The Company is authorized to issue 466,666 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 440,000 shares are issued and outstanding, and 13,333,333 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 10,425,187 shares are issued and outstanding.

The execution and delivery of, and the performance of and compliance with the transactions contemplated by, the Transaction Documents, and the issuance and sale of the Shares as payment under the Note, upon conversion of the Note or upon exercise of the Warrant, will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such term, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

The Company has not received any notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.14 or in the SEC Reports, no employee of the Company has been granted the right to continued employment by the Company or to any material compensation following termination of employment with the Company.

6

condition, operations or prospects of the Company. No governmental orders, permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed in connection with the execution and delivery of, and the performance of the transactions contemplated by, the Transaction Documents, the pledge of the Collateral to secure the Note or the issuance of the Shares as payment under the Note, upon conversion of the Note or upon exercise of the Warrant, except such as has been duly and validly obtained or filed, or with respect to any filings that must be made after the Closing, as will be filed in a timely manner. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the business, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company and the Company believes it can (and covenants to Purchaser that it will) obtain any similar authority for the conduct of its business as planned to be conducted (including as to the shipment of Gaming Machines, as defined below, in interstate commerce and as to entering into participation or revenue-sharing arrangements with Tribes, as defined below).

     With respect to the Company’s sale or license to, or participation or other revenue-sharing arrangements with, one or more unaffiliated Native American tribal customers (the “Tribes") of or regarding slot-machine games (the “Gaming Machines"), and for so long as any portion of the Note is outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees as follows:

     (i) Each such Gaming Machine will be, and each such Gaming Machine’s proposed operation and use by each of the Tribes will qualify it as, a Class III game (within the meaning of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1998); and

     (ii) Prior to placing any Gaming Machine in service on a Tribe’s property, the Company will:

     (A) use its best efforts to procure, contractually with such Tribe:

     (1) a written acknowledgement in form satisfactory to Purchaser of Purchaser’s security interest pursuant to the Security Agreement in (i) each such Gaming Machine placed in service on the Tribal property and in which the Company retains an ownership or other proprietary interest as seller or lessor or under a participation, revenue-sharing or other similar arrangement and (ii) any accounts receivable relating to any such Gaming Machine’s sale, lease, participation or revenue-sharing or other similar arrangement and

     (2) a written confirmation of such Tribe’s limited waiver of its sovereign immunity with respect to the enforcement of Purchaser’s security interest; or

     (B) deliver to Purchaser an opinion of the Company’s counsel (which may be special counsel experienced in Tribal affairs), in form satisfactory to Purchaser, that the Purchaser has an enforceable first priority security interest as described in subsection (ii)(A)(1) above and that the Tribe has waived its sovereign immunity with respect to Purchaser’s enforcement of Purchaser’s security interest as described above.

7

     Despite the above, the Company is not required to comply with subsection (ii) above for an aggregate of six Gaming Machines placed in service at any particular time across all Tribal properties so long as the Company has placed such Gaming Machines in service solely for the purpose of limited testing. The Company’s failure to comply with the foregoing covenants will require prepayment of the Note as provided by the terms thereof.

     3.17. Environmental and Safety Laws. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, law or regulation relating to the environment or occupational health and safety, and to the Company’s knowledge, no material expenditures are or will be required in order to comply with any such existing statute, law or regulation. Without limiting the foregoing, and except as disclosed in the SEC Reports:

     (a) with respect to any real property owned, leased or otherwise utilized by the Company (“Real Property"), the Company is not or has not in the past been in violation of any Hazardous Substance Law which violation could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company or its properties and assets;

The Purchaser has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. The Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the Note or Warrant (or the Shares) are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is available. Except as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Purchaser has no present intention of selling or otherwise transferring the Note, the Warrant or the Shares, or any interest therein. The Purchaser also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow the Purchaser to transfer all or any portion of the Note, the Warrant or the Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times the Purchaser might propose.

     (b) Acquisition for Own Account. Except as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Purchaser is acquiring the Note, the Warrant and the Shares for the Purchaser’s own account for investment only, and not with a view towards their public distribution.

     (c) Purchaser Can Protect Its Interest. The Purchaser represents that by reason of its, or of its management’s, business or financial experience, the Purchaser has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, the Note, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement. Further, the Purchaser is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Agreement.

12

     (d) Accredited Investor. The Purchaser represents that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

     (e) Residence. The Purchaser represents that it is organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and that its principal office is located in the State of Minnesota.

     (f) Rule 144. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Note and Warrant, and, if issued, the Shares, must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being through an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a market maker (as such term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

     4.2. Transfer Restrictions. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Note and Warrant and, if issued, the Shares, are subject to restrictions on transfer and will bear restrictive legends.

     4.3. Acquisition of Shares. Until the Note is paid in full, the Purchaser may not acquire “beneficial ownership” (as defined by Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of Shares except for those which are or may be acquired as payment on the Note or upon exercise of the Warrant. The foregoing covenant shall lapse if the Company defaults in the timely payment of any amount due under the Note.

SECTION 5. CONDITIONS FOR CLOSING

     5.1. Conditions for the Company to Satisfy. The obligation of the Purchaser to purchase the Note and Warrant as contemplated by this Agreement is subject to satisfaction of the following contingencies at or prior to Closing:

     (a) The Company shall have obtained all third party consents required in connection herewith, including consents to pledge the Collateral to the Purchaser as security for the Note (excluding acknowledgements from Tribes as contemplated by Section 3.16 above in connection with future sales, leases, participation rights, revenue-sharing or other similar arrangements between the Company and such Tribes relating to Gaming Machines placed in service on Tribal property).

     (b) The Company shall have executed and delivered to the Purchaser at Closing the Transaction Documents.

13

     (c) The Company shall have paid Gary S. Kohler and Scot W. Malloy, together, a $33,000 cash origination fee related to the transactions contemplated hereby.

     (d) Maslon Edelman Borman & Brand, LLP, legal counsel to the Company, shall have delivered an opinion to the Purchaser with respect to the following matters:

     (i) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents, to pledge the Collateral as security for the Note, to issue and sell the Shares, to carry out the provisions of the Transaction Documents and to carry on its business as presently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. The Company has no subsidiaries. The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to be so qualified would not have a materially adverse effect on the Company or its business, taken as a whole.

     (ii) The Company is authorized to issue 466,666 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 440,000 shares are issued and outstanding, and 13,333,333 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which, to the firm’s knowledge, 10,425,187 shares are issued and outstanding. To the firm’s knowledge, the Company has no outstanding Convertible Securities or any agreement or commitment to sell or issue any shares of capital stock or Convertible Securities, except as described herein. All issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock (a) have been duly authorized and validly issued, (b) are fully paid and nonassessable, (c) are free from any preemptive and cumulative voting rights and (d) were issued pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the Commission and applicable state securities authorities or pursuant to valid exemptions under federal and state securities laws. To the firm’s knowledge, there are no outstanding rights of first refusal or proxy or shareholder agreements of any kind relating to any of the Company’s securities to which the Company or any of its executive officers and directors is a party. When issued in compliance with the provisions of the Note and the Warrant (and upon payment as provided by the Warrant), the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of any liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that the Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws as set forth herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the time a transfer is proposed.

     (iii) All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization of the Transaction Documents, the performance of all obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents at the Closing, including the pledge of the Collateral as security for the Note, and the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Shares as payment under the Note, upon conversion of the Note or upon exercise of the Warrant has been taken. The Transaction Documents, when executed and delivered, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms,

14

except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, (b) according to general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies; and (c) to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnification provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable laws. The sale of the Shares upon exercise of the Warrant or upon payment under the Note is not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal.

     (iv) The execution and delivery to the Purchaser of the Transaction Documents does not violate or constitute a default under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as amended, of the Company, or under any agreement known to such firm to which the Company or the Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets are bound.

     (v) To such firm’s knowledge, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or currently threatened against the Company, including any that questions the validity of the Agreement or the other agreements contemplated thereby or the right of the Company to enter into any of such agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. To such firm’s knowledge, and except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality.

     (vi) Upon tender of the funds by the Purchaser to the Company as contemplated by the Agreement and filing of a UCC Financing Statement covering the Collateral, a security interest in the Collateral will attach in favor of the Purchaser.
