ARTICLE VIII. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS AND INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival. The covenants, obligations, representations and warranties of each party contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, will be deemed to be material and to have been relied upon by the other parties notwithstanding any investigation prior to the Closing, will not be merged into any documents delivered in connection with the Closing, and will terminate two (2) years after Closing; provided however, that if a notice claiming indemnity is properly delivered, the indemnification obligations will not expire with respect to such clai m(s) until the same are resolved as contemplated hereunder.

8.2 Indemnification by LVGI and LVMS. LVGI and LVMS shall indemnify, defend and hold AGI and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, and Shareholder and its officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives, harmless against any and all losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable cost of investigation, court costs and reasonable legal fees actually incurred) and other damages resulting from (a) any breach by LVGI or LVMS of any of their covenants,

	17

obligations, representations or warranties or breach or untruth of any representation, warranty, fact or conclusion contained in this Agreement or any certificate or document of LVGI or LVMS delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) any claim that is brought or asserted by any third party(ies) against Shareholder or AGI arising out of the ownership, licensing, operation or conduct of LVMS, prior to or after the Effective Time.

8.3 Indemnification by AGI and Shareholder. AGI and Shareholder shall indemnify, defend and hold LVGI and LVMS and their respective officers, directors, employees and representatives harmless against any and all losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable cost of investigation, court costs and reasonable legal fees actually incurred) and other damages resulting from (a) any breach by AGI or Shareholder of any of its covenants, obligations, representations or warranties or breach or untruth of any representation, warranty, fact or conclusion contained in this Agreement or any certificate or documen t of AGI or Shareholder delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) any claim that is brought or asserted by any third party(ies) arising out of the ownership, licensing, operation or conduct of AGI through Closing, unless the same shall arise from the failure to pay or perform any obligation of AGI incurred prior to the Closing in the ordinary course of business consistent with prior practice.

8.4 Rules Regarding Indemnification. The obligations and liabilities of each party hereto (the "indemnifying party") which may be subject to indemnification liability hereunder to the other party(ies) (the “indemnified party”) will be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(1) Claims by Non-Parties. The indemnified party will give written notice to the indemnifying party, within such time as not to prejudice the indemnifying party’s ability to defend against the underlying claim, of any written claim by a third party which is likely to give rise to a claim by the indemnified party against the indemnifying party based on the indemnity agreements contained in this Article, stating with reasonable specificity the nature of said claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. The indemnified party will give notice to the indemnifying par ty that pursuant to the indemnity, the indemnified party is asserting against the indemnifying party a claim with respect to a potential loss from the third party claim, and such notice will constitute the assertion of a claim for indemnity by the indemnified party. If, within ten (10) days after receiving such notice, the indemnifying party advises the indemnified party that it will provide indemnification and assume the defense at its expense, then so long as such defense is being conducted, the indemnified party will not settle or admit liability with respect to the claim without the consent of the indemnifying party and will afford to the indemnifying party and defending counsel reasonable assistance in defending against the claim. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party will be selected by such party and if the indemnified party then retains its own counsel, it will do so at its own expense. If the indemnified party does not receive a written objection to the notice from the indemnifying party

	18

within ten (10) days after the indemnifying party's receipt of such notice, the claim for indemnity will be conclusively presumed to have been assented to and approved, and in such case the indemnified party may control the defense of the matter or case and, at its sole discretion, settle or admit liability. If within the aforesaid ten (10) day period the indemnified party will have received written objection to a claim (which written objection will briefly describe the basis of the objection to the claim or the amount thereof, all in good faith), then for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of such objection the parties will attempt to settle the dispute as between the indemnified party and indemnifying parties. If they are unable to settle the dispute, the unresolved issue or issues will be settled by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Las Vegas, Nevada. During the pendency of a ny such dispute, the indemnified party may control all aspects of the defense of the matter or case.

(2) Claims by a Party. The determination of a claim asserted by a party hereunder (other than as set forth in subsection (1) above) pursuant to this Article will be made as follows: the indemnified party will give written notice to the indemnifying party, within such time as not to prejudice unduly the indemnifying party’s ability to defend against the underlying claim, of any claim by the indemnified party which has not been made pursuant to subsection (1) above, stating with reasonable specificity the nature of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. The claim will be deem ed to have resulted in a determination in favor of the indemnified party and to have resulted in a liability of the indemnifying party in an amount equal to the amount of such claim estimated pursuant to this clause (2) if within thirty (30) days after the indemnifying party's receipt of the claim the indemnified party will not have received written objection to the claim. In such event, the claim will be conclusively presumed to have been assented to and approved. If within the aforesaid thirty (30) day period the indemnified party will have received written objection to a claim (which written objection will briefly describe the basis of the objection to the claim or the amount thereof, all in good faith), then for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of such objection the parties will attempt to settle the disputed claim as between the indemnified and indemnifying parties. If they are unable to settle the dispute, the unresolved issue or issues will be settled by a court of competent jurisdiction loca ted in Las Vegas, NV.

LVGI agrees that it will include the Merger Consideration Shares and Warrants, and any other shares of LVGI Common Stock held by Shareholder or any officer, director, shareholder, or employee of Shareholder (collectively the “Registrable Securities”) in any registration statement for common stock it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Further, it is acknowledged by the parties that this Agreement has undergone several drafts with the negotiated suggestions of both; and, therefore, no presumptions will arise favoring either party by virtue of the authorship of any of its provisions or the changes made through revisions.

11.11 Legal Fees and Costs. In the event any party hereto incurs legal expenses to enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover such legal expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, costs and disbursements, in addition to any other relief to which such party will be entitled.

APPENDIX A

INVESTMENT LETTER

________, 2005

LAS VEGAS GAMING, INC.

Gentlemen:

In connection with the issuance and delivery of 400,000 shares and 100,000 Warrants of the common stock (the “Shares”) of LAS VEGAS GAMING, INC. (the “Corporation”) to AdLine Network, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Shareholder”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 14, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”), Shareholder makes the following acknowledgments, representations and warranties:

1. Investment Intent. The Shareholder is acquiring the Shares for investment solely for its own account and not with a present view to any distribution, transfer or resale to others, including any “distribution” within the meaning of Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), provided that nothing in this letter shall restrict or prohibit the Shareholder from transferring the Shares to its shareholders at any time or from time to time. The Shareholder understand s that the Shares have not and will not, except as provided in the Merger Agreement, be registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends on, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of my representations made herein.

2. Financial Ability. The Shareholder is financially able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Corporation and has no need for liquidity in this investment. Furthermore, the financial capacity of the Shareholder is of such a proportion that the total cost of the Shareholder’s commitment is not material when compared with his total committed capital. The Shareholder is financially able to suffer a complete loss of this investment.

3. Experience. The executive officers of Shareholder have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general and with respect to investments of a nature similar to that evidenced by the Shares so as to be capable, by reason of such knowledge and experience, of evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed business decision with regard to, and protecting his own interests in connection with, the acquisition of the Shares.

4. Review of Prospectus and Financial Statements. Shareholder has been provided with and had the opportunity to review all filings made by the Corporation with the

	23

United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as disclosed in the Merger Agreement and available at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

5. Limited Public Market. Shareholder understands that a limited public market now exists for any of the securities of the Corporation and that the Corporation has made no assurances that a more active public market will ever exist for the Corporation’s securities.

6. Restricted Legend. The Shareholder acknowledges that certificates representing the Shares will bear a legend substantially as follows:

THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF

1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS THEY ARE SO

REGISTERED OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION, SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM

REGISTRATION.

7. Stock Transfer. Shareholder is aware that stop-transfer instructions will be given to the transfer agent of the common stock of the Corporation to prevent any unauthorized or illegal transfer of the Shares, provided that Shareholder shall be entitled to distribute the Shares to its shareholders at any time or fr om time to time.

8. Reliance for Exemptions. Shareholder understands that the Shares are being issued and delivered to Shareholder pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and applicable state securities laws and acknowledges that LVGI is relying upon the investment and other representations made by Shareholder herein as the basis for such exemptions.

9. Accuracy of Shareholder Representations. The Shareholder represents that the information and representations contained in this letter are true, correct, and complete.
