entitled to be cast at a meeting of the Board of Directors or any Sub Board at

Section 2.7             Issuances of New Equity Interests; Preemptive Rights.

 

(a)           Except as expressly provided in the Restructuring Documents and
subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.7 and applicable Gaming
Laws, Holdco agrees that it will not sell or issue any Equity Interests in
Holdco (the “New Securities”) unless Holdco first submits written notice (the
“Preemptive Rights Notice”) to each Qualifying Equityholder identifying the
material terms of the proposed sale (including the price, number or aggregate
principal amount and type of securities and all other material terms) and the
estimated closing date (provided, that the actual closing date may differ from
the estimated closing date) and offers to each Qualifying Equityholder (other
than, subject to paragraph (c), each Qualifying Creditor Equityholder that did
not purchase in any prior offering of New Securities a number of such New
Securities at least equal to the number set forth in clause (A)(2) of the
definition of “Pro Rata Allotment” provided below) (each, a “Preemptive Rights
Offeree”) the opportunity to purchase its Pro Rata Allotment of the New
Securities on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable than
those on which Holdco proposes to sell such New Securities to a third party or
parties.  Holdco’s offer to the Preemptive Rights Offerees shall remain open for
a period of 20 days after the Preemptive Rights Notice during which time each
Preemptive Rights Offeree may accept such offer by written notice to Holdco in
the form specified by Holdco which shall constitute a binding legal obligation
to purchase (a “Preemptive Rights Acceptance Notice”) and shall set forth the
maximum number of New Securities sought to be purchased by such Preemptive
Rights Offeree, including the number of New Securities which such Preemptive
Rights Offeree would purchase if any other Preemptive Rights Offerees do not
elect to purchase their respective full Pro Rata Allotment of the New
Securities.  Each Preemptive Rights Offeree that elects to and does purchase New
Securities pursuant to this Section 2.7 is referred to herein as a “Purchasing
Holder.”  Any New Securities so offered which are not purchased by the
Purchasing Holders pursuant to such offer may be sold by Holdco, but only at a
price not less than the price and on other terms and conditions not more
favorable to the purchasers than as set forth in the Preemptive Rights Notice,
at any time within 180 days following the termination of the above-referenced
20-day period (with such 180-day period being subject to reasonable extensions
in order to procure any required Gaming Licenses or other regulatory approvals
being diligently pursued in good faith).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Holdco Board of Directors determines in its reasonable judgment that any
Preemptive Rights Offeree that duly delivers a Preemptive Rights Acceptance
Notice pursuant to this Section 2.7 is not creditworthy (it being understood
that any Preemptive Rights Offeree delivering a Preemptive Rights Acceptance
Notice shall deliver information as to its creditworthiness reasonably requested
by the Holdco Board of Directors), the Holdco Board of Directors may require
such Preemptive Rights Offeree to deliver a written commitment for its Pro Rata
Allotment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holdco Board of
Directors from another entity determined to be creditworthy by the Holdco Board
of Directors in its reasonable judgment (or, at the election of such Preemptive
Rights Offeree, the delivery of funds necessary to make the purchase into an
escrow account specified by the Holdco Board of Directors pending closing) and,
if not delivered

 

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

promptly following the request by the Holdco Board of Directors (and in any
event no later than the tenth Business Day prior to the scheduled closing date
set forth in the Preemptive Rights Notice), such Preemptive Rights Offeree shall
be not constitute a Purchasing Holder for purposes of the related offering of
New Securities.

 

For purposes of this Section 2.7(a), each Purchasing Holder’s “Pro Rata
Allotment” of the New Securities shall equal:

 

(A) the lesser of (1) the number of New Securities set forth in such Purchasing
Holder’s Preemptive Rights Acceptance Notice and (2) (x) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Units held by such Qualifying Equityholder and the
denominator of which is the total number of Units outstanding on the date of the
Preemptive Rights Notice multiplied by (y) the number of New Securities being
offered,

 

as increased by

 

(B) (1) in the case of Qualifying Creditor Equityholders that exercised their
respective rights under this Section 2.7 to purchase not less than the number of
New Securities set forth in clause (A)(2) of this definition, a pro rata share
(based upon their respective holdings of Units) of the aggregate number of New
Securities the other Qualifying Creditor Equityholders with the right to
participate in such offering of New Securities pursuant to this Section 2.7 have
not elected to purchase that they would have been entitled to purchase under
clause (A)(2) above, up to the number of New Securities set forth in their
respective Preemptive Rights Acceptance Notices, (2) in the case of Qualifying
Equityholders (other than the Qualifying Creditor Equityholders) that exercised
their respective rights under this Section 2.7 to purchase not less than the
number of New Securities set forth in clause (A)(2) of this definition, a pro
rata share (based upon their respective holdings of Units) of the aggregate
number of New Securities the other Qualifying Equityholders have not elected to
purchase that they would have been entitled to purchase under clause
(A)(2) above and, in the case of Qualifying Creditor Equityholders, clause
(B)(1) above, up to the number of New Securities set forth in their respective
Preemptive Rights Acceptance Notices, and (3) in the case of Qualifying
Equityholders that have exercised their rights to purchase not less than all of
the New Securities they have the right to purchase under the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.7, they shall also have the right to purchase a pro
rata share (based upon their respective holdings of Units) of all New Securities
not otherwise purchased pursuant to such foregoing provisions, up to the number
of New Securities set forth in their respective Preemptive Rights Acceptance
Notices.

 

(C) In the case of a Purchasing Holder that is a Qualifying Creditor
Equityholder, any purchase of Holdco Equity Interests pursuant to this
Section 2.7 shall be made by such Qualifying Creditor Equityholder by investing
the related purchase price in its Blockerco and causing or instructing such
Blockerco to purchase such Holdco Equity Interests in accordance with this
Section 2.7.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to purchase the New
Securities shall be inapplicable with respect to any issuance or proposed
issuance by Holdco of (i) any

 

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Units issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, (ii) pursuant to the
Initial Public Offering, (iii) in connection with any Unit split, dividend,
combination, recapitalization or similar transaction that is pro rata among the
holders of the applicable class of Units of the applicable Company, (iv) Units
to be issued as all or a portion of the consideration to be paid in an
acquisition of any assets or any Person, which acquisition was approved by a
Supermajority of the Holdco Board of Directors, (v) any Equity Interests issued
to any director, officer or employee of any Company pursuant to any equity
incentive plan or employee benefit plan approved by (A) in the case of Holdco,
the Holdco Board of Directors, and (B) otherwise, the New Propco Board of
Directors or (vi) any Units issued or issuable upon the conversion of a
Convertible Note.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Put Party,
pursuant to the Commitment Agreement, purchases, directly or indirectly, Units
which another Put Party was required but failed to purchase pursuant to the
Commitment Agreement (a “Curative Purchase”), and such Put Party is entitled
consequently pursuant to the Commitment Agreement to reduce its participation in
any subsequent offering of New Securities (a “Reduced Participation Offering”),
and such Put Party satisfies its reduced purchase obligations, if any, in
connection with such Reduced Participation Offering, such Put Party shall,
solely for purposes of determining whether it is eligible to participate in any
subsequent offering of New Securities, be treated as if it purchased in such
Reduced Participation Offering a number of such New Securities equal to the
number applicable to it under clause (A)(2) of the definition of “Pro Rata
Allotment” in connection with such Reduced Participation Offering; provided,
that this paragraph (c) shall apply only to the extent such reduction in
participation in such Reduced Participation Offering is necessary to keep the
total investment of such Put Party, directly or indirectly, in Holdco at the
level (the “Baseline Committed Level”) that would have occurred (consistent with
its obligations under the Commitment Agreement) but for its making of such
Curative Purchase; provided, further, that the rights and privileges of each Put
Party under this Section 2.7(c) shall terminate and be of no further force or
effect at such time as such Put Party no longer requires the same in order to
maintain its total direct or indirect investment in Holdco at the Baseline
Committed Level.

Affiliates, holds at least 10% (or, if New Propco ceases to file such reports,
5%) of the outstanding Units, and its representatives, auditors and regulators,
shall, upon written demand, have the right upon reasonable notice and during the
usual hours for business to have access to personnel, accountants, auditors,
counsel, properties and information of any Company, including the right to
inspect (or, in the case of Deutsche Bank and its Affiliates, to audit) the
books, records, business operations, internal controls and policies of such
Company; provided, however, that (A) with respect to each Holdco Equityholder
that is

 

34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

not a Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), such Holdco Equityholder
has a proper purpose (as defined below) which is set forth in such written
demand, and (B) the foregoing shall not require any Company (I) to disclose any
information of such Company if the disclosure of such information could
reasonably be expected to, based on advice of outside counsel, adversely affect
the Company’s attorney-client privilege, (II) based upon the advice of outside
legal counsel, to violate in any material respect any Gaming Laws or other
applicable laws, or (III) in the case of each Holdco Equityholder that is not a

mean a purpose reasonably related to such Person’s interest as an Equityholder.

 

(b)           The Companies shall provide on a timely basis (i) to any Holdco
Equityholder (other than the Blockercos) that, together with its Controlled
Affiliates, collectively own at least 10% of the outstanding Units as to which

Section 2.11           Issuance of Holdco Equity Interests to Foreign Persons. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Holdco may not issue any Equity
Interest to any person who is not a “United States person,” as such term is

as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Section 2.12           Tax Classification.  Except for an issuance of an Equity
Interest pursuant to a registered public offering, no Equity Interest may be

have, or be deemed to have, more than 80 partners for purposes of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii).

 

Section 2.13           Observer Rights.

 

(a)           For so long as the Original Qualifying Creditor Equityholders
continue to hold, directly or indirectly through a Blockerco, a number of Units
equal to at least 50% of the number of Units directly or indirectly held by the
Original Qualifying Creditor Equityholders as of the Effective Date, a Majority
of the Qualifying Creditor Equityholders shall have the right to appoint one
Observer to the Board of Directors of Holdco in accordance with the following:

 

(i)            A Majority of the Qualifying Creditor Equityholders shall submit
to the Board of Directors of Holdco for its consideration a list of no fewer
than three candidates (the “Candidate List”) to serve as the Observer, it being
understood and agreed that such Majority of the Qualifying Creditor
Equityholders shall include on the Candidate List only candidates who they
reasonably believe the Board of Directors of Holdco will consider to be
acceptable.  Each candidate included on the Candidate List shall (A) not be an
Affiliate of any Competitor, (B) be independent of Holdco within the meaning of
Rule 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual or successor
provision and without a direct or indirect material relationship with any of the

contravening any applicable laws or regulations, including Gaming Laws.

 

(ii)           The Board of Directors of Holdco shall use its reasonable efforts
to screen the candidates appearing on the Candidate List (which screening shall

processes as the Board of Directors of Holdco shall determine in its reasonable
discretion) within 45 days following the submission of the Candidate List to the
Board of Directors of Holdco by such Majority of the Qualifying Creditor
Equityholders; provided, that such Qualifying Creditor Equityholders and the
candidates whose names appear on the Candidate List promptly comply with the
reasonable requests made by the Board of Directors of Holdco in accordance with

exercise, in the event that the Board of Directors of Holdco determines in its
sole discretion that any one or more of the screened candidates appearing on the
Candidate List is acceptable to it, the Board of Directors of Holdco shall so
advise such Majority of the Qualifying Creditor Equityholders, whereupon such
Majority of the Qualifying Creditor Equityholders shall

 

37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

be entitled to exercise the right to appoint an Observer under this paragraph
(a) with respect to any such screened candidate that the Board of Directors of
Holdco has determined to be acceptable.

 

(iv)          In the event that the Board of Directors of Holdco determines in
its sole discretion not to approve any candidate appearing on the Candidate

Equityholders shall thereafter supplement such Candidate List with additional
candidates who satisfy the requirements set forth in subparagraph (i) above and
resubmit the same to the Board of Directors of Holdco for screening in
accordance with subparagraph (ii) above.

 

(v)           The Board of Directors of Holdco and the Qualifying Creditor
Equityholders shall use their respective reasonable efforts to promptly complete
the actions contemplated to be undertaken by each of them pursuant to this
paragraph (a) in order to meet the timeframes set forth in subparagraph
(ii) above and in order that the designation of an Observer pursuant to this
paragraph (a) be completed within 90 days following the date on which the Board
of Directors of Holdco receives the initial Candidate List.  It is understood
and agreed that the Board of Director’s exercise of its sole discretion as
provided for in this paragraph (a) shall be carried out in good faith.

 

(vi)          In the event that the Qualifying Creditor Equityholders do not
maintain ownership specified in this paragraph (a), such Observer shall no
longer constitute an Observer and shall be automatically removed.

 

In the event that the Observer appointed pursuant to this paragraph (a) resigns
or is removed from such status and the Original Qualifying Creditor
Equityholders continue to hold, directly or indirectly through Blockercos, a
number of Units equal to at least 50% of the number of Units directly or
indirectly through Blockercos held by the Original Qualifying Creditor
Equityholders as of the Effective Date, then a Majority of the Qualifying
Creditor Equityholders shall be entitled to exercise the rights granted pursuant
to this paragraph (a) in the manner specified above in order to replace such
Observer.

 

(b)           For so long as no DB Director on the Holdco Board of Directors is
an officer or employee of Deutsche Bank or any Controlled Affiliate, a Majority
of the DB Designated Equityholders shall have the right to appoint, remove and
replace two Observers to the Holdco Board of Directors.  At any time a Majority
of the DB Designated Equityholders no longer have the right to appoint Observers
pursuant to this paragraph (b), such Observers shall no longer constitute
Observers and shall be automatically removed.

 

(c)           For so long as no DB Director on the Voteco Board of Directors,
the New Propco Board of Directors or Sub Board is an officer or employee of
Deutsche Bank or any Controlled Affiliate, a Majority of the DB Designated
Equityholders shall have the right to appoint, remove and replace two Observers
to the respective Board of Directors or Sub Board.  At any time a Majority of
the DB Designated Equityholders no longer have the right to appoint Observers
pursuant to this paragraph (c), such Observers shall no longer constitute
Observers and shall be automatically removed.

 

38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(d)           For so long as no JPM Director on the Holdco Board of Directors is
an officer or employee of JPMorgan Chase Bank or any Controlled Affiliate, a
Majority of the JPM Designated Equityholders shall have the right to appoint,
remove and replace one Observer to the Holdco Board of Directors.  At any time a
Majority of the JPM Designated Equityholders no longer have the right to appoint
an Observer pursuant to this paragraph (d), such Observer shall no longer
constitute an Observer and shall be automatically removed.

 

(e)           For so long as no JPM Director on the Voteco Board of Directors,
the New Propco Board of Directors or Sub Board is an officer or employee of
JPMorgan Chase Bank or any Controlled Affiliate, a Majority of the JPM
Designated Equityholders shall have the right to appoint, remove and replace one
Observer to the respective Board of Directors or Sub Board.  At any time a
Majority of the JPM Designated Equityholders no longer have the right to appoint
an Observer pursuant to this paragraph (e), such Observer shall no longer
constitute an Observer and shall be automatically removed.

 

(f)            Each Observer shall be entitled to receive prior notice at
substantially the same time such notice is given to the members of the
applicable Board of Directors or Sub Board of any proposed action (including any
proposed action by written consent) by each Board of Directors or Sub Board as
to which it is entitled to Observer status, and to receive notice of any meeting
of such Board of Directors or Sub Board (including telephonic or teleconferenced
meetings) substantially concurrently with any notice given to the members of
such Board of Directors or such Sub Board.  Each Observer shall have the right
to attend in person or by conference call and participate in all meetings of
each Board of Directors and Sub Board to which it is entitled to Observer status
(and any committee thereof) and to receive all materials distributed for or at
any such meeting (including any meeting agenda or board package in the event
such materials are prepared) and all other information and materials distributed
to members of the applicable Board of Directors, Sub Board or committee, in each

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Transfer of Equity
Interests or Debt Interests in any Blockerco or Permitted Leverage Vehicle shall

Equityholder treated as a C corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
(B) the restrictions described in Sections 3.2(h), (i) and (l) shall not apply

described in Section 3.5 shall not apply to any Transfer of Debt Interests.

 

Section 3.4             Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)           Prior to making any Transfer (other than pursuant to a Permitted
Transfer or a Permitted ROFR Increase) of all or any portion of its Equity
Interests in Holdco (the “Subject Interest”), a Holdco Equityholder (the
“Offering Member”) shall deliver to each Founding Equityholder (other than the
Offering Member) and each Qualifying Creditor Equityholder that, together with
its Controlled Affiliates, owns, directly or indirectly, not less than 2.5% of
the outstanding Units (each such Qualifying Creditor Equityholder, together with
its Controlled Affiliates, a “2.5% Qualifying Creditor Equityholder”), in each
case other than any Tag Seller that timely delivered its Acceptance Notice in
respect of such sale (each, an “Offeree”) a letter (the “Offer Letter”) signed
by such Offering Member setting forth:

 

(i)            the Subject Interest subject to such Transfer (which Subject
Interest shall include, in the case of a Transfer that constitutes a Tag Sale,
the Units of the Selling Member and each Tag Seller to be included in such Tag
Sale);

 

(ii)           the prospective purchase price per Unit (or Unit underlying any
Warrant) for the Subject Interest;

 

(iii)          such Offering Member’s offer, irrevocable by its terms for 30
days following the delivery of the Offer Letter or, in the case of a Transfer
that constitutes a Tag Sale, until the 15th day following the Expiration Date
(such period, the “Offer Period”), to sell to the Offeree up to such Offeree’s
ROFR Pro Rata Share of the Subject Interest, for a purchase price per Unit (or
Unit underlying any Warrant) equal to the purchase price per Unit (or Unit
underlying any Warrant) set forth in such Offer Letter (the “Offer”); and

 

(iv)          closing arrangements and, to the extent such date is determinable,
an estimated closing date (provided, that the actual closing date may differ
from the estimated closing date) for any purchase and sale that may be effected
by the Offeree pursuant to this Section 3.4.

 

The Offer Letter shall be given no later than 30 days after the date that any
required Tag-Along Notice relating thereto shall have been given.

 

(b)           During the Offer Period, each Offeree shall have the right to
notify the Offering Member in writing that such Offeree has elected to purchase
all or any portion of the

 

47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Subject Interest for the same price per Unit (or Unit underlying any Warrant)
set forth in the Offer by delivering a notice (the “ROFR Notice”) in the form
reasonably prescribed by the Offering Member in the Offer Letter, which ROFR
Notice shall constitute a binding legal commitment to purchase and which ROFR
Notice shall set forth the maximum portion of the Subject Interest such Offeree
wishes to purchase.  Any such Offeree that provides a ROFR Notice is hereinafter
referred to as a “Purchasing Offeree.”  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Offering Member determines in its reasonable judgment that any Purchasing
Offeree that delivers a ROFR Notice pursuant to this Section 3.4 is not
creditworthy (it being understood that each Purchasing Offeree shall be required
to deliver information as to its creditworthiness as reasonably requested by the
Offering Member), the Offering Member may require such Purchasing Offeree to
deliver a written commitment for its purchase in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Offering Member from another entity determined to be
creditworthy by the Offering Member in its reasonable judgment (or at the
election of Purchasing Offeree, the delivery of funds necessary to make the
purchase into an escrow account specified by the Offering Member pending
closing) and, if not delivered promptly after the request by the Offering Member
(and, in no event later than the tenth Business Day prior to the estimated
closing date set forth in the Offer Letter) such Person shall not constitute a
Purchasing Offeree for purposes of the sale by the Offering Member and any
related sellers under Section 3.5.  Furthermore, the Offering Member shall have
the right to require any Purchasing Offeree whose purchase will require any
approval or other action under any applicable Gaming Law to place a gaming
deposit, not later than ten Business Days after the request is made by the
Offering Member, equal to 5% of the contemplated purchase price into an escrow
specified by the Offering Member, which deposit will be forfeited if the
approval or other action is not given or received within the time necessary to
close the contemplated purchase as scheduled.

 

For purposes of this Section 3.4, a Purchasing Offeree’s “ROFR Pro Rata Share”
of the Subject Interest shall equal:

 

(A) the lesser of (1) the portion of the Subject Interest set forth in such
Purchasing Offeree’s ROFR Notice and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the Units held directly or indirectly by such Purchasing Offeree and the
denominator of which is the total number of Units outstanding on the date of the
Offer Letter,

 

as increased by

 

(B) (1) in the case of Purchasing Offerees that are Qualifying Creditor
Equityholders that exercised their respective rights under this Section 3.4 to
purchase not less than the portion of the Subject Interest set forth in clause
(A)(2) of this definition, a pro rata share (based upon their respective
holdings of Units) of the Subject Interest the other Qualifying Creditor
Equityholders that are Offerees have not elected to purchase that they would
have been entitled to purchase under clause (A)(2) above, up to the portion of
the Subject Interest set forth in their respective notices to the Offering
Member, (2) in the case of Purchasing Offerees (other than the Qualifying
Creditor Equityholders) that exercised their respective rights under this
Section 3.4 to purchase not less than the portion of the Subject Interest set
forth in clause (A)(2) of this definition, a pro rata share (based upon their
respective holdings of Units) of the Subject Interest the other Offerees (other
than the Qualifying Creditor Equityholders) have not elected to

 

48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

purchase that they would have been entitled to purchase under clause
(A)(2) above, up to the portion of the Subject Interest set forth in their
respective ROFR Notices, and (3) in the case of Purchasing Offerees that have
exercised their rights to purchase all of the Subject Interest they have the
right to purchase under the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4, a pro rata
share (based upon their respective holdings of Units) of all of the Subject
Interest not otherwise purchased pursuant to such foregoing provisions, up to
the portion of the Subject Interest set forth in their respective ROFR Notices.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, if
the Purchasing Offerees have elected to purchase less than all of the Subject
Interest, (i) the Subject Interest may be increased at the election of the
Offering Member without any requirement of further notice hereunder or under
Section 3.5 (a “Permitted ROFR Increase”) to the lesser of (x) the aggregate
Subject Interests offered pursuant to this Section 3.4 and (y) the amount
necessary to cause the Subject Interest to be increased to 10% of the
outstanding Units, which increase shall be apportioned on a pro rata basis
(based on number of Units held by each but subject to the maximum number
specified in their respective Acceptance Notices delivered pursuant to
Section 3.5) among the Offering Members and, if applicable, the Tag Sellers up
to the number of Units set forth in each such Tag Seller’s Acceptance Notice,
and (ii) unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Offering Member, the purchase
of a portion of the Subject Interest by the Purchasing Offerees may only be made
to the extent the Offering Member would not, following the sale of such portion
to the Purchasing Offerees pursuant to this Section 3.4, hold less than 10% of
the outstanding Units following consummation of the sales of the Subject
Interest in accordance with this Section 3.4 after giving effect to any
Permitted ROFR Increase.

 

(d)           Upon the expiration of the Offer Period, to the extent the
Offerees elect to not exercise the right of first refusal in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3.4 or the Purchasing Offerees have not elected to
purchase all of the Subject Interest offered and such purchase is not permitted
under Section 3.4(c)(i), the Offering Member may, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.2, sell all or any portion of such Subject Interest for not less than
95% of the purchase price per Unit (or Unit underlying any Warrant) contained in
such Offer.  Prior to consummating any such sale, the Offering Member shall,
upon request from any Offeree or Holdco, provide the requesting party with
reasonable supporting documentation with respect to the price per Unit (or Unit
underlying any Warrant) of any such sale so as to demonstrate such Offering
Member’s compliance with the provisions of the preceding sentence.  With respect
to any such remaining Subject Interest for which (i) the Offering Member has not
entered into a definitive agreement to effect a sale thereof by the date six
months after the expiration of the Offer Period or (ii) a sale has not been
consummated by the date nine months after the entry into a definitive agreement
by the Offering Member to consummate the sale of such Subject Interest (with
such nine-month period being subject to reasonable extensions in order to
procure any required Gaming Licenses or other regulatory approvals being
diligently pursued in good faith), such Subject Interest may not thereafter be
sold by such Offering Member unless the procedures set forth in this Section 3.4
shall have again been complied with.

 

(e)           If the Purchasing Offerees accept in writing the Offer to purchase
all or, to the extent permitted under Section 3.4(c), a portion of the Subject
Interest, the closing of the purchase and sale pursuant to such acceptance shall
take place at the offices of Holdco on the date set forth in the Offer Letter,
or at such other place or on such other date as the applicable

 

49

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

parties may agree or such later date as may be necessary to obtain any Gaming
Licenses and other regulatory approvals under applicable Gaming Laws; provided,
that in no event will the closing take place later than nine months after the
expiration of the Offer Period and such reasonable extensions as the seller and
the Purchasing Offerees agree in order to procure such licenses and approvals. 
In connection with such purchase and sale, each party shall execute and deliver
all agreements, certificates and other documentation reasonably requested by the
other party, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of the
parties to effect the purchase of the Subject Interest hereunder, and the
Offering Member shall execute and deliver certificates representing the Subject
Interest duly endorsed for transfer.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Offering Member shall not (i) be required to make any
representations or warranties in connection with the sale other than (A) the
existence and good standing (if applicable) of the Offering Member, (B) due
authorization of the sale of the Subject Interest, (C) ownership of the Subject
Interest being sold and (D) no conflicts with the Organizational Documents of
the Offering Member, material contracts to which the Offering Member or its
Affiliates are a party to or bound by and laws to which the Offering Member and
its Affiliates are subject or (ii) be required to agree to any ongoing covenants
other than indemnification for breaches of the foregoing representations by such
Offering Member.

 

(f)            In the case of an Offering Member that is a Qualifying Creditor
Equityholder, the Subject Interest offered to Offerees pursuant to this
Section 3.4 may be either Equity Interests in the Blockerco through which such
Offering Member invests or Holdco Equity Interests held by such Blockerco;
provided, that except as otherwise permitted under Section 3.5(c)(vi) in the
case of a Tag Sale, the Subject Interest (or portion thereof) sold by such
Offering Member to the Purchasing Offerees or pursuant to Section 3.4(d) must be
the same Equity Interests (i.e., Blockerco Equity Interests or Holdco Equity
Interests) offered to the Offerees.  In the case of a Purchasing Offeree that is
a Qualifying Creditor Equityholder, any purchase of Holdco Equity Interest
pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be made by such Qualifying Creditor
Equityholder by investing the related purchase price in its Blockerco and
causing or instructing such Blockerco to purchase such Holdco Equity Interests
in accordance with this Section 3.4.

 

Section 3.5             Tag-Along Rights.

 

(a)           Prior to making any Transfer of Units representing at least 10.5%
of the outstanding Units by one or more Holdco Equityholders in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions (collectively, the “Selling
Member”), in each case other than pursuant to (x) any Transfer of Equity
Interests in Holdco by a Blockerco solely to fund an amount equal to the
difference between the taxes payable by such Blockerco and the cash
distributions made by Holdco to such Blockerco with respect to such taxes, (y) a
Permitted Transfer or (z) a Permitted ROFR Increase (each, a “Tag Sale”), such
Selling Member shall provide to each other Qualifying Equityholder (each, a “Tag
Seller”) a written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) setting forth in reasonable
detail (i) the Units subject to such Transfer (the “Tag-Along Units”), (ii) the
prospective purchase price per Unit for the Tag-Along Units (the “Tag-Along
Purchase Price”), and (iii) the portion (represented as a percentage) of the
outstanding Units represented by such Tag-Along Units (the “Tag-Along
Portion”).  For purposes of this paragraph (a), Transfers made at least three
months apart shall be deemed not to be related transactions.

 

50

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)           Each Tag Seller shall have the right to elect to participate in
the Tag Sale at the price set forth in such Tag-Along Notice by providing
written notice (an “Acceptance Notice”) to the Selling Member made within 15
days after the day such Tag-Along Notice is delivered to such Tag Seller (such
15th day, the “Expiration Date”), which Acceptance Notice shall include the
maximum number of its Units which such Tag Seller desires to Transfer in such
Tag Sale.  Upon delivery of an Acceptance Notice, such Tag Seller shall be
obligated to participate in such Tag Sale in respect of its Tag Pro Rata Share;
provided, that such Tag Sale complies with the provisions of this Section 3.5.

 

For purposes hereof, “Tag Pro Rata Share” means, subject to reductions as
provided in paragraph (c)(v), a number of Units equal to  (i) the Tag-Along
Portion multiplied by (ii) the number of Units held directly or indirectly by
such Tag Seller, and, in the case of Qualifying Creditor Equityholders that
timely delivered an Acceptance Notice, as increased by a pro rata share (based
upon their respective holdings of Units) of (x) the aggregate number of Units
held by all Qualifying Creditor Equityholders that did not timely deliver
Acceptance Notices multiplied by (y) the Tag-Along Portion, in each case up to
the number of Units set forth in each such Tag Seller’s Acceptance Notice.

 

(c)           The Selling Member shall have until the end of the nine-month
period specified in Section 3.4(d), subject to extensions provided for therein,
to consummate such Tag Sale, which Tag Sale shall be required to comply with the
following:

 

(i)            such Tag Sale shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.4;

 

(ii)           the purchase price per Unit shall be not less than 95% of the
Tag-Along Purchase Price;

 

(iii)          upon the consummation of such Tag Sale, the Selling Member and
each Tag Seller shall receive the same form of consideration or the same option
as described in clause (iv) below with respect to its Units;

 

(iv)          if the Selling Member or any Tag Seller is given an option as to
the form of consideration to be received with respect to its Units, each Tag
Seller shall be given the same option;

 

(v)           to the extent the sum of the Tag-Along Units and the Tag Pro Rata
Share of the Tag Sellers that timely delivered an Acceptance Notice is greater
than the aggregate number of Units to be sold in the Tag Sale, the number of
Units constituting the Tag-Along Units and the Tag Pro Rata Share of each Tag
Seller shall be proportionately reduced; and

 

(vi)          in the case of Qualifying Creditor Equityholders that timely
deliver an Acceptance Notice, Tag Sales by such Qualifying Creditor Equityholder
shall be consummated by the Blockerco through which each such Qualifying
Creditor Equityholder invests; provided, however, that (A) if requested in
writing prior to the Expiration Date by Qualifying Creditor Equityholders
representing a majority of the Tag Pro Rata Shares of all such Qualifying
Creditor Equityholders, the Selling Member shall request potential buyers in the
Tag Sale to quote, if such buyers are willing to do so, a

 

51

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

price at which such buyers would buy Equity Interests in Blockerco representing
the Units to be included in the Tag Sale by such Qualifying Creditor
Equityholders and (B) if the buyer or buyers in the Tag Sale shall have agreed
to purchase, and such majority of Qualifying Creditor Equityholders shall have
agreed to sell, Equity Interests in one or more Blockercos in lieu of Units, at
not less than 95% of the purchase price originally quoted for such Equity
Interests in the Blockercos, the Tag Sale by such Qualifying Creditor
Equityholders shall be consummated as a sale of Equity Interests in Blockercos.

 

(d)           Each Tag Seller which has exercised its right to participate in
the Tag Sale (and its successors, heirs, legal representatives, and permitted
assigns, transferees and, as applicable, the Blockerco through which such Tag
Seller invests) hereby (i) irrevocably appoints the Selling Member, or any
Person designated by the Selling Member in the Tag-Along Notice, as agent and
attorney-in-fact (the “Tag-Along Agents”) to execute all agreements, instruments
and certificates and take all actions necessary or desirable to effectuate any
Tag Sale as contemplated under this Section 3.5 and (ii) shall deliver to the
Selling Member for delivery to the buyers one or more instruments or
certificates, properly endorsed for Transfer, free and clear of all liens
whatsoever, representing their respective Tag Pro Rata Shares.

 

(e)           Each Tag Seller shall take all actions which the Selling Member
deems reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate such transaction,
including (i) entering into agreements with third parties which may include
representations, indemnities, holdbacks and escrows; provided, that such
agreements are on terms substantially identical or more favorable to the Tag
Seller than those agreed to by the Selling Member; provided, further, that no
Tag Seller shall be liable in respect of any indemnification obligation pursuant
to any Tag Sale in excess of the total consideration (net of broker fees and
other selling expenses) paid to such Tag Seller in such Tag Sale; and
(ii) obtaining all consents and approvals reasonably necessary or desirable to
consummate such Tag Sale.  The Tag Seller and the Selling Member shall each pay
its pro rata share (based upon the portion of the proceeds from the Tag Sale to
which each is entitled) of any reasonable transaction costs incurred by the
Selling Member associated with the sale.  No Tag Seller shall be required to
agree to any ongoing covenants or restrictions other than reasonable
confidentiality provisions.

otherwise impede consummation of the Approved Sale.

 

(b)           If the Approved Sale is structured as (i) a merger or

Approved Sale, including reasonably cooperating at the Companies’ expense to

the provisions of this Section 4.1, require a Required Seller to enter into
agreements with customary representations, indemnities, holdbacks and escrows). 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) the only
representations, warranties or covenants that a Required Seller shall be
required to make are with respect to itself as to its title to and ownership of

of relevant agreements against such Required Seller, absence of conflicts with

covenants described above in clause (A); and (C) to the extent that an
indemnification escrow has been established, such liability shall be satisfied
solely out of any funds escrowed for such purpose prior to recourse against such
Required Seller.

with respect to an Approved Sale are subject to the satisfaction of the

such Required Seller shall receive in respect of its Units the same form of
consideration or the same option as described in clause (ii) below with respect

exercisable warrants, options, securities or instruments exercisable for, or
rights to acquire, Units shall be given an opportunity to exercise such
warrants, options, securities, instruments or rights prior to the consummation
of the Approved Sale and participate in such sale as holders of Units, and each
outstanding warrant, option, security or instrument exercisable for, or right to

in the Sale of Holdco minus the relevant per Unit exercise price, and (iv) each
holder of a debt instrument convertible into Equity Interests may elect not to
participate in such Approved Sale and instead continue to hold such debt
instrument; provided, that, upon consummation of the Approved Sale, such holder
shall agree to modify such debt instrument so that upon consummation of such
sale, such instrument is no longer convertible into Equity Interests.  Provided
that the conditions of this Section 4.1 are satisfied, the Voteco Equityholders
shall, if required by the Approved Sale, transfer their Equity Interests in
Voteco to the buyer or its designated Affiliates for no or nominal
consideration.

 

(d)           The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall apply regardless of the
form of consideration received in the Approved Sale.

 

(e)           No Required Seller shall bear more than its pro rata share (based
on the portion of the consideration received in such Approved Sale to which such
Required Seller is entitled) of the costs incurred pursuant to an Approved Sale
to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all holders of Units
and not paid by a Company or the acquiring party; provided, that no Required
Seller shall be required to make any non de minimis out-of-pocket expenditures
or pay any non pro rata expenses incurred in connection with the Approved Sale
(other than costs incurred, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, by such
Required Seller for its sole benefit).  For purposes of this Section 4.1(e),
costs incurred in exercising reasonable efforts to take all necessary actions in
connection with the consummation of an Approved Sale in accordance with
Section 4.1(a) shall be deemed to be for the benefit of all holders of Units.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any holder of
Units may participate as a potential purchaser or bidder in any Approved Sale on
the same terms and conditions as other potential purchasers and bidders.

 

(g)           In furtherance of the provisions of this Section 4.1, for so long
as this Section 4.1 is in effect, each of the Holdco Equityholders (and their
successors, heirs, legal representatives, and permitted assigns and transferees)

attorney-in-fact (the “Drag-Along Agents”) to execute all agreements,
instruments and certificates and take all actions necessary or desirable to
effectuate any Approved Sale as contemplated under this Section 4.1, and
(ii) grants to the Drag-Along Agents a proxy (which shall be deemed to be
coupled with an interest and to be irrevocable) to vote the Units having voting
power held by such Person and exercise any consent rights applicable thereto in
favor of any such Approved Sale as provided in this Section 4.1; provided,
however, that the Drag-Along Agents shall not exercise such powers-of-attorney
or proxies with respect to any such Person unless such Person refuses or fails
in a timely manner to comply with its obligations under this Section 4.1 and the
exercise of rights under such powers-of-attorney and proxies shall be subject to
all applicable Gaming Laws.  THE AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 4.1 ARE
COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE
REVOKED OR TERMINATED DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.

satisfactory to the Lender Directors relating to Gaming Laws, other material
regulations applicable to their respective businesses and Bank Holding Company

collectively own at least 10% of the outstanding Units) and JPMorgan Chase Bank
and its Affiliates (so long as they collectively own at least 10% of the
outstanding Units) and (b) subject to applicable Gaming Laws, each Equityholder

Qualified Public Offering, Holdco or New Propco shall, subject to applicable
Gaming Laws and the receipt of all required Gaming Licenses, reorganize into a
corporation, whether by conversion into a corporation, merger into a
corporation, having all of the Equityholders contribute their Equity Interests
to a corporation or otherwise (the “Permitted Reorganization”) and the
Equityholders agree to do all things reasonably requested by the New Propco
Board of Directors to effect such Permitted Reorganization.  In the event of a
Permitted Reorganization of Holdco, each Unit shall be converted into shares of
common stock of Newco and options or warrants to purchase Units will be
converted into options or warrants to purchase common stock of Newco with
substantially the same terms as the options or warrants being so converted. 
Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Section 4.3 shall be deemed to
relieve any party of its obligations or modify any party’s rights or
responsibilities under this Agreement.  Unless otherwise approved by a
Supermajority of the Board of Directors of New Propco, the parties shall, in
connection with a Qualified Public Offering use all reasonable efforts to
consummate a Permitted Reorganization and to take all other steps reasonably
necessary to position Newco to be a public company, including adoption of
charter and by-laws appropriate for a public company, listing the stock of Newco

exercise of rights under this Agreement or in connection with a Permitted
Leverage Transaction;

 

(iii)          grant any lien or security interest to any Person or otherwise
encumber its property;

 

(iv)          commence any liquidation, dissolution or voluntary bankruptcy,

form of transaction, any arrangement with creditors, or the consent to entry of
an order for relief in an involuntary case, or the conversion of an involuntary
case to a voluntary case, or the consent to any plan of reorganization in any
involuntary or voluntary case, or the consent to the appointment or taking
possession by a receiver, trustee or other custodian for all or any portion of
its property, or otherwise seek the protection of any applicable bankruptcy or
insolvency law;

 

(v)           amend, modify or supplement, in any material respect, its
Organizational Documents or documents related to Permitted Leverage
Transactions; provided, however, that in the event that an Initial Public
Offering does not occur prior to the five-year anniversary of the Effective
Date, any note evidencing Debt Interests may, on no more than one occasion, be
refinanced by the holder of such note on terms identical to those of, and with
the same holder as, such note (except as otherwise approved by the Supermajority
of the Board of Directors of Holdco), other than a market rate of interest and a
maturity date no later than the five-year anniversary of the date of such
refinancing (it being understood, that any such refinancing shall be considered
a Transfer of such note evidencing any Debt Interests and subject to any
applicable restrictions); or

 

(vi)          in connection with any Permitted Leverage Transaction, no
Permitted Leverage Vehicle shall Transfer the loans referred to in the
definition of “Permitted Leverage Transaction.”

 

(d)           Promptly following execution thereof, each Blockerco and Permitted
Leverage Vehicle shall provide copies of its Organizational Documents, documents
related to Permitted Leverage Transactions and each amendment to any of the
foregoing to Holdco.

 

58

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(e)           Holdco, in its capacity as manager of the Principal Blockercos,
shall provide customary administrative services to the Principal Blockercos
related to preparing reports required to be delivered to the respective holders
of Equity Interests in such Principal Blockercos and facilitating permitted
Warrant exercises and Transfers permitted by the terms of this Agreement and the
Organizational Documents of the Principal Blockercos.  Holdco shall pay or
reimburse the Principal Blockercos for all franchise taxes and other fees, taxes
(excluding taxes based on or measured by income, profits or capital (to the
extent imposed in lieu of or as part of an income tax)) and expenses required to
maintain such Principal Blockercos’ respective limited liability company
existence and, to the extent that Holdco does not provides such services,
customary administrative costs related to preparing reports required to be
delivered to their respective holders of Equity Interests and facilitating
permitted Warrant exercises and Transfers permitted by the terms of this
Agreement and the Organizational Documents of the Principal Blockercos;
provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all such payments for all
Principal Blockercos shall not exceed (i) $250,000 for the 12-month period
beginning as of the first day of the month in which the Effective Date occurred,
and (ii) $100,000 for each 12-month period thereafter.

not effect (i) any subdivision (by Unit split or otherwise) or any combination
(by reverse Unit split or otherwise) of any outstanding Units without effecting
such subdivision or split of all outstanding Units and (ii) any dividend or
distribution in respect of any Holdco Equity Interest that is not pro rata with
respect to all other Holdco Equity Interests within the same class or series.

 

ARTICLE 5.  REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

Section 5.1             Demand Registrations.

 

(a)           Timing of Demand Registrations.  At any time and from time to time
after the 4½-year anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to applicable
Gaming Laws, any Major Holder, acting alone or jointly with other Major Holders
(the “Exercising Holders”), may request registration under the Securities Act (a
“Demand Registration”) of all or any portion of such Major Holders’ Registrable
Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration (a
“Long-Form Registration”) or, if available, on Form S-3 or any similar
short-form registration (a “Short-Form Registration”); provided, however, that
Newco shall not be obligated to (i) effect any Demand Registration that
constitutes the Initial Public Offering pursuant to this Section 5.1 (including
filing a Registration Statement) unless (1) the request for such Demand
Registration shall have been made by Major Holders that include (A) one or more
Fertitta Holders or (B) Non-Fertitta Holders holding a majority of the
Registrable Securities held by all Non-Fertitta Holders and (2) the Initial
Public Offering shall constitute a Qualified Public Offering, or (ii) consummate
such Initial Public Offering prior to the five-year anniversary of the Effective
Date.  Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate
number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered.

 

(b)           Numbers and Allocation of Demand Registrations.

 

(i)            Long-Form Registrations.  The Major Holders shall be entitled to
request no more than four Long-Form Registrations in the aggregate pursuant to
this Section 5.1.

 

59

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(ii)           Short-Form Registrations.  The Major Holders shall be entitled to
request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations pursuant to this
Section 5.1.  Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Registrations whenever
Newco is permitted to use any applicable short form.

 

(c)           Participation.  Within 20 days of the receipt of any request for a
Demand Registration, Newco shall give written notice of such request to all
Holders.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.1 (including
Section 5.1(d)), Newco shall include in such Demand Registration all Registrable
Securities that the Holders request to be registered in a written request from
such Holders received by Newco within 15 days of the mailing of Newco’s notice
pursuant to this Section 5.1(c).  Subject to Section 5.1(d), Newco may include
in such Demand Registration securities for sale for its own account or for the
account of other security holders.  In connection with the Demand Registration
that constitutes the Initial Public Offering, either (i) Fertitta Holders that
own a majority of the Units held by Fertitta Equityholders, or (ii) Bank
Equityholders that own a majority of the Units held by Non-Fertitta
Equityholders, may require Newco to issue and sell Capital Stock in such
registration constituting, after giving effect to such sale and issuance, up to
15% of its outstanding Capital Stock (such Capital Stock as so requested, the
“Primary Shares”).

 

(d)           Priority on Demand Registrations.  Newco shall not include in any
Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities of a
Holder without the prior written consent of the Exercising Holder(s).  If a
Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters
advise Newco in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable
Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be
included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other
securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering
within a price range acceptable to the Exercising Holder(s), Newco shall include
in such Demand Registration (i) first, the Primary Shares; (ii) second, the
Registrable Securities of the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of
Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Holders in such Demand
Registration; (iii) third, shares of Newco that are not Primary Shares; and
(iv) fourth, if permitted hereunder, any other securities requested to be
included in such Demand Registration which securities, in the opinion of such
underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such
offering; provided, that, in the event the Holders are not permitted as a result
of such underwriter’s advice to include at least 90% of the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration by such Holders, then
such request and related registration shall not constitute one of the Demand
Registrations to which the Major Holders are entitled to request pursuant to
Section 5.1(b).

 

(e)           Shelf Registration.   In the event that the Exercising
Holder(s) indicate in the request for a Demand Registration that such Demand
Registration is to be made on a Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act, Newco shall, notwithstanding Sections 5.3(a) and
5.3(k), keep such shelf Registration Statement continuously effective (and
supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 5.3) to the
extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Registrable
Securities included in such registration, and to ensure that it conforms with
the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies,
rules and regulations of the SEC as announced from time to time, from the
effective date of such Registration Statement until the earlier of (x) 24 months
from such effective date, (y) the date all

 

60

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold in
the manner set forth and as contemplated in such Registration Statement and
(z) the date on which all Registrable Securities may be sold without
registration and without compliance with the volume, public information, notice
filing or other requirements pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

 

(f)            Restrictions on Demand Registrations.  Newco shall not be
obligated to effect any Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 5.1
(including filing a Registration Statement) within three months after the
effective date of a previous registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 or a
previous registration under which the Holders had piggyback rights pursuant to
Section 5.2 hereof (irrespective of whether such rights were exercised).  Newco
may postpone for up to two months the filing or the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement for a Demand Registration if, based on the good-faith
judgment of Newco’s Board of Directors (after consultation with its legal and
financial advisors), such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by Newco or any of its
Subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary
course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization,
joint venture or other transaction material to the business of Newco, as
determined by the Board of Directors of Newco in its good-faith reasonable
judgment; provided, that in such event, the Exercising Holders(s) initially
requesting such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request
and, if such request is withdrawn, such Exercising Holder(s) shall retain their
rights pursuant to this Section 5.1 as if the request for such Demand
Registration was not made and any related registration shall not count as one of
the permitted Demand Registrations of the Major Holders under this Section 5.1
and Newco shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such
registration.  Newco shall provide written notice to the Holders of (x) any
postponement or withdrawal of the filing or effectiveness of a Registration
Statement pursuant to this Section 5.1(f), (y) Newco’s decision to file or seek
effectiveness of such Registration Statement following such withdrawal or
postponement and (z) the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

 

Section 5.2             Piggyback Registrations.

 

(a)           Piggyback Rights.  If (but without any obligation to do so) Newco
proposes to register, whether or not for its own account, any Capital Stock in
Newco in connection with the public offering for cash of such securities (but
excluding any (i) registration made pursuant to Section 5.1, (ii) registration
relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company sponsored
benefit plan on Form S-1 or Form S-8 under the Securities Act or similar forms
that may be promulgated under the Securities Act in the future and
(iii) registration relating to a corporate reorganization, acquisition or other
transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act on Form S-4 under the
Securities Act or similar forms that may be promulgated under the Securities Act
in the future), Newco shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written
notice of such registration.  Upon the written request of each Holder given in
writing to Newco within 15 days after receipt of such notice by Newco, Newco
shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.2, include in the
Registration Statement all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder
has requested to be registered.

 

(b)           Right to Terminate Registration.  Newco shall have the right to
terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 5.2
prior to the effectiveness of

 

61

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

such registration and the commencement of the public offer of the securities
covered by such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include
securities in such registration.  The expenses of such withdrawn registration
shall be borne by Newco in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof.  Any such
withdrawal shall be without prejudice to the rights of any Holder to request
that a registration be effected under Section 5.1 or to be included in
subsequent registrations under Section 5.2(a).

 

(c)           Underwriting Requirements.  In connection with any offering
involving an underwriting of shares of common stock for the benefit of Newco or
any security holder of Newco, Newco shall not be required under this Section 5.2
to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting
pursuant to this Section 5.2 unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as
agreed upon between Newco and the underwriters selected by it and enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters
selected by Newco.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2, if
the managing underwriters with respect to the proposed offering advise Newco in
writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included
in such registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such
offering without being likely to have a material adverse effect on the offering
of securities as then contemplated (including a material adverse effect on the
price at which it is proposed to sell the securities), then Newco shall so
advise all holders of securities that would otherwise be included in such
registration, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration
shall be allocated:  (A) first, to securities being sold for the account of
Newco, (B) second, pro rata among the Holders electing to participate in such
registration in accordance with this Section 5.2 according to the total amount
of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration and
(C) last, pro rata among the other selling security holders of Newco according
to the total amount of securities requested to be included in such registration.

 

(d)           Selection of Underwriters.  Subject to compliance with
Section 2.3, Newco shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or
underwriters to administer any offering pursuant to this Section 5.2.

 

Section 5.3             Obligations of Newco.  Whenever required under this
Article 5 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, Newco shall,
as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(a)           prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to become effective, and, subject to Section 5.1(e), keep
such Registration Statement effective for a period of up to 180 days or, if
earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has
been completed;

 

(b)           prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to
such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to disposition of all securities covered by such Registration
Statement for the period set forth in paragraph (a) above or Section 5.1(e), as
applicable;

 

62

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(c)           furnish to each selling Holder and their counsel selected in
accordance with Section 5.5 copies of all documents proposed to be filed with
the SEC in connection with such registration, which documents will be provided
to such counsel and each selling Holder prior to the filing thereof;

 

(d)           furnish to the selling Holders, without charge, such number of
(i) conformed copies of the Registration Statement and of each amendment or
supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits and documents filed
therewith), and (ii) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration
Statement, including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other
documents, in each case, as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of Registrable Securities held by them in accordance with the
intended method or methods of such disposition;

 

(e)           in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing underwriters of such offering and enter into such other
agreements and take such other actions in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities, including preparing for, and
participating in, “road shows” and all other customary selling efforts, all as
the underwriters reasonably request;

 

(f)            notify each selling Holder covered by such Registration
Statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act, of (i) the issuance or, to its knowledge,
threatened issuance of any stop order by the SEC in respect of such Registration
Statement (and use every reasonable effort to prevent the entry of such stop
order or obtain the lifting of any such stop order at the earliest possible
moment), (ii) any period when the Registration Statement ceases to be effective,
or (iii) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included
in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light
of the circumstances then existing, and, as promptly as is practicable, prepare
and furnish to such selling Holder a reasonable number of copies of any
supplement to or amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall
not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

 

(g)           cause all such Registrable Securities registered hereunder to be
listed on each securities exchange or any automated quotation system on which
similar securities issued by Newco are then listed or, if not so listed, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities registered
hereunder to be listed on a securities exchange or any automated quotation
system selected by the Board of Directors;

 

(h)           enter into reasonable “lock-up” agreements restricting Newco’s
right to issue or sell the Equity Interests or any rights or derivative
contracts with respect thereto for a period not to exceed 180 days from the
effective date of the Registration Statement relating to an underwritten public
offering, plus any applicable extension of such period as may be provided

 

63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

for in a customary “booster shot” provision provided for in such lock-up
agreement, which extends such time period under certain circumstances; provided,
that for any subsequent offerings, the lock-up period shall be reduced to be a
maximum of 90 days, plus any applicable extension of such period as may be
provided for in a customary “booster shot” provision provided for in such
lock-up agreement, which extends such time period under certain circumstances;

 

(i)            provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable
Securities registered pursuant hereto and a CUSIP number for all such
Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such
registration;

 

(j)            use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky
laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as shall be reasonably requested
by the selling Holders and such other jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the managing underwriters (or obtain an exemption from registration
or qualification under such laws) and do any and all other acts and things which
may be necessary or advisable to enable such selling Holders to consummate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions in accordance
with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof; provided, however,
that Newco shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to qualify to do business, where not otherwise required, or to file a
general consent to service of process or become subject to taxation in any such
states or jurisdictions;

 

(k)           use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other
Governmental Authorities, including the Gaming Authorities, as may be necessary
by virtue of the business and operations of Newco and its Subsidiaries to enable
each selling Holder thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition
thereof;

 

(l)            otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as
soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement of Newco (in form
complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering,
subject to Section 5.1(e), the period of at least 12 months, but not more than
18 months, beginning with the first month after the effective date of the
Registration Statement; and

 

(m)          use its best efforts to take all other reasonable and customary
steps typically taken by issuers to effect the registration and disposition of
such Registrable Securities as contemplated hereby.

 

Section 5.4             Obligations of Holder.

 

(a)           Information from Holder.  It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of Newco to take any action pursuant to this Article 5 with respect
to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall,
within ten Business Days of a request by Newco, furnish to Newco such
information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it,

 

64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably
required by Newco to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities.

 

(b)           Participation in Underwritten Registrations.  No Holder may
participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such
Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s securities on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements approved by the Person(s) entitled hereunder to
approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

(c)           Each Holder shall enter into reasonable “lock-up” agreements
restricting such Holder’s right to transfer the Equity Interests or any rights
or derivative contracts with respect thereto for a period not to exceed 180 days
from the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to an
underwritten public offering, plus any applicable extension of such period as
may be provided for in a customary “booster shot” provision provided for in such
lock-up agreement, which extends such time period under certain circumstances;
provided, that for any subsequent offerings, the lock-up period shall be reduced
to be a maximum of 90 days, plus any applicable extension of such period as may
be provided for in a customary “booster shot” provision provided for in such
lock-up agreement, which extends such time period under certain circumstances.

 

Section 5.5             Expenses of Registration.  All expenses (other than
underwriting discounts and commissions) incurred in connection with
registrations pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, including all registration,
filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and
disbursements of counsel for Newco, all independent certified public
accountants, underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions) and other
Persons retained by Newco and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one
counsel for the selling Holders selected by Holders holding a majority of the
Registrable Securities being sold in such offering included in such registration
(collectively, “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by Newco.

 

Section 5.6             Indemnification.  In the event any Registrable
Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Article 5:

 

(a)           To the fullest extent permitted by law, Newco will indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, managers, officers and
directors of each Holder, each Observer, any underwriter (as defined in the
Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls such
Holder or underwriter, within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (joint or
several) (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof), to which
they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
federal, state or foreign securities laws, or common law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions proceeding or
settlements in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the
following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a “Violation”) by
Newco:  (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus (or similar offering documents) contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto, or any other document required in connection
therewith or any qualification or compliance associated therewith; (ii) the
omission or

 

65

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein,
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any
violation or alleged violation of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
state or foreign securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal, state or foreign securities
laws or common law; and Newco will reimburse each such indemnified party for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 5.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of Newco (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), nor shall Newco be liable in any
such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent
that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in
connection with such registration by such Holder, underwriter or controlling
Person.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Person seeking indemnity and shall
survive the transfer of such securities by any such Person.

 

(b)           To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, on a several
and not joint basis, will indemnify and hold harmless Newco, each of its
directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each
Person, if any, who controls Newco within the meaning of the Securities Act, any
underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such Registration Statement
and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any
losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (joint or several) (or actions,
proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) to which any of the foregoing
Persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other
federal, state or foreign securities laws, or common law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions proceedings or settlements in
respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation (but excluding
clause (iii) of the definition thereof), in each case to the extent (and only to
the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection
with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any Person intended
to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.6(b) for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.6(b) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, further
that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 5.6(b) exceed the net
proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

 

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 5.6 of written notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 5.6, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however,

 

66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may
be represented without conflict, together with one local counsel) shall have the
right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by
the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to
defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 5.6 to the extent of such prejudice,
but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not
relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise
than under this Section 5.6.  No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such
claim or action, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by claimant or plaintiff to
such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim
or action.

 

(d)           If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.6 is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with
respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein,
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of and, except as to
Newco where Newco does not participate in the offering, the relative benefits
received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party
on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in
such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations; provided, that no Person guilty of fraud shall be
entitled to contribution.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of
the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.  The relative benefits received by the indemnifying party
and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to the net proceeds
and underwriting discounts and commissions from the offering received by each
such party.  In no event shall any contribution of any Holder under this
Section 5.6(d) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such
Holder, less any amounts paid under Section 5.6(b).

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions

survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a

parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the

Section 7.6             Severability.  If any term or other provision of this
Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced as a result of any
rule of law or public policy, all other terms and other provisions of this
Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the
economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon such
determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable
of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify

possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit or extend
the scope or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

counterpart of the signature page and this Agreement may be executed by the
affixing of the signatures of each of the Equityholders to one of such
counterpart signature pages.  All of such counterpart signature pages shall be
read as though one, and they shall have the same force and effect as though all
of the signers had signed a single signature page.

 

Section 7.10           Waiver of Trial by Jury.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL

Section 7.11           Binding Arbitration.  Any dispute, claim or controversy
arising out of or relating to this Agreement that cannot be resolved amicably by
the parties, including the scope or applicability of this agreement to
arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration pursuant to Section 349 of
the Rules of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware if it is eligible
for such arbitration.  If the dispute claim or controversy is not eligible for
such arbitration, it shall be settled by arbitration administered by the AAA in
accordance with its Commercial Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  Any AAA
arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in the State of Delaware.  The AAA
arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court
of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including the issuance of an
injunction or other equitable relief.  However, any party may, without
inconsistency with this arbitration provision, apply to any court having
jurisdiction hereof and seek interim provisional, injunctive or other equitable
relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise
resolved.  Except as necessary in court proceedings to enforce this arbitration
provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to obtain interim relief, neither a
party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any
arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

 

Section 7.12           Gaming Suitability.

Equityholders are and remain subject to the jurisdiction of any Gaming
Authorities under applicable Gaming Laws, the ownership of Equity Interests

(b)           The election, designation or appointment of an individual to serve
as a director on a Board of Directors or Sub Board, or as a manager or an
officer of Holdco, New Propco, Voteco or any Subsidiary is subject to any
qualifications, findings of suitability, approvals and other Gaming Licenses
(collectively, “Qualifications”) required under any applicable Gaming Laws to be
obtained prior to the election or appointment (it being understood that, if not
prohibited by applicable Gaming Laws, any such individual will be so elected,
designated or appointed without any such Qualifications, subject to the
requirement to make

 

72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

subsequent filings or receive subsequent Qualifications required under
applicable Gaming Laws).  For purposes of this Agreement, an individual shall be
qualified to serve as such a director, manager or officer for so long as that
individual is determined to be, and continues to be, licensed, qualified and
found suitable by all Gaming Authorities having jurisdiction over such entity or
any such director, manager or officer and under all applicable Gaming Laws.

 

Section 7.13           Gaming Redemption.

 

(a)           The Equity Interests (“Affected Interests”) in Holdco or Voteco
(the “Applicable Company”) owned or controlled directly or indirectly (including
through a Blockerco) by an Unsuitable Person or an Affiliate of an Unsuitable
Person (the “Affected Equityholder”) shall be subject to redemption by the
Applicable Company, out of funds legally available therefor, to the extent
required by the Gaming Authority making the determination of unsuitability or
reasonably deemed necessary or advisable by the Applicable Company’s Board of
Directors.  If the Gaming Authority or the Applicable Company’s Board of
Directors making the determination of unsuitability requires or deems it
reasonably necessary or advisable to redeem the Affected Interests, the
Applicable Company’s Board of Directors shall give a Redemption Notice to the
Affected Equityholder and, if the Affected Equityholder owns the Affected
Interests through a Blockerco, such Blockerco, and shall thereafter proceed to
purchase the Affected Interests on the Redemption Date for the Redemption Price,
subject to any approvals, conditions or limitations under applicable Gaming
Laws.  If the Affected Equityholder owns the Affected Interests through a
Blockerco, on the Redemption Date, immediately upon receipt of the Redemption
Price, such Blockerco shall redeem all Equity Interests and Debt Interests held
by such Affected Equityholder in consideration for the Redemption Price.  From
and after the Redemption Date, the Affected Interests and, if the Affected
Equityholder owns the Affected Interests through a Blockerco, all Debt Interests
and Equity Interests in such Blockerco, shall no longer be outstanding, the
Affected Equityholder shall cease to be a member, partner or stockholder of the
Applicable Company or, if applicable, such Blockerco, and all rights of the
Affected Equityholder herein and in the Organizational Documents of the
Applicable Company or such Blockerco, other than the right to receive the
Redemption Price, shall cease.  The Affected Equityholder shall surrender any
certificates representing the Affected Interests to be redeemed in accordance
with the requirements of the Redemption Notice.

 

(b)           The Holdco LLCA and Voteco LLCA shall provide that commencing on
the date that an Equityholder in such Company becomes an Affected Equityholder,
and until the Affected Interests of such Affected Equityholder are redeemed or
are transferred to a Person who is not an Unsuitable Person in a transfer
permitted by the terms of this Agreement, such Affected Equityholder shall not
be entitled to:  (i) receive any distributions with regard to such Affected
Interests; (ii) exercise, directly or indirectly or through any proxy, trustee,
or nominee, any voting or other right conferred by such Affected Interests, and
Affected Interests shall not for any purposes be included in the Equity
Interests of such Company entitled to vote, or (iii) receive any remuneration in
any form from any of the Companies, Equityholders or any Affiliate of the any of
them for services rendered or otherwise.  The Organizational Documents of each
Blockerco shall provide that commencing on the date that an Equityholder in such
Blockerco becomes an Affected Equityholder, and until the Affected Interests of
such Affected Equityholder are redeemed or are transferred to a Person who is
not an Unsuitable Person in a transfer permitted

 

73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

by the terms of this Agreement, such Affected Equityholder shall not be entitled
to:  (i) receive any distributions or payments with regard to its Equity
Interests or Debt Interests in such Blockerco; (ii) exercise, directly or
indirectly or through any proxy, trustee, or nominee, any voting or other right
conferred by such Equity Interests or Debt Interests, and such Equity Interests
shall not for any purposes be included in the Equity Interests of such Blockerco
entitled to vote; or (iii) receive any remuneration in any form from the
Blockerco or any of the Companies, Equityholders or any Affiliate of the either
of them for services rendered or otherwise.

 

(c)           All notices given pursuant to this Section, including Redemption
Notices, shall be in writing and shall be given in accordance with Section 7.3.

 

(d)           Each Affected Equityholder shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Companies and Equityholders and their respective Affiliates for any and all
losses, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by them as a
result of, or arising out of, such Affected Equityholder’s refusal or failure to
comply with the provisions of this Section and the provisions of the related
limited liability company agreement described in paragraph (b) above, or failure
to promptly divest itself of any Affected Interests when required to do so by
this Section 7.13.

 

(e)           The right of redemption provided in this Section shall not be
exclusive of any other rights any of the Companies or Equityholders or their
respective Affiliates may have under this Agreement or hereafter acquire under
any other agreement or otherwise.

 

(f)            Nothing contained in this Section shall limit the authority of
any Company to take such other action to the extent permitted by law as it deems
necessary or advisable to protect such Company or its Affiliates from the denial
or threatened denial or loss or threatened loss of any Gaming Licenses or as
required by any Gaming Authority.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, such Company’s Board of Directors or Sub Board may, to the extent
permitted by law, from time to time establish, modify, amend or rescind
regulations, and procedures of such Company not inconsistent with the express
provisions of this Section for the purpose of determining whether any Person is
an Unsuitable Person and, as applicable, for the orderly application,
administration and implementation of the provisions of this Section.

 

(g)           Except as may be required by any applicable Gaming Laws or a
Gaming Authority, Holdco or Voteco may waive any of the rights of such Company
or any restrictions contained in this Section in any instance in which the such
Company’s Board of Directors determines that a waiver would be in the best
interests of such Company.  Except as may be required by a Gaming Authority,
nothing in this Section shall be deemed or construed to require Holdco or Voteco
to repurchase any Affected Interest of an Affected Equityholder.

 

Section 7.14           Restructuring, Exchanges, etc.  Except as expressly
provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any and all
Equity Interests of Voteco, Holdco and New Propco or any successor or assignee
of Voteco, Holdco or New Propco (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of
assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in
substitution for such Equity Interests, by reason of any Equity Interest
dividend, split, reverse split, combination, restructuring, reclassification,
merger, consolidation, or otherwise in such a

 

74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

manner as to reflect the intent and meaning of the provisions hereof.  Upon the
occurrence of any of such events, amounts of Equity Interests and any other
appropriate terms shall be appropriately adjusted, as determined in good faith
by the Voteco Board of Directors, Holdco Board of Directors or New Propco Board
of Directors, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the above, the publicly traded
partnership restrictions on issuances and Transfers set forth in
Section 3.2(j)(iv) will not apply upon a registration of the Equity Interests in
connection with a registered public offering.

 

Section 7.15           Conflict with Organizational Documents.  The parties
agree that, in the event any term or provision of any Organizational Documents
of any of the Companies or any Blockerco conflict with this Agreement, this
Agreement shall control and all parties shall take all action reasonably
necessary to amend such Organizational Documents so that such Organizational
Documents shall not conflict, including voting in favor of such amendments
thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to conform such Organizational
Documents to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.16           Use of Name.  No Company shall use any DB Name or JPM
Name without the prior written consent of a Majority of the DB Equityholders or
Majority of the JPM Equityholders, as the case may be.

 

Section 7.17           Joinder.  Each party to this Agreement agrees to cause
(a) each Person that becomes a Subsidiary of any Company, (b) each Person to
which any Companies issue Equity Interests and (c) each Person to whom a
Blockerco issues Equity Interests or Debt Interests or to whom Equity Interest
or Debt Interest shall have been Transferred, in each case after the date hereof
to the extent not then a party hereto, to execute a joinder agreement reasonably
acceptable to the New Propco Board of Directors whereby such Person becomes a
party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by the obligations, rights and
responsibilities set forth herein and, if such Person is to hold equity in
Holdco or Voteco, the Holdco LLCA or Voteco LLCA, as the case may be, in each
case as though such Person was originally a party to this Agreement.

 

Section 7.18           Equitable Remedies.  Each of the parties hereto
acknowledges that the rights of each other party are special, unique or
extraordinary character and that, in the event that a party violates or fails or
refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by it in this Agreement (or
threatens to do so), then each other party may be without an adequate remedy at
law.  Each party hereto agrees, therefore, that in the event it violates or
fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement made by it under this
Agreement (or threatens to do so), each other party may, in addition to any
remedies hereunder for damages or other relief, institute and prosecute an
action in accordance with Section 7.11 to enforce specific performance of such
covenant or agreement or seek injunctive or any other equitable relief.

 

Section 7.19           Curative Loans.  If a Specified Event has occurred and
would be remedied by the proceeds generated from a Permitted Raise or a Curative
Loan, the Holdco Board of Directors shall have the option to cause Holdco to
pursue either or both such alternatives.  Any Curative Loan must be approved by
the Holdco Board of Directors and shall (a) be in an aggregate amount that is no
more than the amount required to cure or prevent the Specified Event (the “Cure
Amount”), (b) only be borrowed by Holdco to cure or prevent a Specified Event
and (c) only be borrowed from one or more Founding Equityholders in accordance
with

 

75

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the procedures set forth in this Section 7.19. If a Specified Event has
occurred, one or more Founding Equityholders (each such Founding Equityholder,
an “Initial Member Lender”) stands ready, willing and able to provide a Curative
Loan for all or a portion of the Cure Amount and has certified to Holdco the
amount of the Curative Amount such Initial Member Lender is willing to provide
in the form of a Curative Loan, and Holdco determines to borrow a Curative Loan,
then it shall provide notice to each of the other Founding Equityholders of the
Specified Event, the amount of the Cure Amount, the Initial Member Lenders that
have proposed to make the Curative Loan and the amount of the Curative Loan each
such Person has proposed to provide to Holdco. Each other Founding Equityholder
shall have five Business Days after the receipt of such notice to inform Holdco
by written certification of the aggregate principal amount of Curative Loans, if
any, such Founding Equityholder is willing and able to extend to Holdco with
respect to such Specified Event (the amount so certified by each such Founding
Equityholder and by each Initial Member Lender, which amount shall in no event
exceed the Cure Amount, the “Certified Loan Amount”). Each Founding Equityholder
that is willing to extend a Curative Loan is referred to as a “Willing Member
Lender” and they are collectively with the Initial Member Lenders referred to as
the “Willing Member Lenders.” In the event that there is more than one Willing
Member Lender, then Holdco shall borrow a Curative Loan from each such Willing
Member Lender in an amount equal to the product yielded by multiplying (i) the
applicable Cure Amount by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the
applicable Willing Member Lender’s Certified Loan Amount and the denominator of
which is the sum of the Certified Loan Amounts of all Willing Member Lenders;
provided, however, that if the aggregate Certified Loan Amounts exceed the Cure
Amount, then each Willing Member Lender (each a “Shortfall Willing Member
Lender”) whose Certified Loan Amount is equal to or less than its Pro Rata Cure
Share shall provide Holdco with a Curative Loan in an aggregate principal amount
equal to its Certified Loan Amount and each Willing Member Lender (each, an
“Excess Willing Member Lender”) whose Certified Loan Amount is greater than its
Pro Rata Cure Share shall provide Holdco with a Curative Loan in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the sum of (1) its Pro Rata Cure Share and (2) its pro
rata share (based on the proportion of the number of Units it owns to the number
of Units owned by all of the Excess Willing Member Lenders) of the Cure
Shortfall. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cure Shortfall” means the amount by
which the sum of the Shortfall Willing Member Lenders’ Pro Rata Cure Shares
exceeds the Certified Loan Amounts of the Shortfall Willing Member Lenders and
“Pro Rata Cure Share” with respect to any Willing Member Lender means the Cure
Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Units
owned by such Willing Member Lender and the denominator of which is the total
number of Units owned by all of the Willing Member Lenders.

 

A separate and independent Cure Note shall be issued by Holdco to a Lending
Equityholder concurrently with the extension to Holdco of each Curative Loan
made by such Lending Equityholder. Each Cure Note issued by Holdco hereunder
shall (i) be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, unless
otherwise consented to by a Majority of the Fertitta Equityholders and a
Majority of the Bank Equityholders, (ii) accrue interest at a rate per annum
equal to 18.00% and (iii) mature, and be required to be repaid in full, on the
date that is 24 months following the date on which it is issued.
