parties hereto agree that this Section 3.01(e) shall not survive the
Closing Date.

ARTICLE IV
COVENANTS
SECTION 4.01. NO SOLICITATION.
(a) Each Seller agrees that it shall not, nor shall it authorize
or permit any Affiliate, agent, partner or employee of, or any investment
banker, attorney or other advisor or representative of, such Seller to,
directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or initiate, or encourage any inquiries
regarding or the submission of, any Takeover Proposal (including without
limitation any proposal or offer to Target's stockholders) or (ii)
participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any
person any information with respect to, or take any other action to
facilitate the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably
be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that it
is understood that this Section 4.01(a) will not be deemed to have been
violated if in response to an unsolicited inquiry, the Seller states solely
that he or she is subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and PROVIDED
FURTHER, that this Section 4.01(a) and the following Section
7
4.01(b) shall not be deemed to have been violated as a result of any
actions taken by such Seller in his or her capacity as an officer or
director of Target (although Acq Corp reserves all rights and remedies it
may have other than pursuant to this Agreement in respect of conduct of
the sort covered by the foregoing further proviso).
(b) Each Seller agrees that it shall not enter into any
agreement with respect to any Takeover Proposal.
SECTION 4.02. NO TRANSFER; NO INCONSISTENT ARRANGEMENTS. Each
Seller agrees that it shall not (including by way of any gift, sale, pledge
or other disposition, including without limitation in connection with
foreclosures by lenders secured by pledges of Shares) transfer or pledge, or
consent to the transfer or pledge of, any or all of the Shares owned by it or
of any interest therein, enter into any contract, option or other agreement
or understanding with respect to any such transfer of any such Shares, or any
interest therein, grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization
in or with respect to any such Shares, deposit any such Shares into a voting
trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any
such Shares or take any action that would in any way restrict, limit or
interfere or in any way be inconsistent with the performance of its
obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the
Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the later to occur of
(i) June 30, 1998 and (ii) approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by
the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of all shares of
Common Stock entitled to vote thereon, if the Closing has not occurred and no
Seller is in breach hereof, the Sellers, collectively, or any of them, may in
the aggregate (subject to the next following sentence) (i) transfer up to
100,000 Shares in open market sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and (ii) transfer up to 200,000 Shares pursuant to
pledge arrangements securing bona fide commercial loans, PROVIDED that the
terms of all such pledges shall not prohibit the performance by the Sellers
of their obligations under Section 4.07 hereof with respect to such pledged
Shares or otherwise. In the case of any transfers pursuant to clause (i) of
the immediately preceding sentence, the number of Shares permitted to be so
transferred shall be reduced by the percentage equal to the difference
between 100% and the percentage obtained by dividing the number of Shares
transferred pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence by
200,000, and in the case of any transfers pursuant to clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence, the number of Shares permitted to be so
transferred shall be reduced by the percentage equal to the difference
between
8
100% and the percentage obtained by dividing the number of Shares transferred
pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence by 100,000.
SECTION 4.03. FURTHER ASSURANCES. From time to time, whether
before, at, or after the Closing, each party hereto agrees to execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments,
certificates and other documents, and to take such other action, as may be
necessary or advisable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this

Shares in favor of any such transaction) or to cause the elimination of any
circumstance that would cause a condition under Article V hereof not to be
satisfied on the Closing Date.

connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall
be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the
Merger is consummated.

prior to the Closing, no public release or announcement concerning this
Agreement shall be issued by any such party without the prior written consent

which event the other parties hereto shall have the right to comment promptly
on the form and content of the disclosure).

agrees to notify each other party hereto promptly of (a) any event or
condition that, with or without notice or lapse of time, would or could
reasonably be expected to cause any of the representations and warranties
made by such party herein to be no longer complete and accurate as of any
date on or before the Closing Date, or (b) any failure, with or without
notice or lapse of time, on the part of such party to comply with any of the
covenants or agreements on its part contained herein at any time on or before
the Closing Date.

severally agrees to pay to Acq Corp an amount equal to the product of 62.5%

per Share from any sale, transfer or other disposition (including without
limitation to Acq Corp or an affiliate thereof) of its Shares (a "NON-MERGER

that becomes payable under Section 3.01(c) of

Agreement to an Article, Section or Schedule, such reference shall be to an
Article, Section or Schedule of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated.
The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and
shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Whenever the words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in this
Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without
limitation." The Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by such Merger Agreement are transactions contemplated by this

illegal or unenforceable under any Gaming Law, such provision shall be void
and of no force or effect.

the application of any such provision shall be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision hereof. In lieu of any such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as part of
this Agreement a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar in terms
to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision as may be possible or
practicable under the circumstances.
