by the other parties hereto and thereto, will constitute legally valid and

insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’
rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity.

Except as set forth in the Schedules attached hereto
(provided that a listing of an item in one Schedule shall be deemed to be a

qualifies or applies to another section), CCR hereby represents and warrants to
the Parent and the Purchasers as follows:

 

5.1.                              Company Organization
and Good Standing.  Each Company (a) is
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the

Enforceability.  CCR has the
requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations

party, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and such other Transaction Documents, and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of CCR, and no other company
action on the part of CCR or any of its members or shareholders is necessary to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and such  other Transaction Documents and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  This Agreement and such other Transaction
Documents, when duly executed by the other parties hereto and thereto, will
constitute legally valid and binding obligations of CCR enforceable against it
in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’
rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity.

 

5.3.                              Capitalization; Valid
Issuance.

and outstanding equity interests of such Company.  All of the issued and outstanding equity
interests of each Company have been duly authorized and are validly issued,

has been issued in violation of preemptive or similar rights.  There are no declared or accrued but unpaid

of CCR.

obligations, convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities, or other
commitments, contingent or otherwise, relating to equity interests in any of
the Companies, (ii) there are no outstanding or authorized membership

or members of any Company may vote, and (iii) there are no shareholder
agreements, proxies, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to
which any Company is a party or by which any Company is bound relating to the
voting or registration of any equity interests of a Company or preemptive
rights with respect thereto.

Series B Preferred Units being purchased by the Purchasers pursuant to
this Agreement will, upon issuance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (i) be
duly authorized and validly issued Series B Preferred Units of CCR, (ii) have
the rights and privileges set forth in the Revised Operating Agreement and (iii) constitute
24.5% of the outstanding equity interests in CCR on an as-converted,
fully-diluted basis as of the Closing Date.

 

5.4.                              Consents and Approvals.  No material consent, approval, order or
authorization of any third party that is not a Governmental Entity is required
for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by CCR.  Except for the Gaming Approvals, no notices, reports,
registrations or other filings are required to be made by any of the Companies
with, nor are any consents, approvals or Governmental Authorizations required
to be obtained by any of the Companies from, any Governmental Entity in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or,
at the time of their execution, the other Transaction Documents by CCR, in each
case except for those the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or
in the aggregate, are not material to its ability to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder and are not reasonably likely to prohibit or materially
restrict or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby.

 

5.5.                              No Violations.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents by CCR does not, and the consummation by
CCR of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) violate,
breach, conflict with or contravene any provision of the Governing Documents of
CCR or (b) assuming all notices, reports, registrations, filings,
consents, approvals and other Governmental Authorizations contemplated by Section 5.4
having been made or obtained, as applicable, violate, breach, contravene or
conflict with any applicable Law, other than such violations that would be
immaterial or would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.6.                              Governmental
Authorizations; Compliance with Laws.

the Companies’ knowledge, the Companies have obtained and maintain in full
force and effect all material Governmental Authorizations required to
substantially conduct the Business of the Companies as it is presently being
conducted, and for the lawful ownership, leasing, use and operation of their
respective properties and assets, in each case, except for such Governmental
Authorizations the failure to have, obtain or maintain are not material to the
ability of CCR to perform its obligations hereunder and are not reasonably
likely to prohibit or materially restrict or delay the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.  To the
Companies’ knowledge, there has occurred no material violation of or default
under any such Governmental Authorization. 
To the Companies’ knowledge, none of the Companies has received a
currently effective written notice, or has knowledge of any other

 

13

 

notice, indicating that any such Governmental Authorizations will be
revoked or will not be renewed or will only be renewed in a manner that would
prohibit or materially restrict the Companies from conducting their material
operations in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

 

(b)                                 To
the Companies’ knowledge, each of the Companies is in compliance in all
material respects with all Laws and Orders applicable to the Business.

Representations
and Warranties Regarding the Purchasers and the Parent

 

Each of the Purchasers
and the Parent, jointly and severally, hereby represents and warrants to CCR as

business requires such qualification or license, except for failures to so

aggregate, are not material to its ability to perform its obligations hereunder
and are not reasonably likely to prohibit or materially restrict or delay its
performance of this Agreement or any of such other Transaction Documents.

 

6.2.                              Purchaser and Parent
Authority; Enforceability.  Each of
the Purchasers and the Parent has the requisite power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and such other
Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary
action on the part of the Purchasers or the Parent, as applicable, and no other
company action on the part of the Parent or any of its shareholders is
necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and such other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 
This Agreement and such other Transaction Documents, when duly executed
by the other parties hereto and thereto, will constitute legally valid and
binding obligations of the Purchasers or the Parent, as applicable, enforceable
against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity.

 

6.3.                              Consents and Approvals.  No material consent, approval, order or
authorization of any third party that is not a Governmental Entity is required
for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchasers
or the Parent.  Except for the Gaming
Approvals,  no notices, reports, registrations or
other filings are required to be made by

 

14

 

the Purchasers or the Parent with, nor are any consents, approvals or
Governmental Authorizations required to be obtained by the Purchasers or the
Parent from, any Governmental Entity in connection with the execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement or, at the time of their execution, the other
Transaction Documents by the Purchasers or the Parent, in each case except for
those the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or in the aggregate,
are not material to its ability to perform its obligations hereunder or under
any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and are not
reasonably likely to prohibit or materially restrict or delay its performance
of this Agreement.

 

6.4.                              No Violations.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents by the Parent or any Purchaser do not, and
the consummation by the Parent or any Purchaser of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) violate, breach, conflict
with or contravene any provision of its Governing Documents or (b) assuming
all notices, reports, registrations, filings, consents, approvals and other
Governmental Authorizations contemplated by Section 6.3 having been
made or obtained, as applicable, violate, breach, contravene or conflict with
any applicable Law, other than such violations which, individually or in the aggregate,
are not material to its ability to perform its obligations hereunder and are
not reasonably likely to prohibit or materially restrict or delay the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

6.5.                              Securities Act.  The Purchasers are acquiring the Series B
Preferred Units for their own account and not with a view to their distribution
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), in any manner that would be in violation
of the Securities Act.  Neither of the
Purchasers has, directly or indirectly, offered the Series B Preferred
Units to anyone or solicited any offer to buy the Series B Preferred Units
from anyone, so as to bring the offer and sale of the Series B Preferred
Units within the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  Neither of the Purchasers will sell, convey,
transfer or offer for sale any of the Series B Preferred Units except upon
compliance with the Revised Operating Agreement, the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or pursuant to any exemption
therefrom.

 

6.6.                              Investor Status.  Each Purchaser certifies and represents to
CCR that such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501
of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Each Purchaser’s
financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the Series B
Preferred Units for an indefinite period of time and the risk of loss of its
entire investment. Each Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask
questions of and receive answers from the management of CCR concerning this
investment and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in
companies similar to CCR so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of
its investment in CCR.

 

6.7.                              Securities Not
Registered.  Each Purchaser
understands that the Series B Preferred Units have not been registered
under the Securities Act, by reason of their issuance by the Company in a
transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
and that the Series B Preferred Units must continue to be held by such
Purchaser unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the
Securities Act or is exempt from such registration. Each Purchaser understands
that the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions
of which are known to it) promulgated under the Securities Act depend on

 

15

 

the satisfaction of
various conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis
for sales only in limited amounts.

 

6.8.                              Tax Matters.  Each Purchaser is a United States person
within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.  Each Purchaser shall deliver to the Company
an IRS Form W-9 in connection with its acquisition of the Series B
Preferred Units hereunder and at any other time reasonably requested by the
Company.

not including any interactions between the Current Equityholders or the

of their business operations, any disclosure which is not permitted by law, or

the Purchasers and Parent, on the one hand, and the Current Equityholders and
CCR, on the other hand, shall give notice to each other with respect to any
meeting, discussion, appearance, or material contact or meeting with any
Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental
Authority, with such notice being sufficient to provide such other party with
the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion,
appearance or material contact or meeting.

Equityholders agree that counsel for CCR shall not participate in the portion
of any appearance, meeting, or discussion before the Gaming Authorities which
involves confidential information of Licensed Persons outside the control of
the Purchasers or Parent.

 

(f)                                    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the parties agree that counsel for the Crown
Parties may, at its discretion, direct the strategy for obtaining the Gaming
Approvals required to consummate the conversion of the Series B Preferred
Units to Series A2 Preferred Units and coordinate and participate in any

filings, arguments and proposals made before any Governmental Authority,
including any Gaming Authority, or the staff or regulators of any Governmental
Authority, in connection with the purchase of the Series B Preferred
Units, with the cooperation of CCR and its counsel.

 

(g)                                 The
Crown Parties agree to cooperate with CCR and the Current Equityholders after
the date hereof to assist in structuring the transactions contemplated hereby
and by the Transaction Documents, in a tax-efficient manner for CCR and the
Current Equityholders, including the transfer of funds contemplated by Section 9.2(a).

 

7.2.                              No Alternative
Transactions.  The parties agree that
from the date hereof through the earlier of (a) the Closing Date and (b) the
termination of this Agreement under Section 9.1, none of the
Current Equityholders or the Companies shall, and each of the Current
Equityholders and the Companies shall require its respective Representatives
not to, directly or

 

17

 

indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, encourage or
otherwise facilitate any inquiry, proposal, offer or discussion with any party
(other than the Parent or the Purchasers) concerning any merger,
reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, business combination,
liquidation, dissolution, share exchange, sale of stock or units, sale or
license of material assets or similar business transaction involving any of the
Companies, (ii) furnish any non-public information concerning the
business, properties or assets of any of the Companies to any party (other than
the Parent or the Purchasers) in connection with or in anticipation of any such
transaction, (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any party
(other than with the Parent or the Purchasers) with respect to, or consummate,
any such transaction, or (iv) enter into, approve, agree to, recommend or
consummate any such transaction.

 

7.3.          Guarantee.

 

(a)           The Parent absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to CCR and the Current Equityholders
the due and punctual observance, performance and discharge of all of the
covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Purchasers pursuant
to this Agreement, whether fixed, contingent, now existing or hereafter
arising, created, assumed, incurred or acquired from the date hereof through
the Closing Date (the “Obligations”).

 

(b)           The Parent agrees that the
obligations of the Parent hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in
whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of CCR or the
Current Equityholders to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or
remedy against any of the Purchasers, (ii) any change in the time, place
or manner of payment of any of the Obligations or any rescission, waiver,
compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the
terms of provisions of this Agreement, (iii) any change in the corporate
existence, structure or ownership of any of the Purchasers, (iv) any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting
any of the Purchasers, (v) any lack of validity or enforceability of this
Agreement, (vi) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which
the Parent may have at any time against CCR, the Current Equityholders or any
of the Purchasers, whether in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, and
(vii) any other act or omission which might in any manner or to any extent
vary the risk of the Parent or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of
the Parent, all of which may be done without notice to the Parent.  Neither CCR nor the Current Equityholders
shall be bound or obliged to exhaust their recourse against the Purchasers or
pursue any other remedy whatsoever before being entitled to demand the
satisfaction of the Obligations by the Parent hereunder.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Parent hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason
of any law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by CCR or the
Current Equityholders.  The Parent
acknowledges that it will receive substantially direct and indirect benefits
from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the waivers set
forth herein are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parent’s obligations under
this guarantee shall be subject to any and all claims, defenses, setoffs or
other rights of or available to the Purchasers.

 

(c)           This guarantee shall remain in full
force and effect and shall be binding on the Parent, its successors and assigns
until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid, observed, performed
or satisfied in full.

 

18

 

7.4.          Use
of Proceeds.  Upon the distribution
to CCR of the Preferred Purchase Price at the Closing, subject to and in
accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, CCR agrees to use the
Preferred Purchase Price promptly to make payments in respect of (i) the
Companies’ debt facilities in partial repayment of outstanding Indebtedness of
the Companies as of the Closing Date (which partial repayment shall be no less
than $225 million), (ii) equity cures, if necessary, pursuant to the
Companies’ debt facilities for the period ended December 31, 2008 and period
ending March 31, 2009, (iii) fees and expenses and (iv) other
general corporate purposes as CCR deems appropriate, including the funding of
distributions permitted under the Companies’ debt facilities.

prior to the Closing:

 

(a)           by mutual written consent of CCR and
the Current Equityholders, on the one hand, and the Parent and the Purchasers,
on the other hand; or

 

20

 

(b)           automatically, without any further
action on the part of any party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or
before 5:00pm EDT on May 11, 2009 (the “End Date”); provided,
that CCR and/or the Current Equityholders may extend the End Date to June 10,
2009 by delivering written notice to the Purchasers and the Escrow Agent prior
to the Notice Deadline in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

 

9.2.          Effect
of Termination.

 

(a)           On the End Date, unless the Escrow
Agent has received the Purchase Notice from the Purchasers and the Current
Equityholders prior to the Notice Deadline, the parties agree that the Escrow
Agent shall, without further instructions from any party, distribute (i) the
Termination and Series A2 Fee to CCR, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the “Distribution Account” set forth adjacent to CCR’s name
on Exhibit A to the Escrow Agreement; and (ii) $80,000,000 (Eighty
Million Dollars) of the Preferred Purchase Price (the “Crown Payment Fund”)
to the Purchasers in accordance with each Purchaser’s Payment Percentage as set
forth adjacent to such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A to the Escrow
Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the “Distribution
Account” set forth adjacent to such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A to the
Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the
Escrow Agent receives a Dispute Notice from the Current Equityholders prior to
the Notice Deadline, the Escrow Agent shall not distribute the Crown Payment
Fund unless and until the Escrow Agent receives a Dispute Resolution Notice.  On the next Business Day following the
receipt by the Escrow Agent of the Dispute Resolution Notice, it shall
distribute the Crown Payment Fund in accordance with such notice.

 

(b)           Upon distribution of the Termination
and Series A2 Fee to CCR on the End Date, CCR shall issue to the
Purchasers the 4.1% Interest, provided all Gaming Approvals required to be
obtained from, issued by or received from any Gaming Authority to permit the
parties hereto to consummate such issuance have been received.

 

(c)           Except for the rights of CCR and the
Current Equityholders to bring a Closing Dispute under this Agreement and the
Escrow Agreement, the rights of termination under Section 9.1 and
the payment of the Termination and Series A2 Fee pursuant to the Escrow
Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of CCR and the Current
Equityholders against the Parent and the Purchasers and any of their respective
Affiliates, shareholders, partners, members, directors, officers or agents if
this Agreement is terminated or the Closing otherwise does not occur, and CCR
and the Current Equityholders shall have no claims or rights against the Parent
or the Purchasers at law or in equity, other than the right to distribution of
the Termination and Series A2 Fee pursuant to the terms of the Escrow
Agreement.  If this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, all further obligations of the
parties will terminate, except that the obligations in Sections 9.2 (e) and
(f) (Dispute Resolution), Section 10.5 (Applicable Law), Section 10.6
(Enforcement), Section 10.7
(Waiver of Jury Trial), and Section 10.9 (Transaction Expenses)
will survive.

 

(d)           The parties acknowledge and agree
that the payment of the Termination and Series A2 Fee, to the extent not
allocable to the purchase of the Series A2 Preferred Units, is being made
to cancel and terminate certain rights and obligations of the Parties and such
payment is made for damage to capital and not for lost profits.

 

21

 

(e)           In the event of a Closing Dispute,
the Current Equityholders and CCR shall be entitled to bring a claim or action
against the Crown Parties in respect of such dispute; provided, however,
that under no circumstances shall the Current Equityholders or CCR be entitled
to any damages in excess of the Crown Payment Fund held by the Escrow Agent and
they hereby waive and release any claim to any such excess amounts.  In the event of a Closing Dispute, the
Current Equityholders and CCR hereby covenant and agree not to seek damages in
excess of the Crown Payment Fund (i.e., $80,000,000) held by the Escrow Agent
and unconditionally and irrevocably waive any right to seek such excess damages
or any consequential, special, punitive, multiple or exemplary damages with
respect to such Closing Dispute.

 

(f)            Dispute Resolution.  Any Closing Dispute shall be finally and
exclusively resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)
and the International Commercial Arbitration Supplementary Procedures then in
effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein.  The place of arbitration shall be New York,
New York. There shall be one arbitrator who shall be agreed upon by the parties
within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for
arbitration. If the arbitrator is not appointed within the time limit provided
herein, such arbitrator shall be appointed by AAA’s International Centre for
Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) in accordance with the listing, striking and
ranking procedure in the Rules, with each party being given a limited number of
strikes, except for cause.  Any
arbitrator appointed by the ICDR shall be a retired judge or a practicing
attorney with no less than fifteen years of experience with large commercial
cases and an experienced arbitrator.  In
rendering an award, the arbitrator shall be required to follow the laws of the
State of Delaware. The arbitrator shall be limited in the award to directing
the disposition of the Crown Payment Fund and may not award any remedy or
relief in excess of the disposition of such funds and each of the Current
Equityholders and CCR hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover any
damages in excess of the funds contained in the Purchase Price Escrow Account
with respect to any Closing Dispute.  The
award of the arbitrator (“Arbitrator Award”) shall be in writing and
shall briefly state the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is
based. The award shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties regarding any claims,
counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitrator.  Judgment upon the award may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction over any party or any of its assets. Any costs or
fees (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incident to enforcing the award
shall be charged against the Party resisting such enforcement.  The
Arbitrator shall have the power to award legal fees, disbursements and other
expenses (including fees and costs of such arbitration) to a prevailing party
for all amounts which such Arbitrator determines to be reasonable and
appropriate.

 

9.3.          Gaming
Approvals.  It is understood and
agreed by the Current Equityholders and CCR that neither the Purchasers nor the
Parent shall be in breach or violation of their respective obligations under
this Agreement as a result of the failure to obtain any Gaming Approval, or the
failure of any Persons affiliated or associated with the Parent or the
Purchasers that may need to be licensed under applicable Gaming Laws to receive
any Gaming Approval, required to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby or by the other Transaction Documents, in all events, without regard to
the circumstances or reason (or no reason) therefor, and CCR and the Current
Equityholders shall have no claims or rights against the Parent, the Purchasers
and each of their respective
Affiliates, direct or indirect equityholders

 

22

 

and controlling persons (including, without
limitation and for sake of clarity, Consolidated Press Holdings Limited and its
subsidiaries and parent entities, any Licensed Person (as defined in the
Original Purchase Agreement) and the entities described in Section 6.9 to
the Original Purchase Agreement) and each of their respective  successors, assigns, officers, directors,
managing directors, partners, managers, principals, members, employees, heirs,
executors, administrators, parents, subsidiaries, and predecessor entities and,
to the extent such parties are acting in a representative capacity, the
creditors, representatives, agents and attorneys of any of them, at law
or in equity, other than the right to distribution of the Termination and Series A2
Fee pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

representations and warranties, whether oral or written, by any party hereto or
by any director, officer, employee, agent, Affiliate or Representative of any
party hereto.  Except for the documents
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, there are no covenants,
agreements, undertakings or obligations with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein and
no representations or warranties of any kind or nature whatsoever, express or
implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose, are made or shall be deemed to be made herein by the
parties hereto except those expressly made herein.

 

10.2.        No
Third Party Rights or Obligations. 
Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer any
rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever, or impose any burden or obligation
of any nature whatsoever, upon any Person other than the parties hereto, under
or by reason of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement, and  this Agreement and all of its provisions and
conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of, and the sole and
exclusive burden of, the parties to this Agreement and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

 

10.3.        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but
all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The parties agree and acknowledge that
delivery of a signature by facsimile shall constitute execution by such
signatory.

 

10.4.        Headings.  The descriptive headings herein are inserted
for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to
affect the meaning, construction or interpretation of, this Agreement.

 

10.5.        Applicable
Law.  This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under
the applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

 

23

 

10.6.        Enforcement.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2,
(i) the parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the
parties would not have any adequate remedy at law and that money damages would
not be sufficient in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement
were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached and (ii) it is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable relief (without
bond or other security being required) to prevent breaches of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any
federal or state court located in the State of Delaware, this being in addition
to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In
addition, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2, each of the
parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction
of the federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware in the event
any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to
deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave
from any such court, and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action
relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this

Delaware.

RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

10.8.        Waiver
of Conditions.  No claim or right
arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement

renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other party.  No waiver that may be given by a party will
be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given.  No notice to or demand on one party will be
deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the right of the
party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or
demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this
Agreement.

 

(b)           Except as otherwise set forth herein,
the rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and not alternative.
Except where a specific period for action or inaction is provided herein,
neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party in exercising any
right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the
part of any party of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or
privilege.  The failure of a party to
exercise any right conferred herein within the time required shall cause such
right to terminate with respect to the transaction or circumstances giving rise
to such right, but not to any such right arising as a result of any other
transactions or circumstances.

 

10.9.        Transaction
Expenses.  Subject to Section 7.1,

drafted by each of the parties hereto jointly, and no rule of construction
shall be invoked respecting the authorship hereof.

 

10.11.      Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions
contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, such provision or provisions shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating
the remainder of such provision or provisions or the remaining provisions of
this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions had never been contained
herein, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

document signed by the parties hereto.

understandings, writings or oral promises or representations that are at odds

2.7.                              Allocation of Purchase
Price.  The Purchase Price paid by
the Buyers (including any adjustments thereto) shall be allocated 58% to the
Millennium Units and 42% to the HoldCo Units and Blocker Option Agreement.  With respect to that portion of the Purchase
Price (including any adjustments thereto) allocated to the HoldCo Units and
Blocker Option Agreement, the parties are not agreeing to a further allocation
between the HoldCo Units and Blocker Option Agreement, and no inference is to
be drawn from the respective amounts paid by the Buyers.  With respect to that portion of the Purchase
Price (including any adjustments thereto) allocated to the Millennium Units,
such amount shall be allocated among Millennium’s interest in the various
assets of the Company as provided in Treasury Regulations Section §1.755-1
taking into account that pursuant to Section 7.10(a) of this
Agreement there will be an election under Section 754 of the Code in
effect for the Company taxable year that includes the Closing Date that will
require an adjustment to the basis of Company assets under Section 743(b) of
the Code to be made; provided, however, that the Buyers and Millennium shall
agree upon the amounts allocated to Millennium’s interest in Company unrealized
receivables and inventory items, as described in Sections 751(c) and (d) of
the Code and shall file all Tax Returns consistently with the amount allocated
to Millennium’s interest in such Company unrealized receivables and inventory
items.  Within thirty (30) days after the
Closing Date, Millennium shall propose and deliver to the Buyers a preliminary
allocation of the Purchase Price paid for the Millennium Units that is allocated
to Millennium’s interest in Company unrealized receivables and inventory items
(the “Hot Asset Allocation”).  The
Buyers shall have ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Hot Asset
Allocation to give written notice to Millennium of its disagreement with the
Hot Asset Allocation (with such notice so timely delivered referred to herein
as a “Hot Asset Allocation Notice of Disagreement”).  Any Hot Asset Allocation Notice of
Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the basis and amount of any
disagreement.  The Hot Asset Allocation
shall become final if the Buyers do not deliver to Millennium a valid Hot Asset
Allocation Notice of Disagreement within the allotted time period.  During the thirty 

 

26

 

(30) days
immediately following delivery of the Hot Asset Allocation Notice of
Disagreement, the Buyers and Millennium shall seek in good faith to resolve in
writing any differences which they may have with respect to any matter
specified in the Hot Asset Allocation Notice of Disagreement.  Within ten (10) Business Days after the
end of such thirty (30) day period, or such longer period as may be mutually
agreed in writing, the Buyers, on the one hand, and Millennium, on the other
hand, shall submit for review and resolution by an independent accounting firm
jointly selected by the Buyers and Millennium (the “Allocation Accounting
Firm”) any and all matters which remain in dispute and relate solely to
matters included in the Hot Asset Allocation Notice of Disagreement.  The Allocation Accounting Firm shall be
directed to make a final determination within thirty (30) days of the deadline
for submissions as set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the
proper allocation of the disputed items which determination shall be final, conclusive
and binding on the parties.  If the
Buyers and Millennium are unable to agree on an independent accounting firm,
then each shall pick an independent accounting firm and the two accounting
firms shall choose the accounting firm to serve as the “Allocation Accounting
Firm” hereunder.  The fees and
disbursements of the Allocation Accounting Firm shall be shared equally by the
Buyers, on the one hand, and Millennium, on the other hand.  Each of the Buyers and Millennium agrees that
it will not take any position with any Tax Authority or on any Tax Returns that
is contrary to the final Hot Asset Allocation.

Buyers or the Parent, threatened, against any of the Buyers or any of its
assets, other than claims, actions or proceedings that, individually or in the
aggregate, are not material to its ability to perform its obligations hereunder

performance of this Agreement by the Buyers. 
Neither any Buyer nor the Parent nor any of their respective
Subsidiaries or Affiliates is a party to or subject to the provisions of any
Order of any Governmental Entity including any Gaming Authority, which

warranties of the Sellers contained in this Agreement are true and correct in
all material respects, at and immediately after the Closing, and after giving
effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Companies will be
solvent (in that both the fair value of its assets will not be less than the
sum of its debts and that the present fair saleable value of its assets will
not be less than the amount required to pay its probable liabilities or its
debts as they become absolute and matured); (b) will have adequate capital
and liquidity with which to engage in its business; and (c) will not have
incurred and does not plan to incur debts beyond its ability to pay as they
become absolute and matured.

 

6.11.        No
Other Representations or Warranties. 
Except for the representations and warranties expressly made by the
Buyers and the Parent in this Article 6 or in the Escrow Agreement,
neither the Parent nor the Buyers make any other representation or warranty in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each of the Buyers and the Parent acknowledge
that the Sellers, the Companies and their respective Affiliates and
Representatives have not made and do not make any representations or warranties
as to any matter whatsoever except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and
specifically (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing) that the
Sellers, the Companies and their respective Affiliates and Representatives have
not made and do not make any representations with respect to (i) any
projections, estimates or budgets delivered to or made available to the Parent
or the Buyers (or their respective Affiliates or Representatives) of future
revenues, results of operations (or any components thereof), cash flows or
financial condition (or any components thereof) of the Companies or (ii) the
future business and operations of the Companies.  Except for the representations and warranties
expressly made by the Sellers in Article 4, Article 5
or in the Escrow Agreement, none of the Sellers or any Affiliates or any of
their Representatives will have

or be subject to any
liability to the Buyers, the Parent or any other person resulting from the

use of, any such information, including any memoranda or materials distributed
on behalf of the Sellers relating to the Companies or other publications or
data room information provided to the Buyers, the Parent or their
Representatives, or any other document or information in any form provided to

orders from all Governmental Entities (including Gaming Authorities) or other
Persons, including any licenses, permits, approvals, authorizations,

exemptions issued by any Gaming Authority required to permit the 

 

58

 

parties hereto
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or necessary to
permit the Buyers to own and operate the Companies (collectively, “Gaming
Approvals”), provided, however, that in no event shall the Companies be
required to pay, prior to the Closing, any fee, penalty or other consideration
to obtain any consent, approval or waiver required for the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than de minimis amounts.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the
foregoing, each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing, if required,
of any HSR Notification with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement within one (1) Business Day following the Exercise Date and to

waiting period under the HSR Act as promptly as reasonably practicable.

 

(b)           Following the
Effective Date, each of the Parent and the Buyers, on the one hand, and the
Sellers and CCR, on the other hand, shall, in connection with the efforts
referenced in Section 7.4(a) to obtain all requisite approvals
and authorizations for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, use its
reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other
in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any
investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private
party; (ii) keep the other party reasonably informed of any communication
received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Federal Trade
Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of
Justice (the “DOJ”), or any other Governmental Entity and of any
communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private
party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) permit
the other party to review any communication given by it to, and consult with
each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ, or
any other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a
private party, with any other person, and to the extent permitted by the FTC,
the DOJ, or such other applicable Governmental Entity or other person, give the
other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and
conferences.

 

(c)           In furtherance and
not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Section 7.4(a) and
Section 7.4(b), if any objections are asserted with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby under any Law or if any suit is instituted (or
threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ, or any other applicable
Governmental Entity or any private party challenging any of the transactions
contemplated hereby as violative of any material Law or which would otherwise
prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, each of the parties shall use its reasonable
best efforts to resolve any such objections or suits so as to permit consummation
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably
practicable.

 

(d)           In the event that
any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or
threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or private party
challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the
parties shall cooperate in all respects 

 

59

 

with each
other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any
such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned
any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary
or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits or materially restricts or
delays consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, each of the Sellers and CCR shall, and shall
cause its respective directors, officers, employees and Subsidiaries to, use
their respective reasonable best efforts in working with the Parent, the Buyers
and their counsel to obtain the Gaming Approvals; provided that nothing
contained herein shall require any expenditure by the Companies (other than any
expenditures relating to counsel fees of such parties).

 

(f)            The Sellers agree
to use their reasonable best efforts to (i) continue to cause CCR and the
other Companies to maintain any licenses required under applicable Gaming Laws
with respect to the operation of the Business, including obtaining or renewing
all other licenses, permits, approvals, authorizations, registrations, findings
of suitability, entitlements, waivers and exemptions issued in connection with
such licenses and necessary to continue to operate the Business and (ii) pursuing
any renewal application process applicable to such licenses, including any
follow-up submissions and requests.  .

 

(g)           Between the Exercise
Date and the Closing Date, the Sellers and CCR shall, and shall cause each of
the other Companies and their respective directors, managers, members,
officers, employees and agents to, afford the employees, authorized agents and
Representatives of the Parent and the Buyers access, during normal business
hours, to the offices, personnel, premises, properties, Contracts, books and records,
and other documents and financial, operating, construction status and other
data of the Companies as the Buyers may reasonably request; provided that the
Buyers shall not engage in any environmental testing with respect to any of the
Companies’ Owned Real Property or property subject to Real Property Leases
without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or conditioned. 
The foregoing shall not require the Sellers or any Company to permit any
inspection, or to disclose any information, to the extent that in their
reasonable judgment is reasonably likely to result in waiver of any
attorney-client privilege or the disclosure of any trade secrets of third
parties or violate any of their obligations with respect to confidentiality if
the Sellers or such Company, as the case may be, shall have used reasonable
efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such inspection or
disclosure and have used reasonable efforts to implement requisite procedures to
enable access to such information without violating such obligations.  No investigation by the parties or their
respective Representatives shall affect the representations or warranties of
the other set forth herein, and disclosure of any report to the Sellers shall
not effect the knowledge of the Sellers if they were not aware of the facts
described in such report.

 

(h)           From the Exercise
Date until the Closing Date, if any counterparty to any Material Contract
specified in Schedule 7.4(h) (the “Specified Material Contracts”)
notifies any Seller or any Company party thereto, claiming a breach, a default,
or the right to declare a default, under such Specified Material Contract as a
result of the failure by such Seller or such Company to obtain the consent or
approval of such counterparty to the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
each of the Sellers and CCR shall, or shall cause the applicable Company to,
resolve 

 

60

 

such claim as
promptly as reasonably practicable by mutual agreement with such counterparty
that no such consent or approval was required or to obtain appropriate
consents, amendments or waivers under such Specified Material Contract to
resolve such claim.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, CCR shall, or shall cause the
applicable Company to, pay any fees, costs and expenses payable or incurred in
connection with resolving such claim or obtaining such consent, amendment or
waiver (including all consent fees required by the applicable counterparty to
such Specified Material Contract), and each of the Sellers and CCR shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and
against any and all Damages (without duplication) incurred by any of them
arising out of, relating to or in connection with any claim by a counterparty
for breach of any such Specified Material Contract due to the failure to have
obtained the consent or approval of any counterparty to the execution and/or
delivery of this Agreement, or any action taken by any Seller or CCR pursuant
to this Section 7.4(h). 
Neither any Buyer nor the Parent shall be entitled to assert a breach of
any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Sellers or CCR in this
Agreement due to a claim by any counterparty to any Specified Material Contract
as a result of the failure by any Seller or any Company to obtain the consent
or approval of such counterparty to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement.

 

7.5.          Updates to Disclosure Schedules.

 

(a)           If the Buyers
deliver the Conditional Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 2.3,
within twenty (20) Business Days of delivery of the Conditional Exercise
Notice, the Sellers shall deliver to the Buyers in writing supplemental
disclosure schedules (the “Supplemental Disclosure Schedules”). The
Supplemental Disclosure Schedules shall replace the original schedules, with
the intention of the parties that no liability shall attach to Sellers or CCR
as a result of any changes to the Sellers Disclosure Schedules reflected in the
Supplemental Disclosure Schedules, except with respect to the Company Execution
Reps.

 

(b)           In the event that
the Sellers or CCR become aware (i) of facts or circumstances that should
have been included on the Supplemental Sellers Disclosure Schedules in order
for the Sellers’ and/or CCR’s representations and warranties to be true and
accurate as of the date of the delivery of the Supplemental Disclosure
Schedules but were not so included (“Omitted Items”) and/or (ii) that
any representation and warranty that was true and accurate as of the date of
the delivery of the Supplemental Disclosure Schedules becomes untrue or
inaccurate due to events occurring or circumstances arising from the date of
the delivery of the Supplemental Disclosure Schedules (“Pre-Closing Events”),
the Sellers and CCR may deliver to the Buyers in writing supplemental
disclosure schedules setting forth the additions or changes to the Supplemental
Disclosure Schedules that are required to reflect such Omitted Items and/or Pre-Closing
Events (the “Final Disclosure Schedules”).  The Supplemental Disclosure Schedules, as
supplemented by the Final Disclosure Schedules, shall be deemed to modify the
applicable representation and warranty set forth in this Agreement for purposes
of determining whether the condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) shall
have been satisfied as of the Closing Date and shall be deemed to cure breaches
of representations and warranties as described in the Supplemental Disclosure
Schedules for purposes of indemnification by the Sellers pursuant to this
Agreement, including in accordance with Section 7.10 and Article 10.

 

61

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, after the Final Sellers Disclosure Schedules
are delivered in accordance with this Section 7.5, the Buyers may
rescind the Final Exercise Notice within five (5) Business Days of the
delivery of the Final Disclosure Schedules and such Final Exercise Notice shall
be void and of no force or effect and the Buyers shall have no further
obligations under this Agreement.

 

7.6.                              Notifications to
Buyers.  From the Exercise Date until
the Closing Date, the Parent and the Buyers, on the one hand, and the Sellers
and CCR, on the other hand, shall promptly notify each other of (i) any
Actions commenced or, to the knowledge of such party, threatened, against the
Sellers, Blocker, AcquisitionCo or any Company or any of their respective
Affiliates or directors, managers, members, officers, directors, employees or
agents in their capacity as such or, to the extent that such Actions relate to
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Parent
or the Buyers or any of their Affiliates or directors, managers, members,
officers, directors, employees or agents in their capacity as such and (ii) the
occurrence or non-occurrence of any fact or event that, in either case, would
be reasonably likely to cause any condition set forth in Article 8
not to be satisfied; provided, that no such notification, nor the
obligation to make such notification, shall affect the representations,
warranties, covenants or indemnification obligations of any Party or the conditions
to the obligations of any Party, or cure any breach by any Party of this
Agreement, or limit or otherwise affect the termination rights, indemnification
rights or other remedies available under this Agreement to the Party receiving
such notice.

 

7.7.                              No Alternative
Transactions.  Until the expiration
of the Exercise Period, the parties agree that none of the Sellers, Blocker,
AcquisitionCo or the Companies shall and each of the Sellers and the Companies
shall require its respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate,
solicit, encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiry, proposal, offer or
discussion with any party (other than the Parent or the Buyers) concerning any
merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, business combination,
liquidation, dissolution, share exchange, sale of stock, sale or license of
material assets or similar business transaction involving any of the Companies,
(ii) furnish any non-public information concerning the business,
properties or assets of any of the Companies to any party (other than the
Parent or the Buyers) in connection with any such transaction, or (iii) engage
in discussions or negotiations with any party (other than with the Parent or
the Buyers) with respect to, or consummate, any such transaction, or (iv) enter
into, approve, agree to, recommend or consummate any such transaction.

 

7.8.                              Publicity.  Any press
release or release of other information to the press or any other Person with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be mutually approved by
the Buyers and the Sellers, except as may be required by (i) any
Gaming Law or other applicable Law, Authorization, court process or (ii) obligations
pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange
or interdealer quotation service in the United States or Australia; provided,
however, the disclosing party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide prior notice to and consult with the non-disclosing party.  The Buyers and the Parent acknowledge that
HoldCo has filing obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K after the signing of
this Agreement.

 

62

 

7.9.                              Intentionally Omitted.

 

7.10.                        Tax Matters.

(i)                                     After the Closing Date, HoldCo shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and
against and in respect of all Damages (without duplication) incurred or paid by
any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of, relating to or resulting
from (a) Taxes imposed on Blocker or AcquisitionCo for taxable periods
ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Periods”) and, with
respect to any period that begins on or before and that ends after the Closing
Date (in each case, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of such Straddle
Period deemed to end on and include the Closing Date; (b) Taxes imposed on
Blocker or AcquisitionCo as a result of the LandCo Disposition; (c) any
breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.2(f) (without
regard to any “materiality” modifier); (d) Taxes imposed on any of Blocker
or AcquisitionCo under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (and all
corresponding provisions of state, local, or foreign Law) as a result of being
a member of any consolidated, unitary, combined or similar group for any
Pre-Closing Period or portion of any Straddle Period deemed to end on and
include the Closing Date; and (e) the breach or nonperformance of any
covenant or agreement on the part of HoldCo or Blocker or AcquisitionCo with
respect to Taxes set forth in this Section 7.10. Any cash left in
Blocker or AcquisitionCo at Closing shall be credited against any HoldCo
indemnification obligation arising under this Section 7.10.

 

(ii)                                  After the Closing Date, the Sellers shall
jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified
Parties from and against and in respect of all Damages (without
duplication)  incurred or paid by any of

breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.11
(without regard to any “materiality” modifier); (c) Taxes imposed on any
of the Companies under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (and all

include the Closing Date; and (d) the breach or nonperformance of any
covenant or agreement on the part of Seller with respect to Taxes set forth in
this Section 7.10 or Section 7.1(s).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers
shall not be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties for Damages
attributable to Non-Income Taxes (but not including Damages attributable to the

attributable to Non-Income Taxes (but not including Damages attributable to the
XpressBet Assessments) exceed $500,000.

 

63

 

(iii)                               After the Closing Date, the Parent and
the Buyers shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Seller Indemnified Parties from and against and in respect of all Damages
(without duplication) incurred or paid by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties
arising out of, relating to or resulting from (a) Taxes imposed on Blocker
AcquisitionCo, or any of the Companies for taxable periods beginning after the
Closing Date (“Post-Closing Periods”) and, with respect to any Straddle
Period, that portion of such Straddle Period deemed to begin immediately after
the Closing Date; and (b) the breach or nonperformance of any covenant or
agreement on the part of Buyers or Parent with respect to Taxes contained in
this Section 7.10 or Section 7.1(s).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent and

(c)                                  Allocation
of Straddle Period Taxes.  In order
to apportion appropriately any Taxes relating to a Straddle Period, the parties
shall, to the extent permitted or required under applicable Law, treat the
Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period of each relevant
entity for all Tax purposes.  In any case
where applicable Law does not permit the parties to treat the Closing Date as
the last day of the taxable year or period, the portion of any Taxes that are
allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date
shall be as follows:

 

(i)                                     Taxes that are imposed on a periodic
basis and not based on income or receipts (e.g., property taxes), shall be
equal to the product of such Taxes attributable to the entire Taxable period
and a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days in such
period that elapsed through the Closing Date and the denominator of which is
the number of days in such Taxable period; provided, however, that, if the
amount of periodic Taxes imposed for such Taxable period reflects different
rates of Tax imposed for different periods within such Taxable period, the
formula described in the preceding clause shall be applied separately with
respect to each such period within the Taxable period; and

 

(ii)                                  Taxes (other than those described in
clause (i)) shall be computed as if such Taxable period ended on and included
the Closing Date.

 

(d)                                 Blocker
Buyer.  Buyers agree that the
purchaser of the HoldCo Units will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation
as a United States “C” Corporation (“Blocker Buyer”) and that Blocker
will join the federal consolidated group of which Blocker Buyer is a member
after the Closing Date, such that Blocker’s federal taxable year will close as
of the Closing Date.

 

(e)                                  Extraordinary
Transactions.

 

(i)                                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, Parent, Buyers and Blocker Buyer jointly and severally agree
to indemnify and hold harmless Seller Indemnified Parties for any Damages
attributable to Taxes resulting from any transaction engaged in by Parent,
Buyers, Blocker Buyer, Blocker, AcquisitionCo or any Company not in the
ordinary course of business, other than payment of the Company Loan Payment
Amount paid by CCR at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i) of
this Agreement and any repayment, or contribution to any of Blocker,
AcqusitionCo or the Companies of the Blocker Note (as such term is defined in Schedule
4.2(e)), occurring on or after the Closing Date after Buyers’ and

 

64

 

Blocker Buyer’s purchase of the Millennium Units, the
HoldCo Units and the Blocker Option Agreement, including any Tax resulting from
the exercise of the Blocker Option Agreement.

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, Parent, Buyers, Blocker Buyer, Blocker, AcquisitionCo, each
Company, and Sellers agree to allocate all transactions not in the ordinary
course of business, other than payment of the Company Loan Payment Amount paid
by CCR at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i) of this
Agreement and any repayment, or contribution to any of Blocker, AcqusitionCo or
the Companies of the Blocker Note (as such term is defined in Schedule
4.2(e)), occurring on or after the Closing Date after Buyers’ and Blocker
Buyer’s purchase of the Millennium Units, the HoldCo Units, and the Blocker
Option Agreement to a Post-Closing Period or, with respect to a Straddle
Period, that portion of such Straddle Period deemed to begin immediately after
the Closing Date, as applicable, and to report such transactions on Buyers’ or
Blocker Buyer’s federal Income Tax Return, as applicable, to the extent
permitted by Treas. Reg. §1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B) or similar principles.

 

(f)                                    Returns.  (i)  After the Closing Date, HoldCo
shall, at its own expense, prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or
cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns for Blocker and AcquisitionCo for all
Pre-Closing Periods, and shall pay all Taxes due for the taxable periods
covered by such Tax Returns.  HoldCo
shall provide Buyers with a copy of such Tax Returns at least thirty (30) days
prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns (after taking into account
any applicable extensions or waivers) (the “HoldCo Due Date”). Buyers
shall provide HoldCo with its comments, if any, to such Tax Returns at least
twenty (20) days prior to the HoldCo Due Date. 
If the Buyers object in good faith to any item reflected on such a Tax
Return, HoldCo and Buyers shall attempt to resolve the disagreement in good
faith.  If the parties are unable to
resolve the disagreement, the dispute shall be referred to an independent
accounting firm jointly selected by the Buyers and the Sellers or, if the Buyers
and the Sellers are unable to agree on such accounting firm within fifteen (15)
days, an independent accounting firm jointly selected within ten (10) days
by the Buyers’ accounting firm and an accounting firm identified by the Sellers
(such firm, the “Independent Accounting Firm”), which shall resolve the
dispute no later than three (3) days prior to the HoldCo Due Date and
whose determination shall be binding on the parties. The fees and expenses of
the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by HoldCo, on the one
hand, and the Buyers, on the other hand. If the dispute has not been resolved
or the Independent Accounting Firm has not made its determination three (3) days
prior to the HoldCo Due Date, such Tax Return shall be filed as originally
proposed by HoldCo, reflecting any items previously objected to by the Buyers
and agreed to by HoldCo.  When the amount
of Taxes due in respect of such Tax Return is finally determined by the
Independent Accounting Firm, a settlement payment shall be made from HoldCo to
the Buyers in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount
finally determined to be due over (ii) the amount of Taxes actually paid
by HoldCo pursuant to this Section 7.10(f)(i) with respect to
such taxable period, or from the Buyers to HoldCo in an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount of Taxes actually paid by HoldCo
pursuant to this Section 7.10(f)(i) with respect to such
taxable period over (ii) the amount finally determined to be due.

 

(ii)                                  After the Closing Date, the Sellers
shall, at Sellers’ own expense, prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file
or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns for the Companies for all
Pre-Closing Periods, and shall pay all Taxes due for the taxable periods

 

65

 

covered by such Tax Returns.  The Sellers shall provide Buyers with a copy
of such Tax Returns at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing
such Tax Returns (after taking into account any applicable extensions or
waivers) (the “Sellers Due Date”). Buyers shall provide the Sellers with
its comments, if any, to such Tax Returns at least twenty (20) days prior to
the Sellers Due Date.  If the Buyers
object in good faith to any item reflected on such a Tax Return, the Sellers
and Buyers shall attempt to resolve the disagreement in good faith.  If the parties are unable to resolve the
disagreement, the dispute shall be referred to the Independent Accounting Firm,
which shall resolve the dispute no later than 3 days prior to the Sellers Due
Date and whose determination shall be binding on the parties The fees and
expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by the
Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyers, on the other hand. If the dispute has
not been resolved or the Independent Accounting Firm has not made its
determination three (3) days prior to the Sellers Due Date, such Tax
Return shall be filed as originally proposed by the Sellers, reflecting any
items previously objected to by the Buyers and agreed to by Sellers.  When the amount of Taxes due in respect of
such Tax Return is finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm, a
settlement payment shall be made from the Sellers to the Buyers in an amount
equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount finally determined to be
due over (ii) the amount of Taxes actually paid by the Sellers pursuant to
this Section 7.10(f)(ii) with respect to such taxable period,
or from the Buyers to the Sellers in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of Taxes actually paid by HoldCo pursuant to this Section 7.10(f)(ii) with
respect to such taxable period over (ii) the amount finally determined to
be due.

 

(iii)                               The Buyers shall, at their own expense,
prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all
Tax Returns for Blocker, AcquisitionCo, and the Companies for all Straddle
Periods.  The Buyers shall provide HoldCo
or the Sellers, as applicable, with a copy of such Tax Returns at least thirty
(30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns (after taking into
account any applicable extensions or waivers) (the “Buyers Due Date”).  HoldCo or the Sellers, as applicable, shall
provide the Buyers with comments to such Returns, if any, at least twenty (20)
days prior to the Buyers Due Date.  HoldCo and the Sellers, as the case may be,
shall pay to the Buyers all Taxes for which Holdco or the Sellers are liable
pursuant to Section 7.10 hereof with respect to any such Tax Return
promptly upon the written request of the Buyers (the “Buyer Requested Amount”),
setting forth in detail the computation of the amount owed.  If HoldCo or the Sellers, as applicable,
objects in good faith to any item reflected on such a Tax Return, HoldCo or the
Sellers, as applicable, and Buyers shall attempt to resolve the disagreement in
good faith.  If the parties are unable to

Accounting Firm, which shall resolve the dispute no later than three (3) days
prior to the Buyers Due Date and whose determination shall be binding on the
parties.  The fees and expenses of the
Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by HoldCo or the Sellers, as
applicable, on the one hand, and the Buyers, on the other hand.  If the dispute has not been resolved or the
Independent Accounting Firm has not made its determination three (3) days
prior to the Buyers Due Date, such Tax Return shall be filed as originally
proposed by the Buyers, reflecting any items previously objected to by HoldCo
or the Sellers, as the case may be and agreed to by the Buyers, and HoldCo or
the Sellers, as applicable, shall pay to the Buyers the Buyer Requested
Amount.  When the amount due to the
Buyers from HoldCo or the Sellers, as applicable, in respect of such Tax Return
is finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm, a settlement payment
shall be made from HoldCo or the Sellers, as applicable, to the Buyers in an
amount equal to the

 

66

 

excess, if any, of (i) the amount finally
determined to be due over (ii) the Buyer Requested Amount, or from the
Buyers to HoldCo or the Sellers, as applicable, in an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of (i) the Buyer Requested Amount over (ii) the
amount finally determined to be due.

 

(iv)                              All Tax Returns described in this Section 7.10(f) shall
be prepared in accordance with past custom and practice of Blocker,
AcquisitionCo, and the Companies, as applicable, in preparing their Tax
Returns, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 7.10(j) shall
exclusively govern the filing of Transfer Tax Returns and payment of Transfer
Taxes.

 

(g)                                 Refunds
and Tax Benefits. Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyers,
AcquisitionCo, Blocker or any Company, and any amounts credited against Taxes

relate to Pre-Closing Periods, or, with respect to any Straddle Period, to the
portion of such Straddle Period deemed to end on and include the Closing Date
and which relates solely to Blocker, AcquisitionCo or the Companies (and not
Buyers or any of their Affiliates), shall be for the account of Sellers, and

to the operations or activities of AcquisitionCo, Blocker, or any Company (i) in
any Post-Closing Period or in that portion of any Straddle Period deemed to
begin immediately after the Closing Date, or (ii) in any Pre-Closing
Period or in that portion of a Straddle Period deemed to end on and include the
Closing Date to the extent such refund relates or is attributable to the
carryback of any credit, loss, deduction or other Tax item arising in or
attributable to any Post-Closing Period or in that portion of any Straddle
Period deemed to begin immediately after the Closing Date shall be for the
account of the Buyers. In addition, refunds of Taxes paid by Buyers pursuant to

Proceedings.

 

(i)                                     If any third party shall notify any of
the Buyer Indemnified Parties of any audit, litigation, request for payment or
other proceeding with respect to Taxes or other payments that may give rise to
indemnity under this Section 7.10 (each, a “Tax Proceeding”),
such Buyer Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen
(15) Business Days after receiving notice of the Tax Proceeding) notify HoldCo
or the Sellers, as applicable, thereof in writing; provided, however, that
failure to give such timely notification shall not affect the indemnification
provided under this Section 7.10, except to the extent HoldCo or
the Sellers, as applicable,  shall have
been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

 

(ii)                                  To the extent that any Tax Proceeding
involves a claim for Taxes of, or payments relating to, Blocker, AcquisitionCo
or the Companies for any Pre-Closing Period, HoldCo or the Sellers, as the case
may be, shall at their own expense control the conduct of such Tax
Proceeding.  HoldCo or the Sellers, as
applicable, shall (i) consult in good faith with the Buyer Indemnified
Parties before taking any significant action in connection with the Tax Proceeding
that may materially adversely affect the Buyer Indemnified Parties, (ii) consult
in

 

67

 

good faith with the Buyer Indemnified Parties and
offer the Buyer Indemnified Parties a reasonable opportunity to comment before
submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection with the

the extent such materials concern matters in the Tax Proceeding that may
materially adversely affect the Buyer Indemnified Parties, (iii) conduct
the Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith, (iv) not pay, discharge,
settle, compromise, litigate, or otherwise dispose (collectively, “dispose”) of
any item subject to such Tax Proceeding to the extent such item may materially
adversely affect the Buyer Indemnified Parties without obtaining the prior
written consent of the Buyer Indemnified Parties; which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (v) if applicable, pay
the Buyer Indemnified Parties their allocable share, as provided for in this
section, of the amount of Taxes or payments due pursuant to such disposition
within five (5) Business Days of the due date of the payment of such
amount.

 

(iii)                               To the extent that any Tax Proceeding
involves Taxes of Blocker, AcquisitionCo or the Companies for any Straddle
Periods or Post-Closing Periods, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall at their
own expense control the conduct of such Tax Proceeding. The Buyer Indemnified
Parties shall (i) consult in good faith with HoldCo or the Sellers, as
applicable, before taking any significant action in connection with the Tax
Proceeding that may materially adversely affect the Seller Indemnified Parties,
(ii) consult in good faith with HoldCo or the Sellers, as applicable, and
offer HoldCo or the Sellers, as applicable, a reasonable opportunity to comment
before submitting any written materials prepared or furnished in connection

request) to the extent such materials concern matters in the Tax Proceeding that
may materially adversely affect the Seller Indemnified Parties, (iii) conduct
the Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith, (iv) use reasonable best
efforts to provide HoldCo and Sellers, as applicable, with an opportunity to
attend at their own expense, as an observer, settlement discussions and other
conferences and meetings relating thereto to the extent such item may
materially adversely affect the Seller Indemnified Parties, and (v) not
pay, discharge, settle, compromise, litigate, or otherwise dispose
(collectively, “dispose”) of any item subject to such Tax Proceeding to the
extent such item may materially adversely affect the Seller Indemnified Parties
without obtaining the prior written consent of HoldCo or the Sellers, as
applicable, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. HoldCo or the Sellers, as applicable, shall pay the Buyer Indemnified
Parties their allocable share, as provided for in this section, of the amount
of Taxes or payments due pursuant to such disposition within five (5) Business
Days of the due date of the payment of such amount.

 

(i)                                     Tax
Sharing Agreements.  All Tax sharing
agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving Blocker,
AcquisitionCo or the Companies shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and,
after the Closing Date, none of Blocker, AcquisitionCo  or the Companies shall be bound thereby or
have any liability thereunder.

 

(j)                                     Transfer
Taxes.  Except with respect to the
Pennsylvania Gaming Fee, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp,
registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and
interest) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be paid 50% by the Buyers, on the one hand, and 50% by the
Sellers, on the

 

68

 

other hand.  If the Pennsylvania Gaming Fee shall become
due as a result of the sale from the Sellers to the Buyers of WTA, such fee
shall be split equally between the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyers, on
the other hand.  The Buyers will, at
their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with
respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and
other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, the Sellers will join
in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.  The Sellers shall pay to the Buyers, no later
than five (5) days before the due date of any Taxes described in this Section 7.10(j),
Sellers’ share of such Taxes, and the Buyer shall pay the full amount of such
Taxes owed to the appropriate Tax Authority.

 

(k)                                  Certain
Amended Returns.  The Buyers,
AcquisitionCo and Blocker shall not amend, or cause to be amended, any material
Tax Return with respect to Income Taxes that includes the period that includes
the LandCo Disposition without the approval of HoldCo, if such amendment would
give rise to an indemnification obligation on the part of HoldCo pursuant to Section 7.10(c)(i) of
this Agreement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

(l)                                     Cooperation.  The Buyers and Blocker and AcquisitionCo on
the one hand, and HoldCo and the Sellers on the other hand, shall cooperate
fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in
connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 7.10
and any Tax Proceeding subject to Section 7.10(h) and shall
provide prompt notice to the other party of any notice received from any Tax
Authority that could reasonably affect the Tax liability of such other
party.  Such cooperation shall include
the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and
information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Proceeding  and filing of Returns and making employees available
on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and
explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Buyers, Blocker,
AcquisitionCo, HoldCo, and the Sellers shall each preserve and keep all books
and records with respect to Taxes and Tax Returns of Blocker, AcquisitionCo,
and the Companies in such party’s possession as of the Closing Date, or as
later come into such party’s possession, until the expiration of the applicable
statute of limitations and shall give reasonable written notice to the other
party prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such information,
returns, books, records or documents and, if the other party so requests, allow
the other party to take possession of such information, returns, books, records
or documents.  The party requesting
assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred in providing such assistance.  The Buyers and Blocker and AcquisitionCo on
the one hand, and HoldCo and the Sellers on the other hand, further agree, upon
request, to use their reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other
document from any Tax Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to
mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

 

(m)                               Except
for matters set forth on Schedule 7.10 of the Sellers Disclosure
Schedules or as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, without the
prior written consent of the Buyers (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed), each of Blocker and AcquisitionCo from the
date hereof until the Closing Date shall not: (i) make, amend or revoke
any material Tax election, (ii) settle or compromise any material Tax
liability, claim or assessment, or agree to any adjustment of any material Tax
attribute, (iii) file any amended material Tax Return, (iv) enter
into any material “closing agreement” within the

 

69

 

meaning of Section 7121 of
the Code (or any material comparable agreement under state, local or foreign
law), (v) surrender any right to claim a material Tax refund, (vi) consent
to waive any statute of limitations with respect to material Taxes.

 

(n)                                 Survival.  The indemnification obligations pursuant to
this Section 7.10 shall survive the Closing until ninety (90) days
following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including
any extensions thereof) relevant to each particular item provided that if
notice of indemnification under Section 7.10 is provided to the
indemnifying party, as applicable, prior to any such expiration date, any
obligation to indemnify for any claim described in such notice shall continue
indefinitely until such claim is finally resolved.  For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the representations set forth in Section 4.2(f) and
Section 5.11 of this Agreement shall survive until 90 days after
the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation.

 

(o)                                 Exclusivity.  Except as otherwise provided in Article 10,
all issues relating to Tax matters associated with Blocker, AcquisitionCo, and
the Companies shall be governed exclusively by the provisions of this Section 7.10.  Principles equivalent to Section 10.3(d) and
(e) shall apply for purposes of this Section 7.10.

 

7.11.                        LandCo Disposition.  Following the Exercise Date and prior to the
Closing, HoldCo shall cause (i) all of the equity interests in LandCo or (ii) all
of the assets and liabilities of LandCo, to be sold or otherwise transferred to
a third party that will be unaffiliated with CCR after the Closing; provided,
Bill Wortman and any entities that he controls or is affiliated with shall not
be considered an Affiliate of the Companies after the Closing.  In the event that the assets and liabilities
of LandCo are sold or otherwise transferred, then HoldCo shall cause LandCo to
either be liquidated or otherwise removed as a direct or indirect subsidiary of
Blocker and AcquisitionCo.  The
agreements and arrangements relating to the sale or transfer of such interests,
or assets and liabilities, shall include a full and unconditional release and
indemnification of each of the Companies, which shall survive the Closing, for
any and all Liabilities of, or arising in connection with or related to, LandCo
including all Liabilities of the Companies under the existing Nevada Palace
lease, but excluding any Liabilities arising after the Closing under the
Amended Nevada Palace Lease.  The
transactions described in the previous two sentences shall be referred to as
the “LandCo Disposition.”

 

7.12.                        Excluded Opportunities.  The Buyers acknowledge that neither any Buyer
nor its Affiliates nor the Companies has any right, title or interest to the
gaming opportunity at Rockingham Park in New Hampshire (the “Rockingham
Opportunity”), the gaming opportunity at Tejon Ranch in California (the “Tejon
Opportunity”), any other Excluded Opportunity or the agreement set forth on
Schedule 7.12 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedules.  The agreements and arrangements relating to
the transfer of the assets, liabilities, contracts and agreements related to
each Excluded Opportunity shall include a full and unconditional release and
indemnification of each of the Companies, which shall survive the Closing, for
any and all Liabilities of, or arising in connection with or related to, the
Excluded Opportunities.  Any moneys
received by the Companies on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to
receivables related to the Rockingham Opportunity may be included in the
Company Loan Amount and/or applied to repay any of the Debt Facilities or may
reduce the amount of the Remaining Accrued Liabilities.  The Parent and the Buyers acknowledge and
agree that nothing contained herein shall (i) prevent CCR or the

 

70

 

Companies from developing the Excluded Opportunities or incurring costs
and expenses with respect to such development prior to the Closing, so long as CCR
and the Companies do not retain any obligations or Liabilities with respect to
such Excluded Opportunities following the Closing or (ii) obligate HoldCo
or any Affiliate of Oaktree Capital Management (other than Millennium and the
Companies) to present any gaming opportunities to CCR, Parent or the Buyers.

 

7.13.                        Assistance and Records.  If the Closing occurs, the Buyers shall
retain, and cause each Company to retain, all books and records relating to the
conduct of the Business prior to the Closing Date for a period of at least six
years from the date hereof.  The Sellers
and their Representatives shall have the right during business hours, upon
reasonable notice to the Buyers, to inspect and make copies of any such records
in order to prepare its financial statements, Tax returns and other documents
and reports that the Sellers or any of their Affiliates are required to file
with Governmental Entities or any stock exchange on which their securities may
be listed, all at the sole cost and expense of the Seller(s) requesting
such records.

 

7.14.                        Guarantee.

 

(a)                                  The
Parent absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Sellers
the due and punctual observance, performance and discharge of all of the
covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Buyers pursuant to
this Agreement, whether fixed, contingent, now existing or hereafter arising,
created, assumed, incurred or acquired from the Exercise Date through the
Closing Date (the “Obligations”).

 

(b)                                 The
Parent agrees that the obligations of the Parent hereunder shall not be
released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the
failure of the Sellers to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or
remedy against the any of Buyers, (ii) any change in the time, place or
manner of payment of any of the Obligations or any rescission, waiver,
compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the
terms of provisions of this Agreement, (iii) any change in the corporate
existence, structure or ownership of any of the Buyers, (iv) any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting
any of the Buyers, (v) any lack of validity or enforceability of this
Agreement, (vi) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which
the Parent may have at any time against the Sellers or any of the Buyers,
whether in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, and (vii) any
other act or omission which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk
of the Parent or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of the Parent, all
of which may be done without notice to the Parent.  The Sellers shall not be bound or obliged to
exhaust their recourse against the Buyers or pursue any other remedy whatsoever
before being entitled to demand the satisfaction of the Obligations by the
Parent hereunder.  To the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Parent hereby expressly waives any and all rights or
defenses arising by reason of any law which would otherwise require any
election of remedies by the Sellers.  The
Parent acknowledges that it will receive substantially direct and indirect
benefits from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the
waivers set forth herein are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parent’s obligations under
this guarantee shall be subject to any and all claims, defenses, setoffs or
other rights of or available to the Buyers.

 

71

 

(c)                                  This
guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding on the
Parent, its successors and assigns until all of the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid, observed, performed or satisfied in full.

 

7.15.                        Intentionally Omitted.

 

7.16.                        Intentionally Omitted.

7.18.                        Intentionally Omitted.

 

7.19.                        No Assignment if Breach.

 

(a)                                  Following
the Exercise Date, the Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain all consents listed on Schedule 7.19 of the Sellers Disclosure
Schedules.  Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not
constitute an agreement to effect a change in, or transfer, assign or assume,
any Contract, if the attempted change in, or transfer, assignment or assumption
of the same, as a result of the absence of the consent or authorization of a
third party, would constitute a breach or default under any Contract, would
violate any Law or would materially increase the obligations of the Buyers or
the Sellers with respect thereto.  If any
such consent or authorization is not obtained, then the Buyers and the Sellers
shall enter into such cooperative arrangements as may be reasonably acceptable
to the Buyers and the Sellers, but which shall not, in any event, result in a
breach or default under any Contract, violate any Law or materially increase
the obligations of the Buyers or the Sellers with respect thereto.

 

(b)                                 In
the event that the consent for the Contract identified on Schedule 7.19(b) of
the Sellers Disclosure Schedules is not obtained from the relevant third party
prior to Closing then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by $25,000,000
(Twenty-five Million Dollars) (the “Property Adjustment Amount”);
provided, that upon any such reduction, any rights and interests in such
Contract and the operations located at the premises that are the subject of
such Contract (if any) shall be retained by the Sellers or an Affiliate
thereof; provided, further, that any termination payment paid or payable with
respect to such Contract shall be for the account of the Sellers.

 

Commencing as
soon as practicable following the Exercise Date and continuing until the
earlier to occur of Closing or the receipt of the “Consent and Estoppel
Certificates” and “NDAs” (as defined below), the Sellers shall use commercially
reasonable efforts (a) to cause the sublandlord and prime landlord to
execute and deliver any consents of the sublandlord and the prime landlord
required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as
well as estoppel certificates from the sublandlord and prime landlord
(collectively, the “Consent and Estoppel Certificates”), and (b) if
there are any feehold or leasehold mortgage(s) or deed(s) of trust
encumbering the interest(s) of the sublandlord or the prime landlord in
the premises described by the Contract identified on Schedule 7.19(b),
to obtain fully executed nondisturbance agreements from the mortgagees or
beneficiaries thereof (the “NDAs”), in each case in form and substance
acceptable to the Buyers, such acceptance not to be unreasonably conditioned,
withheld or delayed.  The Buyers shall
reasonably cooperate in the Sellers’ efforts to obtain such

 

72

 

Consent and Estoppel Certificates and NDAs,
and such cooperation shall include (x) providing such information
regarding the Buyers or Parent and their respective personnel, plans for the
premises described by the Contract identified on Schedule 7.19(b) or
casino operations as reasonably requested by prime landlord or sublandlord and (y) executing
any amendments to the Contract identified on Schedule 7.19(b) or
other documents or agreements that are not materially adverse to the
sublandlord or to the Buyers or their Affiliates.  In the event the Consent and Estoppel
Certificates (and the NDAs, if applicable) are delivered to the Buyers prior to
Closing, the Purchase Price shall not be reduced by the Property Adjustment
Amount.

 

7.20.                        FIRPTA Certificates.

 

(a)                                  At
the Closing, the Buyers shall have received from Holdco a duly executed
certificate (“FIRPTA Certificate”) that complies with the requirements
of either Section 1445(b)(2) or Section 1445(b)(3) of the
Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder; notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if Holdco fails to deliver a FIRPTA
Certificate, the parties shall proceed with the Closing and the Buyers shall be
entitled to withhold the amount required to be withheld pursuant to Section 1445
of the Code from the Purchase Price.

 

(b)                                 At
the Closing, the Buyers shall have received from Millennium a duly executed
FIRPTA Certificate that complies with the requirements of either Section 1445(b)(2) or
Section 1445(e)(5) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder; notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Millennium
fails to deliver a FIRPTA Certificate, the parties shall proceed with the
Closing and the Buyers shall be entitled to withhold the amount required to be
withheld pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code from the Purchase Price.

 

7.21.                        Repayment of Loan
Obligations.

 

(a)                                  If
the Option is exercised, the Sellers shall deliver to the Buyers, not less than
five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a statement which shall
set forth a reasonably detailed good faith estimate, as of the Closing Date, of
the calculation of the Loan Payoff Amount.

 

(b)                                 If
the Option is exercised, at or prior to the Closing, in connection with the
foregoing and with respect to any Encumbrances on any assets of the Companies
that in whole or in part were security for the Debt Facilities (the “Company
Liens”), each of the Sellers and CCR shall, and shall cause each of the
other Companies to, negotiate and enter into appropriate agreements with the
lenders under the Debt Facilities to obtain as of the Closing evidence of the
repayment of the Loan Payoff Amount and the release of all Company Liens (the “Payoff
and Release of Liens”).  To the
extent applicable, such Payoff and Release of Liens shall include (i) payoff
letters and other written documentation evidencing the release, as of the
Closing Date and after giving effect to the payments contemplated by such
payoff letters pursuant to this Section 7.21(b), of the Companies
from any and all obligations and Liens under or in connection with any
Indebtedness under the Debt Facilities, including the release of all Liens upon
or in any of the respective properties and assets of, and any guarantees by,
any of the Companies arising under or in connection with the Debt Facilities;
and (ii) the delivery of Uniform Commercial Code amendments or collateral
change statements (in each case terminating Uniform Commercial Code

 

73

 

financing statements of
record), discharges or other appropriate termination statements, recordings and
other actions in connection with the Payoff and Release of Liens.

 

(c)                                  If
the Option is exercised, at the Buyers’ request, the Sellers and the Companies
shall use commercially reasonable efforts (at Buyers’ expense) to cooperate
with the Buyers to enable the Companies to refinance the Debt Facilities at the
Closing; provided that there shall be no adverse consequence to Sellers or the
Companies therefrom; and, provided further, that the Sellers and the Companies
shall not (1) have any liability or obligation arising from such
refinancing, except any liability or obligation of the Companies (and not
Sellers) arising on or after the Closing; (2) be required to take any
action that would interfere with the ongoing operations of the Companies,
conflict with or violate any of the Sellers’ or the Companies’ organizational
documents, laws or agreements, require the approval of any Gaming Authorities,
cause any representations or warranties in this Agreement to be breached or any
condition to Closing in Article 8 to fail to be satisfied or otherwise
cause a breach of this Agreement; (3) execute or deliver any agreements or
documents in connection with such refinancing or become subject to any lien or
security interest thereunder, except by or with respect to the Companies if no
approval or consent of any Gaming Authority is required and if effective only
on or after the Closing; or (4) be required to pay any fees or expenses in
connection therewith, including commitment fees.  The Sellers, the Companies and the Buyers
agree to negotiate in good faith to amend the provisions related to the flow of
funds to effectuate such refinancing, if appropriate and without any adverse
consequence to the Sellers or the Companies. 
The Parent and the Buyers shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend,
save and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and
all Damages (without duplication) arising out of, relating to, resulting from
or in connection with such refinancing.

 

(d)                                 If
the Option is exercised, at or prior to the Closing, Holdco shall cause the
Blocker Note to be eliminated by causing Blocker to repay the Blocker Note (as
such term is defined in Schedule 4.2(e)) or by contributing the Blocker Note to
the capital of Blocker.

 

7.22.                        Activities of AcquisitionCo
and Blocker.  During the time period
between the Exercise Date and the Closing Date, neither AcquisitionCo nor
Blocker shall conduct any business or operations, other than actions taken in
connection with holding the AcquisitionCo Units, the CCR Units and interests in
the Excluded HoldCo Subsidiaries, and shall not incur any Liabilities, other
than statutory obligations or obligations under their respective Governing
Documents as in effect on the date hereof.

 

7.23.                        Intentionally Omitted.

 

7.24.                        Amended Nevada Palace Lease;
Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement.  If the Option is exercised, on or before the
Closing Date, the Sellers and CCR shall cause the following to be fully
executed and delivered by all parties so that each of the same is valid and
binding and in full force and effect as of the Closing Date: (i) the
Amended Nevada Palace Lease, and (ii) the Subordination, Non-disturbance
and Attornment Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P
from Nevada State Bank (or its successor, and any other person or entity that
as of Closing has a deed of trust or other lien on or security interest in the
land described in the Amended Nevada Palace Lease) in favor of the Lessee under
the Amended

 

74

 

Nevada Palace Lease (but only in the event that such deeds of trust,
other liens on or security interests in the land described in the Amended
Nevada Palace Lease remain outstanding).

 

7.25.                        Termination of Affiliate
Agreements; Release of Claims.

 

(a)                                  If the Option is
exercised, (i) each of the Sellers shall, and shall cause each of the
applicable Companies to, terminate the Millennium Management Agreement
effective at the Closing, and (ii) each of the Sellers shall cause the
Oaktree Purchase Agreement to be terminated with respect to any and all of the
rights and obligations of each of the Companies thereunder.

 

(b)                                 If
the Option is exercised, each of the Sellers, on its own behalf and on behalf
of its Affiliates and all Persons entitled to assert on each such Seller’s
behalf, irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges each of
the Companies from any and all claims, charges, complaints, demands,
proceedings, causes of action, orders, obligations, contracts, agreements,
debts and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, contingent or actual, both at law and in equity, which each such
Seller now has, has ever had or may hereafter claim to have against the
respective Companies arising contemporaneously with or prior to the date
hereof, on account of, or arising out of, or relating in any way to, any
matter, cause, transaction or event occurring contemporaneously with or prior to
the Closing Date pursuant to any Affiliate Agreement or in respect of such
Seller’s interest in any of the Companies; provided, nothing contained in this Section 7.25(b) shall
operate to release any agreements, indemnities, liabilities, covenants or other
obligations between the Sellers.

 

(c)                                  From
and after the Closing, each of the Buyers, on its own behalf and on behalf of
its Affiliates and all Persons entitled to assert on each such Buyer’s behalf,
irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges each of the
Sellers from any and all claims, charges, complaints, demands, proceedings,
causes of action, orders, obligations, contracts, agreements, debts and
liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected,
contingent or actual, both at law and in equity, which any Company now has, has
ever had or may hereafter claim to have against any of the Sellers arising
contemporaneously with or prior to the date hereof, on account of, or arising
out of, or relating in any way to, any matter, cause, transaction or event
occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to any
Affiliate Agreement (other than any claim for fraud or breach of contract);
provided that, nothing contained in this Section 7.24(c) shall
operate to release any agreements, indemnities, liabilities, covenants or other
obligations of any Seller or any other Person arising under this Agreement or
the Escrow Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Each
Releasor expressly waives all rights afforded by Section 1542 of the Civil
Code of California (“Section 1542”) or any statute or common law
principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the
Companies.  Section 1542 states as
follows:

 

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE
CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF
EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY
AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

 

75

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542,
and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release, each Releasor
expressly waives and relinquishes any rights and benefits that it may have
under Section 1542.  Each Releasor
understands and agrees that this release is intended to include all claims, if
any, which such Releasor may have and which such Releasor does not know or
suspect to exist in its favor against any of the Companies or any of the
Sellers, as the case may be, and that this release extinguishes those claims.

 

Each Releasor represents and warrants that it has been
advised by its attorney of the effect and import of the provisions of Section 1542,
and that such Releasor has not assigned or otherwise transferred or subrogated
any interest in any claims, demands or causes of action that are the subject of
this release.

 

7.26.                        Intentionally Omitted.

 

7.27.                        Impact of New Gaming Taxes

.

(a)                                  If,
at any time prior to the Closing, the State of Nevada imposes a new, additional
or increased statewide tax or levy on or prior to the New Tax Deadline that
increases the aggregate taxes and levies payable by the Companies (a “New
Tax”), and if the Option is exercised, the Sellers and the Buyers agree
that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.27, the
Sellers shall pay to the Buyers a one-time amount in cash equal to the lesser
of (i) 50% of the New Tax Impact with respect to such New Tax and (ii) $25
million (the “New Tax Payment”).

 

(b)                                 If
a New Tax Payment is due in accordance with Section 7.27(a), the
Buyers shall promptly notify the Sellers by written notice.  During the 45 days immediately following
delivery of such notice by the Buyers, the Buyers and the Sellers shall seek in
good faith to agree upon the NGT Tax Amount. 
If the Buyers and the Sellers fail to agree upon the NGT Tax Amount
within such 45-day period, or such longer period as the Buyers and the Sellers
may mutually agree, the Buyers and the Sellers shall each submit a written
determination of the NGT Tax Amount, including a reasonably detailed
description of the assumptions and calculations used in arriving at such
determination, to an independent accounting firm jointly selected by the
Sellers and the Buyers to act as an independent expert; provided, that, if the
Buyers and the Sellers are unable to agree on an independent accounting firm,
then each of the Buyers and the Sellers shall pick an independent accounting
firm and the two accounting firms shall choose a third independent accounting
firm to serve as the independent expert. 
The independent expert shall be directed to make a final determination
of the NGT Tax Amount within 45 days following its selection as the independent
expert.  For purposes of its
determination of the NGT Tax Amount, the independent expert may only select a
value equal to one of, or between, the two values submitted by the Sellers, on
the one hand, and the Buyers, on the other hand. The Buyers and the Sellers
agree to cooperate with the independent expert during the course of its
determination and promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the
independent expert for its determination, including information regarding the
assumptions and calculations underlying the written determinations submitted by
the Buyers and the Sellers and information regarding the Companies (including
forecasts adopted and used by the Managers of CCR in the ordinary course of
business for business planning purposes). 
The independent expert’s determination of the NGT Tax Amount shall be
final, conclusive and binding on the

 

76

 

Sellers and the Buyers.  Within 30 days of the final determination of
the NGT Tax Amount pursuant to this Section 7.27(b), the Sellers
agree to pay to the Buyers the New Tax Payment. 
The fees and costs of the independent expert shall be shared equally by
the Buyers, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand.

 

(c)                                  At
the Closing, solely to support the Sellers’ potential obligation to make the
New Tax Payment pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.27,
the Buyers and the Sellers agree to: (x) enter in a mutually agreeable
escrow arrangement involving the deposit into escrow by the Sellers of $25
million (it being agreed and acknowledged that escrow arrangements with terms
substantially consistent with those set forth in the Escrow Agreement shall be
mutually agreeable among the parties) or a letter of credit from a nationally
recognized commercial bank for the benefit of the escrow agent in the stated
amount of $25 million, or (y) provide other credit support reasonably
acceptable to the Buyers ((x) and (y) collectively, the “Security
Arrangements”).  Upon the earlier of (i) the
payment by the Sellers of the New Tax Payment pursuant to this Section 7.27,
and (ii) the occurrence of the New Tax Deadline (if no New Tax Payment is
due in accordance with Section 7.27(a)), the Security Arrangements
shall terminate, all remaining cash amounts related to such Security
Arrangements, if any, shall be promptly returned to the Sellers and all instruments
(including any letters of credit or other instruments of credit support)
related to such Security Arrangements shall be promptly returned to the Sellers
for cancellation.

 

(d)                                 Any
and all payments made by the Sellers to the Buyers pursuant to this Section 7.27
shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

 

7.28.                        Changes in CCR Capital
Structure.  The parties understand
and acknowledge that the purpose and intent of the Option is that, upon
exercise thereof and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
Buyers will own, either directly or indirectly, one hundred percent (100%) of
the outstanding equity capital of CCR. 
Accordingly, in the event that CCR issues any units or other equity
securities (“New CCR Equity”) after the date hereof, the Sellers and CCR
agree that any such New CCR Equity shall be issued either for cash or as valued
under the operating agreement of CCR and further agree as follows:

 

(a)                                  In
the event that such New CCR Equity is purchased by the Buyers (other than in
connection with the purchase of the Series B Preferred Units or Series A2
Preferred Units pursuant to the Preferred Purchase Agreement), then the
Purchase Price shall remain unchanged.

 

(b)                                 In
the event that such New CCR Equity is purchased, directly or indirectly, by the
Sellers (“Sellers New CCR Equity”), then the Purchase Price shall be
increased on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of equity contributed,
directly or indirectly, by the Sellers in respect of such Sellers New CCR
Equity and this Option shall represent, in addition to an Option to purchase
the Millennium Units and the Holdco Units, an exclusive and irrevocable option
during the Exercise Period to purchase all but not less than all of such
Sellers New CCR Equity from the Sellers, directly or indirectly, as their
respective interests may appear, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

 

77

 

(c)                                  In
the event that such New CCR Equity is purchased by a party (an “Outside
Equity Investor”) other than the Buyers or the Sellers (“Outside New CCR
Equity”), then:

 

(i)            the Outside Equity
Investor shall enter into an Outside New CCR Equity Option Agreement with the
Buyers providing for the purchase by the Buyers of the Outside New CCR Equity
owned by such Outside Equity Investor for a dollar amount (the “Outside New
CCR Equity Purchase Price”) equal to the dollar amount of equity
contributed by such Outside Equity Investor in respect of such Outside New CCR
Equity; and

 

(ii)           the purchase by the
Buyers of the Outside New CCR Equity pursuant to the Outside New CCR Equity
Option Agreement shall occur contemporaneously with, and shall be a condition
to, the Closing under this Agreement.

 

7.29.                        Outside New CCR Equity.  CCR shall not, and the Sellers shall cause
CCR not to, sell any Outside New CCR Equity unless the Outside Equity Investor
enters into, simultaneous with the purchase of such Outside New CCR Equity, an
Outside New CCR Equity Option Agreement with the Buyers reflecting the terms
set forth in this Agreement with respect thereto.

rights that (i) would, if determined adversely, have a Material Adverse

ownership by the Sellers and their ability to sell to the Buyers, and for the

date which need only be true and correct in all material respects or true and
correct, as the case may be, as of such earlier date), except where the failure

party hereto that no party hereto is making any representations or warranties
whatsoever, express or implied, to any other party hereto except those

10.2.        Indemnification

.

any and all Damages (without duplication) arising out of, relating to,
resulting from or in connection with:

 

(i)            the
breach or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty made
by any of the Sellers or CCR under Article 5 of this Agreement
(subject to Section 7.5(b) with respect to any breach of any
representation or warranty for Pre-Closing Events, it being agreed that for
purposes of such right to indemnification, such representations and warranties
shall be deemed not to be qualified by any references therein to knowledge or
materiality generally or to whether or not any breach would result or could be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and any such qualification
shall in all respects be disregarded);

 

(ii)           the
breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement made or to be
performed by any of the Sellers or CCR contained in this Agreement, the Escrow
Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or thereby;

 

(iii)          the

From and after the Closing, Millennium shall indemnify, defend, save and hold
harmless, the Buyer Indemnified Parties, from and against any and all Damages
(without duplication) arising out of, relating to, resulting from or in
connection with the breach of any representation or warranty made by Millennium
under Section 4.1 or Section 4.3 of this Agreement
(subject to Section 7.5(b) with respect to any breach of any
representation or warranty for Pre-Closing Events, it being agreed that for
purposes of such right to indemnification, such representations and warranties
shall be deemed not to be qualified by any references therein to knowledge or
materiality generally or to whether or not any breach would

 

82

 

result or could be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect, and any such qualification shall in all
respects be disregarded).

 

(c)           By HoldCo.
From and after the Closing, HoldCo shall indemnify, defend, save and hold
harmless, the Buyer Indemnified Parties, from and against any and all Damages
(without duplication) arising out of, relating to, resulting from or in
connection with the breach of any representation or warranty made by HoldCo
under Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 of this Agreement
(subject to Section 7.5(b) with respect to any breach of any
representation or warranty for Pre-Closing Events, it being agreed that for
purposes of such right to indemnification, such representations and warranties
shall be deemed not to be qualified by any references therein to knowledge or
materiality generally or to whether or not any breach would result or could be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and any such qualification
shall in all respects be disregarded); and

 

(d)           By Parent and
Buyers.  From and after the Closing,
the Parent and the Buyers shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend, save
and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, successors and
assigns and each of the foregoing’s respective officers, directors, managers,
members, employees and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”)
from and against any and all Damages (without duplication) arising out of,
resulting from or in connection with:

 

(i)                                     the
breach or failure to be true and correct of any representation or warranty made
by the Buyers and the Parent in Article 6 of this Agreement (it
being agreed that for purposes of such right to indemnification, such
representations and warranties shall be deemed not to be qualified by any
references therein to knowledge or materiality generally, and any such qualification
shall in all respects be disregarded); and

 

(ii)                                  the
breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement by any Buyer or the
Parent contained in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other agreement
contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

(e)           Procedure.  Any party seeking indemnification under this Section 10.2
(but not, for the avoidance of doubt, under Section 7.10, Section 7.4(h) or
Section 7.21(c)) (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the
party from whom indemnification is being sought (an “Indemnifying Party”)
notice of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or
could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement as soon as
practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition
or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought
under this Section 10.2, and such notice shall state the nature and
basis of the claim, the amount thereof to the extent known and a reference to
the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of
indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, that the failure to give
notice as soon as practicable shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any
of its obligations except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially
prejudiced thereby.  The liability of an
Indemnifying Party under this Section 10.2 with respect to Damages
arising from claims of any third party (including any Governmental Entity)
which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Section 10.2
(“Third Party Claims”)

 

83

 

shall be governed by and
contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: if an
Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified
Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim as
soon as reasonably practicable; provided, that
the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party
from any of its obligations under this Section 10.2 except to the
extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.  The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and
through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to
the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice
from the Indemnified Party; provided, that if the
Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more
legal or equitable defenses available to it that are different from or in
addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party and representation of
both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or
potential differences between them, then the Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to retain its own counsel, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party,
so long as the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the reasonable
fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties,
taken together.  If the Indemnifying
Party shall not assume the defense of any Third Party Claim or litigation
resulting therefrom, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or
litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate and may settle such claim
or litigation on such terms as it may deem appropriate; provided, that in settling any claim or litigation in respect of
which indemnification is payable under this Article 10, it shall
obtain the consent of the Indemnifying Party which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.  In the event the Indemnifying
Party exercises its right to undertake any such defense against any such Third
Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party in such defense, including by making available to the
Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information
in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control
relating thereto and all personnel, premises and properties of the Indemnified
Party relating thereto, in each case, as is reasonably required by the
Indemnifying Party.  Similarly, in the
event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense
against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with
the Indemnified Party in such defense, including by making available to the
Indemnified Party all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the
Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control
relating thereto and all personnel, premises and properties of the Indemnifying
Party relating thereto, in each case, as is reasonably required by the
Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying
Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, (i) settle
or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment
which does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or
plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third
Party Claim or (ii) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim if the
settlement imposes equitable remedies or material obligations on the
Indemnified Party other than financial obligations for which such Indemnified
Party will be indemnified hereunder.  No
Third Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by the Indemnifying
Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be settled or
compromised by the Indemnified Party without the written consent of the
Indemnifying Party.

(f)            Definition of
Damages.  For purposes of Section 7.10,
this Article 10, Section 7.4(h) and Section 7.21(c),
the term “Damages” means any and all costs, losses, Liabilities,
obligations, damages, lawsuits, deficiencies, fines, judgments, settlements,
penalties, and expenses (whether or not arising out of Third Party Claims),
including reasonable attorneys’

 

84

 

fees and all amounts paid in
investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing.  Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to
the contrary, no Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify or hold
harmless any Indemnified Party or otherwise compensate any Indemnified Party
for damages with respect to lost profits, restitution, damage to reputation,
diminutions in value, mental or emotional distress, exemplary, consequential,
incidental, special or punitive damages.

 

10.3.        Limits
on Indemnification.  Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

 

(a)           No amount shall be
payable by Millennium pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i), Section 10.2(a)(ii),
Section 10.2(a)(iii) or Section 10.2(b) or
HoldCo pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i), Section 10.2(a)(ii),
Section 10.2(a)(iii) or Section 10.2(c), unless
the aggregate amount of all claims for Damages pursuant to such sections
collectively exceeds $1,500,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), and then only for the
amount by which such Damages exceed the Threshold Amount; provided, that the
Threshold Amount shall not apply to claims for Damages arising out of,
resulting from or in connection with (i) any Fundamental Representation
and (ii) claims for fraud or willful misrepresentation, in each case of (i) and
(ii) which Damages shall be indemnified against in their entirety (but
shall not count for purposes of determining whether Damages have exceeded the
Threshold Amount).

 

(b)           No Buyer Indemnified
Party may seek indemnification for any Damages related to the Meadows Property
against the Sellers pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or Section 7.10
and no amount shall be payable by the Sellers with respect to any such claimed
Damages, until the Buyer Indemnified Party has first made and resolved a claim
for such Damages pursuant to the terms of any indemnity available under the
Meadows Purchase Agreement and the Holdback Agreement; provided, that in
settling or resolving any such claim, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall consult
with the Sellers; provided, further, that upon such resolution, the Sellers
shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties against such Damages pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or
Section 7.10 to the extent such Damages are in excess of the amount paid
pursuant to the RSA, the Meadows Purchase Agreement or the Holdback Agreement
and for which Damages related to the Meadows Property are payable pursuant to Article 10
or Section 7.10.

 

(c)           The maximum
aggregate amount of Damages for which indemnity may be recovered from
Millennium and its Representatives pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i), Section 10.2(a)(ii) and
Section 10.2(b) and HoldCo and its Representatives pursuant to
Section 10.2(a)(i), Section 10.2(a)(ii) and Section 10.2(c) shall
be an aggregate amount equal to $25,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”);
provided, that the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to claims for
Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (i) breaches
of any Fundamental Representation and (ii) claims for fraud or willful
misrepresentation, in each case of (i) and (ii) which Damages shall
be indemnified against in their entirety (and shall not count for purposes of
determining whether Damages have exceeded the Indemnification Cap).

 

(d)           If an Indemnified
Party recovers Damages from an Indemnifying Party under Section 10.2
or Section 7.10, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the
extent of such recovery, to the Indemnified Party’s rights against any third
party with respect to such recovered losses, subject to the subrogation rights
of any insurer providing insurance coverage

 

85

 

under one of the Indemnified
Party’s policies and except to the extent that the grant of subrogation rights
to the Indemnifying Party is prohibited by the terms of the applicable
insurance policy.

 

(e)           An Indemnified Party
shall not be entitled to multiple recovery for the same Damages.

 

10.4.        Escrow

.

(a)           Any and all claims
for Damages under Section 10.2(a)(i), Section 10.2(a)(ii),
Section 10.2(b) and Section 10.2(c) by the
Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Sellers up to an amount equal to the
Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be payable solely from the Indemnity Escrow
Account with no recourse by the Buyer Indemnified Parties against Millennium or
HoldCo directly or personally or against any assets of Millennium or Holdco or
their respective Affiliates; provided, that to the extent the aggregate amount
of Damages with respect to claims for which the Buyer Indemnified Parties may
seek indemnity from Millennium pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i), Section 10.2(a)(ii) or
Section 10.2(b) or HoldCo pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i),
Section 10.2(a)(ii) or Section 10.2(c) is in
excess of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may pursue
such claims against Millennium or HoldCo directly and personally, subject to
the terms of this Article 10, including Section 10.2(e).  All other claims for indemnification pursuant
to Section 10.2 and Section 7.10 may, but shall not be
required to be, brought by the Buyer Indemnified Parties against the Indemnity
Escrow Account; provided, that claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.10
from and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date to the end of the
Escrow Period shall first be payable from the Indemnity Escrow Account and to
the extent such claims are in excess of any amount of the Indemnity Escrow
Amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, the Buyer Indemnified Parties
may pursue such claims against Millennium or HoldCo directly or personally.

 

(b)           The Indemnity Escrow
Amount shall be held for three (3) years after the Closing Date (the “Escrow
Period”), except that, to the extent permitted under the Escrow Agreement,
the Indemnity Escrow Amount may be withheld after the expiration of the Escrow
Period to satisfy (i) claims for indemnification that are the subject of
an indemnity claim by a Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to a notice delivered
to the Sellers prior to the expiration of the Escrow Period or (ii) claims
first being pursued against third parties in accordance with Section 10.3(b) or
Section 10.7. Within one (1) Business Day after the final
resolution of a particular claim (such final resolution to be evidenced by (i) joint
written instructions to the Escrow Agent (“Joint Instructions”), or (ii) a
final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction), the Buyers
and the Sellers shall deliver Joint Instructions to the Escrow Agent to (x) pay
to the Buyers from the Indemnity Escrow Account an amount equal to the Damages
in respect of such claim to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have been
determined to be entitled and, if such final resolution has occurred after the
Escrow Period, (y) pay to the Sellers the excess, if any, of (A) the
remaining amount in the Indemnity Escrow Account over (B) the aggregate
amount of unresolved claims, in accordance with each Seller’s payment
percentage as set forth in Exhibit D, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds.

 

(c)           Insurance.  Payments by the Sellers pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) or
Section 7.10 shall be limited to (i) the amount of any
liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance
proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar

 

86

 

payment actually recovered by
the Buyer from any third party with respect thereto, net of any Taxes imposed
on receipt of such amounts, plus (ii) out-of-pocket costs of collection
thereof, co-pays, increases in premiums or deductibles and related expenses.

 

10.5.        Tax
Benefit.  The amount of any payment
to an Indemnified Party pursuant to Article 10 or Section 7.10
shall be reduced by the amount of any Tax Benefit Actually Realized by the
Indemnified Party, which Tax Benefit is solely attributable to the payment of
the Damages upon which the claim for indemnity is based and shall be determined
as follows:

 

(a)           No later than 45
days after the filing of a Tax Return for any taxable period that includes a
date upon which any amount was paid or accrued by the Indemnified Party in
respect of the Liability upon which the claim for indemnity is based, the
Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party a detailed statement (a “Tax
Benefit Statement”) specifying the amount, if any, of any Tax Benefit that
was Actually Realized by the Indemnified Party for such Tax period. To the
extent that any deductions or other Tax items that could give rise to a Tax
reduction or savings do not result in such a Tax reduction or savings being
Actually Realized in the year described in the previous sentence, this Section 10.6(a) shall
apply to each subsequent taxable period of the Indemnified Party, as the case
may be, until either such Tax savings are Actually Realized (resulting in a Tax
Benefit) or the losses or other carryforwards to which such deductions or other
Tax items gave rise expire unused, if applicable.  For each relevant taxable period, the
Indemnifying Party shall be provided with full access to the non-proprietary
work papers and other materials and information prepared by the Indemnified
Party or its accountants in connection with the review of the Tax Benefit
Statement; provided, however, that in no event shall an Indemnifying Party have
any access to such non-proprietary work papers and other materials and
information related to any Affiliate of Parent other than Crown One and Crown
Two; and provided, further, that in no event shall an Indemnifying Party have
any access to proprietary work papers and other materials and information.  If the Indemnifying Party disagrees in any
respect with the Indemnified Party’s computation of the amount of the Tax
Benefit Actually Realized, the Indemnifying Party may, on or prior to 45 days
after the receipt of the Tax Benefit Statement, deliver a notice to the
Indemnified Party setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the
Indemnifying Party’s disagreement therewith (the “Tax Benefit Dispute Notice”).  If no Tax Benefit Dispute Notice is received
by the Indemnified Party on or prior to the 45th day after the Indemnifying
Party’s receipt of the Tax Benefit Statement from the Indemnified Party, the
Tax Benefit Statement shall be deemed accepted.

 

(b)           Within 15 days after
the Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Tax Benefit Dispute Notice, unless the
matters in the Tax Benefit Dispute Notice have otherwise been resolved by
mutual agreement of the parties, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party shall jointly select a nationally-recognized independent certified public
accountant (the “Tax Benefit Accountant”); provided, however, that if
the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are unable to agree upon the
Tax Benefit Accountant within such 15-day period, then the Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party shall each select a nationally-recognized
independent certified public accountant which shall then jointly choose the Tax
Benefit Accountant within 15 days thereafter. The Tax Benefit Accountant shall conduct
such review of the work papers and such other materials and information, and
the Tax Benefit Dispute Notice, and any supporting documentation as the Tax
Benefit Accountant in the Tax Benefit Accountant’s

 

87

 

sole discretion deems
necessary, and the Tax Benefit Accountant shall conduct such hearings or hear
such presentations by the parties or obtain such other information as the Tax
Benefit Accountant in the Tax Benefit Accountant’s sole discretion deems
necessary.

 

(c)           The Tax Benefit
Accountant shall, as promptly as practicable and in no event later than 45 days
following the date of the Tax Benefit Accountant’s retention, deliver to the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party a report (the “Tax Benefit
Report”) in which the Tax Benefit Accountant shall, after reviewing the
disputed items set forth in the Tax Benefit Dispute Notice, determine what
adjustments, if any, should be made to the amount of the Tax Benefit Actually
Realized. The Tax Benefit Report shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the Tax
Benefit Accountant’s determination with respect to the disputed items or
amounts specified in the Tax Benefit Dispute Notice, and the revisions, if any,
to be made to the amount of the Tax Benefit Actually Realized, together with
supporting calculations.  All fees and
expenses relating to this work of the Tax Benefit Accountant shall be borne
equally by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party.  The Tax Benefit Report shall be final and
binding upon the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, shall be deemed
a final arbitration award that is binding on each of the Indemnified Party and
the Indemnifying Party, and no Party shall seek further recourse to courts,
other arbitral tribunals or otherwise. 
The amount, if any, of the Tax Benefit Actually Realized set forth in
the Tax Benefit Report shall reduce the payment of the Liability upon which the
claim for indemnity is based and the net amount of such payment shall be paid
to the Indemnified Party.

 

(d)           If the Indemnifying
Party has not paid the Indemnified Party the Damages attributable to the claim
giving rise to a Tax Benefit being Actually Realized at the time that such Tax
Benefit is Actually Realized and either (i) the Tax Benefit Statement has
been accepted or (ii) the Tax Benefit Report has been finalized, as
applicable, the amount to be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified
Party shall be reduced by the amount of such Tax Benefit.  If the Indemnifying Party has paid the claim
of the Indemnified Party at the time that such Tax Benefit is Actually Realized
and either (x) the Tax Benefit Statement has been accepted or (y) the
Tax Benefit Report has been finalized, as applicable, the Indemnified Party
shall pay the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Tax Benefit no later than
twenty (20) business days after such date.

 

10.6.        Intentionally
Omitted

.

10.7.        Exclusive
Remedy.  Other than claims for or in
the nature of fraud or willful misrepresentation, each party hereby acknowledges
and agrees that, from and after the Closing, without limitation of any
available equitable remedies, its sole remedy relating to the CCR Units, the
Blocker Units, the Business or the subject matter of this Agreement shall be
pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Article 10, Section 7.10,
Section 7.4(h) and Section 7.21(c).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party
hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any and all other rights, claims, and causes of action it may have against
the other parties or their respective Representatives and Affiliates relating
to the Millennium Units, the HoldCo Units, the Blocker Units, the Business or
the subject matter of this Agreement, other than claims for or in the nature of
fraud.

 

88

 

10.8.        Adjustment
of Purchase Price.  All payments for
indemnification made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax
purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

 

ARTICLE
11

General

 

11.1.        Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement, including
the Exhibits hereto, the Buyers and Sellers Disclosure Schedules and the other
agreements, documents and written understandings referred to herein or
otherwise entered into by the parties hereto on the date hereof (including the
Escrow Agreement) and the Confidentiality Agreement, dated March 12, 2009,
between Parent and CCR (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), constitute the
entire agreement and understanding and supersede all other prior covenants,
agreements, undertakings, obligations, promises, arrangements, communications,
representations and warranties, whether oral or written, by any party hereto or
by any director, officer, employee, agent, Affiliate or Representative of any
party hereto.  Except for the documents
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, there are no covenants,
agreements, undertakings or obligations with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein and
no representations or warranties of any kind or nature whatsoever, express or
implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose, are made or shall be deemed to be made herein by the
parties hereto except those expressly made herein.

 

11.2.        No
Third Party Rights.  Nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than
the parties hereto, any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by
reason of this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.  This Agreement and all of its provisions and
conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this
Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

11.3.        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but
all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The parties agree and acknowledge that
delivery of a signature by facsimile shall constitute execution by such
signatory.

 

11.4.        Headings.  The descriptive headings herein are inserted
for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to
affect the meaning, construction or interpretation of, this Agreement.

 

11.5.        Applicable
Law.  This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under
the applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

 

11.6.        Enforcement.  The parties agree that irreparable damage
would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in
the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and

 

89

 

provisions of this Agreement in any federal or state court located in
the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they
are entitled at law or in equity. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) consents
to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts
located in the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees
that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion
or other request for leave from any such court, and (c) agrees that it
will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than a federal or state court
in the State of Delaware.

 

11.7.        Waiver
of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY TO THIS
AGREEMENT WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

11.8.        Waiver
of Conditions

.

(a)           No claim or right
arising out of this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement
can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or
renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other
party.  No waiver that may be given by a
party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is
given.  No notice to or demand on one
party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such party or of the
right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without
notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in
this Agreement.

 

(b)           Except
as otherwise set forth herein, the rights and remedies of the parties hereto
are cumulative and not alternative. Except where a specific period for action
or inaction is provided herein, neither the failure nor any delay on the part
of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement
or the documents referred to in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any such right, power
or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or
privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other such right, power or privilege. 
The failure of a party to exercise any right conferred herein within the
time required shall cause such right to terminate with respect to the transaction
or circumstances giving rise to such right, but not to any such right arising
as a result of any other transactions or circumstances.

 

11.9.        Transaction
Expenses.  Whether or not the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement are
consummated, each party shall pay its own fees and expenses incident to the
negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance hereof and
thereof, including the fees and expenses of its counsel, accountants and other
experts, except as expressly provided herein. 
All fees associated with the investment banking services provided by
Deutsche Bank and Mercanti Securities, LLC and legal services of Munger, Tolles &
Olson, LLP, Santoro, Driggs, Walch, Kearney, Holley and Thompson, Brownsten
Hyatt Farber Schreck, DLA Piper US LLP, and Fox Rothschild LLP and all other
service providers to the Sellers in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby shall not be expenses of the Companies, and
shall be paid by the Sellers at the Closing.

 

90

 

11.10.      Construction.  Each party has been represented by counsel of
its choice in the negotiation of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be deemed to have been
drafted by each of the parties hereto jointly, and no rule of construction
shall be invoked respecting the authorship hereof.

 

11.11.      Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions
contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such provision or provisions shall be ineffective
only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or provisions or the remaining
provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions had never been
contained herein, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

 

11.12.      Amendments.  This Agreement may only be amended by a
written document signed by the Buyers and the Sellers.  Until such an amendment is signed by both
parties, any other agreements, understandings, writings or oral promises or
representations that are at odds with the terms of this Agreement will be of no
effect and will not in any way be binding upon the parties.

 

11.13.      Assignments.

 

(a)           None of the Buyers
nor the Parent may assign any of their rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Sellers and any purported
assignment without such consent shall be void, except that each Buyer may
assign this Agreement to its direct or indirect wholly-owned Affiliate.

 

(b)           The Sellers may not
assign any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of the Buyers and any purported assignment without such
consent shall be void.

 

11.14.      Notices.  All notices, requests, instructions, claims,
demands, consents and other communications required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given on
the date delivered by hand or by courier service such as Federal Express, or by
other messenger (or, if delivery is refused, upon presentment) or upon receipt
by facsimile transmission (with confirmation), or upon delivery by registered
or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage prepaid, to the parties

11.15.      Further
Assurances.  Without limiting the
provisions of Section 7.4, the parties hereto shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to do and perform or cause to be done and
performed all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all

party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

11.16.      Confidentiality.  The disclosure of confidential or proprietary
information by the Sellers or the Buyers to the other shall be governed by the
terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein or in any other understanding or agreement between the parties
hereto, the parties acknowledge and agree that any obligations of confidentiality
contained herein and therein shall not apply to the tax treatment and tax
structure of this Agreement upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date of
the public announcement of discussions relating to the sale and purchase
described herein, (ii) the date of the public announcement of sale and
purchase described herein, or (iii) the date of the execution of this
Agreement, all within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4;
provided, however, that the
foregoing is not intended to affect each party’s privilege to maintain, in its
sole discretion, the confidentiality of communications with its attorneys or
with a federally authorized tax practitioner under Section 7525 of the
Internal Revenue Code.

 

11.17.      Additional
Rules of Construction.  The
following provisions shall be applied wherever appropriate herein:

 

(a)           “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,”

93

 

(b)           all definitions set
forth herein shall be deemed applicable whether the words defined are used
herein in the singular or the plural;

 

(c)           all pronouns and any
variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or
plural, as the context may require;

 

(d)           the words “include”
and “including” and variations thereof shall not be deemed terms of limitation,
but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”;

 

(e)           all accounting terms
not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP;

 

(f)            the captions and
descriptive headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and

or “Dollars” shall mean United States Dollars.

 

11.18.      Enforcement
of this Agreement.  Subject to Section 11.6
above, the parties hereto agree that money damages or other remedy at law would
not be sufficient or adequate remedy for any breach or violation of, or default
under, this Agreement by them and that in addition to all other remedies
available to them, each of them shall be entitled to the fullest extent
permitted by law to an injunction restraining such breach, violation or default
and to other equitable relief, including specific performance, with bond or
other security being required.

 

11.19.      Knowledge.  When references are made in this Agreement to
information being “to the knowledge of” a party hereto or similar language,
such knowledge shall refer to the actual knowledge of: (a) for the
purposes of Article 4 and Article 5, William Paulos,
William Wortman, and Tom Lettero for Millennium, and Stephen Kaplan and Skardon
Baker for HoldCo; (b) for the purposes of Article 5, William
Paulos, William Wortman, Tom Lettero, and Guy Hillyer; and (c) for the
purposes of Article 6, Rowen Craigie and Geoff Kleemann.  Such individuals shall be deemed to have “knowledge”
