be fully and timely consummated as provided herein.
6.2
Regulatory
Approvals. As expeditiously as practicable following the
execution of this Agreement, and in any event within 7 days of the date hereof,
Buyer shall, and shall cause its affiliates to, file all necessary gaming
applications with the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the Nevada Gaming
Commission (the “Gaming
Authorities”) to enable Buyer to operate the Business immediately
following the Closing and shall pay all required fees and take all other
necessary actions in connection therewith. Buyer shall, and shall cause its
affiliates to, use its and their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as
expeditiously as practicable, the approval of the Gaming Authorities (the “Gaming Approvals”).
8
6.3
Casino Operating
Losses. Subject to receipt of the Interim Gaming Approval,
Buyer agrees to reimburse the Company for all “net operating losses” from the
period beginning July 1, 2007 until the earlier of: (i) the termination of the
Agreement in accordance with its terms or (ii) the Closing. The Buyer agrees to
advance $225,000 on each of July 1, 2007, August 1, 2007 and September 1, 2007
(each a “Reimbursement Amount”) to fund estimated net operating losses for each
of July, August and September 2007, subject to adjustment as set forth below.
“Net operating losses” shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, provided, however, that in calculating the adjustment to
the Reimbursement Amount described below, (i) any and all amounts due or payable
pursuant to interest expense, depreciation and amortization, whether for that
month or any past or future period, shall be excluded as an expense of or charge
by the Company, (ii) any amounts of expense that were due on or before but not
paid by June 30, 2007 and any amounts of income that were receivable on or
before but not collected by June 30, 2007, shall be treated as if they had been
paid or collected, as applicable, on June 30, 2007, and (iii) amounts of expense
that are accrued during, or expensed for, any month after June 30, 2007 and
amounts of income that are earned during any month after June 30, 2007, but not
paid or collected, as applicable, by the end of such month, shall be included in
the determination of net operating loss only in the month actually paid or
collected. The parties agree that generally accepted accounting principles will
not include any management fee expense to any outside management company, any
CIRI interest expense or Casino rent. In addition, the Company and Seller agree
that, for purposes of calculating the adjustment to the Reimbursement Amount
described below (but not for purposes of the adjustment to be made on the Final
Adjustment Date (defined below)), accrued items or any other non-cash expenses
shall not be included in the generally accepted accounting principle
calculation. Each Reimbursement Amount shall be adjusted, positively or
negatively, for the difference between $225,000 and net operating losses for the
first prior month for which financial statements have been prepared. By way of
example, if prior to the payment of the September 1, 2007 Reimbursement Amount,
financial statements are available for the month of July 2007 reflecting a net
operating loss of $300,000 for the month of July 2007, the Reimbursement Amount
to be paid on September 1, 2007 shall be adjusted upwards to $300,000. On a date
no later than 35 days after September 30, 2007 (the “Final Adjustment Date”), the Company
shall provide a statement of net operating loss calculated on an accrual basis
for the period beginning July 1, 2007 until the earlier of: (i) the termination
of the Agreement in accordance with its terms or (ii) the Closing and an
adjusting payment will be made by the Company to Buyer or by Buyer to the
Company, as appropriate.
6.4
Additional
Funding.
(a)
Buyer
hereby agrees that, following receipt of the Interim Gaming Approval until the
earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms,
or (ii) the Closing, it shall provide the Company with the amount of requested
Required Additional Financing (defined below) within five (5) business days of a
request by the Company, by delivering to the Company by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the following bank account:

(b)
“Required
Additional Financing” shall be, on a daily basis, the difference between (x)
cash necessary to fund the Company’s minimum bankroll as required by Nevada
Gaming Commission Regulation 6.150 as calculated by the Company, plus $225,000
and (y) the Company’s actual cash at the time of the request. All amounts of
Required Additional Financing received shall be credited as a Reimbursement
Amount received pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof for purposes of determining the
adjusting payment payable by the Company to Buyer or by Buyer to the Company on
the Final Adjustment Date as set forth in Section 6.3 hereof.
(c)
Buyer
hereby agrees that all amounts paid (or required to be paid) to the Company
under this Section 6.4 and under Section 6.3 are payments made in consideration
of the Company’s willingness to continue operations pending receipt of Buyer’s
Gaming Approvals and that such payments are the unconditional obligation of
Buyer regardless of whether or not the Closing occurs.
6.5
Sale and
Leaseback. Immediately following the later to occur of: (i)
the effectiveness of the PNICTA Amendment and (ii) receipt of the Interim Gaming
Approval, the Company and PDS shall enter into and consummate the Sale and
Leaseback.

obligation by a third party, against which claim, liability or obligation a
person is, or may be, required under this Article VIII to indemnify Indemnitee
(“Indemnitor”), Indemnitee will,

choosing at its own expense. If Indemnitee shall be required by final judgment
not subject to appeal or by a settlement agreement to pay any amount in respect
of any

obligation
or liability against which Indemnitor has agreed to indemnify Indemnitee under

action or proceeding without the prior written consent of Indemnitor, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Indemnitee shall use reasonable
efforts to mitigate any damage, loss, cost, expense, liability or obligation
with respect to which it shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder. Failure
of Indemnitee to give the Claim Notice to Indemnitor within the ten-day period
required hereunder shall not affect Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification
hereunder, except (i) as provided in Section 8.1 above and (ii) if (and then
only to the extent that) Indemnitor incurs additional expenses or Indemnitor’s
defense of such claim is actually prejudiced by reason of such failure to give
timely notice.
8.5
Direct
Claims. With respect to claims other than third-party claims,
Indemnitee shall use reasonable efforts promptly to notify Indemnitor of such
claims, but failure of Indemnitee so to give notice to Indemnitor shall not
affect the rights of Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder, except (i) as
provided in Section 8.1 above and (ii) if (and then only to the extent that)
Indemnitor incurs additional expenses or Indemnitor is actually prejudiced by
reason of such failure to give timely notice.
8.6
Minimum Amount of
Claim. Other than a claim for indemnification arising from any
untruth, inaccuracy, or breach of (i) Seller’s and the Company’s representations
and warranties in Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, or (ii) Buyer’s representations
and warranties in Section 4.1, no claim shall be made by a party hereunder (or
their affiliated Indemnitees) for breach of any representation or warranty made
by any other party hereunder unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses
suffered or incurred by such Indemnitee (together with all other Buyer
Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees, as applicable) from all breaches of
representations and warranties hereunder exceeds $25,000 and then only to the
extent of the excess over $25,000.

insurance coverage and (ii) any related amounts paid to the Indemnitee(s) under

obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, its obligations
to consummate the Acquisition, its obligations to fund operating losses pursuant

Section 8.3 hereof, shall not be affected in any way by the Sale and Leaseback
including, without limitation, any actual or alleged breach by the Company under
the documents related thereto.
8.9
Other
Matters.
(a)
No
party will be liable (other than in connection with a third party claim against
an Indemnitee) for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive,
exemplary, or similar damages, even if previously advised of the possibility
thereof.
(b)
Following
the Closing, the provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive
basis for the assertion of claims against, and/or the imposition of liability
on, any party hereto in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions
