2REVENUE SHARING PRINCIPLES

 

2.1NEWCO and SEJO shall cause their respective Retail Subsidiaries and Online Subsidiaries operating in the Omni-Channel Jurisdictions, to apply and adhere to the following corporate revenue sharing principles (the “Revenue Sharing Principles”):

 

1.Participation of retail business in online revenue generated by Retail Omni-Channel Customers:

 

i.In each Omni-Channel Jurisdiction, the Online Subsidiary which registers the online wagering activity of a Retail Omni-Channel Customer, shall pay to the Retail Subsidiary that operates the Retail Venue in which said customer was Active at the time of becoming a Retail Omni-Channel Customer1, 35% of the Net Win of such customer generated in any online platform operated by SEJO or its affiliates and subsidiaries from the time he becomes a Retail Omni-Channel Customer and until 18 months thereafter (the “Retail Participation”).

 

ii.On a monthly basis, the aggregate Retail Participation related to all Retail Omni-Channel Customers of each such Retail Subsidiary shall be invoiced net of any corresponding Online Participation to the relevant Online Subsidiary (the “Retail Invoiced Amount”) and will be due and payable 30 days thereafter. For clarity sake, in the event that in any given month the Online Participation is greater than the Retail Participation, no invoice would be issued by the Retail Subsidiary for that month.

 

iii.The applicable Online Subsidiary(ies) will, within 10 days following the close of each month, provide the applicable Retail Subsidiary(ies) with the monthly Net Win of each Retail Omni-Channel Customer in the online channel to allow for the Retail Subsidiary(ies) to issue any such invoice.

 

 

 

 

1In the event that, at the time of becoming a Retail Omni-Channel Customer, such customer was Active in more than one Retail Venue, those Retail Subsidiaries in which such customer was Active would have to agree, in good faith, to a pro-rata sharing of the Retail Participation.

 

 6 

 

 

2.Participation of online business in revenue generated by Online Omni-Channel Customers:

 

i.In each Omni-Channel Jurisdiction, the Retail Subsidiary which registers the retail wagering activity of an Online Omni-Channel Customer, shall pay the Online Subsidiary in which said customer was Active at the time of becoming an Online Omni-Channel Customer, 35% of the Net Win of such customer from the time he becomes an Online Omni-Channel Customer and until 18 months thereafter (the “Online Participation”).

 

ii.On a monthly basis, the aggregate Online Participation related to all Online Omni-Channel Customers of each such Online Subsidiary shall be invoiced net of any corresponding Retail Participation to the relevant Retail Subsidiary by the relevant Online Subsidiary (the “Online Invoiced Amount”) and will be due and payable 30 days thereafter. For clarity sake, in the event that in any given month the Retail Participation is greater than the Online Participation, no invoice would be issued by the Online Subsidiary for that month.

 

iii.The applicable Retail Subsidiary(ies) will, within 10 days following the close of each month, provide the applicable Online Subsidiary(ies) with the monthly Net Win of each Online Omni-Channel Customer in the online channel to allow for the Online Subsidiary(ies) to issue any such invoice.

 

3.Ineligibility for additional participation in revenue generated by a customer after completion of the 18-month period for any such Retail Participation or Online Participation, as applicable.

 

 

Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties, to be formalized by way of amendment to this Agreement, after 18 months have passed from the time a customer becomes a Retail Omni-Channel Customer or an Online Omni-Channel Customer, as the case may, no Retail Subsidiary or Online Subsidiary will be entitled to any Retail Participation or Online Participation, as applicable, in regards to any customer upon which either a Retail Participation or Online Participation had previously applied.

 

4.Application of the Revenue Sharing Principles in certain circumstances:

 

i.In the event there is an Omni-Channel Jurisdiction in which both the Retail License and the Online License are held by the same Codere Group entity, the Revenue Sharing Principles shall be applied through internal management reporting procedures until such time as another Codere Group entity holds or otherwise obtains a standalone Online License, at which point it shall accede to this Agreement pursuant to Clause 8 (Accessions) and comply with Clause 2.1(1)(i),(ii) and (iii), or Clause 2.1(2)(i), (ii) and (iii), as applicable.

 

 7 

 

 

ii.In the event there is an Omni-Channel Jurisdiction in which there is a contractual agreement between a Retail Subsidiary and an Online Subsidiary for the provision of online and/or retail operating services between them, the Parties shall ensure that the agreed fee economics of such contractual agreement reflect the Revenue Sharing Principles.

 

2.2Non-compliance with the Revenue Sharing Principles shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

 

3PROCESSING FEE

 

3.1Newco and SEJO shall ensure that in each Omni-Channel Jurisdiction, the Online Subsidiaries pay, on a monthly basis, a processing fee equal to 3.0% of any Deposit made by an online customer in a Retail Venue (the “Processing Fee”) to the Retail Subsidiary that operates the Retail Venue where such Deposit was made. Any such amounts would be invoiced by the applicable Retail Subsidiary to the applicable Online Subsidiary and due and payable 30 days thereafter. For clarity sake, no fee shall be payable by the relevant Online Subsidiary for any withdrawals made from an Online Account in a Retail Venue.

 

3.2Non-compliance with payment of the Processing Fee in the terms of Clause 3.1 above shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

 

4TERM

 

4.1The initial term of this Agreement shall be 1 year from 1 January, 2021 (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated pursuant to Clause 5.1. This Agreement will be automatically extended for successive one year periods (each such year-to-year renewal term, a “Renewal Term”), unless Newco or SEJO provides the other with written notice of its objection to any such renewal, delivered at least 30 days before the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term.

 

5TERMINATION

 

5.1This Agreement will terminate in any of the following circumstances:

 

5.1.1Expiry of the Initial Term or expiry of any Renewal Term, if either Newco or SEJO objects to the automatic extension in the manner provided for in Clause 4.1;

 

5.1.2at any time by either Newco or SEJO with 30 day’s prior written notice to the other;

 

5.1.3by mutual agreement between Newco and SEJO;

 

 8 

 

 

5.1.4by Newco, in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by SEJO or by any of the Online Subsidiaries, upon receipt of written notice by SEJO stating Newco’s desire to terminate this Agreement and the cause of termination; except where the breach can be cured and is cured no later than 15 days from the date SEJO was notified of the breach.

 

5.1.5by SEJO, in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by Newco or by any of the Retail Subsidiaries, upon receipt of written notice by Newco stating SEJO’s desire to terminate this Agreement and the cause of termination; except where the breach can be cured and is cured no later than 15 days from the date Newco was notified of the breach.

 

6EFFECT OF TERMINATION

 

6.1This Agreement will cease to have any further effect on the date on which it is terminated save for the Surviving Provisions which shall remain in full force and effect, and save in respect of any liability arising or breaches of this Agreement that occurred prior to termination. Termination of this Agreement by expiry of the Initial Term or expiry of the Renewal Term will not grant any Party any right of indemnity for harm or losses or the right to any other compensation.

 

6.2Any obligations of the Parties with respect to the application of the Revenue Sharing Principles or payment of a Processing Fee shall survive the termination of this Agreement. For clarity sake, if a customer becomes a Retail Omni-Channel Customer or an Online Omni-Channel Customer and thereafter this Agreement is terminated, the relevant Retail Subsidiary or Online Subsidiary will still have to pay the Online Participation or Retail Participation, as applicable, until 18 months thereafter.
