As of and conditioned upon the Closing (as such term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the Sponsor and each Insider hereby irrevocably relinquishes and waives any and all rights the Sponsor and each Insider has or will have under Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Charter to receive shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of the number issuable at the Initial Conversion Ratio upon conversion of the existing Class B Common Stock held by him, her or it, as applicable, in connection with the Closing (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) as a result of any Adjustment, and, as a result, the shares of Class B
Common Stock shall convert into shares of Class A Common Stock (or such equivalent security) at Closing (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) on a one-for-one basis such that, as a result of such conversion, all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall collectively convert into 5,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, a portion of which shall be subject to earnout in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and a portion of which shall be subject to forfeiture in accordance with the Founder Holders Forfeiture Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). When used herein, “Business Combination Agreement” means that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2020, by and among the Company, the Sponsor, Rush Street Interactive, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Target”), the sellers set forth on the signatures pages thereto (collectively, the “Sellers”), and Rush Street Interactive GP, LLC, in its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative thereunder (the “Sellers’ Representative”), as the same may be amended modified, supplemented or waived from time to time.”
(b) | Section 15 of the Original Sponsor Letter is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following: |
“Except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 15, nothing in this Letter Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties hereto any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Letter Agreement or any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof. Except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 15, all covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements contained in this Letter Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns and permitted transferees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the Target and the Sellers’ Representative is an express third party beneficiary of this Letter Agreement and may directly enforce (including by an action for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief) each of the provisions set forth in this Letter Agreement as though directly party hereto and thereto; provided that, to the extent the Business Combination Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Target and the Sellers’ Representative shall no longer be a third party beneficiary of this Letter Agreement for any purposes and shall have no right to directly enforce (including by an action for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief) any of the provisions set forth in this Letter Agreement in any respects.”
2. | Enforcement Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but without limiting the last sentence of Section 1(b) of this Amendment and Agreement, the Sponsor and each Insider acknowledges and agrees that each of the Target and the Sellers’ Representative may directly enforce (including by an action for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief) each of the provisions set forth in this Amendment and Agreement. |
