Section 2.2 Voting. From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Time, each Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that at any meeting (including at each adjourned or postponed meeting) of the stockholders of Bally's, however called, or in connection with any written consent of Bally's stockholders, the Stockholder will vote or cause to be voted, no later than seven Business Days after the date of the relevant proxy statement, all of its Covered Shares (other than Covered Shares that have been Transferred in a Permitted Transfer) (a) in favor of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, (b) in favor of any proposal for a quorum or to adjourn or postpone such meeting of Bally's stockholders to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval, and (c) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the Conditions not being fulfilled or to impede, interfere with or delay the consummation of the Transaction in any material respect. Other than in connection with obtaining the Requisite Shareholder Approval under Section 2.2(a) and (b), the obligations of each Stockholder specified in this Section 2.2(c) will not apply where the proposal, resolution or action in question is not recommended by the Bally's Board, and each such Stockholder will be entitled to vote in accordance with any such recommendation by the Bally's Board.
