The Split-Off is structured as a leveraged management buy-out. The Purchase Price for the Gaming Assets paid by Gemini Gaming consists of (i) the assumption of the Gaming Debt in the approximate aggregate amount of $1.25 million, plus (ii) an amount equal to the net tangible book value of Global Casinos as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter reduced by certain excluded assets and increased by certain excluded debt. The net tangible book value portion of the Purchase Price is evidenced by the Gemini Gaming Purchase Money Note in the principal amount of $962,373 which, together with interest at the rate of 4% per annum, will be payable in quarterly installments of principal and interest for a term of 20 years.
