(q) No Proceedings. Except as disclosed in the Offering Circular and other than ongoing general licensing investigations conducted in the ordinary course of business, there is no action, claim, suit, demand, hearing, notice of violation or deficiency, or proceeding

(including, without limitation, any investigation or partial proceeding, such as a deposition), domestic or foreign (collectively, “Proceedings”), pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuers, threatened, either (i) in connection with, or that seeks to restrain, enjoin or prevent the consummation of, or that otherwise objects to, any of the Operative Documents or any of the Transactions, or (ii) that could, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

All Material Permits are valid and in full force and effect. Each of the Regulated Persons is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all Permits (including, without limitation, Permits with respect to engaging in gaming or racing operations) necessary or advisable to own, lease, use and operate the properties and assets and to conduct and carry on the businesses described in the Offering Circular, other than where such failure to be in compliance would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Operative Documents, nor the compliance with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation of any of the Transactions, will allow or result in, and no event has occurred which allows or results in, or after notice or lapse of time would allow or result in, the imposition of any material penalty under, or the revocation or termination of, any Material Permit or any material impairment of the rights of the holder of any Material Permit. Neither of the Issuers has received any notice from any issuer, and the Issuers have no actual knowledge, that any issuer is considering limiting, conditioning, suspending, modifying, revoking or not renewing any Material Permit.

The assets of each of the Issuers include all of the assets and properties necessary or required in, or otherwise material to, the conduct of the businesses of each of them as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted (as described in the Offering Circular), and such assets are in working condition, except where the failure of such assets to be in working condition would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the properties of the Issuers (including, without limitation, all buildings, structures, improvements and fixtures located thereon, thereunder, thereover or therein, and all appurtenances thereto and other aspects thereof) is otherwise suitable, sufficient, adequate and appropriate in all respects (including physical, structural, operational, legal, practical and otherwise) for its current and proposed use, operation and occupancy, except, in each such case, for such failures to meet such standards as would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Insurance. As of the Closing, each of the Issuers maintains reasonably adequate insurance covering its properties, operations, personnel and businesses against losses and risks in accordance with customary industry practice, and all such insurance is outstanding and duly in force.

(w) Real Property. No condemnation, eminent domain, or similar proceeding exists, is pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuers, is threatened, with respect to or that could affect any real properties owned by either of the Issuers, except for such proceedings as would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. No real property owned by either of the Issuers is subject to any sales contract, option, right of first refusal or similar agreement or arrangement with any third party. There is no real property currently under contract or subject to an option in favor of either of the Issuers, except for real property which the failure of the Issuers to acquire, would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(x) Related Party Transactions. Except as disclosed in the Offering Circular, there are no related party transactions that would be required to be disclosed in the Offering Circular if the Offering Circular were a prospectus included in a registration statement on Form S-1 filed under the Act.

(y) Security Interests. Upon execution and delivery of the Security Documents by the Issuers and Parent, in each case, to the extent it is a party thereto, and the issuance of the Notes, the Security Documents to which it is a party will create, in favor of the Secured Party for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in (subject to Permitted Liens) all of the right, title and interest of the Issuers and Parent, as the case may be, in the Collateral covered by the Security Documents and the proceeds thereof. Upon: (i) the filing or recording of applicable Security Documents or appropriate Uniform Commercial Code financing statements with the appropriate filing, records, registry, and/or other public office (with respect to filings to be made in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, within three (3) months of the date of the applicable Security Document, and with respect to filings in the U.S. Copyright Office within one (1) month of the date of the applicable Security Document), together with the payment of the requisite filing or recordation fees related thereto, (ii) in the case of each Securities Account and the Investment Related Property therein (as each such term is

defined in the Security Agreement) with respect to which a control agreement, in the form of Exhibit B to the Security Agreement, has been executed and delivered, and (iii) in the case of each Deposit Account (as defined in the Security Agreement) and the cash and other funds on deposit therein with respect to which a control agreement, in the form of Exhibit C to the Security Agreement, has been executed and delivered, the Security Interests will constitute first priority security interests in (subject to Permitted Liens), such Collateral (other than insurance policies). As of the Closing Date, the Collateral will be subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.

(z) Taxes. All material tax returns required to be filed by either of the Issuers in any jurisdiction (including foreign jurisdictions) have been filed and, when filed, all such returns were accurate in all material respects, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other charges (including, without limitation, withholding taxes, penalties and interest) due or claimed to be due from either of the Issuers have been paid, other than those being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, or those that are currently payable without penalty or interest and, in each case, for which an adequate reserve or accrual has been established on the books and records of the Issuers, as applicable, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States, consistently applied (“GAAP”). There are no actual or proposed additional tax assessments for any tax period against either of the Issuers that would, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books and records of the Issuers in respect of any tax liability for any tax periods not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments of tax or re-assessments of additional tax for any such period.

(aa) Intellectual Property. The Issuers own, possess or are licensed under, and have the right to use, all trademarks, service marks, trade names and other intellectual property (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) currently used in and material to the conduct of their business, free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens. To the knowledge of the Issuers, no claims have been asserted by any person challenging the use of any such Intellectual Property by either of the Issuers and there is no valid basis for any such claim, and the use of such Intellectual Property by the Issuers will not infringe on the Intellectual Property rights of any other person.

(bb) Accounting Controls. Each of the Issuers maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) material transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, (ii) material transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any material differences.

(cc) Financial Statements. The unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 2005 of the Company contained in the Offering Circular (the “Company Financial Statements”) presents fairly the financial position of the Company as of its date, and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(dd) No Material Adverse Change. Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Offering Circular, except as disclosed in the Offering Circular,

(i) neither of the Issuers has incurred any liabilities, direct or contingent, that are material, singly or in the aggregate, to any of them, or has entered into any material transactions not in the ordinary course of business, (ii) there has not been any material decrease in the capital stock or membership interests, as the case may be, or any material increase in long-term indebtedness or any material increase in short-term indebtedness of either of the Issuers, or any payment of or declaration to pay any dividends or any other distribution with respect to either of the Issuers, and (iii) there has not been any material adverse change in the properties, business, prospects, operations, earnings, assets, liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuers taken as a whole (each of clauses (i) and (iii), a “Material Adverse Change”). To the actual knowledge of the Issuers after reasonable inquiry, there is no event that is reasonably likely to occur, which if it were to occur, could, singly or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except such events that have been disclosed in the Offering Circular.

(ee) Ratings. No “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act (i) has imposed (or has informed either of the Issuers that it is considering imposing) any condition (financial or otherwise) on the Issuers’ retaining any rating assigned to any securities of either of the Issuers, or (ii) has indicated to either of the Issuers that it is considering (A) the downgrading, suspension, or withdrawal of, or any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change in, any rating so assigned, or (B) any change in the outlook for any rating of any securities of either of the Issuers.

(ff) Solvency. Each of the Issuers is incurring its respective indebtedness under the Notes for proper purposes and in good faith. Immediately before and after giving effect to the issuance of the Notes, for each of the Issuers (on a consolidated basis) considered as going concerns, (i) its assets at a fair valuation exceed the sum of its debts; (ii) the present fair salable value of its assets is not less than the amount that will be required to pay its probably liability on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured, (iii) it has and will have adequate capital with which to conduct the business it is presently conducting and presently anticipates conducting; and (iv) it does not intend to incur, and does not believe and reasonably should not believe that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as those debts become due. Neither of the Issuers is aware of any reason why it would be inappropriate to consider the Issuers as a going concern. For purposes of this paragraph, “debts” includes contingent and unliquidated debts, at a fair valuation.

(gg) No Solicitation. Neither of the Issuers nor any of their affiliates nor anyone acting on their behalf has (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in, or that has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Notes or to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Notes, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Notes, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of either of the Issuers.

Resales are made to Accredited Investors, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of such Accredited Investors contained in the Accredited Investor Letters executed by such Accredited Investors. No form of general solicitation or general advertising (including, without limitation, as such terms are defined in Regulation D under the Act) was used by either of the Issuers or any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective representatives in connection with the offer and sale of any of the Notes or in connection with Exempt Resales. No securities of the same class as the Notes have been offered, issued or sold by either of the Issuers or any of their respective affiliates within the six-month period immediately prior to the date hereof.

(ii) ERISA. Neither of the Issuers nor any of their respective “Affiliates” maintains a plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code, or is a “party in interest” or a “disqualified person” with respect to any employee benefit plans. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred in connection with any employee benefit plan that could result in either of the Issuers or any such “Affiliate” incurring any liability, fine or penalty that could, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors nor any trade or business under common control with the Issuers or the Guarantors (for purposes of Section 414(c) of the Code) maintains any employee pension benefit plan that is subject to Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“ERISA”).

The terms “employee benefit plan,” “employee pension benefit plan,” and “party in interest” shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3 of ERISA.

Neither of the Issuers has taken, and none of them will take, any action that may cause this Agreement or the issuance of the Notes to violate or result in a violation of Section 7 of the Exchange Act (including, without limitation, Regulation T (12 C.F.R. Part 220), Regulation U (12 C.F.R. Part 221) or Regulation X (12 C.F.R. Part 224) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

(kk) No Brokers. Neither of the Issuers has dealt with any broker, finder, commission agent or other person (other than the Initial Purchaser) in connection with the Offering and neither of the Issuers is under any obligation to pay any broker’s fee or commission in connection with the Offering (other than commissions and fees to the Initial Purchaser).

Each of the Issuers, Parent and DJL shall, and each of the Issuers shall cause the Guarantors, if any, to, jointly and severally, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) the Initial Purchaser (any of such persons being hereinafter referred to as a “controlling person”), and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Initial Purchaser and any such controlling person (collectively with the Initial Purchaser, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (including, without limitation, costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending against any of the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue

statement of a material fact contained in the Term Sheet or the Offering Circular (or any amendment or supplement thereto) and (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that none of the Issuers, Parent, DJL or any Guarantor shall be liable under the indemnity provided in this Section 8(a) to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any Losses that (A) result solely from an untrue statement of a material fact contained in, or the omission of a material fact from, any Term Sheet, which untrue statement or omission was completely corrected in the Offering Circular (as then amended or supplemented) if it shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment that (1) such Purchaser Indemnified Party sold the Notes to the person alleging such Loss and failed to send or give, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Offering Circular (as then amended or supplemented), if required by law to have so delivered it, and (2) the Issuers had previously furnished copies of the corrected Offering Circular to such Purchaser Indemnified Party within a reasonable amount of time prior to such sale or such confirmation, and (3) the corrected Offering Circular, if delivered, would have been a complete defense against the person asserting such Loss; or (B) are based on an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with the Furnished Information. None of the Issuers, Parent, DJL or the Guarantors (if any) shall be liable under this Section 8 for any settlement of any claim or action (other than settlements permitted by Section 8(b)(3)) effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuers shall notify the Initial Purchaser promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which either of the Issuers is aware in connection with the matters addressed by this Agreement which involves either of the Issuers, Parent, DJL, any of the Guarantors (if any) or any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties.

(b) Actions Against Parties; Notification. (1) If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the party or parties from which such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Parties” and each, an “Indemnifying Party”); provided, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties shall not relieve any of the Indemnifying Parties from any obligation or liability except to the extent (but only to the extent) that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal) that such Indemnifying Party has been prejudiced materially by such failure.

(2) The Indemnifying Parties shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party, within 20 Business Days after receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such Proceeding, to assume, at their expense, the defense of any such Proceeding; provided, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Parties have agreed to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Parties shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding or shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and one or more Indemnifying Parties (or any affiliates or controlling persons of any of the Indemnifying Parties), and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are in addition to, or in

conflict with, those defenses available to the indemnifying party or such affiliate or controlling person (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Parties in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties; it being understood, however, that, the Indemnifying Parties shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Party).

(3) None of the Issuers, Parent, DJL, the Guarantors (if any), the Initial Purchaser, their respective controlling persons nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents shall consent to entry of any judgment in or enter into any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) unless such judgment or settlement includes, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all Losses that may arise from such Proceeding or the subject matter thereof (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto).

(c) Indemnification of Issuers, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, DJL and Guarantors. The Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuers, Parent, DJL and the Guarantors (if any) and each of their controlling persons and the respective members, managers, officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of the Issuers, Parent, DJL and the Guarantors (if any) and any such controlling person to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers, Parent, DJL and the Guarantors (if any) to each of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties stated in Section 8(a), but only with respect to Losses that are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with the Furnished Information. The Initial Purchaser shall not be liable under this Section 8(c) for any settlement of any claim or action (other than settlements permitted by Section 8(b)(3)) effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any liability of the Initial Purchaser hereunder shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the excess (such excess, the “Aggregate Amount”) of (i) the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Initial Purchaser from the sale of the Notes over (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate price at which the Initial Purchaser purchased the Notes from the Issuers and (B) the amount of any Losses that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties otherwise have been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement of such omission or alleged omission.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 8 would otherwise apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this Section 8), then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers, Parent, DJL and the Guarantors (if any), on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, from the Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by

clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuers, Parent, DJL and the Guarantors (if any), on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuers, Parent, DJL and the Guarantors (if any), on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers, Parent, DJL and the Guarantors (if any), on the one hand, and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, bear to the total price of the Notes in Exempt Resales as set forth on the cover page of the Offering Circular. The relative fault of the Issuers, Parent, DJL and the Guarantors (if any), on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers, Parent, DJL and the Guarantors (if any), on the one hand, or the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 was available to such party.

Each party hereto agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the Aggregate Amount. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Nonexclusive Remedy. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 are in addition to any liability that any of the Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties, and do not limit in any way rights or remedies which may otherwise be available at law or in equity.

Form of Negative Assurance Letter

In addition, we have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Issuers and Parent, representatives of the independent accountants of the Issuers, representatives of the Initial Purchaser and counsel for the [Initial Purchaser] [the Issuers and Parent], at which the contents of the Offering Circular and related matters were discussed. We do not pass upon, or assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Offering Circular and have not made any independent check or verification thereof (except to the limited extent referred to in paragraph(s) [for opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ & Maw: 9(b) and 11] [for opinion of Lane & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇: 3] of our opinion to the Initial Purchaser dated the date hereof). On the basis of the foregoing, no facts have come to our attention that have caused us to believe that the Offering Circular, as of its date and as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that in each case we do not express any view as to the financial statements, schedules and other financial information included therein or excluded therefrom). For purposes of the foregoing, we note that the Offering Circular was prepared in the context of a Rule 144A transaction and not as a part of a registration statement under the Securities Act and does not contain all of the information that would be required in a registration statement under the Securities Act.

Exhibit 9(a)(ix)(B)

Form of Opinion of Lane & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
Special Iowa Counsel and Special Iowa Regulatory Counsel

Our opinions expressed below are limited to the laws of the State of Iowa, and to the extent applicable, the Federal Law of the United States, and only to the Iowa operations and activities of the Issuers.

1. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of each of the Mortgage and any other Security Document governed by Iowa Law (the “Iowa Security Documents”) by the Issuers, each of the Iowa Security Documents constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Issuers, enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, equitable subordination, reorganization, readjustment of debt, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally, (ii) the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity); or (iii) limitations on the availability or enforceability of the remedies of specific performance or injunctive relief contained in the Operative Documents, all of which may be limited by equitable principles or applicable laws, rules, regulations, court decisions and constitutional requirements.

2. Except as disclosed in the Offering Circular, there is no Proceeding before or by any Governmental Authority now pending or to the best of our knowledge, without special inquiry beyond that stated in the opinion, threatened either (a) that seeks to restrain, enjoin, prevent the consummation of or otherwise challenge any of the Operative Documents or any of the Transactions or (b) that could, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

3. The terms of the Security Documents conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Offering Circular. The information in the Offering Circular under [“Offering Circular Summary—The Company—Limited Competition,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—Competition,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—Governmental Regulation,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to this Offering—Required Regulatory Redemption,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—Liquor Regulation,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—Environmental Matters,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—Taxation,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to this Offering—Ability to Realize on Collateral,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to this Offering—Mechanics’ Liens,” “The Transactions,” “Business—Competition,” “Business— Properties” and “Regulatory Matters”] [to be updated based on Offering Circular] to the extent that it constitutes matters of law, summaries of legal matters, summaries of securities, instruments, agreements or other documents, summaries of proceedings or legal conclusions, is complete and correct in all material respects.

4. Neither of the Issuers nor Parent is in violation of or is in default under, to the best of our knowledge, any Applicable Law, except for such violations or defaults that could not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

5. No authorization, approval, consent, license or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, any Iowa gaming authority or regulatory body), other than have been obtained on or before the Closing Date, is required in connection with, or as a condition to, the execution, delivery or performance of the Operative Documents or for the consummation of the Transactions.

6. Neither the execution or delivery of any of the Operative Documents nor the consummation of any of the Transactions will conflict with, violate, constitute a breach of or a default

under (with the passage of time or otherwise), require the consent of any person under (other than consents already obtained), or result in the imposition of a Lien on any properties of either of the Issuers or Parent (other than as contemplated by the Offering Circular or the Security Documents) or an acceleration of indebtedness pursuant to, any Applicable Law (including, without limitation any applicable provision of law or regulation of the State of Iowa).

7. Each of the Issuers possesses all Permits required or necessary to own or lease, as appropriate, and to operate its properties and to carry on its business as now or proposed to be conducted as set forth in the Offering Circular, except where the failure to obtain such Permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Issuers has fulfilled and performed all of its obligations with respect to such Permits and no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any other material impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit. To the best of our knowledge, neither of the Issuers has received any notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any such Permit, except where such revocation or modification would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Issuers of the Operative Documents, to the extent they are a party thereto, and the consummation by each of the Issuers of the Operative Transactions will not result in the condition, termination, suspension or revocation of any Permit of either of the Issuers or result in any other impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit.

8. The Company possesses a validly authorized and issued riverboat gaming license from the State of Iowa and is in good standing with Iowa gaming regulators.

9. Neither the Trustee nor any present or future owner of a Note is or will be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in the State of Iowa or to comply with the requirements of any foreign lender statute, or is or will become subject to any income, franchise or similar tax imposed by the State of Iowa or any subdivision thereof, solely by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Documents and the acquisition and retention of the Liens created and perfected under the Security Documents.

10. The Mortgage creates in favor of the Trustee a valid and enforceable mortgage lien on, and security interest in, the right, title and interest of the Company in the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Mortgage), all as security for the payment of the Obligations (as such term is defined in the Mortgage). The Mortgage is in appropriate form for recording in the office of the County Recorder of Worth County, Iowa (the county in which the Land (as such term is defined in the Mortgage) is located), both as a mortgage and as a “fixture filing” within the meaning of the Iowa UCC (as defined below). Upon such recordation, the mortgage Lien of the Mortgage will be perfected with respect to the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the Land and Improvements (as such terms are defined in the Mortgage) and Proceeds (as such terms is defined in the Mortgage), and no other filing or recording of the Mortgage or any other instrument will be necessary to continue the perfection of the mortgage Lien of the Mortgage. Upon such recordation, the security interest in Fixtures (as such term is defined in the Mortgage), and Proceeds of Fixtures (as such term is defined in the Mortgage) will be perfected, and no other filing or recording of the Mortgage or any other instrument will be necessary to continue the perfection of such security interest of the Mortgage in Fixtures and Proceeds of Fixtures.

11. The Security Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Trustee in all right, title and interest of DJL in the Collateral under Article 9 of the Iowa Uniform Commercial Code (the “Iowa UCC”), all as security for the payment of the Secured Obligations (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement). The Financing Statement (as such term in defined in the Mortgage), is in appropriate form for filing with the Iowa Secretary of State pursuant to the Iowa UCC. Upon the filing of

the Financing Statement in the office of the Iowa Secretary of State, the security interest created by the Security Agreement in those items and types of such Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing Iowa UCC financing statements with the Iowa Secretary of State will be perfected.

15. No documentary, stamp or intangible tax, transfer tax or similar charge is payable under Iowa law in connection with the execution, delivery, filing, recordation or performance of the Security Documents in the State of Iowa. However, such counsel advises you that statutory filing fees are payable, calculated on a per document or per page basis, or a combination thereof.

16. The Security Documents contain terms and provisions necessary to permit the Trustee, following the occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Indenture), to exercise the rights and remedies commonly and customarily available to secured lenders in the State of Iowa holding mortgages and security interests in properties similar to the Mortgaged Property and Collateral under the laws of the State of Iowa in transactions involving substantial amounts of credit.

17. Certain of the Operative Documents provide that they are governed by the laws of the State of New York. An Iowa court or a federal court in Iowa applying Iowa principles of choice of law, in a properly presented case, would uphold the aforesaid choice-of-law provision. Moreover, in the event that the laws of the State of Iowa were applied to govern such Operative Documents, such Operative Documents will not violate any applicable laws (including usury laws) of the State of Iowa.

18. The Construction Contract and the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by the Issuers, as applicable, and the Construction Contract has been duly executed and delivered by the Issuers, as applicable. The Construction Contract is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Issuers, as applicable, enforceable against each of the Issuers, as applicable, in accordance with its terms.
