3.3 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Adjustment to Purchase Price. For purposes of this Section 3.3:

(i) the term “Net Working Capital” means (A) the aggregate amount of the “Current Assets” as reflected on the unaudited, management-prepared balance sheet of the Corporation, less (B) the aggregate amount of the “Current Liabilities” as reflected on the unaudited, management-prepared balance sheet of the Corporation. Such Current Assets and Current Liabilities shall specifically exclude (i) any current and deferred income taxes assets and liabilities, and (ii) any amounts related to the Gaming Licenses (account 1071 Prepaid Slot Licenses and account 01075 Prepaid Device Fees as reflected on the unaudited, management-prepared balance sheet of the Corporation) and accounting thereof pursuant to Section 10.7 hereof;

(ii) the term “Target Working Capital” means $0.

(b) Estimated Working Capital. No later than 5 business days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers’ Representative shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Purchaser a statement (the “Estimated Working Capital Statement”) setting forth the Net Working Capital estimated as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital”). The Estimated Working Capital Statement shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the unaudited, management-prepared balance sheet of the Corporation. If the Estimated Working Capital as reflected on the Estimated Working Capital Statement is (i) greater than the Target Working Capital, the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be increased by the amount of such excess, or (ii) less than the Target Working Capital, the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be reduced by the amount of such deficiency. An example of the Estimated Working Capital Statement is attached as Exhibit “L” hereto. The Purchase Price as initially adjusted as of the Closing Date based upon the Estimated Working Capital Statement is referred to hereinafter as the “Adjusted Initial Purchase Price”.

(c) Post-Closing Working Capital Calculation. Within 45 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, at the Purchaser’s cost, and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a statement (the “Actual Working Capital Statement”) which shall set forth an itemized calculation of the Current Assets, the Current Liabilities and the actual Net Working Capital (the “Actual Working Capital”) as of the Closing Date. The Actual Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements. The Sellers’ Representative shall have 30 days after its delivery to review the Actual Working Capital Statement and shall have reasonable access to the work papers of the Purchaser and its accountants used in preparing the Actual Working Capital Statement. If the Sellers’ Representative objects to the Actual Working Capital Statement, the Sellers’ Representative shall inform the Purchaser in writing (an “Objection”), setting forth a specific and detailed description of the basis of the Objection and an Actual Working Capital Statement reflecting the adjustments to the amount of the Actual Working Capital which he believes should be made, which Objection must be delivered to Purchaser on or before the last day of such thirty 30 day period. The Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall then have 30 days to attempt in good faith to reach an agreement with respect to any disputed matters in respect of the Actual Working Capital. In reviewing any Objection, the Purchaser and its agents and representatives shall have reasonable access to the work papers of Sellers’ Representative and its accountants. If the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the determination of the foregoing items within said thirty 30 day period, each shall submit its respective prepared Actual Working Capital Statement to the independent accounting firm of Casey Peterson & Associates, Ltd. (the “Audit Firm”). The Audit Firm shall, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, determine in accordance with this Agreement, and only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Actual Working Capital Statement requires adjustment. The Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall direct the Audit Firm to use all reasonable efforts to render its determination within 30 days after such submission. The Audit Firm’s determination regarding any such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative shall make readily available to the Audit Firm all relevant books and records and any work papers (including those of the Parties’ respective accountants) relating to the Actual Working Capital Statement and all other items reasonably requested by the Audit Firm. The fees and expenses of the Audit Firm shall be borne equally by the parties. The “Final Working Capital Statement” shall be deemed to be (i) the Actual Working Capital Statement if no Objection is delivered by the Sellers’ Representative during the 30 day period specified above, or (ii) if an Objection is delivered the by Sellers’ Representative, the Actual Working Capital Statement, as adjusted by either (A) the agreement of the parties or (B) the Audit Firm.

(d) Adjustment to Purchase Price. If the Actual Working Capital as reflected on the Final Working Capital Statement is less than or greater than the Estimated Working Capital, then the net amount of the difference between such Actual Working Capital and the Estimated Working Capital, taking into account the initial adjustment to Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.3(b) above, plus interest at the prime rate (as set forth in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal) on such net amount from the Closing Date through the date of payment, shall be paid by the Purchaser or the Sellers’ Representative, as the case may be, to the other party within 10 days after the final determination of the Final Working Capital Statement. The Purchaser and the Sellers agree that any payment made pursuant to this Section 3.3(d) shall be treated as a decrease or increase, as the case may be, of the Adjusted Initial Purchase Price.

3.4 Nevada Gold Common Stock. At Closing, Nevada Gold shall issue to Michael Trucano, individually, a certificate representing a number of shares of Nevada Gold Common Stock equal to $100,000 divided by the Average Share Price (the “Consideration Shares”). The certificate for the Consideration Shares to be issued to Michael Trucano (and to any permitted transferee of Michael Trucano who is the beneficial owner of the Consideration Shares) shall bear substantially the following legend:

“THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE REPURCHASE RIGHTS OF THE CORPORATION SET FORTH IN SECTION 3.5 OF THE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT.”

3.5 Repurchase Rights. At any time following the Closing through and including the second anniversary thereof, Nevada Gold shall have the right, exercised upon 30 days prior notice to Michael Trucano, to purchase the Consideration Shares from Michael Trucano (or any permitted transferee of Michael Trucano who is the beneficial owner of the Consideration Shares) for an aggregate purchase price of $125,000 (the “Share Repurchase Price”). The closing of the purchase and sale of the Consideration Shares shall occur on the 30th day following receipt of such notice, at which closing Michael Trucano (or any permitted transferee of Michael Trucano who is the beneficial owner of the Consideration Shares) shall deliver the Consideration Shares to Nevada Gold, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, against receipt of the Share Purchase Price, payable in cash, certified check or by wire transfer in immediately available funds. Any permitted transferee of the Consideration Shares Michael shall be required to deliver an opinion of counsel with respect to such transfer and acknowledge in writing the repurchase rights of Nevada Gold set forth in this Section 3.5 prior to the effectiveness of such transfer.

5.2 Capitalization; Corporate Matters.

(a) Capitalization. The total authorized capital stock of the Corporation is set forth in Schedule 5.2. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.2, as of the Closing Date the Corporation will have no Subsidiaries or Affiliates or investments or ownership interests in any other corporation, joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity. Except for the Stock, no other shares or securities of the Corporation are issued or outstanding. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.2, and except for this Agreement, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, rights, calls, contracts, commitments, understandings or agreements to purchase or otherwise acquire, or relating to the issuance of, any shares or other securities of the Corporation, including without limitation, any rights of conversion or exchange under any outstanding securities or other instruments.

All of the Financial Statements present fairly the financial position, results of operations, income, cash flows and changes in stockholder’s equity for the Corporation on the dates and for the periods then ended, except that the Unaudited Financial Statements have been prepared on a non-GAAP basis, do not contain notes, statements of cash flows or shareholders’ equity and are subject to normal year-end adjustments. The Corporation has maintained its books and records in a manner sufficient to permit the preparation of all of the Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP.

5.7 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.7, the Corporation does not have any and is not subject to any Indebtedness, debts, obligations, guarantees of the obligations of other parties or other liabilities (whether known or unknown, fixed, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, or due or become due) except:

All Accounts Receivable are or will be due to the Corporation and collectible in due course after the Closing Date except as provided in the reserves for write-offs and uncollectible or doubtful Accounts Receivable reflected in the Financial Statements or the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. All such reserves set forth in the Financial Statements or the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet have been established consistent with past customs and practices of the Corporation, in accordance with GAAP, and are reasonable and adequate, in light of the Corporation’s past experiences to reflect the risk of non-collections in respect of the Business.

The representations and warranties made by the Sellers and the Corporation in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, and any and all other agreements, instruments, papers, reports, certificates, documents and information (including financial information) delivered or to be delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Document and to which the Purchaser has been afforded access, do not and will not include any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make them, when taken together and in light of the circumstances in which they were or are made, not false or misleading. All agreements, instruments, papers, reports, certificates, documents and information (including financial information) delivered by or on behalf of the Sellers or the Corporation to the Purchaser prior to or subsequent to the date hereof in connection with this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents are or will be true, complete, correct and authentic. In no event shall the listing of an agreement, instrument, document or other item on a Schedule hereto itself be sufficient to disclose a breach, violation, dispute, claim or any similar condition or circumstance relating to any matter unless specifically disclosed in the applicable Schedule. The Schedules delivered by the Sellers to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement do not contain any materially adverse disclosures which have not otherwise been previously disclosed to the Purchaser in written due diligence materials.

5.29 Brokers. All negotiations relative to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been carried out by the Sellers and the Corporation directly with the Purchaser without the intervention of any third party on their behalf in such manner as to give rise to any valid claim by any third party against the Purchaser for a finder’s fee, brokerage commission or similar payment.

5.30 Review of Forms. Michael Trucano has (i) received and carefully reviewed the Annual Reports on Forms 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by Nevada Gold with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since January 1, 2009 and (ii) had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Nevada Gold concerning such forms and the documents incorporated by reference therein and to obtain any documents relating to Nevada Gold which are on file with the SEC and available for inspection by the public. The Corporation is aware of the risks inherent in an investment in Nevada Gold and specifically the risks of an investment in the Nevada Gold Common Stock. In addition, Michael Trucano is aware and acknowledges that there can be no assurance of the future viability or profitability of Nevada Gold, nor can there be any assurance relating to the current or future price of the Nevada Gold Common Stock, as quoted on the NYSE AMEX Stock Exchange, or market conditions generally.

5.31 Investment Representations. Michael Trucano is an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Michael Trucano is acquiring the Consideration Shares for his own account and will not sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of (including pursuant to a liquidating dividend or otherwise) any of the Consideration Shares or any interest therein, without registration under the Securities Act and applicable state “blue sky” laws, except in a transaction which in the opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser is exempt therefrom. Michael Trucano has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of an investment in the Nevada Gold Common Stock and has obtained, in his judgment, sufficient information from Nevada Gold to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Nevada Gold Common Stock. Michael Trucano has been provided the opportunity to obtain information and documents concerning the Purchaser and the Nevada Gold Common Stock, and has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the directors and officers Nevada Gold concerning Nevada Gold and the Nevada Gold Common Stock and other matters pertaining to this investment. Michael Trucano is acquiring the Consideration Shares for investment purposes only, and not with a view to or for the resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof. Michael Trucano acknowledges that the offer of the Nevada Gold Common Stock will not be reviewed by any governmental agency and is being sold to Michael Trucano in reliance upon exemption from the Securities Act. Michael Trucano acknowledges and understands that the Consideration Shares, upon issuance, shall be “restricted securities” under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, shall not be registered with the SEC under the Securities Act and may not be sold without registration by Nevada Gold or an exemption from such registration requirements. Michael Trucano acknowledges that the certificates representing the Consideration Shares will bear the legend set forth in Section 3.4.

(a) Sellers will refrain from, either alone or in conjunction with any other Person, or directly or indirectly through its present or future Affiliates, employees or consultants, for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date:

(i) employing, engaging or seeking to employ or engage any Person who had been an Employee or employee of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date;

(ii) causing or attempting to cause (A) any client, customer or supplier of the Business to terminate or materially reduce its business with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates or (B) any officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates engaged in the Business to resign or sever a relationship with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates; and

(iii) participating or engaging in (other than through the ownership of 5% or less of any class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) the slot-machine routing business within a sixty (60) mile radius from any location where the Corporation currently conducts the Business, including the Existing Locations.

(b) The provisions of Section 10.6(a) shall not be deemed to preclude Sellers from owning and investing in those casino properties set forth on Schedule 10.6 located in Deadwood, South Dakota (the “Existing Locations”). At all times following the Closing, the Purchaser, through its ownership of the Corporation, shall provide slot machine services at each of the Existing Locations pursuant to existing agreements entered into with the owners or operators (the “Existing Agreements”). At all times following the Closing, each of the Sellers hereby covenants and agrees to use their collective best efforts to assist the Purchaser and the Corporation to maintain the current business relationship between the Corporation and the owners or operators at each of the Existing Locations pursuant to the Existing Agreements. In furtherance of the foregoing sentence, each of the Sellers shall use their collective best efforts to encourage the owners or operators at each of the Existing Locations to maintain its existing business relationship with the Corporation at all times following the Closing. In the event the business relationship with the Corporation at any of the Existing Locations is terminated, following such termination Sellers will in no way assist, advise or otherwise counsel such owners or operators in any manner whatsoever including, without limitation, with respect to slot machines or services related thereto.

(c) From the date of execution of this Agreement through the Closing Date, the Sellers will refrain from, either alone or in conjunction with any other Person (including, without limitation, present or future Affiliates, employees or consultants), directly or indirectly: (i) employing, engaging or seeking to employ or engage any Person that is an employee of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates as of the date of this Agreement; and (ii) causing or attempting to cause (A) any client, customer or supplier of the Business to terminate or materially reduce its business with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates or (B) any officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates engaged in the Business to resign or sever a relationship with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates.

(d) Sellers agree that any remedy at Law for any breach of the provisions of this Section would be inadequate, and accordingly, Sellers hereby consent to the granting by any court of an injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of actual monetary loss being proved or posting a bond, in order that the breach or threatened breach of such provisions may be effectively restrained.

10.7 Payment for Gaming Licenses. As consideration for the continued use of the gaming device licenses in the State of South Dakota (the “Gaming Device Licenses”) for each slot-machine by the current location owners which have been prepaid by the Corporation through the period ending June 30, 2012 (the “Termination Date”), which Gaming Device Licenses are currently in full force and effect, following the Closing the Corporation (or the Purchaser) shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative the amount of $300,000 (the “License Fee”) for the period commencing on December 31, 2011 through the Termination Date, or a pro rated portion of $300,000 if the Closing Date occurs subsequent to December 31, 2011. The License Fee shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Sellers’ Representative on the first of each month immediately following the Closing Date at a monthly rate of $50,000 per month. On the Closing Date, the Corporation shall not be liable to any creditor or lender for any accounts payable or loans owed to such creditor or lender in connection with the prepayment of the License Fee for the Gaming Device Licenses. The Purchaser and the Sellers agree that any payment made pursuant to this Section 10.7 shall be treated as a decrease or increase, as the case may be, of the Adjusted Initial Purchase Price. Should any additional locations be added to the Business prior to the Closing then, in addition to the License Fee, a similar pro rated payment shall be made by the Corporation (or the Purchaser) to the Sellers’ Representative for Gaming Device Licenses for a License Fee at those locations on the same basis as set forth above.

10.8 Transfer of Title to Certain Assets; Life Insurance Policy. At or prior to Closing, the Sellers and the Corporation shall transfer and convey all rights, title and interest in and to the Transferred Real Property, the Life Insurance Policy, and all other assets identified on Exhibit B from the Corporation to the Transferee or other third-party.

10.9 Post-Closing Adjustment. The Sellers and the Purchaser agree that, if, on June 1, 2012 (the “Adjustment Date”), (a) the number of slot machines licensed in South Dakota by the Corporation in connection with the Business (the “Route Operation”), is less than 900, and (b) the number of retail gaming locations licensed by the South Dakota Commission on Gaming and served by the Corporation in the State of South Dakota is less than 19, then the principal amount of the First Promissory Note shall be automatically reduced by the product of (i) $7,000 multiplied by (ii) the difference between 900 and the actual number machines in the Route Operation on the Adjustment Date. By way of example, if the number of machines in the Route Operation at the adjustment date is 854 and there are less than 19 locations in the Route Operation then the principal amount of the First Promissory Note shall be automatically reduced by $322,000, equal to $7,000 per machine multiplied by 46 machines; provided however, that, if the total revenue generated by the Route Operation for the twelve-month period ending on the Adjustment Date is at least 95% of the total revenue (net win) generated for the 12 month period ended June 1, 2011, as determined by the accountants of the Corporation in accordance with GAAP, then no reduction of the principal amount of the First Promissory Note shall occur. Prior to the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative agreeing on removal of any slot machine from an existing retail location during the period commencing on the Closing Date through the Adjustment Date, the parties shall use their reasonable efforts to place those removed slot machines in a new or existing location along the Route Operation. The Purchaser and the Sellers agree that any payment made pursuant to this Section 10.9 shall be treated as a decrease of the Adjusted Initial Purchase Price.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Indemnification of Purchaser.

(a) Each of the Sellers and the Corporation shall and do hereby jointly and severally agree to reimburse, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and all of its Affiliates and their respective shareholders, members, partners, principals, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, representatives and successors and assigns from and against and in respect of any and all damages, losses, deficiencies, liabilities, Claims, demands, penalties, fines, restitutions, reimbursements, refunds, charges, costs and expenses of every nature and character whatsoever, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and costs of environmental investigation and response (collectively, “Losses”), that result from, relate to or arise out of:

(i) any breach of a representation or warranty made by any Seller or the Corporation hereunder or under any Ancillary Document (in each case, without regard to any qualifications or limitations with respect to “materiality”, whether by reference to “material”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect”, or any other similar qualification contained herein or by reference to any such term in any definition of a defined term herein);

(ii) the failure of any Seller to perform any agreement or covenant on its part required to be performed hereunder or under any Ancillary Documents, whether prior to, on or after the Closing Date, or the failure of the Corporation to perform any agreement or covenant on its part required to be performed hereunder or under any Ancillary Document prior to or on the Closing Date;

(iii) any Claims against, involving or affecting the Corporation and pending as of the Closing Date, or instituted after the Closing Date but based upon facts or events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date; o

(iv) any liabilities or obligations of the Corporation or the Sellers relating to the Transferred Real Property; or

(v) any (A) Taxes (or the nonpayment thereof) of the Corporation for all taxable periods ending prior to the Closing Date and for the portion of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Periods”) and/or the portions of all Straddle Tax Periods through the close of business on the Closing Date, (B) Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Corporation (or any predecessor) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local or foreign Legal Requirements relating to Taxes, (C) Taxes of any person (other than the Corporation) imposed on the Corporation as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing, or (D) transfer Taxes incurred by any Seller in connection with the transaction contemplated hereunder (collectively, the “Purchaser’s Indemnification Events”).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification obligations of the Corporation under this Section 11.1 shall terminate upon Closing, at which time the Sellers shall be solely responsible for Losses relating to or arising out of the Purchaser’s Indemnification Events. The Sellers acknowledge that the Escrow Holdback will be used to satisfy Losses arising out of the Purchaser’s Indemnification Events in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and that the Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable for any deficiency in the event the Escrow Holdback is insufficient to cover all such Losses.

11.2 Indemnification of Sellers.

The Purchaser shall and hereby does agree to reimburse, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and all of their Affiliates and their respective shareholders, members, partners, principals, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, representatives and successors and assigns from and against and in respect of any and all Losses that result from, relate to or arise out of:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser contained herein or in any Ancillary Document; or

(b) the failure of the Purchaser to perform any agreement or covenant on its part required to be performed hereunder, whether prior to, on or after the Closing Date (collectively, the “Sellers’ Indemnification Events” and together with the Purchaser’s Indemnification Events, the “Indemnification Events”):

11.3 Survival Periods. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Sellers, the Corporation and the Purchaser, as applicable, contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing for a period of five (5) years following the Closing or the statute of limitations applicable to any claim asserted, whichever is greater; provided, however that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.12, 5.18 and 5.21 shall survive the Closing indefinitely; provided, however, that any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 11.3 will continue to survive if a notice seeking indemnification shall have been timely given under this Article XI on or prior to such termination date, until the related claim for indemnification has been fully satisfied or otherwise completely and finally resolved pursuant to this Article XI.

11.4 Notice; Indemnity Claim Procedures.

(a) Within thirty (30) days after receipt by an indemnified party (the “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the assertion of any claim or potential claim by a person not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which such Indemnified Party expects to make a request for indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall give the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice describing such claim in reasonable detail; provided, however, that the failure to so notify within such thirty (30) day period shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent of actual damages incurred by the Indemnifying Party as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall, upon receipt of such notice, be entitled to participate in, or at the Indemnified Party’s option, assume the defense, appeal or settlement of, such claim with respect to such indemnity which has been invoked, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and approved by the Indemnified Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifiying Party in connection with Third Pary Claims at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense. The settlement of any Third Party Claim shall be made by the party who has assumed the defense, appeal or settlement thereof in accordance with this paragraph but shall not be made without the consent of the other party, unless the terms of such settlement or compromise involves only the payment of money without any admission of wrongdoing by the party on whose behalf the settlement or compromise is to be made. In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense, appeal or settlement of such claim within ten (10) days after receipt of notice thereof from the other party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (at the sole cost and expense of the other party) to undertake the defense or appeal of, or settle or compromise, such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Any indemnifiable claim that is not a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond to such notice within five (5) days of such written notice, it shall have no further right to contest or dispute the validity of such indemnity claim. In the event that a dispute arises between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party as a result of any such indemnity claim, the parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution thereof for a period of thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude the assertion by the Indemnified Party of any right hereunder or the seeking of any and all remedies permitted hereunder against the Indemnifying Party for any such claim.

(c) No knowledge or investigation by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party prior to or subsequent to the date hereof with respect to any fact or other matter relating to a representation of warranty made hereunder by an Indemnifying Party shall be deemed or constitute a waiver of such Indemnified Party’s right to enforce any covenant, representation or warranty of the Indemnifying Party hereunder or affect the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder, unless such fact or matter is specifically disclosed by the Indemnifying Party in this Agreement or the Schedules hereto (except for any disclosed Claim which constitutes a Purchaser’s Indemnification Event), it being the intent of this paragraph that the Indemnified Party be able to rely on such representations and warranties regardless of any such knowledge or investigation. Any waiver of a party’s right to indemnification under this Agreement must be express and in writing.

11.5 Right of Set-Off. Notwithstanding any of the terms and provisions contained herein to the contrary, should any claims for indemnification be made by the Purchaser against the Sellers in good faith arising out of the Purchaser’s Indemnification Events pursuant to the provisions of Article XI and the Sellers shall fail to indemnify the Purchaser for the Losses relating thereto within twenty (20) business days thereafter then, in addition to the Purchaser’s rights to satisfy such Losses in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Purchaser shall have the right (but no obligation), in the exercise of its good faith judgment and following written notice and an opportunity to cure to the Sellers’ Representative, to withhold, set-off and deduct the amount of the Losses from or against any payments due to the Sellers’ Representative under any of the Promissory Notes then or thereafter due and payable to the Sellers’ Representative; provided, however, that any amount that may be withheld, set-off or deducted pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be reduced by any amounts actually paid on such claim to the Purchaser Indemnified Party by the Sellers pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI; provided, further, that if it is finally determined that the Purchaser was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI, such amount, plus interest thereon accruing as the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, shall be paid to the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with the terms of the Promissory Notes. This Section 11.5 shall not prohibit, impair, restrict or limit any other rights or remedies a Purchaser may have against the Sellers as a result of a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, whether contractual, at law or in equity. This Section 11.5 shall not prohibit, impair, restrict or limit any other rights or remedies of Seller to contest a Purchaser Indemnified Party’s claimed right to set-off the amounts otherwise due under the Promissory Notes.

11.6 No Consequential or Incidental Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, neither the Purchaser nor the Sellers will have any liability for any matter arising under this Agreement or as a result of or in connection with the transaction described herein or for any matter relating to the Stock, for loss, damages or other form of monetary relief, compensation or remedy, except for the actual amount of damages incurred as a result of such matter, condition, event or occurrence, and neither party will have a right to, nor will a party claim, demand, seek, or pray for any relief in the form of consequential or incidental damages, including, but not limited to, any claim for "lost opportunities," "changes in markets," "lost tax benefits," or the like, except insofar as the same are expressly permitted by a specific provision of this Agreement (e.g., the right to attorneys' fees and costs as allowed hereunder).

ARTICLE XII

TAX MATTERS

12.1 Tax Liabilities and Benefits. All Tax liabilities imposed on the Corporation or for which the Corporation may otherwise be liable and/or Tax benefits with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods (other than Tax refunds resulting from the carry-back to the Pre-Closing Tax Periods of losses arising in Tax periods or portions thereof beginning after the Closing Date or any portion of a Straddle Tax Period after the Closing Date), shall be for the account of and paid by, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Sellers. Tax liabilities imposed on the Corporation or for which the Corporation may otherwise be liable and/or Tax benefits with respect to Post-Closing Tax Periods (including Tax refunds resulting from the carry-back to Pre-Closing Tax Periods of losses arising in Post-Closing Tax Periods or any portion of a Straddle Tax Period after the Closing Date) shall be for the account of and paid by, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Purchaser. For this purpose, Tax liabilities with respect to a Tax period which begins on or before and ends after the Closing Date (“Straddle Tax Periods”) shall be apportioned between the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date and the portion beginning on the day after the Closing Date as follows: (a) in the case of Tax liabilities or benefits, other than those relating to income, profits, gains, sales, use or value added Taxes, on a per diem basis, and (b) in the case of Tax liabilities or benefits based on income, profits, gains, sales, use or value added, to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date as though the Tax year or other Tax period of the Corporation terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date and based on accounting methods, elections and conventions that do not have the effect of distorting the allocation of income and expenses within a Tax year or other Tax period. In any event, the parties agree that the Sellers will be allocated the benefit of the net operating loss carry forward and other tax carry forwards as reflected on the Corporation’s 2010 federal income tax return, Form 1120, for purposes of determining the allocation of the Taxes between the parties pursuant to this Article XII hereof. In addition, any installments of estimated tax payments made by the Corporation prior to the Closing Date with respect to Tax Returns for all Tax Periods which have not been filed by the Closing Date shall inure to the benefit of the Sellers for purposes of determining the allocation of the Taxes between the parties pursuant to this Article XII hereof. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, any real property transfer Tax and other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by the Sellers when due. The Sellers shall, at their own cost and expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes of fees.

12.2 Tax Indemnity. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligations of the Sellers contained in this Agreement, the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any Losses arising out of or attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Corporation for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and/or the portions of all Straddle Tax Periods through the close of business on the Closing Date, (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Corporation (or any predecessor thereof) is or was a member at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign law or regulation, (iii) any and all Taxes imposed on the Corporation as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Legal Requirement, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date, (iv) any Tax imposed under Code Section 1374, or (v) any Tax imposed under Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1(e)(5), and (vi) any state, local or foreign Tax imposed on the Sellers.

12.3 Tax Returns.

(a) The Sellers shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, the Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Corporation for calendar year 2011. All Tax Returns required to be filed by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 12.3(a) shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the Tax Returns filed by or on behalf of the Corporation for the preceding Tax period. In order to facilitate preparation of such Tax Returns, the Purchaser shall, within a reasonable period of time after the Sellers’ written request, provide the Sellers with such information as the Sellers shall identify that is reasonably necessary for preparing Tax Returns described in this Section 12.3(a). Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall also prepare and provide to the Purchaser amendments to the eligible income Tax Returns for any open Pre-Closing Tax Periods to carry back, to the greatest extent possible, any loss arising with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (the “Tax Return Amendments”). The Sellers shall permit the Purchaser to review and comment on each such Tax Returns or Tax Return Amendments no later than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed filing date therefor (or, if earlier, the due date thereof) and shall make such revisions thereto as are reasonably requested by the Purchaser. Each Party shall fully cooperate with the other to permit such returns to be timely and accurately file.

(b) The Purchaser shall prepare and file, or shall cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Corporation for calendar year 2012 and all subsequent tax years. In order to facilitate the preparation of Tax Returns, the Sellers shall, within a reasonable period of time after the Purchaser's written request, provide the Purchaser with such information as the Purchaser shall identify that is reasonably necessary for preparing Tax Returns described in this Section 12.3(b). Such information shall be submitted in a form consistent with prior practices of the Corporation during the preceding Tax period. Each Party shall fully cooperate with the other to permit such returns to be timely and accurately file.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Article XII, the Sellers shall pay (or reimburse the Corporation or the Purchaser for paying) and the Purchaser shall pay (or reimburse the Sellers for paying) the Taxes reportable on the Tax Returns referred to in Sections 12.3(a) and (b) (and any subsequent adjustments thereto) to the extent provided in Section 12.1 hereof. Any reimbursements under this Section 12.3(c) shall be made within fourteen (14) days of receipt of written notice from the Purchaser or the Seller that such reimbursement is due. The Purchaser and the Sellers agree that any payment made pursuant to this Section 12.3(c) shall be treated as a decrease or increase, as the case may be, of the Adjusted Initial Purchase Price.

(d) The Purchaser and the Sellers shall, and shall cause the Corporation, to (i) treat and report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in all respects consistently with the provisions of this Agreement for all Tax purposes, and (ii) not take any actions or positions inconsistent with the obligations of the parties set forth herein.

(e) At all times after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have the right to control the conduct of all audit examinations or other administrative or judicial investigations, inquiries or proceedings with respect to Tax liability of the Corporation (each, a “Tax Contest”) and the Sellers shall provide reasonable cooperation and assistance in connection therewith. The Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to give notice to the Sellers of any Tax Contest which would be for the account or inure to the benefit of the Sellers, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 12.1; provided, however, the Purchaser shall have no liability for the failure to give such notice except to the extent the Sellers are directly prejudiced or damaged by such failure). In the case of a Tax Contest after the Closing Date that relates solely to income Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, the Purchaser shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of such Tax Contest that could affect such Tax liability of the Corporation (or portion thereof) without the written consent of the Sellers, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The procedures set forth in this Section 12.3(e) shall be applied in lieu of the procedures set forth in Section 11.4 in the case of any Tax Contest.

12.4 Cooperation. In connection with the preparation of Tax Returns and audit examinations relating to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries by any Governmental Authority or administrative or judicial proceedings resulting therefrom, the Sellers and the Purchaser will cooperate fully with one another, including, but not limited to, the furnishing or making available on a timely basis of records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation of Tax Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by taxing authorities as to the imposition of Taxes.

12.5 Tax Elections.

(a) No Change or Other Election. Without the prior written consent of Purchaser, no Seller shall make or change any election, change an annual accounting period, adopt or change any accounting method, file any amended Tax Return, enter into any closing agreement, settle any Tax claim or assessment relating to the Corporation, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment relating to the Corporation, or take any other similar action relating to the filing of any Tax Return or the payment of any Tax, if such election, adoption, change, amendment, agreement, settlement, surrender, consent or other action would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability of Purchaser or of the Corporation for any period ending after the Closing Date or decreasing any Tax attribute of the Corporation existing on the Closing Date.

(b) Survival. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the covenants and agreements of the parties contained in this Article XII shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for the Taxes in question (taking into account any extensions or waivers thereof).

ARTICLE XIII

TERMINATION

13.1 Right to Terminate Agreement.. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual agreement of the Sellers and the Purchaser;

(b) by the Purchaser at any time after December 31, 2011 (or March 1, 2012, if the Closing Date is extended as provided in Section 4.1 hereof) if any condition set forth in Article VIII hereof shall not have been satisfied by the Sellers or waived by the Purchaser (provided that the Purchaser is not in material breach of this Agreement), or at any time prior to the Closing Date if the Sellers or the Corporation shall be in material breach of this Agreement and the Sellers and/or the Corporation shall not have cured such material breach within 15 days of written notice to cure from the Purchaser;

(c) by the Sellers at any time after December 31, 2011 (or March 1, 2012, if the Closing Date is extended as provided in Section 4.1 hereof) if any condition set forth in Article IX shall not have been satisfied by the Purchaser or waived by the Sellers (provided that the Sellers and the Corporation are not in material breach of this Agreement), or at any time prior to the Closing Date if the Purchaser shall be in material breach of this Agreement and the Purchaser shall not have cured such material breach within 15 days of written notice to cure from the Purchaser;

(d) by the Purchaser if any information delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.16 causes any representation or warranty of the Sellers and the Corporation to be inaccurate or untrue; or

(e) by the Purchaser at any time, if a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

13.2 Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1, each party shall pay its own costs and expense relating to this Agreement, provided, that termination of this Agreement shall not release any party from any liability which such party may have for any breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant made by such party or for any expense which under the provisions of this Agreement such party agrees to bear; provided, further that the maximum amount of liability of the Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Sellers and the Corporation, on the other hand, resulting from the termination of this Agreement by any party hereto pursuant to Section 13.1 shall not exceed the amount of $100,000, which amount shall include the Deposit. If the Purchaser fails to close the transactions contemplated hereunder following the satisfaction of all of the Purchaser’s conditions to close set forth in Article VIII, the Sellers are not in material breach of this Agreement and are otherwise ready, willing and able to close, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative a termination fee in the amount equal to $100,000 (the “Purchaser Termination Fee”), payment of which shall be fully satisfied by the Escrow Agent remitting the Deposit directly to the Sellers’ Representative. In no event shall the Purchaser be required to pay the Purchaser Termination Fee on more than one occasion and the right of the Sellers’ Representative to receive payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Sellers, the Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates against the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. Upon payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 13.2, none of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby.

13.3 Purchaser’s Right to Specific Performance. Sellers agree that Purchaser will sustain irreparable harm in the event that the Closing does not occur in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, despite the conditions to Seller’s obligations to close as set forth in Article VII hereof having been satisfied or waived, and Purchaser not being in breach of this Agreement and otherwise ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing hereunder. In such event, Purchaser may, at its sole election, seek an injunction to prevent a breach of Seller’s obligation to consummate the Closing and shall be entitled to enforce its right to specific performance of this Agreement by Seller.

ARTICLE XIV

FIRST PROMISSORY NOTE

Borrower:	NG South Dakota, LLC	Lender:	Michael J. Trucano,
	50 Briar Hollow Lane, Suite 500W		Sellers’ Representative
	Houston, TX 77027		155 Sherman Street
			Deadwood, SD 57732

Principal Amount: $1,425,000

Date of Note: _______________

PROMISE TO PAY. NG SOUTH DAKOTA, LLC (“Borrower”) promises to pay to MICHAEL J. TRUCANO, as Sellers’ Representative under the Stock Purchase Agreement, (“Lender”), its successors and assigns, or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of One Million Four Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($1,425,000), together with interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum on the unpaid principal balance from January 1, 2012, until paid in full.

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this Note in fifty nine (59) equal monthly principal installments of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) each, together with accrued interest thereon, and one final payment estimated in the sum of $839,175. Borrower’s first monthly principal and accrued interest installment shall be due and payable on the 1st day of February, 2012, and on or before the 1st day of each month thereafter until the 1st day of January, 2017, at which time the remaining principal balance and accrued interest shall be payable in full, according to the amortization schedule attached hereto.

The unpaid principal of the Note shall be payable on the earlier to occur of the following:

a) January 1, 2017; or

b) Such earlier date as payment hereunder shall have been accelerated by virtue of the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, at which time the entire unpaid principal balance hereof and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other charges payable pursuant to the terms hereof shall, in any event be fully due and payable.

On January 1, 2017, the entire principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable in full. All payments shall be applied first to any costs of collection, then to late charges, then to interest and then to the principal balance. If a default exists, the Lender may apply any payments received to principal, interest, late charges or other amounts due from Borrower in such order as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, shall determine. If any payment of principal, interest, late charge or any other sum required to be made hereunder shall become due and payable on a day other than a business day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding business day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable interest rate during such extension.

Borrower shall make all payments to the Escrow Agent, Lawrence Title Company, Spearfish, South Dakota.

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to Lender.

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is ten (10) days or more late, Borrower will be charged 2.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $200.00, whichever is greater. This late charge shall apply individually to all payments past due and there will be no daily pro rata adjustment. This provision shall not be deemed to excuse a late payment or be deemed a waiver of any other rights that the Lender may have, including the right to declare the entire principal balance and all accrued interest to be immediately due and payable.

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, then, at the option of the Lender, during the entire period during which such default shall occur and be continuing and whether or not the Lender has exercised Lender’s option to accelerate the maturity of this Note and declare the entire principal balance due and payable, the interest rate of this Note shall be increased by adding a 3.000 percentage point margin (“Default Rate Margin”). However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Note:

Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment within ten (10) days after any payment becomes due under the Note.

Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other material term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note, and such failure is not cured with ten (10) days following notice to Borrower, or if default occurs with respect to any other term or condition or event of default as defined under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement or in the event a default occurs under any loan document including any Security Agreement executed in accordance with this Note and Stock Purchase Agreement, then the entire principal balance with accrued interest thereon and late charges, if any, shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the Lender.

Insolvency. The dissolution of Borrower (regardless of whether election to continue is made), or any other termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Borrower’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or by other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against a material portion of the Collateral securing the Indebtedness. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding in an amount determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

LENDER’S RIGHTS. Upon an event of default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance under this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES; EXPENSES. Lender may hire or pay a third party to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender that amount. This includes, subject to any limits under applicable law, Lender’s attorneys’ fees and legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), and appeals. If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs in addition to all other sums provided by law.

GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed, construed and enforced by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of South Dakota without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of South Dakota.

WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY; JURISDICTION AND VENUE; SITUS OF TRANSACTION. The Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in any action relating to or arising under this Note. At the option of the Lender, this Note may be enforced in any United States District Court in South Dakota or in the Circuit Court, Fourth Judicial Circuit, Lawrence County, South Dakota; the Borrower consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court and waives any argument that venue in such forums is not convenient. In the event the Borrower commences any action in another jurisdiction or venue under any tort or contract theory arising directly or indirectly from the relationship created by this Note, the holder at their option shall be entitled to have the case transferred to the jurisdiction and venue above described, or if such transfer cannot be accomplished under applicable law, to have such case dismissed without prejudice.

COLLATERAL. Borrower acknowledges that this Note is secured by a first lien and security interest in the assets of Borrower, including the stock owned by Borrower, pursuant to a Security Agreement (Exhibit F hereto).

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT. Stock Purchase Agreement dated October ___, 2011, the terms of which are fully incorporated herein by this reference.

SET OFF RIGHTS UNDER STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT. Without intending to limit all terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Borrower shall have that right of set-off set forth in Article 11.5 therein.

DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of this Note, all terms not specifically defined in this Note shall have the same meaning as terms defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated October ___, 2011, and the Security Agreement (Exhibit F) executed in accordance with Stock Purchase Agreement.

SUCCESSOR INTERESTS. The terms of this Note shall be binding upon Borrower, and upon Borrowers’, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

GENERAL PROVISIONS. If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, that fact will not affect the rest of the Note. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Note. No delay or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such right or of any other remedy under this Note. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right or remedy on any future occasion. Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker, or endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender’s security interest in the collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made. The obligations under this Note are joint and several.

PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS NOTE, BORROWER HAS READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE. BORROWER AGREES TO THE TERMS OF THE NOTE. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES RECEIPT OF A COMPLETED COPY OF THIS PROMISSORY NOTE.

Borrower and Corporation will at any time or times hereafter execute such financing statements, lien notations on titles, and other instruments and perform such acts as the Secured Party may request to establish, maintain, perfect, and enforce Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral and rights under this Agreement, and will pay all costs of filing and recording.

6. Borrower and Corporation will keep all tangible Collateral in good condition, normal depreciation excepted, and insured against loss or damage by fire (with extended coverage) theft, physical damage, and against such other risks, including without limitation public liability, in such amounts, in such companies, and upon such terms as Secured Party may reasonably require.

All sums so advanced or paid by the Secured Party shall be payable by Borrower on demand with interest at the maximum rate allowed by law and shall be a part of the Secured Obligations.

Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Collateral, authorized or unauthorized, shall be paid directly to Secured Party. Proceeds received by Borrower and Corporation are held as property of the Secured Party, to the extent of the Secured Obligations, as an express trust on behalf of Secured Party and shall be delivered to Secured Party in a form satisfactory to Secured Party. No provision contained in this Agreement shall be construed to authorize any sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of the Collateral without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.

AT LEAST ANNUALLY, THE BORROWER AND CORPORATION SHALL SUPPLY SECURED PARTY AN UPDATED LISTING OF ALL COLLATERAL SUBJECT TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.

9. At all reasonable times, Borrower and Corporation will permit Secured Party or its agents to examine or inspect the Collateral, wherever located.

10. Borrower and Corporation will promptly notify Secured Party of any material loss or damage to any of the Collateral.

11. Secured Party shall have the authority (whether or not a default, as hereinafter defined, has occurred) but shall not be obligated to: (a) notify any or all account debtors (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) of Borrower and Corporation of the existence of Secured Party's security interest and to pay or remit all sums constituting proceeds of Collateral directly to the Secured Party or its nominee; (b) in the name of Borrower and/or Corporation or otherwise, to demand, collect, receive and receipt for, compound, compromise, settle, prosecute and discontinue any suits or proceedings in respect to any or all of the Collateral or proceeds thereof; (c) take any action with the Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable in order to realize on the Collateral including, without limitation, the power to perform any contract, to endorse in the name of Borrower and Corporation any checks, drafts, notes or other instruments or documents received in payment of or on account of the Collateral.

12. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default: (a) failure of Borrower and Corporation or of any co-maker, endorser, surety or guarantor to pay when due, following an applicable cure period, any amount payable under any of the Secured Obligations; (b) failure to perform any Agreement of Borrower and Corporation contained herein, and such failure continues for 10 days after notice thereof; (e) Borrower or Corporation becomes insolvent or are generally not paying their debts as such debts become due; (f) appointment of or assignment to a custodian, as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code for any property of Borrower or Corporation; or, loss, substantial damage to, destruction, theft, encumbrance, levy, seizure or attachment or any material portion of the Collateral; (g) commencement of any proceeding or filing of a petition by or against Borrower or Corporation under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code for liquidation, reorganization or adjustment of debts, or under any insolvency law or other statute or law providing for the modification or adjustment of the rights of creditors; or (h) any event which results in the acceleration of the maturity of the indebtedness of Borrower and Corporation, to others under any indenture, or loan agreement.

13. Whenever a default shall exist, Secured Party may, at its option and without demand or notice, declare all or any part of the Secured Obligations immediately due and payable, and Secured Party may exercise, in addition to the rights and remedies granted hereby, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law.

14. Borrower agrees, in the event of a default, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place or places designated by Secured Party and reasonably convenient to both parties, and to pay all costs of Secured Party, including reasonable attorney's fees, in the collection of any of the Secured obligations and the enforcement of any of the Secured Party's rights. If any notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral is required by law such notification shall be deemed reasonable and properly given if mailed at least ten (10) days before such disposition, postage prepaid, addressed to the Borrower at the address shown herein. Secured Party's duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession shall be deemed fulfilled if Secured Party exercise reasonable care in physically safekeeping such Collateral or, in case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third person, and Secured Party need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. Secured Party shall not be obligated to preserve any rights Borrower may have against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any manner or order, or to apply any cash proceeds of Collateral in any particular order of application.

15. No delay or failure by Secured Party in the exercise of any right or remedy shall constitute a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Secured Party of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

16. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, and its successors and assigns.

17. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of South Dakota.
