Section 1.4    Purchase Price Adjustments.

4

(a)    Not more than seven (7) Business Days nor less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a statement showing the Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Estimated Working Capital, including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail calculated using the same methodology as the calculation set forth on Schedule 1.4.

(b)    Prior to the Closing on the Closing Date (at such time as mutually agreed by Buyer and the Sellers or as otherwise dictated by applicable Gaming Authorities), the Sellers shall conduct a cash count and the drop of each Company’s gaming device “hoppers” as well as a count of each Company’s liability for all outstanding chips, tokens, tickets and similar cash equivalents (“Seller’s Chips”). A Representative of Buyer may, subject to applicable Gaming Laws, be present to observe such cash count, hopper drop count, and Seller’s Chips liability count if it so elects. Such cash count, hopper drop, and Seller’s Chips count shall be conclusive and binding upon the Sellers and Buyer, absent manifest error, and shall be used in the preparation of Closing Working Capital that is contained in the Post-Closing Statement (it being understood that the aggregate value of all outstanding Seller’s Chips will constitute a current liability of such Company in connection with the calculation of Closing Working Capital). Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, each Seller shall provide Buyer a list of all outstanding such Seller’s Chips in sufficient detail for Buyer to determine the type, number, and denomination of each of Seller’s Chips.

(c)    Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare (or cause to be prepared) and deliver to the Sellers a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) showing Buyer’s calculation of Closing Working Capital, including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail calculated using the same methodology as the calculation set forth on Schedule 1.4. The parties acknowledge that the purpose of preparing the Post-Closing Statement and determining the Closing Working Capital and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 1.4 is to measure changes in the Adjusted Working Capital, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies for the purpose of preparing the Post-Closing Statement or determining Adjusted Working Capital. Buyer shall promptly provide to the Sellers such backup or supporting data relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital reflected thereon as the Sellers may request. Buyer shall also provide the Sellers and their Representatives with such reasonable access to the books, records and personnel of each Purchased Company, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, as the Sellers may request for the purposes of evaluating the Post-Closing Statement and Buyer’s calculation of Closing Working Capital.

(d)    The Sellers shall, within the forty-five (45) day period (the “Acceptance Period”) following receipt of such Post-Closing Statement, notify Buyer of its acceptance or non-acceptance (as the case may be) of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital reflected thereon; provided, however, that in the event that any backup or supporting data has been requested by the Sellers in accordance with Section 1.4(c) but not provided to the Sellers by the end of the Acceptance Period, then the Acceptance Period shall automatically be extended until the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the date such backup or supporting data is received by the Sellers. If no such notice is delivered to Buyer by the Sellers within the Acceptance Period, the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing

5

Working Capital reflected thereon shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Sellers and shall be binding thereon for all purposes of this Agreement. If the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital reflected thereon are accepted or deemed to have been accepted by the Sellers, then payment of any related amounts, as contemplated by this Section 1.4(d), shall be made pursuant to Section 1.4(f). If the Sellers give notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer within the Acceptance Period that the Sellers do not agree with or otherwise do not accept the calculation of Closing Working Capital reflected on the Post-Closing Statement, the Sellers shall describe in such Dispute Notice the nature of any disagreement so asserted. Buyer and the Sellers shall endeavor in good faith to resolve all such disagreements within the thirty (30) day period (the “Negotiating Period”) following the delivery by the Sellers of such Dispute Notice.

(e)    If Buyer and the Sellers are unable to resolve any disagreements regarding the Post-Closing Statement and the calculations reflected thereon within the Negotiating Period, then all such disputes shall be promptly referred to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm as is mutually acceptable to Buyer and the Sellers (the “Neutral Accounting Firm”). The Neutral Accounting Firm shall be instructed only to resolve all outstanding disagreements relating to the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital reflected thereon, and shall be instructed not to otherwise investigate such matters independently or introduce different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies in connection therewith. The Neutral Accounting Firm shall investigate only those items that are in dispute and shall not assign a value to any item that is (A) greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either of Buyer or the Sellers or (B) lower than the lowest value for such item claimed by either of Buyer or the Sellers. The Neutral Accounting Firm’s determination shall be based only upon written submissions by Buyer and the Sellers, and not upon an independent review by the Neutral Accounting Firm. The parties shall instruct the Neutral Accounting Firm, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, to render its determination within thirty (30) Business Days of the referral of such matter thereto, and the determination of the Neutral Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon Buyer and the Sellers for all purposes of this Agreement. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Neutral Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. Neither Buyer nor the Sellers shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Neutral Accounting Firm without the prior consent of Buyer (in the case of the Sellers) or the Sellers (in the case of Buyer). The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accounting Firm shall be borne one-half by Buyer, on the one hand, and one-half by the Sellers, on the other hand. The fees and expenses of the Sellers and their respective Representatives incurred in connection with the Post-Closing Statement and any Dispute Notice shall be borne by the Sellers, and the fees and expenses of Buyer and its Representatives in connection with the Post-Closing Statement and any Dispute Notice shall be borne by Buyer.

(f)    No more than five (5) Business Days following the final determination of Closing Working Capital, (A) if the finally determined Closing Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital (such amount, the “Actual Surplus”), then Buyer shall pay to the Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated by the Sellers to Buyer in writing, an amount equal to such Actual Surplus, or (B) if the finally determined Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital (such amount, the “Actual Deficiency”), then the Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such Actual Deficiency by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated by Buyer to the Sellers in writing.

6

(g)    For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that PropCo shall not be obligated to pay any amount or be subject to any liability to Sellers, Buyer or any other Person with respect to the calculation of Closing Working Capital as set forth in this Section 1.4 or for any amounts to be paid to Buyer or Sellers as the Actual Surplus or Actual Deficiency pursuant to Section 1.4(f).

Section 1.5    Allocation of Purchase Price. Within ninety (90) days following the final determination of Closing Working Capital, Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers a schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price among the assets of the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries (including any Liabilities of the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries properly taken into account as part of the Purchase Price for U.S. federal income tax purposes) after giving effect to the Real Estate Purchase (the “Proposed Allocation”). The Allocation Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and the allocation of the Base Purchase Price among the Company Interests as set forth in Schedule I attached hereto. The Sellers shall accept and agree to the Proposed Allocation unless any one or more of the Sellers, acting in good faith, object to the Allocation Schedule, in which case such Seller or Sellers (as the case may be) shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Allocation Schedule, deliver written notice to Buyer of such objection. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the items in the Allocation Schedule to which the Sellers object and the basis for such objection. If within such fifteen (15)-day period the Sellers so notify Buyer, the Sellers and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed matters. If the Sellers and Buyer are able to resolve the disputed matters within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Sellers’ notice of objection, the Sellers and Buyer shall revise the Allocation Schedule to reflect such resolution, and the revised Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding upon the parties to this Agreement. Buyer and the Sellers agree to (a) be bound by any final and binding Allocation Schedule established in accordance with this Section 1.5 (the “Final Allocation Schedule”), (b) act in accordance with the Final Allocation Schedule in the filing of all Tax Returns and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax examination or Tax litigation relating thereto, and (c) take no position and cause their Affiliates to take no position inconsistent with the Final Allocation Schedule for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by a change in Law or pursuant to the good faith resolution of a Tax contest. If the Sellers and Buyer fail to reach agreement despite their good faith efforts within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Sellers’ notice of objection, then the Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each be entitled to determine in their sole discretion the allocation of the Purchase Price among the assets of the Purchased Companies and their Subsidiaries in any manner, and the Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall have no liability to the other with respect to such determination or allocation.

Section 1.6    Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Acquiror shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement or the Real Estate Purchase Agreement such amounts as such Acquiror has reasonably determined it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of any such payment under the Code or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted

7

and withheld amounts are to be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Real Estate Purchase Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. As of the date hereof and assuming that the Acquirors receive at or prior to the Closing the documents described in Section 1.3(d)(v), no Acquiror is aware of any withholding Taxes that may become due and payable in connection with the Transactions. If an Acquiror intends to deduct or withhold any Tax as required by Law from any payment made to the Sellers in connection with the Transactions, such Acquiror shall (i) provide the Sellers at least five (5) Business Days advance notice of its intent to withhold such amounts, (ii) provide the legal basis for such withholding, (iii) provide a reasonable opportunity for the Sellers or other recipient to provide forms, documents or other evidence that would mitigate, reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding and (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Sellers or other recipient and the advisors thereof, as applicable, to mitigate, reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding; provided, however, that if the Sellers have delivered to the Acquirors the Non-Foreign Certificate, no Acquiror shall withhold from any payment hereunder any amounts pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code. To the extent that any party deducts and withholds any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, such party shall provide reasonable evidence to the other parties of payment of such amounts to the applicable Governmental Entity.

Parent and the Sellers have devised and maintain a system of internal accounting controls with respect to the business of each of the Companies sufficient to provide reasonable assurances (i) regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of each such Company’s assets that could have a material effect on such Company’s financial statements, (ii) that transactions are

10

recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements (A) in accordance with GAAP and (B) to maintain accountability for material assets, (iii) that receipts and expenditures of each of the Companies are being made only in accordance with the authorization of management of each such Company.

(b)    No Company has any Liabilities, whether or not accrued or unaccrued or contingent, required to be reflected or reserved against on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP other than Liabilities (i) reflected or reserved for on the balance sheet (or in the notes thereto) included in the Interim Financial Statements, (ii) incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business after the date of the Interim Financial Statements, (iii) incurred in connection with the Transactions or (iv) that, individually or in the aggregate, would not be material to such Company.

Nothing herein shall require the Acquirors or their respective Subsidiaries to retain the services of any particular individual for any particular length of time, including for a period of three (3) months after Closing. A Continuing Employee’s employment may be terminated at any time for any reason or no reason. Continuing Employees will receive compensation and benefits as described herein only for the portion of the Continuation Period the Continuing Employee remains employed.

(b)    To the extent permitted by applicable Law and allowed under Buyer’s and its Subsidiaries’ plans, programs, policies and arrangements, Buyer and its Subsidiaries shall provide credit for each Continuing Employee’s length of service with the Sellers and their respective Affiliates for all purposes (including eligibility and vesting) under each plan, program, policy or arrangement of Buyer and its Subsidiaries to the same extent such service was recognized under a similar plan, program, policy or arrangement of the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates, except that such prior service credit shall not be required to the extent that it results in a duplication of benefits.

(c)    To the extent permitted by applicable Law and allowed under Buyer and its Subsidiaries’ plans, programs, policies and arrangements, Buyer shall cause each benefit plan of Buyer and its Subsidiaries in which any Continuing Employee is otherwise eligible to participate that is a health or welfare benefit plan (collectively, “Buyer Welfare Plans”) to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and service conditions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Continuing Employees, other than limitations that were in effect with respect to such Continuing Employees as of the Closing Date

34

under the corresponding plans of the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) honor any payments, charges and expenses of such Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) that were applied toward the deductible and out-of-pocket maximums under the corresponding plans of the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates in satisfying any applicable deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums or co-payments under a corresponding Buyer Welfare Plan during the same plan year in which such payments, charges and expenses were made, and (iii) with respect to any medical plan, waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Continuing Employee to the extent such employee had satisfied any similar limitation under the corresponding plan of the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates.

(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable Law and allowed under Buyer and its Subsidiaries’ plans, programs, policies and arrangements, Buyer or its Subsidiaries shall cover each Continuing Employee who has elected to participate in a flexible spending account plan maintained by the Sellers or one of their respective Affiliates for the plan year during which the Closing occurs (“Seller’s FSA”) under a flexible spending account plan maintained by Buyer or one of its Subsidiaries (“Buyer’s FSA”) at the same level of coverage elected under Seller’s FSA. Each Continuing Employee shall be treated as if his or her participation in Buyer’s FSA had been continuous from the beginning of the plan year under Seller’s FSA in which the Closing occurs and each existing salary reduction election shall be taken into account for the remainder of the plan year under Buyer’s FSA in which the Closing occurs, as if made under Buyer’s FSA. Buyer’s FSA shall provide reimbursement for medical care expenses and dependent care expenses incurred by Continuing Employees at any time during the plan year under Seller’s FSA in which the Closing occurs (including claims incurred before the Closing), up to the amount of such Continuing Employees’ elections and reduced by amounts previously reimbursed by Seller’s FSA. Within 30 days following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall (i) provide to Buyer an accounting of the amounts elected, deducted and paid in respect of claims under Seller’s FSA in respect of the Continuing Employees during the plan year in which the Closing occurs and before the Closing and (ii) pay to Buyer the net amount, if any, of the excess of the aggregate amount deducted over the aggregate amount paid in respect of claims under Seller’s FSA in respect of each Continuing Employee during the plan year in which the Closing occurs (or, if amounts paid in respect of claims under Seller’s FSA exceeded amounts deducted in respect of each Continuing Employee during the plan year in which the Closing occurs, then Buyer shall instead pay to the Sellers such net excess).

(e)    Effective as of the Closing, Buyer and its Subsidiaries shall assume and be responsible for (i) all Liabilities with respect to all Continuing Employees and all current and former employees of each Company, and all of their respective eligible dependents, in respect of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended; (ii) all Liabilities with respect to all Continuing Employees, all other current and former employees of each Company, and all of their respective eligible dependents in respect of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Sections 601, et seq. and Sections 701 et seq. of ERISA, Section 4980B and Sections 9801 et seq. of the Code and applicable state or similar Laws; and (iii) to the extent applicable, all Liabilities in respect of workers’ compensation benefits payable to or on behalf of the Continuing Employees, all other current and former employees of each Company, and all of their respective eligible dependents.

35

(f)    Upon the Closing, Buyer or its applicable Subsidiary shall abide by all legal obligations concerning any applicable Labor Agreements.

(g)    Following the Closing, Buyer and its Subsidiaries (including the Purchased Companies) shall be solely responsible for complying with the WARN Act with respect to Continuing Employees for time periods following the Closing. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, the Sellers shall notify Buyer of any employment loss experienced by any employee of the Sellers, such Purchased Company or any of their respective Affiliates at any relevant location during the ninety (90) days prior to the Closing.

(h)    No provision of this Section 5.2 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any person, including any Parent employee, Continuing Employee or other current or former service provider of the Sellers, Acquirors or any of their respective Affiliates, any beneficiary or dependent of any of the foregoing, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, including with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment or benefits that may be provided. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an amendment or other modification of any benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement of the Sellers, Acquirors or any of their respective Affiliates, or shall otherwise limit the right of the Sellers, Acquirors and their respective Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement.

(i)    For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties acknowledge that PropCo shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever with respect to any Continuing Employee or Company Benefit Plan.

No such supplement, amendment or addition shall be evidence, in and of itself that the representations and warranties in the corresponding Section are no longer true and correct in all material respects. It is specifically agreed that the Disclosure Schedules may be supplemented, amended and/or added to, to add immaterial, as well as material, items thereto. Any disclosure in any such supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 have been satisfied; provided, however, that, solely to the extent that (a) the facts, circumstances events or actions (i) set forth in any such supplement first occurred or arose after the date of this Agreement, (ii) do not result from Fraud, willful misconduct and/or breach of any covenant of any Company, any Seller, or Parent and (iii) would

In addition, Buyer and PropCo each shall have the right to obtain, at such party’s sole expense, as applicable, ALTA surveys or zip maps or updates of existing surveys or zip maps of the Owned Real Property (and in connection therewith the Sellers shall, and shall cause the Companies to provide surveyors with reasonable access to the Real Property for such purpose), provided that obtaining such survey shall (x) be at no cost to, and shall impose no additional liability on, the Sellers and (y) not be a condition to Closing hereunder or otherwise delay Closing hereunder so long as Seller complies with its obligations in this Section 5.17.

(b)    With respect to any Title Policy for the IOC-Caruthersville Property and IOC-CG Property, the cost of the title commitments and the costs of the base premiums for any Title Policy shall be borne by the Sellers and the costs related to premiums for incremental, extended title insurance coverage and any endorsements (except for any affirmative coverage endorsements required to remove any exception to title that the Sellers have agreed to remove, the

All other costs and expenses (if any) with respect to any Real Property shall be allocated between the Acquirors and the Sellers in accordance with the customary practice of the county in which any such Real Property is located.

(c)    Sellers agree to reasonably cooperate with the Acquirors, the Title Company and surveyor such that the Title Policy for Caruthersville shall include as an insured interest the interest created by the Caruthersville Right-of-Way Lease, as the same may be extended, renewed and/or replaced prior to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the insuring of the interests created by the Caruthersville Right-of-Way Lease shall not be a condition to closing the Transactions.

(a)    Following the Closing, the Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared (at the applicable Company’s expense) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by each Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, and, subject to the rights to payment from the Sellers under Section 8.2(a), such Company shall pay or cause to be paid any Taxes shown due thereon.

(d)    The amount of any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the pre-Closing portion of such period and the post-Closing portion of such period (i) in the case of property and ad valorem Taxes, by apportioning such Taxes on a per diem basis without taking into account any increase in the assessed value of any property resulting from or attributable to the Transactions and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, on a closing of the books basis; provided, however, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be apportioned on a per diem basis; provided, further, that for income Taxes, the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period shall end on the Closing Date and that for non-income Taxes (including, without limitation, property, gross receipts, sales and employment Taxes), the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period shall end on the day prior to the Closing Date.

(e)    If a written notice of deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other claim with respect to Taxes of any Company is received by Buyer, such Company or any of their Affiliates (a “Notified Party”) for which the Sellers would be expected to be liable pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (a “Tax Claim”), the Notified Party shall give the Sellers prompt notice of such Tax Claim. After the Closing, the Sellers shall represent the interests of such Company in any Tax Claim relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (and such Company shall provide the Sellers with any necessary powers of attorney in connection therewith), and Buyer shall have the right to represent the interests of such Company in any Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period; provided, however, that (i) the controlling party shall keep the non-controlling party reasonably informed and consult in good faith with the non-controlling party with respect to any issue relating to such Tax Claim, (ii) the non-controlling party may participate directly in any Tax Claim at its own expense; (iii) the controlling party shall provide the non-controlling party with copies of all correspondence, notices and other written material received from any Governmental Entity with respect to such Tax Claim and shall otherwise keep the non-controlling party apprised of substantive developments with respect to such Tax Claim, (iv) the controlling party shall provide the non-controlling party with a copy of, and an opportunity to review and comment on, all submissions made to a Governmental Entity in connection with such Tax Claim, and (v) the controlling party may not agree to a settlement or compromise thereof, or abandonment thereof, without the prior written consent of the non-controlling party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 5.18(e), on the one hand,

51

and the provisions of Section 8.3, on the other, the provisions of this Section 5.18(e) shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.18(e) shall not apply to any Tax Claim relating to any consolidated, combined, unitary or similar Tax group that includes any Company, which Tax Claim shall be subject to the sole control of the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and as to which Buyer shall have no rights set forth in this Section 5.18(e) or Section 8.3.

(g)    The Sellers shall be entitled to any Tax refunds or overpayments in respect of Pre-Closing Tax Periods and the pre-Closing portion of Straddle Periods that are received by Buyer or any Company, or that reduce Taxes otherwise payable by Buyer or any Company in respect of a Post-Closing Tax Period or the post-Closing portion of a Straddle Period, net of any out-of-pocket costs or Taxes attributable to such refunds; provided, however, that the Sellers shall not be entitled to any Tax refunds or overpayments that are taken into account in the calculation of Closing Working Capital. Buyer shall cause each Company to make all filings and take all actions necessary to secure such refunds or overpayments as promptly as possible and to pay to the Sellers any such amount within fifteen (15) days after the actual receipt of or entitlement to such refund or overpayment. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent not taken into account in the calculation of Closing Working Capital, Buyer shall promptly pay to the Sellers the amount of any Tax (including estimated Tax) prepaid by any Company on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period or the post-Closing portion of a Straddle Period.

(h)    The Sellers shall terminate (or otherwise cause to be terminated) all Tax Sharing Agreements between any Company, on the one hand, and any other Person (other than a Company), on the other hand, before or as of the Closing Date.

(i)    Without obtaining the prior written consent of the Sellers, Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Company to, (i) take any action on the Closing Date other than in the Ordinary Course of Business that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material Tax Liability of the Sellers or any indemnification obligation of the Sellers under Section 8.2(a), (ii) amend any Tax Return of any Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period, (iii) file any Tax Return of any Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period other than one filed in accordance with Section 5.18(a) and (b) (unless the Sellers fail to file a Tax Return described therein), or (iv) carry back any net operating loss, credit or other Tax attribute from a Post-Closing Tax Period to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, in each case, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely Notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b)    If it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to:

(i)    take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim if the Indemnifying Party so notifies the Indemnified Party in writing;

(iii)    compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made (x) with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (y) without the consent of the Indemnified Party if such compromise or settlement contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, without any cost, liability or admission of wrongdoing of any nature whatsoever to or by such Indemnified Party, and provides only for monetary damages that will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(c)    If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

(d)    If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such Third Party Claim has been asserted will have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Parties’ reasonable cost, risk and expense (but only to the extent that it is finally determined that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII), the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Parties (but only to the extent that it is finally determined that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying

67

Party under this Article VIII); provided, however, that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e)    If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.

(f)    If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim within sixty (60) days of the Notice of such Third Party Claim having been provided to the Indemnifying Party, the Losses arising from such Third Party Claim will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Losses to the Indemnified Party on demand following the final determination thereof.

Section 8.5    Limitations on Indemnity.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no amounts of indemnity shall be payable as a result of any claim in respect of a Loss arising under Section 8.2(a) (other than Section 8.2(a)(iv) and Section 8.2(a)(v) and other than with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of a Seller Fundamental Representation or any claim grounded in Fraud in the making of the representations and warranties of the Sellers) except to the extent the aggregate claims for Losses of the Acquiror Indemnified Parties for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 8.2(a) hereof exceed $5,775,000 (or $3,877,500 if a Mountaineer Termination occurs) (the “Deductible”), in which case the Acquiror Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover, subject to the other limitations in this Article VIII, only to the extent such Losses in the aggregate exceed the Deductible.

(b)    No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover under Section 8.2 unless a claim has been asserted by written notice, specifying the details of the alleged breach with reasonable particularity, the sections of this Agreement alleged to have been breached, a good faith estimate of the Losses claimed, and all the relevant facts with respect thereto, delivered to the Sellers or Acquirors (as the case may be) on or prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period (in which case the applicable survival period shall be deemed to extend until such claim has been finally resolved).

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to the other limitations contained herein), in no event shall any Seller’s aggregate liability (i) for all indemnifiable claims for Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (other than Section 8.2(a)(iv) and other than with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of a Seller Fundamental Representation or any claim grounded in Fraud in the making of the representations and warranties of the Sellers) exceed $38,500,000 (or $25,850,000 if a Mountaineer Termination occurs) and (ii) for all indemnifiable claims for Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(a) with respect to Section 8.2(a)(iv) or a breach or inaccuracy of a Seller Fundamental Representation or any claim grounded in Fraud in the making of the representations and warranties of the Sellers exceed the aggregate Purchase Price received by such Seller.

(f)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Seller shall be liable under this Article VIII for any Losses or alleged Losses to the extent such Losses or alleged Losses are taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital (including any component thereof). Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied herein to the contrary, no Acquiror Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Taxes (i) for any taxable period, or portion thereof, beginning after the Closing Date, except with respect to a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.5(c) or (ii) that are attributable to a transaction involving Buyer or any Company occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing outside the ordinary course of business of any Company that is not caused by Seller.

(g)    In calculating the amount of any Losses payable to an Acquiror Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of the Losses (i) shall not be duplicative of any other Losses for which an indemnification claim has been paid and (ii) shall be computed net of any amounts actually recovered by such Indemnified Party under any insurance policy (including the Title Policy) with respect to such Losses (net of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such insurance proceeds). Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover from any applicable insurance policy (including the Title Policy) in respect of any Losses that are the subject of indemnification under this Article VIII. If an Indemnified Party actually recovers an amount from an insurance policy in respect of Losses that are the subject of indemnification under this Article VIII after all or a portion of such Losses have been paid by or at the direction of the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by or at the direction of the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Losses, plus the amount received from the insurance policy in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of such Losses, plus the amount of any out-of-pocket costs, fees or expenses incurred to procure such proceeds and the amount of any increased insurance premiums, retentions or other out-of-pocket costs related to or arising therefrom.

(h)    Nothing herein shall waive any party’s common law duty to mitigate any such claim or liability upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable under this Article VIII.

All Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The word “or” shall be disjunctive but not exclusive. The phrase “made available” in this Agreement shall mean that the information referred to has been made available if requested by the party to whom such information is to be made available. The posting of any document, agreement, instrument or other information to the online “data room” hosted by Merrill DataSite will constitute “delivery” of such document, agreement, instrument or other information to Buyer or PropCo, as applicable within the meaning of this Agreement. Each of the Acquirors and each Seller will be referred to herein individually as a “party” and collectively as “parties” (except where the context otherwise requires).

(b)    The Disclosure Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedules is intended to vary the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” or to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedules is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedules is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the Ordinary Course of Business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedules is or is not in the Ordinary Course of Business for purposes of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, each reference in this Agreement to any numbered schedule is a reference to the corresponding numbered schedule which is included in the Disclosure Schedules. Each numbered schedule in the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed to qualify the corresponding Section of this Agreement and any other Section to which the application of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face. It is specifically acknowledged that the Disclosure Schedules may expressly provide exceptions to a particular Section of Article II notwithstanding that the Section does not

86

state “except as set forth on Schedule ‘            ’”and, unless otherwise indicated, each reference to “Schedule ‘            ’” in this Agreement shall be deemed be a reference to the corresponding schedule in the Disclosure Schedules.

Section 9.6    Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.8    Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 9.9    Assignment. Without the prior written consent of all of the parties hereto, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by operation of Law (including by merger or consolidation) or otherwise, except that (x) Buyer may assign its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates and (y) PropCo may assign all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 9.9 shall be void.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and its permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except the Financing Parties may enforce (and the Financing Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of) the provisions of Section 7.3(e) (solely to the extent that it relates to the Financing Parties), Section 9.2(d), Section 9.3 (solely to the extent that it relates to the Financing

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach hereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or any other right.

Section 9.15    Attorney-Client Privilege. Recognizing that Milbank LLP has acted as legal counsel to the Sellers and each Company, and that such law firm intends to act as legal counsel to the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (other than the Companies) after the consummation of the Closing, Buyer agrees that, as to all communications among Milbank LLP,

the Companies or the Sellers or their respective representatives that (i) relate to the period prior to the consummation of the Closing or (ii) otherwise relate to the negotiations of, or the Transactions, the attorney-client privilege, the work product privilege, the expectation of client confidence and any other legal privileges or immunities belong to the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and may be controlled by the Sellers and their respective Affiliates and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyer, the Companies or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries or be waived by Buyer, the Companies or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries. The Sellers and their respective Affiliates may assert the attorney-client privilege, the work product privilege, the expectation of client confidence and any other legal privilege or immunity against Buyer, the Companies or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer, the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, the Companies may assert the attorney-client privilege, the work product privilege or any other applicable privilege or immunity from disclosure to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Milbank LLP to such third party; provided that neither the Companies nor any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Sellers.

Section 9.16    Representation. Buyer hereby agrees that, notwithstanding the fact that such law firm may be deemed from time to time to have acted as legal counsel to the Sellers and each Company prior to the Closing, following the Closing, Milbank LLP may act as legal counsel to the Sellers or their Affiliates, including in connection with any dispute relating to this Agreement or the Transactions or any other disputes that may arise between any of the parties hereto following the Closing, and Buyer shall not, and shall not cause, suffer or permit any Company, have or seek to have Milbank LLP disqualified from representing any of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates.

Section 9.17    Parent Guarantee.

(a)    Parent irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Acquirors the full and timely payment by the Sellers when due of any obligation of the Sellers to pay any amount or amount due to any Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.2(a) hereof to the extent the same is required to be paid by the Sellers pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations thereof (the “Obligations”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Acquirors acknowledge and agree on behalf of themselves and each Indemnified Party that (i) to the extent the Sellers are relieved of any of the Obligations for any reason (including pursuant to any limitation arising out of the terms and conditions of Article VIII), Parent shall be similarly relieved of such Obligations for all purposes hereunder, and (ii) Parent may assert, as a defense to, or release or discharge of, any payment or performance by Parent hereunder, any claim, set-off, deduction, defense or release that the Sellers could assert against Acquirors or any Indemnified Party, in each case, under the terms of this Agreement.

(b)    Parent hereby represents and warrants to the Acquirors as of the date hereof and as of the Closing as follows:

(i)    Parent has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The execution and

89

delivery of this Agreement and the performance by Parent of its obligations under this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Parent. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws now or hereinafter in effect affecting creditors’ rights generally and (B) general principles of equity; and

(ii)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the performance by Parent of its obligations under this Agreement will not, (A) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, any provision of the organizational documents of Parent, (B) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to the Parent or (C) require any material notices, reports or other filings by Parent with, nor any material consents by any Governmental Entity, except for any notice, report or other filing by Parent with, or any consent by, any Governmental Entity where the failure to make such notice, report or other filing with, or obtain such consent of, such Governmental Entity would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to impair or delay Parent’s performance of its obligations hereunder.

(c)    Parent shall not assign its rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any other Person without the prior written consent of Acquirors. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing shall restrict Parent from the sale, transfer, exchange, assignment or other disposition by any means of a majority of its equity securities, or all or substantially all of its assets.

Section 9.18    Unitary Transaction. Sellers and Acquirors hereby agree that if the Closing is to occur, it must be in respect of all Company Interests and all Transferred Real Estate Assets, and, except as otherwise provided herein with respect to a Mountaineer Termination or unless the parties hereafter otherwise agree, Acquirors shall not have the right to acquire, and Sellers shall not have the right to require Acquirors to acquire, fewer than all of the Company Interests and all Transferred Real Estate Assets.

Section 9.19    Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the Companies and the Sellers (in each case on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) hereby waives any rights or claims against any Financing Party for the Financing in connection with this Agreement, any Financing or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) or in respect of any oral or written representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, and each of the Companies and the Sellers (in each case on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) agrees not to commence any action or proceeding against any Financing Party for the Financing in connection with this Agreement, any Financing or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity and agrees to cause any such action or proceeding asserted by each of the Companies or the Sellers (in each case, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) in connection with this Agreement, any Financing or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity against any Financing Party for the

90

Financing to be dismissed or otherwise terminated. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, it is acknowledged and agreed that no financing source for the Financing shall have any liability for any claims or damages to the Companies, the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives in connection with this Agreement, any Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Each Buyer Releasing Party covenants that it will not (and that each Acquiror will cause all other Persons who may seek to claim as, by, through or in relation to any of the Buyer Releasing Parties or any of the matters released by or on behalf of the Buyer Releasing Parties in this Section 9.20(a) not to) sue any of the Seller Released Parties on the basis of any of the Acquiror Party Released Claims herein released and discharged. Each Buyer Releasing Party understands the significance of this release of unknown claims and waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims, and acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement. Each Buyer Releasing Party acknowledges that the Sellers will be relying on the waiver and release provided in this Section 9.20(a) in connection with entering into this Agreement and that this Section 9.20(a) is intended for the benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, each Seller Released Party to enforce this Section 9.20(a).

91

the “Seller Released Claims”) that such Seller ever had, now has or ever may have or claim to have against any Company Released Party, arising in connection with the management, ownership and operation of any of the Companies; provided, however, that this release does not extend to claims relating to any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or the Real Estate Purchase Agreement or any of the provisions set forth herein or therein or release or waive any rights to be indemnified, reimbursed and held harmless that the Sellers are entitled to under Article VIII.
