<PAGE>   5

                  Bank shall not distribute any other property in the Account,
                  including without limitation securities or the proceeds of the
                  sale of any securities, to or at the direction of Lakes except
                  to the extent provided in ss. 3.

         b.       Until Bank receives a Band Notice of Exclusive Control, Lakes
                  may direct the investment of all property in the Account in
                  accordance with ss. 8.2 of the Development Agreement, provided

                  swaps, derivatives or commodities; (b) no instruments,
                  certificated securities or financial assets, as defined in the
                  Minnesota Uniform Commercial Code, shall be held in the name
                  of Lakes, and all such assets shall be held in the name of the
                  Account; and (c) any cash balances shall be invested in money
                  market or other financial assets, unless needed to make
                  distributions in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to
                  that limitation, Bank may rely conclusively on Lakes'
                  direction as to investment of property in the Account unless
                  and until Bank receives a Band Notice of Exclusive Control.

         c.       Bank will not comply with any Entitlement Order originated by
                  Lakes that would require Bank to violate this Agreement.

5.       Priority of Bank's Security Interest; Bank's Fees and Expenses; No
         Third Party Entitlement Orders.

         a.       Bank subordinates in favor of Band any security interest,
                  lien, or right of setoff it may have, now or in the future,
                  against the Account or property in the Account, except that
                  Bank will retain its prior lien on property in the Account to
                  secure payment for property purchased for the Account, normal
                  commissions and fees for the Account, and its reasonable fees
                  (including attorneys fees) and expenses relating to the
                  Account. Bank is authorized to deduct such commissions, fees
                  and expenses from the Account. To the extent that the property
                  in the Account is not sufficient to pay such commissions, fees
                  and expenses, the Band and Lakes jointly and severally agree
                  to pay such to Bank promptly on demand.

         b.       Bank will not agree with any third party that Bank will comply
                  with Entitlement Orders originated by the third party with
                  regard to the Account or property in the Account.

6.       Statements, Confirmations and Notices of Adverse Claims.

         a.       Bank will send copies of all statements and confirmations for
                  the Account simultaneously to Lakes and Band. Bank will use
                  reasonable efforts promptly


                                      -5-

<PAGE>   6
                  to notify Band and Lakes if any other person claims that it
                  has a property interest in property in the Account and that it
                  is a violation of that person's rights for anyone else to
                  hold, transfer or deal with the property. Bank will also send
                  the Band copies all other communications sent by Bank to Lakes
                  relating to the Account, and shall furnish the Band with such
                  other information concerning the Escrow Account as Band may
                  reasonably request.

         b.       Lakes shall send Band a copy of all communications sent by
                  Lakes to Bank, including without limitation all Lakes Draw
                  Requests; shall inform the Band of the nature and terms of the
                  financial instruments in which the escrowed funds are
                  invested; and shall furnish the Band with such other
                  information concerning the Account as Band may request.

         c.       The Band shall send Lakes a copy of all communications sent by
                  the Band to Bank relating to the Account.

7.       Bank's Responsibility.

         a.       Except for permitting a withdrawal, delivery or payment in
                  violation of ss.ss. 3 or 4, Bank will not be liable to Band
                  for complying with Entitlement Orders from Lakes that are
                  received by Bank before Bank receives a Band Notice of
                  Exclusive Control.

         b.       Bank will not be liable to Lakes for complying with a Band
                  Notice of Exclusive Control or with Entitlement Orders
                  originated by Band after receipt by the Bank of a Band Notice
                  of Exclusive Control, even if Lakes notifies Bank that Band is
                  not legally entitled to issue the Entitlement Order or the
                  Band Notice of Exclusive Control, unless Bank takes the action
                  after it is served with an Award or Order enjoining or
                  prohibiting compliance with an Entitlement Order of the Band,
                  and had a reasonable opportunity to act on the Award or Order.

         c.       Bank shall incur no liability hereunder except for its willful
                  misconduct or gross negligence so long as it shall have acted
                  in good faith.

         d.       In the event that a dispute arises as to the Account, Bank may
                  liquidate the property in the Account and deposit the proceeds
                  thereof with the Clerk of the United States District Court for
                  the Western District of Michigan, Southern Division, and may
                  interplead the parties hereto. Upon so depositing such
                  documents and money and filing its complaint and interpleader,
                  Bank shall be released from all liability under the terms
                  hereof as to the money so deposited.


                                       -6-

<PAGE>   7


         e.       Bank shall have no responsibility for the genuineness or
                  validity of any notices, certificate, securities, documents or
                  other things deposited with it and shall be fully protected in
                  acting in accordance with any written instructions given to it
                  hereunder and reasonably believed by it to have been signed by
                  the proper person, party or parties. Bank can rely
                  conclusively on the opinion of counsel to the Band, or the
                  opinion of its own counsel, as to the expiration of the time
                  for appeal, denial of appeal or finality of an Order; provided
                  that nothing in this Agreement shall waive or impair any
                  claim, if any, of Lakes against counsel issuing such opinion.



         f.       Bank is expressly authorized to comply with and obey any and
                  all Orders and Final Orders relating to the Account, provided
                  that Bank does not distribute property from the Account
                  without the Band's written consent except pursuant to a Final
                  Order; and in case the Bank so obeys or complies with any such
                  Order or Final Order it shall not be liable to any of the
                  parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by
                  reason of such compliance.

         g.       Without limiting the provisions of ss. 7(c) above, the Bank
                  shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or
                  fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by
                  reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Bank
                  (including but not limited to any act or provision of any
                  present or future law or regulation or governmental authority,
                  any act of God or war, or the unavailability of the Federal
                  Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication
                  facility).

         h.       This Agreement does not create any obligation of Bank except
                  for those expressly set forth in this Agreement. In
                  particular, Bank need not investigate whether Band is entitled
                  under Band's agreements with Lakes to give an Entitlement
                  Order or a Band Notice of Exclusive Control.

         i.       The Account shall be maintained in the name of "Pokagon
                  Collateral Account" on the books of the Bank unless the Band
                  otherwise consents in writing.

8.       Termination; Survival.

         a.       Band may terminate this Agreement by notice to Bank and Lakes.
                  Bank may terminate this Agreement on 60 days' notice to Band
                  and Lakes.

         b.       If Band notifies Bank that Band's security interest in the
                  Account has terminated, this Agreement will immediately
                  terminate.

                                       -7-

         c.       Section 7, "Bank's Responsibility," will survive termination
                  of this Agreement.

9.       Financial Assets.

         All property credited to the Account will be treated as financial
assets and investment property under Articles 8 and 9 of the Minnesota Uniform
Commercial Code.

10.      Successors and Assigns.

         A successor to or assignee of Band's rights and obligations under the
Development Agreement will succeed to Band's rights and obligations under this
Agreement.

11.      Band's Waiver of Sovereign Immunity and Consent to Suit.

         The Band expressly waives its sovereign immunity from suit for the
purpose of permitting or compelling arbitration in disputes under or relating to
this Agreement, and consents to be sued in a Court for the purpose of compelling
arbitration or enforcing any arbitration award or judgment arising out of this
Agreement; provided that such consent is limited to enforcement of awards or
judgments relating to the Band's interest in the Account. If the United States
District Court lacks jurisdiction, the Band consents to be sued in the Michigan
State Court system for the same limited purposes. The Band waives any
requirement of exhaustion of tribal remedies. Without in any way limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Band expressly authorizes any governmental
authorities who have the right and duty under applicable law to take any action
authorized or ordered by any such court, to give effect to any judgment entered;
provided, however, that in no instance shall enforcement of any kind whatsoever
be allowed against any assets of the Band other than the Band's interest in the
Account.

         a.       This Agreement and the Account will be governed by the
                  internal laws of the State of Minnesota. Bank and Lakes may
                  not change the law governing the Account without Band's
                  express written agreement.

         b.       This Agreement may be modified only by a written amendment
                  signed by all the parties hereto, and no waiver of any
                  provision hereof shall be effective unless expressed in a
                  writing signed by the party to be charged.

         c.       The rights and remedies conferred upon the parties hereto
                  shall be cumulative, and the exercise or waiver of any such
                  right or remedy shall not preclude or inhibit the exercise of
                  any additional rights or remedies. The waiver of any right or
                  remedy hereunder shall not preclude the subsequent exercise of
                  such right or remedy.

         d.       The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience
                  of reference only and shall have no effect on the

         e.       This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
                  each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed
                  to be an original and all of which taken together shall
                  constitute one and the same instrument.

         f.       Lakes agrees to indemnify and hold the Band harmless against
                  all costs, expenses and fees (i) charged by the Bank against

                  which the Band pays Bank under ss. 5(a) of this Agreement.

         g.       All income on property in the Account shall be for the account
                  of Lakes. Lakes certifies that its IRS identification number

                  Account shall be reported in its name.

         h.       To the extent a provision of this Agreement is unenforceable,
                  this Agreement will be construed as if the unenforceable
                  provision were omitted.

         i.       The parties agree that Bank is a "securities intermediary" for
                  purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code,
                  as adopted in Minnesota, and that Minnesota is the "securities
                  intermediary's jurisdiction" for all purposes under those
                  Articles with regard to the Control Agreement.

         j.       This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which
                  together shall constitute one original.
