FIRST
AMENDMENT TO

STOCK
PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is
made as of September 30, 2005, by and among PIMLICO RACING ASSOCIATION,
INC., a Maryland corporation, LAUREL RACING ASSOCIATION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a
Maryland limited partnership, and THE MARYLAND JOCKEY CLUB OF BALTIMORE CITY,
INC., a Maryland corporation (each, individually a “Seller”, and collectively, “Sellers”),
MARYLAND-VIRGINIA RACING CIRCUIT, INC., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”),
and COLONIAL DOWNS, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership (“Colonial Downs” or “Purchaser”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                   The Sellers, the
Purchaser and the Company (the “Parties”) entered into a Stock Purchase
Agreement dated as of August 18, 2005 (the “Agreement”).

 

B.                                     The Parties
believe that it is in the best interests of the Parties and of the horse racing
industries in Virginia and Maryland to amend the Agreement as provided herein.

 

C.                                     The Racing
Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “Commission”) approved the
Agreement and the changes thereto contained in this Amendment during a Special
Meeting of the Commission on September 28, 2005.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the promises contained herein and other good and valuable
consideration, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.                                       Amendment.  Section 6.5(a) of the Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in its place:

 

(a)                                  Coordination
of Thoroughbred Meets.  Sellers and
Purchaser shall continue to discuss annually the coordination of race dates
between Laurel Race Course (“Laurel”) and Pimlico Race Course (“Pimlico”) on
the one hand and Colonial Downs on the other. 
For a period of ten (10) years after the Closing, which period
shall be automatically renewed in 5-year periods unless one party notifies the
other by November 1 of the preceding year, Colonial Downs shall not
conduct live thoroughbred horse racing at any of Purchaser’s Virginia
Racetracks (defined below) before the later of June 17 and the Monday
following running of the Belmont Stakes Race (the “Cut Date”) of any calendar
year, and Sellers shall not conduct live thoroughbred horse racing at any of
Sellers’ Maryland Racetracks (defined below) from the Cut Date to July

 

 

31 of any calendar year unless expressly
agreed in writing otherwise by the parties. 
Sellers and Purchaser agree, however, that the foregoing prohibitions
shall not apply to Purchaser in respect of any given week between the Monday
following running of the Preakness Stakes and the Cut Date of any calendar year
to the extent either or both of  Sellers
are not scheduled to conduct, and in fact do not conduct, live thoroughbred
horse racing at any of Sellers’ Maryland Racetracks during that week.  For purposes of this Section 6.5(a) only,
the following terms have the following meanings.  The phrase “live thoroughbred horse racing”
shall mean the conduct of one or more live thoroughbred horse races at the
applicable party’s horse racetrack on any one or more days during the given
calendar week, each of which shall be deemed to begin on Monday and end the
next Sunday.  “Purchaser’s Virginia
Racetracks” shall mean the Racetrack or any other horse racetracks in Virginia
owned in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by Purchaser.  “Sellers’ Maryland Racetracks” shall mean
Pimlico, Laurel or any other horse racetrack in Maryland owned in whole or in
part, directly or indirectly, by Sellers. 
Except as otherwise modified specifically herein, the period from the
Cut Date to July 31 shall be defined as a “Meet.”  There are ten (10) Meets during this ten
(10) year period.

 

2.                                       Closing Date.  The parties agree that the Closing shall take
place on September 30, 2005 at 11:00 a.m. in Richmond, Virginia at
the offices of Hirschler Fleischer pursuant to Section 2.1 of the
Agreement.

 

3.                                       Effectiveness
of the Amendment.  Each of the
undersigned, by his or her signature below, does hereby give his or her written
consent to the amendment of the Agreement in accordance with the foregoing
provisions effective as of the date hereof.

 

4.                                       Confirmation
of the Agreement.  Except as amended
as set forth herein, the terms, conditions, and agreements set forth in the
Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall continue in full force
and effect.

 

5.                                       Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

which sets forth in reasonable detail (i) the Seller’s good faith estimate
of the Liability Adjustment (the “Estimated Liability Adjustment”) and the
Liability Difference (the “Estimated Liability Difference”) and (ii) based
thereon, the calculation of the Purchase Price.

 

(b)                                Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare
and deliver (by same day or next day delivery) to Purchaser a statement setting
forth its determination of the Liability Adjustment and the Liability
Difference (the “Initial Liability Statement”), which statement shall set forth
in reasonable detail the basis for such determinations. During the thirty (30)
days after receipt of such statement, Purchaser and its representatives will be
permitted to review Seller’s working papers relating to the Initial Liability
Statement.

 

8

 

(c)                                 Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (the “Notice of
Disagreement”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Initial Liability
Statement if Purchaser disagrees with Seller’s calculation of the Liability
Adjustment or the Liability Difference, which Notice of Disagreement shall set
forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute and the U.S. dollar
amounts involved and Purchaser’s good faith estimate of the Liability
Adjustment or the Liability Difference. If no Notice of Disagreement is
received by Seller within such thirty (30) day period, then the Initial
Liability Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Purchaser, shall
become final and binding upon the parties and shall be the Final Liability
Statement.

 

(d)                                During the twenty (20) Business Days immediately following the
delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, Seller and Purchaser shall seek in good
faith to resolve any differences which they may have with respect to any matter
specified in the Notice of Disagreement. If at the end of such twenty (20)
Business Day period Seller and Purchaser have been unable to agree upon a Final
Liability Statement, Seller and Purchaser shall submit to the Independent
Accounting Firm for review and resolution any and all matters which remain in
dispute with respect to the Notice of Disagreement. The Independent Accounting
Firm shall use commercially practicable efforts to make a final determination,
which shall be binding on the parties hereto, of the Liability Adjustment and
the Liability Difference within twenty (20) Business Days after any such
referral, and such final determination shall be the Final Liability Statement.
This Section is an agreement to arbitrate as such is defined in Chapter 38
of the Nevada Revised Statutes; provided, however, that: (a) Sections
38.075, 38.085, 38.095 and 38.145(1)(d) of such Chapter are hereby waived;
and (b) the time periods contained in Sections 38.145(2) and 38.155(1) of
such Chapter are hereby shortened to thirty (30) days. The arbitration is to be
performed in Reno, Nevada. Purchaser and Seller each consent to the procedure
herein set forth and waive any rights (including any right to a hearing,
representation by attorney at such hearing, or any rights with respect to
witnesses, cross-examination, subpoenas and depositions) they may have under
conflicting provisions of the Nevada Uniform Arbitration Act, Nevada Revised
Statutes Subsection 38.015 et seq., as now or hereafter in effect. The
Parties agree that judgment may be entered upon the decision of the Independent
Accounting Firm.

 

If the amount in dispute is less than FIFTY
THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00), the parties agree to split the
difference and not go through arbitration.

 

(e)                                 The cost of the Independent Accounting Firm’s review and
determination shall be paid by the party which has determined an amount of the
sum of the Liability Adjustment and the Liability Difference that is the
greatest amount different from the amount of such sum on the Final Liability
Statement. During the twenty (20) Business Day review by the Independent
Accounting Firm, Purchaser and Seller will each make available to the
Independent Accounting Firm interviews with such individuals and such
information, books and records as may be reasonably required by the Independent
Accounting Firm to make its final determination.

 

9

 

(f)                                   (i) If the Liability Adjustment (as set forth in the Final
Liability Statement) exceeds the Estimated Liability Adjustment, then Seller or
Trust, jointly and severally, shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such
excess or (ii) if the Estimated Liability Adjustment exceeds the Liability
Adjustment (as set forth in the Final Liability Statement), then Purchaser
shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such excess, in either case within five (5) Business
Days after the Final Liability Statement becomes final and binding on the
parties hereto. If the Liability Adjustment (as set forth in the Final
Liability Statement) is equal to the Estimated Liability Adjustment, then
neither Purchaser nor Seller shall owe any amount to the other party pursuant
to this Section 4.4(f).

 

Section 4.5                                      Prorations. To the extent not otherwise
included in the Final Liability Statement, real estate taxes and assessments,
personal property taxes, Ground Lease rents and rents and any other receipts
attributable to space leases shall be prorated as of midnight on the Closing
Date. Wagers received by Seller prior to or at the Closing for keno and other
events occurring after the Closing shall be paid to Purchaser. In lieu of
prorating power, gas, water and other utility fees and charges (other than
telephone), the appropriate utilities shall be informed to take meter readings
as close as practicable to the Closing Date, to bill Seller for service prior
to such readings and to bill Purchaser for service thereafter. Said readings
must occur on or before the Closing Date. The telephone company shall be
informed to cancel Seller’s service as of the Closing Date and to transfer
service and the telephone numbers of the Business to Purchaser. The next

those charges attributable to calls made before midnight on the Closing Date.
General service charges will be prorated as of the time of the billing on the
basis of the number of days before and after the Closing Date, respectively. At
the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall estimate or actually determine the

TITLE

 

Section 5.1                                      Title Exceptions.

 

(a)                                 On the date hereof, Seller will order from Northern Nevada Title Company (the “Title Company”), and
cause the Title Company to deliver to Purchaser within ten (10) days of
the date of this Agreement, a preliminary title report with respect to the
Leased Land, together with copies of all exceptions to title appearing in such
report (the “Exception Matters”). Seller shall also deliver to Purchaser within
ten (10) days of the date of this Agreement a copy of the most recent
survey in Seller’s possession, custody or control of the Leased Land. Within
ten (10) days of receipt of the later of the Exception Matters and survey,
Purchaser shall notify Seller of any title exceptions to which it objects (“Disapproved
Exceptions”). Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved all title exceptions
except for objections made within the above-mentioned ten (10) day period,
and each shall constitute a “Permitted Exception.” Further,

 

10

 

notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, all of the following shall also constitute Permitted
Exceptions (regardless of whether Purchaser disapproves of them): (i) real
estate taxes and assessments, personal property taxes for the year 2005 and
thereafter, water and/or meter charges, sewer taxes, charges or rents, in each
case not yet due and payable; (ii) liens, encumbrances or other matters
made, created or suffered by or on behalf of Purchaser, including, without
limitation, liens arising as a result of any act or omission of Purchaser or
Purchaser’s agents, contractors or representatives; (iii) zoning and other
land use restrictions and ordinances; (iv) the existing lease with the
Trust; (v) consents previously granted by any former owner of the Leased
Land for the erection of any structure or structures on, under or above any
street or streets on which the Leased Land may abut; (vi) liens for any
unpaid real estate tax, water charge, sewer rent and assessment, provided
Purchaser receives a credit for such sums in an amount sufficient to discharge
such liens at the Closing in accordance with this Agreement; (vii) any
liens or encumbrances as to which the Title Company will insure, or commit to
insure, Purchaser against loss or forfeiture of title to, or collection from
the Assets without additional cost to Purchaser, whether by payment, bonding,
indemnity of Seller or Trust or otherwise; (viii) the revocable nature of
the right, if any, to maintain street and sidewalk vaults and other vault
spaces, coal chutes, excavations, canopies, marquees and signs; and (ix) any
other leases, liens, encumbrances or other exceptions which are approved by
Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.1(b) below.

 

(b)                                Within five (5) Business Days after the date Seller receives
Purchaser’s written notice of any Disapproved Exception within the time period
specified above, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of any Disapproved
Exceptions which Seller is unable or unwilling to cause to be removed or
insured against prior to or at the Closing (the “Unresolved Exceptions”). With
respect to any Unresolved Exception, Purchaser shall elect, by giving written
notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s
notice (i) to terminate this Agreement (and upon such election to
terminate, neither Party shall have any further obligations hereunder), or (ii) to
waive Purchaser’s disapproval of such Unresolved Exception, in such latter
event each such Unresolved Exception shall then be deemed to be a Permitted
Exception. Purchaser’s failure to terminate this Agreement within such five (5) Business
Day period shall constitute Purchaser’s agreement to treat such Unresolved
Exceptions as Permitted Exceptions.

 

Section 5.2                                     Purchaser’s Title as Lessee. This
Agreement (and Purchaser’s obligation to consummate by Closing) is subject to
Seller being able to obtain and to deliver to Purchaser at Closing at Seller’s
sole cost and expense an ALTA lessee’s policy of title insurance from a company
reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser in the amount of the Purchase Price
insuring that Seller and the Trust have fee title to the Leased Land and fee
title to the improvements on the Leased Land (including the Resort and the
Business), and that the Purchaser holds a valid leasehold estate in the land in
accordance with the terms of the Purchaser’s Lease Agreement, subject only to
the Permitted Exceptions, agreements subject to which Purchaser takes the
Leased Land pursuant to Section 5.1(a), items arising after the date
hereof and approved by Purchaser and items caused by Purchaser. Said policy
shall have attached thereto such endorsements as Purchaser may require (and for
which Seller or Trust shall have received a commitment from such title company
no later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof),

 

11

 

including, but not limited to, endorsements
insuring against encroachments, violations of covenants and restrictions and
mechanic’s liens and insuring contiguity. Liability under such policy shall be
reinsured to the extent, in the form, and from companies satisfactory to
Purchaser (to the extent committed by such companies no later than thirty (30)
days after the date hereof).

judgment, order, injunction, decree or ruling of any court or Governmental
Authority exists by which Seller, its Affiliates, the Assets or the Business
are bound, or to which any of them are subject, which in any manner materially
and adversely affects the operation of Business.

 

(r)                                   Deposits. All
deposits by or with Seller, either as security, prepayment of rent or
otherwise, are set forth in Section 7.1(r) of the Disclosure Schedule.

 

(s)                                 Benefit Plans and Employees.

 

(i)                                  All pension plans, retirement plans and other employee benefit plans
applicable to any of the employees of the Business (including, without
limitation, any multi-employer contracts or multi-employer pension or other
benefit plans) (collectively, “Benefit Plans”) and all Collective Bargaining
Agreements are listed in Section 7.1(s)(i) of the Disclosure
Schedule, and complete and correct copies of such items have been made
available to Purchaser. Seller, its subsidiaries, the Premises and the Business
are in material compliance with all applicable Laws and Collective Bargaining
Agreements respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions
of employment, wages and hours, and occupational safety and health, and Seller
is not engaged in any unfair labor practice within the meaning of Section 8
of the National Labor Relations Act. Seller has no labor strike, dispute,
slowdown or stoppage actually pending or, to Seller’s knowledge,
threatened against Seller. No certification or decertification proceeding is
pending or was filed within the past twenty-four (24) months respecting the
employees of the Business and, to Seller’s knowledge, no certification or
decertification petition is being or was circulated among the employees of the
Business within the past twelve months. There are no charges, administrative
proceedings or formal complaints of discrimination (including, but not limited
to, discrimination based upon sex, age, marital status, race, national origin,
sexual preference, disability or veteran status) pending or, to Seller’s
knowledge, threatened, or to Seller’s knowledge, any investigation pending or
threatened before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any federal,
state or local agency or court except as noted in Section 7.1(s)(i) of
the

 

19

 

Disclosure Schedule. There have been no
audits of the equal employment opportunity practices of the Business and, to
Seller’s knowledge, no act or omission has occurred, and no circumstance
exists, that could give rise to any basis for such an audit.

 

(ii)                               Each of the Benefit Plans which is an “employee pension benefit
plan,” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, other than Multi-Employer
Plans (collectively the “Employee Pension Benefit Plans”), is “qualified”
within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code, except as disclosed
in Section 7.1(s)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule, and a favorable
determination letter has been issued by the Internal Revenue Service with
respect to each such qualified plan and nothing has occurred, whether by action
or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification. Each
Employee Pension Benefit Plan has been administered in all material respects in
accordance with the requirements of ERISA and, where applicable, Section 401(a) of
the Code.

 

(iii)                            All material reports and information required to be filed with the
United States Department of Labor, Internal Revenue Service, Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”), and plan participants and their
beneficiaries with respect to the Benefit Plans which are maintained by Seller
(“Seller Benefit Plans”) have been timely filed or delivered by Seller.

 

(iv)                           With respect to each Seller Benefit Plan for which an annual report
has been filed, no material change has occurred with respect to the matters
covered by the annual report since the date thereof, except as indicated in Section 7.1(s)(iv) of
the Disclosure Schedule. The financial statements of Seller reflect all
employee liabilities arising under each such plan, fund, or arrangement in a
manner satisfying the requirements of GAAP.

 

(v)                              Since January 1, 2000, Seller has not maintained any Employee
Pension Benefit Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, except as described in Section 7.1(s)(v) of
the Disclosure Schedule.

 

(vi)                           Neither Seller nor any Person claiming by or through Seller has
received any notification that any Multi-Employer Plan to which it contributes
is in “reorganization” as defined under Section 4241 of ERISA. Except as
disclosed in Section 7.1(s)(vi) of the Disclosure Schedule, no
Employee Pension Benefit Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA or to the
requirements of Section 412 of the Code. As of the most recent valuation
date with respect to each such plan, the present value of the accrued benefits
thereunder do not exceed the assets of such plan available to fund such
benefits.

 

20

 

(vii)                        No Employee Pension Benefit Plan has been terminated, nor have there
been any “reportable events,” as that term is defined in Section 4043 of
ERISA, since January 1, 2000. None of the Benefit Plans maintained by
Seller or the Controlled Group (i) has any “accumulated funding
deficiency,” as such term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA, whether or
not waived, or (ii) has been terminated in a manner which could result in
the imposition of a lien on the Assets pursuant to Section 4068 of ERISA.

 

(viii)                     Seller has made available to Purchaser a true, correct and complete
list showing (i) the job classifications, number of employees in each job
classification and compensation rate for each job classification, with respect
to all present hourly employees of the Business, and (ii) the name, job
classification, current annual compensation rate (including bonus and
commissions), current base salary rate, accrued bonus, seniority, accrued sick
leave, accrued severance pay and accrued vacation benefits of each other
present employee of the Business. Seller has also delivered to Purchaser true,
correct and complete copies of any employee handbook(s); and any reports and/or
plans prepared or adopted pursuant to the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of
1972, as amended.

 

(ix)                             Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the execution and
delivery of this Agreement by Seller and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereunder will not result in any obligation or liability (with
respect to accrued benefits or otherwise) of Purchaser to any Benefit Plan or
to any employee or former employee of Seller or the Business.

 

(x)                                For each plan, fund, or arrangement maintained by Seller which is an
employee welfare benefit plan (within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(1))
(a “Welfare Plan”), the following is true:

 

(a)                                  each such Welfare Plan intended to meet the requirements for
tax-favored treatment under Subchapter B of Chapter 1 of the Code meets such
requirements;

 

(b)                                 there is no VEBA maintained with respect to any such Welfare Plan;

 

(c)                                  there is no disqualified benefit (as such term is defined in Code Section 4976(b))
which would subject Purchaser to a tax under Code Section 4976(a);

 

(d)                                 each such Welfare Plan which is a group health plan (as such term is
defined in Code Section 4980B(g)(2)) complies and has complied, in all
material respects, with the applicable requirements of Code Section 4980B(f) and
the applicable provisions of the Social Security Act; and

 

21

 

(e)                                  each such Welfare Plan (including any such plan covering former
employees of the Business) may be amended or terminated by Seller on or at any
time before the Closing Date.

 

(xi)                             There are no leased employees (as such term is defined in Code Section 414(n))
with respect to the Business who must be taken into account for the
requirements of Code Section 414(n)(3).

 

(xii)                          Seller has made available to Purchaser true, correct and complete

be less than that normally maintained and in any event shall be adequate to
serve the patrons of the Business.

 

(v)                                Financial Statements. Seller has heretofore furnished Purchaser with copies of the

statements referenced in Section 7.1(v), there has not been:

 

(i)                                  any material adverse change in the Business’ financial condition,
assets or liabilities; or

 

(ii)                               any damage, destruction, other casualty loss or forfeiture with
respect to the Assets (or assets which would, but for such damage, destruction,
loss or forfeiture, comprise part of the Assets), whether or not covered by
insurance, in excess of $100,000.

 

(x)                                  No Withholding Obligation; Foreign Person.

under the Code relating to withholding of a portion of the purchase price,

Person on the other, which are required in accordance with GAAP to be reflected
in the consolidated financial statements of Seller has been so reflected.

statement furnished to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller in connection with

to the value of the property being sold to Purchaser.

Section 8.4                                      Notice of Inaccuracy.

 

(a)                                 Promptly upon either Party becoming aware of the occurrence of, or
the impending or threatened occurrence of, any event which would cause a breach
of any of its own representations or warranties contained in Section 7.1

deliver the certificate to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 9.4, Section 9.5,
Section 10.3 or Section 10.4, as the case may be, such Party shall
disclose each such event, in reasonable detail, by means of a written notice
thereof to the other Party and such Party shall use its reasonable commercial
efforts to remedy the same. No disclosure by any Party pursuant to this Section 8.4(a),
however, shall be deemed to amend or supplement the Schedules attached hereto

covenant or to satisfy any Closing condition.

 

(b)                                Each Party shall, promptly upon acquiring knowledge of the
occurrence of any event that would cause the conditions to its obligations set

fulfilled at the Closing, notify the other Party of such event.

 

30

 

(c)                                 Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any action, suit
or proceeding that shall be instituted or overtly threatened against such Party

(a)                                 Purchaser shall offer employment as of the Closing Date to each
Represented Employee, Nonrepresented Employee and employees who are hired after
the date hereof (the “Transferred Employees”) (i) in a position comparable
to the position that such Person held with Seller, and (ii) at an initial
base salary at an annual rate of not less than that which the Person was
receiving from Seller immediately prior to the Closing. Each such Person who is
a Nonrepresented Employee (other than Nonrepresented Employees of Seller who
are parties to written employment agreements listed in Section 8.6(a) of
the Disclosure Schedule which are required to be assigned to and assumed
by Purchaser under Section 3.1(b)) shall be employed on an at-will basis.
Nothing in this Section 8.6(a), express or implied, is intended to confer,
nor shall anything herein confer, (a) on any Person other than the Parties
and the respective successors or permitted assigns of the Parties, any rights
or remedies or (b) on any Person hired by Purchaser any right to remain in
the employ of Purchaser or its Affiliates, nor shall anything in this Section 8.6(a) affect
the right of Purchaser or its Affiliates to discharge at any time, with or
without notice or cause, any such Person hired by Purchaser. Provided that
Purchaser has complied with the covenants set forth in this Section 8.6(a),
effective as of the Closing, Seller shall terminate the employment by the
Business of all individuals on its active payroll, on lay-off status, and on
leave of absence.

 

(b)                                Purchaser shall not take any action which causes the notice
provisions of the WARN Act to be applicable to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.

 

(c)                                 Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume from Seller any
and all liabilities and obligations to Transferred Employees of Seller as of
the Closing Date in respect of paid time off accrued on or prior to the Closing
Date to the extent set forth in Section 3.1(a). Purchaser shall indemnify
and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates from and against any and all Losses
incurred, suffered by, or claimed against them directly or indirectly as a
result of, or based upon or arising from the foregoing assumption or the
failure by Seller to have paid such amounts to such personnel upon the
termination of their employment with Seller.

 

31

 

(d)                                Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall advise
each union that is party to a Collective Bargaining Agreement of the matters
contemplated hereunder and use its best efforts to secure such union’s written
agreement that Purchaser shall be Seller’s successor to the Collective
Bargaining Agreement. Upon consummation of the Closing, Purchaser agrees to be
bound by all terms and conditions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement on and
after the Closing Date.

 

(e)                                 Purchaser will provide continuation health care coverage to all Transferred
Employees and their qualified beneficiaries who incur a qualifying event after
the Closing Date in accordance with and to the extent required under the
continuation health care coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the
Code and Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA (“COBRA”). Seller and its Affiliates
will be responsible for providing continuation coverage and all related notices
to the extent required by law to any employee of Seller or qualified
beneficiary who incurs or incurred a qualifying event under COBRA on or before
the Closing Date, until such time as Seller and its Affiliates no longer
maintain any group health plans, and thereafter Purchaser shall be responsible
for all COBRA compliance as provided in the COBRA regulations.

 

Section 8.7                                      Governmental Permits and Approvals. Each
of the Parties shall as promptly as practicable prepare, submit and file (or
cause to be prepared, submitted and filed) all applications, notices and
requests for, and shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as
practicable, all permits and approvals of all Governmental Authorities that may
be or become necessary on each of their part, respectively, for their execution
and delivery of, and the performance of their obligations under, this
Agreement, and will cooperate fully with each other in promptly seeking to

Purchaser, on the other hand, shall bear their own costs and expenses incurred
or fees paid to Governmental Authorities to obtain such approvals and permits.

 

Section 8.8                                      Consents and Approvals for Assumed Contracts.

 

(a)                                 To the extent that the assignment of any of the Assumed Contracts
requires the consent of any other party thereto, or shall be subject to any
option in any other Person by virtue of a request for permission to assign, or
by reason of or pursuant to any assignment to Purchaser, this Agreement shall
not constitute a contract to assign the same if any attempted assignment would
constitute a breach thereof or give rise to such an option. Each of the Parties
shall as promptly as practicable prepare, submit and file (or cause to be
prepared, submitted and filed) all applications, notices and requests for, and
shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable, all such
consents, and will cooperate fully with each other in promptly seeking to
obtain all such permits and approvals. All such consents shall be in writing
and in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.

 

32

 

(b)                                If any such consent is not obtained, or if for any reason any such
assignment is not consummated, then, without limiting any other rights or
remedies Purchaser may have, Seller shall, at Purchaser’s request, cooperate
with Purchaser to provide for Purchaser the benefit, monetary or otherwise, of
the Assumed Contract at issue, including, without limitation, enforcement of
any and all rights of Seller against the other party to such Assumed Contract
arising out of any breach or cancellation thereof by such party or otherwise.

 

(c)                                 Purchaser shall bear all costs of obtaining and shall make any
deposits or similar payments reasonably requested in connection with obtaining
the required consents of third parties to the assignment, novation or renewal
of any Assumed Contract or Transferred Permit, if the party from whom such
consent is required has refused, and is contractually entitled to refuse, to
grant such consent by reason of Purchaser’s credit quality. Otherwise, costs of
obtaining such consents shall be borne by Seller.

 

Section 8.9                                      Observers. Subject to any required

efforts to deliver to Purchaser full, correct and complete copies of
certificates of inspection bearing a date not more than thirty (30) days prior
to the Closing Date with respect to the Premises from the Carson City Fire
Department, the Carson City Department of Building and Safety and the Carson
City County Health Department.

 

Section 8.11                                Notices of Governmental Action. Prior to
the Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with written notice of any zoning
proceedings which would materially and adversely affect the use and operation
of the Premises as it is currently used and operated by Seller, including, but
not limited to, any action which could cause the operation of the Business on
any portion of the Assets or Business to constitute a non-conforming use.

 

Section 8.12                                Nevada Gaming Authorities. The Parties
shall cooperate to prepare a detailed closing memorandum with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and submit it to the Nevada Gaming Authorities
with sufficient time to allow their review and approval prior to the Closing
Date. The parties agree that Purchaser shall within thirty (30) days of
execution of this Agreement submit any and all necessary applications to
complete this sale and lease to the Nevada Gaming Authorities.

performed and fulfilled under this Agreement to the end that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be fully carried out.

 

33

 

Section 8.14                                Continued Efforts for Consents to Assumed Contracts. If any consent, approval, novation or waiver necessary for
assignment and delegation of any Assumed Contract or Transferred Permit is not
obtained prior to or on the Closing Date, then, for a period of six (6) months
after the Closing Date, each of Seller and Purchaser shall use their respective
commercially reasonable efforts and shall cooperate with each other to obtain
all such consents, approvals, novations and waivers necessary to assign and
delegate to Purchaser all such Assumed Contracts and Transferred Permits;
provided, however, that, in each such case, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall
be obligated to commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation
(financial or otherwise) to any Person or incur any other obligation or
liability therefor.

 

Section 8.15                                Substitution. Purchaser shall use all
commercially reasonable efforts to substitute, as of the Closing Date, with
respect to each Assumed Contract (including any guaranties or other credit
support with respect thereto) and Transferred Permit, Purchaser or Jacobs
Entertainment, Inc. (or such other Person as may be acceptable to the
obligee thereunder) for the Seller or its Affiliates, as the case may be, and
to cause the Seller and its Affiliates to be forever released from all
liability in respect thereof; provided that in no event shall any Person other
than Purchaser or Jacobs Entertainment, Inc. be required to assume any
such obligation. If such substitution is not accepted by any third party to any
such Assumed Contract, guaranty, letter of credit, bond or other indemnity
obligation, Purchaser shall provide to Seller bonds, letters of credit or other
reasonable assurances of performance reasonably acceptable to Seller to support
Seller’s (or an Affiliate of Seller’s) performance under each such Assumed
Contract, guaranty, letter of credit, bond or other indemnity obligation.

permitted in this Section 8.19 or as required by applicable Law, prior to
the completion of the Closing, neither Party shall grant interviews, issue any
press release or make any similar public announcement concerning the execution
or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder
unless the content thereof is approved in advance by Purchaser and Seller.
Thereafter, each party may grant interviews and make public statements
regarding the general transactions contemplated hereunder without the approval

notice to Seller prior to Closing request that Seller, and upon any such

theretofore paid to Seller by third parties by reason of such condemnation,
destruction or damage, and (y) assign to Purchaser, at the Closing, all of the
right, title and interest of Seller in any to any unpaid awards or other
amounts payable by third parties or under Seller’s personal property and
casualty insurance policies arising out of such condemnation, destruction or
damage; provided that, upon making such request, Purchaser shall waive its

Seller and dated the Closing Date, signed by and on behalf of Purchaser by its
duly authorized representative.

terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Purchaser at any time
prior to the Closing:

 

(a)                                 in the event Purchaser has breached any representation, warranty, or
covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Seller has
notified Purchaser of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for
a period of thirty (30) days after the notice of breach;

 

(b)                                in the event any of the Seller’s Conditions Precedent shall have
become incapable of fulfillment; or

 

(c)                                 if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside

Section 11.3                                Termination by Purchaser. In addition to
its termination rights under Article V hereof, Purchaser may terminate
this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller at any time prior to the
Closing:

 

(a)                                 in the event Seller has breached any representation, warranty, or
covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Purchaser has
notified Seller of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a
period of thirty (30) days after the notice of breach or until the Outside
Date, whichever is sooner;

 

(b)                                in the event any of the Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent shall have

Seller’s breach of this Agreement at or prior to termination; and provided
further, that if the Deposit is paid to Seller under Section 4.1(d) such
amount with Accrued Interest shall constitute liquidated

 

38

 

damages and the Seller shall have no further
rights or remedies against Purchaser at law or in equity.

ARTICLE XIII

GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 13.1                                Agreement of Seller and Trust to Indemnify Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE XIII,
after the Closing, Seller and Trust hereby agree jointly and severally to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates, and their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from,
against, for and in respect of any and all Losses asserted against, relating
to, imposed upon or incurred by Purchaser by reason of, resulting from, based
upon or arising out of:

 

(a)                                 Seller’s or Trust’s breach of any representation or warranty of
Seller or Trust contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, or the breach
by Seller or Trust of any covenant or agreement made in or pursuant to this
Agreement;

 

(b)                                Seller’s ownership or operation of the Business prior to the Closing
Date, other than Losses relating to, imposed by reason of, resulting from,
based on or arising out of the Assumed Liabilities; or

 

(c)                                 the Retained Liabilities.

 

Section 13.2                                Agreement of Purchaser to Indemnify Seller. Subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE XIII,
after the Closing, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Seller, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents and representatives from, against, for, and in respect of any
and all Losses asserted against, relating to, imposed upon or incurred by
Seller or such persons by reason of, resulting from, based upon or arising out
of:

 

(a)                                 Purchaser’s breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser
contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, or the breach by the Purchaser
of any covenant or agreement made in or pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(b)                                Purchaser’s ownership or operation of the Business on or after the
Closing Date, other than Losses relating to, imposed by reason of, resulting
from, based on or arising out of the Retained Liabilities;

 

(c)                                 the exercise by Purchaser and/or its agents, employees or
contractors of Purchaser’s rights under Section 8.3(a); or

 

(d)                                the Assumed Liabilities.

 

39

 

Section 13.3                                Effect of Closing Over Known Unsatisfied Conditions or Breached
Representations, Warranties or Covenants. If either
Party elects to proceed with the Closing with actual knowledge of any failure
to be satisfied of any condition in its favor or the breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant by the other Party, the condition that is
unsatisfied or the representation, warranty or covenant which is breached at
the Closing Date shall be deemed to be irrevocably waived by such Party, and
such Party shall be deemed to fully release and forever discharge the other
Party on account of any and all claims, demands or charges, known or unknown,
with respect to the same.

 

Section 13.4                                Mitigation. The Indemnified Parties
shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate all Losses, including availing
themselves of any defenses, limitations, rights of contribution, claims against
third parties and other rights at law or in equity, and shall provide such
evidence and documentation of the nature and extent of any liability as may be
reasonably requested by the Indemnitor. Each Indemnified Party shall act in a
commercially reasonable manner in addressing any Losses that may provide the
basis for an indemnifiable claim (that is, each Indemnified Party shall respond
to such Loss in the same manner that it would respond to such Loss in the
absence of the indemnification provided for in this Agreement). Any request for
indemnification of specific costs shall include invoices and supporting documents
containing reasonably detailed information about the costs and/or damages for
which indemnification is being sought.

 

Section 13.5                                Limitations on Indemnification. Any
indemnifiable claim shall be limited to the amount of actual damages sustained
by the Indemnified Parties by reason of such breach or nonperformance, net of (i) any
net Tax benefits realized or realizable by the Indemnified Parties based on the
present value thereof by reason of such Losses, and (ii) the dollar amount
of any insurance proceeds receivable by the Indemnified Parties with respect to
such Losses. Seller and Trust shall not be required to indemnify any Person
under Section 13.1 except to the extent that the aggregate of all amounts
for which indemnity would otherwise be payable by Seller exceeds $50,000 and
then only to the extent of the excess over that amount. For purposes of
measuring the Loss suffered as a result of a breach of representations and
warranties in calculating whether the threshold in the preceding sentence has
been met (but not for purposes of determining whether any representation or
warranty has been breached), any representation or warranty which contains a
materiality or similar limitation (such as a dollar threshold) shall be read as
if it did not contain such limitation. For purposes of indemnification, in no
event shall an individual breach of any representation or warranty be
considered until the Loss relating thereto exceeds $10,000. Sellers’ and Trust’s
indemnity obligations under Section 13.1 shall be limited, in the
aggregate, to the amount of the Purchase Price.

 

Section 13.6                                Exclusive Remedy. Except in respect of
remedies for actual fraud by a Party, the indemnities set forth in this
Agreement shall be the exclusive remedies of the Parties with respect to each
other related to the subject matter of this Agreement, and each Party waives
any other statutory, equitable or common law remedy which such party would
otherwise have for any breach of this Agreement or with respect to any
liability arising from, or related to, the Business, the Assets or the Assumed
Liabilities.

ARTICLE XIV

PROCEDURES FOR INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 14.1                                Procedures for Indemnification.

 

(a)                                 A claim for indemnification hereunder (herein referred to as an “Indemnification
Claim”) other than a Third Party Claim shall be made by Indemnitee by delivery
of a written declaration to Indemnitor requesting indemnification and
specifying the basis on which indemnification is sought and the amount of
asserted Losses.

 

(b)                                If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third Party Claim, the
procedures set forth in Section 14.2 shall be observed by Indemnitee and
Indemnitor.

 

(c)                                 If the Indemnification Claim involves a matter other than a Third
Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have sixty (60) days to object to such
Indemnification Claim by delivery of a written notice of such objection to
Indemnitee specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection. During
such time, the Indemnified Parties shall make available to Indemnitor all facts
and records within their possession or control relating to such claim. Failure
by Indemnitor to timely so object shall constitute acceptance of the
Indemnification Claim by the Indemnitor and the Claim shall be paid in
accordance with Section 14.1(d).

 

(d)                                Upon a final determination of the amount of an Indemnification
Claim, Indemnitor shall pay the amount of such finally determined
Indemnification Claim within ten (10) days of the date such amount is
determined.

 

Section 14.2                                Defense of a Third Party Claim. If any
claim is made, or suit or proceeding (including a binding arbitration or an
audit by any Taxing authority) is instituted against an Indemnified Party by
any Person other than Indemnitor that, if prosecuted successfully, would be a
matter for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under
this Agreement (herein referred to as a “Third Party Claim”), the obligations
and liabilities of the Parties hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)                                 The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnitor written notice of
any such claim promptly after receipt by the Indemnified Party of actual notice
thereof, but any failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any
liability which it may have except to the extent such failure would prejudice
the Indemnitor. Upon receipt of such notice, Indemnitor shall undertake the
defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to
the Indemnified Party. If, however, the Indemnitor fails or refuses to
undertake the defense of such claim within thirty (30) days after written
notice of such claim has been given to the Indemnitor by the Indemnified Party,
or at least five (5) days before any answer or similar pleading is
required, whichever is sooner, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
undertake the defense and, subject to Section 14.3, settlement of such
claim with counsel of its own choosing. In the circumstances described in the
preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall, promptly upon its

 

41

 

determination of the amount of such Loss,
make an Indemnification Claim as specified in Section 14.1.

 

(b)                                The Indemnified Parties and the Indemnitor shall cooperate with each
other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third
Party Claim including making available records relating to such claim and
furnishing, without expense to the Indemnitor, and providing access to
management employees of the Indemnified Party as may be reasonably necessary
for the preparation of the defense of any such claim or for testimony as
witnesses in any proceeding relating to such claim.

 

Section 14.3                                Settlement of Third Party Claims. No
settlement of a Third Party Claim involving the asserted liability of a Party
under this ARTICLE XIV shall be made without the prior written consent by
or on behalf of such Party, unless such settlement includes a full release of
such Party acceptable to such party in its reasonable discretion.

 

ARTICLE XV

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

 

IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR
RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, VENDORS OR
EMPLOYEES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR LOSSES WHICH
ARE INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY.
NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH OTHER
PARTY HAS RECEIVED PAYMENT FOR SUCH A CLAIM FROM ANOTHER SOURCE, AND ANY
PAYMENT OBLIGATION PAYABLE BY A PARTY SHALL BE NET OF ANY TAX BENEFITS OBTAINED
BY OR INSURANCE PROCEEDS AVAILABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY.

 

ARTICLE XVI

DISPUTE
RESOLUTION

 

Section 16.1                                Negotiation. In the event of any dispute
or disagreement between Seller and Purchaser as to the interpretation of any
provision of this Agreement or the performance of obligations hereunder (a “Dispute”),
such Dispute, upon written request of Seller or Purchaser, shall be referred to
representatives of the Parties for decision, each Party being represented by a
senior executive officer (herein referred to as the “Negotiation Representative”).
The Negotiation Representatives shall promptly meet in a good faith effort to
resolve the Dispute.

 

Section 16.2                                Mediation. If the Negotiation
Representatives do not agree upon a resolution within thirty (30) days after
reference of the Dispute to them (unless such period is extended by mutual
agreement of the Parties), the Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve
the controversy or claim in accordance with the Model Procedures for Mediation
as in effect at such time. The costs of mediation shall be shared equally by
the Parties. Any settlement reached by mediation shall be resolved in writing,
signed by the Parties and binding on the Parties. The place of any such
mediation shall be in Reno, Nevada.

 

42

 

Section 16.3                                Arbitration. If the Dispute has not been
resolved pursuant to the foregoing procedures within sixty (60) days after the
first meeting with respect to the mediation (which period may be extended by
mutual agreement), the Dispute shall be resolved, at the request of either
Party, by arbitration conducted in accordance with the provisions of the
Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Section 1-16) and in accordance with the
American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules as then in
effect, by three neutral arbitrators selected by the Parties as follows. Each
Party shall select a neutral arbitrator, subject to objection of the other
Party, and the two neutral arbitrators chosen by the Parties shall select a
third neutral arbitrator. If the two neutral arbitrators selected by the
Parties are unable to agree on the selection of the third arbitrator, they shall
select an arbitrator according to the procedures established by the American
Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules as then in effect.
The arbitration of such Dispute, including the determination of any amount of
damages suffered by any party hereto by reason of the acts or omissions of any
Party, shall be final and binding upon the Parties, except that the arbitrator
shall not be authorized to award punitive damages with respect to any such
Dispute. The arbitrators shall have the power to decide all questions of
arbitrability and of such arbitrators’ jurisdiction. No Party shall seek any
punitive damages relating to any matters under, arising out of, in connection
with or relating to this Agreement. The Parties intend that this agreement to arbitrate
be valid, binding, enforceable and irrevocable. The substantive and procedural
Law of the State of Nevada shall apply to any such arbitration proceedings, and
the decision of the arbitrators shall be bound by such Law and by the terms of
this Agreement. The place of any such arbitration shall be Reno, Nevada.
Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court
having jurisdiction thereof.

and Seller and Trust.

 

Section 17.7                                Assignment. Neither Party shall assign
its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the other Party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

Section 17.8                                Partial Invalidity. If any term,
provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or any application thereof,
should be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, all terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this
Agreement, and all applications thereof, not held invalid, void or
unenforceable shall continue in full force and effect and shall in no way be
affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, provided that the invalidity,
voidness or unenforceablity of such term, provision, covenant or condition
(after giving effect to the next sentence in this Section 17.8) does not
materially impair the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. In lieu of such invalid, void or unenforceable term,
provision, covenant or condition, there shall be added to this Agreement a
term, provision, covenant or condition that is valid, not void and enforceable
and is as similar to such invalid, void or unenforceable term, provision,
covenant or condition as may be possible.

 

Section 17.9                                No Presumption Against the Draftsman.

to the obligations of disclosure to the Nevada Gaming Authorities and under
federal securities laws. All proprietary information provided to Purchaser
shall not be disclosed and shall remain confidential. The parties agree that no
