ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

Except as otherwise set forth on the Schedules, Buyer for all purposes of this Article V and, in the case of LDC, only to the extent LDC is identified in this Article V, represent and warrant, as of the date hereof, to Seller:

5.1 Organization, Good Standing, Qualification and Power. Buyer is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. LDC is a federally chartered corporation duly organized, validly existing and in

good standing under the Laws of the United States pursuant to 25 U.S.C. §477 et al., as amended, and the laws of the Tribe, and is wholly owned by the Tribe. Buyer is wholly owned by HoldCo, which, as of the Closing, will be owned 50% by LDC and 50% by Eagle. The sole general partner of Eagle is Eagle Holdings GP, LLC, and the sole limited partner of Eagle is the Tribe. Buyer has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as currently conducted and is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary because of the nature of the business conducted by it, except where the failure to be so qualified would not (a) reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, financial condition or results of operations of Buyer or (b) prohibit or delay Buyer from consummating the Transaction.

5.2 Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. Each of Buyer and LDC has all corporate power or company power, as applicable, and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement (including the Sovereign Immunity Waivers and the Consents and Waivers) and the Related Documents to which it is, or is specified to be, a party and, subject to obtaining the consents and approvals and making the filings referred to in Section 5.3(b), to consummate the Transaction. The execution, delivery and performance by each of Buyer and LDC of this Agreement and the Related Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the Transaction have been or, prior to the Closing, will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate (or similar) action on the part of Buyer, LDC and the Tribe, and no further action by Buyer, LDC or the Tribe are required. Each of Buyer and LDC has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and prior to the Closing will have duly executed and delivered each Related Document to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by all Parties or parties hereto or thereto other than Buyer and LDC, this Agreement constitutes, and each Related Document to which it is, or is specified to be, a party will after the Closing constitute, its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles.

For the avoidance of doubt, no resolutions of the Tribe are necessary to authorize LDC to guarantee the obligations of any other Person as required in connection with this Agreement, including any guarantee under the Company Lease or in connection with LDC’s role as a guarantor of Buyer’s Third-Party Obligations under Section 12.18.

5.3 No Conflicts; Consent.

(a) Neither the execution and delivery of the Agreement by Buyer or LDC nor the consummation of the Transaction, nor compliance by Buyer or LDC with any of the terms or provisions hereof, will (i) violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of Buyer, LDC or the Tribe, or (ii) assuming that the consents, approvals and filings referred to in Section 5.3(b) are duly obtained or made, (A) violate any statute, code, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, decree or injunction applicable to Buyer, LDC or the Tribe or any of their respective properties or assets, or (B) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of any provision of, or require

(b) Other than approvals in connection with the HSR Act filings, no Governmental Approval or consent, approval, license, permit, order, qualification or authorization of, or registration, declaration, notice or filing with, any other Person is required for or in connection with the execution and delivery by each of Buyer or LDC of this Agreement and each Related Document to which it is a party, and the consummation by Buyer of the Transaction, other than (i) any approvals or filing of notices required under the Gaming Laws and (ii) the consents, approvals and filings set forth on Schedule 5.3.

(c) To the Knowledge of Buyer, the Closing Gaming Approvals set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) constitute all of the Gaming Approvals that Buyer and its Affiliates are required to obtain under applicable Gaming Laws in order to consummate the Transaction.

5.4 Proceedings. There are no (a) outstanding judgments, orders or decrees against Buyer, (b) Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Buyer, threatened against Buyer or LDC or (c) investigations by any Governmental Entity that are pending or, to the Knowledge of Buyer, threatened against Buyer or LDC, that in each case if determined adversely would be reasonably expected to prevent, materially delay or otherwise interfere with or have any material adverse effect on the consummation by Buyer of the Transaction.

5.5 Brokers. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.5, no agent, broker, investment banker or other firm or Person engaged by or acting on behalf of Buyer or any of its Affiliates is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission or similar fee in connection with any of the Transaction.

5.6 Investment Intent. Buyer understands that the Equity Interests may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, without registration under the Securities Act or a valid exemption from registration under the Securities Act and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Equity Interests or a valid exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Equity Interests must be held indefinitely. Buyer is acquiring the Equity Interests for its own account solely for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Buyer is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.

5.7 Financial Ability to Purchase.

(a) Buyer, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, expressly acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Agreement, including its obligation to consummate the Closing, are not contingent upon its receipt of financing of any kind and that the only conditions precedent to the Closing are set forth in Article VII. Upon consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, Buyer and the Company will not (a) be insolvent or left with unreasonably small capital, (b) have incurred debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature, or (c) have liabilities in excess of the reasonable market value of their assets. Buyer has delivered to Seller duly executed, complete and accurate copies of certain commitment letters (the “Commitment Letter”) with Capital One, National Association or another Affiliate thereof (the “Lenders”), dated of even date herewith, pursuant to which such Persons have agreed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to provide Buyer with aggregate amounts that, together with the equity contributions of Eagle and LDC, will be sufficient to timely complete the Transaction contemplated herein (the “Financing”). There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter and, subject to the satisfaction of such conditions, the Commitment Letter may not be revoked by the Lenders. There are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements, written or oral, that would permit the Lenders to reduce the amount of Financing set forth in the Commitment Letter or that could otherwise adversely affect or delay the availability of the Financing. Subject to the funding of the Financing set forth in the Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms, the aggregate proceeds of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter shall be sufficient to enable Buyer, along with its own readily available resources (including the Initial Capital Injection), to pay the Purchase Price for the Equity Interests and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Equity Interests and Company Property.

(b) LDC has committed to provide, and to cause Eagle to provide, equity financing in an aggregate amount sufficient to close on the Transaction as contemplated herein. Immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, LDC has, and has caused Eagle to, irrevocably contribute equity of $15,000,000 and $42,000,000, respectively, in cash to Buyer, which Buyer currently holds free and clear of any and all Liens or other intercompany agreements (the “Initial Capital Injection”). Eagle and LDC have, and at all times will have, cash on hand, the right and ability to call capital or the right and ability to draw cash from its line of credit, in either case in an amount sufficient to provide the equity financing necessary to timely complete the Transaction as contemplated herein at Closing.

5.8 Investigation. Buyer acknowledges that it is relying on its own independent investigation and analysis in entering into the transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer is knowledgeable about the industries in which the Company operates, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and is able to bear the substantial economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. Buyer has been afforded access to books and records, facilities and personnel of the Company for purposes of conducting a due diligence investigation, had the opportunity prior to the date hereof to physically inspect the Company Property, perform to its satisfaction structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and environmental inspections and tests and review the due diligence materials on the Company provided to Buyer by Seller in the Data Room.

5.9 Licensability of Licensing Affiliates; Required Licensees.

(a) Schedule 5.9(a) sets forth a correct and complete list of each location where LDC, its Affiliates (other than Buyer) and/or their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Licensed Parties”) are licensed by any Gaming Authority to own or operate gaming facilities. Buyer is a new entity formed for the purpose of consummating the Transaction and is not, as of the date hereof, licensed by any Gaming Authority to own or operate gaming facilities. Each Licensed Party is in good standing in each of the jurisdictions in which such Licensed Party owns or operates gaming facilities. To the Knowledge of Buyer, after discussion with each applicable Gaming Authority, there is no reason for the Gaming Authorities not to grant all required Gaming Approvals or refuse to grant any finding of suitability with respect to Buyer or its Affiliates.

(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.9(b), to the Knowledge of Buyer, there are no facts, that if known to the Gaming Authorities, would (i) reasonably be expected to result in the denial, revocation, limitation or suspension of a Gaming Approval with respect to Buyer, any of its principals, Representatives or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, key employees or Persons performing management functions similar to an officer (such Persons, the “Licensing Affiliates”), (ii) reasonably be expected to result in a negative outcome to any finding of suitability proceedings currently pending, or under the suitability proceedings necessary to obtain a Gaming Approval required to consummate the Transaction or (iii) reasonably be expected to negatively impact, or cause a delay under, any suitability proceeding required by a Gaming Authority to consummate the Transaction.

(c) Schedule 5.9(c) sets forth each Licensing Affiliate that Buyer believes must obtain a Gaming Approval in order to consummate the Transaction (together, the “Required Licensees”).

(d) To the Knowledge of Buyer, none of the Required Licensees has ever been arrested, detained, charged, indicted or convicted or pleaded guilty or nolo contendere or forfeited bail in connection with any criminal offense under the Laws of any jurisdiction, whether such criminal offense constitutes a felony or misdemeanor (except for traffic violations, the maximum possible punishment for which was a fine not in excess of five hundred dollars ($500)).

5.10 Compliance with Gaming Laws. Other than routine matters in connection with updating of Licensing Affiliates’ disclosure obligations and matters in connection with obtaining Gaming Approvals, neither Buyer, its Affiliates, nor, to the Knowledge of Buyer, any Licensing Affiliate has received notice of any pending investigation or review by any Gaming Authority or other Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over any gaming operations of Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to Buyer, its Affiliates, any of the Licensing Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, key employees or Persons performing management functions similar to an officer and, other than routine matters in connection with updating of Licensing Affiliates’ disclosure obligations and matters in connection with obtaining Gaming Approvals, to the Knowledge of Buyer, (a) no investigation or review is threatened, (b) no Gaming Authority or other Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over any gaming operations of Buyer or its Affiliates has indicated any intention to conduct the same, and (c) there are no facts that, if

known to a Gaming Authority or other Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over any gaming operations of Buyer or its Affiliates, will or would reasonably be expected to give rise to any inquiry or investigation, or to result in the revocation, limitation or suspension of a license issued to such Persons by an applicable Governmental Entity. Other than routine matters in connection with updating of Licensing Affiliates’ disclosure obligations and matters in connection with obtaining Gaming Approvals, neither Buyer, any of its Affiliates, nor, to the Knowledge of Buyer, any Licensed Party or director, officer, key employee or partner of a Licensed Party has suffered a suspension or revocation of any license issued to such Persons by an applicable Gaming Authority or other Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over any gaming operations of Buyer or its Affiliates.

5.11 Tribal Matters.

(a) Federally Recognized Tribe. The Tribe is a federally recognized Indian tribe organized under 25 U.S.C. §476, Section 16 of the Indian Reorganization Act most recently pursuant to a Certificate of Constitutional Amendment Approval issued by U.S. Department of Interior, Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs (the “Secretary”) dated October 29, 2012.

(b) Charter Adoption. The Tribe’s resolution approving the charter and by-laws of LDC under Section 17 of the Indian Reorganization Act (the “LDC Charter”) was duly and validly adopted by the Tribe’s governing body at a duly-called meeting on September 1, 1998, with a quorum present (the “Charter Adoption”) and the Secretary has issued a Certificate of Approval of the Charter with respect thereto on December 14, 1998. The Tribe’s governing body has ratified the LDC Charter on December 23, 1998 (the “Charter Ratification”). Attached as Schedule 5.11(b) is a correct and complete copy of the LDC Charter. The LDC Charter is currently in effect as a valid law of the Tribe. None of the LDC Charter, Charter Adoption or Charter Ratification has been rescinded, revoked, surrendered, supplemented or amended in any way.

(c) Corporate Power and Authority of Buyer. LDC possesses all rights, powers and immunities as set forth in the LDC Charter, the execution or waiver of any of which delegated rights, powers and immunities requires no further action by its Board of Directors or by the Tribe’s governing body. Under the LDC Charter, the governing body of LDC is its Board of Directors, which has full power and authority to bind LDC to the Agreement and Related Documents, and to grant enforceable waivers of sovereign immunity on behalf of LDC to the extent provided in the Agreement or the Related Documents without further action by the Tribe’s governing body or any other body.

(d) Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. The provisions in this Agreement with respect to the waiver of sovereign immunity, the enforcement thereof and remedies for breach by Buyer or LDC, and the submission to the Laws and jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Sections 12.9, 12.10 and 12.11 (the “Consents and Waivers”), having been approved with respect to LDC by a resolution of the Board of Directors of LDC, will be, upon the execution of this Agreement, irrevocable and enforceable against LDC in accordance with their terms. The Consents and Waivers have been duly authorized by LDC, are as of the date hereof and shall be as of the Closing Date, valid, binding and enforceable against LDC in accordance with their

terms, are in effect as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, and are in compliance in all material respects with any Laws which are applicable to LDC.

(e) Choice of Law. The choice of laws of the State of Delaware in the Agreement and the Related Documents does not violate or conflict with the Tribe’s Constitution and Bylaws, the organizational documents of the Tribe or LDC (including the LDC Charter), the Charter Adoption, Charter Ratification, or any agreement or Contract to which LDC is a party or bound or any other requirement of any Law, notwithstanding the fact that the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Related Documents may have occurred on the Tribe’s reservation or the property of LDC.

EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS ARTICLE V AND IN SECTION 12.19 BUYER AND LDC DO NOT MAKE ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, AND BUYER AND LDC HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY SUCH REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

(a) Upon reasonable notice, and subject to Laws related to the exchange of information (including applicable Gaming Laws and antitrust Laws), Seller and the Company shall, and Seller shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 or the Closing, to the Company and its assets, personnel, premises, books and records and Contracts related to the operation of the Business at the Company Property (but excluding any Tax Returns not solely related to the Company), and, during such period, Seller and the Company shall, and Seller shall cause its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Buyer material information concerning the operation of the Company Property and concerning the employees located at the Company Property (with the exception of the General Manager of the Company) as Buyer may reasonably request; provided, however, that (i) Buyer shall not initiate contact with employees of Seller or the Company, other than Seller’s Vice President of Finance and Strategy and individuals designated in writing by Seller, without the prior written consent of Seller; (ii) Buyer’s Representatives shall not be entitled to perform any further environmental assessments or testing: provided, however, that if a Phase I report for the Owned Real Property and Leased Company Property is not, or is not reasonably expected to be, dated within 180 days of the Closing Date, then Seller, upon Buyer’s written request and at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, shall promptly order an update to such Phase I reports indicated in Buyer’s request using the same consultant that prepared the initial Phase I reports, and each such Phase I update shall include reasonable rights of reliance for Buyer and the Lenders subject to any applicable reliance fee and a reliance letter in a form acceptable to such consultant; (iii) Buyer shall not unreasonably interfere with the operation and support of the business located at the Company Property; (iv) Seller shall not be required to provide access to any materials if the same would be expected to jeopardize an attorney-client, attorney work product or similar legal privileges in favor of Seller or its Affiliates, so long as legal counsel has provided written confirmation to the Seller that such materials should not be provided to Buyer and such materials are not material to the operation of the Business post-Closing; (v) Seller shall not be required to provide access to any consolidated, unitary or combined Tax Returns that include the Company; and (vi) in no event shall the results of Buyer’s review of any information or Buyer’s satisfaction therewith be a condition to Buyer’s obligations hereunder, it being the intent of Buyer to purchase the Company Property on an “As Is, Where Is” basis, subject to any right of Buyer to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1; provided, further, that Seller shall not be required to make the Customer Database (at any time) or the Players List or any portions thereof (prior to Closing) available to Buyer or its Representatives; provided, further, that Seller shall not be required to make available any information related to Seller’s other operations, businesses and properties other than the Company Property.

(b) For a period of seven (7) years after Closing, upon reasonable written notice, which notice must contain valid reasons for request, Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Seller, and Seller shall furnish or caused to be furnished to Buyer, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (to the extent within the control of such Party) relating to the Business or Company Property for the period prior to the Closing. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other similar proceeding involving the business conducted by the Company for the period prior to the Closing. To the

extent permitted by Law, Buyer shall retain the books and records of the Company for a period of seven (7) years after Closing. Notwithstanding the generality of this Section 6.2(b) and Section 6.2(c), the preservation of and access to books and records relating to Taxes shall be as set forth in Section 10.5.

(c) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller may implement any changes to its systems or services that are used by Seller to provide services to the Business prior to the Closing Date in order to limit or prevent access by Buyer or the Company after the Closing Date, including placing information used in the operation or support of the Business in separate data files from data files containing other information. To the extent that there is any data, files or other information that is excluded from that which is provided to Buyer and the Company at Closing, upon written request from Buyer after the Closing, which notice must contain valid reasons for the request, Seller shall, subject to Section 12.17, furnish or cause to be furnished to Buyer, as promptly as practicable, such requested information and assistance (to the extent within the control of such Party) reasonably requested by Buyer relating to the Business or Company Property for the period prior to the Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required to furnish any information in connection with any dispute between the Parties.

6.3 Confidentiality. Each of Buyer and LDC acknowledges that the information previously provided and being provided to it in connection with the Transaction, including all information provided in accordance with Section 6.2, is being provided pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement dated as of October 28, 2015 by and between LDC and Seller (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Each of Buyer and LDC acknowledges that it is and shall remain subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which terms are incorporated herein by reference. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Buyer and LDC shall keep all material correspondence between the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, on the one hand, and Seller or the Company, on the other hand, relating to the compliance by the Company with the rules and regulations of the Gaming Authorities and the terms of their respective Gaming Approvals with respect to the Company strictly confidential and shall not disclose such information to any Person for any purpose, except as may be required by Law, following consultation with legal counsel.

6.4 Efforts to Consummate Generally.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Section 6.5, each Party (including LDC) shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Closing to occur as soon as possible after the date hereof, including satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in Article VII within the control of such Party, defending against any Proceedings, judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transaction, and seeking to have any preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, stay or other legal restraint or prohibition entered or imposed by any court or other Governmental Entity that is not yet final and non-appealable, vacated or reversed.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.4(a), each Party (including LDC) shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the other to assist in obtaining the consents, orders, authorizations and approvals set forth on Schedule 7.3(d), including participating in discussions and meetings with any Governmental Entity or any other third party

from which the foregoing consents, orders, authorizations and approvals are required and providing the Company and/or any third party with any information or documentation that such Person may reasonably request in connection with obtaining the foregoing consents, orders, authorizations and approvals; provided, however, that in each case, such efforts shall not require Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company) (x) to provide any credit support or guarantee or otherwise remain secondarily or contingently liable to obtain any such permit or consent, (y) to pay any monies or provide any other financial accommodation in connection therewith that is not already contractually required as part of the Contract pursuant to which consent is required, or (z) to threaten or commence any litigation or other Proceeding.

(c) Upon Buyer’s written request, Seller and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate from the landlord of the Leased Company Property, dated within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer and substantially similar to the form required to be delivered by the Landlord Consent; provided, however, that in each case, such efforts shall not require Seller or any of its Affiliates (i) to pay any monies or provide any other financial accommodation in connection therewith that is not already contractually required as part of the Company Lease pursuant to which such estoppel certificate has been requested, or (ii) to threaten or commence any litigation or other Proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (x) obtaining such estoppel certificate is not a condition to the Closing, (y) Seller’s failure to obtain any estoppel certificate shall not be considered a breach of any term, covenant or condition in this Agreement and shall not in any way affect any rights or obligations of any of the Parties under this Agreement, and (z) neither Seller nor its Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to Buyer or its Affiliates arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such estoppel certificate; provided, however, that nothing in the immediately preceding clause (z) shall affect the liability of Seller or its Affiliates for any breach of warranty set forth in Article IV of this Agreement or for a breach of, or failure to fulfill, the covenants set forth in Section 6.1(a).

(d) Seller and the Company shall cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, in providing any information or documentation reasonably requested by any lenders financing the purchase of the Company by Buyer, including, if necessary, providing audited financial statements, to the extent available, if required by Buyer’s lenders.

6.5 Regulatory Matters and Cooperation.

(a) Buyer, LDC and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain from Governmental Entities all consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders, including under the HSR Act and under Gaming Approvals, required to be obtained or made by Seller or Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement, as required under any applicable antitrust laws, including the HSR Act, to obtain the Governmental Approvals, and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Approvals; provided, however, that in each case, such efforts shall not require Seller or any of its

Affiliates (x) to provide any credit support or guarantee or otherwise remain secondarily or contingently liable to obtain any such permit or consent, (y) to pay any monies or provide any other financial accommodation in connection therewith, or (z) to threaten or commence any litigation or other Proceeding. With respect to all filings, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, act diligently and promptly to pursue the Governmental Approvals, including filing such additional applications, supplemental information and documents as may be required or requested by a Governmental Entity, and shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all filings referenced in the preceding sentences, including providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing Party and its advisors prior to filing and, if requested, to accept all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith, in each case, subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information (including antitrust laws and any Gaming Laws). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.5(a) to the contrary, no Party or its Affiliates shall be required hereunder to furnish to the other Party any non-public financial information, proprietary information, personal information or other confidential information regarding the officers, directors, employees, partners, shareholders of it or any of its Affiliates if such information is submitted on a confidential basis to any Governmental Entity or members of their respective staffs, whether contained in the applicable disclosure forms, business entity forms or otherwise. Buyer, LDC and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to schedule and attend any hearings or meetings with Governmental Entities to obtain the Governmental Approvals as promptly as possible. Buyer, Seller and their respective Affiliates shall have the right to review in advance and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other Parties on, in each case, subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information (including antitrust laws and any Gaming Laws), all the information relating to Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, and any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer, Seller and their respective Affiliates will notify the other Party promptly of the receipt of comments or requests from Governmental Entities relating to Governmental Approvals, and will supply the other Party with copies of all correspondence between the notifying Party or any of its Representatives and Governmental Entities with respect to Governmental Approvals, subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information (including antitrust laws and any Gaming Laws). Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information (including antitrust laws and any Gaming Laws), Buyer, LDC and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, promptly advise each other upon receiving (i) any communication from any Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such Party to reasonably believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that such consent or approval from such Governmental Entity will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed or (ii) any communication from any Governmental Entity or any other Person (x) challenging or seeking damages in connection with the Closing or any other transaction governed by this Agreement or (y) seeking to restrain or prohibit the consummation of the Closing.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.5(a), as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than twenty (20) days, after the date of this Agreement, Seller and Buyer will prepare and file (i) required or necessary notification and report forms under the HSR Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with the Antitrust Authorities and

(ii) notifications, filings, registrations and other materials required or necessary under any other applicable antitrust laws, and will respond as promptly as practicable to all requests or inquiries received from any Governmental Entity for additional documentation or information. All filing fees payable in connection with the notifications, filings, registrations or other materials contemplated by this paragraph will be paid by Buyer.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.5(a), Buyer, LDC and their respective Representatives and Affiliates shall file, or cause to be filed, with all appropriate Gaming Authorities as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement or any date set by the Gaming Authorities or any other applicable Governmental Entity, whichever is earlier, all required initial applications and documents required to be filed in connection with obtaining the Governmental Approvals, including, (i) with respect to each of the Regulated Persons, a correct and complete application for licensure or suitability that complies with applicable Gaming Laws and (ii) for each Buyer financing source and its Affiliates and any related individual qualifiers that require approvals under applicable Gaming Laws. If Buyer or its Affiliates determine or are otherwise made aware that any other Person must obtain Gaming Approval in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of being made so aware) Buyer shall provide notice thereof to Seller and as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) days) or by any date set by the Gaming Authorities, whichever is earlier, Buyer shall cause such Person to file with the Gaming Authorities a correct and complete application for licensure or suitability that complies with applicable Gaming Laws. Buyer and LDC shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their reasonable best efforts to promptly comply (and cause each such Person making an application to comply) with any request of the Gaming Authorities related to any such applications and to obtain approval of the Gaming Authorities for all such applications as promptly as reasonably practicable so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date). Buyer and LDC shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, keep Seller informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of all such applications. The Parties acknowledge that Seller intends to file or cause to be filed this Agreement for approval by, and that this Agreement is subject to the approval of, the Gaming Authorities.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.5(a), Buyer, LDC and their respective Affiliates agree to take promptly any and all steps and actions reasonably necessary to avoid or eliminate each impediment that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity or any other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including under the HSR Act and Gaming Laws) so as to enable the Closing to occur expeditiously, and in no case later than the Outside Date, including, as applicable, (i) providing information to such Persons, and (ii) proposing, negotiating, committing to, or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise: (A) the sale, divestiture, winding down or disposition of, or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of, such of Buyer’s and Buyer’s Affiliates’ (other than the Tribe itself) assets, properties, operations and businesses, or of the assets, properties, operations and Business of the Company; (B) the termination, modification, or extension of existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations of Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates (other than the Tribe itself) or the Company with respect to relationships that involve the ordinary course provision of goods and services; and (C) the disassociation from any officer,

director, employee and/or member of Buyer, LDC, Eagle or any of their respective Affiliates (except no member will be required to disassociate from the Tribe itself); provided, however, that with respect to clause (A) above, in no event shall Buyer or its Affiliates be required to (1) sell, divest, wind down or dispose of any of the casino properties listed on Schedule 6.5(d), (2) take any action that would result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, (3) take any action that would result in a material adverse effect on LDC, the Tribe, Buyer and the Company, taken as a whole, assuming for this purpose that Buyer has acquired the Equity Interests, or (4) take any illegal action. In addition, Buyer and LDC shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, oppose, through and including Proceedings on the merits (and any appeals with respect thereto), any claim asserted in any court or other forum by any Person in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would restrain or prevent the Closing by the Outside Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.5 shall require, or be construed to require, LDC or any of its Affiliates to agree to take any action that would violate LDC’s federal charter or otherwise cause LDC to lose its status as a federally charted corporation pursuant to 25 U.S.C. § 477.

(e) This Agreement is subject to the Gaming Laws and the Liquor Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that all rights, remedies and powers under this Agreement, including ownership and operation of the gaming facilities, and the possession or control of gaming equipment, alcoholic beverages or a gaming or liquor license, may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the requisite Governmental Entities. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Equity Interests is ineffective unless approved in advance by the Gaming Authorities, and that the Gaming Laws and regulations restrict the right under certain circumstances: (a) to pay or receive any dividend or interest upon such security; (b) to exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any voting right conferred by such security; or (c) to receive any remuneration in any form from the Company, for services rendered or otherwise.

6.6 No Solicitation of Acquisition Proposals. Subject to obligations imposed by Law, prior to the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, Seller and the Company shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, through any of their Representatives (i) provide to any Person any confidential information concerning the Company, the Business or the Company Property in furtherance of an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) solicit or initiate or facilitate any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) enter into any Contract with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or (iv) engage in negotiations with any Person (or group of Persons) other than Buyer or its respective Affiliates in furtherance of an Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit or restrict any action by Seller or its Affiliates or Representatives with respect to any Parent Matter (including furnishing any information in furtherance of, entering into and participating in discussions or negotiations with respect to, recommending, otherwise seeking to facilitate or implement, or entering into a definitive agreement providing for or consummating, a transaction relating to any Parent Matter) and any such actions shall not in and of themselves whatsoever constitute a breach of this Agreement. As used herein, “Parent Matter” means (i) any issuance or sale of debt or equity securities of Seller

or its Affiliates (other than the Company), (ii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving Seller or its Affiliates other than directly involving the Company (provided, however, that any such Parent Matter shall not relieve Seller or its Affiliates of their respective obligations under this Agreement), or (iii) any sale, exchange or other disposition of any asset or property of Seller or its Affiliates other than any such transaction with an unaffiliated third party directly involving the Company, the Company Property, the Equity Interests or any assets of the Company.

6.7 Expenses; Transfer Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Related Documents and the Transaction shall be paid by the Party incurring such expense, it being understood and agreed that Buyer shall be solely responsible for any filing fees under the HSR Act.

(b) Buyer and Seller shall equally bear the cost of all transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes, real property transfer gains Taxes and any filing and recording fees) and related amounts (including any penalties, interest and additions to Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Related Documents and the Transaction (“Transfer Taxes”). The Tax Returns relating to such Transfer Taxes shall be timely prepared by the Party legally obligated to make such filing. The Parties shall cooperate to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any available exemptions from any such Transfer Taxes, and to cooperate with the other parties in providing any information and documentation that may be necessary to obtain such exemptions.

(c) Buyer shall be responsible for and, to the extent paid by Seller or one of its Affiliates, reimburse Seller at Closing for the costs of all (i) title insurance (including any lender policies) incurred in connection with this Transaction, including any searches, examinations and related charges incurred in connection therewith, (ii) current surveys relating to the Owned Real Property or Leased Company Property and (iii) current Phase I reports for the Owned Real Property and Leased Company Property, including, if applicable, any update to such Phase I reports pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(ii).

6.8 Publicity. Each of Seller, Buyer and LDC shall agree on the form and content of any press release regarding the Transaction and thereafter until the Closing Date shall consult with each other before issuing, provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon and use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon, any press release or other public statement with respect to any of the Transaction. Seller, LDC, Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and prior to considering in good faith any such comments, except as may be required by Law (including the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any Gaming Laws) or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system, it being understood and agreed that Seller intends to file Current Reports on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, from the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller or its respective Affiliates may make any

public statement in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are not inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by Buyer (or LDC) and Seller and do not reveal non-public information relating to the other Party.

6.9 Disclosures. Each disclosure Schedule delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall qualify this Agreement. Descriptions of terms or documents summarized in the Schedules shall be qualified in their entirety by the documents themselves. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Seller may disclose to Buyer in writing (in the form of updated disclosure Schedules) any development, fact or circumstance arising after the date hereof causing a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and of any breach of the covenants in this Agreement made by Seller or the Company. Any updated disclosure Schedules shall amend and supplement the appropriate disclosure Schedules delivered on the date hereof and attached hereto; provided that, such disclosures shall not be deemed to amend and supplement the appropriate disclosure Schedules for purposes of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII or Buyer’s ability to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII. Upon the Closing, the delivery of any such updated disclosure Schedules will be deemed to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of such inaccuracy or breach and Buyer shall not have any claim (whether for indemnification or otherwise) against Seller or any of its Affiliates for any such breach or inaccuracy.

6.10 Employee Matters.

(a) As of the Closing Date, Buyer and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) shall continue to employ all of those individuals who are immediately prior to the Closing Date employed by the Company (such individuals, the “Continuing Employees”) with compensation and benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those in effect with respect to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(b) For a period of sixty (60) days following the date of this Agreement (unless Seller otherwise agrees in writing to extend such period) (such period, as may be so extended, the “Consultation Period”), Buyer may (i) interview at a reasonable time arranged through Seller’s Vice President of Finance and Strategy (and any individuals as may be designated in writing by Seller) and (ii) at Buyer’s election, make offers of employment, to those employees of Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company) who are listed on Schedule 6.10(b) (the “Offered Employees”), which offers of employment, if any, shall comply with the terms and conditions of Section 6.10(a) as if the Offered Employees were Continuing Employees. Any Offered Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment during the Consultation Period shall be deemed to be a Continuing Employee as of the Closing Date for purposes of this Section 6.10. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the actual severance costs and expenses (excluding any Stay Bonuses), if any, incurred by Seller under any written employment agreement, severance plan or other arrangement providing for termination benefits with respect to any Offered Employee who accepts Buyer’s offer of employment. From and after the Consultation Period until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the earlier of the date of any termination of this Agreement and the Closing Date, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including, after the

Closing, the Company) shall, directly or indirectly, employ or solicit for employment (or other provision of services), either as an employee, consultant, agent or representative, any Offered Employee who does not accept an offer of employment from Buyer during the Consultation Period (irrespective of whether Buyer makes an offer of employment to such Offered Employee).

(c) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in any event no later than two weeks following the Closing Date), Seller shall pay the amount indicated on Schedule A, if any, payable pursuant to those certain retention letter agreements identified on Schedule A as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and any payroll and employment Taxes applicable thereto) (each, a “Stay Bonus” and, collectively, the “Stay Bonuses”). For the avoidance of doubt, the liability for and obligation to pay any remaining unpaid portion of the Stay Bonuses (and any payroll and employment Taxes applicable thereto) shall be the responsibility of Buyer or one of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) following the Closing and any portion of the Stay Bonuses payable by Buyer and its Affiliates shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the arrangements evidencing the applicable Stay Bonus and applicable Law.

(d) Effective as of the Closing, all Continuing Employees shall cease to participate in all Company Benefit Plans.

(e) To the extent applicable with respect to employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements that are established or maintained by Buyer for the benefit of Continuing Employees, Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) shall be given credit for their service with the Company and its Affiliates (including Seller) (i) for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and, for purposes of vacation and severance (but no other purpose), benefit accrual to the extent such service was taken into account under a corresponding Company Benefit Plan, and (ii) for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations; provided, however, that such service need not be credited in accordance with this Section 6.10(e) to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits.

(f) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Section 6.10 and for the avoidance of doubt:

(i) If the Closing Date occurs after the last day of the Seller’s fiscal year ended April 23, 2017, Buyer shall cause the Company to assume liability for, and to pay to each Continuing Employee who is employed by the Company as and when due, the annual bonus to which the Continuing Employee is entitled under Seller’s annual performance bonus plan (the “Annual Bonus Arrangement”) for such fiscal year (to the extent not paid as of the Closing Date); provided, that an accrued liability in respect of such amounts is included on the Final Closing Statement.

(ii) For the fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs, Buyer shall cause the Company to pay to each Continuing Employee who is employed by the Company an annual bonus which is no less than the annual bonus that such Continuing Employee would have received under the Annual Bonus Arrangement for such fiscal year

had the Closing Date not occurred; provided, that an accrued liability in respect of amounts accrued through the Closing Date is included on the Final Closing Statement.

(iii) Buyer shall cause the Company to provide severance payments and benefits to any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date which are no less favorable than the severance benefits that would have been paid to such Continuing Employee under Seller’s written severance plan as in effect on the Closing Date for a termination under comparable circumstances, a copy of which plan is set forth on Schedule 6.10(f)(iii).

(g) Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be incurred by, or asserted against, Seller arising out of or relating to Buyer’s failure, if any, to comply with the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act or any similar state Laws with respect to the Continuing Employees.

(h) Except for those Continuing Employees who are employed by Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 6.10, Buyer agrees that for a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date which is eighteen (18) months after the earlier of the date of any termination of this Agreement and the Closing Date, it shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to), directly or indirectly, solicit or hire for employment or in any other capacity any individual who is currently, or at any time becomes, employed by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company subsequent to the Closing), until such individual has been separated from such employment for at least forty-five (45) days (and subject to the restrictions in Section 6.10(b)), unless Seller provides Buyer specific prior written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.10(h) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(i) Nothing in this Section 6.10, whether express or implied, shall confer upon any Person who is not a Party to this Agreement, including any Continuing Employee, any right to employment or recall, any right to continued employment, any right to compensation or benefits, or any other right of any kind or nature whatsoever and nothing contained herein shall be treated as an amendment of any Company Benefit Plan.

6.11 Termination of Affiliate Contracts. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (other than the Company), on the one hand, and the Company and its Affiliates, on the other hand, to terminate the Affiliate Contracts effective as of the Effective Time (the “Termination of Affiliate Contracts”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Affiliate Contracts that are enterprise-level Contracts maintained by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Company), Seller shall terminate only the Company’s rights and obligations with respect to such Contracts. The Termination of Affiliate Contracts shall be without liability or loss to the Company.

6.12 Reservations; Chips; Front Money.

(a) Reservations. Buyer will honor the terms and rates of all reservations (in accordance with their terms) made prior to the Closing at the Company Property by guests or customers, including advance reservation Cash deposits, for rooms or services confirmed by

Seller or the Company for dates on or after the Closing Date in the ordinary course of business of the Business located at the Company Property. Buyer recognizes that such reservations may include discounts or other benefits, including benefits extended under the Isle of Capri Fan Club Card or any other frequent player or casino awards programs, group discounts, other discounts or requirements that food, beverage or other benefits be delivered by Buyer to the guest(s) holding such reservations; provided, that all such discounts or other benefits shall be provided in the ordinary course of business of operating and supporting the Business located at the Company Property. Buyer will honor all room allocation agreements and banquet facility and service agreements which have been granted to groups, persons or other customers that (i) have been entered into as of the date hereof, or (ii) are entered into in the ordinary course of business of operating and supporting the Business located at the Company Property, at the rates and terms provided in such agreements.

(b) Redemption and Destruction of Chips and Tokens. From the Effective Time until a date that is no later than the expiration date of the Transitional IP License, the Company may continue to use the Seller’s Chips that were in use prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall, if required by the applicable Gaming Laws, submit a plan to the relevant Gaming Authorities at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Transitional IP License, or such earlier date required by the Gaming Authorities, for the redemption and destruction of all Seller’s Chips used by the Company that bear any Isle Trademarks. After such plan is approved by the relevant Gaming Authorities (or not later than the expiration date of the Transitional IP License, if no such approval is necessary), Buyer shall redeem for Cash all of the Seller’s Chips that bear any Isle Trademarks issued by the Company at the Company Property for a period of not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days. Following the expiration date of the Transitional IP License, except in connection with the redemption and destruction of the Seller’s Chips described in such plan, Buyer shall cease to issue or use (and Buyer shall not reissue or reuse) any Seller’s Chips of the Company or Seller. After the Closing, Buyer shall be solely responsible and liable for compliance with applicable Gaming Laws and regulations of Gaming Authorities with respect to operation and support of the Business subsequent to Closing, including any obligation to redeem and destroy Seller’s Chips; provided, however, that Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any of Seller’s Chips redeemed by Buyer or the Company that was not set forth on the list described in Section 3.4(a) of this Agreement.

(c) Front Money.

for the continued operation of the Company post-Closing in the ordinary course, cause Buyer or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller and any of its Affiliates (other than the Company) (each, a “Released Party” and collectively, the “Released Parties”) in respect of all liabilities of the Released Parties under, each guarantee, deposit or letter of credit of or relating to liabilities (including under any Material Contract, Contract, Company Lease or other lease of Leased Real Property) of the Company, including those set forth on Schedule 6.13(a)(i) (“Guarantees”); provided, however, that Seller shall remain solely responsible for any amounts payable to the extent related to the period prior to the Closing under any Guarantee, and (ii) cause Buyer or one of its Affiliates to have surety bonds (and any necessary collateral, indemnity or other agreements associated therewith), or other security acceptable to the applicable obligee, issued on behalf of Buyer or one of its Affiliates in replacement of all surety bonds (and all collateral, indemnity and other agreements associated therewith) issued on behalf of the Released Parties for the benefit of the Company that are required for the continued operation of the Company in the ordinary course, including those set forth on Schedule 6.13(a)(ii) (the “Surety Bonds”); provided, however, that Seller shall remain solely responsible for any amounts payable to the extent related to the period prior to the Closing under any Surety Bond that was not so replaced. In the case of the failure to do so by the Closing, then, following Closing, Seller, Buyer and the Company (which will then be owned by Buyer) shall continue to cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts as described in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, with respect to the Guarantees under the Company Lease, prior to the Closing, (1) Buyer, LDC or one of their respective Affiliates shall post a certificate of deposit, cash deposit or other cash collateral in replacement of any existing certificate of deposit, cash deposit or other cash collateral previously posted by Seller, in amounts and on terms required by the landlord under the Landlord Consent and (2) LDC shall provide a guarantee of the Company’s obligations under the Company Lease in replacement of any existing guarantee previously provided by Seller on the terms required under the Landlord Consent.

To the extent that any Released Party has performance obligations under any such Guarantee or Surety Bond related to the period from and after the Closing, Buyer, the Company (which will then be owned by Buyer) and, solely with respect to the Guarantees under the Company Lease, LDC, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to (I) fully perform or cause to be fully performed such obligations on behalf of such Released Party or (II) otherwise take such action as reasonably requested by Seller so as to place such Released Party in the same position as if Buyer, the

Company (which will then be owned by Buyer) or LDC (solely with respect to the Guarantees under the Company Lease), and not such Released Party, had performed or was performing such obligations.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Seller, Buyer and LDC shall cooperate and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to, effective as of the Closing, on terms reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer, (i) terminate or cause to be terminated, or cause Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than the Company) to be substituted in all respects for the Company in respect of all liabilities of the Company under, each guarantee, deposit or letter of credit of or relating to liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company), including those set forth on Schedule 6.13(b)(i) (“Company Guarantees”), and (ii) cause Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than the Company) to have surety bonds (and any necessary collateral, indemnity or other agreements associated therewith) issued on behalf of Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than the Company) in replacement of all surety bonds (and all collateral, indemnity and other agreements associated therewith) issued on behalf of the Company for the benefit of Seller or one of its Affiliates (other than the Company), including those set forth on Schedule 6.13(b)(ii) (the “Company Surety Bonds”).

Buyer will be solely responsible for acquiring and placing fire and casualty insurance, business interruption insurance, liability insurance, property insurance, marine insurance, workers’ compensation insurance and other insurance policies for the Buyer Insureds for all periods on and after the Closing Date. Buyer acknowledges that all insurance policies or proceeds thereof, or receivables or indemnities coverage thereunder, of Seller or any of its Affiliates (the “Seller Insurance Policies”) are being retained by, and assets of, Seller and, following the Closing, Seller will reasonably cooperate with Buyer to file any claims that may be appropriately brought by the Company under any Seller Insurance Policy because the events underlying such claim arose prior to the Closing.

(b) Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) to, upon request by and at the expense of Seller or its Affiliates, reasonably cooperate in connection with any Pre-Closing Claims and shall assist and cooperate in asserting or submitting claims relating to such claims or any other liabilities to the extent of the insurance coverage available to Seller or its Affiliates under the Seller Insurance Policies for periods prior to the Closing.

Not later than twenty (20) Business Days after the Closing Date, Seller shall delete from the Customer Database all of the Exclusive Players, including all Personal Identifying Information regarding such Exclusive Players; provided, however, that Seller may maintain a copy of any such data deleted from the Customer Database pursuant to this Section 6.20(b) to the extent required to comply with applicable Law; provided, further, that Seller shall not be required to delete electronic copies of such data which reside only in backups or archives that are not generally accessible by persons other than Seller’s information technology and legal or compliance personnel, or which are retrievable only using forensic computer recovery techniques.

(d) Seller acknowledges that a breach of this Section 6.20 may give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach by Seller of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other equitable relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.

regardless of form, or (iii) acquires all or a portion of the business or assets of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, whether in an asset purchase, reorganization or other transaction regardless of form, but only to the extent of such assets; provided, however, that if Seller or any of its controlled Affiliates sells a Subsidiary of Seller (whether in a sale of the equity interests or all or substantially all of the assets of the Subsidiary) and such Subsidiary accounts for more than fifty percent (50%) of Seller’s revenue (determined by reference to the most recent annual revenue of the applicable entities), the terms and provisions of this Section 6.20 shall apply to such Subsidiary entity (in a sale of the equity interests) or to the assets of such Subsidiary (in a sale of all or substantially all of the assets), but only to the extent of such assets; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the acquirer of such Subsidiary of Seller or all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary of Seller shall not, nor shall its Affiliates, be bound by this Section 6.20 with respect to any of their assets or businesses other than such newly acquired Subsidiary continuing to be bound by this Section 6.20 (in a sale of the equity interests) or the acquired assets of such Subsidiary (in a sale of all or substantially all of the assets), as applicable. In the event Seller sells all or substantially all of the assets of Seller, the acquirer thereof would not have the right to commercially use any information on any copy of the Exclusive Players list that is maintained by Seller in accordance with the restrictions in Section 6.20(b).

(f) Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.20 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.20 should ever be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any such court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law.

Neither Buyer nor HoldCo, nor any of their respective Affiliates on their behalf, shall agree to or permit any termination of the Financing.

Each of Buyer and LDC shall keep Seller informed as to all material developments affecting any Financing or alternative financing.

(c) Subject to the rights of the parties to the agreements governing the Financing under the terms of such agreements, none of the Parties, nor or any of their respective Affiliates, solely in their respective capacities as parties to this Agreement or any document related to this Agreement, shall have any rights or claims against any Lender, solely in their respective capacities as lenders, credit providers, agents, trustees, representatives or arrangers in connection with the Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. Subject to the rights of the parties to the agreements governing a LDC Financing under the terms of such agreements, none of the Parties, nor or any of their respective Affiliates, solely in their respective capacities as parties to this Agreement or any document related to this Agreement, shall have any rights or claims against any LDC Financing Source, solely in their respective capacities as lenders, credit providers, agents, trustees, representatives or arrangers in connection with any LDC Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.21(c) shall not limit in any manner any remedy of the Seller Indemnified Parties against Buyer, LDC or any of their respective successors or assigns (whether by merger, combination or other reorganization) under this Agreement, including any remedy against Buyer, LDC or any of their respective successors or assigns (whether by merger, combination or other reorganization) for breach of any arrangements related to the Financing, the Commitment Letter, any LDC Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the foregoing or any of the

transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, but subject in all cases to the terms set forth in this Agreement.

6.22 Risk of Loss Relating to Real Property. If there shall occur any material damage or destruction of any Owned Real Property or Leased Company Property (collectively, the “Subject Real Property”), including damage or destruction resulting from weather such as natural disasters, faulty construction, fire or flood, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer thereof and, to the extent known, of the scope and estimated amount of such damage or destruction.

(a) Minor Loss. Buyer shall be bound to consummate the Transaction as required by the terms hereof with respect to the Company, without regard to the occurrence or effect of any such material damage or destruction of any of such Subject Real Property; provided, that: (i) the cost to repair any such damage or destruction to the Subject Real Property is less than or equal to $10,000,000 (a “Minor Loss”) in the estimate of an architect or contractor mutually and reasonably agreeable to Buyer and Seller; and (ii) Buyer shall have the option (A) for a period of twenty (20) days after receipt of Seller’s notice of the occurrence of a Minor Loss, upon written notice to Seller, to delay the Closing until such time as Seller has repaired the damage to such Subject Real Property to the condition that existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction, reasonable wear and tear excepted, but in no event shall such delay exceed a period of forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of a Minor Loss notwithstanding the failure to complete such repairs by such time, after which time Buyer shall be obligated to close the Transaction on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement or (B) to close the Transaction on the terms and subject to the condition of this Agreement notwithstanding the failure to complete such repair of such Subject Real Property, whereupon Seller shall pay Buyer at the Closing, from any insurance proceeds or otherwise should adequate insurance proceeds not then be available, the remaining cost to repair the damage to the condition that existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Seller’s notice of the occurrence of a Minor Loss shall be deemed to amend and supplement the appropriate disclosure Schedules and cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of such Minor Loss for purposes of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VII or remedies under Article IX, subject to Seller’s obligation to pay Buyer the amounts under this Section 6.22(a).

(b) Major Loss. If the cost to repair the material damage or destruction to any Subject Real Property exceeds $10,000,000 (a “Major Loss”) in the estimate of an architect or contractor mutually and reasonably agreeable to Buyer and Seller, then Buyer or Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement, such election to be effective only if exercised (i) by Buyer in writing within forty-five (45) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s notice of the occurrence of such damage or destruction or (ii) by Seller in writing within forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction. If either Buyer or Seller elects to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof as provided in this Section 6.22(b), then this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with Article VIII and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. If neither Party gives timely written notice of termination of this Agreement within the time period required herein, then this Agreement shall not terminate and Seller shall promptly commence the repair of the damage to such Subject Real Property to the condition that existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and at the Closing, if Seller shall not have returned such Subject Real Property to

the condition that existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction, reasonable wear and tear excepted, there shall be a credit against the Closing Payment hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction (but not business interruption insurance proceeds), plus the amount of any insurance deductible, self-insured retention or similar amount with respect to any damaged or destroyed Subject Real Property, less any sums expended by Seller or the Company toward the restoration or repair of such Subject Real Property. If such proceeds have not been collected as of the Closing Date and the Subject Real Property has not been returned to the condition that existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction, reasonable wear and tear excepted, then there shall be a credit against the Closing Payment due hereunder equal to the amount of the insurance deductible, self-insured retention or similar amount with respect to such damaged or destroyed Subject Real Property, and such proceeds (but not business interruption insurance proceeds) shall be assigned to Buyer (and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer after the Closing to collect such proceeds), except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to repair or restore the damaged or destroyed Subject Real Property, and Seller shall retain the rights to such proceeds to such extent. Seller’s notice of the occurrence of a Major Loss shall be deemed to amend and supplement the appropriate disclosure Schedules and cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of such Major Loss for purposes of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII or remedies under Article IX, subject to Seller’s obligation to pay Buyer the amounts under this Section 6.22(b) and the termination rights under this Section 6.22(b).

(c) Condemnation. In the event all or any material portion of any Subject Real Property is taken by eminent domain or becomes subject to a taking by eminent domain or a deed in lieu of condemnation prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of the same (the “Eminent Domain Notice”), and each of Seller and Buyer, at its option to be exercised in writing within ten (10) days after receipt by Buyer of the Eminent Domain Notice, may either, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement or proceed with the Closing as set forth herein and in such case, Buyer shall accept title to all of such Subject Real Property subject to such taking or proceeding, together with an assignment of all of Seller’s rights and interest in and to any proceeds or compensation in connection with such taking or proceeding other than as provided herein and a credit against the Closing Payment for any amounts previously paid to Seller as condemnation proceeds or compensation in connection therewith, other than as provided herein, less the amount of the aggregate proceeds reasonably required to compensate Seller for the loss of revenue for the pre-Closing period related to such eminent domain or taking (but only to the extent Seller has not recovered or may not recover such amounts pursuant to business interruption insurance, which Seller must either pursue in good faith or assign to Buyer) which portion of the proceeds shall be retained by Seller or paid over to Seller, as applicable. If Seller or Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement by delivering a timely written notice thereof to the other Party within such 10-day period, then this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with Article VIII and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer; and otherwise Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Seller’s Eminent Domain Notice shall be deemed to amend and supplement the appropriate disclosure Schedules and cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of such matter disclosed in the Eminent Domain Notice for purposes of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII or remedies under Article IX, subject to Seller’s obligation to

pay Buyer the amounts under this Section 6.22(c) and the termination rights under this Section 6.22(c).

The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) in no event shall Seller’s failure to perform or complete the Property Repairs be considered a breach of any term, covenant or condition in this Agreement and shall not in any way affect any rights or obligations of any of the Parties under this Agreement, other than the calculation of the amount of the Repair Credit, and (b) neither Seller nor its Affiliates shall have any liability

7.5 Waiver of Conditions. All conditions to the Closing shall be deemed to have been satisfied or waived from and after the Closing.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

8.1 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;

(b) by either Buyer or Seller, by written notice to the other Party, if the Closing has not taken place on or before the date which is twelve (12) months from the date hereof (as may be extended hereunder, the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that if the Closing of the Transaction shall not have been consummated by the Outside Date solely for the failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth under Sections 7.1(a), 7.2(c), 7.3(c) or 7.3(d) and the satisfaction of such conditions remains reasonably possible, the Outside Date may be extended by Buyer (in the case of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1(a) or 7.2(c)) or by Seller (in the case of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1(a), 7.2(c), 7.3(c) or 7.3(d)), by written notice given to Buyer or Seller, as applicable, for up to an additional forty-five (45) days (the “Initial Extension Period”); provided, further, that if the Closing of the Transaction shall not have been consummated by the end of the Initial Extension Period solely for the failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth under Sections 7.1(a), 7.2(c), 7.3(c) or 7.3(d) and the satisfaction of such conditions remains reasonably possible, the Outside Date may be further extended by Seller by written notice given to Buyer, for up to an additional forty-five (45) days after the Initial Extension Period; provided, further, that (i) Seller shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) if Seller or the Company has failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise breached this Agreement and such failure or breach has been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date or the Initial Extension Period (if applicable) and (ii) Buyer shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) if Buyer or its Affiliates has failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise breached this Agreement and such failure or breach has been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date or the Initial Extension Period (if applicable);

(c) by Seller, by written notice to Buyer, (i) if Buyer shall at any time, directly or indirectly, withdraw its or its Affiliates’ application for any Gaming Approval, or (ii) if any Gaming Authority shall have made a determination, including issuing any legal constraint or prohibition, that a Gaming Authority will not issue all Closing Gaming Approvals on or prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to Seller if Seller’s failure (or Seller’s Affiliate’s failure) to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, a Gaming Authority making such determination not to issue a Closing Gaming Approval;

(d) by either Buyer or Seller, by written notice to the other Party, if the non-terminating Party shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, which breach would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section

7.2(a) or (b) (if a breach by Seller) or Section 7.3(a) or (b) (if a breach by Buyer), and such breach, if of a type that can be cured, shall not have been cured by the non-terminating Party or waived by the terminating Party within twenty (20) days after notice thereof from the terminating Party or, if earlier, by the date immediately preceding the Outside Date; provided, however, that if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such twenty (20) day period but can be reasonably cured prior to the Outside Date, and the non-terminating Party is diligently proceeding to cure such breach, this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 8.1(d); provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) shall not be available to the terminating Party if the terminating Party shall have materially breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, which material breach was the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, the breach of the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the non-terminating Party for which this Agreement may have been terminated under this Section 8.1(d);

(e) by either Buyer or Seller, by written notice to the other Party, if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity (other than any Gaming Authority) shall have issued a permanent injunction, cease and desist order or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, injunction, restraint or prohibition shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) shall not be available to any Party whose failure (or whose Affiliate’s failure) to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, such order, injunction, restraint or prohibition; or

(f) by either Buyer or Seller, by written notice to the other Party, as provided in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 6.22(b) or 6.22(c).

8.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 8.1, all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, except that the provisions of Sections 6.3 (Confidentiality), 6.7(a) (Expenses), 6.8 (Publicity), Section 6.10(h) (Non-solicitation of Seller Employees), Section 6.21(b) (Financing), this Article VIII (Termination) and Article XII (General Provisions) will survive. Nothing in this Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 shall be deemed to release any Party from any liability for any actual fraud in the making of the representations and warranties hereunder or willful misconduct by such Party with respect to such Party’s obligations under this Agreement. The phrase “willful misconduct” shall be interpreted throughout this Agreement to mean that the Party who engaged in “willful misconduct” acted purposely with the conscious object of breaching the terms or provisions of this Agreement or otherwise causing the failure of a condition to such Party’s obligation to close the Transaction to occur; provided, however, that (a) if Buyer and LDC have complied with their respective obligations under Section 6.21(a) (Financing), and the lenders nonetheless fail to fund the debt financing component of the Financing, such failure by Buyer to obtain the proceeds of such debt financing from the lenders necessary to pay the Purchase Price and the failure to effectuate the Closing as a result thereof shall not be “willful misconduct”, and (b) if Buyer and LDC have complied with their respective obligations under Section 6.5 (Regulatory Matters and Cooperation), and any Governmental Entity and/or Gaming Authority nonetheless fails to provide the required Governmental Approvals or Closing Gaming Approvals necessary to consummate the Transaction, such failure by Buyer and LDC to obtain the Governmental

Approvals and/or Closing Gaming Approvals necessary to effectuate the Closing as a result thereof shall not be “willful misconduct”.

8.3 Application of the Deposit.

(a) In the event the Parties terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.1(a), or 8.1(f), then Seller shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days, pay to Buyer as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy, the Deposit, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, which the Parties acknowledge and agree is reasonable under the circumstances.

(b) In the event that Buyer validly terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b), 8.1(d), or 8.1(e), and, at the time of such termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b), 8.1(d) or 8.1(e), (i) Seller shall not also be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to any of Section 8.1(b), 8.1(d), and 8.1(e) and (ii) the conditions in Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) are each satisfied (except, with respect to a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(e), the satisfaction of the condition in Section 7.1(b) shall not be required), then Seller shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days, pay to Buyer, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy, the Deposit, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, which the Parties acknowledge and agree is reasonable under the circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall more than one payment of the Deposit be made to Buyer under this Agreement.

(c) Upon any termination of this Agreement not expressly provided in Section 8.3(a) or 8.3(b), the Deposit shall be retained by Seller free and clear of any adverse right or claim. Prior to the Closing, entitlement to the Deposit pursuant to this Section 8.3(c) shall in no way limit, diminish, or waive any right of Seller or its Affiliates to recover additional damages from or exercise any other remedies at law or in equity against Buyer or any of its Affiliates with respect to actual fraud or any willful misconduct by Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

(d) Nothing in this Section 8.3 or any other provision of this Agreement shall in any way limit, diminish or waive the right of a Party to pursue specific performance remedies; provided, however, that if Seller terminates this Agreement, Seller’s rights and remedies shall be limited to retaining the Deposit, absent actual fraud or willful misconduct by Buyer or its Affiliates.

ARTICLE IX

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. The representations and warranties made by Seller, Buyer and LDC in this Agreement shall generally survive the Closing until (and claims based upon or arising out of such representations and warranties may be asserted at any time before) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that with respect to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.4, 4.11, 4.13, 4.20, 5.1, 5.2, 5.5, 5.6, 5.8, 5.11, 12.19(a) and 12.19(b)(iii) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), such Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing until (and claims based upon or arising out of such representations and warranties may be asserted at any time before) the statute of limitations with respect to such matters or, if no statute of limitations is

applicable, indefinitely. Any covenants and agreements in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed only during the pre-Closing period, including Section 6.1, shall terminate at the Closing, and all other covenants and agreements of the Parties and LDC in this Agreement shall survive the Closing without any contractual limitation on the period of survival (except to the extent, if any, that a period is otherwise expressly set forth in such covenant or agreement or herein in connection with the applicable covenant or agreement). The period of time a representation or warranty or covenant or agreement survives the Closing pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be the applicable “Survival Period” with respect to such representation or warranty or covenant. The obligation to indemnify pursuant to Section 9.2 shall terminate upon expiration of the applicable Survival Period, unless an Indemnified Party shall have made a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article IX prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period. The termination of the applicable Survival Period for the representations and warranties or a covenant and agreement provided herein shall not affect a Party’s indemnification claim if such Party has made such claim in reasonable detail in writing and such written claim is received by the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period. No claim may be brought based upon, directly or indirectly, any of the representations and warranties or a covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement after the applicable Survival Period with respect to such representation or warranty or covenant or agreement.

9.2 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs, liabilities, demands and expenses (whether or not arising out of Third-Party Claims), including interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Damages”), incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller or the Company in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of Seller at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (or in each case such earlier date provided in such representation or warranty);

(ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made, or to be performed, by Seller or its Affiliates on or after Closing, or by the Company, prior to or at the Closing, in this Agreement;

(iii) any Pre-Closing Claims; or

(iv) any Excluded Indebtedness.

(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer or LDC in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of Buyer or LDC at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (or in each case such earlier date provided in such representation or warranty);

(ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made, or to be performed, by Buyer or its Affiliates (including, after Closing, the Company) in this Agreement; or

(iii) the ownership, use, operation or maintenance of the Company or the Company Property, including the operation and support of the business located at the Company Property (including the Business), for matters arising after the Effective Time.

(c) From and after the Closing, LDC shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Damages incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by LDC in Article V (including the representations and warranties in Section 5.11 and otherwise to the extent LDC is specifically identified in Article V), Section 12.19, or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of LDC at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (or in each case such earlier date provided in such representation or warranty); or

(ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made, or to be performed, by LDC in this Agreement.

9.3 Interpretation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as used in this Article IX, the term Damages shall not include any consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive or special damages, claims for lost profits or lost business opportunities, diminution in value, multiple of profits or other valuation methodology, or any similar damages, except to the extent actually awarded to a Governmental Entity or other third party.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX for any Damages (i) to the extent arising as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, (ii) to the extent arising from a change in Law, accounting policies, or interpretations thereof after the date hereof, (iii) to the extent taken into account in calculating the Closing Payment pursuant to Section 3.1(a), (iv) to the extent repaired, paid for or otherwise remedied or addressed pursuant to Section 6.22, or (v) if such Damage is accrued, provided or reserved for in, or otherwise taken into account in connection with, the Working Capital adjustment pursuant to Article III.

9.4 Procedure for Claims between Parties. If a claim for Damages is to be made by a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2, such party shall give written notice briefly describing the claim in reasonable detail and the total monetary Damages sought (each, a “Notice”) to the indemnifying party pursuant to Section 9.2 (the “Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Article IX. Any failure to submit any such Notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually prejudiced by such failure.

9.5 Defense of Third-Party Claims. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against an Indemnified Party by any third Person (each, a “Third-Party Claim”) for which indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 may be sought, Notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable. 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 prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (if it so elects) at its own cost, risk and expense, (a) to take control of the defense and investigation of such Third-Party Claim, (b) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (provided that such attorneys are reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) to handle and defend the same, unless the named parties to such Proceeding include both one or more Indemnifying Parties and an Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to an applicable Indemnifying Party such that a conflict of interest exists that would make separate representation appropriate under applicable principles and canons of legal representation, in which event such Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel (provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party), and (c) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only (i) with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or (ii) if such compromise or settlement contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim. 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 and shall provide the Indemnifying Party all reasonably requested documents, including a power of attorney; 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. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Party’s reasonable cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that such claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified

Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.

9.6 Limitations on Indemnity.

(a) No Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party shall seek, or be entitled to, indemnification under Sections 9.2(a)(i) or (a)(ii), 9.2(b)(i) or (b)(ii) or 9.2(c)(i) unless (i) the aggregate amount of Damages of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, with respect to any individual claim exceeds $35,000 (the “Minimum Amount”), and (ii) the aggregate amount of the individual claims for Damages (each of which is greater than the Minimum Amount) of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, for which indemnification is sought (x) exceeds $500,000 (the “Threshold”) and (y) is less than an amount equal to $10,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of all individual claims for Damages (each of which is greater than the Minimum Amount) for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(i) or (a)(ii), 9.2(b)(i) or (b)(ii) or 9.2(c)(i), as applicable, equals or exceeds the Threshold, then Buyer or Seller, as applicable, subject to the limitations in this Article IX, shall be entitled to recover only such Damages (each of which is greater than the Minimum Amount) that are in excess of the Threshold once the Threshold has been met, but in any event not to exceed the Cap (it being agreed that except as provided below, in no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid under Sections 9.2(a)(i) or (a)(ii), 9.2(b)(i) or (b)(ii) or 9.2(c)(i) exceed an amount equal to the Cap). The limitations contained in this Section 9.6(a) shall not apply to Fundamental Representations, representations and warranties contained in Section 4.7(h) (to the extent they become operative pursuant to the terms thereof) or claims pursuant to Sections 9.2(a)(iii), 9.2(a)(iv) or 10.1(a).

(b) In calculating the amount of any Damages payable to a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IX, the amount of the Damages (i) shall not be duplicative of any other Damage for which an indemnification claim has been made and (ii) shall be computed net of (A) any amounts actually recovered or recoverable by such Indemnified Party under any insurance policy, title policy, or other right to recovery from a third party or otherwise with respect to such Damages (net of any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery) and (B) any Tax benefit realized or to be realized by the Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) arising from the facts or circumstances giving rise to such Damages. If an Indemnifying Party pays an Indemnified Party for a claim and subsequently insurance proceeds in respect of such claim are collected by the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party promptly shall remit the insurance proceeds (net of any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such insurance proceeds) to Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from any applicable insurance company any insurance proceeds in respect of any claim for which the Indemnified Parties seek indemnification under this Article IX. Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages that the Indemnified Party asserts or that it could reasonably be expected to assert under this Article IX. Furthermore, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have no right to make a claim for any Damages to the extent such Damage is primarily a possible or potential Damage that the Buyer Indemnified Parties believe may be asserted rather than a Damage that has, in fact, been paid or incurred by the Buyer Indemnified

Parties. Attorney, consultant, and other professional fees and disbursements incurred by an Indemnifying Party in connection with this Article IX shall be reasonable.

(c) To the extent that an Indemnifying Party pays on an indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2, and the Indemnified Party has a claim against a third party (other than the Indemnifying Party), then the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the claim of the Indemnified Party to the extent of the amount of indemnification paid by the Indemnifying Party and to the extent such payments are duplicative of amounts due to the Indemnified Party.

(d) In no event shall a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party be entitled to recover twice for the same Damages.

(e) Any claim of indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) for Damages in respect of Taxes shall be limited to such Damages incurred with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(f) In no event shall a Buyer Indemnified Party seek, or be entitled to, indemnification under this Article IX for Damages in an amount exceeding the Purchase Price.

9.7 Payment of Damages. An Indemnified Party shall be paid in Cash by an Indemnifying Party the amount to which such Indemnified Party may become entitled by reason of the provisions of this Article IX, within fifteen (15) days after such amount is determined either by mutual agreement of the Parties or on the date on which both such amount and an Indemnified Party’s obligation to pay such amount have been determined by a final judgment of a court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Proceeding.

9.8 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article IX and Section 10.1(a) and all payments made pursuant to Section 3.5(h) shall be treated by the Parties for Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by Law.

9.9 Exclusive Remedy. Except to the extent of claims alleging fraud in the making of the representations and warranties hereunder, and except pursuant to the terms of Section 3.5, after the Closing, the indemnities provided in Section 6.13, Section 9.2 or Article X shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party for Damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims regarding matters arising under or otherwise relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that this exclusive remedy for Damages does not preclude a Party from bringing an action after the Closing for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other agreements contemplated hereby to be entered into by the Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer, LDC and Seller each hereby waive (and, by their acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement, each Buyer Indemnified Party and Seller Indemnified Party hereby waives), from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, actual fraud in the making of the representations and warranties hereunder and claims arising under Section 3.5) such Party may have against any other Party, any Lender or any LDC Financing Source arising under or based upon this Agreement or any schedule, exhibit, Schedule, document or certificate delivered in connection

herewith, and no legal action under any Laws, including Environmental Laws or otherwise, sounding in tort, statute or strict liability may be maintained by any Party (other than a legal action brought solely to enforce the provisions of this Article IX, Article X, Section 3.5 or the provisions of any other agreement executed pursuant to this Agreement) and, following the consummation of the Transaction, in no event shall any Party be entitled to any remedy of rescission of the Transaction.

ARTICLE X

TAX MATTERS

10.1 Tax Returns; and Certain Other Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and Seller for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:

(a) Seller will include the income of the Company on Seller’s consolidated federal income Tax Returns (and, to the extent applicable, state Tax Returns) for all periods through the Closing Date and pay any federal income Taxes attributable to such income. Not in limitation of the foregoing, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer and the Company harmless from and against: (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company and the Seller for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Periods”) and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any Straddle Period as determined under Section 10.1(d); and (ii) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor by contract or pursuant to any Law, rule or regulation, including pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury Regulations or any analogous or similar state, local or non-U.S. Law or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, Seller shall be liable only to the extent that such Taxes are in excess of the amount, if any, reserved, for such Taxes (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) on the face of the Final Closing Statement (rather than any notes thereto). Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any Taxes that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to this Section 10.1(a) within fifteen (15) Business Days after payment of such Taxes by Buyer of the Company.

(b) Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to timely be filed all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Subject to Seller’s review and written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared in accordance with past practice of the Company (or Seller, as applicable) and timely file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company for any taxable year or period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (“Straddle Period”) and shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Buyer shall file or cause to be filed when due all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company after the Closing Date and shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns.

(c) Except as otherwise required by applicable Tax Laws, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall (or after the Closing, shall cause or permit the Company to) (i) amend, re-file or otherwise modify (or grant an extension of any statute of limitation with respect to) any Tax Return, (ii) file any Tax Return in a jurisdiction where the Company has not historically filed Tax Returns, (iii) initiate discussions or examinations with any Governmental Entity regarding Taxes, or make any voluntary disclosures with respect to Taxes relating in whole or in part to the Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, or (iv) change any accounting method or adopt any convention that shifts taxable income from a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date or shifts deductions or losses from a Pre-Closing Tax Period to a period beginning (or deemed to begin) after the Closing Date, in each case, without the prior written consent of Seller or (v) make any election to carryback any post-acquisition Tax attribute of the Company into a Pre-Closing Tax Period or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period.

(d) For purposes of Section 10.1, in the case of any Straddle Period, Taxes of the Company allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, gains or receipts (including sales and use taxes), or employment or payroll Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income, gains or receipts (including sales and use taxes), or employment or payroll Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount allocable to such portion of the Straddle Period based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing; provided, however, that any exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with reasonable prior practice of the Company.

(e) Any Tax sharing agreement between Seller and the Company is terminated as of the Closing Date and shall have no further effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year, or a past year).

10.2 Tax Indemnification Procedures; Contest Provisions.

(a) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing upon receipt by such Party or any of their respective Affiliates of notice of any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits, examinations, claims or assessments (a “Tax Claim”) for which such Party is entitled to seek, or is seeking or intends to seek, indemnification pursuant to Article IX.

(b) Notwithstanding Sections 9.4 and 9.5, Seller shall have the sole right, in good faith, to control and to represent the interests of the Company in and with respect to any Tax Claim or administrative or court proceeding relating to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and to employ counsel of its own choice for such purpose. Seller shall have the sole right to

settle, either administratively or after the commencement of litigation, any proceeding relating to Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. In the case of any Straddle Period, Seller shall be entitled to participate at its expense in or with respect to any Tax Claim or administrative or court proceeding relating (in whole or in part) to Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending after the Closing Date and, with Buyer’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and at Seller’s sole expense, may assume the entire control of such audit or proceeding. From and after the Closing, none of Buyer, the Company or any of its respective Affiliates shall settle or compromise, or agree to settle or compromise, any Tax Claim related to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

10.3 Tax Refunds.

(a) Any Tax refund or credit that is received by Buyer or the Company, and any amount credited against Tax to which Buyer or the Company becomes entitled, that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of the Straddle Period ending at the end of the Closing Date shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to pay over to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit against Tax up to the amount of any Tax asset (excluding any deferred Tax asset established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Final Closing Statement (rather than any notes thereto) with respect to such refund or credit.

(b) Any amount of Taxes that was reflected on the Final Closing Statement that was not in fact paid over to the appropriate taxing authority shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay over to Seller any such amount within fifteen (15) days after the determination of Taxes to which such amount relates.

10.4 Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties acknowledge that the acquisition of the Company is intended to be treated as a taxable asset acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes and agree that the Purchase Price and other amounts treated as consideration for Tax purposes will be allocated to the assets of the Company in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date Seller shall provide to Buyer a schedule allocating the purchase consideration to the assets of the Company (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”). Seller shall consider in good faith any comments timely provided by Buyer with respect to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule. The Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding on the Parties, and Buyer and Seller shall report and file Tax Returns in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule and shall not take any position (whether in proceedings, audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such Purchase Price Allocation Schedule unless required to do so by Law. Any adjustment to the purchase consideration shall be allocated as provided by Treasury Regulation section 1.1060-1(c).

10.5 Tax Records. For a period of seven (7) years after Closing, upon reasonable written notice, Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Seller, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (to the extent within the control of such Party) relating to the business of the Company (including access to books and records) for any Pre-Closing Tax

Periods or Straddle Periods as is reasonably requested for the filing of all Tax Returns, and making of an election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Governmental Entity, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding related to any Tax Return. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other similar proceeding relating to Taxes involving the business conducted by the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods or Straddle Periods. Buyer shall retain the books and records of the Company delivered to Buyer in accordance with this provision for a period of seven (7) years after Closing.

10.6 Tax Benefits. Seller shall be entitled to any Tax benefit arising from the payment of any Transaction Expense and Buyer agrees that any such Tax benefit shall be allocated to the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives has made any representation or warranty with respect to, and Buyer is not relying on, any management presentation, confidential information memoranda, business plans, data site materials, projections, forecasts or forward-looking statements made by or made available to Buyer or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives. Buyer and its Affiliates acknowledge that, in entering into this Agreement, they have relied solely on their own investigation of the Company Property and the Company and on the representations and

warranties expressly set forth in Article IV, subject to the limitations and restrictions specified herein. Subject to this Section 11.1 and compliance by Seller and the Company with their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein prior to the Closing, Buyer, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives any right to assert any claim against Seller or its Affiliates at law or in equity, relating to any matter described in clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 11.1, or otherwise disclaimed in this Section 11.1, whether latent or patent, disclosed or undisclosed, known or unknown, in contract or tort, now existing or hereafter arising.

12.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by means of facsimile or electronic means including .pdf form), each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.

12.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Related Documents, and the Confidentiality Agreement (and all exhibits and schedules to this Agreement and thereto) constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, relating to such subject matter. Neither Party shall be liable or bound to any other Party in any manner by any representations, warranties or covenants relating to such subject matter except as specifically set forth herein.

12.7 Amendments; Extensions and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by a writing signed by Buyer and Seller.

12.8 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

12.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such State, without regard to the conflicts of law principles of such State.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (a) CONSENTS TO SUBMIT ITSELF TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF (i) ANY FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND (ii) ANY DELAWARE STATE COURT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE THAT ARISES OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS, (b) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO DENY OR DEFEAT SUCH PERSONAL JURISDICTION BY MOTION OR OTHER REQUEST FOR LEAVE FROM ANY SUCH COURT AND (c) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT BRING ANY ACTION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS IN ANY COURT OTHER THAN A FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR A DELAWARE STATE COURT UNLESS VENUE WOULD NOT BE PROPER UNDER RULES APPLICABLE IN SUCH COURTS.

12.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT

HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY RELATED DOCUMENT (INCLUDING THE COMMITMENT LETTER) OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (b) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (c) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (d) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.11.

12.12 Mutual Drafting.

Buyer agrees and acknowledges that in addition to owning and operating the Company Property, Seller and/or Affiliates of Seller operate certain other hotel and casino properties and own certain other assets that are not located at, and not used exclusively for the operation of the business located at, the Company Property. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree that: (i) Seller is not making any representations or warranties with respect to any such properties or assets; (ii) Seller is not assigning or transferring to Buyer any right, title or interest in, to or under any such assets or properties; and (iii) none of such assets or properties shall be subject to any restrictions by virtue of this Agreement.

12.14 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement and all terms, provisions, covenants and conditions herein.

12.15 Specific Performance. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of Buyer or Seller to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder, including its failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to Seller or Buyer, respectively, for which damages, even if available, may not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief (without requirement to post any bond or other security) by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of each Party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder and the terms hereof, including the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Buyer and LDC set forth in 6.21 (Financing) of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Buyer or Seller may seek to compel specific performance by Seller or Buyer, respectively, for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if all of the conditions under Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied on the Closing Date; provided that such conditions are capable of being satisfied) have been satisfied on or prior

to the Outside Date, or have been waived in whole or in part by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, prior to the Outside Date, and Buyer fails to effect the Closing in breach of its obligations hereunder, then (a) Seller shall have been caused irreparable harm, (b) money damages will be inadequate to remedy such harm, and (c) Seller shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to obtain equitable relief, including obtaining an order requiring specific performance by Buyer of the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if all of the conditions under Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied on the Closing Date; provided that such conditions are capable of being satisfied) have been satisfied on or prior to the Outside Date, or have been waived in whole or in part by Seller or Buyer, as applicable, prior to the Outside Date, and Seller fails to effect the Closing in breach of its obligations hereunder, then (x) Buyer shall have been caused irreparable harm, (y) money damages will be inadequate to remedy such harm, and (z) Buyer shall be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to obtain equitable relief, including obtaining an order requiring specific performance by Seller of the terms of this Agreement.

12.16 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of litigation relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the non-prevailing Party shall reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of such Party resulting therefrom.

12.17 Conflicts and Privilege. Buyer, Seller, LDC and the Company agree that notwithstanding any current or prior representation of Seller and/or its Affiliates by Xxxxx Xxxxx LLP (“MB”), MB will be allowed to represent Seller or any of its Affiliates (which will no longer include the Company after the Closing) in any matters and disputes, including in any matter or dispute adverse to Buyer, LDC and their respective Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) that either is existing on the date hereof or that arises in the future and in each case relates to this Agreement, and each of Buyer and LDC does hereby, and agrees with respect thereto to cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) to, (a) waive any claim they have or may have that MB has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation, and (b) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer and LDC or any of their respective Affiliates (on the one hand) and Seller or any of its Affiliates (on the other hand), MB may represent Seller or such Affiliate in such dispute even though the interests of Seller or such Affiliate may be directly adverse to Buyer, LDC or their respective Affiliates (including the Company) and even though MB may be handling ongoing matters for Buyer or the Company. Each of Buyer and LDC further agrees, and agrees to cause its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company); provided, however, that MB shall be permitted to represent the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 12.17 of this Agreement) to agree, that, as to all privileged communications between or among MB and Seller and any of its Affiliates (including, prior to the Closing, the Company) that relate in any way to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Company, its Affiliates or any of its respective operations for the period ending at the Closing, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to, and may be controlled by, Seller and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company). Accordingly, none of Buyer or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) will have access to such communications from and after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 12.17, if a dispute arises after the Closing between Buyer, LDC or their respective Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) and a third party other than a Party to this

Agreement (or its Affiliates), the Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by MB to such unaffiliated third party; provided, however, that the Company may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller. This Section 12.17 will be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 12.17 may be amended, waived, or modified, without the prior written consent of Seller and Buyer.

12.18 Buyer Guarantee. LDC hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees (except for any conditions contained in this Section 12.18) the payment and performance when due of all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of any kind, nature and description of Buyer and its Affiliates arising out of or in connection with a Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Third-Party Obligations”). The Third-Party Obligations may be enforced by Seller against LDC without any requirement that Seller first exercise its rights against Buyer. In determining when payment, performance or discharge of obligations by LDC are due, and the amount thereof, LDC may assert any defenses or limitations to any such payment, performance or discharge, and any rights, remedies, counterclaims, reductions and setoffs that LDC or Buyer may have under this Agreement. LDC’s obligations under this Section 12.18 shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged, or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not LDC shall have any knowledge thereof) except as may be expressly set forth herein. LDC hereby waives each of the following: (i) notice of acceptance of the Third-Party Obligations or of the existence or creation of all or any of the Third-Party Obligations; (ii) presentment, demand, protest or notice of dishonor, nonpayment or other default with respect to any of the Third-Party Obligations and all other notices whatsoever (except for notices to be provided to Buyer, LDC and its counsel in accordance with this Agreement or applicable Law); (iii) any requirement that Seller institute suit or otherwise exhaust their rights or remedies against Buyer or against any other Person prior to enforcing any rights they have hereunder or otherwise against LDC; and (iv) all suretyship defenses generally (other than defenses to the payment of the obligations that are available to LDC or Buyer under this Agreement). Nothing contained in this Section 12.18 shall limit LDC’s ability to assert as a defense to any claim any defense that would be available to Buyer if the claim were asserted directly against Buyer. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by LDC, and, assuming this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the other Parties hereto and LDC, this Section 12.18 constitutes the valid and binding obligation of LDC, enforceable against LDC in accordance with its terms, subject only, as to enforcement, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws now or hereinafter in effect affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, LDC is not guaranteeing the obligation of Buyer to pay, and shall have no obligation to pay, the Closing Payment at the Closing (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, its portion of the required equity contributions to Buyer, including the Initial Capital Injection).

12.19 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity.

(a) Representations Related to a Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. Each of Buyer and LDC hereby represent and warrant to Seller:

(i) Buyer is wholly owned by HoldCo, which, as of the Closing, will be owned 50% by LDC and 50% by Eagle. LDC is a federally chartered corporation

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. § 477, as amended, and is wholly owned by the Tribe. LDC is an instrumentality of the Tribe and is entitled to all of the privileges and immunities of the Tribe but may on its own, without the Tribe’s consent, waive any defense of sovereign immunity from suit that it or its directors, officers, employees or agents may otherwise enjoy under applicable federal, state or tribal law, arising from any particular agreement, matter or transaction as may be entered into to further its purposes.

(ii) LDC is authorized to execute, deliver and perform all documents and agreements that are required to effectuate the Transaction, including this Agreement (containing the waiver of sovereign immunity in this Section 12.19) and the Related Documents.

(iii) LDC’s Board of Director has determined that neither its Charters nor Bylaws, nor the Tribe’s Code, nor any of its or the Tribe’s other Laws, ordinances, resolutions or actions, or any of its or the Tribe’s agencies or instrumentalities, whether written or established by custom or tradition, prohibit it or any of its Affiliates or instrumentalities from executing and delivering this Agreement and the Related Documents and entering into and performing their obligations with respect to the Transaction. All notices, filings, documents, resolutions and other matters that are either necessary or required to be submitted to the Tribe’s governing body (in either its governmental capacity or its capacity as a shareholder) and to the BIA for approval or consent in connection with this Agreement, the Related Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been submitted and completed LDC has obtained all of the necessary and required approvals and consents to consummate the Transaction, including any required approvals or consents from the Tribe. Accordingly, all third parties to whom this Agreement and any of the Related Documents are delivered in connection with the Transaction, and their respective successors and assigns, shall be entitled to rely on grants of authority confirmed herein without further inquiry.

(iv) Neither Buyer nor HoldCo, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, nor any successors or assigns of either party (including by merger or other combination or reorganization), nor any Affiliate of Buyer or HoldCo on Buyer’s or HoldCo’s behalf, has any right to, nor are they entitled to, nor will they assert, any defense of sovereign immunity from suit under applicable federal, state or tribal law.

(v) Neither Buyer, HoldCo, LDC or, after the Closing, the Company, will agree to change their corporate structure or be merged into, acquired by, or take any other action that would result in frustrating the waiver of sovereign immunity granted herein or, in the case of Buyer, HoldCo and, after the Closing, the Company, permit any such entity to be entitled to or protected by sovereign immunity.

(b) Waiver of Sovereign Immunity.

(i) LDC hereby irrevocably, unequivocally and expressly waives its sovereign immunity (and any defenses based thereon) and any right of sovereign immunity it now has or may acquire in the future in any jurisdiction (including any rights with respect to the Deposit), in each case in favor of Seller and each of the Seller

Indemnified Parties and their respective Representatives for the interpretation and/or enforcement of LDC’s obligations under this Agreement and the Related Documents (including Article V (to the extent specifically identified), Sections 3.6(b), 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.8, 6.13, 6.21, 9.2(c) and Article XII of this Agreement) by suit or other Proceeding, whether such suit or Proceeding be brought at law or in equity, or proceedings of arbitration, or to enforce and execute any order, judgment or ruling resulting therefrom; provided, that any such order, judgment or ruling is limited to declaratory or injunctive relief or an award of Damages, which Damages shall be subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement. Further, LDC hereby irrevocably, unequivocally and expressly acknowledges and agrees that, upon execution of this Agreement, LDC’s obligations under this Agreement and the Related Documents represent current obligations of LDC and, in the event the equity securities of LDC are transferred to, or acquired by, any other Person (whether in a merger, consolidation, stock purchase, exchange, restructuring, reorganization or other transaction regardless of form), such obligations shall be deemed to have arisen and matured prior to any such transfer or acquisition and shall survive unimpaired.

(ii) LDC expressly, unequivocally and irrevocably waives any application of the doctrine of exhaustion of tribal remedies that might otherwise require, as a matter of law or comity, that any dispute, controversy, suit, action or other Proceeding arising under this Agreement, the Related Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby be heard first in a tribal court or forum or other administrative process of the Tribe.

(iii) With respect to the foregoing waivers contained in Section 12.19(b)(i) and (b)(ii), LDC hereby represents and warrants that any and all actions necessary to authorize and enter into this Agreement and the Related Documents have been taken and that all notices, consents and other actions required to authorize such waivers have been given and done.

(iv) Without in any manner limiting the generality of the foregoing, LDC expressly authorizes any governmental instrumentality (meaning any national, state, local or tribal government (whether domestic or foreign), any political subdivision thereof or any other governmental, quasi-governmental, judicial, public or statutory instrumentality, authority, body, agency, bureau or entity or any arbitrator with authority to bind a party at Law) that has the right and duty under applicable Law, to take any action authorized or ordered by any court (including entering onto the property of LDC) to give effect to any judgment or order entered in any court.

(v) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 12.19(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended to act as a waiver of sovereign immunity of or by the Tribe, which is not a party to this Agreement.

(c) Consent to Forum. LDC acknowledges and agrees that its duties and obligations in or related to this Agreement and the Related Documents shall be enforceable against it in the forums set forth in Section 12.10. For purposes of any Proceeding involving LDC, its controlled Affiliates, or any of their assets relating to this Agreement or the Related

Documents, including any issue as to the validity of any waiver of sovereign immunity contained herein, LDC’s Board of Directors, on behalf of LDC, has irrevocably, unequivocally and unconditionally consented to the personal jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of Delaware and the courts of the United States located in Delaware on the terms of Section 12.10. In any such Proceeding, LDC agrees not to assert and hereby irrevocably, unequivocally and unconditionally waives any defense alleging improper venue or forum non conveniens or the doctrine of exhaustion of tribal remedies. Further, LDC expressly and irrevocably agrees that it shall not institute any Proceeding in any tribal courts in respect of any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Related Documents, but shall instead resort to the forums set forth in Section 12.10 on the terms set forth therein.

(d) No Revocation of Sovereign Immunity Waiver. LDC covenants and agrees that its waiver of sovereign immunity and other consents and waivers contained in Section 12.19(b), (c) and (e) (collectively, the “Sovereign Immunity Waivers”) are irrevocable and it agrees not to revoke or further limit, in whole or in part, its Sovereign Immunity Waivers or in any way attempt to revoke or further limit, in whole or in part, such Sovereign Immunity Waivers. Further, LDC covenants and agrees that the Sovereign Immunity Waivers shall survive unimpaired and bind the successors of LDC and its controlled Affiliates, including any Person that acquires equity securities of LDC or any controlled Affiliate of LDC, whether in a merger, consolidation, stock purchase, exchange, restructuring, reorganization or other transaction regardless of form, and in each such case the Sovereign Immunity Waivers will be in full force and effect and apply unimpaired to the surviving entity of such transaction to the extent permitted under applicable Law. Further, LDC covenants and agrees that, from the date hereof until the ten (10) year anniversary of the Closing Date, (x) it will not sell, assign or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the business or assets of LDC or any controlled Affiliate of LDC (including the Company), in one or a series of transactions, to any Person with sovereign immunity, whether in an asset purchase, reorganization, restructuring or other transaction regardless of form (including a merger, consolidation, exchange, restructuring, reorganization or other transaction where LDC is not the surviving entity of such transaction), unless such Person shall have waived its sovereign immunity in advance of such transaction in the same form (in all material respects) as the Sovereign Immunity Waivers, and in each such case such advance sovereign immunity waiver will be in full force and effect and apply unimpaired to the transferee, assign or surviving entity, as applicable, of such transaction, and (y) the consideration received by LDC in any transaction contemplated by the foregoing clause (x) shall be available to the Seller Indemnified Parties in the event LDC breaches its obligation to secure an advance waiver of sovereign immunity in accordance with the foregoing clause (x) and LDC shall hold such consideration free and clear of all Liens (other than customary Liens under the LDC Financing) or intercompany agreements and shall not declare any dividends or other distributions of any portion of such consideration until the date of the final resolution of any and all disputes or Proceedings between the parties hereto relating to such breach. In the event that LDC (i) revokes, further limits or attempts to revoke or further limit the Sovereign Immunity Waivers granted under this Section 12.19, (ii) takes any action that is inconsistent with the Sovereign Immunity Waivers or other covenants granted in this Section 12.19 or (iii) fails to submit to the Law or jurisdiction of the state or federal courts as provided in Sections 12.9, 12.10, 12.11 and 12.19, the parties hereto expressly recognize and agree that (A) there remains no adequate remedy at law available to the Seller and/or the Seller Indemnified Parties, (B) Seller and/or the Seller Indemnified Parties will be irreparably injured upon any revocation or further limitation of

this Section 12.19, and (C) LDC hereby consents to the entry of appropriate injunctive relief, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event of any attempted limitation or revocation of the Sovereign Immunity Waivers granted herein, Seller and/or the Seller Indemnified Parties may immediately seek judicial injunctive relief as provided in this Section 12.19 in any court specified in Section 12.10 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender or LDC Financing Source shall have any obligation or liability under this Section 12.19(d).

(e) Applicable Law. With regard to applicable Law, LDC acknowledges that this Agreement and the Related Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable federal law and the Laws of the State of Delaware (exclusive of its conflict of law principles); provided, however, that the Laws of the Tribe shall be applicable solely as guidance to construe and interpret the nature of LDC and its relationship to its sole shareholder, the Tribe, such Laws of the Tribe being limited to the Tribe’s Constitution, Code (xxxxx://xxx0.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xx/xxxxxx_xx_xxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxxx_xxxx) and Shareholder Resolutions, as well as LDC’s Charter.

(f) Scope of Waiver. This waiver is subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Related Documents. LDC does not waive its immunity for any other purpose or for any other person or entity not named in this Section 12.19. These provisions for a limited waiver of sovereign immunity, consent to jurisdiction, enforcement and selection of law shall be effective from and after all parties to this Agreement have duly executed this Agreement. The execution of this Agreement and any applicable Related Documents shall constitute consent and agreement to the waiver, consent, forum, enforcement and selection of law provisions contained in this Section 12.19.

12.20 No Liability of Financing Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the parties to this Agreement on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates hereby: (a) agrees that any action, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, brought or supported against any Lender or LDC Financing Source, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter, any LDC Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the foregoing or the performance of any services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and any appellate court thereof and each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, (b) agrees that any such action shall be governed by the Laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another state), (c) agrees not to bring or support or permit any of its Affiliates to bring or support any action, including any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Lender or LDC Financing Source in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter, any LDC Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the foregoing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, (d) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action in any

such court, and (e) knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right to a trial by jury in any action brought against any Lender or LDC Financing Source in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter, any LDC Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the foregoing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder. Further, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the parties to this Agreement on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates hereby agrees that, except if and to the extent expressly and specifically assumed in a written agreement of the applicable Lender or LDC Financing Source including the rights of the parties to the agreements governing the Financing, the Commitment Letter and any LDC Financing, no Lender or LDC Financing Source will have any liability to any Party (or any other Person) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter, any LDC Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the foregoing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder and that it shall not and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, or employees to seek any action for specific performance against any Lender or LDC Financing Source relating to or in any way arising out of this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter, any LDC Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit in any manner any remedy of the Seller Indemnified Parties against Buyer, LDC or any of their respective successors or assigns (whether by merger, combination or other reorganization) under this Agreement, including any remedy against Buyer, LDC or any of their respective successors or assigns (whether by merger, combination or other reorganization) for breach of any arrangements related to the Financing, the Commitment Letter, any LDC Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the foregoing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, but subject in all cases to the terms set forth in this Agreement.
