Any person extending financing, directly or indirectly, to the Tribe’s gaming facilities or gaming operations shall be licensed by the Commission prior to extending that financing; provided, that any person who is extending financing at the time of the execution of the Compact shall be licensed by the Commission within 90 days of such execution. Any agreement between the Tribe and a financial source shall be deemed to include a provision for its termination without further liability on the part of the Tribe, except for the bona fide repayment of all outstanding sums (exclusive of interest) owed as of the date of termination, upon revocation or nonrenewal of the financial source’s license by the Commission based on a determination of unsuitability by the State Gaming Agency. The Tribe shall not enter into, or continue to make payments pursuant to, any contract or agreement for the provision of financing with any person whose application to the State Gaming Agency for a determination of suitability has been denied or has expired without renewal. A gaming resource supplier who provides financing exclusively in connection with the sale or lease of gaming resources obtained from that supplier may be licensed solely in accordance with licensing procedures applicable, if at all, to gaming resource suppliers. The Commission may, at its discretion, exclude from the licensing requirements of this section, financing provided by a federally regulated or state-regulated bank, savings and loan, or other federally or state-regulated lending institution; or any agency of the federal, state, or local government; or any investor who, alone or in conjunction with others, holds less than 10 percent of any outstanding indebtedness evidenced by bonds issued by the Tribe. [Amended 4/12/04; Ord. 08-03 Art. IX § 18, approved 11/8/03.]
