Section 2.01 Place and Time of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders may be held at such place, on such date and at such time as may be designated by the Board of Directors.
Section 2.02 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such place, on such date and at such time as designated by the Board of Directors. The purpose of
this meeting shall be for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting. Except as otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation of the Corporation (as amended or amended
and restated from time to time, the “Articles of Incorporation”) or applicable law, the Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual
meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.03 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes shall be called by the Secretary at the written request of a majority of the total number of directors, by the Chairman of the Board, by the President or by the stockholders owning a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the
purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice. Except as otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or applicable law, the Board of Directors
may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.04 Quorum; Adjourned Meetings. The holders of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote present in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any
matter) shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any annual or special meeting. If a quorum is not present at a meeting, those present shall
adjourn to such day as they shall agree upon by majority vote. Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. However, if a new record date is fixed
for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each stockholder of record as of the new record date. At adjourned meetings at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at
the meeting as originally noticed. If a quorum is present, the stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
Section 2.05 Organization. At each meeting of the stockholders, the Chairman of the Board or in his or her absence the President or in his or her absence the chairman chosen by a majority of the voting
power of the stockholders present in person or proxy shall act as chairman; and the Secretary of the Corporation, or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary, or in his or her absence any person whom the chairman of the meeting shall appoint,
shall act as secretary of the meeting.
Section 2.06 Voting. Each stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of stock having voting rights held
by such stockholder and registered in his, her or its name on the books of the Corporation. Upon the request of any stockholder present in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders and entitled to vote at such meeting, or if directed by
the chairman of the meeting in his or her discretion, the vote on any question before a meeting or the election of directors shall be by written ballot. All questions at a meeting, other than the election of directors (as provided below), shall be
decided by a majority vote of the number of shares entitled to vote represented at the meeting at the time of the vote except where otherwise required by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended or
amended and restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”). For the election of directors, the persons receiving the largest number of votes cast (up to and
including the number of directors to be elected) shall be directors.
Section 2.07 Inspectors of Election. At each meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of such meeting may appoint two inspectors of election. Each inspector of election so appointed shall first subscribe
an oath or affirmation to execute the duties of an inspector of election at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Such inspectors of election, if any, may (a) ascertain the number of shares
outstanding and the voting power of each; (b) determine the number of shares represented at a meeting and the validity of the proxies or ballots; (c) count all votes and ballots; (d) determine any challenges made to any determination made by the
inspectors; (e) certify in a report in writing to the secretary of such meeting the determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of all votes and ballots. An inspector of election need not be a stockholder of the
Corporation, and any officer or employee of the Corporation may be an inspector of election on any question other than a vote for or against his or her election to any position with the Corporation or on any other question in which he or she may be
directly interested.
Section 2.08 Notices of Meetings and Consents. Except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or by the Nevada Revised Statutes (as amended from time to time, the “NRS”), a written notice of each annual and special meeting of stockholders shall be
given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of such meeting to each stockholder of record of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting by delivering such notice of meeting to such stockholder personally or depositing the
same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to him at the post office address shown upon the records of the Corporation. Service of notice is complete upon mailing. Every notice of a meeting of stockholders shall state the place, date
and hour of the meeting, the means of electronic communication, if any, by which the stockholder or the proxies thereof shall be deemed to be present and vote and, in the case of a special meeting the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is
called. The notice shall be delivered in accordance with, and shall contain or be accompanied by such additional information as may be required by, the NRS, including, without limitation, NRS 78.379, 92A.120 or 92A.410

Section 2.09 Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize a proxy to represent him at the meeting by an instrument executed in writing. Each such proxy shall be
valid until its expiration or revocation in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. A proxy may be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient to support an
irrevocable power. Subject to the above, any proxy may be revoked if an instrument or transmission revoking it or a properly created proxy bearing a later date
is filed with or transmitted to the Secretary or another person appointed by the Corporation to count the votes of stockholders and determine the validity of proxies and ballots, or, in the case of a meeting of stockholders, the stockholder revokes
the proxy by attending the meeting and voting the stockholder’s shares in person, in which case, any vote cast by the person or persons designated by the stockholder to act as a proxy or proxies must be disregarded by the Corporation when the votes
are counted.
Section 2.10 Waiver of Notice. Notice of any annual or special meeting may be waived either before, at or after such meeting in writing signed or by transmission of an electronic record by the person or
persons entitled to the notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the
transacting of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 2.11 Written Action. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the
actions so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be required to authorize or take such
action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
Section 2.12 Order of Business.
(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. At any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted or considered (including, in the case of an annual meeting, nominations of persons for election to
the Board of Directors), as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. For such business to be properly brought before an annual meeting, nominations and proposals of other business must be: (a) specified in the Corporation’s notice of
meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before such meeting, by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) otherwise properly requested to be brought

proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or other business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that no action shall be taken
on such nomination or other proposal and such nomination or other proposal shall be disregarded.

convened.
Section 3.08 Quorum and Voting. A majority of the directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the

Section 3.09 Vacancies. Any vacancy among the directors or increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled for the unexpired term by the majority vote of the directors then in office though

Directors or any one or more directors be so removed, new directors may be elected at the same meeting.
Section 3.11 Committees of Directors. The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors, designate one or more committees, each to consist of one or more of
the directors of the Corporation, which, to the extent provided in the resolution, may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more
directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of any member of such committee or committees, the member or members thereof
present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Such
committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined by the resolution adopted by the directors. The committees shall keep regular minutes of their proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required.

directors or committee members consent thereto in writing. The written consent may be signed manually or electronically (or by any other means then permitted under the NRS), and may be so signed in counterparts, including, without limitation,
facsimile or email counterparts, and the written consent shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.
Section 3.13 Compensation. Directors who are not salaried officers of the Corporation may receive a fixed sum per meeting attended or a fixed annual sum, or both, and such other forms of reasonable
compensation as may be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. All directors shall receive their expenses, if any, of attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof. Any director may serve the Corporation in any other capacity and receive proper compensation therefor. If the Board of Directors establishes the compensation of directors pursuant to this Section 3.13,
such compensation is presumed to be fair to the Corporation unless proven unfair by a preponderance of the evidence.
7
Section 3.14 Conference Communications. Directors may participate in any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any duly constituted committee thereof, by means of any conference telephone, electronic
communications, videoconferencing, teleconferencing or other comparable communication technique or technology permitted under the NRS, including, without limitation, a telephone conference or similar method of communication whereby all persons

other security interest or similar right to acquire Securities or (ii) the entering into of any swap, hedge or other arrangement that results in the acquisition of any of the economic benefits of ownership of Securities.

Transfer, a “Prohibited Transfer”).
(ii) The restrictions set forth in Section 8.05(c)(1)
shall not apply to a proposed Transfer, and a Transfer shall not be treated as a Prohibited Transfer hereunder, if the transferor or the transferee obtains prior approval of the proposed Transfer by the Board of Directors. As a condition to
granting its approval pursuant to this Section 8.05(c)(2), the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, require and/or obtain (at the expense of the transferor and/or transferee) such documentation, information and action, if any, as it
determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate, including, without limitation, representations and warranties from the transferor and/or transferee, such opinions of counsel to be rendered by counsel selected by (or acceptable to) the Board of

any Prohibited Transfer, and the purported transferee of a Prohibited Transfer (the “Purported Transferee”) shall not be recognized as a security holder of the Corporation
for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the Invalid Securities. The Purported Transferee shall not be entitled with respect to such Invalid Securities to any rights of the applicable class of security holders of the Corporation, including, without
limitation, any right to vote such Invalid Securities, to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof and to effect any Transfer thereof.
(ii) Once Invalid Securities exist, the Corporation may
require, including, but not limited to, as a condition to the registration of the Transfer of any Securities that may be Invalid Securities or the payment of any dividend or distribution on any such Securities, that the proposed transferee or payee
furnish to the Corporation all information reasonably requested by the Corporation to permit a determination of whether such Securities are Invalid Securities. The Corporation may make such arrangements or issue such instructions to the applicable
transfer agent, registrar, depositary, trustee or other securities intermediary as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be necessary or advisable to implement this Section 8.05(d), including, without limitation, authorizing such transfer
agent, registrar, depositary, trustee or other securities intermediary to require an affidavit from a proposed transferee or payee regarding such Person’s actual and constructive ownership of any such Securities, the transfer of any such Securities
and other evidence that a Transfer will not be prohibited by this Section 8.05 or Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation as a condition to registering any such Transfer or paying any such dividend or distribution.
(iii) If a Prohibited Transfer has occurred: (1) the
Prohibited Transfer and, if applicable, the registration of such Prohibited Transfer, shall be void ab initio and have no legal effect, (2) the Purported
Transferee shall be bound by the terms of the Redemption Notice and Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation with respect to the Invalid Securities purportedly Transferred, (3) the Redemption Notice shall thereafter constitute a binding
agreement on the part of the Corporation to redeem, and on the part of the Purported Transferee to sell, the Invalid Securities in accordance with Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation (such redemption and sale, the “Purported Transferee Redemption”) and (4) the Purported Transferee Redemption shall thereafter be effectuated in accordance with paragraph (A)(2) of Article VIII of the Articles of

original Purchase Price (as defined in paragraph (J)(6) of the Articles of Incorporation) of the Disqualified Holder to whom the Redemption Notice was given); provided
that the Corporation shall pay the Redemption Price of any Invalid Securities redeemed in a Purported Transferee Redemption to the Purported Transferee of the Invalid Securities so redeemed, in which case such payment shall extinguish any
obligation of the Corporation to make payment in respect of such Invalid Securities to the Disqualified Holder that effectuated the applicable Prohibited Transfer; provided
further that if the date specified in the Redemption Notice shall have already passed, the Purported Transferee Redemption shall take place at such date and time as the Corporation reasonably selects by notice to the Purported Transferee.
15
(iv) The recourse of any Purported Transferee to the
Corporation in respect of any Prohibited Transfer shall be limited to the Redemption Price as determined in accordance with Section 8.05(d)(3).
(v) If the Purported Transferee fails to surrender the
Invalid Securities for redemption in accordance with Section 8.05(d)(3), then the Corporation may, in such manner and at such time, as determined by the Board of Directors, enforce the provisions hereof, which may include the institution of legal
proceedings to compel the surrender. Nothing in this Section 8.05(d) shall (a) be deemed inconsistent with any Prohibited Transfer of the Invalid Securities provided in this Section 8.05 being void ab initio or (b) preclude the Corporation in its discretion from immediately bringing legal proceedings without a prior demand.
(e) Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any security holder subject to the provisions of this Section 8.05 who violates the provisions of this Section 8.05 and any Persons controlling, controlled by or under
common control with such security holder shall be jointly and severally liable to the Corporation for, and shall indemnify and hold the Corporation harmless against, any and all damages suffered as a result of such violation, including, but not
limited to, damages resulting from the Corporation’s inability to secure and maintain in good standing any licenses, contracts, franchises and other regulatory approvals related to the Corporation’s business, and attorneys’ and auditors’ fees
incurred in connection with such violation.
(f) Compliance.
(i) The Corporation shall have the power to make
appropriate notations upon any certificates representing Securities or its stock and other Securities transfer records and to instruct any transfer agent, registrar, depositary, trustee or other securities intermediary with respect to the
requirements of this Section 8.05 for any uncertificated Securities or Securities held in an indirect holding system.
(ii) The Board of Directors shall have the power to
decide all matters necessary for determining compliance with this Section 8.05, including, without limitation, determining (A) whether a Transfer is a Prohibited Transfer, (B) whether an instrument constitutes a Security, (C) the interpretation of
any provision of this Section 8.05, and (D) any other matter that the Board of Directors determines to be relevant. The good faith determination of the Board of Directors on such matters shall be conclusive and binding on all persons and entities
for the purposes of this Section 8.05.

maintain in good standing and renew all licenses, contracts, franchises and other regulatory approvals related to the operation of gaming and related businesses now or hereafter engaged in by the Corporation or any of its affiliates within or
without the United States of America, the Corporation will conduct a suitability analysis of each Significant Stockholder (as defined below) and intends to require all relevant information pertaining to suitability and/or qualification, as those
terms are commonly understood in gaming laws applicable to the Corporation, from such Significant Stockholder in connection therewith. “Significant Stockholder” means any stockholder of the Corporation who, together with all affiliates or
associates of such stockholder, beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, five percent or more of any class of capital stock of the Corporation. For purposes
