PROMISSORY NOTE


 


	Principal Amount: Up to $200,000	Dated as of September 11, 2017
	 	New York, New York


 


Leisure Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
and blank check company (the “Maker”), promises to pay to the order of HG Vora Special Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd.
or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), or order, the principal sum of up to Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in lawful money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below. All payments
on this Note shall be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by the Maker to
such account as the Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.


 


This Note, together with (i) that certain
Promissory Note, dated as of the date hereof, between the Maker and Hydra Management, LLC, and (ii) that certain Promissory Note,
dated as of the date hereof, between the Maker and MLCP GLL Funding LLC, are collectively referred to as the LAC Promissory Notes.
The “Payees” under the LAC Promissory Notes are collectively referred to as the LAC Payees and each as an LAC Payee.


 


1.            Principal.
The principal balance of this Note shall be payable by the Maker on the earlier of: (i) June 30, 2018 or (ii) the date on which
Maker consummates an initial public offering of its securities. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. Payments made
on or in respect of this Note may only be made on a pro rata basis (based on the principal amounts of the LAC Promissory
Notes) with amounts paid on or in respect of the other LAC Promissory Notes. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including
but not limited to any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or
liabilities of the Maker hereunder.


 


2.            Interest.
No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.


 


3.            Drawdown
Requests. Maker and Payee agree that Maker may request up to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) for costs reasonably related
to Maker’s initial public offering of its securities. The principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to time prior
to the earlier of: (i) June 30, 2018 or (ii) the date on which Maker consummates an initial public offering of its securities,
upon written request from Maker to Payee (each, a “Drawdown Request”). Each Drawdown Request must state the amount
to be drawn down, and must not be an amount less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). Payee shall fund each Drawdown Request no
later than five (5) business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns
collectively under this Note is Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) and that amounts of principal may only be drawn down upon
under this Note on a pro rata basis (based on the principal amounts of the LAC Promissory Notes) with amounts drawn down
upon under the other LAC Promissory Notes. The obligation of each LAC Payee to fund Drawdown Requests shall be several and not
joint. Once an amount is drawn down under this Note, it shall not be available for future Drawdown Requests even if prepaid. No
fees, payments or other amounts shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, all payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in collection of any sum due under
this Note, including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys’ fees, and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance
of this Note.
