Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the
board of directors out of assets legally available therefor.
(b) Voting

more series not exceeding the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock
authorized by these Articles, and to prescribe with respect to each such series
the voting powers, if any, designations, preferences, and relative,
participating, optional, or other special rights, and the qualifications,
limitations, or restrictions relating thereto, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing: the voting rights relating to the shares of
Preferred Stock of any series (which voting rights, if any, may be full or
limited, may vary over time, and may be applicable generally or only upon any
stated fact or event); the rate of dividends (which may be cumulative or
noncumulative), the condition or time for payment of dividends and the
preference or relation of such dividends to dividends payable on any other class
or series of capital stock; the rights of holders of Preferred Stock of any
series in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of
the Corporation; the rights, if any, of holders of Preferred Stock of any series
to convert or exchange such shares of Preferred Stock of such series for shares
of any other class or series of capital stock or for any other securities,
property, or assets of the Corporation or any subsidiary (including the
determination of the price or prices or the rate or rates applicable to such
rights to convert or exchange and the adjustment thereof, the time or times
during which the right to convert or exchange shall be applicable, and the time
or times during which a particular price or rate shall be applicable); whether
the shares of any series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to redemption by
the Corporation and if subject to redemption, the times, prices, rates,
adjustments and other terms and conditions of such redemption. The powers,
designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights may be
made dependent upon any fact or event which may be ascertained outside the
Articles or the resolution if the manner in which the fact or event may operate
on such series is stated in the Articles or resolution. As used in this section
"fact or event" includes, without limitation, the existence of a fact or
occurrence of an event, including, without limitation, a determination or action
by a person, government, governmental agency or political subdivision of a
government. The board of directors is further authorized to increase or decrease
(but not below the number of such shares of such series then outstanding) the
number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that
series. Unless the board of directors provides to the contrary in the resolution
which fixes the characteristics of a series of Preferred Stock, neither the
consent by series, or otherwise, of the holders of any outstanding Preferred
Stock nor the consent of the holders of any outstanding Common Stock shall be
required for the issuance of any new series of Preferred Stock regardless of
whether the rights and preferences of the new series of Preferred Stock are
senior or superior, in any way, to the outstanding series of Preferred Stock or
the Common Stock.
(b) Certificate. Before
the Corporation shall issue any shares of Preferred Stock of any series, a
certificate of designation setting forth a copy of the resolution or resolutions
of the board of directors, and establishing the voting powers, designations,
preferences, the relative, participating, optional, or other rights, if any, and
the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions, if any, relating to the
shares of Preferred Stock of such series, and the number of shares of Preferred
Stock of such series authorized by the board of directors to be issued shall be
made and signed by an officer of the corporation and filed in the manner
prescribed by the NRS.
Section 4. Non-Assessment
of Stock. The capital stock of the Corporation,
after the amount of the subscription price has been fully paid, shall not be
assessable for any purpose, and no stock issued as fully paid shall ever be
assessable or assessed, and the Articles shall not be amended in this
particular. No stockholder of the Corporation is individually liable for the
debts or liabilities of the Corporation.
Section

contrary, the Corporation shall not issue any non-voting equity
securities.

6. Gaming Regulation
Compliance. In the event that any shareholder of the
Corporation becomes the holder of such a proportion of the Corporation’s stock
such that a gaming regulatory authority requires such person to undergo a gaming
suitability review or similar investigative process, such shareholder shall be
required to cooperate with the investigative process in good
faith. In the event that: (a) such shareholder fails or refuses to
participate in such investigative process in good faith, or (b) such person is
found not suitable or is otherwise rejected by the applicable gaming regulatory
authority, the Corporation shall have the option to purchase all or any part of
such shareholder’s stock in the Corporation at a price per share that is equal
to the Corporation’s average closing share price over the thirty calendar days
preceding such purchase.
