consent without a meeting (“Board Proceedings”), and all “Board packages,” presentations or similar materials submitted to the Board in anticipation of any determinations to be made by the Board, or any committee thereof (“Board Presentation Materials”);

(ii)All other presentation materials, whether given internally or to third parties;

(iii)The documents relied upon by the Company or the Board to support the Company’s public statements, regulatory filings or disclosures;

(iv)With respect to the National: (1) all financial reports which evidence the actual costs of the construction and opening; (2) all budgets generated prior to, during, and after completion of construction, including all documents showing the actual costs and expenses incurred by the Company on this project as compared to the budgeted amounts for the same; (3) all memoranda or other documents containing explanations or descriptions of, reports on, or any other information relating to cost overruns incurred in connection with the construction and opening of the National; and (4) all documents identifying the line-items comprising the cost overruns associated with the National; and

(v)With respect to the La Cantera Transaction: (1) all actual and draft agreements between the Company and any third party; (2) all correspondence between potential lenders and the Company, including any loan commitments between the Company and any third party; (3) all documents revealing the expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the negotiation, due diligence and other efforts related to the potential or anticipated purchase of the La Cantera, including all attorneys’ and consulting fees and expenses associated with same; and (4) all memoranda or other reports generated in connection with the La Cantera Transaction;

(c)All Records pertaining to any aircraft owned or leased by, or on behalf of, the Company over the last five years, including, without limitation, the following: (i) all models and tail numbers; (ii) all documents evidencing the purchase price or lease costs incurred by, or on behalf of, the Company; (iii) all documents evidencing the operating costs for use of such aircraft, including fuel costs, hangar costs, pilot salaries, landing fees, and other related expense information; and (iv) all flight travel logs and other documentation setting forth the date, destination, passengers, and purpose of each flight during such time period;

(d)All Records pertaining to: (i) the Board’s adoption on August 12, 2008, of a shareholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) and (ii) the Board’s adoption on November 13, 2008 of the Second Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “New By-Laws,” and together with the Rights Plan, the “Defensive Measures”), including, without limitation, copies of all Board Proceedings and Board Presentation Materials discussing or considering whether any Defensive Measures should be adopted, and the effect that the Defensive Measures might have on a proxy contest for the election of directors to the Board;

(2)To investigate possible mismanagement, breaches of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, and improper conduct with respect to the Company’s executives’ use of company aircraft for personal vacations and other non-company purposes;

(3)To investigate the propriety of certain relationships between and among the officers and directors of the Company;

(4)To utilize the information obtained through the inspection of the Company’s books and records to evaluate possible corrective measures, including possible litigation, with respect to certain or all of these matters; and

(5)To communicate with other stockholders regarding matters relating to their interests as stockholders so as to enable Stockholder to effectively address any mismanagement or improper conduct, including, without limitation, through litigation or by considering changes to the composition of the Board.

Pursuant to Section 220 of the DGCL, you are required to respond to this demand within five business days of the date hereof.  If you refuse to permit the inspection and copying demanded herein, or fail to reply to this demand, within five business days, Stockholder will conclude that this demand has

Stockholder hereby designates and authorizes Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., and any persons designated by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., acting singly or in any combination, to conduct the inspection and copying herein requested.  Please advise Glen Hettinger at (214) 855-8000 as to the time and place when the requested information will be made available in accordance with this demand.
