Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This amended and restated letter agreement (this “Agreement”) is provided to you in connection with the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 16, 2019, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Gordon Pointe Acquisition Corp (“Acquiror”), GPAQ Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), GPAQ Acquiror Merger Sub, Inc., GPAQ Company Merger Sub, LLC, HOF Village, LLC (“HOFV”), and HOF Village Newco, LLC. This Agreement hereby amends and restates the terms of that certain letter agreement dated September 16, 2019, between Gordon Pointe Management, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and HOFV (the “Original Agreement”) and supersedes the Original Agreement in its entirety. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

 

In consideration of the consummation of the Transactions, the Sponsor hereby agrees that, prior to the Closing, Acquiror shall cancel a number of shares of Acquiror Class F Common Stock held by the Sponsor (the “Acquiror Class F Common Stock Cancellation”) and that, promptly following the Closing, the Sponsor shall transfer and convey to HOFV a certain number of shares of Holdings Common Stock and certain Holdings Warrants (the “Sponsor Share and Warrant Transfer”), as set forth within the terms of this Agreement.

 

For the purposes of this Agreement, the Sponsor represents and warrants that, before giving effect to the Acquiror Class F Common Stock Cancellation, the Sponsor currently holds (a) 2,725,000 shares of Acquiror Class F Common Stock and (b) 4,865,000 Acquiror Warrants, all of which shall be covered by the terms of this Agreement.

 

Acquiror Class F Common Stock Cancellation. The parties acknowledge and agree that, prior to the Closing, Acquiror shall cancel a number of shares of Acquiror Class F Common Stock held by the Sponsor (the “Acquiror Class F Common Stock Cancellation”) that is equal to the lesser of (i) 1,185,741 or (ii) the difference between (x) the total number of shares of Holdings Common Stock to be issued at the Closing to holders of Acquiror Common Stock in exchange for shares of Acquiror Common Stock and (y) the total number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock being exchanged.

Sponsor Share and Warrant Transfer. In consideration of the consummation of the Transactions, the Sponsor hereby agrees, promptly following the Closing, to transfer and convey to HOFV:

 

(a) a number of shares of Holdings Common Stock equal to: (i) if the total number of shares of Acquiror Class F Common Stock cancelled in the Acquiror Class F Common Stock Cancellation is 475,000 or less, 50% of the of Holdings Common Stock that is issued in exchange for Acquiror Class F Common Stock; and (ii) if the total number of shares of Acquiror Class F Common Stock cancelled in the Acquiror Class F Common Stock Cancellation is greater than 475,000 shares (up to the 1,185,741 cancellation cap), all shares of Holdings Common Stock that are issued in exchange for Acquiror Class F Common Stock minus 1,125,000 shares of Holdings Common Stock that will be retained by GPAQ Sponsor, and

 

(b) 50% of the Holdings Warrants into which the Acquiror Warrants currently held by the Sponsor have been converted as a result of the Transactions (the “Acquiror Founders’ Warrants”). The Acquiror Founders’ Shares and Acquiror Founders’ Warrants that are transferred to HOFV pursuant to this paragraph are collectively referred to herein as the “Acquired Securities”.

 

The number of Acquiror Founders’ Shares to be transferred and conveyed to HOFV shall be calculated after giving effect to such Acquiror Class F Common Stock Cancellation. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the number of shares of Holdings Common Stock held by Sponsor after giving effect to the Acquiror Class F Common Stock Cancellation and the transfer of shares to HOFV hereunder be less than 1,125,000.

 

For illustration purposes only, the following table shows the cancellation of Acquiror Class F Common Stock and the transfer of Acquiror Class F Common Stock to HOFV given different scenarios of Holdings Common Stock issued at the Closing to holders of Acquiror Common Stock in exchange for shares of Acquiror Common Stock.
