The Selling Stockholder will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal expenses for one firm of counsel (in addition to one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict, one additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) or other documented expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, and in connection with the enforcement of this provision with respect to the above as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Selling Stockholder will only be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Selling Stockholder specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Selling Stockholder consists of the following information: the Selling Stockholder’s name and corresponding share amounts set forth in the table of Selling Stockholders in the Registration Statement and Final Prospectus under the heading “Selling Stockholder” and the Selling Stockholder’s address.

(c)Indemnification of Company and Selling Stockholder Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each Selling Stockholder (each, an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal expenses for one firm of counsel (in addition to one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict, one additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) or other documented expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Underwriter Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the first sentence of the third paragraph, the twelfth paragraph and the thirteenth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest).”

(d)Actions against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other reasonable and documented expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict, one additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for all indemnified parties, and that all such reasonable and documented fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, or any of its affiliates, or any directors, officers, employees and/or control persons of such Underwriter or any of its affiliates, shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

(e)Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before

deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholder bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Stockholder or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal expenses for one firm of counsel (in addition to one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict, one additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) or other documented expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (e). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of fees actually received by such Underwriter in connection with the offering. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(e).

9.Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either the First Closing Date or any Optional Closing Date and the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, Credit Suisse may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company and the Selling Stockholder for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, thenon-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to Credit Suisse, the Company and the Selling Stockholder for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, the Company or the Representatives will have the right, by written notice within the next36-hour period to the parties to this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of anynon-defaulting Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Stockholder, except as provided in Section 10 (provided that if such default occurs with respect to Optional Securities after the First Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Securities or any Optional Securities purchased prior to such termination). As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

10.Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Selling Stockholder, of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Selling Stockholder, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company and the Selling Stockholder will, jointly and severally, reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable and documentedout-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel, one firm of gaming regulatory counsel and one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities, and the respective obligations of the Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall remain in effect.

11.Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the Representatives, c/o Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10010-3629, Attention: IBCM-Legal, or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed or delivered and confirmed to it at 5475 S. Decatur Blvd., Suite 100, Las Vegas NV, 89118, Attention: General Counsel; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to such Underwriter at the address specified in Schedule C hereto.

12.Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

13.Representation of Underwriters. The Representatives will act for the several Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any action under this Agreement taken by the Representatives jointly (or only by the Designated Representatives or only by Credit Suisse, in each case where so specified) will be binding upon all the Underwriters.

14.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

15. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship.The Company and the Selling Stockholder acknowledge and agree that:

(a)No Other Relationship. The Representatives have been retained solely to act as underwriters in connection with the sale of the Offered Securities and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company or the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Representatives, on the other, has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Final Prospectus, irrespective of whether the Representatives have advised or are advising the Company or the Selling Stockholder on other matters;

(b)Arms’ Length Negotiations.The price of the Offered Securities set forth in this Agreement was established by Company and the Selling Stockholder following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Representatives and the Company and the Selling Stockholder are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c)Absence of Obligation to Disclose.The Company and the Selling Stockholder have been advised that the Representatives and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company or the Selling Stockholder and that the Representatives have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company or the Selling Stockholder by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

(d)Waiver. The Company and the Selling Stockholder waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims they may have against the Representatives for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agree that the Representatives shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company or the Selling Stockholder in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.

16.Applicable Law.This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

The Company hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

17.Waiver of Jury Trial. The Company and the Selling Stockholder hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

If the foregoing is in accordance with the Representatives’ understanding of our agreement, kindly sign and return to the Company one of the counterparts hereof, whereupon it will become a binding agreement among the Selling Stockholder, the Company and the several Underwriters in accordance with its terms.

MACQUARIE CAPITAL (USA) INC.

As Representatives of the Several Underwriters,

c/o Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC,

Eleven Madison Avenue,

New York, N.Y. 10010-3629

Ladies and Gentlemen:

As an inducement to the underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), pursuant to which an offering (the “Offering”) will be made that is intended to result in the establishment of a public market for the common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Securities”) of PlayAGS, Inc., and any successor (by merger or otherwise) thereto (the “Company”), the undersigned hereby agrees that during the period specified in the second following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Securities, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Securities, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Representatives.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Designated Representatives, it will not, during theLock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Securities, other than any demand for or exercise of any right with respect to any confidential ornon-public submission for registration of any Securities or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Securities (provided that, in the case of any such confidential ornon-public submission, (a) no public announcement of such demand or exercise of rights shall be made, (b) no public announcement of such confidential ornon-public submission shall be made, (c) the undersigned or the Company shall give each Designated Representative written notice at least two business days prior to such submission and (d) no such confidential ornon-public submission shall become a publicly available registration statement during theLock-Up Period).

TheLock-Up Period will commence on the date of thisLock-Up Agreement and continue and include the date that is 45 days after the public offering date set forth on the Final Prospectus (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, to which you are or expect to become parties.

The undersigned agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of thisLock-Up Agreement during the period from the date of thisLock-Up Agreement to and including the 34^th day following the expiration of theLock-Up Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that theLock-Up Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has expired.

Any Securities received upon exercise of options granted to the undersigned will also be subject to thisLock-Up Agreement. Any Securities acquired by the undersigned in the open market will not be subject to thisLock-Up Agreement. A transfer of Securities to a family member or trust may be made; provided that the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of thisLock-Up Agreement prior to such transfer, such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of theLock-Up Period). For purposes of thisLock-Up Agreement, a “family member” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage, domestic partnership or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer any or all of the Securities or other Company securities by:

(a)

entering into transactions with the prior written consent of the Designated Representatives,

(b)

transferring any Securities or any security convertible into Securities pursuant to a will, other testamentary document or applicable laws of descent, a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement,

(c)

transferring any Securities or any security convertible into Securities as a bona fide gift,

(d)

distributing any Securities or any security convertible into Securities to limited partners, general partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned or to any investment holding entity controlled by or managed by the undersigned;

(e)

distributing any Securities or any security convertible into Securities to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the undersigned and the immediate family of the undersigned are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests;

(f)

(i) the exercise of stock options solely with cash granted pursuant to equity incentive plans of the Company and its subsidiaries described in the Final Prospectus, and the receipt by the undersigned from the Company of Securities upon such exercise and (ii) the exercise of restricted stock units granted pursuant to employment arrangements with the Company described in the Final Prospectus , and the receipt by the undersigned from the Company of Securities upon such exercise;

(g)

transferring Securities to the Company for the primary purpose of satisfying any tax or other governmental withholding obligation with respect to any award of equity-based compensation granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans;

(h)

forfeitures of Securities to the Company to satisfy tax withholding requirements of the undersigned or the Company upon the vesting, during theLock-Up Period, of equity based awards granted under an equity incentive plan or pursuant to other stock purchase arrangements, in each case described in the Final Prospectus;

(i)

in response to a bona fide third party take-over bid made to all holders of Securities or any other acquisition transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Securities are acquired by a bona fide third party,providedthat if such take-over bid or other acquisition transaction is unsuccessful, such Securities may not be transferred until after the expiration of theLock-Up Period;

(j)

transfers to the Company of Securities or any security convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Securities in connection with the repurchase by the Company from the undersigned of Securities or any security convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Securities pursuant to a repurchase right arising upon the termination of the undersigned’s employment with the Company;provided that such repurchase right is pursuant to contractual agreements with the Company;

provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution (1) pursuant to clauses (a) through (f), each recipient shall sign and deliver alock-up letter substantially in the form of this agreement and (2) pursuant to clauses (b) through (e) and (j), no party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall be required to make or shall voluntarily make a filing under the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to Form 4 of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and no other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or distribution (other than a Form 5 made after the expiration of theLock-Up Period), and (3) pursuant to clauses (a) and (f) through (i), if required, any public announcement or filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing related to a transfer made pursuant to the circumstances described in the applicable clause.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the undersigned may enter into a written trading plan established pursuant to Rule10b5-1 of the Exchange Act during theLock-Up Period;provided that no direct or indirect offers, pledges, sales, contracts to sell, sales of any option or contract to purchase, purchases of any option or contract to sell, grants of any option, right or warrant to purchase, loans, or other transfers or disposals of any Securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Securities may be effected pursuant to such plan during theLock-Up Period; andprovided that no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of such plan shall be required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company during theLock-Up Period.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of thisLock-Up Agreement.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned further agrees that the foregoing restrictions in thisLock-Up Agreement shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed Securities the undersigned may purchase in the above-referenced offering.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) each Representative agrees that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Securities, such Representative will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (ii) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Representatives hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in thisLock-Up Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

ThisLock-Up Agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. The undersigned understands that, if either the Company or the Representatives advise the other in writing that it or they have determined not to proceed with the Public Offering or the registration statement relating to the Public Offering is completely withdrawn prior to payment for and delivery of the share of common stock contemplated thereby; or (ii) if the Public Offering Date shall not have occurred on or before September 24, 2018, thisLock-Up Agreement shall lapse and become null and void.

This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
