thereafter until the Closing Date, less any write off of assets requested in

lien, conditional sales agreement, claim, restriction, reservation, covenant,
encumbrance, charge, restraint on transfer, or any title defect of any nature
whatsoever, other than those reflected on the Financial Statements and defects
that do not have a PGI Material Adverse Effect and no other person has any right

values at which such inventories are carried on the December 31, 1997 Balance
Sheet reflect the normal inventory valuation policies of the Business and are in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

spare parts for such tables at a price of PGI's cost plus 15% and access to all
improvements and upgrades.

prior to the Closing. PGI and MIKOHN shall promptly remit to XXXXX any tax
refunds received after the Closing as a result of any over payment of taxes of
PGI paid with respect to periods prior to the Closing. MIKOHN will promptly
provide XXXXX with copies of all correspondence or other information from taxing
authorities with respect to any assessment or proposed assessment of, or any
inquiry or examination by such taxing authorities in connection with, taxes of
PGI covered by the foregoing indemnity. XXXXX shall have the right to take any

hold harmless XXXXX from and against any such tax.

---------
received notice of any default or claim of default under any provision of any
material contract to which PGI is a party and, to XXXXX' knowledge, no event has
occurred which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both),
would constitute a default by PGI (or, to XXXXX' knowledge, any other party
thereto) under any provision thereof, or would permit modification, acceleration
or termination of any contract by any other party thereto or by PGI. There is
set forth in Schedule 11.6 hereto a complete and accurate list of all Gaming

Schedule 11.7 and except for gaming investigations conducted in the ordinary
course of the Business, no material investigation or review by any governmental
entity with respect to PGI is pending or, to XXXXX' knowledge, threatened, nor
has any governmental entity indicated to PGI an intention to conduct the same;
and there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to XXXXX' knowledge,
threatened against or affecting PGI at law or in equity, or before any federal,
state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau,
agency or instrumentality, which either singly or in the aggregate would, if
adversely determined, have a PGI Material Adverse Effect, or which would impair
XXXXX' and PGI's ability to perform this Agreement. Except as set forth in
Schedule 11.7, to XXXXX' knowledge, the Business is not being conducted in
violation of any applicable law, ordinance, regulation, decree or order of any
court or governmental entity which could have a PGI Material Adverse Effect and

Effect (other than matters of public knowledge or which are generally applicable
to the industries in which the Business is conducted).

--------------------------
Schedule 11.8, as of the date hereof and the Closing, PGI has paid or made

accrued through the date hereof to or for the benefit of employees of the
Business and has
17
complied in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and

of PGI with its respective employees (including any threatened union
organization or renegotiation of any union contract) nor any strike or labor
disturbance by any such employees or any other employees of PGI performing
services in connection with the Business, and XXXXX is not aware of any
indication that such a change, strike or labor disturbance is likely.
11.9 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. PGI does not have any pension,
----------------------
profit sharing, savings, bonus, incentive, insurance, welfare, stock option,
severance or vacation or other employee benefit plans, whether written or oral
(including, without limitation, any such plans within the meaning of Section
3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA")) in which any employees of the Business participate ("Benefit Plans"),
except as disclosed in Schedule 11.9. With respect to each Benefit Plan, PGI has
delivered to MIKOHN complete and correct copies of (a) the Benefit Plan (or a
written summary of any unwritten Benefit Plan); (b) any related trust agreement,
insurance contract or other funding vehicle; (c) the last three annual reports
on IRS Form 5500; (d) the latest actuarial valuation report; and (e) any summary
plan description or employee handbook. Those Benefit Plans within the meaning of
Sections 3(2) and 3(37)(A) of ERISA are hereinafter referred to as "Multi-
employer Qualified Plans" or "Multi-employer Plans", and all other Benefit Plans
within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA are hereinafter referred to as
"Single Employer Qualified Plans" or "SEQ Plans."
11.9.1 With Respect to the SEQ Plans:
11.9.1.1 Each SEQ Plan and related trust has
received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with
respect to its qualified status under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of ERISA and,
to the knowledge of PGI, nothing has occurred since the date of such letter
which would adversely affect its validity.
11.9.1.2 All data submitted by PGI to the actuary
for use in the actuarial valuations for all plan years of each SEQ Plan prepared
as of the date hereof was accurate and complete in all material respects, and
each such valuation fairly
18
presents the actuarial position of the respective plan covered thereby as of
such date in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles.
11.9.1.3 Since the effective date of ERISA, no SEQ
Plan or related trust has incurred an "accumulated funding deficiency" (whether
or not waived) as such term is defined in ERISA or in the Code.
11.9.2 With respect to the Multi-employer Plans:
11.9.2.1 PGI has not received notice, or has any
reason to believe, that any other Multi-employer Plan has not received such a
favorable determination letter or any other development since such date which
would cause the loss of such qualified status.
11.9.2.2 All data submitted by PGI to any sponsor
of a Multi-employer Plan with respect to the Multi-employer Plans fairly present
the employee data requested by such sponsors.
11.9.2.3 With respect to each Multi-employer Plan,
PGI has previously disclosed in writing (i) PGI's contribution rate and number
of contribution base units for each of the last three years; and (ii) the
liability which PGI would incur on a "complete withdrawal", within the meaning
of Section 4203 of ERISA, as of the Closing Date without regard to any
limitation, reduction or adjustment of liability under Title IV of ERISA or the
provisions of the plan. With respect to any Benefit Plan or any plan which is
contributed to by any entity treated as a single employer with PGI under Section
414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the code ("ERISA Affiliate") and which is a multi-
employer plan within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA; (iii) neither PGI
nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any withdrawal liability under Section 4201
et seq. of ERISA which had not been satisfied or received notice of any claim or
-- ---
demand for withdrawal liability; (iv) PGI and its ERISA Affiliates have timely
made contributions required by the terms of the plan or any collective
bargaining agreement; and (v) to the knowledge of PGI and its ERISA Affiliates,
no such plan is in reorganization, within the meaning of Section 4241 of ERISA,
or is or may become insolvent, within the meaning of Section 4245 of ERISA, and
no such plan is a party to any pending merger or transfer of assets and
liabilities. Neither PGI nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any withdrawal
liability under Section 4063 or 4064 of ERISA.
11.9.2.4 PGI has not received notice that any
collective bargaining agent with respect to, or sponsor of, a Multi-employer
Plan has terminated, caused the termination
19
of, or intends to terminate, coverage under any Multi-employer Plan of employees
of any facility or business to be acquired by MIKOHN hereunder, or the coverage
of any other participants therein so as to constitute a termination of any
Multi-employer Plan.
11.9.3 Each Benefit Plan and each funding medium which may
be attendant thereto, including group annuity contracts, have been in all
material respects operated and administered in accordance with their provisions
and applicable law. On or prior to the date hereof PGI has contributed to each
SEQ Plan not less than the amounts accrued for such Plan for all plan years
prior to the current plan year and on or prior to the Closing will have
contributed to such plan not less than the amounts required for such plan for
the current fiscal year of the plan prorated for the elapsed portion of such
fiscal year to the Closing. As to any other Benefit Plan or union contract to be
assumed by MIKOHN, PGI has made or will have made prior to the Closing all other
contributions or payments required to be paid or accrued with respect to such
Plan. Other than routine claims for benefits under the Benefit Plans in the
ordinary course of business, there are no actions, suits or claims pending or,
to the knowledge of PGI, threatened against any Benefit Plan or any of its
assets, and PGI has no knowledge of any facts which could give rise to any such
actions, suits or claims. No Benefit Plan is currently under investigation or
audit by a governmental agency and, to PGI's knowledge, no such investigation or
audit is contemplated or under consideration.
11.9.4 PGI has paid all required premium payments to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") with respect to the Benefit Plans
and has not incurred any other liability to the PBGC with respect to any plan
currently or formerly contributed to or maintained by PGI or any ERISA
Affiliate. PGI has timely paid all contributions to any SEQ Plan subject to
Title IV of ERISA. No proceedings have been undertaken by PGI or the PBGC to
terminate any SEQ Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA and there has been no
"reportable event" within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA with respect to
any such plan (for which the 30-day notice requirement has not been waived)
within the last 6 years.
11.9.5 Neither PGI nor any of its subsidiaries, nor any of
its affiliates, directors, officers or employees has, with respect to the
Benefit Plans, engaged in any "prohibited transaction," as such term is defined
in the Code or ERISA, nor have any such Plans, the related trusts or any
trustee, administrator or other "party-in-interest" (as defined in ERISA)
engaged in any such prohibited transaction, which could subject PGI or MIKOHN,
or any of their directors, officers or employees to any sanctions, taxes or
penalties on or with respect to prohibited
20
transactions which may be imposed under the Code, ERISA or any other applicable
law.
11.9.6 To XXXXX' knowledge, neither PGI nor any of its
subsidiaries, nor any of its or their directors, officers or employees, nor to
PGI's knowledge, any other "fiduciary" (as defined in ERISA), has, with respect
to any Benefit Plan, committed any breach of fiduciary responsibility imposed by
ERISA or any other applicable law which could subject PGI or MIKOHN or any of
their directors, officers, employees or persons to liability under ERISA or any
other applicable law.
11.9.7 Each Benefit Plan covers only present or former
employees of PGI. No Benefit Plan provides life or health benefits to former
employees of PGI, other than continuation coverage required by Section 4980B of
the Code and provided at the expense of the former employee.
11.9.8 PGI has no plan or commitment, whether legally
binding or not, to create any additional Benefit Plan or to modify any existing
Benefit Plan except with respect to changes required by applicable law or as
expressly provided for in this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of
this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will
(i) result in any payment becoming due to any current or former employee of PGI,
(ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Benefit Plan, or (iii)
result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such
benefits.
11.10 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Except as set forth in Schedule
---------------------
11.10, to XXXXX' knowledge, the Business as now conducted by PGI does not
infringe any patent, trademark, trade name, trade secret or copyright held by
others or any license, authorization or permit held by PGI, in any manner which
may have a PGI Material Adverse Effect.
11.10.1 Schedule 11.10.1 hereto lists all patents, patent
applications, inventions, trade names, trademarks, service marks, brand names,
copyrights and registrations and applications therefor, owned by or used in the
Business as now conducted by PGI (the "Intellectual Property"). To XXXXX'
knowledge, PGI owns the Intellectual Property, the authorship add inventorship
identified in Schedule 11.10.1 is accurate and the Intellectual Property (except
for patent claims currently under rejection in re-examination proceedings) is
not invalid and is enforceable.
11.10.2 Neither XXXXX nor PGI has granted any licenses or
other rights and has no obligations to grant
21
licenses or other rights to any Intellectual Property other than the licenses
and rights disclosed on Schedule 11.10.2 hereto.
11.10.3 Neither XXXXX nor PGI has made any claim of any
violation or infringement by others of its rights to or in connection with the
Intellectual Property or technology used or held for use in the Business, and
neither XXXXX nor PGI know of any basis for making any such claim except those
claims disclosed on Schedule 11.10.3.
11.10.4 There are no interferences or other contested
proceedings or reexamination proceedings, either pending or, to the knowledge of
XXXXX or PGI, threatened, in the United States Copyright Office, the United
States Patent and Trademark Office or any federal, state or local court or
before any other governmental agency or tribunal, relating to any pending
application with respect to the Intellectual Property except those proceedings
disclosed in Schedule 11.10.4.
11.11 YEAR 2000 ISSUE. XXXXX and PGI acknowledge that the approach
---------------
of the year 2000 has become a potential problem for businesses utilizing
computers in their operations since many computer programs are date sensitive
and will only recognize the last two digits of the year, thereby recognizing the
year 2000 as the year 1900 or not at all (the "Year 2000 Issue"). To XXXXX'
knowledge, except as disclosed in Schedule 11.11, all software programs
developed by PGI and included in the PGI Assets are Year 2000 compliant, that
is, the operation and functionality of such software programs will not be
materially adversely affected by the Year 2000 Issue.

-----------------------

customers and suppliers of the Business that would have a PGI Material Adverse
Effect.

--------------------------------
warranty by XXXXX in this Agreement (including all Exhibits and Schedules
attached hereto) or in any certificate furnished to MIKOHN in connection with

fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

--------------
of 3,000 shares, $.01 par value, of which 2,700 shares are issued and
outstanding. All of the PGI Shares are
22

delivered to MIKOHN at the Closing, will be free from any charge, lien,
encumbrance or adverse claim of any kind whatsoever. At the Closing, XXXXX will
have the absolute unrestricted right, power, authority and capacity to transfer
the PGI Shares to MIKOHN and upon the Closing, without exception, MIKOHN will
acquire from XXXXX legal and beneficial ownership of, good and valid title to,
and all rights to vote, the PGI Shares, free from any charge, lien, encumbrance
or adverse claim of any kind whatsoever. All of the PGI Shares have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. There are no
options, warrants, conversion rights, rights of exchange, or other rights,
plans, agreements or commitments of any nature whatsoever (including, without
limitation, conversion or preemptive rights) providing for the purchase,
issuance or sale of any shares of PGI's capital stock or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of PGI's capital stock.
11.15 SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES. Except for the PGI Affiliates

outstanding capital stock of the PGI Affiliates ("Affiliate Shares"), except as

Closing, except as may be provided in Section 6.14, the Affiliate Shares will be
owned, beneficially and of record, by PGI and, will be free from any charge,
lien, encumbrance or adverse claim of any kind whatsoever. As of the Closing,
PGI will have legal and beneficial ownership of, good and valid title to, and
all rights to vote, the Affiliate Shares, free from any charge, lien,
encumbrance or adverse claim of any kind whatsoever. All of the Affiliate Shares
have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
nonassessable. There are no options, warrants, conversion rights, rights of
exchange, or other rights, plans, agreements or commitments of any nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, conversion or preemptive rights)
providing for the purchase, issuance or sale of any Affiliate Shares or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of Affiliate Shares.
11.16 PROPERTIES. PGI does not own or hold title to any real
----------
property. With respect to the property and assets it leases, PGI is in

charge, encumbrance or claim of any nature whatsoever upon any of the PGI Assets
pursuant to, any agreement or instrument to which MIKOHN is a party or by which

or otherwise to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and

18 NO WAIVER. The failure of any party to insist, in any one or more
---------
instances, upon performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to
take advantage of any of its rights hereunder shall not operate as a waiver
thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power.
19 FLORIDA LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted
-----------
in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida.
20 JURISDICTION AND VENUE. The parties acknowledge and agree that

any commitment on its behalf, PGI shall use its best efforts to preserve the PGI

practice. PGI shall also keep its business organizations at the Business

services of present employees at the Business and shall use its best efforts to

---------
25.1 INDEMNITY BY XXXXX. From and after Closing, XXXXX covenants
------------------
and agrees to indemnify and hold MIKOHN and its affiliates (which shall include
PGI; each a "Purchaser Indemnitee") harmless in respect of any Damages imposed
upon or sustained by a Purchaser Indemnitee by reason of:
25.1.1 any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or
nonfulfillment of any agreement on the part of XXXXX under this Agreement, or in
any certificate or other instruments described and referred to in this
Agreement, or in the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, or to be furnished
to MIKOHN hereunder, unless the Purchaser Indemnitee knew or had reason to know
of any such misrepresentation, breach or nonfulfillment prior to Closing;
25.1.2 any claim or cause of action brought against PGI by
any former employee of PGI relating to or arising from the employment

or Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx relating to that certain License Agreement dated September

-------------------
indemnify XXXXX and his heirs, successors, personal representatives, devisees
and assigns (each a "Stockholder Indemnitee") and hold them harmless in respect
of any Damages imposed upon or sustained by a Stockholder Indemnitee by reason
of any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any agreement
on the part of MIKOHN under this Agreement, or in any certificate or other
instruments described and referred to in this Agreement to be furnished to XXXXX
hereunder, unless the Stockholder Indemnitee knew or had reason to know of any
such misrepresentation, breach or nonfulfillment at the time of Closing.
27 PROCEDURES FOR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.
---------------------------------
27.1 If a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Stockholder Indemnitee (an
"Indemnitee") receives written notice of the assertion of any claim or of the
commencement of any action or proceeding by any entity who is not a party to
this Agreement (a "Third Party Claim") against or affecting such Indemnitee, and
if such assertion were presumed to be true (regardless of the actual outcome)
and a party (the "Indemnifying Party") could be obligated to provide
indemnification under this Agreement as a result of or in connection with such
claim, action or proceeding, such Indemnitee will give such Indemnifying Party
reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event no later than thirty
(30) calendar days after receipt of such written notice of such Third Party
Claim; provided however, that failure to give notice as provided in this Section
27.1 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations
under Section 25 or Section 26 except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party
is actually prejudiced by such failure. Said written notice to the Indemnifying
Party shall set forth the basis of the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail
and include copies of all pertinent correspondence relating to such Third Party
Claim. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume and control the
defense of any Third Party Claim at such Indemnifying Party's sole expense and
by such Indemnifying Party's own counsel (which counsel must be reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnitee), by giving written notice to the Indemnitee (the
"Notice of Defense") no later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of
the above-described notice of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnitee also will
have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim assisted
by counsel of its own choosing, but all fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be paid by the Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee will
cooperate with
32
each other in good faith in such defense and make available all employees and
books and records in its control as reasonably deemed necessary with respect to
such defense (but not to the extent that would require waiver of any privilege).
If the Indemnitee does not receive from the Indemnifying Party a Notice of
Defense with respect to a Third Party Claim within the thirty (30) day period
described above, the Indemnitee may, at its option, elect to solely defend the
Third Party Claim assisted by counsel of its own choosing, and the Indemnifying
Party will be liable for all reasonable costs and expenses, and all settlement
amounts (subject to and in accordance with Section 27.3) or other liabilities,
losses, damages and injuries paid or incurred in connection therewith to the
extent such claim is or would have been indemnifiable under this Agreement if
such claim is or had been proved.
27.2 If, within the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section
27.2, an Indemnitee receives a Notice of Defense from an Indemnifying Party with
respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for
any legal expenses of the Indemnitee incurred after receipt by the Indemnitee of
such Notice of Defense.
27.3 In the event there is a dispute between the Indemnifying
Party and Indemnitee concerning whether a Third Party Claim should be contested,
settled or compromised, it shall be settled, compromised or contested in
accordance with the next succeeding sentences; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Indemnitee, or its respective successors or assigns, shall neither be required
to refrain from paying or satisfying any claim which has matured by court
judgment or decree, unless appeal is taken thereafter and proper appeal bond
posted by the Indemnifying Party, nor shall the Indemnitee be required to
refrain from paying or satisfying any Third Party Claim after and to the extend
that such Third Party Claim has resulted in an unstayed injunction. The
Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnitee's prior written consent
which is not to be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any action or
claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any action, claim
or proceeding for anything other than money damages paid by the Indemnifying
Party unless the settlement does not involve the imposition of any liability or
obligation on the Indemnitee or any restriction on its activities. The
Indemnifying Party may, without the Indemnitee's written consent, settle or
compromise any such action or claim or consent to entry of any judgment with
respect to any such action or claim which requires solely the payment of money
damages by the Indemnifying Party. Subject to the foregoing, in the event that
the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, or the Indemnitee, on the other hand,
has reached a good faith, bona fide settlement, agreement or compromise, subject
to approval hereunder, with any claimant regarding a matter which may be the
subject of
33
indemnification hereunder, and desires to settle on the basis of such agreement
or compromise, such party who desires to so settle or compromise shall notify
the other party in writing of its desire setting forth the terms of such
settlement or compromise (the "Notice of Settlement"). The Third Party Claim may
be settled or compromised on such basis unless within twenty (20) days of the
receipt of the Notice of Settlement the party who issued the Notice of
Settlement receives a notice from the other party of its desire to continue to
contest the matter (the "Notice to Contest") and, in such case:
27.3.1 Should the Indemnitee deliver a Notice to Contest, the
claim shall be so contested and the liability of the Indemnifying Party shall be
limited as provided in Clause 27.3.3 below:
27.3.2 If the settlement or compromise could result in a further
claim for indemnification being made against the Indemnifying Party and if the
Indemnifying Party delivers the Notice to Contest, the claim shall be so
contested and the liability of the Indemnitee shall be limited as provided in
clause 27.3.3 below ; and
27.3.3 If a matter is contested as provided in Sections 27.3.1 or
27.3.2 above and is later adjudicated, settled, compromised or otherwise
disposed of and such adjudication, compromise, settlement or disposition results
in a liability, loss, damage or injury in excess of the amount for which one
party desired previously to settle the matter, then the liability of such party
shall be limited to such lesser proposed settlement amount (plus attorney's fees
and expenses to the date of the proposed but unapproved settlement to the extent
provided for in Section 27.3 above) and the party contesting the matter shall be
solely responsible for any additional amount.
28 LIMITATIONS OF INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS. The Purchaser
------------------------------------------
Indemnitee shall not have any right to indemnification under this Agreement
until the aggregate of all Damages Claimed by all Purchaser Indemnitees exceeds
$250,000, and in such event the indemnification obligations of the Stockholder
Indemnitee hereunder shall apply to all Damages in excess of such amount until
such Damages aggregate $2,500,000, from which point the Stockholder Indemnitee
shall have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees against further
Damages.
29 LOSSES NET OF INSURANCE, ETC. The amount of any Damages suffered as
----------------------------
a result of an injury to an Indemnitee for which indemnification is available
hereunder, shall be net of any insurance proceeds, if any, actually received by
the Indemnitee in respect of such injury and (i) increased to take account of
any
34
net tax cost incurred by the Indemnitee arising from the receipt of indemnity
payments hereunder (grossed up for such increase an any tax consequences
resulting from any payments pursuant to this Section 29 and (ii) reduced to take
account of any net tax benefit realized by the Indemnitee arising from the
incurrence or payment of any such Damages. In computing the amount of any such
tax cost or tax benefit, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to recognize all other
items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item
arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or
payment of any indemnified Damages. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement
shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes, unless
a final determination (which shall include the execution of a Form 870-AD or
successor form) with respect to the Indemnitee causes any such payment not to be
treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Federal tax purposes. The
purpose of this Section 29 is to put the Indemnitee in such a position as if the
event for which indemnification is provided hereunder and Damages awarded had
not occurred.
30 REMEDIES.
--------
30.1 NO LIMITATION OF REMEDIES PRIOR TO CLOSING. Prior to the
------------------------------------------
Closing, no rights and remedies expressed hereunder are intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, but every such right or remedy shall be cumulative
and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies herein conferred or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, including without
limitation the right to specific performance.
30.2 LIMITATION OF REMEDIES AFTER CLOSING. Except for claims
------------------------------------

inaccuracy or failure of any of the warranties, representations, conditions,
covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and in any certificates or
documents delivered pursuant hereto.
30.3 NO LOST PROFITS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
---------------
this Agreement, except for claims based on fraud or intentional

indirect or incidental damages of any kind or nature or lost profits.
31 COVENANT NO TO COMPETE.
----------------------

years commencing on the date of the Closing, he shall not
35
directly or indirectly own, manage, control or participate in the ownership,
management or control of or become affiliated or associated as a consultant,
principal, agent, stockholder, partner, investor, lender or otherwise with any
firm, association or other business entity, or otherwise engage in any business
enterprise that competes with the businesses of PGI or MIKOHN, including without

sale, lease or distribution of surveillance systems and equipment to the gaming

The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing herein shall be construed to prevent
XXXXX from purchasing a Non-controlling Interest in any publicly traded company;
owning or operating a casino; or collecting or taking any actions in connection
with collecting the CTI Receivable.
31.2 The geographic scope of this covenant not to compete is
worldwide.
31.3 If, at the time of enforcement of any provision of this
covenant, a court shall hold that the period, scope or area restrictions are
unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the
maximum period, scope or area adjudged reasonable under such circumstances shall
be substituted for the stated period, scope or area.
31.4 MIKOHN, PGI and XXXXX agree that all of the
consideration payable to XXXXX pursuant to this Agreement is allocable to the
PGI Shares and that no part of the consideration payable to XXXXX pursuant to
this Agreement is allocable to this covenant. The parties agree that all filings
that they make with federal and state taxing authorities will be consistent with
this Section 31.4.
32 STANDSTILL.
----------
32.1 MIKOHN and PGI agree that all pending lawsuits and
arbitration proceedings between MIKOHN and PGI shall be stayed during the term
of this Agreement, and neither party shall take any further action against the
other in such proceedings through discovery, motion, order to show cause or
36
otherwise. The parties will stipulate to such orders as may be necessary to
effect the intent of this standstill provision. Each party shall agree to extend
any time period applicable to the other which elapses during the period any
proceedings are stayed by a period equal to the length of time this Agreement is
in effect and has not been terminated.
32.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this standstill
provision shall not apply to any claims or causes of action arising from
activities subsequent to the date this Agreement is signed by all parties and
shall not apply to activities reasonably necessary to avoid dismissal for
failure to prosecute or similar events that might jeopardize a party's claims or
defenses.
32.3 So long as this Agreement is in effect and has not
been terminated, MIKOHN shall continue to make royalty payments to PGI in the
same manner such royalty payments were made in January, February and March,

or claims now held by either party against the other and shall not be deemed a

by this Agreement in the event this Agreement [1] is terminated for any reason
prior to the Closing or [2] expires by its terms.

MIKOHN is not a suitable party to own or hold the PGI Shares or otherwise due to
a fact or circumstance within the control of MIKOHN, MIKOHN shall give XXXXX
prompt notice of such fact. XXXXX shall have the right to terminate this

Re: First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 9, 1998 (the
"Agreement") among Mikohn Gaming Corporation ("Mikohn"), Progressive
Games, Inc. ("PGI") and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx ("Xxxxx")
Dear Xxxx:
This letter shall constitute the First Amendment to the Agreement.
The following language from Section 11.5.4 of the Agreement shall be
deleted in its entirety:
The foregoing notwithstanding, prior to the Closing, PGI may
transfer to XXXXX twenty (20) Gaming Tables, including all
electronics and layouts and two (2) complete sets of spare
parts, at no charge to XXXXX for XXXXX'x use in any legal
casino in which XXXXX holds a 50% or greater interest;
provided, however, XXXXX shall not displace any Gaming Tables
under license from PGI in operation at such casino before
XXXXX acquired a 50% interest therein. Unless prohibited by
law or regulatory authority having jurisdiction, PGI shall
agree to provide XXXXX with spare parts for such tables at
a price of PGI's cost plus 15% and access to all improvements
and upgrades.
In place of the foregoing language deleted from Section 11.5.4, the
following shall be inserted:

The foregoing notwithstanding, at the Closing, PGI shall
