with respect to periods prior to the Closing. MIKOHN will promptly provide ▇▇▇▇▇

material contract to which PGI is a party and, to ▇▇▇▇▇' 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 ▇▇▇▇▇' 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

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 of, or intends to terminate, coverage under
any Multi-employer Plan of employees of any facility or business to be acquired

constitute a termination of any Multi-employer Plan.

provisions and applicable law. On or prior to the date hereof PGI has

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 transactions which may be imposed under the Code, ERISA or
any other applicable law.
11.9.6 To ▇▇▇▇▇' 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
19
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
---------------------
▇▇▇▇▇' 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,

11.11 YEAR 2000 ISSUE. ▇▇▇▇▇ 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 ▇▇▇▇▇' knowledge,
except as disclosed in Schedule 11.11, all software programs developed by PGI

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)

it) to initiate, solicit or facilitate, directly or indirectly any inquiries or
the making of any proposal with respect to the sale, lease or other disposition
of the stock or assets of PGI ("Other Transaction"), engage in any discussions
or negotiations concerning, or provide to any person or entity any information
or data relating to PGI, for the purpose of, or otherwise cooperate in any way
with or assist or participate in, or facilitate any inquiries or the making of
any proposal which constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, a

18 NO WAIVER. The failure of any party to insist, in any one or more

instances, upon performance of any of the provisions
26
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 this

22 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS PENDING CLOSING. Prior to the Closing, without the

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

substantially the same condition as of the date of this Agreement, reasonable
wear and tear excepted; provided, however, that the foregoing exception shall
not relieve PGI from the obligation to make repairs and otherwise maintain the
PGI Assets in accordance with good management practice. PGI shall also keep its

efforts to keep available to MIKOHN the services of present employees at the
Business and shall use its best efforts to preserve the good will of suppliers,
customers and others having business relations with PGI.

------------------
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 ▇▇▇▇▇ 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 relationship
or termination thereof prior to the Closing unless the Purchaser Indemnitee knew
or had reason to know of any such claim or cause of action;
25.1.3 any claim or cause of action brought
29
by Par-4, Inc. or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ relating to that certain License Agreement
dated September 21, 1993 by and between PGI and MIKOHN; and

26 INDEMNITY BY MIKOHN. From and after Closing, MIKOHN agrees to indemnify
-------------------
▇▇▇▇▇ 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 ▇▇▇▇▇ 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
30
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 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,
31
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 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
32
respect of such injury and (i) increased to take account of any 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 based on
------------------------------------
fraud or intentional misrepresentation or concealment, the parties acknowledge
and agree that the indemnities set forth in Sections 25 and 26 shall be the sole
and exclusive remedy after the Closing for breach, default, 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 misrepresentation or
concealment, in no event will any party hereto have any liability under this
Agreement to any other party hereto for consequential, indirect or incidental
damages of any kind or nature or lost profits.
31 COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.
-----------------------
31.1 ▇▇▇▇▇ expressly agrees that for a period of four (4) years commencing
on the date of the Closing, he shall not directly or indirectly own, manage,
control or participate in the
33
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

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 ▇▇▇▇▇ agree that all of the consideration payable to
▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to this Agreement is allocable to the PGI Shares and that no part
of the consideration payable to ▇▇▇▇▇ 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 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
34
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, 1998.
32.4 This Agreement is made without prejudice to any rights or claims now
held by either party against the other and shall not be deemed a release,
waiver, compromise or other resolution of any such rights or claims; all such
rights and claims are expressly reserved and shall be wholly unaffected by this
Agreement in the event this Agreement [1] is terminated for any reason prior to
the Closing or [2] expires by its terms.

33.2.1 If the Closing has not occurred by the latest date provided
