2
Partners Limited Partnership, New Generation Limited Partnership, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxx Venture Fund I (collectively the “Bondholders”).
Whereas the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trans World Gaming of Louisiana, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (collectively the “Company”), have issued the 12% senior secured bonds due December 31, 2005 in the principal sum of $4.8 million dollars (the “Bonds”) to the Bondholders in the principal amounts together with unpaid interest due as indicated on Schedule A; and
Whereas the Bondholders now desire to surrender and exchange their Bonds for 37,233,334 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share of the Company, in the aggregate, (the “Common”);
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Exchange of Bonds for Common.
The Company and the Bondholders agree to exchange the Bonds for the Common as set forth on Schedule A. The exchange shall be deemed effective on the Closing Date, as defined below. On the Closing Date, each outstanding Note shall be deemed to represent the number of shares of Common into which it may be exchanged and shall no longer represent debt of the Company. Each Bondholder agrees to surrender its Note to the Company not less than ten (10) Business Days following written notification that all conditions (other than delivery of Notes) set forth in Section 2 have been met. The number of shares of Common to be received shall be determined by dividing the sum of the Bond Amount for each Bondholder and the Accrued Interest therefore as of December 31, 2001, as set forth on Schedule A hereto, by $.18 (the “Exchange Price”).
2. Conditions to Closing of the Exchange.
Upon the terms and satisfaction of each of the following conditions, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the Schedules attached and made a part of this Agreement, the Company and the Bondholders agree to exchange the Bonds for the Common on the Business Day which is the last day the conditions set forth in this Section 2 are satisfied (the “Closing Date”). The Company may waive the timely delivery of Notes as a condition to Closing. In the event the Closing Date has not occurred by February 28, 2002, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated at the written election of any Bondholder or the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Business Day” shall be any day other than Saturday or Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the city of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.
(a) Acceptance by the Company and all of the Bondholders of a satisfactory Agreement (including the Schedules annexed hereto), due execution by all parties of this Agreement and the delivery of each Note;
(b) All representations and warranties of the Company and the Bondholders contained herein and in all Exhibits annexed hereto shall remain true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date;
(c) The Company shall have obtained all permits and qualifications required by any applicable state law for the issuance of the Common, or shall have the availability of exemptions therefrom. At the Closing Date, all laws and regulations to which Bondholders and the Company are subject shall legally permit the issuance of the Common and cancellation of the Bonds;
(d) Delivery of any third party consents and satisfactory evidence of the resolution of any conflicts as set forth on Schedule B.
On the Closing Date, the Bondholders will cease to have any right to payment of principal and interest on the Bonds in whole or in part or any claim to the security for the Bonds, and will become the holders of the Common with all rights and preferences in connection therewith.

(e) Intent. Without limiting the ability to resell the Common pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, each Bondholder has no present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) at any time to sell the Common to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, each Bondholder does not agree to hold the securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the securities at any time in accordance with federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition. Without limiting its ability to resell the securities, each Bondholder represents that the Common are acquired for each Bondholder’s own account, for investment purposes only and not for distribution or resale to others.

(h) Absence of Conflicts. Except as disclosed on Schedule B, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other document or instrument executed in connection herewith, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and compliance with the requirements thereof, will not (a) violate the organizational documents of any of the Bondholders; (b) violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on each Bondholder, or, to the knowledge of each Bondholder; (c) violate any
5
provision of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which each Bondholder is a party or is subject, or by which any Bondholder or any of its assets is bound which violations have not been waived hereby; (d) conflict with or constitute a material default thereunder; (e) result in the creation or imposition of any lien pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement, or constitute a breach of any fiduciary duty owed by any Bondholder to any third party; or (f) require the approval of any third-party (which has not been obtained) pursuant to any material contract, agreement, instrument, relationship or legal obligation to which each Bondholder is subject or to which any of its assets, operations or management may be subject. With respect to this subsection (h), the terms “indenture, instrument and agreement” or allusion thereto shall specifically exclude any such indenture, agreement or instrument between or among the Company and/or any of its affiliates on the one hand and any Bondholder on the other hand.

(k) Exemption from Registration. Each Bondholder acknowledges and understands that the Common has not been registered under the Securities Act due to an exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act.
(l) No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Each Bondholder understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by the Company to each Bondholder in connection with the Exchange constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Each Bondholder has relied on, and has consulted with, such legal, tax and investment advisors as any Bondholder, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its exchange of the Bonds for the Common.
(m) Bondholder Responsibility. The Company acknowledges that (i) all of the obligations of each Bondholder are several and not joint (it being the parties’ intent that each Bondholder will be responsible only for its own obligations), and (ii) each representation and warranty made herein by or as to each Bondholder relates only to such Bondholder, and that no Bondholder is liable for breach of any representation or warranty made by or as to any other Bondholder.
5. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
The Company hereby covenants as follows:
(a) Registration Rights.
(1) Demand Registration

6
(2) Termination, Fees and Expenses

The Company shall bear the entire cost and expense of any registration of securities under this Section 5(a) hereof.

In addition the Company shall:
(A) furnish to the holder such numbers of copies of a summary prospectus or other prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act, and such other documents, as the holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the securities owned by the holder.
(B) use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the holder shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable such holder to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such holder, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified or to file therein any general consent to service of process;
(C) use its best efforts to list such securities on any securities exchange on which any securities of the Company is then listed, if the listing of such securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange;
(D) enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, if the offering is an underwritten offering, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering;
(E) notify the holder of Registerable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto covered by such registration statement is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, of the happening of any event of which it has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; and
(F) furnish, at the request of the holder on the date such Registerable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration or, if such Registerable Securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date the registration statement with respect to such Registerable Securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purpose of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the holder making such request, covering such legal matters with respect to the registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the holder of such Registerable Securities may reasonably request and are customarily included in such an opinion and (ii) letters, dated, respectively, (1) the effective date of the registration statement and (2) the date such Registerable Securities are delivered to the underwriters, if any, for sale pursuant to such registration, from a firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Company, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the holder making such request, covering such financial, statistical and accounting matters with respect to the registration in respect of which such letters are being given as the holder of such Registerable Securities may reasonably request and are customarily included in such letters; and
(G) take such other actions as shall be reasonably requested by any holder to facilitate the registration and sale of the Registerable Securities.
(b) Reservation of Common Stock. As of the Closing Date, the Company will have reserved free of preemptive rights, the Common to be exchanged for the Bonds. Such number of shares of Common to be reserved shall be calculated based upon the aggregate Exchange Price set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement and on Schedule A hereto.
(c) Notice of Breaches. The Company on the one hand, and each Bondholder on the other, shall give prompt written notice to the other of any breach by it of any representation, covenant, warranty or other agreement
7
contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit annexed hereto, as well as any events or occurrences arising after the date hereof, which would reasonably be likely to cause any representation, covenant, or warranty or other agreement of such party, as the case may be, contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit annexed hereto, to be incorrect or breached as of such Closing Date. However, no disclosure by either party pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to cure any breach of any representation, warranty or other agreement contained in this Agreement or any Exhibit annexed hereto.
(d) Rule 144 Compliance. The Company covenants and agrees that for so long as any of the Common remain outstanding and continue to be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), the Company shall cooperate in order to permit resales of the Underlying Common pursuant to Rule 144. The Company shall provide its transfer agent any and all papers necessary to complete the transfer under Rule 144, including, but not limited to, letters of counsel to its transfer agent, and the Company shall continue to file all material required to be filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

14. INDEMNIFICATION.
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Bondholder and each agent and affiliate of each Bondholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable and documented costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), to which any of the Bondholder may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon the breach by the Company of any term of this Agreement. Each Bondholder agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each officer, director of the Company or person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable and documented costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) to which the Company or any such officer, director or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon the breach by such person of any term of this Agreement.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this section, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party unless the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to its final conclusion. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnifying party different from or in conflict with any legal defenses which may be available to the indemnified party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable only for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate firm of attorneys for all of the indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified parties). No settlement of any action against an indemnified party shall be made without the prior written consent of such indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Each party hereby agrees that if another party to this Agreement obtains a judgment against it in such a proceeding, the party which obtained such judgment may enforce same by summary judgment in any courts having jurisdiction over the party against whom such judgment was obtained, and each party hereby waives any defenses available to it under local law and agrees to the enforcement of such a judgment. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address set forth herein.
