(i)

The approval by a majority of Rhode Island voters statewide of the referendum question “Shall an act be approved which would authorize a facility owned by Twin River-Tiverton, LLC, located in the Town of Tiverton at the intersection of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Boulevard and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Road, to be licensed as a pari-mutuel facility and offer state-operated video-lottery games and state-operated casino gaming, such as table games?”; and

The operation of casino gaming in the town of Tiverton will play a critical role in the economy of the state and enhance state and local revenues;

(2)

The board of canvassers of the town of Tiverton has certified that the qualified electors of the town of Tiverton have approved authorizing a facility owned by TRT located at the intersection of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Boulevard and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Road in the town of Tiverton to be licensed as a pari-mutuel facility and offer state-operated video lottery games and state-operated casino gaming, such as table games;

and

WHEREAS, Section 4(c) of Article 8 of the 2017 Budget Act provides:

“Newport Grand” when it is referring to a legal entity, means ▇▇ ▇▇ and its permitted successors and assigns under the Newport Grand Master Contract defined in the Regulatory Agreement as the “Newport VLT Contract” and in this Agreement as the “Tiverton VLT Contract”. “Newport Grand,” when it is referring to a gaming facility, means Newport Grand Slots, located at 150 Admiral Kalbfus Road, Newport, Rhode Island, unless and until state-operated video lottery games are no longer offered at such facility in Newport and state-operated video-lottery games are offered at a facility owned by TRT located in Tiverton, Rhode Island, at which time “Newport Grand” shall mean such Tiverton facility.
