Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 13, 2019, TPG Pace Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “ Company ”), entered into a Transaction Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the “ Transaction Agreement ”) with certain of the Persons set forth on Schedule 1 thereto (each, a “ Seller ” and collectively, the “ Sellers ”) and David Ruttenberg and Gordon Rubenstein (each in their capacity as a “ Shareholder Representative ” and collectively, the “ Shareholder Representatives ”).

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, among other things, (i) the Company will acquire, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of Accel Entertainment Inc., an Illinois corporation (“ Accel ”), held by the Sellers (the “ Stock Purchase ”); (ii) following the closing of the Stock Purchase, Accel will merge with and into New Pace LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ NewCo ”), with NewCo surviving such merger (the “ Merger ” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, the “ Business Combination ”); (iii) certain members of management of Accel entered into a key holder support agreement with the Company pursuant to which such members agreed to restrict the amount of stock for which they elect to receive cash (a “ Cash Election ”) to less than 20% of the number of shares of stock of Accel owned by such shareholder; (iv) certain shareholders of Accel entered into a holder support agreement with the Company pursuant to which such shareholders agreed to make a non-binding Cash Election; (v) TPG Pace II Sponsor, LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company and the sponsor of the Company (“ Pace Sponsor ”), entered into a letter agreement with the Company and the Shareholder Representatives pursuant to which it agreed to cancel 1,250,000 of its shares of New Parent Class F Stock (as defined below) and any additional shares of New Parent Class F Stock necessary to ensure its aggregate ownership of New Parent Class A-1 Stock (as defined below) would not exceed 10.25% of the aggregate ownership of all holders of New Parent Class A-1 Stock (after giving pro forma effect to the Stock Purchase), exchange any remaining shares of New Parent Class F Stock for an equal number of shares of New Parent Class A-1 Stock, exchange 2,000,000 shares of New Parent Class F Stock for an equal number of shares of New Parent Class A-2 Stock (as defined below) which shall be issued on the terms set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement (as defined below), surrender 2,444,444 founder warrants (the “ Private Placement Warrants ”) for cancellation, and contribute 500,000 shares of New Parent Class A-1 Stock to a donor advised fund of its choice for purposes of participation in charitable efforts and vote in favor of the Business Combination; (vi) certain directors of the Company entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which such directors agreed to exchange 200,000 shares of New Parent Class F Stock for an equal number of New Parent Class A-1 Stock; (vii) holders of Existing Parent Class F Shares (as defined below) entered into a waiver (the “ Waiver Agreement ”) pursuant to which they agreed to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the Company’s Articles of Association resulting from the transaction contemplated by the Subscription Agreements (as defined below); (viii) the Company entered into subscription agreements with the Private Placement Investors (as defined below) pursuant to which such Private Placement Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Private Placement Investors, New Parent Class A-1 Stock, as more fully described below under “Private Placement Subscription Agreements”; (ix) the Company will enter into a warrant agreement pursuant to which it will issue to certain holders of Accel’s stock their respective share of warrants to acquire shares of New Parent Class A-1 Stock (the “ New Accel Warrants ”); (x) the Company will issue to certain holders of Accel’s stock their respective share of 3,000,000 shares of New Parent Class A-2 Stock which shall be issued on the terms set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement; and (xi) certain persons will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) and a Restricted Stock Agreement (the “ Restricted Stock Agreement ”) at the closing of the Stock Purchase.

The Transaction Agreement has been executed by a majority of Accel’s shareholders with support from the Board of Directors of Accel.

The Transaction Agreement

Domestication

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement, immediately prior to the Stock Purchase, the Company intends to domesticate (or transfer by way of continuation as a matter of Cayman Islands law) as a Delaware corporation (the “ Domestication ”) in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, and the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2018 Revision) whereupon: (i) each Class A ordinary share of the Company (“ Existing Parent Class  A Shares ”) shall be converted into one share of Class A-1 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“ New Parent Class  A-1 Stock ”), (ii) each Class F ordinary share of the Company (“ Existing Parent Class  F Shares ”) shall be converted into one share of Class F common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“ New Parent Class  F Stock ”), and (iii) the private and public warrants to purchase Existing Parent Class A Shares shall entitle the holder of such warrants to acquire a corresponding number of shares of New Parent Class A-1 Stock on the same terms as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Domestication.


Consideration to Accel Shareholders pursuant to the Stock Purchase

Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at the closing of the Stock Purchase, holders of Accel’s stock will receive a mix of consideration comprised of (a) cash consideration equal to the number of Accel shares for which such holder makes a Cash Election multiplied by $177 per share (the “ Purchase Price ”) and (b) share consideration comprised of New Parent Class A-1 Shares equal to the number of Accel shares for which such holder does not make a Cash Election multiplied by the Purchase Price divided by approximately $10.22 per share (such price per share to be determined as set forth in the Transaction Agreement), subject to pro rata adjustment in the event that holders of Accel’s stock elect more than $350,000,000 in cash in the aggregate. In addition, holders of Accel’s stock who roll more than 30% of their shares of Accel common stock into the new structure will receive a pro-rata share (based upon the number of shares rolled in excess of the 30% threshold) of (a) 2,444,444 New Accel Warrants of the Company and (b) 3,000,000 shares of Class A-2 common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“ New Parent Class  A-2 Stock ”), subject to vesting conditions that will be set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement.

Listing of the Company Shares and Percentage Ownership of the Company

The New Parent Class A-1 Stock is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ”) upon consummation of the Business Combination.

Assuming that none of the shareholders of the Company elect to have their Existing Parent Class A Shares redeemed, it is anticipated that, upon completion of the Stock Purchase: (i) the Company’s public shareholders (other than the Private Placement Investors) will own approximately 52.09% of the equity interests in the Company; (ii) the Private Placement Investors will own approximately 4.53% of the equity interests in the Company (such that the Company’s public shareholders, including the Private Placement Investors, will own approximately 56.63% of the equity interests in the Company); (iii) Pace Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors will own approximately 8.68% of the equity interests in the Company, after giving effect to the surrender for no consideration of approximately 1,250,000 shares of New Parent Class F Stock held by Pace Sponsor; (iv) the holders of Accel’s stock will own approximately 34.11% of the equity interests in the Company; and (v) the donor advised fund will own approximately 0.58% of the equity interests in the Company.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

The parties to the Transaction Agreement have made representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this nature.

Termination

The Transaction Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the consummation of the Business Combination by mutual written consent of the Company and the Shareholder Representatives and in certain other circumstances, including if the closing has not been consummated by September 30, 2019 (as that date may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement) and the delay in closing beyond such date is not due to the breach of the Transaction Agreement by the party seeking to terminate.

Conditions to Consummation of the Business Combination

Consummation of the Business Combination is subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, approval by the Company’s shareholders expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and approval by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

The foregoing description of the Transaction Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and any related agreements the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”). The Transaction Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The Transaction Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or any other party to the Transaction Agreement. In particular, the


representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Transaction Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Transaction Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Transaction Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Transaction Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Transaction Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Transaction Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

Support Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a Support Agreement with Accel concurrently upon the execution of the Transaction Agreement. Under the Support Agreement, Accel agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Sellers who are party to the Transaction Agreement in complying with certain covenants contained therein, and the parties agree to certain expense reimbursement arrangements payable under certain circumstances upon termination of the Transaction Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Support Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

Governance

Upon the closing of the Stock Purchase, the Company will have a board (the “ Company Board ”) that will consist of seven directors: one executive director and six non-executive directors. One director will be designated by Accel, one director will be Karl Peterson, one director will be the Chief Executive Officer of Accel (Andrew Rubenstein), and there will be four independent directors. Each member of the Company Board will be elected to serve for such term as will be provided in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company to be in effect in connection with the consummation of the Stock Purchase. Each of the Company directors will serve until his or her successor is appointed or, if earlier, upon such director’s resignation, removal or death.

Registrations Rights Agreement and Restricted Stock Agreement

As contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and described above, the parties will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement and a Restricted Stock Agreement at the closing of the Stock Purchase.

Private Placement Subscription Agreements

In connection with the Business Combination, on June 13, 2019, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “ Subscription Agreements ”) with certain investors (the “ General Investors ”), including an affiliate of the Company (the “ Pace Affiliate ” and, together with the General Investors, the “ Private Placement Investors ”) pursuant to which the Private Placement Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase and the Company agreed to issue and sell to such Private Placement Investors 4,403,132 shares of New Parent Class A-1 Stock for a purchase price of $10.22 per share, or an aggregate of approximately $45 million. The Subscription Agreement which the Pace Affiliate entered into is substantially similar to the Subscription Agreements with the General Investors except for the following provisions: (a) the Pace Affiliate may assign its rights under the Subscription Agreement, subject to compliance with the securities laws and (b) the Pace Affiliate is not entitled to liquidated damages if there is a delay in the registration of the securities. The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to fund a portion of the cash consideration required to effect the Stock Purchase.

The closings under the Subscription Agreements will occur substantially concurrently with the closing of the Stock Purchase and are conditioned thereon and on other customary closing conditions. Each Subscription Agreement will terminate and be void and of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its term, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties to such Subscription Agreement, and (c) if any of the conditions to the closing set forth in such Subscription Agreement are not satisfied on or prior to such closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements are not consummated at the closing of the Stock Purchase. As of the date hereof, the New Parent Class A-1 Stock to be issued in connection with the Subscription Agreements has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated


thereunder. The Company has agreed, among other things, to register the resale of the New Parent Class A-1 Stock pursuant to a registration statement to be filed with the SEC within 30 days after consummation of the Stock Purchase and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. The Subscription Agreements also contain other customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties thereto.

The foregoing summary of the Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Subscription Agreements, the forms of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “ Current Report ”) is incorporated by reference herein.

Holders of record of Company Stock who hold such Company Stock as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities may submit a separate Form of Cash Election Agreement on or before the Election Deadline with respect to each beneficial owner for whom such nominee, trustee or representative holds such Company Stock.

The time period between such mailing date and the Election Deadline is referred to herein as the “ Election Period ”.

(c) Any Cash Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, during the Election Period, a Cash Election Agreement and Letter of Transmittal properly completed and signed together with any additional documents specified in the procedures set forth in the Cash Election Agreement and Letter of Transmittal. As used herein, unless otherwise agreed in advance by the parties, “ Election Deadline ” means 5:00 p.m. local time (in the city in which the principal office of the Exchange Agent is located) on the earliest practicable date which the parties shall agree, but in any event, no less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the S-4 Registration / Proxy Statement is declared effective by the SEC.

(e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Cash Election Agreement and the Letter of Transmittal, Parent, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion (in consultation with the Company), shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing the validity of the Forms of Cash Election Agreement, Letters of Transmittal and compliance by any Company Holder with the Cash Election procedures set forth herein.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, following the application of Section  2.5(a) , the aggregate amount of cash payments to be made pursuant to Section  2.1(a)(i) determined without regard to this Section  2.5(b) would exceed the Maximum Cash Component, then (i) the aggregate cash payments made to each Company Holder pursuant to Section  2.1(a)(i) shall be reduced by such Company Holder’s Cash Reduction Portion and (ii) the number of shares issued to each Company Holder pursuant to Section  2.1(a)(i) (each such Company Holder’s “ Adjusted Share Consideration ”) shall be increased by such Company Holder’s Share Increase Portion.

Section 8.8 Remedies .

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy expressly conferred hereby, and the exercise by a party of any one such remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other such remedy.

(b) The parties understand and agree that the covenants and undertakings on each of their parts herein contained are uniquely related to the desire of the parties and their respective Affiliates to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, that the transactions contemplated hereby represent a unique business opportunity at a unique time for each of the parties hereto and their respective Affiliates and further agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms and further agree that, although monetary damages may be available for the breach of such covenants and undertakings, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor.

(c) The remedies available to the parties hereto pursuant to this Section  8.8 shall be in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity. To the extent any party hereto brings an action, suit or proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an action to enforce specifically any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement) when expressly available to such party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the resolution of such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, suit or proceeding.

79


(i) to take all action necessary or desirable in connection with the waiver of any condition to the obligations of the Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement to which the Sellers are or will be a party;

(ii) to negotiate, execute and deliver all ancillary agreements, statements, certificates, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement to which the Sellers are or will be a party (it being understood that such Seller shall execute and deliver any such documents which the Shareholder Representatives agree to execute);

(iii) to give and receive all notices and communications to be given or received under this Agreement and to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(iv) to take all actions which under this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement to which the Sellers are or will be a party, and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, may be taken by the Sellers and to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Sellers which the Shareholder Representatives deem necessary or appropriate in their sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement to which the Sellers are or will be a party, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, as fully and completely as such Seller could do if personally present.

(b) The Shareholder Representatives will not be liable to the Sellers for any action taken or omitted by him as permitted under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except if such action is taken or omitted in bad faith, by willful misconduct or due to gross negligence. The Shareholder Representatives will also be fully protected against the Sellers in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that he in good faith believes to be genuine (including facsimiles thereof).

(c) The Sellers agree to indemnify the Shareholder Representatives for, and to hold the Shareholder Representatives harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Shareholder Representatives, arising out of or in connection with the Shareholder Representatives carrying out their duties under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including costs and expenses of successfully defending the Shareholder Representatives against any claim of liability with respect thereto. The Shareholder Representatives may consult with counsel of their own choice and will have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken and suffered by them in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

 

80


(d) In acting hereunder, the Shareholder Representatives shall act on behalf of all Sellers and not on behalf of any one Seller. All decisions, actions, consents and instructions by the Shareholder Representatives shall be binding upon all of the Sellers, and no Seller or equityholder of the Company shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. Any Person, including for the avoidance of doubt, Parent, shall be entitled to unconditionally rely on any decision, action, omission, consent, instruction of, or any document executed by, the Shareholder Representatives under or pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as being the fully and unconditionally authorized and binding decision, action, omission, consent, instruction or document execution of the Sellers so that they will be legally bound thereby, and each such Person shall have no duty to investigate or inquire as to the authorization of such Shareholder Representatives to so act. Each such Person is hereby relieved from any liability to any other Person for acts done by them in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representatives, and the Shareholder Representatives shall hold any such Person harmless for any liabilities such Person may incur while acting in reliance on any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholder Representatives.

(f) Subject to this Section  8.15 , the appointment of each Shareholder Representative hereunder is coupled with an interest and therefore is irrevocable and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of any Seller, and any action taken by the Shareholder Representatives pursuant to the authority granted in this Section  8.15 shall be effective and absolutely binding as the action of the Shareholder Representatives; provided , however, that all of the rights and obligations of the Shareholder Representatives hereunder may be assigned by the Shareholder Representatives to any successor-in-interest of the Shareholder Representatives.

Section 8.16 Effectiveness . This Agreement shall become effective (a) upon the execution and delivery hereof by all parties, or (b) if not all the Sellers are executing this Agreement at the same time, upon the execution and delivery hereof by each of Parent and the Shareholder Representatives, and shall be binding on the foregoing parties, and shall be binding with respect to each Seller upon the execution and delivery by such Seller of its counterpart signature page to this Agreement to the other parties.

(e) Limitation on Conversions . Except as provided in Section  2(f) , no Conversion of Class A-2 Shares into shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock shall be effected, and a Restricted Stockholder shall not be required to Convert any portion of the Class A-2 Shares into shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock if, (x) prior to giving effect to the Conversions set forth in this Section  2 , such Restricted Stockholder beneficially owns less than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and, (y) after giving effect to the Conversions set forth in this Section  2 , such Restricted Stockholder would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of clause (y)  of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock beneficially owned by such Restricted Stockholder shall include the number of shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock issuable upon Conversion of the Class A-2 Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) Conversion of the remaining, unconverted Class A-2 Shares beneficially owned by such Restricted Stockholder and (ii) exercise or conversion (or deemed exercise or conversion) of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Restricted Stockholder.

the number of shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock issued and outstanding. Additionally, upon the written request of a Restricted Stockholder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm in writing to such Restricted Stockholder the number of shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock then issued and outstanding. In any case, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Conversion of the Class A-2 Shares into shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock, since the date as of which such number of issued and outstanding shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock was reported. For purposes of this Section  2(e) , beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

(f) Regulatory Approval . Notwithstanding the Conversion limitation set forth in Section  2(e) , if and when a Restricted Stockholder has obtained all required Gaming Approvals from the applicable Gaming Authorities permitting such Restricted Stockholder to beneficially own shares of Company Class A-1 Common Stock in an amount that is in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Class A-2 Shares held by such Restricted Stockholder shall immediately Convert without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Such Restricted Stockholder shall promptly provide to the Company written copies of (i) all such Gaming Approvals upon the issuance of such Gaming Approvals by the applicable Gaming Authorities, and (ii) any modification, amendment, restriction, limitation, termination, revocation or other change to any such Gaming Approvals.

(b) the Closing Sale Price thresholds for the Company Class A-1 Common Stock as set forth in  Sections 2(a) ,  (b)  and  (c)  shall be reasonably adjusted by the “Independent Directors” (within the meaning of the listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange) of the Board from time to time following the Closing in good faith to take into account the anticipated effect of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization, merger, business combination or other similar transaction or event.

respect to the specific subject matter hereof. No waiver of or consent to any departure from any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed in writing by the party entitled to the benefit thereof, provided , that notice of any such waiver shall be given to each party hereto as set forth in Section  11 hereto.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

B. Issuance of the New Accel Warrants .

A. Organization and Corporate Power . The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or assets of the Company.

B. Authorization; No Breach .

(i) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the New Accel Warrants have been duly authorized by the Company. This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms of the Warrant Agreement and this Agreement, the New Accel Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

(ii) The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the New Accel Warrants, the issuance of the New Accel Warrants, the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of the New Accel Warrants and the fulfillment, of and compliance with, the respective terms hereof and thereof by the Company, do not and will not as of the Closing Date (a) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (b) constitute a default under, (c) result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon the Company’s share capital or assets under, (d) result in a violation of, or (e) require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice or declaration to, or filing with, any court or administrative or governmental body or agency pursuant to the certificate of incorporation of the Company (in effect on the date hereof or as may be amended prior to completion of the contemplated Public Offering), or any material law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Company is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject, except for any filings required after the date hereof under federal or state securities laws.

D. Governmental Consents . No permit, consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration to or filing with, any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement or the consummation by the Company of any other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section  3. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. As a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and issue the New Accel Warrants to the Holder, the Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

A. Organization and Requisite Authority . The Holder possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

104


B. Authorization; No Breach .

(i) This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

(ii) The execution and delivery by the Holder of this Agreement and the fulfillment of and compliance with the terms hereof by the Holder does not and shall not as of the Closing Date conflict with or result in a breach by the Holder of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Holder is subject.

C. Investment Representations .

(i) The Holder is acquiring the New Accel Warrants and, upon exercise of the New Accel Warrants, the Shares issuable upon such exercise (collectively, the “ Securities ”), for the Holder’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (as defined below).

(ii) The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).

(iii) The Holder understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Holder’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Holder set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Holder to acquire such Securities.

(iv) The Holder did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.

(v) The Holder has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Holder. The Holder has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Holder understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.

(vi) The Holder understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Holder nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

(vii) The Holder understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of [●], 2019, by and among the Company and the other parties identified therein, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. In this

 

105


regard, the Holder understands that the Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after a Business Combination, are deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule 144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Securities despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Securities can be resold only through a registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(viii) The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of risk associated with investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Holder has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Holder can afford a complete loss of its investments in the Securities.]

Section  4. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the Expiration Date (as defined in the Warrant Agreement).

Section  5. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing Date.

Section  6. Definitions. Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Transaction Agreement.

Section 7. Miscellaneous.

A. Successors and Assigns . Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the Company may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder (whether by operation of law, merger or otherwise) without the prior written consent of Holder.

B. Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

C. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, none of which need contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

D. Descriptive Headings; Interpretation . The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation.

 

106


E. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

F. Amendments . This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

G. Specific Performance . Unless this Agreement has been terminated, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that any breach by it of this Agreement shall cause the other party irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensable by money damages. Accordingly, except in the case of termination, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party of any provision of this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to seek the remedies of specific performance, injunction or other preliminary or equitable relief, without having to prove irreparable harm or actual damages. The foregoing right shall be in addition to such other rights or remedies as may be available to any party for such breach or threatened breach, including but not limited to the recovery of money damages.

3. Terms and Exercise of New Accel Warrants .

3.1 New Accel Warrant Price . Each New Accel Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such New Accel Warrant and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of Class A-1 Stock stated therein, at the price of $11.50 per share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section  4 hereof and in the last sentence of this Section  3.1 . The term “New Accel Warrant Price” as used in this Agreement shall mean the price per share at which Class A-1 Stock may be purchased at the time a New Accel Warrant is exercised. The Company in its sole discretion may lower the New Accel Warrant Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) for a period of not less than twenty (20) business days (other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, on which banks in New York City are generally open for normal business (a “ Business Day ”)), provided, that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of such reduction to Registered Holders of the New Accel Warrants and, provided further that any such reduction shall be identical among all of the New Accel Warrants.

3.2 Duration of New Accel Warrants . A New Accel Warrant may be exercised only during the period (the “ Exercise Period ”) commencing on the date that is thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the earlier to occur of: (a) the date that is five (5) years after the date of this Agreement, (b) the liquidation of the Company in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended from time to time, or (c) the Alternative Redemption Date (as defined below) (the “ Expiration Date ”); provided , however , that the exercise of any New Accel Warrant shall be subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions, as set forth in subsection 3.3.2 below, with respect to an effective registration statement. Subject to Section  6.5 hereof, except with respect to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as defined below) or the Alternative Redemption Price (as defined below) in the event of a redemption (as set forth in Section  6 hereof), each New Accel Warrant (other than in the event of a redemption) not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration of the New Accel Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided , that the Company shall provide at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of any such extension to Registered Holders of the New Accel Warrants and, provided further that any such extension shall be identical in duration among all the New Accel Warrants.

3.3 Exercise of New Accel Warrants .

3.3.1 Payment . Subject to the provisions of the New Accel Warrant and this Agreement, a New Accel Warrant, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof by surrendering it, at the office of the Warrant Agent, or at the office of its successor as Warrant Agent, together with (i) an election to purchase form, duly executed, electing to exercise such New Accel Warrants and (ii) payment in full of the New Accel Warrant Price for each full Ordinary Share as to which the New Accel Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the New Accel Warrant, the exchange of the New Accel Warrant for the Class A-1 Stock and the issuance of such Class A-1 Stock, as follows:

(a) in lawful money of the United States, in good certified check or good bank draft payable to the order of the Warrant Agent;

(b) in the event of a redemption pursuant to Section  6 hereof in which the Company’s board of directors (the “ Board ”) has elected to require all holders of the New Accel Warrants to exercise such New Accel Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by surrendering the New Accel Warrants for that number of Class A-1 Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A-1 Stock underlying

 

114


the New Accel Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Fair Market Value” (as defined in this subsection 3.3.1(b) ) over the exercise price of the New Accel Warrants by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(b), Section  6.2 and Section  6.4 , the “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A-1 Stock for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the New Accel Warrants, pursuant to Section  6 hereof;

(c) so long as such New Accel Warrant is held by the Accel Holder or a Permitted Transferee, by surrendering the New Accel Warrant for that number of Class A-1 Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A-1 Stock underlying the New Accel Warrant, multiplied by the excess of the “Fair Market Value” (as defined in this subsection 3.3.1(c) ) over the Warrant Price by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this subsection 3.3.1(c) , the “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A-1 Stock for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of exercise of the New Accel Warrant is sent to the Warrant Agent; or

(d) as provided in Section  7.4 hereof.

3.3.2 Issuance of Class  A-1 Stock on Exercise . As soon as practicable after the exercise of any New Accel Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the New Accel Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a) ), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such New Accel Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of full Class A-1 Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such New Accel Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new book-entry position or countersigned New Accel Warrant, as applicable, for the number of shares as to which such New Accel Warrant shall not have been exercised. No New Accel Warrant shall be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue Class A-1 Stock upon exercise of a New Accel Warrant unless the Class A-1 Stock issuable upon such New Accel Warrant exercise have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder of the New Accel Warrants. In the event that the condition in the immediately preceding sentence is not satisfied with respect to a New Accel Warrant, the holder of such New Accel Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such New Accel Warrant and such New Accel Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any New Accel Warrant. If, by reason of any exercise of warrants on a “cashless basis”, the holder of any New Accel Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such New Accel Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, the Company shall round down to the nearest whole number, the number of Class A-1 Stock to be issued to such holder.

3.3.3 Valid Issuance . All Class A-1 Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

3.3.4 Date of Issuance . Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for Class A-1 Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Class A-1 Stock on the date on which the New Accel Warrant, or book-entry position representing such New Accel Warrant, was surrendered and payment of the New Accel Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate in the case of a certificated New Accel Warrant, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the share transfer books of the Company or book-entry system of the Warrant Agent are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books or book-entry system are open.

3.3.5 Maximum Percentage . A holder of a New Accel Warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions contained in this subsection 3.3.5 ; however , no holder of a New Accel Warrant shall be subject to this subsection 3.3.5 unless he, she or it makes such election. If the election is made by a holder, the Warrant Agent shall not effect the exercise of the holder’s New Accel Warrant, and such holder shall not have the right to exercise such New Accel Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the Warrant Agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the Class A-1 Stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Class A-1 Stock beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates shall include the number of Class A-1 Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Accel Warrant with respect to which the determination of

 

115


such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Class A-1 Stock that would be issuable upon (x) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the New Accel Warrant beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates and (y) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred shares or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”). For purposes of the New Accel Warrant, in determining the number of issued and outstanding Class A-1 Stock, the holder may rely on the number of issued and outstanding Class A-1 Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly report on Form 10-Q, current report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Class A-1 Stock issued and outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of the holder of the New Accel Warrant, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of Class A-1 Stock then issued and outstanding. In any case, the number of issued and outstanding Class A-1 Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of equity securities of the Company by the holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of issued and outstanding Class A-1 Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the holder of a New Accel Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage applicable to such holder to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided , however , that any such increase shall not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company.

4. Adjustments .

4.1 Share Dividends .

4.1.1 Split-Ups . If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section  4.6 below, the number of issued and outstanding Class A-1 Stock is increased by a capitalization of Class A-1 Stock, or by a split-up of Class A-1 Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of Class A-1 Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the issued and outstanding Class A-1 Stock. A rights offering to holders of Class A-1 Stock entitling holders to purchase Class A-1 Stock at a price less than the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below) shall be deemed a capitalization of a number of Class A-1 Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of Class A-1 Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for the Class A-1 Stock) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.1 , (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A-1 Stock, in determining the price payable for Class A-1 Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the Class A-1 Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A-1 Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

4.1.2 Extraordinary Dividends . If the Company, at any time while the New Accel Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Class A-1 Stock on account of such Class A-1 Stock (or other shares of the Company’s share capital into which the New Accel Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described in subsection 4.1.1 above, or (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below), (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “ Extraordinary Dividend ”), then the New Accel Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Board, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each Ordinary Share in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 4.1.2 , “ Ordinary Cash Dividends ” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Class A-1 Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section  4 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the New Accel Warrant Price or to the number of Class A-1 Stock issuable on exercise of each New Accel Warrant) does not exceed $0.50.

 

116


4.2 Aggregation of Shares . If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions of Section  4.6 hereof, the number of issued and outstanding Class A-1 Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of Class A-1 Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of Class A-1 Stock issuable on exercise of each New Accel Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in issued and outstanding Class A-1 Stock.

4.3 Adjustments in Exercise Price . Whenever the number of Class A-1 Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the New Accel Warrants is adjusted, as provided in subsection 4.1.1 or Section  4.2 above, the New Accel Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such New Accel Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A-1 Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the New Accel Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of Class A-1 Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

4.4 Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc . In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding Class A-1 Stock (other than a change under Section  4.1. or Section  4.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Class A-1 Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding Class A-1 Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the New Accel Warrants shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the New Accel Warrants and in lieu of the Class A-1 Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the New Accel Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised his, her or its New Accel Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event (the “ Alternative Issuance ” ); provided , however , that (i) if the holders of the Class A-1 Stock were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets constituting the Alternative Issuance for which each New Accel Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of the Class A-1 Stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and (ii) if a tender, exchange or redemption offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the Class A-1 Stock under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the issued and outstanding Class A-1 Stock, the holder of a New Accel Warrant shall be entitled to receive as the Alternative Issuance, the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such New Accel Warrant holder had exercised the New Accel Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Class A-1 Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section  4 ; provided , further , that if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of the Class A-1 Stock in the applicable event is payable in the form of capital stock or shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the Registered Holder properly exercises the New Accel Warrant within thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the consummation of such applicable event by the Company pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission, the New Accel Warrant Price shall be reduced by an amount (in dollars) equal to the difference of (i) the New Accel Warrant Price in effect prior to such reduction minus (ii) (A) the Per Share Consideration (as defined below) (but in no event less than zero) minus (B) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as

 

117


defined below). The “Black-Scholes Warrant Value” means the value of a New Accel Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the applicable event based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Model for a Capped American Call on Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”). For purposes of calculating such amount, (1)  Section  6 of this Agreement shall be taken into account, (2) the price of each Ordinary Share shall be the volume weighted average price of the Class A-1 Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event, (3) the assumed volatility shall be the 90 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg determined as of the trading day immediately prior to the day of the announcement of the applicable event, and (4) the assumed risk-free interest rate shall correspond to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of the New Accel Warrant. “Per Share Consideration” means (i) if the consideration paid to holders of the Class A-1 Stock consists exclusively of cash, the amount of such cash per Ordinary Share, and (ii) in all other cases, the volume weighted average price of the Class A-1 Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the effective date of the applicable event. If any reclassification or reorganization also results in a change in Class A-1 Stock covered by subsection 4.1.1, then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to subsection 4.1.1 or Sections 4.2 , 4.3 and this Section  4.4 . The provisions of this Section  4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In no event will the New Accel Warrant Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of such New Accel Warrant.

4.5 Notices of Changes in New Accel Warrant . Upon every adjustment of the New Accel Warrant Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the New Accel Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Class A-1 Stock purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1 , 4.2 , 4.3 or 4.4 , the Company shall give written notice of the occurrence of such event to each holder of a Warrant, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

4.6 No Fractional Shares . Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional Class A-1 Stock upon the exercise of New Accel Warrants. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section  4 , the holder of any New Accel Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such New Accel Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of Class A-1 Stock to be issued to such holder.

4.7 Form of New Accel Warrant . The form of New Accel Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment pursuant to this Section  4 , and New Accel Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same New Accel Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the New Accel Warrants initially issued pursuant to this Agreement; provided , however , that the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of New Accel Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof, and any New Accel Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding New Accel Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.

4.8 Other Events . In case any event shall occur affecting the Company as to which none of the provisions of the preceding subsections of this Section  4 are strictly applicable, but which would require an adjustment to the terms of the New Accel Warrants in order to (i) avoid an adverse impact on the New Accel Warrants and (ii) effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section  4 , then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent public accountants, investment banking or other appraisal firm of recognized national standing, which shall give its opinion as to whether or not any adjustment to the rights represented by the New Accel Warrants is necessary to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Section  4 and, if they determine that an adjustment is necessary, the terms of such adjustment. The Company shall adjust the terms of the New Accel Warrants in a manner that is consistent with any adjustment recommended in such opinion.

5. Transfer and Exchange of New Accel Warrants .

5.1 Registration of Transfer . The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding New Accel Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such New Accel Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new New Accel Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of New Accel Warrants shall be issued and the old New Accel Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. The New Accel Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.

5.2 Procedure for Surrender of New Accel Warrants . New Accel Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder of the New Accel Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of New Accel Warrants; provided , however , that in the event that a New Accel Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such New Accel Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange thereof until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

5.3 Fractional Warrants . The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which shall result in the issuance of a warrant certificate or book-entry position for a fraction of a warrant.

5.4 Service Charges . No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of the New Accel Warrants.

5.5 Warrant Execution and Countersignature . The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the New Accel Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section  5 , and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, shall supply the Warrant Agent with the New Accel Warrants duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

The exact Fair Market Value and Redemption Date (as defined below) may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the Fair Market Value is between two values in the table or the Redemption Date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of Class A-1 Stock to be issued for each New Accel Warrant redeemed will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower Fair Market Values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

6.3 Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption . In the event that the Company elects to redeem all of the New Accel Warrants pursuant to Section 6.1, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption (the “ Redemption Date ”). In the event that the Company elects to redeem all of the New Accel Warrants pursuant to Section  6.2 , the Company shall fix a date for redemption (the “ Alternative Redemption Date ”). Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date (such 30-day period, the “ Redemption Period ”) to the Registered Holders of the New Accel Warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Registered Holder received such notice.

6.4 Exercise After Notice of Redemption . The New Accel Warrants may be exercised, for cash (or on a “cashless basis” in accordance with subsection 3.3.1(b) of this Agreement) at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section  6.3 hereof and prior to the Redemption Date. In the event that the Company determines to require all holders of Warrants to exercise their Warrants on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1 , the notice of redemption shall contain the information necessary to calculate the number of Class A-1 Stock to be received upon exercise of the New Accel Warrants, including the “ Fair Market Value ” (as such term is defined in subsection 3.3.1(b) hereof) in such case. On and after the Redemption Date, the record holder of the New Accel Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the New Accel Warrants, the Redemption Price or the Alternative Redemption Price, as applicable.

6.5 Redemption Exclusions . The Company agrees that the redemption rights provided in this Section  6.1 and 6.2 shall not apply to the New Accel Warrants if at the time of the redemption such New Accel Warrants continue to be held by the Accel Holder or its Permitted Transferees. However , once such New Accel Warrants are transferred (other than to Permitted Transferees under Section  2.6 ), the Company may redeem the New Accel Warrants pursuant to Section  6.1 or 6.2 , provided that the criteria for redemption are met, including the opportunity of the holder of such New Accel Warrants to exercise the New Accel Warrants prior to redemption pursuant to Section  6.4 .

7. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of New Accel Warrants .

7.1 No Rights as Shareholder . A New Accel Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

7.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed New Accel Warrants . If any New Accel Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated New Accel Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new New Accel Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the New Accel Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new New Accel Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed New Accel Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

7.3 Reservation of Class  A-1 Stock . The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued Class A-1 Stock that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.

7.4 Registration of Class  A-1 Stock . The Company agrees that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, it shall use its best efforts to file with the Commission a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), of the Class A-1 Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Accel Warrants. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the New Accel Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 60th Business Day following the date of this Agreement, holders of the New Accel Warrants shall have the right, during the period beginning on the 61st Business Day after the date of this Agreement and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the Commission, and during any other period when the Company shall fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the Class A-1 Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Accel Warrants, to exercise such New Accel Warrants on a “cashless basis,” by exchanging the New Accel Warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption) for that number of Class A-1 Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A-1 Stock underlying the New Accel Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below) over the exercise price of the New Accel Warrants by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this Section  7.4 , “Fair Market Value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A-1 Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date that notice of exercise is received by the Warrant Agent from the holder of such New Accel Warrants or its securities broker or intermediary. The date that notice of “cashless exercise” is received by the Warrant Agent shall be conclusively determined by the Warrant Agent. For the avoidance of any doubt, unless and until all of the New Accel Warrants have been exercised, the Company shall continue to be obligated to comply with its registration obligations under the first three sentences of this Section  7.4 .

8. Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters .

8.1 Payment of Taxes . The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of Class A-1 Stock upon the exercise of the New Accel Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the New Accel Warrants or such shares.

If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of a New Accel Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its New Accel Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the holder of the New Accel Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.

8.2.2 Notice of Successor Warrant Agent . In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the Transfer Agent for the Class A-1 Stock not later than the effective date of any such appointment.

8.2.3 Merger or Consolidation of Warrant Agent . Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further act.

8.3 Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent .

8.3.1 Remuneration . The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as such Warrant Agent hereunder and shall, pursuant to its obligations under this Agreement, reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.

8.3.2 Further Assurances . The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.

8.4 Liability of Warrant Agent .

8.4.1 Reliance on Company Statement . Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Chairman of the Board of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

122


8.4.2 Indemnity . The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

8.4.3 Exclusions . The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of the New Accel Warrant (except its countersignature thereof). The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or the New Accel Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible to make any adjustments required under the provisions of Section  4 hereof or responsible for the manner, method, or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Class A-1 Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or the New Accel Warrant or as to whether any Class A-1 Stock shall, when issued, be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.

8.5 Acceptance of Agency . The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth and among other things, shall account promptly to the Company with respect to the New Accel Warrants exercised and concurrently account for, and pay to the Company, all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of Class A-1 Stock through the exercise of the New Accel Warrants.

The Warrant Agent hereby waives any and all Claims against the Trust Account and any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account.

The period of time during which Parent is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “ Registration Period .”

(b) advise the Shareholders within five (5) business days:

(i) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(iv) of the receipt by Parent of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(v) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Parent shall not, when so advising the Shareholders of such events, provide the Shareholders with any material, nonpublic information regarding Parent other than to the extent that providing notice to the Shareholders of the occurrence of the events listed in (i) through (v) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding Parent;

(c) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(d) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as Parent is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Acquired Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

6


(e) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Existing Parent Class A Shares issued by Parent have been listed; and

(f) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby and to enable the Shareholders to sell the Acquired Shares under Rule 144.

7.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Shareholders not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Parent or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event Parent’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by Parent in the Registration Statement of material information that Parent has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Parent’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “ Suspension Event ”); provided , that, Parent may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Parent of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, each Shareholder agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until such Shareholder receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Parent agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Parent that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Parent unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Parent, each Shareholder will deliver to Parent or, in such Shareholder’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in such Shareholder’s possession; provided , that, this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent such Shareholder is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

7.4 Each Shareholder may deliver written notice (including via email) (an “ Opt-Out Notice ”) to Parent requesting that such Shareholder not receive notices from Parent otherwise required by this Section  7 ; provided , that, such Shareholder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Shareholder (unless subsequently revoked), (i) Parent shall not deliver any such notices to such Shareholder and such Shareholder shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to such Shareholder’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, such Shareholder will notify Parent in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section  7.4 ) and the related suspension period remains in effect, Parent will so notify such Shareholder, within one (1) business day of such Shareholder’s notification to Parent, by delivering to such Shareholder a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide such Shareholder with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

Subject to the terms of the Transaction Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction, all rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to any of the Shareholders’ Subject Securities shall remain vested in and belong to the Shareholders prior to the Closing.

13. Miscellaneous .

13.1 Severability . If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

13.2 Assignment . Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties.

Any assignment in violation of this Section  13.2 shall be void.

13.3 Amendment; Modification . This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time only by written agreement of the parties.

The parties acknowledge that the rights of each party set forth herein are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that such non-breaching party shall have the right

 

9


to enforce its rights and the other party’s obligations hereunder by an action or actions for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting of bond or other security), including any order, injunction or decree sought by such non-breaching party to cause the other party to perform its/their respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and to cure breaches of this Agreement. Each party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for any such equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

13.5 Notices . All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered in person or, by facsimile or by e-mail, (b) on the next Business Day when sent by overnight courier, or (c) on the second succeeding Business Day when sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

F.

7. Registration Rights .

7.1 Parent agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction (the “ Filing Date ”), Parent will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) (at Parent’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of New Parent Class A-1 Stock issued to the Shareholders pursuant to the Transaction Agreement (the “ Acquired Shares ” and such registration statement, the “ Registration Statement ”), and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the Commission notifies Parent that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) the 10th business day after the date Parent is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “ Effectiveness Date ”); provided, that, Parent’s obligations to include the Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Shareholders furnishing in writing to Parent such information regarding each such Shareholder, the securities of Parent held by such Shareholder and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by Parent to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, and each Shareholder shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Parent may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Parent shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder. For purposes of clarification, any failure by Parent to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve Parent of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section  7 .

7.2 In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by Parent pursuant to this Agreement, Parent shall, upon reasonable request, inform such Shareholder as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense, Parent shall:

(a) except for such times as Parent is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which Parent determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Shareholders, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) the Shareholders cease to hold any Acquired Shares, (ii) the date all Acquired Shares held by the Shareholders may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Parent to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) three years from the Effective Date of the Registration Statement. The period of time during which Parent is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “ Registration Period .”

 

5


(b) advise the Shareholders within five (5) business days:

(i) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(iv) of the receipt by Parent of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(v) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Parent shall not, when so advising the Shareholders of such events, provide the Shareholders with any material, nonpublic information regarding Parent other than to the extent that providing notice to the Shareholders of the occurrence of the events listed in (i) through (v) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding Parent;

(c) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(d) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as Parent is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Acquired Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(e) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Existing Parent Class A Shares issued by Parent have been listed; and

 

6


(f) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby and to enable the Shareholders to sell the Acquired Shares under Rule 144.

7.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Shareholders not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Parent or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event Parent’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by Parent in the Registration Statement of material information that Parent has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Parent’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “ Suspension Event ”); provided , that, Parent may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Parent of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, each Shareholder agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until such Shareholder receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Parent agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Parent that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Parent unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Parent, each Shareholder will deliver to Parent or, in such Shareholder’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in such Shareholder’s possession; provided , that, this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent such Shareholder is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

7.4 Each Shareholder may deliver written notice (including via email) (an “ Opt-Out Notice ”) to Parent requesting that such Shareholder not receive notices from Parent otherwise required by this Section  7 ; provided , that, such Shareholder may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Shareholder (unless subsequently revoked), (i) Parent shall not deliver any such notices to such Shareholder and such Shareholder shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to such Shareholder’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, such Shareholder will notify Parent in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section  7.4 ) and the related suspension period remains in effect, Parent will so notify such Shareholder, within one (1) business day of such Shareholder’s notification to Parent, by delivering to such Shareholder a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide such Shareholder with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

If such Shareholder, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives receives any inquiry or proposal with respect to an Alternative Transaction at any time prior to the Closing, then such Shareholder shall promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after such Shareholder becomes aware of such inquiry or proposal) (A) advise the Parent Parties orally and in writing of such inquiry or proposal (including the identity of the Person making such inquiry or submitting such proposal, and the terms thereof), (B) provide the Parent Parties a copy of such inquiry or proposal, if in writing, and (C) notify such Person in writing that the Company is subject to an exclusivity agreement with respect to the sale of the Company or its Subsidiaries that prohibits them from considering such inquiry or proposal.

11. No Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture . This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship between the Shareholders and the Parent Parties and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between the parties hereto.

13. Miscellaneous .

13.1 Severability . If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

13.3 Amendment; Modification . This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time only by written agreement of the parties.

13.4 Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief . The parties acknowledge that the rights of each party set forth herein are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that such non-breaching party shall have the right to enforce its rights and the other party’s obligations hereunder by an action or actions for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting of bond or other security), including any order, injunction or decree sought by such non-breaching party to cause the other party to perform its/their respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and to cure breaches of this Agreement.

Upon receipt of the Demand Registration Notice, if the Company has not already caused the Registrable Shares to be registered on a Shelf Registration that the Company then has on file with, and has been declared effective by, the SEC and which remains in effect and not subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC (in which event the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its registration obligation under this Section  2.1 ), then the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the Demand Registration Notice, but in no event more than forty-five (45) calendar days (or thirty (30) calendar days in the case of an S-3 Registration pursuant to Section  2.3(ii) ) following receipt of such notice, a registration statement and related prospectus that complies as to form and substance in all material respects with applicable SEC rules providing for the sale by such Demanding Holder, and any other Holders that elect to register their Registrable Shares as provided below, of all of the Registrable Shares requested to be registered by such Holders (the “ Demand Registration Statement ”), and agrees (subject to Sections 5.1 and 6.2 hereof) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Demand Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC (i) with respect to the first such Demand Registration Statement, within six (6) months after the Effective Date, and (ii) with respect to subsequent Demand Registration Statements, upon, or as soon as practicable following, the filing thereof. The Company shall give written notice of the proposed filing of the Demand Registration Statement to all Holders holding Registrable Shares as soon as practicable (but in no event less than five (5) calendar days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to participate in such Demand Registration Statement (the “ Offer Notice ”) and to register such number of Registrable Shares as each such Holder may request. Holders who wish to include their Registrable Shares in the Demand Registration Statement must notify the Company in writing within three (3) calendar days of receiving the Offer Notice and include in such written notice the information requested by the Company in the Offer Notice. Subject to Section  5.1 hereof, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Demand Registration Statement continuously effective (including the preparation and filing of any amendments and supplements necessary for that purpose) until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Shares held by the Holders that are registered for resale under the Demand Registration Statement are eligible for immediate sale in a single transaction pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”) without volume or other restrictions or limitations under Rule 144 and (ii) the date on which the Holders consummate the sale of all of the Registrable Shares registered for resale under the Demand Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not obligated to take any action upon receipt of a Demand Registration Notice delivered within ninety (90) days of a prior Demand Registration Notice.

Any Registrable Shares excluded or withdrawn from such underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the registration.

2.2 Withdrawal of Exercise of Demand Rights . If, at any time after delivering a Demand Registration Notice and prior to the effective date of the Demand Registration Statement filed in connection with such Demand Registration, the Demanding Holder shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed Demand Registration, such Demanding Holder may at its election give written notice of such determination to the Company and the Holders and thereupon the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Shares in connection with such Demand Registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses incurred in connection therewith).

(i) A Demanding Holder shall be permitted to request that any registration under this Section  2 be made on a form of registration permitting the offer and sale of Registrable Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act (such registration, a “ Shelf Registration ”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Shelf Registration and to keep it continuously effective until such date on which the Shares covered by such Shelf Registration are no longer Registrable Shares. During the period that the Shelf Registration is effective, the Company shall supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act or if reasonably requested by a Demanding Holder or an underwriter of Registrable Shares to be sold pursuant thereto, including to reflect any specific plan of distribution or method of sale, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such supplements and amendments declared effective, if required, as soon as practicable after filing.

(ii) With respect to a Demand Registration Notice to be delivered at any time after the first date on which the Company is eligible to file a registration statement filed under the Securities Act on Form S-3 or such similar or successor form as may be appropriate (an “ S-3 Registration ”), a Demanding Holder may include in the Demand Registration Notice a request that the Company effect an S-3 Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown within ninety (90) days after the closing of a prior Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

(iv) Any requests for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (a “ Takedown Request Notice ”). The Takedown Request Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Shares to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Within five (5) days after receipt of any Takedown Request Notice, the Company shall give written notice of the requested Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “ Takedown Offer Notice ”) to all other Holders (other than the Initial Holders and each of their Permitted Transferees) and, subject to the provisions of  Section  2.3(v)  hereof, shall include in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within three (3) days after sending the Takedown Offer Notice.

(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section  2.3 , if the underwriter advises the Company that in the opinion of such underwriter, the distribution of all of the Registrable Shares requested to be sold in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown would materially and adversely affect the distribution of all of the securities to be underwritten, then (i) the Company shall deliver to the participating Holders a copy of such underwriter’s opinion, which opinion shall be in writing and shall state the reasons for such opinion, and (ii) the number of Registrable Shares that may be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be allocated (A) first, to the Holders electing to sell their Registrable Shares on a pro rata basis based on the relative number of Registrable Shares requested by each such Holder to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; and (B) second, to the other persons proposing to sell securities in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, if any; provided , however , that the number of Registrable Shares to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall not be reduced unless all other securities are entirely excluded from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

2.4 Selection of Underwriter . A Demanding Holder or a Demanding Takedown Holder shall have the right to select the underwriter or underwriters to administer any underwritten Demand Registration offering or Underwritten Shelf Takedown under a Demand Registration Statement, including any Shelf Registration or S-3 Registration; provided that such underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.

2.5 Block Trades . Notwithstanding anything contained in this  Section 2 , in the event of a sale of Registrable Shares in an underwritten transaction requiring the involvement of the Company but not involving (i) any “road show” or (ii) a lock-up agreement of more than sixty (60) days to which the Company is a party, and which is commonly known as a “block trade” (a “ Block Trade ”), (1) the Demanding Holder or Demanding Takedown Holder, as applicable, shall (i) give at least five (5) Business Days prior notice in writing (the “ Block Trade Notice ”) of such

transaction to the Company and (ii) identify the potential underwriter(s) in such notice with contact information for such underwriter(s); and (2) the Company shall cooperate with such requesting Holder or Holders, to the extent it is reasonably able to, to effect such Block Trade. The Company shall give written notice (the “ Block Trade Offer Notice ”) of the proposed Block Trade to all Holders holding Registrable Shares as soon as practicable (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of the Block Trade Notice), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to participate in such Block Trade by providing written notice of intent to so participate within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Block Trade Offer Notice. Any Block Trade shall be for at least $10 million in expected gross proceeds. The Company shall not be required to effectuate more than two (2) Block Trades in any 90-day period. For the avoidance of doubt, a Block Trade shall not constitute an Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Shares being sold in any Block Trade shall select the underwriter(s) to administer such Block Trade; provided that such underwriter(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.

provided , however , that a Holder shall only be liable under the indemnity provided pursuant to Sections 7.1 through 7.3 with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or expense to the extent arising out of (A) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished to the

 

19


Company by such Holder expressly for use in the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (within the meaning of Rule 433 of the Securities Act), the General Disclosure Package (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (B) such Holder’s failure to deliver an amended or supplemental Prospectus furnished to such Holder by the Company, if required by Law to have been delivered, if such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense would not have arisen had such delivery occurred.

7.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . An indemnified party hereunder (the “ Indemnified Party ”) shall give reasonably prompt notice to the indemnifying party (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party (i) shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnity provisions of Section  7.1 or 7.2 above, unless and only to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and the lack of notice by the Indemnified Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of substantial rights and defenses, and (ii) shall not, in any event, relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party other than the indemnification obligation provided under Section  7.1 or 7.2 above. If the Indemnifying Party so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of such action or proceeding at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense with counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such action or proceeding without the written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement, compromise or consent secures the unconditional release of the Indemnified Party; and provided , further , that, if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists where it is advisable for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of such action or proceeding as a result of the second proviso to the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party’s counsel shall be entitled to conduct the Indemnifying Party’s defense and counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of the Indemnified Party, it being understood that both such counsel will cooperate with each other to conduct the defense of such action or proceeding as efficiently as possible. If the Indemnifying Party is not so entitled to assume the defense of such action or does not assume such defense, after having received the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party. In such event, however, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If an Indemnifying Party is entitled to assume, and assumes, the defense of such action or proceeding in accordance with this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party incurred thereafter in connection with such action or proceeding.

7.4 Contribution .

(i) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Sections 7.1 through 7.3 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the Indemnified Party although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Indemnifying Party on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.

(ii) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section  7.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section  7.4 , a Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount (together with the amount of any indemnification payments made by such Holder pursuant to Section  7.2 ) in excess of the amount of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by such Holder from sales of the Registrable Shares of such Holder under the Registration Statement that is the subject of the indemnification claim.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section  7.4 , each person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act, and any of their partners, members, officers, directors, trustees, employees or representatives, shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed a Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

SECTION 8. EXPENSES

(iv) provide notice in writing to each Holder that, at such time, has one or more designees on the Board of the beginning and ending of any “blackout period” in connection with the Company’s publicly available issuances from time to time of earnings releases for fiscal quarter or fiscal years.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder will be permitted to disclose any information or other material disclosed to or received by it hereunder and not be required to provide the aforementioned notice, if such disclosure is in connection with (i) such Holder’s reporting obligations pursuant to Section 13 or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act or (ii) a routine audit by a regulatory or self-regulatory authority that maintains jurisdiction over the Holder; provided , however , that such Holder agrees, in the case of (ii) in the preceding clause, to undertake to file an appropriate request seeking to have any information disclosed in connection with such routine audit treated confidentially. For purposes of this Section  10.1 , “due care” means at least the same level of care that such Holder would use to protect the confidentiality of its own sensitive or proprietary information. This Section  10.1 shall not apply to information that is or becomes publicly available (other than to a person who by breach of this Agreement has caused such information to become publicly available).

WHEREAS, the Issuer, each of the persons set forth on Schedule 1 to the Transaction Agreement (collectively, the “ Sellers ”), and each of David Ruttenberg and Gordon Rubenstein, each in their capacity as a Shareholder Representative, entered into that certain Transaction Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2019 (as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Transaction Agreement ”) pursuant to which upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Issuer shall acquire, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of Accel Entertainment, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“ Accel ”) held by the Sellers, following the Closing, Accel shall merge with and into New Pace LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Issuer (“ NewCo ”), with NewCo surviving such merger (the “ Merger ”) (NewCo, in its capacity as surviving company of the Merger, is sometimes referred to as the “ Surviving NewCo ”), as a result of which, Surviving NewCo will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “ Transaction ”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Issuer that number of shares of the New Parent Class A-1 Stock, set forth on the signature page hereto (the “ Acquired Shares ”) for a purchase price of $10.22 per share, or the aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “ Purchase Price ”), and the Issuer desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Acquired Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to the Issuer on or prior to the Closing (as defined below); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, certain other “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”)), have entered into subscription agreements with the Issuer substantially similar to this Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which such investors have agreed to purchase on the Closing Date [●] shares of New Parent Class A-1 Stock, in the aggregate, at the Purchase Price (the “ Other Subscription Agreements ”).


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Subscriber shall deliver to the Issuer at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, to be held in escrow until the Closing, the Purchase Price for the Acquired Shares by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice.

b. On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall deliver to Subscriber (i) the Acquired Shares in certificated or book entry form (at the Issuer’s election), free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable and (ii) a copy of the records of the Issuer’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”) showing Subscriber as the owner of the Acquired Shares on and as of the Closing Date. In the event the Transaction does not occur within one (1) business day of the Closing, the Issuer shall promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) return the Purchase Price to Subscriber, and any book entries or share certificates shall be deemed cancelled and any share certificates shall be promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) returned to the Issuer.

(ii) all representations and warranties of the Issuer and Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by each of the Issuer and Subscriber of each of the representations, warranties and agreements of each such party contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date;

 

2

(iv) no governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and no governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such prevention or prohibition; and

(v) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction, including the approval of the Issuer’s shareholders, shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied at the closing of the Transaction, but subject to satisfaction of such conditions as of the closing of the Transaction).

3

Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and such Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Shares.

i. Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Acquired Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber and the Issuer, and the Acquired Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the Issuer.

9


Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 5.

b. The Issuer further agrees that, in the event that (i) the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date, (ii) after such Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, (A) such Registration Statement ceases for any reason (including by reason of a stop order, or the Issuer’s failure to update the Registration Statement), to remain continuously effective as to all Acquired Shares for which it is required to be effective or (B) Subscriber is not permitted to utilize the Registration Statement to resell the Acquired Shares (in each case of (A) and (B), (x) other than within the time period(s) permitted by this Subscription Agreement and (y) excluding by reason of a post-effective amendment required in connection with the Issuer’s filing of an amendment thereto (a “ Special Grace Period ”) (which Special Grace Period shall not be treated as a Registration Default (as defined below)), or (iii) after the date six months following the Closing Date, and only in the event the Registration Statement is not effective or available to sell all Acquired Shares, the Issuer fails to file with the Commission any required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act such that it is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), as a result of which Subscribers who are not affiliates of the Issuer are unable to sell the Acquired Shares without restriction under Rule 144 (or any successor thereto) (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), a “ Registration Default ” and, for purposes of such clauses, the date on which such Registration Default occurs, a “ Default Date ”), then in addition to any other rights Subscriber may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Default Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Default Date (if the applicable Registration Default shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Registration Default is cured, the Issuer shall pay to each Subscriber an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty (“ Liquidated Damages ”), equal to 0.5% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement for any Acquired Shares held by Subscriber on the Default Date; provided, however, that if Subscriber fails to provide the Issuer with any information requested by the Issuer that is required to be provided in such Registration Statement with respect to Subscriber as set forth herein, then, for purposes of this Section 5, the Filing Date or Effectiveness Date, as applicable, for a Registration Statement with respect to Subscriber shall be extended until two (2) business days following the date of receipt by the Issuer of such required information from Subscriber; and in no event shall the Issuer be required hereunder to pay to Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement an aggregate amount that exceeds 5.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by Subscriber for its Acquired Shares. The Liquidated Damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of a Registration Default, except in the case of the first Default Date. The Issuer shall deliver the cash payment to Subscriber with respect to

 

10


any Liquidated Damages by the fifth business day after the date payable. If the Issuer fails to pay said cash payment to Subscriber in full by the fifth business day after the date payable, the Issuer will pay interest thereon at a rate of 5.0% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law, and calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days) to such Subscriber, accruing daily from the date such Liquidated Damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall preclude any Subscriber from pursuing or obtaining any available remedies at law, specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to this Section  5 in accordance with applicable law. The parties agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Liquidated Damages shall be payable to Subscriber with respect to any period during which all of such Subscriber’s Acquired Shares may be sold by Subscriber without volume or manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144 and the Issuer is in compliance with the current public information requirements under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable).

c. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Issuer shall:

(i) except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) Subscriber ceases to hold any Acquired Shares or (ii) the date all Acquired Shares held by Subscriber may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) three years from the Effective Date of the Registration Statement. The period of time during which the Issuer is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “ Registration Period ”;

(ii) advise Subscriber within five (5) business days:

(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(2) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(3) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

 

11


(4) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(5) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (5) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;

(iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Acquired Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Existing Parent Class A Shares issued by the Issuer have been listed; and

(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby and to enable Subscriber to sell the Acquired Shares under Rule 144.

d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the

 

12


non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “ Suspension Event ”); provided , however , that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

e. Subscriber may deliver written notice (including via email in accordance with Section 8(l)) (an “ Opt-Out Notice ”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by this Section  5 ; provided , however , that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Issuer shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Issuer in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section  5(e) ) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Issuer, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

6. Termination . This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its

The Issuer shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement.

Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Issuer to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of the Issuer entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future arising out of this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement.

(5) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (5) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer;

(iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Acquired Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Existing Parent Class A Shares issued by the Issuer have been listed; and

(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby and to enable Subscriber to sell the Acquired Shares under Rule 144.

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Issuer’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the

 

11


non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “ Suspension Event ”); provided , however , that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided , however , that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

d. Subscriber may deliver written notice (including via email in accordance with Section 8(l)) (an “ Opt-Out Notice ”) to the Issuer requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from the Issuer otherwise required by this Section  5 ; provided , however , that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Issuer shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify the Issuer in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section  5(d) ) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Issuer will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) business day of Subscriber’s notification to the Issuer, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Issuer to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of the Issuer entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future arising out of this Subscription Agreement, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, each of the Persons set forth on Schedule 1 to the Transaction Agreement (each a “ Seller ”, and collectively the “ Sellers ”), and each of David Ruttenberg and Gordon Rubenstein, each in their capacity as a Shareholder Representative, are entering into a Transaction Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “ Transaction Agreement ”) pursuant to which, among other things, Parent shall acquire, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding Company Stock of the Company held by the Sellers (the “ Stock Purchase ”), and following the Closing, the Company shall merge with and into New Pace LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“ NewCo ”), with NewCo surviving such merger (the “ Merger ”) (NewCo, in its capacity as surviving company of the Merger, is sometimes referred to as the “ Surviving NewCo ”), as a result of which, Surviving NewCo will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

B. The Sellers are holders of Company Stock and, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, each Seller will directly or indirectly receive substantial payment and other valuable consideration from Parent in exchange for Company Stock as specified in the Transaction Agreement, and the Company desires to assist the Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and realize such valuable consideration by entering into this Agreement.

C. Each of Parent and the Company has determined that it is in its best interests to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1. Support . The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Sellers in their compliance with the covenants as set forth in Articles I, II, IV and V of the Transaction Agreement.

2. Expense Reimbursement .

2.1 Agreement to Pay Parent Expense Reimbursement . Notwithstanding Section 7.3(a) of the Transaction Agreement, in the event that (a) there is a valid termination of the Transaction Agreement by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) of the Transaction Agreement, or (b) there is a valid termination of the Transaction Agreement by the Shareholder Representatives pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(ii) of the Transaction Agreement and Parent may have validly terminated the Transaction Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) of the Transaction Agreement, the Company shall pay to Parent an expense reimbursement fee equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Parent Transaction Expenses documented and actually incurred by Parent and its Affiliates up to a maximum amount of $1,000,000 (the “ Parent Expense Reimbursement ”).


2.2 Agreement to Pay Company Expense Reimbursement . Notwithstanding Section 7.3(a) of the Transaction Agreement, in the event that there is a valid termination of the Transaction Agreement either (x) by (i) the Shareholder Representatives pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) of the Transaction Agreement, or (ii) either the Shareholder Representatives or Parent for any reason and the Shareholder Representatives may have validly terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) of the Transaction Agreement then Parent shall pay an expense reimbursement equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Company Transaction Expenses documented and actually incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates up to a maximum amount of $1,000,000, or (y) by (i) the Shareholder Representatives pursuant to Section 7.1(c) of the Transaction Agreement, or (ii) either the Shareholder Representatives or Parent for any reason and the Shareholder Representatives may have validly terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c) of the Transaction Agreement, then Parent shall pay an expense reimbursement equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Company Transaction Expenses documented and actually incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates up to a maximum amount of $3,000,000 (such payment pursuant to either clause (x)  or (y) , the “ Company Expense Reimbursement ” and each of the Company Expense Reimbursement and the Parent Expense Reimbursement, an “ Expense Reimbursement ”); provided , that Parent shall not be required to pay the Company Expense Reimbursement pursuant to clause (y)  of this Section  2.2 if the Company has failed to use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Company’s audit which is being undertaken in connection with the filing of the S-4 Registration Statement / Proxy Statement to be completed as soon as possible, or (ii) assist Parent in the preparation and filing of the S-4 Registration Statement / Proxy Statement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Agreement (other than Section 5.6(f) thereof), the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, with respect to any termination of the Transaction Agreement in circumstances where an Expense Reimbursement is payable, the payment of the Expense Reimbursement shall, in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages, constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which the recipient(s) of the Expense Reimbursement would otherwise be entitled to assert against the liable party or its Affiliates or any of their respective assets, or against any of their respective directors, officers, employees or shareholders with respect to the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy available to such parties.

Accel Entertainment and TPG Pace Group Announce Business Combination

Accel to Become Only Pure-Play Publicly Listed Gaming-as-a-Service Provider

Expected Near-Term Organic Annual EBITDA Growth of More Than 20%

Significant Free Cash Flow and Multiple Opportunities to Accelerate Growth

Transaction Represents TPG Pace Platform’s Third Business Combination

CHICAGO, IL  & FORT WORTH, TX – June  13, 2019 – Accel Entertainment, Inc. (“Accel” or the “Company”), a leading gaming-as-a-service provider, announced today that its shareholders have entered into a definitive business combination agreement with TPG Pace Holdings Corp. (“TPG Pace”) (NYSE: TPGH, TPGH.U, TPGH.WS), a special-purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of TPG. The combined company will retain the Accel Entertainment name and will be a publicly listed company with an anticipated initial enterprise value of approximately $884 million with de minimis leverage on its balance sheet. The transaction will help accelerate Accel’s multi-state expansion plans.

Operating more than 8,000 live slot machines in over 1,700 locations, Accel is the largest video gaming terminal operator in the United States on an EBITDA basis, offering a full suite of state-of-the-art products and games from top manufacturers to bars, restaurants, gaming cafes, convenience stores and truck stops. With Accel’s turnkey gaming-as-a-service solution, local business partners can drive higher in-store foot traffic and maximize their sales per square footage, resulting in increased operating margins, earnings and local employment. Accel enters into long-term contracts with location owners and takes a partnership approach to helping its partners grow their businesses. TPG Pace expects Accel to generate more than $100 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2020.

With this transaction, Accel will be the only pure-play listed company to focus on the gaming-as-a-service opportunity. This transaction will expedite Accel’s growth strategy tied to the increasing adoption of video gaming across the United States. As a public company, Accel is expected to drive shareholder returns through its significant, highly visible earnings growth, strong free cash flow and attractive valuation relative to peers. Accel has contractual agreements representing more than $3 billion of revenue with its local operating partners, with an average remaining contract life of 7.5 years that provide a high level of recurring revenue.

Accel’s management team, led by Co-Founder and CEO Andy Rubenstein, will continue to lead the company following the close of the transaction. Gordon Rubenstein, Accel Co-Founder, will remain on the Company’s board of directors. It is contemplated that upon closing of the transaction Karl Peterson, TPG Pace President and CEO, will join the Company’s board as Chairman. Hollie Haynes, the Founder and Managing Partner of Luminate Capital Partners, and Kathleen Philips, former CFO and Chief Legal Officer of Zillow Group, will also be joining Accel’s board of directors subject to any applicable regulatory approvals.

“Accel has spent the last decade establishing itself as the gold standard in the gaming-as-a-service industry, delivering high levels of growth and profitability,” said Karl Peterson, President and CEO of TPG Pace. “This transaction is perfectly aligned with our business objectives. Not only is Accel itself a leader, but gaming-as-a-service is one of the fastest growing segments in gaming with a substantial addressable market. Andy and his team have built an outstanding company that is well positioned to continue its rapid growth. We look forward to working closely with the Accel team as they embark on their next chapter and bring this B2B solution to new markets.”

“We are extremely excited to be partnering with TPG Pace as we continue to execute on our strategic growth plan as a publicly held company,” said Andy Rubenstein, Co-Founder and CEO of Accel. “Karl and his team have an extensive track record of value creation, especially in situations where they have helped private companies with high growth potential achieve tremendous success in the public markets. With the TPG Pace team on board, we will be able to leverage their relevant insights, differentiated capabilities and operational expertise as we enter this next phase of growth for Accel. As a publicly listed company, we look forward to accessing increased capital to further support our expansion, while remaining laser focused on continuing to deliver to our current location partners the products and services they require to generate additional revenue.”

In addition, TPG Pace announced that it has raised $45 million in a private placement of common stock (the “PIPE”) at $10.22 per share. The PIPE capital commitment, as typical, is coming from the management team of TPG Pace, other partners of TPG, certain institutional investors as well as other senior industry executives from TPG’s network.

TPG Pace’s strategy is to identify and acquire businesses that are better suited to generate strong returns in a public market while benefitting from TPG’s global ecosystem. Throughout their tenure at TPG, the members of TPG Pace’s management team have led the firm’s recent efforts to sponsor companies in the public markets including independent oil producer Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (NYSE:MGY); leading owner, operator, and developer of premier all-inclusive resorts Playa Hotels & Resorts (NASDAQ:PLYA); leading travel technology and software provider Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ:SABR); global cruise ship operator Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE:NCLH); leading specialty chemical producer Kraton Corporation (NYSE: KRA); and Northern Tier Energy LP (NYSE: NTI), which was a leading downstream energy limited partnership prior its merger with Western Refining Inc.

Key Transaction Terms

The transaction will be effected pursuant to the Transaction Agreement entered into by and among TPG Pace Holdings and the shareholders of Accel (the “Sellers”). Immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction, additional investors, including affiliates of TPG Pace, will purchase ordinary shares of TPG Pace in a $45 million private placement. After giving effect to any redemptions by the public stockholders of TPG Pace, the combined balance of the cash held in TPG Pace’s trust account and proceeds from the private placement of approximately $500 million, will be used to pay existing Accel shareholders and transaction expenses, with the remaining cash on the balance sheet to be used to repay existing debt or for accretive capital deployment. Following the consummation of the transaction, TPG Pace will be renamed Accel Entertainment and its shares will remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trade using the ticker ACEL.

The consideration payable to the Accel shareholders (in addition to cash) will consist of common stock of TPG Pace and warrants to purchase common stock of TPG Pace. Accel’s founders and management team are rolling at least 80% of their current Accel stake into the newly formed company. TPG Pace’s sponsor will retain 7.3 million founder shares and approximately 4.9 million private placement warrants, as well as 2.0 million earnout shares exercisable for TPG Pace common shares. In addition, Accel shareholders who roll in excess of 30% of their shares will be entitled to their pro rata portion of 2.4 million warrants and 3.0 million earnout shares exercisable for TPG Pace common shares. The earnout shares will be exercisable upon the achievement of certain EBITDA or stock price thresholds of TPG Pace. In addition, TPG Pace’s sponsor will contribute 500,000 of its shares to a foundation created for charitable efforts in the communities in which Accel operates, or anticipates operating.

The transaction has been executed by a majority of Accel’s shareholders with the support of the board of directors of Accel and approved by the board of directors TPG Pace. The transaction is expected to close in late third quarter of 2019, subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals and the approval of the transaction by a majority of the shareholders of TPG Pace.

These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the inability to complete the transactions contemplated by the proposed business combination; (2) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, and the ability of the combined business to grow and manage growth profitably; (3) the inability to successfully retain or recruits officers, key employees, or directors following the proposed business combination; (4) effects on Pace’s public securities’ liquidity and trading; (5) the market’s reaction to the proposed business combination; (6) the lack of a market for Pace’s securities; (7) Pace’s and Accel’s financial performance following the proposed business combination; (8) costs related to the proposed business combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that Pace or Accel may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (11) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in documents filed or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Pace. Accordingly, forward-looking statements, including any projections or analysis, should not be viewed as factual and should not be relied upon as an accurate prediction of future results. The forward- looking statements contained in this presentation are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on Pace and the Accel. These forward- looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control), or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus filed by Pace with the SEC and those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Pace’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC, as well as Pace’s other filings with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Accordingly, you should not put undue reliance on these statements. Industry and Market Data In this presentation, Pace and Accel rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding market shares in the sectors in which Accel competes and other industry data. Pace and Accel obtained this information and statistics from third-party sources, including reports by market research firms. Pace and Accel have supplemented this information where necessary with information from discussions with Accel’s customers and their own internal estimates, taking into account publicly available information about other industry participants and Accel’s management’s best view as to information that is not publicly available. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow, unlevered Free Cash Flow, P/E, ROIC, and net leverage. EBITDA is calculated as revenue less gaming taxes, revenue sharing, direct operating expenses, and SG&A expenses (including anticipated public company costs). Free cash flow (FCF) is calculated as EBITDA less total capital expenditures. Accel’s net income for P/E ratios is adjusted for tax-effected route amortization expense. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Accel’s financial condition and results of operations. Pace believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate non- GAAP measures differently, and therefore the non-GAAP measures of Accel included in this presentation may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. TPG PACE HOLDINGS CORP. 2Important Information Use of Projections This presentation contains financial forecasts prepared by TPG Pace Holdings Corp. (“Pace”) with respect to certain financial metrics of Accel Entertainment, Inc. (“Accel”), including, but not limited to, revenues (gaming, other, and gross), gross profit, EBITDA, net income, net debt, net leverage, capital expenditures, M&A, organic revenue, EBITDA margin, unlevered P/E, levered P/E, FCF, and P/E. Neither Pace’s independent auditors, nor the independent registered public accounting firm of Accel, audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. The financial forecasts and projections in this presentation were prepared by Pace and not by the management of Accel, and these financial forecasts and projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Neither Pace nor Accel undertakes any commitment to update or revise the projections, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. In this presentation, certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been repeated (in each case, with an indication that the information is an estimate and is subject to the qualifications presented herein), for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective forecasts are indicative of the future performance of Pace or Accel or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as forecast, intend, seek, target, “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Such forward-looking statements include projected financial information.
