NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the promises and covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:

​

​

“Section 2.6 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Parties agree that the Asset Consideration shall be allocated in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Parties agree that Landcadia Holdco shall prepare and provide to Seller Parent a draft allocation of the Asset Consideration among the Purchased Assets within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. Seller Parent shall notify Landcadia Holdco within thirty (30) days of receipt of such draft allocation of any objection Seller Parent may have thereto. Unless Seller Parent delivers a notice of objection with respect to the allocation of the Asset Consideration by the conclusion of such thirty (30) day period, the draft allocation provided by Landcadia Holdco to Seller Parent pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 2.6 shall become final and binding upon the Parties. Landcadia Holdco and Seller Parent agree to resolve any disagreement with respect to such allocation in good faith. If Landcadia Holdco and Seller Parent are unable to timely resolve such disagreement within thirty (30) days following the delivery of such a notice of objection, then any remaining disputed matters shall be finally and conclusively determined by a mutually agreed independent accounting firm, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by Landcadia Holdco and Seller Parent in a manner determined by such accounting firm. In addition, the Parties hereby undertake and agree to file timely any information that may be required to be filed pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1060(b) of the Code, and shall use an agreed allocation determined pursuant to this Section 2.6 in connection with the preparation of Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 as such Form relates to the Purchased Assets. No Party shall file any Tax Return or other document or otherwise take any position which is inconsistent with an agreed allocation determined pursuant to this Section 2.6, except as may be adjusted by subsequent agreement following an audit by the Internal Revenue Service or as required by Law; provided, that no Party (nor their Affiliates) shall be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation of the Asset Consideration by any Governmental Authority. The Parties shall promptly inform one another of any challenge by any Governmental Authority to any agreed allocation made pursuant to this Section 2.6 and agree to consult with and keep one another informed with respect to the state of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.”

(f/k/a Landry’s Finance Acquisition Co.), GNOG Holdings, LLC, Landry’s Fertitta, LLC (“Seller”), each former share of class B common stock of the Corporation outstanding prior to the Effective Date has converted into one issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock, without any action required on the part of the Corporation or the holders thereof, in accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Certificate.

Section 4.2   Preferred Stock.   The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is hereby expressly authorized to provide out of the unissued shares of the Preferred Stock for one or more series of Preferred Stock and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, of each such series and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issuance of such series and included in a certificate of designation (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) filed pursuant to the DGCL, and the Board is hereby expressly vested with the authority to the full extent provided by law, now or hereafter, to adopt any such resolution or resolutions.

Section 4.3   Common Stock.

(a)   Voting.

(i)   Except as otherwise required by law or this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power with respect to the Corporation.

(ii)   Except as otherwise required by law or this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to vote.

(iii)   Except as otherwise required by law or this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of the Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote,

​

​

Except as otherwise required by law or this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), holders of the Class A Common Stock and holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the exclusive right to vote on all matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by law or this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), holders of shares of any series of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate (including any amendment to any Preferred

 

Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock or other series of Common Stock if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, are entitled exclusively, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or the DGCL.

​

(i)   Voting. Except as otherwise required by law or this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), for so long as any shares of Class B Common Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the prior vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other or special rights of the Class B Common Stock.

(ii)   Issuance of Class B Common Stock.

​

​

(iii)   Transfer of Class B Common Stock.

​

A holder of Class B Common Stock may transfer shares of Class B Common Stock to any transferee (other than the Corporation) only if, and only to the extent permitted by the LLC Agreement, such holder also simultaneously transfers a corresponding number of such holder’s Units to such transferee. Upon a transfer of Units in accordance with the LLC Agreement, a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by the holder of such Units will automatically and simultaneously be transferred to the same transferee of such Units. The transfer restrictions described in this Section 4.3(b)(iii). are referred to as the “Restrictions”. For the avoidance of doubt, when Class B Units are transferred to a Fertitta Affiliate as expressly permitted by the LLC Agreement, a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be simultaneously transferred to a Fertitta Affiliate, and such transfer shall not be subject to the Restrictions.

​

 

​

​

(iv)   Cancellation of Class B Common Stock.   To the extent that any holder of Class B Common Stock exercises its right pursuant to the LLC Agreement to exchange some or all of such holder’s Units in accordance with the LLC Agreement, then, concurrently with such exchange under the LLC Agreement, a number of shares of Class B Common Stock registered in the name of such holder equal to the number of Units that are exchanged by such holder in such transaction (subject to equitable adjustment for any event described in Section 4.3(d) below, as applicable) shall be transferred to the Corporation and cancelled for no consideration.

(v)   Restrictive Legend.   All certificates or book entries representing shares of Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form (or in such other form as the Board may from time to time determine):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS BOOK ENTRY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”).

THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE ACT.

THESE CERTIFICATES ARE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS (INCLUDING RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER) SET FORTH IN THE FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED AND/OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF LHGN HOLDCO, LLC, DATED AS OF [•], 2020, AMONG THE MEMBERS LISTED THEREIN, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED AND/OR RESTATED FROM TIME TO TIME (COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AND SHALL BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO ANY STOCKHOLDER MAKING A REQUEST THEREFOR). NO TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES WILL BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED.

(c)   Reservation of Stock.   The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock an amount equal to the number of then-outstanding Units subject to exchange under the LLC Agreement.

(d)   Splits.   If the Corporation at any time combines or subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amendment of this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into a

 

greater or lesser number of shares, the shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately similarly combined or subdivided such that the ratio of shares of outstanding Class B Common Stock to shares of outstanding Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such subdivision shall be maintained immediately after such combination or subdivision. Any adjustment described in this Section 4.3(d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the combination or subdivision becomes effective. In no event shall the shares of either Class B Common Stock be split, subdivided, or combined (including by way of stock dividend) unless the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall be proportionately split, subdivided or combined.

(e)   Dividends.

(i)   Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of the Corporation) when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

(ii)   Dividends and other distributions shall not be declared or paid on the shares of Class B Common Stock.

(f)   Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up of the Corporation.   Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by them. Holders of Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to receive any assets of the Corporation in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

Section 4.4   Rights and Options.   The Corporation has the authority to create and issue rights, warrants and options entitling the holders thereof to acquire from the Corporation any shares of its capital stock of any class or classes, with such rights, warrants and options to be evidenced by or in instrument(s) approved by the Board.

Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

Section 8.2   Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

(a)   Right to Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.   To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(a), except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

 

(b)   Non-Exclusivity of Rights.   The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under applicable law, this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate, the Bylaws, an agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

(c)   Amendments.   Any repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Section 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

(d)   Indemnification of Other Persons.   This Section 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation and to any other person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to the maximum extent of the provisions of this Section 8.2 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of indemnitees under this Section 8.2. Any person serving as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, administrator, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, at least 50% of whose equity interests are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation (a “subsidiary” for purposes of this Section 8.2) shall be conclusively presumed to be serving in such capacity at the request of the Corporation.

(e)   Procedure for Indemnification.   Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Corporation or advancement of expenses (including attorneys’ fees, costs and charges) under this Section 8.2 shall be made promptly, and in any event within forty-five days (or, in the case of an advancement of expenses, twenty days, provided that the director or officer has delivered the undertaking contemplated by Section 8.2(a) if required), upon the written request of the director or officer. If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnification or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within forty-five days (or, in the case of an advancement of expenses, twenty days, provided that the director or officer has delivered the undertaking contemplated by Section 8.2(a) if required), the right to indemnification or advancements as granted by this Section 8.2 shall be enforceable by the director or officer in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, which shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any such action. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advancement of expenses where the undertaking required pursuant to Section 8.2(a), if any, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the Corporation to the maximum extent permitted by law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(f)   Insurance.   The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any expense, liability, or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability, or loss under the DGCL.

 

(g)   Certain Definitions.   For purposes of this Section 8.2, (a) references to “other enterprise” shall include any employee benefit plan; (b) references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and (c) references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service that imposes duties on, or involves services by, a person with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries.

(h)   Merger or Consolidation.   For purposes of this Section 8.2, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any constituent Corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Section 8.2 with respect to the resulting or surviving Corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent Corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(i)   Reliance.   Persons who after the date of the adoption of this provision become or remain directors or officers of the Corporation or who, while a director or officer of the Corporation, become or remain a director, officer, employee or agent of a subsidiary, shall be conclusively presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnity, advancement of expenses and other rights contained in this Section 8.2 in entering into or continuing such service. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 8.2 shall apply to claims made against an indemnitee arising out of acts or omissions which occurred or occur both prior and subsequent to the adoption hereof.

(j)   Severability.   If any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any Person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other Persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any Person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of Stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article VIII.   

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate or in the future, and the Corporation renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of the Corporation will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to the Corporation, except, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall apply with respect to any of the directors or officers of the Corporation with respect to a corporate opportunity that was offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and (i) such opportunity is one the Corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Corporation to pursue and (ii) the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to the Corporation without violating any legal obligation.

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 12.1 will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
