4 Pending Merger with WMS On January 30, 2013, we entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which we agreed to acquire WMS Industries Inc. ( WMS ), a leading supplier of gaming machines and interactive gaming systems and content, for $26.00 in cash per common share, for a total enterprise value of approximately $1.5 billion. WMS serves the gaming industry in the U.S. and international jurisdictions by designing, manufacturing and marketing games, video and mechanical reel-spinning gaming machines and video lottery terminals, and by placing leased participation gaming machines in regulated gaming venues. WMS also develops and markets digital gaming content, products, services and end-to-end solutions that address global online wagering and play-for-fun social, casual and mobile gaming opportunities. Subject to the approvals of WMS stockholders and gaming regulatory authorities and other customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to be completed by the end of In connection with the merger agreement, we entered into a commitment letter pursuant to which the lenders party thereto have agreed to provide the financing necessary to complete the transaction. The merger is not conditioned on our obtaining the proceeds of any financing, including the financing contemplated by the commitment letter. If completed, we believe the acquisition will combine two leading companies in the lottery and gaming industries to create a company with the ability to offer an extensive range of products and services to public and private sector lottery and gaming customers around the world. For further information regarding this pending acquisition, please see the section entitled "Risks Relating to Our Pending Merger with WMS" contained in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the section entitled Business Overview Pending Merger with WMS contained in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the full text of the merger agreement, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 5, Industry Overview Lottery Lotteries are operated by U.S. and international governmental authorities and their licensees in approximately 180 jurisdictions throughout the world. Currently, 45 U.S. jurisdictions have online draw lotteries and 44 U.S. jurisdictions have instant ticket lotteries. Governments typically authorize lotteries as a means of generating revenues without imposing additional taxes. Net lottery proceeds are frequently set aside for public purposes, such as education, aid to the elderly, conservation, transportation and economic development. Many jurisdictions have come to rely on the proceeds from lottery ticket sales as a significant source of funding for these programs. Although there are many types of lottery games worldwide, the two principal categories of products offered by government authorized lotteries are instant tickets and draw games. An instant ticket lottery is typically played by removing a scratch-off coating from a preprinted ticket to determine whether it is a winner. Draw lottery games, such as Powerball and Mega Millions, are based on a random selection of a series of numbers, and prizes are generally based on the number of winners who share the prize pool, although set prizes are also offered. Draw lotteries are generally conducted through a computerized system in which lottery terminals in retail outlets are continuously connected to a central computer system. Lottery systems may also be used to validate instant lottery tickets to confirm that a ticket is a winner and prevent duplicate payments. In some jurisdictions, separate instant ticket validation systems may be installed. Based on industry information, U.S. instant ticket lottery retail sales and U.S. draw lottery retail sales totaled approximately $36 billion and approximately $25 billion, respectively, during the U.S. lottery industry's 2012 fiscal year (which generally ended on June 30, 2012). Based on industry information, we estimate that worldwide instant ticket lottery retail sales and worldwide draw lottery retail sales totaled approximately $71 billion and approximately $191 billion, respectively, during fiscal year During 2011, U.S. lotteries authorized certain changes to the Powerball multi-state draw lottery game, including an increase in the ticket price to $2, which went into effect on January 15, The increase in the Powerball ticket price potentially provides an impetus for growth in draw lottery retail sales. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the industry experienced the largest Powerball jackpot in history ($587.5 million) and the largest Mega Millions jackpot in history ($656 million). Lotteries may offer a range of other games. In the U.S., some lotteries offer monitor games such as keno, which is typically played every four to five minutes in restricted social settings, such as bars, and is usually offered as an extension of the lottery system. U.S. and international lotteries may also offer video lottery terminals ("VLTs"), which enable players to wager on games such as poker, blackjack and slot machine-like line games, with the terminals connected to a central monitoring and control system for security and accounting by the lottery. In the U.S., VLTs are typically offered at horse and greyhound racetracks, bars, truck stops, nightclubs and similar establishments. Internationally, lotteries may also offer other forms of gaming such as casino games, bingo and sports wagering. 4
5 Wide Area Gaming Wide area gaming refers to a collection of gaming machines that are distributed across a large number of venues, with relatively few terminals per venue. This contrasts with casino-type venues, where a large number of gaming machines are located in a single venue. Wide area gaming may involve commercial gaming operators, such as licensed betting shops in the U.K., or gaming operators affiliated with governments such as lotteries. Wide area gaming encompasses a number of technology elements including server-based gaming terminals and other gaming devices that are often part of a network. Server-based technologies provide for a quick and easy refresh of game content on gaming machines in the field from a central location. In the wide area gaming industry, we offer operators an integrated product offering comprised of server-based gaming machines, systems and content. Operational Overview We report our operations in three business segments: Printed Products; Lottery Systems; and Gaming. Certain financial information relating to our segments, including segment revenue, operating income (loss) and total assets for the last three fiscal years, is included in Note 2 (Business and Geographic Segments) to our Consolidated Financial Statements and is incorporated herein by reference. Note 2 also includes information regarding our revenue and longlived assets in the U.S. and other geographic areas in which we operate or hold assets. Risks related to our international operations are described under the heading "Risk Factors" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following table summarizes the primary business activities and investments included in each business segment. Printed Products Lottery Systems Gaming Segment Primary Business Activities Strategic Equity Investments Design, printing and sale of instant lottery tickets to lottery operators Provision of instant ticket-related value- added services to lottery operators Provision of licensed properties, player loyalty programs, second chance drawings and internet-based products primarily to lottery operators Printing and sale of phone cards Provision of lottery systems, including equipment, software, data communication services and support to lottery operators Provision of instant ticket validation systems to lottery operators Provision of central monitoring and control systems to lottery operators and gaming regulators Provision of software, hardware and support for sports wagering systems and keno to lottery operators Provision of server-based gaming machines, systems and content to commercial gaming operators such as betting shops, bingo halls, arcades and pubs Provision of interactive gaming products and content primarily to gaming operators Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l.

( CSG ) 49% equity interest in the instant ticket supplier to the China Sports Lottery Beijing Guard Libang Technology Co., Ltd. ( Guard Libang ) 50% equity interest in a provider of lottery systems and services for the China Welfare Lottery Roberts Communication Network ("RCN") 29.4% equity interest in provider of communications services to racing and non-racing customers Sportech Plc ("Sportech") 20% equity interest in operator and supplier of sports pools and tote systems 5
6 Printed Products Our Printed Products segment is primarily comprised of our global instant lottery ticket business. We generate revenue from the manufacturing and sale of instant lottery tickets, as well as the provision of value-added services such as game design, sales and marketing support, specialty games and promotions, inventory management and warehousing and fulfillment services. We also provide lotteries with cooperative service programs ("CSP") to help them efficiently and effectively manage and support their operations to achieve higher retail sales and lower operating costs. Moreover, we provide licensed games, promotional entertainment and internet-based services to the lottery industry. In 1974, we introduced the first secure instant lottery game ticket. We believe we are the leading designer, manufacturer and distributor of instant lottery tickets in the world. We market instant lottery tickets and related services to U.S. and international lotteries and commercial (non-lottery) customers. We supply instant lottery tickets to 40 of the 44 U.S. jurisdictions that sell instant lottery tickets. In addition, we have sold instant lottery tickets to customers in approximately 50 countries. Our U.S. instant lottery ticket contracts typically have an initial term of three to five years and frequently include multiple renewal options for additional periods ranging from one to five years, which our customers have generally exercised in the past. We typically sell our instant lottery tickets for a price per thousand units ("PPK") or for a fee equal to a percentage of the retail sales of the instant lottery tickets sold ("POS"). Some international customers purchase instant lottery tickets as needed rather than through multi-game supply contracts. We pioneered the concept of providing lotteries with customized CSPs to provide lotteries with fully integrated instant ticket product management in which we help manage a lottery's instant ticket program as a means to increase profits of the lottery. Our CSP contracts bundle the design and manufacturing of instant lottery tickets, instant game management systems and marketing services and can include the design and installation of game management software, inventory and distribution, sales, accounting, training and advisory services, marketing and research, and retailer training and recruitment. Under our CSP contracts, we are typically paid on a POS basis. We operate five instant lottery ticket printing facilities across four continents (including the facility owned by our joint venture in China, CSG) with an aggregate capacity to print approximately 44 billion 2" by 4" equivalent standard instant lottery tickets annually. The instant lottery tickets we manufacture are typically printed on recyclable ticket stock by a series of computer-controlled presses and ink-jet imagers, which we believe incorporate the most advanced technology and security in the industry. Instant lottery tickets generally range in size from 2" by 3" to as large as 8" by 12". Instant lottery tickets are normally played by removing a scratch-off coating to determine if they are winning tickets. Technology and security requirements necessary to manufacture and service instant lottery tickets continue to separate our business from conventional forms of printing. We believe we are generally recognized within the lottery industry as the leader in applying computer-based technologies to the manufacturing and sale of instant lottery tickets. In order to maintain our position as a leading innovator within the lottery industry, we intend to continue to research and develop new technologies and their applications to instant lottery tickets and systems. We provide lotteries with access to some of the world's most popular entertainment brands on lottery products, which we believe helps increase our customers' instant ticket sales. Our licensed entertainment brands include Harley-Davidson, Major League Baseball, Monopoly, National Basketball Association, The Price is Right, Wheel-of-Fortune and World Poker Tour. We also provide branded merchandise prizes, advertising, promotional support, turnkey drawing management services and prize fulfillment programs. In addition, we offer lotteries an interactive platform called Properties Plus, which features players clubs, reward programs, second chance promotional websites, interactive games and, where permitted by law, a subscription system that enables players to purchase lottery games securely over the internet. LNS. We are a 20% equity owner in LNS, an entity comprised principally of us, Lottomatica Group S.p.A. ("Lottomatica") and Arianna 2001, a company owned by the Federation of Italian Tobacconists, that was awarded the concession from the Italian Monopoli di Stato to be the exclusive operator of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant ticket lottery beginning on October 1, The concession has an initial term of nine years (subject to a performance evaluation during the fifth year) and could be extended by the Monopoli di Stato for an additional nine years. We are the primary supplier of instant lottery tickets for LNS and, under our supply contract with LNS, we expect to provide no less than 80% of LNS' total instant tickets. Northstar. We are a 20% equity owner in Northstar, an entity formed with GTECH Corporation ("GTECH"), a subsidiary of Lottomatica, to be the private manager for the Illinois lottery. Northstar was selected as the private manager following a competitive procurement and entered into a private management agreement with the State of Illinois on January 18, 2011 (the "PMA") for a 10-year term. Operations under the PMA commenced on July 1, As the private manager, Northstar, subject to the oversight of the Illinois lottery, manages the day-to-day operations of the lottery including lottery game development and portfolio management, retailer recruitment and training, supply of goods and services and overall marketing 6
7 strategy. We are the exclusive supplier of instant lottery tickets to Northstar and are responsible for instant ticket design, development, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution. CSG. We are a 49% equity owner in CSG, which holds a 15-year contract to supply instant lottery tickets to the China Sports Lottery (the "CSL"). In connection with the contract, CSG established an instant ticket manufacturing facility that began producing instant lottery tickets at the end of The facility has the capacity to print eight billion 2" by 4" equivalent standard instant ticket units annually. We are also entitled to a royalty fee from CSG for intellectual property rights equal to 1% of the total gross profits distributed by CSG. Lottery Systems We are a leading provider of customized computer software, software support, equipment and data communication services to lotteries. In the U.S., we typically provide the necessary equipment, software and maintenance services pursuant to long-term contracts that typically have an initial term of at least five years under which we are generally paid a fee equal to a percentage of the lottery's total retail sales. Our U.S. contracts typically contain multiple renewal options that generally have been exercised by our customers in the past. Internationally, we typically sell point-of-sale terminals and/or computer software to lottery authorities and may provide ongoing fee-based systems and software support services. Our lottery systems use proprietary technology that facilitates high-speed processing of wagers as well as validation of winning draw and instant lottery tickets. Our lottery systems business includes the supply of proprietary transaction-processing software, draw lottery games, keno, point-of-sale terminals, central site computers and communication platforms as well as ongoing operational support and maintenance services. We have contracts to operate online lottery systems for 11 of the 45 U.S. jurisdictions that operate draw lotteries. We believe we are the second largest online lottery provider in the U.S. and a leading provider in Europe. Internationally, we have lottery systems operating in Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Mexico, Norway, the Philippines, Spain and Switzerland. We are the exclusive instant lottery ticket validation network provider to the China Sports Lottery. In addition, we provide video lottery central monitoring and control systems and networks primarily to lotteries and gaming regulators. We currently have central monitoring and control systems contracts in Delaware, Illinois, Maine, New Mexico, South Dakota and West Virginia, as well as in Australia, Canada and Iceland. We also provide software, hardware and support for sports wagering systems. Guard Libang. We have a 50% equity ownership interest in Guard Libang, a provider of instant ticket activation and validation and inventory management systems and services to all of the China Welfare Lottery provincial jurisdictions. Gaming We are a leading provider of server-based gaming terminals and systems and other products and services to operators in the wide area gaming industry. We are a leading supplier of server-based gaming terminals and systems and game content primarily to bookmakers that operate licensed betting offices ("LBOs") in the U.K. and to gaming operators outside the U.K. We also supply gaming terminals, systems and game content to pubs, bingo halls and arcades in the U.K. and continental Europe. We provide many of our Gaming customers with a turnkey offering, which typically includes gaming terminals, remote management of game content and management information, central computer systems, secure data communication and field support services. We develop our own game content and supplement our offerings with content from third parties. We also provide interactive gaming products, services and end-toend solutions including interactive social, casual and mobile gaming. Our LBO contracts generally have initial terms of two to four years, with potential extensions, under which we are typically paid a fee based on gross win (i.e., amount bet less player winnings) generated by our gaming terminals (subject to certain adjustments as may be specified in a particular contract, including adjustments for taxes and other fees). We had an installed base of approximately 21,200 gaming terminals in LBOs as of December 31, On September 23, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Barcrest Group Limited ("Barcrest"), a leading supplier of gaming content, platforms and systems to gaming operators in the U.K. and continental Europe, including pubs, LBOs, bingo halls and arcades. The acquisition provides us with an expansive library of gaming titles and properties, as well as an existing base of business in interactive gaming in which Barcrest's game content is made available through internet, mobile and other interactive channels. In January 2012, following a comprehensive strategic review, we announced our exit from the Barcrest analog amusement with prize ("AWP") machine business in order to focus our game design and other resources solely on a digital server-based model in light of prevailing conditions in the pub sector and the declining demand for analog AWP products. This strategic review also resulted in a decision to reorganize our pub business in an effort to more effectively capitalize on the Barcrest acquisition. We continue to review strategic alternatives for our pub business. As of December 31, 2012, we had an installed base of approximately 4,800 gaming terminals in our U.K. pub, bingo hall and arcade business. 7
8 We continue to seek to expand our server-based gaming terminal business outside the U.K., with current deployments in the Caribbean, Czech Republic, Mexico and Puerto Rico. As of December 31, 2012, we had an installed base of approximately 5,100 gaming terminals outside of the U.K. In January 2013, we entered into a merger agreement to acquire WMS. If completed, we expect that the acquisition will broaden our range of gaming products and services and expand our base of gaming customers throughout the world. For further information regarding this transaction, see the section above entitled " Pending Merger with WMS" as well as Note 23 (Subsequent Events) to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10- K. Roberts Communication Network. We have a 29.4% equity interest in RCN, which provides communications services to racing and non-racing customers in the U.S. Sportech. We own approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of Sportech, a U.K. based company with operations within and outside the U.K. Sportech operates sports pools and associated games through various distribution channels including direct mail and telephone, agent-based collection and via interactive channels. Sportech also provides wagering technology solutions to racetracks and off-track wagering networks and also operates a portfolio of internet-based casino, poker, bingo and fixed-odds games. Company Strategy Our goal is to be a global leader in providing technology and games to the regulated lottery and gaming industries. We seek to maximize our return on invested capital by capitalizing on our competitive strengths. The primary elements of our strategy are set forth below: Grow our Customers' Revenue. A key component of our strategy is to help our customers grow their lottery and gaming revenue in a responsible manner, and thereby grow our revenue. We operate a significant portion of our business under participatory business models, where our revenue is based on a percentage of our customers' retail sales or gross win. While not as directly linked, our revenue from our non-participatory contracts also depends to some extent on the success of our customers. Therefore, we devote significant resources to developing products and services to grow our customers' revenue. Because we believe we have a strong track record in assisting our customers enhance their performance, we work with our customers wherever possible to develop these participatory business models where their success and ours are closely aligned. Focus on Regulated and Government-Sponsored Wide Area Gaming. We serve government-owned and commercial operators, with our customers operating in regulated and, in many cases, government-sponsored wide area gaming. Lotteries operate wide area gaming businesses in that the consumer interaction occurs at hundreds or thousands of points of sale. Similarly, our gaming machines are generally located in venues with a relatively small number of machines, as distinct from destination gaming centers such as casinos. We believe we are able to provide the unique blend of skills, assets and secure systems that customers in wide area lottery and gaming businesses require. Exploit our Strength in Providing Turnkey Operations. Many of our lottery and wide area gaming customers expect us to provide turnkey operational services. We consider ourselves adept at managing field operations, optimizing performance and minimizing operational costs. Our field management experience includes technical support, field repair, spare parts management, inventory management and other capabilities that we believe confer competitive advantages relative to other gaming companies. We believe we have a particular strength in managing the entire supply chain of instant lottery tickets through CSP offerings, which we pioneered. Position Ourselves for Internet and Mobile Gaming. Internet and mobile gaming are the ultimate extension of wide area gaming and are areas of focus for us. We believe that internet and mobile gaming has significant growth potential, particularly as many jurisdictions outside of the U.S. move to authorize and regulate these businesses. We also believe that our lottery customers in the U.S. are well positioned for growth in interactive gaming. The sale of lottery products over the internet, often referred to as ilottery products, may lead to an expanded base of players and increased lottery revenue, and several states have begun to sell or authorize the sale of such ilottery products. We continue to focus on the growth, development and operational execution of our worldwide interactive gaming initiatives. Focus on Security and Compliance. Our government-sponsored or regulated lottery and wide area gaming customers demand a high level of security and integrity in their gaming operations. We believe we have 8
9 extensive safeguards in our systems, business and compliance processes that maximize the security of our lottery and gaming offerings. We believe these safeguards provide us with a competitive advantage. Pursue Growth Opportunities in Underpenetrated Geographies. We believe we have opportunities to expand our business by offering our lottery and gaming products and services to customers in both new and underpenetrated geographies. For example: We believe that instant lottery tickets currently comprise less than 20% of lottery sales outside of the U.S. compared to almost 60% in the U.S. We are especially focused on increasing our instant lottery ticket business in Asia, South/Latin America and Eastern/Central Europe. In 2012, a consortium in which we own a 16.5% equity interest was provisionally awarded a 12-year concession for the exclusive rights to the production, operation and management of instant ticket lotteries in Greece, subject to various regulatory approvals, including Greek parliamentary approval. Pursuant to our agreement with the consortium, we expect to serve as the exclusive supplier of instant tickets over the term of the concession. In China, despite a recent decline in our instant ticket validation revenue and our joint venture's instant ticket printing revenue, we continue to believe there is sustained consumer demand for lottery products, as retail sales of the overall lottery segment grew by 18% in We remain focused on improving sales trends by expanding the lottery retailer network and increasing our involvement in the game selection process. We are increasingly focused on growing our gaming business outside the U.K. and view North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia and the Caribbean as areas of potential growth. In conjunction with this effort, we are actively pursuing opportunities in North American jurisdictions that are seeking to expand into licensed video gaming or replace their existing video gaming systems. In 2012, we began selling our ULTRA TM multi-game video gaming terminal, a new, innovative product that leverages the significant experience we have developed in our lottery and Gaming businesses, and provides us with entry into the North American machine business. Further Develop our Capabilities. We continually seek to expand and invest in marketing and technology capabilities. Gaming Content and Brands. We have extensive game development experience and capabilities. We believe that we have extensive knowledge of game design and development, a strong staff and a reputation for producing high-performing games. We seek to leverage these resources and game skills across multiple distribution channels including physical venues and, where permitted, interactive channels. We pioneered the branding of lottery games. We believe we have an advantage over our competitors in the size and depth of our brand licenses for the lottery industry and that our brand strategy can be applied more broadly to interactive gaming. Technology. We seek to develop leading technology in lottery and video gaming. We believe our next generation lottery system that we have deployed in Europe is the most technologically advanced and feature-rich lottery system in the industry. We believe that we also have interactive gaming development capabilities, which we will seek to capitalize on as opportunities emerge. For instance, we have built several comprehensive internet lottery systems in Europe that were among the first of their kind. We have also developed hundreds of second chance websites, an internet lottery subscription system and over 100 interactive games for our customers. Pursue and Complete Strategic Acquisitions. In support of the foregoing strategies, we may engage in strategic acquisitions to help us achieve our goals. Given our global footprint, we believe we have access to opportunities to acquire assets or businesses and to leverage acquired products and technologies in other geographies where we have a presence. This strategy is consistent with our belief that lottery and gaming organizations will increasingly look to single source suppliers to provide a comprehensive offering of products and services. In connection with this strategy, we completed the following acquisitions in 2012: Substantially all of the assets of Parspro.com ehf ( Parspro ), a leading supplier of sports betting solutions in Europe. We anticipate that sports betting will increasingly become an additional revenue source for lotteries in Europe, Asia and Latin America. 9
10 SG Provoloto, S. de R.L. de C.V. ( Provoloto ), a company that distributes and develops instant lottery tickets and manages instant lotteries for charities in Mexico. We believe we can expand the charity lottery operator model to other countries in Latin America and elsewhere. ADS/Technology and Gaming ( ADS ), a leading third party field-based service and installation specialist in the U.K. that services many of the betting shops, pubs, arcades and bingo clubs. The addition of ADS expands the services and products provided by our Gaming business and leverages its cost structure. In January 2013, we entered into a merger agreement to acquire WMS, a leading supplier of gaming machines and interactive gaming systems and content. If completed, we believe the acquisition will combine two leading companies in the lottery and gaming industries to create a company with the ability to offer an extensive range of products and services to public and private sector lottery and gaming customers around the world. For more information on this pending acquisition, please see the section entitled "Business Overview Pending Merger with WMS" contained in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Contract Procurement Lottery Government authorized lotteries in the U.S. typically operate under state-mandated public procurement regulations. See the "Government Regulation" section in Part I, Item I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Lotteries select an instant ticket or online supplier by issuing a request for proposal ("RFP"), which generally outlines the products and services to be delivered and related contractual obligations. An evaluation committee frequently comprised of key lottery staff typically evaluates responses based on various criteria. These criteria usually include quality of product and/or technical solutions, security plan and features, experience in the industry, quality of personnel and services to be delivered, and price. We believe that our product functionality and game content, the quality of our personnel, our technical expertise and our demonstrated ability to help the lotteries increase their revenues may give us an advantage relative to the competition when responding to lottery RFPs in the U.S. However, many lotteries still award the contract to the qualified vendor offering the lowest price, regardless of these other factors. Contract awards by lottery authorities are sometimes challenged by unsuccessful competitors, which can result in protracted legal proceedings. Internationally, lottery authorities do not always utilize such a formal bidding process, but rather engage in bilateral negotiations with one or more potential vendors. U.S. Jurisdictions The table below lists our lottery and video-related contracts in the U.S. and certain related information as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

International Jurisdictions Lottery Systems Internationally, we typically sell point-of-sale terminals, host hardware and/or computer software for lottery authorities and provide ongoing fee-based systems and software support services under long-term contracts. Our international lottery service contracts typically include automatic renewal provisions and/or do not have specified expiration dates. These service contracts can generally be terminated at any time upon notification by either the customer or us subject to the applicable notice periods. We hold lottery system contracts with customers in Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Mexico, Norway, the Philippines, Spain and Switzerland. Our exclusive instant ticket validation contract with the CSL is scheduled to expire in January Gaming Our gaming business provides terminals and content into the LBO, pub, bingo and arcade sectors in the U.K., where contracts typically have a term of two to four years with potential extensions. We also provide gaming content for U.K. and European internet and mobile gaming operators, where the contract term is typically three years. In the U.K., four large bookmakers operate approximately 80% of the LBOs. In January 2012, William Hill PLC ("William Hill"), one of these large bookmakers, awarded a contract for the exclusive supply of gaming terminals to its entire LBO estate to one of our competitors. This contract took effect following the expiration of our gaming terminal supply contract. The loss of this contract impacted our results of operations in For the year ended December 31, 2012, our contracts with the other three large bookmakers represented approximately 57% of our total Gaming service revenue. Our gaming terminal contracts with the large LBOs and certain related information are set forth in the table below. 12

Our development efforts are focused on new systems and products, as well as the improvement and refinement of our existing products including the expansion of their uses and applications. We are also focused on expanding utilization of the internet and other interactive technologies to grow lottery playership and pursue regulated gaming opportunities. Many of our product developments and innovations have quickly become industry standards, including games for Printed Products and multiplier games for Lottery Systems. 13
15 Intellectual Property We have a number of U.S. and international patents that we consider, in the aggregate, to be of material importance to our business. The terms of our patents vary based on the date of patent filing or grant and the law of the various countries where patent protection is obtained. In the U.S., the term of a patent generally expires 20 years from the date of filing. The actual protection afforded by a patent, which can vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, the scope of its coverage and the availability of legal remedies in the applicable country. Certain technology material to our lottery processes and systems is the subject of patents issued and patent applications currently pending in the U.S. and certain other countries. In our lottery business, we utilize our patented and patent-pending technology for the production, secure printing, validation and distribution of instant lottery tickets. In addition, we patent and license game content as part of our licensed properties and gaming businesses. Our patents have various expiration dates through We also have a number of U.S. and international registered trademarks and other common law trademark rights for certain of our products and services, including BOODLE, FailSafe, Properties Plus, Points for Prizes, Winner's Choice, PlayCentral, SciScan Technology, AEGIS, Wave, ULTRA, EXTREMA and SGI-NET. Trademark protection continues in some countries, including the U.S., for as long as the trademark is used and in other countries for as long as it is registered. Registrations generally are for fixed, but renewable terms. From time to time we become aware of potential infringement of our intellectual property by competitors and other third parties and consider what action, if any, to take in that regard, including litigation where appropriate. We are also subject to threatened or actual intellectual property-related claims against us from time to time. Production Processes, Sources and Availability of Components Our dedicated computer controlled printing process is specifically designed to produce secure instant lottery game tickets for government-sanctioned lotteries. Our facilities are designed for the efficient and secure production of instant lottery tickets and support high-speed variable image printing, packaging and storage of instant lottery tickets. Instant lottery tickets are delivered finished and ready for distribution by the lottery authority (or by us in the jurisdictions where we have CSP contracts). Paper and ink are the principal raw materials consumed in our ticket manufacturing operations. Production of our lottery terminals and gaming machines (and related component products) primarily involves the assembly of electronic and mechanical components into more complex systems and products. Third-party vendors generally manufacture and assemble our lottery terminals and gaming machines. We normally have sufficient lead time between reaching an agreement and the commencement of operations so that we are able to provide our lottery and gaming customers with a fully functioning system that is customized to meet their requirements. In the event that current suppliers of control subassemblies are no longer available, we believe we would be able to adapt our application software to run on the then-available hardware in time to meet new contractual obligations, although the price competitiveness of our products might change. The lead time for obtaining most of the electronic components that we use is approximately 90 days. We believe that this is consistent with our competitors' lead times and is also consistent with the needs of our customers. Seasonality Our revenue can fluctuate due to seasonality in some components of our business. The summer season historically has been the weakest part of the year for certain parts of our lottery business, particularly where our revenue is tied to a percentage of retail sales such as under our CSP contracts. Our Gaming LBO service revenue is typically lower in the first and third quarters of the year as there is generally a lower volume of players in the LBOs during those quarters. Our Lottery Systems service revenue can be somewhat dependent on the size of jackpots of lottery games such as Powerball and Mega Millions during the relevant period. Our licensed properties instant ticket revenue and our sales revenue can fluctuate due to the non-recurring nature of these revenue streams. Competition Printed Products The instant lottery ticket business is highly competitive and continues to be subject to intense price-based competition. Our principal instant lottery ticket competitors in the U.S. are Pollard Banknote Limited ("Pollard") and GTECH. Except as permitted by the applicable provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement with respect to Canada, it is currently 14
16 illegal to import lottery tickets into the U.S. from a foreign country. Our business could be adversely affected should additional international competitors in Canada export lottery products to the U.S. or should other international competitors establish printing facilities in the U.S. or Canada to supply the U.S. Internationally, a number of lottery instant ticket vendors compete with us including the competitors noted above as well as diversified printers in India, China and Latin America. Our principal competitors in our provision of licensed games, promotional entertainment and loyalty or rewards programs to the lottery industry include BI Worldwide Ltd., Alchemy3 LLC, eprize LLC, SapientNitro, a division of Sapient Corp., GTECH, Pollard and Intralot, S.A. ("Intralot"). Lottery Systems The lottery and video systems businesses are highly competitive and continue to be subject to intense price-based competition. Our principal competitors in these businesses are GTECH and Intralot. We also compete with various suppliers of lottery system components, such as terminals and computer systems, and lottery operators themselves that chose to internally develop their systems. As countries liberalize gaming, lotteries may expand their scope by offering sports wagering, gaming machines, internet gaming or other forms of gaming, which may introduce new suppliers to lotteries resulting in new forms of competition to us. In some jurisdictions, liberalization includes privatization or the outsourcing of lottery operations to bidders. We believe companies such as Camelot Group plc, the Tattersalls Group, Lottomatica and Intralot to be among those who may bid on such opportunities. Gaming Our wide area gaming business competes with a variety of suppliers in the U.K. and internationally. Our principal direct competitor in the U.K. LBO business is Inspired Gaming Group Limited ("Inspired"). In the U.K. AWP and skill with prize ("SWP") machine business, we compete directly with other suppliers of gaming machines and gaming operators, including the Bell-Fruit and Gamestec divisions of Astra Games Limited, Sceptre Leisure plc and Games Warehouse Limited, a division of Merit Industries, Inc. In some jurisdictions, we compete with video lottery and other gaming terminal and systems suppliers. Our competitors in these industries include International Game Technology ("IGT"), Lottomatica, Bally Technologies, Inc., Inspired, Aristocrat Leisure Ltd, Novomatic AG, Multimedia Games, Inc., WMS and Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. Our primary competitors in the provision of game content include Amaya Gaming Group, Inc., IGT, Microgaming Software Systems Ltd., Net Entertainment NE AB, NYX Gaming Group, OpenBet Technology Ltd. and Playtech Limited ("Playtech"). Employees As of December 31, 2012, we employed approximately 3,600 persons. Most of our employees are not represented by labor unions. However, unions represent the majority of our employees at our printing facilities in Canada, Chile and the U.K. Government Regulation General Lotteries and other forms of gaming are generally subject to extensive and evolving regulation that customarily includes some form of licensing or regulatory screening of operators, suppliers, manufacturers and distributors and their applicable parents, affiliates and subsidiaries, as well as their major shareholders, officers, directors and key employees. In addition, certain of our gaming products and technologies must be certified or approved in certain jurisdictions where we operate. Regulators review many facets of an applicant or holder of a license, including its financial stability, integrity and business experience. Any failure to receive a license or the loss of a license that we currently hold could have a material adverse effect on us or on our results of operations or financial condition. While we believe that we are in substantial compliance with all material gaming laws and regulatory requirements applicable to us, there can be no assurance that our activities or the activities of our customers will not become the subject of any regulatory or law enforcement proceeding or that any such proceeding would not have a material adverse impact on us or our operations or financial condition. We have developed and implemented a rigorous internal compliance program in an effort to ensure that we comply with legal requirements imposed in connection with our lottery and gaming activities, as well as legal requirements generally applicable to all publicly traded companies. The compliance program is run on a day-to-day basis by our Chief Compliance Officer with legal advice provided by attorneys in our legal and compliance departments and outside experts. The compliance program is overseen by the Compliance Committee of our Board of Directors, comprised entirely of non-employee directors. While we are firmly committed to full compliance with all applicable laws, there can be no assurance that our compliance program will prevent the violation of one or more laws or regulations, or that a violation by us or an employee will not result in the imposition of a monetary fine or suspension or revocation of one or more of our licenses. 15
17 In the United States, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 ("UIGEA") prohibits among other things, the transmission of any wager, at least in part, by means of the internet where such wager is prohibited by any applicable law where initiated, received or otherwise made. UIGEA imposes potentially severe criminal and civil sanctions on the owners and operators of such systems and on financial institutions that process wagering transactions. The law contains a safe harbor for wagers placed within a single state (disregarding intermediate routing of the transmission) where the method of placing the bet and receiving the bet is authorized by that state's law, provided the underlying regulations establish appropriate age and location verification. The Federal Wire Act of 1961 ("The Wire Act") generally prohibits anyone engaged in the business of betting or wagering from knowingly using a wire communication facility for the transmission in interstate or foreign commerce of wagers or information assisting in the placing of wagers on any "sporting event or contest." Until recently, there was uncertainty, in light of prior interpretations and pronouncements of representatives of the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ"), as to whether the Wire Act may prohibit states from conducting in-state lottery transactions via the internet if the transmissions over the internet during the transaction cross state lines, notwithstanding that UIGEA appears to permit out-of-state routing of data associated with in-state lottery transactions authorized by that state's law. In late 2011, the Office of Legal Counsel of the DOJ issued an opinion to the effect that state lottery ticket sales over the internet to in-state adults do not violate the Wire Act since lotteries do not involve "sporting events or contests" within the meaning of the Wire Act. In the European Union, various judgments by the Court of Justice of the European Union have addressed the ability of member states to grant, or to maintain, monopolies for lottery and other gaming providers in the situations addressed by those judgments. Certain of these judgments have also addressed the power of a member state to limit access by lottery and/or gaming providers established elsewhere in the European Union. To varying degrees, a number of the European governments have taken steps to change the regulation of internet wagering through the implementation of new or revised licensing and taxation regimes, including the possible imposition of sanctions on unlicensed providers. While we believe that we have developed the proper procedures and policies to comply with the requirements of these evolving laws and legal pronouncements, there can be no assurance that our activities or the activities of our customers will not become the subject of law enforcement proceedings or that any such proceedings would not have a material adverse impact on us or our business plans. From time to time, we retain government affairs representatives in various U.S. and international jurisdictions to advise elected and appointed officials and the public concerning our views on lottery and gaming-related legislation, to monitor such legislation and to advise us in our relations with lottery and gaming authorities. Lottery Operations Currently, 45 U.S. jurisdictions, all the Canadian provinces, Mexico, China and many other countries outside the U.S., including countries in Europe, authorize lotteries. The operations of lotteries in the U.S. and internationally are subject to extensive regulation. Although certain features of a lottery, such as the percentage of gross revenues that must be paid back to players in prize money, are usually set by legislation, the various lottery regulatory authorities generally exercise significant discretion, including with respect to the determination of the types of games played, the price of each wager, the manner in which the lottery is marketed and the selection of suppliers of equipment, technology and services and retailers of lottery products. Furthermore, laws and regulations applicable to lotteries in U.S. and international jurisdictions are subject to change, and the effect of such changes on our ongoing and potential operations cannot be predicted with certainty. To ensure the integrity of the contract award and lottery operations, most jurisdictions require detailed background disclosure on a continuous basis from, and conduct background investigations of, the supplier and its officers, directors, subsidiaries, affiliates and principal stockholders. Background investigations of the supplier's employees who will be directly responsible for the operation of the system are also generally conducted, and most states reserve the right to require the removal of employees who they deem to be unsuitable or whose presence they believe may adversely affect the operational security or integrity of the lottery. Certain jurisdictions also require extensive personal and financial disclosure and background checks from persons and entities beneficially owning a specified percentage (typically five percent or more) of a supplier's securities. The failure of such beneficial owners of our securities to submit to background checks and provide such disclosure could result in the imposition of penalties upon these beneficial owners and could jeopardize the award of a lottery contract to us or provide grounds for termination of an existing lottery contract. The award of lottery contracts and ongoing operations of lotteries in international jurisdictions are also extensively regulated, although international regulations typically vary from those prevailing in the U.S. Restrictions are frequently imposed on international corporations seeking to do business in such jurisdictions and, as a consequence, we have in a number of instances allied ourselves with local companies when seeking international lottery contracts. 16
18 Gaming The manufacture and distribution of gaming machines, games, equipment and related software and services are subject to regulation and licensing by a variety of federal, state, international, tribal and local authorities, with the majority of the oversight in the U.S. provided by individual state gaming control boards. Certain of our gaming products and technologies must be certified or approved by regulatory authorities or private testing agencies authorized by such gaming authorities in certain jurisdictions where we operate. Companies that manufacture, sell or distribute VLTs or other gaming machines or provide the central computer systems that monitor these devices are subject to various provincial, state, county and municipal laws and regulations. The primary purposes of these rules are to (1) ensure the responsibility, financial stability and character of companies involved and their officers and directors and stockholders through licensing requirements, (2) ensure the integrity and randomness of the machines and (3) prohibit the use of machines at unauthorized locations or for the benefit of undesirable individuals or entities. Sixteen U.S. states authorize wagering on VLTs at state regulated and licensed facilities. Although some states currently restrict VLTs to already existing wagering facilities (e.g., racetracks), others permit these devices to be placed at venues such as bars, restaurants, truck stops and other specifically licensed gaming facilities. In addition, all of the Canadian provinces and various other international jurisdictions have authorized VLTs. In the U.K., the Gambling Act of 2005 regulates, among other things, the type of licensed gaming activity that is carried out by operators, the licensing of the various types of venues for the conduct of licensed gaming activities, the categories and number of gaming machines allowed in each type of venue, the licensing and regulation of the supply and operation of those machines and the issuance of technical specifications and standards and specific licensing requirements for each category of gaming machine. In late 2010, the U.K. government announced its intention to change the taxation of gaming machines by replacing the currently applicable amusement machine license duty and the value-added tax with a new machine games duty, or MGD, based on the gross win generated by a gaming machine. In a budget statement issued in March 2012, the U.K. government announced a standard MGD rate of 20% on gross win, effective February 1, These tax changes may negatively impact our gaming machine customers' businesses and, therefore, could impact our business in

21 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Risks Relating to our Business and Industry We operate in highly competitive industries and our success depends on our ability to effectively compete with numerous domestic and foreign businesses. We face competition from a number of domestic and foreign businesses, some of which have substantially greater financial resources than we do, which impacts our ability to win new contracts and renew existing contracts. We continue to operate in a period of intense price-based competition, which has affected and could continue to affect the number and the profitability of the contracts we win. Contract awards by lottery authorities are sometimes challenged by unsuccessful bidders, which can result in costly and protracted legal proceedings that can result in delayed implementation or cancellation of the award. In addition, the U.S. lottery industry has matured such that the number of states conducting lotteries is unlikely to increase materially in the near-term. We believe our principal competitors in the instant ticket lottery business have increased their production capacity, which is expected to increase pricing pressures in the instant ticket business and adversely affect our ability to win or renew instant ticket contracts or reduce the profitability of instant ticket contracts that we do win. Our U.S. instant ticket business could also be adversely affected should additional foreign competitors in Canada export their lottery products to the U.S. or should other foreign competitors establish printing facilities in the U.S. or Canada to supply the U.S. We also compete in the international instant ticket lottery business with low-price, low-quality printers in a regulated environment where laws are being reinterpreted so as to create competition from non-traditional lottery vendors and products. We face increased price competition in our lottery systems business from our two principal competitors. Since late 2007, we have lost lottery systems contracts in South Carolina, West Virginia, South Dakota, New Hampshire and Vermont to our competitors following the expiration of our contracts. During 2010, the lottery authority in Maine awarded a new lottery contract to one of our competitors, which award was subsequently invalidated as a result of our protest. The competitor's appeal of the protest ruling was denied on October 21, Our contract with Maine was extended until June 30, As some jurisdictions seek to privatize or outsource lottery operations (including partial privatizations through private management agreements or otherwise), we face competition from both traditional and new competitors with respect to these opportunities. In some cases, we may find it necessary or desirable to enter into strategic relationships with third parties, including competitors, to pursue these opportunities. The Indiana lottery recently awarded a private management agreement to one of our competitors. We expect that our lottery systems contract with the Indiana lottery will be terminated in connection with the commencement of the private management model in Indiana. On January 11, 2013, we entered into an agreement with the manager of the Indiana lottery to provide existing lottery systems equipment and services through August 2016, which agreement is expected to commence in April Pricing pressures and privatization of some lotteries may also change the manner in which lottery system and instant ticket contracts are awarded and the profitability of those contracts. Any future success of our lottery business will also depend, in part, on the success of the lottery industry in attracting and retaining players in the face of increased competition for these players' entertainment dollars, as well as our own success in developing innovative products and systems to achieve this goal. Our failure to achieve this goal could reduce our revenue from our lottery operations. As a result of pressure on state and other government budgets, other forms of gaming may be legalized, which could adversely impact our business. Our gaming-related businesses face significant competition from other vendors. For example, in January 2012, William Hill awarded a contract for the exclusive supply of gaming terminals to the bookmaker's entire LBO estate to one of our principal competitors. This contract took effect following the expiration of our gaming terminal supply contract with William Hill in March The loss of this contract impacted our results of operations in We face significant competition as we seek to offer products and services for the evolving internet lottery and gaming industries, not only from our traditional competitors in the lottery business but also from a number of other domestic and foreign providers (or the operators themselves), some of which have substantially greater financial resources and/or experience in this area than we do. In addition, our gaming-related businesses face competition from illegal operators. Unfavorable U.S. and international economic conditions may adversely affect our business and financial condition. Unfavorable general economic conditions, including relatively high rates of unemployment, have had, and may continue to have, a negative effect on our business and results of operations. 20
22 We cannot fully predict the effects that unfavorable economic conditions and economic uncertainty will have on us as it also impacts our customers, suppliers and business partners. However, we believe that the difficult economic conditions have contributed to reductions in spending on marketing by our customers and, in certain instances, less favorable terms under our contracts, as many of our customers face significant budget shortfalls and look to cut costs. We believe that the lottery and wide area gaming businesses are less susceptible to reductions in consumer spending than the destination gaming business (e.g., resort and casino venues, which are typically less accessible to consumers than lottery and wide area gaming retail outlets) and other parts of the consumer products sector. However, we believe that declines in consumer spending have adversely impacted our lottery and wide area gaming businesses to some extent, and further declines would likely exacerbate these negative effects. There are ongoing concerns regarding the debt burden of certain countries, particularly in the European Union, and their ability to meet their future financial obligations, which have resulted in downgrades of the debt ratings for these countries. These sovereign debt concerns, whether real or perceived, could result in a recession, prolonged economic slowdown, or otherwise negatively impact the general health and stability of the economies in these countries or more broadly. In more severe cases, this could result in a limitation on the availability of capital, thereby restricting our liquidity and negatively impacting our operating results. We currently operate in, and our growth strategy may involve pursuing expansion or business opportunities in, certain countries potentially facing real or perceived sovereign debt concerns, such as Italy and Greece. Our business is subject to evolving technology. The sales of all of our products and services are affected by changing technology, new legislation and evolving industry standards. Our ability to anticipate or respond to such changes and to develop and introduce new and enhanced products and services on a timely basis will be a significant factor in our ability to remain competitive, retain existing contracts, and expand and attract new customers. We can give no assurance that we will achieve the necessary technological advances or have the financial resources needed to introduce new products or services on a timely basis or that we will otherwise have the ability to compete effectively in the industries we serve. We may not be able to capitalize on the expansion of internet or other forms of interactive gaming or other trends and changes in the lottery and gaming industries. Part of our strategy is to take advantage of the liberalization of internet and mobile gaming, both within the U.S. and internationally. This strategy involves significant risks and uncertainties, including legal, business and financial risks. In general, our ability to successfully pursue our interactive gaming strategy depends on the laws and regulations relating to wagering over the internet and through interactive channels. Until recently, there was uncertainty as to whether the Wire Act prohibits states from conducting intrastate lottery transactions via the internet if the transmissions over the internet during the transaction cross state lines. In late 2011, the Office of Legal Counsel of the DOJ issued an opinion to the effect that state lottery ticket sales over the internet to in-state adults do not violate the Wire Act. The opinion may provide an impetus for states to authorize internet or other forms of interactive gaming in order to create an additional revenue stream. However, as a general matter, we believe states will be required or otherwise deem it advisable to enact enabling legislation or new regulations addressing the sale of lottery tickets or the offering of other forms of gaming over the internet. The enactment of internet gaming legislation that federalizes significant aspects of the regulation of internet gaming could have an adverse impact on our ability to pursue our interactive strategy in the U.S. For instance, at the end of 2012, the proposed language of the Internet Gambling Prohibition, Poker Consumer Protection, and Strengthening UIGEA Act of 2012 (commonly referred to as the Reid-Kyl bill) was released. While not introduced to Congress in 2012, it contains language designed to significantly limit the expansion of internet wagering in the United States, including limits on state lotteries selling lottery tickets over the internet and a prohibition of internet gaming activities other than poker. Internationally, laws relating to internet gaming are evolving, particularly in Europe. To varying degrees, a number of European governments have taken steps to change the regulation of internet wagering through the implementation of new or revised licensing and taxation regimes, including the possible imposition of sanctions on unlicensed providers. We cannot predict the timing, scope or terms of any such state, federal or foreign laws and regulations, or the extent to which any such legislation will facilitate or hinder our interactive strategy. In jurisdictions that authorize internet gaming, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in selling our technology, content and services to internet gaming operators as we expect to face intense competition from our traditional competitors in the lottery business as well as a number of other domestic and foreign providers (or the operators themselves), some of which have substantially greater financial resources and/or experience in this area than we do. In addition, there is a risk that the authorization of the sale of lottery tickets or games or other forms of gaming via the internet in a particular 21
23 jurisdiction could, under certain circumstances, adversely impact our lottery product sales through traditional channels in such jurisdiction. Any such adverse impact would be magnified to the extent we are not involved in, and generating revenue from, the provision of products or services for internet gaming in such jurisdiction. Know-your-customer (KYC) and geo-location programs and technologies supplied by third parties are an important aspect of certain internet or mobile gaming products and services because they confirm certain information with respect to players and prospective players, such as age, identity and location. Payment processing programs and technologies, typically provided by third parties, are also a necessary feature of internet and mobile wagering products and services. These programs and technologies are costly and may have an adverse impact on our internet or mobile gaming revenue. Additionally, there can be no assurance that products containing these programs and technologies will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, or that they will perform accurately or otherwise in accordance with our required specifications. Our ability to compete effectively in the internet gaming space will depend on the acceptance by our customers of the products and services we offer. Such products and services may rely on technology that we acquire or license from third parties. We are in the process of internally developing internet gaming solutions for our customers. Such internal development is costly and there can be no assurance that such development will result in commercially viable products. In addition, there can be no assurance that our internally developed products will not infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, or that other parties will not assert infringement claims against us. We are heavily dependent on our ability to renew our long-term contracts with our customers and we could lose substantial revenue and profits if we are unable to renew certain of our contracts. Generally, our customer contracts contain initial multi-year terms, with optional renewal periods held by the customer. Upon the expiration of a contract, including any extensions thereof, new contracts may be awarded through a competitive bidding process. Since late 2007, we have lost lottery systems contracts in South Carolina, West Virginia, South Dakota, New Hampshire and Vermont to our competitors following the expiration of our contracts. During 2010, the lottery authority in Maine awarded a new lottery contract to one of our competitors, which award was subsequently invalidated as a result of our protest. The competitor's appeal of the protest ruling was denied in October Our contract with Maine was extended until June 30, 2013 pending further action by the Maine lottery authority. In our U.K. gaming business, William Hill awarded a contract for the exclusive supply of gaming terminals to its entire LBO estate to one of our principal competitors. This contract took effect following the expiration of our gaming terminal supply contract with William Hill in March The loss of this contract impacted our results of operations in We are also required by certain of our lottery customers to provide surety or performance bonds in connection with our contracts. As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately $209.8 million of outstanding surety and performance bonds. There can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to obtain surety or performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our inability to provide such bonds would materially and adversely affect our ability to renew existing, or obtain new, lottery contracts. There can be no assurance that our current contracts will be extended or that we will be awarded new contracts as a result of competitive bidding processes or otherwise in the future. The termination, expiration or failure to renew one or more of our contracts could cause us to lose substantial revenue and profits, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to win or renew other contracts or pursue growth initiatives. For additional information regarding the potential expiration dates of certain of our contracts, see the table in "Business Contract Procurement" in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We may not have sufficient cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand and available borrowings under our credit agreement to finance required capital expenditures under new contracts, service our indebtedness and meet our other cash needs. These obligations require a significant amount of cash. Our lottery systems and gaming terminal businesses generally require significant upfront capital expenditures for terminal assembly, software customization and implementation, systems and equipment installation and telecommunications configuration. In connection with a renewal or bid of a lottery systems or gaming terminal contract, a customer may seek to obtain new equipment or impose new service requirements, which may require additional capital expenditures in order to retain or win the contract. Historically, we have funded these upfront costs through cash flows generated from operations, available cash on hand and borrowings under our credit agreement. Our ability to generate revenue and to continue to procure new contracts will depend on, among other things, our then present liquidity levels or our ability to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms. 22
24 If we do not have adequate liquidity or are unable to obtain financing for these upfront costs on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to bid on certain contracts, which could restrict our ability to grow and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Moreover, we may not realize the return on investment that we anticipate on new or renewed contracts due to a variety of factors, including lower than anticipated retail sales, higher than anticipated capital or operating expenses and unanticipated regulatory developments or litigation. We may not have adequate liquidity to pursue other aspects of our strategy, including bringing our products and services to new customers or new or underpenetrated geographies (including through equity investments) or pursuing strategic acquisitions. As of December 31, 2012, we had total indebtedness of approximately $1,468.2 million, or approximately 80.1% of our total capitalization, consisting primarily of borrowings under our senior secured term loan under our credit agreement and senior subordinated notes. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Our lenders, including the lenders participating in our revolving credit facilities, may have suffered losses related to their lending and other financial relationships, especially because of the general weakening of the national and global economy and increased financial instability of many borrowers. As a result, lenders may become insolvent or tighten their lending standards, which could make it more difficult for us to borrow under our revolving credit facilities or to obtain other financing on favorable terms or at all. Our financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected if we were unable to draw funds under our revolving credit facilities because of a lender default or to obtain other cost-effective financing. Any default by a lender in its obligation to fund its commitment under our revolving credit facilities (or its participation in letters of credit) could limit our liquidity to the extent of the defaulting lender's commitment. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to meet our commitments, we will be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness, selling material assets or operations or seeking to raise additional debt or equity capital. We cannot assure you that any of these actions could be completed on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms or at all, or that these actions would enable us to continue to satisfy our capital requirements. Moreover, our existing debt agreements contain, and our future debt agreements may contain, restrictive covenants that may prohibit us from adopting these alternatives. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debt. In connection with the pending merger with WMS, we entered into a commitment letter pursuant to which the lenders party thereto have agreed to provide the financing necessary to complete the transaction. The merger is not conditioned on our obtaining the proceeds of any financing, including the financing contemplated by the commitment letter. For further details regarding the commitment letter and the merger financing, see Note 23 (Subsequent Events) to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our credit facilities and the indentures governing our senior subordinated notes impose certain restrictions. Failure to comply with any of these restrictions could result in the acceleration of the maturity of our indebtedness. Were this to occur, we would not have sufficient cash to pay our accelerated indebtedness. The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our debt agreements, including our credit agreement and the indentures governing our senior subordinated notes may adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in new business activities. Our credit facilities and/or indentures restrict our ability to, among other things: declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock; prepay, redeem or purchase other debt; incur liens; make loans, guarantees, acquisitions and investments; incur additional indebtedness; engage in sale and leaseback transactions; amend or otherwise alter debt and other material agreements; make capital expenditures; engage in mergers, acquisitions or asset sales; engage in transactions with affiliates; and alter the business we conduct. In addition, our credit agreement requires us to maintain certain financial ratios. As a result of these covenants, we will be limited in the manner in which we can conduct our business, and may be unable to engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs. A failure to comply with the restrictions contained in our credit agreement or indentures, or to maintain the financial ratios required by our credit agreement, could lead to an event of default which could result in an acceleration of our indebtedness. See Note 13 (Long-Term and Other Debt) to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding these financial ratios. 23
25 There can be no assurance that our future operating results will be sufficient to ensure compliance with the covenants in our credit agreement, indentures or other debt instruments or to remedy any such default. In addition, in the event of acceleration, we may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make any accelerated payments. Our business depends on the protection of our intellectual property and proprietary information and on our ability to license intellectual property from third parties. We believe that our success depends, in part, on protecting our intellectual property in the U.S. and in foreign countries and our ability to license intellectual property from third parties on commercially reasonable terms. Our intellectual property includes certain patents and trademarks relating to our instant ticket games and wagering systems, as well as proprietary or confidential information that is not subject to patent or similar protection. Our intellectual property protects the integrity of our games, systems, products and services, which is a core value of our business. For example, our intellectual property is designed to ensure the security of the printing of our instant lottery tickets and provide simple and secure validation of our lottery tickets. Competitors may independently develop similar or superior products, software, systems or business models. In cases where our intellectual property is not protected by an enforceable patent, such independent development may result in a significant diminution in the value of our intellectual property. There can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our intellectual property. We enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, vendors, consultants and, to the extent legally permissible, our customers, and generally control access to, and the distribution of, our game designs, systems and other software documentation and proprietary information, as well as the designs, systems and other software documentation and information that we license from others. Despite our efforts to protect these proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may try to copy our gaming products, business models or systems, use certain of our confidential information to develop competing products, or develop independently or otherwise obtain and use our gaming products or technology, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and expensive, particularly because of the global nature of our operations. The laws of other countries may not adequately protect our intellectual property. There can be no assurance that our business activities, games, products and systems will not infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, or that other parties will not assert infringement claims (with or without merit) against us. Any such claim and any resulting litigation, should it occur, could subject us to significant liability for damages and could result in invalidation of our proprietary rights, distract management, and/or require us to enter into costly and burdensome royalty and licensing agreements. Such royalty and licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or may not be available at all. In the future, we may also need to file or respond to lawsuits to defend the validity of our intellectual property rights and trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. We rely on products and technologies that we license from third parties, including licensed properties (e.g., brands) and game content for our lottery and gaming businesses and the back-end technology platform we license from Video B Holdings Limited ("Video B"), a subsidiary of Playtech. There can be no assurance that these third-party licenses, or support for such licensed products and technology, will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Certain of our license agreements grant the licensor rights to audit our use of their intellectual property to confirm that we have made the required royalty payments. Disputes with licensors over royalty payment methodologies and calculations could result in the payment of additional royalties or penalties by us, cancellation or non-renewal of the underlying license, or litigation. Our business competes on the basis of the security and integrity of our systems and products. We believe that our success depends, in part, on providing secure products and systems to our customers. Attempts to penetrate security measures may come from various combinations of customers, retailers, vendors, employees and others. Our ability to monitor and ensure the quality of our products is periodically reviewed and enhanced. Similarly, we regularly assess the adequacy of our security systems to protect against any material loss to any of our customers and the integrity of our products to end-users. Expanded utilization of the internet and other interactive technologies may result in increased security concerns for us and our customers. There can be no assurance that our business will not be affected by a security breach or lapse, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, business and/or prospects. We and our industry are subject to strict government regulations that may limit our existing operations and have an adverse impact on our ability to grow. In the U.S. and many other countries, lotteries and other forms of gaming are subject to extensive and evolving regulation. Such gaming regulatory requirements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Therefore, we are subject to a wide range of complex gaming laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we are licensed or operate. Most jurisdictions require that we be licensed, that our key personnel and certain of our security holders be found suitable or be licensed, and that our products be reviewed and approved before placement. If a license, approval or finding of suitability is required by a 24
26 regulatory authority and we fail to seek or do not receive the necessary approval, license or finding of suitability, then we may be prohibited from providing our products or services for use in the particular jurisdiction. We will also become subject to regulation in any other jurisdictions in which we decide to operate in the future, including due to expansion of a customer's operations. The regulatory environment in any particular jurisdiction may change in the future, including changes that limit some or all of our existing operations in that jurisdiction, and any such change could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business or prospects. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the operation of lotteries, video gaming terminals, internet gaming or other forms of lottery or gaming will be approved by additional jurisdictions or that those jurisdictions in which these activities are currently permitted will continue to permit such activities. Laws and regulations relating to internet and other form of interactive gaming are evolving. For additional discussion regarding risks associated with the evolving interactive gaming regulatory landscape, see the risk factor above captioned " We may not be able to capitalize on the expansion of internet or other forms of interactive gaming or other trends and changes in the lottery and gaming industries." There can be no assurance that law enforcement or gaming regulatory authorities will not seek to restrict our business in their jurisdictions or institute enforcement proceedings. In addition, there can be no assurance that any instituted enforcement proceedings will be favorably resolved, or that such proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on our ability to retain and renew existing licenses or to obtain new licenses in other jurisdictions. Moreover, in addition to the risk of an enforcement action, our reputation may be damaged in the event of any legal or regulatory investigation whether or not we are ultimately accused of or found to have committed any violation. We are required to obtain and maintain licenses from various jurisdictions in order to operate certain aspects of our business and we and certain of our affiliates, major stockholders (generally persons and entities beneficially owning a specified percentage (typically 5% or more) of our equity securities), directors, officers and key employees are subject to extensive background investigations and suitability standards in our business. In some jurisdictions these investigations may require extensive personal and financial disclosure from major stockholders, directors, officers, and key employees. The failure of any such individuals or entities to submit to such background checks and provide the required disclosure could jeopardize the award of a contract or license to us or provide grounds for termination of an existing contract or license. We also will become subject to regulation in any other jurisdiction in which our customers operate in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain new licenses or renew any of our existing licenses, or that if such licenses are obtained, that such licenses will not be conditioned, suspended or revoked, and the loss, denial or non-renewal of any of our licenses could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business or prospects. Lottery and gaming authorities generally conduct background investigations of the winning vendor or license applicant, its parent corporation (if any) and its major stockholders, directors, officers and key employees. Generally, regulatory authorities have broad discretion when granting, renewing or revoking these approvals and licenses. Lottery and gaming authorities with which we do business may require the removal of any of our directors or employees who are deemed to be unsuitable and these authorities are generally empowered to disqualify us from receiving a lottery and gaming contract or operating a lottery or gaming system as a result of any such investigation. In addition, certain of the games, hardware, software and other technology or products used in our gaming business must be certified or approved in certain jurisdictions where we operate. Our failure, or the failure of any of our major stockholders, directors, officers, key employees, products or technology, in obtaining or retaining a required license or approval in one jurisdiction could negatively impact our ability (or the ability of any of our major stockholders, directors, officers, key employees, products or technology) to obtain or retain required licenses and approvals in other jurisdictions. The failure to obtain or retain a required license or approval in any jurisdiction would decrease the geographic areas where we are permitted to operate and generate revenue, decrease our share in the lottery or gaming industry and put us at a disadvantage relative to our competitors. Additional restrictions are often imposed on foreign entities such as us by international jurisdictions in which we seek to market our products or services. In light of these regulations and the potential impact on our business, our restated certificate of incorporation allows for the restriction of stock ownership by persons or entities who fail to comply with informational or other regulatory requirements under applicable gaming laws, who are found unsuitable to hold our stock by gaming authorities or whose stock ownership adversely affects our ability to obtain, maintain, renew or qualify for a license, contract, franchise or other regulatory approval from a gaming authority. The licensing procedures and background investigations of the authorities that regulate our businesses and the restriction in our certificate of incorporation may inhibit potential investors from becoming significant stockholders or inhibit existing stockholders from retaining or increasing their ownership. We are subject to the provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws that generally prohibit U.S. persons and companies and their intermediaries from offering, promising, authorizing or making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Certain of these anti-corruption laws also contain provisions that require accurate record keeping and further require companies to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Although we have policies and controls in place that are designed to ensure 25
27 compliance with these laws, if those controls are ineffective or an employee or intermediary fails to comply with the applicable regulations, we may be subject to criminal and civil sanctions as well as other penalties. Any such violation could disrupt our business and result in an adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations or financial condition. We have developed and implemented an internal compliance program in an effort to ensure that we comply with legal requirements imposed in connection with our gaming-related activities, as well as legal requirements generally applicable to all publicly traded corporations. The compliance program is run on a day-to-day basis by our Chief Compliance Officer with legal advice provided by attorneys in our legal and compliance departments and outside experts. The compliance program is overseen by the Compliance Committee of our Board of Directors, consisting entirely of non-employee directors. There can be no assurance that such steps will prevent the violation of one or more laws or regulations, or that a violation by us or an employee will not result in the imposition of a monetary fine or suspension or revocation of one or more of our licenses. Gaming opponents persist in their efforts to curtail the expansion of legalized gaming, which, if successful, could limit the growth of our operations. Legalized gaming is subject to opposition from gaming opponents. There can be no assurance that this opposition will not succeed in preventing the legalization of gaming in jurisdictions where these activities are presently prohibited or prohibiting or limiting the expansion of gaming where it is currently permitted. Any successful effort to curtail the expansion of, or limit, legalized gambling could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. We may not succeed in realizing the anticipated benefits of our strategic equity investments and relationships. Under certain circumstances we pursue growth through strategic equity investments, including joint ventures, as a means to, among other things, gain access to new and tactically important geographies, business opportunities and technical expertise, while simultaneously offering the potential for reducing capital requirements. These strategic equity investments currently include investments in LNS, Northstar, Sportech, RCN, as well as our equity investments in China. We are party to strategic agreements with Video B relating to gaming terminals that contemplate our use of, and reliance on, Video B's back-end technology platform in certain jurisdictions. In 2011, Global Draw completed the migration of its server-based gaming terminals to this back-end technology platform in the U.K. and migrated the majority of our server-based gaming terminals outside the U.K. to this technology during Northstar, in which we are a 20% equity holder, was awarded the agreement to be the private manager for the Illinois Lottery for a 10-year term following a competitive procurement process, which agreement was executed on January 18, See "Business-Operational Overview-Printed Products- Northstar" in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operations under the agreement commenced on July 1, Under the terms of the agreement, Northstar is entitled to receive annual incentive compensation payments from Illinois to the extent it is successful in increasing the lottery's net income above specified target levels of lottery net income, subject to a cap of 5% of the applicable year's net income. Northstar will be responsible for payments to Illinois to the extent the lottery net income levels set forth in Northstar's successful bid are not achieved, subject to a similar cap. The lottery net income targets set forth in Northstar's successful bid were $851.1 million, $950 million, $980 million, $986 million and $1 billion for the five fiscal years ending June 30, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively, representing a cumulative growth rate in lottery net income over such time period of approximately 49%. These net income targets are subject to upward or downward adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Northstar is entitled to be reimbursed on a monthly basis for most of its operating expenses under the agreement, although certain expenses of Northstar associated with managing the lottery are not reimbursable. Earnings and cash flows from our equity investment in Northstar may be impacted to the extent the lottery achieves, or fails to achieve, the applicable net income targets and will be impacted to the extent Northstar incurs non-reimbursable expenses. In December 2012, we formed Northstar New Jersey Lottery Group, a joint venture with GTECH and a subsidiary of the administrator of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS) ( Northstar New Jersey ), to bid to be the private manager for the New Jersey Lottery for a 15- year term. If Northstar New Jersey is selected as the private manager, we expect to own a 17.69% equity interest in the joint venture entity that will execute the private management agreement. In December 2012, a consortium in which we own a 16.5% equity interest was declared the provisional successful bidder in the tender process for a 12-year concession for the exclusive rights to the production, operation and management of instant ticket lotteries in Greece, subject to various regulatory approvals and Greek parliamentary approval. The consortium is principally comprised of OPAP S.A., Intralot and Scientific Games. If the award is approved, the consortium will pay an upfront fee of 190 million, of which our portion will be 31.4 million. Pursuant to our agreement with the consortium, we expect to serve as the exclusive supplier of instant tickets over the term of the concession. 26
28 We may not realize the anticipated benefits of these strategic equity investments and other strategic relationships that we may enter into, or may not realize them in the timeframe expected. These arrangements pose significant risks that could have a negative effect on our operations, including: the potential diversion of our management's attention from our core business; the potential failure to realize anticipated synergies, economies of scale or other value associated with the arrangements; unanticipated costs and other unanticipated events or circumstances; possible adverse effects on our operating results during any integration process; impairment charges if our strategic equity investments or relationships are not as successful as we originally anticipate; and our potential inability to achieve the intended objectives of the arrangements. Furthermore, our strategic equity investments and other strategic relationships pose risks arising from our reliance on our partners and our lack of sole decision-making authority, which may give rise to disputes between us and our partners. For instance, our investments in LNS and Northstar are minority investments in ventures whose largest equity holders are Lottomatica and GTECH, respectively, and, although certain corporate actions require our prior consent, we do not control decisions relating to the governance of LNS or Northstar. Our partners may have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our interests and goals, take actions contrary to our objectives or policies, undergo a change of control, experience financial and other difficulties or be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under our arrangements. The failure to avoid or mitigate the risks described above or other risks associated with such arrangements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may be required to recognize additional impairment charges. We assess our goodwill and other intangible assets and our long-lived assets as and when required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") to determine whether they are impaired. In 2012, we recorded asset impairment charges of $31.9 million related to the write-down of gaming terminals and software in our gaming business, $5.8 million related to the impairment of certain long-lived assets related to underperforming U.S. Lottery Systems contracts and $4.4 million related to the write-down of certain development costs in our licensed properties business. In addition we recorded $3.4 million of accelerated depreciation expense related to the reorganization of our Australian printing operations. We recorded accelerated depreciation expense of $6.4 million and $8.3 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a result of Global Draw's migration to a new platform technology. In 2010, we recorded asset impairment charges of approximately $17.5 million related to underperforming U.S. Lottery Systems contracts, $3.0 million of impairments related to obsolete equipment in Lottery Systems and $2.5 million of impairments related to obsolete gaming terminals. Refer to the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill" in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 1 (Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and Note 7 (Property and Equipment) to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We cannot predict the occurrence of impairments and there can be no assurance that we will not have to record additional impairment charges in the future. Our inability to complete future acquisitions and integrate those businesses successfully could limit our future growth. Part of our corporate strategy is to continue to pursue expansion and strategic acquisition opportunities. In connection with any such acquisitions, we could face significant challenges in managing and integrating the expanded or combined operations, including acquired assets, operations and personnel. There can be no assurance that acquisition opportunities will be available on acceptable terms or at all or that we will be able to obtain necessary financing or regulatory approvals to complete potential acquisitions. Our ability to succeed in implementing our strategy will depend to some degree upon the ability of our management to identify, complete and successfully integrate commercially viable acquisitions. Acquisition transactions may disrupt our ongoing business and distract management from other responsibilities. For additional discussion regarding risks relating to the pending merger with WMS, see the risk factors below under the heading " Risks Relating to Our Pending Merger with WMS. Our revenue fluctuates due to seasonality and timing of equipment sales and, therefore, our periodic operating results are not guarantees of future performance. Our revenue can fluctuate due to seasonality in some components of our business. The summer season historically has been the weakest part of the year for certain parts of our lottery business, particularly where our revenue is tied to a percentage of retail sales such as under our CSP contracts. Our Gaming LBO service revenue is typically lower in the first and third quarters of the year as there is generally a lower volume of players in the LBOs during those quarters. Our Lottery Systems service revenue can be somewhat dependent on the size of jackpots of lottery games such as Powerball and Mega Millions during the relevant period. Our licensed properties instant ticket revenue and our sales revenue can fluctuate due to the non-recurring nature of these revenue streams. 27
29 Our success depends in part on our ability to develop, enhance and/or introduce successful gaming concepts and game content. Lottery and gaming equipment sales and software license revenue usually reflects a limited number of large transactions, which may not recur on an annual basis. Consequently, revenue and operating margins can vary substantially from period to period as a result of the timing and magnitude of major equipment sales and software license revenue. As a general matter, lottery and gaming equipment sales generate lower operating margins than revenue from other aspects of our business. In addition, instant ticket sales may vary depending on the season and timing of contract awards, changes in customer budgets, ticket inventory levels, lottery retail sales and general economic conditions. Our businesses, including our Gaming businesses, develop and source game content both internally and through third-party suppliers. We also seek to secure third-party brands for incorporation into our game content. We believe creative and appealing game content produces more revenue for the gaming terminal customers of our Gaming businesses and provides them with a competitive advantage, which in turn enhances their revenue and their ability to attract new business or to retain existing business. In our lottery business, we believe that innovative gaming concepts and game content, such as multiplier games from our Lottery Systems segment and licensed properties game content from our Printed Products segment, can enhance the revenue of our lottery customers and distinguish us from our competitors. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sustain the success of our existing game content or effectively develop or obtain from third parties game content or licensed properties that will be widely accepted both by our customers and their end users. We are dependent on our suppliers and contract manufacturers, and any failure of these parties to meet our performance and quality standards or requirements could cause us to incur additional costs or lose customers. Our production of instant lottery tickets, in particular, depends upon a continuous supply of raw materials, supplies, power and natural resources. Our operating results could be adversely affected by an interruption or cessation in the supply of these items or a serious quality assurance lapse, including as a result of the insolvency of any of our key suppliers. Similarly, production of our presses and lottery and gaming systems is dependent upon a regular and continuous supply of components many of which are manufactured outside of the United States. The assembly of many of our terminals and other hardware is performed by third parties. Any interruption or cessation in the supply of these items or services or any material quality assurance lapse with respect thereto could materially adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders, our financial condition or our results of operations. We transmit certain wagering data utilizing satellite transponders, generally pursuant to long-term contracts. The technical failure of any of these satellites would require us to obtain other communication services, including other satellite access. In some cases, we employ backup systems to limit our exposure in the event of such a failure. There can be no assurance of access to such other satellites or, if available, the ability to obtain the use of such other satellites on favorable terms or in a timely manner. While satellite failures are infrequent, the operation of satellites is outside of our control. In addition, our gaming businesses include a number of significant contracts where performance depends upon our third-party suppliers delivering equipment on schedule in order to meet our contract commitments. Failure of the suppliers to meet their delivery commitments could result in us being in breach of, and subsequently losing, those contracts, which loss could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We may be liable for product defects or other claims relating to our products. Our products could be defective, fail to perform as designed or otherwise cause harm to our customers, their equipment or their products. If any of our products are defective, we may be required to recall the products and/or repair or replace them, which could result in substantial expenses and affect our profitability. Any problem with the performance of our products, such as an instant ticket misprint, could harm our reputation, which could result in a loss of sales to customers and/or potential customers. In addition, if our customers believe that they have suffered harm caused by our products, they could bring claims against us that could result in significant liability. Any claims brought against us by customers may result in diversion of management's time and attention, expenditure of large amounts of cash on legal fees and payment of damages, decreased demand for our products or services, or injury to our reputation. Our insurance may not sufficiently cover a large judgment against us or a large settlement payment, and is subject to customary deductibles, limits and exclusions. In October 2012, SNAI S.p.a. ("SNAI") filed a lawsuit in Italy against Barcrest and Global Draw relating to the erroneous printing of what appeared to be winning jackpots on certain video lottery terminals operated by SNAI and supplied by Barcrest. For additional information regarding this litigation, see "Legal Proceedings" in Item 3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have foreign operations, which subjects us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and other risks. 28
30 We are a global business and derive a substantial and growing portion of our revenue and profits from operations outside the United States. In the year ended December 31, 2012, we derived approximately 53% of our revenue from sales to customers outside of the United States. Our consolidated financial results are significantly affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange rate exposures arise from current transactions and anticipated transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and from the translation of foreign currency balance sheet accounts into U.S. dollar-denominated balance sheet accounts. We are exposed to currency exchange rate fluctuations because a significant portion of our revenue is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, particularly the British Pound Sterling and the Euro. In particular, uncertainty regarding economic conditions in Europe and the debt crisis affecting certain countries in the European Union poses risk to the stability of the Euro. Exchange rate fluctuations have in the past adversely affected our operating results and cash flows and may adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows and the value of our assets outside the U.S. in the future. From time to time, we enter into foreign currency forward or other hedging contracts. We are subject to the risk that a counterparty to one or more of these contracts defaults on its performance under the contracts. During an economic downturn, a counterparty's financial condition may deteriorate rapidly and with little notice and we may be unable to take action to protect our exposure. In the event of a counterparty default, we could incur losses, which may harm our business and financial condition. In the event that one or more of our counterparties becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, our ability to eventually recover any losses suffered as a result of that counterparty's default may be limited by the liquidity of the counterparty. Our operations in foreign jurisdictions subject us to additional risks customarily associated with such operations, including: the complexity of foreign laws, regulations and markets; the impact of foreign labor laws and disputes; other economic, tax and regulatory policies of local governments; and the ability to attract and retain key personnel in foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, foreign taxes paid by our foreign subsidiaries and equity investees on their earnings may not be recovered against our U.S. tax liability. At December 31, 2012, we had a deferred tax asset for our foreign tax credit ("FTC") carry forward of approximately $18.2 million. Although we will continue to explore tax planning strategies to use all of our FTC carry forward, at December 31, 2012, we established a valuation allowance of approximately $18.2 million against the FTC deferred tax asset to reduce the asset to the net amount that our management estimates is "more likely than not" to be realized. In addition, our ability to expand successfully in foreign jurisdictions involves other risks, including difficulties in integrating foreign operations, risks associated with entering jurisdictions in which we may have little experience and the day-to-day management of a growing and increasingly geographically diverse company. Our investment in foreign jurisdictions often entails entering into joint ventures or other business relationships with locally based entities, which can involve additional risks arising from our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on a partner's financial condition, inconsistency between our business interests or goals and those of our partners and disputes between us and our partners. Through our joint ventures and wholly owned foreign enterprises, we have lottery-related investments and business operations in China. Our business in, and results of operations from, China are subject to a number of risks, including risks relating to competition in China, our ability to finance or refinance our operations in China, the complex regulatory environment, our ability to receive timely product approvals, the political climate in China, the Chinese economy and our joint venture and other business partners in China. We have seen a recent decline in our instant ticket validation revenue and our joint venture's instant ticket printing revenue in China. We believe there is sustained consumer demand for lottery products generally, as retail sales of the entire lottery segment in China grew in 2012, but that competition from other lottery products is impacting instant ticket sales. We anticipate that the reversal of the decline in our instant ticket business in China will depend, in part, on sustained consumer demand for lottery products, expanding the lottery retailer network and increasing our involvement in the game selection process. There can be no assurance that lottery product demand will be sustained or that the decline in our instant ticket business will subside or reverse, and we cannot predict the rate of retailer expansion or the success of our other growth initiatives. There can be no assurance that legal and regulatory requirements in China will not change or that China's central or local governments will not impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would impose additional costs on our operations in China or even restrict or prohibit such operations. For example, comprehensive legislation 29
31 regulating competition took effect on August 1, This law, among other things, prohibits certain types of agreements (unless they fall within specified exemptions) and certain behavior classified as abuse of dominant market position or intellectual property rights. Additionally, new lottery regulations providing for enhanced supervision of the lottery industry in China became effective on July 1, We cannot predict with certainty what impact these laws and regulations or any future laws and regulations (or implementing rules or enforcement policies relating to any of the foregoing) will have on our business in China. We may not realize the operating efficiencies, competitive advantages or financial results that we anticipate from our investments in foreign jurisdictions and our failure to effectively manage the risks associated with our operations in foreign jurisdictions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business or prospects. If certain of our key personnel leave us, our business will be significantly adversely affected. We depend on the continued performance of our executive officers and key personnel, including A. Lorne Weil, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. If we lose the services of any of our executive officers or key personnel and cannot find suitable replacements for such persons in a timely manner, it could have an adverse impact on our business. We could incur costs in the event of violations of, or liabilities under, environmental laws. Our operations and real property are subject to U.S. and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to air emissions, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, and the cleanup of contaminated sites. We could incur costs, including cleanup costs, fines or penalties, and third-party claims as a result of violations of, or liabilities under, environmental laws. Some of our operations require environmental permits and controls to prevent or reduce environmental pollution, and these permits are subject to review, renewal and modification by issuing authorities. Failure to perform under our lottery and gaming contracts may result in litigation, substantial monetary liquidated damages and contract termination. Our business subjects us to contract penalties and risks of litigation, including due to potential allegations that we have not fully performed under our contracts or that goods or services we supply are defective in some respect. Litigation is pending in Colombia arising out of the termination of certain Colombian lottery contracts in An agency of the Colombian government has asserted claims against certain parties, including SGI, which owned a minority interest in Wintech de Colombia S.A., or Wintech (now liquidated), the former operator of the Colombian national lottery. The claims are for, among other things, contract penalties, interest and the amount of a bond issued by a Colombian surety. For additional information regarding this litigation, see "Legal Proceedings" in Item 3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. There can be no assurance that this litigation will not be finally resolved adversely to us or result in material liability. In addition, our lottery contracts typically permit a lottery authority to terminate the contract at any time for a material failure to perform, other specified reasons and, in many cases, for no reason at all. Lottery contracts to which we are a party also frequently contain exacting implementation schedules and performance requirements and the failure to meet these schedules and requirements may result in substantial monetary liquidated damages, as well as possible contract termination. We are also required by certain of our lottery customers to provide surety or performance bonds. We have paid or incurred liquidated damages under our lottery contracts and material amounts of liquidated damages could be imposed on us in the future, which could, if imposed, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business or prospects. Labor disputes may have an adverse effect on our operations. Certain of our employees are represented by unions, including a majority of the employees at our printing facilities in Canada, Chile and the United Kingdom. There can be no assurance that we will not encounter any conflicts or strikes with any labor union that represents our employees, which could have an adverse effect on our business or results of operations, cause us to lose customers or cause our customers' operations to be affected and could have permanent effects on our business. Risks Relating to Our Pending Merger with WMS We may be unable to obtain the approvals required to complete the merger with WMS or, in order to obtain such approvals, we may have to take actions that could have an adverse effect on our operations. On January 30, 2013, we entered into a merger agreement under which we agreed to acquire WMS. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the closing of the merger is subject to, among other conditions, receipt of approvals from certain governmental authorities relating to WMS' gaming operations. There can be no assurance that we will obtain all the required gaming approvals within the timeframe necessary to consummate the merger. Under certain circumstances specified in the merger agreement, we may be required to pay to WMS a termination fee of $80.0 million if we are unable to obtain the required gaming approvals. In addition, as a condition to granting their approval, certain gaming authorities may require us to 30
32 agree to concessions or undertakings that could have an adverse effect on our business or that of the combined company following the merger. Failure to complete the merger could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and results and could negatively impact our stock price. We will incur significant transaction costs relating to the merger, including legal, accounting, financial advisory, regulatory and other expenses. In connection with the merger, we currently expect to incur regulatory costs, professional fees and other expenses totaling approximately $4.0 million to $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2013, with additional transaction-related fees and expenses anticipated to be incurred throughout the balance of In general, these expenses are payable by us whether or not the merger is completed. If the merger is not completed under specified circumstances, we may be required to pay to WMS a termination fee of $80.0 million for the failure to obtain the required gaming approvals or $100.0 million for the failure to obtain the required financing. The payment of such transaction costs or termination fees could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, we could be subject to litigation in the event the merger is not consummated, which could subject us to significant liability for damages and result in the incurrence of substantial legal fees. The current market price of our stock may reflect an assumption that the pending merger will occur and failure to complete the merger could result in a decline in our stock price. Several putative class action lawsuits have been filed on behalf of WMS' stockholders relating to the pending merger which name us and, in some cases, certain of our affiliates, as defendants. If these actions or similar actions that may be brought are successful, the merger with WMS could be delayed or prevented. For additional information regarding pending litigation relating to the WMS merger, see "Legal Proceedings" in Item 3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If completed, the merger with WMS may not achieve the intended benefits or may disrupt our current plans and operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate the businesses of Scientific Games and WMS or do so within the intended timeframe or otherwise realize the expected benefits of the merger. The expected costs savings and operating synergies of the merger may not be fully realized, which could result in increased costs and have an adverse effect on the combined company's financial results and prospects. Our business may be negatively impacted following the merger if we are unable to effectively manage our expanded operations. The integration will require significant time and focus from management following the merger and may divert attention from the day-to-day operations of the combined business. Additionally, consummation of the merger could disrupt current plans and operations, which could delay the achievement of our strategic objectives. Risks Relating to Our Common Stock Certain holders of our common stock exert significant influence over the Company and may make decisions that conflict with the interests of other stockholders. In August 2004, MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc. was issued approximately 25% of our outstanding common stock in connection with its conversion of our then outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. According to an amendment to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on September 11, 2012, this holder beneficially owns 32,505,737 shares of our common stock, or approximately 38.3% of our outstanding common stock as of March 8, Pursuant to a stockholders' agreement with us, which we originally entered into with holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, such holder is entitled to appoint up to four members of our Board of Directors and certain actions of the Company require the approval of such holder. As a result, this holder has the ability to exert significant influence over our business and may make decisions with which other stockholders may disagree, including, among other things, delaying, discouraging or preventing a change of control of the Company or a potential merger, consolidation, tender offer, takeover or other business combination. The price of our common stock has been volatile and may continue to be volatile Our stock price may fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, many of which are outside our control, including variations in operating results, actions and pronouncements by various regulatory agencies, litigation, changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts, rating agency reports, performance of other companies that investors or security analysts deem comparable to us, news reports and announcements relating to our business and those of our competitors, responses to our pending merger with WMS, general and industry-specific economic conditions, public sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, and general market conditions. During the 52-week period ended March 8, 2013, our stock price fluctuated between a high of $12.29 and a low of $5.53. This significant stock price fluctuation may make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their common stock when they want and at prices they find attractive. 31
33 ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF MATTERS None. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES We occupy approximately 1,000,000 square feet of space throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Our principal facilities include approximately 355,000 square feet owned (subject to mortgage encumbrance) in Alpharetta, Georgia for administrative offices, manufacturing and warehousing (supporting all of our segments) and approximately 23,000 square feet of leased office space in New York, New York for our corporate offices. Internationally, we occupy approximately 778,000 square feet of owned or leased space, including administrative offices and manufacturing and warehouse facilities supporting the Printed Products segment in Leeds, England (approximately 150,000 square feet of which is owned), Montreal, Canada (approximately 119,000 square feet of which is owned) and Santiago, Chile (approximately 47,000 square feet of which is owned). Additionally, we own approximately 79,000 square feet in Germany for administrative offices, warehousing and distribution. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Although we are a party to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, we believe, on the basis of information presently available to us, that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not likely have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Our subsidiary, SGI, owned a minority interest in Wintech de Colombia S.A., or Wintech (now liquidated), which formerly operated the Colombian national lottery under contract with Empresa Colombiana de Recursos para la Salud, S.A. (together with its successor agencies, "Ecosalud"), an agency of the Colombian government. The contract provided for a penalty against Wintech, SGI and the other shareholders of Wintech of up to $5.0 million if certain levels of lottery sales were not achieved. In addition, SGI delivered to Ecosalud a $4.0 million surety bond as a further guarantee of performance under the contract. Wintech started the instant lottery in Colombia, but, due to difficulties beyond its control, including, among other factors, social and political unrest in Colombia, frequently interrupted telephone service and power outages, and competition from another lottery being operated in a province of Colombia that we believe was in violation of Wintech's exclusive license from Ecosalud, the projected sales level was not met for the year ended June 30, In 1993, Ecosalud issued a resolution declaring that the contract was in default. In 1994, Ecosalud issued a liquidation resolution asserting claims for compensation and damages against Wintech, SGI and other shareholders of Wintech for, among other things, realization of the full amount of the penalty, plus interest, and the amount of the bond. SGI filed separate actions opposing each resolution with the Tribunal Contencioso of Cundinamarca in Colombia (the Tribunal ), which upheld both resolutions. SGI appealed each decision to the Council of State. On May 25, 2012, the Council of State upheld the authority of Ecosalud to issue the resolutions, which decision was published on August 28, As a result of such decision, the Council of State will consider the merits of the claims set forth in the liquidation resolution in due course. On June 4, 1999, Ecosalud filed a collection proceeding against SGI to enforce the liquidation resolution and recover the claimed damages. In July 2002, the Tribunal denied SGI's preliminary motion to dismiss the collection proceeding and the decision was upheld on appeal. SGI's procedural defense motion was also denied. As a result of these decisions, the collection proceeding will be heard in due course on its merits by the Tribunal and an appeal stage will be available. SGI believes it has various defenses on the merits against Ecosalud's claims. Although we believe these claims will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, it is not feasible to predict the final outcome, and there can be no assurance that these claims will not ultimately be resolved adversely to us or result in material liability. On April 16, 2012, certain video lottery terminals operated by SNAI S.p.a. ("SNAI") in Italy and supplied by Barcrest erroneously printed what appeared to be winning jackpot and other tickets. SNAI has stated, and system data confirms, that no jackpots were actually won on that day. The terminals were deactivated pending a review by the Italian regulatory authority of the cause of the incident. We understand that the Italian regulatory authority has decided to revoke the certification of the version of the gaming system that Barcrest provided to SNAI and initiated proceedings to revoke the concession SNAI relies upon to operate video lottery terminals in Italy. From a release issued by SNAI on March 1, 2013, we understand that the Italian regulatory authority has issued a decision in which it fined SNAI 1.5 million but did not revoke SNAI's concession. In October 2012, SNAI filed a lawsuit in Italy against Barcrest and Global Draw, our subsidiary which acquired Barcrest from IGT-UK Group Limited, claiming liability based on breach of contract and tort. The lawsuit seeks to terminate 32
34 SNAI's agreement with Barcrest and damages arising from the deactivation of the terminals, including among other things, lost profits, expenses and costs, potential awards to players who have sought to enforce what appeared to be winning jackpot and other tickets, compensation sought by managers of the gaming locations where SNAI video lottery terminals supplied by Barcrest were installed, damages to commercial reputation and any future damages arising from SNAI's potential loss of its concession or inability to obtain a new concession. While we believe we have meritorious defenses and potential third party recoveries, we are still in the process of evaluating the lawsuit and cannot currently predict the outcome of this matter. The following complaints challenging the merger have been filed in various jurisdictions: (i) in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Shaev v. WMS Industries Inc., Gamache, et al. (C.A. No. 8279); (ii) in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, Gardner v. WMS Industries Inc., Scientific Games Corporation, et al., No CH 3540 (Ill. Cir., Cook County); (iii) in the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit of Lake County, Illinois, Gil v. WMS Industries Inc., Scientific Games Corp., et al., No. 13 CH 0473 (Ill. Cir., Lake County); (iv) in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Hornsby v. Gamache, et al. (C.A. No. 8295); (v) in the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit of Lake County, Illinois, Sklodowski v. WMS Industries, Inc., Scientific Games Corp., et al. (Ill. Cir., Lake County); (vi) in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Barresi v. WMS Industries Inc., Gamache, et al. (C.A. No. 8326); and (vii) in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 152 Pension Fund and UA Local 152 Retirement Annuity Fund v. WMS Industries Inc., Gamache, et al. (Ill. Cir., Cook County). Each of the actions is a putative class action filed on behalf of the public stockholders of WMS and names as defendants WMS, its directors and Scientific Games Corporation. The Shaev, Hornsby, Barresi and Plumbers & Pipefitters actions also name SGI and our subsidiary, SG California Merger Sub, Inc., as defendants. The complaints generally allege that the WMS directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with their consideration and approval of the merger and that we aided and abetted those alleged breaches. The complaints seek, among other relief, declaratory judgment and an injunction against the merger. On February 25, 2013, the Delaware Court of Chancery consolidated the Delaware actions under In re WMS Industries Inc. Stockholders Litigation (C.A. No VCP). On March 1, 2013, the plaintiffs in the consolidated Delaware actions filed an amended complaint adding allegations that the disclosures in WMS' preliminary proxy statement were inadequate. The outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with any certainty. An adverse judgment for monetary damages could have a material adverse effect on the operations and liquidity of WMS or us, as the case may be, and therefore could adversely affect the combined business if the merger is completed. A preliminary injunction could delay or jeopardize the completion of the merger, and an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin completion of the merger. We and WMS believe that the claims asserted in the lawsuits are without merit and plan to defend against them vigorously. Additional lawsuits arising out of or relating to the merger agreement or the merger may be filed in the future. ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES Not applicable. 33
35 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES Market for Our Common Stock Our outstanding common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "SGMS". The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the range of high and low sales prices of our Class A common stock. Sales Price of Scientific Games Common Stock High Low Fiscal Year 2012 (January 1, December 31, 2012) First Quarter $ $ 9.86 Second Quarter $ $ 7.95 Third Quarter $ 9.01 $ 5.53 Fourth Quarter $ 8.89 $ 6.64 Fiscal Year 2011 (January 1, December 31, 2011) First Quarter $ $ 8.26 Second Quarter $ $ 8.32 Third Quarter $ $ 6.80 Fourth Quarter $ 9.82 $ 6.50 On March 8, 2013, the last reported sale price for our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was $8.88 per share. There were approximately 969 holders of record of our common stock as of March 8, Dividend Policy We have never paid any cash dividends on our Class A common stock. Our Board of Directors presently intends to retain earnings for use in the business. Any future determination as to payment of dividends will depend upon our financial condition and results of operations and such other factors as are deemed relevant by our Board. Further, under the terms of certain of our debt agreements, we are limited in our ability to pay cash dividends or make certain other restricted payments (other than stock dividends) on our Class A common stock. Stock Repurchase Program On December 6, 2012, our Board of Directors approved an extension of our existing stock repurchase program to December 31, The program, originally announced in May 2010, was due to expire on December 31, Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase, from time to time through open market purchases or otherwise, shares of our outstanding common stock in an aggregate amount up to $200 million. As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately $105.2 million available for potential repurchases under the program. Repurchases for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012 are reflected in the following table: Period Total Number of Shares Purchased (1) Average Price Paid per Share Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs 10/1/ /31/2012 1,693,611 $ ,670,292 $113.0 million 11/1/ /30/2012 1,031,949 $ ,030,941 $105.5 million 12/1/ /31/ ,839 $ ,000 $105.2 million Total 2,897,399 $ ,735,233 $105.2 million (1) In addition to shares of Class A common stock repurchased as part of our publicly announced stock repurchase program, this column reflects 162,166 shares acquired from employees to satisfy the withholding taxes associated with the vesting of restricted stock units during the quarter ended December 31, For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, we repurchased 2,735,233 shares as a part of our repurchase program for approximately $21.1 million. 34
36 Shares Authorized For Issuance Pursuant to Equity Compensation Plans (in thousands) There are 13,500 shares of common stock authorized for awards under our 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan") plus available shares from a pre-existing equity compensation plan, which plans were approved by our stockholders. We also have outstanding stock options granted as part of inducement stock option awards that were not approved by stockholders as permitted by applicable stock exchange rules. The table below shows information regarding our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2012: Equity Compensation Plans Shares available for future issuance (1) 814 Unrecognized cost of outstanding awards $ 44,700 Weighted average future recognition period (years) 2.0 (1) Excludes 357 shares available for future issuance under our employee stock purchase plan as of December 31, Under the share counting rules of equity compensation plans, awards may be outstanding relating to a greater number of shares than the aggregate remaining available under the plans so long as awards will not result in delivery and vesting of shares in excess of the number then available under the plans. Shares available for future issuance do not include shares expected to be withheld in connection with outstanding awards to satisfy tax withholding obligations, which may be deemed to be available for awards under the plans as permitted under the applicable share counting rules of the plans. Stockholder Return Performance Graph The following graph compares the cumulative total stockholder return over the five-year period ended December 31, 2012 of our common stock, the Nasdaq Composite Index and an index of peer group companies that operate in industries or lines of business similar to ours. The peer group index consists of Bally Technologies, Inc. (New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"): BYI), IGT (NYSE: IGT), WMS (NYSE: WMS), Multimedia Games, Inc. (Nasdaq Global Select Market: MGAM), Aristocrat Leisure Limited (Australian Securities Exchange: ALL), Lottomatica (Borsa Italiana S.p.A.: LTO), Intralot (Athens Stock Exchange: INLOT), Pollard (Toronto Stock Exchange: PLB.UN-TO) and Playtech Limited (AIM: PTEC). The companies in each peer group have been weighted based on their relative market capitalization each year. The graph assumes that $100 was invested in our common stock, the Nasdaq Composite Index and the peer group index at the beginning of the five-year period and that all dividends were reinvested. The comparisons are not intended to be indicative of future performance of our common stock. 35

40 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") is intended to enhance the reader's understanding of our operations and current business environment. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the description of our business (Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) and our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto (Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K). This MD&A also contains forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures and information contained under "Forward-Looking Statements" at the beginning of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and "Risk Factors" (Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10- K). As used in this MD&A, the terms "we," "us," "our" and the "Company" mean Scientific Games Corporation together with its consolidated subsidiaries. Business Overview General We are a global leader in providing customized, end-to-end gaming solutions to lottery and gaming organizations worldwide. Our integrated array of products and services includes instant lottery games, lottery gaming systems, terminals and services, and internet applications, as well as server-based gaming terminals and associated gaming control systems. We also gain access to technology and pursue global expansion through strategic supply agreements, acquisitions and equity investments. We report our operations in three business segments: Printed Products, Lottery Systems and Gaming. Our revenue is classified as instant tickets revenue, service revenue and sales revenue. Instant tickets revenue includes revenue related to our instant lottery ticket fulfillment and services businesses, including our brand licensing and Properties Plus businesses. Revenue generated from our sales of lottery systems, terminals, gaming terminals, gaming content and phone cards, which sales are typically non-recurring in nature and not subject to multi-year supply agreements, is categorized as sales revenue. All other revenue generated from Lottery Systems (including revenue from the validation of instant tickets and other systems management contracts) and Gaming is classified as service revenue. Certain unallocated expenses managed at the corporate level, comprised primarily of general and administrative costs and other income and expense are not allocated to our reportable segments. See Business Segment Results below and Note 2 (Business and Geographic Segments) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional business segment information. The discussion below highlights certain key drivers of our business and certain known trends, demands, commitments, events and uncertainties that have affected our recent, and may affect our future, financial and operating performance. Pending Merger with WMS On January 30, 2013, we entered into a merger agreement with WMS, SGI, and SG California Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Scientific Games ( Merger Sub ). The merger agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into WMS, with WMS surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Scientific Games. In the merger, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.50 per share, of WMS, other than any dissenting shares, restricted shares, shares held by Scientific Games or Merger Sub and WMS treasury shares, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $26.00 in cash, without interest (the Merger Consideration ). At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding WMS stock option granted prior to January 30, 2013 will be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the number of shares underlying the WMS stock option multiplied by the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price, if any. In addition, each outstanding award of WMS restricted shares, restricted stock units and phantom units will be cancelled as of the effective time, in exchange for the right of the holder to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares underlying each award, except for certain equity awards that are permitted to be granted by WMS following January 30, 2013 (including employee stock options), which will be converted into equivalent awards of Scientific Games using a customary exchange ratio of WMS' stock price to Scientific Games' stock price on the closing date. As of the effective time, each outstanding award of WMS performance units will be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares underlying the performance 39
41 units at the applicable payout percentage, which will be 100% unless the relevant performance targets are met or exceeded as of the effective time, in which case the payout percentage will be determined based on actual performance. The closing of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval of the merger by WMS stockholders and approvals by various regulatory authorities. The parties have agreed that receipt of gaming approvals from approximately 50 jurisdictions is a condition to closing of the merger, provided that receipt of gaming approvals from approximately 30 of these jurisdictions will cease to be a condition to closing from and after October 31, We believe that the approximately 50 jurisdictions include the material jurisdictions from which gaming approvals will be required prior to closing. We believe that the approximately 20 jurisdictions with respect to which approvals are a condition to any closing include the material jurisdictions where we anticipate longer lead times for obtaining approvals. Scientific Games is entitled to a 20 consecutive business day financing marketing period if all gaming approvals are received prior to October 31, Under the merger agreement, WMS may not initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage competing proposals or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding alternative business combination transactions. The merger agreement contains certain termination rights for both Scientific Games and WMS and further provides that, in connection with termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, (i) we may be required to pay to WMS a termination fee of $100.0 million if all the conditions to closing have been met and the merger is not consummated because of a breach by our lenders of their obligations to finance the transaction, (ii) we may be required to pay to WMS a termination fee of $80.0 million if we are unable to obtain the gaming approvals that are conditions to closing prior to the termination date, and (iii) WMS may be required to pay to us a termination fee of $44.3 million under specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, a change in the WMS board's recommendation of the merger or termination of the merger agreement by WMS to enter into a written definitive agreement for a superior proposal (as defined in the merger agreement). In connection with the merger agreement, Scientific Games and SGI entered into a commitment letter with Bank of America, N.A., Credit Suisse AG and UBS AG, Stamford Branch and certain of their respective affiliates, which was subsequently amended and restated on February 19, 2013 to add J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, the Royal Bank of Scotland, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and certain of their respective affiliates as additional commitment parties. Pursuant to the commitment letter, the commitment parties have agreed to provide the financing necessary to fund the consideration to be paid pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement (the Debt Commitment Financing ). The Debt Commitment Financing is anticipated to consist of a senior secured first-lien term loan facility in a total principal amount of $2,300.0 million and a senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility in a total principal amount of $300.0 million. The funding of the Debt Commitment Financing is contingent on the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the commitment letter. The merger is not conditioned on our obtaining the proceeds of any financing, including the financing contemplated by the commitment letter. In connection with the merger, we currently expect to incur regulatory costs, professional fees and other expenses totaling approximately $4.0 million to $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2013, with additional transaction-related fees and expenses anticipated to be incurred throughout the balance of For further information regarding this pending acquisition and the Debt Commitment Financing, please see the full text of the merger agreement, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 5, 2013, and the full text of the commitment letter, a copy of which is filed as exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Printed Products Retail sales of instant tickets can be a key performance indicator of our instant ticket revenue, although there may not always be a direct correlation between retail sales and our instant ticket revenue due to the type of contract ( e.g., PPK versus POS or CSP contracts), the impact of changes in our customer contracts, the performance of our licensed properties business or other factors. Based on third-party data, our customers' total instant ticket lottery retail sales in the U.S. increased 9.1% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to Most of our U.S. customers reported year-over-year growth in retail sales of instant lottery tickets, which we believe was driven by a variety of factors, including product innovation, be tter instant ticket product management, prize payout increases, lottery private management and sales of higher price-point tickets. We believe that, as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, U.S. instant ticket retail sales during the first quarter of 2013 appear to be soft relative to the first quarter of 2012, when U.S. retail sales of instant tickets grew over 12%. Our licensed game contracts are generally game-specific and therefore short-term and non-recurring. Our instant ticket revenue may be negatively impacted to the extent we are unable to continue to win licensed game-specific or multi-state game contracts. There has been increased interest within the lottery industry in player loyalty programs, which we believe may result in further growth opportunities for our Properties Plus loyalty program, which features players clubs, reward programs, second chance promotional websites and interactive games. During 2012, we commenced new Properties Plus programs for four 40
42 lotteries for a total of seven active programs as of December 31, In February 2013, the Maryland lottery signed an agreement with us for a Properties Plus program and we are in active discussions with several other lotteries regarding these programs, both in the U.S. and internationally. We are the primary supplier of instant lottery tickets for LNS, in which we have a 20% equity investment, which was awarded the concession to be the exclusive operator of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant ticket lottery beginning on October 1, Over the life of the concession, we expect that we will supply no less than 80% of LNS' instant ticket production requirements. Retail sales for LNS for the year ended December 31, 2012 declined by approximately 3.8% compared to 2011, which we believe was due in part to a decline in consumer spending related to difficult economic conditions and tax increases in Italy. We also faced challenging year-over-year retail sales comparisons for the year ended December 31, 2012 in light of the strong retail sales performance of the Italian instant ticket lottery during the prior year. Northstar, in which we have a 20% equity investment, commenced operations as the private manager of the Illinois lottery on July 1, 2011 under the PMA with the State of Illinois. Under our CSP agreement with Northstar, we are responsible for the design, development, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution of instant lottery tickets and are compensated based on a percentage of retail sales. Illinois lottery instant ticket sales increased approximately 22.6% for the year ended December 31, Our POS-based instant lottery ticket revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 reflected our CSP agreement with Northstar which commenced on July 1, Northstar is entitled to reimbursement on a monthly basis for most of its operating expenses under the PMA, although certain expenses of Northstar associated with managing the lottery are not reimbursable. Northstar is also entitled to receive annual incentive compensation payments from the State to the extent it is successful in increasing the lottery's net income (as defined in the PMA) above specified target levels, subject to a cap of 5% of the applicable year's net income. Northstar will be responsible for payments to the State to the extent such targets are not achieved, subject to a similar cap. The lottery net income targets set forth in Northstar's successful bid for the PMA were $851 million, $950 million, $980 million, $986 million and $1 billion for the five fiscal years ending June 30, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively, representing a cumulative growth rate in lottery net income over such time period of approximately 49%. These net income target levels are subject to upward or downward adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the PMA. Northstar may seek downward adjustments to the net income targets in the event certain actions of the State (or the federal government) have a material adverse effect on the lottery's net income and Northstar's ability to receive incentive compensation payments. On November 6, 2012, an arbitrator determined that Northstar is entitled to a $28.4 million downward adjustment to the net income target for the lottery's 2012 fiscal year and a $2.9 million downward adjustment to the net income target for the lottery's 2013 fiscal year. We understand that the State has objected to the arbitrator's determination. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, it is unclear if these adjusted net income targets are final or subject to further review or adjustment. Accordingly, as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Northstar is unable to estimate, and therefore has not recorded, any amounts in respect of annual incentive compensation or net income shortfall payments for the year ended December 31, As U.S. and international jurisdictions increasingly look towards lottery and gaming as a source to grow revenue, we believe there will be continued interest in pursuing an outsourcing model whereby the day-to-day management of lotteries are conducted by a third party, similar to the PMA model in Illinois. To the extent any of our lottery customers enter into a private management agreement, such lottery customer or the private manager may terminate our existing contract(s) with the lottery customer as part of the transition to the private management model. The Indiana lottery recently awarded a private management agreement to one of our competitors. We expect to enter into an instant ticket lottery contract with the manager of the Indiana lottery that is expected to commence in April 2013 following the expiration of our current instant ticket lottery contract with the Indiana lottery. We recently assisted the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in its potential procurement of a private management agreement for the Pennsylvania lottery. In light of our role in the process, we did not bid for the private management agreement in Pennsylvania. On January 11, 2013, the Commonwealth issued a notice of award of the private management agreement to a bidder. On February 14, 2013, the Pennsylvania Attorney General rejected the agreement as unlawful. We cannot be certain as to the status of the private management agreement or what the ultimate resolution of this privatization effort will be at this time. Under our current contracts with the Pennsylvania lottery, we are the exclusive provider of instant lottery tickets and lottery systems and services in Pennsylvania through August 2015 and December 2014, respectively. In December 2012, we formed Northstar New Jersey with GTECH and OMERS to bid to be the private manager for the New Jersey Lottery for a 15- year term. If Northstar New Jersey is selected as the private manager, we expect to own a 17.69% equity interest in the joint venture entity that will execute the private management agreement. 41
43 Following a strategic review of our global instant lottery ticket business, we commenced a reorganization plan on April 18, 2012 to cease all printing and finishing activities at our Australia facility, and during the second half of 2012 we migrated printing for customers in this region to our other manufacturing facilities. We recorded approximately $5.9 million of employee termination and other restructuring costs associated with the reorganization for the year ended December 31, Other restructuring costs include approximately $1.3 million resulting from vacating our facility. In addition, we recorded approximately $3.4 million of accelerated depreciation for equipment related to this reorganization. We do not expect to incur additional material costs or accelerated depreciation related to this reorganization. On June 8, 2012, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Provoloto for approximately $9.7 million, subject to certain adjustments, including an estimated earn-out payable to the sellers of approximately $2.0 million contingent on the future performance of the acquired business. Provoloto develops and distributes instant lottery tickets and manages instant ticket lotteries for Mexican charities. We expect this acquisition to strengthen our presence in Latin America and create a platform for further expansion in the region. The operating results of Provoloto have been included in our Printed Products segment and have been consolidated in our results of operations since the date of acquisition. The acquisition did not have a material impact on our results of operations in On December 12, 2012, the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund provisionally awarded the consortium in which we own a 16.5% equity interest a 12-year concession for the exclusive rights to the production, operation and management of instant ticket lotteries in Greece. The consortium is principally comprised of OPAP S.A., Scientific Games and Intralot. The concession will cover current and future instant lotteries which are conducted using physical tickets, as well as internet sales of physical tickets. Operations under the new concession are subject to various regulatory approvals and Greek parliamentary approval. We will be responsible for providing instant lottery ticket marketing services to the lotteries and expect to enter into a supply agreement for the exclusive provision of all instant ticket production and game design services to the consortium. If the award is approved, the consortium will pay an upfront payment of 190 million, of which our portion will be 31.4 million, and will be responsible for a monthly fee to the lotteries equal to a percentage of gross gaming revenue. According to third-party data, in 2011, OPAP generated 4.4 billion in total lottery retail sales in Greece, representing approximately 386 in per capita sales, making it the third largest lottery in the world in terms of per capita sales based on third party data. The instant ticket lottery has been inactive since Lottery Systems Retail sales of draw games can be a key performance indicator of our lottery systems service revenue, although there may not always be a direct correlation between retail sales and our lottery systems revenue due to the terms of contract, the impact of changes in our customer contracts or other factors. Based on third-party data, our Lottery Systems customers' total draw game retail sales in the U.S. increased 9.7% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to Our Lottery Systems service revenue in the U.S. increased 10.1% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 2011 due in part to this improvement in U.S. retail sales. The level of jackpots of the Powerball and Mega Milli ons multi-state draw lottery games have an impact on U.S. retail sales, and therefore, our service revenue in any given period. We believe that, as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, U.S. draw game retail sales during the first quarter of 2013 appear to be soft relative to the first quarter of 2012, when U.S. retail sales of draw games grew nearly 16%. In 2011, U.S. lottery directors authorized certain changes to the Powerball game, including an increase in the ticket price to $2, which went into effect on January 15, The industry experienced the largest Powerball jackpot in history ($587.5 million) and the largest Mega Millions jackpot in history ($656 million) during the year ended December 31, Our Lottery Systems service revenue is also impacted by retail sales of instant lottery tickets where we provide instant lottery ticket validation services as part of a lottery systems contract. Our Lottery Systems sales revenue primarily relates to one-time sales of equipment and is nonrecurring in nature. In June 2012, we executed a four-year extension of our contract to provide lottery systems and services, along with instant tickets, to Loteria Electronica in Puerto Rico. In June 2012, we executed a one-year extension of our lottery systems contract with the Maine lottery. In August 2012, Maine issued a lottery systems and instant lottery ticket RFP that we responded to in October We understand the State is still evaluating the bids it received. The Indiana lottery recently awarded a private management agreement to one of our competitors. We expect that our lottery systems contract with the Indiana lottery will be terminated in connection with the commencement of the private management model in Indiana. On January 11, 2013, we entered into an agreement with the new manager of the Indiana lottery to provide existing lottery systems equipment and services through August 2016 which is expected to commence in April On February 18, 2013, we executed a five-year extension of our lottery systems contract with the Connecticut lottery. We are the exclusive instant ticket validation network provider to the CSL. The POS rate we receive under our China instant ticket validation contract decreased by 0.1% in January 2012 and is scheduled to decrease by an additional 0.1% in January 2014, in accordance with the contract. 42
44 In China, we have seen a recent decline in our instant ticket validation revenue and our joint venture's instant ticket printing revenue as instant ticket retail sales of the CSL decreased approximately 10.0% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to We continue to believe there is sustained consumer demand for lottery products in China, as retail sales of the entire lottery segment grew by 18% in 2012 compared to 2011, but that competition from other lottery products is impacting instant ticket sales. We remain focused on improving sales trends by expanding the lottery retailer network and increasing our involvement in the game selection process. We believe it will take some time for any such actions to take effect. To the extent we are not able to successfully implement these remedial actions and offset our CSL contract rate reductions by retail sales growth, our revenue and profitability may be adversely affected. On April 7, 2012, we signed a five-year agreement in China to provide sales and distribution management services to the Hubei Sports Lottery. The agreement is similar to the CSP contracts we have with many of our North American and European customers. We expect that these services will assist the Hubei Sports Lottery in achieving higher retail sales and lower operating costs. We expect operations under the contract to commence in We entered into a contract, effective in December 2011, to design, implement and administer our AEGIS-Video Central Management and Control System (CMCS) for the Illinois Gaming Board. Under the terms of the contract, we will provide real-time communication and control between every licensed video gaming terminal in the State of Illinois, as well as day-to-day management of the CMCS throughout the State. The contract was awarded through a competitive procurement process, has an initial term of six years and may be extended by mutual agreement for up to four additional years. Operations under the contract commenced on October 9, On July 19, 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Parspro for approximately $11.8 million. Parspro is a provider of sports betting systems and related products via point of sale terminals, the internet and mobile devices. The acquired assets include technology that we expect to integrate into our Lottery Systems business and our interactive game platform as part of an expanded service offering to lottery customers. The operating results of Parspro have been included in our Lottery Systems segment and have been consolidated in our results of operations since the date of acquisition. The acquisition did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the year ended December 31, Gaming In our U.K. gaming terminal business, our compensation is typically based on gross win ( i.e., amount bet less player winnings) generated by our gaming terminals (subject to certain adjustments as may be specified in a particular contract, including adjustments for taxes and other fees). Our Gaming service revenue is therefore impacted by the size of our installed gaming terminal base and the gross win generated by our terminals. Our Gaming sales revenue is generally non-recurring in nature. Our U.K. LBO contracts generally have initial terms of two to four years with potential extensions. Our gross win per terminal per day increased approximately 5.0% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to We had an installed base of approximately 21,200 and 23,100 LBO gaming terminals in the U.K. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2011, we completed the migration of our server-based gaming terminals in the U.K. to a new back-end technology platform and migrated the majority of our server-based gaming terminals outside the U.K. to this technology during As of June 30, 2011, we completed the installation of approximately 8,000 gaming terminals for the entire Ladbrokes Betting and Gaming Ltd. LBO estate in accordance with the contract awarded to us in In January 2012, William Hill, a U.K. bookmaker, awarded a contract for the exclusive supply of gaming terminals to its entire LBO estate to one of our competitors. Our contract with William Hill expired in March 2013, resulting in a decrease in deployed gaming terminals of approximately 1,900. The loss of this contract impacted our installed gaming terminal base and our results of operations in On October 5, 2012, we extended an agreement to continue as the exclusive provider of gaming terminals for Gala Coral, a major U.K. bookmaker, through December 31, On June 7, 2012, we acquired ADS for 3.5 million, subject to certain adjustments. ADS provides maintenance and other services for LBOs in the U.K. We have integrated the acquisition into our existing Gaming business and we expect that the acquisition will allow us to expand the services we provide to our LBO customers. The operating results of ADS have been included in our Gaming segment and have been consolidated in our results of operations since the date of acquisition. The acquisition did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the year ended December 31, On September 23, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Barcrest, a leading supplier of gaming content, platforms and systems to gaming operators in the U.K. and continental Europe, including pubs, LBOs, bingo halls and arcades. The acquisition provides us with an expansive library of gaming titles and properties, as well as an existing base of business in 43
45 interactive gaming in which Barcrest game content is made available through internet, mobile and other digital delivery channels. We had an installed base of approximately 4,800 and 6,100 gaming terminals in our U.K. pub, bingo hall and arcade business as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The comparability of our 2012 results of operations with our 2011 results of operations is impacted by the Barcrest acquisition. In January 2012, following a comprehensive strategic review, we announced our exit from the Barcrest analog terminal business in order to focus our game design and other resources solely on our digital server-based supply model. We also reorganized our pub business in an effort to more effectively capitalize on the Barcrest acquisition. In 2012, we recorded approximately $5.7 million of employee termination and restructuring costs associated with the reorganization. Other restructuring costs include approximately $1.4 million resulting from vacating facilities. We do not expect to incur additional material costs or accelerated depreciation related to this reorganization. We continue to review strategic alternatives for our pub business. We continue to seek to expand our server-based gaming terminal business outside the U.K., with current deployments in the Caribbean, Czech Republic, Mexico and Puerto Rico. We had an installed base of approximately 5,100 and 6,500 gaming terminals outside of the U.K. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In April 2012, approximately 1,400 video lottery terminals operated by SNAI in Italy and supplied by Barcrest were deactivated following the erroneous printing of what appeared to be winning jackpot and other tickets. The deactivation of the terminals negatively impacted the Gaming results of operations during See "Legal Proceedings" in Item 3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information In late 2010, the U.K. government announced its intention to change the taxation of gaming machines by replacing the currently applicable amusement machine license duty and the value-added tax with a new machine games duty, or MGD, based on the gross win generated by a gaming machine. In a budget statement issued in March 2012, the U.K. government announced a standard MGD rate of 20% on gross win, effective February 1, These tax changes may negatively impact our gaming machine customers' businesses and, therefore, could negatively impact our business in Competition and Foreign Currency Risk We believe we are likely to continue to experience a highly competitive environment for U.S. and international customer contracts in connection with bids, re-bids, extensions and renewals, which could lead to loss of contracts, rate or volume reductions and additional service requirements in contracts that we win or retain. See the table Business - Contract Procurement in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our customer contracts, including when they may become subject to re-bid, extension, or renewal. Our strategy to mitigate these industry trends includes working with our customers to grow their sales through a variety of methods including launching new products and services, implementing innovative technologies and marketing tools, and expanding retail distribution. We derived approximately 53% and 52% of our annual revenue from sales to customers outside of the U.S. in 2012 and 2011, respectively and are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the British Pound Sterling and the Euro. The British Pound Sterling and the Euro represented, respectively, approximately $246 million, or 26.1%, and $65 million, or 6.9%, of our consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, Historically, foreign currency fluctuations have impacted our revenue more than our expenses, as a portion of our raw materials, such as paper, ink and point-of-sale terminals are contracted for in U.S. dollars. We also have foreign currency exposure related to certain of our equity investments. Our earnings from our Euro-denominated equity investment in LNS were $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, Our foreign currency exposure from equity investments denominated in other foreign currencies was not material in the aggregate for the year ended December 31, When we refer to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, we are referring to the difference between the current period rates and the prior period rates applied to the current period activity. We manage our foreign currency exchange risks on a global basis by (1) securing payment from our customers in the functional currency of the selling subsidiary when possible, (2) entering into foreign currency exchange or other contracts to hedge the risk associated with certain firm sales commitments, net investments and certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and (3) netting asset and liability exposures denominated in similar foreign currencies to the extent possible. During 2012, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of the net investment in one of our subsidiaries that is denominated in Euros. These foreign currency forward contracts are described in Note 14 (Fair Value Measurements) to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance to clarify the intent of the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and amend certain requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to 44
46 non-financial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counter-party credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts in fair value measurement. Additionally, for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the new guidance clarifies that quantitative disclosure about unobservable inputs should be disclosed and requires a description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those inputs. We adopted the guidance on January 1, The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The guidance eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders' equity. Instead, an entity is required to present net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2012, resulting in a change in the presentation of comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. We adopted the new guidance on January 1, In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The guidance provides an entity with the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that this is the case, it is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit (if any). If an entity determines the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. We adopted the guidance on January 1, The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements. In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance provides an entity with the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of the asset with the carrying amount. We adopted the guidance on July 1, The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements. 45

Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011 Revenue Consolidated revenue reflected increases in each of our categories of revenue and the acquisition of Barcrest, which increased consolidated revenue by $26.9 million. Our instant ticket revenue reflected higher revenue from our U.S. and international POS and CSP contracts driven by increased retail sales, and also reflected higher revenue from our Properties Plus programs. These increases were primarily offset by a decrease in our licensed properties business revenue largely due to challenging year-over-year comparisons in light of the impact of the successful launch of a multi-state licensed game in 2011 and by lower revenue from our U.S. and international PPK contracts principally due to lower sales to LNS, timing of orders and contract revisions. The increase in service revenue reflected higher lottery systems service revenue due in part to larger Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots in 2012 and higher instant ticket validation revenue, as well as higher Gaming service revenue due to the acquisition of Barcrest and an increase in revenue from our U.K. LBO contracts. Our sales revenue reflected increased equipment sales to U.S. customers, higher hardware and software sales to our international customers and the acquisition of Barcrest. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 also reflected unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $8.9 million. 46
48 Cost of Revenue Consolidated cost of revenue increased in 2012 versus 2011 reflecting the increase in consolidated revenue for the same period. Cost of instant tickets remained consistent with total instant ticket revenue for the same period. The increase in cost of services and cost of sales in 2012 versus 2011 reflected the increase in service and sales revenue and an increase due to the impact of foreign currency translation of approximately $5.3 million. Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") The increase in SG&A reflected approximately $5.4 million of incremental expense from our business acquisitions, higher compensation expense of $5.8 million (including a $2.6 million increase in stock-based compensation expense), a $6.2 million increase in accounts receivable reserves related to certain gaming customers and higher expenses of $2.9 million related to the expansion of our U.K. LBO business. These increases were offset by a decrease of $7.1 million in our accrual for potential incentive compensation related to our Asia-Pacific Plan, a decrease of $5.9 million due to the impact of a customer claim recorded during the year ended December 31, 2011 and an insurance settlement recovered in 2012 related to that claim, and lower professional and advisory fees of $3.0 million. The overall increase in SG&A was also offset by a decrease of approximately $1.0 million due to the impact of foreign currency translation. Employee Termination and Restructuring Employee termination and restructuring costs of $11.5 million related to our exit from the Barcrest analog AWP business, the reorganization of our pub business in an effort to more effectively capitalize on the Barcrest acquisition and the reorganization of our Australian printing operations. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization increased principally due to $31.9 million of accelerated depreciation expense in our gaming business, including $12.5 million related to the write-down of gaming terminals and software in our pub business and $19.4 million related to a write-down of gaming terminals primarily related to customers transitioning to newer generation terminals. Depreciation and amortization also increased due to the $5.8 million impairment of certain long-lived assets related to underperforming contracts in our lottery systems business, $4.4 million of accelerated depreciation expense related to the write-down of certain development costs in our licensed properties business and $6.8 million of incremental depreciation expense from the acquisition of Barcrest. In addition, we recorded $3.4 million of accelerated depreciation expense related to the reorganization of our Australian printing operations. These increases were partially offset by a $6.4 million decrease due to accelerated depreciation expense recorded in 2011 related to the replacement of our Gaming business technology platform. Other Income and Expense Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decline in borrowing costs related to our variable interest rate debt and the expiration of our interest rate swap in October Earnings from equity investments decreased due to lower earnings from most of our equity method investments, partially offset by an increase in earnings from RCN. Loss on early extinguishment of debt increased due to the redemption of our 2016 Notes resulting in a charge of $15.5 million comprised primarily of the redemption premium and the write-off of previously deferred financing costs. Other expense increased principally due to increases in foreign exchange transaction expenses. Income Tax Expense Income tax expense was $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, The effective income tax rates for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were (30.5)% and 468.7%, respectively. The income tax expense in 2012 is primarily attributable to income tax expense in our foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for 2012 does not include the benefit of the current year U.S. tax loss as a result of the valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets. 47
49 Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010 Revenue The decrease in our consolidated revenue was principally due to the sale of the Racing Business, which generated $83.8 million in revenue in The decrease in consolidated revenue was offset by increases in each of our categories of revenue from our core businesses and the acquisition of Barcrest, which increased our consolidated revenue by $14.3 million. The increase in our instant ticket revenue reflected increased revenue from both our U.S. and international businesses driven by increases in retail sales and higher sales of licensed products, including a very successful multi-state game. The decrease in service revenue in 2011 included the impact of $76.0 million in service revenue related to the Racing Business. The decrease in our service revenue was partially offset by increases in our service revenue from international Lottery Systems, the expansion of our U.K. LBO business resulting in increased service revenue and the acquisition of Barcrest. The decrease in our sales revenue in 2011 included the impact of the sale of the Racing Business, resulting in a decrease of $7.8 million which was predominantly offset by increased sales resulting from the acquisition of Barcrest. Our consolidated revenue included a favorable impact of foreign currency translation of $12.0 million. Cost of Revenues Consolidated cost of revenues decreased in 2011 versus 2010 reflecting the decrease in consolidated revenue for the same period, as well as achievement of our cost reduction and efficiency efforts. Our cost of instant tickets increased 4% in 2011 versus 2010 compared to an increase in instant ticket revenue of 6% for the same period. Cost of services decreased 17% in 2011 versus 2010 compared to a decrease in service revenue of 9% for the same period. Cost of sales increased by 1% in 2011 versus 2010 compared to a 1% decrease in sales revenue for the same period. Cost of revenues increased approximately $7.5 million due to the impact of foreign currency translation. SG&A The increase in our SG&A reflected increased headcount and incentive compensation expense of $11.1 million relating to support of our strategic growth initiatives and an accrual of $4.3 million for potential compensation related to our Asia-Pacific Plan. The increase also reflected $9.9 million of higher acquisition-related due diligence and advisory fees and expenses related to a customer claim, increase in expense of $2.1 million resulting from the acquisition of Barcrest and an increase of $2.0 million to support expansion of China operations. We also incurred an increase in expense of $2.0 million to support the expansion of the U.K. LBO business, an increase in professional fees of $1.8 million during 2011 primarily related to our financing activities and the impact of foreign currency translation of $1.8 million. The increases were partially offset by lower expenses of $9.3 million due to the sale of the Racing Business, lower costs of $2.2 million as a result of the costs incurred in 2010 related to the Italian instant ticket concession tender that did not repeat and lower stockbased compensation expense of $1.3 million. SG&A also increased approximately $1.8 million due to the impact of foreign currency translation. Write-down of Assets Held for Sale The write-down of assets held for sale of $8.0 million included in the year ended December 31, 2010 was the result of valuing the held for sale assets of the Racing Business at fair market value less the estimated costs to sell prior to its sale on October 5, Employee Termination and Restructuring Costs Employee termination and restructuring costs in 2011 and 2010 were a result of our cost reduction initiatives related to Gaming's migration to a new back-end technology platform and the integration of Barcrest into the Gaming division. Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased in 2011 primarily due to the long-lived asset impairments of $17.5 million related to underperforming Lottery Systems contracts and obsolete equipment recorded in 2010 and accelerated depreciation expense from Gaming recorded in 2010 of $8.3 million on existing technology as we migrated to a new platform that did not recur to the same extent in Other Income and Expenses Interest expense increased from 2010 to 2011 primarily due to the issuance of our 8.125% senior subordinated notes due 2018 (the "2018 Notes") and the retirement of the 6.25% senior subordinated notes due 2012 in
50 Loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.2 million in 2011 was the result of the write-off of deferred financing fees related to the August 25, 2011 credit agreement amendment. Loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 was the result of the write-off of debtrelated costs related to the purchase of $187.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 2012 Notes and the prepayment of a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the term loan facilities under the Company's credit agreement. Earnings from equity investments for 2011 decreased from 2010, which was primarily related to a decline in earnings from our equity investment in LNS of $20.8 million. The Company's share of earnings from LNS is reported on an after-tax basis (it was previously reported on a pre-tax basis under the prior equity investment, Consorzio Lotterie Nazionali ("CLN")) and reflects the amortization of a portion of the upfront fees for the new concession, which together reduced our earnings from our equity investments by approximately $34.8 million. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in earnings from our equity investment in CSG of $4.9 million. In 2010, we incurred a loss on foreign currency forward contracts related to the Italian instant ticket concession tender of $12.6 million. The foreign currency forward contracts were settled in Income Tax Expense Income tax expense was $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $143.9 million for the year ended December 31, The effective income tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were 468.7% and (2,708.9)%, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a valuation allowance of $149.6 million against our U.S. deferred tax assets. The income tax expense in 2011 was primarily attributable to income tax expense in our foreign jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for 2011 does not include the benefit of the 2011 U.S. pre-tax loss as a result of the valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets. 49

Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011 Revenue The increase in instant ticket revenue reflected higher revenue of $30.6 million from our U.S. and international POS and CSP contracts driven by an increase in retail sales, including from our CSP agreement with Northstar, and the acquisition of Provoloto. Our instant ticket revenue also reflected an increase of $8.1 million from our Properties Plus programs. These increases were primarily offset by an $11.8 million decrease in revenue from our U.S. and international PPK contracts, primarily due to lower sales to LNS, the timing of orders and contract revisions and a $24.4 million decrease in revenue from our licensed properties business largely due to a challenging year-over-year comparison in light of the impact of our successful launch of a multi-state licensed game in Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 also reflected unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $2.2 million. Printed Products sales revenue primarily consists of phone card sales. Operating Income Operating income decreased primarily due to restructuring costs of $5.9 million and higher depreciation expense of $8.2 million comprised of $4.4 million of accelerated depreciation expense related to the write-down of certain development costs in our licensed properties business and $3.4 million of accelerated depreciation expense related to the reorganization of our Australian operations. These decreases in operating income were partially offset by lower SG&A of $3.7 million, which reflected the impact of a customer claim recorded during the year ended December 31, 2011 and an insurance settlement recovered in 2012 related to that claim. Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010 Revenue Analysis Instant ticket revenue reflected higher revenue of $17.1 million from U.S. customers primarily from our POS and CSP contracts, including our CSP agreement with Northstar, and sales of higher price-point games resulting in higher lottery retail sales. The growth in our U.S. instant ticket revenue in 2011 was also attributable to our successful introduction of our multi-state licensed game in the second quarter of
52 The increases in the U.S. were offset by lower U.S. PPK contract revenue primarily due to timing of orders as a result of contract revisions and increased competition where we are not the exclusive instant ticket supplier. Our international revenue increased $5.0 million primarily due to growth in revenue from our European CSP and POS contracts and higher price-point games, offset by a decrease in PPK contract revenue due in part to the loss of our Lotto West contract in Revenue also increased as a result of favorable foreign currency translation of approximately $6.0 million. Printed Products sales revenue primarily includes phone card sales. Operating Income Operating income increased in 2011 compared to 2010 due to a higher and more profitable mix of revenue offset by an increase in SG&A expenses primarily due to expenses related to a contract dispute.

Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011 Revenue The increase in Lottery Systems service revenue reflected higher revenue of $13.0 million from U.S. customers primarily due to larger Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots and higher instant ticket validation revenue. These increases were partially offset by a decline in service revenue from international customers of $6.5 million primarily due to a decrease in instant ticket validation revenue from the CSL. Service revenue also reflected an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of approximately $2.7 million. The increase in Lottery Systems sales revenue reflected higher equipment sales of $8.2 million to U.S. customers and higher hardware and software sales of $18.8 million to international customers. The increase in Lottery Systems sales revenue was partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $1.6 million. Operating Income Operating income reflected higher revenue offset by long-lived asset impairments of $5.8 million related to underperforming Lottery Systems contracts in the U.S. and an increase in SG&A of $2.7 million, largely reflecting higher compensation expense in 2012 and the favorable resolution of a legal matter during
53 Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010 Revenue Analysis The increase in Lottery Systems service revenue reflected approximately $4.9 million of increased revenue from international customers and service revenue from U.S. customers that was flat year over year. In the U.S., instant ticket validation service revenue increased, offset by the loss of contracts in New Hampshire and Vermont which both ended on June 30, The increase in international revenue reflected higher instant ticket validation revenues from the CSL of $2.5 million and an increase in service revenue of $2.5 million from other international customers. Revenue also increased approximately $1.7 million as a result of favorable foreign currency translation. Lottery Systems sales revenue was flat in 2011 compared to Operating Income Operating income increased primarily due to the $18.1 million of lower depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the long-lived asset impairments recorded in 2010 that did not repeat in GAMING (in thousands) Variance (in millions) vs vs 2010 Revenue: Instant tickets $ $ $ $ % $ % Services 142, , , % (37.8) (23)% Sales 21,025 7,554 8, % (0.9) (11)% Total Revenue 163, , , % (38.7) (22)% Operating expenses: Cost of instant tickets (1) % % Cost of services (1) 67,190 62, , % (39.4) (39)% Cost of sales (1) 17,209 7,278 5, % % Selling, general and administrative expenses 31,659 16,408 20, % (4.1) (20)% Write-down of assets held for sale 8,029 % (8.0) (100)% Employee termination and restructuring costs 5,650 1, % % Depreciation and amortization 77,345 38,435 42, % (4.5) (11)% Operating (loss) income (35,296) $ 6,978 $ (7,089) $ (42.3) (606)% 14.1 (198)% (1) Exclusive of depreciation and amortization. Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011 Revenue The increase in Gaming service revenue included $13.4 million from the acquisition of Barcrest. In addition, service revenue from our U.K. LBO customers increased $17.7 million due to an expanded terminal base and higher gross win per terminal per day. These increases were partially offset by the loss of the William Hill contract, $8.2 million of revenue that did not recur primarily due to the closing of the Austrian over-the-counter business in 2011 and unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $2.4 million. The increase in sales revenue of $13.5 million reflected the acquisition of Barcrest. Operating Income Operating income decreased in part due to higher SG&A of $15.3 million including $4.3 million of incremental overhead expense from the acquisition of Barcrest, an increase in accounts receivable reserves of $6.2 million and increased 52
54 expenses of $2.9 million related to the expansion of our U.K. LBO business. Employee termination and restructuring costs increased $3.7 million related to the reorganization of our Gaming business. The decrease in operating income also reflected an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $38.9 million, including $12.5 million related to the write-down of gaming terminals and software in our pub business, $19.4 million due to write-downs of gaming terminals primarily related to customers transitioning to newer generation terminals, $6.7 million of higher depreciation expense related to growth in the Gaming business and incremental depreciation expense of $6.8 million from the acquisition of Barcrest. The increases in depreciation expense were partially offset by $6.4 million of accelerated depreciation expense recorded in 2011 related to the replacement of our Gaming business technology platform. These decreases in operating income were partially offset by higher revenue. Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010 Revenue Analysis The decrease in service revenue was primarily due to the sale of the Racing Business, resulting in a decrease of $76.0 million. The decrease was partially offset by increased revenue of $29.6 million primarily from the expansion of our LBO terminal base, higher gross win per terminal, $6.9 million from the acquisition of Barcrest on September 23, 2011 and higher revenue of $3.2 million due to favorable foreign currency translation. Sales revenue was lower due to a decrease of $7.8 million from the sale of the Racing Business, partially offset by terminal sales to Barcrest customers. Operating Income Operating income increased in part due to the sale of the Racing Business resulting in a more profitable mix of revenue and a decrease in SG&A costs of $9.3 million. The decrease in SG&A was partially offset by an increase of $4.1 million primarily due to the acquisition of Barcrest and expansion of the LBO business during Employee termination costs increased in 2011 primarily related to Gaming's migration to a new back-end technology platform and the integration of Barcrest. The write-down of assets held for sale of $8.0 million recorded in 2010 was the result of valuing the held for sale assets of the Racing Business prior to its sale on October 5, Depreciation expense decreased due in part to the accelerated depreciation and amortization expense in 2010 and impairments of long-lived assets in 2010 related to obsolete equipment. Critical Accounting Policies The SEC defines "critical accounting policies" as those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. The following is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 (Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to our Consolidated Financial Statements. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U.S. GAAP, with no need for management's judgment in their application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting an available alternative would not produce a materially different result. Revenue recognition We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. As described below, the determination of when to recognize revenue for certain revenue transactions requires judgment. Revenue from licensing branded property coupled with a service component whereby we purchase and distribute merchandise prizes on behalf of lottery authorities to identified winners is recognized as a multiple deliverable arrangement. There are typically two deliverables in the arrangement, the license and the merchandising services, which are separate units of accounting. We allocate revenue to the deliverables based on their relative selling prices. Revenue allocated to the license is recognized when the use of the licensed property is permitted, typically when the contract is signed. Revenue allocated to the merchandising services is recognized on a proportional performance method as this method best reflects the pattern in which the obligations of the merchandising services to the customer are fulfilled. A performance measure is used based on total estimated cost allocated to the merchandising services. By accumulating costs for services as they are incurred, and dividing such costs by the total costs of merchandising services (which is estimated based on a budget prior to contract inception), a percentage is determined. The percentage determined is applied to the revenue allocated to the merchandising services and that proportionate amount of revenue is recognized on a monthly basis. Revenue from the sale of lottery systems that require the production and delivery of terminals and customized software is recognized using the cost-tocost measure of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The percentage- 53
55 of-completion method recognizes income as work on a contract progresses. The use of the percentage-of-completion method depends on our ability to make reasonably dependable cost estimates for the design, manufacture, and delivery of our products. Estimation of these costs requires the use of judgment. Revenue under percentage-of-completion contracts is recorded as costs are incurred. Stock-based compensation We measure compensation cost for stock-based awards at fair value and recognize compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock and the fair value of stock options are determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment and, to the extent actual results or updated estimates differs from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results and future changes in estimates may differ substantially from our current estimates. We may grant certain stock-based awards that are contingent upon the Company achieving certain financial performance targets. Upon determining the performance target is probable, the fair value of the award is recognized over the service period, subject to potential adjustment. Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. We assess the impairment of goodwill annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review for our long-lived and intangible assets or goodwill include: significant underperformance relative to expected historical performance or projected future operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy of our overall business; significant adverse change in the legality of our business ventures or the business climate in which we operate; and loss of a significant customer. Long-lived and intangible assets Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the expected net future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by that asset or, for identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, by determining whether the amortization of the intangible asset balance over its remaining life can be recovered through expected net future undiscounted cash flows. The amount of impairment of other long-lived assets is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair market value, less expected costs to sell. Goodwill We evaluate goodwill for impairment by comparing the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value using a quantitative two-step impairment test. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. In the event that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the amount of the impairment loss will be measured by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. To determine the fair value of each of our reporting units, we applied a number of methodologies consistent with our prior-year approach, including the income approach based on a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis and the market approach using implied public and private multiples. Specifically, we applied multiples where comparable companies publicly trade and relevant historical acquisition transactions. In arriving at a valuation of our reporting units, we weighted each of these methodologies equally. Our DCF analysis is based on the present value of two components: the sum of our projected cash flows and a terminal value assuming a perpetual growth rate of 2%. The cash flow estimates are derived from our budget and long-term forecasts prepared for each reporting unit, considering historical results and anticipated future performance. The discount rates used to determine the present value of future cash flows were derived from a weighted average cost of capital analysis ( WACC ) utilizing a beta that is derived from the same group of comparable companies used in our multiple analysis. In addition, we gave consideration in the calculation of the WACC for the size and specific industry risks of each of our reporting units. The discount rate used for each reporting unit ranged from 10% to 12% for 2012 and 12% to 13% for
56 Due to changes in our management authority structure in 2012, we changed the designation of our Chief Operating Decision Maker ( CODM ) as defined under Accounting Standards Codification 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ( ASC 350 ). As a result, we determined that we have seven operating segments based on the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM, which we also determined represent our reporting units as defined under ASC 350. We considered whether additional reporting units exist within an operating segment based on the availability of discrete financial information that is regularly reviewed by segment management, and determined that our seven operating segments equate to our seven reporting units. Our seven reporting units are: Printed Products; Licensed Properties; U.S. Lottery Systems; International Lottery Systems; China Lottery; Video Systems; and Gaming. Previously we had three operating segments and reporting units as of December 31, 2011 and therefore the identification of seven reporting units required the reallocation of the goodwill balance to each reporting unit based on a relative fair value approach in accordance with ASC 350. Our goodwill totaled $801.1 million and $768.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The allocation of goodwill to each reporting unit as of December 31, 2012 is as follows (in millions): Reporting Unit Printed Products Licensed Properties U.S. Lottery Systems International Lottery Systems China Lottery Video Systems Gaming Total Goodwill $ $ 21.2 $ 67.6 $ 59.1 $ 64.4 $ 19.7 $ $ Our annual impairment valuation as of December 31, 2012 produced estimated fair values of equity for all of our reporting units under our old and new structures in excess of the carrying value of equity for all of our reporting units. The estimated fair values of equity for each of our Printed Products, Licensed Properties, International Lottery Systems, China Lottery and Video Systems reporting units were substantially in excess of the carrying value of such reporting unit. Although the estimated fair value of equity for our U.S. Lottery and Gaming reporting units were in excess of the respective carrying value, to illustrate the sensitivity of these reporting units, a decrease in the fair value of equity of more than 25% for our U.S. Lottery Systems or more than 20% for our Gaming reporting unit could potentially result in an impairment of goodwill. The estimate of a reporting unit's fair value requires the use of several assumptions and estimates regarding the reporting unit's future cash flows, growth rates, market comparables and weighted average cost of capital, among others. Significant judgment is required in the forecasting of future operating results, which are used in the preparation of projected cash flows. Any significant adverse changes in key assumptions about these businesses and their prospects such as changes in our strategy or products, the loss of key customers, regulatory licensing or adverse changes in economic and market conditions may cause a change in the estimation of fair value valuation of our reporting units and could result in an impairment charge that could be material to our financial statements. Income Taxes and Deferred Income Taxes Income taxes are determined using the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company's tax expense includes the U.S. and international income taxes but excludes the provision for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries deemed to be permanently invested. The Company applies a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which realization is not likely. At December 31, 2012, the Company had a valuation allowance of $241.2 million recorded against the benefit of certain deferred tax assets of foreign and U.S. subsidiaries. The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and in the normal course of business is examined in various jurisdictions. The reversal of the accruals is recorded when examinations are completed, statutes of limitation are closed or tax laws are changed. Changes in tax laws and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and our effective tax rate in the future. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the "Act ) was signed into law on January 2, Because a change in tax law is accounted for in the period of enactment, the provisions of the Act that are expected to impact the Company's 2012 U.S tax return (e.g., the research and experimentation credit) cannot be recognized in the Company's 2012 financial statements and instead will be reflected in the Company's 2013 financial statements. Because the Company has recorded a valuation allowance 55
57 against the benefit of its U.S net deferred tax assets, we do not expect the provisions of the Act to have a material impact on the Company's 2013 financial statements. LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL SOURCES AND WORKING CAPITAL Sources of Liquidity At December 31, 2012, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our revolving credit facility discussed below under " Credit Agreement and Other Debt." At December 31, 2012, our available cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity totaled $315.2 million (including cash and cash equivalents of $109.0 million and availability of $206.2 million under the revolving credit facility) compared to $296.1 million at December 31, 2011 (including cash and cash equivalents of $104.4 million and availability of $191.7 million under the revolving credit facility). There were no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. However, at December 31, 2012, we had $43.8 million in outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. The amount of our available cash and cash equivalents fluctuates principally based on borrowings or repayments under our credit facilities, investments, acquisitions and changes in our working capital position. Our borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility will depend on outstanding borrowings and letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility and will depend on our remaining in compliance with the limitations imposed by our credit agreement, including the maintenance of our financial ratios and other covenants. We were in compliance with the covenants under our credit agreement as of December 31, We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future (excluding the pending WMS transaction, which will require new financing as contemplated by the commitment letter we have entered into in connection with such transaction); however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. We believe that substantially all cash held outside the U.S. is free from legal encumbrances or similar restrictions that would prevent it from being available to meet the Company's global liquidity needs. The Company's intention is to reinvest undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and current plans do not indicate a need to repatriate earnings of foreign subsidiaries to fund operations in the U.S. Total cash held by our foreign subsidiaries was $82.8 million as of December 31, To the extent that a portion of our foreign cash were required to meet liquidity needs in the U.S., we might incur a tax liability, the timing and amount of which would depend on a variety of factors. A significant amount of the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 could be transferred to the U.S. as repayments of intercompany loans and we have significant foreign tax credit carryovers that would be available to reduce any potential U.S. tax liability. Our contracts are periodically subject to renewal and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in sustaining our cash flow from operations if our existing contracts are not renewed or are renewed on less favorable terms, or if we are unable to enter into additional contracts. In addition, lottery customers in the United States generally require service providers to provide performance bonds in connection with each lottery contract. As of December 31, 2012, we had arranged for the issuance of a total of $209.8 million of surety bonds in respect of outstanding contracts to which we and/or our subsidiaries are parties. We have reimbursement or indemnification obligations with respect to these bonds in the event that the sureties are required to make payment and, in some cases, such bonds are supported by springing liens, solely on those assets related to the performance of the relevant contractual obligations, that may attach in certain circumstances. Our ability to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms is subject to the Company's financial condition and by prevailing market conditions, which may be impacted by economic and political events. Although we have not experienced difficulty in obtaining such bonds to date, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we need to refinance all or part of our indebtedness, on or before maturity, or provide letters of credit or cash in lieu of performance bonds, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain new financing or to refinance any of our indebtedness, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. 56
58 Cash Flow Summary A Three Year Comparative Years Ended December 31, vs vs 2010 Net cash provided by operating activities $ $ $ $ (14.3) $ 0.5 Net cash used in investing activities (141.8) (161.1) (287.6) Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities (10.1) (24.6) (9.8) 14.5 (14.8) Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents (0.2) (5.2) (9.0) Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ 4.7 $ (19.8) $ (135.8) $ 24.5 $ Cash flows from operating activities The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in 2012 was primarily due to a change of approximately $45.1 million of cash used for working capital predominantly due to timing of payments and the start up of a large customer contract in The decrease was partially offset by our net loss adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, and early extinguishment of debt which resulted in higher cash earnings in 2012 compared to Cash flows from operating activities also decreased due to lower distributions of earnings of approximately $2.9 million in 2012 compared to Cash flow from operating activities in 2011 was relatively consistent with levels in 2010 as working capital and net loss exclusive of non-cash charges were consistent between years. Cash flows from investing activities The decrease in net cash used in investing activities in 2012 was primarily due to a decrease of $28.1 million of cash used for business acquisitions, a decrease in cash used to invest in our equity method investees of $37.2 million and an increase in distributions of capital from our equity investments of $7.1 million. These decreases were partially offset by increased capital expenditures of $3.6 million, increased wagering system expenditures, including software and intangible expenditures of $15.8 million, primarily due to increased contract capital requirements for our lottery and gaming systems, and an increase in our restricted cash balance of $28.6 million related to our participation in the consortium that was declared the provisional successful bidder for the concession to manage instant ticket lotteries in Greece. Net cash used in investing activities decreased in Capital expenditures totaled $8.6 million in 2011 compared to $9.4 million in Wagering system expenditures, including software and intangible expenditures totaled $83.3 million in 2011, compared to $99.3 million in 2010, primarily due to decreased contract capital requirements for our lottery and gaming systems in 2011 compared to Our net cash used for equity investments decreased due to our cash investment in LNS of $203.2 million compared to our 2011 cash investments in Northstar and ITL totaling $12.0 million and $23.8 million, respectively. We also received return of capital payments totaling $17.8 million from LNS during We acquired Barcrest on September 23, 2011 for approximately $48.4 million and we received cash proceeds of $35.9 million from the sale of the Racing Business on October 5, Cash flows from financing activities Net cash provided by financing activities increased in 2012 compared to 2011 as a result of an increase in net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and a reduction in payments on long-term debt of $84.5 million. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was offset by share repurchases of $68.5 million and a $2.1 million increase in cash used to satisfy withholding taxes associated with the vesting of restricted stock units. Net cash used in financing activities in 2011 reflected repayments under the credit agreement discussed below and fees associated with amendments to the credit agreement. Credit Agreement and Other Debt As of December 31, 2012, our total debt was comprised principally of $559.7 million outstanding under our term loan facilities under the credit agreement discussed below, $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 8.125% senior subordinated notes due 2018 (the 2018 Notes ), $345.9 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior subordinated notes due 2019 of Scientific Games International, Inc. ( SGI ) (the 2019 Notes ), $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of SGI's 6.250% senior subordinated notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes ) and loans denominated in Chinese 57
59 Renminbi Yuan ( RMB ) totaling RMB 78.0 million (the "China Loans"). On September 19, 2012, SGI redeemed all $200.0 million outstanding 7.875% senior subordinated notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes") at a redemption price equal to % of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Credit Agreement We are party to a credit agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008, as amended and restated as of February 12, 2010, and amended as of December 16, 2010, March 11, 2011 and as further amended and restated as of August 25, 2011 (as so amended, the Credit Agreement ), among SGI, as borrower, the Company, as a guarantor, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ( JPMorgan ), as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility and senior secured term loan credit facilities under which $559.7 million of term loan borrowings were outstanding as of December 31, Amounts under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed by SGI from time to time until maturity. Voluntary prepayments and commitment reductions under the Credit Agreement are permitted at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than break-funding costs), upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. Pursuant to the amendment to the Credit Agreement entered into in August 2011, the scheduled maturity date of a majority of the revolving credit facility commitments and the outstanding term loan was extended from June 9, 2013 to June 30, In February 2012, we refinanced the $16.4 million of the revolving credit facility and term loan commitments that were not extended in connection with the amendment to the Credit Agreement entered into in August 2011, and extended the maturity dates of these commitments also to June 30, The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including negative covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions or certain other restricted payments, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or extend credit, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, consummate certain asset sales, effect a consolidation or merger, sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, prepay or modify certain indebtedness, or create certain liens and other encumbrances on assets. A summary of the terms of the Credit Agreement, including the applicable financial ratios that the Company is required to maintain under the terms of the Credit Agreement, is included in Note 13 (Long-term and Other Debt) to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

SGI may redeem some or all of the 2019 Notes for cash at any time on or after June 15, 2014 at the prices specified in the 2019 Notes Indenture Notes On August 20, 2012, SGI issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.250% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes ) at a price of 100% of the principal amount thereof in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act ), and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2020 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of August 20, 2012 (the 2020 Notes Indenture ). In February 2013, SGI completed an exchange offer in which all of the unregistered 2020 Notes were exchanged for a like amount of 2020 Notes that have been registered under the Securities Act. The 2020 Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.250% per annum, which accrues from August 20, 2012 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on March 1, The 2020 Notes mature on September 1, 2020, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2020 Notes Indenture. In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes, the Company capitalized financing costs of $6.2 million. SGI may redeem some or all of the 2020 Notes at any time prior to September 1, 2015 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption plus a ''make-whole'' premium. SGI may redeem some or all of the 2020 Notes at any time on or after September 1, 2015 at the prices specified in the 2020 Notes Indenture. In addition, at any time prior to September 1, 2015, SGI may redeem up to 35% of the initially outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes at a redemption price of % of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, with the net cash proceeds contributed to the capital of SGI from one or more equity offerings of the Company Notes On September 19, 2012, SGI redeemed all of our $200.0 million outstanding 2016 Notes at a redemption price equal to % of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. Bondholders received payment in full consisting of principal in the amount of $200.0 million, redemptive premium of $7.9 million and accrued interest of $4.1 million. In connection with the redemption, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $15.5 million comprised primarily of the redemption premium and the write-off of previously deferred financing costs. Other Debt In the first quarter of 2012, we repaid RMB 12.5 million in principal amount of a China loan and the outstanding letter of credit in support of this debt was reduced by $1.0 million. In the second quarter of 2012, we repaid the remaining RMB million in principal amount of this China loan and the outstanding letter of credit of $28.2 million in support of this debt was returned. In May 2012, we entered into a new RMB 60.0 million lending facility with a Chinese bank under which we have borrowed RMB 28.0 million as of December 31, The facility requires graduated semi-annual principal payments through November In June 2012, we entered into a one-year RMB 50.0 million term loan with another Chinese bank. A letter of credit in the amount of $6.5 million was issued to support this term loan. Commitment Letter In connection with the pending merger with WMS, the Company and SGI entered into a commitment letter pursuant to which the lenders party thereto have agreed to provide the Debt Commitment Financing. The Debt Commitment Financing is anticipated to consist of a senior secured first-lien term loan facility in a total principal amount of $2,300 million and a senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility in a total principal amount of $300.0 million. The funding of the Debt Commitment Financing is contingent on the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the commitment letter. Contractual Obligations Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments principally include obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness, contractual purchase obligations and future minimum operating lease obligations and other long-term liabilities as set forth in the table below as of December 31, 2012: 59

(2) Based on rates in effect at December 31, (3) Includes, among other contractual obligations, estimated obligations and/or capital commitments in connection with our lottery and gaming contracts. (4) See Note 12 (Leases) to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding our operating leases. (5) Includes certain other long term liabilities reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 and our current liability related to our licensed properties business license obligation as of December 31, We have excluded approximately $19.5 million of long-term pension plan and other post retirement liabilities, deferred compensation liabilities of approximately $3.1 million and liability for uncertain tax positions of $2.2 million at December 31, Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of potential future cash flows associated with these liabilities, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid. Periodically, we bid on new lottery systems contracts. Once awarded, these contracts generally require significant upfront capital expenditures for terminal assembly, customization of software, software and equipment installation and telecommunications configuration. Historically, we have funded these upfront costs through cash flows generated from operations, available cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facilities. Our ability to continue to commit to new contracts will depend on, among other things, our then present liquidity levels and/or our ability to borrow at commercially acceptable rates in order to finance the upfront costs. The actual level of capital expenditures will ultimately largely depend on the extent to which we are successful in winning new contracts. Periodically, we elect to upgrade the technological capabilities of older terminals and replace terminals that have exhausted their useful lives. Servicing our installed terminal base requires us to maintain a supply of parts and accessories on hand. We are also required, contractually in some cases, to provide spare parts over an extended period of time, principally in connection with our systems and terminal sale transactions. To meet our contractual obligations and maintain sufficient levels of on-hand inventory to service our installed terminal base, we purchase inventory on an as-needed basis. We presently have no inventory purchase obligations other than in the ordinary course of business. Under the terms of its PMA with the State of Illinois, Northstar is entitled to receive annual incentive compensation payments to the extent it is successful in increasing the Illinois lottery's net income (as defined in the PMA) above specified target levels, subject to a cap of 5% of the applicable year's net income. Northstar will be responsible for payments to the State to the extent such targets are not achieved, subject to a similar cap. We may be required to make capital contributions to Northstar to fund our pro rata share ( i.e., based on our percentage interest in Northstar) of any shortfall payments that may be owed by Northstar to the State under the PMA. Northstar is expected to be reimbursed on a monthly basis for most of its operating expenses under the PMA, although certain expenses of Northstar associated with managing the lottery are not reimbursable. 60
62 In December 2010, the Company adopted the Asia-Pacific Plan. The purpose of the Asia-Pacific Plan is to provide an equitable and competitive compensation opportunity to certain key employees and consultants of the Company who are involved in the Company's business in China (and potentially other jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region) (the "Asia-Pacific Business") and to promote the creation of long-term value for the Company's stockholders by directly linking Asia-Pacific Plan participants' compensation under the plan to the appreciation in value of such business. Each participant will be eligible to receive a cash payment following the end of 2014 equal to a pre-determined share of an Asia-Pacific Business incentive compensation pool. The incentive compensation pool will equal a certain percentage of the growth in the value of the Asia-Pacific Business over four years, calculated in the manner provided under the Asia-Pacific Plan and subject to a cap of (1) $35 million, in the event an Asia-Pacific Business liquidity event does not occur by December 31, 2014 or (2) $50 million, in the event an Asia-Pacific Business liquidity event occurs by December 31, An "Asia-Pacific Business liquidity event" means an initial public offering of at least 20% of the Asia-Pacific Business or a strategic investment by a third-party to acquire at least 20% of the Asia-Pacific Business, in each case, that is approved by the Company. Our accrual recorded in other long-term liabilities related to the Asia-Pacific Plan was $1.9 million and $4.3 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. On December 12, 2012, the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund provisionally awarded the consortium in which we own a 16.5% equity interest a 12-year concession for the exclusive rights to the production, operation and management of instant ticket lotteries in Greece. The consortium is principally comprised of OPAP S.A., Scientific Games and Intralot. Operations under the new concession are subject to various regulatory approvals and Greek parliamentary approval. Pursuant to our agreement with the consortium, we expect to serve as the exclusive supplier of instant tickets over the term of the concession. If the award is approved, the consortium will pay an upfront payment of 190 million, of which our portion will be 31.4 million, and will be responsible for a monthly fee to the lotteries based on a percentage of gross gaming revenue. As of December 31, 2012, our restricted cash balance includes approximately $29.1 million which will be used to partially fund our portion of the upfront payment upon completion of the approval process. We expect that we would also be responsible for our pro rata share of the consortium's working capital and other capital that may be required in connection with our expected instant ticket contract with the consortium. In December 2012, we formed Northstar New Jersey with GTECH and OMERS to bid to be the private manager for the New Jersey Lottery for a 15- year term. We have entered into an operating agreement for the formation of Northstar New Jersey Lottery Group, LLC, the entity that we will form with GTECH and OMERS if Northstar New Jersey is selected as the private manager and which will be obligated to pay an upfront fee of $120.0 million to the State of New Jersey upon execution of the private management agreement. Pursuant to our agreement with GTECH and OMERS we will own a 17.69% equity interest in Northstar New Jersey Lottery Group, LLC and will therefore be responsible for approximately $21.2 million, 17.69% of the upfront fee paid to the State. We expect that we would also be responsible for our pro rata share of working capital and other capital requirements of Northstar New Jersey. On January 30, 2013, we entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which we agreed to acquire WMS for approximately $1.5 billion, plus amounts required to repay the borrowings under our and WMS' existing credit facilities at closing (as of December 31, 2012, $559.7 million was outstanding under our senior secured term loan credit facility and $85.0 million was outstanding under WMS' revolving credit facility). The closing of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval of the merger by WMS stockholders and other approvals by various authorities. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of The merger agreement also contains certain termination rights for both Scientific Games and WMS and further provides that, in connection with termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, (i) we may be required to pay to WMS a termination fee of $100 million if all the conditions to closing the merger have been met and the merger is not consummated because of a breach by our lenders of their obligations to finance the transaction and (ii) we may be required to pay to WMS a termination fee of $80 million if we are unable to obtain the gaming approvals that are conditions to closing the merger prior to the termination date. For further details regarding the merger, see Note 23 (Subsequent Events) to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the full text of the merger agreement, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Our products and services are sold to a diverse group of customers throughout the world. As such, we are subject to certain risks and uncertainties as a result of changes in general economic conditions, sources of supply, competition, foreign exchange rates, tax reform, litigation and regulatory developments. (See "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more complete description of these risks and uncertainties.) The diversity and breadth of our products and geographic operations mitigate the risk that adverse changes from any single event would materially affect our financial position. 61
63 Additionally, as a result of the diversity of our customer base, we do not consider ourselves exposed to a concentration of credit risks. These risks are further minimized by setting credit limits where appropriate, ongoing monitoring of customer account balances and assessment of the customers' financial strengths. Inflation has not had an abnormal or unanticipated effect on our operations. Inflationary pressures would be significant to our business if raw materials used for instant lottery ticket production or terminal manufacturing are significantly affected. Available supply from the paper and electronics industries tends to fluctuate and prices may be affected by supply. For fiscal year 2012, inflation was not a significant factor in our results of operations, and we were not impacted by significant pricing changes in our costs. We are unable to forecast the prices or supply of substrate, component parts or other raw materials in 2013, but we currently do not anticipate any substantial changes that will materially affect our operating results. In certain limited cases, our lottery contracts with our customers contain provisions to adjust for inflation on an annual basis, but we cannot be assured that this adjustment would cover raw material price increases or other costs of services. Although we have long-term and generally satisfactory relationships with most of our suppliers, we also believe alternative sources to meet our raw material and production needs are available. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and debt and equity market risks as we seek debt and equity capital to sustain our operations. All of our interest rate sensitive financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading purposes. At December 31, 2012, approximately 62% of our debt was in fixed-rate instruments. The table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital" in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about our financial instruments. 62
64 Principal Amount by Expected Maturity Average Interest Rate December 31, 2012 (Dollars in thousands) Twelve Months Ended December Thereafter Total FMV Debt at fixed interest rates $10,178 $ 2,444 $ 13 $ 3 $ $ 900,000 $912,638 $986,763 Weighted-average interest rates 7.2% 7.2% 5.8% 5.8% % 7.9% 7.9% % Debt at variable interest rates $ 6,280 $ 6,280 $ 547,170 $ $ $ $559,730 $ 559,730 Weighted-average interest rates 3.2% 3.2% 3.2% % % % 3.2% % We are also exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. Assets and liabilities outside the United States are primarily located in Austria, Chile, China, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Canada, China, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Our investments in foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are generally considered long-term investments. In addition, a significant portion of the cost attributable to our international operations is incurred in local currencies. Although we provide technology-based products, systems and services to gaming industries worldwide, some of our transactions and their resulting financial impact are transacted in U.S. dollars. The foreign currencies to which we have the most exposure are the Euro and the British Pound Sterling, representing approximately 16% and 59%, respectively, of our non-u.s dollar revenues in Historically, our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations has been more significant with respect to revenues than expenses, as a significant portion of our expenses, such as paper and ink, are contracted for in U.S. dollars. At December 31, 2012, a hypothetical 10% strengthening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and the British Pound Sterling would result in a decrease in revenue of approximately $5.9 million and $22.3 million, respectively, and a decrease in operating income of approximately $1.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. We also have foreign currency exposure related to certain of our equity investments. Our earnings from our Eurodenominated equity investment in LNS were $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, Our foreign currency exposure from equity investments denominated in other foreign currencies was not material in the aggregate for the year ended December 31, We manage our foreign currency exchange risks on a global basis by (1) securing payment from our customers in the functional currency of the selling subsidiary when possible, (2) entering into foreign currency exchange or other contracts to hedge the risk associated with certain firm sales commitments, net investments and certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and (3) netting asset and liability exposures denominated in similar foreign currencies to the extent possible. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts for the sale of Euros for U.S. dollars to hedge a portion of the net investment in one of our subsidiaries that is denominated in Euros. Some of these foreign currency forward contracts settled in As of December 31, 2012, we had foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of 20.0 million and a weighted-average exchange rate of approximately that are scheduled to settle in May We did not have any derivative instruments as of December 31, Our cash and cash equivalents and investments are in a variety of governmental or institutional securities with high credit ratings. The investment policy limits our exposure to concentration of credit risks. We believe that the impact of a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not be material to our investment income and interest expense from bank loans. ITEM 8.

65 ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 64
66 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Scientific Games Corporation We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Scientific Games Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 of the Company and our report dated March 12, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audit and the report of other auditors. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Atlanta, Georgia March 12,

73 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Scientific Games Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Scientific Games Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l. ("LNS"), the Company's investment which is accounted for by use of the equity method (see note 10 to the consolidated financial statements), as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and We also did not audit the financial statements of Consorzio Lotterie Nazionali ("CLN"), the Company's investment which is accounted for by use of the equity method (see note 10 to the consolidated financial statements), as of December 31, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, The Company's equity in income of LNS was $17,948 and $18,623 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company's equity in income of CLN was $35,236 for the year ended December 31, Those statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for LNS and CLN, on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, for the three years ended December 31, 2012, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We have applied auditing procedures to the adjustments to reflect equity in net income of LNS and CLN in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Scientific Games Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

81 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except per share amounts) (1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies When used in these notes, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise indicates, all references to the words "Scientific Games," "we," "us," "our," and the "Company" refer to Scientific Games Corporation and all entities included in our consolidated financial statements. Description of the Business We are a leader in providing customized, end-to-end gaming solutions to lottery and gaming organizations worldwide. Our integrated array of products and services includes instant lottery games, lottery gaming systems, terminals and services, and internet applications, as well as server-based interactive gaming terminals and associated gaming control systems. We also gain access to technology and pursue global expansion through strategic acquisitions and equity investments. We report our operations in three business segments: Printed Products; Lottery Systems; and Gaming. Printed Products Printed Products is primarily comprised of our global instant lottery ticket business. We generate revenue from the manufacturing and sale of instant lottery tickets, as well as the provision of value-added services such as game design, sales and marketing support, specialty games and promotions, inventory management and warehousing and fulfillment services. We also provide lotteries with fully integrated instant ticket product management services under our cooperative services programs ("CSPs") as a means to increase profits of the lottery. In addition, we offer licensed games, promotional entertainment and internet-based services to our lottery customers. Lottery Systems We are a leading provider of customized computer software, software support, equipment and data communication services to lotteries. Our product offering includes the provision of transaction processing software for the accounting and validation of both instant and online lottery games, point-of-sale terminals, central site computers, communications technology, and ongoing support and maintenance for these products. Central computer systems, terminals and associated software are typically provided in the U.S. through contracts under which we deploy and operate the system on behalf of the lottery and internationally through outright sales, which often include a service and maintenance component in our contracts. In addition, we are the exclusive instant ticket validation network provider to the China Sports Lottery. Gaming We are a leading supplier of server-based gaming terminals and systems and game content primarily to bookmakers that operate licensed betting offices ("LBOs") in the U.K. and to gaming operators outside the U.K. We also supply gaming terminals, systems and game content to pubs, bingo halls and arcades in the U.K. and continental Europe. We provide many of our Gaming customers with a turnkey offering, which typically includes gaming terminals, remote management of game content and management information, central computer systems, secure data communication and field support services. We develop our own game content and supplement our offering with content from third parties. We also provide interactive gaming products and services including development and marketing of digital content, products, services and end-to-end solutions that address interactive, social, casual and mobile gaming opportunities. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company's accounts and subsidiaries that are wholly owned and in which we have a controlling financial interest. Investments in other entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest but we exert significant influence are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. 78
82 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Revenue Recognition We derive our revenue from three sources: instant lottery tickets, services, and sales. Our instant lottery ticket business consists of long-term contracts to supply instant lottery tickets and provide related services to our lottery customers. We offer our customers a number of related, value-added services as part of an integrated product offering. These services include game design, determination of prize structure, game programming, warehousing and distribution of tickets and rights to use licensed products. We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, prices are fixed or determinable, services and products are provided to the customer and collectability is probable or reasonably assured depending on the applicable revenue recognition guidance followed. In addition to the general policy discussed above, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies for our reportable segments: Printed Products Revenue from the sale of instant lottery tickets that are sold on a price per thousand units ("PPK") basis is recognized when the customer accepts the product pursuant to the terms of the contract. Revenue from the sale of instant lottery tickets that are sold on a percentage of retail sales ("POS") basis (including under our CSP contracts) is recognized when retail sales are generated. Revenue from licensing branded property coupled with a service component whereby we purchase and distribute merchandise prizes on behalf of lottery authorities to identified winners is recognized as a multiple deliverable arrangement. There are typically two deliverables in this arrangement, the license and the merchandising services, which are separate units of accounting. We allocate revenue to the deliverables based on their relative selling prices. Revenue allocated to the license is recognized when the use of the licensed property is permitted, which is typically when the contract is signed. Revenue allocated to the merchandising services is recognized on a proportional performance method as this method best reflects the pattern in which the obligations of the merchandising services to the customer are fulfilled. A performance measure is used based on total estimated cost allocated to the merchandising services. By accumulating costs for services as they are incurred, and dividing such costs by the total costs of merchandising services which is estimated based on a budget prior to contract inception, a percentage is determined. The percentage determined is applied to the revenue allocated to the merchandising services and that proportionate amount of revenue is recognized on a monthly basis. Revenue from the licensing of branded property with no service component is recognized when the contract is signed. Revenue from our Properties Plus loyalty and reward programs is typically based on a percentage of a lottery's prize payout structure calculated as a percentage of retail sales. Revenue is recognized when the amount of retail sales is generated. Revenue from the sale of prepaid phone cards is recognized when the customer accepts the product pursuant to the terms of the contract. Lottery Systems Revenue from the provision of lottery system services is recognized as a percentage of the retail sales of lottery tickets pursuant to the terms of the contract. Revenue from the sale of a lottery system or sub-system, which includes the customization of software, is recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting, based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated costs to complete. Revenue from the perpetual licensing of customized lottery software is recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting, based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated costs to complete. Revenue derived from software maintenance on lottery software is recognized ratably over the maintenance period. Revenue derived from hardware maintenance on lottery terminals and central systems is recognized ratably over the maintenance period. 79
83 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Gaming Revenue from the sale of lottery terminals is recognized when the customer accepts the product pursuant to the terms of the contract. Revenue from the provision of gaming services is generally recognized as a percentage of revenue generated by the gaming machines. Revenue from the sale of gaming machines or content that does not include a service or maintenance component is recognized upon acceptance pursuant to the terms of the contract. Revenue from the sale of gaming terminals and related software that includes a service or maintenance component is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Revenue from the provision of pari-mutuel wagering services is generally recognized as a percentage of the amount wagered by the customers' patrons at the time of the wager pursuant to the terms of the contract. Revenue from the sale of a pari-mutuel wagering system, which includes the customization of software, is recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting, based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated costs to complete. Revenue from the sale of pari-mutuel wagering terminals is recognized when the customer accepts the product pursuant to the terms of the contract. Revenue from the perpetual licensing of customized pari-mutuel software is recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting, based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated costs to complete. Revenue from wagering at Company owned or operated sites is recognized as a percentage of the amount wagered by our customers at the time of the wager. Revenue from the provision of facilities management services to non-company owned wagering sites is recognized as a percentage of the amount wagered by the customers' patrons at the time of the wager pursuant to the terms of the contract. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. We place our temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit. Restricted Cash Restricted cash of $30,398 at December 31, 2012 includes approximately $28,960 placed in escrow that will be used to fund part of our 16.5% investment in the consortium that, subject to obtaining various regulatory approvals and Greek parliamentary approval, will hold the 12-year concession for the exclusive right to the production, operation and management of instant ticket lotteries in Greece. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable; however, changes in circumstances relating to accounts receivable may result in additional allowances in the future. We determine the allowance based on historical experience, current market trends and, for larger accounts, the ability to pay outstanding balances. We continually review our allowance for doubtful accounts. Past due balances and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Accounts receivable, net, consists of the following: 80
84 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) As of December 31, Accounts receivable $ 178,572 $ 137,084 Unbilled accounts receivable 42,525 50,165 Allowance for doubtful accounts (10,952) (4,782) $ 210,145 $ 182,467 Under certain of our contracts, contractual billings do not coincide with revenue recognized under the contract. Unbilled accounts receivable represent revenue recorded in excess of amounts billable pursuant to contract provisions and generally become billable at contractually specified dates or upon the attainment of contractually defined milestones. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, including provisions for obsolescence commensurate with known or estimated exposures. Cost is determined as follows: Item Cost method Parts First-in, first-out or weighted moving average. Work-in-process and finished goods First-in, first-out or weighted moving average for direct material and labor; other fixed and variable production costs are allocated as a percentage of direct labor cost. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost on acquisition date and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Item Estimated Life in Years Machinery and equipment 3-15 Transportation equipment 3-8 Furniture and fixtures 5-10 Buildings and improvements Costs incurred for equipment associated with specific lottery and gaming contracts not yet placed in service are classified as construction in progress in property and equipment and are not depreciated. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the corresponding lease. Deferred Installation Costs Certain lottery and gaming contracts require us to perform installation activities. Direct installation activities, which include costs for terminals, facilities wiring, computers, internal labor and travel, are performed at the inception of a specific
85 81
86 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) contract with a specific customer to enable us to perform under the terms of the contract. These activities will begin after a contract is entered into and will end when the setup activities are substantially complete. Such activities do not represent a separate earnings process and, therefore, the costs are deferred and amortized over the expected life of the contract, which we define as the original life of the contract plus all available extensions. Deferred installation costs, net of accumulated depreciation, included in property and equipment were approximately $36,400 and $40,900 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. We follow the acquisition method of accounting for all business combinations. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired. For extensions and renewals of intangible assets, we typically capitalize licensing fees incurred in connection with our licensing agreements for our use of third-party brands and intellectual property. Such assets are amortized over the estimated life of the asset. Equity Investments We account for our investments where we own a non-controlling interest, but exercise significant influence, under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, our original cost of the investment is adjusted for our share of equity in the earnings of the equity investment and reduced by distributions received. On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the fair value of our equity investment may be impaired. An equity investment is impaired only if the estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. If an impairment were to occur, the impairment would be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the equity investment over the fair value of the equity investment. Other Assets We capitalize costs associated with internally developed and purchased software systems for use in our lottery and gaming contracts. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the asset, which is typically two to ten years. We also capitalize costs associated with longterm debt financing, marketing rights, and non-competition agreements arising primarily from business acquisitions. An evaluation is performed to determine if any impairment has occurred with respect to any amortized or non-amortized assets. Derivative Financial Instruments We record derivative instruments on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. From time to time, we utilize interest rate swap agreements to mitigate gains or losses associated with the change in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in interest rates on variable rate debt. We also enter into foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to mitigate the risk associated with cash payments required to be made by the Company in non-functional currencies or to mitigate the foreign currency translation risk of our investments. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts for the sale of Euros for U.S. dollars to hedge a portion of the net investment in one of our subsidiaries that is denominated in Euros. If the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting, the effective portion of the hedge is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recorded in our results of operations. If the derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting, any periodic changes to the fair value are recognized in our results of operations. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the expected net future undiscounted cash 82
87 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) flows to be generated by that asset or, for identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, by determining whether the amortization of the intangible asset balance over its remaining life can be recovered through expected net future undiscounted cash flows. The amount of impairment of other long-lived assets is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair market value, less expected costs to sell. Income Taxes Income taxes are determined using the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company's tax expense includes U.S. and international income taxes, but excludes the provision for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries deemed to be permanently invested. The Company applies a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes in the financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the position. Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which realization is not likely. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had a valuation allowance of $241,156 and $236,296, respectively, recorded against the benefit of certain deferred tax assets of foreign and U.S. subsidiaries. The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and in the normal course of business is examined in various jurisdictions. The reversal of accruals is recorded when examinations are completed, statutes of limitation are closed or tax laws are changed. Changes in tax laws and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and our effective tax rate in the future. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the "Act ) was signed into law on January 2, Because a change in tax law is accounted for in the period of enactment, the provisions of the Act that are expected to impact the Company's 2012 U.S tax return (e.g., the research and experimentation credit) cannot be recognized in the Company's 2012 financial statements and instead will be reflected in the Company's 2013 financial statements. Because the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the benefit of its U.S net deferred tax assets, we do not expect the provisions of the Act to have a material impact on the Company's 2013 financial statements. Foreign Currency Translation Significant operations where local currency is the functional currency include our operations in the U.K., continental Europe and China. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at period-end rates of exchange and results of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the period. Gains or losses resulting from translating the foreign currency financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales for all periods presented. Stock-Based Compensation We offer stock-based compensation through the use of stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"). 83
88 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) We measure compensation cost for stock awards at fair value and recognize compensation expense ratably over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the number of shares underlying the units granted and the quoted market price of our common stock. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment and, to the extent actual results or future estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class and historical experience. Actual results and future changes in estimates may differ substantially from our current estimates. The Company may grant awards that are contingent upon the Company achieving certain performance targets. Upon determining the performance target is probable, the fair value of the award is recognized over the service period. Certain equity awards may be settled in cash or a variable number of shares. The fair value of these awards are measured each reporting period and recorded as a liability and corresponding compensation expense. As the fair value changes each reporting period, the corresponding liability and compensation expense are adjusted, such that the liability and cumulative compensation expense equal the total fair value of the obligation at the reporting date. Comprehensive Income We include and separately classify in comprehensive income unrealized gains and losses from our foreign currency translation adjustments, gains or losses associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits, prior service costs or credits associated with pension or other postretirement benefits, transition assets or obligations associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits, the effective portion of derivative financial instruments and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the significant estimates involve percentage of completion for contracted lottery development projects, stockbased and/or performance-based compensation expense, capitalization of software development costs, evaluation of the recoverability of assets, assessment of litigation and contingencies, allocation of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations and income and other taxes. Actual results could differ from estimates. Our review during the three months ended June 30, 2012 indicated lower estimated useful lives for our gaming terminals deployed at our U.K. LBO customers relative to historical estimates due to market changes that have altered the replacement cycle of these terminals. As a result, effective April 1, 2012, we revised the estimated useful lives of our gaming terminals currently deployed to our LBO customers. This change increased depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 but was not material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, Recently Issued Accounting Guidance In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance to clarify the intent of the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and amend certain requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to non-financial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counter-party credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts in fair value measurement. Additionally, for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the new guidance clarifies that quantitative disclosure about unobservable inputs should be disclosed and requires a description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs and the 84
89 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) interrelationships between those inputs. We adopted the guidance on January 1, The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The guidance eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders' equity. Instead, an entity is required to present net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2012, resulting in a change in the presentation of comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. We adopted the new guidance on January 1, In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The guidance provides an entity with the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that this is the case, it is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit (if any). If an entity determines the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. We adopted the guidance on January 1, The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements. In July 2012, the FASB issued guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance provides an entity with the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of the asset with the carrying amount. We adopted the guidance on July 1, The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements. (2) Business and Geographic Segments We report our operations in three business segments: Printed Products; Lottery Systems; and Gaming, each of which is managed by a separate segment President who reports to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). During the first quarter of 2011, we reviewed the allocation of overhead expenses to our reportable segments as a result of the realignment of our management structure. Based on this review, we determined to no longer allocate certain overhead expenses to our reportable segments. This change, which was effective January 1, 2011, had no impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets or its statements of operations, cash flows or changes in stockholders' equity for any periods. Prior period reportable segment information for the year ended December 31, 2010 has been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segment reporting. The impact of this adjustment was a decrease to reportable business segment selling, general and administrative expenses and a corresponding increase to unallocated corporate selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $17,100. The following tables set forth revenue, cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses, write-down of assets held for sale, employee termination and restructuring costs, depreciation and amortization, operating income, capital, lottery 85

In evaluating financial performance, we focus on operating income as a segment's measure of profit or loss. Segment operating income (loss) is income (loss) before other income (expense), net, interest expense, earnings from equity investments, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, unallocated corporate costs and income taxes. Certain corporate assets consisting of cash, prepaid expenses, and property, plant and equipment are not allocated to the segments. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described above in the summary of significant accounting policies.

(3) Total long-lived assets held outside the United States as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $184,171 and $220,620, respectively. (3) Acquisitions and Dispositions Acquisitions On July 19, 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Parspro.com ehf ("Parspro") for approximately $11,800. Parspro is a provider of sports betting systems and related products via point of sale terminals, the internet and mobile devices. Approximately $9,900 of the $11,800 purchase price was in excess of the preliminary fair value of the acquired net assets and has been allocated to goodwill. The acquired assets include technology that we have integrated into our Lottery Systems business and our interactive games platform as part of an expanded service offering to lottery customers. Had the operating results of Parspro been included as if the transaction was consummated on January 1, 2011, our pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 would not have been materially different. On June 8, 2012, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Provoloto for approximately $9,720, subject to certain adjustments, including an estimated earn-out payable to the sellers of approximately $2,000 contingent on the future performance of the acquired business. Provoloto develops and distributes instant lottery tickets and manages instant ticket lotteries for Mexican charities. We expect this acquisition to strengthen our presence in Latin America and create a platform for further expansion in the region. Approximately $5,100 of the $9,720 purchase price was in excess of the preliminary fair value of the acquired net assets and has been allocated to goodwill. The operating results of Provoloto have been included in our Printed Products segment and have been consolidated in our results of operations since the date of acquisition. Had the operating results of Provoloto been included as if the transaction was consummated on January 1, 2011, our pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 would not have been materially different. On June 7, 2012, we acquired ADS/Technology and Gaming, Ltd. ("ADS") for 3,450, subject to certain adjustments. ADS provides maintenance and other services for LBOs in the U.K. We have integrated ADS into our existing Gaming business. We expect that the acquisition will allow us to expand our service offering to the LBOs. Approximately 2,200 of the 3,450 purchase price was in excess of the preliminary fair value of the acquired net assets and has been allocated to goodwill. The operating results of ADS have been included in our Gaming segment and have been consolidated in our results of operations since the date of acquisition. Had the operating results of ADS been included as if the transaction was consummated 90
99 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (3) Acquisitions and Dispositions (Continued) on January 1, 2011, our pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 would not have been materially different. On September 23, 2011 we acquired Barcrest Group Limited ("Barcrest"), a leading supplier of gaming content and machines in Europe, from subsidiaries of International Game Technology for approximately 33,000 in cash (subject to certain adjustments). Barcrest has been integrated with our existing Gaming business. Subsequent to the filing of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we adjusted the estimated fair values of certain of the assets acquired as part of our acquisition of Barcrest on September 23, 2011 to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date. The adjustments resulted in an increase in goodwill of approximately $2,040, an increase in other assets of approximately $1,490, a decrease in inventory of approximately $1,970, a decrease in the current portion of deferred income taxes of approximately $1,090 and a decrease in prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets of approximately $470. We have applied the adjustment retrospectively to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, The following table summarizes the adjusted fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date based on a final purchase price allocation:

The remaining $11,100 of intangible assets includes customer lists of approximately $5,700 (with a four-year weighted average useful life) and intellectual property of approximately $5,400 (with a 4.5-year weighted average useful life). The approximate $6,400 of goodwill was assigned to our Gaming segment. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. We recognized approximately $4,700 of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Barcrest service and sales revenue for the period September 23, 2011 (date of acquisition) through December 31, 2011 was approximately $6,900 and $7,400, respectively. Barcrest net loss was approximately $500 for the same period. As required by ASC 805, Business Combinations, set forth below is our unaudited pro forma revenue and net loss for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, as if the acquisition of Barcrest had occurred on January 1,

On August 5, 2010, we acquired substantially all of the assets of GameLogic Inc., a provider of interactive marketing services for the U.S. regulated gaming market, including GameLogic's software for internet-based loyalty programs as well as an extensive suite of interactive games and related intellectual property. We have integrated the GameLogic assets with our existing Properties Plus business. The acquisition was not material to our operations. On April 19, 2010, we acquired certain assets of Sceptre Leisure Solutions Limited, including 751 server-based gaming terminals and associated customer contracts, to increase our estate of gaming machines supplied to and operated by licensed betting offices in the U.K. The operating results derived from the acquired assets have been included in the Gaming segment and have been consolidated in our statement of operations since the date of acquisition. The acquisition was not material to our operations. Dispositions On October 5, 2010, we completed the sale of the Racing Business to Sportech. Upon the closing of the transaction, we received approximately $33,000 in cash (subject to certain post-closing adjustments as specified in the purchase agreement) and 39,742 shares of Sportech stock (the "Consideration Shares") representing approximately 20% of Sportech's outstanding shares as of the closing of the transaction. The Consideration Shares were valued at approximately $26,300 based on the closing price of Sportech stock on October 4, Sportech also agreed to make an additional cash payment to us on September 30, 2013 of approximately $10,000 which is included in notes receivable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012 and In addition, if the Racing Business, under Sportech's ownership, achieves certain performance 93

Until completion of the sale on October 5, 2010, we classified the assets and liabilities of the Racing Business as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we were required to adjust the net assets classified as held for sale to fair value, less estimated cost to sell. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a write-down of assets held for sale of $8,029 in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income to decrease the carrying amount of the Racing Business to fair value, less cost to sell. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a loss on the sale of the Racing Business of $361. (4) Restructuring Plans Printed Products segment Following a strategic review of our global instant lottery tickets business, we commenced a reorganization plan on April 18, 2012 to cease all printing and finishing activities at our Australia facility, and during the second half of 2012 we migrated printing for customers in this region to our other manufacturing facilities. We recorded approximately $5,900 of employee termination and other restructuring costs associated with the reorganization for the year ended December 31, Other restructuring costs include approximately $1,300 resulting from vacating our facility. In addition, we recorded approximately $3,400 of accelerated depreciation for equipment related to this reorganization. We do not expect to incur additional material costs or accelerated depreciation related to this reorganization. Gaming segment In January 2012, following a comprehensive strategic review, we announced our exit from the Barcrest analog terminal business in order to focus our game design and other resources solely on our digital server-based supply model. We also reorganized our pub business in an effort to more effectively capitalize on the Barcrest acquisition. In 2012, we recorded approximately $5,700 of employee termination and restructuring costs associated with the reorganization. Other restructuring costs include approximately $1,400 resulting from vacating facilities. We do not expect to incur additional material costs or accelerated depreciation related to this reorganization. We continue to review strategic alternatives for our pub business. A summary of the employee termination and other restructuring costs recognized for the year ended December 31, 2012 is set forth below: Employee termination costs Other restructuring costs Total Balance as of December 31, 2011 $ $ $ Restructuring costs additions 7,488 4,014 11,502 Cash Payments (6,454) (1,573) (8,027) Balance as of December 31, 2012 $ 1,034 $ 2,441 $ 3,475 Employee termination and restructuring costs of approximately $2,000 and $600 recorded in 2011 and 2010, respectively, were a result of our cost reduction initiatives related to the migration by the Global Draw Limited ("Global Draw"), our subsidiary, to a new back-end technology platform and the integration of Barcrest into our Gaming business. 94
105 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (5) Basic Income Per Common Share and Diluted Income Per Common Share Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 we had outstanding stock options and RSUs that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. The following represents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted income available to common stockholders per common share for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010: Years Ended December 31, Income (numerator) Net loss $ (62,627) $ (12,570) $ (149,201) Shares (denominator) Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 90,011 92,068 92,666 Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 90,011 92,068 92,666 Basic and diluted per share amounts Basic net loss per share $ (0.70) $ (0.14) $ (1.61) Diluted net loss per share $ (0.70) $ (0.14) $ (1.61) For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, there were no dilutive stock rights due to the net loss reported for the periods.

107 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (7) Property and Equipment Property and equipment, including assets under capital leases, consist of the following: As of December 31, Machinery, equipment and deferred installation costs $ 717,197 $ 661,733 Land and buildings 68,449 65,379 Transportation equipment 3,261 3,490 Furniture and fixtures 18,634 12,679 Leasehold improvements 13,304 12,864 Construction in progress 27,777 32,384 Property and equipment, at cost 848, ,529 Less: accumulated depreciation (471,745) (362,041) Net property and equipment $ 376,877 $ 426,488 Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $122,600, $76,900 and $99,700, respectively. Cost for equipment associated with specific lottery and gaming contracts not yet placed into service are recorded as construction in progress and not depreciated. When the equipment is placed into service the related costs are transferred from construction in progress to machinery and equipment, and we commence depreciation. Depreciation expense is excluded from cost of sales and other operating expenses and is separately stated with amortization expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As noted in Note 1 (Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the expected net future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by that asset. If it is determined an impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment recorded is equal to the excess of the asset's carrying value over its estimated fair value which is generally derived from a discounted cash flow model. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we recorded long-lived asset impairments of approximately $5,800 related to underperforming U.S. Lottery Systems contracts. See Note 14 (Fair Value Measurements) for additional information. There were no long-lived asset impairment charges recorded as of December 31, During 2010, we recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of approximately $17,500 related to underperforming U.S. Lottery Systems contracts. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we also recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3,000 related to obsolete Lottery Systems equipment. These impairment charges are included in depreciation and amortization expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the respective years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and in accumulated depreciation in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2012, we recorded long-lived asset impairments of approximately $27,400 related to a write-down of certain undeployed gaming terminals, approximately $3,100 related to the write-down of certain hardware development costs in our licensed properties business and approximately $3,400 related to the reorganization of our Australia printing operations. We recorded accelerated depreciation expense of $6,400 and $8,300 in 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a result of our migration to a new platform technology. We also recorded long-lived asset impairments of approximately $2,500 in 2010 related to obsolete gaming terminals. These impairments are included in depreciation and amortization expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the respective years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and included in accumulated depreciation in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 96
108 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (8) Goodwill and Intangible Assets Subsequent to the filing of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we adjusted the estimated fair values of certain assets acquired as part of our acquisition of Barcrest on September 23, 2011 to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date. The adjustments resulted in an increase in goodwill of approximately $2,040, an increase in other assets of approximately $1,490, a decrease in inventory of approximately $1,970, a decrease in the current portion of deferred income taxes of approximately $1,090 and a decrease in prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets of approximately $470. We have applied the adjustment retrospectively to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, Intangible Assets The following presents certain information on our intangible assets as of December 31, 2012 and Amortizable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives with no estimated residual values.

109 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (8) Goodwill and Intangible Assets (Continued) The aggregate intangible asset amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $17,600, $15,300 and $13,700, respectively. The estimated intangible asset amortization expense for the year ending December 31, 2013 and each of the subsequent four years is approximately $17,200, $11,800, $7,300, $3,500 and $1,700, respectively. Goodwill The table below reconciles the change in the carrying amount of goodwill, by reporting segment, for the period from December 31, 2010 to December 31, Goodwill Printed Products Lottery Systems Gaming Totals Balance at December 31, 2010 $ 335,481 $ 186,944 $ 241,490 $ 763,915 Acquisitions 2,637 7,048 9,685 Foreign currency adjustments (1,361) (2,961) (885) (5,207) Balance at December 31, , , , ,393 Acquisitions 5,018 9,913 3,638 18,569 Foreign currency adjustments 1,389 1,382 11,365 14,136 Reallocation of Goodwill (12,767) 12,767 Balance at December 31, 2012 $ 327,760 $ 210,682 $ 262,656 $ 801,098 Due to changes in our management authority structure in 2012, we changed the designation of our CODM as defined under ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ( ASC 350 ). As a result, we determined that we have seven operating segments based on the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM, which we also determined represent our reporting units as defined under ASC 350. Our seven reporting units are Printed Products; Licensed Properties; U.S. Lottery Systems; International Lottery Systems; China Lottery; Video Systems; and Gaming. Previously we had three operating segments and reporting units as of December 31, 2011 and therefore the identification of seven reporting units required the reallocation of the goodwill balance to each reporting unit based on a relative fair value approach in accordance with ASC 350. As a result, $12,800 of goodwill was reallocated between Printed Products and Lottery Systems reportable segments which reflects the creation of the China Lottery reporting unit which includes all our operations in China including our equity investment in Beijing CITIC Scientific Games Technology Co., Ltd. ("CSG") as of December 31,
110 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (8) Goodwill and Intangible Assets (Continued) Our annual impairment valuation as of December 31, 2012 produced estimated fair values of equity for all of our reporting units under our old and new structures in excess of the carrying value of equity for all of our reporting units. The estimated fair values of equity for each of our Printed Products, Licensed Properties, International Lottery Systems, China Lottery and Video Systems reporting units were substantially in excess of the carrying value of such reporting unit. Although the estimated fair value of equity for our U.S. Lottery and Gaming reporting units were in excess of the respective carrying value, to illustrate the sensitivity of these reporting units, a decrease in the fair value of equity of more than 25% for our U.S. Lottery Systems or more than 20% for our Gaming reporting unit could potentially result in an impairment of goodwill. The estimate of a reporting unit's fair value requires the use of several assumptions and estimates regarding the reporting unit's future cash flows, growth rates, market comparables and weighted average cost of capital, among others. Significant judgment is required in the forecasting of future operating results, which are used in the preparation of projected cash flows. Any significant adverse changes in key assumptions about these businesses and their prospects such as changes in our strategy or products, the loss of key customers, regulatory licensing or adverse changes in economic and market conditions may cause a change in the estimation of fair value valuation of our reporting units and could result in an impairment charge that could be material to our financial statements. (9) Other Assets Other assets consist of the following: As of December 31, Software systems development costs, net $ 87,206 $ 74,100 Deferred financing costs 25,481 33,918 Deferred tax asset, long-term portion 6,281 11,217 Other assets 4,547 14,886 $ 123,515 $ 134,121 In the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we capitalized $44,000 and $30,800, respectively, of software systems development costs related primarily to our lottery and wide area gaming businesses. The total amount charged to amortization expense for amortization of capitalized systems development costs was approximately $28,000, $24,000 and $27,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded accelerated depreciation expense of approximately $5,800 related to a write-down of certain obsolete software development costs in our licensed properties business and gaming business. Deferred financing costs arise in connection with our long-term financing and are amortized over the life of the financing agreements. We capitalized approximately $6,300, $14,500 and $12,700 during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in connection with financing transactions. Amortization of deferred financing costs amounted to approximately $7,100, $7,500 and $6,500 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During 2012, we wrote off approximately $7,600 of unamortized deferred financing fees related to the redemption of our 7.875% senior subordinated notes due 2016 (the "2016 Notes"). During 2011, we wrote off approximately $4,200 of unamortized deferred financing fees related to the August 25, 2011 amendment to our credit agreement. 99
111 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (10) Equity Investments At December 31, 2012, the Company had investments in the following entities which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company records income or loss from equity method investments as "Earnings from equity investments" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and records the carrying value of each investment in "Equity investments" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l. We are a 20% equity owner in Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l. ("LNS"), an entity comprised principally of us, Lottomatica Group S.p.A. ("Lottomatica") and Arianna 2001, a company owned by the Federation of Italian Tobacconists, that was awarded the concession from the Italian Monopoli di Stato to be the exclusive operator of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant ticket lottery beginning on October 1, The concession has an initial term of nine years (subject to a performance evaluation during the fifth year) and could be extended by the Monopoli di Stato for an additional nine years. LNS succeeded Consorzio Lotterie Nazionali ("CLN"), a consortium comprised of essentially the same group that owns LNS, as holder of the concession. Under the new concession, we are the primary supplier of instant lottery tickets for LNS, as we were under the prior concession. CLN, which had held the concession since 2004, is being wound up and the bulk of its assets were transferred to LNS. As of December 31, 2012, our investment in CLN was approximately $5,000. LNS paid 800,000 in upfront fees under the terms of the new concession. We paid our pro rata share of these fees in 2010 ( 160,000). The upfront fees associated with the new concession are amortized by LNS (approximately 89,000 each year of the new concession on a pre-tax basis), which reduces our earnings from our equity investment in LNS. Our share of the amortization is approximately 18,000 each year on a pre-tax basis. Subject to applicable limitations, we are entitled to receive from LNS annual cash dividends as well as periodic return of capital payments over the life of the concession. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 we recorded income of approximately $17,900 and $18,600, respectively, representing our share of earnings of LNS. We recognized revenue from the sale of tickets to LNS during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 of approximately $52,000 and $56,900, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 we had accounts receivable of approximately $14,200 from LNS. Northstar Lottery Group, LLC We are a 20% equity owner in Northstar Lottery Group, LLC ("Northstar"), an entity formed with GTECH Corporation, a subsidiary of Lottomatica, to be the private manager for the Illinois lottery. Northstar was selected as the private manager following a competitive procurement and entered into a private management agreement with the State of Illinois on January 18, 2011 (the "PMA") for a 10-year term. As the private manager, Northstar, subject to the oversight of the Illinois lottery, manages the day-to-day operations of the lottery including lottery game development and portfolio management, retailer recruitment and training, supply of goods and services and overall marketing strategy. Under the terms of the PMA, Northstar is entitled to receive annual incentive compensation payments to the extent it is successful in increasing the lottery's net income (as defined in the PMA) above specified target levels, subject to a cap of 5% of the applicable year's net income. Northstar is responsible for payments to the State to the extent such targets are not achieved, subject to a similar cap. These net income target levels are subject to upward or downward adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the PMA. Northstar may seek downward adjustments to the net income targets in the event certain actions of the State (or the federal government) have a material adverse effect on the lottery's net income and Northstar's ability to receive incentive compensation payments. On November 6, 2012, an arbitrator determined that Northstar is entitled to a $28,400 downward adjustment to the net income target for the lottery's 2012 fiscal year and a $2,900 downward adjustment to the net income target for the lottery's 2013 fiscal year. We understand that the State has objected to the arbitrator's determination. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, it is unclear if these adjusted net income targets are final or subject to further review or adjustment. Accordingly, as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Northstar is unable to estimate, and therefore has not recorded, any amounts in respect of annual incentive compensation or net income shortfall payments for the year ended December 31,
112 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (10) Equity Investments (Continued) Northstar is reimbursed on a monthly basis for most of its operating expenses under the PMA. Under our CSP agreement with Northstar, we are responsible for the design, development, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution of instant lottery tickets and are compensated based on a percentage of retail sales. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 we recorded a loss of approximately $2,600 and $1,700, respectively, representing our share of the losses of Northstar. We recognized revenue from the sale of instant lottery tickets to Northstar during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 of approximately $24,600 and $14,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 we had accounts receivable of approximately $10,300 from Northstar. Beijing CITIC Scientific Games Technology Co., Ltd On October 12, 2007, we invested $7,350 for a 49% interest in CSG. CSG established an instant ticket manufacturing facility that produces instant lottery tickets for sale to the China Sports Lottery for a 15-year period that began in For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recorded income of approximately $8,300, $9,700 and $4,800, respectively, representing our share of the earnings of CSG. We are also entitled to a royalty fee from CSG for intellectual property rights equal to 1% of the total gross profits distributed by CSG. Beijing Guard Libang Technology Co., Ltd On November 15, 2007, we acquired a 50% interest in the ownership of Beijing Guard Libang Technology Co., Ltd. ("Guard Libang"), a provider of instant lottery ticket validation and inventory management systems to all of the China Welfare Lottery provincial jurisdictions, for approximately $28,000. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recorded income of approximately $1,700, $2,800 and $2,000, respectively, representing our share of earnings of Guard Libang. Roberts Communications Network, LLC On February 28, 2007, we sold our racing communications business and our 70% interest in NASRIN, our data communications business, to Roberts Communications Network, LLC ("RCN") in exchange for a 29.4% interest in RCN. RCN provides communications services in the U.S. to racing and nonracing entities using both satellite and terrestrial services. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recorded income of approximately $6,400, $2,400 and $3,500, respectively, representing our share of earnings of RCN. Sciplay On January 21, 2010, we entered into a joint venture with Playtech Services (Cyprus) Limited ( Playtech Services ), a subsidiary of Playtech Limited ("Playtech"), in which we and Playtech Services each had a 50% interest in two entities, Sciplay International S.a.r.l. and Sciplay (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l. (collectively Sciplay ). Sciplay focuses on providing end-to-end offerings of products and services that enable lotteries and certain other gaming operators to offer internet gaming solutions in a manner that is consistent with applicable regulatory regimes. On January 23, 2012, we entered into an agreement with Playtech Services that restructured this strategic relationship and, as part of the restructuring, the Sciplay-related entities became wholly owned subsidiaries of Scientific Games. The impact of this restructuring on our consolidated balance sheet and consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 was not material.

Sportech is a U.K. based company that operates football pools and associated games through various distribution channels, including direct mail and telephone, agent-based collection and via the internet. Sportech provides wagering technology solutions to racetracks, and off-track wagering networks and also operates a portfolio of online casino, poker, bingo and fixed-odds games businesses. We record our equity interest in Sportech on a 90-day lag as allowed under ASC 323, Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures. International Terminal Leasing As contemplated by our strategic agreements with Video B Holdings Limited ("Video B"), a subsidiary of Playtech, relating to our license of Video B's back-end technology platform for our gaming machines, we formed ITL with Video B in the first quarter of The purpose of ITL is to acquire gaming terminals using funds contributed to the capital of ITL by each partner. The gaming terminals, which employ Video B's software, are leased to whichever company's subsidiary is to provide the terminals to third-party customers. The equity interest of each partner varies based on the respective capital contributions from the partners; however, each partner has joint control regarding operating decisions of ITL. Intra-entity profits and losses are eliminated as necessary. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded a loss of approximately $3,800 and $2,700, respectively, attributable to our share of earnings of ITL. Combined summary financial information The combined summary financial information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is presented for all equity method investments owned during the respective periods. The audited financial statements of LNS are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We intend to file the CSG unaudited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the CLN unaudited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, and the Guard Libang unaudited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 as exhibits to Form 10-K/A no later than June 30, Years Ended December 31, Revenue $ 949,470 $ 907,744 $ 598,758 Revenue less cost of revenue $ 506,442 $ 461,715 $ 338,327 Net income $ 111,168 $ 124,523 $ 161,853 As of December 31, Current assets $ 682,305 $ 598,004 Non-current assets $ 1,273,906 $ 1,377,045 Current liabilities $ 496,442 $ 455,082 Non-current liabilities $ 148,532 $ 93,
115 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (10) Equity Investments (Continued) As described in Note 1 (Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), on a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the fair value of our equity investments may be impaired. An equity investment is impaired only if the estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. If an impairment were to occur, the loss would be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the equity investment over the fair value of the equity investment. No other than temporary impairments were identified for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and (11) Accrued Liabilities Accrued liabilities consist of the following: As of December 31, Compensation and benefits $ 40,132 $ 45,418 Customer advances 389 1,077 Deferred revenue 27,668 18,916 Taxes, other than income 11,015 9,749 Liabilities assumed in business combinations 2,069 6,132 Accrued contract costs 11,663 11,461 Accrued interest 14,706 8,694 Other 51,375 43,234 $ 159,017 $ 144,681 (12) Leases At December 31, 2012, we were obligated under operating leases covering office equipment, office and warehouse space, transponders and transportation equipment expiring at various dates. Future minimum lease payments required under our leasing arrangements at December 31, 2012 are approximately as follows: Thereafter Future minimum lease payments $ 18,600 $ 16,300 $ 13,800 $ 10,700 $ 10,200 $ 12,500 Total rental expense under these operating leases was approximately $22,000, $20,100 and $21,600 in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We have entered into several operating lease agreements, some of which contain provisions for future rent increases, rent-free periods, or periods in which rent payments are reduced. The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is being charged to rent expense on the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to deferred rent obligation, which is included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $250,000 senior secured revolving credit facility and senior secured term loan credit facilities under which $559,730 of term loan borrowings were outstanding as of December 31, There were no borrowings and $ 43,823 in outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately $ 206,177 available for additional borrowing or letter of credit issuances under the revolving credit facility. Our ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement will depend on us remaining in compliance with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, including the maintenance of the financial ratios discussed below. The revolving credit facility commitments and the outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement are scheduled to mature on June 30, Amounts under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed by SGI from time to time until maturity. Voluntary prepayments and commitment reductions under the Credit Agreement are permitted at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than break-funding costs), upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at SGI's option, either (1) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (a) the prime rate of JPMorgan, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) the LIBOR rate for a deposit in dollars with a maturity of one month plus 1.00%, or (2) a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined below) as set forth in a grid. Under the terms of the August Amendment, the two lowest applicable margin levels in the grid were eliminated such that the applicable margin now varies based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio from 1.50% to 2.50% above the base rate for base rate loans, and from 2.50% to 3.50% above LIBOR for LIBOR-based loans. During the term of the Credit Agreement, SGI will pay the administrative agent for the account of each revolving lender a fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to the product of (1) the available revolving credit facility commitments and (2) either 0.50% per annum if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the most recent determination date is less than 4.25 to 1.00 or 0.75% per annum if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the most recent determination date is greater than or equal to 4.25 to The Company and its direct and indirect 100%-owned U.S. subsidiaries (other than SGI) have guaranteed the payment of the SGI's obligations under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority, perfected lien on (1) substantially all the property and assets (real and personal, tangible and intangible) of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries and (2) 100% of the capital stock (or other equity interests) of all of the Company's direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock (or other equity interests) of the direct foreign subsidiaries of SGI and the guarantors. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including negative covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions or certain other restricted payments, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or extend credit, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, consummate certain asset sales, effect a consolidation or merger, sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, prepay or modify certain indebtedness, or create certain liens and other encumbrances on assets. 106

123 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (13) Long-Term and Other Debt (Continued) flexibility to incur additional incremental indebtedness in the form of one or more series of debt securities in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amounts allowed to be incurred under the Incremental Facility. In addition, the August Amendment renewed most of the negative covenant baskets as of the effective date of the August Amendment and provides investment flexibility for SGI by allowing the borrower to move capital stock, property and cash from non-guarantor subsidiaries to loan parties and then back to non-guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement. The August Amendment also provides SGI the ability to use an existing restricted payment basket comprised of $200,000 plus a permitted expenditure amount that is based in part on the cumulative consolidated net income of the Company for investments and prepayments of certain indebtedness. In connection with the August Amendment SGI paid an aggregate of approximately $6,300 of fees and expenses in 2011 to (or for the benefit of) the consenting and new lenders of which approximately $5,800 was capitalized as deferred financing fees. We also recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $4,200 as a result of writing off deferred financing fees related to those lenders that chose not to extend the maturity date of their loans.

(14) Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company estimates fair value of its assets and liabilities utilizing an established three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows: Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions.

127 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (14) Fair Value Measurements (Continued) 112
128 Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that we were unable to corroborate with observable market data. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe the fair value of our financial instruments, which are principally cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their recorded values. Interest rate swap Effective October 17, 2008, SGI entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement (the "2008 Hedge") with JPMorgan, which expired on October 17, Under the 2008 Hedge, which was designated as a cash flow hedge, SGI paid interest on a notional amount of debt at a fixed rate of and received interest on a notional amount of debt at the then prevailing three-month LIBOR rate. The objective of the 2008 Hedge was to eliminate the variability of cash flows attributable to the LIBOR component of interest expense paid on our variable-rate debt. We believe we matched the critical terms of the hedged variable-rate debt with the 2008 Hedge and believe the 2008 Hedge was highly effective in offsetting changes in the expected cash flows due to fluctuation in the three-month LIBOR-based rate over the term of the forecasted interest payments related to the notional amount of variable-rate debt. The effectiveness of the 2008 Hedge was measured quarterly on a retrospective basis using the cumulative dollaroffset approach in which the cumulative changes in the cash flows of the actual swap were compared to the cumulative changes in the cash flows of the hypothetical swap. As the 2008 Hedge was determined to be effective, it was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). There was no ineffective portion of the 2008 Hedge recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency forward contracts During the year ended December 31, 2012, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts for the sale of Euros for U.S. dollars to hedge a portion of the net investment in one of our subsidiaries that is denominated in Euros. Some of these foreign currency forward contracts settled in As of December 31, 2012, we had foreign currency forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of 20,000 and a weighted-average exchange rate of approximately that are scheduled to settle in May We did not have any derivative instruments as of December 31, We have designated the forward contracts as qualified hedges in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ( ASC ) 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Gains and losses from the foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until the investment is liquidated. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a gain, net of tax, associated with the forward contracts of approximately $904 in other comprehensive (loss) income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

129 In accordance with ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, we record our share of a derivative instrument held by LNS in which we have a 20% equity investment. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded by LNS within other comprehensive income on LNS' statement of comprehensive income. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a loss, net of tax, associated with our share of this derivative instrument of $518 in other comprehensive (loss) income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and in equity investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Debt We believe that the fair value of our fixed interest rate debt approximated $986,763 and $855,178 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, based on quoted market prices for our securities. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, machinery, equipment and deferred installation costs with a carrying amount of $25,900 were written down to a fair value of $20,100, resulting in an impairment charge of $5,800, which is included in depreciation and amortization expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, The following are the classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2012: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total at December 31, 2012 Total Loss Valuation Technique Weighted-Average Discount Rate Property and Equipment $ $ $20,100 $20,100 $(5,800) Discounted Cash Flow 9% Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the expected net future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by that asset. The amount of impairment of other long-lived assets is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset, which is determined using a discounted cash flow valuation. Assumptions used in our discounted cash flow valuation include weighted-average cost of capital, long-term projected operating cash flows and long-term projected capital expenses. There were no other assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, (15) Stockholders' Equity Preferred Stock As of December 31, 2012, we had a total of 2,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value per share, authorized for issuance, including 229 authorized shares of Series A convertible preferred stock and 1 authorized share of Series B preferred stock. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding. Common Stock We have two classes of common stock, consisting of Class A common stock and Class B non-voting common stock. All shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock entitle holders to the same rights and privileges except that the Class B common stock is non-voting. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were 700 shares of Class B common stock authorized and none outstanding.

130 The following sets forth the change in the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011: December 31, Shares outstanding as of beginning of period 92,433 91,725 Shares issued as part of equity-based compensation plans and the ESPP, net of shares surrendered 1, Shares repurchased into treasury stock (9,157) Shares outstanding as of end of period 84,395 92,433 Warrants On December 15, 2006, we entered into a licensing agreement with Hasbro, Inc. for the use of certain Hasbro brands in multiple lottery platforms. Under the terms of the agreement, in February 2007, we issued to Hasbro warrants to purchase 40 shares of our Class A common stock at a purchase price of $32.98 per share. The warrants expired on February 28, The fair value of the warrants on the date of grant was $480. Treasury Stock On December 6, 2012, our Board of Directors approved an extension of our existing stock repurchase program to December 31, The program, originally announced in May 2010, was due to expire on December 31, Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase, from time to time through open market purchases or otherwise, shares of our outstanding common stock in an aggregate amount up to $200,000. During fiscal year 2012, we repurchased 9,157 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $ 68,500. As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately $ 105,240 available for potential repurchases under the program. Purchases in 2012 were funded by cash flows from operations, borrowings, or a combination thereof. There were no shares purchased as part of the publicly announced repurchase program for the year ended December 31, As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately $173,697 remaining for purchases under the program. (16) Stock-Based and Other Incentive Compensation We offer stock-based compensation through the use of stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs"). We also offer an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). We grant stock options to employees and directors under our equity-based compensation plans with exercise prices that are not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The terms of the stock option and RSU awards, including the vesting schedule of such awards, are determined at our discretion subject to the terms of the applicable equity-based compensation plan. Options granted over the last several years have generally been exercisable in four or five equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant with a maximum term of ten years. RSUs typically vest in four or five equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant or when certain performance targets are determined to have been met. There are 13,500 shares of common stock authorized for awards under our 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan") plus available shares from a pre-existing equity-based compensation plan, which plans were approved by our stockholders. We also have outstanding stock options granted as part of inducement stock option awards that were not approved by stockholders as permitted by applicable stock exchange rules. We record compensation cost for all stock options and RSUs based on the fair value at the grant date. Our ESPP allows for a total of up to 1,000 shares of Class A common stock to be purchased by eligible employees under offerings made each January 1 and July 1. Employees participate through payroll deductions up to a maximum of 15% of SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (16) Stock-Based and Other Incentive Compensation (Continued) 115
131 eligible compensation. The term of each offering period is six months and shares are purchased on the last day of the offering period at a discount to the stock's market value. Under an amendment to the ESPP adopted in 2006, the purchase price for offering periods beginning in 2007 represents a 15% discount on the closing price of the stock on the last day of the offering period (rather than a 15% discount on the lower of (a) the closing price of the stock on the first day of the offering period and (b) the closing price of the stock on the last day of the offering period). For offering periods held in 2012, 2011 and 2010, we issued a total of 85, 72 and 81 shares, respectively, of common stock at an average price of $7.32, $8.50 and $8.25 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately 357 shares of the 1,000 authorized shares of common stock available to be granted under the ESPP. The Company may grant certain awards the vesting of which is contingent upon the Company achieving certain performance targets. Upon determining that the performance target is probable, the fair value of the award is recognized over the service period, subject to potential adjustment. In connection with A. Lorne Weil becoming our Chief Executive Officer in 2010, the Company awarded to Mr. Weil performance-conditioned awards consisting of 1,000 stock options with an exercise price of $8.06 per share (representing the market value of our common stock on the date of grant) and 1,000 RSUs, which awards have a five-year vesting schedule, with 20% of such options and RSUs scheduled to vest each year if specified performance targets are met (subject to certain "carryover" vesting provisions as described in the employment agreement amendment) (such performance-conditioned stock options and RSUs, the "performance-conditioned equity awards"). Delivery of shares in respect of any vested performance-vesting RSUs will occur on March 15, The performance-conditioned stock options will expire, and the performance-conditioned RSUs will be forfeited, on March 15, 2016 to the extent that such awards remain unvested on such date. Any performance-conditioned stock options that have vested by March 15, 2016 will expire ten years from the date of grant. On February 22, 2012, the Company granted approximately 494 RSUs to certain executives, which awards have a four-year vesting schedule, with 25% scheduled to vest each year if specified performance targets are met subject to certain "carryover" vesting provisions. The specified performance targets and the carryover vesting provisions are substantially identical to those applicable to Mr. Weil's performance-conditioned equity awards. The performanceconditioned RSUs will be forfeited on March 15, 2016 to the extent that such awards remain unvested on such date. We had approximately 814 shares available for grants of equity awards under our equity-based compensation plans (excluding 357 shares available under our ESPP) as of December 31, Under the share counting rules of the equity compensation plans, awards may be outstanding relating to a greater number of shares than the aggregate remaining available under our plans so long as awards will not result in delivery and vesting of shares in excess of the number then available under the plans. Shares available for future issuance do not include shares expected to be withheld in connection with outstanding awards to satisfy tax withholding obligations, which may be deemed to be available for awards under the plans as permitted under the applicable share counting rules of the plans. Stock Options A summary of the changes in stock options outstanding under our equity-based compensation plans during 2012 is presented below: SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (16) Stock-Based and Other Incentive Compensation (Continued) 116

The aggregate intrinsic value of the options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $344 and $1,276, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used in the model are outlined in the following table: Assumptions: Expected volatility 56% 52% 51% Risk-free interest rate 1.3% 1.9% 2.6% Dividend yield Expected life (in years) The computation of the expected volatility is based on historical daily stock prices over a period commensurate with the expected life of the option. Expected life is based on annual historical employee exercise behavior of option grants with similar vesting periods and option expiration data. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities of comparable terms. We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $4,300, $6,300 and $7,300, respectively, and the related tax benefit of approximately $1,700, $2,400 and $2,700, respectively, related to the vesting of stock options. At December 31, 2012, we had approximately $7,500 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense relating to unvested stock options that will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we received approximately $1,300 in cash from the exercise of stock options. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from the exercise of stock options totaled approximately $179 for the year ended December 31, Restricted Stock Units A summary of the changes in RSUs outstanding under our equity-based compensation plans during 2012 is presented below: SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (16) Stock-Based and Other Incentive Compensation (Continued) 117

The fair value of each RSU grant is based on the market value of our common stock at the time of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $19,700, $15,200 and $15,400, respectively, and the related tax benefits of approximately $7,400, $5,700 and $5,800, respectively, related to the vesting of RSUs. At December 31, 2012, we had approximately $37,200 of unrecognized stock-based compensation relating to unvested RSUs that will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. The fair value at vesting date of RSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $14,300, $8,600 and $7,000, respectively. Other Incentive Compensation In December 2010, the Company adopted a performance-based incentive compensation plan relating to our Asia-Pacific business (the "Asia-Pacific Plan"). The purpose of the Asia-Pacific Plan is to provide an equitable and competitive compensation opportunity to certain key employees and consultants of the Company who are involved in the Company's operations in China (and potentially other jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region) (the "Asia-Pacific Business") and to promote the creation of long-term value for our stockholders by directly linking Asia-Pacific Plan participants' compensation under the plan to the appreciation in value of such business. Each participant will be eligible to receive a cash payment following the end of 2014 equal to a pre-determined share of an Asia-Pacific Business incentive compensation pool. The incentive compensation pool will equal a certain percentage of the growth in the value of the Asia-Pacific Business over four years, calculated in the manner provided under the Asia-Pacific Plan and subject to a cap of (1) $35,000, in the event an Asia-Pacific Business liquidity event does not occur by December 31, 2014 or (2) $50,000, in the event an Asia-Pacific Business liquidity event occurs by December 31, An "Asia-Pacific Business liquidity event" means an initial public offering of at least 20% of the Asia-Pacific Business or a strategic investment by a third-party to acquire at least 20% of the Asia-Pacific Business, in each case, that is approved by the Company. Our accrual recorded in other long-term liabilities related to the Asia- Pacific Plan was $1,900 and $4,300 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

134 We have defined benefit pension plans for our U.K.-based union employees (the "U.K. Plan") and certain Canadian-based employees (the "Canadian Plan"). Retirement benefits under the U.K. Plan are generally based on an employee's average compensation over the two years preceding retirement. Retirement benefits under the Canadian Plan are generally based on the number of years of credited service. Our policy is to fund the minimum contribution permissible by the applicable authorities. We estimate that approximately $3,892 will be contributed to the pension plans in fiscal year Our pension benefit costs are calculated using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies. These assumptions include discount rates, inflation, compensation increase rates, expected returns on plan assets, mortality rates and other factors. The assumptions utilized in recording the obligations under our plans represent our best estimates, and we believe that they are reasonable, based on information as to historical experience and performance as well as other factors that might cause future expectations to differ from past trends. Differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect our pension obligations and future expense. The primary factors contributing to actuarial gains and losses each year are (1) changes in the discount rate used to value pension benefit obligations as of the measurement date and (2) differences between the expected and the actual return on plan assets. We used to maintain an unfunded, nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "SERP"), which had been a means of providing supplemental retirement benefits to a limited number of our senior executives. In December 2005, we discontinued the SERP and benefit accruals under the plan were frozen in amounts based on the then present value of each participant's aggregate benefit under an agreed-upon calculation. Although the aggregate benefit for each participant was frozen at that time, participants were credited with interest at a rate of 4% per annum, compounded annually, from December 31, 2005 until the benefit was distributed. In November 2011, the remaining benefit of approximately $3,101 under the SERP was distributed. The remaining distribution consisted of the cash value in a government fund account of approximately $902 and the cash value of the remaining life insurance policies of approximately $2,199. The cash value in the government fund account as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $902. The cash value of the remaining life insurance policies as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $2,228. The following table sets forth the combined funded status of the pension plans and their reconciliation with the related amounts recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements at our December 31 measurement dates: SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts)

The underfunded status of our defined benefit pension plans recorded as a liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $17,813 and $18,074, respectively. The amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2012 expected to be recognized as components of net periodic pension cost during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 are as follows: Net (gain) or loss $ (260) Net prior service cost 1,044 Net amount expected to be recognized $ 784 The U.K. Plan In the third quarter of 2012, we remeasured the U.K. Plan valuation as a result of a plan amendment, which resulted in a decrease to our pension benefit obligation of $5,825. As a result of the amendment, the U.K. Plan is closed to new participants and pensionable earnings used to calculate retirement benefits are limited to a 2% annual increase while the plan is less than 100% funded. The U.K. Plan investment policy is to maximize long-term financial return commensurate with security and minimizing risk. This is achieved by holding a portfolio of marketable investments that avoids over-concentration of investment and spreads assets both over industry and geography. In setting investment strategy, the trustees considered the lowest risk strategy that they could adopt in relation to the U.K. Plan's liabilities and designed their asset allocation to achieve a higher return while maintaining a cautious approach to meeting the plan's liabilities. The trustees undertook a review of investment strategy and took advice from their investment advisors. They considered a full range of asset classes, the risks and rewards of a range of alternative asset allocation strategies, the suitability of each asset class and the need for appropriate diversification. The current strategy is to hold approximately 35% in a global return fund, approximately 20% in U.K. equities, approximately 15% in non-u.k. equities, approximately 15% in long lease property, approximately 10% in corporate bonds and approximately 5% in real estate.

The expected return on bonds is taken as the current redemption yield on the appropriate index. The expected return on equities and property is determined by assuming a measure of outperformance over the gilt-yield. The expected return on cash is related to the Bank of England base rate. Returns so determined are reduced to allow for investment manager expenses. The overall expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the Canadian Plan has been determined by consideration of the current level of expected returns on risk-free investments (primarily government bonds), the historical level of the risk premium associated with the other asset classes in which the portfolio is invested and the expectations for SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (17) Pension and Other Post-Retirement Plans (Continued) 125
146 future returns of each asset class. Since our investment policy is to actively manage certain asset classes where the potential exists to outperform the broader market, the expected returns for those asset classes were adjusted to reflect the expected additional returns. The expected return for each asset class was then weighted based on the target asset allocation to develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption for the portfolio. Finally, we have adjusted the expected long-term rate of return on assets to allow for investment and administration expenses paid from the pension fund. The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid: Year U.K. Plan Canadian Plan 2013 $ 894 $ 1, $ 910 $ 1, $ 926 $ 1, $ 942 $ 1, $ 959 $ 1, $ 5,085 $ 12,210 U.S. Plan We have a 401(k) plan for U.S.-based employees. Those employees who participate in our 401(k) plan are eligible to receive matching contributions from us for the first 6% of participant contributions. Effective January 1, 2010, we increased the matching contributions to 37.5 cents on the dollar for the first 6% of contributions for a match of up to 2.25% of eligible compensation. Contribution expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $1,700, $1,412 and $1,718, respectively.

The effective tax rate for 2012 does not include the benefit of the current year U.S. tax loss as a result of the valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The deferred income tax balances are established using the enacted statutory tax rates and are adjusted for changes in such rates in the period of change.

If the deferred tax asset or liability is not related to a component of our balance sheet, such as our net operating loss carry forwards, the classification is presented based on the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. Our valuation allowance has been classified as current or non-current based on the percentage of current and non-current deferred tax assets to total deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2012, we had net operating loss ("NOL") carry forwards (tax-effected) for federal, state and foreign income tax purposes of $88,899, $25,803 and $51,971, respectively. If not utilized, the federal and state tax loss carry forwards will expire through Certain of our federal NOL carry forwards are limited due to prior-year changes in ownership. The foreign NOL carry forwards can be carried forward for periods that vary from ten years to indefinitely. SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (19) Income Tax Expense (Continued) 129
152 We have foreign tax credit carry forwards of approximately $18,239 which if unutilized will expire through 2018, research and development tax credit carry forwards of $9,550 which if unutilized will expire through 2031, alternative minimum tax credit carry forwards of $2,107 which can be carried forward indefinitely, state tax credits of $2,094 which if unutilized will expire through 2022, and other non-u.s. tax credits of $759 which can be carried forward indefinitely. At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we established a valuation allowance of $241,156 and $236,296 against the U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets that, in the judgment of management, are more likely than not to expire before they can be utilized. In assessing the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, we analyzed all evidence, both positive and negative. We considered, among other things, our deferred tax liabilities, our historical earnings and losses, projections of future income, and tax-planning strategies available to us in the relevant jurisdiction. At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we established valuation allowances of $144,264 and $146,681, respectively, against the benefit of U.S. federal deferred tax assets and valuation allowances of $33,077 and $29,170, respectively, against the benefit of state deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we established valuation allowances of $18,239 and $30,067, respectively, against the benefit of the deferred tax assets related to the U.S. foreign tax credit carry forwards. The decrease in the foreign tax credit valuation allowance in 2012 is due to the Company's election to amend its 2008 U.S. federal income tax return and deduct foreign taxes previously recorded as credits. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we established valuation allowances of $45,576 and $30,378, respectively, against the benefit of the deferred tax assets related to foreign NOL carry forwards to measure them at their expected realizable value. The net increase in the Company's total U.S. and foreign valuation allowances for 2012 and 2011 was $4,860 and $1,483, respectively. Deferred taxes have not been provided on the excess of book basis over tax basis in the shares of certain foreign subsidiaries because these basis differences are not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future and are essentially permanent in duration. Our intention is to continue to reinvest the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries indefinitely. The estimated cumulative amount of earnings from foreign subsidiaries that are permanently invested outside of the U.S. is $265,474 as of December 31, Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company applies a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements when the position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit based on the technical merits of the position. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012 was approximately $1,781. Of this amount, approximately $1,272, if recognized, would be included in our statement of operations and have an impact on our effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate a material reduction of its liability for unrecognized tax benefits before December 31, We recognize interest accrued for unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and recognize penalties in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recognized approximately $44, $67 and $102, respectively, in interest and penalties. We had approximately $396 and $440 for the payment of interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-u.s. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) 130
153 (19) Income Tax Expense (Continued) The Company had the following activity for unrecognized tax benefits: Year Ended December 31, Balance at beginning of period $ 1,876 $ 1,760 $ 6,612 Tax positions related to current year additions Additions for tax positions of prior years Tax positions related to prior years reductions Reductions due to lapse of statute of limitations on tax positions (5,020) Settlements (225) (211) (43) Balance at end of period $ 1,781 $ 1,876 $ 1,760 (20) Litigation Although we are a party to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, we believe, on the basis of information presently available to us, that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not likely have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. From time to time, in the normal course of our operations, we are a party to litigation matters and claims. The results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and our view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. We expense legal fees as incurred. We record a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount or range of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Our subsidiary, SGI, owned a minority interest in Wintech de Colombia S.A., or Wintech (now liquidated), which formerly operated the Colombian national lottery under contract with Empresa Colombiana de Recursos para la Salud, S.A. (together with its successor agencies, "Ecosalud"), an agency of the Colombian government. The contract provided for a penalty against Wintech, SGI and the other shareholders of Wintech of up to $5,000 if certain levels of lottery sales were not achieved. In addition, SGI delivered to Ecosalud a $4,000 surety bond as a further guarantee of performance under the contract. Wintech started the instant lottery in Colombia, but, due to difficulties beyond its control, including, among other factors, social and political unrest in Colombia, frequently interrupted telephone service and power outages, and competition from another lottery being operated in a province of Colombia that we believe was in violation of Wintech's exclusive license from Ecosalud, the projected sales level was not met for the year ended June 30, In 1993, Ecosalud issued a resolution declaring that the contract was in default. In 1994, Ecosalud issued a liquidation resolution asserting claims for compensation and damages against Wintech, SGI and other shareholders of Wintech for, among other things, realization of the full amount of the penalty, plus interest, and the amount of the bond. SGI filed separate actions opposing each resolution with the Tribunal Contencioso of Cundinamarca in Colombia (the Tribunal ), which upheld both resolutions. SGI appealed each decision to the Council of State. On May 25, 2012, the Council of State upheld the authority of Ecosalud to issue the resolutions, which decision was published on August 28, As a result of such decision, the Council of State will consider the merits of the claims set forth in the liquidation resolution in due course. On June 4, 1999, Ecosalud filed a collection proceeding against SGI to enforce the liquidation resolution and recover the claimed damages. In July 2002, the Tribunal denied SGI's preliminary motion to dismiss the collection proceeding and the decision was upheld on appeal. SGI's procedural defense motion was also denied. As a result of these decisions, the collection proceeding will be heard in due course on its merits by the Tribunal and an appeal stage will be available. SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (20) Litigation (Continued) 131
154 SGI believes it has various defenses on the merits against Ecosalud's claims. Although we believe these claims will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, it is not feasible to predict the final outcome, and there can be no assurance that these claims will not ultimately be resolved adversely to us or result in material liability. On April 16, 2012, certain video lottery terminals operated by SNAI S.p.a. ("SNAI") in Italy and supplied by Barcrest erroneously printed what appeared to be winning jackpot and other tickets. SNAI has stated, and system data confirms, that no jackpots were actually won on that day. The terminals were deactivated pending a review by the Italian regulatory authority of the cause of the incident. We understand that the Italian regulatory authority has decided to revoke the certification of the version of the gaming system that Barcrest provided to SNAI and initiated proceedings to revoke the concession SNAI relies upon to operate video lottery terminals in Italy. From a release issued by SNAI on March 1, 2013, we understand that the Italian regulatory authority has issued a decision in which it fined SNAI 1,500 but did not revoke SNAI's concession. In October 2012, SNAI filed a lawsuit in Italy against Barcrest and Global Draw, our subsidiary which acquired Barcrest from IGT-UK Group Limited, claiming liability based on breach of contract and tort. The lawsuit seeks to terminate SNAI's agreement with Barcrest and damages arising from the deactivation of the terminals, including among other things, lost profits, expenses and costs, potential awards to players who have sought to enforce what appeared to be winning jackpot and other tickets, compensation sought by managers of the gaming locations where SNAI video lottery terminals supplied by Barcrest were installed, damages to commercial reputation and any future damages arising from SNAI's potential loss of its concession or inability to obtain a new concession. While we believe we have meritorious defenses and potential third party recoveries, we are still in the process of evaluating the lawsuit and cannot currently predict the outcome of this matter. The following complaints challenging the merger have been filed in various jurisdictions: (i) in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Shaev v. WMS Industries Inc., Gamache, et al. (C.A. No. 8279); (ii) in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, Gardner v. WMS Industries Inc., Scientific Games Corporation, et al., No CH 3540 (Ill. Cir., Cook County); (iii) in the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit of Lake County, Illinois, Gil v. WMS Industries Inc., Scientific Games Corp., et al., No. 13 CH 0473 (Ill. Cir., Lake County); (iv) in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Hornsby v. Gamache, et al. (C.A. No. 8295); (v) in the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit of Lake County, Illinois, Sklodowski v. WMS Industries, Inc., Scientific Games Corp., et al. (Ill. Cir., Lake County); (vi) in the Delaware Court of Chancery, Barresi v. WMS Industries Inc., Gamache, et al. (C.A. No. 8326); and (vii) in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 152 Pension Fund and UA Local 152 Retirement Annuity Fund v. WMS Industries Inc., Gamache, et al. (Ill. Cir., Cook County). Each of the actions is a putative class action filed on behalf of the public stockholders of WMS and names as defendants WMS, its directors and Scientific Games Corporation. The Shaev, Hornsby, Barresi and Plumbers & Pipefitters actions also name SGI and our subsidiary, SG California Merger Sub, Inc., as defendants. The complaints generally allege that the WMS directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with their consideration and approval of the merger and that we aided and abetted those alleged breaches. The complaints seek, among other relief, declaratory judgment and an injunction against the merger. On February 25, 2013, the Delaware Court of Chancery consolidated the Delaware actions under In re WMS Industries Inc. Stockholders Litigation (C.A. No VCP). On March 1, 2013, the plaintiffs in the consolidated Delaware actions filed an amended complaint adding allegations that the disclosures in WMS' preliminary proxy statement were inadequate. The outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with any certainty. An adverse judgment for monetary damages could have a material adverse effect on the operations and liquidity of WMS or us, as the case may be, and therefore could adversely affect the combined business if the merger is completed. A preliminary injunction could delay or jeopardize the completion of the merger, and an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin completion of the merger. We and WMS believe that the claims asserted in the lawsuits are without merit and plan to defend against them vigorously. Additional lawsuits arising out of or relating to the merger agreement or the merger may be filed in the future.

(23) Subsequent Events On January 30, 2013, we entered into a merger agreement with WMS, SGI, and SG California Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Scientific Games ( Merger Sub ). The merger agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into WMS, with WMS surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Scientific Games. In the merger, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.50 per share, of WMS, other than any dissenting shares, restricted shares, shares held by Scientific Games or Merger Sub and WMS treasury shares, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $26.00 in cash, without interest (the Merger Consideration ). At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding WMS stock option granted prior to January 30, 2013 will be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the number of shares underlying 143
174 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (in thousands, except per share amounts) (23) Subsequent Events (Continued) the WMS stock option multiplied by the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price, if any. In addition, each outstanding award of WMS restricted shares, restricted stock units and phantom units will be cancelled as of the effective time, in exchange for the right of the holder to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares underlying each award, except for certain equity awards that are permitted to be granted by WMS following January 30, 2013 (including employee stock options), which will be converted into equivalent awards of Scientific Games using a customary exchange ratio of WMS stock price to Scientific Games stock price on the closing date. As of the effective time, each outstanding award of WMS performance units will be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares underlying the performance units at the applicable payout percentage, which will be 100% unless the relevant performance targets are met or exceeded as of the effective time, in which case the payout percentage will be determined based on actual performance. The closing of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval of the merger by WMS stockholders and other approvals by various authorities. The parties have agreed that receipt of gaming approvals from approximately 50 jurisdictions is a condition to closing of the merger, provided that receipt of gaming approvals from approximately 30 of these jurisdictions will cease to be a condition to closing from and after October 31, We believe that the approximately 50 jurisdictions include the material jurisdictions from which gaming approvals will be required prior to closing.

188 Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Initial Lenders commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Bank Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Bank Facilities constitute a condition to the availability of the Bank Facilities on the Closing Date. The Joint Bookrunners may commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter and as part of their syndication efforts it is their intent to have Lenders commit to the Bank Facilities prior to the Closing Date (subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph). Until the earlier of (i) the date upon which a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter referred to below) is achieved and (ii) the 60 th day following the Closing Date (the Syndication Date ), you agree to assist (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist) the Joint Bookrunners in completing a syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to us and you. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit from your existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) your providing direct contact between appropriate members of senior management, certain representatives and certain non-legal advisors of you, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such contact between appropriate members of senior management of the Company, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand), in all such cases at times mutually agreed upon, (c) your assistance (including the use of commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist) in the preparation of the Information Materials and other customary offering and marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication, (d) using your commercially reasonable efforts to procure prior to or concurrent with the launch of the syndication, at your expense, ratings (but not specific ratings) for the Bank Facilities from each of Standard & Poor s Ratings Services ( S&P ) and Moody s Investors Service, Inc. ( Moody s ), and a public corporate credit rating and a public corporate family rating (but not specific ratings in either case) in respect of the Borrower after giving effect to the Transactions from each of S&P and Moody s, respectively, (e) the hosting, with the Joint Bookrunners, of a reasonable number of meetings of prospective Lenders at times and locations to be mutually agreed upon (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause appropriate officers of the Company to be available for such meetings) and (f) prior to the Syndication Date, there being no competing issues, offerings or placements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of you or any of your subsidiaries (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure there are no competing issues, offerings or placements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries) being offered, placed or arranged (other than (i) the Bank Facilities, (ii) replacements, extensions and renewals of existing indebtedness that matures prior to the Syndication Date or (iii) any other indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Merger Agreement) without the consent of the Joint Bookrunners, if such issuance, offering, placement or arrangement would reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Bank Facilities (it being understood that the Borrower s and the Company s and their respective subsidiaries ordinary course short term working capital facilities and ordinary course capital lease, purchase money and equipment financings will not materially impair the syndication of the Bank Facilities). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the 4 NY\
189 Transactions to the contrary, the obtaining of the ratings referenced above shall not constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Bank Facilities on the Closing Date. In furtherance of the foregoing (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, in limitation of your general obligations pursuant to the foregoing), you agree and acknowledge that the Joint Bookrunners may determine to launch the syndication and conduct the meetings of prospective Lenders referred to above on or after September 3, 2013, and in such event you hereby agree to provide all information and assistance contemplated by this paragraph, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to procure the ratings referred to above, at such times in advance of such launch of syndication as will allow the Joint Bookrunners to launch syndication at such time. The Joint Bookrunners, in their capacities as such, will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of any syndication of the Bank Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (subject to your consent rights set forth in the second preceding paragraph with respect to the Revolving Facility and excluding Disqualified Lenders), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. To assist the Joint Bookrunners in their syndication efforts, you agree to promptly prepare and provide (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to provide) to us all customary and reasonably available information with respect to you, the Company and each of your and its respective subsidiaries and the Transactions, including customary financial information and projections prepared by the Borrower or the Company and reasonably available to you (including financial estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information, the Projections ), as the Joint Bookrunners may reasonably request in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Bank Facilities. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality binding upon, or waive any privilege that may be asserted by, you, the Company or any of your respective affiliates; provided that in the event that you do not provide information in reliance on this sentence, you shall provide notice to the Joint Bookrunners that such information is being withheld. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the only financial statements that shall be required to be provided to the Commitment Parties in connection with the syndication of the Bank Facilities shall be those required to be delivered pursuant to Exhibit C hereto. You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Joint Bookrunners will make available Information (as defined below), Projections and other customary offering and marketing materials and presentations, including confidential information memoranda to be used in connection with the syndication of the Bank Facilities (the Information Memorandum ) (such Information, Projections, other customary offering and marketing materials and the Information Memorandum, collectively, with the Term Sheet, the Information Materials ) on a confidential basis to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on Intralinks, Debt X, SyndTrak Online or by similar electronic means and (b) certain of the Lenders may be public side Lenders (i.e., Lenders who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to you or the Company or your or the Company s respective securities that do not wish to receive material information with respect to you, the Company or your or its 5 NY\
190 securities that is not publicly available) ( MNPI ) (any such Lenders each, a Public Sider and each Lender that is not a Public Sider, a Private Sider ). At the reasonable request of the Joint Bookrunners, you agree to assist (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist) us in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Bank Facilities that does not include MNPI (all such information and documentation being Public Information ) to be used by Public Siders. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, the Borrower shall provide us with customary authorization letters for inclusion in any Information Materials that authorize the distribution thereof to prospective Lenders (which letters shall in each case include a customary 10b-5 representation), represent that the additional version of the Information Materials does not include any information that would be MNPI and exculpate you, the Company and us with respect to any liability related to the unauthorized use or misuse of the contents of the Information Materials or related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Siders as containing solely Public Information, which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word PUBLIC shall appear prominently on the first page thereof. By marking Information Materials as PUBLIC, you shall be deemed to have authorized the Commitment Parties and the proposed Lenders to treat such Information Materials as not containing any MNPI (it being understood that you shall not be under any obligation to mark any particular Information Materials PUBLIC ). You agree that, unless expressly identified as Public Information, each document to be disseminated by the Joint Bookrunners (or any other agent) to any Lender in connection with the Bank Facilities will be deemed to contain MNPI and we will not make any such materials available to Public Siders. You acknowledge and agree that, subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Commitment Letter, the following documents may be distributed to both Private Siders and Public Siders, unless you advise the Joint Bookrunners in writing (including by ) within a reasonable time prior (provided that such materials have been provided to you and your counsel for review a reasonable period of time prior thereto) to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to Private Siders: (a) administrative materials prepared by the Joint Bookrunners for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda), (b) term sheets and notification of changes in the Bank Facilities terms and conditions, and (c) drafts and final versions of the Bank Facilities Documentation (as defined in Exhibit B). If you advise us in writing (including by ) that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to Private Siders, then Public Siders will not receive such materials without your consent. You will be solely responsible for the contents of the Information Memorandum and each of the Commitment Parties shall be entitled to use and rely upon the information contained therein without responsibility for independent verification thereof. 4. Information. 6 NY\
191 You hereby represent and warrant that, (a) to the best of your knowledge as to the Company and its subsidiaries and businesses, all written factual information and written data (other than the Projections and other than information of a general economic or industry specific nature, the Information ), that has been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by you or by any of your representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole after giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto, is or will be, when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by you or by any of your representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been, or will be, prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by you to be reasonable at the time prepared and at the time the related Projections are so furnished; it being understood that the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material. You agree that, if at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and the Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will (with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, will use commercially reasonable efforts to) promptly supplement the Information and the Projections such that (with respect to the Information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, to the best of your knowledge) such representations and warranties are correct in all material respects under those circumstances. In arranging and syndicating the Bank Facilities, each of the Commitment Parties (i) will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof and (ii) does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or the Projections. 5. Fees. As consideration for the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder and for the agreement of the Joint Bookrunners to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay (or cause to be paid) the fees set forth in the Term Sheet and in the Amended and Restated Fee Letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith with respect to the Bank Facilities (the Fee Letter ), if and to the extent payable. Once paid, such fees shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 6. Conditions.

192 herein are subject solely to (a) the conditions set forth in the section entitled Conditions to All Borrowings in Exhibit B hereto and (b) the conditions set forth in Exhibit C hereto and, upon satisfaction (or waiver by all Commitment Parties) of such conditions and the condition in the next succeeding paragraph, the initial funding of the Bank Facilities shall occur. In addition, the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder are subject to the execution and delivery of (a) the Bank Facilities Documentation (to be initially prepared by counsel to the Borrower), based on the credit agreement specified in the Fee Letter (and in no event more restrictive to the Borrower than the terms and conditions of the Existing Borrower Credit Agreement or the Existing Company Credit Agreement (each as defined in Exhibit A), with (i) modifications as are necessary to reflect the other terms set forth in this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and to give due regard to the Borrower Model (as defined in Exhibit B), the operational and strategic requirements of Holdings and its subsidiaries (including as to the operational and strategic requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries) in light of their industries, businesses, geographic locations, business practices, financial accounting, proposed business plan and the disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement, in each case after giving pro forma effect to the Transactions, (ii) modifications to reflect changes in law or accounting standards since the date of such precedent and (iii) modifications to reflect administrative and operational requirements reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (the provisions of such facilities being referred to collectively as Specified Precedent ), and (b) customary legal opinions, customary evidence of authorization and a solvency certificate of Holdings chief financial officer in substantially the form of Annex I to Exhibit C hereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter (including each of the exhibits attached hereto), the Fee Letter, the Bank Facilities Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (i) the only representations the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Bank Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (A) such of the representations in the Merger Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you (or your affiliate) have the right to terminate your (or its) obligations under the Merger Agreement or to decline to consummate the Acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations in the Merger Agreement (to such extent, the Specified Merger Agreement Representations ) and (B) the Specified Representations (as defined below) in the Bank Facilities Documentation and (ii) the terms of the Bank Facilities Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Bank Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in this Section 6, in the section entitled Conditions to All Borrowings in Exhibit B hereto, and in Exhibit C hereto are satisfied (it being understood that, to the extent any security interest in any Collateral is not or cannot be provided and/or perfected on the Closing Date (other than the pledge and perfection of the security interests in equity securities of the Borrower and its material, wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (to the extent required under the terms of Exhibit B hereto) and assets with respect to which a lien may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code; provided that stock certificates of the Company s subsidiaries will only be required to be delivered on the Closing Date to the extent received from the Company) after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so or without undue burden or expense, then the provision and/or perfection of a security interest in such Collateral shall not 8 NY\
193 constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Bank Facilities on the Closing Date, but instead shall be required to be delivered after the Closing Date pursuant to arrangements and timing to be mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting reasonably). Those matters that are not covered by or made clear under the provisions of this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet or the Fee Letter are subject to the approval and agreement of the Joint Bookrunners and you; provided that such approvals and agreements shall be in a manner that is consistent with the Term Sheet and customary and appropriate for transactions of this type consistent with the Documentation & Defined Terms paragraphs in Exhibit B hereto, and shall be subject to the Conditionality Provision.

Lenders with commitments under the Revolving Facility are collectively referred to as Revolving Lenders and the loans thereunder, together with (unless the context otherwise requires) the swingline borrowings referred to below, are collectively referred to as Revolving Loans. The Revolving Facility will be available, on terms to be agreed, to be drawn in U.S. dollars, euros, pounds sterling and other foreign currencies to be agreed. Swingline Loans: In connection with the Revolving Facility, Bank of America (in such capacity, the Swingline Lender ) will make available to the Borrower a swingline facility under which the Borrower may make short-term borrowings upon same-day notice (in minimum amounts to be mutually agreed upon and integral multiples to be agreed upon) of up to an amount to be agreed. Except for purposes of calculating the commitment fee described in Annex I hereto, any such swingline borrowings will reduce availability under the Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Upon notice from the Swingline Lender, the Revolving Lenders will be unconditionally obligated to purchase participations in any swingline loan pro rata based upon their commitments under the Revolving Facility. If any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender (as defined below), then the swingline exposure of such defaulting Revolving Lender will automatically be reallocated among the non-defaulting Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the B-2 NY\
217 Revolving Facility up to an amount such that the revolving credit exposure of such nondefaulting Revolving Lender does not exceed its commitments. In the event such reallocation does not fully cover the exposure of such defaulting Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lender may require the Borrower to repay such uncovered exposure in respect of the swingline loans and will have no obligation to make new swingline loans to the extent such swingline loans would exceed the commitments of non-defaulting Revolving Lenders. Incremental Facilities: The Bank Facilities Documentation (as defined below) will permit the Borrower to add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Bank Facilities (each, an Incremental Term Facility ) and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Facility (any such increase, an Incremental Revolving Increase ; the Incremental Term Facilities and the Incremental Revolving Increases are collectively referred to as Incremental Facilities ) in an aggregate principal amount for all such increases and incremental facilities not to exceed the sum of (x) $350 million and (y) an unlimited amount, so long as on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of any such Incremental Facility (and after giving effect to any acquisition consummated concurrently therewith and all other appropriate pro forma adjustment events and calculated as if any Incremental Revolving Increase were fully drawn on the effective date thereof), the First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in Documentation & Defined Terms) is equal to or less than 3.00:1.00 (it being understood that the Bank Facilities Documentation shall provide that any use of Incremental Facilities shall be deemed to use the ratio-based basket in clause (y) above to the extent complied with prior to any use of the basket in clause (x) above); provided that solely for the purpose of calculating the First Lien Leverage Ratio to determine the availability under the Incremental Facilities, (a) any such Incremental Facilities and/or Incremental Notes (as defined below) that are B-3 NY\
218 unsecured or secured on a junior basis shall nevertheless be deemed to be secured on a pari passu basis to the Bank Facilities and (b) any cash proceeds from an Incremental Facility being incurred at such test date in calculating such First Lien Leverage Ratio shall be excluded; provided further that (i) no existing Lender will be required to participate in any such Incremental Facility without its consent, (ii) no event of default under the Bank Facilities would exist after giving effect thereto (provided, that with respect to any Incremental Facilities requested with respect to any acquisition or other investment permitted under the Bank Facilities Documentation, the inaccuracy of representations and warranties shall not constitute an event of default (other than with respect to Specified Representations (conformed as necessary for such acquisition or investment)), if the inaccuracy of such representations and warranties is waived by the majority of the Lenders under such Incremental Facility), (iii) the maturity date of any such Incremental Term Facility shall be no earlier than the latest maturity date of the then outstanding Term Facility and the weighted average life of such Incremental Term Facility shall be not shorter than the then longest remaining weighted average life of the then outstanding Term Facility, (iv) in the case of an Incremental Revolving Increase, the maturity date of such Incremental Revolving Increase shall be the same as the maturity date of the Revolving Facility, such Incremental Revolving Increase shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility and the Incremental Revolving Increase shall be on the same terms (other than upfront fees payable in connection therewith) and pursuant to the exact same documentation applicable to the Revolving Facility, (v) the Incremental Facilities will have the same guarantees as, and be secured on a pari passu basis by the same collateral securing, the Bank Facilities, (vi) the interest rate margins and original issue discount or upfront fees (if any), interest rate floors (if any) and (subject to clause (iii)) amortization schedule applicable to B-4 NY\
219 any Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder; provided that if the "yield" (to be defined to include upfront fees and original issue discount on customary terms and any interest rate floor but excluding customary arrangement fees and commitment fees paid to the arrangers) of any Incremental Term Facility exceeds the yield on the applicable Term Facility by more than 50 basis points, the applicable margins for such applicable Term Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the yield on such applicable Term Facility is 50 basis points less than the yield on the Incremental Term Facility; provided that, if the Adjusted LIBOR rate (as defined in Annex I hereto) in respect of such Incremental Term Facility includes a floor greater than the floor applicable to the analogous existing Term Facility, such increased amount shall be equated to interest rate for purposes of determining the applicable interest rate under such Incremental Term Facility; provided that this clause (vi) shall not be applicable to any Incremental Term Facility which is incurred more than 18 months after the Closing Date; and (vii) any Incremental Term Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined; provided further that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Term Facility or the Revolving Facility, as the case may be (except to the extent permitted above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Bank Facilities Documentation will not include any financial test with respect to the Incremental Facilities (other than as expressly set forth above). The Borrower may seek commitments in respect of the Incremental Facilities from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders or investors (other than Disqualified Lenders) who will become Lenders in connection therewith ( Additional Lenders ); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consent rights (not B-5 NY\
220 to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to such Additional Lender, if such consent would be required under the heading Assignments and Participations in this Term Sheet for an assignment of loans or commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender; provided further that solely with respect to any Incremental Revolving Increase, the Swingline Lender and Issuing Banks (as defined below) shall have consent rights (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to such Additional Lender, if such consent would be required under the heading Assignments and Participations in this Term Sheet for an assignment of revolving loans or commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Lender. The Bank Facilities will permit the Borrower to utilize availability under the Incremental Facilities to issue notes that are (at the option of the Borrower) unsecured or secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis ( Incremental Notes ); provided that such notes (i) do not mature prior to the date that is 91 days after the latest final stated maturity of, or have a shorter weighted average life than the longest remaining weighted average life of the then outstanding Term Facility, (ii) have covenants and defaults no more restrictive (excluding pricing and optional prepayment or redemption terms), when taken as a whole, than those under the Term Facility (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the Term Facility), (iii) do not require mandatory prepayments to be made except to the extent required to be applied first pro rata to the Term Facility and any first lien secured Incremental Notes, (iv) to the extent secured, shall not be secured by any lien on any asset of any Borrower or any Guarantor (as defined below) that does not also secure the existing Term Facility, or be guaranteed by any person other than the Guarantors, and (v) to the extent secured, shall be subject to intercreditor terms in a form to be agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and attached as an exhibit to the Bank Facilities Documentation. B-6 NY\
221 Refinancing Facilities: The Bank Facilities Documentation will permit the Borrower to refinance loans under the Term Facility or commitments under the Revolving Facility from time to time, in whole or part, with one or more new term loan facilities (each, a Refinancing Term Facility ) or new revolving credit facilities (each, a Refinancing Revolving Facility ; the Refinancing Term Facilities and the Refinancing Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to as Refinancing Facilities ), respectively, under the Bank Facilities Documentation with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and the institutions providing such Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility or, in the case of loans under the Term Facility, with one or more additional series of senior unsecured notes or loans or senior secured notes or loans that will be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Bank Facilities or second lien secured notes or loans, which will be subject to customary intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (any such notes or loans, Refinancing Notes ); provided that (i) (A) with respect to Refinancing Notes, such Refinancing Notes do not mature, or have a weighted average life to maturity, earlier than 91 days after the final maturity, or the weighted average life, of the loans under the Term Facility being refinanced, and (B) with respect to any Refinancing Term Facility, such Refinancing Term Facility does not mature, or have a weighted average life to maturity, earlier than the final maturity, or the weighted average life, of the loans under the Term Facility being refinanced, (ii) any Refinancing Notes are not subject to any amortization prior to final maturity and are not subject to mandatory redemption or prepayment (except customary asset sales or change of control provisions), except to the extent required to be applied first pro rata to the Term Facility and any first lien secured Refinancing Notes, (iii) any Refinancing Revolving Facility does not mature prior to the maturity date of the revolving commitments being refinanced, B-7 NY\
222 (iv) the other terms and conditions of such Refinancing Term Facility, Refinancing Revolving Facility or Refinancing Notes (excluding pricing and optional prepayment or redemption terms) are substantially identical to, or (when taken as a whole) less favorable to the investors providing such Refinancing Term Facility, Refinancing Revolving Facility or Refinancing Notes, as applicable, than, those applicable to the Term Facility or revolving commitments being refinanced (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest final maturity date of the Term Facility and revolving credit commitments existing at the time of such refinancing) and (v) the proceeds of such Refinancing Facilities shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata prepayment of outstanding loans (and, in the case of the Revolving Facility, pro rata commitment reductions) under the applicable Bank Facility being so refinanced. Purpose: (A) The proceeds of the borrowings under the Term Facility (and the Revolving Facility, subject to a cap as set forth below under Availability) on the Closing Date shall be used to pay the Acquisition Costs. (B) The letters of credit and proceeds of Revolving Loans (except as set forth above and below) will be used by the Borrower and its subsidiaries for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of permitted acquisitions and other permitted investments. Availability: (A) The Term Facility will be available in a single drawing on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under the Term Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. (B) letter of credit usage) will be made available on and The Revolving Facility (exclusive of B-8 NY\
223 after the Closing Date, including to finance Acquisition Costs on the Closing Date (provided that on the Closing Date, the Revolving Facility will only be available to finance (i) the Refinancing of revolving loans, (ii) purchase price or working capital adjustments up to an amount to be agreed, and (iii) additional upfront fees, original issue discount or ticking fees imposed under the market flex provisions of the Fee Letter). Additionally, letters of credit may be issued on the Closing Date in order to, among other things, backstop or replace letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date (including by grandfathering such existing letters of credit in the Revolving Facility) under facilities no longer available to the Borrower, the Company or their respective subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. Otherwise, letters of credit and Revolving Loans will be available at any time prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed upon. Amounts repaid under the Revolving Facility may be reborrowed. Interest Rates and Fees: As set forth on Annex I hereto. Default Rate: With respect to overdue principal, the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum, and with respect to any other overdue amount (including overdue interest), the interest rate applicable to ABR loans (as defined in Annex I hereto) plus 2.00% per annum and in each case, shall be payable on demand. Letters of Credit: An aggregate amount to be agreed of the Revolving Facility will be available to the Borrower for the purpose of issuing letters of credit. Letters of credit under the Revolving Facility will be issued by Bank of America and/or other Lenders reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) who agree to issue letters of B-9 NY\
224 credit (each an Issuing Bank ). Each letter of credit shall expire not later than the earlier of (a) 12 months after its date of issuance or such longer period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and (b) the third business day prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility; provided that any letter of credit may provide for renewal thereof for additional periods of up to 12 months or such longer period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank (which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above, except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Bank). The face amount of any outstanding letter of credit (and, without duplication, any unpaid drawing in respect thereof) will reduce availability under the Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Drawings under any letter of credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrower (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of loans under the Revolving Facility) within one business day after notice of such drawing is received by the Borrower from the relevant Issuing Bank. The Revolving Lenders will be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated during the term of the Revolving Facility to acquire participations in each letter of credit, pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the Revolving Facility, and to fund such participations in the event the Borrower does not reimburse an Issuing Bank for drawings made at any time on or prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility. If any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the letter of credit exposure of such defaulting Revolving Lender will automatically be reallocated among the non-defaulting Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their commitments under the Revolving Facility up to an amount such that the revolving credit exposure of such non-defaulting Revolving Lender does not exceed its commitments. In the event that such reallocation does not fully cover the exposure of such B-10 NY\
225 defaulting Revolving Lender, the applicable Issuing Bank may require the Borrower to cash collateralize such uncovered exposure in respect of each outstanding letter of credit and will have no obligation to issue new letters of credit, or to extend, renew or amend existing letters of credit to the extent letter of credit exposure would exceed the commitments of the nondefaulting Revolving Lenders, unless such uncovered exposure is cash collateralized to such Issuing Bank s reasonable satisfaction. Final Maturity and Amortization: (A) Term Facility Subject to the Maturity Acceleration (as defined below), the Term Facility will mature on the date that is 7 years after the Closing Date and will amortize in equal quarterly installments, commencing with the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date, in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the Term Facility, with the balance payable on the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that the Bank Facilities Documentation shall provide the right for individual Lenders under the Term Facility to agree to extend the maturity date of all or a portion of the outstanding Term Loans (which may include, among other things, an increase in the interest rate payable with respect to such extended Term Loans, with such extension not subject to any financial test or most favored nation pricing provision) upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent of any other Lender; it being understood that each Lender under the applicable tranche or tranches that are being extended shall have the opportunity to participate in such extension on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender in such tranche or tranches; provided, further that it is understood that no existing Lender will have any obligation to commit to any such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term Facility will mature on the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity B-11 NY\
226 of (a) the 2018 Notes, if on that date, any 2018 Notes remain outstanding, (b) the 2019 Notes, if on that date, any 2019 Notes remain outstanding, or (c) the 2020 Notes, if on that date, any 2020 Notes remain outstanding (any such event specified in clauses (a), (b) or (c), a Maturity Acceleration ); provided that the Maturity Acceleration shall not apply in the event that, on the applicable date that such Maturity Acceleration would otherwise occur, Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries have liquidity at least equal to the sum of (I) the outstanding principal amount of the notes next maturing (and triggering such Maturity Acceleration), plus (II) $50,000,000. (B) Revolving Facility Subject to the Maturity Acceleration, the Revolving Facility will mature, and lending commitments thereunder will terminate, on the date that is 5 years after the Closing Date; provided that the Bank Facilities Documentation shall provide the right of individual Revolving Lenders to agree to extend the maturity of all or a portion of their Revolving Facility commitments (which may include, among other things, an increase in the interest rate payable with respect to such extended Revolving Facility commitments) upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent of any other Lender; it being understood that each Lender under the applicable tranche or tranches that are being extended shall have the opportunity to participate in such extension on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender in such tranche or tranches; provided, further that it is understood that no existing Lender will have any obligation to commit to any such extension. Guarantees: All obligations of the Borrower (the Borrower Bank Obligations ) under the Bank Facilities and, at the option of the Borrower, under any interest rate protection or other swap or hedging arrangements or cash management arrangements entered into with a Lender, the Administrative Agent or any affiliate of a Lender or the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date (or who B-12 NY\
227 becomes a Lender or an affiliate thereof within 30 days of the Closing Date) or at the time of entering into of such arrangements and designated by the Borrower as Hedging/Cash Management Obligations ( Hedging /Cash Management Arrangements ) will be unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured first-lien basis (the Bank Guarantees ) by Holdings and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly owned restricted subsidiary of the Borrower (including the Company and its applicable subsidiaries, subject to the limitations noted herein) formed under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia (the Guarantors ); provided that Guarantors shall not include, (a) unrestricted subsidiaries, (b) immaterial subsidiaries (to be defined in a mutually acceptable manner as to individual and aggregate revenues or assets excluded), (c) any subsidiary that is prohibited or restricted by applicable law, rule or regulation or by any contractual obligation existing on the Closing Date or at the time of acquisition thereof after the Closing Date, in each case, from guaranteeing the Bank Facilities or which would require governmental (including regulatory) consent, approval, license or authorization to provide a Bank Guarantee unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received or which would result in a material adverse tax consequence to the Borrower or one of its subsidiaries (including as a result of the operation of Section 956 of the IRS Code or any similar law or regulation in any applicable jurisdiction) as reasonably determined by the Borrower, (d) not-for-profit subsidiaries, if any, (e) foreign subsidiaries, (f) any direct or indirect domestic subsidiary of a foreign subsidiary, (g) any domestic restricted subsidiary substantially all of the assets of which constitute the equity of foreign subsidiaries(a FSHCO ) and (h) certain special purpose entities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, additional subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements in circumstances where the Borrower and the B-13 NY\
228 Administrative Agent reasonably agree that the cost of providing such a guarantee is excessive in relation to the value afforded thereby. Security: Subject to the limitations set forth below in this section and subject to the Conditionality Provision, the Borrower Bank Obligations, the Bank Guarantees and, at the option of the Borrower, the Hedging/Cash Management Arrangements will be secured by: (a) a perfected first-priority (subject to permitted liens) pledge of the equity securities of the Borrower and of each direct, restricted subsidiary of the Borrower and of each subsidiary Guarantor (provided that except as set forth below, any such pledge of the equity securities of a subsidiary organized under laws other than the United States or any state thereof shall not be required to be perfected under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization) and (b) perfected firstpriority (subject to permitted liens) security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible personal property and material fee-owned real property of Holdings, the Borrower and each subsidiary Guarantor (including but not limited to accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles (including contract rights), investment property, intellectual property, material intercompany notes and proceeds of the foregoing) (the items described in clauses (a) and (b) above, but excluding the Excluded Assets (as defined below), collectively, the Collateral ).

Mandatory prepayments shall be applied, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of B-17 NY\
232 Adjusted LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period, to the next scheduled installments of principal of the Term Facility in direct order of maturity. Any Lender may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment (each a Declining Lender ). Any prepayment amount declined by a Declining Lender ( Declined Amounts ) may be retained by the Borrower and shall increase the Available Amount Basket (as defined below).

242 The Financial Covenant shall be set at levels providing at least a 35% cushion (with no step-downs) in EBITDA above the EBITDA level set forth in the model provided in the Information Memorandum for the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date (the Borrower Model ), which model shall be the last model delivered to each of the Joint Bookrunners on January 27, 2013 (together with any updates or modifications thereto reasonably agreed between the Borrower and the Joint Bookrunners or as necessary to reflect any exercise of "market flex" pursuant to the Fee Letter and, to the extent not reflected in the Borrower Model, any OID). For purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenant, any cash equity contribution (which shall be common equity or otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) made to the Borrower after a time to be agreed and on or prior to the day that is 10 business days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for such fiscal quarter will, at the request of the Borrower, be included in the calculation of consolidated EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenant at the end of such fiscal quarter and applicable subsequent periods which include such fiscal quarter (any such equity contribution so included in the calculation of consolidated EBITDA, a Specified Equity Contribution ); provided that (a) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Specified Equity Contribution is made and no more than five Specified Equity Contributions may be made during the term of the Bank Facilities, (b) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenant, (c) all Specified Equity Contributions shall be disregarded for purposes of determining any financial ratio-based conditions, pricing or any baskets with respect to the covenants contained in the Bank Facilities Documentation B-28 NY\
243 and (d) there shall be no pro forma or other reduction in indebtedness with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution for determining compliance with the financial covenant for the fiscal quarter in which such Specified Equity Contribution is made. Unrestricted Subsidiaries: The Bank Facilities Documentation will contain provisions pursuant to which, subject to limitations to be agreed consistent with Specified Precedent (including on loans, advances, guarantees and other investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, and transactions with affiliates), the Borrower will be permitted to designate any existing or subsequently acquired or organized subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary and subsequently re-designate any such unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary so long as (w) no event of default then exists or would result therefrom, (x) after giving effect to any such designation or re-designation, if the financial covenant is then required to be tested, the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenant in the Bank Facilities Documentation recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are made available, (y) the designation of any unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any indebtedness or liens of such subsidiary existing at such time and (z) the fair market value of such subsidiary at the time it is designated as an unrestricted subsidiary shall be treated as an investment by the Borrower at such time. Unrestricted subsidiaries will not be subject to the representation and warranties, affirmative or negative covenant or event of default provisions of the Bank Facilities Documentation and the results of operations and indebtedness of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of determining compliance with any financial ratio or covenant contained in the Bank Facilities Documentation. Events of Default: Consistent with Specified Precedent and limited to the following (to be applicable to Holdings, B-29 NY\

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments and waivers of the financial covenant shall only require the approval of Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the commitments under the Revolving Facility (other than any Defaulting Lender). The Bank Facilities Documentation shall contain customary provisions consistent with Specified Precedent for replacing non-consenting Lenders in connection with amendments and waivers requiring the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders directly affected thereby so long as Lenders holding at least 50% of the aggregate amount of the loans and commitments under the Bank Facilities shall have consented thereto.

In addition, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature in the Bank Facilities Documentation, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision without any further action or consent of any other party if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent within 5 business days following receipt of notice thereof.

247 Lender or an approved fund related thereto and (B) no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required with respect to assignment of any Term Loans, if such assignment is an assignment to another Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an approved fund. Each assignment (other than to another Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an approved fund) will be in an amount of an integral multiple of $1 million in the case of the Term Facility and a minimum amount of $5 million in the case of the Revolving Facility (or lesser amounts, if agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) or, if less, all of such Lender s remaining loans and commitments of the applicable class. Assignments will be by novation and will not be required to be pro rata among the Bank Facilities. The Administrative Agent shall receive from the applicable assignor or assignee a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment (it being understood that such recordation fee shall not apply to any assignments by any of the Initial Lenders or any of their affiliates).

250 ANNEX I to EXHIBIT B Interest Rates: The interest rates under the Bank Facilities will be as follows: Revolving Facility: At the option of the Borrower, initially, Adjusted LIBOR plus 3.00% or ABR plus 2.00%. Term Facility: At the option of the Borrower, initially, Adjusted LIBOR plus 3.00% or ABR plus 2.00%. All swingline loans will be ABR loans. From and after the delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of the Borrower s financial statements (or that of a direct or indirect parent of the Borrower to be agreed) for the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrower completed after the Closing Date, interest rate spreads with respect to the Revolving Facility shall be determined by reference to the following pricing grid: First Lien Leverage Ratio Applicable Margin for Adjusted LIBOR Applicable Margin for ABR > 3.00: % 2.00% 3.00:1.00 and > 2.00: % 1.75% 2.00: % 1.50% Bank Facilities The Borrower may elect interest periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 months (or, if available to all relevant Lenders, 9 or 12 months) for Adjusted LIBOR borrowings. Calculation of interest shall be on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of ABR loans based on the prime rate). Interest shall be payable in arrears (a) for loans accruing interest at a rate based on Adjusted LIBOR, at the end of each interest period and, for interest periods of greater than three
251 months, every three months, and on the applicable maturity date and (b) for loans accruing interest based on the ABR, quarterly in arrears and on the applicable maturity date. ABR is the Alternate Base Rate, which is the highest of (i) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Wall Street Journal as the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1.0% and (iii) the one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum. Adjusted LIBOR is the London interbank offered rate for dollars, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements. There shall be a minimum Adjusted LIBOR (i.e., Adjusted LIBOR prior to adding any applicable interest rate margins thereto) requirement of 1.00% per annum and a minimum ABR of 2.00%, applicable to the Term Facility only. Letter of Credit Fee: A per annum fee equal to the spread over Adjusted LIBOR under the Revolving Facility will accrue on the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility, payable in arrears at the end of each quarter and upon the termination of the respective letter of credit, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. Such fees shall be distributed to the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Lender s Revolving Facility commitment, with exceptions for Defaulting Lenders. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (a) a fronting fee equal to 0.125% upon the aggregate face amount of outstanding letters of credit, payable in arrears at the end of each quarter and upon the termination of the Revolving Facility, calculated based upon the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year and (b) customary issuance and administration fees. Commitment Fees: The Borrower shall pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility (with step-down to 0.375% per annum on such portion if the First Lien Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to a level to be agreed), payable quarterly in arrears commencing with the last business day of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date, calculated based upon the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. Such fees shall be distributed to the Revolving Lenders (other than the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such) pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Lender s Revolving Facility commitment, with exceptions for Defaulting Lenders.

272 Exhibit 99.1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Equity holders of Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l. We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l. at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. /s/ Reconta Ernst & Young S.p.A.

279 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) 1. Corporate information Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l. (hereinafter LN or the Company ) is a company established in May 2010 and organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy. The head office of the Company is located in Rome, Italy. The Company's operations are entirely in the Republic of Italy. In the month of August 2010, the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finances granted to LN the exclusive concession to operate various national Traditional and Instant lotteries, including Scratch and Win ( S&W ) instant games. The concession granted to LN by the Ministry entity Amministrazione Autonoma dei Monopoli di Stato (hereinafter AAMS ) has a nine year duration with respect to Traditional and Instant Lotteries which are available through various vendors located throughout Italy, mainly at tobacco shops, cafès, bars, motorway restaurants and newspaper stands (collectively, Points of Sale or PoS ). The Company's deed of association assigns to all of its shareholders specific roles in the Company's business activities as follows: Lottomatica Group S.p.A., directly and indirectly through Scratch & Win Holding S.p.A., (the parent of the Company and formerly Lottomatica S.p.A.): its role includes the design and coordination of the Company's overall operations including management of the marketing and accounting functions, collection of wagers from Points of Sales, administration of periodic drawings, and procurement of software and hardware for Points of Sale; Scientific Games International: its role includes design and production of instant lottery tickets; Arianna 2001 S.p.A.: its role includes serving as the secure depository and manager of the instant lottery tickets inventory; Servizi Base 2001 S.p.A.: its role includes management of the instant lottery ticket distribution to the Points of Sale. 2.1 Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below for certain derivative financial instruments which are measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in thousands of Euro unless otherwise indicated. The financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and for the year then ended were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution dated February 22, Statement of Compliance The financial statements of LN have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ). 2.2 Changes in accounting policy The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows. The Company has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ( IFRIC ) interpretations during the year effective as of January 1, Adoption of these new and amended standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company. IAS 12 Income Taxes (Amendment) - Deferred Taxes: Recovery of Underlying Assets; IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (Amendment) - Severe F-7
280 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-Time Adopters IFRS 7 Financial Instruments - Enhanced Derecognition Disclosure Requirements; Improvements to IFRSs (May 2012). The principal effects of these changes are as follows: IAS 12 Income Taxes (Amendment) - Deferred Taxes: Recovery of Underlying Assets The amendment clarified the determination of deferred tax on investment property measured at fair value and introduces a rebuttable presumption that deferred tax on investment property measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 should be determined on the basis that its carrying amount will be recovered through sale. It includes the requirement that deferred tax on non-depreciable assets that are measured using the revaluation model in IAS 16 should always be measured on a sale basis. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 and has been no effect on the Company's financial position, performance or its disclosures. IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (Amendment) - Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-Time Adopters The IASB provided guidance on how an entity should resume presenting IFRS financial statements when its functional currency ceases to be subject to hyperinflation. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July The amendment had no impact to the Company. IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Enhanced Derecognition Disclosure Requirements The amendment requires additional disclosure about financial assets that have been transferred but not derecognised to enable the user of the Company's financial statements to understand the relationship with those assets that have not been derecognised and their associated liabilities. In addition, the amendment requires disclosures about the entity's continuing involvement in derecognised assets to enable the users to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, such involvement. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July The Company does not have any assets with these characteristics so there has been no effect on the presentation of its financial statements. 2.3 International Financial Reporting Standards to be adopted in 2013 and later The IASB and IFRIC issued additional standards and interpretations which are effective for periods starting after the date of these financial statements and therefore have yet to be adopted by LN as described below. IAS 1 Financial Statement Presentation - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income Items that could be reclassified (or 'recycled') to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, net gain on hedge of net investment, exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, net movement on cash flow hedges and net loss or gain on available-for-sale financial assets) would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified (for example, actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit plans and revaluation of land and buildings). The amendment does not affect presentation and has no impact on the Company's financial position or performance. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012, and will therefore be applied in the Company's first annual report after becoming effective. IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Amendment) The IASB has issued numerous amendments to IAS 19. These range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re-wording. As the Company has no personnel, the changes do not affect presentation and have no impact on the Company's financial position or performance. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January F-8
281 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011) The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12. IAS 28 has been renamed IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. The Company does not have investments in associates and joint ventures, as such the adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IAS 32 These amendments clarify the meaning of currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off. The amendments also clarify the application of the IAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. These amendments are not expected to impact the Company's financial position or performance and become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January IFRS 1 Government Loans - Amendments to IFRS 1 These amendments require first-time adopters to apply the requirements of IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, prospectively to government loans existing at the date of transition to IFRS. Entities may choose to apply the requirements of IFRS 9 (or IAS 39, as applicable) and IAS 20 to government loans retrospectively if the information needed to do so had been obtained at the time of initially accounting for that loan. The exception would give first-time adopters relief from retrospective measurement of government loans with a below-market rate of interest. The amendment is effective for annual periods on or after 1 January The amendment has no impact on the Company. IFRS 7 Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to IFRS 7 These amendments require an entity to disclose information about rights to set-off and related arrangements (e.g., collateral agreements). The disclosures would provide users with information that is useful in evaluating the effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position. The new disclosures are required for all recognised financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The disclosures also apply to recognised financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are set off in accordance with IAS 32. These amendments will not impact the Company's financial position or performance and become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement IFRS 9 as issued reflects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in IAS 39. The standard was initially effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, but Amendments to IFRS 9 Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, issued in December 2011, moved the mandatory effective date to 1 January In subsequent phases, the IASB will address hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 is not expected to have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Company's financial assets and liabilities. The Company will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture. IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also addresses the issues raised in SIC-12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The Company does not present consolidated financial statements, as such the adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company. This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 F-9
282 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities - Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. The Company does not have JCEs, as such the adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company. The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required. The adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company. IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company. Improvements to IFRSs In May 2012, the IASB issued its third omnibus of amendments to its standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. The amendments made can result in accounting changes for presentation, recognition and measurement. The adoption of such amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies but had no effect on the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company. IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. This improvement clarifies that an entity that stopped applying IFRS in the past and chooses, or is required, to apply IFRS, has the option to re-apply IFRS 1. If IFRS 1 is not re-applied, an entity must retrospectively restate its financial statements as if it had never stopped applying IFRS. IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This improvement clarifies the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally, the minimum required comparative information is theprevious period. IAS 16 Property Plant and Equipment. This improvement clarifies that major spare parts and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventory. IAS 32 Financial Instruments, Presentation. This improvement clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes. IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The amendment aligns the disclosure requirements for total segment assets with total segment liabilities in interim financial statements. This clarification also ensures that interim disclosures are aligned with annual disclosures. These improvements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result F-10
283 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future. Estimates and assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Deferred Tax Assets Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Inventories Inventories are measured by taking into account write-downs to certain categories of tickets that are no longer salable to points of sale as of result of either AAMS decisions or management's assessment regarding the marketability of these tickets in future years. Trade receivables Trade receivables recoverability is assessed by taking into account the risk of default, the aging and historical losses on receivables recognized for similar types of accounts. 2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies 2011 reclassification: Trade and other receivables/current financial assets from parent company Starting from January 1, 2012, in order to better reflect the nature of some routine transactions, the company reclassified certain amounts previously classified and disclosed as current financial assets from the parent company as trade receivables. The 2011 presentation and disclosure of such amounts have been reclassified accordingly. Deferred income taxes Starting from January 1, 2012, the company offset its deferred income taxes. The 2011 presentation and disclosure of such amounts have been reclassified accordingly. There was no impact to the 2011 statement of comprehensive income as a result of this reclassification. Foreign currency translation Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency spot rate at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. All differences are taken to profit or loss. Non monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Equipment, net Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and/or impairment losses.. Cost includes ancillary costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operating condition. Depreciation is calculated on straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows: Terminals and communication equipment Machinery and equipment 4 years Furniture and fittings 8 to 9 years 5 to 7 years F-11
284 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) The carrying values of systems and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. All repairs and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. A unit of equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. Intangible assets, net Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Software Licenses 3 years 3 years S&W Concession 9 years Others 2 to 5 years The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least annually at year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense for intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the income statement within the caption Depreciation, amortization and write-downs. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized. Impairment of non-financial assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows take into account the risks specific to the asset and are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase is a reversal of an impairment loss. The increased carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. At year end no impairment indicator were noted. F-12
285 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a specific identification basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Financial assets Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-tomaturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. The Company only has financial assets classified as loans and receivables and fair value through profit and loss. When financial assets are recognized initially on the trade date, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not recognized at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets on initial recognition. Trade receivables and other receivables Trade accounts receivable are subsequently measured at amortized cost less impairment. Impairment provisions or allowances for doubtful accounts are generally recorded when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the related receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. Short-term receivables are not discounted because the effect of discounting cash flows is immaterial. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet are comprised of cash at banks and on hand and short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations The Company classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be Financial liabilities. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the income statement. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held for sale. Financial liabilities at amortized cost All loans and borrowings and trade accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Short-term payables are not discounted because the effect of discounting cash flows is immaterial. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. F-13
286 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments and hedging The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risks associated with foreign currency related to the purchase of lottery tickets. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is in a gain position and as financial liabilities when the fair value is in a loss position. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives are taken directly to the income statement, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The fair value of such foreign currency forward contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. For the purpose of hedge accounting, the Company's derivatives are classified as cash flow hedges, when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment. At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument's fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated. Derivatives which meet the strict criteria for cash flow hedge accounting are accounted for as follows. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly as other comprehensive income in the net unrealized gain/(loss) reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Amounts recognized as other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the forecast transaction occurs. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or nonfinancial liability, the amounts recognized as other comprehensive income are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability. If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is transferred to the income statement. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income remains in other comprehensive income until the forecast transaction or firm commitment affects income or loss. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when: the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass through' arrangement; or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. F-14
287 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Whenever the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a borrowing cost. Revenue recognition Revenues are recognized to the extent that it is probable the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts and taxes. Specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized as discussed below. The Company's revenues derive from operating contracts. Under operating contracts, the Company manages all of the activities along the lottery value chain including collecting wagers, paying out prizes, managing all accounting and other back-office functions, running advertising and promotions, operating data transmission networks and processing centers, training staff, providing retailers with assistance and supplying materials for the game. The operating contracts generally provide for a variable amount of monthly service fees received through AAMS based on a percentage of instant and traditional lottery's total wagers. Fees earned under operating contracts are recognized as revenue in the period earned and are classified as Service Revenue in the statement of comprehensive income when all of the following criteria are met: Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, which is typically when a customer contract has been signed; Services have been rendered; The fee is deemed to be fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and Collectability is reasonably assured. Interest income and interest expense Interest income and interest expense are recognized as interest accrues (using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial assets or liabilities). Income taxes Current income tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, can be utilized. F-15
288 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. Income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income. 3. Equipment, net Equipment, net include Freely distributed assets ( FDA ), which are defined as those tangible assets originally determined to be transferred free of charge to the Ministry of Finance at the expiration of the concession agreement. These assets primarily relate to the Company's equipment in use by third parties (points of sale) to carry out activities related to Instant and Traditional lotteries. On January 2013, the company signed an agreement to sell certain equipment whose net book value equals to euro 3.3M.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values: Trade and other receivables, current financial assets from parent, other current assets, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, current financial liabilities to parent and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company executed foreign currency forward contracts with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. The fair value of these contracts was calculated principally F-27
300 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) by reference to forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The valuation techniques incorporated various inputs including the credit quality of the counterparty in a net liability position. Fair value hierarchy The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly Level 3: techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. At December 31, 2011, all of the Company's financial instruments were valued utilizing Level 2 fair value measurements. During the reporting period ended December 31, 2011, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

301 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) The Company's credit risk is derived from cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and other current assets balances. We maintain cash deposits and trade with only recognized, creditworthy third parties. We evaluate the collectability of trade accounts and sales receivables on a customer by customer basis. Trade and other receivables are reported net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts is generally recorded when objective evidence exists that we will not been able to collect the receivable. With respect to credit risk arising from financial assets of the Company, the Company's exposure arises only from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these balances. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk by dealing with major, financially sound counterparties with high-grade credit ratings and by limiting exposure to any one counterparty.

302 LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (thousands of Euro) Liquidity risk The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash generated by operating activities. The Company participates in a cash pooling agreement with the parent company, Lottomatica Group S.p.A., pursuant to which the Company's fund are swept daily into various cash pools managed by Lottomatica Group S.p.A.. We believe our ability to generate excess cash from operations to reinvest in our business is one of our fundamental financial strengths, and combined with our business cash generating capacity, we expect to meet our financial obligations and operating needs in the foreseeable future. We expect to use cash generated primarily from operating activities to meet contractual obligations and to pay dividends. The Company does not have any remaining financial liabilities, including derivatives, with maturity dates that exceed 12 months. As such, the contractual maturity dates of the Company's remaining financial liabilities are all within one year. The Company, since entering into the cash pooling agreement discussed above, did not enter into any lines of credit or other borrowing arrangements with banks. Market risk Foreign currency exchange rate risk As a result of transactions relating to tickets purchased from the US equity holder Scientific Games Int. and from the related party GTech Printing Corp., our financial statements can be affected by movements in the USD/EUR exchange rates. The primary risk inherent in our financial instruments is the market risk arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to mitigate such risk the Company decided to apply an hedging strategy, by subscribing foreign currency forward contracts. Such contracts have been designated as qualifying for hedge accounting treatment (i.e., changes in fair value are reflected in other comprehensive income/loss in the statement of comprehensive income each period). The sensitivity analysis to a reasonably possible change in the USD exchange rate, in a range between +10% and -10% compared to the exchange rate as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and the related potential effect on the net income and net equity of the Company is as follows: Increase/decrease in US Dollar rate Effect on net income before tax Effect on equity % % (220) (148) % % (391) (263) % 2,724 1,852-10% (3,324) (2,260) F-30

The hedged cash flows are expected to occur monthly between January 2013 and October 2014 and will impact profit or loss at such time. Interest rate risk The Company does not have financing arrangements with banks since its short-term borrowing requirements are provided by Lottomatica Group S.p.A. through the cash pooling agreement previously discussed. The interest rate for the cash pooling agreement is set on a quarterly basis. The interest rate on the cash account for the remittances to AAMS is set at market rates. Consequently, changes in market interest rates would not have a significant effect on the Company's net income and net equity. F-31

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Consorzio Lotterie Nazionali at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As discussed in Note 1 of the financial statements, the Company's Board of Directors obtained approval from its equity holders on February 24, 2011 to begin formal dissolution of the Company during 2011, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2.1 of the financial statements, the 2010 financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the uncertain outcome associated with such dissolution. /s/ Reconta Ernst & Young S.p.A.

305 Exhibit 99.8 SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION 2003 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SPECIAL PERFORMANCE-CONDITIONED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS T H I S A G R E E M E N T, m a d e a s o f t h e d a y o f, b y ] (the Participant ). WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (the Committee ) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board ) administers the Company's 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended and restated (as may be further amended from time to time, the Plan ); and WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Company awarded to the Participant a special grant of restricted stock units ( RSUs ), which award is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, as such terms and conditions may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Committee in accordance therewith and herewith; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows. 1. Grants. (a) The Participant was granted on the date hereof [ ] RSUs (the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant ), which Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant shall vest with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock ( Common Stock ) subject to such Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant if, as and when certain Adjusted EBITDA Targets are achieved in accordance with this Agreement. RSUs included in the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant shall be forfeited on March 15, 2016 to the extent such RSUs remain unvested on such date. (b) The RSUs included in the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant represent a right to receive shares of Common Stock following satisfaction of an applicable vesting period subject to the conditions, restrictions and limitations contemplated by the Plan and in this Agreement. (c) For purposes of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant and this Agreement, Adjusted EBITDA shall mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined by the Committee, in a manner consistent with any determination of this or any similar metric applicable for awards or bonuses to other senior executives of the Company or for purposes of the Company's Management Incentive Compensation Program ( MICP ) generally, adjusted (without duplication) (i) to add back to Adjusted EBITDA in each fiscal year an amount reflected in equity in earnings of joint ventures on the Company's consolidated statement of operations for such year attributable to the amortization by Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l. of upfront payments associated with the tender process for the concession awarded in May 2010 by the Monopoli di Stato to operate the Gratta e Vinci instant ticket lottery in Italy and (ii) to exclude from Adjusted EBITDA in each fiscal year except 2015 any pro forma adjustment to the extent such pro forma adjustment might otherwise have been included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to reflect projected cost savings or additional costs in connection with the combination of any business or assets acquired pursuant to a Material Acquisition (as such term is defined as of December 1, 2010 in the Company's credit agreement) with the operations of the Company, as further adjusted at the discretion of the Committee or the Board, including any adjustments to this or any similar metric made for MICP purposes. (d) Vesting of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant shall be subject to the Adjusted EBITDA being equal to or greater than the levels set forth below (the Adjusted EBITDA Targets ): 1
306 For 2012: $354 million For 2013: $399 million For 2014: $448 million For 2015: $504 million RSUs included in the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant shall vest at the rate of 25% per year if, as and when the Adjusted EBITDA for a particular year equals or exceeds the Adjusted EBITDA Target applicable for such year (as indicated above), with the actual vesting date to be March 15 of the following year (assuming such Adjusted EBITDA Target is met). In each case, unvested portions of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant will carry forward to following years and will vest if, as and when future Adjusted EBITDA Targets are achieved, as provided below. If the Adjusted EBITDA Target for any particular 25% increment is first achieved in a year later than the year specified above, but the higher Adjusted EBITDA Target for that later year is not achieved, then one-half of the earlier 25% increment will vest, and the remainder of that earlier 25% increment will vest in the first subsequent year (if any) for which the entire specified Adjusted EBITDA Target for such subsequent year is fully achieved. For example, if Adjusted EBITDA of $354 million were first achieved in 2013 rather than 2012 but Adjusted EBITDA of $399 million were not achieved as targeted in 2013, one-half of the first 25% of the total award ( i.e., 12.5%) would vest, while the other half of that first 25% increment, and the second 25% increment, would not vest. However, if Adjusted EBITDA of $399 million were achieved as targeted in 2013, both the first and second 25% increments, or a total of 50% of the total award, would vest. Finally, for 2015 only, any remaining unvested percentage increments from prior years (but not the last 25% increment) will vest to the extent that the Adjusted EBITDA Targets for such prior years are achieved in 2015, whether or not the Adjusted EBITDA Target for 2015 itself is achieved. For example, if the Adjusted EBITDA Target of $448 million for 2014 is first achieved in 2015, but the Adjusted EBITDA Target of $504 million for 2015 is not achieved, then any remaining unvested percentage increments based on Adjusted EBITDA Targets of $448 million or less, for a cumulative total of 75%, will vest, and the last 25% increment will remain unvested. If the Adjusted EBITDA Target of $399 million for 2013 is achieved in 2015, but neither the Adjusted EBITDA Target of $448 million for 2014 nor the Adjusted EBITDA Target of $504 million for 2015 is achieved in 2015, then any remaining unvested percentage increments based on Adjusted EBITDA Targets of $399 million or less, for a cumulative total of 50%, will vest, and the last 50% increment will remain unvested. (e) In the event that the aggregate consideration paid by the Company or any subsidiary thereof (which for purposes of this Section 1 shall include consideration in whatever form and include any contingent consideration assuming that such contingent consideration has been paid) in connection with new Acquisitions (as defined below) consummated in 2012 does not exceed $97 million, or any subsequent year does not exceed an annual rate of $75 million per year, the incremental Adjusted EBITDA actually generated by the Company as a result of the consummation of such Acquisitions will be counted in full toward achievement of Adjusted EBITDA Targets, without duplication. For example, if in 2012 the Company acquires Company A for $75 million as a result of which the Company generates $25 million of incremental Adjusted EBITDA, the full $25 million of incremental Adjusted EBITDA would count toward achievement of Adjusted EBITDA Targets. In the event that the aggregate consideration paid by the Company for new Acquisitions consummated in any calendar year after 2011 is less than or equal to (i) in 2012, $97 million, or (ii) in any subsequent year ( i.e., 2013, 2014 or 2015), the sum of $75 million plus the excess (if any) of (A) the sum of (1) $22 million and (2) the product of $75 million multiplied by the number of full calendar years that have elapsed from and including 2012 over (B) the cumulative aggregate consideration paid by the Company for new Acquisitions consummated in and after 2012 (excluding the cumulative aggregate consideration paid by the Company for new Acquisitions consummated in such calendar year) (the Acquisition Threshold ), the Acquisitions in such year shall be subject to this Section 1(e). In the event that the aggregate consideration paid by the Company for new Acquisitions consummated in any calendar year after 2011 exceeds the Acquisition Threshold applicable to such year, Acquisitions in such year shall be subject to Section 1(f) below. For example, if the Company makes Acquisitions in 2012 for $87 million, then incremental Adjusted EBITDA generated by the Company as a result of the consummation of Acquisitions in 2013 for aggregate consideration of up to $85 million would count toward achievement of Adjusted EBITDA Targets. For purposes hereof, an Acquisition means an direct or indirect acquisition (or series of related acquisitions) by the Company or any subsidiary thereof of (1) assets comprising all or substantially all of a business, division or an operating unit of a business or entity and/or (2) all or substantially all of the common stock of a business or entity (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, investments in a newly formed entity). (f) In the event that the aggregate consideration paid by the Company in connection with new Acquisitions in 2012 or any subsequent year exceeds the Acquisition Threshold applicable for such year, then, for purposes of determining the achievement of Adjusted EBITDA Targets, the Adjusted EBITDA of the Company, which will include 2
307 the incremental Adjusted EBITDA actually generated by the Company as a result of the consummation of any such Acquisitions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such incremental Adjusted EBITDA actually generated by the Company in the year in which such Acquisition was consummated (i.e., not a pro forma amount)), shall be reduced during each applicable year (including the year in which each such Acquisition was consummated) by: (i) the interest cost ( Cost of Debt ) for such year (including, in the case of the year in which such Acquisition was consummated, the interest cost attributable to the portion of the year following the consummation of such Acquisition) on proceeds of debt of the Company or its subsidiaries incurred or deemed used to make each such Acquisition ( Acquisition Debt ); provided, however, that, in any year subsequent to the year such Acquisition was consummated, the principal amount of such Acquisition Debt shall be deemed to be repaid and to the extent deemed to have been so repaid in part in any prior year or years shall be deemed to be further repaid (and, accordingly, such Cost of Debt will be appropriately reduced) in an amount equal to the deemed free cash flow of the business subject to or comprising (in whole or in part) such Acquisition (with such deemed free cash flow being defined as (A) the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the business, division, operating unit or entity subject to or comprising (in whole or in part) such Acquisition for the last four complete fiscal quarters prior to the consummation of such Acquisition ( Target EBITDA ), less (B) the Cost of Debt for such Acquisition in the immediately preceding year (for the avoidance of doubt, where the immediately preceding year is the year in which such Acquisition was consummated, calculated on a full-year basis), less (C) an amount equal to the aggregate Capital Expenditures (as such term is defined as of December 1, 2010 in the Company's credit agreement, without regard to the proviso therein) of (or attributable to) such business, division, operating unit or entity during the last four complete fiscal quarters prior to the consummation of such Acquisition, subject to appropriate adjustment in the reasonable discretion of the Compensation Committee to the extent that the amount thereof varies materially from the historical rate of Capital Expenditures of such business, division, operating unit or entity); (ii) a deemed annual interest cost on equity used as consideration to make such Acquisition ( Cost of Equity ) as reasonably determined by the Compensation Committee (including, in the case of the year in which such Acquisition was consummated, a deemed annual interest cost on equity attributable to the portion of the year following the consummation of such Acquisition); and (iii) an amount equal to the aggregate Capital Expenditures of such business, division, operating unit or entity during the last four complete fiscal quarters prior to the consummation of such Acquisition ( Acquisition Capital Expenditures ). For purposes of this Agreement, Cost of Debt shall be (1) in the case of an Acquisition financed, in whole or in material part, from the proceeds of new indebtedness incurred for such purpose, an amount equal to the cash consideration in such Acquisition multiplied by the stated interest rate on such indebtedness, and (2) otherwise, an amount equal to such cash consideration multiplied by the weighted average interest rate for all of the indebtedness of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries from time to time. For example, if the Company makes an Acquisition for $100 million (including $60 million of Acquisition Debt and $40 million of equity consideration) to acquire a business which generated $25 million of Target EBITDA, but the Cost of Debt for such year is $3 million, the Cost of Equity used as consideration for such year is $2 million, and the aggregate amount of Capital Expenditures are $5 million, then the Target EBITDA counted toward achievement of Adjusted EBITDA Targets would be reduced by $10 million (i.e., $3 million plus $2 million plus $5 million), but in that year $17 million of deemed free cash flow ( i.e., Target EBITDA of $25 million less $3 million Cost of Debt less $5 million of Capital Expenditures) will be deemed to have been applied to repay the Acquisition Debt, so that in the following year the deemed Cost of Debt shall be appropriately reduced. For example, if the Acquisition Debt were $60 million, bearing interest at 5%, such deemed repayment of $17 million would reduce such $60 million of Acquisition Debt to $43 million, and for the following year the Cost of Debt would be $2.15 million ( i.e., 5% of $43 million), and if deemed free cash flow in the following year were $20 million, the Acquisition Debt would then be further reduced to $23 million. 2. Incorporation of Plan by Reference. Except as otherwise provided herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Plan. All terms, conditions and restrictions of the Plan are incorporated herein and made part hereof as if stated herein. If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan, as interpreted by the Committee, shall govern. In addition, if there is any conflict between this Agreement and the terms of any employment agreement (or amendment thereof) between the Company (or any subsidiary thereof) and the Participant (the Employment Agreement ) with respect to the terms of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant, the terms of this Agreement will govern. 3. Restriction on Transfer of Awards. No portion of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, margined, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Participant. 4. Distribution of Vested RSUs. As soon as administratively practicable after any applicable vesting date of RSUs included in the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant (generally within three (3) business days and in no event more than 15 business days), the Company will deliver to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of such RSUs that vested as of the applicable vesting date less the number of RSUs, if any, withheld in satisfaction of applicable withholding taxes as discussed in Section 5 of this Agreement. 3
308 5. Taxes. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant. The Company shall not be required to issue shares until such obligations are satisfied. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company will withhold from any shares deliverable upon any vesting of RSUs included in the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant a number of shares sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable withholding taxes; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant will be permitted to elect, in accordance with procedures adopted from time to time by the Company, to pay the tax withholding amount in cash, in which case no shares will be withheld and the Participant will be required to pay the amount of the taxes in full by the vesting date, in cash, by certified check, bank cashier's check or wire transfer. 6. Effect of Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Employment Agreement, the Plan or in this Agreement to the contrary, any unvested portion of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant will not accelerate and will be forfeited upon termination of the Participant's employment with the Company (or termination of the Employment Agreement) for any reason whatsoever (including as a result of expiration of the term of the Employment Agreement); provided, however, that in the event of any such termination (a) by the Company (or the applicable subsidiary) without cause (as such term or similar term is defined in the Employment Agreement), (b) by the Company due to the death or total disability (as such term or similar term is defined in the Employment Agreement) of the Participant, (c) by the Participant for good reason (as such term or similar term is defined in the Employment Agreement) or (d) by virtue of the expiration of the Employment Agreement, in each case under clause (a), (b) or (c) or (d) of this proviso, between December 31 of 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015 and a potential vesting date with respect to the RSUs included in the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant ( i.e., March 15 of the following year), and it is determined following the end of such year that the relevant Adjusted EBITDA Target for such year was achieved (in accordance with the vesting provisions applicable to such unvested portion), the number of RSUs included in the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant that otherwise would have vested on March 15 of the following year had the Participant remained employed through such vesting date shall vest and not be forfeited (and, to the extent that such unvested portion of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant does not vest on such March 15, such unvested portion shall be forfeited). 7. Other Terms. (a) No Shareholder Rights. Until shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant in connection with the vesting of RSUs included in the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant, the Participant shall have no voting, dividend or other rights as a shareholder of the Company for any purpose. (b) Consideration for Grant. Participant shall not be required to pay any cash consideration for the grant of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant. The Participant's performance of services to the Company from the grant date to the date of vesting of the RSUs included in the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant shall be deemed to be consideration for the grant, which services have a value at least equal to the aggregate par value of the shares being newly issued in connection with the grant. The foregoing notwithstanding, an award may be granted in exchange for the Participant's surrender of another award or other right to compensation if and to the extent permitted by the Committee. (c) Insider Trading Policy Applicable. Participant acknowledges that sales of shares received with respect to the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant will be subject to the Company's policies regulating trading by employees and consultants. 8. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party hereto, upon any breach or default of any party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in a writing signed by such party and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. 9. Integration. This Agreement, and the other documents referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto which form a part hereof, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those expressly set forth herein. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the Plan, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to its subject matter (including the Employment Agreement). 4
309 10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the provisions governing conflict of laws. 11. Restrictive Covenant Condition; Clawback. The Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the receipt of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant, including any right to receive the shares of Common Stock following a vesting date or retain the profit from the sale of shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant, is conditioned upon Participant's compliance with the non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disclosure provisions contained in the Employment Agreement (as such provisions may be supplemented from time to time), and is furthermore subject to any provision relating to the forfeiture of equity awards (or any shares issued in connection therewith, or disposition proceeds of such shares) or other compensation set forth in the Employment Agreement. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Employment Agreement or any other agreement, plan or program, RSUs included in the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant (or any shares issued in connection therewith, or disposition proceeds of such shares) shall be subject to recovery by the Company under any compensation recovery or clawback policy, generally applicable to senior executives of the Company, that the Company may adopt from time to time, including without limitation any policy which the Company may be required to adopt under Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder or the requirements of any national securities exchange on which the Company's common stock may be listed. 12. Data Privacy. For Participants in certain jurisdictions, the data privacy laws of such jurisdictions may require the Participants' consent to the use and transfer of certain personal information necessary to administer the Plan and the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant. Accordingly, if applicable, the Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Participant's receipt of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant, including any right to receive the shares of Common Stock following vesting of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant or retain the profit from the sale of shares of Common Stock subject to the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant, is conditioned upon Participant's consent to the use and transfer of such personal information pursuant to the consent previously executed by the Participant or, if the Participant has not previously executed such a consent, to the provisions of the consent form which accompanies this Agreement (as such form may be supplemented from time to time). Participant's execution of this Agreement constitutes acceptance and ratification of this condition and the Participant's consent to the use and transfer of certain personal information in connection with the Participant's participation in the Plan pursuant to the provisions of such consent form (as such form may be supplemented from time to time). 13. Plan Administrator. The Company has retained Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC as a third-party administrator to assist in the administration and management of the Plan (the Plan Administrator or Fidelity ). A listing of the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant may be viewed through the Plan Administrator's website at once the Participant has established an account with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall handle the vesting and settlement of RSUs. The Company reserves the right to replace Fidelity as the Plan Administrator at any time in the Company's sole discretion. 14. Participant Acknowledgment. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan (and the related prospectus). The Participant hereby acknowledges that all decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee in respect of the Plan, this Agreement and the Performance Vesting Special RSU Grant shall be final and conclusive. [remainder of page intentionally left blank] IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be duly executed by its duly authorized officer, and the Participant has hereunto signed this Agreement on his or her own behalf, thereby representing that he or she has carefully read and understands this Agreement and the Plan as of the day and year first written above.
