 Section 7 
 TERMS OF STOCK INCENTIVES 
  
 7.1 Terms and Conditions of All Stock Incentives. 

 
 (a) Grants of Stock Incentives. The Board, in its absolute
discretion, shall grant Stock Incentives under this Plan from time to time and shall have the right to grant new Stock Incentives in exchange for outstanding Stock Incentives, including, but not limited to, exchanges of Stock Options for the purpose
of achieving a lower Exercise Price. Stock Incentives shall be granted to Eligible Recipients selected by the Board, and the Board shall be under no obligation whatsoever to grant any Stock Incentives, or to grant Stock Incentives to all Eligible
Recipients, or to grant all Stock Incentives subject to the same terms and conditions. 
  
 (b) Shares Subject to Stock Incentives. The number of Shares as to which a Stock Incentive shall be granted shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, subject to the provisions of Section 3 as to
the total number of Shares available for grants under the Plan. 
  
 (c) Stock Incentive Agreements. Each Stock Incentive shall be evidenced by a Stock Incentive Agreement executed by the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary, and the Participant, which shall be in such form and contain such terms and
conditions as the Board in its discretion may, subject to the provisions of the Plan, from time to time determine. 
  

 Pokertek, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan 
 Page 6 








 (d) Date of Grant. The date a Stock Incentive is granted shall be the date on which the Board (1)
has approved the terms and conditions of the Stock Incentive Agreement, (2) has determined the recipient of the Stock Incentive and the number of Shares covered by the Stock Incentive and (3) has taken all such other action necessary to direct the
grant of the Stock Incentive. 
  
 7.2 Terms and
Conditions of Options. 
  
 (a) Necessity of
Stock Incentive Agreements. Each grant of an Option shall be evidenced by a Stock Incentive Agreement that shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or NQSO, and incorporate such other terms and conditions as the Board, acting in its absolute
discretion, deems consistent with the terms of this Plan, including (without limitation) a restriction on the number of Shares subject to the Option that first become exercisable during any calendar year. The Board and/or the Company shall have
complete discretion to modify the terms and provisions of an Option in accordance with Section 12 of this Plan even though such modification may change the Option from an ISO to a NQSO. 
  
 (b) Determining Optionees. In determining Eligible Recipient(s) to whom an Option shall be granted and the number of
Shares to be covered by such Option, the Board may take into account the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and its other officers, the duties of the Eligible Recipient, the present and potential contributions of the
Eligible Recipient to the success of the Company, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board, in its sole discretion, in connection with accomplishing the purpose of this Plan. An Eligible Recipient who has been granted an Option to purchase
Shares, whether under this Plan or otherwise, may be granted one or more additional Options. If the Board grants an ISO and a NQSO to an Eligible Recipient on the same date, the right of the Eligible Recipient to exercise one such Option shall not
be conditioned on his or her failure to exercise the other such Option. 
  
 (c) Exercise Price. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 10 and the other provisions of this Section, the Exercise Price shall be as set forth in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement. With respect to each grant of an
ISO to a Participant who is not a Ten Percent Shareholder, the Exercise Price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date the ISO is granted. With respect to each grant of an ISO to a Participant who is a Ten Percent Shareholder, the
Exercise Price shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date the ISO is granted. If a Stock Incentive is a NQSO, (1) with respect to grants made on or before July 29, 2005, the Exercise Price for each
Share shall be no less than (i) the minimum price required by applicable state law, or (ii) the minimum price required by the Company’s governing instrument, or (iii) $0.01, whichever price is greater; and (2) with respect to grants made on or
after July 29, 2005, the Exercise Price for each Share shall be no less than the Fair Market Value on the date the NQSO is granted. Any Stock Incentive intended to meet the Performance-Based Exception must be granted with an Exercise Price
equivalent to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject thereto determined as of the date of such grant. Any Stock Incentive intended to meet the FLSA Exclusion must be granted with an Exercise Price equivalent to or greater than
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject thereto on the date granted determined as of the date of such grant. 
  
 (d) Option Term. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in part at such time or times as set forth in the related
Stock Incentive Agreement, but no Stock Incentive Agreement shall: 
  
 (i) make an Option exercisable before the date such Option is granted; or 
  
 (ii) make an Option exercisable after the earlier of: 
  
 (A) the date such Option is exercised in full, or 
  
 (B) the date that is the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date such Option is granted, if such Option is a NQSO or an ISO granted to a non-Ten Percent Shareholder, or the date that is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the
date such Option is granted, if such Option is an ISO granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder. A Stock Incentive Agreement may provide for the exercise of an Option after the employment of an Employee has terminated for any reason whatsoever, including
death or disability. The Employee’s rights, if any, upon termination of employment will be set forth in the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement. 
  

 Pokertek, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan 
 Page 7 








 (e) Payment. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise to the
Company, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised accompanied by full payment for the Shares. Payment for shares of Stock purchased pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be made in cash or, unless the
Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, by delivery to the Company of a number of Shares that have been owned and completely paid for by the holder for at least six (6) months prior to the date of exercise (i.e., “mature
shares” for accounting purposes) having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount to be tendered, or a combination thereof. In addition, unless the Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the Option may be exercised through a
brokerage transaction following registration of the Company’s equity securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act as permitted under the provisions of Regulation T applicable to cashless exercises promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board,
unless prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Option recipient who is an Insider, a tender of shares or a cashless exercise must (1) have met the requirements of an
exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (2) be a subsequent transaction the terms of which were provided for in a transaction initially meeting the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act. Unless the Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the foregoing exercise payment methods shall be subsequent transactions approved by the original grant of an Option. Except as provided in subparagraph (f) below, payment shall
be made at the time that the Option or any part thereof is exercised, and no Shares shall be issued or delivered upon exercise of an Option until full payment has been made by the Participant. The holder of an Option, as such, shall have none of the
rights of a shareholder. Notwithstanding the above and unless prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in the sole discretion of the Board, an Option may be exercised as to a portion or all (as determined by the Board) of the number of Shares
specified in the Stock Incentive Agreement by delivery to the Company of a promissory note, such promissory note to be executed by the Participant and that shall include, with such other terms and conditions as the Board shall determine, provisions
in a form approved by the Board under which: (i) the balance of the aggregate purchase price shall be payable in equal installments over such period and shall bear interest at such rate (that shall not be less than the prime bank loan rate as
determined by the Board, that shall be established at the time of exercise, and that must be a market rate based on the rate environment at the date of exercise) as the Board shall approve, and (ii) the Participant shall be personally liable for
payment of the unpaid principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest. Other methods of payment may also be used if approved by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion and provided for under the Stock Incentive Agreement. 
  
 (f) Conditions to Exercise of an Option. Each Option granted under the
Plan shall vest and shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon the occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the Board shall specify in the Stock Incentive Agreement; provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of an
Option, the Board, at any time before complete termination of such Option, may (subject to any requirements imposed under Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance) accelerate the time or times at which such Option may vest or be
exercised in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option intended to meet the FLSA Exclusion shall not be exercisable for at least six (6) months following the date it is granted, except by reason of death, disability, retirement, a
change in corporate ownership or other circumstances permitted under regulations promulgated under the FLSA Exclusion. The Board may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable,
including, without limitation, vesting or performance-based restrictions, rights of the Company to re-purchase Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option, voting restrictions, investment intent restrictions, restrictions on transfer,
“first refusal” rights of the Company to purchase Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option prior to their sale to any other person, “drag along” rights requiring the sale of shares to a third party purchaser in
certain circumstances, “lock up” type restrictions in the case of an initial public offering of the Company’s stock, restrictions or limitations or other provisions that would be applied to shareholders under any applicable agreement
among the shareholders, and restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and/or under any blue sky or state securities laws
applicable to such Shares. 
  
 (g) Transferability of
Options. An Option shall not be transferable or assignable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant; provided, however, that in the event
the Participant is incapacitated and unable to exercise his or her Option, if such Option is a NQSO, such Option may be exercised by such Participant’s legal guardian, legal representative, or other representative whom the Board deems
appropriate based on applicable facts and circumstances. The determination of incapacity of a Participant and the determination of the appropriate representative of the Participant who shall be able to exercise the Option if the Participant is
incapacitated shall 

  

 Pokertek, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan 
 Page 8 








 
be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in the Stock Incentive Agreement,
a NQSO may also be transferred by a Participant as a bona fide gift (i) to his spouse, lineal descendant or lineal ascendant, siblings and children by adoption, (ii) to a trust for the benefit of one or more individuals described in clause (i) and
no other persons, or (iii) to a partnership of which the only partners are one or more individuals described in clause (i), in which case the transferee shall be subject to all provisions of the Plan, the Stock Incentive Agreement and other
agreements with the Participant in connection with the exercise of the Option and purchase of Shares. In the event of such a gift, the Participant shall promptly notify the Board of such transfer and deliver to the Board such written documentation
as the Board may in its discretion request, including, without limitation, the written acknowledgment of the donee that the donee is subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Stock Incentive Agreement and other agreements with the Participant.

  
 (h) Special Provisions for Certain Substitute Options.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, any Option in substitution for a stock option previously issued by another entity, which substitution occurs in connection with a transaction to which Code Section 424(a) is applicable, may
provide for an exercise price computed in accordance with Code Section 424(a) and the regulations thereunder and may contain such other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe to cause such substitute Option to contain as nearly as possible
the same terms and conditions (including the applicable vesting and termination provisions) as those contained in the previously issued stock option being replaced thereby. 
  
 (i) ISO Tax Treatment Requirements. With respect to any Option that purports to be an ISO, to the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant of such Option) of stock with respect to which such Option is exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year exceeds one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000.00), such Option shall not be treated as an ISO in accordance with Code Section 422(d). The rule of the preceding sentence is applied in the order in which Options are granted. Also, with respect to any Option that purports to be an ISO,
such Option shall not be treated as an ISO if the Participant disposes of shares acquired thereunder within two (2) years from the date of the granting of the Option or within one (1) year of the exercise of the Option, or if the Participant has not
met the requirements of Code Section 422(a)(2). 
  
 (j)
Potential Repricing of Stock Options. With respect to any Option granted pursuant to, and under, this Plan, the Board (or a committee thereof) may determine that the repricing of all or any portion of existing outstanding Options is
appropriate without the need for any additional approval of the Shareholders of the Company. For this purpose, “repricing” of Options shall include, but not be limited to, any of the following actions (or any similar action): (1) lowering
the Exercise Price of an existing Option; (2) any action which would be treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles; or (3) canceling of an existing Option at a time when its Exercise Price exceeds the fair
market value of the underlying stock subject to such Option, in exchange for another Option, a Restricted Stock Award, or other equity in the Company. 
  
 7.3 Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted in connection with all or any
portion of a previously or contemporaneously granted Option or not in connection with an Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant to receive upon exercise or payment the excess of the Fair Market Value of a specified number
of Shares at the time of exercise, over a SAR Exercise Price that shall be not less than the Exercise Price for that number of Shares in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with a previously or contemporaneously granted
Option, or in the case of any other Stock Appreciation Right, not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of that number of Shares at the time the Stock Appreciation Right was granted. The exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right
shall result in a pro rata surrender of the related Option to the extent the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. 
  
 (a) Payment. Upon exercise or payment of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Company shall pay to the Participant the appreciation in cash or Shares
(at the aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of payment or exercise) as provided in the Stock Incentive Agreement or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board may determine. To the extent that a Stock Appreciation Right is paid in cash, it
shall nonetheless be deemed paid in Shares for purposes of Section 3 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required to ensure that a Stock Appreciation Right is not subject to, or complies with, Code Section 409A, related regulations,
and other guidance, (i) a Stock Appreciation Right shall be settled solely for shares of Common Stock of the Company, which Common Stock is traded on an established securities market, and which SAR 

  

 Pokertek, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan 
 Page 9 








 
does not include any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the exercise of the Stock Appreciation
Right; or (ii) a Stock Appreciation Right shall be structured in a manner designed to be exempt from, or to comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A. 
  

(b) Conditions to Exercise. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon the
occurrence of such event or events, and in such amounts, as the Board shall specify in the Stock Incentive Agreement; provided, however, that subsequent to the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Board, at any time before complete termination
of such Stock Appreciation Right, may accelerate the time or times at which such Stock Appreciation Right may (subject to any requirements imposed under Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance) be exercised in whole or in part.

  
 (c) Transferability of Stock Appreciation Rights.
Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Stock Incentive Agreement, no Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Stock Incentive Agreement, all Stock Appreciation Rights granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime,
only by the Participant; provided, however, that in the event the Participant is incapacitated and unable to exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right, such Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by such Participant’s legal guardian,
legal representative, or other representative whom the Board deems appropriate based on applicable facts and circumstances. The determination of incapacity of a Participant and the determination of the appropriate representative of the Participant
shall be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in the Stock Incentive Agreement, (A) a Stock Appreciation Right which is granted in connection with the grant of a
NQSO may be transferred, but only with the NQSO, and (B) a Stock Appreciation Right which is not granted in connection with the grant of a NQSO, may be transferred by the Participant as a bona fide gift (i) to his spouse, lineal descendant or lineal
ascendant, siblings and children by adoption, (ii) to a trust for the benefit of one or more individuals described in clause (i), or (iii) to a partnership of which the only partners are one or more individuals described in clause (i), in which case
the transferee shall be subject to all provisions of the Plan, the Stock Incentive Agreement and other agreements with the Participant in connection with the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right. In the event of such a gift, the Optionee shall
promptly notify the Board of such transfer and deliver to the Board such written documentation as the Board may in its discretion request, including, without limitation, the written acknowledgment of the donee that the donee is subject to the
provisions of the Plan, the Stock Incentive Agreement and other agreements with the Participant in connection with the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right. 
  

(d) Special Provisions for Tandem SAR’s. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Option (1) must be granted in accordance
with Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance, and (2) may only be exercised to the extent that the related Option has not been exercised. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an ISO (1) will expire no later than the
expiration of the underlying ISO, (2) may be for no more than the difference between the exercise price of the underlying ISO and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying ISO at the time the Stock Appreciation Right is
exercised, (3) may be transferable only when, and under the same conditions as, the underlying ISO is transferable, and (4) may be exercised only (i) when the underlying ISO could be exercised and (ii) when the Fair Market Value of the Shares
subject to the ISO exceeds the exercise price of the ISO. 
  
 7.4
Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Awards.  
  
 (a) Grants of Restricted Stock Awards. Shares awarded pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions as determined by the Board for periods determined by the Board. Restricted Stock Awards issued under the
Plan may have restrictions which lapse based upon the service of a Participant, or based upon the attainment (as determined by the Board) of performance goals established pursuant to the business criteria listed in Section 14, or based upon any
other criteria that the Board may determine appropriate. Any Restricted Stock Award which becomes exercisable based on the attainment of performance goals must be granted by a Committee, must have its performance goals determined by such a Committee
based upon one or more of the business criteria listed in Section 14, and must have the attainment of such performance goals certified in writing by such a Committee in order to meet the Performance-Based Exception. The Board may require a cash
payment from the Participant in exchange for the grant of a Restricted Stock Award or may grant a Restricted Stock Award without the requirement of a cash payment. 
  

 Pokertek, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan 
 Page 10 








 (b) Acceleration of Award. The Board shall (subject to any restrictions imposed under Code Section
409A, related regulations or other guidance) have the power to permit, in its discretion, an acceleration of the expiration of the applicable restrictions or the applicable period of such restrictions with respect to any part or all of the Shares
awarded to a Participant. 
  
 (c) Necessity of Stock Incentive
Agreement. Each grant of a Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced by a Stock Incentive Agreement that shall specify the terms, conditions and restrictions regarding the Shares awarded to a Participant, and shall incorporate such other terms
and conditions as the Board, acting in its absolute discretion, deems consistent with the terms of this Plan. The Board shall (subject to any restrictions imposed under Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance) have complete
discretion to modify the terms and provisions of Restricted Stock Awards in accordance with Section 12 of this Plan. 
  
 (d) Restrictions on Shares Awarded. Shares awarded pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions as determined by the
Board for periods determined by the Board. The Board may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, vesting or performance-based restrictions, rights
of the Company to re-purchase Shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award, voting restrictions, investment intent restrictions, restrictions on transfer, “first refusal” rights of the Company to purchase Shares acquired pursuant
to the Restricted Stock Award prior to their sale to any other person, “drag along” rights requiring the sale of shares to a third party purchaser in certain circumstances, “lock up” type restrictions in connection with public
offerings of the Company’s stock, restrictions or limitations or other provisions that would be applied to shareholders under any applicable agreement among the shareholders, and restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the
requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and/or under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares. 
  
 (e) Transferability of Restricted Stock Awards. A Restricted Stock Award may not be transferred by the holder
Participant, except upon the death of the holder Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 
  
 (f) Voting, Dividend & Other Rights. Unless the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, holders of Restricted Stock Awards
shall not be entitled to vote and shall not receive dividends during the periods of restriction. 
  
 7.5 Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock Units. 
  
 (a) Grants of Restricted Stock Units. A Restricted Stock Unit shall entitle the Participant to receive one Share at
such future time and upon such terms as specified by the Board in the Stock Incentive Agreement evidencing such award. Restricted Stock Units issued under the Plan may have restrictions which lapse based upon the service of a Participant, or based
upon other criteria that the Board may determine appropriate. The Board may require a cash payment from the Participant in exchange for the grant of Restricted Stock Units or may grant Restricted Stock Units without the requirement of a cash
payment. 
  
 (b) Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. The
Board shall establish the vesting schedule applicable to Restricted Stock Units and shall specify the times, vesting and performance goal requirements. Until the end of the period(s) of time specified in the vesting schedule and/or the satisfaction
of any performance criteria, the Restricted Stock Units subject to such Stock Incentive Agreement shall remain subject to forfeiture. 
  
 (c) Acceleration of Award. The Board shall (subject to any restrictions imposed under Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance)
have the power to permit, in its sole discretion, an acceleration of the applicable restrictions or the applicable period of such restrictions with respect to any part or all of the Restricted Stock Units awarded to a Participant. 
  
 (d) Necessity of Stock Incentive Agreement. Each grant of Restricted
Stock Unit(s) shall be evidenced by a Stock Incentive Agreement that shall specify the terms, conditions and restrictions regarding the Participant’s right to receive Share(s) in the future, and shall incorporate such other terms and conditions
as the Board, acting in its sole discretion, deems consistent with the terms of this Plan. The Board shall (subject to any restrictions imposed under Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance) have sole discretion to modify the terms
and provisions of Restricted Stock Unit(s) in accordance with Section 12 of this Plan. 
  

 Pokertek, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan 
 Page 11 








 (e) Transferability of Restricted Stock Units. Except as otherwise provided in a
Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award, no Restricted Stock Unit granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by the holder Participant, except upon the death of the holder
Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 
  
 (f) Voting, Dividend & Other Rights. Unless the applicable Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, holders of Restricted Stock Units shall not be entitled to vote or to receive dividends until they become owners of the
Shares pursuant to their Restricted Stock Units. 
  
 Section 8.

 SECURITIES REGULATION 
  
 Each Stock Incentive Agreement may provide that, upon the receipt of Shares as a result of the exercise of a Stock Incentive
or otherwise, the Participant shall, if so requested by the Company, hold such Shares for investment and not with a view of resale or distribution to the public and, if so requested by the Company, shall deliver to the Company a written statement
satisfactory to the Company to that effect. Each Stock Incentive Agreement may also provide that, if so requested by the Company, the Participant shall make a written representation to the Company that he or she will not sell or offer to sell any of
such Shares unless a registration statement shall be in effect with respect to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities law or, unless he or she shall have furnished to the
Company an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, of legal counsel acceptable to the Company, that such registration is not required. Certificates representing the Shares transferred upon the exercise of a Stock Incentive
granted under this Plan may at the discretion of the Company bear a legend to the effect that such Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities law and that such Shares may not be sold or offered for sale in
the absence of an effective registration statement as to such Shares under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities law or an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, of legal counsel acceptable to the Company, that such
registration is not required. 
  
 Section 9. 
 LIFE OF PLAN 
  

No Stock Incentive shall be granted under this Plan on or after the earlier of: 
  
 (a) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the effective date of this Plan (as determined under Section 4 of this Plan), in which
event this Plan otherwise thereafter shall continue in effect until all outstanding Stock Incentives have been exercised in full or no longer are exercisable, or 
  
 (b) the date on which all of the Shares reserved under Section 3 of this Plan have (as a result of the exercise of Stock
Incentives granted under this Plan or lapse of all restrictions under a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit) been issued or no longer are available for use under this Plan, in which event this Plan also shall terminate on such date.

  
 This Plan shall continue in effect until all outstanding Stock Incentives have
been exercised in full or are no longer exercisable and all Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units have vested or been forfeited. 
  
 Section 10. 
 ADJUSTMENT 
  
 Notwithstanding
anything in Section 12 to the contrary, the number of Shares reserved under Section 3 of this Plan, the limit on the number of Shares that may be granted during a calendar year to any individual under Section 3 of this Plan, the number of Shares
subject to Stock Incentives granted under this Plan, and the 

  

 Pokertek, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan 
 Page 12 








 
Exercise Price of any Options and the SAR Exercise Price of any Stock Appreciation Rights, shall be adjusted by the Board in an equitable manner to reflect
any change in the capitalization of the Company, including, but not limited to, such changes as stock dividends or stock splits. Furthermore, the Board shall have the right to adjust (in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Code Section
424(a)) the number of Shares reserved under Section 3, and the number of Shares subject to Stock Incentives granted under this Plan, and the Exercise Price of any Options and the SAR Exercise Price of any Stock Appreciation Rights in the event of
any corporate transaction described in Code Section 424(a) that provides for the substitution or assumption of such Stock Incentives. If any adjustment under this Section creates a fractional Share or a right to acquire a fractional Share, such
fractional Share shall be disregarded, and the number of Shares reserved under this Plan and the number subject to any Stock Incentives granted under this Plan shall be the next lower number of Shares, rounding all fractions downward. An adjustment
made under this Section by the Board shall be conclusive and binding on all affected persons and, further, shall not constitute an increase in the number of Shares reserved under Section 3. 
  
 Section 11. 
 CHANGE OF CONTROL OF THE COMPANY 
  
 11.1 General Rule for Options. Except as otherwise provided in a Stock Incentive Agreement or as may be
required to comply with Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance, if a Change of Control occurs, and if the agreements effectuating the Change of Control do not provide for the assumption or substitution of all Options granted under
this Plan, with respect to any Option granted under this Plan that is not so assumed or substituted (a “Non-Assumed Option”), the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may, with respect to any or all of such Non-Assumed Options,
take any or all of the following actions to be effective as of the date of the Change of Control (or as of any other date fixed by the Committee occurring within the thirty (30) day period ending on the date of the Change of Control, but only if
such action remains contingent upon the effectuation of the Change of Control) (such date referred to as the “Action Effective Date”): 
  
 (a) Accelerate the vesting and/or exercisability of such Non-Assumed Option; and/or 
  
 (b) Unilaterally cancel any such Non-Assumed Option which has not vested and/or which has not become exercisable as of the
Action Effective Date; and/or 
  
 (c) Unilaterally cancel such
Non-Assumed Option in exchange for: 
  
 (i) whole
and/or fractional Shares (or for whole Shares and cash in lieu of any fractional Share) that, in the aggregate, are equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares that could be purchased subject to such Non-Assumed Option
determined as of the Action Effective Date (taking into account vesting and/or exercisability) over the aggregate Exercise Price for such Shares; or 
  
 (ii) cash or other property equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares that could be purchased subject to such
Non-Assumed Option determined as of the Action Effective Date (taking into account vesting and/or exercisability) over the aggregate Exercise Price for such Shares; and/or 
  
 (d) Unilaterally cancel such Non-Assumed Option after providing the holder of such Option with (1) an opportunity to
exercise such Non-Assumed Option to the extent vested and/or exercisable within a specified period prior to the date of the Change of Control, and (2) notice of such opportunity to exercise prior to the commencement of such specified period; and/or

  
 (e) Unilaterally cancel such Non-Assumed Option and notify the
holder of such Option of such action, but only if the Fair Market Value of the Shares that could be purchased subject to such Non-Assumed Option determined as of the Action Effective Date (taking into account vesting and/or exercisability) does not
exceed the aggregate Exercise Price for such Shares. 
  

 Pokertek, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan 
 Page 13 








 However, notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the recipient of a Non-Assumed Option is an Insider, payment
of cash in lieu of whole or fractional Shares or shares of a successor may only be made to the extent that such payment (1) has met the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (2) is a subsequent
transaction the terms of which were provided for in a transaction initially meeting the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Unless a Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the payment of cash in
lieu of whole or fractional Shares or in lieu of whole or fractional shares of a successor shall be considered a subsequent transaction approved by the original grant of an Option. 
  
 11.2 General Rule for SARs. Except as otherwise provided in a Stock Incentive Agreement, if a Change of
Control occurs, and if the agreements effectuating the Change of Control do not provide for the assumption or substitution of all Stock Appreciation Rights granted under this Plan, with respect to any Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan
that is not so assumed or substituted (a “Non-Assumed SAR”), the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may, with respect to any or all of such Non-Assumed SARs, take either or both of the following actions to be effective as of
the date of the Change of Control (or as of any other date fixed by the Committee occurring within the thirty (30) day period ending on the date of the Change of Control, but only if such action remains contingent upon the effectuation of the Change
of Control) (such date referred to as the “Action Effective Date”): 
  
 (a) Accelerate the vesting and/or exercisability of such Non-Assumed SAR; and/or 
  
 (b) Unilaterally cancel any such Non-Assumed SAR which has not vested or which has not become exercisable as of the Action Effective Date; and/or

  
 (c) Unilaterally cancel such Non-Assumed SAR in exchange for:

  
 (i) whole and/or fractional Shares (or for
whole Shares and cash in lieu of any fractional Share) that, in the aggregate, are equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Non-Assumed SAR determined as of the Action Effective Date (taking into account
vesting and/or exercisability) over the SAR Exercise Price for such Non-Assumed SAR; or 
  
 (ii) cash or other property equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Non-Assumed SAR determined
as of the Action Effective Date (taking into account vesting and/or exercisability) over the SAR Exercise Price for such Non-Assumed SAR; and/or 
  
 (d) Unilaterally cancel such Non-Assumed SAR and notify the holder of such SAR of such action, but only if the Fair Market Value of the Shares that could
be purchased subject to such Non-Assumed SAR determined as of the Action Effective Date (taking into account vesting and/or exercisability) does not exceed the SAR Exercise Price for such Non-Assumed SAR. 
  
 However, notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the recipient of a Non-Assumed SAR
is an Insider, payment of cash in lieu of whole or fractional Shares or shares of a successor may only be made to the extent that such payment (1) has met the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (2)
is a subsequent transaction the terms of which were provided for in a transaction initially meeting the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Unless a Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the
payment of cash in lieu of whole or fractional Shares or in lieu of whole or fractional shares of a successor shall be considered a subsequent transaction approved by the original grant of a SAR. 
  
 11.3 General Rule for Restricted Stock Units. Except as
otherwise provided in a Stock Incentive Agreement, if a Change of Control occurs, and if the agreements effectuating the Change of Control do not provide for the assumption or substitution of all Restricted Stock Units granted under this Plan, with
respect to any Restricted Stock Unit granted under this Plan that is not so assumed or substituted (a “Non-Assumed RSU”), the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may, with respect to any or all of such Non-Assumed RSUs, take
either or both of the following actions to be effective as of the date of the Change of Control (or as of any other date fixed by the Committee occurring within the thirty (30) day period ending on the date of the Change of Control, but only if such
action remains contingent upon the effectuation of the Change of Control) (such date referred to as the “Action Effective Date”): 
  
 (a) Accelerate the vesting of such Non-Assumed RSU; and/or 
  

 Pokertek, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan 
 Page 14 








 (b) Unilaterally cancel any such Non-Assumed RSU which has not vested as of the Action Effective Date;
and/or 
  
 (c) Unilaterally cancel such Non-Assumed RSU in
exchange for: 
  
 (i) whole and/or fractional
Shares (or for whole Shares and cash in lieu of any fractional Share) that are equal to the number of Shares subject to such Non-Assumed RSU determined as of the Action Effective Date (taking into account vesting); or 
  
 (ii) cash or other property equal in value to the Fair
Market Value of the Shares subject to such Non-Assumed RSU determined as of the Action Effective Date (taking into account vesting); and/or 
  
 (d) Unilaterally cancel such Non-Assumed RSU and notify the holder of such RSU of such action, but only if the Fair Market Value of the Shares that were
subject to such Non-Assumed RSU determined as of the Action Effective Date (taking into account vesting) is zero. 
  
 However, notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the recipient of a Non-Assumed RSU is an Insider, payment of cash in lieu of whole or fractional Shares or
shares of a successor may only be made to the extent that such payment (1) has met the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (2) is a subsequent transaction the terms of which were provided for in a
transaction initially meeting the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Unless a Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the payment of cash in lieu of whole or fractional Shares or in lieu of whole
or fractional shares of a successor shall be considered a subsequent transaction approved by the original grant of an RSU. 
  
 11.4 General Rule for Other Stock Incentive Agreements. If a Change of Control occurs, then, except to the extent otherwise provided in the
Stock Incentive Agreement pertaining to a particular Stock Incentive or as otherwise provided in this Plan, each Stock Incentive shall be governed by applicable law and the documents effectuating the Change of Control. 
  
 11.5 Special Provisions Applicable to Stock Incentives Subject to Code
Section 409A. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of Section 11 and Section 2.3, in the event that any Stock Incentives granted under the Plan are deemed to be deferred compensation subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A,
then distributions related to such Stock Incentives may be permitted, in the Board’s discretion, upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events (as they are defined and interpreted under Code Section 409A, related regulations or
other guidance): (A) a change in the ownership of the Company, (B) a change in effective control of the Company, or (C) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company. 
  
 Section 12. 
 AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION 
  
 This Plan may be amended by the Board from time to time to the extent that the Board deems necessary or appropriate; provided, however, no such amendment
shall be made absent the approval of the shareholders of the Company (a) to increase the number of Shares reserved under Section 3, except as set forth in Section 10, (b) to extend the maximum life of the Plan under Section 9 or the maximum exercise
period under Section 7, (c) to decrease the minimum Exercise Price under Section 7, or (d) to change the designation of Eligible Recipients eligible for Stock Incentives under Section 6. Shareholder approval of other material amendments (such as an
expansion of the types of awards available under the Plan, an extension of the term of the Plan, a change to the method of determining the Exercise Price of Options issued under the Plan, or a 

  

 Pokertek, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan 
 Page 15 








 
change to the provisions of Section 7.2(j)) may also be required pursuant to rules promulgated by an established stock exchange or a national market system
if the Company is, or become, listed or traded on any such established stock exchange or national market system, or for the Plan to continue to be able to issue Stock Incentives which meet the Performance-Based Exception. The Board also may suspend
the granting of Stock Incentives under this Plan at any time and may terminate this Plan at any time. The Company shall have the right to modify, amend or cancel any Stock Incentive after it has been granted if (i) the modification, amendment or
cancellation does not diminish the rights or benefits of the Stock Incentive recipient under the Stock Incentive (provided, however, that a modification, amendment or cancellation that results solely in a change in the tax consequences with respect
to a Stock Incentive shall not be deemed as a diminishment of rights or benefits of such Stock Incentive), (ii) the Participant consents in writing to such modification, amendment or cancellation, (iii) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, (iv) this Plan and/or the Stock Incentive Agreement expressly provides for such modification, amendment or cancellation, or (v) the Company would otherwise have the right to make such modification, amendment or cancellation by applicable
law. No action to amend or terminate the Plan or a Stock Incentive shall permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment of amounts deemed to involve the deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A, except as may be otherwise
permitted under Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance. 
  
 Section 13. 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 13.1 Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company as a result of
the grant of a Stock Incentive to him or to her under this Plan or his or her exercise of such Stock Incentive pending the actual delivery of Shares subject to such Stock Incentive to such Participant. 
  
 13.2 No Guarantee of Continued Relationship. The grant of a
Stock Incentive to a Participant under this Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment and shall not confer on a Participant any rights upon his or her termination of employment or relationship with the Company in addition to those rights,
if any, expressly set forth in the Stock Incentive Agreement that evidences his or her Stock Incentive. 
  
 13.3 Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company as
a condition precedent for the fulfillment of any Stock Incentive, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result
of this Plan and/or any action taken by a Participant with respect to a Stock Incentive. Whenever Shares are to be issued to a Participant upon exercise of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right, or satisfaction of conditions under a Restricted
Stock Unit, or grant of or substantial vesting of a Restricted Stock Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company, as a condition of exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, or as a condition
to the fulfillment of the Restricted Stock Unit, or as a condition to the grant or substantial vesting of the Restricted Stock Award, an amount in cash (or, unless the Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, in Shares) sufficient to satisfy
federal, state and local withholding tax requirements at the time of such exercise, satisfaction of conditions, or grant or substantial vesting. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a Participant is an Insider, satisfaction of
withholding requirements by having the Company withhold Shares may only be made to the extent that such withholding of Shares (1) has met the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (2) is a subsequent
transaction the terms of which were provided for in a transaction initially meeting the requirements of an exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Unless the Stock Incentive Agreement provides otherwise, the withholding of
shares to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements shall be a subsequent transaction approved by the original grant of a Stock Incentive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall payment of withholding taxes be made by a
retention of Shares by the Company unless the Company retains only Shares with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld. 
  

13.4 Notification of Disqualifying Dispositions of ISO Options. If a Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares
acquired pursuant to an Option that is an ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two (2) years after the date of grant of such Option, or (2) the date one (1) year after the exercise of such Option, then the Participant shall immediately notify

 Section 14. 
 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 
  
 14.1 Performance Goal Business Criteria. Unless and until the Board proposes for shareholder vote and shareholders approve a change in the
general performance measures set forth in this Section, the attainment of which may determine the degree of payout and/or vesting with respect to Stock Incentives to Employees and Key Persons pursuant to this Plan which are designed to qualify for
the Performance-Based Exception, the performance measure(s) to be used by a Committee composed of two (2) or more Outside Directors for purposes of such grants shall be chosen from among the following: 
  
 (a) Earnings per share; 
  
 (b) Net income (before or after taxes); 
  
 (c) Return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, equity
or sales); 
  
 (d) Cash flow return on investments which equals
net cash flows divided by owners equity; 
  
 (e) Earnings before
or after taxes, depreciation and/or amortization; 
  
 (f) Gross
revenues; 
  
 (g) Operating income (before or after taxes);

  
 (h) Total shareholder returns; 
  
 (i) Corporate performance indicators (indices based on the level of certain
services provided to customers); 
  
 (j) Cash generation, profit
and/or revenue targets; 
  
 (k) Growth measures, including revenue
growth, as compared with a peer group or other benchmark; 
  
 (l)
Share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total shareholder return); and/or 
  
 (m) Pre-tax profits. 
  
 14.2 Discretion in Formulation of Performance Goals. The Board shall have the discretion to adjust the determinations of the degree of
attainment of the pre-established performance goals; provided, however, that Stock Incentives which are to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception may not be adjusted upward (although the Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such
Stock Incentives downward).

 14.3 Performance Periods. The Board shall have the discretion to determine the period
during which any performance goal must be attained with respect to a Stock Incentive. Such period may be of any length, and must be established prior to the start of such period or within the first ninety (90) days of such period (provided that the
performance criteria is not in any event set after 25% or more of such period has elapsed). 
  
 14.4 Modifications to Performance Goal Business Criteria. In the event that the applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Board discretion to alter the governing performance measures noted
above without obtaining shareholder approval of such changes, the Board shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder approval. In addition, in the event that the Board determines that it is advisable to grant Stock
Incentives which shall not qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Board may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m); otherwise, a Committee composed exclusively of two (2) of more Outside Directors must
make such grants. 
  
 Section 15. 
 CODE SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE 
  
 15.1 General. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or a Stock Incentive Agreement to the contrary,
if and to the extent that Section 409A of the Code is deemed to apply to the Plan or any Stock Incentive granted under the Plan, it is the general intention of the Company that the Plan and all such Stock Incentives shall comply with Code Section
409A, related regulations or other guidance, and the Plan and any such Stock Incentive shall, to the extent practicable, be construed in accordance therewith. Deferrals of shares issuable pursuant to a Stock Incentive otherwise exempt from Code
Section 409A in a manner that would cause Code Section 409A to apply shall not be permitted unless such deferrals are otherwise in compliance with Section 409A. Without in any way limiting the effect of the foregoing, in the event that Code Section
409A, related regulations or other guidance require that any special terms, provisions or conditions be included in the Plan or any Stock Incentive, then such terms, provisions and conditions shall, to the extent practicable, be deemed to be made a
part of the Plan or Stock Incentive, as applicable. Further, in the event that the Plan or any Stock Incentive shall be deemed not to comply with Code Section 409A or any related regulations or other guidance, then neither the Company, the Board,
the Committee nor its or their designees or agents shall be liable to any Participant or other person for actions, decisions or determinations made in good faith. 
  
 15.2 Specific Terms Applicable to Awards Subject to Code Section 409A. Without limiting the effect of
Section 15.1, above, and notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall, to the extent required under Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance, apply with respect to Stock Incentives
deemed to involve the deferral of compensation under Code Section 409A: 
  
 (a) Distributions. Distributions may be made with respect to Stock Incentives subject to Code Section 409A not earlier than upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events: (1) separation from
service; (2) disability; (3) death; (4) a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule; (5) a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company; or (6) the
occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency. Each of the preceding distribution events shall be defined and interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and related regulations or other guidance. 
  
 (b) Specified Employees. With respect to Participants who are
“specified employees” (as defined in Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance), a distribution due to separation from service may not be made before the date that is six months after the date of separation from service (or,
if earlier, the date of death of the Participant), except as may be otherwise permitted pursuant to Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance. To the extent that a Participant is subject to this section and a distribution is to be
paid in installments, through an annuity, or in some other manner where payment will be periodic, the Participant shall be paid, during the seventh month following separation from service, the aggregate amount of payments he would have received but
for the application of this section; all remaining payments shall be made in their ordinary course. The previous sentence shall be applicable only if and to the extent that it complies with Code Section 409A, related regulations and other applicable
guidance.

 (c) No Acceleration. Unless permissible under Code Section 409A, related regulations or other
guidance, acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment under the Plan is prohibited, except that, to the extent permitted by the Board and to the extent such exceptions do not violate Code Section 409A, the following accelerations may be
permitted in a Stock Incentive: 
  
 (1) As
necessary to fulfill a domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(1)(B)); 
  
 (2) As necessary to comply with a certificate of divestiture (as defined in Code Section 1043(b)(2)); and 
  
 (3) To pay the Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax
imposed under Code Sections 3101 and 3121(v)(2) on amounts deferred under the Plan (the “FICA Amount”), including the income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 on the FICA Amount, and to pay the additional income tax at
source on wages attributable to additional Code Section 3401 wages and taxes. 
  
 (d) Short-Term Deferrals. Except to the extent otherwise required or permitted under Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance, the Board shall (unless an individual Stock Incentive Agreement
provides otherwise) provide that distributions pursuant to Stock Incentives must be made no later than the later of (1) the date that is 2-1/2 months from the end of the Participant’s first taxable year in which the Stock Incentive is no longer
subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or (2) the date that is 2-1/2 months from the end of the Company’s first taxable year in which the Stock Incentive is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. In no event will
accelerations under this subsection be allowed for any amounts in excess of the FICA Amount and the income tax at source on wages attributable thereto. 
  
 (e) Deferral Elections. 
  
 (1) In the sole discretion of the Board, a Participant may be permitted to make an election as to the time and form of any distribution
from a Stock Incentive, provided that, except as specified in (2) and (3) below, such election is made not later than the close of the taxable year preceding the taxable year in which the services for which the Stock Incentive is granted are to be
performed, or at such other time or times as may be permitted under Code Section 409A, related regulations or other guidance. 
  
 (2) In the case of the first year in which the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, the election described in (1) may
be made within 30 days after the date the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan with respect to services to be performed subsequent to the election. 
  
 (3) In the case of any performance-based compensation (as that term is defined in Code Section 409A, related
regulations or other guidance), where such compensation is based on services performed over a period of at least 12 months, the election described in (A) may be made no later than six months before the end of the performance period. 
  
 (f) Subsequent Elections. To the extent that the Board, in its sole
discretion, permits a subsequent election to delay a payment or change the form of payment that has been specified under (1), (2) or (3) above, the following provisions shall apply: 
  
 (1) Such election may not take effect until 12 months after the date on which the election is made;

  
 (2) Where the payment is to be made for
reasons other than death, disability or unforeseeable emergency, as those terms are defined in Section 15.2(a), above, the first payment with respect to which such election is made must be deferred for a period of not less than five years from the
date such payment would otherwise have been made; and

 (3) Any election related to a payment based upon a specified time or pursuant to a fixed
schedule, as such terms are defined in Section 15.2(a), above, may not be made less than 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment hereunder.
