C. On August 26, 2009, the Debtors and the Agent, as joint plan proponents (the “Plan Proponents”), filed the Second Amended Joint Plans of Reorganization (Docket No. 1443) (the “Plan”) and the Debtors filed their Second Amended Disclosure Statement for Joint Plans of Reorganization (Docket No. 1442) (the “Disclosure Statement”).

	viii.		Whether the Debtors have: (a) violated applicable zoning ordinances because the Casino Complex as constructed (including completion of the Event Center as a “white box” space) does not allegedly comply with the site drawings that were the basis for City Council site plan approval; (b) violated building permit requirements because the building permit issued for the Casino was based on permit drawings showing the Event Center as finished space for a theater-type Event Center; and/or (c) failed to obtain a final certificate of occupancy for the Casino (due to completion of the Event Center as white box space).

	ix.		The items i-viii above, and all other related disputes, differences of opinion or inconsistent positions, whether asserted to date, or not, are hereinafter referred to as the “Disputed Matters.”

	vi.		A letter dated August 10, 2009, from the City to the Debtors alleging certain defaults under the Current Development Agreement (the “Default Letter”);

	vii.		The Disclosure Statement and the Bankruptcy Court’s approval thereof; and
