ITEM 2: DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
---------------------
(a) On December 23, 1998, Global Casinos, Inc. (the "Company") completed
the disposition of two separate business operations.
Effective December 23, 1998, the Company completed the disposition
of its discontinued casino operations on the island of Aruba. The Company had
previously announced that the Casino Masquerade located in the Radisson Aruba
Carribean Hotel on the island of Aruba had been closed effective February 28,
1998 in order to undergo renovations. Due to protracted delays in completing
the renovations and other adverse business circumstances, the Company was able
to negotiate an early termination of the remaining term on its casino lease.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement with Dutchco N.V., an
Aruban limited liability company, and Aruba Carribean Hotel Limited
Partnership, as landlord, the Company agreed to terminate the lease in
consideration of a cash payment in the amount of $400,000 and the issuance to
the Company of trade credits having an aggregate face value of $600,000.
The trade credits can be used at the Aruba Carribean Hotel (the
"Hotel") for a six year period beginning January 1, 2000 and ending December
31, 2005, usable at the rate of $100,000 per year. The Hotel credits can be
used against room rates as well as food and beverage charges, subject to
certain limitations.
With the consummation of the foregoing Settlement Agreement, all
residual interest in the Company in its discontinued operations in Aruba have
ceased. Miscellaneous items of personal property and gaming equipment have
been moved by the Company from Aruba to its Pelican Casino on the island of
St. Maarten.
The Company continues to own as a wholly owned subsidiary Global
Entertainment Group, N.V., an Aruba Corporation ("Global Entertainment"),
which operated the Aruba Casino, and the Company's consolidated balance sheet
continues to include the liabilities of Global Entertainment notwithstanding
the discontinued operation. The Company hopes to be able to dispose of its
interest in Global Entertainment, although there can be no assurance that it
will be successful in these efforts.
(b) In an unrelated transaction, on December 23, 1998, the Company sold
in a management buy-out 100% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of its
wholly owned subsidiary, Destination Marketing Services, Inc. ("DMSI"). The
DMSI shares were purchased by William C. Martin, DMSI's President. In
consideration of the shares of DMSI, the Company will receive payments
totaling $20,900 over three years, and will be indemnified against certain
liabilities, including payroll taxes. The effective date of the transaction
was set at October 1, 1998 by agreement.
DMSI is engaged in placing special travel arrangements for groups
and other large parties. The Company acquired DMSI earlier during 1998. DMSI
was never a significant subsidiary of the Company within the meaning of
Regulation 210.11.01(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

forth herein; and
WHEREAS, DutchCo and the Landlord have requested that the Global Parent
execute this Agreement for the purposes of causing Global and the Global
Parent, on behalf of themselves and all of their respective Affiliates (as
such term is defined on Exhibit A attached hereto) to join in the mutual
releases set forth below, and the Global Parent desires to execute this
Agreement for such purpose;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby,
agree as follows:
1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS; DEFINITIONS; MEANING OF TERMS. Each of
the Recitals set forth above is incorporated herein as if set forth herein
verbatim. As used in this Agreement, each of the terms set forth on Exhibit A

Lease.
2. PAYMENTS TO GLOBAL. Within fourteen days after Landlord's lender
has approved this Agreement, the Landlord shall pay Global the sum of U.S.
$400,000.00 less the sum of $22,058.00 (which sum represents payments to have
been made prior to the execution of this Agreement as listed in the right hand
column of Schedule A attached hereto and which will be made by Landlord).
Such payment shall be made by wire transfer instructions of immediately
available funds to an account or accounts designated by Global. Any such
payments shall be subject to any embargos made against Global or the Global
Parent in Aruba and the direction of any court in Aruba administering any such
embargos.
3. HOTEL CREDITS. As additional consideration for Global entering into
this Agreement, for the six year period commencing January 1, 2000 and
terminating December 31, 2005 (the "Hotel Credit Term"), subject to the
following terms and conditions, Global, the Global Parent and each of their
Permitted Transferees (collectively, the "Beneficiaries") shall be entitled to
Hotel Credits aggregating an amount of U.S. $100,000.00 for each of the six
Calendar Years (the "Annual Hotel Credit"). The following terms and
restrictions shall apply to the ability of the Beneficiaries to use the Hotel
Credits:
(a) The Landlord shall have the right to designate, by written notice
delivered to the Global Parent no later than October 1 prior to the
commencement of each Calendar Year during the Hotel Credit Term, the
Black Out Period for such Calendar Year. The Beneficiaries shall
not be entitled to use any Hotel Credits during the Black Out
Period. The weeks or days, as applicable, comprising the Black Out
Period do not need to be consecutive.
(b) No more than U.S.$15,000.00 of Hotel Credits (the "High Season
Monthly Credit Limit") may be used per month in each of the months
of January, February and March (the "High Season Months") in any one
Calendar Year. No more than $20,000.00 of Hotel Credits (the "Low
Season Monthly Credit Limit") may be used per month in any of the
remaining months of April through December (the "Low Season Months")
of any one Calendar Year. If all or any portion of the High Season
Monthly Credit Limit or the Low Season Monthly Credit Limit is not
used as a result of a portion of such High Season Month or Low
Season Month being part of a Black Out Period, the balance of such
unused portion of the High Season Monthly Credit Limit or Low Season
Monthly Credit Limit for such High Season Month or Low Season Month,
as applicable, may be used in any of the remaining High Season
Months or Low Season Months. In determining the portion of a High
Season Monthly Credit Limit or Low Season Monthly Credit Limit not
used because of a portion of such month being part of a Black Out
Period, the same shall be calculated to be the lesser of: (x) a
fraction whose numerator is the number of Black Out days in such
month and whose denominator is the number of days in such month
multiplied by the lesser of either the Monthly Credit Limit for such
month or the remaining Annual Hotel Credit for such month, (y) the
portion of the Monthly Credit Limit for such month not actually
utilized, or (z) the Annual Hotel Credit for such year outstanding
at the end of such month.
(c) No more than thirty three and one-third (33.33%) percent of the
Hotel Credits in any single stay at the Hotel by any individual
Beneficiary may be applied against Food and Beverage Charges.
(d) The Annual Hotel Credit is non-cumulative and, accordingly, there
shall be no carry forward to any other Calendar Year of any portion
of the Annual Hotel Credit not used in any Calendar Year, except to
the extent: (1) there occurs in any Calendar Year a wrongful act or
omission or willful breach of this Agreement by the Landlord which
prevents in such Calendar Year the use of all of the Annual Hotel
Credits which were otherwise available for use in such Calendar
Year; or (2) in such Calendar Year the Hotel is not open to the
public for business for a period of three (3) months or more,
whether as the result of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event or
otherwise (the "Closed Period"). With respect to determining
whether an event under clause (1) of the preceding sentence has
occurred, Global or the Global Parent shall be required to send
Landlord a notice specifying such breach within twenty (20) days of
the occurrence of the same, Landlord shall have a period of thirty
(30) days within which to cure such breach, and the provisions of
the next sentence of this clause (d) shall only apply in the event
Landlord has not cured such breach within the aforesaid thirty (30)
day period. In the event of the occurrence of the events set forth
in clauses (1) or (2) of the first sentence of this clause (d), the
amount of Annual Hotel Credit permitted to be carried forward (which
carry forward may only be used in the next Calendar Year) shall be
the lesser of: (x) a fraction whose numerator is the number of days
in such Closed Period and whose denominator is 365, multiplied by
the remaining Annual Hotel Credits for such Calendar Year, or (y)
the Annual Hotel Credit for such Calendar Year outstanding at the
end of such Calendar Year.
(e) The Hotel Credits may only be applied as credits against Room Rates
and permitted Food and Beverage Charges and may not be used for any
other purposes, including by way of illustration and not limitation
for any gratuities, service charges or Taxes. The Hotel Credits are
also not redeemable for cash. Reservations for rooms are subject to
the availability of rooms and, accordingly, to the extent in any
calendar month a room is available for the reservation requested
when the written notice set forth in clause 3(f) below is given, the
reservation for the room will be accepted, and, to the extent in any
calendar month a room is not available when the written notice set
forth in clause 3(f) below is given, the reservation will not be
accepted. If a Hotel Credit cannot be used because of the
unavailability of rooms (where requested at least two (2) weeks in
advance), such Hotel Credit may be used at a later date during the
applicable Calendar Year, provided, however, that if such
unavailability of rooms occurs in November or December of such
Calendar Year, such remaining Hotel Credits can be used in the next
Calendar Year. The Beneficiaries shall be entitled to the same
rights and privileges as any other member of the general public
reserving a room at the Hotel.
(f) In the event Global or the Global Parent desire to designate a
Permitted Transferee as a Beneficiary of any Hotel Credits, any
Designator shall send a written notice identifying the Permitted
Transferees to the Hotel Manager, whose approval shall be deemed
given, provided:
(i) the Hotel reserves the right to refuse to honor Hotel
Credits from any Permitted Transferee, or the individuals comprising
the Permitted Transferee, in the event such Permitted Transferee is
an entity who has been previously prohibited for any reason from
being a customer at the Hotel or any other hotel operated by the
Hotel Manager; and
(ii) in the event Global or the Global Parent desires to market
the Hotel Credits to any proposed Permitted Transferee, Global first
sends a written request to the Hotel Manager setting forth the scope
and terms of any such marketing plan (including, but not limited to,
the intended published pricing under such marketing plan) and
obtains the prior written approval of the Hotel Manager. Any such
prior written approval of the Hotel Manager shall not be
unreasonably withheld by the Hotel Manager provided the marketing
plan does not in the Hotel Manager's judgment undercut any
wholesaler of rooms at the Hotel or involve the sale for a specific
date to any party who has already booked rooms at the Hotel for such
date. The availability of Hotel Credits to any Beneficiary shall be
determined at the time of booking, after taking into account the
amount of Hotel Credits previously booked for the applicable month.
Global and the Global Parent shall be entitled to designate one or
more travel agencies (each, a "Travel Agency"), an entity which
barters, purchases and sells hotel rooms and scrip for hotel rooms
(a "Broker"), or Approved Corporate Group as a Beneficiary entitled
to use the Hotel Credits. The use of such credits by the Travel
Agency, Broker and Approved Corporate Group shall be subject to all
of the limitations as to the use of Hotel Credits set forth in this
Section 3, including but not limited to the limitations set forth in
this Section 3 as to the number of rooms at the Hotel which may be
booked in any month. Rather than utilizing the GDS System or
Radisson 800 reservation number, in order to monitor and administer
the use of available Hotel Credits the Travel Agency, Broker or
Approved Corporate Group, or any Designator, as the case may be,
shall always telephone the reservation department at the Hotel to
make the bookings, identifying such bookings as being under the
"Global Hotel Credit Program". The Landlord shall use its best
efforts to cause the Hotel Manager to send to the Global Parent by
the last day of each calendar month commencing with the month of
February of 2000 a statement itemizing the amount of Hotel Credits
(in U.S. dollars) used by Beneficiaries in the preceding calendar
month and the amount remaining, if any, of Annual Hotel credits for
the balance of the then applicable Calendar Year (inclusive of the
month in which the statement is sent). Furthermore, the Hotel
Manager shall, by October 1 of 1999 and October 1 of each succeeding
Calendar Year during the Hotel Credit Term, issue to Global and the
Global Parent a letter to be entitled the "Global Annual Hotel
Credit Program" which shall confirm the rights to the Hotel Credits
for the next succeeding Calendar Year and summarize the terms,
conditions, limitations and restrictions described in this Section
3, and such letter shall also provide for the assignment or transfer
of such Hotel Credits pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
Section 3. Global and the Global Parent shall have the right by
notice sent to the Hotel Manager to designate in any one Calendar
Year up to twelve Travel Agencies, Brokers or Approved Corporate
Groups which are entitled to make the reservations for individuals
to use the rooms.
(g) All of the above Hotel Credits shall be evidenced not by any
vouchers but, rather, by credits given to a Beneficiary on the bill
it receives when such Beneficiary completes his or her stay at the
Hotel.
(h) Global and the Global Parent shall, jointly and severally, hold
harmless the Landlord Released Parties (as such term is defined in
Section 6 below) and their respective heirs, successors and assigns,
from and against any and all claims, charges, liabilities, losses,
obligations, demands, torts, damages, expenses (including
attorneys' fees), actions, causes of action, proceedings and suits
which any third parties have which are based upon the inability to
use the Hotel Credits unless such inability has resulted from a
breach by Landlord or Hotel Manager of the terms and provisions of
Section 3 of this Agreement.
In the event of a change in identity of the Hotel Manager, the Landlord
shall cause any such successor Hotel Manager to execute a Joinder in the form
of the Joinder attached to this Agreement in order to confirm such successor
Hotel Manager's acknowledgment of and agreement to the terms and provisions of
this Section 3. The use of Hotel Credits shall be subject to reasonable rules
and regulations of the Hotel Manager which are consistent with the foregoing
in order to permit effective administration of the same.
4. CANCELLATION OF PROMISSORY NOTE, WARRANT AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.
Upon approval of the execution of this Agreement by Landlord's lender, DutchCo
shall mark "canceled" that certain Promissory Note dated as of August 26, 1998
executed by Global, as maker, for the benefit of DutchCo, as payee, in the
original principal amount of $250,000.00 and shall deliver such canceled
Promissory Note to Global. Upon approval of the execution of this Agreement
by Landlord's lender, DutchCo shall mark the Warrant Certificate, original
Certificate No. W-102 dated April 22, 1998 executed by the Global Parent for
the purchase of common shares of the Global Parent, par value $.05 per share
"canceled" and shall deliver to the Global Parent such "canceled" Certificate
No. W-102. Effective upon the cancellation of the Promissory Note and the
Warrant Certificate, each of the parties hereto hereby releases each of the
other parties from the obligations and liabilities arising from, under, or in
connection with the Promissory Note, Warrant Certificate or Settlement
Agreement whether concurrently existing or arising at any time hereafter.
5. CANCELLATION OF LEASE. Effective as of the date of approval of this
Agreement by Landlord's lender, the Lease shall be deemed canceled,
terminated, and of no further force and effect and neither party shall have
any further rights, obligations or liabilities thereunder, each of the parties
hereto shall be deemed as of such approval date as releasing each of the other
parties hereto from any such rights, obligations and liabilities arising from,
under or in connection with the Lease, whether concurrently existing or
arising at any time hereafter, and Global shall have no further right, title
or interest in the casino premises or otherwise with respect to the Hotel.
The termination of the Lease shall be unaffected by any breach of the
representations and warranties or default hereunder.
6. MUTUAL GENERAL RELEASES.
(a) Except for breaches of this Agreement, each of DutchCo, the
Landlord, Radisson hotel Corporation, a New Jersey corporation ("RHI") and
Radisson International Management, Inc., a Minnesota corporation ("RIMI"), for
themselves and any and all of their Affiliates, predecessors, partners, joint
venturers, past and present officers, directors, shareholders, agents,
servants, employees, legal representatives, successors and assigns, do hereby
forever and fully release, remise and discharge Global and the Global Parent
and each of their respective Affiliates, predecessors, partners, joint
venturers, lenders, past and present officers, directors, shareholders,
agents, servants, employees, legal representatives, successors and assigns
(collectively, the "Global Released Parties") of and from any and all rights,
duties, claims, charges, liabilities, losses, obligations, demands, debts,
dues, sums of money, covenants, contracts (express or implied), promises,
