EXHIBIT A
FORM OF IRREVOCABLE PROXY
IRREVOCABLE PROXY
The undersigned Shareholders of Flamingo Corp., a Florida corporation
(the "Company"), hereby irrevocably (to the fullest extent permitted by law)
appoint and constitute Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx and Seagull, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Acquiror"), and each of them, the attorneys and proxies
of the undersigned with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the
full extent of the undersigned's rights with respect to (i) the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record by the
undersigned as of the date of this proxy, which shares are specified on the
final page of this proxy and (ii) any and all other shares of capital stock of
the Company which the undersigned (individually or jointly) may acquire after
the date hereof. (The shares of the capital stock of the Company referred to in
clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence are collectively
referred to as the "Shares.") Upon the execution hereof, all prior proxies given
by the undersigned with respect to any of the Shares are hereby revoked, and no
subsequent proxies will be given with respect to any of the Shares.
This proxy is irrevocable, is coupled with an interest and is granted
in connection with the Voting, Cooperation and Indemnification Agreement, dated
as of the date hereof, between Acquiror and the undersigned (the "Agreement"),
and is granted in consideration of Acquiror entering into the Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof, among Acquiror, Flamingo
Acquisition Corp., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of
Acquiror, and the Company (the "Reorganization Agreement"). Capitalized terms
used but not otherwise defined in this proxy have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Agreement.
The attorneys and proxies named above will be empowered, and may
exercise this proxy, at any time during the period from the date hereof through
the Expiration Date at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, however
called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, or in any written
action by consent of shareholders of the Company, to (i) appear, or cause the
holder of record as of the Record Date to appear, at any annual or special
meeting of shareholders of the Company (including the Company's Shareholder
Meeting) for the purpose of establishing a quorum, and (ii) vote or cause to be
voted the shares (A) in favor of the Merger and the other Transactions, the
execution and delivery by the Company of the Reorganization Agreement and the
Plan and the adoption and approval of the terms thereof and in favor of the
Transactions and each of the other actions contemplated by the Reorganization
Agreement and the Plan and any action required in furtherance hereof and
thereof; (B) against any other action, agreement or transaction that would,
directly or indirectly, result in an Acquisition Transaction; and (C) against
any action, agreement or transaction that is intended or could reasonably be
expected (x) to facilitate a person other than the Acquiror in acquiring the
Company or (y) to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or
materially adversely affect the consummation of the Merger.
The undersigned Shareholders may vote the Shares on all other matters.

This proxy shall be binding upon the heirs, successors and assigns of
the undersigned (including any transferee of any of the Shares).
Any term or provision of this proxy which is invalid or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or
unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this proxy or affecting the
validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this proxy in
any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this proxy is so broad as to be
unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is
enforceable.
This proxy shall terminate upon the Expiration Date.
