ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

S. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement. In order for us to manufacture and sell gaming machines in Nevada, our officers and directors are required to be, and have been or are in the process of being, registered, licensed or found suitable by the Nevada gaming authorities. In addition, under applicable Nevada law and administrative procedure, as a greater than 10% stockholder of WMS, Sumner M. Redstone was required to apply, and has an application pending, with the Nevada gaming authorities, for a finding of suitability as a stockholder of WMS. While this application is pending, Mr. Redstone entered into the S. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement to ensure that the passive investment portion of Mr. Redstone and National Amusements would not change without prior notification of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board and the Nevada Gaming Commission. With the approval of the Nevada gaming authorities, Messrs. Redstone and Nicastro and National Amusements, Inc. agreed to amend the S. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement, effective November 20, 2006, to substitute Mr. Brian R. Gamache for Mr. Nicastro as proxy holder to vote all shares of Common Stock as the proxy of Mr. Redstone and National Amusements, Inc., at any annual, special or adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer, including the right to execute consents, certificates or other documents relating to the Issuer that the law of the State of Delaware may permit or require on any and all matters which may be presented to the stockholders of the Issuer.
 
The S. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement will expire by its terms on August 24, 2010, unless extended by agreement of the parties or terminated upon 30 days written notice. The S. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement will be deemed terminated as to any subject matter that will be presented for approval, consent or ratification to the stockholders of the Company if the Issuer fails to give Mr. Redstone and National Amusements, Inc. 45 days notice of such subject matter. The S. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement will also terminate if Mr. Redstone and National Amusements, Inc. are found suitable as stockholders of the Issuer by the Nevada Gaming Authorities or are no longer subject to the provisions of Nevada gaming laws applicable to holders of more than 10% of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The S. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement is not applicable to any shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock sold or otherwise disposed of by Mr. Redstone or National Amusement, Inc. to any person who is not an affiliate of Mr. Redstone or National Amusements, Inc. Mr. Redstone and National Amusements, Inc. have agreed to give notice of any sale or disposition to the Chairman of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board within 10 days after such sale or disposition. The description of the S. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement set forth above is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the S. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 1 under Item 7 hereof and which is incorporated by reference herein.

P. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement. In November 2002, in connection with Ms. Redstone receiving certain shares of the Issuer’s common stock from her former husband, Mr. Sumner Redstone, pursuant to a settlement of divorce, Ms. Phyllis Redstone entered into the P. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement. Effective October 18, 2006, under the P. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement by an amendment thereto, Mr. Gamache succeeded Mr. Neil Nicatro as proxy holder to vote all shares of Common Stock as the proxy of Ms. Redstone at any annual, special or adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer, including the right to execute consents, certificates or other documents relating to the Issuer that the law of the State of Delaware may permit or require on any and all matters which may be presented to the stockholders of the Issuer.
 
The S. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement will expire by its terms on November 8, 2012, unless extended by agreement of the parties or terminated upon 30 days written notice. The P. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement will be deemed terminated as to any subject matter that will be presented for approval, consent or ratification to the stockholders of the Company if the Issuer fails to give Ms. Redstone 45 days notice of such subject matter. The P. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement is not applicable to any shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock sold or otherwise disposed of by Ms. Redstone to any person who is not an affiliate of Mr. Redstone or National Amusements, Inc. The description of the P. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement set forth above is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the P. Redstone Voting Proxy Agreement, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 2 under Item 7 hereof and which is incorporated by reference herein.

3.1 Each Shareholder, by this Agreement, with respect to the Common Stock that such Shareholder owns beneficially or of record, does hereby constitute and appoint the Proxy Holder, with full power of substitution, during and for the Voting Proxy Term, as their true and lawful attorney-in-fact and proxy, for and in their name, place and stead, to vote all shares of the Common Stock as the proxy of the Shareholders, at every annual, special or adjourned meeting of the Shareholders of the Company, including the right to sign the Proxy Holder's name as Shareholder to any consent, certificate or other document relating to the Company that the law of the State of Delaware may permit or require on any and all matters which may be presented to the Shareholders of the Company. Actions to be taken by Proxy Holder shall be determined by Proxy Holder in his sole and absolute discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, Proxy Holder may exercise all of the voting rights of the Shareholders, including for example, the right to vote or consent to amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of Company, sale of all corporate assets, mergers, consolidations, reductions of capital and dissolutions, except that Proxy Holder shall not sell, assign or otherwise dispose of the Common Stock.

3.4 Proxy Holder shall not be liable to the Company or the Shareholders for any act or omission of the Proxy Holder, or any agent of the Proxy Holder, or be held to any personal liability whatsoever in tort, contract, or otherwise in connection with the performance of the Proxy Holder's obligations pursuant to this Agreement, except for liabilities arising from the Proxy Holder's bad faith, willful misfeasance or reckless disregard of duty. The Proxy Holder shall not be liable except for the performance of any duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Agreement against the Proxy Holder. The Proxy Holder shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Proxy Holder in good faith. In addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, no successor Proxy Holder shall in any way be liable for the acts or omissions of any Proxy Holder or agent of the Proxy Holder occurring prior to the date on which he became a Proxy Holder.
 
3.5 Proxy Holder may consult with counsel, auditors or other experts, and the advice or opinion of such counsel, auditors, or other experts shall be full and complete personal protection to the Proxy Holder in respect of any action taken or suffered by the Proxy Holder in good faith and in reliance upon or in accordance with such advice or opinion.

3.5 Proxy Holder may consult with counsel, auditors or other experts, and the advice or opinion of such counsel, auditors, or other experts shall be full and complete personal protection to Proxy Holder in respect of any action taken or suffered by the Proxy Holder in good faith and in reliance upon or in accordance with such advice or opinion. In discharging his duties, the Proxy Holder may rely upon financial statements of the Company represented to the Proxy Holder to be correct by the Person having charge of the Company’s books of account, or stated in a written report by an independent certified public accountant to present fairly the financial position of the Company. The Proxy Holder may rely, and shall be personally protected in acting upon any instrument, certificate, opinion, report, notice, order or other document of any sort whatsoever delivered to him in connection with this Agreement reasonably believed by him to be genuine.
