 Mr. Anthony J. Ponsiglione II 
 1030 Manakin Road 
 Manakin-Sabot, VA 23103 
  
 Dear Tony: 
  
 This letter confirms our offer and your acceptance of the position of Vice President, Human Resources with AMF Bowling
Worldwide, Inc. (“AMF”). This position will report directly to Frederick R. Hipp, President and CEO. 
  

	 	1.	Compensation. 

  
 You will be classified as an exempt-level executive employee. You will be compensated at a rate of $240,000 per year annualized, payable on a bi-weekly
basis at a rate of $9,230.77. 
  
 Each year you will be eligible
to participate in AMF’s incentive bonus plan with a target bonus equal to 40% of your base salary. This bonus will be based on your individual performance and the performance of AMF and otherwise subject to the terms of the incentive plan for
the year. For FY 2005, the bonus will be prorated for the partial year based on your start date. 
  

	 	2.	Equity. 

  
 AMF will pay you a signing bonus of $25,000, the net proceeds of which ($16,970) must be invested in the equity units of Kingpin Holdings, LLC
(“Kingpin”), AMF’s parent company, at a price of $10 per share, the same price paid by Code Hennessy & Simmons IV LP in its recent acquisition of AMF. These 1,697 units will be subject to three year cliff vesting based on
continued employment for this period. If you voluntarily resign or are terminated with cause before the end of three years, Kingpin will be entitled to repurchase these 1,697 equity units for $1 in total for all units purchased with the proceeds of
this hiring bonus. These equity units will be subject to a pledge to secure your obligation to convey them to Kingpin if you voluntarily resign or are terminated with cause and will also be subject to the terms and conditions of the equity purchase
program that Kingpin has made available to its other senior managers (the “Equity Program”). 
  
 Additionally, you will be eligible to participate in the Equity Program on the same basis as other senior managers, including Kingpin loaning you up to
50% of the purchase price of equity units that you purchase. The $16,970 invested pursuant to the signing bonus will count as an investment made by you for purposes of calculating the maximum amount of loan available. 
  

 Mr. Anthony J. Ponsiglione, II 
 August 2, 2004

 Finally, you will be eligible to participate in Kingpin’s proposed stock option program. Grants will be made based on the CEO’s recommendation
and Board approval. Your initial option grant will be for 5,000 units. 
  

	 	3.	Benefits. 

  
 During your employment, you will be eligible to participate in such benefit programs as are generally offered to senior managers who are direct reports of
the CEO. These benefits are commonly referred to as Tier 1 Benefits, and you will receive a copy of these benefits as an attachment to this offer letter. In this regard, in accordance with the Senior Manager Severance Plan, in the event of a
termination without cause, your base salary would be continued for 12 months. You will also be entitled to three weeks vacation until your vacation accrual according to the standard benefit program reaches that level of accrual. During your first
year, this benefit will be prorated based upon your start date. 
  

	 	4.	Relocation. 

  
 In connection with your relocation to Richmond, you are eligible to reimbursement for a full service move, any commissions paid to realtors in selling
your current home, two house hunting trips to Richmond for you and your immediate family, temporary living expenses and closing costs on a home you purchase in Richmond. You will also receive a lump sum payment of $20,000 to cover incidental
expenses associated with your relocation. 
  
 Enclosed is a
summary of benefits, Tier 1 summary of benefits, an employee handbook and documents necessary to establish your personnel file. Please review and complete the required documents and return to me. 
  
 This letter supersedes any prior correspondence or discussions between you
and AMF relating to your employment with AMF and your purchase of Kingpin equity units or its option program. 
  
 Tony, we look forward to your joining our team! Please feel free to contact me at 804-730-4371 if you have any questions.

Plan, (iii) waive any terms or conditions of an Award (including, without limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting conditions); (iv) interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency, correct any default and/or supply any omission in the
Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or Award made under, the Plan; (v) establish, amend, suspend, or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and

 - 4 - 

 SECTION 5 Bonus Pools 
  
 (a) Calculation. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, the Committee shall establish two separate bonus pools
(“Bonus Pool-A” and “Bonus Pool-B”), as follows: 
  
 (1) Bonus Pool-A shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: 5.85% x ($125,000,000 + Final Net Equity Value), provided, however, that in no event shall Bonus Pool-A exceed eight million seven hundred
ninety-eight thousand four hundred dollars ($8,798,400). 
  
 (2)
Bonus Pool-B shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: 2.0% x ($125,000,000 + Final Net Equity Value), provided, however, that in no event shall Bonus Pool-B exceed three million eight thousand dollars ($3,008,000). 

 
 Payment of the bonus pools shall be subject to Sections 8 and 9 below. Examples of the
method by which the bonus pools and payouts thereof will be calculated is attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, but such examples shall be incorporated herein solely for purposes of illustration and shall not be binding in any manner.

  
 (b) Bonus Pool Adjustment. Notwithstanding any
provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event the Committee determines that any extraordinary dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, issuance of warrants, sale of Company securities, sale of
Company assets or those of its subsidiaries, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Final Net Equity Value of the Company such that an adjustment to the Bonus Pools is determined by the Committee in good faith to be appropriate
in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall in good faith adjust the manner in which the Bonus Pools shall be calculated for purposes of the
Plan in a manner that is equitable for the Participants. 
  
 (c)
Grant of Awards. 
  
 (1) From time to time, on or prior
to the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, the Committee, in consultation with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, may make Awards to Participants under the Plan. Such Awards shall be expressed as a right, subject to satisfaction of the terms
and conditions of the Award, to receive a stipulated number of either (i) LTIP-A Units, each of which shall equate to one percent (1%) of Bonus Pool-A, or (ii) LTIP-B Units, each of which shall equate to one percent (1%) of Bonus Pool-B. 

 
 (2) A Participant’s aggregate number of LTIP Units, divided by 100,
shall constitute that Participant’s “LTIP Percentage.” 
  
 (3) In the event all or any portion of an Award is forfeited or the total of LTIP Percentages for either Bonus Pool is less than 100% as of the date of a Liquidity Event, then each Participant’s LTIP Percentage
for the applicable Bonus Pool shall automatically be increased on a pro rata basis so that 100% of each Bonus Pool would be awarded in the event of a Liquidity Event. 
  
 (d) Award Date. For each Participant, the Award shall be effective as of the Effective Date of this Plan 

 

 - 5 - 

 SECTION 6 Vesting 
  
 (a) Vesting Schedule. 
  
 (1) LTIP-A Units shall commence vesting on the Effective Date (i.e., July 1, 2004), provided, however, that fifty percent (50%) of the Award of LTIP-A
Units to each Participant shall be immediately vested as of such date. Thereafter, an additional twenty percent (20%) of the Award shall vest on each anniversary of the Effective Date while the Participant is employed. 
  
 (2) LTIP-B Units shall commence vesting on the Effective Date. Thereafter,
twenty percent (20%) of the Award of LTIP-B Units shall vest on each anniversary of the Effective Date while the Participant is employed. 
  
 (3) If the Participant ceases employment with the Company for any reason other than termination for Cause, such Participant’s vesting for his final
year of employment shall be prorated by the number of months employed since the previous anniversary of the Effective Date (e.g., if such Participant ceases employment nine months after an anniversary of the Effective Date, such Participant shall
receive 15%, or 75% of 20%, vesting for such year). 
  
 (b)
Acceleration on Liquidity Event. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, each Award shall automatically become 100% vested for (a) those Participants then employed by the Company and (b) those Participants who are not then employed by the
Company but who ceased employment for Good Reason within six (6) months prior to the Liquidity Event or whom the Company terminated without Cause within six (6) months prior to the Liquidity Event. 
  
 (c) Additional Awards and Subsequent Participants. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Plan, if the Committee grants either (i) an additional Award to a Participant subsequent to such Participant’s original Award or (ii) an Award to a Participant who was not an initial Participant in the Plan
(either such Award to be referred to herein as an “Additional Award”), the Committee, in consultation with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, shall in its sole discretion designate an Effective Date, Initial Appreciation
and vesting schedule (including, without limitation, the applicability of Section 6(b) above) for any such Additional Award that may differ from the original Awards granted to initial Participants and may differ from the manner in which such terms
are otherwise defined hereunder. 
  
 (d) Effect of Termination
of Employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, a Participant’s termination of employment prior to the occurrence of a Liquidity Event shall affect his rights pursuant to an Award previously granted as follows: 

 
 (1) No Reduction in Vesting. If, prior to a Liquidity Event, a
Participant ceases his employment for Good Reason, or the Company terminates the employment of a Participant without Cause, such Participant shall remain entitled to the entire vested portion of his Award, which shall be calculated in accordance
with section 6(a) above; provided, however, that if such cessation for Good Reason or termination without Cause occurs within six (6) months prior to the Liquidity Event, the Participant will receive accelerated vesting under section
6(b) above. 
  
 (2) Reduction of Vesting. If a Participant
voluntarily ceases his employment without Good Reason prior to a Liquidity Event, such Participant shall forfeit fifty percent (50%) of the vested portion of his Award. Such vested portion shall be calculated in accordance with section 6(a) above.

  

 - 6 - 

 (3) Forfeiture of Award. If the Company terminates the employment of a Participant for Cause, or
if a Participant obtains employment with or consults for a Company competitor (as may be determined by the Committee in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date of a Liquidity Event, such Participant shall immediately forfeit his entire Award.

  
 SECTION 7 Payouts 
  
 (a) Timing. Any Award not previously forfeited by a Participant shall
be valued upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event and paid to such Participant in cash within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of such Liquidity Event. 
  
 (b) Bonus Pool-A Payout. Each Participant shall receive a payout of a portion of Bonus Pool-A, to be calculated as
follows for each Participant: 
  
 Bonus Pool-A

 x 
 Participant’s LTIP Percentage (in Bonus Pool-A) 
 x 
 Participant’s Vested Percentage (in Bonus Pool-A) 
 x 
 Participant’s Net Equity Value Percentage (for Bonus Pool-A) 
  
 (c) Bonus Pool-B Payout. Each Participant shall receive a payout of a portion of Bonus Pool-B, to be calculated as follows for each Participant: 
  
 Bonus Pool-B 
 x 
 Participant’s LTIP Percentage (in Bonus Pool-B) 
 x 
 Participant’s Vested Percentage (in Bonus Pool-B) 
 x 
 Participant’s Net Equity Value Percentage (for Bonus Pool-A) 
  
 (d) Payout Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing formulas, if the sum of all payouts to all Participants under
Section 7(b) is less than the entire Bonus Pool-A, or if the sum of all payouts to all Participants under Section 7(c) is less than the entire Bonus Pool-B, as such Bonus Pools are calculated under section 5(a) above, then each such payout shall be
increased on a pro rata basis so that 100% of each Bonus Pool, if any, will be awarded in the event of a Liquidity Event. 
  
 (e) Calculation of Additional Awards. For ease of administration, payouts of any Additional Awards to an initial Participant that have different
terms from the original Award to the same Participant shall be calculated separately from the calculation of the payout due under the original Award. 
  

 - 7 - 

 SECTION 8 Restrictions in Debt Agreements 
  
 (a) Conflict with Debt Instruments. Neither this Plan nor any Award
shall be or become a binding obligation on the Company if, and to the extent that, such obligation would result in a breach, default or an event of default under any Company Debt Instruments. 
  
 (b) Payment Deferral. In the event any payment by the Company
hereunder is prohibited or otherwise would result in a default or an event of default under any Company Debt Instruments, the Company shall have the right to defer payment in respect of such Awards until ten (10) days following the date on which
such prohibition or restriction ceases to exist with respect to such Awards, during which time the payments in respect of such Awards shall accrue interest at the Interest Rate. 
  
 (c) Promissory Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such prohibition or restriction remains in effect for a period
of more than three (3) months from the Liquidity Event, the Company shall deliver a subordinated promissory note, payable in equal installments over five years and bearing interest at the Interest Rate, if the delivery of such promissory note would
not result in a breach, default or an event of default under any Company Debt Instruments. Each such promissory note would further provide that all principal and interest due thereunder would become immediately due and payable upon the cessation of
any prohibition or restriction in respect of the Awards. 
  
 SECTION 9 Amendments and Termination 
  
 (a) Amendments to the Plan. The Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or
termination shall be made without approval of a majority of the Company’s members if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan and provided, further, that any such
amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would impair the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected
Participant, holder or beneficiary. 
  
 (b) Amendments to
Awards. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver, amendment,
alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would impair the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the
affected Participant, holder or beneficiary, except as provided in Section 8 above. 
  
 SECTION 10 General Provisions 
  
 (a) Non-transferability. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment,
alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. 
  

 - 8 - 

 (b) No Rights to Awards. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any
Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the
same with respect to each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated). 
  
 (c) Withholding. A Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is
hereby authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Units, other securities, other Awards or other
property) of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all
obligations for the payment of such taxes. 
  
 (d) No Right to
Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of, or in any consulting relationship to, the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time
dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement. 
  
 (e) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the
Plan and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 
  
 (f) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed
amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain
in full force and effect. 
  
 (g) No Trust or Fund Created.
Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires
a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. 
  
 (h) Headings. Headings are given to the sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate
reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

	1	Participant 3’s vested percentage is less than 100% because such participant voluntarily terminated employment prior to Liquidity Event and had his vesting
reduced pursuant to section 6(d)(2). Final NEV was calculated on last day of employment rather than date of Liquidity Event. 

	2	Participant 6 terminated his employment for Good Reason, so Participant’s vesting percentage was not reduced because section 6(d)(1) governs such
participant’s employment termination. But such participant’s Net Equity Value is calculated on last day of employment, when the NEV was lower than it was on the date of the Liquidity Event.
