Section 1.5 Directors; Officers; Manager.

At each of the two (2) subsequent annual meetings of Parent’s stockholders occurring after the Closing, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each Isle Director to be re-elected to the Parent Board. If at any time prior to January 1, 2019 any of the Isle Directors ceases to be a member of the Parent Board other than due to a failure to be re-elected to the Parent Board by the stockholders of Parent, then the remaining Isle Director shall be entitled to appoint a replacement Isle Director, whose appointment shall be subject to the approval of the majority of the members of the nominating committee of the Parent Board that are not Isle Directors. The provisions of this Section 1.5 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, are expressly intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Isle Directors (including any replacement Isle Director).

(iii) each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than (A) the Excluded Shares and (B) Dissenting Shares will, by virtue of the First Step Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof as provided in and subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 and, in the case of Company Restricted Shares, Section 1.7(b), (A) a number of shares of common stock of Parent, par value $0.00001 per share (“Parent Common Stock”), equal to the Per Share Stock Consideration or (B) a cash payment, without interest, equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration.

(d) Each restricted stock unit, deferred stock unit or phantom unit in respect of a share of Company Common Stock granted under any Company Stock Plan or otherwise, including any such units held in participant accounts under any employee benefit or compensation plan or arrangement of the Company, other than a Company PSU (each a “Company RSU”), that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, (i) continue to vest or accelerate (if unvested), as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable Company Stock Plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Company RSU was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement or applicable employee benefit plan), (ii) be converted into a number of restricted stock units, deferred stock units or phantom units, as applicable, in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock, in an amount equal to the Per Share Stock Consideration (with aggregated fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share), and (iii) remain subject to the same restrictions and other terms as are set forth in the Company Stock Plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Company RSU was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement or applicable employee benefit plan).

ARTICLE II
DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

Section 2.1 Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with such bank or trust company as may be mutually agreed by Parent and the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), which agreement shall provide that Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent at the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock and cash (such shares of Parent Common Stock and cash, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto with a record date after the Effective Time, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) representing the aggregate Merger Consideration. If a Dissenting Stockholder effectively withdraws its demand for, or loses its, appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any Dissenting Shares, Parent shall make available or cause to be made available to the Exchange Agent additional funds in an amount equal to the amount of Cash Consideration payable with respect to such shares pursuant to Section 2.6.

Section 2.2 Delivery of Merger Consideration.

(a) Promptly following the Effective Time, and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of certificate(s) representing shares of Company Common Stock who theretofore has not submitted such holder’s Election Form pursuant to Section 2.3 (all such certificates, together with certificate(s) representing shares of Company Common Stock previously submitted with an Election Form, “Certificates”) (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify to the holders of Certificates that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificate(s) shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificate(s) (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificate(s)) to the Exchange Agent in a form to be mutually agreed upon by Company and Parent (the “Letter of Transmittal”), and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering Certificate(s) for shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration, any amounts in respect of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(e) and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c).

(b) Upon surrender by a holder of Company Common Stock to the Exchange Agent of its Certificate(s), accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal or, to the extent received prior to the Election Deadline, a properly completed Election Form, such holder of Company Common Stock will be entitled to receive (and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to each such holder) promptly after the Effective Time, and in any event no later

than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration and any amounts in respect of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s Certificate(s). Until so surrendered, each such Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive, without interest, the Merger Consideration upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with, and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II.

(c) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby, in each case unless and until the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificate as provided in Section 2.2(g)) in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the whole shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such Certificate and not paid and/or (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such Certificate with a record date after the Effective Time (but before such surrender date) and with a payment date subsequent to the issuance of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to such Certificate.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Company Common Stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, such Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration (and amounts in respect of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(e)).

(e) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates. Each holder of Company Common Stock that would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share interest shall be paid an amount in cash (without interest and subject to the amount of any withholding taxes as contemplated in Section 2.2(i)) equal to such holder’s proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale or sales by the Exchange Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2(e), on behalf of all such holders, of the Excess Securities. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall determine the excess of (x) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the Company Common Stock was converted pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(iii) over (y) the aggregate number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock to which the former holders of Company Common Stock are entitled pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(iii) (such excess being herein called the “Excess Securities”) and the Exchange Agent, as agent for the former holders of Company Common Stock, shall sell the Excess Securities at the prevailing prices on NASDAQ. The sale of the Excess Securities by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on NASDAQ through one or more member firms of NASDAQ and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. The Exchange Agent shall deduct from the proceeds of sale of the Excess Securities all commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, including the expenses and compensation of the Exchange Agent, incurred in

connection with such sale of Excess Securities. Until the net proceeds of such sale of Excess Securities have been distributed to the former stockholders of the Company, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds and dividends in trust for such former stockholders. As soon as reasonably practicable after the determination of the amount of cash to be paid to former stockholders of the Company for any fractional interests, the Exchange Agent shall make available in accordance with this Agreement such amounts to such former stockholders.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the former stockholders of the Company as of the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time may, at Parent’s option, be paid to Parent (together with any dividends in respect thereof). In such event, any former holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent with respect to the Merger Consideration, any amounts in respect of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect of each such share of Company Common Stock such former holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon. The Exchange Agent will notify Parent prior to the time that any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed would have to be delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws and, at Parent’s option, such portion shall be paid to Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Company, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(g) In the event 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 reasonably required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent upon termination of the Exchange Fund pursuant to Section 2.2(f) and any losses resulting from such investments will be made up by Parent to the extent that such losses cause the total amount of cash in the Exchange Fund to fall below the amount necessary to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration.

(i) Parent, the Company, the Intermediate Surviving Entity and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as Parent, the Company, the Intermediate Surviving Entity and the Exchange Agent may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other provision of applicable federal, state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Company, the Intermediate Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent and duly paid over to the applicable taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.

Section 2.3 Election Procedures.

(a) A Letter of Transmittal, an election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials in such form as Parent and the Company shall mutually agree (the “Election Form”) shall be mailed thirty-five (35) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date or on such other date as Parent and the Company shall mutually agree (the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of Company Common Stock as of the close of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Mailing Date (the “Election Form Record Date”).

(b) Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to specify (i) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration (the “Stock Election Shares”), (ii) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration (the “Cash Election Shares”) and (iii) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder makes no election to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration or the Per Share Cash Consideration (the “No Election Shares”). Any Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) with respect to which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Mailing Date (or such other time and date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”) shall be deemed to be No Election Shares.

(c) The Company shall make available one or more Election Forms as may reasonably be requested from time to time by any person who becomes a holder (or beneficial owner) of Company Common Stock between the Election Form Record Date and the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Election Deadline.

(d) Any such election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such certificates) representing all shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials (including a Letter of Transmittal) included in the Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting such Election Form only by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, unless a subsequent properly completed Election Form is submitted and actually received by the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline, the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become No Election Shares and the Company shall cause the applicable Certificates to be promptly returned without charge to the person submitting the Election Form upon written request to that effect from the holder who submitted the Election Form. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Company or the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. None of Parent,

the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, (i) the quotient of (A) the aggregate dollar value of the Stock Consideration (assuming that each share of Parent Common Stock has a value of $14.04) and (B) the Aggregate Total Consideration (the “Stock Percentage”) shall equal 42% (the “Required Stock Percentage”) and (ii) the quotient of (A) Cash Consideration plus aggregate Dissenting Stockholder Consideration (assuming the amount payable for each Dissenting Share is equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration) and (B) the Aggregate Total Consideration (the “Cash Percentage”) shall equal 58% (the “Required Cash Percentage”).

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, (i) the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock that may be converted into the right to receive Stock Consideration shall be equal to the Required Stock Percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Maximum Stock Shares”) and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock that may be converted into the right to receive Cash Consideration and Dissenting Stockholder Consideration shall be equal to the Required Cash Percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Maximum Cash Shares”).

(g) Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the former holders of Company Common Stock of rights to receive the Merger Consideration as follows:

(i) Cash Oversubscribed. If the total number of the Cash Election Shares plus the Dissenting Shares would cause the Cash Percentage to exceed the Required Cash Percentage, then:

(A) all Stock Election Shares and No Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration;

(B) each of the holders of Cash Election Shares shall have an amount of their Cash Election Shares (the “Stock Designated Shares”) equal to the product of (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder and (y) one (1) minus a fraction, the numerator of which is a number equal to the number of Maximum Cash Shares minus the number of Dissenting Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of Cash Election Shares, converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration; and

(C) the Cash Election Shares that are not Stock Designated Shares will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration.

(ii) Stock Oversubscribed. If the total number of the Stock Election Shares would cause the Stock Percentage to exceed the Required Stock Percentage, then:

(A) all Cash Election Shares and No Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration;

(B) each of the holders of Stock Election Shares shall have an amount of their Stock Election Shares (the “Cash Designated Shares”) equal to the product of (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder and (y) one (1) minus a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Stock Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of Stock Election Shares, converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration; and

(C) the Stock Election Shares that are not Cash Designated Shares will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration.

(iii) Neither Cash nor Stock Oversubscribed. If the total number of the Stock Election Shares is less than the Maximum Stock Shares and the total number of the Cash Election Shares plus the Dissenting Shares is less than the Maximum Cash Shares (the amount by which the Maximum Cash Shares exceeds the total number of Cash Election Shares, the “Shortfall Number”), then:

(A) all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration;

(B) all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration;

(C) each of the holders of No Election Shares shall have an amount of their No Election Shares (the “No Election Cash Designated Shares”) equal to the product of (x) the number of No Election Shares held by such holder and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is a number equal to the Shortfall Number minus the number of Dissenting Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of No Election Shares, converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration; and

(D) the No Election Shares that are not No Election Cash Designated Shares will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration.

For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.3, Company Restricted Shares shall not be treated as Company Common Stock.

Section 2.4 Adjustments. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, in the event that the Company changes the number of shares of Company Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time, in each case as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, merger, subdivision, exchange, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted as appropriate.

Section 2.5 Uncertificated Shares. In the case of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock that are not represented by Certificates, the parties shall make such adjustments to this Article II as are necessary or appropriate to implement the same purpose and effect that this Article II has with respect to shares of Company Common Stock that are represented by Certificates.

Section 2.6 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a stockholder who did not vote in favor of the Mergers (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (the “Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive Merger Consideration, but instead such holder shall be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Stockholder Consideration”) (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost its right to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such holder’s shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each such Share, and such shares shall be treated as Cash Election Shares under this Agreement and shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(g). The Company shall give Parent prompt notice and a copy of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to Company Stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal by Company stockholders under the DGCL, so long as Parent does not create any pre-Closing obligations of the Company. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(c) To the knowledge of the Company, the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted does not infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property Rights of any third Person in a manner that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the business and operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Parent has made available to the Company true and correct copies of all Parent Leases (including all amendments thereto), and the Parent Leases set forth on Section 4.20(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter constitute the entire agreement between Parent and its Subsidiaries (as applicable), on the one hand, and each landlord or sublandlord (as applicable), on the other hand, with respect to the applicable Parent Leased Real Property. With respect to the Parent Leased Real Property:

(i) the Parent Leases are (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto) valid, binding and enforceable with respect to Parent or a Subsidiary, as applicable, and, to Parent’s knowledge, the other parties thereto, except as such enforcement may be limited by (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership and other Laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and (B) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or law. There does not exist (x) under any Parent Lease any

material default by Parent or any Subsidiary or, to Parent’s knowledge, by any other Person, or (y) any event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default by Parent or any Subsidiary or, to Parent’s knowledge, by any other Person;

(ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, in connection with such Parent Leases, cause a breach or default with respect to any Parent Lease; and

(iii) Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent is the holder of the tenant’s interest under each of the Parent Leases and neither Parent nor any Subsidiary has assigned the Parent Leases or subleased all or any portion of the premises leased thereunder. Parent has not made any alterations, additions or improvements to the premises leased under the Parent Leases that are expressly required to be removed pursuant to the applicable Parent Lease at the termination of the applicable Parent Lease term.

(c) Section 4.20(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter contains a list of each vessel and such list includes all vessels used by Parent and its Subsidiaries in the conduct of Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ business (each such vessel, a “Parent Vessel”). Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the operations or business of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (i) each Parent Vessel is currently documented with and has a current and valid certificate of inspection issued by, the United States Coast Guard or other applicable Governmental Entity, (ii) the Parent Vessels are in sufficient condition and repair and are adequate for the use, occupancy and operation of the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries, (iii) to Parent’s knowledge, the improvements situated on the Parent Vessels are free from structural defects and violations of Laws applicable thereto.

Section 4.21 Intellectual Property.

(a) Section 4.21(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list of all Parent Registered IP. To the knowledge of Parent, no Parent Registered IP is involved in any interference, reissue, reexamination, opposition, cancellation or similar proceeding and no such action is or has been threatened with respect to any of the Parent Registered IP. All Parent Registered IP is solely and exclusively owned by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice or claim challenging the validity or enforceability of any Parent Registered IP that remains pending or unresolved.

(b) Parent and each of its Subsidiaries has taken commercially reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of all Trade Secrets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, including taking commercially reasonable steps to safeguard any such information that is accessible through computer systems or networks. To the knowledge of Parent, there has been no misappropriation or unauthorized access, use, modification or breach of security of Trade Secrets maintained by or on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) To the knowledge of Parent, the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted does not infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property Rights of any third Person in a manner that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on

the business and operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice or claim asserting that any such infringement or misappropriation is occurring or has occurred, which notice or claim remains pending or unresolved, and that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the business and operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has issued any notice or claim since January 1, 2013 that a third Person is misappropriating or infringing any Owned Parent Intellectual Property and, to the knowledge of Parent, no third Person is misappropriating or infringing any Owned Parent Intellectual Property. No Owned Parent Intellectual Property is subject to any outstanding order, judgment, decree, agreement, or stipulation restricting or limiting any use or licensing thereof by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(d) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, Parent or its Subsidiaries solely and exclusively own all right, title and interest in and to (including the sole right to enforce) the Owned Parent Intellectual Property, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and have not granted any license, covenant, release, immunity or other right with respect to any Owned Parent Intellectual Property to any Person other than non-exclusive licenses granted in the ordinary course of business in connection with marketing and promotional activities. All of the Parent Intellectual Property that is necessary to the business or operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that is not Owned Parent Intellectual Property is duly and validly licensed to Parent or its Subsidiaries pursuant to a valid and enforceable Contract. For avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence does not constitute a representation or warranty with respect to non-infringement of Patents of any third Person, which is addressed separately in Section 3.21(c). Following the Closing, the Final Surviving Entity will own or have, and will be permitted to exercise, the same rights that Parent and its Subsidiaries had immediately prior to the Closing with respect to Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Rights (other than off-the-shelf computer programs), in each case that are material to the operations of the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, without the payment of any additional amounts or consideration (other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments which Parent or its Subsidiaries would otherwise have been required to pay had this Agreement not been entered into and the transactions not occurred).

(e) To the knowledge of Parent, Parent and each Subsidiary has (i) complied in all material respects with its respective privacy policies and all applicable Laws relating to privacy and data security, including with respect to the collection, storage, transmission, transfer, disclosure and use of Personal Information, and (ii) implemented and maintained a data security plan which maintains effective and commercially reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect Personal Information against loss, damage and unauthorized access, use, modification or other misuse. To the knowledge of Parent, there has been no material loss, damage or unauthorized access, use, modification or breach of security of Personal Information maintained by or on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case that are material to the operations of the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. To the knowledge of Parent, since January 1, 2013, no Person (including any Governmental Entity) has made any claim or commenced any action with respect to loss, damage or unauthorized access,

use, modification or breach of security of Personal Information maintained by or on behalf of any of Parent or its Subsidiaries in each case that are material to the operations of the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Mergers or other transactions contemplated hereby will, or reasonably would be expected to, result in any material violation of any privacy policy of Parent and its Subsidiaries or any applicable Law pertaining to privacy, data security or Personal Information.

Section 4.22 Affiliate Transactions. Except for directors’ and employment-related Parent Material Contracts identified in Section 4.178 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, as of the date hereof, no executive officer or director of Parent (a) is a party to any Parent Material Contract with, or binding upon, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, (b) has any interest in any property owned by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or (c) has engaged in any of the foregoing transactions within the last twelve (12) months.

Section 4.23 State Takeover Statutes. None of the requirements or restrictions of any Takeover Laws enacted in any state in the United States applies to this Agreement or to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Mergers.

Section 4.24 Brokers. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person, other than X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of the Parent Entities. Parent has provided to the Company a complete and correct copy of all contracts between Parent and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC pursuant to which X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC would be entitled to any payment relating to the Mergers or other transactions contemplated herein or otherwise.

Xxxxxx Securities LLC has delivered to the Parent Board its written opinion (or oral opinion to be confirmed in writing), dated as of the date of this Agreement, to the effect that, as of such date, the Merger Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to Parent.

Section 4.26 Solvency of Parent. Immediately following the Effective Time and after giving effect to the Mergers and taking into account the financing necessary in order to consummate the Mergers, Parent and each of its Subsidiaries will not (i) be insolvent (either because their respective financial conditions are such that the sum of their debts is greater than the fair market value of their assets or because the fair saleable value of their assets is less than the amount required to pay their probable liability on their existing debts as such debts mature); (ii) have unreasonably small capital with which to engage in the Business; or (iii) have incurred, nor have intended to incur or believe they have incurred, debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as such debts become due.

Section 4.27 Financing. Parent has delivered to the Company a true, complete and correct copy of an executed Commitment Letter (including all exhibits, annexes, schedules and term sheets and the executed fee letters attached thereto or contemplated thereby (provided, that provisions in the fee letters or Commitment Letter relating solely to fees and economic terms

agreed to by the parties may be redacted (none of which redacted provisions adversely affect the availability of or impose additional conditions on, the availability of the Debt Financing at the Closing)), dated as of September 19, 2016 (such Commitment Letter as the same may be amended or replaced pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, Section 5.18, is referred to herein as the “Debt Financing Commitment”), among Parent and Lender, pursuant to which, among other things, Lender has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Debt Financing Commitment, to provide or cause to be provided, the financing commitments specified in Section 4.27 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, the proceeds of which (including proceeds of any notes offering contemplated thereby) are to be used to fund the Cash Consideration, refinance outstanding indebtedness of the Company and pay transaction fees and expenses. The financing commitments contemplated under the Debt Financing Commitment, as amended or replaced in compliance with Section 5.18, are referred to herein, individually and collectively, as the “Debt Financing”. Parent has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Debt Financing Commitment that are payable on or prior to the date hereof and, to the knowledge of Parent, the Debt Financing Commitment is, as of the date hereof, in full force and effect. The Debt Financing Commitment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto. The Debt Financing Commitment (or any Debt Financing contemplated thereunder) has not been or will not be amended or modified, except as consistent with Section 5.18, and, as of the date hereof, the Debt Financing Commitment has not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. As of the date hereof, (i) no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent under the Debt Financing Commitment, and (ii) subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article III hereof, the performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of their obligations contained in this Agreement and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 hereof, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any material term or condition of closing to be satisfied by the Debt Financing Commitment on or prior to the Closing Date. As of the date hereof, there are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing other than as expressly set forth in Section 5 and Annex III of the Debt Financing Commitment. As of the date hereof, there are no side letters or other agreements, contracts or arrangements (except for customary fee letters, which do not contain provisions that impose any additional conditions to the funding of the Debt Financing not otherwise set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment) related to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing. The aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment, together with the available cash of Parent and the Company on the Closing Date (if any) and any Alternative Financing (if any), will be sufficient for the Parent Entities to consummate the Mergers upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.28 No Other Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Article IV, the Company acknowledges that none of the Parent Entities, Parent’s Subsidiaries or any other Person on behalf of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries makes any other express or implied representation or warranty in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(i) the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Superior Company Proposal or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement in order to enter into (or permit or cause any Subsidiary of the Company to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement if: (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (B) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, at least five (5) days (the “Superior Company Proposal Notice Period”) before taking such action of its intention to do so, which notice shall state expressly that the Company has received a Company Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board intends to declare a Superior Company Proposal and that the Company Board intends to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or the Company intends to terminate this Agreement in order to enter into (or permit or cause any Subsidiary of the Company to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement; (C) the Company attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis if and to the extent there are any subsequent material changes to such agreement) and the identity of the third party making such Superior Company Proposal; (D) the Company negotiates, and uses its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to negotiate, with Parent (to the extent requested by Parent) in good faith during the Superior Company Proposal Notice Period to make adjustments with respect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Superior Company Proposal Notice Period, if there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Company Proposal, including any revision in price, the Superior Company Proposal Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) days remain in the Superior Company Proposal Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)); and (E) at or after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the last day of the Superior Company Proposal Notice Period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that such Company Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Company Proposal after taking into account any adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement agreed by Parent in writing during the Superior Company Proposal Notice Period;

(ii) the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Company Intervening Event if: (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (B) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, at least five (5) days (the “Company Intervening Event Notice Period”) before taking such action of its intention to do so, which notice shall specify the reasons therefor; (C) the Company (1) negotiates, and uses its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to negotiate, with Parent (to the extent requested by Parent) in good faith during the Company Intervening Event Notice Period to make adjustments with respect to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Company Board no longer determines that the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation

Change in response to such Company Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (2) permits Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent Parent desires to make such presentation) and (D) at or after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the last day of the Company Intervening Event Notice Period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that a failure to make such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would still be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law after taking into account any adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement agreed by Parent in writing during the Company Intervening Event Notice Period.

(e) (i) Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall prevent the Company Board from disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act and (ii) no disclosure that the Company Board determines, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that it or the Company is required to make under applicable Law will constitute a violation of this Agreement.

Section 5.5 Preparation of Proxy Statement and Registration Statement; Stockholders Meetings.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, and in any event no later than forty-five (45) days thereafter, (i) Parent and the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and (ii) Parent shall prepare and file (with the reasonable cooperation of the Company) with the SEC the Registration Statement, which will include the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and constitute part of the Registration Statement. Each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as necessary to consummate the Mergers, the Share Issuance and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Parent and the Company will cause the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to Parent’s stockholders and the Company’s stockholders, respectively, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act. Parent shall also take any action required to be taken under any applicable state securities Laws in connection with the Share Issuance, and each of Parent and the Company shall furnish all information concerning it and its stockholders, or holders of a beneficial interest therein, as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. No filing or mailing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be made by Parent or the Company, as applicable, without the other’s prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and without providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (which comments shall be considered by the other party in good faith); provided, however, that at the Company’s request, Parent shall reasonably cooperate in amending or supplementing the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or Registration Statement (including by incorporation by reference) to include (A) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, (B) a statement of the reason of the Company Board for making such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, (C) a factually accurate statement by the Company that describes the

Company’s receipt of a Company Acquisition Proposal, the terms of such proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto, and (D) additional information reasonably related to the foregoing. Parent shall take any action necessary to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Share Issuance to be authorized for listing on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide the other with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, and all written comments with respect to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement and advise the other party of any oral comments with respect to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments from the SEC with respect to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comment from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement. Parent or the Company, as applicable, will advise the other promptly after it receives oral or written notice of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment thereto has been filed, any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information, or the threat or issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and will promptly provide the other with copies of any written communication from the SEC or any state securities commission relating to any such matter and shall use reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that any of such documents would not include a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company and Parent.

(c) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the clearance of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus by the SEC, the Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Laws and the Constituent Documents to duly give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) and not postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting except (i) to the extent required by applicable Law (including to provide additional disclosure to the stockholders of the Company on account of a Company Acquisition Proposal) or (ii) solicit additional votes in favor of adoption of this Agreement if sufficient votes to constitute the Company Stockholder Approval have not been obtained; provided that, unless

otherwise agreed by the parties, the Company Stockholders Meeting may not be postponed or adjourned to a date that is the earlier of (x) twenty-five (25) days after the date for which the Company Stockholders Meeting was originally scheduled (excluding any adjournments or postponements required by applicable Law) and (y) three (3) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. The Company will, except in the case of a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, through the Company Board, recommend that its stockholders adopt this Agreement and will use reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of its stockholders required by the rules of NASDAQ or applicable Laws to obtain such approvals.

(d) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the clearance of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus by the SEC, Parent shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Laws and Parent’s articles of incorporation and bylaws to duly give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval (the “Parent Stockholders Meeting”) and not postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholders Meeting except to the extent required by applicable Law or to solicit additional proxies and votes in favor of adoption of this Agreement if sufficient votes to constitute the Parent Stockholder Approval have not been obtained; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Parent Stockholders Meeting may not be postponed or adjourned to a date that is the earlier of (x) twenty-five (25) days after the date for which the Parent Stockholders Meeting was originally scheduled (excluding any adjournments or postponements required by applicable Law) and (y) three (3) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. Parent will, through the Parent Board, recommend that its stockholders approve the Share Issuance and will use reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the Share Issuance and to take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of its stockholders required by the rules of NASDAQ or other applicable Laws to obtain such approvals.

(e) The Company and Parent will use their respective reasonable best efforts to hold the Company Stockholders Meeting and the Parent Stockholders Meeting on the same date and at the same time.

Section 5.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) From the date hereof to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement, upon reasonable prior written notice, each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries and its Representatives to, afford to the other party reasonable access during normal business hours, consistent with applicable Law, to its officers, key management employees, properties, offices, other facilities and books and records, and shall promptly furnish the other party with all financial, operating and other data and information as such party shall reasonably request in writing (it being agreed, however, that the foregoing shall not permit either party or its officers, employees or representatives to conduct any environmental testing or sampling or other invasive testing). Each of Parent and the Company shall furnish to the other party and its Representatives such available financial and operating data, including any unaudited financial statements, as the other party may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such investigation or consultation shall be

conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of any party or its Subsidiaries or otherwise result in any significant interference with the prompt and timely discharge by the employees of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, of their normal duties. Neither Parent, the Company nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would (i) breach any agreement with any third party, (ii) constitute a waiver of or jeopardize the attorney-client or other privilege held by such party or (iii) otherwise violate any applicable Law, including Gaming Laws.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company and each of their Subsidiaries will hold and treat, and will cause their respective Representatives to hold and treat, in confidence all documents and information concerning the other party furnished to it, its Subsidiaries and/or its Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any and all information or documents furnished in accordance with the confidentiality letter agreement, dated July 7, 2016, between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”)), which Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Section 5.7 Regulatory Approvals.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and cooperate with each other in order to do, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law (including under any Antitrust Law and under any applicable Gaming Law) to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the earliest practicable date, including: (i) causing the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Mergers and the taking of such actions as are necessary to obtain any requisite expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act; (ii) taking the steps necessary or desirable to obtain all consents, approvals (including Gaming Approvals) or actions of, make all filings with and give all notices to any Governmental Entity or any other Person required in order to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) defending all lawsuits and other proceedings by or before any Governmental Entity challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Mergers; and (iv) resolving any objection asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement raised by any Governmental Entity and preventing the entry of any court order, and vacating, lifting, reversing or overturning any injunction, decree, ruling, order or other action of any Governmental Entity that would prevent, prohibit, restrict or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the provisions of Section 5.7(a), each of the parties, as applicable, agrees to prepare and file as promptly as practicable, and in any event by no later than fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of this Agreement, an appropriate Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act. Each of the Company and Parent shall pay all of its own filing fees and other charges for the filings required under the HSR Act with respect to it and its Subsidiaries.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the provisions of Section 5.7(a), Parent and the Company agree to, and agree to cause their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, partners, managers, members, principals and stockholders to, prepare and submit to the Gaming Authorities all applications and supporting documents necessary to obtain all required Gaming Approvals as promptly as practicable, and in any event no later than thirty (30) days from the date of this Agreement.

(d) If any of the Parent Entities or the Company receives a request for information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including but not limited to a Request for Additional Information or Documentary Material under the HSR Act or requests for supporting, supplemental, or additional documentation from any Gaming Authorities, then such party shall in good faith make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other parties, a response which is, at a minimum, in substantial compliance with such request.

(e) The parties shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining the approvals of or clearances from each applicable Governmental Entity, including:

(i) cooperating with each other in connection with filings required to be made by any party under any Antitrust Law or applicable Gaming Law and liaising with each other in relation to each step of the procedure before the relevant Governmental Entities and as to the contents of all communications with such Governmental Entities. In particular, to the extent permitted by Law or Governmental Entity, no party will make any written communication with any Governmental Entity in relation to the transactions contemplated hereunder without first providing the other parties with a copy of such communication in draft form and giving such other parties a reasonable opportunity to discuss its content before it is filed with the relevant Governmental Entities, and such first party shall consider all reasonable comments timely made by the other parties in this respect; provided, however, that no party shall be required to provide the other parties with any written communications with any Governmental Entity (or related materials) if such party reasonably determines that the disclosure of such written communications with any Governmental Entity (or related materials) would be materially prejudicial to such party’s business;

(ii) furnishing to the other parties all information within its possession that is required for any application or other filing to be made by the other parties pursuant to applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) promptly notifying each other of any communications (and, unless precluded by Law, providing copies of any such communications that are in writing) from or with any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and ensuring to the extent permitted by Law or Governmental Entity that each of the parties is entitled to attend any substantive meetings with or other appearances before any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless a party has a

reasonable basis to object to the presence of the other parties at any such meetings or appearances;

(iv) consulting and cooperating with one another in connection with all analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the Antitrust Laws or applicable Gaming Laws; and

(v) without prejudice to any rights of the parties hereunder, consulting and cooperating in all respects with the other in defending all lawsuits and other proceedings by or before any Governmental Entity challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) In addition, Parent and the Company shall take, or cause to be taken, all other action and do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable under all Antitrust Laws and/or applicable Gaming Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable the expiration or termination of all waiting periods and obtain all Permits and all other approvals and any other consents required to be obtained in order for the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) No actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be considered for purposes of determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, commercially, competitively and/or personal sensitive information and materials of a party will be provided to the other parties on an outside counsel-only basis, provided that the parties shall cooperate to enable appropriate communications to be made available to the other party with respect to such commercially or competitively sensitive information redacted if necessary.

Section 5.8 Compensation and Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) If mutually agreed by Parent and the Company, the Company, shall one (1) Business Day prior to the Effective Time, adopt resolutions terminating any Company Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the date the Company and Parent become members of the same controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code), which Parent and the Company have determined should be terminated prior to the Effective Time. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Parent, and the Company shall provide evidence that such resolutions have been adopted by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, as applicable.

(b) From the Effective Time until December 31, 2017, Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Final Surviving Entity or any of its Subsidiaries) to, offer Company Employees, to the extent they remain employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Final Surviving Entity or any of its Subsidiaries), compensation (including wages, salaries and cash bonus opportunities) and other employee benefits (excluding equity-based or equity-linked compensation or benefits, and excluding any pension or other retiree benefits)

which are not materially less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such employees as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (or, if less, than those offered to similarly-situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries).

(c) With respect to employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements that are established or maintained by Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Final Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries) from and after the Effective Date (the “Parent Benefit Plans”), to the extent applicable (i) Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) shall be given credit for their service with the Company and its Subsidiaries for all purposes, including eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accrual (but not benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan), to the same extent such service was taken into account by the Company and its Subsidiaries under a corresponding Company Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations shall be waived for Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) (provided that in the case of any insured arrangement such waivers shall be subject to the consent of the applicable insurer and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent) and (iii) all Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) shall be given credit for amounts paid under a corresponding Company Plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, copayments and out of pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Parent Benefit Plans (provided that in the case of any insured arrangement such credit shall be subject to the consent of the applicable insurer and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.8(c), service and other amounts shall not be credited to Company Employees (or their eligible dependents) to the extent the crediting of such service or other amounts would result in the duplication of benefits.

(d) As of the Effective Time, the Final Surviving Entity and/or its applicable Subsidiaries shall continue as a party to, as required and by operation of Law (and, to the extent required by an applicable agreement or arrangement, Parent shall cause the Final Surviving Entity and/or its applicable Subsidiaries) to assume and agree to perform in accordance with their terms), all employment, consulting, collective bargaining, severance, bonus, retention, change in control, incentive and other compensation agreements and arrangements existing as of the Effective Time between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any director, officer or employee thereof or covering Company Employees (or former employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (“Former Company Employees”)) or in which Company Employees (or Former Company Employees) are eligible to participate; provided that any such agreements or arrangements entered into after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries were entered into in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement (including this Section 5.7(a)), express or implied (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any employee benefit or employment plan, program, agreement, or arrangement after the Effective Time, (iii) is intended to confer or shall confer upon any current or former employee any right to employment or continue employment, or constitute or create an employment agreement with any employee,

or (iv) is intended to confer or shall confer upon any individual or any legal representative of any individual (including employee, retirees, or dependents or benefits of employees or retirees) any right as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

Section 5.9 Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Company and Parent and their respective boards of directors shall take such commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary to render such Law inapplicable to all of the foregoing or to ensure that the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such Takeover Law on this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.10 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company and Parent shall promptly notify each other of (a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby, if the subject matter of such communication could be material to the Company or Parent, (b) any Action commenced or, to such party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby or (c) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would cause or result in any of the conditions to the Mergers set forth in Article VI not being satisfied or satisfaction of those conditions being materially delayed in violation of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall not (i) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (ii) limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice; provided further, that failure to give prompt notice pursuant to clause (c) shall not constitute a failure of a condition to the Mergers set forth in Article VI except to the extent that the underlying fact or circumstance not so notified would standing alone constitute such a failure.

Section 5.11 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any employee may have under any agreement or Company Plan, from the Effective Time through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent shall, and shall cause the Final Surviving Entity to, indemnify and hold harmless each present (as of the Effective Time) and former officer or director of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), as applicable against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to (i) the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, fiduciary or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws each

as at the date hereof (collectively, the “Constituent Documents”). In the event of any such Action, (A) each Indemnified Party shall be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any Action from Parent or the Final Surviving Entity, as applicable, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and the applicable Constituent Documents; provided that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and only to the extent required by applicable law or the Constituent Documents, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final adjudication that such person is not entitled to indemnification, (B) none of Parent or the Final Surviving Entity shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened Action (and in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents, and (C) Parent and the Final Surviving Entity shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter. Parent and the Final Surviving Entity shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligation to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Parties.

(b) Except as may be required by applicable Law, Parent and the Company agree that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries or in any indemnification agreement (or form thereof) identified in Section 5.11(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter and in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time between such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall survive the Mergers and continue in full force and effect, and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall either cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, or cause to be provided substitute policies or purchase or cause the Company to purchase a “tail policy,” in either case of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous in the aggregate to the Indemnified Parties than such policy with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies in respect of any one policy year annual premiums in excess of 250% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. All such policies, including any substitute policies, shall be issued by carriers rated A, XII or higher by A.M. Best Company. At the Company’s option, it may purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six (6) year prepaid, non-revocable and non-cancellable tail policy on terms and conditions (in both amount and scope) providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby. If such prepaid tail policy has been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall

cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Final Surviving Entity.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Action (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is instituted against any Indemnified Party on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such Action.

(e) The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 5.11 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may be to the contrary, expressly are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives.

(f) In the event that the Final Surviving Entity or Parent or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Final Surviving Entity or Parent, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.11.

Section 5.12 Public Announcements. Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, consult with each other before issuing, and give each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any public announcement without the prior consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange. Parent and the Company agree that the press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint release of Parent and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and the Company may make public statements in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences so long as such statements are substantially consistent with press releases, public disclosures or public statements previously issued or made by Parent or the Company, as applicable.

Section 5.13 Obligations of Merger Subs and Parent; Consents of Parent. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub A and Merger Sub B to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver to the Parent Entities no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date payoff letters with respect to the Company Credit Agreement and, to the extent reasonably requested by Parent in writing no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, any indebtedness incurred by any of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the date hereof in compliance with Section 5.1(b)(viii) (each, a “Payoff Letter”) in form and substance customary for transactions of this type, from the persons, or the applicable agent on behalf of the persons, to which such indebtedness is owed, which Payoff Letters together with any related release documentation shall, among other things, include the payoff amount and provide for Liens (and guarantees), if any, granted in connection therewith relating to the assets, rights and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries securing such indebtedness and any other obligations secured thereby, upon the payment of the amount set forth in the applicable Payoff Letter on or prior to the Closing Date, to be released and terminated.

Section 5.15 Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b). The Company and Parent agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain Company Insiders (as defined below) in connection with the Mergers, both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that Company Insiders not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in connection with the conversion of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares, Company PSUs and Company RSUs into Parent Common Stock and Parent options, restricted shares, performance stock units and restricted stock units, as the case may be, in the Mergers, and for that compensatory and retentive purpose agree to the provisions of this Section 5.15. Assuming the Company delivers to Parent in a reasonably timely fashion prior to the Effective Time accurate information regarding those officers and directors of the Company who will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (the “Company Insiders”), the number of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares, Company PSUs and Company RSUs held by each such Company Insider expected to be exchanged in the Mergers, Parent Board, or a committee of non-employee directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act), shall reasonably promptly thereafter, and in any event prior to the Effective Time, adopt a resolution providing in substance that the receipt by the Company Insiders of Parent Common Stock, Parent options, and Parent restricted stock units, deferred stock units and phantom units, in exchange for Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares, Company PSUs and Company RSUs, in each case pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, are approved by Parent Board or by such committee thereof, and are intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to ensure that the dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any officer or director of the Company who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act are exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.16 Tax Matters. During the period up to the Closing, the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of each such entity, timely pay all Taxes due and payable, accrue a reserve in the books and records and financial statements of any such entity for all Taxes payable but not yet due, and promptly notify the other of any actions pending against or with respect to it or any of its subsidiaries in respect of any Tax. After the Closing, each party to this Agreement

shall cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, with each other’s agents, including accountants and legal counsel, in connection with Tax matters relating to the Company, Parent, and any of their Subsidiaries, including the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns, examination of Tax Returns, and any administrative or judicial proceedings in respect of Taxes assessed or proposed to be assessed. The parties hereto intend that the Mergers, taken together, be treated as a transaction qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code. From and after the date of this Agreement, each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mergers to qualify as part of a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, and will not knowingly take any action, cause any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken which action or failure to act could prevent the Mergers from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code. The Company and Parent shall cooperate and provide any certifications or representations reasonably required by counsel for the Company and counsel for Parent in providing the opinions described in Section 6.2(e) and Section 6.3(e) hereof, including executing and delivering to each such counsel certificates substantially in the forms set forth on Section 6.2(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter and Section 6.3(e) of the Parent Disclosure Letter at such time or times as reasonably requested by each such counsel. Following the Effective Time, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries knowingly shall take any action, cause any action to be taken, fail to take any action, or cause any action to fail to be taken, which action or failure to act could prevent the Mergers, taken together, from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.

Section 5.17 Transaction Litigation. The Company shall provide Parent with the opportunity to participate in the Company’s defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors or executive officers relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Mergers. The Company agrees that it shall not settle or offer to settle any litigation commenced prior to or after the date of this Agreement that contemplates any equitable relief or that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 5.18 Financing.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to provide to the Parent Entities such cooperation reasonably requested by Parent that is reasonable or customary in connection with the Debt Financing (provided that such requested cooperation is consistent with applicable Law and does not materially interfere with the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries), including (i) participation in meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions and sessions with rating agencies as reasonably requested by Parent and otherwise reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of Parent Entities and the Parent Financing Sources for the Debt Financing; (ii) providing all reasonably requested assistance with the preparation of customary materials for rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that any such memoranda or prospectuses may, at the election of the Parent Entities, contain disclosure and financial statements with respect to the Company or the Final Surviving Entity reflecting the Final

Surviving Entity and/or its Subsidiaries as the obligor; (iii) promptly furnishing Parent and the Parent Financing Sources with customary financial and other information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries including non-public and pro forma financial information and projections as may be reasonably requested by Parent for Parent Financing Source diligence or to prepare any offering memorandum, confidential information statement, lender presentation and other materials contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment; (iv) using reasonable best efforts to obtain customary accountants’ comfort letters (including providing any necessary management representation letters), legal opinions, appraisals, surveys, title insurance, landlord waivers and estoppels, non-disturbance agreements, non-invasive environmental assessments and other documentation and items relating to the Debt Financing as reasonably requested by Parent and, if requested by any of the Parent Entities, to cooperate with and assist such Parent Entity in obtaining such documentation and items; (v) reasonable or customary participation by appropriate senior management of the Company in the negotiation and preparation of the documentation relating to the Debt Financing, provided that any such documents executed and delivered by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subject (or not delivered prior) to the occurrence of the Effective Time; (vi) using reasonable best efforts to take such actions that are reasonably necessary to (A) permit the prospective lenders involved in the Debt Financing to perform customary due diligence of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (B) establish bank and other accounts and blocked account agreements and lock box arrangements in connection with the foregoing provided that any such accounts and arrangements shall be effective no earlier than the Closing Date; (vii) provide customary payoff letters and Lien releases (subject, in each case, to receipt of funds from Parent sufficient to make such repayments); and (viii) consent to the use of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ logos to the extent customary in connection with marketing the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required, under the provisions of this Section 5.18 or otherwise in connection with the Debt Financing, (i) to provide any cooperation to the extent that it would materially interfere with the business or operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) to enter into any instrument or Contract, or agree to any change or modification to any instrument or Contract or take any action with respect to its existing Indebtedness (other than giving required notices of intent to terminate hedge agreements and repay LIBOR loans), prior to the occurrence of the Effective Time that would be effective if the Effective Time does not occur, (iii) to provide any cooperation, or take any action, that would cause the Company to breach any provision or fail to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or cause any condition to Closing set forth in Article VI to fail to be satisfied, (iv) to cause any of their respective boards of directors (or equivalent bodies) to adopt any resolution, grant any approval or authorization or otherwise take any corporate or similar action in each case for the purpose of approving the Debt Financing or (v) to pay any commitment or other similar fee in respect of the Debt Financing prior to the Effective Time that is not advanced or substantially simultaneously reimbursed by Parent. Parent shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with (A) any action taken by them at the request of any of the Parent Entities pursuant to this Section 5.18 or in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing or (B) any information utilized in connection therewith. Parent shall promptly, upon

request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation of the Company and the Subsidiaries contemplated by this Section 5.18. Nothing contained in this Section or otherwise shall require the Company to be an issuer or guarantor with respect to the Debt Financing prior to the Closing. All material, non-public information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries provided to the Parent Entities or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.18 shall be kept confidential by them in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement except for disclosure to potential lenders and investors and their respective officers, employees, representatives and advisors as required in connection with the Debt Financing subject to customary confidentiality protections.

(c) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to complete the Debt Financing on or before the Closing Date, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Financing Commitment, or on other terms reasonably acceptable to Parent and not in violation of this Section 5.18 and (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to such Debt Financing in such definitive agreements; provided, however, that if the Parent Entities have raised through alternative sources (an “Alternative Financing”) funds sufficient to meet their obligations to pay the Merger Consideration, refinance any outstanding indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries and pay all fees and expenses of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Mergers, the Debt Financing and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement the Parent Entities shall have no obligation to arrange any such Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in such respective Debt Financing Commitment or otherwise so long as (A) Parent shall promptly notify the Company of any such Alternative Financing, and (B) the terms of such Alternative Financing (x) are not materially less favorable to Parent or the Company than the Debt Financing and (y) would not reasonably be expected to cause any delay in the consummation of the Mergers as compared to the Debt Financing (it being understood and agreed that any Alternative Financing shall not include the issuance of Parent Common Stock or Parent options or other rights to acquire Parent Common Stock). In the event any portion of the Debt Financing, or if applicable any Alternative Financing, becomes unavailable, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange to obtain bridge financing, alternative debt financing or equity financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to meet the Parent Entities’ obligations to pay the Merger Consideration, refinance any outstanding indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries and pay all fees and expenses of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Mergers, the Debt Financing and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood and agreed that reasonable best efforts of Parent contemplated by this Section 5.18(c) shall be deemed to require Parent to bring enforcement actions to cause the applicable lenders to provide the Debt Financing or Alternative Financing, as applicable.

Except as provided elsewhere in this Section 5.18, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit any Parent Entity from entering into agreements relating to the Debt Financing or the operation of any Parent Entity or, as of the Effective Time, the Final Surviving Entity, including adding equity providers or operating partners (so long as any such agreements or entering into such agreements would not reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay the Closing

(including with respect to approvals required in connection therewith under any applicable Gaming Laws)).

(d) Without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld, no Parent Entity shall permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or replace, the Debt Financing Commitment if such amendment, modification, waiver or replacement would reasonably be expected to (i) delay or prevent the Closing, (ii) modify the conditions contained in the Debt Financing Commitment (the “Debt Financing Conditions”) or create any new condition to the Debt Financing or the Alternative Financing, as applicable, (other than the Debt Financing Conditions as in effect on the date hereof), (iii) reduce the net cash proceeds of the Debt Financing, including any reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing, (iv) change the date for termination and/or expiration of the Debt Financing Commitment to an earlier date or (v) adversely impact the ability of any Parent Entity to enforce its rights against other parties to the Debt Financing Commitment prior to the Closing. Without the prior written consent of the Company, no Parent Entity shall permit any assignment of rights or obligations under the Debt Financing Commitment, provided that the Lender may syndicate the Debt Financing so long as the Lender retains and remains obligated to fund its commitment under the Debt Financing until the Debt Financing is fully funded by the designated assignees and the syndicated sources of funding for the Debt Financing. Parent shall promptly provide the Company written notice of any amendment or modification relating to the Debt Financing Commitment that does not require consent pursuant to Section 5.18(c).

(e) Parent shall give the Company prompt notice: (i) of the receipt of any written notice from the Lender or any other source of Debt Financing with respect to any termination or repudiation of the Debt Financing Commitment by the Lender or any such source of Debt Financing or (ii) if for any reason any portion of the Debt Financing actually becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitment; provided, that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to disclose any information pursuant to this sentence to the extent that (x) such information is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege (but only if such privilege is asserted in good faith) or (y) the disclosure of which would be prohibited or restricted by applicable Law.
