(ix) The Members acknowledge that the Members, Parent or GC Affiliates may, under the Construction Financing, Expansion Financing or Permanent Financing, have the right to pledge additional collateral (including cash) to cure the default (a “Curable Default”) of one (1) of the Members, Parent or GC Affiliates under other loan documents or by reason of Bankruptcy or a similar event (a “Cure Pledge”). In the event that a Curable Default by Station, Parent, GC or GC Affiliates occurs, then Station and Parent in the case of a Curable Default by Station or Parent, and GC and GC Affiliates in the case of a Curable Default by GC or GC Affiliates, shall have ten (10) days from such Curable Default to make the Cure Pledge. If they fail to do so, then GC and GC Affiliates in the case of the failure of Station and Parent, and Station and Parent in the case of the failure of GC and GC Affiliates, may make the Cure Pledge (the Member failing to cure being the “Cross-Default Member,” the Person making such pledge being the “Curing Party,” and the collateral pledged being the “Cure Collateral”). The Cross Default Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Member from the cost of curing the Curable Default, such as reasonable attorneys’ fees, escrow costs, and filing fees, but expressly excluding the opportunity cost of such cure (e.g., the lost opportunity for other uses of the Cure Collateral), but expressly including the fair market value of the Cure Collateral valued as of the date of the pledge if the same is foreclosed or conveyed

in lieu of foreclosure (the “Collateral’s Fair Market Value”). If the Cure Collateral is foreclosed or otherwise conveyed in lieu of foreclosure, the Member who pledged the Cure Collateral (or on whose behalf the Cure Collateral was pledged) may elect to treat the Collateral’s Fair Market Value as a Default Amount or Default Loan. In the event that a Curing Party makes a Cure Pledge, then the Cross Default Member shall, for so long as such Cure Pledge is outstanding, on each annual anniversary date of such pledge, pay to the other Curing Party an amount equal to the lesser of (A) ten percent (10%) of the Collateral’s Fair Market Value or (B) the maximum permitted by law (the “Cure Cost of Capital”); such payment shall be prorated for any partial year that the Cure Pledge is outstanding. In the event the Cure Cost of Capital is not paid when due, it shall, at the election of the Non-Defaulting Member, constitute either a Default Amount or Default Loan under this Agreement.

(g) With respect to Xxxxx LLC, within two (2) Business Days after the Company receives written notice of a capital call from Xxxxx LLC (a “Xxxxx Additional Capital Call”), the Executive Committee shall notify each of GC and Station in writing of (i) the aggregate dollar amount of such Xxxxx Additional Capital Call, (ii) each Member’s share (which shall be in proportion to each Member’s Membership Interest as of the date of the notice from the Executive Committee) of such Xxxxx Additional Capital Call (which shall be the amount of the Member’s Additional Capital Contribution with respect thereto) and (iii) the date on which such Additional Capital Contribution is to be made (which shall be no sooner than ten (10) days, and no later than twenty (20) days, immediately following the date of the notice of such Additional Capital Contribution from the Executive Committee), and GC and Station shall make such Additional Capital Contributions to the Company within such prescribed time period.

4.3 Default.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) Default in Making Additional Capital Contribution.

(i) Without limiting the additional rights set forth in Section 4.3(g), if any Member fails to timely make all or part of any additional Capital Contribution (an “Additional Contribution Default”) required to be made by such Member pursuant to Section 4.2 (including the failure to pay under any “make-well” or completion guaranty) (the amount of such failed payment referred to herein as a “Default Amount”), the Non-Defaulting Member may elect to contribute to the Company all or a part of the Default Amount (a “Default Contribution”). The Default Contribution shall be deemed contributed as an additional Capital Contribution by the Non-Defaulting Member and the percentage of Membership Interests of the Non-Defaulting Member shall then be adjusted (an “Initial Dilution”) such that the percentage of such Membership Interests shall be increased to a fraction, the numerator of which equals the aggregate Capital Contributions of the Non-Defaulting Member immediately prior to the payment of the Default Contribution plus one hundred percent (100%) of the Default Contribution, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Capital Contributions of all Members (the resulting increase in the percentage of the Non-Defaulting Member’s Membership Interest is referred to herein as the “Dilution Interest”). The percentage of the

Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member shall be reduced accordingly. Until the Dilution Interest is acquired by the Defaulting Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3(b) by paying the Dilution Interest Payment Amount (as hereinafter defined), the Non-Defaulting Member shall be entitled to all distributions to which the Defaulting Member would have been entitled in respect of its Membership Interests (each such distribution paid to the Non-Defaulting Member in respect of the Defaulting Member’s Membership Interest is referred to herein as a “Default Distribution”). Default Distributions shall be credited first against the Twenty Five Percent Payment, second against the Default Contribution itself, and third against the amount of any Disproportionate Contribution. For a period of one (1) year following the Non-Defaulting Member’s contribution of the Default Contribution, the Defaulting Member shall have the option of acquiring the Dilution Interest by paying the Non-Defaulting Member an amount (the “Dilution Interest Payment Amount”) equal to (w) one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Default Contribution, plus (x) the Twenty Five Percent Payment, plus (y) the amount of all Disproportionate Contributions, minus (z) the amount of any Default Distributions, in which case the Default Contribution will be canceled, the dilution of the Defaulting Member’s Membership Interests shall be reversed, and an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Default Contribution will be added to the Capital Account balance of the Defaulting Member. If the Dilution Interest is not acquired in full by the Defaulting Member within the foregoing one (1) year period, the percentage of Membership Interests of the Non-Defaulting Member shall then be further adjusted (a “Secondary Dilution”) such that the Non-Defaulting Member’s percentage of the Membership Interests shall be increased to a fraction, the numerator of which equals (A) the aggregate Capital Contribution of the Non-Defaulting Member to date (including the Default Contribution), plus (B) the Twenty Five Percent Payment which is deemed contributed as an additional Capital Contribution solely for purposes of calculating a Member’s percentage of Membership Interests, minus (C) the amount of any Default Distributions, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Capital Contribution of all Members. The percentage of the Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member shall be reduced accordingly.

(ii) In the event of an Additional Contribution Default, the Non-Defaulting Member also may elect either to (A) withdraw, no later than five (5) days after such Additional Capital Contribution was made by the Non-Defaulting Member, its Additional Capital Contribution which was made timely (and upon such withdrawal, the Defaulting Member no longer shall be in default, and the requirement to make an Additional Capital Contribution shall be deemed to have been canceled and neither Member shall have been deemed to have made an Additional Capital Contribution), or (B) not make a Default Contribution at all. In the event that the Non-Defaulting Member elects the foregoing option (B), the Company shall not pay any distribution to the Defaulting Member from the date on which such Additional Capital Contribution was required to be made by the Defaulting Member, and such amounts that otherwise would be distributed to the Defaulting Member shall be retained by the Company and deemed to be a Capital Contribution of the Defaulting Member (“Retained Distributions”), until the earlier of (I) the date on which the Defaulting Member has contributed such Default Amount to the Company (reduced by any Retained Distributions), there are no other unpaid delinquent Capital Contributions required to be made by such Member, and the Defaulting Member

has paid the Non-Defaulting Member the Twenty Five Percent Payment on the Default Amount and all subsequent delinquent Capital Contributions, or (II) the date on which the aggregate amount of all such Retained Distributions equals the sum of (X) the Default Amount, (Y) all other subsequent delinquent Capital Contributions that remain unpaid as of the date of determination, and (Z) the Twenty Five Percent Payment on the Default Amount and all subsequent delinquent Capital Contributions. In the event that any of the foregoing (I) or (II) occurs (a “Default Repayment Event”), an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Default Amount shall be deemed to be contributed to the capital of the Company on behalf of the Defaulting Member and the Defaulting Member’s Capital Account shall be adjusted to reflect such Capital Contribution and the Company shall pay the Non-Defaulting Member the Twenty Five Percent Payment (to the extent such Twenty Five Percent Payment has not been paid previously to the Non-Defaulting Member).

(c) Disenfranchisement. At any time after an Additional Contribution Default (except if the Non-Defaulting Member withdraws its Additional Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.3(b)(ii)(A)), the Defaulting Member shall have no representatives on the Executive Committee and no vote on any matter coming before the Members, except that such Defaulting Member’s consent still shall be required with respect to the items set forth in Section 5.4. The disenfranchisement pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) shall end at such time as the Defaulting Member has paid the Dilution Interest Payment Amount or Default Loan (plus Default Loan Interest), as applicable, or a Default Repayment Event has occurred.

(d) Default Call and Put.

(i) Within thirty (30) days after the day after a Secondary Dilution occurs (a “Dilution Date”) pursuant to Section 4.3(b), and within thirty (30) days after each of the first five (5) annual anniversaries of a Dilution Date, and on the tenth (10th) and fifteenth (15th) annual anniversaries of a Dilution Date, the Non-Defaulting Member may give written notice to the Defaulting Member that it is considering exercising the right to purchase the Defaulting Member’s Membership Interest (the “Default Call”) and that the Appraised Value should be determined as of the date of such notice. Within thirty (30) days after the determination of the Appraised Value, the Non-Defaulting Member shall notify the Defaulting Member if it desires to exercise the Default Call. The purchase and sale thereafter shall occur within ten (10) days following receipt of all necessary third-party consents and approvals for such transfer. At the closing, the Membership Interest shall be conveyed free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (except this Agreement and the Aliante Operating Agreement), and the selling Member and its Affiliates shall be released from all indebtedness or guaranties incurred on behalf of the Company. The acquisition price shall be the Appraised Value and, unless the Defaulting Member otherwise agrees, be paid in cash.

(ii) No later than one (1) year prior to the fifth (5th), tenth (10th) and fifteenth (15th) annual anniversaries of a Dilution Date, the Defaulting Member may give written notice to the Non-Defaulting Member that it is considering exercising the right to sell its Membership Interest to the Non-Defaulting Member (the “Default Put”) and that the Appraised Value should be calculated as of thirty (30) days prior to the applicable

anniversary of a Dilution Date. Within thirty (30) days after the determination of the Appraised Value, the Defaulting Member shall notify the Non-Defaulting Member if it desires to exercise the Default Put (the “Default Put Exercise Date”). The purchase and sale shall occur on the later of within thirty (30) days prior to the fifth (5th), tenth (10th) and fifteenth (15th) annual anniversaries of a Dilution Date, as applicable, or ten (10) days following receipt of all necessary third-party consents and approvals for such transfer. At the closing, the Membership Interest shall be conveyed free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (except this Agreement and the Aliante Operating Agreement ), and the selling Member and its Affiliates shall be released from all indebtedness or guaranties incurred on behalf of the Company, Aliante LCC or Xxxxx LLC. The acquisition price shall be the Appraised Value, and, unless the Defaulting Member otherwise agrees, be paid in cash.

In the event a Member defaults on acquiring a Member’s Membership Interest pursuant to a Default Put, or the requisite consents and approvals to Transfer have not (or cannot be) obtained with respect to a Default Put within one (1) year after the Default Put Exercise Date, or the selling Member and its Affiliates cannot be released from all indebtedness or guaranties with respect to a Default Put within one (1) year after the Default Put Exercise Date, then the selling Member can require the Company or its assets to be sold pursuant to actions taken by an investment banker (selected by the selling Member from the list on Exhibit B) in a commercially reasonable time period.

(e) No Penalty or Forfeiture. GC and Station acknowledge and agree that the failure of either to make their respective Additional Capital Contributions shall result in damage to the other and the Company, the exact amount of which is impractical or extremely difficult to calculate, and that the remedies set forth in Section 4.3(b)-(d) are a fair and reasonable calculation of damages under the circumstances, and not a penalty or forfeiture.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Disproportionate Guaranty Contribution. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that there is an Additional Contribution Default based on the failure to make a Required Guaranty Payment, the Member who has made (or is deemed to have made) the Disproportionate Guaranty Contribution may elect either to (i) treat the unpaid Required Guaranty Amount as a Default Amount (with such Default Amount being deemed contributed as a Default Contribution by the Non-Defaulting Member) under Section 4.3(b) with all rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to Default Amounts and Default Contributions, or (ii) if treating the Disproportionate Guaranty Contribution as a Default Amount (or exercising remedies in connection therewith, including, without limitation, dilution or disenfranchisement of the Defaulting Member) would result in a termination of the commitment for or acceleration of the Construction Financing, Expansion Financing or Permanent Financing, or if the Disproportionate Guaranty Contribution is the result of a foreclosure or transfer in lieu of a foreclosure pursuant to the Pledge/Guaranty Documents, treat the Required Guaranty Amount as a loan (the “Default Loan”) to the Defaulting Member which shall accrue interest on the outstanding principal of the Default Loan at an interest rate equal to the prime rate as announced by Bank of America N.A. plus ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded annually (the “Default Loan Interest”). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.3 to the contrary, in the

event that the Non-Defaulting Member treats the Required Guaranty Amount as a Default Loan, the Defaulting Member shall not be entitled to any distributions whatsoever under this Agreement until such time as the Non-Defaulting Member has received distributions otherwise distributable to the Defaulting Member pursuant to the final paragraph of Section 4.5(a) equal to the Default Loan plus Default Loan Interest. The provisions of this Section 4.3(g) shall continue until all of the Company, Aliante LLC, the Members, Parent, GC Pledgors and Station Pledgors are released from the Construction Loan Documents, Expansion Project Loan Documents and Permanent Loan Documents, as the case may be, and the Pledge/Guaranty Documents, and shall not be affected by a release of less than all of the foregoing parties.

4.4 Allocation of Profits and Losses.

For purposes of determining Capital Accounts under this Section 4.4: (i) Capital Accounts shall be reduced by distributions with respect to such Fiscal Year, and (ii) a Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by such Member’s share of Minimum Gain and Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt determined as of the end of such Fiscal Year.

(a) Profits. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 4.4(c), Profits shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, to those Members with negative Capital Account balances, that portion of Profits which is equal in amount to, and in proportion to, such Members’ respective negative Capital Accounts in the Company; provided, however, that no such Profits shall be allocated under this paragraph to a Member once such Member’s Capital Account is brought to zero; and (ii) the balance, to those Members in the amount and to the extent necessary to increase the Members’ respective Capital Accounts so that if the proceeds were distributed under Section 6.2(c) at the end of the Fiscal Year, such proceeds would be distributed in accordance with the Members’ respective Capital Account balances.

(b) Losses. After giving effect to Section 4.4(c), Losses shall be allocated to each Member as follows: (i) first, to those Members to the extent and in such proportions necessary to decrease the respective positive balances in all Members’ Capital Accounts so that the proceeds distributed under Section 6.2(c) will be distributed in accordance with the Members’ respective adjusted Capital Accounts; and (ii) the balance, to the Members in accordance with the manner in which they bear the economic risk of loss associated with such Loss.

(c) Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 4.4(a) or Section 4.4(b), the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback (Nonrecourse Liabilities). If there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain for any Fiscal Year (except as a result of certain conversions or refinancings of Company indebtedness, certain capital contributions or certain revaluations of property as further outlined in Regulation Sections 1.704-2(d)(4), (f)(2), or (f)(3)), each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and (j)(2). This Section 4.4(c)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4(c)(i) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant hereto.

(ii) Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. If there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year (other than due to the conversion, refinancing or other change in the debt instrument causing it to become partially or wholly nonrecourse, certain capital contributions, or certain revaluations of property as further outlined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4)), each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in the Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2). This Section 4.4(c)(ii) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Member Nonrecourse Debt (as defined in and) contained in said sections of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.4(c)(ii) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant hereto.

(iii) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), and such Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This Section 4.4(c)(iii) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances.

(v) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss for the debt in respect of which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable (as determined under Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and (i)(1)).

(vi) Curative Allocations. The Regulatory Allocations (as hereinafter defined) shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the cumulative net amount of allocations of Company items under Section 4.4(a), (b) and (c) hereof shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. This Paragraph (vi) is intended to minimize to the extent possible and to the extent necessary any economic distortions that may result from application of the Regulatory Allocations and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. For purposes hereof, “Regulatory Allocations” shall mean all the allocations provided under this Section 4.4(c) other than this Paragraph (vi).

(d) Tax Allocations.

(i) Generally. Subject to Paragraph (ii) of this Subsection (d), items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to be allocated for income tax purposes (collectively, “Tax Items”) shall be allocated among the Members on the same basis as their respective book items.

(ii) Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) and Revaluations. Notwithstanding Paragraph (i) of this Subsection (d), Tax Items with respect to Company property that is subject to Code Section 704(c) and/or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) shall be allocated in accordance with said Code section and/or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i), as the case may be, using the “traditional method” or, upon unanimous approval of the Members, any other reasonable method permitted in Regulations Section 1.704-3.

4.5 Distributions.

(a) Distributions of Distributable Cash Prior to Liquidation. Subject to any limitations in any other applicable agreement or document, all cash received by the Company from Aliante LLC and Xxxxx LLC, less appropriate Reserves as determined by the Executive Committee (“Distributable Cash”), shall be disbursed or distributed immediately to the Members in the following order:

(i) First, subject to clause (iii) below, to the Members pro rata in accordance with each Member’s share of unreturned Capital Contributions (other than Default Contributions) until each Member shall have received (giving effect to all distributions pursuant to this Section 4.5(a)(i) in the current and previous Fiscal Years) an amount equal to such Member’s Capital Contributions (other than Default Contributions).

(ii) Second, subject to Clause (iii) below, to the Members, pro rata in accordance with each Member’s percentage of Membership Interests.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing Clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent there are any Twenty Five Percent Payment amounts or Default Contributions outstanding, any amount that would be distributed to a Defaulting Member pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above shall instead be distributed (A) first, to Persons to whom Twenty Five Percent Payment amounts are due, in proportion to such amounts due them, until such Persons have received full payments of their Twenty Five Percent amounts and (B) second, to Persons that have made Default Contributions, in proportion to their unreturned Default Contributions until such Persons have received the full return of their Default Contributions

Notwithstanding the foregoing, taking into account distributions made with respect to the Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(i) and (ii), the Company shall distribute to each Member on an annual basis not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Fiscal Year an amount equal to forty percent (40%) of the Profits allocated to such Member for such Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 4.4(a). Distributions to Members pursuant to the preceding

sentence shall be an advance of and credited against distributions to be made to Members under this Agreement in the order that such distributions would be made pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(i) and (ii) and Section 6.2(c). For the avoidance of doubt, amounts distributable pursuant to this Section 4.5(a) may be diverted to pay the Twenty Five Percent Payment and Default Contributions.

(b) Withholding. The Company shall withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority all taxes or withholdings, and all interest, penalties, additions to tax, and similar liabilities in connection therewith or attributable thereto (hereinafter “Withheld Taxes”) to the extent that the Manager reasonably determines that such withholding and/or payment is required by the Code or any other law, rule or regulation. The Manager shall determine to which Member such Withheld Taxes are attributable in accordance with applicable law. All amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to any Member shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or (b), as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Certain Adjustments. If an amount payable to the Company is reduced because the Person paying that amount withholds and/or pays over to the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority any amount as a result of the status of a Member, the Executive Committee shall make such adjustments to amounts distributed and allocated among Members as the Executive Committee reasonably determines to be appropriate.

ARTICLE V

Members; Transfer of Interests

5.1 Admission. GC and Station became Members on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Act, the Company may admit new Members to the Company only with the prior consent of the Executive Committee on such terms as Station and GC mutually agree. No Person shall be admitted as a Member until all approvals required by the Gaming Laws are obtained.

5.2 Transfer of Interests.

(a) No Transfer Without Executive Committee Consent. No Member may Transfer all or any part of its Membership Interest in the Company (other than a Transfer (i) pursuant to Section 4.3(d), Section 5.2(b) or Section 5.3) or (ii) subject to Section 5.2(b), to one (1) or more Greenspun Family Members (or an entity wholly-owned by one (1) or more Greenspun Family Members) in the case of GC and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent in the case of Station which expressly assumes in writing the obligations of the transferor under this Agreement (as long as such Transfer would not adversely affect the classification of the Company as a partnership for federal or state income tax purposes)) or otherwise assign or delegate any of such Member’s rights and obligations as a Member without the prior consent of the Executive Committee. In the event of a Transfer permitted by Clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the transferor and transferee(s) shall be treated as a single Member for all purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 5.2(a), there shall be a Transfer of GC’s Membership Interest in the Company if one (1) or more Greenspun Family Members do not own one hundred

percent (100%) of GC; provided, however, that the pledge or other hypothecation of GC’s or Station’s Membership Interest to secure Construction Financing, Expansion Financing or Permanent Financing, or the subsequent foreclosure or transfer in lieu thereof, to the construction or permanent lender or bona fide purchaser or transferee of such lender, shall not be deemed a Transfer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any Transfer by GC or Station of any or all of its Membership Interest in contravention of this Section 5.2(a), such as, but not limited to, by operation of law, Bankruptcy or the like, the transferee shall have no rights to vote any matters coming before the Members and the other Member shall have the sole right to vote and appoint members to the Executive Committee.

(b) Transfer Upon Change in Control.

(i) Station shall give written notice to GC (a “Change in Control Notice”) no later than thirty (30) days following a Change in Control, which Change in Control Notice shall describe the events or circumstances which constitute such Change in Control in reasonable detail. Promptly thereafter, the Executive Committee shall determine the Appraised Value of each Member’s Membership Interest as of the date of the Change in Control Notice.

(ii) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of the Appraised Value of Station’s Membership Interest, GC shall give Station written notice (the “Change in Control Call Exercise Notice”) of GC’s intention to purchase Station’s Membership Interest (the “Change in Control Call”) if GC elects to exercise the Change in Control Call at such Appraised Value. GC and Station shall close GC’s purchase of Station’s Membership Interest pursuant to the exercise of a Change in Control Call within ten (10) days following receipt of all necessary third-party consents and approvals for such Transfer, with the purchase price payable in cash at such closing, unless otherwise agreed by Station. Station shall convey its Membership Interest to GC free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (except this Agreement and the Aliante Operating Agreement), and Station and its Affiliates shall be released from all indebtedness, pledges and guaranties incurred on behalf of the Company. In the event GC defaults on acquiring Station’s Membership Interest pursuant to this Clause (ii), or the requisite consents and approvals to Transfer have not (or cannot be) obtained with respect to a Change in Control Call within one (1) year after the Change in Control Call Exercise Notice, or Station and its Affiliates cannot be released from all indebtedness, pledges or guaranties with respect to a Change in Control Call within one (1) year after the Change in Control Call Exercise Notice, then Station can require the Company or its assets to be sold pursuant to actions taken by an investment banker (selected by Station from the list on Exhibit B) in a commercially reasonable time frame.

(iii) If GC does not exercise its Change in Control Call, then at any time during the period commencing on its receipt of written notice of the Appraised Value of GC’s Membership Interest and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the closing of the Change in Control transaction (the “Change in Control Put Period”), GC may give Station (or the acquiror of Station’s Membership Interest in the Change in Control transaction, as the case may be) written notice (the “Change in Control Put Exercise Notice”) of its intention to sell its Membership Interest (the “Change in Control Put”) to

Station (or the acquirer of Station’s Membership Interest in the Change in Control, as the case may be) if GC elects to exercise its Change in Control Put at such Appraised Value. GC and Station (or the acquiror of Station’s Membership Interest in the Change in Control transaction, as the case may be) shall close the purchase of GC’s Membership Interest within ten (10) days following receipt of all necessary third-party consents and approvals for such Transfer, with the purchase price payable in cash at such closing, unless otherwise agreed by GC. GC shall convey its Membership Interest to Station (or the acquiror of Station’s Membership Interest in the Change in Control transaction, as the case may be) free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (except this Agreement and the Aliante Operating Agreement), and GC and its Affiliates shall be released from all indebtedness, pledges and guaranties incurred on behalf of the Company. In the event Station (or the acquiror of Station’s Membership Interest in the Change in Control transaction, as the case may be) defaults on acquiring GC’s Membership Interest pursuant to this Clause (iii), or the requisite consents and approvals to Transfer have not (or cannot be) obtained with respect to a Change in Control Put within one (1) year after the Change in Control Put Exercise Notice, or GC and its Affiliates cannot be released from all indebtedness, pledges or guaranties with respect to a Change in Control Put within one (1) year after the Change in Control Put Exercise Notice, then GC can require the Company or its assets to be sold pursuant to actions taken by an investment banker (selected by GC from the list on Exhibit B) in a commercially reasonable time frame.

(c) Special Provisions Applicable to Change in Control Call. In the event that Station’s Membership Interest is the subject of a Change in Control Call, Station shall, at the option of GC, be obligated to continue to serve as the Manager for a period of up to six (6) months after the consummation of the purchase of Station’s Membership Interest, during which time Station shall continue to perform its obligations hereunder and receive the Incentive Management Fee and the Base Management Fee and will cooperate with Aliante LLC in its efforts to engage a successor Manager.

(d) Attempted Transfers in Contravention. Any attempted Transfer in contravention of this Article V shall be void and of no effect and shall not bind or be recognized by the Company. In the case of an attempted Transfer not permitted hereby, the parties attempting to engage in such Transfer shall indemnify and hold harmless (and hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless), the Company and the other Members from all costs, liabilities and damages that any of such indemnified Persons may incur (including, without limitation, incremental tax liability and attorneys’ fees and expenses) as a result of such attempted Transfer and efforts to enforce the indemnity granted hereby.

(e) Distributions and Allocations Upon Transfers. If during any Fiscal Year there is a Transfer of an interest in the Company in compliance with the provisions of this Article V, Profits and Losses and all other items attributable to the transferred interest for such period shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying interests during the period in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using the interim closing of books method or, upon the unanimous approval of the Members, any other conventions permitted by law and selected by the Executive Committee. All distributions with respect to the transferred interest on or before the date of the Transfer shall be made to the transferor, and all distributions thereafter with respect to the transferred interest shall be made to

the transferee. Neither the Company nor the Executive Committee shall incur any liability for making allocations and distributions in accordance with the provisions of this Article V.

(f) Compliance with Gaming Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Membership Interest or other ownership interest in the Company shall be issued or Transferred in any manner whatsoever except in compliance with all Gaming Laws and only after the receipt of all necessary Gaming Licenses.

5.3 Gaming Licensing. Each Member agrees to promptly and diligently, at its own cost, file for and seek to obtain it and its Affiliates’ Gaming Licenses for the Aliante Project and any gaming project to be developed on the Xxxxx Property or a New Property by the Company, Xxxxx LLC, Aliante LLC or any other subsidiary of the Company.

(a) In the event that any Member (the “Problem Member”) has not received its Gaming License for the Aliante Project by the time of the Opening or, by virtue of its pending gaming application, is substantially impairing or impeding the receipt by the Company of the Gaming Licenses necessary for the Opening, then the other Member shall acquire the Problem Member’s Membership Interest, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than this Agreement), for a purchase price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Problem Member’s unreturned Capital Contribution, payable in cash, and the Problem Member and its Affiliates shall be released from all indebtedness, pledges and guaranties incurred on behalf of the Company. For a period of one (1) year after such purchase, if the Problem Member obtains its Gaming License, it shall have the option, subject to the approval of the applicable Gaming Authorities, to repurchase its Membership Interest, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than this Agreement), for a purchase price equal to the purchase price paid for such Membership Interest by the non-Problem Member, payable in cash, and assumption of one-half (1/2) of all indebtedness, pledges or guaranties outstanding by the other Member or its Affiliates on behalf of the Company. For a period of one (1) year after the purchase of the Problem Member’s Membership Interest or such time as the Problem Member repurchases its Membership Interest, whichever is shorter, the Company shall not make any distributions to its Members (other than the payment of fees and reimbursement of costs in the ordinary course of business).

(b) If, subsequent to Opening and the initial licensing of a Member, a Member (also, a “Problem Member”) is substantially impeding or impairing the ability of the Company to maintain its Gaming License for the Project, or is resulting in the imposition of significantly burdensome terms and conditions on any such Gaming Licenses (a “Gaming Problem”), then the other Member may give written notice to the Problem Member and the Problem Member shall have the lesser of that time required by the Gaming Authorities or ninety (90) days to correct such Gaming Problem. If such Gaming Problem is not corrected within the shorter of the above time periods, then the non-Problem Member may give written notice that it shall acquire the Problem Member’s Membership Interest, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than those imposed by this Agreement) for an amount equal to the Problem Member’s unreturned Capital Contributions, and the Problem Member shall be released from all indebtedness, pledges and guaranties incurred on behalf of the Company. The closing on such acquisition shall occur upon the lesser of the time required by applicable Gaming Authority or ninety (90) days after the

notice of intent to acquire the Problem Member’s Membership Interest. The purchase price shall be paid in cash.

5.4 Required Member Approvals. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the prior unanimous affirmative approval of the Members of the Company shall be required with respect to each of the following:

(a) Approval of a Restricted Activity;

(b) Approval of an Affiliate Transaction by a Member which is not an arms-length bona fide fair market value transaction;

(d) Any sale of the business or substantially all of the assets of the Company, a sale of all or any portion of the Company’s membership interest(s) in Xxxxx LLC, a sale of all or any portion of the Company’s membership interest(s) in Aliante LLC, or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity and the Members of the Company immediately prior to such transaction do not hold a majority of the Voting Stock of the entity surviving such merger, which sale or merger is not an arms-length bona fide fair market value transaction;

(e) Admission of new Member(s) pursuant to Section 5.1 or Transfers pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(iii); or

(f) Dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(a).

5.5 Place of Meetings and Meetings by Telephone. Meetings of Members shall be held at any place designated by the Executive Committee. In the absence of any such designation, meetings of Members shall be held at the principal place of business of the Company. Any meeting of the Members may be held by conference telephone or similar communications equipment so long as all Members participating in the meeting can hear one another, and all Members participating by telephone or similar communications equipment shall be deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

5.6 Annual Meeting. No annual meeting of the Members shall be required.

5.7 Special Call of Meetings. Special meetings of the Members may be called at any time by any Member owning twenty five percent (25%) or more of the Membership Interests of the Company or by the Executive Committee for the purpose of taking action upon any matter requiring the vote or authority of the Members as provided in this Agreement or the Act or upon any other matter as to which such vote or authority is deemed by the Members or the Executive Committee to be necessary or desirable; provided, however, in no event may any Member call a special meeting of the Members more than once in any four (4) week period.

5.8 Notice of Meetings of Members. All notices of meetings of Members shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 8.1 not fewer than five (5) nor more than

ninety (90) days before the date of the meeting. The notice shall specify (a) the place, date, and hour of the meeting, and (b) the general nature of the business to be transacted.

5.9 Manner of Giving Notice. Notice of any meeting of the Members shall be given pursuant to Section 8.1.

5.10 Adjourned Meeting; Notice. Any meeting of Members, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the Membership Interests represented at that meeting, either in person or by proxy. When any meeting of Members is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting, unless a new record date of the adjourned meeting is fixed or unless the adjournment is for more than sixty (60) days from the date set for the original meeting, in which case the Executive Committee shall set a new record date and shall give notice in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.8 and 5.9. At any adjourned meeting, the Company may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

5.11 Quorum; Voting. At any meeting of the Members, a majority of the Membership Interests of the Company, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for all purposes. Except as otherwise required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5.4) or the Act, all matters shall be determined by an affirmative vote of Members holding at least a majority of the Membership’s Interests of the Company when a quorum is present.

5.12 Waiver of Notice by Consent of Absent Members. The transactions of a meeting of Members however called and noticed and wherever held, shall be as valid as though taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy and if either before or after the meeting, each Person entitled to vote who was not present in person or by proxy signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any meeting of Members. Attendance by a Person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of that meeting, except when the Person objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice of the meeting if that objection is expressly made at the beginning of the meeting.

5.13 Member Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting. Except as provided in this Agreement or the Act, any action that may be taken at any meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Members holding at least a majority of the Membership Interests of the Company, or such greater number as is required by this Agreement or the Act with respect to a particular issue. Any such written consent may be executed and given by telecopy or similar electronic means. Such consents shall be filed with the Company and shall be maintained in the Company’s records.

5.14 Record Date for Member Notice, Voting, and Giving Consents.

(a) For purposes of determining the Members entitled to vote or act at any meeting or adjournment thereof, the record date for determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Members shall be at the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

(b) The record date for determining Members entitled to give consent to action in writing without a meeting, (i) when no prior action of the Executive Committee has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given or (ii) when prior action of the Executive Committee has been taken, shall be (A) such date as determined for that purpose by the Executive Committee, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing it is adopted by the Executive Committee and shall not be more than twenty (20) days after the date of such resolution or (B) if no record date is fixed by the Executive Committee, the record date shall be the close of business on the day on which the Executive Committee adopts the resolution relating to that action.

(c) Only Members of record on the record date as herein determined shall have any right to vote or to act at any meeting or give consent to any action relating to such record date, provided, however, that no Member who Transfers all or part of such Member’s Membership Interest after a record date (and no transferee of such Membership Interest) shall have the right to vote or act with respect to the transferred Membership Interest as regards the matter for which the record date was set.

5.15 In General.

(a) As of the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, each of the Members hereby makes each of the representations, warranties and covenants applicable to such Member as set forth in this Section 5.15(a) (which shall survive the execution of this Agreement) which shall be for the benefit of the Company and other Members:

(i) Due Incorporation or Formation; Authorization of Agreement. Such Person is a limited liability company, it is duly organized or duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has the limited liability company power and authority to own its property and carry on its business as owned and carried on the Effective Date and as contemplated hereby. Such Person is duly licensed or qualified to do business and in good standing in each of the jurisdictions in which the failure to be so licensed or qualified would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or its ability to perform its obligations hereunder. Such Person has the limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Person enforceable in accordance with its respective terms (except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally, and except that the availability of equitable remedies is subject to judicial discretion).

(ii) No Conflict With Restrictions; No Default. Neither the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement nor the consummation by such Person of the transactions contemplated hereby (A) will conflict with, violate, or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree, determination, or award of any court, any governmental department, board, agency, or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or any arbitrator, applicable to such Person, (B) will conflict with, violate, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of the articles of organization or operating agreement of such Person or of any material agreement or instrument to which such Person is a party or by which such Person is or may be bound or to which any of its material properties or assets is subject, (C) will conflict with, violate, result in a breach of, constitute a default under (whether with notice or lapse of time or both), accelerate or permit the acceleration of the performance required by, give to others any material interests or rights, or require any consent, authorization, or approval under any indenture, mortgage, lease agreement, or instrument to which such Person is a party or by which such Person is or may be bound, or (D) will result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the material properties or assets of such Person.

(iii) Governmental Authorizations. Any registration, declaration or filing with or consent, approval, license, permit or other authorization or order by, any governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, that is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery, acceptance, and performance by such Person under this Agreement or the consummation by such Person of any transaction contemplated hereby has been completed, made, or obtained on or before the Effective Date, except as set forth in this Agreement.

(iv) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of such Person, threatened against or affecting such Person or any of its properties, assets, or businesses in any court or before or by any governmental department, board, agency, or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or any arbitrator which could, if adversely determined (or, in the case of an investigation could lead to any action, suit, or proceeding, which if adversely determined could) reasonably be expected to materially impair such Person’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of such Person; and such Person has not received any currently effective notice of any default, and such Person is not in default, under any applicable order, writ, injunction, decree, permit, determination, or award of any court, any governmental department, board, agency, or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or any arbitrator which could reasonably be expected to materially impair such Person’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of such Person.

(v) Investigation. Such Person is acquiring its Membership Interest based upon its own investigation, and the exercise by such Person of its rights and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement will be based upon its own investigation, analysis, and expertise.

Interest is being made for its own account for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.

(vi) Accredited Investor. Such Person is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of applicable state and federal securities laws. The Person’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth, and the purchase of the Membership Interest will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

(vi) No Statute of Limitations Defense. The Company, the Members and Parent agree that during any period under the Construction Loan Documents, Expansion Project Loan Documents or Permanent Loan Documents, including any Pledge/Guaranty Documents, the Members, Parent, the Station Pledgors or the GC Pledgors are required to “stand still” with respect to claims against one another, each Party agrees not to assert the statute of limitations as a defense to any action brought by another Party to the extent such statute of limitations applies solely because of such “stand still” and the Parties agree that any such statute of limitations period shall be tolled for the period of time that any such Party is required to “stand still.”

(b) As of the Contribution Date.

The liquidating trustee shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne by the Company. Until final distribution, the liquidating trustee shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Executive Committee. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidating trustee are as follows:

(a) as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidating trustee shall cause an accounting to be made by a firm of independent public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;

(b) the liquidating trustee shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including, without limitation, all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including, without limitation, the establishment of a cash escrow fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidating trustee may reasonably determine); and

EXHIBIT D

New Property(ies)

1. If, during the Restricted Period, a Xxxxxxxx Person or a Greenspun Person acquires or intends to acquire an interest, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, in real property (or a direct or indirect interest in an entity that owns or acquires an interest, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, in real property) located in whole or in part within the Restricted Area other than an Exempt Property (a “New Property”), then no later than forty five (45) days after the first to occur of the date of acquisition of such interest or the date of acquisition of a right to acquire such interest, Station (for itself or on behalf of the Xxxxxxxx Persons, if one or more Xxxxxxxx Persons other than Station is/are acquiring the interest in the New Property) or GC (for itself or on behalf of the Greenspun Persons, if one (1) or more Greenspun Persons other than GC is/are acquiring the interest in the New Property) (the “Offering Member”) shall notify the other Member (the “Other Member”) in writing of the acquisition or the right to acquire such interest (an “Acquisition Notice”), which Acquisition Notice shall (a) describe in detail the New Property and the nature and extent of the entire interest in the New Property acquired or to be acquired by the Offering Member (the “Offering Member’s Interest”), (b) describe in detail the total costs and expenses incurred or expected to be incurred by the Offering Member (and its affiliates) in acquiring and owning the New Property, including, without limitation, (i) the purchase price of the New Property or the Offering Member’s Interest, (ii) all direct carrying costs relative to the New Property or Offering Member’s Interest actually paid or incurred by the Offering Member (including, without limitation, interest on advanced amounts at such Offering Member’s then current cost of funds, insurance and property taxes) and (iii) all transaction costs (including, without limitation, closing costs, attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, fees of other professionals, due diligence costs, transfer taxes and prorations) (collectively, “New Property Costs”) and (c) identify the actual or contemplated date of acquisition of the Offering Member’s Interest by the Offering Member.

2. The Other Member shall have the right for a period of forty five (45) days following the date of delivery of the Acquisition Notice (the “Participation Election Period”) to notify the Offering Member in writing (a “Notice to Participate”) of such Other Member’s binding, irrevocable election (a “Participation Election”) to acquire a fifty percent (50%) interest in the Offering Member’s Interest for an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of New Property Costs, which election shall be binding on the Parties.

3. If the Other Member (a) fails, for any reason, to deliver a Notice to Participate within the Participation Election Period or (b) notifies the Offering Member in writing before the expiration of the Participation Election Period of such Offering Member’s decision not to exercise its Participation Election (which notification shall be irrevocable), then the Other Member shall have no rights with respect to the New Property or the Offering Member’s Interest, except that (i) such New Property shall be subject to the Section 3.8(a) Restrictions and (ii) the Offering Member shall not (either directly or indirectly) own, develop, manage or operate such New Property as a hotel and/or gaming activity during

the Restricted Period. For purposes of clarity, it shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Exhibit D, the Agreement or the Aliante Operating Agreement for a Xxxxxxxx Person, alone or with other Xxxxxxxx Persons and/or other Persons, or a Greenspun Person, alone or with other Greenspun Persons and/or with other Persons, to acquire an interest, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, in any such New Property in compliance with this Exhibit D which is thereafter developed during the Restricted Period with a hotel and/or casino use if and so long as such hotel and/or casino use does not open for business during the Restricted Period.

4. If the Other Member timely delivers a Notice to Participate to the Offering Member, then within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Other Member so notifies the Offering Member, (i) the Members shall cause the Company to acquire the New Property or Offering Member’s Interest through a newly formed limited liability company that will be wholly-owned by the Company or equally by the Members, (ii) the terms of the operating agreement of such newly-formed limited liability company (the “New Property Operating Agreement”) shall be as mutually agreed to by the Members or, in the event the Members are unable to agree on the definitive terms and conditions thereof during such thirty (30)-day period, then on substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Losee Operating Agreement (modified, as necessary, to reflect the differences between the New Property and the Losee Property and the terms and conditions of its purchase); provided, however, that (a) all decisions regarding the development of the New Property shall require the joint approval of both Members (or their Affiliates or representatives in the executive committee of such new limited liability company, as the case may be) and (b) there shall be no “conflict of interest” provision analogous to Section 3.8 of the Aliante Operating Agreement or other non-competition provision. GC and Station shall jointly fund the acquisition cost of such New Property with Additional Capital Contributions to the Company, which the Company shall, in turn, contribute to the new limited liability company for such purpose.

5. If the Other Member timely delivers a Notice to Participate to the Offering Member but the Other Member fails to fund its share of the Additional Capital Contributions necessary to fund the purchase price of the New Property of Offering Member’s Interest (or 50% of the New Property Costs attributable thereto) in accordance with the terms set forth in Paragraph 4 above, the Offering Member may elect either (a) to treat such failure as a failure of the Other Member to deliver a Notice to Participate within the Participation Election Period as provided in Paragraph 4 above or (b) to exercise all rights and remedies under applicable law for breach of the agreements set forth in this Exhibit D.

6. If the Other Member timely delivers a Notice to Participate to the Offering Member but the Offering Member fails to transfer the Offered Member’s Interest (or New Property, as applicable) or to fund its share of the Additional Capital Contributions necessary to fund the purchase price of the Offering Member’s Interest or the New Property in accordance with the terms set forth in Paragraph 4 above, the Other Member may elect either (a) to require specific performance by the Offering Member of its Additional Capital Contribution obligations in accordance with the term set forth in Paragraph 4 above and the Offering Member hereby consents to such remedy, if so elected by the Other

Member, or (b) to exercise all rights and remedies under applicable law for breach of the agreements set forth in this Exhibit D.

7. The Members acknowledge and agree that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of this Exhibit D and that a Member, may in its sole discretion, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting a bond) in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Exhibit D, and both Members acknowledge the right of the other Member to obtain specific performance and or injunctive relief (without posting a bond) in accordance with this Exhibit D.
