2.5 Procedures for Assumption of Agreements.

(a) Subject to the receipt of any required third-party consents, at the Closing, the Seller shall assume and assign to Purchaser the Assumed Agreements.

(b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the conveyance, assignment or transfer of any Purchased Asset that by its terms or by operation of Law cannot be conveyed, assigned, transferred or assumed without approval or consent. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other’s reasonable requests for assistance in the solicitation of any such required approvals or consents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the sale, assignment, license, sublicense, transfer, conveyance or delivery or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery to Purchaser of any asset that would be a Purchased Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom is prohibited by any applicable Law or would require any governmental or third party authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers and such authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing, the Closing shall proceed without the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of such asset unless such failure causes a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in ARTICLE X, in which event the Closing shall proceed only if the failed condition is waived by the party entitled to the benefit thereof. In the event that the failed condition is waived (except for those conditions set forth in Section 10.3 hereof, which cannot be waived) and the Closing proceeds without the transfer or assignment of any such asset, then following the Closing, Purchaser and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and cooperate with each other, to obtain promptly such authorizations, approvals, consents and waivers. Pending such authorization, approval, consent or waiver, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in any mutually agreeable arrangement designed to provide Purchaser with all of the benefits of use of such asset and to the Seller the benefits, including any indemnities, that they would have obtained had the asset been conveyed to Purchaser at the Closing. Once authorization, approval, consent or waiver for the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such asset not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or delivered at Closing is obtained, the Seller shall assign, transfer, convey and deliver such asset to Purchaser at no additional cost. To the extent that any such asset cannot be transferred or the full benefits or use of any such asset cannot be provided to Purchaser following the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.5(b), then Purchaser and the Seller shall enter into such arrangements (including subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to the parties hereto the economic (taking into account Tax costs and benefits) and operational equivalent, to the extent permitted, of obtaining such authorization, approval, consent or waiver and the performance by Purchaser of the obligations thereunder. The Seller shall hold in trust for and pay to Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by the Seller derived from its use of any Purchased Asset in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.5(b).

2.6 Further Conveyances and Assumptions.

(a) From time to time following the Closing, to the extent not transferred to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(k) and to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, make available to Purchaser such data in personnel records of Transferred Employees as is reasonably necessary for Purchaser to effect the transition of such Employees into Purchaser’s records, provided that the Seller, at its election, shall be permitted to retain copies of such data or records in electronic or paper format.

(b) From time to time following the Closing, the Seller and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, assignments, consents, notices, assumptions, releases and acquaintances and such other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure fully to Purchaser and its respective successors or assigns, the transfer of all of the properties, rights, titles, interests, estates, remedies, powers and privileges intended to be conveyed to Purchaser under this Agreement and the Seller Documents and to assure fully to the Seller and its Affiliates and successors and assigns, the assumption of the liabilities and obligations intended to be assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement

and the Seller Documents, and to otherwise make effective the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

2.7 Bulk Sales Law. Purchaser hereby waives, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Seller Documents, compliance by the Seller with the requirements and provisions of any “bulk-transfer” provision of Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code as it is in effect in the states where the Seller owns assets to be conveyed to Purchaser hereunder and other similar bulk transfer notice provisions or Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale and transfer of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser other than bulk-transfer tax notice provisions.

Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each such Party shall promptly inform the other Parties of any communication with any Governmental Entity regarding any such filings or any such transactions. No Party hereto shall independently participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other Party prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and/or participate; provided, however that this requirement shall not extend to any discussion regarding any finding of suitability application of a Representative of Purchaser.

(c) Each of Purchaser and the Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, in the case of Purchaser, mandatory disassociation with a Representative of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates if reasonably requested by the Governmental Entity. In connection therewith, if any Legal Proceeding is instituted (or threatened in writing to be instituted) challenging that any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, each of Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such Legal 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, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by pursuing all reasonably available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal and all reasonably available legislative action, unless either the Purchaser or the Seller reasonably decides that litigation is not in its best interests.

8.4 Further Assurances. Each of the Seller and Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) take all actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) cause the fulfillment at the earliest practicable date of all of the conditions to their respective obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and, in connection with the foregoing, respond to inquiries from the other Party regarding the status of such actions or conditions.

8.5 Confidentiality.

8.6 Preservation of Records. For a period ending seven (7) years after the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be required by any Governmental Entity or ongoing claim), to the extent allowed by applicable Law, each Party (the “Requested Party”) shall allow the other Party and any of its directors, officers, employees, counsel, representatives, accountants and auditors, at the requesting Party’s sole cost and expense, reasonable access during normal business hours, and upon reasonable advance notice, to all employees and files of the Requested Party and any books and records and other materials included in the Purchased Assets relating to periods prior to the Closing Date in connection with the general business purposes of the Seller, whether or not relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the preparation of Tax Returns, amended Tax Returns or claims for refund (and any materials necessary for the preparation of any of the foregoing), financial statements for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, the management and handling of any audit, investigation, litigation or other proceeding in, whether such audit, investigation, litigation or other proceeding is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder), and complying with the rules and regulations of the IRS, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other Governmental Entity or otherwise relating to the Seller’s other businesses or operations or such causes of action, provided that after the Closing Date, any Party in possession of such books and records and other materials may dispose of such books and records and other materials after such Party gives the other Party a reasonable opportunity, at such other Party’s expense, to segregate and remove such books and records and other materials as such Party may select. Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make Transferred Employees available to participate in any claim, litigation or investigation brought by any Governmental Entity or any other Person against the Seller or any of its Affiliates or any former officer, director, or employee of the Seller to the extent that such participation has been requested by the Seller or any of its Affiliates or any Governmental Entity.

8.7 Publicity. Except as required by Law or any filings by the Seller or its Affiliates with the Governmental Entities, including without limitation the Securities and Exchange Commission and Federal Trade Commission, neither the Seller nor Purchaser shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other Party hereto, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Party intending to make any such release it deems required by Law shall use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law to consult with the other Party with respect to the text thereof.

8.8 Supplementation and Amendment of Schedules. From time to time prior to Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser may supplement or amend its Schedules with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered after the delivery of the Schedules pursuant to this Agreement. Any such supplement or amendment shall supplement and amend the Schedules for all purposes hereunder including the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing set forth in ARTICLE X.

ARTICLE IX
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

9.1 Employees. Subject to operating the Casino Business in the Ordinary Course of Business with respect to hiring and firing decisions, the Seller shall continue to employ all Employees up to and including the Closing Date, and shall terminate all Employees on the day after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall offer employment effective as of the Closing to all active, full-time Employees on terms that are, in the aggregate, substantially similar to their employment with Seller with respect to then current compensation and benefits. Such active, full-time Employees who accept Purchaser’s offer of employment shall be referred to as the “Transferred Employees.” To facilitate Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 9.1, upon request, the Seller shall provide Purchaser within a reasonable period prior to the Closing a true and correct list of all full-time Employees, including with respect to any inactive Employee, the reason for such inactive status and, if applicable, the anticipated date of return to active employment.

(a) Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide continued employment for the Transferred Employees for a period of at least thirty (30) days (the “Probationary Period”). Purchaser anticipates retaining the majority of the Transferred Employees and anticipates that fewer than fifty (50) full-time employees will experience any employment loss following the Probationary Period.

(b) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Seller or its Affiliates shall take all actions reasonably necessary to terminate the participation of each Transferred Employee in any Seller Benefit Plan that is not an Assumed Benefit Plan. Purchaser shall or shall cause its Affiliates to take commercially reasonable efforts so that there shall be in effect as of the Closing Date “employee welfare benefit plans,” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of the ERISA (including medical, life insurance and other such employee welfare benefit plans) that provide Transferred Employees with similar benefits (including medical, life insurance and other such employee welfare benefit plans) as provided under the Seller Benefit Plans as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall recognize the dollar amount of all expenses incurred by each Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations or exclusions under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing, to the extent such deductibles and co-payments credits are permitted by Purchaser’s benefit plans. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be responsible for providing, either under an Assumed Benefit Plan or a welfare benefit plan sponsored by the Purchaser or its Affiliate, the

continuation of group health coverage required by Section 4980B(f) of the Code to each “M&A Qualified Beneficiary” as defined under Section 54.4980B-9 of the Treasury Regulations.

(c) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any employment loss within the meaning of the WARN Act suffered by any Employee immediately upon or within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date shall have been caused by Purchaser’s decision not to continue the employment of such employee, and not by the sale of the Purchased Assets. Purchaser shall be responsible to and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates for any and all claims asserted under the WARN Act because of a “plant closing” or “mass layoff,” as defined therein, occurring after the Closing Date due in whole or in part to the actions or omissions of Purchaser. The Seller shall be responsible to and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser for any and all claims asserted under the WARN Act because of a “plant closing” or “mass layoff,” as defined therein, occurring prior to or on the Closing Date due in whole or in part to the actions or omissions of the Seller.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the Closing Date is and shall be the same as the “effective date” of the sale within the meaning of the WARN Act. The Seller is required to give all notices that may be required under and otherwise to comply with all provisions of the WARN Act for all terminations of the Employees that occur up to and including the Closing. Further, the Purchaser shall have no such obligation with respect to WARN Act Liabilities that arise due to the actions or omissions of Seller up to and including the Closing. Purchaser is only required to give all notices required under and otherwise to comply with all provisions of the WARN Act for all involuntary terminations of the Employees that occur after the Closing Date. The Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser so that Purchaser may comply with the WARN Act, including providing Purchaser with information regarding the Employees’ status as full-time or part-time as defined by the WARN Act, providing Purchaser with information regarding involuntary employee terminations during the ninety (90) days prior to Closing, and giving Purchaser access to the Employees to disseminate a notice pursuant to the WARN Act in the event Purchaser determines in its sole discretion that such notice must be given to the Employees prior to Closing due to terminations it will execute during the ninety (90) days immediately following Closing. If Purchaser determines in its sole discretion that notice must be given to the Employees prior to Closing pursuant to the WARN Act, the providing of such notice shall not be deemed to violate any of the confidentiality or publicity provisions contained in this Agreement.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.1 are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Employees), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 9.1) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 9.1 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be construed to modify, amend, or establish any benefit plan, program or arrangement or in any way affect the ability of the Parties hereto to modify, amend or terminate any of its benefit plans, programs or arrangements.

9.2 Reservations; Chips; Customer Information and Property.

(a) Reservations. Following Closing, Purchaser shall honor the terms and rates of all pre-Closing reservations (in accordance with their terms) with respect to the Casino Business by customers, including advance reservation cash deposits, for services confirmed by the Seller for any time subsequent to the Closing, to the extent that such reservations were made in the Ordinary Course of Business. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller may continue to accept reservations for periods after the Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business in operating the Casino Business. Purchaser recognizes that such reservations may include discounts or other benefits, including benefits extended under the Seller’s

or its Affiliates’ player loyalty program or any other frequent player or casino awards programs, group discounts, or other discounts or requirements that food, beverage or other benefits be delivered by the Seller to the guest or guests, as the case may be, holding such reservations. Purchaser shall honor all banquet facility and service agreements which have been granted to groups, persons or other customers for periods after the Closing Date at the rates and on the terms provided in such agreements, to the extent that such agreements were made prior to Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business. Purchaser agrees that the Seller cannot make any representation or warranty that any party holding a reservation or agreement for facilities or services shall utilize such reservation or honor such agreement. Purchaser, by the execution hereof, solely assumes the risk of non-utilization of reservations and non-performance of such agreements from and after the Closing. Schedule 9.2(a) sets forth all of the Seller’s outstanding reservations with respect to the Casino Business as of the date of this Agreement. Seller agrees to supplement and update such schedule as of the Closing Date.

(b) Disposition of Chips. From and after (i) the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be solely responsible and liable for compliance with applicable Mississippi Gaming Regulations, other Gaming Laws or any applicable Order with respect to any of the Seller’s or its Affiliates’ gaming chips, tokens or plaquemines, including any obligation to destroy the same; and (ii) the date that is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cease to issue or use and shall not reissue or reuse any of the Seller’s or its Affiliates’ gaming chips, tokens or plaquemines.

(c) Guests’ Baggage and Other Items. On the Closing Date, employees, agents or representatives of the Parties jointly shall make a written inventory of all baggage, boxes and similar items checked in or left in the care of the Seller at the Casino Business, and the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser the keys to any secured area which such baggage and other items are stored (and thereafter such baggage, boxes and other items inventoried shall be deemed the “Inventoried Baggage”). Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, successors and permitted assigns for any and all claims asserted or losses incurred by any of the Seller and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, successors and permitted assigns with respect to any theft, loss or damage to any Inventoried Baggage from and after the time of such inventory, and any other baggage, boxes or similar items left in the care of Purchaser which was not inventoried by the Parties.

(d) Safe Deposit Boxes. Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall notify all guests or customers who are then using a safe deposit box at the Casino Business advising them of the pending change in ownership of the Casino Business and requesting them to conduct an inventory and verify the contents of such safe deposit box. All inventories by such guests or customers shall be conducted under the joint supervision of employees, agents or representatives of the Parties. Upon such inventory and verification, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all keys, receipts and agreements for such safe deposit box (and thereafter such safe deposit box shall be deemed an “Inventoried Safe Deposit Box”). If this Agreement is terminated after such inventory, Purchaser shall return all keys, receipts and agreements to the Seller for such Inventoried Safe Deposit Boxes immediately upon such termination. Upon Closing, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all keys in the Seller’s possession for all safe deposit boxes not then in use, and a list of all safe deposit boxes which are then in use, but not yet inventoried by the depositor, with the name and room number of such depositor. After the Closing, the Parties shall make appropriate arrangements for guests and customers at the Casino Business to inventory and verify the contents of the safe deposit boxes that are not Inventoried Safe Deposit Boxes, and upon such inventory and verification, the Seller shall deliver to Purchaser all keys, receipt and agreements for such safe deposit box (and such safe deposit box thereafter shall constitute an Inventoried Safe Deposit Box). Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, successors and permitted assigns for any and all claims asserted or losses incurred by any of the Seller and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, successors and permitted assigns

with respect to any theft, loss or damage to the contents of any safe deposit box from and after the time such safe deposit box is deemed an Inventoried Safe Deposit Box pursuant to this Section 9.2(d).

9.3 Certain Transactions. Prior to the Closing, neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates nor any of their respective Representatives shall take, or agree to commit to take, any action that (or fail to take, or agree to fail to take, any action, which failure to take) would or is reasonably likely to delay the receipt of, or to adversely impact the ability of Purchaser to obtain, any Governmental Approval necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or necessary to permit Purchaser to acquire the Purchased Assets and operate the Casino Business, in each case, after the Closing in substantially the same manner as owned and operated by the Company prior to the Closing. Without limiting the foregoing:

(a) Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective Representatives shall withdraw, rescind, revoke or otherwise terminate or cancel any applications, filings or other submissions made in connection with obtaining any Governmental Approvals (or cause any of the foregoing to occur), unless requested by the applicable Governmental Authority to resubmit such application with modification; and

(b) If (i) any Governmental Entity has issued an Order or taken any other action denying or given any indication it might not grant to Purchaser any necessary Governmental Approvals or determining or indicating that such Governmental Entity will not issue to Purchaser all necessary Governmental Approvals, or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity shall have issued an Order or taken any other action having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Closing and the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser, and its Affiliates shall use their respective best efforts, including mandatory disassociation with a Representative of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates if reasonably requested by the Governmental Entity, to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any such order, decree, ruling or action and to have issued such Governmental Approvals (including exhausting all available remedies, challenges and appeals).

9.4 Insurance Policies. The Seller’s fire and casualty insurance and other insurance policies shall be cancelled by the Seller or its applicable Affiliate as of the Closing Date, and any refunded premiums shall be retained by the Seller. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for acquiring and placing its casualty insurance, business interruption insurance, liability insurance and other insurance policies for periods after the Closing.

9.5 Insurance; Casualty and Condemnation.

(a) If, before the Closing, the Purchased Assets are damaged by fire or other casualty and such damage is less than $100,000, the Closing shall proceed as scheduled and the Company shall, as of the Closing, (i) promptly pay to Purchaser all insurance proceeds received by the Company or its Affiliates with respect to such damage, destruction or other loss, less any proceeds applied to the physical restoration of the Purchased Assets and (ii) assign to Purchaser all rights of the Company and its Affiliates against third parties (including its insurance carriers) with respect to any causes of action, whether or not litigation has commenced as of the Closing Date, in connection with such damage, destruction or other loss, and such proceeds shall constitute full compensation for the damage to the Purchased Assets, and the Company shall have no responsibility for restoration or repair of the Purchased Assets or any resultant loss, directly, by subrogation, or otherwise.

(b) In the event that a condemnation proceeding or payment in lieu of condemnation occurs in relation to any part of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date and such payment is less than $100,000, the Closing shall proceed as scheduled and the Company shall assign and turn over to

Purchaser effective as of the Closing, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards for the taking by condemnation and Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Purchased Assets subject to the taking without reduction in the Purchase Price.

(c) If, before the Closing, the Purchased Assets are damaged by fire or other casualty and such damage is greater than $100,000 and (i) the Seller has failed to cure such damage within thirty (30) days from the date of such fire or other casualty; or (ii) in the case of damage that cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days and the Seller has commenced and is diligently and continuously prosecuting the cure during such thirty (30) day period, the Seller has failed to cure such damage within ninety (90) days from the date of such fire or other casualty, then the Purchaser, at its sole option, may elect to (x) proceed with the Closing as scheduled, in which case Section 9.5(a) will apply; or (y) terminate this Agreement.

(d) In the event that a condemnation proceeding or payment in lieu of condemnation occurs in relation to any part of the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date and such payment is greater than $100,000, then the Purchaser, at its sole option, may elect to (i) proceed with the Closing as scheduled, in which case Section 9.5(b) will apply; or (ii) terminate this Agreement.

9.6 Post-Closing Use of Marks Associated with the Casino Business.

(a) Purchaser agrees that at and after the Closing, except as expressly permitted by Section 9.6(c), Purchaser shall not have the right to use any Excluded Intellectual Property, including the words “Tropicana” or any other Intellectual Property that is derived from, relates to or is deceptively or confusingly similar to such name or that would in any way suggest a relationship or affiliation with the Seller or any of its Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, except as expressly permitted by Section 9.6(c), promptly following the Closing (and in no event later than the 90th day after the Closing) Purchaser shall delete the words “Tropicana” and “TROP” and all other Excluded Intellectual Property from the names, logos, marks, d/b/a’s (if any), and any other uses in association with the Purchased Assets.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, except as expressly permitted by Section 9.6(c), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days from the Closing Date, Purchaser shall remove or cover the names “Tropicana” or “TROP” and any other Excluded Intellectual Property from all signs, buildings, billboards, advertising materials, websites, chips, cards, gaming supplies and equipment, telephone listings, labels, stationery, office forms, packaging or other materials included in the Purchased Assets, and thereafter, Purchaser shall not use such names or any other Excluded Intellectual Property.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.6(c), Purchaser may, during the ninety (90)-day period following the Closing Date, continue to use the names “Tropicana” or “TROP” to the extent that it is not practicable to remove or cover up such Intellectual Property. Any use of the names “Tropicana” or “TROP” by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.6(c) shall: (i) be in conformity with the practices of the Seller as of the Closing Date, (ii) be in a manner that does not in any way harm or disparage the Seller or its Affiliates or the reputation or goodwill of the Tropicana or TROP Marks and (iii) be contingent on Purchaser maintaining the quality of goods and services used in connection with the Tropicana or TROP Marks at a standard at least as high as that of the goods and services offered and sold by the Seller as of the Closing Date.

(d) Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at Law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 9.6 would be inadequate, and agrees and consents that without intending to limit any additional remedies that may be available, temporary and permanent injunctive and

other equitable relief may be granted without proof of actual damage or inadequacy of legal remedy in any Legal Proceeding which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 9.6.

9.7 No Control. Except as permitted by the terms of this Agreement, prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall not directly or indirectly control, supervise, direct or interfere with, or attempt to control, supervise, direct or interfere with, the Casino Business or the Employees. Until the Closing, the operations and affairs of the Casino Business and the Purchased Assets are the sole responsibility of and under the Seller’s complete control, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

9.8 Employee Solicitation.

(a) Beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date that is the first anniversary of the Closing Date, neither the Seller nor any of the Seller’s Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, solicit, entice, or encourage any person who shall have been an Employee during such time, or any other employee of the Seller during such time, to leave such person’s employment with Purchaser; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) a general solicitation of the public for employment so long as such general solicitation is not specifically targeted to employees, officers or directors of Purchaser or (ii) to individuals who initiate contact with the Seller or any of the Seller’s Affiliates regarding such employment without any encouragement or solicitation by the Seller or any of its Affiliates.

(b) Beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date that is one year following the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, solicit, entice, or encourage any Employee that is not a Transferred Employee or any other person who shall have been an employee of the Seller or its Affiliates (other than with respect to the Transferred Employees) during such time, and with whom Purchaser or any of its Affiliates had contact in connection with, or who was specifically identified to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for purposes of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to leave such person’s employment with the Seller or its Affiliates (other than with respect to the Transferred Employees); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) a general solicitation of the public for employment so long as such general solicitation is not specifically targeted to employees, officers or directors of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, as the case may be, or (ii) to individuals who initiate contact with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates regarding such employment without any encouragement or solicitation by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 1st day of December, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Columbia Properties Vicksburg, LLC, a Mississippi limited liability company (“Seller”), Delta Investments & Development, LLC a Nevada limited liability company (“Purchaser”), and Chicago Title and Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of the 1st day of December, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Purchaser has agreed to purchase from Seller all of the Purchased Assets (as defined in the Purchase Agreement);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser is required to deposit certain funds into escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as prepayment of a portion of the Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); and

WHEREAS, on August 5, 2010, Tropicana Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and the Escrow Agent entered into a Sale Order Agreement (the “Prior Escrow Agreement”) concerning the deposit of $75,325.00 (which included $75,000.00 (the “First Deposit”) and a $325.00 escrow fee and $25.00 wire fee).

WHEREAS, this Agreement supersedes the Prior Escrow Agreement and such Prior Escrow Agreement is hereby terminated;

WHEREAS, any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Escrow Agent is willing to act as escrow agent hereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW FUND

Under the Prior Escrow Agreement, Purchaser delivered the First Deposit. Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Purchaser has delivered to Escrow Agent for deposit into an account by wire transfer of immediately available funds the sum of $225,000.00 (the “Second Deposit”, and together with the First Deposit, the “Escrowed Funds”). Escrow Agent shall initially deposit the Escrowed Funds in a separate trust account and shall invest and reinvest the Escrowed Funds and the interest therefrom in such investment grade securities as Purchaser and Seller may direct from time to time pursuant to joint written instructions. All amounts so earned from such investments and reinvestments shall be deemed to be included in the Escrowed Funds. The Escrowed Funds shall be held by Escrow Agent subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The Parent and the Escrow Agent hereby agree that this agreement supersedes the Prior Escrow Agreement and such prior escrow agreement is hereby terminated.

Exhibit A-1

Escrow Agent shall not have any liability for any loss sustained as a result of any investment made pursuant to the instructions of the parties or as a result of any liquidation of any such investment prior to its maturity or for the failure of the parties to give Escrow Agent any instruction to invest or reinvest the Escrowed Funds or any earnings thereon.

ARTICLE II

DISTRIBUTION OF ESCROWED FUNDS

Section 2.1 Distribution of Escrowed Funds. Escrow Agent shall distribute the Escrowed Funds as follows:

(a) Termination of Purchase Agreement.

(i) In the event that the Purchase Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.4(a), Section 4.4(d), Section 4.4(e), Section 9.5(c) or Section 9.5(d) thereof, Purchaser may thereafter terminate the Purchase Agreement by providing written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent. Within five (5) days after its receipt of such written notice from Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall release and distribute the Escrowed Funds to Purchaser. In such event, Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that such notice from Purchaser shall effectively terminate the Purchase Agreement.

(ii) In the event that the Purchase Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.4(b), 4.4(c), or Section 4.4(f) thereof, Seller may thereafter terminate the Purchase Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent. Within five (5) days after its receipt of such written notice from Seller, Escrow Agent shall release and distribute the Escrowed Funds to Seller. In such event, Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that such notice from Seller shall effectively terminate the Purchase Agreement.

(b) Closing of Transaction. In the event Purchaser provides written notice to Escrow Agent that the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is closing, Escrow Agent shall release and distribute the Escrowed Funds to Seller on the Closing Date, to an account as directed by Seller.

(c) Mutual Consent. Within five (5) days after its receipt of joint written instructions from Purchaser and Seller, Escrow Agent shall release and distribute the Escrowed Funds in any other manner as so directed. If such distribution is intended to result in the termination of this Escrow Agreement, both Purchaser and Seller shall confirm that fact for Escrow Agent in writing.

Section 2.2 Full Disbursement. Upon distribution of all of the Escrowed Funds by Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.1, this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, Escrow Agent shall still be entitled to recover any unpaid fees and expenses that it is due hereunder.

Exhibit A-2

ARTICLE III

ESCROW AGENT

Section 3.1 Obligations of Escrow Agent.

(a) Duties. It is agreed that the duties and obligations of Escrow Agent are those herein specifically provided and no other. Escrow Agent shall have no liability or obligation with respect to the Escrowed Funds except for Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility shall be for the safekeeping, investment, and disbursement of the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties or obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance, except as specifically set forth herein or in a notice delivered pursuant hereto.

(b) Right to Follow Instructions. Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for following the instructions herein contained or expressly provided for, or written instructions given by the parties hereto.

(c) No Duty to Verify. Escrow Agent shall not have any responsibility for the genuineness or validity of any document or other material presented to or deposited with it nor any liability for any action taken, suffered or omitted in accordance with any written instructions or certificates given to it hereunder and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties.

(d) Conflicting Instructions. In the event that Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action until receipt of a Final Determination.

(e) Legal Proceedings. Escrow Agent shall not be required to institute legal proceedings of any kind and shall not be required to initiate or defend any legal proceedings which may be instituted against it in respect of the subject matter of this Agreement. If Escrow Agent does elect to act it will do so only to the extent that it is indemnified to its satisfaction against the cost and expense of such defense or initiation. In the event of any disagreement between any of the parties to this Agreement or between any of them and any other person which may result in adverse claims or demands being made in connection with the Escrowed Funds or this Agreement or in the event that the Escrow Agent, in good faith, should be in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder, Escrow Agent may, at its option, refuse to comply with any claims or demands on it or refuse to take any other action hereunder. Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel of its choice in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the opinion and instructions of such counsel. So long as any such disagreement or doubt continues to exist, Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way whatsoever or to any person for its failure or refusal to comply with directions or instructions that would otherwise be mandatory with respect to the Escrowed Funds. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to continue to so refrain from acting until (i) the rights of all parties shall have been fully and finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) all differences shall have been adjusted and all doubt resolved by agreement among all interested persons, and the Escrow Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing signed by all such persons. The rights of the Escrow Agent under this paragraph are cumulative of all other rights that it may have by law or otherwise. Escrow Agent specifically reserves the right to deposit all property in its possession in connection with this Agreement into the registry of a court of competent jurisdiction in Illinois an interpleader or other proceeding upon directing notice to Purchaser and Seller as provided hereinabove and thereby shall be relieved of any further responsibility under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement for all legal fees and costs incurred by it in connection with any interpleader or other action filed by Escrow Agent hereunder and in connection with any dispute or claim involving the Escrowed Funds or this Agreement.

(f) Changes to the Agreement. Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification, amendment, termination, cancellation, rescission or supersession of this Agreement unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all of the other parties hereto and, if its rights, duties, immunities or indemnities as Escrow Agent are affected thereby, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

Section 3.2 Release of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent (and any successor escrow agent) may at any time resign by giving written notice of its resignation to the parties hereto at their respective addresses set forth in this Agreement, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date specified for such resignation to take effect, and upon the effective date of such resignation, all property then held by Escrow Agent shall be delivered by it to such person as may be jointly designated in writing by Purchaser and Seller, whereupon all of Escrow Agent’s duties and obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate. Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility thereafter shall be to keep safely all property then held by it pursuant to this Agreement and to deliver the same to a person or persons designated in accordance with any Final Determination. Any successor escrow agent shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser and Seller an instrument accepting such duties and obligations hereunder; and thereupon such successor escrow agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all rights, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this Agreement, with like effect as if originally named Escrow Agent.

Section 3.3 Indemnity of Escrow Agent. Purchaser and Seller severally agree to indemnify Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless from, and against one-half of any loss, liability or expense incurred by Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with its duties, obligations or

Exhibit A-3

performance as Escrow Agent hereunder, except as caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct, including the reasonable legal costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with its performance hereunder. The terms of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and, with respect to claims arising in connection with Escrow Agent’s duties while acting as such, the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

Section 3.4 Fees of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for services according to the Fee Schedule attached hereto as Schedule A. All fees shall be paid in United States currency and payable in the United States at the office of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall have a first lien on the Escrowed Funds held by it for compensation reimbursement and indemnification. Purchaser and Seller agree that, as between themselves, Escrow Agent’s fees shall be shared equally by both parties.

ARTICLE IV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 4.1 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Purchaser, Seller and Escrow Agent and their respective successors and assigns.

Hotel Roof Repair and Mold Remediation

Roof Repairs: The roof is made up of a single ply membrane area and a sheet metal mansard area. The membrane area was carefully inspected and no defects were found. The sheet metal mansard area was carefully inspected and the source of the water infiltration was found to be leaks in the gutter system. The gutter system is accessible only from the exterior of the roof. R&R Sheet Metal has been contracted to repair the gutter system by the application of specialty mastic material and will be reinforced with fabric. This work is contingent on weather conditions but should be complete by mid December 2010.

Mold Remediation: Forensic Analytical Consulting Services conducted a mold assessment and identified 10 rooms that required professional remediation on October 20, 2010. This service was contracted and is underway now. This work will be monitored and checked for compliance by FACS when the work is complete which is expected by the end of Nov. There were several areas of minor nuisance mold which the staff was trained to remediate those areas by FACS.
