RECITALS

A. On or about May 24, 0000 XXX and Players entered into (1) an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Asset Agreement”) and (2) a Side Letter Agreement (“Letter”). True copies of these documents are respectively attached hereto as Exhibits “A” and “B”. Capitalized terms used herein have the same meaning as set forth in this Agreement.

C. The Asset Agreement and the Letter provided certain conditions to Closing. The Letter Agreement provided that Installment 2, along with subsequent Installments were not due prior to the conditions being met.

The Parties desire to fully and completely resolve the dispute arising from the Purchase Agreement and the Letter Agreement described above and to avoid further litigation and ongoing attorneys’ fees, and any future dispute with each other in connection with this matter and therefore agree as follows:

2. Late Charge. LCG recognizes failure to close the Subsequent Transaction and make the Subsequent Transaction Payment and the Sale Bonus Payment by February 1, 2019, will result in Players incurring additional expenses. LCG agrees that if, for any reason, it fails to pay the Subsequent Transaction Payment and the Sale Bonus Payment when timely due, Payee shall be entitled to damages for the detriment caused thereby, but that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such damages and the actual damages to Players would be unreasonably difficult, costly, inconvenient or impracticable to calculate. Accordingly, the parties agree to liquidated damages that bear a reasonable relationship to the actual harm suffered. LCG therefore agrees that, the Subsequent Transaction Payment and the Sale Bonus Payment are not paid by March 15, 2019, then, in addition to all other rights set forth herein, LCG shall pay Players $50,000 for every month that Subsequent Transaction Payment and the Sale Bonus Payment remains unpaid up until the total amount of $1,100,000 is paid in liquidated damages and such amount is a good faith and fair and reasonable estimate of Payee’s damages resulting from such delinquency or failure to pay the Subsequent Transaction Payment and the Sale Bonus Payment. Such liquidated damages shall be due and payable on March 15, 2019 and every month thereafter on the fifteenth day of the month they are due and any payment in liquidated damages under this Section will be set off from any Sale Bonus payment due.
