2. PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to the Investor, and the Investor has the obligation to purchase from the Company, Purchase Shares as follows:

(a) Initial Purchase and Commencement of Regular Sales of Common Stock. As of June 22, 2010 (the “Initial Date”), the Company sold to the Investor and the Investor purchased 100,000 Purchase Shares (such initial Purchase Shares, the “Initial Purchase Shares”) together with warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 100,000 shares (“Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock, for aggregate consideration of $100,000. The Warrants have a term of five (5) years from the date they are exercisable, and an exercise price of $1.10 per share. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8 hereof (the “Commencement” and the date of satisfaction of such conditions the “Commencement Date”) the Company shall have the right but not the obligation to direct the Investor by its delivery to the Investor of a Regular Purchase Notice from time to time to buy Purchase Shares (each such purchase a “Regular Purchase”) in any amount up to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per Regular Purchase Notice (the “Regular Purchase Amount”) at the Purchase Price on the Purchase Date. The Company may deliver multiple Regular Purchase Notices to the Investor so long as at least two (2) Business Days have passed since the most recent Regular Purchase was completed.

(b) Accelerated Purchases. At any time on or after the Commencement Date, the Company shall also have the right to direct the Investor to buy Purchase Shares (each such purchase an “Accelerated Purchase”) in the amounts specified in this Section 2(b) per Accelerated Purchase Notice at the Accelerated Purchase Price on the Purchase Date by delivering to the Investor Accelerated Purchase Notices as follows: the Accelerated Purchase Amount may be up to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) per Accelerated Purchase Notice provided that the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock must not be below $1.25 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) on the Purchase Date. The Accelerated Purchase Amount may be increased to up to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) per Accelerated Purchase Notice if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is not below $1.75 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) on the Purchase Date. The Accelerated Purchase Amount may be increased to up to Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00) per Accelerated Purchase Notice if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is not below $2.50 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) on the Purchase Date. The Accelerated Purchase Amount may be increased to up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) per Accelerated Purchase Notice if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is not below $3.25 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) on the Purchase Date. With respect to each such Accelerated Purchase, the Company must deliver the Purchase Shares before 1:00 p.m. eastern time on the Business Day following the Purchase Date. As used herein, the term “Accelerated Purchase Price” shall mean the lesser of (i) the lowest Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date or (ii) the lowest Purchase Price during the previous ten (10) Business Days prior to the date that the valid Accelerated Purchase Notice was received by the Investor. However, if on any Purchase Date the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is below the applicable Accelerated Purchase threshold price, such Accelerated Purchase shall be void and the Investor’s obligations to buy Purchase Shares in respect of that Accelerated Purchase Notice shall be terminated. Thereafter, the Company shall again have the right to submit an Accelerated Purchase Notice as set forth herein by delivery of a new Accelerated Purchase Notice only if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock is at or above the applicable Accelerated Purchase Amount threshold price on the date of the delivery of the Accelerated Purchase Notice. The Company may deliver multiple Accelerated Purchase Notices to the Investor so long as at least two (2) Business Days have passed since the most recent Accelerated Purchase was completed.

(c) Payment for Purchase Shares. The Investor shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Amount with respect to such Purchase Shares as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds on the same Business Day that the Investor receives such Purchase Shares if they are received by the Investor before 1:00 p.m. eastern time or if received by the Investor after 1:00 p.m. eastern time, the next Business Day. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any purchase. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share. All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

(d) Purchase Price Floor. The Company and the Investor shall not effect any sales and purchases under this Agreement on any Purchase Date where the Purchase Price for any purchases of Purchase Shares would be less than the Floor Price. “Floor Price” means $0.25, which shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction.

(e) Compliance with Principal Market Rules. The Company shall not sell any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement and the Investor shall not have the right or the obligation to purchase shares of Common Stock under this Agreement to the extent that after giving effect to such purchase the "Exchange Cap" shall be deemed to be reached. The "Exchange Cap" shall be deemed to have been reached if, at any time prior to the shareholders of the Company approving the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, upon a purchase under this Agreement, the Purchase Shares and the Commitment Shares issuable pursuant to such purchase would, together with all Purchase Shares and Commitment Shares previously issued under this Agreement, exceed 2,935,044 shares of Common Stock (19.99% of the 14,682,565 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of this Agreement). The Company may, but shall be under no obligation to, request its shareholders to approve the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall not be required to issue any Purchase Shares under this Agreement if such issuance would breach the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market.

(e) Issuance of Commitment Shares.

The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages related to the Company's distribution of PokerPro in Mexico.

Schedule 4(q) – Transactions with Affiliates

Office Lease

The Company currently leases its office and manufacturing facility from an entity owned and controlled by the Company’s President and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors. The entity purchased the building while the Company was already a tenant. The lease terms were negotiated and are consistent with the rent paid by other tenants in the building. Rent expense recorded for the leased space for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $188,900, $219,600 and $160,766, respectively.

Founders’ Loan

The Company entered into a loan agreement with Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx on March 24, 2008. Messrs. Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx and White are the founders of the Company. Each of the lenders is also a member of our board of directors, with Xx. Xxxxxx serving as Chairman and Xx. Xxxxx serving as Vice Chairman. The $2.0 million loan originally called for cash interest at 13% with all unpaid principal and interest payable on March 24, 2010.

On July 9, 2009, the Founders’ Loan was amended to provide that monthly interest payments may be made, at the election of the holder, in our common stock at a 13% annual interest rate pursuant to a formula or cash at a 9% annual interest rate. In addition, the maturity date of the loan was extended to March 21, 2012.

On September 10, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx to convert an aggregate $1.2 million principal amount of the loans into common stock. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx continue to hold $500,000 and $300,000 principal amounts, respectively, of the loans.

The loan contains no restrictive covenants and, following the conversion described above, is collateralized by security interests in 62 PokerPro systems. Such interests have been subordinated to the SVB Credit Facility. During 2009, the Company made $150,012 in aggregate interest payments in cash and issued 56,086 shares of stock in payment of interest. 1,445,784 shares were issued to certain of the lenders in connection with the conversion of $1.2 million of the outstanding debt balance.

FORM OF COMPANY COUNSEL OPINION

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein, have the meaning set forth in the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation in existence and authorized to transact business in the State of North Carolina.

2. The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, each Transaction Document to which it is a party. The Company has the corporate power to conduct its business as, to the best of our knowledge, it is now conducted, and to own and use the properties owned and used by it.

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance of the obligations of the Company thereunder and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated therein have been duly authorized and approved by the Company's Board of Directors and no further consent, approval or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is required. The Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and are the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting creditor’s rights and remedies.

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby including the offering, sale and issuance of the Commitment Shares, and the Purchase Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, and fulfillment and compliance with terms of the Transaction Documents, does not and shall not: (i) conflict with, constitute a breach of or default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, constitutes or could constitute a breach or a default), under (a) the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, (b) any material agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other material instrument to which to our knowledge the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its assets are bound, (ii) result in any violation of any statute, law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, or (iii) to our knowledge, violate any order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company is prohibited by its Restated Articles of Incorporation from issuing a person 5% or more of its outstanding shares of Common Stock unless such person (i) provides to the Gaming Authorities (as defined) certain information, (ii) responds to certain written or oral questions and (iii) consents to the performance of any background investigation that may be required; and provided, further, however, that the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that shares of Common Stock of a Disqualified Holder (as defined) are subject to redemption at any time by action of the Board of Directors on certain terms and conditions set forth therein.

5. The issuance of the Purchase Shares and Commitment Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized and the Initial Commitment Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive rights. 2,214,552 shares of Common Stock have been properly reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement. When issued and paid for in accordance with the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive rights. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon exercise in accordance with the Warrants. 180,000 shares of Common Stock have been properly reserved for issuance as Additional Commitment Shares under the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement. When issued in accordance with the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, the Additional Commitment Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive rights. To our knowledge, the execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement do not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder shall not, give rise to any rights of any other person for the registration under the Securities Act of any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which have not been waived.

6. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share, of which to our knowledge, 14,682,565 shares are issued and outstanding as of June 24, 2010. Except as set forth on Schedule 4(c) of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, to our knowledge, there are no outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of the capital stock of the Company.

7. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and your compliance with the covenants made by you in the Transaction Documents, the offering, sale and issuance of the Initial Commitment Shares to you pursuant to the Transaction Documents is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and the securities laws and regulations of the State of North Carolina.

8. Other than that which has been obtained and completed prior to the date hereof, to the best of our knowledge, no authorization, approval, consent, filing or other order of any federal or state governmental body, regulatory agency, or stock exchange or market, or any court, or any third party is required to be obtained by the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or for the Company to issue and sell the Purchase Shares as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

9. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. To our knowledge, since one year preceding the date of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, the Company has been in compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to it. To the best of our knowledge, since one year preceding the date of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, the Company has not received any written notice from the Principal Market stating that the Company has not been in compliance with any of the rules and regulations (including the requirements for continued listing) of the Principal Market, provided, however, that on September 15, 2009, the Company received a notice of deficiency in connection with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule with respect to the Company’s Common Stock; and, provided, further, however, that on March 16, 2010, the Company received a notice to the effect that Nasdaq had made a determination that the Company’s Common Stock would be delisted from Nasdaq’s Capital Market. Subsequently, a Hearing Panel was convened on April 28, 2010, and on May 10, 2010, Nasdaq determined to continued listing the securities of the Company on Nasdaq’s Capital market with full privileges.

We further advise you that to the best of our knowledge, except as disclosed on Schedule 4(h) in the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or body, any governmental agency, any stock exchange or market, or self-regulatory organization, which has been threatened in writing or which is currently pending against the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any officers or directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

In addition, we have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement (SEC File # ________) covering the sale of the Purchase Shares, the Additional Commitment Shares including the prospectus dated ____________, contained therein and in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company (including the Company’s independent auditors) during which the contents of the Registration Statement and related matters were discussed and reviewed and, although we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, on the basis of the information that was developed in the course of the performance of the services referred to above, considered in the light of our understanding of the applicable law, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and schedules and the other financial and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no belief), as of their dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
