(v)the consulting agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Consulting Agreement”) shall become effective as of July 1, 2020 (in the event the Release Requirement is not satisfied, the Consulting Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect);

(vi)subject to Section 5.6, any unvested restricted stock units held by Executive on the expiration of the Term, and any unvested stock options held by Executive on the expiration of the Term, in both cases that were granted to Executive prior to January 1, 2019, will become fully vested (and, in the case of any such stock options, exercisable) (provided that any such stock options held by Executive and vesting pursuant to this subsection 4(g)(vi) will cease being exercisable upon the earlier of December 31, 2021 and the scheduled expiration of such stock options), and in all other respects, all such awards shall be governed by the plans and programs and the agreements and other documents pursuant to which the awards were granted; provided, however, if necessary to comply with Section

2

409A, settlement of any such equity-based awards shall be made on the date that is six (6) months plus one (1) day following expiration of the Term;

(vii)For avoidance of doubt, Section 4(g)(vi) does not apply to any unvested stock options or unvested restricted stock units held by Executive on the expiration of the Term and that were granted to Executive on or after January 1, 2019.

Both parties acknowledge that this Release Agreement does not limit either party’s right, where applicable, to file or to participate in an investigative proceeding of any federal, state or local governmental agency.

Additionally, this Release Agreement, its existence or its terms will not be admissible in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Release Agreement.

It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code, and applicable administrative guidance and regulations (“Section 409A”), and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes and penalties under Section 409A and that all reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with Section 409A.

Section 4Certain Agreements

4.1Restrictive Covenants. The Consultant acknowledges that he has continuing obligations to the Company as set forth in Section 5 of his Employment Agreement, which continue in full force and effect after his separation from employment with the Company according to their terms.

4.2Confidentiality. The Consultant shall (and, if applicable, shall cause his employees to) (a) hold the Confidential Information in confidence and protect it in accordance with the same degree of care with which he protects his own confidential information of like importance which he does not wish to disclose, but in no event less than reasonable care, (b) use the Confidential Information solely to the extent necessary in the performance of the Services and not for any other purpose, (c) not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person (other than the Company and its Affiliates), (d) upon the request of the Company, promptly return all Confidential Information to the Company (or, at the election of the Company, destroy such Confidential Information) without retaining any copies thereof (and provide certification of his compliance with this clause (d)) and (e) not reverse engineer, decompile, test or analyze the Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Company. In the event that the Consultant is requested or required by law, judicial or governmental order, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other legal process to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Consultant must first provide the Company with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the Company (or any of its Affiliates) may seek an appropriate protective order, unless, as confirmed by the opinion of the Consultant’s counsel, providing such notice would itself constitute a violation of law. If the Consultant is nevertheless legally required (as confirmed by the opinion of the Consultant’s counsel) to disclose Confidential Information, then the Consultant shall only disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed (as confirmed by the opinion of the Consultant’s counsel). In such an event, the Consultant shall take reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential

B-4

treatment will be accorded to that portion of the Confidential Information being disclosed. In no event shall the Consultant oppose action by the Company (or any of its Affiliates) to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement with the Company shall (i) prohibit Consultant from making reports of possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity in accordance with the provisions of and rules promulgated under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or of any other whistleblower protection provisions of state or federal law or regulation, or (ii) require notification or prior approval by the Company of any reporting described in clause (i).

4.3Regulatory Compliance. The Consultant acknowledges that the Company and/or its Affiliates are subject to gaming, lottery or similar licensing requirements of various jurisdictions. The Consultant shall cooperate fully with the Company and its Affiliates in providing to them any information of whatever nature that any of them deems necessary or appropriate in assuring itself that the Consultant possesses the good character, honesty, integrity, and reputation applicable to those engaged in the gaming and lottery industries. If, during the Term, the Company (or any of its Affiliates) is notified (formally or informally) by any Governmental Authority that the engagement of, or conducting business with, the Consultant may or will jeopardize any license or ability to be licensed of the Company (or any of its Affiliates) or if the Company (or any of its Affiliates) concludes that the Consultant may fail to meet the above criteria (or the compliance committee of the Company or any of its Affiliates otherwise raises an objection with respect to the Consultant), the Company may immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Consultant. The Consultant also acknowledges his obligations set forth in Annex A and Annex B attached hereto.

4.4Indemnification. Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Consultant as to any claim asserted against the Consultant arising from his performance of the Services, to the extent such claim does not arise from the gross negligence or other wrongful act of Consultant.

Section 5Termination

5.1Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall commence on July 1, 2020 and shall continue until December 31, 2020, unless earlier terminated by the Company in accordance with Section 5.2 (the “Term”). The Term can be extended if agreed to by both parties in writing.

5.2Early Termination by Company. The Company may terminate this Agreement early if the Consultant breaches the restrictive covenants referenced in Section 4.1 of the Agreement.

6.2Assignment; Binding Effect. No Party shall assign or transfer or purport to assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that the Company shall be permitted to (a) assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any Affiliate of the Company and (b) pledge its rights or interest under this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns and is binding upon the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Any waiver of, or consent to depart from, the requirements of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and signed by the Party giving it, and only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it has been given. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, no failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right except to the extent that such failure including the failure to provide notice as and when required by this Agreement, has prejudiced the rights and remedies of the other Party. No single or partial exercise of any such right shall preclude any other or further exercise of such right or the exercise of any other right.

6.4Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Annexes) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations, discussions and understandings, written or oral, between the Parties with respect to such subject matter. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement does not supersede any terms of the Employment Agreement that continue after such agreement's expiration, or any releases entered into between Consultant and the Company, including the provisions thereof related to the effectiveness of this Agreement.

6.5Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to give effect to the purpose and intent of the provision found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

6.6Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to agreements made and to be wholly performed within that State, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The parties agree that any controversy or claim not resolved by the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in

B-6

accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Venue for the conduct of the arbitration shall be Las Vegas, Nevada, except that, at the direction of the arbitral tribunal or with the consent of the Parties, particular hearings in aid of such arbitration may be held in other places. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction there. The Parties agree that the factual findings of the arbitral tribunal shall be final absent manifest or material error and rulings on questions of Law or mixed questions of fact and Law shall be reviewed under the “clearly erroneous” standard of review and not under a “manifest disregard of the law” or other standard, notwithstanding any Law concerning such standard to the contrary. Except as contemplated by Section 6.8, the remedies expressly provided herein shall constitute the parties’ sole and exclusive remedies, and all other remedies which might be otherwise available under the Law of any jurisdiction are hereby waived by both parties.

6.7Costs. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party is responsible for its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with performing and observing its obligations and covenants under this Agreement.

6.8Remedies. The Consultant expressly acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the Company. The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Company would be irreparably harmed by a breach of this Agreement by the Consultant and that money damages are an inadequate remedy for an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement. Therefore, the Consultant agrees to the granting of specific performance of this Agreement and injunctive or other equitable relief in favor of the Company as a remedy for any such breach, without proof of actual damages, and the Consultant further waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for any such breach, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at Law or equity to the Company.

6.9Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts which, taken together, constitute one and the same agreement.

6.10No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Consultant have each caused this Agreement to be duly executed pursuant to due authorization, all as of the day and year first above written.
