Re: Warrants Amendment
Reference: NY33267
The purpose of this letter agreement amendment (the "Amendment") is to
amend the terms and conditions of the Transaction (the "Transaction") entered
into between Bear, Xxxxxxx International Limited ("Bear Xxxxxxx") and Scientific
Games Corporation ("Counterparty") pursuant to a letter agreement (the
"Confirmation") dated December 23, 2004 pursuant to which Bear Xxxxxxx is
purchasing from Counterparty a Number of Warrants equal to 4,295,533. This
Amendment relates to, and sets forth the terms of, the purchase by Bear Xxxxxxx
from Counterparty of an additional Number of Warrants (the "Additional Number of
Warrants"). Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment to the Confirmation, all
references to "Number of Warrants" and "Transaction" in the Confirmation, as
amended, will include the Additional Number of Warrants purchased by Bear
Xxxxxxx pursuant to the terms set forth below, and all references to "Daily
Number of Warrants" in the Confirmation, as amended, will include the
"Additional Daily Number of Warrants" specified below. Capitalized terms used
herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Confirmation.
The terms relating to the purchase of the Additional Number of Warrants are as
follows:
1. The "Trade Date" will be December 27, 2004.
2. The "Additional Number of Warrants" will equal a Number of Warrants
determined by Bear Xxxxxxx not to exceed 429,553; provided that if the
Additional Number of Options under the amendment, dated December 23, 2004, to
the letter agreement dated December 23, 2004 between Bear Xxxxxxx and
Counterparty is less than 12,500, the Additional Number of Warrants shall bear
the same proportion to 429,553 as the Additional Number of Options bears to
12,500.
3. The "Premium" for the Additional Number of Warrants will be determined by the
Calculation Agent on the Exchange Business Day following the last day of the
Initial Execution Period based on the pricing grid attached hereto as Annex A.
If the Execution Price is between two stock price amounts in the pricing grid,
the Premium will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the
stock prices. If the Execution Price is not set forth in the pricing grid
because it is greater than the highest stock price amount in the pricing grid or
less than the lowest stock price in the pricing grid, the Calculation Agent will
determine the Premium using the same methodology that was used to create the
pricing grid. The Calculation Agent will notify Counterparty on the date on
which the Premium is determined of the Premium, the Additional Number of
Warrants, the Additional Daily Number of Warrants and the Execution Price. For
the avoidance of doubt, the "Additional Daily Number of Warrants" will equal the
Additional Number of Warrants divided by 60.
22
4. The "Premium Payment Date" for the Additional Number of Warrants will be the
second Exchange Business Day following the last day of the Initial Execution
Period.
5. The "Execution Price" for the Additional Number of Warrants will equal the
volume-weighted average price per Share, as determined by the Calculation Agent,
at which Bear Xxxxxxx or its affiliates effects certain purchases of Shares for
its own account during the Initial Execution Period.
6. The "Initial Execution Period" means each of the days, beginning on and
including the Trade Date and ending no later than December 31, 2004, on which
Bear Xxxxxxx or an affiliate of Bear Xxxxxxx effects certain purchases of Shares
for its own account in connection with this Amendment.
7. Counterparty represents and warrants to Bear Xxxxxxx that each of it and its
affiliates is not, on the date hereof, in possession of material non-public
information with respect to Counterparty. If at any time during the Initial
Execution Period Counterparty or any of its affiliates becomes aware of any
material non-public information with respect to Counterparty, Counterparty shall
notify Bear Xxxxxxx of such occurrence (but not the nature of such information),
Bear Xxxxxxx (or its affiliates) as promptly as practicable shall cease
effecting any further transactions in the Shares, and the Initial Execution
Period will end at the time of such cessation.
8. Early Unwind. In the event the sale by Counterparty to the initial purchasers
of an additional USD 25,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior
Subordinated Debentures due 2024 (the "Additional Convertible Notes") as a
result of the exercise of the right granted with respect to such Additional
Convertible Notes is not consummated with the initial purchasers for any reason
by the Premium Payment Date (the "Early Unwind Date"), this Amendment shall
automatically terminate (the "Early Unwind") on the Early Unwind Date and (i)
this Amendment and all of the respective rights and obligations of Bear Xxxxxxx
and Counterparty under this Amendment shall be cancelled and terminated and (ii)
each party shall be released and discharged by the other party from and agrees
not to make any claim against the other party with respect to any obligations or
liabilities of the other party arising out of and to be performed in connection
with this Amendment either prior to or after the Early Unwind Date.
9. Counterparty hereby repeats the representations, warranties and agreements
contained in the Confirmation with respect to the Amendment or with respect to
the Confirmation, as amended by the Amendment, as the context requires.
10. Except as amended hereby, all the terms of the Transaction and provisions in
the Confirmation shall remain and continue in full force and effect and are
hereby confirmed in all respects.
11. This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, with the same effect as if all of the signatures thereto
and hereto were upon the same instrument.
