Except as specifically provided above, following the Merger Effective Time, each Exchanged Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Option immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions.

(d) Section 4.1(d) of the LACQ Disclosure Schedules (the “Ownership Allocation Schedule”) describes (a)(x) each holder of Company Common Stock (after taking into account the Convertible Notes Conversion) and (y) in respect of such holder, the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration receivable by each such holder (such holder’s “Aggregate Holder Per Share Merger Consideration”) of Company Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) each Exchanged Option that will be outstanding as of the Closing, and, with respect to such Exchanged Option, the number of shares of LACQ Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Exchanged Option and the exercise price of such Exchanged Option, and (c) each Assumed Warrant that will be outstanding as of the Closing, and, with respect to such Assumed Warrant, the number of shares of LACQ Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Warrant and the exercise price of such Assumed Warrant.

In the event application of the provisions set forth above in this Section 4.1 would not result in the treatment of such Equity Securities of the Company as set forth in the Ownership Allocation Schedule at the Merger Effective Time (and the resulting allocation and issuance of consideration set forth in such Ownership Allocation Schedule), the Parties shall work together in good faith to amend such provisions so as to give effect to the intended result set forth in the Ownership Allocation Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the aggregate consideration in respect of the Transactions shall in no event exceed the aggregate amounts of Aggregate Holder Per Share Merger Consideration (as may be updated in accordance herewith in respect of any Newly Issued Convertible Notes), Exchanged Options and Assumed Warrants (including the aggregate amount of LACQ Common Stock underlying such Exchanged Options and Assumed Warrants) reflected in the Ownership Allocation Schedule; and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of LACQ Common Stock to be issued (or underlying Equity Securities of LACQ to be issued) to holders of the Company’s Equity Securities (excluding Exchanged Options and Assumed Warrants) in consideration for the Transactions shall not exceed (A) 17,500,000 shares of LACQ Common Stock, plus (B) the Additional LACQ Stock Consideration. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, if the Parties mutually agree, the Parties shall update such Ownership Allocation Schedule to the extent necessary to reflect any developments between the date hereof and the Closing Date, including with respect to any Newly Issued Convertible Notes and the Additional LACQ Stock Consideration attributable thereto; provided, however, that unless LACQ expressly agrees, such updated Ownership Allocation Schedule will not provide for the allocation or issuance of consideration in respect of any Equity Securities of the Company issued after the date hereof in violation of Section 7.1(k), which Equity Securities shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be cancelled, effective as of the Merger Effective Time.

(e) Immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall cause the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest due on the Existing Convertible Notes and the Newly Issued Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Company Convertible Notes”) to be converted into the applicable number of shares of Company Common Stock provided for under the terms of such Company Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes Conversion”). All of the Company Convertible Notes converted into shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist and each holder of Company Convertible Notes shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1, in addition to the Aggregate Holder Per Share Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Company Common Stock resulting from the conversion of the Existing Convertible Notes (as set forth in the Ownership Allocation Schedule on the date hereof), the holders of Company Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Newly Issued Convertible Notes shall also be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i) (such consideration attributable to Company Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Newly Issued Convertible Notes, the “Additional LACQ Stock Consideration”).

Within two (2) Business Days (but in no event prior to the Merger Effective Time) after the surrender to the Exchange Agent of all Certificates held by such holder for cancellation, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore, and LACQ shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.2, each Certificate representing shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 4.1 shall be deemed at all times after the Merger Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Merger Effective Time with respect to the LACQ Common Stock with a record date after the Merger Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of LACQ Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with Section 4.2(b). Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, LACQ shall pay or cause to be paid to the holder of the shares of LACQ Common Stock issued in exchange therefore, without interest, (i) promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Merger Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such shares of LACQ Common Stock and not paid, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such shares of LACQ Common Stock with a record date after the Merger Effective Time and prior to surrender, but with a payment date occurring after such surrender.

(d) No Further Rights in Company Common Stock. The Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon conversion of a share of Company Common Stock or pursuant to Section 4.3 in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock.

(e) Adjustments to Per Share Consideration. The Per Share Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to LACQ Common Stock or the Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Merger Effective Time; provided, however, that this Section 4.2(e) shall not be construed to permit LACQ or the Company to take any actions with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by this Agreement.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock by the 180th day after the Merger Effective Time shall be delivered to LACQ. Any holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to LACQ for the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Common Stock as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of LACQ, free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, LACQ or the Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder of Company Common Stock for any LACQ Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with this Section 4.2.

(h) Withholding. The Exchange Agent and each of LACQ, the Company, the Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts (including shares, warrants, options or other property) otherwise payable, issuable or transferable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of a Company Warrant, a Company Option or Company Common Stock, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment, issuance or transfer under the Code or any provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Tax Law. As soon as reasonably practicable prior to making any deduction or withholding pursuant to this Section 4.2(h), the Exchange Agent and each of LACQ, the Company, the Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide written notice to the Company of any anticipated deduction or withholding (together with the legal basis therefor), and (ii) at the written request of the Company, cooperate in good faith to reduce or eliminate any amounts that would otherwise be deducted or withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.2(h), (x) nothing shall prevent any payor under this Agreement from timely remitting any amounts to a Governmental Authority, and (y) to the extent that any amounts are deducted or withheld and timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid, issued, or transferred to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(i) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a share of LACQ Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger or the other Transactions, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of LACQ Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of LACQ Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall instead receive the number of shares of LACQ Common Stock to be issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of LACQ Common Stock.

Section 4.3 Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the Company who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal or dissenters’ rights for such Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of appraisal rights, shall not be converted into, and such stockholders shall have no right to receive, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration unless and until such stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. Any Company Stockholder who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL, shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Merger Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, if applicable, in the manner provided in Section 4.2(b), of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Common Stock.

Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give LACQ (i) prompt notice (and in any event within one Business Day) of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands. The Company shall consult with LACQ prior to making any payment with respect to demands for appraisal or offering to settle or settling any such demands. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of LACQ, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

From and after the date hereof, LACQ shall and shall cause its officers and directors to, and LACQ shall instruct and cause LACQ’s representatives, its Subsidiaries and their representatives to, immediately cease and terminate all discussions and negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to a Business Combination Proposal, and as promptly as practicable thereafter notify each such Person to the effect that LACQ is ending all discussions and negotiations with such Person with respect to any Business Combination Proposal, effective immediately, which notice shall also request such Person to promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning LACQ and its Subsidiaries and LACQ shall take all reasonable necessary actions to secure its rights and ensure the performance of any such Person’s obligations under any applicable confidentiality agreement. Except as expressly permitted by this Section 8.1, from and after the date hereof until the Merger Effective Time, or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article XI, the LACQ board of directors or any committee thereof shall not (i) adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Business Combination Proposal, (ii) withdraw, change, qualify, withhold or modify, or publicly propose to withdraw, change, qualify, withhold or modify, in a manner adverse to the Company, the LACQ Board Recommendation, (iii) fail to include the LACQ Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iv) in the event a tender offer that constitutes a Business Combination Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act is commenced, fail to recommend against such Business Combination Proposal in any solicitation or recommendation statement made on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days of such commencement, (v) approve, authorize or cause or permit LACQ or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any merger agreement, acquisition agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or other similar agreement relating to any Business Combination Proposal, (vi) fail to publicly affirm the LACQ Board Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of a written request to do so from the Company or (vii) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing (any action set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii) of this sentence, a “Change of Board Recommendation”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.1 and subject to compliance with this Section 8.1, prior to receipt of the LACQ Stockholder Approval, LACQ and its representatives may furnish information regarding LACQ to, or enter into discussions or negotiations with any Person in response to a bona fide written Business Combination Proposal by such Person that did not result from a breach of this Section 8.1, which LACQ’s board of directors reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Business Combination Proposal (and is not withdrawn) if: (A) the board of directors of LACQ concludes in good faith based on the advice of outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the board of directors of LACQ under applicable Laws; (B) at least five (5) Business Days prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information to, or entering into discussions with, such Person, LACQ gives the Company written notice of LACQ’s intention to furnish nonpublic information to, or enter into discussions with, such Person; (C) LACQ receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing provisions that are not less restrictive to such Person as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; and (D) contemporaneously with furnishing any such nonpublic information to such Person, LACQ furnishes such nonpublic information to the Company (to the extent such information has not been previously furnished by LACQ to the Company).

(c) LACQ shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify the Company orally and in writing of the receipt of any Business Combination Proposal, which notice shall include a copy of such Business Combination Proposal (or, where such Business Combination Proposal is not submitted by such Person in writing, a reasonably detailed written description of the material terms and conditions of such Business Combination Proposal). Without limiting the foregoing, LACQ shall keep the Company promptly informed (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) in all material respects of the status of, and any material communications relating to material changes to, such Business Combination Proposal (including any change in the price or other material terms thereof). LACQ shall not terminate, amend, modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any “standstill” or similar obligation of any Person unless its board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably expected to breach its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that LACQ promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) advises the Company that it is taking such action. LACQ shall not enter into any agreement with any Person relating to a Business Combination Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement of the type described in Section 8.1(b)) which has the effect of prohibiting LACQ or its representatives from communicating with, or providing any information or materials to, the Company in accordance with, or otherwise complying with this Section 8.1.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.1(a), if, in response to a bona fide written Business Combination Proposal made after the date of this Agreement and not withdrawn that did not result from a breach of this Section 8.1, LACQ’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Business Combination Proposal constitutes a Superior Business Combination Proposal, at any time prior to the receipt of the LACQ Stockholder Approval, (A) LACQ’s board of directors may effect a Change of Board Recommendation with respect to such Superior Business Combination Proposal and/or (B) the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(iv) in order to enter into a definitive written agreement with respect to such Superior Business Combination Proposal, in either case subject to the requirements of this Section 8.1(d). LACQ shall not be entitled to effect a Change of Board Recommendation pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(iv) unless:

(i) the LACQ board of directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law;

(ii) LACQ shall have provided to the Company at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice (the “Notice Period”) of LACQ’s intention to take such actions, which notice shall include a copy of the definitive written agreement with respect to such Superior Business Combination Proposal and any other material documents with respect thereto;

(iii) during the Notice Period, if requested by the Company, LACQ shall have, and shall have caused its Representatives to have, engaged in good faith negotiations with the Company and its representatives regarding any amendments or modifications to this Agreement proposed by the Company and intended to cause the relevant Business Combination Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Business Combination Proposal; and

(iv) following the end of such Notice Period, LACQ’s board of directors shall have considered in good faith any proposed amendments or modifications to this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby that may be offered by the Company in writing (the “Proposed Changed Terms”) no later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the last day of the Notice Period and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Business Combination Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Business Combination Proposal if such Proposed Changed Terms were to be given effect and that the failure to make a Change of Board Recommendation with respect to such Superior Business Combination Proposal would reasonably be expected to breach the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

In the event of any change to the price terms or any other material revision or material amendment to the terms of such Superior Business Combination Proposal, LACQ shall be required to deliver a new written notice to the Company and to again comply with the requirements of this Section 8.1(d) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis) with respect to such new written notice, except that references in this Section 8.1(d) to “four (4) Business Days” shall be deemed to be references to “two (2) Business Days”.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 8.1 shall prohibit LACQ’s board of directors from (i) disclosing to the LACQ Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 and Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (ii) making any disclosure to the LACQ Stockholders if the LACQ board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would breach its fiduciary duties or violate applicable Law, provided that upon the written request by the Company following any disclosure specified in this Section 8.1(b), LACQ’s board of directors shall publicly reaffirm the LACQ Board Recommendation within three (3) Business Days following receipt of such request and a failure to do so shall be deemed to be a Change of Board Recommendation. The issuance by LACQ or the LACQ board of directors of a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position, as contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, shall not constitute a Change of Board Recommendation.

(f) LACQ acknowledges and agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.1 by any of its representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 8.1 by LACQ.

Section 8.2 LACQ Conduct of Business.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Party shall be obligated to share (x) any filings or other written materials that include individual personal background and financial information or non-public financial information regarding the Company or LACQ or (y) any communications with a Governmental Authority pertaining to any such information or matters in clause (x); provided, that to the extent the relevant portions of such communications can be reasonably redacted, then such party shall be obligated to share redacted copies of such communications in accordance with this Section 9.1(d). In furtherance of the foregoing, LACQ shall furnish to the Company and the Company shall furnish to LACQ such information and assistance as each respective party may reasonably request in order to prepare any notification, application, filing or request to, or response to a request from, a Governmental Authority.

Section 9.2 Securities Forms.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, LACQ and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and LACQ shall file with the SEC, the Form S-4 and the Form S-8 (collectively, the “Securities Forms”).

(b) Each of LACQ and the Company shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Securities Forms and any amendment to the Securities Forms filed in response thereto. If LACQ or the Company becomes aware that any information contained in the Securities Forms shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or that the Securities Forms is required to be amended in order to comply with applicable Law, then (i) such Party shall promptly inform the other Party and (ii) LACQ, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) an amendment or supplement to the Securities Forms. Each of the Company and LACQ shall provide the other Party with copies of any written comments, and shall inform the other Party of any oral comments, that the Company or LACQ receives from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Securities Forms promptly after the receipt of such comments and shall give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed written or oral responses to such comments prior to responding to the SEC or its staff.

Section 9.3 Support of Transaction. Without limiting any covenant contained in Article VII or Article VIII, LACQ and the Company shall each, and shall each cause their respective Subsidiaries to: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to assemble, prepare and file any information (and, as needed, to supplement such information) as may be reasonably necessary to obtain as promptly as practicable all governmental and regulatory consents required to be obtained in connection with the Transactions, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all material consents, Permits and approvals of third parties that any of LACQ, the Company or their respective Affiliates are required to obtain in order to consummate the Transactions on mutually acceptable terms, and (c) take such other action as may reasonably be necessary or as another party may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of Article X or otherwise to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable. Upon reasonable prior notice, the Company shall make employees of the Company available to participate in and assist LACQ in LACQ’s preparation of customary materials for meetings with potential investors and other Persons.

Section 9.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Each of the Company, LACQ, Merger Sub, and Surviving Company agree that the Transactions (including the exchange of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.1(a)) are intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Company, LACQ, Merger Sub, and Surviving Company hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

(b) Each of LACQ, Merger Sub, the Company, and the Surviving Company shall take commercially reasonable efforts (i)(A) to cause the Merger to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, and (B) to take no action (and to permit or cause no Affiliates to take any action) that, to its knowledge, could reasonably be expected to materially prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment, (ii) unless otherwise required pursuant to a change in Law, to report the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, including attaching the statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a) on or with its Tax Return for the taxable year of the Merger, and (iii) to cause the Surviving Company to continue the Company’s historic business or use a significant portion of the Company’s historic business assets in a business, in each case, to the extent required pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(d).

The Company and LACQ shall reasonably cooperate in the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to such Transfer Taxes, including joining in the execution of any such Tax Return if required by applicable Law; provided, however, that any costs associated with such cooperation shall be borne solely by the Company.

(ii) the consummation of any of the Transactions is permanently enjoined, prohibited or otherwise restrained or made illegal by the terms of a final, non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(iii) the Closing has not occurred on or before June 30, 2021 (the “Outside Date”), unless LACQ is in willful breach hereof and such breach is the primary reason for the Closing not occurring on or before such date; or

(d) prior to the Closing, by written notice to LACQ from the Company if:

(i) there is any material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of LACQ set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 10.2(a) and Section 10.2(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (a “Terminating LACQ Breach”), except that, if any such Terminating LACQ Breach is curable by LACQ through the exercise of its reasonable best efforts, then, for a period of up to thirty (30) days after receipt by LACQ of notice from the Company of such breach, but only as long as LACQ continues to exercise such reasonable best efforts to cure such Terminating LACQ Breach (the “LACQ Cure Period”), such termination shall not be effective, and such termination shall become effective only if the Terminating LACQ Breach is not cured within the LACQ Cure Period;

(a) The parties hereto agree that if (i) this Agreement is terminated by LACQ or the Company pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(iv) or Section 11.1(d)(iv) (as applicable) and (ii) LACQ enters into a written definitive merger or purchase agreement with respect to the applicable Superior Business Combination Proposal, then LACQ shall pay to the Company prior to or concurrently with such entry into a written definitive merger or purchase agreement with respect to such Superior Business Combination Proposal, in the case of a termination by LACQ, or within two (2) Business Days thereafter, in the case of a termination by the Company, a one-time fee of $5,250,000 (the “LACQ Termination Fee”).

Section 11.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1, this Agreement shall, subject to this Section 11.3, forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party hereto or its respective Affiliates, officers, directors or stockholders, if applicable, or for any intentional and willful breach of this Agreement by a Party hereto occurring prior to such termination, except that (i) the provisions of Article I, Sections 11.2, Section 11.3, 12.4, 12.5, 12.6, 12.14 and 12.16 herein and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither LACQ nor the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities arising out of its breach of any covenant of this Agreement prior to such termination or willful and material breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination, except that neither LACQ nor the Company shall bear any liability for Transaction Expenses incurred by the other Party in excess of $1,000,000.

Section 12.7 Captions; Counterparts. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 12.8 Disclosure Schedules and Annexes; Disclaimer. The Disclosure Schedules and Annexes referenced herein are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. All references herein to Disclosure Schedules and Annexes shall be deemed references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. Any disclosure made by a Party in the Company Disclosure Schedules or LACQ Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, with reference to any section or schedule of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to such other applicable sections or schedules of this Agreement as to which the disclosure on its face is reasonably apparent upon reading the disclosure contained in such schedule, without independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed, that such disclosure is responsive to such other section or schedule. Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules is included solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality.

Section 12.10 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement; provided, however, that from and after the LACQ Stockholder Approval has been obtained, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that, pursuant to applicable Law, requires further approval or adoption by the stockholders of LACQ without such further approval or adoption. The approval of this Agreement by the Company Stockholders shall not restrict the ability of the board of directors of the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.1 or to cause the Company to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.10 to the extent permitted under applicable law.

Section 12.11 Publicity.

Section 12.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument, document or agreement referred to in this Agreement and entered into in connection with the Business Combination is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement or any other such certificate, instrument, document or agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein or therein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument, document or agreement referred to in this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any other such certificate, instrument, document or agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement or any other such certificate, instrument, document or agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

Section 12.14 Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Any proceeding or action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Transactions may be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding or action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the proceeding or action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any proceeding or action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Transactions in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence Legal Proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other Party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any action, suit or proceeding brought pursuant to this Section 12.14.

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY, UNCONDITIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

Section 12.15 Enforcement. The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith.

Section 12.16 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or Transactions may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and any express guarantor of any such party’s obligations hereunder and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve any party for liability with respect to fraud. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement and not otherwise), no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company or LACQ under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (whether for indemnification or otherwise) of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Transactions.

Re: Lock-Up Agreement for Company Stockholders

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into by and among Leisure Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), EB Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and Ensysce Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ensysce”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Ensysce on the date hereof (the “Merger”), with Ensysce surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

In order to induce the Company to proceed with the Merger and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned (the “Securityholder”) hereby agrees with the Company as follows:

1. Subject to the exceptions set forth herein, the Securityholder agrees not to, without the prior written consent of the board of directors of the Company (which consent may not be granted unless such consent is simultaneously granted by the board of directors of the Company to all stockholders of the Company as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) subject to similar Transfer restrictions as those set forth in this Letter Agreement), Transfer any shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), held by it immediately after the effective time of the Merger, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of Common Stock held by it immediately after the effective time of the Merger, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock held by it immediately after the effective time of the Merger (the “Lock-up Securities”), in each case, until the earlier of (A) one year after the closing date of the Merger (the “Closing Date”) or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stocks dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date, the Lock-up Securities will be released from the restrictions in this paragraph. For purposes of this Letter Agreement, “Transfer” shall mean the (a) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (b) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b).

2. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraph 1 of this Letter Agreement, Transfers of the Lock-up Securities are permitted:

(i)

in the case of an entity, (A) to another entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned or who shares a common investment advisor with the undersigned or (B) as part of a distribution to members, partners or shareholders of the undersigned;

(ii)

in the case of an individual, Transfers by gift to members of the individual’s immediate family (as defined below) or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization;

(iii)

in the case of an individual, Transfers by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual;

(iv)

in the case of an individual, Transfers by operation of law or pursuant to a court order, such as a qualified domestic relations order, divorce decree or separation agreement;

(v)

in the case of an individual, Transfers to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the undersigned and/or the immediate family (as defined below) of the undersigned are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests;

(vi)

in the case of an entity that is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust;

(vii)

in the case of an entity, Transfers by virtue of the laws of the state of the entity’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity;

(viii)

transactions relating to Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock acquired in open market transactions after the effective time of the Merger, provided that no such transaction is required to be, or is, publicly announced (whether on Form 4, Form 5 or otherwise, other than a required filing on Schedule 13F, 13G or 13G/A) during the Lock-Up Period;

(ix)

the exercise of stock options or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock or the vesting of stock awards of Common Stock and any related transfer of shares of Common Stock to the Company in connection therewith (x) deemed to occur upon the “cashless” or “net” exercise of such options or warrants or (y) for the purpose of paying the exercise price of such options or warrants or for paying taxes due as a result of the exercise of such options or warrants, the vesting of such options, warrants or stock awards, or as a result of the vesting of such shares of Common Stock, it being understood that all shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise, vesting or transfer will remain subject to the restrictions of this Letter Agreement during the Lock-Up Period;

(x)

Transfers to the Company pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the effective time of the Merger that provides for the repurchase by the Company or forfeiture of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock in connection with the termination of the Securityholder’s service to the Company;

(xi)

the entry, by the Securityholder, at any time after the effective time of the Merger, of any trading plan providing for the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Securityholder, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any shares of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period and no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the Lock-Up Period; and

(xii)

transactions in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s securityholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (vii), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Letter Agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the Securityholder and not to the immediate family of the transferee), agreeing to be bound by these Transfer restrictions. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned, and lineal descendant (including by adoption) of the undersigned or of any of the foregoing persons; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

5. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described therein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Letter Agreement.

6. This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by the undersigned (i) Securityholder and (ii) the Company.

7. No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the Securityholder and each of its respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees.

8. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Letter Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the Delaware Chancery Court, and irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

9. This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the the expiration of the Lock-up Period.
