(e)    Limitation on Conversions. Except as provided in Section 2(f), no Conversion of Class A-2 Shares into shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock shall be effected, and a Restricted Stockholder shall not be required to Convert any portion of the Class A-2 Shares into shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock if, (x) prior to giving effect to the Conversions set forth in this Section 2, such Restricted Stockholder beneficially owns less than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and, (y) after giving effect to the Conversions set forth in this Section 2, such Restricted Stockholder would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of clause (y) of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares

of Company Class A-1 Common Stock beneficially owned by such Restricted Stockholder shall include the number of shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of the Class A-2 Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) Conversion of the remaining, unconverted Class A-2 Shares beneficially owned by such Restricted Stockholder and (ii) exercise or conversion (or deemed exercise or conversion) of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Restricted Stockholder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of issued and outstanding shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock, a Restricted Stockholder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K or Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock issued and outstanding. Additionally, upon the written request of a Restricted Stockholder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm in writing to such Restricted Stockholder the number of shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock then issued and outstanding. In any case, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Conversion of the Class A-2 Shares into shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock, since the date as of which such number of issued and outstanding shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock was reported. For purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

(f)    Regulatory Approval. Notwithstanding the Conversion limitation set forth in Section 2(e), if and when a Restricted Stockholder has obtained all required Gaming Approvals from the applicable Gaming Authorities permitting such Restricted Stockholder to beneficially own shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock in an amount that is in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Class A-2 Shares held by such Restricted Stockholder shall immediately Convert without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Such Restricted Stockholder shall promptly provide to the Company written copies of (i) all such Gaming Approvals upon the issuance of such Gaming Approvals by the applicable Gaming Authorities, and (ii) any modification, amendment, restriction, limitation, termination, revocation or other change to any such Gaming Approvals.

(a)    LTM EBITDA and the LTM EBITDA thresholds as set forth in Sections 2(a), (b) and (c) shall be reasonably adjusted upwards or downwards, as applicable, by the “Independent Directors” (within the meaning of the listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange) of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) from time to time following the Closing to take into account the anticipated effect of any acquisitions or dispositions that are, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $40,000,000.00 during any Measurement Period and otherwise materially different from the annual forecast presented to the Company’s investors at the Closing and consummated by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Any such adjustment to LTM EBITDA or the LTM EBITDA thresholds in Sections 2(a), (b) and (c) shall be made in a manner

 

6


that is consistent with the anticipated impact to EBITDA that is modeled by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the applicable acquisition or disposition, but shall not in any event take into account any impact of synergies; and

(b)    the Closing Sale Price thresholds for the Company Class A-1 Common Stock as set forth in Sections 2(a), (b) and (c) shall be reasonably adjusted by the “Independent Directors” (within the meaning of the listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange) of the Board from time to time following the Closing in good faith to take into account the anticipated effect of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, business combination or other similar transaction or event.

4.    Earnout Statements; Disputes.

(a)    The Company shall deliver an Earnout Statement to the Shareholder Representatives, Pace Sponsor, Pace Governance and Peterson Capital with respect to the Tranche I Conversion, the Tranche II Conversion or the Tranche III Conversion, as applicable, no later than ten (10) days following the Company’s filing of its Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as applicable, for the Tranche I Measurement Periods, the Tranche II Measurement Periods or the Tranche III Measurement Periods, as applicable, with the SEC, provided, that the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to deliver an Earnout Statement to the Shareholder Representatives, Pace Sponsor, Pace Governance and Peterson Capital with respect to a Measurement Period if the Tranche Condition for such period has been satisfied.

(b)    If the Shareholder Representatives, Pace Sponsor, Pace Governance or Peterson Capital disagrees with any calculation set forth in an Earnout Statement, as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Shareholder Representatives’, Pace Sponsor’s, Pace Governance’s or Peterson Capital’s receipt of such Earnout Statement, the Shareholder Representatives, Pace Sponsor, Pace Governance or Peterson Capital, as applicable, shall return to the Company a written report containing any proposed changes to such Earnout Statement and an explanation of any such changes and the reasons therefor (a “Dispute Notice”). The Company shall make available to the Shareholder Representatives, Pace Sponsor, Pace Governance and Peterson Capital such information and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the extent reasonably necessary for the Shareholder Representatives, Pace Sponsor, Pace Governance and Peterson Capital to verify the calculations set forth in such Earnout Statement. The Shareholder Representatives, Pace Sponsor, Pace Governance or Peterson Capital, as applicable, and the Company shall work together in good faith to resolve any matters addressed in a Dispute Notice

6.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and all so executed shall constitute one agreement, binding on all the parties hereto, even though all parties are not signatory to the original or the same counterpart.

7.    Entire Agreement; Waiver; Amendments. This Agreement and the Transaction Agreement and any exhibits, schedules or other documents referred to herein or therein, sets forth the entire understanding of the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements, term sheets, presentations and communications, whether oral or written, with respect to the specific subject matter hereof. No waiver of or consent to any departure from any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by the party entitled to the benefit thereof, provided, that notice of any such waiver shall be given to each party hereto as set forth in Section 11 hereto. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification or termination of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by or on behalf of the Company, Pace Sponsor, Pace Governance, Peterson Capital and Company Holders representing at least 90% of the Class A-2 Shares issued to the Company Holders, provided, that no provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified unless any and each Company Holder adversely affected by such amendment or modification in a manner different than the other Company Holders has expressly consented in writing to such amendment or modification.

8.    Assignment; Transfer; Third Party Beneficiaries; Binding Effect. Class A-2 Shares may not be Transferred, other than to a Permitted Transferee.
