(c) In the event any action or proceeding is instituted or threatened against any Member, or any officer, director, shareholder, guarantor or employee of a Member, in connection with the business or affairs of the Company (except actions or proceedings between the Members or by the Company, unless otherwise provided with respect to derivative actions in accordance with Section 9.2 below) or to which any of the foregoing may be a party on behalf of the Company, each Member, shall be entitled to retain legal counsel and other experts at the expense of the Company and (subject to the limitation of liability set forth in Section4.2(a)) any of the foregoing shall be immediately reimbursed for, indemnified against and held harmless by the Company with respect to all liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of, or in connection with, such action or proceeding, and whether or not any of the foregoing is serving in such capacity as of the date that such liability, costs or expenses are fixed or incurred and without awaiting determination of the actual proceeding.

*****CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED*****

5.2 Governmental Withholding. The Board shall cause the Company to comply with any and all tax withholding obligations to which the Company is subject. In the event the Company is required to deduct and withhold, pursuant to the Code or any other federal, state or local law, rule or regulation which is currently in effect or which may be promulgated hereafter (“Applicable Law”), any amount from an actual distribution to a Member, the amount so deducted and withheld from such distribution shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated as a distribution to such Member of the same type as the distribution giving rise to the obligation. In the event Applicable Law requires the Company to pay or withhold any amount on behalf of a Member (including any federal, state or local taxes) measured by a Member’s distributive share of the Company’s Net Profits or other items of Company income or gain, other than any amount required to be deducted and withheld from actual distributions to a Member, then the payment or withholding of any such amount shall be considered a loan (“Tax Loan”) by the Company to such Member (the “Borrowing Member”).

In addition to any other rights of the Company to enforce its entitlement to receive payment of the Tax Loan, plus any accrued interest thereon, the Company may deduct from any distribution to be made to a Borrowing Member an amount not greater than the outstanding balance of any Tax Loan, plus any accrued interest thereon, as a payment in total or partial satisfaction thereof.

6. ALLOCATIONS

6.1 Allocations of Net Profits. Subject to Section 6.3, the Net Profits of the Company for each Fiscal Year of the Company shall be allocated by the Board to the Members as follows:

(a) First, to the Members, in proportion to the aggregate amount of Net Losses theretofore allocated to each Member, until the aggregate amount of Net Losses so allocated to the Members shall equal the aggregate amount of Net Profits allocated to the Members pursuant to this Section 6.1(a); and

(b) Then, to the Members, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

Any credit available for income tax purposes shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Unrecovered Capital Contributions. If the Company shall realize gain which is treated as ordinary income under Section 1245 or 1250 of the Code, such ordinary income shall be allocated to the Members who receive the allocation of the depreciation or cost recovery deduction that generated the ordinary income, which amount shall be allocated in the same proportions as such deductions.

6.2 Allocation of Net Losses. Subject to Section 6.3, Net Losses of the Company for any Fiscal Year of the Company shall be allocated to the Members as follows:

(a) In accordance with Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company and its fair market value (as shall be reasonably determined by the Board), using any method selected by the Board and which is not prohibited under Section 704(b) or 704(c) of the Code. In the event that Capital Accounts are ever adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2) to reflect the fair market value of any Company Property (which fair market value shall be reasonably determined by the Board), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall, solely for tax purposes, take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset and such fair market value, using any method selected by the Board under the Treasury Regulations and which is not prohibited under Section 704(b) or 704(c) of the Code.

(b) The Company shall make such allocations of Company income, gain, deduction, loss and credit in such a manner as the Board determines to be necessary so as to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2, and the provisions of said regulations are incorporated herein by reference. All “nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) of the Company for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(c) Rules of Construction. An allocation to a Member of Net Profits or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation to such Member of each item of income, gain, loss and deduction that has been taken into account in computing such Net Profits or Net Loss.

(c) A taking of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets in condemnation or by eminent domain shall be treated in all respects as a sale of the Company’s assets upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Company pursuant to this Section 11 in such event any portion of the property and assets of the Company not so taken shall be sold and the proceeds, together with the condemnation award, distributed in the manner provided for in this Section 11.

(d) The amount by which the fair market value of any property to be distributed in kind to the Members exceeds or is less than the basis of such property (determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code) shall, to the extent not otherwise recognized to the Company, be taken into, account in computing gain or loss of the Company for purposes of crediting or charging the Capital Accounts of, and distributing proceeds to, the Members under this Section 11.

(e) If, following the termination of the Company, any asset of the Company is sold in a transaction in which, by reason of the provisions of Section 453 of the Code, gain is realized but not recognized, such realized gain shall be taken into account in computing gain of the Company for the purposes of making allocations under Article 6 hereof and distributions of proceeds to the Members under Article 5 hereof.

(e) Reasonable assurances are provided to the Board that all monetary obligations hereunder of the transferring Member prior to the date of such assumption have been or will be satisfied;

(f) The Transfer would not result in a breach or default under any agreement to which the Company is a party or give rise to the right to accelerate the maturity of any Company indebtedness or result in any fees or penalties to the Company (unless the transferee or assignor indemnifies the Company against such fees or penalties in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the non-transferring Member or pays such fees or penalties);

 

30

(g) If the transferring Member’s Percentage Interest is less than five (5%) percent, such Transfer shall be of all, and not less than all, of such Member’s Percentage Interest; and

12.4 No Withdrawal. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, without the prior consent of the Board, no Member may resign, withdraw or take any other action that would cause a dissolution of the Company prior to the termination of the Company pursuant to Section 11.1.

12.5 Right of First Refusal.

(a) If a General Member (the “Selling Member”) desires to make a bona fide sale of its Interest to a third party (a “Third Party”), other than pursuant to an Affiliate Transfer, as evidenced by an executed letter of intent or signed term sheet with such Third Party, the Selling Member shall first offer the Interest for sale or transfer to TER and the General Members at a price equal to the price set forth in the in the letter of intent or term sheet with the Third Party (the “Offer Price”), but not to exceed the Ceiling Price, and otherwise on the terms and conditions set forth in the letter of intent or term sheet with the Third Party. The Selling Member shall, prior to any such sale, give written notice (the “Selling Member’s Notice”) to TER and the Company. The Selling Member’s Notice shall include the Offer Price, the identity of the Third Party, the terms of payment of the Offer Price and all material terms relating to such sale, and include a copy of the term sheet or letter of intent. The Selling Member’s Notice shall constitute a binding offer by the Selling Member to sell to TER and TER shall have the right to purchase the Interest (the “Offered Interest”) then owned by the Selling Member at the lesser of the Offer Price or the Ceiling Price. Not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Selling Member’s Notice, TER shall deliver written notice to the Selling Member and the Company (the “TER Notice”) stating whether TER has elected to purchase the Offered Interest. For purposes of this Section 12.5(a), the “Ceiling Price” shall be (x) the Percentage Interest represented by the Offered Interest multiplied by [*****], (y) multiplied by [*****] (*****).

(b) In the event TER elects not to purchase the Offered Interest as provided above, the Company shall give notice (the “Company Notice”) of that fact to each General Member and each General Member shall have the right to purchase such General Member’s Proportionate Share of the Offered Interest at the lesser of the Offer Price or the Ceiling Price. As used in this Section 12.5(b), “Proportionate Share” shall mean with respect to each Member a fraction, the numerator of which is the Percentage Interest then held by such Member, and the

 

31


*****CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED*****

denominator of which is the total Percentage Interests of all Members timely electing to purchase the Offered Interest pursuant to this Section 12.5(b). Not later than fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Company Notice, each Member electing to purchase the Offered Interest shall deliver to the Company and the other Members, including the Selling Member, a written notice stating that it has elected to purchase its Percentage Share of the Offered Interest.

(c) The place for the closing of any purchase and sale described in Section 12.5(b) or Section 12.5(c) shall be the principal office of the Company or at such other place as the parties shall agree, within thirty (30) days of the later to occur of the TER Notice or the Company Notice. At the closing, the Selling Member shall sell the Offered Interest at the price specified in Section 12.5(a) and otherwise on the terms specified in the Selling Member’s Notice, and shall deliver to TER or any purchasing General Members, as applicable the Offered Interest free and clear of any and all claims, liens, and encumbrances of every kind and nature by duly executed instruments of transfer of the Offered Interest. If the Ceiling Price has not yet been determined as provided in Section 12.5(a) above at the time for closing as specified in this Section 12.5(c), then the purchase of the Offered Interest shall occur at the Offer Price.

(d) If TER and the General Members fail to purchase the Offered Interest, then the Selling Member shall be free to sell to the Third Party the Offered Interest at a price and on terms no less favorable to the Selling Member than described in the Selling Member’s Notice, provided, however, that such sale is consummated within forty-five (45) days of the date of the Company Notice. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of a transfer to a Third Party pursuant to this Section 12.5(d), the Conditions of Transfer shall be satisfied. If the sale to the Third Party is not concluded within forty-five (45) days after the date of the Company Notice, then the Interest of the Selling Member shall once again become subject to the right of first refusal set forth herein.

(e) In connection with a prospective sale by a Selling Member of its Interest in the Company, provided the potential third-party purchaser of the Selling Member’s Interest shall have entered into a non-disclosure agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company, and provided further that neither such potential third party purchaser nor any of its Affiliates engages in a competing business anywhere in the Restricted Area, then the Selling Member may furnish, and the Company will cooperate with the Selling Member in furnishing, such information regarding the Company and its business operations as such potential third-party purchaser may reasonably request in order to value and evaluate the Interest of the Selling Member. For purposes of this subsection, the phrase “engages in a competing business” shall mean, directly or indirectly, operating, owning any equity interest in (as a partner, member, shareholder, principal, agent or trustee), or rendering any management, consulting or similar services to, any casino or slot parlor, other than ownership, solely as a passive investment, of securities of an entity traded on any national securities exchange or market if such third party and its Affiliates do not own, collectively, more than of such securities.

12.6 Transfer by TER. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, provided the Conditions of Transfer are satisfied, TER may sell, assign, pledge or hypothecate its Interest in the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time.

Any such Required Sale Notice may be rescinded by TER by delivering written notice thereof to all of the General Members.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.7(a) above, the Drag Along Obligation shall only be binding upon the General Members if the consideration to be received by the Members is determined to be fair, from a financial point of view, as evidenced by a fairness opinion from a nationally recognized investment banking or valuation firm retained by the Company to render such fairness opinion to the Board.

(b) Notices of Offer and Intent to Participate.

12.10 TER Restrictive Covenant. For so long as TER or any of its Affiliates own more than a fifteen (15%) Interest in the Company, neither TER nor an Affiliate of TER shall (i) engage in a competing business for its own account anywhere in [*****] (the “Restricted Area”); or (ii) [*****]; provided, however, [*****].
