Second Amended and Restated Development Agreement dated as of December 22, 2004,
and a Third Amended and Restated Development Agreement of even date hereof
(collectively, and as heretofore and hereafter further amended, substituted,

amount due hereunder shall not exceed Forty-Six Million Dollars ($46,000,000.00)
except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2.1(a) of the Development Agreement.

     1. Advances; Funding. Advances under this Note shall be made (a) upon
written request by the Band to Lakes in the form of Draw Request attached as
Exhibit A, (b) through a Draw Request approved by the Band pursuant to the
Control Agreement, (c) through other written requests by the Band to Lakes
permitted by the Development Agreement or any applicable Transaction Document,
or (d) through advances by Lakes to the Enterprise Bank Accounts to pay
Development Expenditures in accordance with either (I) the Approved Development
Budget or, prior to the adoption of the Approved Development Budget, the
approval of the Business Board or the Band; and (II) the Development Agreement.
Draw Requests submitted by the Band shall be sent in accordance with Section
15.4 of the Development Agreement. Advances under this Note may, at Lakes'

     2. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance under this
Note as follows:

     (a) if the Bank Closing occurs, at a fixed rate equal to the lesser of (i)
     Base Rate as of the Bank Closing plus 1% or (ii) 10% (the "Band Interest
     Rate"); or

     (b) If the Bank Closing does not occur, at a variable rate equal to the
     lesser of (i) Base Rate plus 1% or (ii) 10% (the lesser of (i) and (ii)
     being referred to as the "Variable Interest Rate"). Lakes shall adjust the
     Variable Interest Rate on the then unpaid principal balance, by way of

Closing shall be adjusted retroactively to reflect the Band Interest Rate. "Base
Rate" means the lowest Prime Rate as is published daily in The Wall Street

Rate, then the holder hereof may in its reasonable discretion select some other
generally recognized comparable indicator of the national Prime Rate.

               of the month after the month in which the Commencement Date
               occurs, in equal monthly payments of principal and interest in an
               amount sufficient to amortize such principal and accrued interest
               over (a), if pursuant to the Development Agreement the term of
               the Lakes Development Loan is seven (7) years, the successive
               eighty-four months of that term; or (b), if pursuant to the
               Development Agreement the term of the Lakes Development Loan is
               five (5) years, the successive 60 months of that term; and, if
               not sooner paid, in full at the end of the Term (except as
               provided in Section 13.7 of the Development Agreement).

          II.   If the Commencement Date does not occur, principal and interest
               shall be repayable to the extent and in the manner provided in
               the Development Agreement; provided that payments shall in any
               event be due and made only from the sources specified in Sections
               14.3 and 14.4 of the Development Agreement. If Gaming commences
               at a Subsequent Gaming Facility and payment is due under this
               Note in accordance with the Development Agreement, the Band
               shall, beginning on the 15th day of the month following such
               commencement date, make equal monthly payments to Lakes of
               principal and interest in an amount sufficient to amortize the
               principal amount outstanding as of such commencement date over a
