ARTICLE I.
PURCHASE AND SALE OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS; CUSTOMER INFORMATION; FURTHER ACTIONS

Section 1.01 Joinder. Sellers will, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Sellers to, execute and deliver the Joinder to Purchaser to become a party to this Agreement at or prior to Closing. Sellers shall not be a “party” or “parties” to this Agreement and shall make no representations or warranties hereunder and shall have no rights or obligations hereunder until the Joinder is executed by Sellers and delivered to Purchaser.

Section 1.02 Purchase and Sale of Membership Interests. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Sellers shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase and accept from Sellers, the Membership Interests, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions arising under applicable securities Laws or Gaming Laws).

Section 1.03 Customer Database and Information.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller will, to the extent practicable, (i) remove from its enterprise-wide customer database the Casino Database Records of customers referenced in Seller’s enterprise-wide database records as of ten (10) calendar days prior to the Closing Date as only having visited one or more of the Casinos (“Divestiture Only Customers”), (ii) remove from each Property Database records of customers who have no transaction history at any of the Casinos as of ten (10) calendar days prior to the Closing Date (“Non-Casino Customers”) and (iii) transfer any Casino Database Records located on Seller’s enterprise-wide database and not on a Property Database to the appropriate Property Database.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, for Shared Customers (to the extent practicable):

(i) Seller and its Affiliates may retain and use the Retained Database Records of the Shared Customers, but not the Casino Database Records of the Shared Customers (other than the Casino Database Records described in items (a), (d) and (e) of the definition of Casino Database Records (the “Permitted Casino Records”)) and, prior to the Closing, Seller shall remove from such records the Casino Database Records (other than the Permitted Casino Records) with respect to the Shared Customers (it being understood that such information shall be removed with respect to each applicable Casino). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Parent or its Affiliates from retaining and using any information, including, the Retained Database Records, with respect to any Non-Casino Customer; and

(ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates may retain and use the Casino Database Records of the Shared Customers, but not the Retained Database Records of the Shared Customers (other than the Retained Database Records described in items (a), (d) and (e) of the definition of Retained Database Records (the “Permitted Retained Records”)) and, prior to the Closing, Seller shall remove from each Property Database the Retained Database Records (other than the Permitted Retained Records) with respect to the Shared Customers. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Purchaser or its Affiliates from retaining and using any information, including, the Casino Database Records, with respect to any Divestiture Only Customer.

(c) Seller shall not provide Parent or its Affiliates with a copy of the records contained in the customer databases that Seller maintains at a Casino specific to such Casino (each such database, a “Property Database”); provided, that, prior to the Closing, Seller shall remove all, and only the, Retained Database Records (other than the Permitted Retained Records) from each such Property Database.

(d) At the Closing, Seller shall transfer and deliver, or cause to be transferred and delivered, to the extent practicable, (i) to Purchaser the Casino Database Records of Divestiture Only Customers and Shared Customers and (ii) to Parent by operation of the Merger the Retained Database Records of all customers (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Casino Database Records of Divestiture Only Customers and Shared Customers) to Parent.

(e) From and after the Closing:

(i) (x) Parent and its Affiliates may not use the Casino Database Records (other than the Permitted Casino Records) and (y) Purchaser and its Affiliates may not use any Retained Database Records (other than the Permitted Retained Records).

(ii) In the event that any party becomes aware that it or the other party possesses any Casino Database Records other than Permitted Casino Records (in the case of Parent) or Retained Database Records other than Permitted Retained Records (in the case of Xxxx) or any other information in contravention of this Section 1.03, then the party possessing such information shall (x) safeguard and not use such information for any purpose or in any manner, (y) treat such information as Confidential Information in accordance with Section 9.08, and (z) promptly notify the other party thereof, transfer

such information to the other party and remove such information from such party’s systems and databases.

(f) The foregoing notwithstanding, (i) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall either provide or make available to Parent and its Affiliates any information contained in the Casino Database Records and (ii) Parent shall either provide or make available to Xxxx and its Affiliates any information contained in the Retained Database Records, in the case of (i) and (ii), to the extent that such information is necessary to ensure compliance with Law or other legal obligations or to defend or prosecute actual or potential litigation. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not be required to take any actions pursuant to this Section 1.03 that are inconsistent with its obligations under any Orders binding on Seller and/or its Subsidiaries under applicable Law.

Section 1.04 Later Identified Assets and Liabilities. If, after the Closing, either Xxxx or Parent in good faith identifies any asset of Parent or its Subsidiaries that was primarily used in the Business prior to the Closing (other than leasehold interests in real property under the Purchaser Master Lease, the Seller Master Lease and services that may be provided under the Transition Services Agreement) and that was not held by any of the Companies when the Membership Interests were transferred at Closing (any such asset, a “Later Identified Asset”), then either Xxxx or Parent, as applicable, will provide written notice to the other party identifying such Later Identified Asset and Parent will, as promptly as practicable thereafter, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Purchaser (or cause to be transferred, conveyed, assigned, or delivered to Purchaser) all right, title and interest of Parent and its Subsidiaries in and to such Later Identified Asset, and such Later Identified Assets will be deemed to have been assets of the Companies for purposes of this Agreement and any applicable Ancillary Agreement, effective as of the date of transfer, conveyance, assignment, or delivery. If, after the Closing, either Xxxx or Parent in good faith identifies any Liability of Parent or its Subsidiaries (other than Retained Liabilities) relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Business or the operation of the Companies (including Liabilities of the Companies under any leases, Liabilities of the Companies arising out of or relating to any litigation or other third party actions relating to the Business or the operation of the Companies, environmental Liabilities or obligations of the Companies, any Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the Contracts, agreements, real property, information technology, Permits and licenses of Seller relating to the Business operation of the Companies, and any Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the gaming equipment and inventory included in the Purchased Assets, but excluding all Liabilities of Parent or its Subsidiaries under the Seller Master Lease), whether such Liability arose pre- or post-Closing, that was not assumed by any of the Companies when the Membership Interests were transferred at Closing (any such asset, a “Later Identified Liability”), then either Xxxx or Parent, as applicable, will provide written notice to the other party identifying such Later Identified Liability and Parent will, as promptly as practicable thereafter, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Xxxx or its designated Affiliate (or cause to be transferred, conveyed, assigned, or delivered to Xxxx or its designated Affiliate), and Xxxx shall, or shall cause its designated Affiliate to, assume and accept, all such Later Identified Liabilities, and all such Later Identified Liabilities will be deemed to have been liabilities of the Companies for purposes of this Agreement and any applicable Ancillary Agreement, effective as of the date of transfer, conveyance, assignment or delivery.

ARTICLE II.
PURCHASE PRICE

Section 2.01 Purchase Price.

(a) At the Closing, as consideration for the Membership Interests and for Parent’s other obligations hereunder, Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Payment Recipient by electronic transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Payment Recipient a cash payment equal to the sum of (a) $573,834,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”), plus (b) the EBITDA Adjustment as determined in accordance with Section 2.01(b), plus (c) Cage Cash plus (d) the Estimated Adjustment (which may be a positive or negative number) (such sum, the “Closing Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if pursuant to the proviso of Section 10.01(b) or Section 10.02(c) Purchaser shall not be obligated to acquire any Excluded Company at the Closing, then (i) the Base Purchase Price will be reduced by the applicable Company Purchase Price Allocation for such Excluded Company, (ii) the EBITDA Adjustment will be reduced or increased, as applicable, to reflect the removal of the 2017 Company EBITDA for such Excluded Company from the calculation of 2017 EBITDA and (iii) the calculation of the Estimated Adjustment (and the related components thereof) and the adjustment calculation and mechanisms described in Article III, and the Cash Count and the determination of Cage Cash pursuant to Section 3.02, will, in each case, be deemed to be modified to exclude such Excluded Company (including, without limitation, its Cash, Indebtedness and Net Working Capital) from such calculations, determination and adjustments.

(b) EBITDA Adjustment.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than February 28, 2018), (A) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller to prepare and deliver to Purchaser and Parent copies of Seller’s management account details containing the unaudited balance sheet of each Company and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2017 and the related statement of income for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2017, prepared on a consistent basis with the Company Financial Statements (the “2017 Company Financial Statements”) and (B) as promptly as practicable following receipt of the 2017 Company Financial Statements (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following Parent’s receipt of the 2017 Company Financial Statements), Parent shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a written statement (the “2017 EBITDA Statement”) of 2017 EBITDA and 2017 Company EBITDA for each Company, including reasonably detailed calculations of the various amounts of the components of 2017 EBITDA and the 2017 Company EBITDA of each Company. The 2017 EBITDA Statement shall be prepared in good faith in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and otherwise consistent with the Company Financial Statements.

(ii) From and after the delivery of the 2017 Company Financial Statements until the EBITDA Determination Date, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller to (A) reasonably cooperate and assist Purchaser and its Representatives in Purchaser’s review of the 2017 Company Financial Statements, (B) permit Purchaser and its Representatives to review the books, records and work papers of the Companies and of Seller and its Affiliates relating to the 2017 Company Financial Statements, and

(C) make available to Purchaser the relevant personnel and Representatives responsible for preparing the 2017 Company Financial Statements and to discuss the 2017 Company Financial Statements with Purchaser and its Representatives; provided, that the accountants of Seller and its Affiliates shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to Purchaser except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after Parent has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants. From and after the delivery of the 2017 EBITDA Statement until the EBITDA Determination Date, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) reasonably cooperate and assist Purchaser and its Representatives in Purchaser’s review of the 2017 EBITDA Statement, (B) permit or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller to permit Purchaser and its Representatives to review the books, records and work papers of the Companies and of Seller and its Affiliates relating to the 0000 XXXXXX Xxxxxxxxx, and (C) make available to Purchaser the relevant personnel and Representatives responsible for preparing the 2017 EBITDA Statement and to discuss the 2017 EBITDA Statement with Purchaser and its Representatives; provided, that the accountants of Parent and its Affiliates shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to Purchaser except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after Parent has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

(iii) If Purchaser disagrees in whole or in part with the items used in or the calculation of 2017 EBITDA or the items used in or any calculation of 2017 Company EBITDA, Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the 2017 EBITDA Statement, notify Parent of such disagreement in writing (“EBITDA Dispute Notice”), setting forth in detail the particulars of such disagreement. Any items or amounts on the 2017 EBITDA Statement not disputed in writing by Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of the 2017 EBITDA Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement. If the EBITDA Dispute Notice is timely provided, Purchaser and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to, in good faith, attempt to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculation of any amounts set forth in the EBITDA Dispute Notice. If the parties resolve their differences over any disagreed item or amount, then the 2017 Company EBITDA of each Company shall be the amounts agreed by them in writing. If, at the end of such ten (10) Business Day period (or such longer period as the parties may have mutually agreed), the parties are unable to fully resolve the disagreements in respect of any disagreed items or amounts, the parties shall mutually agree to refer the matter to KPMG LLP or PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (such Person, the “Auditor”) to resolve any remaining disagreements. The Auditor shall be instructed to (i) consider only such matters as to which there is a disagreement, (ii) determine, as promptly as practicable, whether the disputed items or amounts set forth in the 2017 EBITDA Statement were prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement, and (iii) deliver, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days of the end of such ten (10) Business Day period (or such longer period as the parties may have mutually agreed), to Parent and Purchaser its determination in writing.

(iv) The resolution for each disputed item or amount contained in the Auditor’s determination shall be made subject to the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, with respect to each disputed matter, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Purchaser or Parent, shall not be in excess of the higher, or less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Purchaser in the EBITDA Dispute Notice or by Parent in the 2017 EBITDA Statement with respect to such disputed matter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Auditor shall not review or make any determination with respect to any matter other than the matters that remain in dispute as indicated in an EBITDA Dispute Notice. Purchaser and Parent shall bear their own expenses in the preparation and review of the 2017 EBITDA Statement (and Parent shall bear such costs of Seller), except that the fees and expenses of the Auditor shall be borne equally by Parent and Purchaser. During the review by the Auditor, each of Purchaser and Parent shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates and its and their respective employees, accountants and other Representatives to, each make available to the Auditor interviews with such personnel, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably requested by the Auditor to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.01(b)(iv); provided, that the accountants of Parent or Seller shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Auditor except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Auditor has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers. The determination of the Auditor shall be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement and not subject to any further recourse by Purchaser, Parent, Seller or their respective Affiliates, absent manifest error or fraud by Purchaser, Parent, Seller or the Auditor. The date on which all items and amounts set forth on the 2017 EBITDA Statement are finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.01(b)(iv) is hereinafter referred to as the “EBITDA Determination Date.”

(v) In the event the Auditor refuses engagement under this Section 2.01(b), Purchaser and Parent shall mutually agree on another nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants (an “Alternate Accounting Firm”) having no material relationship with the Companies, Purchaser, Parent or their respective Affiliates to resolve any disputes regarding the 2017 EBITDA Statement according to Section 2.01(b)(iv). If within thirty (30) days, Purchaser and Parent fail to mutually agree on an Alternate Accounting Firm, then, within an additional ten (10) days, Purchaser and Parent shall each select one such firm and those two firms shall, within ten (10) Business Days after their selection, select a third (3rd) such firm who will act as the Alternate Accounting Firm. The firm selected in accordance with this Section 2.01(b)(v) shall be the “Auditor” for the purposes of this Section 2.01(b).

(vi) The “EBITDA Adjustment” shall be the amount (whether positive or negative) equal to 6.25 multiplied by 2017 EBITDA (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.01(b)) minus the Base Purchase Price.

(vii) The process set forth in this Section 2.01(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any of the parties and their respective Affiliates for any disputes related to the 2017 EBITDA Statement, the 2017 Company EBITDA of each Company and the calculations and amounts on which they are based or set forth in the related statements

and notices delivered in connection therewith, whether or not the underlying facts and circumstances constitute a breach of any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement.

Section 2.02 Tax Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement to the Payment Recipient such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld under the Code, or any provision of applicable Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Payment Recipient.

Section 2.03 Allocation. Promptly after the Closing, but in any event within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing, Purchaser shall provide Parent with a schedule allocating the aggregate consideration paid pursuant to this Agreement, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (and all other items that are treated as additional consideration for Tax purposes) among the assets of the acquired Companies (“Purchaser’s Allocation”). Purchaser’s Allocation shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code (and, to the extent applicable, Section 338 of the Code) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. If Parent disagrees with Purchaser’s Allocation, Parent may, within thirty (30) days of Parent’s receipt of Purchaser’s Allocation, deliver to Xxxx a notice in writing (“Parent’s Allocation Notice”), noting with specificity any allocations with which Parent disagrees. If Parent’s Allocation Notice is delivered, Purchaser and Parent shall negotiate in good faith for a period of fifteen (15) days to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Purchaser’s Allocation. In the event the parties cannot reach an agreement within such fifteen (15) day period, the dispute shall be resolved by the Auditor in accordance with Section 3.03(c) and (d), applied mutatis mutandis to the dispute arising under this Section 2.03. The allocation, as prepared by Purchaser if no Parent’s Allocation Notice has been given, as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between Purchaser and Parent, or as determined by the Auditor (the “Allocation”), shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Allocation shall be amended to reflect any adjustments (including those described in Section 3.03) to the aggregate consideration made pursuant to this Agreement in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth above. Xxxx, Purchaser, Seller, and Parent and their respective Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns (including any IRS Form 8594) consistent with the Allocation, and shall take no position contrary thereto or inconsistent therewith (including in any audits or examinations by any Tax Authority or any other Proceeding), unless otherwise required by applicable Law or unless the other parties consents thereto in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Purchaser (or its Affiliates) or Seller or Parent (or their Affiliates) from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax Authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation, and neither Purchaser (or its Affiliates) nor Seller or Parent (or their Affiliates) shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Tax Authority challenging such Allocation. Purchaser and Parent shall cooperate (and Parent shall cause Seller to cooperate) in the filing of any forms (including any IRS Form 8594 or IRS Form 8883, as applicable) with respect to such Allocation, including any amendments to such forms required pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any adjustment to the aggregate consideration made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

The foregoing notwithstanding, Parent shall have no obligation to adjust the Estimated Closing Statement as a result of such discussions; provided, further, that even if the parties do not mutually agree upon the calculations to be included in the Estimated Closing Statement, the last Estimated Closing Statement delivered by Seller to Purchaser shall be used at Closing as the basis for determining the Estimated Adjustment.

The Cash Count shall be conducted in accordance with the policies, procedures

and methodologies mutually agreed to by the parties. Each of Purchaser, Parent and Seller shall be entitled to have Representatives present during the Cash Count, which Representatives shall have full access to the Cash Count proceedings and cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputes regarding the conduct of the Cash Count.

Section 3.03 Final Adjustments.

(a) Not more than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Parent a written statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) of (i) the Final Closing Net Working Capital, including the resulting Final Closing Net Working Capital Overage (if any) or Final Closing Net Working Capital Shortage (if any), (ii) the Final Closing Indebtedness, (iii) the Final Transaction Expenses and (iv) the Final Closing Cash, and including a reasonably detailed calculation of the various amounts of each component of Final Closing Net Working Capital, including the resulting Final Closing Net Working Capital Overage (if any) or Final Closing Net Working Capital Shortage (if any), the Final Closing Indebtedness, the Final Transaction Expenses and the Final Closing Cash. The Final Closing Statement shall be prepared in good faith in accordance with GAAP and on a basis consistent with the calculation of Net Working Capital set forth in Exhibit B. Calculations, estimates, amounts and other information used by Purchaser to prepare the Final Closing Statement shall not reflect or take into account developments between the Closing Date and the date of preparation or completion of the Final Closing Statement except for any conditions that existed prior to the Closing Date. Any such amounts determined to be payable pursuant to the Final Closing Statement shall be paid to either the Payment Recipient (in the case of an increase to the Closing Payment) or Purchaser (in the case of a decrease to the Closing Payment) pursuant to Section 3.03(e) (the “Final Adjustment”). The Closing Payment, as adjusted by the Final Adjustment, is referred to as the “Final Purchase Price”. From and after the delivery of the Final Closing Statement and until the Determination Date: (x) Parent and its representatives will be permitted to review the books, records and work papers of the Companies and of Purchaser and its Affiliates relating to the Final Closing Statement; and (y) Xxxx will, and will cause the Companies and their respective accountants to, cooperate with and assist Parent in the conduct of such review, including by providing reasonable access to such books, records and work papers and making available personnel to the extent reasonably required; provided, that the accountants of the Companies and of Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to Parent except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after Parent has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants.

(b) If Parent disagrees in whole or in part with the calculation of any amounts on the Final Closing Statement, Parent shall, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Final Closing Statement, notify Purchaser of such disagreement in writing (“Dispute Notice”), setting forth in detail the particulars of such disagreement. Any items or amounts on the Final Closing Statement not disputed in writing by Parent within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Final Closing Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement. If the

Dispute Notice is timely provided, Purchaser and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to, in good faith, attempt to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculation of any amounts set forth in the Dispute Notice. If the parties resolve their differences over any disagreed item or amount, then Final Net Working Capital, Final Closing Indebtedness, Final Transaction Expenses and/or Final Closing Cash (as the case may be) shall be the amounts agreed by them in writing. If, at the end of such ten (10) Business Day period (or such longer period as the parties may have mutually agreed), the parties are unable to fully resolve the disagreements in respect of any disagreed items or amounts, the parties shall refer the matter to the Auditor to resolve any remaining disagreements. The Auditor shall be instructed to (i) consider only such matters as to which there is a disagreement, (ii) determine, as promptly as practicable, whether the disputed amounts set forth in the Final Closing Statement were prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement, and (iii) deliver, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days of the end of such ten (10) Business Day period (or such longer period as the parties may have mutually agreed), to Parent and Purchaser its determination in writing.

(c) The resolution for each disputed item or amount contained in the Auditor’s determination shall be made subject to the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, with respect to each disputed matter, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Purchaser and Parent, shall not be in excess of the higher, or less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Parent in the Dispute Notice or by Purchaser in the Final Closing Statement with respect to such disputed matter. For the avoidance of doubt, the Auditor shall not review or make any determination with respect to any matter other than the matters that remain in dispute as indicated in a Dispute Notice. Parent and Purchaser shall bear their own expenses in the preparation and review of the Estimated Closing Statement and Final Closing Statement, except that the fees and expenses of the Auditor shall be borne equally by Parent and Purchaser. During the review by the Auditor, each of Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates (including, in the case of Purchaser, the Companies) and its and their respective employees, accountants and other Representatives to, each make available to the Auditor interviews with such personnel, and such information, books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably requested by the Auditor to fulfill its obligations under this Section 3.03(c); provided, that the accountants of Parent or Purchaser shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Auditor except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such Auditor has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers. The determination of the Auditor shall be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement and not subject to any further recourse by Purchaser, Parent or their respective Affiliates, absent manifest error or fraud by Purchaser, Parent, Seller or the Auditor. The date on which all items and amounts set forth on the Final Closing Statement are finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.03 is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(d) In the event the Auditor refuses engagement under this Section 3.03, Purchaser and Parent shall mutually agree on an Alternate Accounting Firm having no material relationship with the Companies, Purchaser, Parent or their respective Affiliates to resolve any disputes regarding the Final Closing Statement according to Section 3.03(c). If within thirty (30) days, Purchaser and Parent fail to mutually agree on an Alternate Accounting Firm, then, within an

additional ten (10) days, Parent and Purchaser shall each select one such firm and those two firms shall, within ten (10) Business Days after their selection, select a third (3rd) such firm who will act as the Alternate Accounting Firm. The firm selected in accordance with this Section 3.03(d) shall be the “Auditor” for the purposes of this Section 3.03.

(e) If the Final Adjustment is less than the Estimated Adjustment, then within two (2) Business Days after the Determination Date, Parent shall pay Purchaser an amount equal to such shortfall by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser. If the Final Adjustment is greater than the Estimated Adjustment, then within two (2) Business Days after the Determination Date, Purchaser shall pay Parent an amount equal to such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent. If there is no difference between the Final Adjustment and Estimated Adjustment, then there will be no adjustment to the Closing Payment pursuant to this Section 3.03.

(f) The process set forth in this Section 3.03 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any of the parties and their respective Affiliates for any disputes related to the Final Closing Statement, the Final Adjustment and the calculations and amounts on which they are based or set forth in the related statements and notices delivered in connection therewith, whether or not the underlying facts and circumstances constitute a breach of any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement.

Section 3.04 Accounts Receivable; Accounts Payable; Deposits.

(a) Accounts Receivable. After the Closing, Parent shall promptly deliver to Purchaser any cash, checks or other property that it or any of its Affiliates receive to the extent relating to the Accounts Receivable of the Business and not included in the Final Closing Statement.

Should either party discover it has paid an accounts payable belonging to the other party that is not included in the Final Closing Statement, then Purchaser or Parent, as applicable, shall provide written notice of such payment to the other party and the other party shall promptly reimburse the party that paid such accounts payable all amounts listed on such notice.

Purchaser shall cause each Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents to be covered, effective at the Closing, by a group health plan or plans maintained by Purchaser and its Affiliates that (i) comply with the provisions of Section 9.02(b), (ii) do not limit or exclude coverage on the basis of any preexisting condition of such Continuing Employee or dependent (other than any limitation already in effect under the applicable group health Employee Benefit Plan) or on the basis of any other exclusion or waiting period not in effect under the applicable group health Employee Benefit Plan, and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Continuing Employee credit under Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate’s group health plans as if the following amounts had been paid thereunder, for the year in which the Closing Date occurs, for any deductible or co-payment already incurred by the applicable Continuing Employee under the applicable group health Employee Benefit Plan and for any other out-of-pocket expenses that count against any maximum out-of-pocket expense provision of the applicable group health Employee Benefit Plan or Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate’s group health plans.

(e) Accrued Vacation, Sick Leave and Paid Time-Off. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall recognize all Liabilities with respect to accrued but unused vacation time for all Property Employees (including any Liabilities to Property Employees for payments in respect of earned but unused vacation time that arise as a result of the transfer of employment contemplated by Section 9.02(a)). Purchaser shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date of the applicable payment) reimburse Seller for any payments made by Seller or its Affiliates to any Property Employee in respect of earned but unused vacation time that become due as a result of the transfer of employment contemplated by Section 9.02(a). Purchaser shall allow Continuing Employees to use the vacation, sick leave and personal time assumed and recognized pursuant to this Section 9.02(e) in accordance with the terms of Purchaser’s and its applicable Affiliates’ programs in effect from time to time (in addition to, and not in lieu of, any vacation accrued under the applicable vacation plans or policies of Purchaser or its Affiliates on or following the Closing).

(f) 401(k) Plan. Effective at the Closing, Purchaser shall establish participation by the Continuing Employees in Purchaser’s tax-qualified defined contribution plan or plans with a cash or deferred feature (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of each Continuing Employee who, as of immediately prior to the Closing, was eligible to participate in a tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Seller or its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Seller 401(k) Plans”). As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the Seller 401(k) Plans shall, to the extent permitted by Section 401(k)(10) of the Code, make distributions available to Continuing Employees, and the Purchaser 401(k) Plan shall accept any such distribution, including notes, in the case of loans, as a rollover contribution if such rollover is so directed in accordance with applicable law by the applicable Continuing Employee. Seller shall remain responsible for making all required employer contributions to the accounts of Continuing Employees under the Seller 401(k) Plan with respect to all periods prior to the Closing.

(g) Bonuses. On or prior to the Closing, Seller shall pay a pro rata portion of any annual and short-term incentive awards due to Continuing Employees as provided in Section 5.16(c) of the Merger Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume the Liability for the post-Closing portion of any annual or short-term incentive awards due to Continuing Employees for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, which Liability shall be calculated on the same basis used to determine the pre-Closing amounts paid by Seller. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.02(b), following the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Continuing Employees to participate in annual or short-term incentive plans of Purchaser and its Affiliates for the remainder of any applicable performance period that is incomplete as of the Closing Date, which plans shall provide for cash incentive compensation opportunities, performance standards and continuation of employment requirements that are no less favorable than those contained in the annual or short-term incentive plans of Seller with respect to performance periods that are incomplete as of the Closing Date, such that if the Continuing Employees were to continue to participate in Seller’s annual or short term incentive plans applicable to them, such Continuing Employees would have received no less favorable payments. Following the end of the applicable performance period, Purchaser shall pay each such Continuing Employee a bonus in respect of the portion of such performance period following the Closing that is no less than the accrual for such Continuing Employee assumed by Purchaser pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(h) Company Benefit Plans. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume all Company Benefit Plans, and become solely responsible for all Liabilities thereunder. On and following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall honor all Company Benefit Plans in accordance with their respective terms.

(i) Assumed Employee Liabilities. Except as set forth in Section 9.02(k), effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume all Liabilities in respect of (i) any Property Employees and (ii) any former employees of Seller or its Affiliates who primarily provided services to the Business, in each case, regardless of whether such Liabilities relate to, arise out of or result from, such individual’s employment prior to, on or after the Closing, but only to the extent arising out of or related to such individual’s employment with the Business (collectively, “Assumed Employee Liabilities”).

(j) Employee Termination Rights. Subject to Section 9.02(i), from and after the Closing, Purchaser or any of the Companies may terminate the employment of any Property Employee in accordance with its customary employment practices, including following unsatisfactory results of any background check, which Purchaser may undertake in its discretion.

(k) Allocation of Welfare Benefit Claims. Seller shall retain the Liability and responsibility with respect to claims incurred by Continuing Employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) prior to the Closing under the Employee Benefit Plans (other than any Company Benefit Plans) that provide medical, dental, vision, employee assistance program and prescription drug coverage, life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance and disability coverage. Purchaser shall retain (and assume, if necessary) Liability and responsibility for claims incurred by Continuing Employees (and their dependents and beneficiaries) on or following the Closing under any Purchaser employee benefit plans that provide medical, dental, vision, employee assistance program and prescription drug coverage, life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance and disability coverage. For purposes of this Section 9.02(k), a benefit claim shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) health, dental, vision, employee assistance program and prescription drug benefits (including in respect of any hospital confinement), upon provision of such services, materials or supplies; and (ii) life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance and disability benefits, upon the death, cessation of employment or other event giving rise to such benefits.

(l) Certain Seller Employees. Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser will, or will cause one of its Subsidiaries to, make written employment offers to any Property Employees who are not employed by a Company or its Subsidiaries after giving effect to Seller’s actions described in Section 9.02(a) as identified by Seller no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “Identified Employees”). Such offers will contain terms of at-will employment with respect to (i) a base salary or hourly wage rate, as applicable, cash incentive compensation opportunities and target annual equity incentive compensation opportunities that are, in each case, no less favorable than those provided to such Identified Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) other compensation and employee and fringe benefits (including health, welfare and retirement benefits, but excluding severance benefits) that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those provided to such Identified Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date, (iii) severance entitlements that are no less favorable than what is provided in the Seller’s Change of Control Severance Plan or contained in such Identified Employee’s employment agreement, as applicable, and (iv) other material terms of employment that are, in each case, no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date. Parent and Seller shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to help facilitate such Identified Employees to become employees of Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the employment offers as of the Closing (but, in each case, shall not be required to pay any additional consideration to Identified Employees). Without limiting Section 9.02(i), if any Identified Employee does not for any reason accept employment with Purchaser or its Affiliates at or after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reimburse and otherwise indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates for any severance payments or benefits payable to such Identified Employee, and all such payments and benefits shall constitute Assumed Employee Liabilities.

(m) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No provision of this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Property Employee, any Continuing Employee or any beneficiary or eligible family member thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Property Employee by Purchaser or under any benefit plan which Purchaser may maintain. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Employee Benefit Plan, any Purchaser Benefit Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent, Seller, Purchaser, the Companies or any Subsidiary of a Company or any of their respective Affiliates; or (ii) confer upon any Property Employee or any Continuing Employee any right to employment or continued employment or continued service with Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing Date, the Companies or any Subsidiary of a Company), or constitute or create an employment or other agreement with any Property Employee or any Continuing Employee. No provision of this Agreement will be deemed to change the “at will” status of any Continuing Employee.

Section 9.03 Access to Information and Inspection. For purposes of facilitating the Transaction, at Parent’s reasonable request, Seller shall afford (a) the officers and employees and (b) the accountants, consultants, legal counsel, financial advisors, financing sources and agents and other Representatives of Purchaser such reasonable access during normal business hours, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Closing Date and termination pursuant to Section 11.01, to Seller’s and the Companies’ personnel and properties, contracts, commitments, books and records and any report, schedule or other document filed or received by it pursuant to the requirements of applicable Laws and with such additional accounting, operating, environmental and other data and information regarding the Companies, to the extent in the possession of the Companies or their Subsidiaries, as Xxxx or Purchaser may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide access to or make available to any person any document or information that, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, (i) violates any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality, (ii) is subject to any attorney-client, work-product or other legal privilege, or (iii) the disclosure of which would violate any Law or legal duty (provided that Seller will use reasonable efforts to allow such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in loss or waiver of such privilege, including, but not limited to, entering into appropriate common interest or similar agreements); provided, further, that nothing herein shall authorize Xxxx, Purchaser or their Representatives to undertake any environmental testing or sampling at any of the properties owned, operated or leased by Seller or its Subsidiaries. Each of Xxxx and Purchaser agrees that it will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 9.03 for any competitive or other purpose unrelated to the consummation of the Transaction. Each of Xxxx and Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption to the businesses of Seller that may result from requests for access. Prior to the delivery of the Joinder, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts, including enforcing Seller’s obligations under the Merger Agreement to the extent necessary, to cause Seller to comply with its obligations in this Section 9.03.

Section 9.04 Governmental Approvals.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties shall cooperate with the other parties and use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper

or advisable to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 10.01 to be satisfied as promptly as practicable, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents under applicable Antitrust Laws and (ii) obtain all approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Entity necessary under the FTC Order and required under applicable Antitrust Laws to consummate the Transaction (an “Antitrust Approval”).

(b) Purchaser understands that Purchaser, and this Agreement, are subject to the prior approval of the FTC and any other Governmental Authority and that Parent and Seller are entering into this Agreement to obtain FTC approval for the FTC Order and to satisfy the requirements of any other Governmental Entity’s conditional approval in connection with the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Purchaser, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, will (i) prepare and furnish all necessary information and documents reasonably requested by the FTC or any other Governmental Entity, (ii) use reasonable best efforts to demonstrate to the FTC or any other Governmental Entity that Purchaser is an acceptable purchaser of the Purchased Assets and that Purchaser will be able to compete effectively using the Purchased Assets along with its own assets, and (iii) reasonably cooperate with Parent and Seller in obtaining all FTC approvals and any other Antitrust Approval or Gaming Approval. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Parent and Seller from complying with the FTC Order, and Parent and Seller shall not be considered in breach of this Agreement for taking actions required to be taken to comply with the FTC Order. Parent shall control all strategy and communications with the FTC and any other Governmental Entities, and accordingly, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Laws, the FTC or any other Governmental Entities, Purchaser shall not communicate with or make submissions to the FTC or any other Governmental Entities without the simultaneous attendance or prior written consent of Seller, provided however that Parent and Purchaser shall jointly control strategy and communications with the FTC and any other Governmental Entities regarding any review process of the FTC or any other Governmental Entity to determine whether Purchaser is an acceptable purchaser of the Purchased Assets and whether Purchaser will be able to compete effectively using the Purchased Assets, and provided further, that Purchaser shall control the substance of communications insofar as they relate specifically to Purchaser. Parent and Seller shall not, without prior consultation with and approval of Purchaser, have any communication with the FTC or other Governmental Entity, or make any submission to the FTC or any other Governmental Entity, regarding whether Purchaser is an acceptable purchaser of the Purchased Assets or whether Purchaser will be able to compete effectively using the Purchased Assets. Each of the parties shall promptly notify the other parties of any communication it receives from any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement and permit the other parties to review in advance any proposed communication by or on its behalf or any of its Affiliates to any Governmental Entity, unless the staff of such Governmental Entity requires otherwise.

(c) Each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Entity in connection with the Transaction under Antitrust Laws or Gaming Laws and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Entity relating to Antitrust Laws or Gaming Laws and (ii) keep the other parties informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by such party from, or given by

such party to, the FTC or any other Governmental Entity. Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information and any applicable joint defense agreement, each of the parties shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, all the information relating to the other parties and their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transaction related to Antitrust Laws or Gaming Laws; provided, that Parent and Seller shall not be entitled to review or have access to Purchaser’s business plan or Purchaser’s other competitively sensitive information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.04, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall be able to consult with the FTC or any other Governmental Entities pursuant to applicable Law or otherwise if the staff of such Governmental Entity requests direct communication with or submissions from Purchaser or any of its Affiliates without prior written consent of, notification to or attendance of Parent or Seller.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of Purchaser contained in this Section 9.04, each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by a Governmental Entity with respect to Antitrust Laws or Gaming Laws in any jurisdiction in which approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations are required under applicable Antitrust Laws or Gaming Laws to consummate the Transaction. Without limiting any other provision hereof, but subject to Section 9.04(e), each of the parties shall take any and all actions necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transaction so as to enable the consummation of the Transaction to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event no later than the End Date).

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, no party, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any obligation or affirmative duty to sell, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any of its assets or properties, agree to do any of the foregoing in the future, or take any such actions in connection with seeking any Antitrust Approval, any Gaming Approval or other approval of any Governmental Entity.

(f) In no event shall Purchaser agree to, propose to or acquire any business or assets (regardless of value) which would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any Antitrust Approval or Gaming Approval, or (ii) prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent and Seller to consummate the Merger.

Section 9.05 Notification of Certain Events. Each of Parent, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly notify the other parties in writing upon obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event that has caused: (a) any representation or warranty of the notifying party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect as of the time made under this Agreement; or (b) any material failure of the notifying party to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case, if such failure to be true or accurate or failure to comply has caused or would reasonably be expected to cause any condition to the obligations of the notified party to effect the Transaction not to be satisfied; provided that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any change or event shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of this Section 9.05, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in

each case unless the underlying change or event would independently (or together with other facts or events known to such party at the time of the underlying change or event) result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 10.01, Section 10.02 or Section 10.03 to be satisfied.

Section 9.06 Publicity. Parent and Purchaser shall agree on the form and content of the initial press release regarding the Transaction and thereafter shall consult with each other before issuing, provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, and negotiate in good faith to agree upon, any press release or other public statement with respect to the Transaction and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and prior to considering in good faith any such comments, except as may be required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchaser and Parent may make any public statement in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analysts conference calls or in connection with a financing, so long as any such statements are consistent with, and do not contain information not disclosed in, previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by Purchaser and Parent or made by one party and reviewed by the other, and do not otherwise reveal non-public information regarding the Merger, the Transaction, the Ancillary Agreements or any of the other parties.

Section 9.07 Tax Matters.

(a) All transfer, recording, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes (including real estate transfer or similar Taxes that arise from any indirect transfer of property as a result of the transfer of the Membership Interests), related fees (including any penalties, interest and additions to Tax) incurred with respect to the purchase and sale of the Membership Interests pursuant to this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) and any fees for applications, consents, approvals, Permits, registrations or filings made or sought pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by Parent. Either Purchaser, on the one hand, or Parent or Seller, on the other hand, as obligated by applicable Law, shall prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes and pay in full all such Transfer Taxes, and the non-filing party shall promptly reimburse the filing party for its share of such Transfer Taxes. Parent and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate (and Parent shall cause Seller to reasonably cooperate) in preparing and filing all Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes, including joining in the execution of such Tax Returns to the extent required by applicable Law.

(b) Purchaser, Seller and Parent agree to furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the other, upon reasonable request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to Taxes, including access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Purchaser, Seller, the Companies, their Subsidiaries, or Parent, the preparation for any audit by any Tax Authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or Proceeding relating to Taxes. Purchaser and Parent shall retain (and Parent shall cause Seller to retain) all books and records with respect to Taxes of the Companies or their Subsidiaries for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date. The parties agree to hold all materials and documents delivered pursuant to this Section 9.07(b), and all confidential information contained therein, confidential pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Parent nor Seller shall be required to

provide Purchaser with a copy of, or otherwise disclose the contents of, any consolidated Tax Return, except to the extent Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Companies and their Subsidiaries following the Closing) receives any notice of inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar proceeding relating to any liability for Taxes of another Person under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) or as a transferee or successor of such other Person and such consolidated Tax Returns (or contents thereof) contain information directly relevant to such notice of inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar proceeding or are otherwise necessary for Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Companies and their Subsidiaries following the Closing) to conduct such proceeding.

(c) Purchaser and Parent agree, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and all other applicable income and franchise tax purposes, to treat (and Parent shall cause Seller to treat) the purchase and sale of all of the Membership Interests of Belterra and Belterra Park as a purchase of the assets of Belterra and Belterra Park, respectively, and Purchaser and Parent shall not take (and Parent shall not cause or permit Seller to take) any actions inconsistent with such treatment, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(d) Parent and such of its Subsidiaries as are necessary, on the one hand, and Purchaser and such of its Subsidiaries as are necessary, on the other hand, shall jointly make an irrevocable election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding elections under state or local Tax Law) (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Elections”) with respect to the sale and purchase of the Membership Interests of Ameristar Kansas City and Ameristar St. Xxxxxxx under this Agreement. Purchaser, Parent, and Seller shall cooperate in the preparation of all forms, attachments, schedules, and documents required to effect valid and timely Section 338(h)(10) Elections in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.338(h)(10)-1 (or any corresponding provisions of state or local Tax Law), including IRS Forms 8023 and 8883 (and any corresponding state or local Tax forms), in each case, in a manner that incorporates, reflects, and is consistent with the Allocation and Section 2.03 (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Forms”). Purchaser, Parent, and Seller shall (or shall cause their relevant Affiliates to) timely file such Section 338(h)(10) Forms with the applicable Taxing Authority. In furtherance of the foregoing, with respect to each Section 338(h)(10) Election, prior to the Closing, Purchaser, Parent, and Seller shall agree, based on information then available, on the form and content of, and at Closing, Parent and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a duly executed, IRS Form 8023 that reflects such Section 338(h)(10) Election (and any analogous forms required to effectuate such Section 338(h)(10) Election for state or local Tax purposes). To the extent permissible by or required by law, Purchaser, Parent, Seller, and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate in the preparation and timely filing of any corrections, amendments, or supplements to any Section 338(h)(10) Form; provided, however, that all such forms and reports shall be prepared in a manner that incorporates, reflects, and is consistent with the Allocation and Section 2.03. Subject to the preceding sentence, none of Purchaser, Parent, or Seller shall, or shall permit their respective Subsidiaries to, modify any of the Section 338(h)(10) Forms (including any corrections, amendments, and supplements thereto) after the execution of such Section 338(h)(10) Forms or to modify or revoke any Section 338(h)(10) Election following the filing of the relevant IRS Form 8023 by Purchaser, in each case, without the written consent of Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, except as may be required pursuant to a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law); provided, however, that IRS Form 8883 may be

filed without the consent of the other party so long as such form is filed in a manner that incorporates, reflects, and is consistent with the Allocation and Section 2.03. Purchaser, Parent, Seller, and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate fully with each other and make available to each other such Tax data or other information as may be reasonably required by the parties in order to timely file any Section 338(h)(10) Elections, including to the extent necessary for the valid filing of any corrections, amendments, or supplements to any Section 338(h)(10)Form. Purchaser, Parent, and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, (x) treat each Section 338(h)(10) Election as valid, and (y) take no position on any Tax Return or any Tax proceeding that is inconsistent with the validity of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections, unless, in each case, to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law).

(e) Any and all Tax sharing, allocation, indemnification or similar agreements binding any Company or any Subsidiary of any Company shall be terminated as to such Company or Subsidiary, as applicable, as of the Closing Date and, from and after the Closing Date, no Company and no Subsidiary of any Company shall be obligated to make any payment to any Person pursuant thereto.

(f) If a party or any of its Affiliates (the “Preparing Party”) is preparing for filing after Closing a Tax Return that could give rise to a Tax payment obligation on the part of the other party or any of its Affiliates (the “Reviewing Party”), the Preparing Party shall deliver to the Reviewing Party a draft of such Tax Return at least thirty (30) days prior to filing thereof (or, if required to be filed within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date or the end of the relevant taxable period, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing or end of such taxable period) and shall permit the Reviewing Party to review and comment on such Tax Return. If the Tax Return relates solely or primarily to Taxes for which the Reviewing Party is liable, the Preparing Party shall make such revisions to such Tax Return as are reasonably requested by the Reviewing Party in writing within twenty (20) days of the Reviewing Party’s receipt of the Tax Return, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable Law. In the case of other Tax Returns, the Preparing Party shall consider in good faith any revisions to such Tax Return as are reasonably requested by the Reviewing Party in writing within twenty (20) days of the Reviewing Party’s receipt of the Tax Return.

(g) Following the Closing, Purchaser, on the one hand, and Parent and Seller, on the other hand, shall promptly notify each other upon receipt of notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes for which such other party may be liable hereunder (any such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Contest”). Any failure to so notify the other party of any Tax Contest shall not relieve such other party of any liability with respect to such Tax Contest except to the extent such party was actually and materially prejudiced as a result thereof.

(h) Each party shall have the right to control (at that party’s own expense) the conduct and resolution of any Tax Contest that relates solely to Taxes for which that party is liable pursuant to this Agreement, provided, that (i) the controlling party shall keep the other party informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax Contest, including providing the other party with all substantive written materials relating to such Tax Contest received from the relevant Tax Authority and all substantive written materials submitted to such

Tax Authority by the controlling party, (ii) the non-controlling party shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest (at its own expense), and (iii) the controlling party shall not resolve such Tax Contest in a manner that would have an adverse impact on the non-controlling party without the non-controlling party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If a party shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest but elects in writing not to do so, then the other party shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest, but shall keep the non-controlling party informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax Contest (including providing copies of all substantive written materials relating to such Tax Contest received from the relevant Tax Authority and all substantive written materials submitted to such Tax Authority), and shall not resolve such Tax Contest without the non-controlling party’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(i) In the event of any Tax Contest not governed by Section 9.07(h), the party receiving notice of the Tax Contest will, as to any Taxes in respect of which the other party or any of its Affiliates may be liable, promptly inform the other party of, and permit the participation of the other party in, the Tax Contest and will not consent to the settlement or final determination in such proceeding without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(j) In the event of any conflict or overlap between the provisions of Section 12.04 and this Section 9.07, the provisions of this Section 9.07 shall control.

(k) No party shall amend, or permit their Affiliates to amend, any Tax Return that could give rise to a Tax payment obligation on the part of the other party or any of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of such other party.

(l) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement potentially to the contrary, in no event shall Xxxx or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Companies and any of their Subsidiaries) have any responsibility to pay directly, or to reimburse or indemnify the Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Seller and its Subsidiaries) for, any federal consolidated or state income Taxes payable by Seller or any Subsidiary owned by Seller immediately prior to the Closing in respect of taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending subsequent to the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date.

Section 9.08 Confidentiality. The Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Closing and shall terminate automatically at the Closing, except as set forth in Section 9.09.

(e) by Parent or Purchaser, upon receipt by Parent of written notice from the staff of the FTC or any other antitrust or gaming Governmental Entity (each, a “Relevant Authority”) that such staff of a Relevant Authority (A) has determined that Purchaser is not an acceptable purchaser of the Purchased Assets or (B) will not recommend this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to the applicable Relevant Authority;

(f) by Parent or Purchaser, if, after accepting an Agreement Containing Consent Order for public comment, the FTC withdraws such acceptance or determines that Purchaser is not an acceptable purchaser of the Purchased Assets and declines to issue a final FTC Order requiring Parent and Seller to divest the Purchased Assets to Purchaser;

(g) by Parent or Purchaser, if Parent or Seller receives a Regulatory Nonsatisfaction Notice;

(h) by Purchaser, if Parent or Seller has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Seller, respectively, set forth in this Agreement which (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.02(a) or Section 10.02(b)

to be satisfied and (ii) in the case of non-willful breaches that are capable of being cured, is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice thereof;

(i) by Parent, if Xxxx or Purchaser has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement which (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.03(a) or Section 10.03(b) to be satisfied hereof and (ii) in the case of non-willful breaches that are capable of being cured, is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice thereof; or

(j) by an Affected Party pursuant to Section 13.11; provided, that an Affected Party’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(j) shall not be available unless such Affected Party has complied with all of its obligations under Section 13.11.

Section 11.02 Effect of Termination.

(a) Liability. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 11.01, this Agreement shall immediately become void, and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Purchaser or Seller, or their respective Affiliates or Representatives, other than pursuant to this Section 11.02; provided that, except as set forth in Section 11.02(d), nothing contained in this Section 11.02 shall relieve or limit the liability of any party for fraud or willful breach of this Agreement, including any breach permitting a party to terminate under Section 11.01(f) or Section 11.01(j).

(b) Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Closing is consummated.

(c) Merger Agreement Termination Fee. If Parent receives any termination fee, liquidated damages or similar fee, or expense reimbursement, in each case to which Parent is or may be entitled under the Merger Agreement (any such fee or expense reimbursement, a “Break Fee”), Parent shall pay to Purchaser promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after receiving any such Break Fee) an amount equal to 20% (the “Purchaser Fee Percentage”) of the aggregate of all such Break Fees (such amount, the “Purchaser Fee”). In no event shall Parent be required to pay to Purchaser any portion of the aggregate Break Fees in excess of the amount of the Purchaser Fee. Upon the payment by Parent to Purchaser of the Purchaser Fee, neither Parent nor any of its respective Affiliates shall have any further liability of any kind, whether at law or in equity, in tort or in contract or otherwise, in connection with the Transaction, this Agreement, the Merger or the Merger Agreement.

(d) Merger Agreement Reverse Termination Fee. If the Merger Agreement is terminated and Parent pays any reverse termination fee, liquidated damages or similar fee, or expense reimbursement to Seller in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (any such fee, damages or expense reimbursement paid by Parent, a “Reverse Break Fee”) and the termination of the Merger Agreement and Parent’s liability to pay to Seller such Reverse Break Fee thereunder is primarily and directly attributable to a material breach of this Agreement by Purchaser (“Material Purchaser Breach”), then Purchaser shall pay to Parent an amount equal to the Purchaser Fee Percentage multiplied by the Reverse Break Fee; provided that such amount required to be paid by Purchaser to Parent shall in no event exceed $42,000,000, unless such

Material Purchaser Breach was willful or fraudulent and Purchaser had the specific intent to cause a Material Purchaser Breach or such that one or more of the conditions in Section 10.01 or Section 10.03 is not satisfied, in which case, such amount to be paid by Purchaser to Parent shall in no event exceed $58,000,000 (the “Maximum RTF Amount”, and any amount to be paid by Purchaser to Parent pursuant to this Section 11.02(d), the “Reverse Termination Fee”). Purchaser shall pay Parent the Reverse Termination Fee within two (2) Business Days of Parent paying any Reverse Break Fee to Seller. In no event shall Purchaser be required to pay more than one Reverse Termination Fee and in no event shall Purchaser be liable for any amount in excess of the Maximum RTF Amount. Upon the payment by Purchaser to Parent of the Reverse Termination Fee, neither Purchaser nor Xxxx nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any further liability of any kind, whether at law or in equity, in tort or in contract or otherwise, in connection with the Transaction, this Agreement, the Merger or the Merger Agreement.

(e) Each of the parties acknowledges that the Purchaser Fee and the Reverse Termination Fee are not intended to be a penalty, but rather are liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or Purchaser, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which such Purchaser Fee or the Reverse Termination Fee is due and payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(f) Each of Parent, Xxxx and Purchaser acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 11.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, Parent, Xxxx and Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if a party fails to pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to this Section 11.02, then such party shall reimburse the other party for all costs and expenses (including disbursements and reasonable fees of counsel) incurred in the collection of such overdue amount, including in connection with any related actions commenced and pay interest on such amount from and including the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

(g) Specific Performance and Other Remedies. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to exercising any right of termination under Section 11.01, the non-breaching parties may, but shall not be required to, seek specific enforcement or other available remedies in accordance with Section 13.02(d).

Section 11.03 Rescission. In the event the FTC shall not have approved on or prior to the Closing Date the FTC Order issued by it in disposition of its proceeding relating to the Merger, and following the Closing Date, the FTC shall have notified (such notification, the “Regulatory Nonsatisfaction Notice”) Parent or Seller in writing that, for purposes thereof, Purchaser would not be an acceptable purchaser of the Purchased Assets and that the Transaction is required to be rescinded, then Parent or Seller shall give prompt written notice thereof to Purchaser (which notice shall include a copy of the Regulatory Nonsatisfaction Notice) and the parties shall promptly take all actions as may be necessary or desirable to rescind the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to restore to each party its rights,

powers and obligations as in existence immediately prior to the Closing, including (a) Seller refunding to Purchaser all funds received by Seller from Purchaser as payment of the Purchase Price, (b) execution by Purchaser of such assignments, transfers and other documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to convey, assign and transfer back to Seller all of Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets and (c) execution by Seller of such assumptions and other documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to relieve Purchaser of all liability for any Assumed Liabilities existing on the Closing Date.

Any failure to submit any such notice of claim to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually prejudiced by such failure.

Section 12.04 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a) The right of an Indemnified Party with respect to Damages resulting from the assertion of liability by a third party shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 12.04.

The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely Notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Except as set forth in this Section 12.04, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to:

(i) take control of and conduct the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim by written notice to the Indemnified Party;

(ii) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (provided, that such attorneys are reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) to handle and defend the same, unless the named parties to such Proceeding include both one or more Indemnifying Parties and an Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses or defense strategies available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to an applicable Indemnifying Party or that there exists a conflict of interest, in which event such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to separate counsel (provided, that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party); and

(iii) compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made either (x) only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (y) if such compromise or settlement contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, without any admission of wrongdoing of any nature whatsoever to or by such Indemnified Party, and provides only for monetary damages that will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party under the terms of this Agreement;

provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not have the right to take control of and conduct the defense if such Third Party Claim involves an injunction or equitable relief, non-monetary claims, or criminal liability, in which case, the Indemnified Party will take control and conduct the defense, compromise and settlement of such Third Party Claim (but such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects to take control and conduct the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such Third Party Claim has been asserted will have the right to take control and conduct the defense of, and to compromise or settle, such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.

Section 12.05 Limitations on and Additional Terms of Indemnity.

(a) Except in the case of fraud or a willful breach, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification from Parent pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(i) (other than with respect to a breach of any Parent Fundamental Representation) unless the aggregate claims for Damages of Purchaser Indemnified Parties for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 12.02(a)(i) (other than with respect to a breach of any Parent Fundamental Representation) exceed $5,000,000 (the “Threshold”), in which event Parent shall be liable for all indemnifiable Damages in excess of the Threshold; provided, that an indemnifying party shall not have any liability under Section 12.02(a)(i) for any individual items where the Damages relating thereto is less than $150,000, and such items shall not be aggregated or included for purposes of determining the Threshold.

any claim in respect of such Damages).

(g) Except as set forth in Section 5.07, the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of Xxxx, Purchaser, Parent and Seller, as the case may be, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnified Parties based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations, will not be limited or affected by any investigation conducted by Xxxx, Purchaser, Parent or Seller or any of their respective Representatives with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by Xxxx, Purchaser, Parent or Seller or any of their respective Representatives, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to, the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation as aforesaid.

(j) Parent shall have no obligation under this Article XII to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party to the extent such Damages were taken into account in the final calculation of the Final Closing Statement.

Section 12.06 Exclusive Remedy.

disclosure letter, document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, and no legal action sounding in tort, statute or strict liability may be maintained by any party (other than a legal action brought solely to enforce or pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII).

In the event that any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 13.11 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Purchaser, Parent and Seller; provided, however, subject to this Section 13.11, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be subject to the substitution or addition of modified or other terms and conditions as the FTC may require. Each party agrees to accept such changes to this Agreement as shall be required by the FTC and to negotiate in good faith and execute promptly an appropriate amendment to this Agreement to reflect such required changes (an “Amendment”), unless such changes (i) would reasonably be expected to have, in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, (ii) would require a change in the Base Purchase Price, or (iii) would adversely affect the economics of the Transaction (other than as a result of a requirement of a change in the Base Purchase Price, which shall be subject to clause (ii)); provided, that in the case of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), only the party whose economics would be adversely affected (the “Affected Party”) may elect not to execute an Amendment subject to compliance with the remainder of this Section 13.11. Prior to entering any Amendment, the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to seek

consultation with the FTC or its staff to review the Amendment in light of the requirements of the FTC giving rise to such Amendment. If either party elects not to execute an Amendment required to be executed pursuant to this Section 13.11 or the Affected Party elects not to execute an Amendment pursuant to the foregoing clauses (ii) or (iii) and does not comply with the remainder of this Section 13.11, then such failure shall be deemed to be a material breach of such party’s obligations under this Agreement. If an Affected Party elects not to execute an Amendment pursuant to the foregoing clauses (ii) or (iii), then the parties shall, in good faith, use their respective reasonable best efforts to reach prompt (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the FTC’s request to make the required changes) mutual agreement with respect to an Amendment reflecting such changes. If the parties, after complying with the preceding sentence are unable to reach mutual agreement with respect to an Amendment within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the parties shall submit the matters that the parties have been unable to resolve with respect to such Amendment, including, without limitation, economic accommodations arising from or related to the changes required by the FTC, but excluding changes to the Base Purchase Price, to an independent nationally recognized investment banking firm, independent nationally recognized accounting firm, or other independent arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) mutually agreed upon by Parent and Purchaser for final and binding resolution of such dispute in accordance with procedures mutually agreed upon by Parent and Purchaser. If Parent and Purchaser are unable to agree on an Arbitrator, then Parent and Purchaser shall each select such an Arbitrator, and the two Arbitrators so selected shall select a third Arbitrator to be the Arbitrator with respect to the unresolved matters with respect to such Amendment. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 13.11, the findings of the Arbitrator so selected by Parent and Purchaser (or, if Parent and Purchaser are unable to agree on an Arbitrator, so selected by the Arbitrators pursuant to the foregoing sentence) shall be final and binding on all of the parties, and the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator(s) shall be paid by one-half by Parent and one-half by Purchaser. In the event that the findings of the Arbitrator include a change (x) that adversely affect the economics of the Transaction in respect of such party or (y) to the Base Purchase Price or changes that cause either party to require a change to the Base Purchase Price, the party who is not requiring the change in the Base Purchase Price or whose economics would be adversely affected may elect not to execute an Amendment and terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01(j).

Section 13.12 Waiver. Any party may waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party.

Section 13.13 Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the parties shall take all commercially reasonable action necessary (including executing and delivering further notices, assumptions, releases and acquisitions).

Section 13.14 No Recourse. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, consultant, representative or principal of Xxxx, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates shall have, and Xxxx on behalf of such Persons waives any right to assert or initiate, any claim, suit, proceeding or other similar action, relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Merger or the Transaction against Seller and its Affiliates prior to the execution and delivery of the Joinder.
