3.11        Majority Vote Required.  When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power present, whether in person or represented by proxy, shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of the Act or of the Articles of Incorporation, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

 

3.12         Voting Rights.  At all meetings of stockholders, unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation or by the Act, each outstanding share of capital stock shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, but no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after six months from its date of creation, unless coupled with an interest, or unless the person executing it specified a length of time for which it is to continue in force, which in no case shall exceed seven years from the date of its execution.

 

3.13         Proxies.  Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after six months from its date of creation, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.  A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.  A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. Any proxy is suspended when the person executing the proxy is present at a meeting of stockholders and elects to vote, except that when such proxy is coupled with an interest and the fact of the interest appears on the face of the proxy, the agent named in the proxy shall have all voting and other rights referred to in the proxy, notwithstanding the presence of the person executing the proxy. At each meeting of the stockholders, and before any voting commences, all proxies filed at or before the meeting shall be submitted to and examined by the Secretary or a person designed by the Secretary, and no shares may be represented or voted under a proxy that has been found to be invalid or irregular.

 

3.14         Waiver of Notice.  Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting shall constitute waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.  Any stockholder may waive notice of any annual or special meeting of stockholders by executing a written waiver of notice either before or after the time of the meeting.

 

3.15         Regulatory Approval.  No stock of the Corporation shall be issued unless in conformance with all Gaming Laws.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

6.3           Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation. To the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. No indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction shall determine upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.

 

6.4           Successful Defense. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 6.2 or 6.3, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.

6.5           Determination of Conduct. Any indemnification under Section 6.2 or 6.3 (unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 10.6) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. Such determination shall be made (a) by the stockholders, (b) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, (c) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceedings so orders, or (d) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained.

 

6.6           Payment of Expenses in Advance. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. The provisions of this Section 6.6 do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.

 

6.7           Indemnity Not Exclusive.

(c)          Commencing on the date that a Gaming Authority serves notice of a determination of unsuitability or the Board of Directors determines that a Person is an Unsuitable Person, and until the Shares Owned or Controlled by such Person are Owned or Controlled by a Person who is not an Unsuitable Person, the Unsuitable Person or any Affiliate of an Unsuitable Person shall not be entitled: (i) to receive any dividend or interest with regard to the Shares, (ii) to exercise, directly or indirectly or through any proxy, trustee, or nominee, any voting or other right conferred by such Shares, and such Shares shall not for any purposes be included in the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, or (iii) to receive any remuneration in any form from the Corporation or any Affiliated Company for services rendered or otherwise.

8.3           Injunctive Relief. The Corporation is entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this Article 8 and each holder of the Shares of the Corporation shall be deemed to have acknowledged, by acquiring the Shares of the Corporation, that the failure to comply with this Article 8 will expose the Corporation to irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law and that the Corporation is entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce the provisions of this Article 8.

 

8.4           Non-exclusivity of Rights. The Corporation’s rights of redemption provided in this Section 8 shall not be exclusive of any other rights the Corporation may have or hereafter acquire under any agreement, provision of the bylaws or otherwise.

Nothing contained in this Article 8 shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action to the extent permitted by law as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation or its Affiliated Companies from the denial or threatened denial or loss or threatened loss of any Gaming License of the Corporation or any of its Affiliated Companies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board of Directors may conform any provisions of this Article 8 to the extent necessary to make such provisions consistent with Gaming Laws. In addition, the Board of Directors may, to the extent permitted by law, from time to time establish, modify, amend or rescind bylaws, regulations, and procedures of the Corporation not inconsistent with the express provisions of this Article 8 or the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Articles”) for the purpose of determining whether any Person is an Unsuitable Person and for the orderly application, administration and implementation of the provisions of this Article 8. The Board of Directors shall have exclusive authority and power to administer the terms of this Agreement and to exercise all rights and powers specifically granted to the Board of Directors or the Corporation, or as may be necessary or advisable in the administration of this Article 8. All such actions which are done or made by the Board of Directors in good faith shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Corporation and all other Persons; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may delegate all or any portion of its duties and powers under this Article 8 to a committee of the Board of Directors as it deems necessary or advisable.

(c)          Any shareholder desiring to acquire the Shares will deliver to the Secretary of the Corporation a written election to purchase the Shares or a specified portion of such Shares, within fourteen calendar (14) days of the date of the Corporation’s notice.  If the Corporation receives notice from shareholders electing to purchase in the aggregate more than the Transferring Shareholder’s Shares, each purchasing shareholder will have priority, up to the amount of the Shares specified in his or her notice, to purchase such proportion of the Shares as his or her Shares bears to the total Shares of the Corporation held by shareholders electing to purchase.

 

(d)          If any shareholder elects to purchase as specified above, the Secretary of the Corporation will notify each purchasing shareholder of the Transferring Shareholder’s Shares as to which his or her election was effective within seven calendar (7) days of the expiration of the option period provided to shareholders described herein.  Such shareholders will meet the terms and conditions of the purchase within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of the Secretary’s notification of the Transferring Shareholder’s Shares as to which such shareholder’s election was effective.

 

(e)          If the Corporation and the shareholders do not exercise the right to purchase as to all of the Shares of the Transferring Shareholder described in the written offer, the Transferring Shareholder may sell, transfer, assign, encumber, or otherwise dispose of the Shares to any third party for the same or higher price and on the exact terms specified in the notice.  However, if the Transferring Shareholder does not sell, transfer, assign, encumber, or otherwise dispose of the Shares to a third party on those terms within ninety calendar (90) days after the Corporation was notified of the intent to sell , the Transferring Shareholder must, before disposing of the Shares, re-offer the Shares to the Corporation and the shareholders in the manner as set forth in this Article 9.

 

(f)          No shareholder shall have the right to compel the sale of shares belonging to another shareholder without first offering for sale or transfer 100% of said initiating shareholder’s Shares and subsequently following all of the notice and rights of purchase provisions contained in Article 9 herein. Provided that the restrictions contained in this subsection are met and in the event that the Corporation and or shareholders elect not to purchase the initiating shareholder’s Shares on the terms specified in the notice then after thirty calendar (30) days following the date of the initiating shareholder’s notice to sell the initiating shareholder may offer all the Shares of the Corporation for sale to a third party at a price equal to or greater than the price offered to the Corporation and other shareholders. In said event the Corporation and all shareholders shall be obligated to sell their Shares and cooperate in the transfer of sales to a third party transferee.

 

(g)          Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 9(a) above, no shareholder will have the right voluntarily or involuntarily to sell, assign, pledge, mortgage, encumber or grant any security interest in or otherwise transfer all or any portion of any Shares, and no such purported transfer need be recognized by the Corporation, unless all of the following requirements are satisfied: (i) the transfer will not of itself cause the Corporation to be in default under any indebtedness of the Corporation; (ii) the transfer is in accordance with the terms and conditions of the these Bylaws, including compliance with any and all Gaming Laws and regulations, and the Transferee is not deemed an Unsuitable Person or an Affiliate of an Unsuitable Person by the Board of Directors; and (iii) the Transferring Shareholder will deliver to the Corporation at Corporation’s request an opinion in form and substance and from legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Corporation stating that such transfer does not violate any federal or state securities law, and the Transferee will deliver such additional documents respecting the Transferee’s investor suitability and other legal or investment matters as the Corporation may reasonably require; and provided further that the Corporation will have no duty to participate in, cause or pay for any registration or qualification procedures under federal or state securities laws.
