In accordance with the requirements of the Redemption Notice, such Disqualifying Person or its Affiliate shall surrender the certificate(s), if any, representing the Securities to be so redeemed. The rights of redemption described in this Article SEVENTH shall be freely assignable by the corporation or the applicable Affiliated Company.

Commencing on the date that a Racing Authority serves notice of a determination of unsuitability or disqualification of a holder of Securities, or the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a Person is a Disqualifying Person, and until the Securities (or portion thereof, as set forth in the preceding paragraph) Owned or Controlled by such Person are Owned or Controlled by a Person who is not a Disqualifying Person, such Disqualifying Person and its Affiliates shall not: (i) receive any dividend, payment, distribution or interest with regard to the Securities or (ii) exercise, directly or indirectly or through any proxy, trustee, or nominee, any voting or other right conferred by such Securities, and such Securities shall not for any purposes be included in the Securities of the corporation or the applicable Affiliated Company entitled to vote.

Without limitation of any other method of notice (including electronic notice) that results in actual notice to the recipient, notices given by the corporation pursuant to this Article SEVENTH, including Redemption Notices, shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered by personal service, placed in the custody of a recognized overnight courier service (in which case such notice shall be deemed delivered on the date of scheduled delivery), or sent by first-class


mail, postage prepaid (in which case such notice shall be deemed delivered on the third business day after mailing), in each case addressed to the Person at such Person’s address as it appears on the books and records of the corporation or Affiliated Company, as applicable.

Any Disqualifying Person and any Affiliate of a Disqualifying Person shall indemnify and hold harmless the corporation and its Affiliated Companies for any and all losses, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ costs, fees and expenses, incurred by the corporation and its Affiliated Companies as a result of, or arising out of, such Disqualifying Person’s continuing Ownership or Control of Securities, failure or refusal to comply with the provisions of this Article SEVENTH, or failure to divest himself, herself or itself of any Securities when and in the specific manner required by the Racing Authorities or this Article SEVENTH.

The corporation shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this Article SEVENTH and each Person who Owns or Controls Securities shall be deemed to have consented to injunctive or other equitable relief and acknowledged, by virtue of such Ownership or Control, that the failure to comply with this Article SEVENTH will expose the corporation and the Affiliated Companies to irreparable injury for which there is no adequate remedy at law and that the corporation and the Affiliated Companies shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce the provisions of this Article SEVENTH.

The right of the corporation or any Affiliated Company to redeem Securities pursuant to this Article SEVENTH shall not be exclusive of any other rights the corporation or any Affiliated Company may have or hereafter acquire under any agreement, provision of the bylaws of the corporation or such Affiliated Company or otherwise. To the extent permitted under applicable Racing Laws, the corporation shall have the right, exercisable in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, to propose that the parties, immediately upon the delivery of the Redemption Notice, enter into an agreement or other arrangement, including, without limitation, a divestiture trust or divestiture plan, which will reduce or terminate a Disqualifying Person’s Ownership or Control of all or a portion of its Securities.

Nothing contained in this Article SEVENTH shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action, to the extent permitted by law, as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the corporation or the Affiliated Companies from the denial or loss or threatened denial or loss of any Racing License of the corporation or any of its Affiliated Companies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board of Directors may conform any provisions of this Article SEVENTH to the extent necessary to make such provisions consistent with Racing Laws. In addition, the Board of Directors may, to the extent permitted by law, from time to time establish, modify, amend or rescind bylaws, regulations, and procedures of the corporation not inconsistent with the express provisions of this Article SEVENTH for the purpose of determining whether any Person is a Disqualifying Person and for the orderly application, administration and implementation of the provisions of this Article SEVENTH. Such procedures and regulations shall be kept on file with the secretary of the corporation and shall be made available for inspection and, upon reasonable request, mailed to any record holder of Securities.


The Board of Directors shall have exclusive authority and power to administer this Article SEVENTH and to exercise all rights and powers specifically granted to the Board of Directors or the corporation, or as may be necessary or advisable in the administration of this Article SEVENTH. All such actions which are done or made by the Board of Directors in good faith shall be final, conclusive and binding on the corporation and all other Persons; provided, that the Board of Directors may delegate all or any portion of its duties and powers under this Article SEVENTH to a committee of the Board of Directors as it deems necessary or advisable.

If any provision of this Article SEVENTH or the application of any such provision to any Person or under any circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Article SEVENTH.

Except as may be required by any applicable Racing Law or Racing Authority, the Board of Directors may waive any of the rights of the corporation or any restrictions contained in this Article SEVENTH in any instance in which and to the extent the Board of Directors determines in its sole and absolute discretion that a waiver would be in the best interests of the corporation. Except as required by a Racing Authority, nothing in this Article SEVENTH shall be deemed or construed to require the corporation to repurchase any Securities Owned or Controlled by a Disqualifying Person or an Affiliate of a Disqualifying Person.

The restrictions set forth in this Article SEVENTH shall be noted conspicuously on any certificate evidencing the Securities, and record holders of Securities shall be provided with notice of the restrictions set forth in this Article SEVENTH, in accordance with the requirements of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and any applicable Racing Laws.

EIGHTH: In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter and repeal the by-laws of the corporation; provided, however, that with respect to the powers of stockholders to make, alter, amend or repeal the by-laws, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to make, alter amend or repeal the by-laws of the corporation. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the by-laws of the corporation shall so provide.

NINTH: Except as otherwise fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article FIFTH of this Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock to elect additional directors, the total number of directors constituting the entire Board shall be fixed from time to time solely by resolution of the Board. Any newly created directorship or any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors for any cause may be filled solely by a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, although such majority is less than a quorum, and each director so elected shall hold office until the expiration of the term of office of the director whom he or she has replaced or until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

TENTH: Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.


ELEVENTH: Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by, or other wrongdoing by, any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (v) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each such case subject to said Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article ELEVENTH.

TWELFTH: No director shall be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a director shall be liable to the extent provided by applicable law, (i) for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of this Article TWELFTH shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed, signed and acknowledged this certificate of incorporation this 6th day of February, 2012.
