 Exhibit 10.22 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 THIS EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of February 23, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) by and between AGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and Nicholas Paul Kimokeo Akiona
(“Executive”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive as its Chief Financial Officer pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, Executive desires to serve in such position. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1.Nature of Employment Relationship.
Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at-will,” meaning that either Executive or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason, either with or
without cause. The “at-will” nature of Executive’s employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by both Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company. 

2.Terms of Employment. 

(a)          Position; Location. During his employment with the
Company, Executive shall serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. During his employment, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which Executive may be entitled, Executive agrees to devote all of his business attention
and time to the business and affairs of the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to Executive hereunder, to use his reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities.
Executive agrees that he will not engage in any other gainful employment, business or activity without the written consent of the Company. Executive’s services shall be performed in the Las Vegas, Nevada area, subject to reasonable business
travel at the Company’s request. 
 (b)          Compensation and Employee
Benefits. 
 (i)        Base Salary. Executive shall receive an annual base salary
(“Base Salary”) of $275,000, payable in 26 installments accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices for salaried employees. The Base Salary and payment schedule are subject to adjustment at the sole discretion of the
Company. If the Base Salary is adjusted at the discretion of the Company, the term “Base Salary” shall refer to such adjusted amount. 

(ii)        Annual Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual
performance-based bonus pursuant to an annual managerial bonus plan to be established by the Company, with an annual target bonus equal to 50% of Executive’s Base Salary. Actual annual bonus amounts payable under this Section 2(b)(ii)
shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion based on the attainment of financial results and earnings targets for the fiscal year in question. 

(iii)        Employee Benefit Plans and Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to
participate in the employee health benefits plan provided by the Company for employees and family. Executive will also be eligible for participation in the Company’s 401k plan. Executive shall be entitled to four (4) weeks paid
vacation annually. Vacation will accrue on a monthly basis. Eligibility for participation in these benefits will be determined by the requirements of the plan(s) in effect at the time Executive commences employment and is subject to adjustment
pursuant to the Company’s policies and plans in effect, which may change from time to time. Employee shall also be entitled to participate in employee benefit plans, long term incentive plans, practices, policies and programs generally
applicable to employees of the Company on the same terms applicable to similarly situated senior executives of the company. 

(iv)        Expenses. Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all
reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in accordance with the Company’s policies. 
 3.Termination of Employment Due to Death or
Disability. Executive’s employment shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the
definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to Executive written notice in accordance with Section 7(b) of this Agreement of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In such event, Executive’s employment

  
 1 

 
with the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by Executive (the “Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the 30 days after
such receipt, Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of Executive’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the absence of Executive from Executive’s duties with the Company on a
full-time basis for 90 business days within a one-year period as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness that is determined to be permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its
insurers and reasonably acceptable to Executive or Executive’s legal representative. 
 1.Severance. The Company will provide
Executive with nine (9) months of severance at Executive’s Base Salary in effect on the date of termination of employment in the event Executive is terminated without cause. For purposes of this section, “cause” includes failure
to correct underperformance after written notification from the CEO or Board, illegal and/or fraudulent conduct, conviction of a felony, a determination that Executive’s involvement with the Company would have a negative impact on the
Company’s ability to receive or retain any necessary licenses, willful or material misrepresentation to the Company, or refusal to take any action as reasonably directed by the Board or any individual acting on behalf of or at the direction of
the Board. Payment of severance pursuant to this section is conditioned and contingent upon the execution by Executive of a standard release of claims. 

2.Restrictive Covenants. 

(a)          Confidentiality: Work Product. During Executive’s employment
with the Company and its subsidiaries and thereafter, Executive will not divulge, transmit or otherwise disclose (except as legally compelled by court order), directly or indirectly, any confidential knowledge or information with respect to the
operations, finances, organization or employees of the Company or its affiliates or with respect to trade secret, intellectual property, confidential 

processes, services, techniques, customers or plans with respect to the Company and its affiliates, and Executive will not use, directly or indirectly, any
confidential or trade secret information of the Company and its affiliates for the benefit of anyone other than the Company or its affiliates; provided, however, that Executive’s employment by a subsequent employer while Executive still has
knowledge of any such confidential or trade secret information shall not constitute a breach of this provision so long as Executive does not disclose the same to any third party. All new processes, techniques,
know-how, inventions, plans, products, patents and devices developed, made or invented by Executive, alone or with others, while an employee of the Company and its subsidiaries that are related to the business
of the Company or its affiliates shall be and become the sole property of the Company, and Executive hereby assigns any and all rights therein or thereto to the Company. All files, records, correspondence, memoranda, notes or other documents
(including, without limitation, those in computer-readable form) or property relating or belonging to the Company and its affiliates, whether prepared by Executive or otherwise coming into his possession in the course of the performance of his
services, shall be the exclusive property of the Company and shall be delivered to the Company and not retained by Executive (including, without limitation, any copies thereof) upon termination of employment for any reason whatsoever. 

(a)          Noncompetition. While employed by the Company and its subsidiaries
and for a period of nine (9) months thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), Executive shall not directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, consult with, be employed by, participate in the ownership, management, operation or
control of, or otherwise render services to or engage in, any business that engages in any line of business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries during the Covered Period (defined below) within any jurisdiction or marketing area in which
the Company or any of its subsidiaries is doing business or has invested and established good will in demonstrating an intent to do business during the Covered Period (a “Competitive Business”); provided that Executive’s
ownership of securities of 2% or less of any publicly traded class of securities of a public company shall not violate this Section 5(b). The “Covered Period” shall mean the period beginning as of the Effective Date and ending as of
the end of the sixth month following the termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. 

(b)          Nonsolicitation. During the Restricted Period, Executive shall
not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit for employment any individual who is then an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or who was an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries within the previous 12 months
(a “Covered Employee”), or (ii) contract for, hire or employ any Covered Employee earning at least $100,000 in annualized base compensation as of the Covered Employee’s most recent date of employment with the Company.
During the Restricted Period, the Executive shall also not take any action that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of encouraging or inducing any employee, representative, officer or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to
cease his or her relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any reason. In addition, during the Restricted Period, the Executive shall not, with respect to providing services in a Competitive Business, solicit for business or
accept the business of, any person or entity who is, or was at any time within the previous 12 months, a customer of the business conducted by the Company (or potential customer with whom the Company had initiated contact) or its affiliates. 

(c)          Nondisparagement. At all times during Executive’s employment and
thereafter, Executive shall refrain 

  
 2 

 
from all conduct, verbal or otherwise, that disparages or damages the reputation, goodwill, or standing in the community of Apollo Management VIII, LP (“Apollo”), the Company or
any of their respective affiliates; and at all times during Executive’s employment and thereafter, the Company and its subsidiaries will, subject to requirements of law, refrain from all conduct, verbal or otherwise, that disparages or damages
the reputation, goodwill, or standing in the community of Executive. 

(e)          Representations. Executive represents to the Company and its
affiliates that, in fulfilling his duties or responsibilities to the Company and its affiliates or for any other reason, he will not disclose or disseminate any information from any of his former employers that would be considered by such former
employers to be confidential information. In addition, he represents that, except as previously disclosed to AGS in writing, he is not subject to any covenant not to compete that would limit his ability to fulfill his duties and responsibilities
hereunder. 
 (f)          Remedies. The parties agree that the provisions of
Sections 5(a), 5(b), 5(c) and 5(d) (the “Covenants”) have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties and agree that all such provisions are reasonable under the circumstances of the activities contemplated by this
Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Covenants are reasonable in light of all of the circumstances, are sufficiently limited to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its affiliates, impose no undue hardship
on Executive, and are not injurious to the public, and further acknowledges and agrees that Executive’s breach of the Covenants will cause the Company irreparable harm, which cannot be adequately compensated by money damages, and that if the
Company elects to prevent Executive from breaching such provisions by obtaining an injunction against Executive, there is a reasonable probability of the Company’s eventual success on the merits. Accordingly, notwithstanding Section 7(a)
of this Agreement, Executive consents and agrees that if the Executive commits any such breach or threatens to commit any breach, the Company shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction,
without posting any bond or other security and without the necessity of proof of actual damage, in addition to, and not in lieu of, such other remedies as may be available to the Company for such breach, including the recovery of money damages. In
the event that the Covenants shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of their being too extensive
in any other respect, they shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which they may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which they may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other
respects as to which they may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action. 

(g)          Survival. The provisions of this Section 5 shall
survive termination of employment for any reason. 
 3.Successors. This Agreement is personal to Executive and without the prior
written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s legal representatives. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in
this Agreement , “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid that assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise. 

4.Miscellaneous. 

(a)          Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. Subject to Section 5(f) of this Agreement, Executive specifically agrees and consents that any controversy or
claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by final, binding and nonappealable arbitration in Las Vegas, Nevada. Subject to the following provisions, any such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules
of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Any award entered by the arbitrators shall be final, binding and nonappealable and judgment may be entered thereon by either party in accordance with applicable law in any court of competent
jurisdiction. This arbitration provision shall be specifically enforceable. The captions of this Agreement are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. 

(b)          Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be given by hand delivery to the other party or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

 If to the Executive: To the most recent address on file with the Company. 

If to the Company, to:

ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT

89119 Facsimile: (702) 722-6705 Attention : Vic Gallo 
 or to such other address as either party shall
have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith . Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee. 

(c)          Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable
under this Agreement such Federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. 

(d)          Section 409A. It is intended that payments and benefits made or
provided under this Agreement shall comply with Section 409A or an exemption thereto. For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be
treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying the exclusion under Section 409A for short-term deferral amounts, the separation pay exception or any other exception or exclusion under Section 409A. All
payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A to the extent necessary in order to avoid the imposition of penalty taxes on the
Executive pursuant to Section 409A. In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement that are subject to Section 409A shall be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that
(i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during the Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement); (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or
in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year;
(iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (iv) the right to reimbursement or
in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent required in order to comply with Section 409A, amounts and
benefits to be paid or provided under Section 4 of this Agreement during the period between the Executive’s termination of service with the Company and the six-month anniversary thereof, shall be
paid or provided to the Executive on the first business day after the date that is six months following the date of such termination. 

(e)          Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement supersedes all
agreements between the parties, whether oral or written, covering the same subject matter. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal
representatives.

(including, for avoidance of doubt, any syndication vehicles) to which any transfers of Common Stock are made and (d) VoteCo, to the extent that it has beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock pursuant to that certain Irrevocable Proxy
and Power of Attorney of the Company, dated as of the date hereof. 
 Section 1.1    Definitions. As used in
this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 
 “Affiliate” means in the case of a Person,
another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with such Person; provided, that neither the Corporation nor any of its Subsidiaries will be deemed an
Affiliate of any Stockholder or any of such Stockholders’ Affiliates or VoteCo. For the avoidance of doubt, any co-investment vehicle controlled by any member of the Apollo Group shall be deemed to be an
Affiliate of the Apollo Group hereunder. The term “Affiliate” shall not include at any time any portfolio companies of Apollo Management VIII, L.P. or its Affiliates, other than the Holdings, VoteCo, the Corporation and their
respective Subsidiaries. 
 As used in this definition, the term “control,” including the correlative terms
“controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with,” means possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies (whether through ownership of securities
or any partnership or other ownership interest, by contract or otherwise) of a Person.

certain Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney of the Company, dated as of the date hereof. 

“Articles of Incorporation” means the articles of incorporation of the Corporation on file in the office of the Nevada

of transactions; or (iii) the consummation of a tender offer, merger, recapitalization, consolidation, business combination, reorganization or other transaction, or series of related transactions, involving the Corporation and any other Person

Section 5.1(a). 
 Section 5.2    Nominees. 

(a)    The Corporation shall take all necessary actions so as to cause to be elected to the Board of Directors, and to
cause to continue in office, at any given time, a number of individuals nominated by Holdings (each, a “Stockholder Nominee”) equal to: 

(i)    for so long as the Percentage Interest of the Apollo Group and its Permitted Transferees is at least 50%, the
Percentage Interest of the Apollo Group and its Permitted Transferees multiplied by the total number of directorships comprising the Board of Directors (i.e., for the avoidance of doubt, including any vacancies and newly created
directorships) (the “Entire Board”), and rounded up to the nearest whole number; and 
 (ii)    for so
long as the Percentage Interest of the Apollo Group and its Permitted Transferees is at least 5% but less than 50%, the greater of (x) the Percentage Interest of the Apollo Group and its Permitted Transferees multiplied by the total number of
directorships comprising the Entire Board and rounded up to the nearest whole number and (y) one.

to the Board of Directors, including soliciting proxies or consents in favor thereof to the same or greater extent as it does so in favor of the other members of such slate, (iii) not permit the number of persons nominated or recommended by the
Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) to exceed the number of directorships to be elected at such meeting (or by such action by written consent without a meeting) and (iv) use its best efforts to cause each class of the Board of Directors
to include, to the extent practicable, at least one Stockholder Nominee.

within its control so that a Stockholder Nominee will not be removed from the Board of Directors without the approval of Holdings, so long as the Percentage Interest of the Apollo Group and its Permitted Transferees continues to equal or exceed 5%.

owned by the Apollo Group for the removal of such Stockholder Nominee, and the Corporation shall take all required action, if any, to permit the taking of such vote and removal by the Apollo Group. 

(d)    In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of
any director who was a Stockholder Nominee, the Corporation agrees to take at any time and from time to time all actions necessary to cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled as promptly as practicable by a new Stockholder Nominee;
provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, Holdings shall not have the right to nominate a new Stockholder Nominee, and the Board of Directors and the Apollo Group shall not be required to take any action to cause any vacancy to be filled
with any such new Stockholder Nominee, to the extent that election or appointment of such new Stockholder Nominee to the Board of Directors would result in a number of Stockholder Nominees serving on the Board of Directors being in excess of the
number of Stockholder Nominees to which Holdings is then entitled pursuant to Section 5.2(a). 

(e)    If the number of directors entitled to be nominated as Stockholder Nominees pursuant to
Section 5.2(a) decreases, the Stockholder Nominee(s) then in office as directors need not resign from the Board of Directors at or prior to the end of such director’s term and, if the Board of Directors (or a committee
thereof) recommends the nomination of such director(s) for election at the next annual meeting coinciding with the end of such director’s term or otherwise is reelected to the Board of Directors thereafter, such director shall no longer be
considered a Stockholder Nominee. 
 Section 5.3    Committees. For so long as this Agreement is in effect,
the Corporation shall take all necessary actions to cause to be appointed to each committee of the Board of Directors a number of Stockholder Nominees that is as proportionate (rounding up to the next whole director) to the number of members of such
committee as is the number of Stockholder Nominees that Holdings is entitled to nominate to the Board of Directors under this Agreement to the number of directorships constituting the Entire Board, in each case to the extent such directors are
permitted to serve on such committee 

  
 11 

 
under the applicable rules of the SEC and any applicable stock exchange. It is understood by the parties hereto that Holdings shall not have any obligation to appoint any Stockholder Nominee to
any committee of the Board of Directors and any failure to exercise such right in this section in a prior period shall not constitute any waiver of such right in a subsequent period.

ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEVADA. 

Section 9.5    Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY AND ALL SUITS, LEGAL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT (INCLUDING AGAINST ANY DIRECTOR OR OFFICER OF THE CORPORATION) SHALL BE BROUGHT SOLELY IN THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, OR IN THE EVENT SUCH COURT DENIES JURISDICTION, IN ANY OTHER STATE OR FEDERAL

ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 
 Section 9.6    Equitable Remedies. The parties
hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable remedies to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or
in equity. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with respect to such remedy are hereby waived by each of the parties hereto. Each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for an injunction or other equitable remedy

Section 9.7    Construction. This Agreement shall be construed as if all parties hereto prepared this
Agreement.

 17 

 
right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement or provision contained herein, it being the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit
of such parties (or such legal representatives, successors, heirs and distributees) and for the benefit of no other Person. 

Section 9.10    Binding Effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, all the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Neither VoteCo nor any Stockholder may assign any of its rights hereunder to any Person

conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to comply with all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no successor or assignee of the Corporation shall have any rights granted under this Agreement
until such Person shall acknowledge its rights and obligations hereunder by a signed written statement of such Person’s acceptance of such rights and obligations. 

Section 9.11    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement as applied to any party or to
any circumstance, shall be adjudged by a court to be void, unenforceable or inoperative as a matter of law, then the same shall in no way affect any other provision in this Agreement, the application of such provision in any other circumstance or
with respect to any other party, or the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole. 

Section 9.12    Adjustments Upon Change of Capitalization. In the event of any change in the outstanding
Common Stock, by reason of dividends, distributions, splits, reverse splits, spin-offs, split-ups, recapitalizations, combinations, exchanges of shares and the like, the term “Common Stock” shall
refer to and include the securities received or resulting therefrom, but only to the extent such securities are received in exchange for or in respect of Common Stock. 

Section 9.13    Amendments; Waivers. 

(a)    No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in
the case of an amendment, by the Corporation and Holdings, or in the case of a waiver, by either the Corporation if such waiver is to be effective against the Corporation, or Holdings, if such waiver is to be effective against the Stockholders or
VoteCo; provided that any amendment or waiver that affects the rights or obligations of any Stockholder hereunder in a manner disproportionately adverse to such Stockholder as compared to the other Stockholders shall require the written
consent of such Stockholder. 
 (b)    No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, 

  
 18 

 
power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 

Section 9.14    Actions in Other Capacities. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit, restrict or otherwise
affect any actions taken by any Stockholder in its capacity as a stockholder, partner or member of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or Controlled Affiliates, nor shall any of the Corporation’s covenants herein in any way limit,
restrict or otherwise affect the ability of any director or officer of the Corporation to exercise his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Corporation; provided, that the Corporation shall nevertheless in all events remain
liable for any breach of its covenants under this Agreement. 

Section 9.15    Non-Recourse. No officer or director of the
Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation, VoteCo or any Stockholder as a result of any acts or omissions taken under this Agreement in good faith. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and
notwithstanding that VoteCo or certain of the Stockholders may be limited partnerships or limited liability companies, VoteCo and each Stockholder covenants, agrees and acknowledges that, except as required by applicable law, no recourse under this
Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against the Apollo Group or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their former, current or future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling
persons, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, financing sources, accountants, advisors, managers, general or limited partners, assignees or representatives (“Related Parties”), whether by the
enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by
any of the Related Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of the Corporation, the Apollo Group or any Stockholder, under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement in respect of or by reason
of obligations or liabilities or their creation.
