GLOBAL GAMING TECHNOLOGIES, LLC
THIS ORGANIZATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 28th day of February, 2006 by and among each of the undersigned (sometimes individually referred to as a "Party" or collectively referred to as the "Parties"), whose principal places of business are set forth below their respective names.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, there will be formed a for-profit limited liability company under the name of "GLOBAL GAMING TECHNOLOGIES, LLC" (the "Company") organized under the laws of the State of Colorado for the purpose of operating a business; and
WHEREAS, the Parties have collectively agreed to subscribe for membership interests in the form of the equity shares of the Company as set forth in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that the officers and managers of the Company shall be elected in accordance with, and the capitalization and operation of the Company shall be governed by, the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Shareholders' Agreement referenced herein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Name. The name of the Company will be "Global Gaming Technologies, LLC".
2. Formation - Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement. There will be executed and filed with the Colorado Secretary of State, Articles of Organization in the form annexed to this Agreement as Exhibit "A" ("Articles"), which Articles have been filed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. The Parties shall cause the Operating Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit "B" to be adopted as and for the Operating Agreement of the Company.
3 Purposes. The purpose for which the Company is to be organized shall be to transact any other lawful business for which companies may be organized under the laws of the State of Colorado.
4. Capital Stock. The total number of shares of capital stock which the Company shall have authority to issue shall be one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of membership interest.
5. Initial Stockholders and Capitalization. Xxxxxx Xxx ("Kon") shall be the initial, and only, stockholder of the Company at the time it is formed. Initially, equity shares shall be issued to Kon in such a manner as to qualify for a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Initially, the Company shall issue a total of 300,000 equity shares to Kon, which shares shall represent all the issued outstanding equity shares of the Company. In consideration of the 300,000 equity shares, Kon shall execute and deliver a Technology Transfer Agreement in which he transfers and assigns to the Company all of his right, title and interest in and to two card games developed by Kon: Flash Poker and Russian Roulette (collectively the "Games"). The Technology Transfer Agreement shall include all intellectual property rights of Kon in the Games, including, without limitation, all patent rights, copyright, trademark and all other rights associated with the Games. The transfer of the Games to the Company shall constitute Kon's entire initial capital contribution to the Company.
Global Casinos, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Global") shall make an initial capital contribution to the Company of $100,000. In consideration of its initial capital contribution, Global shall be issued a total of 100,000 equity shares. Global's capital contribution shall be made at such times and in such increments as may be necessary to meet the working capital requirements of the Company. The Parties recognize and agree that Global's initial capital contribution will, in all likelihood, be used to, among other things, meet certain start-up, general administrative, working capital and operating overhead expenses, and to cover the expenses necessary to further develop the Games and determine if patent and other intellectual property rights with respect to the Games can be obtained and perfected. The Parties shall prepare and agree upon a budget for the initial capital contribution; and the Company shall be managed in accordance with the budget unless modified by agreement of the parties.
6. Additional Capitalization. After Global has completed investing its initial capital contribution, Global shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, for a period of 120 days thereafter to make a second capital contribution in the amount of $100,000 (the "Second Contribution"). The decision whether to make the Second Contribution shall be made by Global in its sole judgment; and Global shall have no liability whatsoever should it elect not to make it. In consideration of the Second Contribution, Global shall be issued a total of 200,000 equity shares. Again, Global's Second Contribution shall be made at such times and in such increments as may be necessary to meet the Company's working capital requirements.
Should the Company require additional capital after Global completes its Second Contribution, the parties agree that any additional working capital made available by Global to the Company shall be made in the form of loans upon terms to be agreed upon. The Company shall also have the right, subject to the agreement of the parties, to raise additional working capital through equity or debt offerings.
Should Global elect to not make the Second Contribution, the Company shall be free to raise additional working capital from third parties.
7. Game Development. The parties agree that the Games require further development. The Company will undertake that development through the use of independent consultants as well as through the further efforts of Kon. The officers and managers of the Company shall not be entitled to compensation for their services in those capacities. However, for his services in further developing the Games, Kon shall be entitled to reasonable compensation to be agreed upon by the parties.

The Company shall neither transfer nor reissue any stock interest in the Company in violation of, or without proof of compliance with, this Agreement.
ii. Remedies for Violation of Restrictions on Transfer.
