ARTICLE 2
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

     2.1 Capital Contributions.

          (a) Capital Contribution Commitment. Each Member shall be unconditionally obligated to contribute cash, the property described in Section 2.1(b) or such other assets as the Manager approves to the capital of the Company an aggregate amount equal to the Capital Contribution Commitment of such Member as set forth on Schedule 2.1(a) and, in exchange therefore, shall initially be allocated the Percentage Interest set forth opposite the Member’s name. All Capital Contributions shall be made not later than the Capital Contribution Dates set by the Manager with respect thereto in accordance with Section 2.5. No Member shall be required to make Capital Contributions in excess of such Member’s Capital Contribution Commitment.

          (b) Amounts Contributed. Members of the Company’s Members formed OH Ventures Cleveland LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Cleveland LLC”),

OH Ventures Cleveland Peninsula LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Cleveland Peninsula LLC”), and OH Ventures Cincinnati LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Cincinnati LLC”, and together with the Cleveland LLC and the Cleveland Peninsula LLC, the “Casino Site LLCs”). Members of the Company’s Members caused the Casino Site LLCs to acquire leases and/or options to purchase real estate in Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio. Members of the Company’s Members also spent money (1) to cause the Casino Site LLCs to acquire such leases and options on real estate in Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio, and (2) in the furtherance of electoral approval of legislation directly related to the success of the Project, thereby enhancing the value of the leases and options on real estate in Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio. Members of the Company’s Members contributed in kind their interests in the Casino Site LLCs to those Members listed on Schedule 2.l(b), which in turn have contributed them in kind to the Company as part of such Member’s Capital Contribution to the Company. Each Member agrees that the Gross Asset Value with respect to the contribution of interests in the Casino Site LLCs to the Company by a Member shall be equal to the amount set forth on Schedule 2.l(b) with respect to the interest in the Casino Site LLCs contributed to the Company.

     2.2 Member Loans, Third Party Financing. The Manager may, on the Company’s behalf, obtain any financing it deems necessary, at any time, to enable the Company to conduct its business and affairs or to develop, construct, acquire, complete and operate the Company’s Property and the Project in addition to the Members’ Capital Contribution Commitments. The financing obtained as described in the immediately preceding sentence may include third-party debt financing obtained by the Company and the collateral for any such financing may include the Property and the Project, among other collateral. Subject to Section 1.7, the Manager may request that one or more Members to provide all or any part of such financing (“Member Loan(s)”) and may cause the Company to enter into Member Loans. If any Member shall make any loan or loans to the Company, the amount of any such loan or advance shall not be treated as a contribution to the capital of the Company but shall be a debt due from the Company.

     2.3 Member Guaranties. No Member or Affiliate or Related Person of a Member shall be required to guaranty, or to make or otherwise provide any other financial commitment or enhancement with respect to any Debt of the Company. Subject to Section 1.7, the Manager may request that one or more Members provide or cause to be provided a guaranty or enhancement with respect to any Debt of the Company (collectively, the “Member Guaranties”) if, in the Manager’s reasonable judgment, such Member Guaranties are necessary or desirable, and may cause the Company to obtain and enter into Member Guaranties. A Member Guaranty of any Company Debt may be provided by a Member or an Affiliate thereof in any form, including the form of a guaranty, letter of credit, pledge of collateral or other credit enhancement facility. The Manager may, in its discretion, agree to pay to Members providing Member Guaranties a guaranty fee. Such obligation of the Company shall be separate from and in addition to the guaranteeing Member’s right-to receive any other payment or distributable amount hereunder.

     2.4 Return of Capital. No interest shall accrue on any Capital Contributions and no Member shall have any right to withdraw or to be repaid any Capital Contributions except as provided in this Agreement.

     2.5 Funding Unpaid Capital Contribution Commitment. With respect to any unpaid Capital Contribution Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1(a), (i) the Manager may set a date on which all or a portion of such unpaid Capital Contributions are to be made (the “Capital Contribution Date”), (ii) the Company shall notify the Members not less than three (3) days prior to such Capital Contribution Date of the Capital Contributions required to be made and the amounts of their respective required Capital Contributions, and (iii) such required Capital Contributions of the Members shall be proportionate to such Members’ unpaid Capital Contribution Commitment then outstanding.

     2.6 Additional Capital Contributions. No Member shall be obligated to make any capital contributions beyond such Member’s Capital Contribution Commitment. The Manager may cause the Company to offer and sell additional Interests in the Company on such terms and providing for such rights and obligations (including amendments to this Agreement to reflect such rights and obligations) as are approved by the Manager and by Members holding a majority of the Percentage Interest; provided that no approval by Members shall be required with respect to any offer or sale of additional Interests in the Company or the terms, rights and obligations of such Interests and their offer and sale if (a) they do not require amendments to ARTICLE 3, ARTICLE 4, or Section 11.2(b), but amendments to Schedules 2.1(a) and 2.l(b) do not require approval, and (b) if ROCK OHIO VENTURES I LLC purchases an additional Interest on or before November 3, 2009, ROCK OHIO VENTURES II LLC invests an amount in the Company equal to at least 46.48% of the total of the two investments.

     2.7 Preemptive Rights. If the Company authorizes the issuance or sale of any Interests (except for issuances on the date of this Agreement and except for issuances on or before November 3, 2009 if LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC is offered at least 10% of the total Interests issued), the Company shall first offer in writing (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”) to sell to LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC or the successor to its Interests 10% of such Interests. LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC or the successor to its Interests shall be entitled to purchase up to 10% of such Interests being issued or sold by notifying the Company in writing within three business days after the delivery of the Preemptive Rights Notice. The closing of such purchase shall take place on the first closing date of the same Interests offered to others. LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC or the successor to its Interests shall be entitled to purchase such Interests at the most favorable price and on the most favorable terms that such Interests are to be offered in such transaction; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company is issuing more than one type or class of Interests in connection with such issuance, LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC or the successor to its Interests shall be required to acquire all such types and classes of Interests in the same form as they are being offered to others. Such Interests specified in the Preemptive Rights Notice that are not purchased by LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC or the successor to its Interests pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.7 may be issued and sold by the Company (on terms no less favorable than the terms offered in such Preemptive Rights Notice) within 90 days of the date of the Preemptive Rights Notice. Any Units not issued within such 90-day period will be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.7 upon subsequent issuance.

     2.8 Admission of Additional Members. Additional Members may be admitted to the Company if, and only if, (1) any requirements of Section 2.6 are met, (2) such

admission, and the terms and conditions of such admission, including, without limitation, any required Capital Contribution, are approved by the Manager, subject to Section 1.7, and (3) such person accepts, adopts and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as it may then be amended; provided that the admission of new Members in connection with a transfer of an Interest shall be governed by Section 9.1(b), rather than this Section 2.8.

ARTICLE 3
ALLOCATIONS

     3.1 Profits and Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 3.2 below, and subject to Section 3.3(d) below, Profit or Loss of the Company for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members in such proportions as will cause the Augmented Capital Account (as hereinafter defined) of each Member to equal, as nearly as possible, the amount such Member would receive if an amount equal to all Members’ Augmented Capital Accounts, increased by the amount of such Profit or reduced by the amount of such Loss, were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 4.1 below. For this purpose, the “Augmented Capital Account” of any Member shall mean such Member’s Capital Account, determined after giving effect to all distributions during such Fiscal Year and all allocations other than allocations of Profit or Loss for such Fiscal Year, and increased by such Member’s “share of partnership minimum gain” (within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(g) of the Regulations) and “share of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations) as of the end of such Fiscal Year.

     3.2 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made for income tax purposes in the following order:

          (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE 3, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company gross income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 3.2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

          (b) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement except Section 3.2(a), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease of Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt that is allocable to the disposition of any Company assets subject to such Member

Nonrecourse Debt. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii). Any Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5). This Section is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

          (c) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests. For purposes of this Section, “nonrecourse deductions” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.704-2(b)(l) of the Regulations. The amount of nonrecourse deductions for a Fiscal Year shall equal the excess, if any, of the net increase, if any, in the amount of Company Minimum Gain during that Fiscal Year over the aggregate amount of any distributions during that Fiscal Year of proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability that are allocable to an increase in Company Minimum Gain, determined according to the provisions of Regulation Section 1.704-2(d).

          (d) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). The amount of Member Nonrecourse Deductions with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt for a Fiscal Year equals the excess, if any, of the net increase, if any, in the amount of Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt during that Fiscal Year over the aggregate amount of any distributions during that Fiscal Year to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt to the extent such distributions are from the proceeds of such Member Nonrecourse Debt and are allocable to an increase in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(l).

          (e) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation paragraphs (4), (5) or (6) of Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d), items of Company gross income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Members in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of that Member as quickly as possible.

     3.3 Other Allocation Rules.

          (a) The Members are aware of the income tax and economic consequences of the allocations made by this ARTICLE 3 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this ARTICLE 3 in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

          (b) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined in good faith by the Manager using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

          (c) To the extent permitted by Section 1.704-2(h)(3) of the Regulations, the Company shall elect not to treat distributions as having been made from the proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Debt.

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, Losses (or items of deduction) shall not be allocated to a Member to the extent that the Member has or would have, as a result of such allocations, an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

     3.4 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

     In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

     Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Manager in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4
DISTRIBUTIONS

     4.1 Distributions and Priority. To the extent the Manager determines the Company has sufficient cash and to the extent permitted by the Act and any lending agreements to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, the Company may make distributions to its Members in respect of their Interests at any time and from time to time as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion. Subject to Sections 4.2 and 4.3, distributions shall be made in the following order and priority:

          (a) First, to the Members (in the proportion that each Member’s Unreturned Capital Contributions bears to the aggregate of all Members’ Unreturned Capital Contributions) until the amount of all Members’ Unreturned Capital Contributions is zero.

          (b) Second, to ROCK OHIO VENTURES I LLC and LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC (in the proportion that each such Member’s Unpaid Additional Preferred Return bears to the aggregate Unpaid Additional Preferred Return) until the Additional Preferred Return has been paid in full.

          (c) Third, to the Members (in the proportion that each such Member’s Unpaid Preferred Return bears to the aggregate of all such Members’ Unpaid Preferred Return) until the Preferred Return of all such Members has been paid in full.

           (d) Thereafter, (1) thirty-eight percent (38%) to ROCK OHIO VENTURES I LLC, (2) two percent (2%) to LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT, LLC, and (3) sixty percent (60%) pro-rata to all Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

     4.2 Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding the priority of distributions in Section 4.1, the Company shall, consistent with any restrictions which may be imposed by any creditor or under any contract of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by applicable law, make distributions (whether pursuant to this Section 4.2 or otherwise) to each Member (1) by April 15 after the end of each taxable year of the Company, in an amount equal to the Year End Tax Distribution, if any, and (2) at such times and in such amounts so that each Member will be able to make timely estimated and final tax payments, if any, of all federal and state income taxes attributable to the portion of the Company’s taxable income, if any, allocated to such Member pursuant to this Agreement and the Code, which distributions shall be credited against the Year End Tax Distribution to be received by the Members; provided that each periodic distribution will not exceed the sum of the State Tax Amount plus the Federal Tax Amount, calculated as though the Taxable Income were equal to the Company’s estimated taxable income from the beginning of the Company’s taxable year through the date of such periodic distribution, less prior periodic distributions for taxes with respect to such taxable year of the Company.

     Distributions under this Section 4.2 for any Fiscal Year shall be treated as distributions made pursuant to Section 4.1; provided that any distribution to a Member pursuant to this Section 4.2 that exceeds the amount that would have been distributed to a Member had the amount been distributed pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be treated as an advance distribution under Section 4.1 and shall be offset against subsequent distributions such Member would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4.1. Nothing in this Section 4.2 shall be construed to restrict any right of the Manager or the Company to declare or make any distribution in addition to those contemplated hereby.

     The “Year End Tax Distribution” means the sum of the “State Tax Amount” and the “Federal Tax Amount.” The “State Tax Amount” means the product of (1) the Company’s taxable income, if any, for the applicable year (determined under the Code) and allocated to the Members pursuant to ARTICLE 3 (“Taxable Income”), multiplied by (2) the Ohio state income tax rate for individuals then in effect. The “Federal Tax Amount” means the product of (1) the amount by which the Taxable Income exceeds the State Tax Amount, multiplied by (2) the highest marginal federal tax rate for individuals then in effect under the Code.

     4.3 Distributions Only From Company Assets. The Members shall look solely to the assets of the Company for any distributions, whether liquidating distributions or otherwise. If the assets of the Company remaining after the payment or discharge, or the provision for payment or discharge, of the debts, obligations, and other liabilities of the Company are insufficient to make any distributions, no Member shall have any recourse against the separate assets of any other Member.

ARTICLE 5

     5.1 Designation and Authority of Manager. ROCK OHIO VENTURES I LLC shall be the initial Manager, and ROCK OHIO VENTURES I LLC may only be removed as the Manager (and any vacancy in the office of Manager may only be filled) by Members holding a majority of the Percentage Interest. The Manager may resign at any time, and the Manager shall resign as Manager if it is finally determined not to be qualified under applicable Gaming Law to serve as Manager and the Manager is unable to cure such lack of qualification within a reasonable period of time. Neither the resignation or removal of a Manager shall affect its Interest, and following any such event, it shall continue to be a Member with all rights and responsibilities as such.

Unless delegated such power in accordance with Section 5.3, no Member, except a Member who is a Manager and acting in such capacity, shall (1) participate in the management of the Company, (2) hold himself out to any third party as an agent of the Company, (3) have any authority to bind the Company or act for the Company in any matter, or (4) shall take any action on behalf of the Company without the approval or authorization of the Manager.

     5.2 Limitation of Liability.

The Manager shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts, including financial advisors, and any act of or failure to act by the Manager in good faith reliance on such advice shall in no event subject the Manager to liability to the Company or any Member.

     5.3 Delegation of Authority. The Manager may, from time to time, delegate to one or more Persons (including any officer of the Company) such authority and duties as the

Manager may deem advisable. Such delegation may include the appointment of officers, which such titles, powers and duties as are determined by the Manager, including day to day management of the Company’s operations. Any delegation pursuant to this Section 5.3 may be revoked at any time by the Manager in its sole discretion and any officer appointed by the Manager shall serve at the pleasure of the Manager and may be removed by the Manager at any time with or without cause. An officer shall perform his or her duties as an officer in good faith and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Company.

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

     7.1 In General. As of the date hereof, each of the Members hereby makes each of the representations and warranties applicable to such Member as set forth in Section 7.2, and such warranties and representations shall survive the execution of this Agreement.

     7.2 Investigation. Each Member hereby represents and warrants that each Member is acquiring its Interest based upon its own investigation, and the exercise by such Member of its rights and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement will be based upon its own investigation, analysis and expertise. Each Member’s acquisition of its Interest is being made for its own account for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof. The Interest acquired by a Member pursuant to this Agreement has not been, and when acquired by the Members will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, and together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Securities Act”) or qualified under any “blue sky” or other securities law of any State of the United States, by reason of exemptions from such registration provisions, which exemptions depend upon, among other things, the good faith nature of the investment intent and accuracy of the Members’ representations as expressed herein. Each Member understands that its Interest must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. Each Member further understands that at the time it wishes to Transfer any portion of its Interest, there may be no public or other market upon which to make a Transfer, and that, even if such a public or other market then exists, a Member may be precluded from Transferring any portion of its Interest under Securities Act “Rule 144” or under this Agreement for various reasons. Each Member acknowledges possessing such

general knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the acquisition of its Interest and, by reason of such financial and business experience, the Member has the capacity to protect the Member’s own interests in connection with such acquisition of its Interest. The Member also acknowledged being financially able to bear the economic risk of its investment, including the total loss thereof.

Any Transfer or attempted Transfer by any Member in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatever. Each Member hereby acknowledges the reasonableness of the restrictions on Transfer imposed by this Agreement in view of the Company’s purposes and the relationship of the Members. Accordingly, the restrictions on Transfer contained herein shall be specifically enforceable. Each Member hereby further agrees to hold the Company, the Manager and each other Member wholly and completely harmless from any cost, liability, or damage (including liabilities for income and other taxes and costs of enforcing this indemnity) incurred by any of such indemnified Persons as a result of a Transfer or an attempted Transfer in violation of this Agreement.

           (a) Conditions to Permitted Transfers. A Permitted Transfer otherwise permitted under this Agreement shall not be a Permitted Transfer, and any attempted Transfer of a Member’s Interest shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatever, unless and until the following conditions are satisfied:

               (i) The transferor and transferee shall execute such documents and instruments of conveyance and assumption as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Manager to effect such Transfer and to confirm the transferee’s agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and assumption of all obligations of the transferor Member with respect to the Interest being transferred.

               (ii) The transferor and transferee shall furnish the Company with the transferee’s taxpayer identification number, sufficient information to determine the transferee’s initial tax basis in the Interest transferred, and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file all required federal and state tax returns and other legally required information statements or returns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make any distribution otherwise provided for in this Agreement with respect to any transferred Interest until it has received such information.

               (iii) The Transfer and Permitted Transferee have been approved by the Ohio Gaming Commission, if required by applicable Gaming Law, and any other governmental or regulatory agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company and whose approval is required under Applicable Law.

          (b) Admission of Permitted Transferee as a Member. A Permitted Transferee of an Interest shall be admitted as a Member in the Company only upon the written approval of the Manager. The rights of a Permitted Transferee who is not admitted as a Member shall be limited to the right to receive allocations and distributions from the Company with respect to the Interest transferred, as provided by this Agreement. The transferee of such Interest shall not be a Member, or have any rights of a Member, with respect to such Interest, unless and until such transferee is admitted as a Member in accordance with this Agreement.

          (c) Effect of Permitted Transfer on Company. The Members intend that the Permitted Transfer of an interest in the Company shall not cause the dissolution of the Company.

     9.2 Approved Sale.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Member shall be obligated in connection with such Approved Sale to indemnify the prospective transferee or its Affiliates with respect to an amount in excess of the aggregate proceeds paid to such Member in connection with such Approved Sale (other than as a result of a breach of its representations and warranties with respect to authorization and ownership of Interests (and any representations and warranties, if required to be made, will be made by all Members and will be uniform in all material respects), as to which no limitation shall apply). The Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the representations and warranties made by the Members (in their capacity as Members) in connection with any Approved Sale.

     9.3 Tag Along Rights. If ROCK OHIO VENTURES I LLC or the affiliated successor to its Interests proposes to sell, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, all or substantially all of its Interests to an unaffiliated person or entity, ROCK OHIO VENTURES I LLC or the affiliated successor to its Interests shall use its best efforts to cause the buyer of such

Interests to offer to purchase all of the Interests owned by LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC or the successor to its Interests for the consideration per proportional share of the Interests, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions, received by ROCK OHIO VENTURES I LLC or the affiliated successor to its Interests for its Interests. If LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC desires to sell all of its Interests in such transaction and the transferee does not agree to purchase all of the Interests owned by LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC in such transaction, ROCK OHIO VENTURES I LLC may not, and shall not, sell any of its Interests in such transaction. The transferee must accept, approve, adopt, and agree in writing to comply with, and be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if such transferee were the Member whose interests it purchased, and such transferee shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as such Member.

     9.4 Redemption of Interests Upon Specified Events. If at any time during the term (as defined in Section 1.5), (a) a Member fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement (the redemption pursuant to the event described in clause (a) is referred to as a “Breach Redemption”) or (b) (i) the ownership of any Interest by any transferee of a Member, or owner or Affiliate of a transferee of a Member, poses a material risk of a potential adverse gaming regulatory consequences to the Company, an Affiliate, a Member or any direct or indirect owner of any Member (the redemption pursuant to the event described in clause (b)(i), a “Transferee Regulatory Redemption”), or (ii) LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC or any other Person admitted as a member of LAKES OHIO DEVELOPMENT LLC or their owners, including as a transferee, poses a material risk of a potential adverse gaming regulatory consequences to the Company, an Affiliate, a Member or any direct or indirect owner of any Member (the redemptions pursuant to the events described in clause (b), including the Transferee Regulatory Redemption, are referred to as a “Regulatory Redemption”, and collectively the events described in clauses (a) and (b) are referred to as the “Buy-Sell Events,” and the Interests of the Member or transferee causing the Buy-Sell Event are referred to as the “Buy-Sell Interest”) then, at any time following the expiration of the Cure Period (as defined below) with respect to such occurrence, the Company shall have the right (and in connection with a Transferee Regulatory Redemption, an obligation) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Buy-Sell Interest on the terms and conditions, and subject to the provisions, set forth in this Section 9.4.

          (a) Cure. There shall be no right to purchase an Interest if the occurrence of a Buy-Sell Event shall have been entirely cured (including the elimination of any potential adverse gaming regulatory consequences to the Company, any Affiliate, a Member or any direct or indirect owner of any Member) prior to the expiration of the Cure Period corresponding thereto. “Cure Period” means, with respect to any Buy-Sell Event, the period beginning on (but not including) the date of notice of the occurrence of a Buy-Sell Event by the Company to the Member

                (ii) Regulatory Redemption. For a sale in connection with a Regulatory Redemption, the applicable Member’s or transferor’s Unreturned Capital Contributions plus the applicable Member’s or transferor’s Unpaid Preferred Return, plus two times the Capital Contribution made by the applicable Member or transferor minus any distributions received by the applicable Member or transferor (and any predecessors) under Section 4.1(d), if any, at the time of the closing of the sale in accordance with the terms hereof.

Once given, a Demand Notice may be revoked or withdrawn at any time prior to the closing of such sale in the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager.

          (c) Obligation to Sell. Upon the occurrence of a Buy-Sell Event and receipt of a Demand Notice, the Member shall then be obligated to sell its Interest for the Purchase Price to the Company or any other Person designated by the Company in accordance with this Section 9.4 in the absence of a cure within the Cure Period.

          (d) Closing.

               (i) Terms of Closing.

At the Closing, the Member shall deliver to the Company a duly executed assignment of its Interest in blank, and shall also, upon the request of the Company, concurrently therewith (or at any time and from time to time thereafter) execute and deliver such other documents and records as the Company determines are reasonably necessary or desirable to conclude the Closing and to otherwise allow the Company to complete the Project or otherwise develop, use, sell, rent or dispose of any Property. Regardless of whether the Member delivers a duly executed assignment, such Member’s interest shall be deemed to have been transferred as of the Closing pursuant to this Section 9.4, and the Member shall no longer be deemed the owner of the transferred Interests and shall have no further rights as a Member of the Company or under this Agreement as of the Closing, other than any rights to receive any unpaid Purchase Price for such Interests.

               (ii) Delivery. Except as otherwise provided in the next sentence, the Company shall deliver to the Member cash for the full amount of the Purchase Price at the Closing, or if later, ten business days after the Purchase Price is determined under this Section 9.4. The Company may instead elect (in the Manager’s discretion) to pay up the Purchase Price in five equal annual installments (beginning one year after the Closing) without interest.

               (iii) Liens. If the Member’s Interest is subject to any Lien, the Company may elect (a) to cause the Purchase Price (or a portion thereof) to be applied to discharge such Lien, (b) to take the Interest subject to such Lien and to reduce the Purchase Price otherwise payable by the Company to the Member by the amount of such Lien, or (c) to terminate the buy-sell proceedings under this Section 9.4 because of the existence of such Lien and in such event pursue any and all remedies available at law and in equity.

          (e) Appointment of Transferee.

     9.5 Distribution Among Members. Upon the occurrence of any Transfer of an Interest during any Fiscal Year, Profits, Losses, each item thereof, and all other items attributable to such interest for such Fiscal Year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Manager.
