(ii) Except as otherwise expressly required by law, a Member, including the Managing Member, in its capacity as Member or Managing Member, shall have no liability in excess of (a) the amount of its Capital Contributions, (b) its share of any assets and undistributed profits of the Company, (c) its obligation to make other payments expressly provided for in this Agreement, and (d) the amount of any distributions wrongfully distributed to it.

(ii) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid.

Section 12.3. Duties and Liabilities of Covered Persons.

(i) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

(ii) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between the Managing Member and any other Covered Person, or (b) whenever this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein provides that the Managing Member shall act in a manner that is, or provide terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Company or any other Member, the Managing Member shall resolve such conflict of interest, take such action or provide such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles. In the absence of bad faith by the Managing Member, the resolution, action or term so made, taken or provided by the Managing Member shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or of any duty or obligation of the Managing Member at law or in equity or otherwise.

(iii) Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in its “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Covered Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person, or (b) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Covered Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or other applicable law.

Section 12.4. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this

Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 12.4 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Covered Person shall have any personal liability on account thereof.

Section 12.5. Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section 12.4 hereof.

Section 12.6. Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as the Managing Member shall, in its sole discretion, deem reasonable, on behalf of Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Managing Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the activities of the Company or such indemnities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The Managing Member and the Company may enter into indemnity contracts with Covered Persons and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under Section 12.5 hereof and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate.

Section 12.7. Outside Businesses. Any Member or Affiliate thereof may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Company, and the Company and the Members shall have no rights by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. No Member of Affiliate thereof shall be obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company, and any Member or Affiliate thereof shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner, shareholder, fiduciary or otherwise) or to recommend to other any such particular investment opportunity.

REDEMPTION OF INTERESTS

Section 13.1. Redemption.

(a) Each Member’s Interest shall be held subject to the condition that the Company has the absolute right to redeem such Interest by action of the Managing Member, if, (A) in the judgment of the Managing Member, any Member is determined by any gaming regulatory agency to be unsuitable, or has an application for a license or permit rejected, or has a previously issued license or permit rescinded, suspended, revoked or not renewed, as the case may be, or that such action otherwise should be taken to the extent necessary to avoid any regulatory sanctions or, to prevent the loss of or secure the reinstatement of any gaming license, franchise or entitlement from any governmental agency held by the Company, any Affiliate of the Company or any entity in which such Company or Affiliate is an owner, which gaming license, franchise or entitlement is (i) conditioned upon some or all of the Members possessing prescribed qualifications, or (ii) needed to allow the conduct of any portion of the business of the Company or any such Affiliate or other entity; or (B) any Member fails to enforce the provisions of Section 13.1 (e) of this Agreement against its direct owners or any parties Controlled by, Controlling or under common Control with such Member; provided that no Member whose equity securities are publicly traded pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or NASDAQ shall be required to enforce the provisions of Section 13.1(e) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Article XIII, “Control” shall mean the ability, whether by the direct or indirect ownership of shares or other equity interests, by contract or otherwise, to elect a majority of the directors of a corporation, to select the managing partner of a partnership or to control a majority of the members of the governing board of such partnership representing any single partner, or otherwise to select, or have the power to remove and select, a majority of those persons exercising governing authority over an entity, and, in the case of a limited partnership shall mean the sole general partner, all of the general partners to the extent each has equal management control and authority, or the managing general partner or managing general partners thereof.

(b) The terms of any redemption pursuant to this Article XIII shall permit the Company to redeem the Interest of a disqualified Member at a redemption price equal to the fair market value of such Interest, excluding any distributions or other remuneration thereon from the date the Company receives notice of a determination of unsuitability or disqualification from the government agency, or in such lesser amount as may be specified by any applicable gaming law, regulation or rule. Any Interest redeemed by the Company pursuant to this Article XIII shall be deemed cancelled.

(c) In connection with the redemption of a Member’s Interest pursuant to this Article XIII, the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, may issue additional Interests to any Person and admit any such Person as an additional member of the Company (each, an, “Additional Member”). The admission of any such Person as an Additional Member shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the Effective Date (as defined in Section 13.1 (d) hereof) and shall occur upon (i) the execution by such Person of this Agreement or a counterpart to this Agreement and (ii) the reflection of such Person as a Member on Schedule A hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon the admission of an Additional Member pursuant to this Section 13.1 (c), the Company shall not be dissolved and its business shall be continued by the remaining Members.

(d) From and after the redemption date or such earlier date as mandated by any applicable gaming law, regulation or rule (the “Effective Date”), a Member whose Interest has been selected for redemption shall cease to be a member of the Company and

any and all rights of whatever nature which were held by such Member (including any rights to vote or participate in any distributions of the Company) shall cease and terminate and such Member shall thereafter be entitled only to receive that amount payable upon redemption.

(e) Each Member shall require that the articles of incorporation, charters, partnership agreements or other formative documents of each Person owning a direct interest in such Member or that is Controlled by, Controlling, or under common Control with such Member (other than a Member that has been exempted from a suitability determination by any gaming regulatory agency) shall incorporate the provisions of this Article XIII into its formative documents; provided that no Member whose equity securities are publicly traded pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or NASDAQ shall be required to incorporate the provisions of this Article XIII into its formative documents.
