PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 3, 2007, by and between Resorts International Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”) and Ameristar Casinos, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Buyer”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Section 9.1 hereof.

WHEREAS, Seller is the record and beneficial owner of 100% of the membership interests (the “Interests”) of RIH Acquisitions IN, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (the “Company”);

WHEREAS, the Company is the record and beneficial owner of 100% of the membership interests of RIH Propco IN, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (the “Company Subsidiary”);

WHEREAS, the Company, together with the Company Subsidiary, owns and operates Resorts East Chicago, a casino hotel located in East Chicago, Indiana (the “Property”); and

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Buyer, all of the Interests, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE AND SALE OF INTERESTS

Section 1.1. Purchase and Sale of Interests. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to Buyer free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions to which Buyer may be subject under applicable securities laws and Gaming Laws), and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, the Interests for an aggregate purchase price of Six Hundred Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($675,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.6. The Purchase Price (less the Deposit, as set forth in Section 1.2) shall be delivered to Seller in immediately available funds on the Closing Date to a United States bank account designated by Seller (or Seller’s designated “qualified intermediary”) in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

Section 1.2. Deposit.

(a) On the date hereof, Buyer shall deposit Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (collectively with any additional amounts delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof, the “Deposit”) with First American Title Insurance Company of NY (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an escrow agreement dated as of the date hereof and attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Deposit Escrow Agreement”) executed and delivered by Seller,

Buyer and the Escrow Agent. Upon the Closing, (i) the Deposit shall be paid to Seller (or Seller’s designated “qualified intermediary”) and credited against the Purchase Price, (ii) the interest accrued on the Deposit shall be paid to the Buyer, and (iii) the Deposit and the accrued interest thereon shall be promptly released by the Escrow Agent to Seller (or Seller’s designated “qualified intermediary”) and Buyer, respectively, pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) and the terms of the Deposit Escrow Agreement. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Deposit and the interest accrued thereon shall be payable pursuant to Section 6.2(c) hereof, and thereafter shall be promptly released by the Escrow Agent to Buyer or Seller (or Seller’s designated “qualified intermediary”), as applicable, pursuant to such Section 6.2(c) hereof and the terms of the Deposit Escrow Agreement.

(b) Seller and Buyer agree to execute and be bound by such other reasonable and customary escrow instructions as may be necessary or reasonably required by the Escrow Agent or the parties hereto in order to consummate the purchase and sale contemplated herein, or otherwise to distribute and pay the funds held in escrow as provided in this Agreement and the Deposit Escrow Agreement; provided that such escrow instructions are consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Deposit Escrow Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and provisions of such supplemental escrow instructions and the terms and provisions of this Agreement, or any inconsistency between the terms and provisions of the Deposit Escrow Agreement and the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control, absent an express written agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary which acknowledges this Section 1.2(b).

Section 1.3. Allocation of Purchase Price. The purchase and sale of the Interests pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated, for federal and applicable state income tax purposes, as a purchase by Buyer of the assets of the Company (other than the interests in the Company Subsidiary owned by the Company) and the Company Subsidiary. Between the date hereof and the Due Diligence Date, the parties hereto will cooperate in good faith to agree upon a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (as determined for federal income tax purposes, including any assumed Liabilities that are required to be treated as part of the Purchase Price for federal income tax purposes) among such assets, and such schedule shall be attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B. If the parties have agreed upon Exhibit B prior to the Due Diligence Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer within thirty (30) Business Days of the delivery of the Post-Closing Statement a purchase price allocation (“Seller’s Allocation”) that conforms to the principles of such Exhibit B. Buyer shall accept and agree to Seller’s Allocation unless Buyer, acting in good faith, objects to Seller’s Allocation, in which case Buyer shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s Allocation, deliver written notice to Seller of such objection. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the items in Seller’s Allocation to which Buyer objects and the basis for such objection. In the event that the parties cannot mutually agree upon a resolution with respect to such disputed items within fifteen (15) Business Days of Seller’s receipt of such notice, such disagreement shall be treated in the same manner as a disagreement described in Section 1.6(c), shall be resolved consistently with the manner in which disputes described in Section 1.6(c) are resolved and such resolution(s) will be reflected on the purchase price allocation. Buyer and Seller agree to (a) be bound by the purchase price allocation, if any, established in accordance with this Section 1.3, as it may be adjusted for changes resulting from adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.6 (the “Purchase Price Allocation”), (b)

act in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation in the filing of all Tax Returns (including, without limitation, filing IRS Form 8594 (and any supplemental or amended Form 8594) with their United States federal income Tax Return for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date) and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax examination or Tax litigation relating thereto, and (c) take no position and cause its Affiliates to take no position inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree upon Exhibit B prior to the Due Diligence Date, each party shall be free to allocate the Purchase Price (as determined for federal income tax purposes, including any assumed Liabilities that are required to be treated as part of the Purchase Price for federal income tax purposes) as it determines, and neither party shall be bound by the other party’s allocation.

Section 1.4. Time and Place of Closing. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Article VI hereof, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the purchase and sale of the Interests (the “Closing”), shall take place on the third Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions set forth in Article V hereof (other than those conditions intended to be satisfied or waived at the Closing), at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at the offices of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, unless another time or place shall be agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Date”); provided, however, that in the event Buyer has not obtained all required Gaming Approvals and all the other conditions set forth in Article V hereof have been satisfied or waived, the Closing shall take place on the third Business Day following Buyer’s receipt of all required Gaming Approvals, subject to Buyer’s and Seller’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof; provided, further, that the Closing Date shall not be after the date that is six (6) months after the date hereof (the “Scheduled Closing Date”), unless:

(a) Buyer deposits with the Escrow Agent an additional Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($8,500,000) (which amount shall thereafter be included in the Deposit for all purposes of this Agreement); and

(b) Buyer has not received all required Gaming Approvals on or before three (3) Business Days before the Scheduled Closing Date; in which case the Closing Date shall be extended to the earlier of:

(i) three (3) Business Days after Buyer receives all required Gaming Approvals; and

(ii) ninety (90) days after the Scheduled Closing Date (the “Extended Closing Date”); provided, further, that the Closing Date shall not be after the Extended Closing Date, unless:

(1)

Buyer deposits with the Escrow Agent an additional Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($8,500,000) (which amount shall thereafter be included in the Deposit for all purposes of this Agreement); and

(2)

Buyer has not received all required Gaming Approvals on or before three (3) Business Days before the Extended Closing Date; in which case the Closing Date shall be extended to the earlier of:

	(A)		three (3) Business Days after Buyer receives the required Gaming Approvals; and

	(B)		ninety (90) days after the Extended Closing Date.

Section 1.5. Deliveries at Closing. The following documents will be executed and delivered by Buyer and Seller, as applicable, at or prior to the Closing:

(a) Buyer shall deliver to Seller the certificates required by Sections 5.3(b) and (c) hereof.

(b) Seller shall deliver to Buyer the certificates required by Sections 5.2(a), (b) and (c) hereof and the materials described in Sections 5.2(d) and (e).

(c) Seller shall deliver to Buyer certificate(s) representing the Interests duly endorsed by Seller for transfer to Buyer or accompanied by membership interest powers for the Interests duly executed by Seller, in proper form for transfer.

(d) Seller shall deliver to Buyer a certification, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, to the effect that Seller is not, and its assets are not treated as owned by, a foreign person as such term is defined in Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code.

(e) Each party shall deliver any other documents, instruments or agreements which are reasonably requested by another party that are reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and have not previously been delivered.

Section 1.6. Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) As soon as practicable but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare (or cause to be prepared) and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) showing Buyer’s calculation of Closing Cash and Closing Working Capital, including, in each case, the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. Buyer shall provide to Seller such back-up or supporting data relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculations of Closing Cash and Closing Working Capital reflected thereon as Seller may reasonably request. Buyer shall also provide Seller and its officers, directors, employees, accountants, financial advisors, agents or other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) with such reasonable access to the books, records and personnel of the Company and the Company Subsidiary, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, as Seller may reasonably request for the purposes of evaluating the Post-Closing Statement and Buyer’s calculations of Closing Cash and Closing Working Capital.

(b) Seller shall, within the thirty (30) day period (the “Acceptance Period”) following receipt of such Post-Closing Statement, notify Buyer of its acceptance or non-acceptance (as the case may be) of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Cash and

Closing Working Capital reflected thereon. If no such notice is delivered to Buyer by Seller within the Acceptance Period, the Post-Closing Statement and the calculations of Closing Cash and Closing Working Capital reflected thereon shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller and shall be binding thereon for all purposes of this Agreement. If the Post-Closing Statement and the calculations of Closing Cash and Closing Working Capital reflected thereon are accepted or deemed to have been accepted by Seller, then payment of any related amounts, as contemplated by this Section 1.6(b), shall be made pursuant to Sections 1.6(d) and (e) below. If Seller gives notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer within the Acceptance Period that Seller does not agree with or otherwise does not accept the calculation of Closing Cash or Closing Working Capital reflected on the Post-Closing Statement, Seller shall describe in such Dispute Notice, in reasonable detail, the basis for its disagreement. Buyer and Seller shall endeavor in good faith to resolve all such disagreements within the thirty (30) Business Day period (the “Negotiating Period”) following the delivery by Seller of such Dispute Notice.

(c) If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disagreements regarding the Post-Closing Statement and the calculations reflected thereon within the Negotiating Period, then all such disputes shall be promptly referred to Ernst & Young LLP or, if such firm declines to serve, then such other independent accounting firm as is mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Neutral Accounting Firm”). The Neutral Accounting Firm shall be instructed only to resolve all outstanding disagreements relating to the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Cash and Closing Working Capital reflected thereon, and shall be instructed not to otherwise investigate such matters independently. The Neutral Accounting Firm shall investigate only those items which are in dispute and shall not assign a value to any item that is (A) greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either of Buyer or Seller or (B) lower than the lowest value for such item claimed by either of Buyer or Seller. The Neutral Accounting Firm’s determination shall be based only upon written submissions by Buyer and Seller, and not upon an independent review by the Neutral Accounting Firm. The parties shall instruct the Neutral Accounting Firm to render its determination within thirty (30) Business Days of the referral of such matter thereto, and the determination of the Neutral Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon Buyer and Seller for all purposes of this Agreement. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Neutral Accounting Firm without the prior consent of Buyer (in the case of Seller) or Seller (in the case of Buyer). The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accounting Firm shall be borne one-half by Buyer, on the one hand, and one-half by Seller, on the other hand.

(d) Promptly following the final resolution of all disputes, if any, relating to the Post-Closing Statement calculations and amounts reflected thereon in accordance with this Section 1.6, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter, (A) if the finally-determined amount of Closing Cash exceeds the Target Closing Cash, then Buyer shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated by Seller to Buyer in writing, an amount equal to such difference or (B) if the finally-determined amount of Closing Cash is less than the Target Closing Cash, then Seller shall pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated by Buyer to Seller in writing, an amount equal to such difference. Any amounts paid under this Section 1.6(d) shall be paid together with interest

thereon at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal’s Table of Interest Rates and Bonds on the date that payment is to be made, calculated from the Closing Date through the date on which payment is made.

(e) Promptly following the final resolution of all disputes, if any, relating to the Post-Closing Statement calculations and amounts reflected thereon in accordance with this Section 1.6, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter, (A) if the finally-determined Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Closing Working Capital, then Buyer shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated by Seller to Buyer in writing, an amount equal to such difference or (B) if the finally-determined Closing Working Capital is less than the Target Closing Working Capital, then Seller shall pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated by Buyer to Seller in writing, an amount equal to such difference. Any amounts paid under this Section 1.6(e) shall be paid together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal’s Table of Interest Rates and Bonds on the date that payment is to be made, calculated from the Closing Date through the date on which payment is made.

(f) In the event that the adjustments contemplated by Sections 1.6(d) and (e) above result in both (A) amounts owed by Buyer to Seller and (B) amounts owed by Seller to Buyer, then, in such event, whichever of Seller, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, owes the other the greater amount shall pay to such other party an amount equal to the difference between the two amounts owed.

Each of the Licensed Parties, and to the knowledge of Buyer, each of the Licensed Parties’ directors, officers, key employees and Persons performing management functions similar to officers and partners are in compliance with the terms of the Buyer Permits, except for such failures to comply, which singly or in the aggregate, would, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to materially impair or delay the Closing. Neither Buyer nor any of its Licensing Affiliates has received notice of any investigation or review by any Governmental Entity under any Gaming Law with respect to Buyer or any of its Licensing Affiliates that is pending, and, to the knowledge of Buyer, no investigation or review is threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated any intention to conduct the same, other than those the outcome of which would not impair or delay the Closing.

To the knowledge of Buyer, there are no facts, which if known to the regulators under the Gaming Laws could reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, limitation or suspension of a material license, finding of suitability, registration, permit or approval of the Licensed Parties, or any of their officers, directors, key employees or Persons performing management functions similar to an officer or partner, or limited partner under any Gaming Laws.

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) each Continuing Employee immediately will be eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Post-Closing Plans to the extent coverage under such Post-Closing Plan replaces coverage under a similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Closing Date (such plans, collectively, the “Pre-Closing Plans”), (ii) for purposes of each Post-Closing Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Buyer will cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Post-Closing Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent any such exclusions or requirements were waived or were inapplicable under any similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan, and (iii) Buyer will cause any eligible expenses incurred

by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Pre-Closing Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding Post-Closing Plan begins to be taken into account under such Post-Closing Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Post-Closing Plan.

injury or physical property damage claims, liabilities, judgments or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by any of them arising or resulting therefrom. Buyer will hold and cause its Representatives to hold any such information furnished to it by Seller which is nonpublic in confidence in accordance with the confidentiality agreement dated March 26, 2007, between Seller and Buyer (the “Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, however, that subsequent to the Closing Date, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive only with respect to Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) provided with respect to the Seller or its Affiliates, other than the Company or the Company Subsidiary, and that after the Closing Date, the Confidentiality Agreement shall no longer apply to any Information (as defined in the Confidentiality agreement) provided in respect of any other matters, including, without limitation, the Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be required to provide any information which (i) it reasonably believes it may not provide to Seller and its Affiliates and Representatives by reason of applicable Law or by a confidentiality agreement with a third party if, in the case of a confidentiality agreement, Buyer has used reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such party to such disclosure, or (ii) constitutes information protected by the attorney/client and/or attorney work product privilege. If any material is withheld by Buyer pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer shall inform Seller as to the general nature of the material which is being withheld. Seller shall keep confidential, and shall take reasonable steps to cause its Representatives to keep confidential, (i) any and all non-public information concerning Buyer provided to Seller or its Representatives by Buyer and (ii) any and all non-public information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiary. Seller recognizes and agrees that in the event of a breach by it of this Section 4.5(b), money damages would not be an adequate remedy to Buyer for such breach and, even if money

damages were adequate, it would be impossible to ascertain or measure with any degree of accuracy the damages sustained by Buyer therefrom. Accordingly, if there should be a breach or threatened breach by Seller of the provisions of this Section 4.5(b), Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction restraining Seller from any breach without showing or proving actual damage sustained by Buyer.

(c) In accordance with applicable Gaming Laws, Buyer shall retain, and cause the Company and the Company Subsidiary after the Closing to retain, all books and records which are in the Company’s or the Company Subsidiary’s possession at the Closing for a period of at least five (5) years from the Closing Date or such further period as may be required by applicable Gaming Laws.

Section 4.6. Governmental Approvals.

Buyer and Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to schedule and attend any hearings or meetings with Governmental Entities to obtain the Governmental Approvals as promptly as possible. Buyer and Seller shall have the right to review in advance and, to the extent practicable, each will consult all of the parties hereto on, in each case, subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information (including, without limitation, 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 which appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions governed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer and Seller will notify all of the other parties hereto promptly of the receipt of material comments or requests from Governmental Entities relating to Governmental Approvals, and will supply all of the other parties hereto with copies of all material correspondence between the notifying party or any of its Representatives and Governmental Entities with respect to Governmental Approvals.

(b) Without limiting Section 4.6(a) hereof, Buyer and Seller shall:

(i) each use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order, or judgment that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing, on or before the Outside Date, including defending through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in any court by any Person; and

(ii) each use its reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Closing so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event no later than the Outside Date), including implementing, contesting or resisting any litigation before any court or quasi-judicial administrative tribunal seeking to restrain or enjoin the Closing;

(c) Buyer and Seller shall promptly advise each of the other parties hereto upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions governed by this Agreement which 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. Buyer and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions reasonably necessary to defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions governed by this Agreement, seeking to prevent the entry by any Governmental Entity of any decree, injunction or other order challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions governed by this Agreement, appealing as promptly as possible any such decree, injunction or other order and having any such decree, injunction or other order vacated or reversed.

(d) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, each party shall promptly notify all other parties hereto in writing of any pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer or Seller, as appropriate, threatened action, suit, arbitration or other proceeding or investigation by any Governmental Entity or any other Person (i) challenging or seeking damages in connection with the Closing of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) seeking to restrain or prohibit the consummation of the Closing.

Section 4.7. Publicity. Seller and Buyer shall agree on the form and content of the initial press release regarding the transactions contemplated hereby and thereafter shall consult with all of the other party hereto before issuing, provide each other the opportunity to review and

comment upon and use all reasonable efforts to agree upon, any press release or other public statement with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and 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 applicable Law (including without limitation regulations of the NASDAQ stock market, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any Gaming Laws). The commenting party shall provide any such comments in a timely manner such that the party issuing such press release or other public statement shall have a commercially reasonable period of time to respond to such comments prior to any deadline imposed by such applicable Law in respect of such press release or other public statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer, Seller or any of their 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 and Seller and do not reveal non-public information regarding Buyer or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates.

Seller shall prepare any related Tax Returns pertaining to Transfer Taxes incurred (under applicable Law) by Seller, and Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared any such Tax returns pertaining to Transfer Taxes incurred (under applicable Law) by the Company or the Company Subsidiary.

The parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other and execute any additional documents which are reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 4.11. Neither party shall be entitled to be named as an additional insured or otherwise entitled to any benefits under any insurance policy issued to the other party or any of its Affiliates from and after the date hereof and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict Buyer, the Company or the Company Subsidiary from acquiring at its own expense any other insurance policy in respect of any liabilities or covering any period. The agreements contained in this Section 4.11 shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any rights or interest in violation of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance.

Company Subsidiary, notwithstanding any terms thereof to the contrary.

(c) Buyer shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 4.23 in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 4.23.

Section 4.24. Like-Kind Exchange.

(a) Seller may elect to effect the transfer and conveyance of the Interests as part of a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Code (a “Section 1031 Exchange”). If Seller so elects, Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer of its election at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and thereafter Seller:

(i) may immediately prior to Closing assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4), subject to all of Seller’s obligations and Buyer’s rights and obligations hereunder; and

(ii) shall, concurrently with such assignment, provide written notice of such assignment to Buyer.

(i) Buyer shall receive written notice from Seller at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, which notice shall identify the parties involved in such Section 1031 Exchange, enclose all documents for which Buyer’s signature shall be required, and instruct Buyer as to any changed manner of payment of the Purchase Price (including having such payment be made to a “qualified intermediary”);

(ii) Seller shall pay for any and all reasonable additional costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with accommodating the Section 1031 Exchange, including such additional costs and expenses (including legal fees) pertaining to the review of documents with respect to which Seller is requesting Buyer’s signature and ancillary documents;

(iv) Seller’s failure to effectuate any intended Section 1031 Exchange shall not relieve Seller from its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of such Section 1031 Exchange shall not be a condition precedent to Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. Buyer shall under no circumstances be liable to Seller or any other Person for any failure of the transfer and conveyance of the Interests to qualify as part of a Section 1031 Exchange.

(c) Seller hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against any claims, costs, damages, expenses, liabilities and losses incurred by, claimed against or suffered by it arising out of Seller’s actual or attempted Section 1031 Exchange.

Seller shall have the right from time to time prior to the date that is five (5) days prior to the Due Diligence Date (the “Final Diligence Delivery Date”) to supplement or amend the Seller Disclosure Letter (except with respect to Sections 4.3(c), 8.1 and 8.2 thereof) with respect to any matter required to be set forth or described in the Seller Disclosure Letter. The delivery of any such updated Seller Disclosure Letter will be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy of a representation or warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder but for the supplement or amendment to the Seller Disclosure Letter pursuant to this Section 4.25 and Buyer shall not have any claim (whether for indemnification or otherwise) against Seller, the Company or the Company Subsidiary for any such inaccuracy.

ARTICLE VII.

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1. Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.

(a) Except as set forth in Article VI and Section 7.1(b) hereof, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of each party hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any other party hereto, any Person controlling any such party or any of their Representatives whether prior to or after the execution of this Agreement.

(b) The representations and warranties made by Seller and Buyer in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until (and claims based upon or arising out of such representations and warranties may be asserted at any time before) twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.2(a), 2.3 and 2.6 shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof). The period of time a representation or warranty survives the Closing pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be the “Survival Period” with respect to such representation or warranty. The parties intend for the preceding two sentences to shorten the otherwise applicable statute of limitations and agree that, subject

to the last sentence of this Section 7.1(b), no claim may be brought based upon, directly or indirectly, any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement after the Survival Period with respect to such representation or warranty. The covenants and agreements of the parties hereto in this Agreement shall survive the Closing without any contractual limitation on the period of survival (other than those covenants and agreements that are expressly required to remain in full force and effect for a specified period of time). The termination of the representations and warranties provided herein shall not affect a party in respect of any claim made by such party in reasonable detail in a writing received by the indemnifying party prior to the expiration of the Survival Period provided herein.

Section 7.2. Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs, losses, Liabilities, obligations, damages, claims, 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 (herein, “Damages”), incurred in connection with, arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or agreement provided for in this Agreement, in either case without regard to any reference to materiality or Material Adverse Effect; and

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made, or to be performed, by Seller in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or agreement provided for in this Agreement.

(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, save 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 of Seller incurred in connection with, arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or agreement provided for in this Agreement, in either case without regard to any reference to materiality;

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made, or to be performed, by Buyer in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or agreement provided for in this Agreement; and

(iii) any assistance provided to Buyer by Seller and their respective Affiliates and Representatives pursuant to Section 4.21 hereof.

Section 7.3. Interpretation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the term Damages shall not include any consequential, special or incidental damages, claims for lost profits, or punitive or similar damages.

Section 7.4. 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 hereunder, such party shall give written notice briefly describing the claim and the total monetary damages sought (each, a “Notice”) to the indemnifying party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) and to all the other parties hereto 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 VII. Any failure to submit any such notice of claim 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.

Section 7.5. Defense of Third Party Claims. If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against an Indemnified Party by any third party (each, a “Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification under this Article VII may be sought, Notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnifying Party and to all the other parties hereto 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. With respect to any Third Party Claim (a) that does not seek solely equitable relief and (b) that involves Damages for which the Indemnifying Party may be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII after application of the limitations set forth in Section 7.6, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim, (ii) 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 action or 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, in which event such Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Parties’ reasonable cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel (provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party), and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only (x) with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or (y) 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; 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party may not assume the defense of the Third Party Claim if (1) the Persons against whom the claim is made, or any impleaded Persons, include both the Indemnifying Party and any Indemnified Party, and (2) representation of both such Persons by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in which case any Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the Third Party Claim and to employ counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. 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 fifteen (15) calendar 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 Parties’ 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 Parties; 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. 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.

Section 7.6. Limitations on Indemnity.

(a) No Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 7.2(a)(i), 7.2(a)(ii) (solely with respect to the failure by Seller to fulfill its obligations pursuant to Section 4.12(b) hereof with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty), 7.2(b)(i) and 7.2(b)(ii) (solely with respect to the failure by Buyer to fulfill its obligations pursuant to Section 4.12(b) hereof with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty) to the extent the aggregate claims for Damages of the Indemnified Parties against such Indemnifying Party for which indemnification is sought pursuant to such sections hereof is less than $6,750,000 (the “Threshold Amount”) or exceeds an amount equal to $50,625,000 (the “Cap Amount”); provided, that, if the aggregate of all claims for Damages for which indemnification is sought against an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Sections 7.2(a)(i), 7.2(a)(ii) (solely with respect to the failure by Seller to fulfill its obligations pursuant to Section 4.12(b) hereof with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty), 7.2(b)(i) and 7.2(b)(ii) (solely with respect to the failure by Buyer to fulfill its obligations pursuant to Section 4.12(b) hereof with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty) equals or exceeds the Threshold Amount, then such Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for such Damages subject to the limitations in this Section 7.6(a) only to the extent such Damages exceed the Threshold Amount, but in any event not to exceed the Cap Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 7.6(a) shall not apply to any claims for indemnification in respect of any breach of Sections 2.2(a), 2.3, 2.6(d), 2.17, 2.18, 3.2(a) and 3.3, as applicable.

(b) In calculating the amount of any Damages payable to an Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of the Damages (i) shall not be duplicative of any other Damage for which an indemnification claim has been made, (ii) shall be computed net of any amounts actually recovered by such Indemnified Party under any insurance policy with respect to such Damages (net of any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such insurance proceeds) and (iii) shall be computed net of any amounts that were taken into account in the calculation of Closing Working Capital to the extent that such amounts (A) related to the subject matter of such Damages and (B) were in favor of the applicable Indemnified Party. 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 the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not be required to remit any proceeds in excess of the amount actually paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VII in connection with the related claim for

indemnification. 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 VII.

Section 7.7. Payment of Damages. An Indemnified Party (or Seller’s designated “qualified intermediary”) shall be paid in cash by an Indemnifying Party the amount to which such Indemnified Party (or Seller’s designated “qualified intermediary”) may become entitled by reason of the provisions of this Article VII, 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.

Section 7.8. Exclusive Remedy.

(a) Except as specifically set forth in Sections 4.5, 4.13, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.24, after the Closing, the indemnities provided in this Article VII 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 for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer 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, fraud or willful misconduct) such party may have against the other party hereto arising under or based upon this Agreement or any schedule, exhibit, Disclosure Letter, document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, and no legal action 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 VII). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.8, in the event of a fraud or any willful breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein by Buyer or Seller, any Indemnified Party shall have all remedies available at law or in equity with respect thereto.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Buyer Indemnified Parties hereby waive and agree not to seek (whether under any Environmental Law or otherwise) any statutory or common law remedy (whether for contribution, equitable indemnity or otherwise) against any Indemnifying Party with regard to any Environmental Condition or Environmental Liability.

Section 7.9. Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated by the parties for income Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

At the request of Buyer, (i) Seller shall (and shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiary to) use commercially reasonable efforts (at no cost to Seller) to obtain and deliver to Buyer at Closing a new title policy with respect to the Vessel (if available), together with such endorsements as may be reasonably required by Buyer (if available), insuring Buyer’s interest in the Vessel, and Buyer agrees to accept Seller’s (or the Company’s or the Company Subsidiary’s) interest in the Vessel subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and to pay the premium for such new title policy and all endorsements thereto.

(c) Failure to provide Seller with Buyer’s Title Notice within the ten (10) Business Day period following delivery of the new title commitment or the applicable update to the Existing Title Policy, UCC Search or Survey shall be deemed a waiver of Buyer’s right to disapprove of any matters disclosed by any such update to the Existing Title Policy, UCC Search or Survey, and Buyer shall then be deemed to have accepted all matters as described in such title commitment or update to such Existing Title Policy, UCC Search and Surveys, without reserving any claim against Seller for title defects or Survey defects, and all such matters shall be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances.

(d) For purposes of this Section 8.3, “cure” of a Monetary Encumbrance, a Major Survey Defect or a Major Title Defect must consist of one of the following (at Seller’s election): (a) in the case of Major Survey Defects, delivery of an updated survey showing the absence of such Major Survey Defect or (b) in the case of a Monetary Encumbrance, a Major Survey Defect or Major Title Defect, delivery of the Existing Title Policy, or any new or update thereto (or an endorsement to any of the foregoing) showing the deletion from Schedule B of, or endorsement (in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer) over, such Monetary Encumbrance, Major Survey Defect or Major Title Defect.

Section 9.4. Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section or Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. All Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The phrase “made available” in this Agreement shall mean that the information or documents referred to have been posted and made available for viewing and printing by Buyer and its Representatives on the electronic datasite for this transaction that was established by Seller and hosted by Capital DataRoom. Buyer and Seller will be referred to herein individually as a “party” and collectively as “parties” (except where the context otherwise requires).

Section 9.5. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all documents and instruments referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect after the Closing. Each party hereto agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the certificates and other agreements delivered in accordance with this Agreement and the respective Disclosure Letters, neither Seller nor Buyer makes any other representations or warranties, and each hereby disclaims any other representations and warranties made by itself or any of its respective Representatives or other Representatives, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to any of them or their respective Representatives of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

Section 9.7. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 9.8. Assignment. Except as provided in Section 4.24 hereof, without the prior written consent of all of the parties hereto, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by operation of Law (including, without limitation, by merger or consolidation) or otherwise. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, Buyer may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all of its rights, interests and (except with respect to clause (i) below) obligations under this Agreement (i) to the banks or other lenders (or any agent therefor) providing the debt financing to be incurred by Buyer in connection with the Closing for security purposes, or (ii) to any controlled Affiliate (so long as such Affiliate remains at all times thereafter an Affiliate of Buyer); provided, however, that such assignment shall not be valid under this Agreement unless (a) such Affiliate assumes all of Buyer’s agreements and obligations hereunder, (b) no such assignment shall relieve Buyer from any of its agreements and obligations hereunder, and (c) no such assignment in any way (x) shall adversely affect the ability to receive, or delay the receipt of, the Gaming Approvals or antitrust approvals contemplated by this Agreement or (y) shall adversely affect or delay the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any assignment in violation of this Section 9.8 shall be void.

Section 9.9. Parties of Interest; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and/or in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 9.11. Mutual Drafting. Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. In the event of any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.12. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by Buyer and Seller. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Buyer and Seller.

Section 9.13. Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors may, to the extent legally allowed (i) extend the time for or waive the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant herein and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained here. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party.

Section 9.14. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement and all terms, provisions, covenants and conditions herein.

Section 9.15. Disclosure Letters. The Seller Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered paragraphs contained in this Agreement and the disclosure in any paragraph shall qualify other paragraphs in this Agreement to the extent it is reasonably apparent from the face of the statement that it is applicable. The Buyer Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered paragraphs contained in this Agreement and the disclosure in any paragraph shall, to the extent applicable, qualify other paragraphs in this Agreement to the extent it is reasonably apparent from the face of the statement that it is applicable. Except as provided in Section 4.25, the Seller Disclosure Letter and the Buyer Disclosure Letter may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Buyer and Seller.
