Section IX-909 - Miscellaneous

A. Dissolution. The corporation may be dissolved and the operations thereof wound up only upon vote of the Louisiana Legislature to so dissolve and wind up the corporation or to repeal the enabling legislation adopted by the Legislature relating to the corporation and regulation of a casino . Within 90 days of the date of the final adoption of any such legislation, the board shall appoint one or more liquidators, which liquidator or liquidators shall have all of the rights, powers, duties and authority of the officers of the corporation and the Board, and the rights, powers, duties and authority of the officers and directors of the corporation shall cease, except the power and authority of the board to remove or replace any of the liquidators, and such other rights, powers, duties and authority as may be retained by the board or granted by law. In all other respects and except as otherwise provided by the legislature, the corporation shall be liquidated in the same manner and according to the same rules that govern the liquidation of Louisiana corporations (R.S. 12:141 et seq.). In the event of dissolution or final liquidation of the corporation, the board shall, after paying or making provision for the payment of all the lawful debts and liabilities of the corporation, distribute all the assets of the corporation to the state of Louisiana or any successor corporation, commission, board or entity designated by the legislature.

B. No Instrumentality of the State; No Private Inurement. While, as stated in the statement of authority, the corporation is not an agency or political subdivision of the state of Louisiana, the corporation has been formed for a public purpose and shall not be deemed an instrumentality of the state of Louisiana except as otherwise specifically provided in the Act or these articles. No part of the net earnings, gains or assets of the corporation shall inure to the benefit of or be distributable to its directors, officers, other private individuals or organizations organized and operated for a profit (except that the corporation shall be authorized and empowered to pay reasonable compensation for services rendered and to make payments and distributions in furtherance of the purposes hereinabove stated).

C. Amendment. An amendment, modification, deletion or alteration (an "amendment") of these corporate articles, or any provision hereof, may be adopted by vote of at least six members of the board at a duly called regular or special meeting of the board; provided that, the text of the proposed amendment shall be submitted to the Board at the regular meeting most recently preceding the regular meeting at which such amendment is to be considered. Any amendment so adopted by the board shall not become effective until adopted in accordance with LAC 42:IX.1109 of the corporation's bylaws and rules of procedure.
