The percentage portion of the purchase price shall be paid as follows:


Purchaser intends to develop a destination resort on the Property.  With regard to the casino portion of the development by Purchaser or Myriad Entertainment on the Property, Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller, for the time period specified below, an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the "Gross Gaming Revenue" derived from any and all gaming or gambling activities conducted on the Property (whether the gaming is conducted by Myriad or any other party) (the “Percentage Payment”).


Gross Gaming Revenue is hereby defined by  §75-76-5(p) of the Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended, as now written or as may be modified by the State of Mississippi in the future.  A copy of §75-76-5(p) of the Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”.


The Percentage Payment or Minimum Annual Payment shall be payable to Seller and Kenneth M. Murphree, LLC (the basis and amount of Kenneth M. Murphree, LLC payments, which are to be made by Purchaser in addition to any payments made to Seller, are set forth in paragraph 18 below) as follows:


The First and Second Payments


(i)

The first payment shall be made on or before the 15th day of the month immediately following the six calendar month period which begins on the first day of the month immediately following the month in which gaming operations commenced.  For example, if gaming operations commence April 14, the six month period begins on May 1 and ends on October 31.  The first payment would thus be due on or before November 15.  


The first payment shall cover the entire period from the start of gaming operations through the end of the six month period.  Purchaser shall include a copy of the statements sent to the Mississippi Gaming Commission setting forth Gross Gaming Revenue for each of the months included.  If payment is based on Minimum Annual Payment rather than Percentage Payment, then the month in which gaming operations begins shall be prorated according to days in that month.


(ii)

The second payment shall be made on or before the 15th day of the month immediately following the six month period which begins on the first day of the month following the end of the first six month period.  Based on the example in (i) above, the second six month period would begin November 1 and end on April 30.  The second payment would thus be due on May 15.  Purchaser shall include a copy of the statements sent to the Mississippi Gaming Commission setting forth Gross Gaming Revenue for each of the months included.

Payments After the First and Second Payments


Thereafter, Purchaser shall make payments as follows:


(i)

On or before the first day of the month immediately following payment of the second payment above and on or before the first day of each month thereafter, Purchaser shall pay Seller 1/12 of the Minimum Annual Payment amount and 6% of 1/12 of the Minimum Annual Payment to Kenneth M. Murphree, LLC.


(ii)

On or before the 20th day of month immediately following payment of the second payment above and on or before the 20th day of each month thereafter, Purchaser shall pay Seller and Kenneth M. Murphree, LLC any Percentage Payment due to each based on the previous month’s Gross Gaming Revenue.  Such payment shall be calculated by multiplying Gross Gaming Revenue by the applicable percentage and subtracting the 1/12 Minimum Annual Payment (or 6% of 1/12 Minimum Annual Payment for Kenneth M. Murphree, LLC) amount paid in (i) above. If that calculation is 0 or less, then no Percentage Payment is due for that month.  Purchaser shall include a copy of the statements sent to the Mississippi Gaming Commission setting forth Gross Gaming Revenue for the month.   


(iii)

If, during the applicable Full Year of Gaming Operations, Purchaser has paid an amount that equals or exceeds the Minimum Annual Payment for that Full Year of Gaming Operations, then Purchaser will only make the Percentage Payment, if any, set forth in (ii) above.


(iv)

Due to the timing of payments, it may be possible that in any given Full Year of Gaming Operations, Purchaser makes more in Additional Payments than would otherwise be due in that Full Year of Gaming Operations.  In that event, Purchaser is entitled to offset such overpayment against payments due in the next Full Year of Gaming Operations.  In no event shall Seller, or Kenneth M. Murphree, LLC be obligated to repay any monies to Purchaser.  For example, if during the 1st Year of Full Gaming Operations, Purchaser paid Seller $2.2 million of Additional Payments, but Gross Gaming Revenue totaled $100,000,000, then Purchaser would have overpaid Seller for that year by the amount of $200,000.  Purchaser would then deduct that amount against Additional Payments due in the next Full Year of Gaming Operations until that amount was recovered.


The Additional Payments shall continue for a total of 25 years commencing on the earlier of the start of gaming operations on the Property or January 1, 2011.  


Beginning on the earlier of January 1, 2011 or the start of gaming operations on the Property, and for 25 years thereafter, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the greater of the

Percentage Payment or the Minimum Annual Payment (as defined herein).  The Minimum Annual Payment is defined as follows:

$2,000,000

2nd Year

$2,500,000

3rd Year

$3,000,000

4th Year

$3,500,000

5th Year through 25th Year

$4,000,000


All rights granted herein by this paragraph 2 are assignable, subject to Gaming Commission approval and Paragraph 25.

4.

Inspections and Tests:  Purchaser, or its designees, may, at any time after Seller’s and Purchaser’s execution of this Contract, enter on the Property to make engineering studies, surveys, and other such tests, examinations and inspections as Purchaser may desire as long as such tests, examinations and inspections, do not reasonably interfere with the operations or any current use of the Property.   Purchaser will have all soil test borings, environmental studies, and other reports completed as soon as possible and will provide Seller with a copy.  If the Closing does not occur, Purchaser will make such repairs as necessary to leave the Property in the same condition as it existed prior to entry by Purchaser. Purchaser will notify Shea Leatherman at least one (1) day in advance each time Purchaser intends to enter onto the Property for purposes contemplated herein.  All tests shall be performed within ninety days from the date of last execution hereof.  If any test reveals a defect with the Property which will materially affect Purchaser intended use of the Property, then Purchaser shall give written notice thereof to Seller.  Seller shall have 30 days to cure the alleged defect, failing which, Purchaser shall either have the right to waive the defect and close without regard thereto, or to terminate this Contract and have all monies delivered to the Dulaney Law Firm which were held pursuant to

7.

14.

Severability.  If any provisions of this Contract shall be determined by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, then the remainder of this contract shall not be affected, and this Contract shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained in this Contract.

Page 8 of  22


Myriad - Picture Window

Agreement

July 15, 2008





6% of the gross gaming revenue (or Minimum Annual Payments, which ever is greater) to be paid to Seller by Purchaser pursuant to Paragraph 2.  This will result in an amount equal to 0.12% of the gross gaming revenue (or Minimum Annual Payments, which ever is greater) being paid to Kenneth M. Murphree, LLC.   This payment shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as the payments are to be made by Purchaser to Seller.  Except for the referenced agreements, Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant to each other that no broker or agent is due a commission from the proceeds of the Closing except as specifically stated herein and each hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the other and the Property harmless from the claims of any agent or broker for the payment of a commission.

20.

Deferred Exchange:   In order to permit Seller to implement a deferred (or non-simultaneous) exchange pursuant to I.R.S. regulation Section 1.1031 (k)-1 (the Deferred Exchange Regulations), the parties acknowledge and agree that Seller may cause the Property to be conveyed, or this agreement to be assigned, to a Qualified Intermediary pursuant to the Deferred Exchange Regulations and that at closing, the Property will be conveyed to Purchaser and the Purchase Price will be paid by Purchaser to the Qualified Intermediary.  In the event Purchaser desires to effectuate acquisition using proceeds from a deferred exchange involving other land presently vested in Purchaser, Seller shall accept funds from Purchaser’s Qualified Intermediary and shall recognize that Purchaser’s interest may be assigned to such Qualified Intermediary.  Any deferred exchanges will be completed prior to the closing of this transaction so as to vest title in Purchaser at closing upon the payment of the balance of the Purchase Price.


21.

A material part of the consideration to the purchaser for purchasing is that the Purchaser has the option to qualify this transaction as part of a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  Seller agrees that Purchaser may assign this Agreement to an exchange intermediary of Purchaser's choice.

(c) Shares Legend.  The above named recipient(s) agree to the imprinting of a legend on the certificates representing their shares, in substantially the following form:


THESE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW, OR IN A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

In the event any person entitled to receive Additional Payments, including Seller (or any officer, director, manager, membership owners, etc.), Kenneth M. Murphree, LLC (or any officer, director, manager, membership owners, etc.) or any assignees of Seller or Kenneth M. Murphree, LLC, is required to be approved or licensed by the Mississippi Gaming Commission or its successor (“MGC”), then each such person required to be approved or licensed shall undertake to obtain such approval or licensing.  If any such person is found not suitable or is denied a license, or is otherwise prohibited by the MGC from receiving Additional Payments or part thereof, then Seller, or Kenneth M. Murphree, or their assignees, as applicable, agrees to either restructure ownership and/or management in a way satisfactory to the MGC so as to allow receipt of Additional Payments or part thereof, or to divest themselves of assets or rights that resulted in the need for approval or license.

Agreement

July 15, 2008






If any person otherwise entitled to receive Additional Payments or part thereof is prohibited from receiving such payments, or part thereof, by the MGC (“Prohibited Person”), then Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay that Prohibited Person any part of Additional Payments that are so prohibited.  For example, if a person is prohibited from receiving Percentage Payments by the MGC, but is not prohibited from receiving Minimum Additional Payments, then Purchaser shall be obligated to pay the Minimum Additional Payment or part thereof to such Prohibited Person but shall not be obligated to pay the Percentage Payment to such Prohibited Person, unless and until such Prohibited Person is allowed by the MGC to receive such payments.


Any Percentage Payment which would have been due to the Prohibited Person will be paid to other persons entitled and able to receive such payment.  For example, if Seller transferred its rights to receive Additional Payments to three individuals, one of whom became a Prohibited Person, then the Percentage Payment otherwise due to the Prohibited Person would be paid to the other two assignees of Seller.

In addition, Seller and/or Kenneth M. Murphree, LLC, agree not to distribute any Additional Payments or part thereof to any owners, officers, directors or other persons who are prohibited from receiving such by the MGC.  


Further, any damage caused to  Purchaser as a result of the non-approved/non-licensed party shall be reimbursed to Purchaser by said party.  Purchaser shall verify and report to Seller of any licenses or permits that may be needed and Seller shall immediately initiate and complete the licensing/approval process.
