Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

 

Re:Voting and Support Agreement

 

This voting and support agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and among The Catalyst Capital Group Inc., Catalyst Fund II Parallel Limited Partnership, Catalyst Fund Limited Partnership II and Catalyst Fund Limited Partnership III (collectively, the “Supporting Party”) and Leisure Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“LACQ” and, together with the Supporting Party, the “Parties”).

 

The Supporting Party understands that concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, LACQ, GTWY Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and GTWY Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may have been, or may from time to time be, amended, modified or amended and restated, the “Merger Agreement”) contemplating, amongst other things, the merger of LACQ with and into Merger Sub, with LACQ as the surviving entity, pursuant to which, and in consideration for such merger, common shares in the capital stock of the Company (“Company Shares”) will be issued to stockholders of LACQ by way of a plan of arrangement under Section 192 of the CBCA (the “Plan of Arrangement”) in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions thereof. The Supporting Party exercises control or direction over the Company Shares set forth in Schedule A (together with any Company Shares acquired by or issued to the Supporting Party or over which the Supporting Party acquires control or direction after the date hereof, directly or indirectly, if any, the “Subject Securities”). The Supporting Party acknowledges that LACQ would not have entered into the Merger Agreement but for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Supporting Party. The Supporting Party hereby agrees to cause each registered holder of the Subject Securities (to the extent not the Supporting Party) to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

1.Voting and Other Covenants

 

The Supporting Party hereby irrevocably covenants and agrees from the date hereof until the date of termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3:

 

(a)at the Company Special Meeting (which, for the purposes of this Agreement, shall include any postponement thereof or any other meeting of shareholders of the Company pertaining to the approval of the Transactions), to cause the Subject Securities to be counted as present for purposes of establishing quorum and to exercise (or cause to be exercised) all voting rights attached to the Subject Securities in favor of the Arrangement Resolution and any other matters which are necessary, proper or advisable for the consummation of the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement and any Ancillary Agreements, including in connection with any separate vote of any sub-group of Company Shareholders that may be required to be taken and of which sub-group the Supporting Party forms a part or controls;

 

 

 

 

(b)to deliver (or cause to be delivered) on or before the third Business Day prior to the Company Special Meeting in accordance with the instructions set out in the Circular and with a copy to LACQ concurrently with such delivery, duly executed proxies directing the holder of such proxies to vote in favor of the Arrangement Resolution and any other matters which are necessary, proper or advisable for the consummation of the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement and the Ancillary Agreements;

 

(c)not to, directly or indirectly, exercise or cause to be exercised any Dissent Rights in connection with the Arrangement;

 

(d)to exercise (or cause to be exercised) all voting rights attached to the Subject Securities (i) against any action or agreement submitted for approval of the Company Shareholders that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company or Merger Sub contained in the Merger Agreement or of the Supporting Party contained in this Agreement, (ii) against any action, agreement or transaction submitted for approval to the Company Shareholders that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect in a material manner, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the timely consummation of the Arrangement or would reasonably be expected to result in any condition contained in Article X of the Merger Agreement not being satisfied, and (iii) against any change in the capital structure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries including any amendments to any of their articles, by-laws or other constating documents (other than pursuant to the Merger Agreement);

 

(e)not to option, sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, grant a security interest in, hypothecate or otherwise convey or enter into any forward sale, repurchase agreement or other monetization transaction with respect to any of the Subject Securities, or any right or interest therein (legal or equitable), to any person or group, or agree to do any of the foregoing, provided that the Supporting Party may transfer the Subject Securities to a corporation, partnership or other entity directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Supporting Party or under common control with the Supporting Party, provided, further, that (i) such transfer shall not relieve or release the Supporting Party of or from its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Supporting Party to vote or cause to be voted all of the Subject Securities in favour of the Arrangement Resolution, (ii) prompt written notice of such transfer is provided to LACQ, (iii) the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms hereof pursuant to documentation approved in writing by LACQ in advance of such transfer, and (iv) the transferee continues to be a corporation, partnership or other entity owned or controlled by the Supporting Party or under common control with the Supporting Party at all times prior to Closing;

 

(f)not to grant any proxies or powers of attorney (other than as contemplated hereby), deposit any of the Subject Securities into any voting trust or enter into any voting arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, with respect to any of the Subject Securities;

 

2

 

 

(g)to promptly notify LACQ of any new Subject Securities acquired by or issued to the Supporting Party or over which the Supporting Party acquires control after the date hereof;

 

(h)not to engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions involving the securities of LACQ without the prior consent of LACQ; and

 

(k)to comply with the terms of covenant applicable to the Company set forth in Section 7.7 of the Merger Agreement (Exclusivity) mutatis mutandis.

 

2.Representations and Warranties

 

The Supporting Party represents and warrants as follows to LACQ:

 

(a)Organization & Authority. The Supporting Party is a corporation or entity incorporated or duly organized, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation and has full legal capacity and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform the transactions contemplated hereunder.

 

(b)Validity of Agreement. None of the execution and delivery by the Supporting Party of this Agreement or the completion or performance of the transactions contemplated hereby or the compliance by the Supporting Party with the Supporting Party’s obligations hereunder will result in a breach of (i) any agreement or instrument to which the Supporting Party is a party or by which the Supporting Party or any of the Supporting Party’s property or assets is bound, (ii) any judgment, decree, order or award of any Governmental Entity issued to or against the Supporting Party, (iii) the articles, by-laws or other constating documents of the Supporting Party or (iv) any Laws relevant in the context of the Arrangement or this Agreement.

 

(c)Execution and Binding Obligation. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Supporting Party and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable by LACQ against the Supporting Party in accordance with its terms, subject, however, to any limitation under applicable Laws relating to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other Laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) the discretion that a court may exercise in the granting of equitable remedies such as specific performance and injunction.

 

(d)Title to Subject Securities. The Supporting Party is the registered and beneficial owner of, or the beneficial owner exercising control or direction over, the Subject Securities, with good and valid title thereto. The Supporting Party has the sole right to vote all of the Subject Securities, subject to the provisions of the articles and bylaws of the Company (the “Articles”). The Supporting Party is not currently obligated to grant nor has it granted or has any proxy outstanding in respect of any of the Subject Securities. None of the Subject Securities are subject to any agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting thereof, except as contemplated by this Agreement and the Legacy Shareholders Agreement. The Supporting Party is not the registered or beneficial owner of, nor does it exercise control or direction over, any Company Shares other than the Subject Securities. Other than pursuant to the Legacy Shareholders Agreement, the Supporting Party has no agreement or option, or right or privilege (whether by Law, pre-emptive or contractual) capable of becoming an agreement or option, for the purchase or acquisition by the Supporting Party or transfer to the Supporting Party of additional Company Shares. No Person has any agreement or option, or any right or privilege (whether by Law, pre-emptive or contractual), capable of becoming an agreement or option for the purchase, acquisition or transfer from the Supporting Party of any of the Subject Securities except pursuant to this Agreement or as expressly provided in the terms of the Legacy Shareholders Agreement.

(e)Approvals and Consents. Other than the Gaming Authority Approvals, no sanction, ruling, consent, order, exemption, permit, declaration, filing, waiver or other approval of any Governmental Authority or other Person is required to be obtained by the Supporting Party in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance by the Supporting Party of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by the Supporting Party of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(f)No Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of the Supporting Party, threatened against the Supporting Party that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the validity of this Agreement or any action taken or to be taken by the Supporting Party in connection with this Agreement.

This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of the:

 

(a)Closing;

(c)date upon which the Parties agree in writing to terminate this Agreement.

 

4.Successors and Assigns

 

(a)This Agreement becomes effective only when executed by each of the Parties. After that time, it is binding on and enures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

 

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.

 

5.Disclosure and Announcement

 

(a)The Supporting Party hereby consents to: (i) details or a summary of this Agreement being set out in any press release, information circular, including the Circular, and court documents produced by the Company, LACQ or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and (ii) this Agreement being filed on SEDAR or EDGAR solely to the extent required by Law.

(b)Either Party shall be permitted to make any public announcement with respect to the transactions contemplated herein or pursuant to the Merger Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party if (i) the disclosure is required by Law and (ii) the Party has first used its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party about the form and substance of such disclosure, subject to the overriding obligations of Laws.

 

6.Waiver of Claims against Trust Account

 

The Supporting Party hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title, interest, causes of action and claims of any kind or nature whatsoever (each, a “Claim”) in or to, and any and all right to seek payment of any amounts due to it out of, the trust account established for the benefit of the public stockholders of LACQ and into which substantially all of the proceeds of LACQ’s initial public offering have been deposited (the “Trust Account”). The Supporting Party hereby irrevocably waives any Claim it presently has or may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, which Claim would reduce, encumber or otherwise adversely affect the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account, and further agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction of any Claim against the Trust Account or any monies or other assets in the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

 

7.Expenses

 

Each of the Parties shall pay its own legal, financial, advisory, accounting and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

8.Amendment

 

This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by written agreement signed by the Parties. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either Party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such Party.

 

9.Specific Performance and Injunctive Relief

 

The Supporting Party agrees that irreparable harm may occur for which money damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by the Supporting Party. It is accordingly agreed that LACQ shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to enforce compliance with the terms of this Agreement without the proof of actual damages and without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies of LACQ for breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to any other remedy to LACQ may be entitled at Law, in equity or pursuant to this Agreement. The Supporting Party agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (i) LACQ has an adequate remedy at Law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity.
