                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

     THIS GAMING DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as
the "Agreement") is made as of January 12, 2005 ("Effective Date") by and
between the Pawnee Chilocco Gaming Corporation ("Pawnee"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Pawnee Tribal Development Corporation ("Pawnee TDC"), each
created under the Constitution of and a governmental subdivision of the Pawnee
Nation of Oklahoma ("Pawnee Nation"), a federally recognized Indian tribe, and
Lakes Pawnee Consulting, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company ("Lakes").

                                    RECITALS

     A. The Pawnee Nation is a federally recognized Indian tribe eligible for
the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indian
tribes, and is recognized as possessing and exercising powers of
self-government. As a tribally-chartered corporation and governmental
subdivision, Pawnee TDC is vested with the sovereign immunity of the tribe, and
has been established to control and manage the economic affairs of the Pawnee
Nation. Pawnee TDC has established Pawnee, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pawnee
TDC and tribally-chartered corporation, as the legal entity which will own and
operate certain gaming projects which are to be developed by Pawnee TDC on
behalf of the Pawnee Nation.

     B. Pawnee wishes to develop, construct and operate gaming facility projects
which will conduct Class II Gaming (and also Class III Gaming activities in the
event of federal agency approval of a Tribal-State Compact between the Pawnee
Nation and the State of Oklahoma permitting such gaming) ("Gaming Facilities,"
as further defined herein), together with related amenities such as a hotel,
food and beverage facilities, retail outlets, and ancillary building and
enterprises that enhance the Gaming Facilities ("Ancillary Facilities," as
further defined herein) (the Gaming Facilities and the Ancillary Facilities
together, the "Project Facilities"). Pawnee and Lakes intend that the Project
Facilities will be developed as individual projects according to a development
schedule agreed to by the parties. The Project Facilities are expected to
generate substantial revenues for Pawnee TDC, and therefore significantly
improve the social, economic and health conditions of present and future tribal
members, while strengthening the Pawnee Nation's overall economic
self-sufficiency and self-determination.

     C. Lakes has the requisite skills, resources, experience, and expertise
related to real estate acquisitions, financing, development and construction,
and operations of gaming facilities and related amenities to assist Pawnee in
the development, financing and construction of the Project Facilities and to
provide consulting services relating to Project Facilities.

Project Preliminary Development Loans; (2) assistance in arranging the Project
Permanent Financings; (3) development and construction management for the
Project Facilities; and (4) consulting services in connection with pre-opening
and post-opening operations of the Project Facilities.

     F. Pawnee desires to grant to Lakes the exclusive right to develop, arrange
for financing of, construct, equip and consult in connection with pre-opening
and post-opening operations of Pawnee's Project Facilities as set forth in this
Agreement, and Lakes desires to undertake those responsibilities in accordance
with this Agreement. Pawnee also desires to grant to Lakes the right to
participate in any other gaming project opportunity Pawnee pursues in the State
of Oklahoma under the same terms and conditions described herein.

     G. Pawnee and Lakes intend that this Agreement shall be operative and

          shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes prepared by Lakes,
          substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT A to this Agreement
          ("Pawnee Note"), in each case executed on behalf of Pawnee, and dated
          the date of the applicable loan (collectively with any note executed
          by Pawnee in favor of Lakes in connection with the development of any
          Project, the "Pawnee Notes"), to be secured by certain security
          interests and liens on (i) the proceeds of any Project Permanent
          Financing; (ii) all Revenues from the Project; (iii) the Project's
          Furnishing and Equipment; (iv) any fee lands upon which the Project is
          located (collectively, the "Collateral"). In no event shall Lakes have
          recourse to Revenue distributions already received by Pawnee from the
          Project and made to the Pawnee TDC in accordance with this Agreement
          and/or any applicable dominion account agreement.

     (b)  If the principal amount of the Pawnee Note is exceeded by any pending
          advance on the Project Preliminary Development Loan, prior to such
          advance being made and prior to Lakes having any obligation to fund
          such advance, Pawnee shall execute and deliver to Lakes either (i) an
          amendment to such Pawnee Note, increasing the principal amount of the
          note by an amount at least equal to the pending advance, or (ii) an
          additional Pawnee Note with a principal amount at least equal to the
          principal amount of the pending advance, as determined by Lakes.

     (c)  Amounts advanced from time to time as part of the Project Preliminary
          Development Loan shall bear interest, from the date of advance, at the
          greater of either the prime interest rate of Chase Manhattan Bank
          U.S.A., N.A. (or any successor bank) plus two percent (2%) or the same
          rate as the Project Permanent Financing for each particular Project in
          place at the time of the advance.

     (d)  Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, all principal and
          interest accrued on each Project Preliminary Development Loan shall
          become due and payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments
          beginning on the 25th day following the Opening Date for the Project
          if the loan has not previously been repaid through the Project
          Permanent Financing. Pawnee shall use its best efforts to cause the
          Project Preliminary Development Loan to be paid out of the proceeds of
          the Project Permanent Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
          Project


                                      -11-

<PAGE>

          Preliminary Development Loan shall become due and owing in its
          entirety upon (i) the occurrence of a Pawnee Event of Default under
          Section 10.3, which default is either incapable of cure or has not
          been cured within the time period set forth in Section 10.4, or (ii)
          termination of this Agreement under Section 11.3.

     (e)  The Project Preliminary Development Loan may be prepaid without
          penalty by Pawnee at any time, in whole or in part, together with
          accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

     (f)  No amounts shall be loaned under the Project Preliminary Development
          Loan except for costs set forth in the Project Preliminary Development
          Budget, unless Lakes in its sole discretion agrees to advance such
          funds, in which case, such advances shall be Project Costs. Lakes
          shall have no obligation to advance funds for costs unless such costs
          are set forth in the Project Preliminary Development Budget and such
          costs:

          (i)  have been approved in advance by the Development Committee, or

          (ii) constitute payments properly due within the terms and scope of
               Project Contractors contracts.

          Upon any such payment by Lakes, an advance on the Project Preliminary
          Development Loan shall automatically occur.

     (g)  The Project Preliminary Development Loan, together with interest
          thereon, shall be payable from and secured by a pledge of the
          Collateral.

          To that end, Pawnee hereby pledges and grants a security interest in
          all the Collateral to Lakes to secure Pawnee's obligations under this
          Agreement and under the Pawnee Notes, further agrees to enter into
          standard and customary dominion account agreements/security
          agreements/mortgages or deeds of trust necessary to evidence and
          effectuate such liens, and authorizes Lakes to file those financing
          statements and similar documents and agreements as Lakes may believe
          appropriate to perfect such liens.

     (i)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3, Lakes
          shall not be obligated to fund any advances on each Project
          Preliminary Development Loan after the earliest of:

          (i)  the Project Permanent Financing Date for the applicable Project;

          (ii) the second anniversary of the first advance under the applicable
               Project Preliminary Development Loan;

          (iii) the failure of Pawnee to cure, within the time prescribed in
               this Agreement, any default under this Agreement or any Pawnee
               Note for which Pawnee receives written notice;


                                      -12-

<PAGE>

          (iv) sixty (60) days after written notice by Lakes that a reasonable
               basis exists for concluding that this Agreement, the development
               of the Project, or the operation of the Project's Gaming Facility
               is not lawful;

          (v)  any determination by Lakes that a reasonable basis exists for
               concluding that any material terms of this Agreement or the
               Pawnee Notes are not valid or binding obligations of the Pawnee;

          (vi) any reasonable determination by Lakes (which may be based on the
               advice of legal counsel) that any representations contained in
               Section 8.2 are not true and correct; and

          (vii) the commencement of any litigation which, in the reasonable
               determination of Lakes, has a reasonable likelihood of delaying
               the completion of the Project's Project Facilities for more than
               24 months after the Effective Date of this Agreement.

     Section 3.2 Conditions Precedent to First Advance of Project Preliminary
Development Loan or Perform any Obligations. Notwithstanding Section 3.1, Lakes
is not required to make any advance under each Project Preliminary Development
Loan or perform any obligations under this Agreement until Lakes receives each

acknowledge that this Agreement is for consulting services only and that Lakes
shall not engage in any management activities or perform any management services
hereunder with respect to any Project. The parties expressly acknowledge that
the decision to adopt, approve or implement any proposal, suggestion or

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

     (e)  No Violation or Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by
          Lakes of this Agreement does not violate any Legal Requirement
          applicable to Lakes, other than a violation that shall not materially
          adversely affect any particular Project or Pawnee's obligations or
          rights under this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance
          of this Agreement does not conflict with or result in any breach of

          imposition of any lien or charge upon any asset of Lakes under, or
          result in the acceleration of any obligation under the terms of any
          agreement or document binding upon Lakes, other than a conflict,
          breach, default or imposition that shall not materially adversely
          affect any particular Project or Pawnee's obligations or rights under

          Agreement and no report or statement delivered to Pawnee by or on
          behalf of Lakes, contains any untrue statement or omits to state a
          material fact necessary to make any such representation, warranty,
          report or statement, in light of the circumstances in which they were
          made, not misleading.

          and all amounts necessary in order to comply with Lakes' commitment to
          provide the Project Preliminary Development Loan under Article 3

          transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which Lakes or its
          Affiliates could become liable or obligated, and neither Pawnee nor

          such amounts.

warrants to Lakes that:


                                      -18-

<PAGE>

     (a)  Organization. Pawnee is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Pawnee TDC,
          which is a governmental subdivision of the Pawnee Nation, an Indian
          tribe eligible to conduct gaming within the meaning of IGRA.

     (b)  Authority and Power. Pawnee has taken all action required by tribal
          law without the necessity of further action to authorize the
          execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, all Pawnee
          Notes and related security documents and instruments described herein.
          Pawnee has all requisite power and authority to enter into this
          Agreement, all Pawnee Notes, and related security documents and
          instruments described herein to perform its obligations under this
          Agreement, all Pawnee Notes, and related security documents and
          instruments described herein, and to consummate all other transactions
          contemplated by this Agreement, the Pawnee Notes and related security
          documents and instruments described herein.

     (c)  Binding Obligations. Each of this Agreement (including but not limited
          to, the waiver of sovereign immunity in Article 12), the Pawnee Notes
          and related security documents and instruments described herein has
          been duly executed and delivered by Pawnee and is a legal, valid,
          binding and perfected obligation of Pawnee, enforceable against Pawnee

          by future bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings, limitations
          on rights of creditors generally and principles of equity, and
          assuming the foregoing agreements are binding against the other
          parties thereto.

     (d)  Gaming Facility Site. The Gaming Facility Site for any particular
          Project constitutes "Indian lands" upon which the Pawnee Nation may

          II Gaming (and Class III Gaming in the event of a Compact) activities

     (f)  Gaming Rights. Once signed by the Pawnee Nation and the State and
          approved and published by the United States Secretary of the Interior,
          the Compact will be in effect and will be a valid and binding

                           JURISDICTION; GOVERNING LAW

     Section 12.1 Dispute Resolution. The parties agree that any Claim shall be
governed by the following dispute resolution procedures:

     (a)  The parties shall use their best efforts to settle the Claim. To this
          effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith
          and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and
          equitable solution satisfactory to both parties. If they do not reach

                                      -25-

          notice by either party to the other, all Claims shall be settled by
          arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in
          accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules in
          effect at the time of submission; except that: (a) the question
          whether or not a Claim is arbitrable shall be a matter for binding
          arbitration by the arbitrators, such question shall not be determined
          by any court and, in determining any such question, all doubts shall
          be resolved in favor of arbitrability; and (b) discovery shall be
          permitted in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
          subject to supervision as to scope and appropriateness by the
          arbitrators. Unless the parties otherwise agree to in writing,
          arbitration proceedings shall be held at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

     (b)  The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted before a panel of three
          neutral arbitrators, all of whom shall be currently licensed
          attorneys, actively engaged in the practice of law for at least ten
          (10) years, one of which shall have five (5) years of experience in
          federal Indian law, and one of which shall have five (5) years of
          experience in the gaming industry. The arbitrator selected by the
          claimant and the arbitrator selected by respondent shall, within ten
          (10) days of their appointment, select a third neutral arbitrator. In
          the event that they are unable to do so, the parties or their
          attorneys may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint
          the third neutral arbitrator. Prior to the commencement of hearings,
          each of the arbitrators appointed shall provide an oath or undertaking
          of impartiality. Pawnee further agrees that any arbitration proceeding
          held in connection with any Claim may be consolidated with any other
          arbitration proceeding involving Lakes or its Affiliates and any of
          Pawnee's Affiliates.

     (c)  The arbitration award shall be in writing signed by each of the
          arbitrators, and shall state the basis for the award. The arbitration
          award shall be set forth in reasonable detail as to its findings of
          fact and law, and basis of determination of award form and amount.
          Except to the extent such enforcement will be inconsistent with a
          specific provision of this Agreement, arbitration awards made pursuant
          to this Article 12 shall be enforceable in federal court under Title 9
          of the United States Code and any applicable tribal, federal or state
          law governing the enforcement of arbitration awards. In addition to
          any basis for appeal of an arbitration award stated in Title 9 of the
          United States Code or any applicable law governing the enforcement of
          arbitration awards, either party hereto may appeal an arbitration
          award on the basis that the arbitrators incorrectly decided a question
          of law in making the award, or the award was made in an arbitrary or
          capricious manner or in manifest disregard of the factual evidence.

     (d)  Either party hereto, without having to exhaust any tribal remedies
          first, shall have the right to seek and obtain a court order from a
          court having jurisdiction over the parties requiring that the
          circumstances specified in the order be maintained pending completion
          of the arbitration proceedings, to the extent permitted by applicable
          law.

     (e)  Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having
          jurisdiction over the parties. The arbitrators shall not have the
          power to award punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, or any
          damages excluded by or in excess of any damage limitations expressed
          in this Agreement.

     (f)  Pawnee hereby expressly waives, and also waives its right to assert,
          sovereign immunity and any and all defenses based thereon with respect
          to any Claims; and Pawnee hereby consents to (i) binding arbitration
          under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
          Association, (ii) empowering the arbitrators to take the actions and
          enforce the judicial remedies described in paragraph 5 of the Pawnee
          Resolution of Limited Waiver of Sovereign Immunity dated Janaury 12,
          2005 issued in connection with the execution of this Agreement, and
          (iii) judicial proceedings in or before the United States District
          Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, or if that court
          determines it is without jurisdiction, then to the courts of the State
          of Oklahoma and all courts to which an appeal therefrom may be
          available, but solely to compel, enforce, modify or vacate any
          arbitration award.

     (g)  To the extent lawful in connection with any such Claims, Pawnee
          expressly waive the application of the doctrines of exhaustion of
          tribal remedies or comity that might otherwise require that Claims be
          heard first in tribal court or other tribal forum of Pawnee Nation.
          The waivers set forth herein only extend to claims or proceedings
          brought by Lakes and any award of damages against Pawnee shall be
          payable solely out of the Collateral.

including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, fires, floods, or

be reimbursed. Lakes shall be listed as an additional insured on all insurance
policies with respect to any Project. Pawnee further agrees to indemnify and
hold each Lakes Indemnittee harmless from any and all liabilities, claims,
losses and expenses arising from any prior agreements entered into by Pawnee,

development, construction and/or operation of the Project Facilities of any
particular Project.

     Section 13.10 Compliance with Legal Requirements. All parties shall at all
times comply with all Legal Requirements.

     Section 13.11 Further Assurances. The parties agree to do all acts and to
deliver all necessary documents as from time to time are reasonably required to
carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the filing of
financing statements and related security instruments described herein.

     Section 13.12 Cooperation; Approvals. Each of the parties agrees to
cooperate in good faith with the other to timely implement the purposes of this
Agreement. Any consents or approvals required to be given in connection with
this Agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by the parties or
their Affiliates.

     Section 13.14 No Management Contract or Grant of Proprietary Interest. The
parties agree that it is their intent that neither this Agreement nor any of the
Tribal Notes or and related security documents and instruments described herein
(individually or collectively) constitute a "Management Contract" within the
meaning of IGRA. Upon the Effective Date, the parties shall submit this
Agreement to the NIGC for review and determination that it is not a Management
Contract and therefore does not require the approval of the NIGC in order to be
valid, regardless of whether it constitutes a "collateral agreement" as that
term is defined in IGRA. Each party shall use its best efforts to pursue such
determination and timely execute, deliver, and if necessary, record any and all
additional instruments, certifications, and other documents as may be required
by the NIGC in order to issue such determination; provided that such required
instrument or other document shall not materially change the respective rights,
remedies or obligations of the parties under this Agreement. If the NIGC finds
that this Agreement does constitute a Management Contract within the meaning of
IGRA, then the parties shall immediately take all necessary steps to amend or
modify the Agreement in a way that preserves the economic benefits of the
transactions to both parties without constituting a Management Contract.

     Section 13.15 Confidentiality. Except as required by Legal Requirements,
including but not limited to, reporting requirements imposed on publicly traded
companies, each of the parties agrees that all non-public information exchanged
between the parties with respect to any particular Project shall be kept
confidential by each party and only disclosed to that party's legal counsel,
financial advisors or as reasonably required to be disclosed in connection with
the Project, including in connection with obtaining the Project Permanent
Financing.
