Compensation Agreement (the “Agreement”) respecting the introduction by Xxxxxx Services, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Xxxxxx Services”), of the reorganization proposal (the “Reorganization”) of Southwest Casino and Hotel Corp., a Minnesota corporation (“Southwest”), to Lone Moose Adventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Lone Moose”) |
Dear Xx. Xxxxxx:
In consideration of the introduction to Lone Moose of the Southwest Reorganization that is outlined in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) between these parties and a to be formed Minnesota wholly-owned subsidiary of Lone Moose that will merge with and into Southwest with Southwest being the Surviving Corporation (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and subject to the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of such Reorganization, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
Introduction. Xxxxxx Services agreed to and has introduced Lone Moose to the Southwest Reorganization, with the understanding that Xxxxxx Services would be compensated for this introduction. Lone Moose acknowledges that all services required to have been provided to Lone Moose by Xxxxxx Services under this Agreement have been provided by Xxxxxx Services, without qualification.
Compensation. Lone Moose agrees, subject to the Closing of the Reorganization only, to pay Xxxxxx Services in full for its introduction services hereunder, and Xxxxxx Services agrees to accept as full consideration of its introduction services hereunder, 96,380 pre-dividend shares of common stock of Lone Moose that are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission or approximately 719,685 post-dividend shares of common stock of Lone Moose that are “restricted securities,” following the planned 7.4672 dividend declared by Lone Moose on July 2, 2004, that is to take effect on July 13, 2004 (the “Compensation Shares”). The only condition to the issuance of these shares to Xxxxxx Services as fully paid shares by Lone Moose shall be the Closing of the Reorganization.
Piggyback Registration Rights. Xxxxxx Services shall have Piggyback Registration Rights (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
A and incorporated herein by reference) with respect to the Compensation Shares, at no cost to it or its successors or assigns.
Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement. The resale of the Compensation Shares shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement that is attached hereto as Exhibit B, and Xxxxxx Services shall execute and deliver the Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement as a condition to receipt of the Compensation Shares.
Covenant as to Transferees. As a condition to any intended sale, transfer or assignment of the Compensation Shares, Xxxxxx Services covenants and agrees to require any and every subsequent intended transferee of the Compensation Shares to execute both a subscription agreement or similar agreement that includes, without limitation, representations as to such intended transferee’s investment intent and that the transferee meets the definition of “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Xxxxxx Services acknowledges and agrees that satisfying such requirements is important to maintain the availability of exemptions from applicable securities laws and as such is a fundamental condition and covenant of Xxxxxx Services.
“Accredited Investor” and Access to Information. Xxxxxx Services represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, that it had access to all reports and/or registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Lone Moose during the past 12 months and earlier.
Further Assurances. In case at any time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as the other party reasonably may request, all the sole cost and expense of the requesting party.
Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered personally against written receipt or by facsimile transmission with answer back confirmation or mailed (postage prepaid by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) or by overnight courier to the parties at the following addresses or facsimile numbers:

Severability.

Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah applicable to contracts executed and performed in such State, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.

Each of the parties irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to lawfully serve process, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action, or proceeding is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts and (d) any right to trial by jury. Upon the Closing of the Reorganization, all references to “Utah” with respect to federal and state courts shall automatically and without further action be changed to “Minnesota.”
