case of parties indemnified pursuant toSection 6(b) above. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if indemnity may be sought pursuant toSection 6(h) hereof in respect of such action or proceeding, then in addition to such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Independent Underwriter in its capacity as a “qualified independent underwriter” and all persons, if any, who control the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested an Indemnifying Party to reimburse the Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the first and second sentences of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) Contribution. To the extent the indemnification provided for inSection 6(a) or6(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Notes, or (ii) if the allocation provided bySection 6(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to inSection 6(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Notes shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Price to Public of the Notes. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters’ and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to
22
contribute pursuant to thisSection 6 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Notes they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to thisSection 6 were determined bypro rataallocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to inSection 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of thisSection 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriters has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not liable for any of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in thisSection 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity. The obligations of the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to thisSection 6 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder, and not joint.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in thisSection 6 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Notes.
(g) It is understood and agreed that the only information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: paragraphs five (second sentence only) and six under the caption “Underwriting”.
(h) The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, also agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Independent Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Independent Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act, or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments incurred as a result of the Independent Underwriter’s participation as a “qualified independent underwriter” within the meaning of Rule 2720 of the NASD’s Conduct Rules in connection with the offering of the Notes, except for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and judgments resulting from the Independent Underwriter’s, or such controlling person’s, willful misconduct.
SECTION 7.Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors submitted pursuant hereto,
23
shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive delivery of the Securities to the Underwriters.
SECTION 8.Termination of Agreement.
(a) Termination; General.This Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice given by the Representative to the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Time (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASD, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse or (v) there has been, since the date hereof or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of operations, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business and (b) in the case of any of the events specified inSections 8(a)(i) through 8(a)(iv), such event, singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in the sole judgment of the Representative, impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
(b) Liabilities.If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided inSection 4 hereof. Notwithstanding any such termination, the provisions ofSection 6 shall remain in effect.
SECTION 9.Default by One or More of the Underwriters.If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representative shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other Underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:
(a) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the Notes, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or
24
(b) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the Notes, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.
No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default. In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section.

(ii) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, but only to the extent the same are currently conducted and operated, and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture and the Notes.
(iii) To the best of such counsel’s knowledge and information, the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except where failure to be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(iv) Each Company Subsidiary that is a corporation has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Each Company Subsidiary that is a limited liability company or limited partnership has been duly formed and is validly existing as a limited liability company or limited partnership, respectively, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. Each Company Subsidiary that is a general partnership has been duly formed and is validly existing as a general partnership under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation.

security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity (except for liens permitted under the Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture).
(v) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.
(vi) To the best of such counsel’s knowledge and information, there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened other than any regularly scheduled re-licensing proceedings now pending before any gaming authority and other than those disclosed in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the adverse determination of which would have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries considered as a single enterprise.
(vii) The Registration Statement has become effective under the 1933 Act; any required filing of each prospectus relating to the Notes (including the Prospectus) pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) (without reference to Rule 424(b)(8)); any required filing of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule C hereto pursuant to Rule 433 has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 433(d); and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge and information, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act or, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge and information, proceedings therefor initiated or threatened by the Commission.
(viii) The Registration Statement, including without limitation the Rule 430B Information, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, and each amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, as of their respective effective or issue dates (including without limitation each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations), other than the financial statements and supporting schedules and other financial and statistical data included therein and the Trustee’s Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 (the “Form T-1”), as to which no opinion need be rendered, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.
(ix) The information in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus under “Description of the Notes” and in the Registration Statement under Item 15 to the extent that it constitutes matters of law, summaries of legal matters, documents or proceedings, or legal conclusions, has been reviewed by them and is correct in all material respects.
(x) To the best of such counsel’s knowledge and information, there are no contracts, indentures, mortgages, loan agreements, notes, leases or other instruments required to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement, Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus to be filed as exhibits thereto or to documents incorporated therein by reference other than those described or referred to therein or filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto, the descriptions thereof or references thereto are correct in all material respects, and no default exists in the due performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement,
covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument so described, referred to, filed or incorporated by reference, where the consequences of such default would have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(xi) No authorization, approval, consent or order of any court or governmental authority or agency is required in connection with the offering, issuance or sale of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, except (a) as disclosed in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (b) such authorizations, approvals, consents or orders under the Gaming Laws that have been obtained; or (c) such as may be required under the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations or state securities law or the qualification of the Indenture under the 1939 Act; and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge and information, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, the performance of this Agreement, the Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein and compliance by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors with its or their obligations hereunder and thereunder will not: (1) conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary pursuant to, any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary is subject, which would result in a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise; or (2) result in any violation of the provisions of (A) any applicable law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree which would result in a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise or (B) the charter or by-laws of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.
(xii) The Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture by the Trustee, the Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, constitutes, and the Notes (when executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the Indenture and delivered against payment therefor) will constitute, the valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar law relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, and except that certain provisions of the Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture and the Notes may not be enforceable in whole or in part under the laws of the State of Nevada, but the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity of such documents and such documents contain adequate provisions for enforcing payment of the monetary obligations of the Company under the Notes and for the practical realization of the
rights and benefits afforded thereby, provided such enforcement is conducted in accordance with the procedures established by the laws of the State of Nevada.
(xiii) The Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Subsidiary Guarantors and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Supplemental Indenture by the Trustee) constitute valid and binding agreements of the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantors enforceable against the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar law relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, and except that certain provisions of the above-referenced documents may not be enforceable in whole or in part under the laws of the State of Nevada, but the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity of such documents and such documents contain adequate provisions for enforcing payment of the monetary obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiary Guarantees and for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby, provided such enforcement is conducted in accordance with the procedures established by the laws of the State of Nevada.

Registration Statement which constitutes the Trustee’s Statement of Eligibility and Qualification under the 1939 Act (Form T-1)) (i) the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective on [ ], contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) the Pricing Disclosure Package, at the Applicable Time, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the Closing Date, included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

Exhibit B
Opinion matters covered by Lionel Sawyer & Collins,
Nevada counsel to the Company
(i) Each of the domestic Company Subsidiaries identified as Nevada entities on Schedule C hereto (the “Nevada Subsidiaries”) that is a corporation, has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. Each of the Nevada Subsidiaries that is a limited liability company has been duly formed and is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. Each of the Nevada Subsidiaries that is a general partnership has been duly formed and is validly existing as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Nevada.
(ii) Each of the Nevada Subsidiaries has all requisite corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its specific obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee, and each of the Nevada Subsidiaries has taken all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership action to authorize the execution and delivery by it of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee and the performance by it of this Agreement, the Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee.
(iii) To the extent the Nevada Subsidiaries are parties thereto, the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantees have been duly and validly authorized, and the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantees have been executed and delivered by the Nevada Subsidiaries.
(iv) To the best of such counsel’s knowledge, none of the Nevada Subsidiaries is in violation of any term or provision of its articles of incorporation or bylaws, or articles of organization or operating agreement, or partnership agreement, as the case may be. Except as disclosed in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, no default exists and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default in the due performance and observance of any express term, covenant or condition by any of the Nevada Subsidiaries of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note or any other agreement or instrument to which any of the Nevada Subsidiaries is a party or by which they or any of their assets or properties or businesses may be bound or affected, where the consequences of such default would have a material adverse effect on the assets, properties, business, results of operations, prospects or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(v) Each of the Company and the Nevada Subsidiaries has all authorizations, approvals, consents, orders, licenses, certificates and permits required of or from any governmental or regulatory body under the Nevada Gaming Control Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Nevada Gaming Laws”) (each, a “Nevada Permit”) to own, lease and license its assets and properties and to conduct its business as described in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, but only to the extent the same are currently conducted and operated, and to issue the Notes and to execute the
Subsidiary Guarantees (except to the extent disclosed in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus with respect to the placement of restrictions on the transfer of and entering into agreements not to encumber the Company’s interests in certain Company Subsidiaries licensed or registered under the Nevada Gaming Laws). To the best of such counsel’s knowledge, the Company and each of the Nevada Subsidiaries have fulfilled and performed in all material respects all of their obligations with respect to Nevada Permits (except to the extent disclosed in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus with respect to the placement of restrictions on the transfer of and entering into agreements not to encumber the Company’s interests in certain Company Subsidiaries licensed or registered under the Nevada Gaming Laws), and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any Nevada Subsidiary is in violation of any term or provision of any such Nevada Permits, nor has any event occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or which could result in any material impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Nevada Permits.
(vi) To the extent the Nevada Subsidiaries are parties hereto, this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Nevada Subsidiaries. No Nevada Permits are required for the performance of this Agreement or for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any other transaction described in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and each of the Prospectus to be entered into prior to or contemporaneously with the sale of the Notes and the execution of the Subsidiary Guarantees, except (i) as disclosed in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (including the placement of restrictions on the transfer of and the entering into agreements not to encumber the Company’s interests in certain Company Subsidiaries licensed or registered under the Nevada Gaming Laws) and (ii) for such Nevada Permits that have been obtained. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein and compliance by the Nevada Subsidiaries with its or their obligations hereunder and thereunder will not: (1) conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of any Nevada Subsidiary pursuant to, any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument of which such counsel has actual knowledge and to which any Nevada Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of any Nevada Subsidiary is subject which would result in a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Nevada Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise; or (2) result in any violation of the provisions of (A) any applicable Nevada law or administrative regulation or any administrative or court decree known to such counsel which would result in a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Nevada Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise or (B) the articles of incorporation or organization or by-laws or operating agreement, or partnership agreement documents, of any Nevada Subsidiary.
(vii) Assuming (except as hereinafter provided with respect to the Notes) the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee of the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture constitute, and the Notes, when executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in the manner provided in the
Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture by the Trustee) and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor, will constitute, the valid and binding agreements of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar law relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles and except that certain provisions of the above-referenced documents may not be enforceable in whole or in part under the laws of the State of Nevada, but the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity of such documents and such documents contain adequate provisions for enforcing payment of the material monetary obligations of the Company under the Notes and for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby, provided such enforcement is conducted in accordance with the procedures established by the laws of the State of Nevada.
(viii) The Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture (including the Subsidiary Guarantees therein) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Nevada Subsidiaries to the extent they are parties thereto. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture by the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than by the Nevada Subsidiaries) and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, the Indenture (including the Subsidiary Guarantees therein) and the Supplemental Indenture constitute valid and binding agreements of the Subsidiary Guarantors enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar law relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles and except that certain provisions of the above-referenced documents may not be enforceable in whole or in part under the laws of the State of Nevada, but the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity of such documents and such documents contain adequate provisions for enforcing payment of the material monetary obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture and for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby, provided such enforcement is conducted in accordance with the procedures established by the laws of the State of Nevada.
(ix) The statements under the caption “Regulation and Licensing” regarding Nevada laws, rules, regulations and legal conclusions (and the statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 included in Exhibit 99 under the heading “Nevada Government Regulation”) included in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus insofar as such statements constitute a summary of matters of Nevada law, a summary of Nevada proceedings or Nevada legal conclusions, were true and correct in all material respects as of the Applicable Time and as of the Closing Date.
Such counsel may qualify the opinions in (vii) and (viii) above by not expressing an opinion as to:
1. The reasonableness of any late charge or liquidated damages.
2. The effectiveness under all circumstances of broadly stated waivers whether or not directly stated as a waiver.
3. The effectiveness of any provision directly or indirectly requiring that any consent, modification, amendment or waiver be in writing.
4. Rights to indemnify and contribution that may be limited under applicable federal or state securities laws.
Such counsel may also state that they express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada and that pursuant to Regulation 8.130 of the Nevada Gaming Commission, the transactions evidenced by this Agreement, the Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, and the performance of this Agreement and the Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, must be reported to the appropriate gaming authorities who may require rescission thereof if such transactions are inimical to the public health, safety, morals, good order or general welfare of the people of the State of Nevada or would reflect, or tend to reflect, discredit upon the State of Nevada or the gaming industry.
