EXPLANATORY NOTE
On May 22, 2024 (the “Closing
Date”), DraftKings Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), completed its previously announced acquisition
of JackPocket Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jackpocket”), pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger and plan of reorganization, dated as of February 11, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Jackpocket, DraftKings
Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“DK HoldCo”), Fortune Merger Sub Inc.,
a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of DK HoldCo (“Merger Sub I”), Fortune Merger Sub LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of DK HoldCo (“Merger Sub II”), and Shareholder
Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Jackpocket securityholders.
On the Closing Date, Merger
Sub I merged with and into Jackpocket (the “Initial Merger”), with Jackpocket surviving the Initial Merger as the surviving
corporation (the “Initial Surviving Company”). Promptly following consummation of the Initial Merger, the Initial Surviving
Company merged with and into Merger Sub II (the “Subsequent Merger”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Subsequent Merger
as the surviving company and changing its name to “Jackpocket LLC”.
Effective as of the
consummation of the Initial Merger (the “Initial Effective Time”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each
outstanding option (each, a “Jackpocket Option”) to purchase shares of Jackpocket’s common stock, $0.00001
par value (“Jackpocket Common Stock”), whether vested or unvested (other than unvested Jackpocket Options subject
to performance vesting conditions, which were cancelled for no consideration) that had a per share exercise price less than the
Per Share Closing Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (each, an “In-the-Money Option”)
was assumed by the Company and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole
number) of (x) the number of shares of Jackpocket Common Stock subject to such In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Initial
Effective Time and (y) the Equity Award Conversion Amount (as defined in the Merger
Agreement), at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share
of Jackpocket Common Stock of such In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time divided by (B) the Equity
Award Conversion Amount. Except as specifically provided in the immediately preceding sentence, following the Initial Effective
Time, each In-the-Money Option will continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such In-the-Money
Option immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time (including vesting and exercisability terms).
This registration statement
on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) is being filed by the Company in connection with the registration of shares
of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the In-the-Money Options granted under the JackPocket Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive
Plan (as amended, the “Plan”), as assumed by the Company and converted into options exercisable for shares of Class
A Common Stock in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

| Item 4. |
Description of Securities |
Not applicable.
| Item 5. |
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel |
Not applicable.
| Item 6. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
The Company’s amended
and restated articles of incorporation eliminate the liability of its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada
law. Nevada law provides that the Company’s directors and officers will not be individually liable to the Company, the Company’s
stockholders or the Company’s creditors for any damages for any act or failure to act in the capacity of a director or officer other
than in circumstances where both (i) the presumption that the director or officer acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a
view to the interests of the corporation has been rebutted, and (ii) the act or failure to act of the director or officer is proven to
have been a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and such breach is proven to have involved intentional misconduct,
fraud or a knowing violation of law.
The Company’s amended
and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws also provide for indemnification for the Company’s directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. The Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors
that are, in some cases, broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Nevada law. The effect of these provisions
is to restrict the Company’s rights and the rights of its stockholders in derivative suits to recover any damages against a director
or officer for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, because a director or officer will not be individually liable for acts or omissions,
except where the act or failure to act constituted a breach of fiduciary duty and such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or
a knowing violation of law, and the presumption that the director or officer acted in good faith, on an informed basis, and with a view
to the interests of the corporation, has been rebutted.
These provisions may be held
not to be enforceable for certain violations of the federal securities laws of the United States.
The Company is also expressly
authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents against certain
liabilities.
The limitation of liability
and indemnification provisions under Nevada law and in the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended
and restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These
provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such
an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate
the Company’s rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of
a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover, the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities
laws. In addition, the investment of any of the Company’s stockholders may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class
action or direct suit, the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification
provisions.
| Item 7. |
Exemption from Registration Claimed |
Not applicable.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers
or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required
by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the
form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables”
or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information
in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that clauses
(a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by these clauses is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by such registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant
to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 4.1
JACKPOCKET INC.
2013 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
| 1. | Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of this Plan are: |
| · | to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, |
| | | |
| · | to provide additional incentive to Employees, Directors and Consultants, and |
| | | |
| · | to promote the success of the Company’s business. |
The Plan permits the grant of
Incentive Stock Options, Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.
| 2. | Definitions. As used herein, the following definitions
will apply: |
(a)
“Administrator” means the Board or any of its Committees as will be administering the Plan, in accordance
with Section 4.
(b)
“Applicable Laws” means the requirements relating to the administration of equity-based awards under
U.S. state corporate laws, U.S. federal and state securities laws, the Code, any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common
Stock is listed or quoted and the applicable laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction where Awards are, or will be, granted under the
Plan.
(c) “Award”
means, individually or collectively, a grant under the Plan of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, or Restricted Stock
Units.
(d) “Award
Agreement” means the written or electronic agreement setting forth the terms and provisions applicable to each Award granted
under the Plan. The Award Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
(e)
“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.
(f)
“Change in Control ” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) Change
in Ownership of the Company. A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than
one person acting as a group (“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with
the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, except that any change
in the ownership of the stock of the Company as a result of a private financing of the Company that is approved by the Board will not
be considered a Change in Control; or
(ii)
Change in Effective Control of the Company. If the Company has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section
12 of the Exchange Act, a change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board
is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members
of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of this clause (ii), if any Person is considered to be in
effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change
in Control; or
(iii)
Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial
portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month
period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair
market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such
acquisition or acquisitions. For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company,
or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.
For purposes of this Section
2(f), persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation,
purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning
of Code Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal
Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time.
Further and for the avoidance
of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the jurisdiction of the Company’s
incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the
persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.
(g)
“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any reference to a section of the Code herein
will be a reference to any successor or amended section of the Code.

by the Board, or by the compensation committee of the Board, in accordance with Section 4 hereof.
(i)
“Common Stock” means the common stock of the Company.
(j)
“Company” means JackPocket Inc., a Delaware corporation, or any successor thereto.

or a Parent or Subsidiary to render services to such entity.
(l)

that in the case of Awards other than Incentive Stock Options, the Administrator in its discretion may determine whether a permanent and
total disability exists in accordance with uniform and non-discriminatory standards adopted by the Administrator from time to time.
(n)
“Employee” means any person, including officers and Directors, employed by the Company or any Parent
or Subsidiary of the Company. Neither service as a Director nor payment of a director’s fee by the Company will be sufficient to
constitute “employment” by the Company.
(o)
“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(p)
“Exchange Program” means a program under which (i) outstanding Awards are surrendered or cancelled in
exchange for Awards of the same type (which may have higher or lower exercise prices and different terms), Awards of a different type,
and/or cash, (ii) Participants would have the opportunity to transfer any outstanding Awards to a financial institution or other person
or entity selected by the Administrator, and/or (iii) the exercise price of an outstanding Award is reduced or increased. The Administrator
will determine the terms and conditions of any Exchange Program in its sole discretion.
(q)
“Fair Market Value” means, as of any date, the value of Common Stock determined as follows:
(i)
If the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation the Nasdaq
Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, its Fair Market Value will be
the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system on the day
of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable;
(ii)
If the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, the Fair Market
Value of a Share will be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the day of determination (or, if no
bids and asks were reported on that date, as applicable, on the last trading date such bids and asks were reported), as reported in The
Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; or
(iii)
In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value will be determined in good faith by the Administrator.
(r)
“Incentive Stock Option” means an Option that by its terms qualifies and is otherwise intended to qualify
as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Code Section 422 and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
(s)
“Nonstatutory Stock Option” means an Option that by its terms does not qualify or is not intended to
qualify as an Incentive Stock Option.
(t)
“Option” means a stock option granted pursuant to the Plan.
(u)
“Parent” means a “parent corporation,” whether now or hereafter existing, as defined in Code
Section 424(e).
(v)
“Participant” means the holder of an outstanding Award.
(w)
“Period of Restriction” means the period during which the transfer of Shares of Restricted Stock are
subject to restrictions and therefore, the Shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Such restrictions may be based on the
passage of time, the achievement of target levels of performance, or the occurrence of other events as determined by the Administrator.
(x)
“Plan” means this 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.
(y)
“Restricted Stock” means Shares issued pursuant to an Award of Restricted Stock under Section 8,
or issued pursuant to the early exercise of an Option.

(bb)
“Service Provider” means an Employee, Director or Consultant.
(cc)
“Share” means a share of the Common Stock, as adjusted in accordance with Section 13.
(dd)
“Stock Appreciation Right” means an Award, granted alone or in connection with an Option, that pursuant
to Section 7 is designated as a Stock Appreciation Right.
(ee)
“Subsidiary” means a “subsidiary corporation,” whether now or hereafter existing, as defined
in Code Section 424(f).
| 3. | Stock Subject to the Plan. |
(a)
Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 13, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may
be subject to Awards and sold under the Plan is 450,000 Shares. The Shares may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.
(b)
Lapsed Awards. If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered
pursuant to an Exchange Program, or, with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, is forfeited to or repurchased by the
Company due to the failure to vest, the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights the forfeited
or repurchased Shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated).
With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, only Shares actually issued pursuant to a Stock Appreciation Right will cease to be available
under the Plan; all remaining Shares under Stock Appreciation Rights will remain available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless
the Plan has terminated). Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan under any Award will not be returned to the Plan and will
not become available for future distribution under the Plan; provided, however, that if Shares issued pursuant to Awards
of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company due to the failure to vest,
such Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy the
tax withholding obligations related to an Award will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan. To the extent an Award
under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of Shares available for
issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13, the maximum number of Shares
that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a), plus, to
the extent allowable under Code Section 422 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for
issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(b).
(c)
Share Reserve. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number
of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
| 4. | Administration of the Plan. |
(a)
Procedure.
(i) Multiple Administrative Bodies. Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer
the Plan.
(ii)
Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the Plan will be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a
Committee, which Committee will be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws.
(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the
specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:
(i)
to determine the Fair Market Value;
(ii)

(iv)
to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;

Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator will determine;

Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations
will be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards.
5. Eligibility.
Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, and Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Service
Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.
(a) Grant
of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant
Options in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.
(b) Option Agreement. Each Award of an Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise
price, the term of the Option, the number of Shares subject to the Option, the exercise restrictions, if any, applicable to the Option,
and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.
(c) Limitations. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory
Stock Option. Notwithstanding such designation, however, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect
to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the
Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock
Options. For purposes of this Section 6(c), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted,
the Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted, and calculation
will be performed in accordance with Code Section 422 and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
(d) Term
of Option. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term will
be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who,
at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from
the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.
(e) Option
Exercise Price and Consideration.
(i) Exercise
Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be determined by the
Administrator, but will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. In addition,
in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred
ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e)(i),
Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Code Section 424(a).
(ii) Waiting
Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may
be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.
(iii) Form
of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the
method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at
the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (1) cash, (2) check, (3) promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Laws, (4) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price
of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided further that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse
accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, (5) consideration received by the Company
under cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, (6) by
net exercise, (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws,
or (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the
Administrator will consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.
(f)
Exercise of Option.
(i) Procedure
for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and
at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be
exercised for a fraction of a Share.
An Option will be deemed exercised
when the Company receives: (i) notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from time to time) from the person
entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with
applicable tax withholding). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted
by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested
by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate
entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.
The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend
or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13.
Exercising an Option in any
manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number
of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.
(ii) Termination
of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s
termination as the result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such
period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth
in the Award Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination. In the absence of a specified time in the
Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise
provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares
covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or
her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert
to the Plan.
(iii) Disability
of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant
may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration
of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination. In the
absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s
termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or
her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant
does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option
will revert to the Plan.
(iv) Death
of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is
specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement)
to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death, by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary
has been designated prior to the Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been
designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or
by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent
and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months
following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is
not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan.
If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option
will revert to the Plan.
| 7. | Stock Appreciation Rights. |
(a) Grant
of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to Service
Providers at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.
(b) Number
of Shares. The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Shares subject to any Award of Stock Appreciation
Rights.
(c) Exercise
Price and Other Terms. The per Share exercise price for the Shares that will determine the amount of the payment to be received
upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in Section 7(f) will be determined by the Administrator and will be no less
than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Otherwise, the Administrator, subject to the
provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights granted under
the Plan.
(d) Stock
Appreciation Right Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the
exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator,
in its sole discretion, will determine.
(e) Expiration
of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator,
in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 6(d) relating to the
maximum term and Section 6(f) relating to exercise also will apply to Stock Appreciation Rights.
(f) Payment
of Stock Appreciation Right Amount. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment
from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:
(i) the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times
(ii) the
number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.
At the discretion of the Administrator,
the payment upon Stock Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.
(a) Grant
of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may
grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.
(b) Restricted
Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction,
the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Unless
the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock until the restrictions on such
Shares have lapsed.
(c) Transferability.
Except as provided in this Section 8 or as the Administrator determines, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.
(d) Other
Restrictions. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as
it may deem advisable or appropriate.
(e) Removal
of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock
grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such
other time as the Administrator may determine. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions
will lapse or be removed.
(f) Voting
Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise
full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.
(g) Dividends
and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled
to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise. If any
such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability
as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.
(h) Return
of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have
not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.
| 9. | Restricted Stock Units. |
(a) Grant.
Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. After the Administrator
determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units, it will advise the Participant in an Award Agreement of the terms, conditions,
and restrictions related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.
(b) Vesting
Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which
the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator
may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to,
continued employment or service), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.
(c) Earning
Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as
determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator,
in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.
(d) Form
and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) determined
by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock
Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.
(e) Cancellation.
On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company.
10.
Compliance With Code Section 409A. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt
from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion
of the Administrator. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A
and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.
To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A the Award will be
granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, such that the grant, payment,
settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A.
11.
Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder
will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave
of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any
Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed three (3) months, unless reemployment upon expiration of
such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not
so guaranteed, then six (6) months following the first (1st) day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will
cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
| 12. | Limited Transferability of Awards. |
(a) Unless
determined otherwise by the Administrator, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant.
(b) Further,
until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or after the Administrator
determines that it is, will, or may no longer be relying upon the exemption from registration under the Exchange Act as set forth in
Rule 12h-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, an Option, or prior
to exercise, the Shares subject to the Option, may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise
transferred or disposed of, in any manner, including by entering into any short position, any “put equivalent position” or
any “call equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) and Rule 16a-1(b) of the Exchange Act, respectively), other than
to (i) persons who are “family members” (as defined in Rule 701(c)(3) of the Securities Act) through gifts or domestic relations
orders, or (ii) to an executor or guardian of the Participant upon the death or disability of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit transfers to the Company or in connection with a Change
in Control or other acquisition transactions involving the Company to the extent permitted by Rule 12h-1(f).
| 13. | Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change
in Control. |
(a) Adjustments.
In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase,
or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares
occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available
under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of
Shares covered by each outstanding Award.
(b) Dissolution
or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant
as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised,
an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
(c) Merger
or Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator
determines (subject to the provisions of the following paragraph) without a Participant’s consent, including, without limitation,
that (i) Awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent Awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or
an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice to a Participant,
that the Participant’s Awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or Change in Control;
(iii) outstanding Awards will vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award will lapse,
in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change in Control, and, to the extent the Administrator determines,
terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or Change in Control; (iv) (A) the termination of an Award in
exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award
or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt,
if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained
upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without
payment), or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion;
or (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 13(c), the Administrator will not
be obligated to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, similarly.
In the event that the successor
corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award (or portion thereof), the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to
exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise
be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Awards with
performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target
levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is not assumed or substituted in
the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option
or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option
or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period.
For the purposes of this Section
13(c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive,
for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other
securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date
of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority
of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is
not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation,
provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Restricted
Stock Unit, for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market
value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.
Notwithstanding anything in
this Section 13(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals
will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s
consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change
in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.
Notwithstanding anything in
this Section 13(c) to the contrary, if a payment under an Award Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and if the change in control
definition contained in the Award Agreement does not comply with the definition of “change of control” for purposes of a distribution
under Code Section 409A, then any payment of an amount that is otherwise accelerated under this Section will be delayed until the earliest
time that such payment would be permissible under Code Section 409A without triggering any penalties applicable under Code Section 409A.
(a) Withholding
Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the
power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal,
state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such
Award (or exercise thereof).
(b) Withholding
Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time,
may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (without limitation): (i) paying cash, (ii) electing
to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to
be withheld, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the statutory amount required to
be withheld, provided the delivery of such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines
in its sole discretion, or (iv) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means
as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be
withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld
at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax
rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.
The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.
15.
No Effect on Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect
to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor will they interfere in any way with the
Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Laws.
16.
Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each
Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
17.
Term of Plan. Subject to Section 21, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board. Unless sooner terminated
under Section 18, it will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the later of (a) the effective date of the Plan, or (b)
the earlier of the most recent Board or stockholder approval of an increase in the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.
18.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
(a) Amendment
and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(b) Stockholder
Approval. The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply
with Applicable Laws.
(c) Effect
of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the
Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted
to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
19.
Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
(a) Legal
Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance
and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with
respect to such compliance.
(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising
such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without
any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.
20.
Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction,
which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority will
not have been obtained.
21.
Stockholder Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months
after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under
Applicable Laws.
22.
Information to Participants. Beginning on the earlier of (i)
the date that the aggregate number of Participants under this Plan is five hundred (500) or more and the Company
is relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f)(1) under the Exchange Act and (ii) the date that the Company is required to deliver
information to Participants pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act, and until such time as the Company becomes subject to
the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
is no longer relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f)(1) under the Exchange Act or
is no longer required to deliver information to Participants pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act, the Company shall provide
to each Participant the information described in paragraphs (e)(3), (4), and (5) of Rule 701 under the Securities Act not less frequently
than every six (6) months with the financial statements being not more than 180 days old and with such information provided either by
physical or electronic delivery to the Participants or by written notice to the Participants of the availability of the information on
an Internet site that may be password-protected and of any password needed to access the information. The Company may request that Participants
agree to keep the information to be provided pursuant to this section confidential. If a Participant does not agree to keep the information
to be provided pursuant to this section confidential, then the Company will not be required to provide the information unless
otherwise required pursuant to Rule 12h-1(f)(1) under the Exchange Act or Rule 701 of the Securities Act.
APPENDIX A
To
JACKPOCKET INC. 2013 EQUITY
INCENTIVE PLAN
(for California residents
only, to the extent required by 25102(o))
This Appendix A to the JackPocket
Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan shall apply only to the Participants who are residents of the State of California and who are receiving
an Award under the Plan. Capitalized terms contained herein shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan, unless otherwise provided
by this Appendix A. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in the Plan to the contrary and to the extent required by Applicable Laws,
the following terms shall apply to all Awards granted to residents of the State of California, until such time as the Administrator amends
this Appendix A or the Administrator otherwise provides.
(a) The
term of each Option shall be stated in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10)
years from the date of grant thereof.
(b) Unless
determined otherwise by the Administrator, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award
may only be transferred (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities
Act.
(c) If

in the Award Agreement, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days following the date of the Participant’s termination, to the
extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set
forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three
(3) months following the Participant’s termination.

her Option within such period of time as specified in the Award Agreement, which shall not be less than six (6) months following the

designated beneficiary, personal representative, or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s
will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option
shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination.
(f) No
Award shall be granted to a resident of California more than ten (10) years after the earlier of the date of adoption of the Plan or

(g) In
the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization,
stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of
Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the
Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under
the Plan, will adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares
covered by each outstanding Award; provided, however, that the Administrator will make such adjustments to an Award required
by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code to the extent the Company is relying upon the exemption afforded thereby with
respect to the Award.
(h) This
Appendix A shall be deemed to be part of the Plan and the Administrator shall have the authority to amend this Appendix A in accordance
with Section 18 of the Plan.

This Third Amendment (this “Amendment”) to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”)
of JackPocket Inc. (the “Company”) is effective as of the date specified below and further amends the Plan pursuant
to Section 18 thereof.
Unless otherwise expressly
provided for in this Amendment, all capitalized words or phrases or other defined terms used in this Amendment will have the same meaning
ascribed to them in the Plan.
2.
Section 3(a) of the Plan is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“(a)
Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that
may be subject to Awards and sold under the Plan is 8,849,576 Shares. The Shares may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired
Common Stock.”
3.
Section 13 of the Plan is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“13. Adjustments;
Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.
(a)
Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities,
or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting
the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to
be made available under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class,
and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award.
Dissolution or Liquidation.
In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable
prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
(b)
Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated
as the Administrator determines (subject to the provisions of the following paragraph) without a Participant’s consent, including,
without limitation, that (i) Awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent Awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding
corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice
to a Participant, that the Participant’s Awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or Change
in Control; (iii) outstanding Awards will vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award
will lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change in Control, and, to the extent the Administrator
determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or Change in Control; (iv) (A) the termination of
an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise
of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance
of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have
been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the
Company without payment), or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its
sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 13(c), the Administrator
will not be obligated to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, similarly.
With respect to any Qualified
Award (as defined below), in the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Qualified Award (or portion
thereof), the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights subject thereto, including Shares as to which such Qualified Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions
on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units subject thereto will lapse, and, with respect to Qualified Awards with performance-based
vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all
other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right subject to a Qualified Award is not assumed or substituted
in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that such Option
or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and such
Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period. “Qualified Award” means
(i) any Award granted by the Administrator on or before August 10, 2016 and (ii) any Award granted by the Administrator after such date
which Award is one of the ‘Allocated Options’ set forth Section 3.3(j) of the Schedule of Exceptions delivered pursuant to
that certain Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 10, 2016, by and among the Company and the other parties thereto.
For the purposes of this Section
13(c), a Qualified Award will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, such Qualified Award confers the right
to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to such Qualified Award immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration
(whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each
Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration
chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in
the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the
consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation
Right or upon the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, for each Share subject to such Qualified Award, to be solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the
merger or Change in Control.
Notwithstanding anything in
this Section 13(c) to the contrary, a Qualified Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance
goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s
consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change
in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Qualified assumption.
Notwithstanding anything in
this Section 13(c) to the contrary, if a payment under an Award Agreement for a Qualified Award is subject to Code Section 409A and if
the change in control definition contained in such Award Agreement does not comply with the definition of “change of control”
for purposes of a distribution under Code Section 409A, then any payment of an amount that is otherwise accelerated under this Section
will be delayed until the earliest time that such payment would be permissible under Code Section 409A without triggering any penalties
applicable under Code Section 409A.”
I hereby certify that the foregoing Amendment was
duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, effective as of August 10, 2016.

DraftKings Inc.
222 Berkeley Street, 5th Floor
Boston, Massachusetts 02116
| Re: | Registration Statement on Form S-8 for shares issuable pursuant to the JackPocket Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive
Plan. |
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have acted as special
Nevada counsel to DraftKings Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
“Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Such Registration Statement relates to the offering and sale by the Company of up to an aggregate of 351,225 shares of the
Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Plan Shares”), that may be issued
under the JackPocket Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended to the date hereof (the “Plan”). Pursuant to
that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of February 11, 2024 (the “Merger
Agreement”), by and among the Company, DraftKings Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation, Fortune Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware
corporation, Fortune Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, JackPocket Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Shareholder
Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, certain in-the-money options under the Plan were converted into
rights to purchase Company Plan Shares.
In connection therewith, we
have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Plan; (ii) the Merger Agreement; (iii) the
Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, each as amended to the date hereof; (iv)
records of corporate proceedings of the Company related to the Plan and the Merger Agreement; (v) the Registration Statement and exhibits
thereto; and (vi) such other documents and instruments as we have deemed necessary for the expression of the opinions contained herein.
In making the foregoing examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted
to us as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photocopies. As to various
questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied, to the extent we deemed reasonably appropriate, upon representations of officers
or directors of the Company and upon documents, records and instruments furnished to us by the Company, without independently checking
or verifying the accuracy of such documents, records and instruments.
Based upon the foregoing examination
and assuming that the consideration, if any, required to be paid in connection with the issuance and sale of shares of Company Plan Shares
under the Plan is actually received by the Company as provided in the Plan, we are of the opinion that the Company Plan Shares when, and
if, issued under the Plan will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
