- OFN LP 2008 shall be entitled to object to the calculation of the Monthly Revenue Share Payments that are based upon an Audited Gross Revenues Statement by delivering a written notice of objection to OLG or the other Agent of the Province, as applicable, within 20 days of receipt by OFN LP 2008 of the Audited Gross Revenues Statement. Such right of objection shall be limited to (i) any recalculation of Gross Revenues by OLG or another Agent of the Province in the circumstances of a change in any applicable accounting practice or principle, pursuant to section 2.4, (ii) or an alleged manifest error in the calculation of Gross Revenues or of the Mrsp set out in the Audited Gross Revenues Statement and, for greater certainty, shall not include the right of OFN LP 2008 or any OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner to audit the audited Gross Revenues determination of OLG or any Agent of the Province for any Fiscal Year, including the Preceding Fiscal Year. If OFN LP 2008 does not so object within such 20 day period, OFN LP 2008 shall be deemed to have agreed to the calculations and amounts set out in the applicable Audited Gross Revenues Statement. If OFN LP 2008 does so object, OFN LP 2008 and OLG or that other Agent of the Province shall each, within five days of the date OLG or that other Agent of the Province received the notice of objection from OFN LP 2008, appoint a representative, which representatives, together with any required third party advisors, including third party advisors of OLG or that other Agent of the Province, as applicable, shall co-operate in good faith in order to try to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute has not been resolved within 30 days after the date OLG or the other Agent of the Province, as applicable, received the notice of objection from OFN LP 2008, the Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 9. Once any objection by OFN LP 2008 has been resolved, the resolution will be reflected in future Monthly Revenue Share Payments with any adjustments to previously paid or future Monthly Revenue Share Payments being addressed in the same manner as adjustments under sections 2.2(c)(iii)(A) and 2.2(c)(iii)(B).

Financial Statements
- Commencing with Fiscal Year 2012, OLG shall, and the Province shall cause each other Agent of the Province to, prepare and deliver to OFN LP 2008 a copy of the Consolidated Financial Statements of OLG or that Agent of the Province, as applicable, for the Preceding Fiscal Year, including the signed auditors report therein, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date that the Consolidated Financial Statements are laid before the Legislative Assembly of Ontario or are otherwise made public in accordance with Applicable Laws.

- If for any reason the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Preceding Fiscal Year of OLG or any other Agent of the Province contain a final Gross Revenues figure for the Preceding Fiscal Year that is different than the Gross Revenues figure contained in the Audited Gross Revenues Statement of OLG or such other Agent of the Province for the Preceding Fiscal Year (other than a difference as a result of a change in an accounting practice or principle of the Province, OLG or any other Agent of the Province as described in section 2.4), then:
- the Province shall pay, or shall cause an Agent of the Province to pay, as applicable, to OFN LP 2008, without interest, at the time the next Monthly Revenue Share Payment is due and payable, the amount, if any, by which the Mrsp that should have been paid to OFN LP 2008 based on the final Gross Revenues figure in the Consolidated Financial Statements exceeds the Mrsp that was actually paid to OFN LP 2008 pursuant to section 2.2(c), for each month in the Fiscal Year for which an Mrsp had already been paid based on the Audited Gross Revenues Statement; or
- the Province shall deduct, or cause an Agent of the Province, as applicable, to deduct, without interest, from the next Monthly Revenue Share Payment(s) due to OFN LP 2008, the amount, if any, by which the Mrsp that should have been paid to OFN LP 2008 based on the final Gross Revenues figure in the Consolidated Financial Statements is less than the Mrsp that was actually paid to OFN LP 2008 pursuant to section 2.2(c), for each month in the Fiscal Year for which an Mrsp had already been paid based on the Audited Gross Revenues Statement.
- OFN LP 2008 shall be entitled to object to any difference between (i) the Gross Revenues figure contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Preceding Fiscal Year of OLG or any other Agent of the Province and (ii) the Gross Revenues figure contained in the Audited Gross Revenues Statement of OLG or any other Agent of the Province, as the case may be, by delivering a written notice of objection to OLG or the other Agent of the Province, as applicable, within 20 days of receipt by OFN LP 2008 of such Consolidated Financial Statements. For greater certainty such right of objection shall be limited to any such difference between such Gross Revenue figures and shall not include the right of OFN LP 2008 or any OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner to audit the audited Gross Revenues determination of OLG or any Agent of the Province for any Fiscal Year, including the Preceding Fiscal Year. If OFN LP 2008 does not so object within such 20 day period, OFN LP 2008 shall be deemed to have agreed to the Gross Revenue figures set out in such Consolidated Financial Statements. If OFN LP 2008 does so object, OFN LP 2008 and OLG or that other Agent of the Province shall each, within five days of the date OLG or that other Agent of the Province received the notice of objection from OFN LP 2008, appoint a representative, which representatives, together with any required third party advisors, including third party advisors of OLG or that other Agent of the Province, as applicable, shall co-operate in good faith in order to try to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute has not been resolved within 30 days after the date OLG or that other Agent of the Province received the notice of objection from OFN LP 2008, the Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 9. Once any objection by OFN LP 2008 has been resolved, the resolution will be reflected in future Monthly Revenue Share Payments with any adjustments to previously paid or future Monthly Revenue Share Payments being addressed in the same manner as adjustments under sections 2.3(c)(i) and 2.3(c)(ii).

-
Unsigned First Nations
- Each of OFN LP and OFN LP 2008 covenants and agrees that it shall use its good faith reasonable efforts to explain to any Unsigned First Nation the benefits of this Agreement to such Unsigned First Nation in order that such Unsigned First Nation can determine whether it will become an OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner.
- OFN LP 2008 covenants and agrees that the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement provides and will continue to provide during the Initial Term and the Renewal Term that OFN 2008 General Partner will hold in a segregated account for each Unsigned First Nation all monies to which such Unsigned First Nation would be entitled to have distributed to it under this Agreement and the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement if such Unsigned First Nation had been an OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner at the Effective Date (all such monies the “Held Amounts” and individually, a “Held Amount”) and that each such Held Amount will not be distributed to any Person except as provided in this Agreement and in section 5.2 of the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement. OFN LP 2008 and the Province shall review this section 3.1 at the end of each fiscal year of OFN LP 2008 and determine whether the Held Amounts should continue to be held by OFN 2008 General Partner or otherwise used as provided in section 5.2 of the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement.
- OFN 2008 General Partner shall pay out of the Held Amount attributable to an Unsigned First Nation (but not otherwise), such amounts as are necessary in order to satisfy all Losses which are suffered by the Province, OLG or by any other Agent of the Province or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, servants or agents (each of the foregoing a “Protected Party” and all of the foregoing collectively, the “Protected Parties”) and which are attributable to or arise out of or in connection with any claim (such claims an “Unsigned First Nation Claim”) by any Unsigned First Nation:
- related to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing Agreement by OFN LP 2008 or the completion of the Closing including, without limitation, the discontinuance of the 20% Litigation;
- that it has an interest in the subject matter of this Agreement or the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement, that is not subject to or adequately provided for or is inappropriately provided for in the terms of this Agreement, the Closing Agreement or the OFN LP 2008 Limited Partnership Agreement;
- that it has an interest in the CRRA or the OFN LP Partnership Agreement that is not subject to or adequately provided for or is inappropriately provided for in the terms of this Agreement, the Closing Agreement or the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement; or
- that it is entitled to any amount or rights in addition to, greater than or alternative to those provided for under this Agreement, the Closing Agreement or the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement;
(all such Losses being the “Liabilities”); provided that, if such Unsigned First Nation’s Held Amount is not sufficient to satisfy all of that Unsigned First Nation’s Liabilities in full, OFN 2008 General Partner shall divide and distribute such Held Amount among the relevant Protected Parties in such shares as their respective entitlements to compensation bear to the total entitlements to compensation of all such Protected Parties.
- In the event that the Held Amount attributable to an Unsigned First Nation is not sufficient to satisfy all of its Liabilities, OFN 2008 General Partner shall divide and distribute all future payments (the “Future Payments”) to which such Unsigned First Nation (whether such Unsigned First Nation becomes an OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner or not) would otherwise become entitled under this Agreement or the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement, among the relevant Protected Parties on the same basis as set out in section 3.1(c) until the Unsigned First Nation’s Liabilities are satisfied in full.
- If one or more Unsigned First Nations obtains a judgment of a court of final jurisdiction with no further right of appeal (the “Claimants”), which establishes or declares any right or entitlement claimed by an Unsigned First Nation as contemplated in section 3.1(c) (the “Judgment”) the parties agree, subject to the terms of the Judgment, to enter into good faith negotiations with each other and the Claimants in accordance with the Judgment, for the distribution of the $201 Million Payment and the Monthly Revenue Share Payments through such amendments to this Agreement as are necessary to address the terms of the Judgment. In the event that the parties to this Agreement and the Claimants are unable to negotiate any such mutually acceptable agreement within 180 days of the Judgment, the Province may unilaterally amend this Agreement to address the terms of the Judgment by providing written notice to the other parties hereto of the Province’s election to unilaterally amend this Agreement pursuant to this section 3.1(e) together with the terms of such unilateral amendment. Upon such unilateral amendment, the Province will be entitled to distribute the $201 Million Payment and the Monthly Revenue Share Payments to First Nations in Ontario on a fair and reasonable basis and, to the extent possible, on terms consistent with the terms of this Agreement prior to its amendment. The parties acknowledge that an objective of any amendment negotiated or unilaterally imposed shall be to minimize the changes to the existing terms of this Agreement.
- Any Held Amounts and Future Payments attributable to an Unsigned First Nation(s) shall first be used to satisfy all Liabilities related to an Unsigned First Nation Claim of that Unsigned First Nation other than those in satisfaction of a Judgment and, upon such satisfaction of such Liabilities other than those in satisfaction of a Judgment, any balance of such Held Amount and Future Payments shall be used to satisfy the Liabilities related to an Unsigned First Nation Claim of that Unsigned First Nation related to or arising out of a Judgment. In the event that any Held Amounts and Future Payments attributable to an Unsigned First Nation(s) are used to satisfy any Losses, Liabilities, or Judgment suffered or incurred by the Protected Parties and related to an Unsigned First Nation Claim of that Unsigned First Nation and, after all such Losses, Liabilities and Judgments have been satisfied in full from such Held Amounts and Future Payments, any positive balance remaining in such Held Amounts and all subsequent Future Payments attributable to such Unsigned First Nation(s) may, in full subordination in priority to the complete satisfaction of all Losses, Liabilities and Judgments suffered or incurred by the Protected Parties, be applied to satisfy any Losses or Liabilities suffered or incurred or any Judgments against OFN LP , OFN LP 2008, OFN General Partner, OFN 2008 General Partner or their respective directors, officers, employees, servants or agents (all of the foregoing collectively, the “OFN Protected Parties”) related to an Unsigned First Nation Claim of that Unsigned First Nation.
- Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, including the other provisions of this Article 3, OFN LP and OFN LP 2008 shall and hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Protected Parties against and from any and all Losses or Liabilities of whatsoever kind, including amounts paid to settle an action (provided such settlement has been consented to by OFN LP 2008, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) or to satisfy a judgment and including all legal fees and other expenses, which any Protected Party may sustain or incur or become subject to, arising out of or relating directly or indirectly to an Unsigned First Nation Claim made by any one or more Unsigned First Nations. A Protected Party shall provide prompt written notice to OFN LP and OFN LP 2008 of any notice it receives of assertion of a claim for which the Protected Party is entitled to indemnification under this section 3.1(g).
- OFN LP and OFN LP 2008 agree that, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, including the other provisions of this Article 3, the full amount of any Losses or Liabilities of the Protected Parties may be payable by the Province and may be deducted and set off from and against any payments payable to OFN LP pursuant to the terms of the CRRA and the $201 Million Payment and the Monthly Revenue Share Payments, including the Collective Use Monies, payable by the Province to OFN LP 2008 pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until all such amounts have been paid in full. The Province agrees that it will not deduct and set off from and against any such payments any amount of any Losses or Liabilities of the Protected Parties in accordance with this section 3.1(h) until at least three months from the day that a Protected Party provides notice to OFN LP , OFN LP 2008 or both of them, that the Protected Party claims indemnification from OFN LP , OFN LP 2008 or both of them pursuant to section 3.1(g).
- OFN LP and OFN LP 2008 further agree that the amount of any Judgment, including without duplication, any award of costs and prejudgment and post judgment interest, in favour of one or more Claimants, may be payable by the Province and may be deducted and set off by the Province from and against any payments payable to OFN LP pursuant to the terms of the CRRA and the $201 Million Payment and the Monthly Revenue Share Payments payable by the Province to OFN LP 2008 pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until all such amounts have been paid in full.
- In the event that an Unsigned First Nation becomes an OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner and no longer is an Unsigned First Nation, and provided there are no outstanding Losses, Liabilities or Judgments arising from any Unsigned First Nation Claim by such First Nation against the Protected Parties or the OFN Protected Parties and provided there are no outstanding Unsigned First Nation Claims initiated by such First Nation against any of the Protected Parties or the OFN Protected Parties, then such Unsigned First Nation shall be entitled to receive the Held Amounts and all Future Payments from and after the date that such Unsigned First Nation becomes an OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner. If an Unsigned First Nation does not become an OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner during the Initial Term or Renewal Term of this Agreement, and provided there are no outstanding Losses, Liabilities or Judgments arising from any Unsigned First Nation Claim by such Unsigned First Nation against the Protected Parties or the OFN Protected Parties, and provided there are no outstanding Unsigned First Nation Claims initiated by such Unsigned First Nation against any of the Protected Parties or the OFN Protected Parties, then OFN LP 2008 shall be entitled at the expiry of the Renewal Term to receive and distribute pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement, the Held Amounts attributable to such Unsigned First Nation.

- Where, in respect of Indebtedness incurred prior to the Effective Date:
- there is reasonable evidence that the Indebtedness was incurred for one or more of the Approved Purposes referred to in this section 4.2; and
- the lack of more complete evidence is reasonably attributable to one or more of the period of time that has passed since the incurrence of such Indebtedness, any loss of records due to fire, flood or other reasons beyond an OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner’s control or limitations of record-keeping of an OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner due to its limited size, remoteness or lack of financial resources;

- delivers a report which, on the face of it, does not appear to the Joint Appointee, acting reasonably, to provide a response to substantially all the content requirements of the report; or
- delivers a report that contains a qualified review by the auditors of the OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner and the qualification relates to the Limited Partner Distributions received by the OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner unless the Province, for such period specified by the Province, agrees in writing that this requirement does not apply.
- The Joint Appointee shall provide notice to OFN LP 2008 and the Province regarding any non-compliance by any OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner with the reporting obligations contemplated in section 5.1 forthwith, but no later than 30 days after the Joint Appointee has determined that such non-compliance has occurred.

- Without limiting the obligations of OFN LP 2008 to suspend distributions in accordance with the terms of section 9.4(d), the parties agree that notwithstanding that such suspension of distributions pursuant to section 9.4(d) may have occurred and may remain in effect, such suspension of distributions pursuant to section 9.4(d) is without prejudice to the right of OFN LP 2008 to submit the question of whether or not an OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner has failed to comply with the reporting obligations contemplated by section 5.1 to the dispute resolution process under sections 9.1 and 9.2.
- Notwithstanding sections 9.1 and 9.2, in the event the Joint Appointee does not receive one or more of the financial statements required to be provided to OFN LP 2008 pursuant to section 5.1 within the time specified in such section, the provisions of sections 9.4(b) through 9.4(d) shall apply.

Following a decision of the Arbitrators that OFN LP 2008 is in breach of or not in compliance with the provisions of either of sections 5.2 or 8.5(c) of this Agreement, then the Province shall be entitled to suspend any payments payable to OFN LP 2008 pursuant to Article 2 of this Agreement, on such terms and for such time as the Province in its discretion may determine.
- In the event of a suspension of distributions to an OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner pursuant to section 9.4(d) or 9.5(a): (i) upon such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner correcting its breach or failure to comply, such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner shall be entitled to receive its suspended distributions from OFN LP 2008 and shall again be entitled to receive regular distributions from OFN LP 2008 pursuant to section 4.2, provided that; (ii) if, after the date that is 180 days from and after the date that the Arbitrators directed OFN LP 2008 to suspend distributions to such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner pursuant to section 9.5(a) or the date that OFN LP 2008 suspended distributions to such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner pursuant to section 9.4(d), as the case may be, such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner has failed to remedy the breach or to comply with the provisions of section 4.2 or the reporting obligations of Article 5, then such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner shall have forfeited its right to receive any suspended Limited Partner Distributions and any further Limited Partner Distributions and, subject to section 9.5(c) below, OFN LP 2008 shall be entitled to distribute to the remaining OFN LP 2008 Limited Partners that are not subject to a suspension or forfeiture of Limited Partner Distributions, the amount of such suspended Limited Partner Distributions and any further Limited Partner Distributions to which such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner would be entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement but for such forfeiture.

- Notwithstanding the terms of section 9.5(b) if, in the event of a suspension of distributions to an OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner as a result of such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner acting in a manner described in sections 8.6(a) or (b) (and the corresponding section of the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement) (i) upon such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner ceasing to act in a manner described in sections 8.6(a) or (b) such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner shall be entitled to receive its suspended distributions from OFN LP 2008 and shall again be entitled to receive regular distributions from OFN LP 2008 pursuant to section 4.2, provided that; (ii) if, after the date that is 180 days from and after the date that the Arbitrators directed OFN LP 2008 to suspend distributions to such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner pursuant to section 9.5(a) such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner continues to act in a manner described in sections 8.6 (a) or (b) (and the corresponding section of the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement), then such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner shall have forfeited its right to receive the suspended Limited Partner Distributions and any further Limited Partner Distributions and OFN LP 2008 shall pay the amount of such suspended Limited Partner Distributions, and any further Limited Partner Distributions to which such OFN LP 2008 Limited Partner would be entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the OFN LP 2008 Partnership Agreement but for such forfeiture, into a segregated account maintained by the OFN LP 2008 with a major chartered bank in Canada which shall bear a competitive rate of interest.

- In the event of a suspension of payments to OFN LP 2008 pursuant to section 9.5(a): (i) upon OFN LP 2008 correcting its failure to comply, OFN LP 2008 shall be entitled to receive its suspended payments and shall again be entitled to receive regular payments in accordance with Article 2, provided that; (ii) if, after the date that is 180 days from and after the date that the Province suspended pursuant to section 9.5(a) payments payable to OFN LP 2008 pursuant to Article 2 OFN LP 2008 has failed to remedy its breach or failure to comply with the provisions of section 8.5(c), then OFN LP 2008 shall have forfeited its right to receive the suspended payments and any further payments of the monies under this Agreement and the Province shall, during the remainder of the period up to but not including the date that is the 25th anniversary of the Effective Date, distribute the payments provided for in Article 2 of this Agreement directly to the First Nations in Ontario that are at that time entitled to receive Limited Partner Distributions, on a fair and reasonable basis and after good faith consultations with First Nations in Ontario.

Schedule 1.1(Nn)
Gross Revenues
- For purposes of this Agreement, “Gross Revenues” means, in respect of an Agent of the Province (including OLG , the revenues of that Agent of the Province, before the deduction of promotional allowances, as reported in the Segmented Information notes in the notes to, or as otherwise reported in, the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of that Agent of the Province and generated from the following:
- lotteries, including on-line games, sports games, instant games and bingo gaming;
- slot machines and table games at casinos and racetracks; and
- non-gaming activities ancillary to the conduct and management of Lottery Schemes, including hotel, food, beverage and other services, including the retail value of accommodation, food and beverage services and other services provided to gaming patrons on a complimentary basis.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and for greater certainty:
- Gross Revenues generated from lotteries, slot machines and table games and non-gaming activities as set out above shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be determined in accordance with the OLG revenue recognition accounting practices and principles set out in section 2 of this Schedule 1.1(nn) notwithstanding any changes from and after the date of this Agreement in such accounting practices or principles by OLG or any other Agent of the Province, provided that if any particular accounting practice or principle is not addressed in section 2 of this Schedule 1.1(nn), that accounting practice or principle applied by OLG as at March 15, 2006 shall be used.
- Gross Revenues shall include any revenues generated from the conduct and management of any Lottery Scheme in existence as of March 15, 2006 and any Lottery Scheme which is a new product offering for the Province or any Agent of the Province (for the purposes of this Schedule 1.1(nn), a “New Lottery Scheme”) that comes into existence from and after March 15, 2006, which revenues generated from such New Lottery Scheme shall be determined in accordance with the accounting practices and principles applied to such New Lottery Scheme in the sole discretion of the Province, OLG or any other Agent of the Province, as the case may be, at the time such New Lottery Scheme comes into existence.
- Gross Revenues shall not include any revenues received by the Province, OLG or any other Agent of the Province from the conduct and management of the Lottery Scheme, including such conduct and management at any gaming facility if, and to the extent that, such revenues so received are not retained to the final account of the Province, OLG or any such other Agent of the Province.
- Revenue from lottery games, for which results are determined based on a draw, is recognized when the draw takes place. Revenue for future draws is deferred and recognized when the draw takes place. Revenue from instant games is recognized when the ticket is activated for play by the retailer. Revenue from sports wagering games and bingo gaming is recognized when the ticket is sold to the consumer. Tickets issued as a result of the redemption of free ticket prizes are not recorded as revenue.
Gaming revenue from slot and table game operations represents the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between amounts earned through gaming wagers less the payouts from those wagers.
Non-gaming revenue includes revenue from hotel, food and beverage, entertainment centre and other services and is recognized at the time the services are rendered to patrons. This also includes the retail value of accommodations, food and beverage and other services provided to patrons on a complimentary basis.
