follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                                  DEFINITIONS

          SECTION 1.01.  Certain capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.
Unless the context otherwise requires, such terms shall include the singular and
plural and the conjunctive and disjunctive forms of the terms defined.

                                  ARTICLE II

                               VOTING AGREEMENTS

          SECTION 2.01.  Stockholder Meetings. Each Stockholder agrees that at
any meeting of stockholders of Pinnacle called to vote upon the Merger or the
Merger Agreement, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstances
upon which a vote, consent or other approval of the stockholders of Pinnacle
with respect to the Merger, the Merger Agreement or any of the other
transactions contemplated thereby or hereby is sought, such Stockholder shall
cause its Shares to be present for quorum purposes and to vote (or caused to be
voted) its Shares in favor of the terms thereof and each of the other
transactions contemplated by the Transaction and this Agreement and any actions
required in furtherance thereof and hereof.  Each Stockholder hereby grants to
PHCR a proxy to vote all of the Shares then beneficially owned by such
Stockholder as indicated in this Section 2.01.  Each Stockholder agrees that
this proxy shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest, agrees to take
such further action or execute such other instruments as may

<PAGE>

be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy and hereby revokes any proxy
previously granted by such Stockholder with respect to any of the Shares.

          SECTION 2.02.  Competing Transaction.  Subject to the provisions of
Article VI, each Stockholder agrees that at any meeting of stockholders of
Pinnacle, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstances upon
which their vote, consent or other approval is sought, such Stockholder shall
vote (or cause to be voted) its Shares against (i) any Takeover Proposal and
(ii) any amendment of Pinnacle's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or other
proposal or transaction involving Pinnacle or any of its subsidiaries which
amendment or other proposal or transaction would in any manner impede, interfere
with, materially delay, frustrate, prevent or nullify or result in a breach of
any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of
Pinnacle or any Stockholder under or with respect to, the Merger, the Merger
Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement or by this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE III

                                 CONTRIBUTION

          SECTION 3.01.  Contribution of Shares by Stockholders.  Each
Stockholder agrees that immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger
(the "Effective Time"), each such Stockholder shall contribute the number of
Shares listed opposite such Stockholder's name under the caption "Shares
Contributed" on Schedule I hereto (and, to the extent that the Options Exchanged
(as defined below) are exercised prior to the Effective Time, each such
Stockholder also shall contribute such Shares received upon such exercise), to
PHCR.  PHCR shall issue to each contributing Stockholder, a number of shares of
PHCR's Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "PHCR Class A Common
Stock"), equal to the product of (A) the Merger Consideration, (B) divided by
45.77707, (C) multiplied by .009901 (the foregoing calculation, the "Class A
Conversion Ratio"), and a number of shares of PHCR's Class B Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "PHCR Class B Common Stock" and, together with the
PHCR Class A Common Stock, the "PHCR Common Stock"),  equal to the product of
(A) the Merger Consideration, (B) divided by 45.77707, (C) multiplied by .990099
(the foregoing calculation, the "Class B Conversion Ratio"), for each Share
contributed.

          SECTION 3.02.  Termination of Options by Stockholders.  Each
Stockholder agrees that immediately prior to the Effective time, the Options
listed opposite such Stockholder's name under the caption "Options Exchanged" on
Schedule I hereto shall be cancelled, except to the extent that the Options
Exchanged are exercised prior to the Effective Time, in which case such
Stockholder also shall contribute to PHCR in accordance with Section 3.01 the
Shares received upon such exercise. In connection with such cancellation, PHCR
shall issue to such Stockholder one or more fully vested options to acquire (i)
a number of shares of PHCR Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of
Pinnacle Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Options, multiplied by the
Class A Conversion Ratio, and (ii) a number of shares of PHCR Class B Common

                                       3
<PAGE>

Stock equal to the number of shares of Pinnacle Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of such Options, multiplied by the Class B Conversion Ratio, in each
case subject to the restrictions set forth in an option agreement to be entered
into between the parties.  With respect to each Stockholder, the exercise price
of each option issued to purchase PHCR Common Stock shall be set at an amount so
that the aggregate value of all such options will, as of the Effective Time, be
equal to (i) the product of (a) the cash amount of the Pinnacle Merger
Consideration multiplied by (b) the aggregate number of Shares which may be
acquired upon exercise of the Options contributed by such Stockholder, minus
(ii) the aggregate Exercise Price of such Options.

                                  ARTICLE IV

                        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          SECTION 4.01.  Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders.
Each of the Stockholders severally and not jointly represents and warrants to

               (a) Power, Organization and Standing.  Such Stockholder has all
     requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations
     under this Agreement and, if such Stockholder is not a natural person, such
     Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
     the laws of its state of organization.

               (b) Authority and Capacity.  The execution and delivery of this
     Agreement, and the performance by such Stockholder of its obligations
     hereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of
     such Stockholder.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
     such Stockholder and, assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by

     of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance
     with its terms.

               (c) Ownership.  Such Stockholder is the record and beneficial
     owner of, and has good and valid title to, the number of Shares and Options
     listed opposite such Stockholder's name under the captions "Shares Owned"

     all Liens or other adverse interests (including any restrictions on the
     right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares and Options).
     Except for this Agreement, there are no outstanding warrants,
     subscriptions, rights (including preemptive rights), options, calls,
     commitments or other agreements or Liens or other adverse interests to
     encumber, purchase or acquire any of the Shares or Options of such
     Stockholder or securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares

     Stockholder nor any of its affiliates or associates (as such terms are
     defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) holds either of
     record or beneficially any securities, capital stock, warrants,
     subscriptions, rights (including preemptive rights), options, calls,
     commitments or other instruments of

<PAGE>

     Pinnacle or any of Pinnacle's direct or indirect subsidiaries other than
     such Stockholder's Shares. Such Stockholder has the exclusive power to vote
     such Shares.

               (d) No Conflict.  The execution of this Agreement and the
     consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not require
     notice to, or the consent of, any party to any contract to which such
     Stockholder is a party or by which it is bound, or the consent, approval,
     order or authorization of, or the registration, declaration or filing with,
     any governmental authority, except for those (i) required under the HSR
     Act, if any; (ii) required by any Gaming Authority; and (iii) pertaining to
     approval by the Pinnacle Board of Directors (which the Stockholders
     represent has been granted).  Assuming that the notices, consents and
     approvals referred to in the preceding sentence have been given, made or
     obtained and remain effective, the execution, delivery and performance by
     such Stockholder of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
     contemplated hereby will not (i) violate any Laws, (ii) result in a breach
     or violation of any provision of, constitute a default under, or result in
     the termination of, or an acceleration of indebtedness or creation of any
     Lien under, any contract to which such Stockholder is a party or by which
     it is bound or (iii) conflict with or violate any provision of the
     organizational or similar documents of such Stockholder.

               (e) Brokers, Finders, etc.  No broker, investment banker,
     financial advisor, finder or other person (other than fees and expenses of
     which are the responsibility of PHCR or Pinnacle Acq Corp) is entitled to
     any broker's, finder's, financial advisor's or other similar fee or
     commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Stockholders.

               (f) Investment Representations.  Each Stockholder:

                      (i)    is an "Accredited Investor," as such term is
     defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
     "Securities Act");

                      (ii)   has had access to such financial and other
     information, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of
     representatives of PHCR, and to receive answers to those questions, as it
     has deemed necessary in connection with its acquisition of PHCR Common
     Stock;

                      (iii)  acknowledges that the shares of PHCR Common Stock
     that will be acquired pursuant to this Agreement are being acquired in a
     transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the
     Securities Act, and the shares of PHCR Common Stock, have not been, and may
     never be, registered under the Securities Act;

                      (iv)   agrees not to offer, sell, transfer or otherwise
     dispose of the PHCR Common Stock in the absence of registration under the
     Securities Act unless it delivers to PHCR an opinion of counsel reasonably
     satisfactory to PHCR, in form and substance satisfactory to

                                       5
<PAGE>

     PHCR, to the effect that the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition
     may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and under
     applicable state securities and blue sky laws;

                      (v)    acknowledges that unless and until such PHCR Common
     Stock shall have been registered under the Securities Act, the certificates
     will bear a legend to the following effect:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE
OF SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE TRANSFEROR DELIVERS TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, IN FORM AND
SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED SALE,
TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR "BLUE SKY" LAWS.

                      (vi)   has such knowledge and experience in financial and
     business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
     an acquisition of the PHCR Common Stock and is able to bear the economic
     risk of a loss of an investment in the PHCR Common Stock and is not
     acquiring any PHCR Common Stock with a view to the distribution thereof or
     any present intention of offering or selling any thereof in a transaction
     that would violate the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state
     or any other applicable jurisdiction; and

                      (vii)  has been advised by its own counsel with respect to
     this Agreement and the tax implications of the contributions and
     transactions contemplated hereby.

               (g) Stockholders Agreement.  Such Stockholder has reviewed the
     provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 2, 1999 by

     substantially similar terms (except as may be specified in the MOU) on the
     Closing Date, by and among PHCR and the stockholders of PHCR named therein
     (the "Stockholders Agreement") and such Stockholder acknowledges that the
     PHCR Common Stock to be issued to such Stockholder pursuant to Article III
     hereof shall be subject to the Stockholders Agreement.

     do not include any shares of PHCR Class A Common Stock or PHCR Class B
     Common Stock which may be issued to holders of Harveys' preferred stock in
     lieu of accrued but unpaid dividends; provided further that such numbers
     shall be adjusted to take into account any adjustment in the Pinnacle
     Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 10.11 of the Merger Agreement.

               (c) Authority and Capacity.  The execution and delivery of this
     Agreement, and the performance by PHCR of its obligations hereunder, have
     been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of PHCR.  This
     Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of PHCR and,
     assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by the Stockholders and
     assuming that approval of this Agreement by Pinnacle remains effective,
     this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of PHCR,
     enforceable against PHCR in accordance with its terms.

               (d) No Conflict.  The execution of this Agreement and the
     consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not require

Stockholder may (A) furnish nonpublic information with respect to Pinnacle to
the person who made such Takeover Proposal and (B) participate in negotiations
with such person regarding such Takeover Proposal, if such Stockholder is
instructed in writing to do so by the Board of Directors of Pinnacle; provided
that it is understood that this Section 5.01 shall not be deemed to have been
violated if in response to an unsolicited inquiry, such Stockholder states
solely that he or she is subject to the limits of this Agreement and provides
only public information in response to such unsolicited inquiry.

          SECTION 5.02.  No Transfer; No Inconsistent Arrangements.  Each
Stockholder agrees that it shall not (including by way of any gift, sale, pledge
or other disposition, including without limitation in connection with

sell or pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or consent to the
transfer or pledge of, any or all of the Shares or Options owned by it or of any
interest therein, (ii enter into any contract, option or other agreement or
understanding with respect to any such transfer of any such Shares or Options,

be necessary or advisable in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including voting the Shares

circumstance that would cause a condition under Article V hereof not to be
satisfied on the Closing Date.

          SECTION 5.04.  Expenses.  All fees and expenses incurred in connection

          SECTION 5.06.  Notice of Certain Events.  PHCR and each Stockholder
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.

          SECTION 5.07.  R.D. Hubbard Approval Right.  From the date hereof
until the Effective Time or earlier termination of this Agreement, R.D. Hubbard
shall have the right to reasonably approve any equity investment in, or material
acquisition by, Holding, Pinnacle Acq Corp, Harveys or any of their respective
subsidiaries; provided that Mr. Hubbard shall consider any request to take such
actions in good faith and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          SECTION 5.08.  Sale of Hubbard Shares.  Immediately prior to the
Effective Time, Mr. Hubbard shall sell to Pinnacle, and Pinnacle shall purchase
from Mr. Hubbard, the shares of Pinnacle Common Stock owned by Mr. Hubbard on
the date hereof that are not Shares Contributed (the "Hubbard Shares") for a
price equal to the Pinnacle Merger Consideration (including a contingent payment
right on terms substantially identical to that being received by Pinnacle's
stockholders under Section 10.11 of the Merger Agreement), if any, that would be
payable at the Effective Time in respect of the Hubbard Shares.  Mr. Hubbard
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a comparable economic and
tax position with respect to the sale of the Hubbard Shares if, for any reason,
PHCR does not redeem the Hubbard Shares.  In connection with implementing its
financing, PHCR and Pinnacle Acq Corp shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to secure elimination of covenants in Indentures governing Pinnacle's
public debt and

                                       9

waivers from its banks under the Bank Credit Facility which would prohibit or
limit Pinnacle's ability to effectuate the purchase of the Hubbard Shares as
contemplated herein.

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 Agreement.  To the extent any
restriction on the activities of Pinnacle or its subsidiaries under the terms of
this Agreement requires prior approval under any Gaming Law, such restriction
shall be of no force or effect unless and until such approval is obtained.  If
any provision of this Agreement is illegal or unenforceable under any Gaming
Law, such provision shall be void and of no force or effect.

          SECTION 8.03.  Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or
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.

          SECTION 8.04.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by
each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

          SECTION 8.05.  Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This
Agreement, the MOU, the Merger Agreement, and the Schedules and Exhibits
thereto, constitute the entire agreements, and supersede all prior agreements
and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the
subject matter of these agreements and neither this Agreement nor the Merger
Agreement, is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties any
rights or remedies thereunder.

          SECTION 8.06.  Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT
REGARD TO ANY APPLICABLE CONFLICTS OF LAW AND EXCEPT THAT GAMING LAWS SHALL BE
GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE RESPECTIVE
JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH APPROVALS FROM GAMING AUTHORITIES ARE REQUIRED TO BE
OBTAINED.

          SECTION 8.07.  Gaming Laws.  Each of the provisions of this Agreement

          SECTION 8.08.  Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the
rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in
whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without
the prior written consent of the other parties, except that PHCR may assign, in
its sole discretion and without any Stockholder's consent, any of or all its
rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any controlled
affiliate of Colony Capital, Inc., but no such assignment shall relieve PHCR of
any of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence,
this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable
by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

          SECTION 8.09.  Enforcement.  The parties agree that irreparable damage
would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It
is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States
located in the State of Delaware or in any Delaware state court, this being in
addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.  In
addition, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the
personal jurisdiction of any Federal court located in the State of Delaware or
any Delaware state court in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement
or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it
will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other
request for leave from any such court and (c) agrees that it will not bring any
action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement in any court other than a Federal or state court sitting in the
State of Delaware.

          SECTION 8.10.  Stockholder Capacity.  Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Stockholders enter into this Agreement solely in their
respective capacities as stockholders of Pinnacle.  No person executing this
Agreement who is or becomes a director or

capacity as director or officer of Pinnacle. Nothing herein shall limit or
affect (a) actions taken by any Stockholder in his or her capacity as director
or officer of Pinnacle or (b) the rights and remedies PHCR may have other than
pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such conduct undertaken in the capacity
of director or officer of Pinnacle.
