Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Performance-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") awarded pursuant to the Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Company common stock at the end of the measurement period (May 7, 2012 to April 26, 2015). The number of RSUs that may be earned shall be determined at the end of the measurement period based on the average of the closing market prices of the Company's common stock for the ninety (90) calendar-day period ending on April 26, 2015, and is further contingent upon the Company achieving a threshold level of total shareholder return over the measurement period relative to certain other regional gaming companies. The number of RSUs that may be earned are as follows: 28,125 RSUs at the threshold level; 81,818 RSUs at the target level; and 128,571 RSUs at the maximum level. If the share price does not reach the threshold level, none of the RSUs will be earned and such unearned RSUs will expire at the end of the measurement period. Assuming that the participant remains employed at the end of the measurement period, fifty percent (50%) of the RSUs shall become immediately vested as of the last day of the measurement period (April 26, 2015) and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the RSUs shall become vested one-year thereafter (April 26, 2016). All RSUs that have vested shall be issued within sixty (60) days of vesting. Other provisions apply in the event of death, disability, retirement, termination without cause and change of control.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
