          Section 3.8 Preemptive Rights.

               (a) Prior to the earlier of a Qualified IPO and a Change of Control Transaction, if the Company proposes to issue additional equity securities of the Company (including securities exercisable for or convertible into equity securities), the Company shall deliver to each Major Member a written notice of such proposed issuance at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the proposed issuance (the period from the effectiveness pursuant to Section 11.12 of such notice until the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the “Subscription Period”). Such notice shall include, to the extent applicable, (i) the amount, kind and terms of the equity securities to be included in the issuance, (ii) the price of the equity securities to be included in the issuance, and (iii) the proposed issuance date, if known.

               (b) Each Major Member shall have the option, exercisable at any time during the first twenty (20) days of the Subscription Period by delivering an irrevocable written notice to the Company (except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.8) and on the same terms as those of the proposed issuance of such additional equity securities (including the number or amount, as applicable, of equity securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any security), to irrevocably subscribe for such number or amount, as applicable, of equity securities as is equal to the product of (A) the number or amount of any such additional equity securities (including securities exercisable for or convertible into equity securities) to be offered and (B) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Units (excluding Incentive Units) owned by such Major Member and its Affiliates and the denominator of which is the total number of Units (excluding Incentive Units) owned by all Major Members and their Affiliates (the “Preemptive Percentage”), in each case, on the same terms and conditions as are to be provided to the proposed purchaser in the issuance in question. Each Major Member who does not exercise such option in accordance with the above requirements shall be deemed to have waived all of such Major Member’s rights with respect to such issuance. In the event that any Major Member does not elect to purchase its aggregate Preemptive Percentage of the additional equity securities (including securities exercisable for or convertible into equity securities), the Company shall deliver to each Major Member (other than declining Major Members or Major Members who elect to purchase less than the amount offered to it) a written notice thereof no later than the 25^th day of the Subscription Period, including the number or amount, as applicable, of equity securities which were subject to the purchase right of such declining Major Member(s), and each other Major Member may subscribe for not more than its Preemptive Percentage (calculated using the Percentage Interest of such Major Member relative to all non-declining Major Members) of such declined equity securities before the expiration of the Subscription Period.

               (c) If at the end of the 90^th day after the date of the effectiveness of the notice contemplated by clause (a) above, as such period may be extended to obtain any required regulatory approvals, the Company has not completed the issuance, each Major Member shall be released from such Major Member’s obligations under the written commitment, the notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for a separate notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of this Section 3.8 separately complied with, in order to consummate such issuance.

               (e) Each Major Member shall take or cause to be taken all such reasonable actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order expeditiously to consummate each issuance pursuant to this Section 3.8; provided, however, that, in no event shall any Major Member be required to provided non-public financial or other information regarding such Major Member or any of its Affiliates, other than information solely with respect to the Major Member’s status as a Member and an accredited investor.

               (f) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section 3.8, the Company may proceed with any issuance that would otherwise be subject to this Section 3.8 prior to having complied with the provisions of this Section 3.8; provided, that the Company shall:

     (i) provide to each Major Member in connection with such issuance (A) prompt notice of such issuance and (B) the notice described in clause (a) above in which the actual price of the equity securities shall be set forth;

     (ii) within a reasonable period of time following the issuance, offer to issue (or have Transferred) to each Major Member such number or amount of equity securities of the type issued in the issuance as may be requested by such Major Member (not to exceed the number or amount of such securities which is sufficient to give such Major Member the same fractional interest in the Company, giving effect to such issuance and any further issuances pursuant to this clause (f), as it would have had if the Company had served a notice pursuant to, and such Major Member had exercised its rights in full under, Section 3.8(a) and 3.8(b) prior to the issuance) on the same terms and conditions with respect to such securities as the subscribers in the issuance received; and

     (iii) keep such offer open for a period of thirty (30) Business Days, during which period, each such Major Member may accept such offer by sending an irrevocable written acceptance to the Company committing to purchase in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8(b), an amount of such securities (not to exceed the amount specified in the offer made pursuant to Section 3.8(f)(ii)).

               (g) The provisions of this Section 3.8 shall not apply to issuances by the Company as follows:

     (i) any issuance of securities upon the exercise or conversion of any stock, options, warrants or convertible securities outstanding on the date hereof or issued after the date hereof in a transaction that complied with the provisions of this Section 3.8;

     (iv) any issuance of securities in connection with any stock split, stock dividend paid on a proportionate basis to all holders of the affected class of equity interest or recapitalization approved by the Board of Managers; or

     (v) any issuance of equity securities, options, warrants or convertible securities pursuant to a Public Offering or in connection with an Initial Public Offering.

               (h) If the Company proposes to issue Indebtedness of the Company in a private issuance solely to one or more Major Members, the Company shall deliver to each other Major Member notice of such issuance and an opportunity to participate in such issuance pro rata with the other participating Major Member(s) based on the Percentage Interest of such Major Member relative to all participating Major Members.

               (i) The closing of a purchase of equity securities or Indebtedness of the Company by a Major Member pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall take place at the principal office of the Company on the closing date for the issuance, grant or sale of such equity securities or Indebtedness of the Company (as applicable) as mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Major Members that have elected to purchase such equity securities or Indebtedness of the Company (as applicable). At such closing, such Major Members shall deliver bank checks or wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company in the amount of the purchase prices applicable to the equity securities or Indebtedness of the Company (as applicable) being purchased by such Major Members. The Company shall amend Schedule I to reflect the additional Capital Contribution by such Major Members in connection with the exercise of their preemptive rights with respect to newly issued equity securities of the Company in accordance with this Section 3.8.

          Section 3.9 Capital Structure Adjustments. No Unit splits, Unit combinations, distributions of Units or other similar events involving any class of equity securities of the Company may be effected unless such splits, combinations, distributions or similar events are effected simultaneously and proportionately with respect to all other classes of equity securities of the Company.

          Section 5.7 Performance of Duties; Liability of Managers.

               (a) The Managers shall perform their duties in good faith, in a manner they reasonably believe to be in the best interest of the Company and its Members, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

                    (iii) A committee of the Board of Managers upon which such Manager does not serve, duly designated in accordance with a provision of this Agreement, as to matters within its designated authority, which committee such Manager reasonably believes to merit competence.

          Section 5.8 Devotion of Time. No Manager (other than a Manager who is also an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in which case, such Manager’s employment agreement shall prevail) is obligated to devote all or substantially all of his or her time or business efforts to the affairs of the Company; provided, however, that such Manager shall devote such time and effort as appropriate for the discharge of such Manager’s duties and responsibilities to the Company and the Members pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and as required by the Act.

          Section 5.9 Reimbursement of Expenses to Managers.

          Section 5.10 Officers.

               (a) Appointment of Officers. The Board of Managers may appoint officers at any time. The officers of the Company may include a Chairperson, a Secretary, or other positions as the Board of Managers deems necessary. The officers shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Managers, subject to all rights, if any, of an officer under any contract of employment. Any individual may hold any number of offices or titles.

               (b) Removal, Resignation and Filling of Vacancy of Officers.

Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board of Managers. Any resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of that notice or at any later time specified in that notice; and, unless otherwise specified in that notice, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any resignation is without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the Company under any contract to which the officer is a party. A vacancy in any office because of death, resignation, removal, disqualification or any other cause shall be filled in the manner prescribed in this Agreement for regular appointments to that office. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all appointments of officers of the Company shall be subject to applicable Gaming Laws and Section 11.19(b).

               (e) Duties and Powers of Secretary. The Secretary shall attend all meetings of the Board of Managers and all meetings of the Members, and shall record all the proceedings of the meetings in a book to be kept for that purpose, and shall perform like duties

The Secretary shall have custody of the seal, if any, and the Secretary shall have authority to affix the same to any instrument requiring it, and when so affixed, it may be attested by his or her signature. The Board of Managers may, in lieu of a Secretary, convey general authority to any other officer or agent to affix the seal of the Company, if any, and to attest the affixing by his or her signature. The Secretary shall keep, or cause to be kept, at the principal executive office or at the office of the Company, a register, or a duplicate register, showing the names of all Members and their addresses, the number and class of their Units, their Percentage Interests and their Capital Account balance. The Secretary shall also keep all documents described in Section 8.1 and such other documents as may be required under the Act.

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS;
ALLOCATIONS OF NET INCOME AND NET LOSS

          Section 6.1 Distributions. The Company may, in the discretion of the Board of Managers, distribute Distributable Cash (a “Distribution”) at such time or times and in such amounts, as the Board of Managers may determine, among the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.1 shall impair the right of the Board of Managers to establish reasonable cash reserves or not to distribute cash for any legitimate business reason.

               (a) Distributions of Available Cash Flow. At such times and in such amounts as the Board of Managers, in its sole discretion, shall determine, distributions of Available Cash Flow shall be made to the holders of Units (other than Incentive Units) pro rata in accordance with the Units (other than Incentive Units) held by each such Member.

               (b) Distributions of Capital Proceeds. Upon the occurrence of a Capital Transaction, distributions of proceeds received by the Company in a Capital Transaction shall be allocated and distributed in the following order of priority promptly following the consummation of such Capital Transaction:

                    (i) First, to the holders of Units (other than Incentive Units) pro rata in accordance with the Units (other than Incentive Units) held by each such Member until the Incentive Unit Distribution Threshold is reduced to zero.

                    (ii) Second, to the Units (including, subject to the second proviso of this Section 6.1(b)(ii) with respect to any Incentive Units), pro rata in accordance with each Member’s then-current Percentage Interest; provided, however that any Subsequent Incentive Unit shall only be entitled to participate in Distributions pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(ii) pari passu pro rata in proportion to the Units after each Initial Incentive Unit has received (or, if there are no Initial Incentive Units then outstanding, would have received had at least one Initial Incentive Unit remained outstanding) pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(ii) (and after the issuance of such Subsequent Incentive Unit) an amount equal to such Incremental Distribution Threshold; provided, further, that distributions pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(ii) to any member in respect of unvested Incentive Units issued pursuant to any profits interest award agreements shall be retained by the Company and distributed in accordance with the terms of the applicable profits interest award agreement. Solely for the purposes of this Section 6.1(b)(ii) and Section 9.3(c) each such Subsequent Incentive Unit shall not be counted for the purposes of calculating the Percentage Interest, until the applicable Incremental Distribution Threshold attributable to such Subsequent Incentive Unit is met.

               (c) For the avoidance of doubt, none of the following shall be a Distribution: (i) any redemption or repurchase by the Company or any Member of any Units; (ii) any recapitalization or exchange of securities of the Company; (iii) any Unit splits, Unit combinations, distributions of Units or other similar events; or (iv) any fees or remuneration paid to any Member in such Member’s capacity as a consultant or other provider of services to the Company.

               (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to receive any distributions in respect of any income or gain arising: (i) in the case of a new Member, prior to such Member’s admission as a Member; and (ii) in the case of a Member that receives a new or increased Membership Interest, prior to such issuance or increase to the extent attributable to such issuance or increase (in each case, as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers). Distributions in respect of any income or gain arising prior to such admission, issuance or increase shall be made based upon the Membership Interests of the Members at the time such income or gain arises, net of any deductions or losses, as reasonably determined by the Board of Managers. This Section 6.1(d) shall be interpreted and implemented consistently with the principles set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

          Section 6.2 Tax Distributions.

               (a) To the extent it has legally sufficient funds to do so and the Board of Managers determines appropriate, the Company may distribute to each Member with respect to each Fiscal Year of the Company (excluding the Fiscal Year in which the Company is being liquidated) an amount of cash equal to such Member’s Tax Liability Amount (a “Tax Distribution”). For this purpose, “Tax Liability Amount” for any given Fiscal Year of the Company means an amount equal to (x) the Assumed Tax Rate multiplied by (y) the difference between (1) the taxable income (including separately stated items) and gain allocated to such Member for such Fiscal Year of the Company (as shown on the applicable Internal Revenue Service Form 1065—Schedule K-1 filed by the Company), excluding partner-level taxable income adjustments made under Section 743(b) of the Code, and (2) the cumulative losses that

have been allocated to such Member to the extent such losses have not previously reduced taxable income and gain pursuant to this provision, minus (z) such Member’s pro rata share of any taxes imposed on and paid by the Company to a non-U.S. governmental authority to the extent the Board of Managers determines appropriate. To the extent deemed feasible and appropriate by the Board of Managers, Tax Distributions may be made on each Tax Distribution Date based on estimates of the Company’s income to facilitate the Members’ ability to make quarterly estimated tax payments with respect to their income from the Company. The computation of the amounts to be distributed pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) for any year shall be adjusted (i) prior to each distribution for such year, (ii) upon the filing of the Company’s federal income tax return for such year, (iii) upon any final determination of the Company’s taxable income for such year and (iv) at any other time when in the good faith determination of the Board of Managers that it appears that a prior estimate has been incorrect, in each case so as to take into account actual determinations and/or revised estimates of the Members’ shares of taxable income for such year for United States federal income tax purposes. Following any such adjustment, the amounts to be distributed pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) shall be adjusted appropriately, or additional distributions shall be made, so as to give effect to such actual determinations and/or revised estimates. If the aggregate of the installment distributions of such amount to any Member with respect to a Fiscal Year exceeds the amount finally so determined by the Company for the Fiscal Year (such excess amount being such Member’s “Excess Tax Distribution”), such Member shall return to the Company an amount equal to such Excess Tax Distribution upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice from the Board of Managers.

               (b) If the Board of Managers determines to make Tax Distributions and there is insufficient cash to distribute to each Member an amount equal to each Member’s Tax Liability Amount, the Company will make Tax Distributions pursuant to this Section 6.2 to the Members with Tax Liability Amounts pro rata in accordance with such Members’ Tax Liability Amounts.

               (c) Tax Distributions are advances that shall reduce the amount of the contemporaneous or next succeeding Distribution or Distributions which would have otherwise been made to such Member, or if such Distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member. In the event that the Company is liquidated and a liability is asserted against the Board of Managers or any Member for Tax Distributions or any taxes, the Board of Managers or such Member, as applicable, will have the right to be reimbursed from any Member on whose behalf Tax Distributions were made to the extent such Member has received cumulative Distributions in excess of what it would have received as if this Section 6.2 were not in effect.

          Section 6.3 Tax Withholding; Withholding Advances.

               (a) Tax Withholding. The Company shall comply with withholding requirements under applicable Law and shall remit amounts withheld to and file required forms with the applicable jurisdictions. If requested by the Board of Managers, each Member shall, if able to do so, deliver to the Board of Managers at such times as reasonably requested by the Board of Managers: (A) an affidavit in form reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Managers that the applicable Member (or its members, as the case may be) is not subject to withholding under the provisions of any federal, state, local, foreign or other Law; (B) any certificate that the

Board of Managers may reasonably request with respect to any such Laws; and/or (C) any other form or instrument reasonably requested by the Board of Managers relating to any Member’s status under such Law. If a Member fails or is unable to deliver to the Board of Managers an affidavit described in subclause (A) of this Section 6.3(a), the Board of Managers may withhold amounts from such Member in accordance with Section 6.3(b).

               (b) Withholding Advances. To the extent the Company is required by Law to withhold or to make tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member (e.g., backup withholding) (“Withholding Advances”), the Board of Managers may withhold such amounts and make such tax payments as so required.

               (c) Repayment of Withholding Advances. All Withholding Advances made on behalf of a Member, plus interest thereon from the date of the demand for repayment at a rate equal to the Prime Rate as of the date of such Withholding Advances plus 2% per annum, shall (i) be repaid on demand by the Member on whose behalf such Withholding Advances were made, or (ii) with the consent of the Board of Managers, in its sole discretion, be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding Distribution or Distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such Distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member. If repayment of a Withholding Advance is made by a Member pursuant to clause (ii), such Member shall not be required to pay any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever repayment of a Withholding Advance by a Member is made as described in clause (ii), for all other purposes of this Agreement such Member shall be treated as having received all Distributions (whether before or upon Dissolution) unreduced by the amount of such Withholding Advance.

          Section 6.4 Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss; Tax Allocations; Special Allocations.

               (a) Prior to the consummation of an IPO Restructuring or a determination by the Board of Managers to elect to be other than a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, the Members agree to treat the Company as a partnership and the Members as partners for United States federal income tax purposes and shall file all tax returns accordingly.

               (b) For each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit) of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.4(d), the Capital Account balance of each Member, immediately after making such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal to (i) the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 9.3(c) if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were distributed, in accordance with Section 9.3(c), to the Members immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed

immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. The Board of Managers shall be entitled to adjust the allocations of Net Income and Net Loss (and items thereof) to take into account any of the economic provisions of this Agreement, including the time and amount of actual Distributions to the Members; provided, that, any such adjustment shall not affect the amount distributable to a Member pursuant to this Agreement.

               (c) For United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the allocations of the corresponding items for Capital Account purposes under Section 6.4(b), except that items with respect to which there is a difference between tax and book basis will be allocated in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).

               (d) The provisions of Section 6.4(b) and the other provisions of this Section 6.4(d) relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(iv) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such intent. Accordingly, Section 704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, including, but not limited to, the provisions of such Treasury Regulations addressing qualified income offset provisions, minimum gain chargeback requirements and allocations of deductions attributable to nonrecourse debt and partner nonrecourse debt, are hereby incorporated by reference. The Board of Managers shall be authorized to make appropriate amendments to the allocations of items pursuant to Section 6.4(b), Section 6.4(d), and Section 3.6 if necessary in order to comply with Section 704 of the Code or applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder; provided, that no such change shall have an adverse effect upon the amount distributable to any Member pursuant to this Agreement.

          (i) If any Members are treated for United States federal income tax purposes as realizing ordinary income because of receiving Units (whether under Section 83 of the Code or under any similar provision of any law, rule or regulation) and the Company is entitled to any offsetting deduction (net of any income realized by the Company as a result of the issuance of such interests), the Company’s net deduction shall be allocated to and among the Capital Accounts of such Members in such a manner as to offset, as nearly as possible, the ordinary income realized by such Members as a result of such treatment.

          (ii) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or Section 743(b) of the Code is required pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution other than in liquidation of a Member’s interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of such asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of such asset) from the disposition of the asset and shall be taken into account for purposes of computing Net Income and Net Loss. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or (4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution in complete

liquidation of a Member’s Units, the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of such asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of such asset), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the event that Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies or to the Member to whom such distribution is made in the event that Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

          Section 6.5 Restriction on Distributions.

               (a) No Distribution shall be made if, after giving effect to the Distribution, (i) the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (ii) the Company’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the Company were to be dissolved at the time of such Distribution, to satisfy any preferential rights of other Members, if any, upon dissolution that are superior to the rights of the Member receiving such Distribution; or (iii) such Distribution would result in non-compliance with, or a violation of, the Act, applicable Gaming Laws or any order of any Gaming Authority binding upon or to which the Company or its Subsidiaries are subject.

               (b) The Board of Managers may base a determination that a Distribution is not prohibited on any of the following:

                    (i) Financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices and principles that are reasonable in the circumstances;

                    (ii) A fair market valuation of the Company or its assets; or

                    (iii) Any other method that is reasonable in the circumstances.

               (c) Without the approval of the Board of Managers, no distribution shall be made in any form other than cash prior to a Dissolution Event.

          Section 6.6 Obligations of Members to Report Allocations. The Members are aware of the United States federal income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article VI and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article VI in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for United States federal income tax purposes.

          Section 6.7 Limitation on Allocations and Distributions to Incentive Units.

               (a) It is the intention of the Parties that distributions in respect of Incentive Units be limited to the extent necessary so that the related Incentive Unit constitutes a Profits Interest. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board of Managers shall, if necessary, further limit distributions to any Member holding Incentive Units so that such distributions do not exceed the available profits in respect of such Member’s related Profits Interest. If a Member’s distributions are reduced pursuant to this Section 6.7, an amount equal to such reduction shall be distributed to the remaining Members pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests for the related Fiscal Year.

               (b) If distributions to Members holding Incentive Units in respect of their Incentive Units are reduced pursuant to Section 6.7(a), other than by reason of the Incentive Unit Distribution Threshold or the Incremental Distribution Threshold, then the Board of Managers shall make adjustments to future distributions to the Members as promptly as practicable so that the Members are distributed, on a cumulative basis, the amount to which they would have been entitled had such adjustment not been made; provided, that any distributions pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) shall be further subject to the other provisions of Section 6.7.

ARTICLE VII

TRANSFERS OF UNITS

          Section 7.1 Transfers.

               (a) Permitted Transfers.

                    (i) Prior to a Qualified IPO, no Member may sell, encumber, mortgage, hypothecate, assign, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, all or any portion of its Units (each, a “Transfer”), except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VII. No Transfer of Units shall be effective until such time as all requirements of this Article VII in respect thereof have been satisfied and, if consents, approvals or waivers are required by the Board of managers, all of the same shall have been confirmed in writing by the Board of Managers.

                    (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.1(a)(i), no limitation or restriction on Transfers shall apply to any Transfer by a Member (A) to one or more Permitted Transferees of such Member, (B) to the Company pursuant to the terms of any profits interest plan or award agreement pursuant to which Incentive Units are issued, or (C) pursuant to a Public Offering in accordance with such Member’s registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, including in connection with an Initial Public Offering if the underwriter(s) managing such Initial Public Offering do not believe such Transfer would adversely affect such Initial Public Offering (each such Transfer described in this Section 7.1(a)(ii), a “Permitted Transfer”). The restrictions contained in this Section 7.1(a) will continue to be applicable to the Units after any Transfer pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) of this Section 7.1(a)(ii).

                    (iii) No Transfer of Units shall be effective without compliance by the parties to such Transfer with all applicable Gaming Laws and all requirements imposed by any order, ruling or other determination of any Gaming Authority, including, if applicable, receipt of all Gaming Licenses required under applicable Gaming Laws.

                    (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Transfers of Incentive Units shall not be permitted except as set forth in the profits interest plan or award agreement pursuant to which such Incentive Units are issued.

               (b) Certain Restrictions.

                    (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (subject only to Section 7.1(b)(ii)) and in addition to any other restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Article VII, no Member may Transfer any Units prior to a Qualified IPO if:

          (A) the Company is a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes and such proposed Transfer (alone or taken together with all other Transfers) would result in the Company being treated as anything other than a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes;

          (B) the Company is a partnership for United States federal income tax purpose and such proposed Transfer (alone or taken together with all other Transfers) would cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder;

          (C) the Company is a partnership for United States federal income tax purpose and such proposed Transfer (alone or taken together with all other Transfers) would result in a termination of the Company within the meaning of Section 708(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the Board of Managers determines that such termination is immaterial; or

          (D) such proposed Transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or any other foreign, federal, provincial or state securities Laws by the Company.

                    (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including Section 7.1(b)(i)) and in addition to any other restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Article VII, no Member may Transfer any Units at any time if:

          (A) such proposed Transfer would result in the Company being regulated under the Investment Company Act;

          (B) such proposed Transfer would result in a violation of any applicable Law, including Gaming Laws or applicable securities Laws;

          (C) all necessary Gaming Licenses have not been obtained immediately prior to the date that the proposed Transfer is to be made; or

          (D) such proposed Transfer is to be made to any Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own such interest.

               (c) Transfers Requiring the Approval of the Board of Managers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and in addition to any

other restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Article VII, prior to the occurrence of a Qualified IPO, each Transfer of Units by one or more Members in a single Transfer or series of related Transfers shall require the approval of a majority of the Managers then in office (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), if (i) such Transfer or series of related Transfers would result in the transferee(s) holding ten percent (10%) or more of the then outstanding Units (excluding any Incentive Units) held by all Members (other than a Transfer or series of related Transfers of Units to a Person that is a Principal Member on the date hereof or a group of Persons that are Principal Members on the date hereof), or (ii) the transferee(s) is not an institutional investor (including, an investment bank, a hedge fund, private equity fund or other investment fund or other entity whose primary purpose is to provide investment management or advisory services on behalf of its clients) or is a Person that operates in the gaming industry or holds a controlling stake in another Person that operates in the gaming industry.

          Section 7.2 Notice of Intent to Transfer Units. Prior to the earlier of a Qualified IPO and a Change of Control Transaction, if any Member (the “Transferring Member”) desires to Transfer all or any portion of its Units (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) to any Person (other than a Permitted Transferee) (such Units, the “Offered Units”), the Transferring Member shall deliver a written notice to the Secretary of the Company with a copy to the Company’s legal counsel in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.12 (the “Transfer Notice”) no less than three (3) Business Days and no more than ten (10) Business Days prior to entering into a trade to Transfer the Offered Units to such Person. The Transferring Member shall not Transfer, or enter into a trade to Transfer, the Offered Units for a period of three (3) Business Days immediately following the receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company (the “Notice Period”). From and after the Notice Period, the Transferring Member may enter into a trade to Transfer the Offered units; provided, that if no trade is entered into with respect to such Transfer within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the Notice Period, then the Transferring Member shall be required to deliver a new Transfer Notice to the Company within the time period specified in this Section 7.2 and in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 7.2 in order to enter into such trade to Transfer the Offered Units and the Notice Period shall restart.

          Section 7.3 Rights of Assignees. Until such time, if any, as a transferee of Units pursuant to any Transfer permitted by this Article VII is admitted to the Company as a substitute Member pursuant to Section 7.4, such transferee will be deemed to be an Assignee only.

          Section 7.4 Substitution of Members. An Assignee shall have the right to become a substitute Member only if (i) the requirements of Section 7.1 and, if applicable, Section 7.2 have been met, (ii) such Assignee executes an Addendum Agreement and a Registration Rights Addendum Agreement, (iii) such Assignee pays any reasonable expenses as determined by the Board of Managers in connection with its admission as a new Member, and (iv) such Assignee has been found suitable to hold Units of the Company by all applicable Gaming Authorities in circumstances where such approval is required and has obtained all necessary Gaming Licenses.

          Section 7.5 Effective Date of Permitted Transfers. Any Transfers permitted by this Article VII shall be effective upon the consummation of a transaction in compliance with

          Section 7.6 Rights of Legal Representatives. If a Member who is an individual dies or is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be incompetent to manage the Member’s person or property, the Member’s executor, administrator, guardian, conservator, or other legal representative may exercise all of the Member’s rights for the purpose of settling the Member’s estate or administering the Member’s property, including any power the Member has under this Agreement to give an assignee the right to become a Member. If a Member is a corporation, trust, or other entity and is dissolved or terminated, the powers of that Member may be exercised by its legal representative or successor.

          Section 7.7 No Effect of Transfers in Violation of Agreement. No Transfer of any Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement will be effective to pass any title to, or create any interest in favor of, any Person, but the Member which attempted to so effect such Transfer will be deemed to have committed a material breach of its obligations to the other Members and to the Company hereunder, and the Membership Interest held by such Member shall be treated in accordance with Section 4.3. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Transfer of Units shall be effective unless the transferee has been found suitable to hold Units of the Company by all applicable Gaming Authorities in circumstances where such approval is required and has obtained all necessary Gaming Licenses.

          Section 7.8 Amendment to Schedule I. The Company shall amend Schedule I, as appropriate, to reflect a Transfer of any Units pursuant to this Article VII.

               (b) In connection with any proposed Initial Public Offering approved by the Board of Managers or a Qualified IPO commenced by the Principal Members pursuant to Section 7.9(a), the Board of Managers, at its election, may without the consent of any Member: (i) amend this Agreement to provide for a conversion or a restructuring of the Company in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware to a corporation or such other capital structure as the Board of Managers may determine; (ii) distribute shares of common stock or other equivalent equity securities of the resulting entity to the Members (provided, however, that Incentive Units may be converted into common stock or similar securities representing an interest in the IPO Corporation that provides the Members holding Incentive Units with an equity interest in the IPO Corporation that is economically equivalent to the interests the Members holding Incentive Units would have received with respect to those Incentive Units if the

Company was dissolved, its affairs wound up and distributions were made to Members in accordance with Section 9.3 (valuing such stock at Fair Market Value) after all Company liabilities were satisfied); (iii) form a Subsidiary holding company and distribute its shares of common stock or other equivalent equity securities of such entity to the Members (including Members holding Incentive Units); (iv) move the Company or any successor to another jurisdiction to facilitate any of the foregoing; (v) wind up, dissolve or liquidate the Company pursuant to this Agreement, (vi) cause the resulting entity to enter into a stockholders, operating or similar agreement with the Members containing such rights and obligations as are provided in this Agreement with respect to the Units, including with respect to the board of directors or other similar governing body of such entity or (vii) take such other steps as it deems necessary or appropriate to create a suitable vehicle for an offering or sale, in each such case in accordance with the Act and applicable Law (the Company, in its capacity as the entity which undertakes the Initial Public Offering or such other resulting entity, as determined by the Board of Managers, the “IPO Corporation”), and in each case for the express purpose of consummating an Initial Public Offering (an “IPO Restructuring”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Managers shall not approve the IPO Restructuring unless it shall have determined in good faith that a Public Offering can reasonably be expected to be consummated within sixty (60) days of the IPO Restructuring and the IPO Restructuring shall only occur on the day prior to the closing of the Public Offering.

               (c) If the Board of Managers elects to exercise its rights under Section 7.9(b), the Members shall take such actions as may be reasonably required and otherwise cooperate in good faith with the Board of Managers, including taking all actions required by the Board of Managers in connection with consummating the IPO Restructuring (including the voting of any Units (including any voting as Members as may be necessary to effect a Transfer by continuation or to authorize a share capital, whether by liquidation of the Company and creation of a new entity, amendment to this Agreement or otherwise) to approve such IPO Restructuring, entering into a stockholders, operating or similar agreement with the IPO Corporation containing such rights and obligations as are provided in this Agreement with respect to the Units, including with respect to the board of directors or other similar governing body of the IPO Corporation and to take any other actions required in order to effectuate an IPO Conversion). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board of Managers and the Members shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate to ensure that any IPO Restructuring is undertaken in a tax efficient manner for all Members and their respective direct or indirect members, partners, shareholders, or other equity holders.

               (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the shares, membership interests or other ownership interests of the IPO Corporation shall be divided into classes and series and shall be allocated to and among the Members (including Members holding Incentive Units in respect of their Incentive Units) in such manner as shall result in each Member having substantially the same relative economic, governance and other rights, privileges, preferences, priorities and obligations in respect of the IPO Corporation as such Member had in respect of the Company immediately prior to the IPO Restructuring (including the right to sell securities of the IPO Corporation held by such Member upon the expiration of the applicable lock-up period (which in any case shall be applicable to all Members equally and subject to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement)), (ii) the Board of Managers shall establish the terms of the organizational documents of any IPO

Corporation and any stockholders, operating or similar agreement by and among the IPO Corporation and the Members in a manner consistent with the terms of this Section 7.9, and (iii) the Members shall bear the costs and expenses associated with an IPO Conversion in the same relative proportions that they bear the costs and expenses of the Company under this Agreement as in effect prior to any action taken by the Board of Managers under this Section 7.9.

case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and unless such disclosure is pursuant to a Governmental Authority request, use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, including consulting with the Board of Managers and assisting the Company, at the Company’s expense, in seeking a protective order to prevent the requested disclosure; provided, however, that in no event shall a Member or its Representatives be required to directly initiate or participate in any legal proceedings in connection with such efforts; provided, further, that such Member of Representative, as the case may be, discloses only that portion of the Confidential Information as is, based on the advice of its counsel, legally required.

               (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the confidentiality obligations of the Members under this Section 8.8 shall not apply to the disclosure of the fact that the disclosing Member has an indirect investment in Aliante Gaming or the Hotel (or their respective successors) in name only (it being understood that this disclosure shall not include the investment amount, valuation information or any other information related thereto); provided, that and for the avoidance of doubt, such information may otherwise be disclosed by the Members to their respective Representatives in accordance with clause (i) of Section 8.8(a).

the like of one or more of the Owner Persons (an “Owner License”), whether such Owner License is, or may be, issued by the State of Nevada or any other Governmental Authority.

ARTICLE IX

DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP

          Section 9.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved, its assets shall be disposed of, and its affairs wound up on the first to occur of the following (each, a “Dissolution Event”):

               (a) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act;

               (b) A determination by the Board of Managers to dissolve the Company; or

               (c) The sale, transfer or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with this Agreement.

Each Member hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to obtain a dissolution of the Company in any way other than as specified above. The Board of Managers shall, within thirty (30) days, notify the other Members of the occurrence of a Dissolution Event.

          Section 9.2 Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 9.1, the Company shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors. The Board of Managers shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and liquidation of the Company, shall take full account of the assets and liabilities of Company, shall either cause its assets to be sold or distributed, and if sold as promptly as is consistent with avoiding a loss and obtaining the fair market value thereof, shall cause the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed as provided in Section 9.3. The Persons winding up the affairs of the Company shall give written notice of the commencement of winding up by mail to all known creditors and claimants whose addresses appear on the records of the Company to the extent such Persons are required to do so.

          Section 9.3 Order of Payment Upon Dissolution. Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Board of Managers shall designate one or more Persons to act as a liquidating agent (the “Liquidator”). The Liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until the final winding up of the Company, the Liquidator shall continue to operate the Company’s properties with all of the power and authority of the Board of Managers, subject to the power of the Board of Managers to remove and replace such Liquidator. The steps to be accomplished by the Liquidator are as follows:

               (a) As promptly as possible after a Dissolution Event and again after final winding up of the Company, the Liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made, and where practicable by a recognized firm of certified public accountants, of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the Dissolution Event occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable.

               (b) The Liquidator shall cause the Company’s property to be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with avoiding a loss and obtaining the fair market value thereof.

               (c) The Liquidator shall distribute the proceeds of such liquidation and any other assets of the Company (subject to any requirement under the Act) in the following order of priority:

                    (i) first, to payment of all of the Indebtedness and other liabilities and obligations of the Company (including all expenses incurred in liquidation);

                    (ii) second, to the establishment of adequate reserves for the payment and discharge of all Indebtedness and other liabilities and obligations of the Company to the extent not then due, including contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities, in such amount and for such term as the Liquidator may reasonably determine;

                    (iii) third, any remaining proceeds of liquidation, and any assets that are to be distributed in kind, shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 6.1, subject to the limitations of Article VI, as promptly as practicable.

               (d) The Liquidator shall use all reasonable efforts to reduce the assets of the Company to cash and to distribute cash upon liquidation to the Members. Subject to the foregoing, if any assets of the Company are not reduced to cash, then the Members (i) shall value the non-cash assets of the Company at Fair Market Value, (ii) shall allocate any unrealized gain or loss to the Members’ Capital Accounts as though the non-cash assets had been sold on the date of distribution and (iii) shall, after giving effect to any such adjustment, treat the distribution of such non-cash assets as equivalent to a distribution of cash in the amount of the Fair Market Value of such assets (net of any liabilities secured by such assets that any Member assumes or takes subject to). No Member shall have any right to any specific assets of the Company except as otherwise herein specifically provided. In making distributions of non-cash assets under this Section 9.3(d), such assets may be distributed unequally among the Members only to the extent necessary to avoid any Member receiving an asset that it is prohibited from holding or that could result in adverse tax consequences to such Member; provided, that such unequal distribution shall not affect the aggregate amount of distributions to any Member.

               (e) Each of the Members shall be furnished with a statement prepared by, or under the supervision of, the Liquidator, which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of complete liquidation and each Member’s portion of distributions pursuant to this Section 9.3.

          Section 9.4 Limitations on Payments Made in Dissolution. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Member shall only be entitled to look solely to the assets of the Company for the payment of his, her or its Unrecovered Capital and shall have no recourse for any such or other amounts against any Manager or any other Member.

          Section 9.5 Termination. The Company shall cause to be filed in the office of, and on a form prescribed by, the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a Certificate of Cancellation of the Certificate of Formation, upon the completion of the winding up of the affairs of the Company. The Company shall terminate when all property owned by the Company shall have been disposed of and the assets shall have been distributed as provided in Section 9.3 and a Certificate of Cancellation of the Certificate of Formation have been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

          Section 9.6 No Action for Dissolution. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, no Member shall take any voluntary action that directly causes a Dissolution Event. The Members acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Company if any Member should bring an action in court to dissolve the Company under circumstances where dissolution is not required by Section 9.1.

ARTICLE X

          Section 11.19 Gaming Suitability.

               (a) Mandatory Termination of Investment.

                    (i) As the investment of each Member is subject to regulation by the Gaming Authorities, Members are subject to ongoing oversight in connection with their ownership of Units. The Company shall submit to the Gaming Authorities from time to time certain information regarding the Members to permit the Gaming Authorities to determine or confirm the Members’ suitability to own Units. Such information may include the full name and other names used (oral or written), social security number, tax payer identification number, birth date, place of birth, jurisdiction of formation, citizenship and gender of each Member. Each Member hereby authorizes the Company to submit such information to, as well as other information requested by, the Gaming Authorities.

                    (ii) If (A) any Member is required by any Gaming Authority to be found suitable and such Member does not apply for a finding of suitability within thirty (30) days after the request if such Gaming Authority (an “Unsuitable Member”); or (B) any Gaming Authority determines that any Member is not suitable to continue to own Units (whether due to such Member’s failure to respond to a background investigation request or for any other reason) (also, an “Unsuitable Member”) and notifies the Company that such Unsuitable Member must be removed from its investment in Company (each of (A) and (B), a “Gaming Event”), then (x) such Unsuitable Member, at the request of the Company, shall dispose of such Unsuitable Member’s interest within thirty (30) days or such other period of time as is prescribed by the Gaming Authorities; or (B) at the election of the Company, such Unsuitable Member’s Membership Interest shall be terminated and redeemed.

                    (iii) Following the occurrence of a Gaming Event, the Company may deliver to such Unsuitable Member a written notification of such Gaming Event stating (A) the election of the Company to terminate the Unsuitable Member’s Membership Interest and to exercise its removal rights pursuant to this Section 11.19(a), and (B) the effective date of the termination of the Unsuitable Member’s Membership Interest and removal from the Company.

Upon the receipt of any notification from a Gaming Authority that it is reviewing the suitability of a Member or considering requiring the removal of a Member, the Company shall promptly notify such Member and keep such Member apprised of such matter such that the Member can address such matter directly with such Gaming Authority.

                    (iv) Beginning on the date on which a Gaming Authority serves a notice to the Company that any Member is not suitable to continue to own Units (whether due to such Unsuitable Member’s failure to respond to a background investigation request or for any other reason), the Company may and, to the extent required by the applicable Gaming Authority, shall, prohibit the Unsuitable Member from: (A) receiving any share of the distribution of profits or cash or any other property of, or payments upon dissolution of, the Company, other than the payments described in this Section 11.19(a)(iv); (B) exercising directly or through a trustee or nominee, any voting right conferred by such Unsuitable Member’s Membership Interest; (C) participating in the management of the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries; or (D) receiving remuneration in any form from the Company for services rendered or otherwise. Following the termination of such Unsuitable Member’s Interest and removal from the membership of the Company, such Unsuitable Member shall be entitled to receive in consideration for its Membership Interest an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of its Membership Interest as determined by the Board of Managers or such other amount as shall be prescribed by the applicable Gaming Authority, such amount being payable, in the sole discretion of the Board of Managers and to the extent permitted by the applicable Gaming Authority, either (x) in cash on the date that is no later than thirty (30) days after the determination of such fair value; or (y) in the form of a promissory note containing the terms set forth in Section 11.19(a)(v) (the “Promissory Note”). In connection therewith, the Company shall be permitted to make such adjustments to the Unsuitable Member’s Capital Account as it deems equitable under the circumstances.

                    (v) The principal amount owing under the Promissory Note shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (A) the lesser of (x) the highest rate permitted by Law; and (y) the greater of (1) the highest rate that the Company can reasonably obtain from a money market fund; and (2) that rate necessary to avoid imputation of interest under any applicable provision of the Code; or (B) such other rate as shall be prescribed by the applicable Gaming Authority. The Promissory Note shall mature and become due and payable in full on (x) the earlier to occur of (1) the dissolution and winding up of the Company; and (2) ten (10) years from the date of issuance; or (y) such other date as shall be prescribed by the applicable Gaming Authority. The Company may, upon the direction of the Board of Managers, prepay in whole or in part, the principal amount and/or any interest outstanding under Promissory Note at any time without penalty.

                    (vi) Any removal of an Unsuitable Member from the membership of the Company and the termination of the Unsuitable Member’s Membership Interest as provided in this Section 11.19(a) shall occur promptly after the occurrence of a Gaming Event, subject to applicable Gaming Laws.

               (b) Qualification of Managers and Officers under Gaming Laws. The election of an individual to serve as a Manager or officer of the Company is subject to any qualifications or approvals required under any Gaming Laws. For purposes of this Agreement, an individual shall be qualified to serve as a Manager or officer for so long as that individual is determined to be, and continues to be, licensed, qualified and found suitable by all Gaming Authorities having jurisdiction over the Company, or any manager or officer and under all applicable Gaming Laws.

EXHIBIT A

ADDENDUM AGREEMENT

     This Addendum Agreement (this “Addendum Agreement”) is made this [___] day of [_____________], 20[__], by and between [_____________________] (the “Transferee”)[, [_____________________] (the “Transferor”)]¹ and ALST Casino Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of the Company dated as of [_____], 2011, including all exhibits and schedules thereto (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Members entered into the Agreement to impose certain restrictions and obligations upon themselves, and to provide certain rights, with respect to the Company, the Members and the Units;

     WHEREAS, the Transferee is acquiring Units issued by the Company or pursuant to a Transfer, in either case in accordance with the Agreement and in such amount as set forth in Section 4 below (the “Acquired Units”); and

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Members have required in the Agreement that any Person to whom Units are transferred and any other Person acquiring Units must enter into an Addendum Agreement binding the Transferee to the Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto and imposing the same restrictions and obligations on the Transferee and the Acquired Units as are imposed upon the Members and the Units under the Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties hereto and as a condition of the purchase or receipt by the Transferee of the Acquired Units, the Transferee acknowledges and agrees as follows:

     1. The Transferee has received and read the Agreement and acknowledges that the Transferee is acquiring the Acquired Units in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

     2. By the execution and delivery of this Addendum Agreement, the Transferee represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Company that the following statements are true and correct as of the date hereof:

     (a) The Transferee is acquiring the Acquired Units for its own account solely for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof other than in compliance with all applicable securities Laws.

     (b) If the Transferee is an entity, the Transferee is duly organized and validly existing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization.

     (c) The Transferee (i) has been found suitable to hold Units of the Company by all applicable Gaming Authorities in circumstances where such approval is required, (ii) has obtained all necessary Gaming Licenses, and (iii) is in compliance with all applicable Gaming Laws.

     (d) The execution, delivery and performance by the Transferee of this Addendum Agreement are within the Transferee’s corporate or other powers, as applicable, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on its behalf (or, if the Transferee is an individual, are within such Transferee’s legal right, power and capacity), require no consent, approval, permit, license, order or authorization of, notice to, action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority (except as expressly disclosed in writing to the Board of Managers prior to the date hereof), and do not and will not result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable Law or of any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree or any agreement or other instrument to which the Transferee is a party or by which the Transferee or any of the Transferee’s properties is bound. This Addendum Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Transferee and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Transferee, enforceable against the Transferee in accordance with its terms.

     (e) The Transferee acknowledges that the offering and sale of the Acquired Units have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and are being made in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering. In furtherance thereof, the Transferee represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) and the Transferee has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the risks of its investment in the Acquired Units. The Transferee agrees that it will not take any action that could have an adverse effect on the availability of the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act with respect to the offer and sale of the interests in the Company. In connection with its acquisition of the Acquired Units, the Transferee meets all suitability standards imposed on it by applicable Law.

     (f) The Transferee has been given the opportunity to (i) ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Acquired Units and other matters pertaining to an investment in the Company and (ii) obtain any additional information necessary to evaluate the

merits and risks of an investment in the Company that the Company can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense. In considering its investment in the Acquired Units, the Transferee has evaluated for itself the risks and merits of such investment, and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment, including a complete loss of capital, and in addition has not relied upon any representations made by, or other information (whether oral or written) furnished by or on behalf of, the Company or its Subsidiaries or any director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate of such Persons, other than as set forth in this Agreement. The Transferee has carefully considered and has, to the extent it believes necessary, discussed with legal, tax, accounting and financial advisors the suitability of an investment in the Company in light of its particular tax and financial situation, and has determined that the Acquired Units are a suitable investment for such Member.

     (g) The Transferee does not have any liability or obligation to pay an fees or commissions to any broker, finder, or agent with respect to the execution, delivery or performance of this Addendum Agreement by the Transferee.

     3. The Transferee agrees that the Acquired Units are bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement, and hereby joins in, and agrees to be bound, by, and shall have the benefit of, all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement to the same extent as if the Transferee were an original party to the Agreement or an initial Member, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Transferee’s joinder in the Agreement shall not constitute admission of the Transferee as a Member unless and until the Company executes this Addendum Agreement confirming the due admission of the Transferee. This Addendum Agreement shall be attached to and become a part of the Agreement.

     4. [For good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Transferor and the Transferee, the Transferor hereby transfers and assigns absolutely to the Transferee the Acquired Units, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all rights, title and interest in and to the Acquired Units, with effect from the date hereof. It is hereby confirmed by the Transferor that the Transferor has complied in all respects with the provisions of the Agreement with respect to the transfer of the Acquired Units. The number of Units currently held by the Transferor, and the number of Acquired Units to be transferred and assigned pursuant to this Addendum Agreement, are as follows:]²

Number of Units Held by the Transferor		Number of Acquired Units

     “In exchange for a Capital Contribution of $[_____], the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Company and the Transferee, the Company hereby issues [___] Units to the Transferee.”
