7

Section 2.2                                    Delivery of Merger Consideration.

(a)                                 At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to the Exchange Agent a schedule (the “Merger Member Schedule”) setting forth the name, contact information and such other information as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require of each Merger Member and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (not to exceed in the aggregate the Estimated Aggregate Company Merger Shares) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that each Merger Member is entitled to receive as of the Effective Time (which shall take into account the operation of the Merger Member Side Agreement).  Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail (x) to each Merger Member set forth in the Merger Member Schedule and (y) to each holder of record of certificate(s) representing shares of MTR Common Stock who theretofore has not submitted such holder’s Election Form (all such certificates, together with certificate(s) representing shares of MTR Common Stock previously submitted with an Election Form, “Certificates”) that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.10 (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify to the holders of Certificates that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificate(s) shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificate(s) (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificate(s)) to the Exchange Agent in a form to be mutually agreed upon by Company and MTR (the “Letter of Transmittal”), and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering Certificate(s) for shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(d).  In the event that the waivers set forth in Section 5.14 and 5.15 are not obtained, no Election Form shall be required of holders of MTR Common Stock.

(b)                                 Upon surrender by a holder of MTR Common Stock to the Exchange Agent of its Certificate(s), accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal or, to the extent received prior to the Election Deadline, a properly completed Election Form, such holder of MTR Common Stock will be entitled to receive (and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to each such holder) promptly after the Effective Time, subject to Sections 2.8 and 2.9, the MTR Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II in respect of the MTR Common Stock represented by such holder’s Certificate(s).  Until so surrendered, each such Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive, without interest, the MTR Merger Consideration upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with, and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II.

(c)                                  Upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of a properly completed Letter of Transmittal by a Merger Member, such Merger Member will be entitled to receive (and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to each such holder) promptly after the Effective Time, subject to Sections 2.8 and 2.9, the number of Up-Front Company Merger Shares and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock set forth with respect to such Merger Member in the Merger Member Schedule and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II.

8

(d)                                 No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby, in each case unless and until the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificate as provided in Section 2.2(k)) in accordance with this Article II.  Subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the whole shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such Certificate and not paid and/or (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such Certificate with a record date after the Effective Time (but before such surrender date) and with a payment date subsequent to the issuance of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to such Certificate.

(e)                                  After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of MTR or the Company of the MTR Common Stock or Company Membership Interests, respectively, that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares or units are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, such Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock).

(f)                                   No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution of Parent shall relate to such fractional share interests and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of Parent.  Each holder of MTR Common Stock or Company Membership Interests who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall receive in lieu thereof cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all shares of MTR Common Stock or Company Membership Interests owned by such holder at the Company Effective Time or the MTR Effective Time, respectively, to be converted into shares of Parent Common Stock) by the Implied Price Per Share.

(g)                                  Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the former stockholders of MTR or former Merger Members as of the first anniversary of the Effective Time may, at Parent’s option, be paid to Parent (together with any dividends in respect thereof).  In such event, any former holder of MTR Common Stock or Company Membership Interests who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent with respect to the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect of each such share of MTR Common Stock or each Company Membership Interest such former holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon.  The Exchange Agent will notify Parent prior to the time that any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed would have to be delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws and, at Parent’s option, such portion shall be paid to Parent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, MTR, the Company, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of MTR Common Stock or Company

9

Membership Interests for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(h)                                 In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(i)                                     The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis.  Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent upon termination of the Exchange Fund pursuant to Section 2.2(g) and any losses resulting from such investments will be made up by Parent to the extent that such losses cause the total amount of cash in the Exchange Fund to fall below the amount necessary to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration.

(j)                                    Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person who was a holder of MTR Common Stock or Company Membership Interests, as the case may be, immediately prior to the MTR Effective Time or the Company Effective Time, as the case may be, such amounts as Parent and the Exchange Agent may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other provision of applicable federal, state, local or foreign tax Law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent or the Exchange Agent and duly paid over to the applicable taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.

(k)                                 In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by MTR, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock) that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

Section 2.3                                    Election Procedures.

(a)                                 An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials in such form as MTR and the Company shall mutually agree (the “Election Form”) shall be mailed thirty-five (35) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date or on such other date as MTR and the Company shall mutually agree (the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of MTR Common Stock as of the close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to the Mailing Date (the “Election Form Record Date”).

10

(b)                                 Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to specify (A) the number of shares of such holder’s MTR Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration (“Stock Election Shares”), (B) the number of shares of such holder’s MTR Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration (“Cash Election Shares”) or (C) that such holder makes no election with respect to such holder’s MTR Common Stock (“No Election Shares”).  Any MTR Common Stock with respect to which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 30th day following the Mailing Date (or such other time and date as MTR and the Company may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”) shall also be deemed to be No Election Shares.

(c)                                  MTR shall make available one or more Election Forms as may reasonably be requested from time to time by any person who becomes a holder (or beneficial owner) of MTR Common Stock between the Election Form Record Date and the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Election Deadline.

(d)                                 Any such election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline.  An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by one or more MTR Certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such certificates) representing all shares of MTR Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included in the Election Form.  Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting such Election Form only by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline.  In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, unless a subsequent properly completed Election Form is submitted and actually received by the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline, the shares of MTR Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become No Election Shares and MTR shall cause the applicable Certificates to be promptly returned without charge to the person submitting the Election Form upon written request to that effect from the holder who submitted the Election Form.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of MTR or the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive.  None of Parent, MTR or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form.

(e)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the aggregate of the Per Share Cash Consideration to be received pursuant to clause (B) of Section 1.10(a)(ii) shall in no event exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00) (such number of shares, the “Cash Election Shares Limit”).

(f)                                   Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the former holders of MTR Common Stock of rights to receive the MTR Merger Consideration in accordance with the Election Forms as follows:

11

(i)                                               Cash Oversubscribed.  If the total number of the Cash Election Shares is greater than the Cash Election Shares Limit, then:

(A)                               all Stock Election Shares and No Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration;

(B)                               the Exchange Agent shall then select from among the Cash Election Shares, by a pro rata selection process, a sufficient number of shares to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration (“Stock Designated Shares”) such that the aggregate number of shares of MTR Common Stock that will be paid the Per Share Cash Consideration equals the Cash Election Shares Limit, and all Stock Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration; and

(C)                               the Cash Election Shares that are not Stock Designated Shares will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration.

(ii)                                            Cash Not Oversubscribed.  If the total number of the Cash Election Shares is less than or equal to the Cash Election Shares Limit, then:

(A)                               all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration; and

(B)                               all Stock Election Shares and No Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration.

The pro rata selection process to be used by the Exchange Agent shall consist of such equitable pro ration processes as shall be determined by Parent.  For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Section 2.3, MTR Restricted Shares shall be treated as MTR Common Stock.

Section 2.4                                    Adjustments.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2, in the event that MTR changes the number of shares of MTR Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of MTR Common Stock, or the Company changes the number of Company Membership Interests or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Company Membership Interests, issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time, in each case as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, merger, subdivision, exchange, or other similar transaction, the Company Ratio and/or MTR Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted as appropriate.

Section 2.5                                    Uncertificated Shares.  In the case of outstanding shares of MTR Common Stock that are not represented by Certificates, the parties shall make such adjustments to this Article II as are necessary or appropriate to implement the same purpose and effect that this Article II has with respect to Company Membership Interests and MTR Common Stock that are represented by Certificates.

Section 2.6                                    Company Merger Consideration.

(a)                                 Subject to determination and adjustment in accordance with Sections 2.8 and 2.9, respectively, the total consideration (the “Company Merger Consideration”) to be paid

12

to the Merger Members in connection with the Company Merger shall be equal to the following amount:

(i)                                               the product of (x) the Adjusted Company EBITDA for the twelve months ending on the last day of the most recent month preceding the Closing Date by at least twenty (20) days (the “Report Date”) and (y) 6.81, minus

(ii)                                            Closing Company Debt, plus

(iii)                                         Closing Company Cash, minus

(iv)                                        Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital Shortfall (if any), plus

(v)                                           Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital Surplus (if any), plus

(vi)                                        the $5,000,000 of restricted cash on the Company’s balance sheet (if any) relating to the credit support required in connection with the Company’s interest in SLJV, plus

(vii)                                     the SLJV Component (if any), plus

(viii)                                  the MTR Excess Expense Amount (if any).

The total number (the “Aggregate Company Merger Shares”) of shares of Parent Common Stock (after rounding down to the nearest whole share) shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Company Merger Consideration by the Implied Per Share Price.  The “SLJV Component” shall be an amount equal to the following amount:

(A)                               the product of (i) the SLJV-ELLC Percentage and (ii) the difference between the Capital Accounts (as such term is defined in SLJV’s operating agreement) of ELLC and the other Member (as such term is defined in SLJV’s operating agreement), plus

(B)                               the product of (i) the SLJV-ELLC Percentage and (ii) the product of the Adjusted SLJV EBITDA for the twelve months ending on the Report Date multiplied by 6.81, minus

(C)                               the product of the SLJV-ELLC Percentage and the Closing SLJV Debt, plus

(D)                               the product of the SLJV-ELLC Percentage and the Closing SLJV Cash, plus

(E)                                the product of the SLJV-ELLC Percentage and the Closing SLJV Adjusted Net Working Capital Surplus (if any), minus

(F)                                 the product of the SLJV-ELLC Percentage and the Closing SLJV Adjusted Net Working Capital Shortfall (if any), plus

13

(G)                               the face value of the SLJV Partner Notes.

The “MTR Excess Expense Amount” means the aggregate of (I) the lesser of the MTR Transaction Expenses and Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) plus (II) an amount equal to the Excess Regulatory Fee, but only in the event that MTR makes the election contemplated in Section 7.1(c)(iv).  The “SLJV-ELLC Percentage” shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing the ownership interests of SLJV directly held by ELLC as of the Closing Date, after taking into effect any transactions permitted pursuant to Section 5.21(a), by the aggregate ownership interests of SLJV outstanding as of the Closing Date.

(b)                                 A sample calculation of the Merger Consideration and its components, together with the policies, procedures and methodologies (if any) to be used in calculating the Company Merger Consideration and its components, is set forth on Exhibit A (the “Sample Company Merger Consideration Calculation”).  The Company Merger Consideration to be paid at Closing shall be determined in accordance with the Sample Company Merger Consideration Calculation and paid to the Merger Members, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c)                                  Not less than thirteen (13) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or if such date is within thirteen (13) Business Days of the Termination Date, then as soon as reasonably practicable on or prior to the Closing Date), MTR shall prepare and deliver to the Company for its review a report (the “Draft Preliminary MTR Expense Report”) setting forth a schedule with a calculation of an estimate of MTR Excess Expense Amount.  Not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or if such date is within ten (10) Business Days of the Termination Date, then as soon as reasonably practicable on or prior to the Closing Date), the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent for its review a report (the “Draft Preliminary Closing Report”) setting forth each of the following: (i) a statement of an estimate of Adjusted Company EBITDA as of the Report Date (the “Estimated Adjusted Company EBITDA”), (ii) an estimated unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of the Closing Date of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with GAAP on a basis consistent with the Company Audited Financial Statements, (iii) a statement of an estimate of Closing Company Debt (the “Estimated Closing Company Debt”) and of Closing Company Cash (the “Estimated Closing Company Cash”), (iv) a schedule with a calculation of an estimate of Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital”) and any estimated Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital Shortfall or estimated Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital Surplus, as applicable, (v) a schedule with a calculation of the SLJV Component (the “Estimated SLJV Component”), (vi) an estimate of the MTR Excess Expense Amount based on the estimate thereof set forth in the Draft Preliminary MTR Expense Report (the “Estimated MTR Excess Expense Amount”), (vii) a schedule of the calculation, determined in accordance with the Sample Company Merger Consideration Calculation, of the Company Merger Consideration based on such estimates, (viii) the Total Outstanding Company Membership Interests, and (ix) detailed supporting calculations, documentation and data setting forth a reasonably specific and detailed description of its calculations with respect to each of the foregoing.  Parent shall have a reasonable opportunity to discuss the Draft Preliminary Closing Report with the Company and review such report and the underlying books and records of the Company related thereto.  If Parent objects to any amount reflected on the Draft Preliminary Closing Report, Parent and the Company shall in good faith attempt to resolve such objection and agree to such amounts prior to the Closing.  The “Preliminary Closing Report” shall be

14

(x) the Draft Preliminary Closing Report revised to reflect any modifications agreed to by the Company and Parent and, with respect to any item contained in the Draft Preliminary Closing Report that the parties are unable to resolve, shall be deemed, solely for purposes of determining the Preliminary Closing Report, but subject in all respects to adjustments pursuant to Section 2.9, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the sum of (A) the estimate prepared in good faith by the Company contained in the Draft Preliminary Closing Report and (B) Parent’s good faith estimate of such item, by (II) two (2), or (y) if there are no agreed-upon modifications or outstanding disputes, the Draft Preliminary Closing Report shall be the Preliminary Closing Report; provided, however, that the inclusion of, or the failure to include, as applicable, any changes proposed by Parent or the failure by Parent to propose any changes, shall not constitute an acknowledgment by Parent of the accuracy of any item in the Draft Preliminary Closing Report, including but not limited to the Estimated Adjusted Company EBITDA, the Estimated Closing Company Debt, the Estimated Closing Company Cash, the Estimated Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital, the Estimated MTR Excess Expense Amount and the Estimated SLJV Component.  The amount of the Merger Consideration as set forth on the Preliminary Closing Report shall be the “Estimated Company Merger Consideration,” and the number of shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of the Estimated Company Merger Consideration divided by the Implied Per Share Price shall be the “Estimated Aggregate Company Merger Shares.”

(d)                                 At 12:01 A.M.  (Eastern Time) on the Closing Date (or at such other day or time as mutually agreed by the Parties), the Company shall conduct a physical count of all Cage Cash (and any other Cash required to be counted in connection with the Mergers by any Gaming Authority) held by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Company Gaming Properties (the “Cash Count”).  The Cash Count shall be conducted in accordance with the policies, procedures and methodologies set forth on Section 2.6(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter and in this Section 2.6(d).  Each of Parent, the Company and the Member Representative shall be entitled to have Representatives present during the Cash Count, which Representatives shall have full access to the Cash Count proceedings and cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputes regarding the conduct of the Cash Count.  The results of the Cash Count shall, absent manifest error, be binding on the Parties for the purpose of determining the Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital.

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including Section 5.1), the Company shall have the right, exercisable in their sole discretion, to pay all or any portion of the expenses or costs incurred by the Company prior to the Closing on the Closing Date.  Any payments of such expenses or costs pursuant to this Section 2.2(e) shall, if not previously taken into account in determining the Estimated Company Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.6, be taken into account in the adjustment of the Company Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.8.

Section 2.7                                    Intentionally Omitted.

Section 2.8                                    Escrowed Merger Consideration.

(a)                                 On the Effective Time, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent for Parent Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”) to electronically

15

transfer, by crediting the account of the prime broker of the Escrow Agent with The Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the “DWAC System”), such number of shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Escrowed Parent Shares”) equal to the quotient of $2,000,000 divided by the Implied Per Share Price, which shares the Escrow Agent shall deposit in an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established in accordance with an escrow agreement to be entered into among Parent, the Member Representative and the Escrow Agent, consistent with the terms set forth in this Agreement and other customary terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company for similar agreements (the “Escrow Agreement”).  The Escrow Agreement shall terminate no sooner than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the final determination of the Adjusted Company Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.9.  The Escrow Agreement shall provide that Parent is, for federal income tax purposes, the owner of the Escrowed Parent Shares and is taxable on any earnings thereon.  If any payment is required to be made to Parent pursuant to this Section 2.8, Parent and the Member Representative shall promptly provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, to deliver to Parent out of the Escrow Account an amount of Parent Common Stock that in the aggregate is equal in value to such required payment, with each share of Parent Common Stock valued for these purposes at the Implied Per Share Price.

(b)                                 In the event the Estimated Company Merger Consideration is more than the Adjusted Company Merger Consideration following the determination of the Adjusted Company Merger Consideration and subject to Section 2.9(e), Parent is hereby irrevocably authorized to set off against the Escrow Parent Stock, a number of shares (the “Set-Off Shares”) equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares (the “Parent True-Up Shares”) equal to (A) the amount by which the Estimated Company Merger Consideration exceeds the Adjusted Company Merger Consideration divided by (B) the Implied Per Share Price and (ii) the aggregate number of Escrowed Parent Shares.  Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Escrow Agent to cause the Set-Off Shares to be electronically transferred, by crediting the account of the prime broker of the Transfer Agent with DTC through its DWAC System for Parent’s account within five (5) Business Days following such determination.  Any such shares shall be treated as unissued treasury shares of Parent.  To the extent that the number of shares of Escrowed Parent Shares exceeds the Set-Off Shares, Parent shall cause the Escrow Agent to release and deliver to each Merger Member its Pro Rata Portion of such excess number of shares of Parent Common Stock within the same five (5) Business Day period.

(c)                                  In the event that the Escrow Agent or Parent is to distribute any of the Company Merger Consideration (including any of the Aggregate Company Merger Shares) to the Merger Members (including pursuant to Section 2.8(b) or 2.9(h)), then such Company Merger Consideration shall be distributed to the Merger Members in the proportions set forth in the Merger Member Schedule (such Merger Member’s “Pro Rata Portion”).  In the event that the Merger Members are required hereunder to return any Company Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.9(g), each Merger Member shall have the several obligation to return its Pro Rata Portion of such Company Merger Consideration.

16

Section 2.9                                    Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a)                                 Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Member Representative and the Stockholders Representative for their respective review a report (the “Post-Closing Report”), substantially in the form of the Preliminary Closing Report, setting forth each of the following: (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of the Closing Date of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP on a basis consistent with the Company Audited Financial Statements, (ii) a statement with Parent’s calculations, in accordance with the Sample Merger Consideration Calculation, of Adjusted Company EBITDA as of the Report Date, Closing Company Debt, Closing Company Cash, Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital (which shall take into account any payments made in accordance with Section 2.6(e)), the SLJV Component, and the MTR Excess Expense Amount, and (iii) a schedule with Parent’s calculation, determined in accordance with the Sample Company Merger Consideration Calculation, of the Company Merger Consideration and any necessary adjustment to the Estimated Company Merger Consideration, in each case, with supporting calculations, documentation and data setting forth in reasonable detail Parent’s calculations with respect to each of the foregoing.

(b)                                 During the thirty (30) day period following delivery of the Post-Closing Report to the Member Representative and the Stockholders Representative, Parent shall (i) provide, and cause the Company to provide, the Member Representative, the Stockholders Representative and their respective Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the books and records of the Company and MTR and the working papers of Parent, in each case relating to the Post-Closing Report and the matters set forth therein, and (ii) cooperate, and cause the Company and MTR to cooperate, with the Member Representative, the Stockholders Representative and their respective Representatives to provide them with other information used in preparing the Post-Closing Report reasonably requested by the Member Representative and their respective Representatives including, upon reasonable advance notice, access during normal business hours to relevant personnel and records of Parent, MTR and the Company.  The Post-Closing Report shall become final and binding on the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery thereof unless, prior to the end of such period, either the Member Representative or the Stockholders Representative delivers to Parent written notice of its disagreement (each, a “Notice of Disagreement”) specifying, in reasonable detail, the nature and amount of any disputed item (a “Disputed Item”), including supporting calculations, documentation and data to support its position.  The Member Representative, the Stockholders Representative and Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts in the Post-Closing Report not specifically addressed in a Notice of Disagreement, and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review under Section 2.9(d) or Section 2.9(e).

(c)                                  Intentionally Omitted.

(d)                                 During the ten (10) Business Day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by either the Member Representative or the Stockholders Representative to Parent, Parent, Stockholders Representative and the Member Representative shall seek in good faith to resolve any Disputed Items.  During such ten (10) Business Day period, the Member Representative and Parent, on the one hand, and Parent and the Stockholders Representative, on

17

the other hand, shall each provide the other and their respective Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the working papers of Parent and/or the Member Representative, on the one hand, and Parent and/or the Stockholders Representative, on the other hand, and their respective Representatives relating to such Notice of Disagreement and the Disputed Items, and the Member Representative and Parent, on the one hand, and Parent and the Stockholders Representative, on the other hand, shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, cooperate with the other and their respective Representatives to provide them with other information used in preparation of such Notice of Disagreement or relating to any Disputed Item reasonably requested by the Member Representative or the Stockholders Representative, as applicable, Parent or their respective Representatives including, upon reasonable advance notice, access during normal business hours to relevant personnel and records of the Member Representative or Parent, as the case may be.  Any Disputed Items resolved and set forth in a written agreement between the Member Representative and Parent, on the one hand, and Parent and the Stockholders Representative, on the other hand, within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be final and binding on the Parties with respect to such Disputed Items for all purposes hereunder.

(e)                                  If the Member Representative and Parent, on the one hand, and Parent and the Stockholders Representative, on the other hand, have not resolved all Disputed Items by the end of such ten (10) Business Day period, the Member Representative, the Stockholders Representative and Parent (w) shall submit, in writing, such independent public accounting firm as shall be reasonably agreed in writing by the Member Representative, the Stockholders Representative and Parent at such time (the “Independent Accounting Firm”), their respective briefs detailing their respective views as to the correct nature and amount of each remaining Disputed Item and the amounts of Adjusted Company EBITDA as of the Report Date, Closing Company Debt, Closing Company Cash, Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital, the SLJV Component, and the MTR Excess Expense Amount (in each case, if and to the extent disputed); provided, however, that if the Member Representative, the Stockholders Representative and Parent are unable to select such accounting firm within the twenty (20) Business Day period following delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by either the Member Representative or the Stockholders Representative, any of the Member Representative, the Stockholders Representative or the Parent may request the New York, New York office of the American Arbitration Association to appoint, within ten (10) Business Days from the date of such request, an independent public accounting firm of national standing; provided, that such firm shall not be the independent auditor of (or, during the five years prior to the date of such request, otherwise is or has been engaged as consultants by, or who otherwise provide services under a contractual arrangement to) Parent, the Company or MTR (the accounting firm so selected shall be the “Independent Accounting Firm”), (x) shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to make its determination with respect to such remaining Disputed Items in accordance with the Sample Company Merger Consideration Calculation, (y) shall instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to, and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to, render a written decision resolving such remaining Disputed Items within twenty (20) Business Days following such submission, and (z) shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide reasonable cooperation to the Independent Accounting Firm in connection with the resolution of such remaining Disputed Items.  The Independent Accounting Firm shall (i) act in its capacity as an expert and not as an arbitrator,

18

(ii) consider only such remaining Disputed Items, (iii) be authorized to resolve such remaining Disputed Items within the range of the difference between Parent’s position with respect thereto and the Member Representative’s position with respect thereto or the Stockholders Representative’s position with respect thereto, as applicable (meaning, for example, that its final determination of any disputed amount will be within (and not outside of) the upper and lower bounds set forth by Parent and the Member Representative or the Stockholders Representative, as applicable, for such amount, except where the Member Representative and the Stockholders Representative have the same Disputed Item, then the larger upper and lower bounds for such amount shall be used), and (iv) shall issue a written report (the “Accountant’s Report”) setting forth in reasonable detail (A) its determination as to each Disputed Item, (B) its calculation of Adjusted Company EBITDA as of the Report Date, Closing Company Debt, Closing Company Cash, Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital, SLJV Component and MTR Excess Expense Amount based on its determination of such Disputed Items and (C) its calculation of the Company Merger Consideration based thereon, which Accountant’s Report shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Independent Accounting Firm that it reached such determination in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.9(e).  The Accountant’s Report shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder, and the parties acknowledge and agree that judgment may be entered upon the Accountant’s Report in any competent court.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the expenses relating to the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by Parent.  Each party shall bear its own costs (and that of its Representatives) incurred in connection with their preparation or review of the Post-Closing Report and preparation or review of any Notice of Disagreement, as applicable.  In the event that either the Member Representative or the Stockholders Representative becomes obligated to pay out-of-pocket costs related to its performance under this Section 2.9, Parent shall pay such expense and documented out-of-pocket costs, and the Adjusted Company Merger Consideration shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 2.9(i).  The Escrow Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days following such determination, cause such number of shares to be electronically transferred, by crediting the account of the prime broker of the Transfer Agent with DTC through its DWAC System for Parent’s account.  Any such shares will be treated as unissued treasury shares of Parent.

(f)                                   The Estimated Company Merger Consideration shall be adjusted (the Estimated Company Merger Consideration as so adjusted, the “Adjusted Company Merger Consideration”):

(i)                                               downwards by the amount (if any) by which Closing Company Debt, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is greater than Estimated Closing Company Debt;

(ii)                                            upwards by the amount (if any) by which Closing Company Debt, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is less than Estimated Closing Company Debt;

(iii)                                         downwards by the amount (if any) by which Closing Company Cash, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is less than Estimated Closing Company Cash;

19

(iv)                                        upwards by the amount (if any) by which Closing Company Cash, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is greater than Estimated Closing Company Cash;

(v)                                           downwards by the amount (if any) by which Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is less than Estimated Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital;

(vi)                                         upwards by the amount (if any) by which Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is greater than Estimated Closing Adjusted Net Working Capital;

(vii)                                     upwards by the amount (if any) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) 6.81 by (y) the amount by which the Adjusted Company EBITDA as of the Report Date, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is greater than the Adjusted Company EBITDA as of the Report Date, as set forth on the Preliminary Closing Report;

(viii)                                  downwards by the amount (if any) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) 6.81 by (y) the amount by which the Adjusted Company EBITDA as of the Report Date, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is less than the Adjusted Company EBITDA as of the Report Date, as set forth on the Preliminary Closing Report;

(ix)                                        downwards by the amount (if any) by which the SLJV Component, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is less than the Estimated SLJV Component; and

(x)                                           upwards by the amount (if any) by which the SLJV Component, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is greater than the Estimated SLJV Component.

(xi)                                        downwards by the amount (if any) by which the MTR Excess Expense Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is less than the Estimated MTR Excess Expense Amount; and

(xii)                                     upwards by the amount (if any) by which the MTR Excess Expense Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.9, is greater than the MTR Excess Expense Amount.

(g)                                  If the Adjusted Company Merger Consideration is less than the Estimated Company Merger Consideration, then (x) Parent shall have the right to set-off against the Set-Off Shares, and (y) any remaining balance of the Escrowed Parent Shares after such set-off shall be distributed to the Merger Members, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.8(b).  If the number of Parent True-Up Shares exceeds the Set-Off Shares (such excess, the “Company Escrowed Shortfall”), then within five (5) Business Days following such determination, Parent shall mail to each Merger Member a statement (the “Parent Shortfall Notice”) setting forth (i) the number of shares of the Company Escrowed Shortfall, (ii) such Merger Member’s Pro Rata Portion of the Company Escrowed Shortfall (as determined in accordance with Section 2.8(c)), and (iii) the delivery instructions pursuant to which the Merger Members shall return their

20

respective Pro Rata Portion of the Company Escrowed Shortfall to the Transfer Agent within five (5) Business Days following the mailing date of Parent Shortfall Notice in accordance with their respective Merger Member Undertaking.

(h)                                 If the Adjusted Company Merger Consideration equals or exceeds the Estimated Company Merger Consideration (the amount of shares equal to the amount of such excess (if any) divided by the Implied Per Share Price, the “Company True-Up Shares”), then Parent shall cause the Escrow Agent, in accordance with Section 2.8, to distribute to each Merger Member its Pro Rata Portion of all of the Escrowed Parent Shares.  If the number of Company True-Up Shares is greater than zero, within five (5) Business Days following such determination, Parent shall issue to each Merger Member its Pro Rata Portion (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Company True-Up Shares.

(i)                                     In the event that Parent pays any costs of the Member Representative in accordance with Section 2.9(e), Parent shall set-off such number of shares of Parent Common Stock held in the Escrow Account, in an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the amount of such costs by the Implied Per Share Price and reduce the Adjusted Company Merger Consideration by the same amount.  In the event that Parent pays any costs of the Stockholder Representative in accordance with Section 2.9(e) or the monthly retainer of the Stockholder Representative in accordance with Section 8.18(c), Parent shall increase the MTR Transaction Expenses by the amount of such costs or such retainer (as the case may be) for purposes of determining the Adjusted Company Merger Consideration.

43

periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all respects the consolidated financial position of MTR and its Subsidiaries at the respective dates thereof and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements of MTR (including any related notes thereto) included in MTR’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC since December 31, 2012 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or may be permitted by the SEC under the Exchange Act) and fairly present in all respects the consolidated financial position of MTR and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods indicated (subject to normal period-end adjustments).

(c)                                  MTR maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e), and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that material information relating to MTR, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of MTR by others within those entities and that all material information required to be disclosed by MTR in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.

44

a majority of the outstanding shares of MTR Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, in person or by proxy, at the MTR Stockholders Meeting (the “MTR Stockholder Approval”).  No other vote or consent of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of MTR is necessary to approve this Agreement or the MTR Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.  The vote or consent of MTR as the sole stockholder of Parent and Merger Sub A and the sole member of Merger Sub B (each of which shall have occurred prior to the Effective Time) are the only votes or consents of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the other MTR Entities necessary to approve this Agreement and the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.9                                    Brokers.  No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person, other than Macquarie Capital, is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the MTR Entities.  MTR has provided to the Company a complete and correct copy of all contracts between MTR and Macquarie Capital pursuant to which Macquarie Capital would be entitled to any payment relating to the Mergers or other transactions contemplated herein or otherwise.

Section 4.12                             Compliance with Gaming Laws.

(d)                                 The machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures and other tangible personal property and assets owned, leased, or used by MTR or any of its Subsidiaries are (i) to the knowledge of MTR, in good operating condition, subject to normal wear and tear, (ii) are reasonably fit and usable for the purposes for which they are being used, and (iii) comply in all

Section 4.22                             State Takeover Statutes.  None of the requirements or restrictions of any Takeover Laws enacted in any state in the United States applies to this Agreement or to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Mergers.

57

Section 4.23                             No Undisclosed Liabilities.  Neither MTR nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise, whether or not required by GAAP to be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet of MTR and its Subsidiaries, except for liabilities and obligations (a) reflected or reserved against in MTR’s consolidated balance sheet on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC (b) incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of such balance sheet, (c) which have been discharged or paid in full prior to the date of this Agreement or (d) incurred pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Since January 1, 2013, neither MTR nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), and other relationships with other Persons, that may have a current or future effect on financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenues or expenses of MTR and its Subsidiaries.

Section 4.24                             Absence of Certain Changes or Events.  Since January 1, 2013 through the date of this Agreement, except as otherwise contemplated or permitted by this Agreement, the businesses of MTR and its Subsidiaries have been conducted in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and there has not been any event, development or state of circumstances that, individually or in the aggregate, has had a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.25                             Full Disclosure.  No representation or warranty by the MTR Entities in this Agreement and no statement contained in the MTR Disclosure Letter delivered by MTR prior to the execution of this Agreement or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to the Company pursuant to this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

65

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.4(a), at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the MTR Stockholder Approval, MTR may, in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 5.4(a) and that the MTR Board determines, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and subject to complying with Section 5.4(d), (i) furnish information with respect to MTR and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement on terms no less restrictive to such Person than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (except for such changes specifically necessary in order for MTR to be able to comply with its obligations under this Agreement); provided, however, that MTR shall provide or make available to the Company any material non-public information concerning MTR or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or its Representatives which was not previously provided or made available to the Company; and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, further, that the MTR Board or any committee thereof may take the actions described in subsections (i) and (ii) above only if the MTR Board or any committee thereof determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c)                                  Except as set forth in this Section 5.4(c), until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, neither the MTR Board nor any committee thereof shall:  (i) (A) fail to make or withdraw, modify or amend or publicly propose to withdraw, modify or amend, in any manner adverse to the Company or Merger Sub, its recommendation of this Agreement or the MTR Merger (the “MTR Board Recommendation”), (B) fail to make a statement in opposition and recommend to MTR’s stockholders rejection of a tender or exchange offer for MTR’s securities initiated by a third party pursuant to Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Securities Act within ten Business Days after such tender or exchange offer shall have been announced or commenced by such third party, or (C) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing in clauses (A)-(C), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt or recommend, or allow MTR or any MTR Subsidiary to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar Contract constituting or related to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.4(b)) (any of the foregoing, an “Acquisition Agreement”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the MTR Stockholder Approval, the MTR Board may:

(I)                                         in response to a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that was made after the date hereof, that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.4, and that the MTR Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) constitutes a Superior Proposal (x) make an Adverse Recommendation Change if the MTR Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that, in light of the receipt of such Superior Proposal, the failure to make such Adverse

66

Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or (y) cause MTR to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) and (only if MTR shall) concurrently with such termination enter into an Acquisition Agreement if the MTR Board has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that, in light of the receipt of such Superior Proposal, the failure to effect such termination would reasonably be expected to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that MTR shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (y), and any purported termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless, prior to or simultaneously with such termination, MTR pays by wire transfer of immediately available funds the MTR Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.3(b); provided, further, that the MTR Board shall not be entitled to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in respect of any such Superior Proposal or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) in respect of any such Superior Proposal, and any purported termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless:

(II)                                   MTR has provided to the Company four Business Days’ prior written notice that it intends to take a such action (a “Notice of Designated Superior Proposal”), which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal (including the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal) that is the basis of the proposed action by the MTR Board (a “Designated Superior Proposal”) and attach the most current form or draft of any written agreement providing for the transaction contemplated by such Designated Superior Proposal and all other contemplated transaction documents (including any agreements with any stockholders, directors or employees) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Designated Superior Proposal, and a new four Business Day period); and

(III)                               at the end of such four Business Day period, such Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn and the MTR Board determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement agreed to or proposed by the Company in a binding written offer in response to a Notice of Designated Superior Proposal which is capable of being accepted by MTR).

(d)                                 MTR promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) shall advise the Company orally and in writing of (i) any written Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any written request for non-public information relating to MTR or its Subsidiaries, other than requests for information not reasonably expected to be related to an Acquisition Proposal and (iii) any written inquiry or request for discussion or negotiation regarding an Acquisition Proposal, including in each case the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request and the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request and attach a copy of any such written Acquisition Proposal, or if such Acquisition Proposal is provided orally to MTR, MTR shall summarize in writing the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, including the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal.  MTR shall keep the Company reasonably and promptly informed in all material respects of the status and details (including any material change or proposed material change to the terms thereof) of any Acquisition Proposal.  MTR shall provide the Company with prior notice of any meeting of the

67

MTR Board or any committee thereof at which the MTR Board or any committee thereof is expected to consider any Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry or to consider providing information to any person or group in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry.

(e)                                  Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prevent MTR or the MTR Board from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer), or (ii) from making any required disclosure to MTR’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the MTR Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel, failure to disclose such information would reasonably be expected to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii), any such disclosure, other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, may still be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.4(c) unless the MTR Board expressly publicly reaffirms the MTR Board Recommendation in such disclosure.

Section 5.5                                    Preparation of Proxy Statement and Registration Statement; MTR Stockholders Meeting.

(a)                                 As promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days, following the date of this Agreement, MTR shall, with the assistance of the Company, cause Parent to prepare the Registration Statement (in which the Proxy Statement will be included) and file the Registration Statement with the SEC.  MTR Entities and the Company will cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Registration Statement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Company and Member Representative will furnish to Parent in writing the information relating to it required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Registration Statement.  Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve all SEC comments with respect to the Registration Statement as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof.  The Company, and each MTR Entity will promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement, if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect prior to the MTR Stockholders Meeting.  Parent and MTR shall cause the Registration Statement, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to its stockholders, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws.  The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement before it is filed with the SEC, and MTR shall give good faith and reasonable consideration to any comments made by the Company or its counsel.  MTR shall promptly notify and provide to the Company and its counsel any comments MTR or its counsel receives from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Registration Statement or for additional information.

(b)                                 As promptly as reasonably practicable and, in any event, no later than forty (40) days following the effective time of the Registration Statement (the “SEC Effectiveness Date”), MTR, acting through the MTR Board, shall (i) take all action necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of

68

obtaining the MTR Stockholder Approval (the “MTR Stockholders Meeting”) and (ii) except to the extent that the MTR Board shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.4(c), include in the Proxy Statement a statement to the effect that the MTR Board (A) has unanimously determined that the MTR Merger and this Agreement are advisable and (B) unanimously recommends that the MTR’s stockholders vote to adopt this Agreement at the MTR Stockholders Meeting; provided, however, that the MTR shall be permitted to delay, postpone or cancel the MTR Stockholders Meeting (but not beyond the Termination Date) if in the good faith judgment of the MTR Board or any committee thereof (after consultation with its legal counsel) the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to breach the MTR Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 5.6                                    Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a)                                 From the date hereof to the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement, upon reasonable prior written notice, the Company shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries, officers, directors and Representatives to, afford to MTR reasonable access during normal business hours, consistent with applicable Law, to its officers, key management employees, properties, offices, other facilities and books and records, and shall promptly furnish MTR with all financial, operating and other data and information as MTR shall reasonably request in writing (it being agreed, however, that the foregoing shall not permit MTR or its officers, employees or representatives to conduct any environmental testing or sampling or other invasive testing).  The Company shall furnish to MTR and its Representatives such available financial and operating data, including any Company Unaudited Financial Statements, as MTR may reasonably request.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such investigation or consultation shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or otherwise result in any significant interference with the prompt and timely discharge by the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries of their normal duties.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would (i) breach any agreement with any third party, (ii) constitute a waiver of or jeopardize the attorney-client or other privilege held by the Company or (iii) otherwise violate any applicable Law, including Gaming Laws.

(b)                                 MTR and each of its Subsidiaries will hold and treat and will cause its Representatives to hold and treat in confidence all documents and information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished to MTR, its Subsidiaries and/or their respective Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any and all information or documents furnished in accordance with the confidentiality letter agreement, dated October 22, 2012, as amended January 10, 2013, between MTR and Eldorado Resorts, LLC (the “Confidentiality Agreement”)), which Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(c)                                  From the date hereof to the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement, upon reasonable prior written notice, MTR shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries, officers, directors and Representatives to, afford to the Company reasonable access during normal business hours, consistent with applicable Law, to its officers, key management employees, properties, offices, other facilities and books and records,

and shall promptly furnish the Company with all financial, operating and other data and information as the Company shall reasonably request in writing (it being agreed, however, that the foregoing shall not permit the Company or its officers, employees or representatives to conduct any environmental testing or sampling or other invasive testing).  MTR shall furnish to the Company and its Representatives such available financial and operating data as the Company may reasonably request.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such investigation or consultation shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of MTR or its Subsidiaries or otherwise result in any significant interference with the prompt and timely discharge by the employees of MTR or its Subsidiaries of their normal duties.  Neither MTR nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would (i) breach any agreement with any third party, (ii) constitute a waiver of or jeopardize the attorney-client or other privilege held by MTR or (iii) otherwise violate any applicable Law, including Gaming Laws.

(d)                                 The Company and each of its Subsidiaries will hold and treat and will cause its Representatives to hold and treat in confidence all documents and information concerning MTR and its Subsidiaries furnished to the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or their respective Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any and all information or documents furnished in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement), which Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b)                                 In furtherance and not in limitation of the provisions of Section 5.7(a), each of the parties, as applicable, agrees to prepare and file as promptly as practicable, and in any event by no later than fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of this Agreement, an appropriate Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act.  Each of the Company and MTR shall

70

pay all of its own filing fees and other charges for the filings required under the HSR Act with respect to it and its Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, 50% of any filing fee or other charges required under the HSR Act with respect to MTR and its Subsidiaries will be included in the MTR Transaction Expenses.

(iv)                                        consulting and cooperating with one another in connection with all analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the Antitrust Laws or applicable Gaming Laws; and

(v)                                           without prejudice to any rights of the parties hereunder, consulting and cooperating in all respects with the other in defending all lawsuits and other proceedings by or before any Governmental Entity challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g)                                  No actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be considered for purposes of determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

(h)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, commercially, competitively and/or personal sensitive information and materials of a party will be provided to the other party on an outside counsel-only basis, provided that the parties shall cooperate to enable appropriate communications to be made available to the other party with respect to such commercially or competitively sensitive information redacted if necessary.

(b)                                 If mutually agreed by MTR and the Company, each of MTR and/or the Company, as necessary, shall one (1) Business Day prior to the Effective Time, adopt resolutions

72

Section 5.10                             Notification of Certain Matters.  The Company and MTR shall promptly notify each other of (a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby, if the subject matter of such communication could be material to the Company or the MTR Entities, (b) any Action commenced or, to such party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby or (c) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would cause or result in any of the conditions to the Mergers set forth in Article VI not being satisfied or satisfaction of those conditions being materially delayed in violation of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall not (i) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (ii) limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice; provided further, that failure to give prompt notice pursuant to clause (c) shall not constitute a failure of a condition to the Mergers set forth in Article VI except to the extent that the underlying fact or circumstance not so notified would standing alone constitute such a failure.  The parties agree and acknowledge that, except with respect to clause (c) of the first sentence of this Section 5.10, the Company’s compliance or failure of compliance with this Section 5.10 shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the condition referred to in Section 6.3(b) shall has been satisfied.

Section 5.11                             Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a)                                 Without limiting any additional rights that any employee may have under any agreement or Company Plan, from the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent shall, or shall cause each of MTR and the Company to, indemnify and hold harmless each present (as of the Effective Time) and former officer, director, manager or employee of MTR and its Subsidiaries and each present (as of the Effective Time) and former officer, director, manager or employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Member Representative and the Stockholders Representative (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), as applicable against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”), incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to (i) the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, manager, employee, fiduciary or agent of MTR, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (ii) matters existing or occurring at or

74

prior to the Effective Time (including this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and applicable MTR’s certificate of incorporation, MTR’s bylaws, the Company Charter and Company Operating Agreement each as at the date hereof (collectively, the “Constituent Documents”).  In the event of any such Action, (A) each Indemnified Party shall be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any Action from Parent or MTR or the Company, as applicable, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and the applicable Constituent Documents, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by Parent or MTR or the Company, as applicable, from the Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided, that any Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an unsecured undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification, (B) none of Parent, MTR or the Company shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim (and in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents, and (C) MTR and the Company, as applicable, shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter.  Parent and MTR, or the Company, as applicable, shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligation to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Parties.

(b)                                 Except as may be required by applicable Law, Parent, MTR and the Company agree that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of MTR, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries or in any indemnification agreement (or form thereof) identified in Section 5.11(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter and Section 5.11(b) of the MTR Disclosure Letter, as applicable, and in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time between such Indemnified Party and MTR, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall survive the Mergers and continue in full force and effect, and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party.

(c)                                  For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall either cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by MTR, the Company and their Subsidiaries, as applicable, or cause to be provided substitute policies or purchase or cause MTR or the Company to purchase a “tail policy,” in either case of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous in the aggregate to the Indemnified Parties than such policy with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies in respect of any one policy year annual premiums in excess of 200% of the last annual premium paid by MTR or the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount.  All such policies, including any substitute policies, shall be issued by carriers rated A, XII or higher by A.M. Best Company.  At

75

either MTR’s or the Company’s option, each may purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six-year prepaid, non-revocable and non-cancellable tail policy on terms and conditions (in both amount and scope) providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by its and their respective Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby.  If such prepaid tail policy has been obtained by MTR or the Company prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by MTR or the Company, as applicable.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Action (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is instituted against any Indemnified Party on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such Action.

(e)                                  The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise.  The provisions of this Section 5.11 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may be to the contrary, expressly are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives.

(f)                                   In the event that the Company or Parent or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.11.

Section 5.12                             Public Announcements.  Each MTR Entity, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, consult with each other before issuing, and give each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any public announcement without the prior consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange.  MTR and the Company agree that the press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint release of MTR and the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the MTR Entities and the Company may make public statements in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences so long as such statements are substantially consistent with press releases, public disclosures or public statements previously issued or made by MTR or the Company, as applicable.

Section 5.13                             Obligations of Merger Subs and Parent.  MTR shall take all action necessary to cause the MTR Entities to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.

76

Section 5.14                             Consent Solicitation.

(a)                                 MTR shall promptly at a time reasonably requested by the Company, commence, or cause its Subsidiaries to promptly commence, one or more consent solicitations (each, a “MTR Consent Solicitation”), with respect to certain amendments and waivers to the indenture (the “MTR Senior Indenture”) dated as of August 1, 2011 among MTR, those designated Subsidiaries identified therein and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and Collateral Agent governing MTR’s 11.5% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due August 1, 2019 (the “MTR Notes”) on terms and conditions as may be agreed upon between the Company and MTR, and such other customary terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to the Company and MTR, and the Company shall assist MTR in connection therewith.  If the Company requests that MTR proceed with any MTR Consent Solicitation, MTR shall irrevocably take all corporate actions necessary for the MTR Consent Solicitation.  Promptly following the expiration date of the MTR Consent Solicitation, assuming the requisite consents are received with respect to the MTR Notes, MTR and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall execute a supplement to the MTR Senior Indenture, amending the terms and provisions of the MTR Senior Indenture as reasonably requested by the Company and as set forth in the MTR Consent Solicitation documents sent to holders of the MTR Notes (which amendment may include amendments and waivers to certain covenants contained in the MTR Notes or the MTR Senior Indenture which can be eliminated upon the favorable vote of the holders of a majority of the principal amount thereof), which supplemental indenture shall become operative immediately upon the Effective Time, and shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the trustee under the MTR Senior Indenture to enter into such supplemental indenture prior to or substantially simultaneously with the Closing.  The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, provide all cooperation reasonably requested by MTR in connection with any MTR Consent Solicitation.  MTR hereby covenants and agrees to provide (or to cause to be provided) when due and payable pursuant to the terms of any MTR Consent Solicitation immediately available funds for the prompt and full payment at or prior to the Effective Time of any consent solicitation fees payable to the holders of the MTR Notes for all consents properly tendered and not withdrawn to the extent required pursuant to the terms of such MTR Consent Solicitation.

(b)                                 Promptly after the date of this Agreement, MTR, at its own expense, shall prepare all necessary and appropriate documentation in connection with any MTR Consent Solicitation, including the consent solicitation statement, related letters of transmittal and other related documents (collectively, the “MTR Consent Solicitation Statement”).  MTR and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries, agents and representatives to, reasonably cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Consent Solicitation Statement for each MTR Consent Solicitation.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the respective agents and representatives (including accountants, attorneys and other advisors) of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, provide MTR with such financial and other information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, undertake reasonable efforts to obtain customary accountants’ comfort letters, if applicable, legal opinions, and other documentation and items relating to the MTR Consent Solicitation and execute such documents and take such other actions, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by MTR to carry out the MTR Consent Solicitation as contemplated hereunder.  Each MTR Consent Solicitation Statement (including all amendments or supplements thereto) and all

77

mailings to the holders of the MTR Notes in connection with such MTR Consent Solicitation shall be subject to the prior review of, and comment by, the Company and MTR and shall be reasonably acceptable in form and substance to each of them.  If at any time prior to the completion of any MTR Consent Solicitation any information in the MTR Consent Solicitation Statement should be discovered by the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or MTR, on the other, which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the MTR Consent Solicitation Statement, so that the MTR Consent Solicitation Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be disseminated by or on behalf of MTR to the holders of the Notes.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.14, MTR shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, if applicable, and any other Laws applicable in connection with any MTR Consent Solicitation.  In connection with any MTR Consent Solicitation, MTR may select one or more solicitation agents or, if applicable, dealer managers, information agents, and other agents to provide assistance in connection therewith and MTR shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, enter into customary agreements (including indemnities) with such parties so selected and on terms and conditions acceptable to MTR.

(c)                                  If none of the MTR Consent Solicitations undertaken pursuant to Section 5.14 is successful (or if MTR and the Company agree that MTR not proceed with any MTR Consent Solicitation pursuant to Section 5.14), then MTR shall, in accordance with the terms of the MTR Senior Indenture, (i) no later than thirty (30) days, but no earlier than sixty (60) days, prior to the Effective Time, mail a notice to the trustee under the MTR Senior Indenture and each holder of the MTR Notes offering to repurchase MTR Notes pursuant to the change of control provisions of the MTR Senior Indenture and (ii) take any other actions reasonably requested by the Company to otherwise comply with the change of control provisions of the Indenture and to facilitate the satisfaction and discharge of any MTR Notes tendered as part of the change of control offer to repurchase pursuant to the satisfaction and discharge provisions of the MTR Senior Indenture and the other provisions of the MTR Senior Indenture applicable thereto.  Such change of control offer shall be made conditioned upon the closing of the Mergers, and the closing of the change of control offer shall occur, if at all, on the same day as the Closing Date, or if requested by MTR on such later date, and such change in control offer otherwise shall comply with the terms of the MTR Senior Indenture.  The redemption and satisfaction and discharge of the MTR Notes pursuant to the preceding sentences are referred to collectively as the “Discharge” of the MTR Notes.  The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, provide all cooperation reasonably requested by MTR in connection with the Discharge of the MTR Notes.

(d)                                 MTR shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives (other than any direct indemnification of any solicitation agent or dealer manager, which shall be indemnified under the applicable solicitation agent or dealer manager agreement; provided, however, that MTR shall indemnify the Company and its Subsidiaries from and against any and all liabilities incurred by them in connection with any solicitation agent or dealer manager agreement) for any liabilities incurred by any of them in

78

connection with any action taken by them pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Consent Solicitation; provided, however, that MTR shall not have any obligation to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless any such party or person to the extent it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such damages suffered or incurred are attributable to information provided by the Company that contained a material misstatement or omission.

(e)                                  MTR shall be deemed to have satisfied each of its obligations set forth in clauses (a) through (c) of this Section 5.14 if MTR shall have used its reasonable best efforts to comply with such obligations, regardless of the actual outcome of any Consent Solicitation.

Section 5.15                             Further Assurances Regarding Existing Credit Agreement.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, any necessary amendments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and MTR, to the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility dated as of June 1, 2011 with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other banks or financial institutions identified as lenders therein (such credit facility, as amended from time to time, will be referred to collectively as the “Existing Credit Agreement”), so that no Default or Event of Default (each as defined therein) will exist (or otherwise give the lenders thereunder any right to accelerate payment of the loans thereunder pursuant to Section 8.02(b) thereunder) after giving effect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that any amendment or waiver of any other provision of the Existing Credit Agreement shall require the prior written consent of MTR.

Section 5.16                             Tamarack Crossing, LLC.  Promptly after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, at its own expense, dispose of, or sell or assign to a third party, any and all interests, directly or indirectly, in Tamarack Crossing, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Tamarack”).  Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 5.1(b), the Company may distribute the proceeds from the disposition of the interests in Tamarack to its members.

Section 5.17                             Non-Compete.  Prior to the Effective Time, each of the Merger Members, the officers and certain senior managers (as mutually agreed upon by the Company and MTR, the “Designated Officer”), shall enter into non-competition agreements with Parent (each a “Non-Compete Agreement”) that will become effective as of the Effective Time and that will include the following terms:

(a)                                 if such Merger Member beneficially owns less than 5% of the total outstanding Parent Common Stock at any time (calculated on a fully diluted basis), such Merger Member shall not be restricted under the terms of the Non-Compete Agreement (except, if applicable, any remaining tail period described in clause (c) below);

(b)                                 if such Merger Member beneficially owns 5% or more of the total outstanding Parent Common Stock at any time (calculated on a fully diluted basis), such Merger Member may pursue corporate opportunities subject a right of first offer in favor of Parent;

(c)                                  if such Merger Member beneficially owns 15% or more of the total outstanding Parent Common Stock at any time (calculated on a fully diluted basis), such Merger Member’s activities will be subject to customary non-competition restrictions in favor of Parent

79

until the first anniversary of the later of (i) such Merger Member’s separation of service from Parent and/or its Subsidiaries and (ii) such Merger Member ceasing to beneficially own 15% or more of the total outstanding Parent Common Stock at any time (calculated on a fully diluted basis);

(d)                                 the restrictions described in clauses (b) and (c) above shall not apply with respect to any activities related to (i) Michael Pegram or his Affiliates (so long as such activities are consistent with passive investment activities) and (ii) Tamarack; and

(e)                                  The Designated Officers shall be subject to Non-Compete Agreements (which may be part of any such Designated Officer’s employment agreement) which shall include a “right of first offer” and “non-competition restrictions” similar to those contemplated by clauses (b) and (c) above until such person’s separation of service from Parent and/or its Subsidiaries.
