benefit of
Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Buyer").
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Stockholder owns of record and
beneficially
2,226,409 shares (such shares, together with any other voting or equity
securities of Lady Luck Gaming Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Lady
Luck"), hereafter acquired by Stockholder prior to the termination of
this
Agreement, being referred to herein collectively as the "Shares") of
common
stock, par value $0.006 per share ("Lady Luck Common Stock");
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Buyer,
Isle
Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Buyer
("Merger Sub"), and Lady Luck are entering into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger,
dated as of the date hereof (the "Merger Agreement"; capitalized terms
used and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned
to them
in the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject
to the
conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Lady Luck
such that
Lady Luck will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (the "Merger");
and
WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Buyer and Merger Sub
to enter
into the Merger Agreement, Buyer has requested that the Stockholder
agree, and
in order to induce Buyer and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger
Agreement the
Stockholder is willing to agree, to vote in favor of adopting the Merger
Agreement and approving the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions
set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants
and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the
parties hereby agree, severally and not jointly, as follows:
Section 1. VOTING OF SHARES. Until the termination of this
Agreement in
accordance with the terms hereof, Stockholder hereby agrees that, at the
Lady
Luck Stockholders' Meeting or any other meeting of the stockholders of
Lady
Luck, however called, and in any action by written consent of the
stockholders
of Lady Luck, Stockholder will vote all of his Shares (a) in favor of
adoption
of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other
transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (b) against any proposal for any
recapitalization, merger (other than the Merger), sale of assets or
other
business combination between Lady Luck and any person or entity (other
than
Buyer or any subsidiary of Buyer) or any other action or agreement that
would
result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any
other
obligation or agreement of Lady Luck under the Merger Agreement or which
could
result in any of the conditions to the Merger Agreement not being
fulfilled and
(c) in favor of any other matter necessary to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and considered and
voted upon
by the stockholders of Lady Luck (or any class thereof). In addition,
Stockholder agrees that he will, upon request by Buyer, furnish written
confirmation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer, of
such
Stockholder's vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Merger.
Stockholder
acknowledges receipt and review of a copy of the Merger Agreement.
Section 2. PROXY. Subject to any required approval under the Lady
Luck
Gaming Laws, the Stockholder, by this Agreement, and for so long as this
Agreement shall remain in effect, does hereby constitute and appoint
Buyer, or
any nominee of Buyer, with full power of substitution, as such
Stockholder's
irrevocable proxy and attorney-in-fact to vote the Shares as indicated
in
SECTION 1, in the
III-1
event such Stockholder fails to comply with his obligations under such
section.
Stockholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an
interest
and will take such further action and execute such other instruments as
may be
necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revokes any
proxy
previously granted by him with respect to its Shares.
Section 3. TRANSFER OF SHARES. Stockholder covenants and agrees
that he
will not, without the consent of Buyer, prior to the termination of this
Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, directly or indirectly,
(a) sell, assign, transfer (including by merger, testamentary
disposition,
interspousal disposition pursuant to a domestic relations proceeding or
otherwise by operation of law), pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of
any of
the Shares, (b) deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter
into a
voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the Shares or grant any
proxy or
power of attorney with respect thereto which is inconsistent with this
Agreement
or (c) other than the Option (as defined below), enter into any
contract, option
or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or
indirect sale,
assignment, transfer (including by merger, testamentary disposition,
interspousal disposition pursuant to a domestic relations proceeding or
otherwise by operation of law) or other disposition of any Shares. The
consent
of the Buyer shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to (i)
transfers in
connection with Stockholder's estate planning or (ii) testamentary
transfers by
the Stockholder, in which in both cases, each transferee agrees to be
bound by
the terms of this Agreement prior to the acceptance of any transfer.
Buyer shall
be deemed to have consented to the transfer of 11,739 shares of Lady
Luck Common
Stock to Alain Uboldi pursuant to his agreement with the Stockholder
(the
"Uboldi Agreement").
Section 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF STOCKHOLDER.
Stockholder
hereby represents and warrants to Buyer with respect to himself and his
ownership of the Shares as follows:
a. OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. On the date hereof, the Shares are
owned of
record and beneficially by Stockholder, are not subject to a pledge
and do
not otherwise serve as collateral for any indebtedness. Upon the
exercise of
the Option, except with respect to 11,739 shares of Lady Luck Common
Stock
which are subject to the Uboldi Agreement, Buyer will receive good
and
marketable title to the Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims,
encumbrances and security interests of any kind. Stockholder has
sole power
and authority to vote and to sell the Shares, without restrictions,
with
respect to all of the Shares.
b. POWER, BINDING AGREEMENT. Stockholder has the legal
capacity, power
and authority to enter into and perform all of his obligations under
this
Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by
Stockholder will not violate any other agreement to which
Stockholder is a
party, including, without limitation, any voting agreement,
stockholders'
agreement, partnership agreement or voting trust. This Agreement has
been
duly and validly executed and delivered by Stockholder and
constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of Stockholder, enforceable against
Stockholder
in accordance with its terms.
c. NO CONFLICTS. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
do not,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will
not,
conflict with or result in any violation of, or default (with or
without
notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of
termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to
loss of a
material benefit under, any provision of any loan or credit
agreement, note,
bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, or other agreement, instrument,
permit,
concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute,
law,
ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Stockholder or any of
his
properties or assets, other than such conflicts, violations or
defaults or
terminations, cancellations or accelerations which individually or
in the
aggregate do not materially impair the ability of Stockholder to
perform his
obligations hereunder. No consent, approval, order or authorization
of, or
registration, declaration, or filing with, any governmental entity
is
required by or with respect to
III-2
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder and the
consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 5. OPTION TO PURCHASE SHARES. Stockholder hereby grants to
Buyer
(i) an option to purchase that portion of the Shares equal to 34.99% of
the
issued and outstanding shares of the Lady Luck Common Stock and (ii)
effective
upon a breach by Stockholder of the provisions of Section 1, an option
to
purchase the remainder of the Shares, except for Shares subject to the
Uboldi
Agreement (each, an "Option" and collectively, the "Options"), at a
price of
$12.00 per Share (or such higher price as Buyer may determine), until
the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7 hereof. Buyer
agrees
that if either of the Options are exercised (which exercise shall be
evidenced
by payment for the Shares) and Buyer disposes of the Shares within six
months
after the date of the exercise of such Option, Buyer will pay to
Stockholder
one-half of the net profit (after reduction for Buyer's expenses
incurred for
brokerage commissions (net of any reimbursements) in connection with the
exercise of such Option and disposition of such Shares) to Buyer from
such
disposition (the "Profit Amount"), provided that the Profit Amount is
not
subject to disgorgement under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934,
as amended. Solely for income tax purposes, Buyer and Stockholder shall
treat
any portion of the Profit Amount paid to Stockholder as additional
consideration
paid by Buyer to Stockholder for purchase of the Shares. Subject to any
required
approval under the Lady Luck Gaming Laws, either Option may be exercised
by
Buyer at any time upon two (2) business days' prior written notice to
Stockholder, against payment of the purchase price for the Shares that
are
subject to such Option. Stockholder agrees to cooperate with Buyer at
Buyer's
expense and use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in
obtaining
any approvals required under the Lady Luck Gaming Laws.
Section 6. NO SOLICITATION. Stockholder agrees that (i) in his
individual
capacity, as opposed to his capacity as a director of Lady Luck, he will
not,
nor will he authorize or permit any of his employees, agents and
representatives
to, directly or indirectly, (a) initiate, solicit or encourage
(including by way
of furnishing information) or take any other action to facilitate any
inquiries
or proposals that constitute, or could reasonably be expected to lead
to, an
Acquisition Proposal, (b) agree to or recommend any Acquisition
Proposal, or (c)
engage in negotiations or discussions with a Third Party concerning, or
provide
any non-public information to any person or entity relating to, any
Acquisition
Proposal and (ii) he will notify Buyer as soon as possible (and in any
event
within 48 hours) if any such inquiries or proposals are received by, any
information or document is requested from, or any negotiations or
discussions
are sought to be initiated or continued with him, any of his affiliates
or his
legal or financial advisors
Section 7. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate upon the
earliest
to occur of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) the termination of the Merger
Agreement
pursuant to SECTION 7.1(a), SECTION 7.1(c), SECTION 7.1(e), SECTION
7.1(g),
SECTION 7.1(h), SECTION 7.1(i), SECTION 7.1(j), SECTION 7.1(k) or
SECTION 7.1(l) of the Merger Agreement, and (iii) December 31, 2000;
provided
that the provisions of SECTION 9 of this Agreement shall survive any
termination
of this Agreement; and provided further that no such termination shall
relieve
any party of liability for a breach hereof prior to termination.
Section 8. ESCROW OF SHARES. On the date hereof, Stockholder has
deposited
with Swidler Berlin Shereff Friedman, LLP (the "Escrow Agent")
certificates
representing all of the Shares. Buyer and Stockholder agree that the
Escrow
Agent shall hold the Shares as escrowee in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Escrow Agreement, dated the date hereof, among Buyer,
Stockholder and the Escrow Agent.
Section 9. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The parties hereto agree that
irreparable
damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not
performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall
be
entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any
other
remedy at law or in equity.
III-3
Section 10. MISCELLANEOUS.
a. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior
agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the
parties
with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or
rescinded except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the
parties
hereto.
b. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid,
illegal
or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy,
all
other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless
remain
in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or
other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the
parties
hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as
to
effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to
the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law in a mutually acceptable
manner
in order that the terms of this Agreement remain as originally
contemplated
to the fullest extent possible.
c. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles
of
conflicts of law thereof.
d. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall
be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one
and the
same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this
Agreement to
be duly executed as of the date first written above.
