Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 8, 2024, PlayAGS, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Bingo Holdings I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”) and an affiliate of Brightstar Capital Partners, and Bingo Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”, and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Company’s board of directors (the “Company Board”) unanimously approved the Transactions and resolved to recommend that the Company stockholders approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions at a meeting of its stockholders.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each:

(i)

share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for Shares (A) held by the Company (including in the Company’s treasury) or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; and (B) held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, which will be cancelled and retired for no consideration) will automatically be canceled and cease to exist and converted into the right to receive $12.50 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), subject to any withholding of taxes required by applicable law;

(ii)

option to purchase Shares (each, a “Company Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the total number of Shares underlying such Company Option, multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price for such Company Option, less applicable tax withholdings;

(iii)

restricted stock unit award which vests based solely upon continued employment or service (each, an “RSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (A) the total number of Shares underlying such RSU, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration, less applicable tax withholdings;

(iv)

restricted stock unit award which vests based on either solely the achievement of performance goals or both the achievement of performance goals and continued employment or service (each, a “PSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (A) the total number of Shares (determined without regard to future employment or service vesting requirements) issuable in settlement of such PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration, less applicable tax withholdings;

(v)

phantom stock unit award which vests based solely upon continued employment or service (each, a “PhSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (A) the total number of units underlying such PhSU, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration, less applicable tax withholdings; and

(vi)

phantom stock unit award which vests based on both the achievement of performance goals and continued employment or service (each, a “PPhSU”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (A) the total number of units (determined without regard to future employment or service vesting requirements) underlying such PPhSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration, less applicable tax withholdings.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Parent obtained equity and debt financing commitments for the Transactions. Funds affiliated with Brightstar Capital Partners (such funds, collectively, the “Investors”) have delivered an equity commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) to Parent, pursuant to which, the Investors have committed to provide Parent, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, an aggregate equity commitment to fund a portion of the payment of the aggregate Merger consideration and other amounts required to be paid under the Merger Agreement (the “Equity Financing”). Barclays Bank PLC, Citizens Bank, N.A. and Jefferies Finance LLC are parties to a debt commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letters”) delivered to Parent and have agreed to provide, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, certain debt financing to fund a portion of the payment of the aggregate Merger consideration and other amounts required to be paid under the Merger Agreement (the “Debt Financing”, and together with the Equity Financing, collectively, the “Financing”). The Financing, when funded in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letters, will provide Parent, when taken together with the non-restricted cash, cash equivalents or other immediately available sources of cash funds held by or available to Parent, Merger Sub or the Company that are not subject to any further conditions, approvals or consents to use such funds (except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement), with sufficient available funds to fund the payment of (i) the aggregate Merger consideration and (ii) all other amounts required to be paid at or prior to the consummation of the Transactions and all fees, costs and expenses of or payable by Parent and Merger Sub in connection with the Transactions and the Financing, in each case in accordance with the Merger Agreement at the closing of the Transactions. The Transactions are not subject to a financing condition. In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Investors have entered into a limited guarantee, pursuant to which the Investors have agreed to guarantee Parent’s obligation to pay any termination fee, reimburse and indemnify the Company with respect to certain expenses in connection with Parent’s debt financing and pay certain other amounts required under the Merger Agreement, up to an aggregate cap of $45,200,000.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the: (i) Company’s receipt of the approval of the Company’s stockholders representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Shares (the “Company Required Vote”); (ii) expiration or termination of any waiting periods applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976; (iii) absence of any legal requirement, order or injunction enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger; and (iv) receipt of certain gaming regulatory approvals.

The Company has made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and has agreed to customary covenants regarding the operation of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time. The Merger Agreement also includes covenants requiring the Company not to (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly facilitate, or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any acquisition proposal or any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an acquisition proposal, or (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish or afford access to any other person any non-public information relating to the Company or its business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, among other prohibitions and subject to a customary “fiduciary out” provision that allows the Company, under certain specified circumstances, to provide information to, and participate in discussions and engage in negotiations with, third parties with respect to an acquisition proposal if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that such acquisition proposal either (x) constitutes a superior offer or (y) could reasonably be expected to lead to a superior offer, and the failure to explore such alternative acquisition proposal could reasonably be expected to lead to a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable legal requirements. The Company has also agreed to convene a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Company Required Vote.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Parent. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, under specified circumstances, the Company will be required to pay Parent a termination fee, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated due to (i) the Company accepting a superior offer or (ii) the Company Board’s withdrawal of its recommendation of the Merger, in which case the termination fee payable by the Company to Parent will be $9,700,000 until June 22, 2024, at which point the termination fee payable by the Company to Parent will be $19,300,000. The Merger Agreement further provides that Parent will be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $38,600,000 in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company following (i) Parent’s failure to consummate the Merger as required pursuant to, and in the circumstances specified in, the Merger Agreement or (ii) Parent or Merger Sub’s material breach of their representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that would cause the related closing conditions to not be satisfied. Parent may also be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $24,800,000 in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated due to the failure to obtain gaming regulatory approvals in the circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement.

In addition to the foregoing termination rights, and subject to certain limitations, the Company or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not consummated by May 8, 2025, subject to either party’s ability to extend for up to two additional 90-day periods (the “Outside Date”) if the Transactions have not been consummated.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions does not purport to be complete, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, and (i) should not be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate; (ii) may have been qualified in the Merger Agreement by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement; and (iii) may apply contractual standards of “materiality” that are different from “materiality” under applicable securities laws.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

In connection with the Merger, the Company intends to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) preliminary and definitive proxy statements relating to the Merger and other relevant documents. Promptly after filing the definitive proxy statement with the SEC, the definitive proxy statement and a proxy card will be mailed to the Company’s stockholders entitled to vote as of the record date to be established for voting on the Merger and any other matters to be voted on at the special meeting. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENTS, ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO, ANY OTHER SOLICITING MATERIALS AND ANY

OTHER DOCUMENTS TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN THE PROXY STATEMENTS WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, PARENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, INCLUDING THE MERGER. When the documents are available, investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the proxy statement, any amendments or supplements thereto, and any other relevant documents filed by the Company with the SEC in connection with the Merger on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, on the Company’s website at https://investors.playags.com/financial-information/sec-filings or by contacting the Company’s Investor Relations via email at https://investors.playags.com/investor-resources/contact-investor-relations/.

Participants in the Solicitation

The Company and its directors and its executive officers, may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Transactions.

To the extent that the Company’s directors and executive officers and their respective affiliates have acquired or disposed of security holdings since the applicable “as of” date disclosed in the 2024 Proxy Statement, such transactions have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Other information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their interests will be contained in the proxy statement for the Company’s special meeting of stockholders and other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC in respect of the Merger when they become available. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Company Stockholder:

(i) any shares of Company Stock (each, a “Share”) held by the Company (including in the Company’s treasury) or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any Shares then held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) except as provided in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) and subject to Section 1.5(b), each Share then outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and cease to exist and be converted into the right to receive $12.50 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Legal Requirements in accordance with Section 1.6(g), and the holders of such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to each such Share in accordance with Section 1.6; and

(iv) each share of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Merger Sub then outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted to provide the holders of Shares and holders of Company Options, PSUs and RSUs with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, that nothing in this Section 1.5(b) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.6 Surrender of Certificates; Stock Transfer Books.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, at its sole cost and expense, designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of Shares to receive the funds to which holders of such shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section 1.5. The agreement pursuant to which Parent shall appoint the Paying Agent shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent Agreement”). At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to make payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.5 (the total cash deposited with the Paying Agent, the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as and to the extent reasonably directed by Parent; provided that (i) such investments shall be solely in obligations of, or obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, (ii) no such investment shall have a maturity exceeding thirty (30) days, (iii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement, and (iv) no gain or loss on the Payment Fund shall affect the amounts payable hereunder. In the event the Payment Fund shall be insufficient to pay the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount that is equal to the shortfall that is required to make such payment.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) business days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail or otherwise provide to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of Shares that are entitled to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(iii), and (i) represented by certificates evidencing such Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) Book-Entry Shares that are not held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), notice advising such Person of the occurrence of the Effective Time, which notice shall include (A) appropriate transmittal materials, including a letter of transmittal (which shall be in reasonable and customary form), specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or such Book-Entry Shares shall pass only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or the surrender of such Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent (which shall be deemed to have been effected upon the delivery of a customary “agent’s message”) with respect to such Book-Entry Shares or such other reasonable evidence, if any, of such surrender as the Paying Agent may reasonably request pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Paying Agent Agreement, as applicable, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or such Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent in exchange for the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive as a result of the Merger pursuant to Section 1.5. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the benefit of the holder thereof.

(c) With respect to Book-Entry Shares held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries to ensure that the Paying Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, upon surrender of Shares held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance

with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed by Parent, the Company, the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees, and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries, the Merger Consideration to which the beneficial owners thereof are entitled to receive as a result of the Merger pursuant to Section 1.5.

(d) Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Shares that (i) are represented by Certificates, by physical surrender of such Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) together with duly completed and executed letters of transmittal and other appropriate transmittal materials required by the Paying Agent, (ii) are Book-Entry Shares not held through DTC, by book-receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent in accordance with the letter of transmittal and accompanying instructions in connection with the surrender of such Book-Entry Shares (or such other reasonable evidence, if any, of such surrender as the Paying Agent may reasonably request pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Paying Agent Agreement), and (iii) are Book-Entry Shares held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed by the Company, Parent, the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees, and such other necessary and desirable third-party intermediaries pursuant to Section 1.6(c), the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver, out of the Payment Fund, as promptly as practicable to such holders, an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly evidenced by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. If the payment of any Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificates formerly evidencing the Shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.6(d), each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of cash, without interest, into which such Shares represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share have been converted pursuant to Section 1.5. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of Shares upon their surrender or transfer for exchange in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares.

(e) At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (including all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Legal Requirements) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares held by them. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or

any other Party shall be liable to any holder of Shares for the Merger Consideration or any holder of Company Equity Awards for any amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.8 delivered in respect of such Share or Company Equity Awards, respectively, to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirements. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) As of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to the Shares shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Legal Requirements.

(g) Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause the Paying Agent to deduct and withhold) from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required by any applicable Tax Legal Requirements to deduct and withhold. Each such payor shall take all action that may be necessary to ensure that any such amounts so deducted or withheld are timely and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body in accordance with applicable Tax Legal Requirements, such amounts so remitted shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(h) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate (which shall not exceed the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Certificate), the Paying Agent will pay (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 1.6(g)), in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article I.

Section 1.7 Dissenter’s Rights. No dissenter’s rights or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger or the Transactions pursuant to NRS Chapter 92A (as provided in NRS 92A.390) or any other applicable Legal Requirements.

(f) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date that is at least 10 business days after the Effective Time), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or a Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation to, pay through the Surviving Corporation’s or the applicable Subsidiary’s payroll the aggregate Option Consideration, RSU Consideration, PSU Consideration, PhSU Consideration and PPhSU Consideration payable with respect to Company Options, RSUs, PSUs, PhSUs and PPhSUs held by current or former employees of the Company or the other Acquired Companies (net of any withholding Taxes required to be deducted and withheld by applicable Legal Requirements in accordance with Section 1.6(g)); provided, however, that to the extent the holder of a Company Option, RSU, PSU, PhSU or PPhSU is not, and was not at any time during the vesting period of the Company Option, RSU, PSU, PhSU or PPhSU, an employee of the Company or any other Acquired Company for employment tax purposes, the Option Consideration, RSU Consideration, PSU Consideration, PhSU Consideration and PPhSU Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.8 with respect to such Company Option, RSU, PSU, PhSU or PPhSU shall be deposited in the Payment Fund and paid by the Paying Agent in the manner described in Section 1.6.

As of the Effective Time and immediately after giving effect to the Merger, and, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article II and the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 immediately prior to the Effective Time, (a) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets (on a going-concern basis) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, taken as a whole, will exceed (i) the value of all liabilities of the Surviving Corporation and such Subsidiaries, including contingent and other liabilities, and (ii) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of each of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries on their

existing debts (including contingent liabilities) as such debts become absolute and matured; (b) the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, taken as a whole, will not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged; and (c) the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, taken as a whole, will be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature. For purposes of the foregoing, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancings, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is entering into this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of itself (or of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries).

Section 3.13 Brokers and Other Advisors. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder, agent or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries except for Persons, if any, whose fees and expenses shall be paid by Parent or any of its Affiliates.

Section 3.14 No Assets Causing Antitrust Risk. None of Parent, Merger Sub nor any of their respective “associates” or “affiliates” (each as defined in 16 CFR 801.1(d)) hold, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting securities or non-corporate interests (as “hold,” “voting securities” and “non-corporate interest” are defined under 16 CFR 801) of any entity that designs or supplies gaming machines or is in a vertical relationship with the Company or its competitors to the extent that any such holdings would reasonably be expected to lead antitrust or competition authorities to prevent or materially delay the expiration or termination of any waiting period or granting consent under other Antitrust Laws.

Section 3.15 CFIUS Foreign Person Status Risk. None of Parent or Merger Sub is a “foreign person” within the meaning of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, including all implementing regulations thereof.

CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

Section 4.1 Access and Investigation. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 (the “Pre-Closing Period”), upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to, provide Parent and Parent’s Representatives with reasonable access (including electronic access) to each of the Acquired Company’s properties, personnel, offices, books and records, Contracts, commitments, work papers and other documents and information relating to the Company and provide copies of such books and records, Contracts, commitments, work papers and other documents and information relating to the Company (other than any of the foregoing to the extent specifically related to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or any sale process preceding the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or, except as expressly provided

in Section 4.1, Section 4.3 or Section 5.1, to any Acquisition Proposal), in each case as Parent reasonably requests solely for the purposes of furthering or preparing for the consummation of the Merger or the other Transactions; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted at Parent’s sole cost and expense, at a reasonable time during the Company’s normal business hours, under the supervision of appropriate personnel of the Company and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the business of the Company, and shall be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include invasive testing. Nothing herein shall require the Company to permit any inspection or physical testing of real property that in the reasonable judgment of the Company would be detrimental to the Acquired Companies’ business or operations if the Transactions are not consummated nor shall anything herein require the Company to disclose any information to Parent if such disclosure would, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, (a) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege (provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the disclosure of such document or information (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client or other legal privilege), (b) contravene any applicable Legal Requirement (provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the disclosure of such document or information (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not contravene applicable Legal Requirement; provided, further, that information shall be disclosed subject to execution of a joint defense agreement in customary form, and disclosure may be limited to external counsel for Parent, to the extent the Company determines, on the advice of outside legal counsel, that doing so may be reasonably required for the purpose of complying with applicable Antitrust Laws), (c) result in the disclosure of any valuations of the Company prepared in connection with the Transactions or any other strategic alternative, or (d) be for the purpose of disclosing such document or information in any Legal Proceeding between the Parties.

All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be directed to the executive officer or other Person designated by the Company. Despite anything in this Section 4.1 to the contrary, nothing in this Section 4.1 shall be construed to require any Acquired Company or any of its respective Representatives to prepare any financial statements, projections, reports, analyses, appraisals or opinions that are not readily available. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Confidentiality Agreement, Parent will be permitted to disclose all non-public and confidential information provided by or on behalf of the Company to Parent or any of its Affiliates or Representatives to any financing sources or prospective financing sources (including lenders and limited partners) and other financial institutions and investors that may become parties to the Financing (and, in each case, to their respective Representatives) so long as such Persons (i) agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement as if parties thereto; or (ii) are subject to other confidentiality undertakings reasonably satisfactory to the Company and of which the Company is a beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall (a) use reasonable best efforts to conduct its response to any audits, investigations or Legal Proceedings with respect to international trade, duties and customs matters actively and diligently, (b) keep Parent reasonably informed of all substantive developments and events relating to such matters (including by promptly forwarding

copies to Parent of any correspondence or other materials sent to or received from any Governmental Body with respect thereto), (c) provide Parent (or Parent’s designated counsel or advisors) with an opportunity to review and comment on any substantive written filings or materials (including any correspondence) prepared by or on behalf of the Company in connection with such matters, reasonably in advance of the submission of such filings or material, and (d) reasonably consult with Parent in connection with the prosecution and defense of such matters; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any information to Parent pursuant to this sentence if such disclosure would, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege (provided, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the disclosure of such document or information (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client or other legal privilege).

(b) Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Section 4.3, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Acquired Companies shall not, and shall direct their Representatives not to, and shall not knowingly permit any of their Representatives to, (i) engage in any solicitation, knowing encouragement, knowing facilitation (including by way of providing non-public information), discussions or negotiations with any Persons with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal, (B) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish or afford access to any other Person any non-public information relating to any Acquired Company or its business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, in connection with or for the purpose of knowingly encouraging or facilitating, an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (C) enter into, approve or endorse any letter of intent, acquisition agreement, agreement in principle or similar agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”) or (D) authorize or commit to any of the foregoing. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Acquired Companies will cease and cause to be terminated all discussions or negotiations between the Acquired Companies and any Person and such Person’s Representatives (other than Parent and its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives) in connection with any potential Acquisition Proposal.

None of the Acquired Companies shall modify, amend or terminate, or waive, release or assign any provisions of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement (or any similar agreement) to which it is a party relating to any such Acquisition Proposal and shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, the provisions of any such agreement; provided, that the Acquired Companies shall be permitted to waive any standstill agreement (or similar agreement) in order to permit a Person to make an Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board in a confidential manner, if and only if the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to so waive would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.3 or any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to compliance with Section 5.1, in the event that, at any time after the date hereof and prior to the receipt of the Company Required Vote, any Acquired Company or any of its Representatives receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited in breach of this Section 4.3 from any Person or group of Persons, (i) the Company and its Representatives may contact and engage in discussions with such Person or group of Persons solely to clarify any ambiguous terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and inform such Person or group of Persons of the terms of this Section 4.3 and Section 5.1 and (ii) if the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take any action set forth in the following clauses (A) or (B) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements, then the Company and its Representatives may (A) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Person or group of Persons and furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) with respect to the Acquired Companies to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Acquisition Proposal and their respective Representatives and financing sources; provided that the Company shall provide to Parent, prior to or substantially concurrently with the provision of such information to such Person or group of Persons, all such information that is provided to any such Person or group of Persons given such access which was not previously provided to Parent or its Representatives, and (B) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal and its respective Representatives and financing sources with respect to such Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall (i) promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent in writing if (A) any inquiries, proposals or offers which constitute, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, are received by the Acquired Companies or any of their Representatives, (B) any non-public information is requested from any Acquired Company or any of their Representatives in connection with or related to any inquiries, proposals or offers which constitute, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal or (C) any discussions or negotiations with third parties relating to or in connection with any inquiries, proposals or offers which constitute, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal are sought, requested or continued, (ii) provide Parent with a written summary of the material terms and conditions of any of the foregoing, including the identity of the Person making such inquiry, proposal, offer or Acquisition Proposal (including copies of any written materials related thereto), (iii) keep Parent reasonably informed of any material developments relating thereto on a reasonably prompt basis (including copies of any written materials related to any amendments or modifications thereto) and (iv) upon the reasonable request of Parent, reasonably inform Parent of the status of such inquiry, proposal, offer or Acquisition Proposal.

(e) Nothing in this Section 4.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company, the Company Board or any committee thereof from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders that is required by applicable Legal Requirements, (iii) making any “stop, look and

listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (iv) electing to take no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal until the close of business on the tenth (10^th) business day after the commencement of such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act; provided, that any such action that would otherwise constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation shall be made only in accordance with Section 5.1(b), it being understood that any of the foregoing which solely describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto will not, in and of itself, be deemed a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, in each case, so long as neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof takes any action set forth in Section 5.1(a).

(f) The Company agrees that in the event any other Acquired Company or any Representative of the Company or any of the Acquired Companies takes any action (or omits to take any action) which, if taken (or not taken) by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 4.3, the Company shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 4.3.

determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may (A) make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, or (B) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(h) and enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), if and only if: (1) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Legal Requirements; (2) the Company shall have given Parent prior written notice of its intention to consider making a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) at least five (5) business days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation or effecting such termination (a “Determination Notice”) (which notice shall not (in and of itself) constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation); and (3) (I) the Company shall have provided to Parent unredacted copies of the most current drafts of any proposed Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and any financing commitments or other agreements to be entered into in connection with such Acquisition Proposal and a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 4.3(g), (II) the Company shall have afforded Parent five (5) business days (the “Match Period”) after delivery of the Determination Notice and the documents contemplated by the foregoing clause (I) to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement, Commitment Letters and the Limited Guarantee or make another proposal so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal, and shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (III) after considering the terms of this Agreement, the Commitment Letters and the Limited Guarantee and any revisions thereto proposed to be made by Parent, if any, prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the last day of the Match Period, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Legal Requirements. Issuance of any “stop, look and listen” communication by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) shall not, in and of itself, be considered a Company Adverse Change Recommendation and shall not require the giving of a Determination Notice or compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.1, so long as such communication solely describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto and neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof takes any action set forth in Section 5.1(a). The provisions of Section 5.1(b)(i)(2) and Section 5.1(b)(i)(3) shall also apply to any amendment to any economic terms or any material non-economic terms of any Acquisition Proposal and require a new Determination Notice, except that the Match Period shall be deemed to be two (2) business days; and

(ii) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to a Change in Circumstances, if and only if: (A) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Legal Requirements; (B) the Company shall have given Parent a Determination

Notice at least five (5) business days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation (which notice describes the Change in Circumstance in reasonable detail); and (C) (1) the Company shall have afforded Parent five (5) business days after the delivery of the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement and shall have negotiated, to the extent Parent desires to negotiate, in good faith with Parent with respect to such proposed revisions, so that such Change in Circumstances would no longer necessitate a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, and (2) after considering the terms of this Agreement, the Commitment Letters and the Limited Guarantee and the effect of proposed revisions made by Parent, if any, prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the fourth (4^th) business day following delivery of the Determination Notice, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) shall have determined, in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to such Change in Circumstances would still be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Legal Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 5.1(b)(ii)(B) and Section 5.1(b)(ii)(C) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Change in Circumstance and require a new Determination Notice, except that references to five (5) business days shall be deemed to be two (2) business days.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, nothing therein shall prohibit or limit the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates or Representatives to make any proposals to, or undertake any negotiations with, the Company as contemplated by this Section 5.1.

Section 5.2 Proxy Statement.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event, using commercially reasonable efforts to do so within 20 business days) following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, in preliminary form, a proxy statement relating to a meeting of the Company Stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Proxy Statement”) for the purpose of obtaining the Company Required Vote. Subject to Section 5.1(b), the Board of Directors of the Company shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning itself and its Affiliates that is reasonably requested by the Company to be included in the Proxy Statement and Parent shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and the resolution of any comments thereto received from the SEC. The Company will cause the Proxy Statement to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the NRS and the rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE. The Company covenants that, on the date of filing, the date of mailing to the Company Stockholders and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Proxy Statement (excluding any information supplied by Parent, Merger Sub or their Affiliates or Representatives or any Equity Financing Party or Debt Financing Source, in each case, specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement) will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not false or misleading. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any (written or oral) comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy

Statement and to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable and to file the Proxy Statement with the SEC in definitive form promptly thereafter. The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any (written or oral) comments from the SEC or its staff or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall provide Parent with a copy of all written correspondence between the Company or any Company Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand (and a summary of any oral conversations) with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Transactions. Until such time as there has been a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, the Company shall give Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto, prior to filing such documents with the SEC and disseminating such documents to the Company Stockholders and reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all responses to requests for additional information and shall give due consideration, in good faith, to including any comments on each such document or response that are reasonably proposed by Parent. If, at any time prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting, any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors or other Representatives should be discovered by the Company that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties, and the Company shall promptly file an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement describing such information with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, cause such amendment or supplement to be promptly disseminated to the Company Stockholders.

(b) The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than ten (10) calendar days) after the date on which the Company is informed that the SEC does not intend to review the Proxy Statement or has no further comments thereon, (i) mail or cause to be mailed the Proxy Statement (including a form of proxy) in definitive form to the Company Stockholders in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and the Company’s bylaws and (ii) subject to applicable Legal Requirements (including conducting a broker search pursuant to Section 14a-13 of the Exchange Act in order to hold the Company Stockholders Meeting as described in this Section 5.2(b)) take all other action necessary under all applicable Legal Requirements, the Articles of Incorporation, the Company’s bylaws and the rules of the NYSE to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting. The Company shall hold the Company Stockholders Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date on which the Proxy Statement mailing to stockholders is complete. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion, adjourn, recess or postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting (A) with the prior written consent of Parent, (B) after consultation with Parent, to the extent the Company determines such adjournment, recess or postponment is necessary or advisable (1) to permit the preparation, filing and dissemination of any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that the Company has determined, on the advice of its outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Legal Requirements, and (2) for such supplement or amendment to be reviewed by the Company Stockholders in advance of the Company Stockholders Meeting, (C) to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any proceedings in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or (D) if as of the time for which the Company Stockholders

Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholders Meeting or to obtain the Company Required Vote (it being understood that, with respect to clauses (A) through (D) above, the Company shall not postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting more than two times without Parent’s prior written consent). The Company shall, unless there has been a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, use its reasonable best efforts to (1) solicit from the Company Stockholders proxies in favor of the Company Required Vote, and (2) take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the Company Required Vote. The Company shall, upon the request of Parent following the dissemination of the definitive Proxy Statement, keep Parent reasonably informed regarding the proxies received by the Company with respect to the Company Stockholders Meeting. If requested by Parent on up to two (2) separate occasions in order to allow additional time for the solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Company Required Vote, the Company shall postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting for up to ten (10) business days on each such occasion. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the Company Stockholders Meeting will not be postponed or adjourned by more than ten (10) business days each time for any event giving rise to such a postponement or adjournment.

(c) Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to prevent the Company, the Company Board nor any committee thereof from taking any action it is permitted or required to take under, and in compliance with, Section 4.3 or Section 5.1(b).

Section 5.3 Filings, Consents and Approvals.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to satisfy the conditions to the Closing and to consummate and make effective the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event prior to the Termination Date, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, decisions, declarations, approvals and, expirations or terminations of waiting periods from Governmental Bodies and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain any such consent, decision, declaration, approval, clearance or waiver, or expiration or termination of a waiting period by or from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Body, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, authorizations, approvals or waivers from third parties, and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary or reasonably advisable to consummate the Transactions; provided that this Section 5.3(a) shall not require any Party to waive any right or condition contained in this Agreement. This Section 5.3(a) shall not apply to any obligations with respect to Antitrust Laws or Gaming Laws or any filings, consents or approvals thereunder, which shall instead be governed by Sections 5.3(b) through (g), respectively.

(b) Parent and Merger Sub shall each use reasonable best efforts to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and to resolve objections, if any, of the FTC or the DOJ in respect of the HSR Act, so as to obtain such consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals, expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, and to avoid the commencement of a lawsuit by the FTC, the DOJ, or other

Governmental Bodies, and to avoid the entry of, or to eliminate, any Legal Restraint, in respect of the HSR Act, as promptly as possible; provided that (1) none of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates shall be required under this Section 5.3(b) to take or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, in each case that is not conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing or that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, (A) have a Material Adverse Effect or (B) prevent the utilization of the Financing at or after the Closing as contemplated by the Commitment Letters (and the definitive agreements contemplated thereby) (including with respect to collateral security and ratings), and (2) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not take any such action or agree to any such condition or restriction, in each case, without the prior written consent of Parent.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto shall promptly, but in no event later than November 8, 2024, or such other date as may be agreed in writing between antitrust counsel for each Party, make an appropriate filing of all Notification and Report forms as required by the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions.

(d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.3, during the Pre-Closing Period, each Party shall, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any Legal Requirement, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects and consult with each other in connection with any filing or submission in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by a Governmental Body or third party before a Governmental Body, including allowing the other Party to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings and submissions (excluding for all purposes under this Section 5.3(d), application filings and submissions by Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates with the Gaming Authorities), (ii) give the other Parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding brought by a Governmental Body or brought by a third party before any Governmental Body, in each case, with respect to the Transactions, (iii) keep the other Parties reasonably informed on a prompt and regular basis as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, (iv) promptly inform the other Parties of any communication to or from the FTC, DOJ, or any other Governmental Body in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, (v) promptly furnish the other Party with copies of substantive documents, communications or materials provided to or received from any Governmental Body in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding (other than documents or materials included in or supplemental to gaming applications, filings and submissions provided to the Gaming Authorities by Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates that contain personal, private or confidential information), (vi) to the extent reasonably practicable, consult in advance and cooperate with the other Parties and consider in good faith the views of the other Parties in connection with any communication, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, and (vii) in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding in respect of the Transactions, provide advance notice of and permit authorized Representatives of the other Party to be present at each substantive meeting or telephone or video conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding (excluding any meeting or telephone or video conference conducted by Gaming Authorities in the ordinary course of their investigations of Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates) and to have access to and be consulted in advance in connection with any substantive argument,

opinion or proposal to be made or submitted to any Governmental Body in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding. Materials required to be provided pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) may be (A) redacted (1) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company or other bidders for the Company, or with respect to materials provide to Gaming Authorities by Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates, personal, private or confidential information, (2) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (3) as necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, or (B) designated as “outside counsel only,” which materials and the information therein shall be given only to outside counsel or previously-agreed outside consultants of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel or outside consultants to employees of the recipient without the advance written consent of the Party providing such materials. Each Party shall respond as promptly as practicable to any reasonable request for information, documentation, other material or testimony that may be reasonably requested by any Governmental Body, including by complying at the earliest reasonably practicable date with any request for additional information, documents or other materials received by any Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any Governmental Body in connection with such applications or filings for the Transactions. Parent shall pay all filing fees under the HSR Act and all filing fees required under other Antitrust Laws or to obtain any other Governmental Authorization; provided, that, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any Legal Requirement, Parent and the Company each shall bear its own costs for the preparation of any such filings. Neither Parent nor the Company shall, without the prior written consent of the other, commit to or agree with any Governmental Body (I) to enter into any timing agreement, stop the clock, stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period, or pull and refile, under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Laws, or (II) not to consummate the Merger or the Transactions for any period of time. Subject to its obligations under this Agreement, including as otherwise set forth in this Section 5.3, Parent shall have the right to control the strategy for obtaining any Governmental Authorizations in connection with the Transactions; provided, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any Legal Requirement, that Parent shall coordinate with the Company with respect to the strategy for obtaining any Governmental Authorizations in connection with the Transactions, including the overall development of the positions to be taken and the regulatory actions to be requested in any filing or submission with a Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry or litigation by or before, or any negotiations with, a Governmental Body relating to the Transactions and of all other regulatory matters incidental thereto.

(e) During the Pre-Closing Period, without the prior written consent of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and the controlled Affiliates of the Guarantors (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any sister funds) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) acquire or enter into any agreement to acquire, or announce any acquisition of any company, business or assets, that competes at such time with the Acquired Companies or (ii) acquire or agree to acquire any assets, business or any Person, whether by merger, consolidation, purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any Person or by any other manner or engage in any other transaction or take any other action, if the entering into of an agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or purchase or other transaction or action would reasonably be expected to (A) prevent the obtaining of any authorization, consent, clearance, approval or order of a Governmental Body necessary to consummate the Merger and the Transactions, including any approvals and expiration or termination of waiting periods pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Legal Requirements, (B) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Body entering any Legal Restraint, or (C) otherwise materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Merger and the Transactions.

(f) In addition to and without limitation of the foregoing, Parent, Merger Sub and each of their respective Subsidiaries and controlling Affiliates shall, as soon as possible but in any event within 80 days after the date hereof, file, or cause to be filed, with the applicable Gaming Authorities all applications for licensure, submissions for suitability review and other appropriate, necessary and requested documentation in connection with all Required Gaming Approvals (it being understood that any such Gaming Authority’s failure to deem any such filing complete shall not, in and of itself, constitute a failure by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to have satisfied its filing obligations pursuant to this sentence). The Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, as applicable, to use reasonable best efforts to comply with, pursue, and respond to any and all subsequent regulatory requests related to the Required Gaming Approvals, and use reasonable best efforts to cause the receipt of, and to eliminate any Legal Restraint in respect of, the Required Gaming Approvals so as to obtain such Required Gaming Approvals as promptly as possible. Parent shall bear all costs for the preparation of filings with respect to the Required Gaming Approvals and the Additional Gaming Approvals and responding to any inquiries or information requests, if applicable, and Parent shall be responsible for the payment of any applicable filing fees. Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the other party reasonably informed of the status of any substantive communications with, and any substantive inquiries or requests for additional information from, any Gaming Authorities regarding the Required Gaming Approvals received by Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates. No Party, and none of such Party’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall independently participate in any substantive meeting or discussion (written or oral) with any Governmental Body in respect of any matter related to the Required Gaming Approvals, the Additional Gaming Approvals or the Transactions without giving the other Party prior notice of the meeting or discussion and, to the extent reasonably practical and permitted by such Governmental Body, the opportunity to attend and/or participate (excluding any meeting or telephone or video conference conducted by Gaming Authorities in the ordinary course of their investigations of Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates). Subject to Legal Requirements, the Parties will consult and cooperate with each other in connection with any substantive analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party relating to any Required Gaming Approvals or Additional Gaming Approvals. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing shall require (or be deemed to require or interpreted as requiring) Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates to agree to or take (nor shall the Company or its Subsidiaries, without Parent’s prior written consent, take or agree to take or be required to take prior to or after the Closing) any action as a result of this Section 5.3(f) that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, (A) have a Material Adverse Effect, (B) prevent the utilization of the Financing at or after the Closing as contemplated by the Commitment Letters (and the definitive agreements contemplated thereby) (including with respect to collateral security and ratings) or (C) require any restriction under any Gaming Laws to be borne by any Person who (x) is not a director or officer of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries from and after the Closing, (y) will not, directly or indirectly, own any voting interests in the Company immediately following the Closing and (z) will not, directly or indirectly, own at least 5% of the equity interests of the Company immediately following the Closing. Without limiting the

foregoing, (1) nothing in this Section 5.3(e) shall require any Party to take or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, in each case that is not conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing, and (2) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not agree to any such action, condition or restriction without the prior written consent of Parent.

(g) If during the Pre-Closing Period, the Parties become aware that a consent, approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with or notification to, any Gaming Authority on the part of, or with respect to, the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, which was not otherwise listed on Schedule 5.3(f)(i) (an “Additional Required Gaming Approval”), such Party shall give prompt notice of such requirement to the other Parties, and, upon the written consent of all Parties, each such Additional Required Gaming Approval shall be deemed a Required Gaming Approval.

Section 5.4 Employee Benefits.

(a) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time (or until the date of termination of employment of the relevant Continuing Employee, if earlier), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to each employee of the Company who is employed by the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continues to be employed by the Surviving Corporation (or any Subsidiary thereof) immediately following the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) (i) base salary (or base wages, as the case may be), and (ii) short-term target cash incentive compensation or commission opportunities, as applicable, each of which is no less favorable than the base salary (or base wages, as the case may be), short-term target cash incentive compensation or commission opportunities, as applicable, provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time. For a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time (or until the date of termination of employment of the relevant Continuing Employee, if earlier), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to each Continuing Employee benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based compensation, nonqualified deferred compensation, severance, retention, long-term incentive compensation, change in control, transaction bonus, defined benefit pension and post-employment welfare benefits, but including vacation and paid time off benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the employee benefits (subject to the same exclusions) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Employee Plans set forth on Section 2.15(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(b) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to give each Continuing Employee service credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, level of vacation and severance benefits and vesting (other than with respect to future equity or equity-based awards) under Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation’s employee benefit plans and arrangements in which the Continuing Employees participate immediately following the Effective Time (each, a “Parent Employee Benefit Arrangement”) with respect to his or her length of service with the Company (and its Subsidiaries, Affiliates and predecessors) prior to the Closing Date, to the same extent and for the same purpose that such service was recognized under the comparable Employee Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that it would result in the duplication of compensation or benefits or for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan.

(c) With respect to each Parent Employee Benefit Arrangement that is a group health or welfare benefit plan in which a Continuing Employee participates in the year that includes the Effective Time, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) waive, or cause to be waived, all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents), to the extent that such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods would not apply under a similar Employee Plan in which such employees participated immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) ensure that such group health plan shall, for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums and allowances, credit Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) for amounts paid prior to the Effective Time for the portion of the plan year prior to the Effective Time to the same extent that such amounts paid were recognized prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding group health Employee Plan.

(d) If, at least ten (10) business days prior to the Effective Time, Parent provides written notice to the Company directing the applicable Acquired Company to terminate its 401(k) plan(s), the applicable Acquired Company shall terminate any and all 401(k) plans effective as of the day immediately preceding the day on which the Effective Time occurs (the “401(k) Termination Date”). If such 401(k) plan is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.4(d), then as soon as practicable following the 401(k) Termination Date, Parent shall ensure that all Continuing Employees who were eligible to participate in the terminated 401(k) plan immediately prior to the 401(k) Termination Date shall be eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan of Parent or one of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) and shall use reasonable best efforts to permit each such Continuing Employee to elect to transfer his or her account balance when distributed from the terminated 401(k) plan, in the form of cash and including any outstanding participant loans, to such replacement 401(k) plan, if so elected by the applicable Continuing Employee in accordance with and subject to the terms of the terminated 401(k) plan, the replacement 401(k) plan and applicable Legal Requirements.

(e) In the event that the Closing occurs prior to the end of the applicable performance period for any quarterly or annual cash incentives in respect of the fiscal quarter or year, as applicable, in which the Closing occurs, each participant in an Employee Plan that is a quarterly or annual cash incentive plan, as the case may be, who remains employed with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries through the date of payment shall receive a cash bonus based on actual performance for such fiscal quarter or year, as applicable, which amount (if any) shall be payable at the same time that the Company or its applicable Subsidiary pays such amounts in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; provided, nothing in this Section 5.4(e) shall modify or amend any severance, change in control or employment agreement between any Continuing Employee and the Company that is set forth on Section 2.15(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay any such bonus, less any required withholding Taxes, when such bonus would be normally paid.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent or any Affiliate (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) thereof, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent or any Affiliate (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) thereof,

which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Continuing Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be an establishment, amendment or other modification of any Employee Plan or benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement and (ii) nothing in this Section 5.4 shall create or confer any claims, rights or benefits (including any third-party beneficiary rights) in any Person, including any current or former service provider of any of the Acquired Companies or any of its Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof), other than the Parties.

Section 5.5 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) The Parties agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company or another Acquired Company existing in favor of those Persons who are directors and officers of any Acquired Company as of the date of this Agreement or have been directors or officers of any Acquired Company in the past (the “Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time (whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time), as provided in the articles of incorporation and bylaws (or applicable governing documents) of the applicable Acquired Company (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement and made available to Parent) and as provided in the indemnification agreements between the Acquired Company and such Indemnified Persons as set forth on Section 5.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and in effect as of the date of this Agreement made available by the Company to Parent or Parent’s Representatives prior to the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of such Indemnified Persons with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation without an affected Person’s prior written consent, and shall be observed by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent available under applicable Legal Requirements for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, and any claim made pursuant to such rights within such six (6)-year period shall continue to be subject to this Section 5.5(a) and the rights provided under this Section 5.5(a) until disposition of such claim (even if after such six (6)-year period).

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of termination of this Agreement, the Debt Financing Sources will have no liability to the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of its or their direct or indirect equityholders.

Expenses Cap) (the “Parent Liability Limitation”) and (y) the Company or any Company-Related Party be entitled to receive both damages under this Agreement and the Applicable Parent Termination Fee. In no event will any of the Company-Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against (x) Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantors, the Equity Financing Parties or the Debt Financing Sources, or (y) the former, current and future holders of any equity, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates (other than Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantors, the Equity Financing Parties or the Debt Financing Sources), members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders, successors and assignees of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Guarantors (the Persons in clauses (x) and (y) collectively, the “Parent-Related Parties”), and, in no event will any Company-Related Party be entitled to seek or obtain any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation (including in the case of Willful Breach or Fraud) against the Parent-Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Commitment Letters, the Limited Guarantee, any other agreement or document executed in connection herewith or therewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Transactions or any claims or actions under applicable Legal Requirements arising out of or in connection with any breach, termination or failure of any of the foregoing or any matter forming the basis thereof.

(ii) Without limiting Parent’s and Merger Sub’s right to seek an order of specific performance against the Company prior to the termination of this Agreement as permitted by and subject to the requirements of Section 8.6, if this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, Parent’s receipt of the Company Termination Fee to the extent payable pursuant to Section 7.3(b) and the Enforcement Expenses to the extent payable pursuant to Section 7.3(e) (subject to the Enforcement Expenses Cap) constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantors and the Parent-Related Parties against the Company-Related Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any agreement or document executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Transactions or any claims or actions under applicable Legal Requirements arising out of or in connection with any breach, termination, or failure of any of the foregoing or any matter forming the basis thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.3(f)(ii) will not relieve the Acquired Companies from liability if this Agreement is validly terminated by either Party in circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is not payable pursuant to Section 7.3(b) (1) for any Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to such termination or (2) for any breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that under no circumstances will (x) the collective monetary damages or other amounts payable by or liability of the Company-Related Parties for breaches (including any Willful Breach or Fraud) in connection with, relating to or arising out of this Agreement (including any payment of the Company Termination Fee, or the Enforcement Expenses (subject to the Enforcement Expenses Cap), in each case pursuant to this Agreement) exceed an aggregate amount for all such breaches equal to the amount of the Company Termination Fee plus the Enforcement Expenses to the extent payable by the Company pursuant to Section 7.3 (subject to the Enforcement Expenses Cap) (the “Company Liability Limitation”) or (y) Parent, Merger Sub or any Parent-Related Party be entitled to receive both damages under this Agreement and the Company Termination Fee. In no event will any of the Parent-Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Company Liability Limitation against any of the Company-Related Parties, and in no event will Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to seek or obtain any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, in excess of the Company Liability Limitation (including in the case of Willful Breach or Fraud) against the Company-Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement, any other agreement or document executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Transactions or any claims or actions under applicable Legal Requirements arising out of or in connection with any breach, termination or failure of any of the foregoing or any matter forming the basis thereof. Other than the obligations of the Company to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, in no event will any Company-Related Party or any other Person other than the Company have any liability for monetary damages to Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Merger or the Transactions.

(iii) Each of the Parties acknowledges that any amount payable by the Company or Parent pursuant to this Section 7.3, including the Company Termination Fee, or the Applicable Parent Termination Fee does not constitute a penalty, but rather shall constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate a Party for the disposition of its rights under this Agreement in the circumstances in which such amounts are due and payable, which amounts would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(g) Acknowledgement Regarding Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.3(f), it is agreed that Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as provided in Section 8.6, except that, although the Parties, each in its sole discretion, may determine its choice of remedies hereunder, including by pursuing specific performance in accordance with, but subject to the limitations of, Section 8.6, under no circumstances will a Party be permitted or entitled to (i) receive both (x) specific performance of the other Party’s obligations which results in the occurrence of the Closing, and (y) any payment of the Company Termination Fee or the Applicable Parent Termination Fee (in the case of the Company) or monetary damages or other amounts for breaches by the other Party (including any Willful Breach or Fraud) in connection with, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or (ii) receive both (x) any payment of the Company Termination Fee (in the case of Parent) or the Applicable Parent Termination Fee (in the case of the Company) and (y) monetary damages or other amounts for breaches by the other Party (including any Willful Breach or Fraud) in connection with, relating to or arising out of this Agreement.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company may, subject to applicable Legal Requirements, (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of the other Party, or (c) waive compliance by the other Party with any of the agreements contained herein applicable to such Party or, except as otherwise provided herein, waive any of such Party’s conditions (it being understood that Parent and Merger Sub shall be deemed a single Party for purposes of the foregoing); provided that after obtaining the Company Required Vote and prior to the Effective Time, there shall be no waiver or extension of this Agreement that (x) decreases the Merger Consideration or (y) adversely affects the rights of the stockholders of the Company, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), without the approval of the Company Stockholders. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of such Party under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Section 7.3(f), Section 8.1, Section 8.5 and Section 8.8 and this Section 8.2 (or any other provision of this Agreement to the extent a waiver of such provision would modify the substance of the foregoing) may not be waived, in whole or in part, in a manner adverse to any of the Equity Financing Party of Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of the adversely affected Equity Financing Party of Debt Financing Source.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) none of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter nor in any certificate or schedule or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive, and all rights, claims and causes of action (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity) with respect thereto shall terminate at, the Closing and (b) except for any covenant or agreement that by its terms contemplates performance, in whole or in part, after the Closing, none of the covenants or agreements of the Parties in this Agreement shall survive, and all rights, claims and causes of action (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity) with respect to such non-surviving covenants and agreements shall terminate at, the Closing.

Section 8.4 Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement and the other agreements, exhibits, annexes and schedules referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded and shall remain in full force and effect; provided, further, that, if the Effective Time occurs, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by PDF shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Applicable Legal Requirements; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement and all Legal Proceedings (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that State, without regard to any laws or principles thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, except that the laws of the State of Nevada shall govern (i) the Merger, to the extent mandatorily applicable thereto, and (ii) the internal affairs (including fiduciary duties) of the Company and the Company Board (together, “Nevada Law Matters”). Subject to Section 8.6, in any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions each of the Parties irrevocably (i) (A) submits, other than as to Nevada Law Matters, to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware (and any appellate court therefrom) or, if any federal court within the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state court within the State of Delaware (and any appellate court therefrom)), and (B) for Nevada Law Matters, submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada (or, if the court does not have jurisdiction, the Second Judicial District Court of Washoe County, Nevada) and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Nevada (or, if the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada and Second Judicial District Court of Washoe County, Nevada decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Nevada (and any appellate court therefrom) or, if any federal court within the State of Nevada declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other state court within the State of Nevada (and any appellate court therefrom)) (such courts, the “Chosen Courts”) (it being agreed that the consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 8.5(a) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware or the State of Nevada, as applicable, and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties hereto), (ii) waives the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance of any Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) agrees to not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or otherwise request for leave from any Chosen Court, and (iv) agrees not to bring or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such Legal Proceeding in any court other than the Chosen Courts (except for an action to enforce a judgment of a Chosen Court). Each of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first-class

certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such Party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 8.9. The Parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such Legal Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment in a Chosen Court.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

Section 8.6 Specific Performance; Remedies.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable harm, for which monetary damages (including any fees payable pursuant to Section 7.3), even if available, are not an adequate remedy, will occur in the event that the Parties hereto do not perform their obligations in accordance with the specified terms of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) or otherwise breach the provisions of this Agreement. Subject to Section 8.6(b), the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parties shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 8.5(a) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent nor Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is explicitly agreed that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in order to enforce Parent’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded at the Closing and Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the Closing (but not the right of the Company to such injunctions, specific performance or other equitable remedies for any other reason) if, and only if, (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing (if the Closing were then to occur)) or, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, waived, (ii) the Debt Financing has been funded in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof or will be funded in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof if the Equity Financing is funded in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, (iii) Parent and Merger Sub shall have failed to consummate the Merger by the time the Closing was required to occur under Section 1.3(a), (iv) following such failure by Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger, the Company shall have confirmed to Parent in writing (and not withdrawn such confirmation) that (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing (if the Closing were then to occur)) or, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, waived,

and (B) the Company is (and remains throughout such two (2)-business day period) ready, willing and able to consummate the Merger and (v) Parent and Merger Sub fail to consummate the Merger by the end of such two (2) business day period referred to in the foregoing clause (iv) and all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 shall have continued to be satisfied during such two (2)-business day period (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing if the Closing were then to occur).

(c) The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.5 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. The Parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Legal Requirements or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The Parties further agree that, except as otherwise set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 7.3, (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 8.5, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement and (y) nothing set forth in this Section 8.5 shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 8.5 prior to, or as a condition to, exercising any termination right under Article VII (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Legal Proceeding by a Party pursuant to this Section 8.5 or anything set forth in this Section 8.5 restrict or limit such Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

Section 8.7 Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights hereunder may be directly or indirectly assigned (including by operation of law, merger or otherwise), in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, and any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any of such rights without such consent shall be void and of no effect; provided that Parent or Merger Sub may assign this Agreement without consent to any of their Affiliates (provided that such assignment shall not impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise impede the rights of the stockholders of the Company), it being understood that such assignment will not (a) affect the obligations of the parties to the Commitment Letters or the Guarantors pursuant to the Limited Guarantee, or (b) impede or delay the consummation of the Merger or otherwise impede the rights of the holders of shares of Company Stock and Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment by any Party will relieve such Party of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 8.7 shall be null and void.

Section 8.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the Parties hereto) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; except for: (a) if the Closing occurs, the right of (i) the Company Stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration,
