The Consenting Creditors agree that, prior to the termination of this Agreement with respect to any particular Caesars Party, the Consenting Creditors shall not commence any litigation or interpose or join in any claim arising from or in any way relating to the First Lien Bond Debt against any such Caesars Party, including, without limitation, in connection with any of the Caesars Cases or the Trustee Litigation; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent a Consenting Creditor from taking any other action (other than joining as a named plaintiff or providing a written direction to the Trustee other than a written direction to stay or withdraw such action) in connection with or relating to any of the Caesars Cases, including without limitation (i) communicating and conferring with the Trustee regarding any of the Caesars Cases, and (ii) responding to and taking action in connection with any subpoena or discovery request relating to any of the Caesars Cases. The Caesars Parties further acknowledge and agree that the preparation, filing and prosecution of the Trustee Guaranty Litigation was not and is not a breach of this Agreement.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein, the forbearance set forth in this Section 3 shall not constitute a waiver with respect to any defaults or any events of defaults under the First Lien Indentures and shall not bar any Consenting Creditor from filing a proof of claim or taking action to establish the amount of such Claim.

(f) Anything in this Agreement or otherwise notwithstanding, (i) the Trustee Litigation may proceed unaffected by this Agreement, including, without limitation, all Parties to this Agreement may take any and all actions, make any and all omissions, give any and all directions and/or instructions, file any and all papers and documents, provide any and all evidence, raise and/or prosecute any and all claims and defenses, and otherwise act (or omit to act) in connection with or in reference to the Trustee Litigation as they may elect in their sole and absolute discretion, and all Parties to this Agreement hereby reserve all of their respective rights, powers, and remedies in connection with or in reference to the Trustee Litigation; and (ii) each of the Parties to this Agreement hereby agrees not to allege, assert directly or indirectly, plead, raise by claim or defense, challenge, or otherwise contend that the rights, powers, or remedies of any Party or trustee in connection with or in reference to the Trustee Action are in

any manner restricted, limited, or otherwise prejudiced due to the existence of this Agreement or anything contained in this Agreement, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be admissible for any such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consenting Creditors agree that if and only if the Petition Date occurs, then upon the occurrence of such Petition Date, they (x) shall not seek to modify or otherwise oppose the imposition of the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code until the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement and (ii) the Effective Date and (y) to the extent a Consenting Creditor has directed the Trustee in connection with the Trustee Litigation, such Consenting Creditor shall direct the Trustee to agree to a consensual stay of the Trustee Litigation commencing upon the Petition Date and expiring upon the termination of this Agreement.

4. Withdrawal of Litigation and Tolling.

(a) Prior to the Petition Date, (i) the Company and CEC will dismiss without prejudice, or otherwise stay, the claims asserted against EMC in the Caesars-Commenced Litigation (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not attempt to or otherwise cause the retraction revocation or termination of the dismissal during the term of this Agreement) (provided, however, that the Company and CEC may pursue all claims in the Caesars-Commenced Litigation against any entity that is not an affiliate of EMC, directly or indirectly controlled or managed by Elliott Management Corporation or its Affiliates, or a Consenting Creditor), and (ii) within two (2) business days of such dismissal, EMC will withdraw, without prejudice, its pending motion to dismiss (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not attempt to or otherwise cause the retraction revocation or termination of the withdrawal during the term of this Agreement). No Caesars Party shall, during the term of this Agreement, prosecute or pursue against EMC any of the claims asserted against EMC in the Caesars-Commenced Litigation or any similar or related claims.

(b) Upon the termination of this Agreement with respect to the Company, CEC, and EMC, the agreements between the Company, CEC, and EMC in respect of the Caesars-Commenced Litigation as set forth above shall immediately terminate.

(d) The Caesars Parties acknowledge and agree that the time from December 19, 2014, through and including the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date that this Agreement has been terminated with respect to all Parties shall not be counted for purposes of determining whether any litigation commenced or claim interposed by any of the Consenting Creditors, the Trustee, or the Collateral Agent against any Caesars Party, which litigation or claim relates in any way to the Company or its Affiliates (including, but not limited to, any claims relating to any transaction by or among, or approved by, the Caesars Parties), was commenced or interposed within the applicable statute of limitations or in compliance with any other rule or doctrine of timeliness. If any Caesars Party commences any litigation or asserts any claim against any particular Consenting Creditor, which litigation or claim relates to or arises from the First Lien Indentures or any matters at issue in the Caesars-Commenced Litigation (including but not limited to the assertion of claims by the Company or CEC against EMC in the Caesars-Commenced Litigation), the time between December 19, 2014, through and including the date that is five (5) Business Days after the date that this Agreement has been terminated with respect to such Consenting Creditor shall not be counted for purposes of determining whether any such litigation was commenced or claim interposed within the applicable statute of limitations or in compliance with any similar rule or doctrine of timeliness.

5. Covenants of Caesars Parties.

(a) Affirmative Covenants of the Caesars Parties. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, for the duration of the Restructuring Support Period, each of the Caesars Parties shall:

(i) (A) support and complete the Restructuring and all transactions contemplated under the Restructuring Term Sheet and this Agreement, in accordance with the Milestones, (B) negotiate in good faith the Definitive Documentation necessary to effectuate the Restructuring, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, (C) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any and all required governmental, regulatory, licensing, Bankruptcy Court, or other approvals (including, without limitation, any necessary third-party consents) necessary to the implementation or consummation of the Restructuring; (D) use its commercially reasonable efforts to lift or otherwise reverse the effect of any injunction or other order or ruling of a court or regulatory body that would impede the consummation of a material aspect of the Restructuring, and (E) operate the Company in the ordinary course consistent with industry practice and the operations contemplated pursuant to the Company’s business plan, taking into account the Restructuring and the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases;

(ii) promptly notify or update the Consenting Creditors upon becoming aware of any of the following occurrences: (A) an additional person becomes a Consenting Creditor after the date of this Agreement; (B) a Termination Event has occurred; (C) any person has challenged the validity or priority of, or has sought to avoid, any lien securing the First Lien Bond Debt pursuant to a pleading filed with the Bankruptcy Court or another forum of competent jurisdiction; (D) material developments, negotiations, or proposals relating to the Caesars-Commenced Litigation, the Caesars Cases, the Forbearance Defaults, and any other case or controversy that may be commenced against such Caesars Party in a court of competent jurisdiction or brought before a state or federal regulatory, licensing, or similar board, authority, or tribunal that would reasonably be expected to materially impede or prevent consummation of the Restructuring; and

(iii) unless the Caesars Party obtains the prior written consent of a Consenting Creditor: (x) use the information regarding any Claims owned at any time by such Consenting Creditor (the “Confidential Claims Information”) solely in connection with this Agreement (including any disputes relating thereto); and (y) except as required by law, rule, or regulation or by order of a court or as requested or required by the Securities and Exchange Commission or by any other federal or state regulatory, judicial, governmental, or supervisory authority or body, keep the Confidential Claims Information strictly confidential and not disclose the Confidential Claims Information to any other Person; provided, however, that the Caesars Parties may combine the Confidential Claims Information provided to the Caesars Parties by a Consenting Creditor with the corresponding data provided to the Company by the Consenting Creditors and freely disclose such combined data on an aggregate basis. In the event that any of

the Caesars Parties is required (by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal or administrative proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process, or by any governmental, judicial, regulatory, or supervisory body) to disclose the Confidential Claims Information or the contents thereof, the Caesars Parties shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide affected Consenting Creditors with prompt notice of any such request or requirement so that such Consenting Creditors may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this section. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver from a Consenting Creditor, a Caesars Party believes that it is nonetheless, following consultation with counsel, required to disclose the Confidential Claims Information, such Caesars Party may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Claims Information that it believes, following consultation with counsel, it is required to disclose, provided that it exercises reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Claims Information, including, without limitation, by marking the Confidential Claims Information “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” and by reasonably cooperating with the affected Consenting Creditor to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential and attorneys’ eyes only treatment will be accorded the Confidential Claims Information. In no event shall this Agreement be construed to impose on a Consenting Creditor an obligation to disclose the price for which it acquired or disposed of any Claim. The Caesars Parties’ obligations under this Section 5(a)(iii) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(b) Negative Covenants of the Caesars Parties. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, for the duration of the Restructuring Support Period, each of the Caesars Parties (except with the prior written consent of the Requisite Consenting Creditors) shall not, directly or indirectly:

(i) take any action to solicit, initiate, encourage, or assist the submission of an Alternative Proposal; provided that this Section 5(b)(i) shall not apply to the Company after the Petition Date. If any Caesars Party receives a proposal or expression of interest in undertaking an Alternative Proposal, so long as the Consenting Creditors have agreed to comply with any applicable confidentiality restrictions related thereto (it being understood that CEC will not require any confidentiality restrictions that are in addition to the confidentiality restrictions set forth in any non-disclosure agreement between (1) any Consenting Creditor and the Company, or (2) the First Lien Professionals and the Company, that is in effect on the date hereof), the Caesars Party shall promptly notify the First Lien Professionals of the receipt of such proposal or expression of interest, with such notice to include the identity of the Person or group of Persons involved as well as the terms of such Alternative Proposal; it being acknowledged and agreed that, without limiting the restrictions imposed on the Company pursuant to this Section 5(b)(i), the Company may pursue such Alternative Proposal (including by facilitating diligence in connection with such Alternative Proposal) in accordance with the Company’s fiduciary duties as set forth by Section 20 hereof;

(ii) (A) publicly announce its intention not to pursue the Restructuring; (B) suspend or revoke the Restructuring; or (C) execute any agreements, instruments, or other documents (including any modifications or amendments to any material Definitive Documentation necessary to effectuate the Restructuring) that, in whole or in part, are not substantially consistent with this Agreement, or are not otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Consenting Creditors (as evidenced by their written approval, which approval may be conveyed in writing by counsel including by electronic mail) and the Company; or

(iii) take any action or omit to take any action, or incur, enter into, or suffer any transaction, arrangement, condition, matter, or circumstance, that (in any such case) materially impairs, or would reasonably be expected to materially impair, the ability of CEC to perform its obligations under the MLSA relative to its ability to perform its obligations under the MLSA as of December 19, 2014 (after giving effect to the consummation of the Restructuring as if the Restructuring had been consummated on December 19, 2014).

In the event the Company receives and determines to pursue an Alternative Proposal in an exercise of its fiduciary duties as set forth by Section 20 hereof, the Company shall promptly notify the Consenting Creditors of the existence and material terms of such Alternative Proposal; provided that the Company may withhold the material terms of such Alternative Proposal from any Consenting Creditor(s) who do not agree to applicable reasonable and customary confidentiality restrictions with respect thereto and/or who are in breach of this Agreement. After receipt of the material terms of such Alternative Proposal, the Requisite Consenting Creditors shall have three (3) Business Days after notice by the Company to propose changes to the terms of this Agreement, including the Restructuring Term Sheet and any exhibits thereto. The Company shall keep the Consenting Creditors informed of any amendments, modifications or developments with respect to such Alternative Proposal and any material information related to such Alternative Proposal, and, to the extent an Alternative Proposal is amended in any material respect, the Requisite Consenting Creditors shall have three (3) Business Days from any such amendment to propose changes to the terms of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the covenants set forth in this Section 5 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any covenants, obligations, or agreements of CEC contained in the Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, all of which covenants, obligations and agreements of CEC contained in the Guaranty and Pledge Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall survive and continue in full force and effect.

(c) Additional Covenants in Respect of CES. The Company and CEC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and for the duration of the Restructuring Support Period, CES (except with the prior written consent of the Requisite Consenting Creditors) (i) to operate its business in the ordinary course, and (ii) to preserve and maintain intact all material assets, properties, and other interests (including, without limitation, intellectual property interests and intangible assets, such as reward programs and customer lists) that are currently owned, licensed, used, or enjoyed by the Company.

(d) Additional Affirmative Covenants of the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, for the duration of the Restructuring Support Period, the Company shall:

(i) to the extent permitted by the Bankruptcy Court and applicable law, cause the signature pages attached to this Agreement to be redacted to the extent this Agreement is filed on the docket maintained in the Chapter 11 Cases, posted on the Company’s website, or otherwise made publicly available; and

(ii) to the extent not otherwise paid in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases (including pursuant to any debtor-in-possession financing or the Cash Collateral Stipulation), promptly pay in cash (A) upon the execution of this Agreement by the Company, all accrued First Lien Fees and Expenses for which invoices or receipts are furnished by the First Lien Professionals and/or Consenting Creditors, (B) following the execution of this Agreement by the Company and prior to the Petition Date, all First Lien Fees and Expenses for which invoices or receipts are furnished by the First Lien Professionals and/or Consenting Creditors, and (C) after the Petition Date, subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Company’s use of Cash Collateral, all unpaid First Lien Fees and Expenses incurred after the date of this Agreement from time to time, in any event within ten (10) Business Days of delivery to the Company of any applicable invoice or receipt, which shall be in compliance with any order of the Bankruptcy Court and payment of which shall be authorized pursuant to the Cash Collateral Stipulation. For the avoidance of doubt, invoices on account of First Lien Professional Fees shall contain summary detail of services performed to enable the Company to determine the reasonableness of such First Lien Professional Fees. The Company’s obligations to pay the First Lien Professional Fees shall not be affected or reduced by the payment of any First Lien Professional Fees by any holder of First Lien Bond Debt, irrespective of whether such holder remains a holder of First Lien Bond Debt as of the date of this Agreement or is a Consenting Creditor.

(e) Additional Negative Covenants of the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, for the duration of the Restructuring Support Period, the Company (except with the prior written consent of the Requisite Consenting Creditors) shall not, directly or indirectly:

(i) take any action in connection with the Restructuring that violates this Agreement;

(ii) (A) redeem, purchase or acquire, or offer to acquire any shares of, or any options, warrants, conversion privileges, or rights of any kind to acquire any shares of, any of its capital stock or other equity interests, or (B) issue, sell, pledge, dispose of, or grant or incur any encumbrance on, any shares of, or any options, warrants, conversion privileges, or rights of any kind to acquire any shares of, any of its capital stock or other equity interests (other than issuances of equity interests upon the exercise, exchange, or conversion of options, warrants, or other conversion privileges that are outstanding as of the date hereof and only in accordance with the terms of such options, warrants, or other conversion privileges as in effect on the date hereof);

(iii) to the extent it would materially impair the rights of the Consenting Creditors and the Company’s ability to consummate the Restructuring, and other than as required by the Plan, amend or propose to amend its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws, or comparable organizational documents;

(iv) to the extent it would materially impair the rights of the Consenting Creditors, (A) split, combine or reclassify any outstanding shares of its capital stock or other equity interests, or (B) declare, set aside or pay any dividend or other distribution payable in cash, stock, property, a combination thereof, or otherwise with respect to any of its capital stock or other equity interests or any capital stock or other equity interests of any other Person;

(v) pay or make any payment, transfer, or other distribution (whether in cash, securities, or other property) of or in respect of principal of or interest on any funded indebtedness of the Company that either (A) is expressly subordinate in right of payment to the First Lien Bond Debt or (B) secured by an interest in collateral, which interest is subordinate in priority to that securing any of the First Lien Bond Debt, or any payment or other distribution (whether in cash, securities, or other property), including any sinking fund or similar deposit, on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement, acquisition, cancellation, or termination in respect of any such funded indebtedness that is not contemplated by the Restructuring Term Sheet; or

(vi) enter into any proposed settlement (other than as contemplated by this Agreement and the Restructuring or as previously disclosed to the First Lien Professionals prior to the date hereof) of any claim, litigation, dispute, controversy, cause of action, proceeding, appeal, determination, investigation, matter, or otherwise that will materially impair the Company’s ability to consummate the Restructuring;

(f) The Company acknowledges that it has reviewed this Agreement and has decided to enter into this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Restructuring Term Sheet in the exercise of its fiduciary duties.

(g) Additional Negative Covenants of CEC. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, for the duration of the Restructuring Support Period, CEC (except with the prior written consent of the Requisite Consenting Creditors) shall not, directly or indirectly through any of its non-Debtor subsidiaries take any actions outside the ordinary course of business that would have a material adverse effect on Consenting Creditors’ recoveries under the Plan or the contributions to be provided to the Debtors under the Plan.

(d) Within five (5) Business Days after this Agreement becomes effective, the Company will report to counsel to the Consenting Creditors its calculation of the total amount of First Lien Bond Claims held by Consenting Creditors and provide documents sufficient to substantiate this calculation; provided that such calculation may be based solely on the information provided by each Consenting Creditor on its signature page(s) hereto. To the extent the Company subsequently becomes aware of any additional First Lien Bond Claims held by Consenting Creditors, it will promptly report its adjusted calculation of First Lien Bond Claims held by Consenting Creditors and provide documents sufficient to substantiate this calculation. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of determining whether Requisite Consenting Creditors have authorized or taken any action under this Agreement, the Parties will not contest any calculation of Requisite Consenting Creditors premised on the last report of the

total amount of First Lien Bond Claims held by Consenting Creditors provided by the Company to counsel for the Consenting Creditors. The Parties agree that the Company may rely entirely on information provided to it by the Consenting Creditors in making its calculation(s) pursuant to this Section 6(d), and that the Company will have no independent duty to verify or otherwise investigate the accuracy of any such information.

(c) a trustee under section 1104 of the Bankruptcy code or an examiner (with expanded powers beyond those set forth in section 1106(a)(3) and (4) of the Bankruptcy Code) shall have been appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases;

(d) the Chapter 11 Cases are converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or the Chapter 11 Cases shall have been dismissed, in each case, by order of the Bankruptcy Court, which order has not otherwise been stayed;

(e) if any of the Definitive Documentation necessary to effectuate the Restructuring (including any amendment or modification thereof) filed with the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise finalized, or has become effective, shall contain terms and conditions that are not materially consistent with this Agreement or shall otherwise not be on terms reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Consenting Creditors (as evidenced by their written approval, which approval may be conveyed in writing by counsel including by electronic mail), the Company, and CEC, and such material inconsistency remains uncured for a period of five (5) consecutive Business Days after the receipt by the Company and the Consenting Creditors of written notice of such material inconsistency;

(f) a Caesars Party, LS3, LS5, or any of their respective Affiliates files any motion or pleading with the Bankruptcy Court that is not substantially consistent with this Agreement and such motion or pleading has not been withdrawn within two (2) Business Days of each of the Company’s and the applicable filing Party’s receiving written notice from the Requisite Consenting Creditors that such motion or pleading is materially inconsistent with this Agreement, unless such motion or pleading does not seek, and could not result in, relief that would have any adverse impact on the interest of holders of First Lien Bond Claims in connection with the Restructuring; provided that CEC may only terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8(f) if CEC is materially and adversely affected by such motion or pleading;

(g) the Company executes a letter of intent (or similar document) stating its intention to pursue an Alternative Proposal;

(h) other than pursuant to any relief sought by the Company that is not materially inconsistent with its obligations hereunder, the Bankruptcy Court grants relief terminating, annulling, or modifying the automatic stay (as set forth in section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code) with regard to any assets of the Company having an aggregate fair market value in excess of $5,000,000 without the written consent of the Requisite Consenting Creditors;

(m) CEOC consents to the Involuntary Petition; or

(n) (i) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a judgment (including, without limitation, an order granting partial summary judgment) that is not subject to a stay at any time following the 10th day after the entry thereof against CEC on any of the counts asserted against it (currently or in the future) in any of the Guaranty Cases, which judgment materially and adversely affects (or would materially and adversely affect if enforced) Consenting Creditors’ ability to obtain the recoveries contemplated in the Plan, including but not limited to the value of any guaranties of indebtedness or other obligations to be provided by CEC thereunder, and/or (ii) CEC enters into a settlement or other agreement in respect of any of the counts asserted against it in any of the Guaranty Cases that materially and adversely affects (or would materially and adversely affect if consummated) Consenting Creditors’ ability to obtain the recoveries contemplated in the Plan, including but not limited to the value of any guaranties of indebtedness or other obligations to be provided by CEC thereunder; for the avoidance of doubt, the terms embodied in the restructuring agreement with certain of the Second Lien Noteholders announced in the Form 8-K filed by CEC dated July 21, 2015 (and only such terms, without amendment, as were explicitly announced therein), shall not give rise to a Creditor Termination Right under this section to the extent they are consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

9. Mutual Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement among (a) the Caesars Parties, and (b) the Requisite Consenting Creditors.

(a) the breach by any Restructuring Support Party of any of the obligations, representations, warranties, or covenants of such Restructuring Support Party set forth in this Agreement in any respect that materially and adversely affects the Company’s interests in connection with the Restructuring, which breach remains uncured for a period of five (5) consecutive Business Days after the receipt by such breaching Restructuring Support Party from the Company of written notice of such breach; provided that, with respect to a breach by one or more Consenting Creditors, the foregoing shall apply only if (x) such breaching Consenting Creditor(s) hold(s) in excess of 5.0% of First Lien Bond Claims held by all Consenting Creditors, (y) non-breaching Consenting Creditors with power to vote in favor of the Plan do not then hold at least 2/3 plus one dollar of First Lien Bond Debt (measured by notional value), or (z) such breach would otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Restructuring;

(b) the issuance, promulgation, or enactment by any governmental entity, including any regulatory or licensing authority or court of competent jurisdiction, of any statute, regulation, ruling or order declaring this Agreement or any material portion hereof to be unenforceable or enjoining or otherwise restricting the consummation of a material portion of the Restructuring (including with respect to the regulatory approvals or tax treatment contemplated by the Restructuring), which action remains uncured for a period of five (5) consecutive Business Days after the receipt by the Company and the Consenting Creditors of written notice of such event; provided that the Caesars Parties have otherwise complied with their obligations under Section 5(a)(i)(D) of this Agreement;

(d) any Party other than the Caesars Parties or their Affiliates files any motion or pleading with the Bankruptcy Court that is not substantially consistent with this Agreement and such motion or pleading has not been withdrawn or corrected within seven (7) Business Days of such Party receiving written notice from the Company that such motion or pleading is materially inconsistent with this Agreement, or CEC and/or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company) obtains relief with respect to any motion or pleading with the Bankruptcy Court that is not substantially consistent with this Agreement;

(e) CEC enters into a settlement or other agreement in respect of any of the counts asserted against it in any of the Guaranty Cases that materially and adversely affects (or would materially and adversely affect if consummated) CEC’s ability to fund the recoveries contemplated in the Plan, including but not limited with respect to the value of any guaranties of indebtedness or other obligations to be provided by CEC thereunder;

(f) if any of the Definitive Documentation (including any amendment or modification thereof) is filed with the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise finalized, or has become effective, shall contain terms and conditions that are not substantially consistent with this Agreement or shall otherwise not be on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company, and such material inconsistency remains uncured for a period of five (5) consecutive Business Days after the receipt by the Restructuring Support Parties of written notice of such material inconsistency; or

(g) the Effective Date has not occurred by the Outside Date.

11. Termination.

(a) No Party may exercise any of its respective termination rights as set forth in Section 8 or Section 10 hereof, as applicable, if such Party has failed to perform or comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (unless such failure to perform or comply arises as a result of another Party’s actions or inactions), with such failure to perform or comply causing, or resulting in, the occurrence of the Termination Event specified herein.

(b) Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, Section 9, or Section 10 hereof, all Parties shall be released from their commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any Party. Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 34 hereof, the terminating Consenting Creditor shall be released from its commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or relating to this Agreement, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of such Consenting Creditor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the termination of this Agreement by a Consenting Creditor under Section 34 hereof shall not be deemed a termination of this Agreement for purposes of the Backstop Commitment Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 11(b) hereof, in no event shall any termination of this Agreement relieve a Party from (i) liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder prior to the termination date, including but not limited to CEC’s and the Company’s obligations to pay the First Lien Professional Fees, and (ii) obligations under this Agreement which by their terms expressly survive a termination date; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Termination Event (including any automatic termination) may be waived in accordance with the procedures established by Section 14 hereof, in which case such Termination Event so waived shall be deemed not to have occurred, this Agreement consequently shall be deemed to continue in full force and effect, and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be restored, subject to any modification set forth in such waiver. Upon a Termination Event that releases a Consenting Creditor from its commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement (as set forth in Section 11(b)), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by such Consenting Creditor, any and all votes, approvals, or consents delivered by such Consenting Creditor and, as applicable, its Affiliates, subsidiaries, managed funds, representatives, agents, and employees in connection with the Restructuring prior to such termination date shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Company.

12. Transfer of Claims. The Restructuring Support Parties agree, with the exception of the permitted transfers and purchases enumerated in (a) and (b) below, that no Restructuring Support Party will, directly or indirectly, sell, contract to sell, give, assign, hypothecate, pledge, encumber, grant a security interest in, offer, sell any option or contract to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any economic, voting or other rights in or to, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively, “Transfer”), all or any portion of its First Lien Bond Claims or First Lien Bank Claims now or hereafter owned,

and no such Transfer will be effective, unless the transferee executes and provides to the Company and counsel to the Consenting Creditors a transfer agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E within two (2) Business Days of the execution of an agreement (or trade confirmation) in respect of such Transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Caesars Parties agree that any such transfer agreement shall be included in the definition of “Confidential Claims Information” in Section 5(a)(iii) hereof. In addition to the foregoing Transfer, the following Transfers shall be permitted:

(a) any Transfer by one Consenting Creditor to an Affiliate of such Consenting Creditor or one or more of its affiliated funds or an affiliated entity or entities with a common investment advisor or investment manager (in each case, other than portfolio companies); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any transferee under this Section 12(a) shall be deemed a Consenting Creditor for purposes of this Agreement, effective as of the date of the Transfer, and any transferor under this Section 12(a) shall remain liable in all respects for any breach of this Agreement by such transferee; and

(b) any Transfer by one Consenting Creditor to another Consenting Creditor.

Any Transfer of any Restructuring Support Party’s First Lien Bond Claims or First Lien Bank Claims that does not comply with the foregoing shall be deemed void ab initio; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that upon any purchase, acquisition, or assumption by any Restructuring Support Party of any Claims (including but not limited to First Lien Bond Claims and First Lien Bank Claims), such Claims shall automatically be deemed to be subject to all the terms of this Agreement. The restrictions in this Agreement are in addition to any Transfer restrictions in the Credit Agreement, the First Lien Indentures, and Non-First Lien Indentures, and in the event of a conflict the Transfer restrictions contained in this Agreement shall control; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict, waive, or suspend any consent right the Company may have with respect to any Transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Qualified Marketmaker, acting solely in its capacity as such, that acquires any First Lien Bond Claim or First Lien Bank Claim subject to this Agreement shall not be required to execute a Transfer Agreement or otherwise agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth herein if, and only if, such Qualified Marketmaker sells or assigns such First Lien Bond Claim or First Lien Bank Claim within ten (10) Business Days of its acquisition and the purchaser or assignee of such First Lien Bond Claim or First Lien Bank Claim is a Consenting Creditor or an entity that executes and provides a Transfer Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth herein; provided that if a Qualified Marketmaker, acting solely in its capacity as such, acquires First Lien Bond Debt or First Lien Bank Debt from an entity who is not a Consenting Creditor with respect to such debt (collectively, “Qualified Unrestricted Claims”), such Qualified Marketmaker may Transfer any right, title or interest in such Qualified Unrestricted Claims without the requirement that the transferee execute a Transfer Agreement; provided further that any such Qualified Marketmaker that is a Party to this Agreement shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 2(a)(iii) hereof) with respect to Qualified Unrestricted Claims pending the completion of any such Transfer.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) to the extent that a Restructuring Support Party effects the Transfer of all of its Claims in accordance with this Agreement, such Restructuring Support Party shall cease to be a Party to this Agreement in all respects and shall have no further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if such Restructuring Support Party acquires a Claim at any point thereafter, it shall be deemed to be a Party to this Agreement on the same terms as if it had not effected a Transfer of all of its Claims; and (b) subject to Section 2(a)(iii) hereof, to the extent that a Restructuring Support Party effects the Transfer of a Claim that it holds as a participant (and not grantor) pursuant to a participation agreement with voting provisions substantially similar to those set forth in the form of participation agreement produced by the Loan Syndications & Trading Association, the transferee thereof shall not be required to execute a Transfer Agreement.

13. Cooperation. Before the filing of and during the Chapter 11 Cases, (i) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to counsel for the Consenting Creditors (a) drafts of all material motions, applications (other than applications seeking to retain professional advisors), and other documents the Company intends to file with the Bankruptcy Court, no less than three (3) Business Days before the date when the Company intends to file any such document unless such advance notice is impossible or impracticable under the circumstances, in which case the Company shall notify telephonically or by electronic mail counsel to the Consenting Creditors to advise it of the documents to be filed and the facts that make the provision of advance copies no less than three (3) Business Days before submission impossible or impracticable, and shall provide such copies as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, and (b) copies of all material documents actually filed by the Company with the Bankruptcy Court promptly but not later than one (1) day after such filing.

14. Amendments. No amendment, modification, waiver, or other supplement of the terms of this Agreement (including the Restructuring Term Sheet) shall be valid unless such amendment, modification, waiver, or other supplement is in writing and has been signed by the Caesars Parties, the Requisite Consenting Creditors, LS3, and LS5; provided, however, that:

(a) no such consents shall be required from any Consenting Creditor with respect to any modification or amendment or any other agreement, document or other instrument implementing the Restructuring, regarding the treatment of Claims other than with respect to First Lien Bond Claims, so long as it would not, reasonably construed, have an adverse impact on the interests of holders of First Lien Bond Claims (including with respect to the form or value of recoveries to be provided on account of such Claims pursuant to the Restructuring, including the value of any guaranties of indebtedness or other obligations to be provided by CEC thereunder), in their capacities as such, in connection with the Restructuring;

(b) any amendment to this Agreement to (i) the defined terms “Consenting Creditors” or “Requisite Consenting Creditors” or (ii) Section 12 hereof, shall require the written consent of the Company, CEC and each Consenting Creditor;

(c) any amendment that would materially and adversely affect any Consenting Creditor that is a holder of First Lien Bond Claims, solely in its capacity as such, in a manner that is disproportionate to any other holder of First Lien Bond Claims, solely in its capacity as such, shall require the prior written consent of the adversely affected Consenting Creditor;

(d) for the avoidance of doubt, any waiver of the conditions to the effectiveness of this Agreement set forth by Section 15 hereof may be waived only upon the express written consent of each of the Caesars Parties;

(e) the Company may waive application of the representations and warranties set forth by Section 7(a)(ii) and Section 7(a)(iii) hereof in all or in part with respect to any Consenting Creditor in its sole discretion, but in consultation with CEC;

(f) any amendment to this Agreement to the defined term “Initial Consenting Creditor” shall require the written consent of the Company, CEC, and each Initial Consenting Creditor;

(g) any amendment, modification, supplement or other change with respect to the amount, form, timing, economics or value or any party’s entitlement to the RSA Forbearance Fees as set forth herein and in the Restructuring Term Sheet shall require the written consent of the Company, CEC and such party;

(h) in addition to the rights of the Required Preferred Backstop Investors in the Backstop Commitment Agreement, any amendment, modification, waiver, or supplement of or to the terms of this Agreement, its Exhibits, or the Plan that, reasonably construed, adversely affects the Backstop Commitment Agreement or the PropCo Preferred Equity shall require the express written consent of the Required Preferred Backstop Investors, and any such amendment, modification, waiver or supplement not in compliance with this provision shall be deemed null and void ab initio. If any plan of reorganization is proposed that fails to adopt and implement the Backstop Commitment Agreement and the PropCo Preferred Equity as set forth herein (as such may be modified in accordance with this Section 14(h), then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Preferred Backstop Investor shall be deemed fully excused from further performance under this Agreement. Any amendment, modification, waiver, or removal of this Section 14(h) shall require the express written consent of the Required Preferred Backstop Investors (and not the Requisite Consenting Creditors); and

(i) any amendment to Sections 14(b), 14(c), 14(f), 14(g) or this 14(i) hereof shall require the consent of each Consenting Creditor.

15. [Reserved].

16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Restructuring Term Sheet and the Cash Collateral Stipulation, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided, however, that any confidentiality agreement executed by any Restructuring Support Party shall survive this Agreement and shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

17. Survival of Agreement. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is being executed in connection with negotiations concerning a possible restructuring of the Company and in contemplation of possible filings by the Company under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (a) the exercise of the rights granted in this Agreement (including giving of notice of termination) shall not be a violation of the automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) the Company hereby waives its right to assert a contrary position in the Chapter 11 Cases, if any, with respect to the foregoing. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that, if a CEC Bankruptcy Event occurs, (a) the exercise of the rights granted in this Agreement (including giving of notice of termination) shall not be a violation of the automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any CEC bankruptcy and (b) CEC hereby waives its right to assert a contrary position in any such bankruptcy with respect to the foregoing and agrees that it will cooperate fully with Consenting Creditors in obtaining a modification of the automatic stay to the extent necessary to permit Consenting Creditors to exercise their rights under this Agreement.

18. No Waiver of Participation and Preservation of Rights. If the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated, or following the occurrence of the termination of this Agreement with respect to all Parties, if applicable, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights, remedies, claims, and defenses and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims and defenses.

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall constitute the same instrument and the counterparts may be delivered by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf).

20. Company Fiduciary Duties.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall otherwise require the Company or any directors, officers, or members of the Company, each in its capacity as a director, officer, or member of the Company, to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent inconsistent with its or their fiduciary obligations under applicable law (as reasonably determined by them in good faith after consultation with legal counsel).

(b) All Consenting Creditors reserve all rights they may have, including the right (if any) to challenge any exercise by the Company of its fiduciary duties.

21. Headings. The headings of the Sections, paragraphs, and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof.

22. Relationship Among Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Restructuring Support Parties under this Agreement shall be several, not joint. No Restructuring Support Party shall, as a result of its entering into and performing its obligations under this Agreement, be deemed to be part of a “group” (as that term is used in section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) with any of the other Restructuring Support Parties. It is understood and agreed that no Consenting Creditor has any duty of trust or confidence in any kind or form with any other Consenting Creditor, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, there are no commitments among or between them. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Consenting Creditor may trade in the Claims or other debt or equity securities of the Company without the consent of the Company or any other Consenting Creditor, subject to applicable securities laws, the terms of this Agreement, and the terms of the First Lien Bank Documents and the First Lien Indentures; provided, however, that no Consenting Creditor shall have any responsibility for any such trading to any other entity by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Consenting Creditors shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement.

23. Specific Performance; Remedies Cumulative. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that, without limiting any other remedies available at law or equity, money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach, including, without limitation, an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each of the Parties hereby waives any defense that a remedy at law is adequate and any requirement to post bond or other security in connection with actions instituted for injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable remedies.

24. No Commitment. No Restructuring Support Party shall be obligated to fund or otherwise be committed to provide funding in connection with the Restructuring, except pursuant to a separate commitment letter or definitive documentation relating specifically to such funding, if any, that has been (i) executed by such Restructuring Support Party and (ii) approved by the Bankruptcy Court, as necessary, along with the satisfaction of any conditions precedent to such funding requirements.

25. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to such state’s choice of law provisions which would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. Each of the Parties hereby agrees that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement; provided however, that if a CEC Bankruptcy Event occurs, the court in which the proceeding initiated by such CEC Bankruptcy Event is pending shall have concurrent jurisdiction to enforce CEC’s compliance with this Agreement.

26. Notices. All notices, requests, documents delivered, and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered personally, by facsimile transmission, mailed (first class postage prepaid) or by electronic mail (“e-mail”) to the Parties at the following addresses, facsimile numbers, or e-mail addresses:

Unless expressly stated herein, the terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the Parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.

28. Conflicts Between the Restructuring Term Sheet and this Agreement. In the event of any conflict among the terms and provisions in the Restructuring Term Sheet and this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Restructuring Term Sheet shall control. Nothing contained in this Section 28 shall affect, in any way, the requirements set forth herein for the amendment of this Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet as set forth in Section 14 herein.

29. Settlement Discussions. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than to prove the existence of this Agreement or in a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

30. Good-Faith Cooperation; Further Assurances. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith in respect of matters concerning the implementation and consummation of the Restructuring.

31. Access. The Company will promptly provide the First Lien Professionals reasonable access, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours to relevant properties, books, contracts (including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases), commitments, records, management and executive personnel, and advisors of the Company (other than with respect to materials subject to attorney-client privilege or where granting such access is prohibited by law); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations hereunder shall be conditioned upon such Party being party to an appropriate confidentiality agreement or undertaking; provided, further, however, that any existing confidentiality agreements entered into between the Company or CEC, on one hand, and a Party, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be appropriate.

32. Qualification on Consenting Creditor Representations. The Parties acknowledge that all representations, warranties, covenants, and other agreements made by any Consenting Creditor that is a separately managed account of an investment manager are being made only with respect to the Claims managed by such investment manager (in the amount identified on the signature pages hereto), and shall not apply to (or be deemed to be made in relation to) any Claims that may be beneficially owned by such Consenting Creditor that are not held through accounts managed by such investment manager.

33. Publicity. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to submit drafts to the First Lien Professionals of any press releases and public documents that constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such disclosure, and shall afford them a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to comment on such documents and disclosures and shall incorporate any such reasonable comments in good faith.

34. Additional Consideration. To the extent that a holder of First Lien Bank Debt, in its capacity as such, receives Additional Bank Consideration in connection with the Restructuring, such Additional Bank Consideration shall be made available to all Consenting Creditors that are holders of First Lien Bank Claims, in their capacities as such, on the same terms and on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective First Lien Bank Claims holdings. Any Consenting Creditor that is a holder of First Lien Bank Claims who is not accorded such Additional Bank Consideration shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Parties in accordance with Section 26 hereof; provided that such termination shall only be with respect to the terminating Consenting Creditor, and not with respect to any non-terminating Parties.

To the extent that a holder of First Lien Bond Debt, in its capacity as such, receives Additional Bond Consideration in connection with the Restructuring, such Additional Bond Consideration shall be made available to all Consenting Creditors that are holders of First Lien Bond Claims, in their capacities as such, on the same terms and on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective First Lien Bond Claims holdings. Any Consenting Creditor that is a holder of First Lien Bond Claims who is not accorded such Additional Bond Consideration shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Parties in accordance with Section 26 hereof; provided that such termination shall only be with respect to the terminating Consenting Creditor, and not with respect to any non-terminating Parties.

35. CEC Bankruptcy or Similar Proceeding. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or impair in any way a Consenting Creditor’s, the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s respective rights or ability to appear in or take any other action to protect its interests (or, in the case of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, the interests of their beneficiaries) in connection with any proceeding related to a CEC Bankruptcy Event.

36. Condition to Effectiveness of Fourth Amended & Restated Restructuring Support and Forbearance Agreement. This Agreement (and the obligations of the Parties hereunder) shall not become effective or enforceable against or by any of the Parties until it has been signed by the Requisite Consenting Creditors, the Caesars Parties, and LS3 and LS5; provided that if this condition is not met on or before the date that is fourteen (14) days after the filing by CEC of a Form 8-K or other public announcement disclosing the proposed terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio and of no force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision may only be waived upon the written agreement of the Parties.

SUMMARY TERM SHEET FOR PROPOSED RESTRUCTURING¹²

CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT OPERATING COMPANY, INC.

(“CEOC” and together with its direct or indirect subsidiaries that are the debtors in the chapter 11 cases

pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, jointly administered

under Case No. 15-01145, the “Company”)

¹	Nothing herein shall be deemed to be the solicitation of an acceptance or rejection of a plan of reorganization; any such solicitation shall be in compliance with the relevant provisions of securities laws, the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable statutes and rules.

²	This Term Sheet is an exhibit to, and part of, the Fourth Amended & Restated Restructuring Support and Forbearance Agreement (the “*RSA*”), which contains additional descriptive language and legal terms in respect of the Company’s restructuring.

I.	Summary of Proposed Treatment³


Holders of the obligations (the “*First Lien Bank Obligations”) under the First Lien Bank Documents⁴ ($5,357 million plus interest thereon accrued through the Petition Date) and swaps entered into pursuant to First Lien Bank Documents ($42 million) (collectively, the “First Lien Bank Lenders*”)		Each First Lien Bank Lender shall receive its pro rata share of (a) $705 million in cash, (b) $882 million in New First Lien OpCo Debt (or cash in lieu thereof if such debt is syndicated as described in the description of the New First Lien OpCo Debt below), (c) $406 million of New Second Lien OpCo Debt, (d) $1,961 million in New First Lien PropCo Debt, and (e) $1,450 million in additional cash if the full amount of the CPLV Market Debt is financed for cash and, if not fully financed, Mezzanine CPLV Debt for the portion not so financed subject to the limitations set forth herein⁵. Each First Lien Bank Lender waives any entitlement to post-petition interest to the extent First Lien Noteholders do not receive post-petition interest.

Secured claims of Holders of the obligations (the “*First Lien Note Obligations”) under the First Lien Indentures ($6,345 million plus interest thereon accrued through the Petition Date) (the “First Lien Noteholders*”)		Each First Lien Noteholder shall receive in respect of its secured claim, its pro rata share of (a) $207 million in cash, (b) $306 million in New First Lien OpCo Debt (or cash in lieu thereof if such debt is syndicated as described in the description of the New First Lien OpCo Debt below), (c) $141 million of New Second Lien OpCo Debt, (d) $431 million in New First Lien PropCo Debt, (e) $1,425 million in New Second Lien PropCo Debt, (f) $1,150 million in additional cash if the CPLV Market Debt is financed for cash and, if not fully financed, Mezzanine CPLV Debt for the portion not so financed subject to the limitations set forth herein, (g) 69.9% directly or indirectly of the common equity of PropCo⁶ on a fully diluted basis (excluding dilution from Bank Mezzanine Transfer Amount and PropCo Preferred Equity, if applicable), (or cash to the extent of any Equity Rights exercised and/ or such Holder exercises its Put Option, as further described below), (h) 100% of the OpCo New Common Stock (or, at its option, cash in the event such Holder exercises its Put Option, as further described below) and (i) the Additional Consideration (if applicable).

Administrative, priority and critical trade claims shall be paid in full in cash as soon as practicable following consummation of the Restructuring or as otherwise provided for in definitive documentation. The plan may provide for separate classification for general unsecured claims on terms and with treatment that is reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Consenting Creditors (as defined in the RSA).

⁴	Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the RSA.

⁵

The First Lien Bank Lenders may choose to have up to $100 million of Mezzanine CPLV Debt they are to receive converted to a corresponding amount of New First Lien OpCo Debt, New Second Lien OpCo Debt, New First Lien PropCo Debt, New Second Lien PropCo Debt or equity in PropCo (the “Bank Mezzanine Transfer Amount”).

⁶

Pending regulatory and REIT requirements, the First Lien Noteholders will receive their interest in PropCo indirectly through REIT New Common Stock (as opposed to directly through PropCo New LP Interests as Caesars Entertainment Company or its designee (“CEC”) and CEOC will). “PropCo Common Stock” means PropCo New LP Interests or REIT New Common Stock, as applicable.



		As more fully described under Put Options, Equity Rights and Purchase Option (and subject to the limitations set forth therein), each First Lien Noteholder (a) will have the opportunity to be a Put Participant and sell the right to receive under the Plan some or all of its OpCo New Common Stock and PropCo Common Stock to the Backstop Parties for cash, (b) will have the opportunity to purchase PropCo Preferred Equity and/or (c) may receive cash from the Non-First Lien Noteholders for the right to receive some or all of their PropCo Common Stock in connection with the exercise of the Equity Rights. If the First Lien Noteholders fully exercise the Put Options, the First Lien Noteholders, on an aggregate basis, will receive an additional $969 million in cash and a corresponding decrease in their equity recoveries, as more fully described in Section II below under “Put Options Price.”

Deficiency Claims of First Lien Noteholders and all claims of non-critical trade creditors and Holders of the obligations (collectively the “*Non-First Lien Obligations”) under (a) the Second Lien Indentures ($5,238 million plus interest thereon accrued through the Petition Date) (the “Second Lien Noteholders,” and such obligations, “Second Lien Obligations”), (b) the guaranteed unsecured indentures ($479 million plus interest thereon accrued through the Petition Date) (the “Unsecured Guaranteed Noteholders,” and such obligations, “Unsecured Guaranteed Obligations”), and (c) the unsecured note indentures ($530 million plus interest thereon accrued through the Petition Date) (the “Unsecured Noteholders,” and such obligations, “Unsecured Noteholder Obligations,” and with the Unsecured Guaranteed Obligations, the “Unsecured Debt Obligations,” and the Unsecured Noteholders collectively with the Second Lien Noteholders and Unsecured Guaranteed Noteholders, the “Non-First Lien Noteholders*”)		If the Non-First Lien Noteholders, and with respect to their deficiency claims, the First Lien Noteholders, vote as a class to accept the Plan, then the First Lien Noteholders will, solely in their capacity as such, waive or assign at CEOC’s direction distributions in respect of their deficiency claims and distributions under the turnover provisions in all intercreditor agreements, and each Non-First Lien Noteholder shall receive its pro rata share of an amount of 30.1% of the PropCo Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (excluding dilution from Bank Mezzanine Transfer Amount and PropCo Preferred Equity, if applicable), which shall be deemed to include consideration for the value of any unencumbered assets. And, as more fully described under the Equity Right, if the Non-First Lien Noteholders vote as a class to accept the Plan, each Non-First Lien Noteholder shall also have the option to be a Rights Participant. If the Non-First Lien Noteholders, and with respect to their deficiency claims, the First Lien Noteholders, do not vote as a class to accept the Plan, then each Non-First Lien Noteholder shall receive its pro rata share of 17.5% of the PropCo Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (excluding dilution from Bank Mezzanine Transfer Amount and PropCo Preferred Equity, if applicable), which shall be deemed to include consideration for the value of any unencumbered assets. The First Lien Noteholders will waive or assign at CEOC’s direction distributions in respect of their deficiency claims and distributions under the turnover provisions in all intercreditor agreements on account of the 17.5% of equity to the Non-First Lien Noteholders. If the Non-First Lien Noteholders, and with respect to their deficiency claims, the First Lien Noteholders, do not vote as a class to accept the Plan, then the remaining 12.6% of the PropCo Common Stock shall be allocated to the other holders of PropCo, excluding the Non-First Lien Noteholders, based on their pro rata ownership in PropCo (after giving effect to the exercise of the Put Options). The Plan may provide for the separate classification of Non-First Lien Noteholders in separate classes or subclasses in a manner not inconsistent with this Term Sheet.

II.

Put Options, Equity Rights and Purchase Option⁷


Put Options		Each First Lien Noteholder shall have the option to put some or all of its right under the Plan to receive (i) the OpCo New Common Stock it would otherwise receive pursuant to the Plan (the “*OpCo New Common Stock Put Options”); and/ or (ii) the PropCo Common Stock it would otherwise receive pursuant to the Plan (provided that no more than 14.8% (excluding dilution from Bank Mezzanine Transfer Amount and PropCo Preferred Equity, if applicable) of such interests are put in the aggregate) (the “REIT New Common Stock Put Options” and, together with OpCo New Common Stock Put Options, the “Put Options”), and to instead receive cash as described below under “Put Options Price,” in which case CEC and any other Backstop Parties will purchase such equity interests as further described below, subject in the case of PropCo Common Stock to the exercise of the Equity Rights described below, provided however that, in the event the UPREIT Structure is used (as defined herein), the First Lien Noteholders shall be required to put at least 5% of their PropCo Common Stock to CEC. The Put Options must be selected in connection with plan solicitation provided that with respect to First Lien Noteholders that are parties to the RSA, elections to exercise the OpCo New Common Stock Put Options were made at the time of execution of the RSA and such elections remain in place. Each First Lien Noteholder that exercises any of its Put Options in whole or in part shall be referred to herein as a “Put Participant*.”

Put Options Allocation Between the Backstop Parties		As detailed in Annex I, CEC shall purchase the right to receive all the OpCo New Common Stock subject to the OpCo New Common Stock Put Options and the PropCo Common Stock subject to the REIT New Common Stock Put Options exercised by the Put Participants.

⁷

For tax efficiency or other purposes, the cash consideration to be paid to First Lien Noteholders through the exercise of either the Put Options or the Equity Rights may flow through the Company to the First Lien Noteholders as part of their recovery under the Plan as direct payments of cash, rather than be paid in respect of the receipt of stock or Mezz Equitized Debt or be paid directly by the Backstop Parties and/or the Rights Participants. The Company and CEC shall consult with the First Lien Professionals in respect of the preceding and, if the decision could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the recovery of the First Lien Noteholders (in form, value, or otherwise as determined by the Requisite Consenting Creditors), it shall be subject to the reasonable consent of the Requisite Consenting Creditors.


		The First Lien Noteholders may elect to become backstop parties (together with CEC, the “*Backstop Parties*”) (which election shall be made in connection with plan solicitation) and purchase a portion of the PropCo Common Stock subject to the REIT New Common Stock Put Options. First Lien Noteholders who wish to become Backstop Parties must make any required investor representations required for federal and state securities law purposes. The Backstop Parties shall receive no fee for purchasing or agreeing to purchase the equity subject to the Put Participants’ Put Options.

Put Options Price		The Put Options shall be at a price per share implying a total value of $700 million for 100% of the OpCo New Common Stock and $269 million for 14.8% of the PropCo Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (excluding dilution from Bank Mezzanine Transfer Amount and PropCo Preferred Equity, if applicable).

Equity Rights		Subject to the terms below, the “*Equity Rights” as detailed below shall occur and each Non-First Lien Noteholder shall have the non-transferable right to be a “Rights Participant.”⁸ Each Rights Participant may elect to purchase (with the purchase immediately occurring after the closing of the Put Option) the right to receive its pro rata share of the greater of (a) 5% of the PropCo Common Stock to be distributed to the First Lien Noteholders if the holders of at least 66.66% of the Non-First Lien Obligations execute the RSA (or a similar restructuring support agreement agreeable to CEOC and CEC and consistent with the terms of the RSA) on or before 90 days from the date the Fourth Amended and Restated RSA becomes effective pursuant to Section 36 thereof (the “RSA Effective Date”) or 2.5% of such PropCo Common Stock if such holders do not so execute by such date and (b) the First Lien Election Amount (as defined below) from the First Lien Noteholders (the “Equity Rights*”), subject to being cut back on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Equity Rights exercised. Any Non-First Lien Noteholder exercising an Equity Right must (a) make any required investor representations required for federal and state securities law purposes and (b) execute the RSA (or a similar restructuring support agreement agreeable to CEOC and CEC and consistent with the terms of the RSA). Each Non-First Lien Noteholder shall have 90 days, subject to the terms below, from the date hereof to execute the RSA (or a similar restructuring support agreement agreeable to CEOC and CEC and consistent with the

⁸

The dates by which Rights Participant may exercise the Equity Rights may be extended as may be mutually agreed to by the Company, CEC, and the Requisite Consenting Creditors, each in their reasonable discretion to the extent such extensions may be necessary in accordance with generally applicable law.

terms of the RSA), become a Rights Participant, and elect whether to exercise its Equity Rights, which Equity Rights shall be subject to and contingent on the Non-First Lien Noteholders voting as a class (or all Non-First Lien Noteholder classes if applicable) to accept the Plan as part of Plan solicitation.

For those Non-First Lien Noteholders becoming Rights Participants with respect to any series of Non-First Lien Obligations from, or prior to, the RSA Effective Date, for every $1 of PropCo Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Equity Rights, the Rights Participant shall also purchase $0.50 of CPLV Mezzanine Debt to be received by the First Lien Noteholders at par until there is no more such CPLV Mezzanine Debt to purchase, then New Second Lien OpCo Debt to be received by the First Lien Noteholders at par until there is no more such New Second Lien OpCo Debt to purchase, then New First Lien OpCo Debt to be received by the First Lien Noteholders at par until there is no more such New First Lien OpCo Debt to purchase, then New Second Lien PropCo Debt to be received by the First Lien Noteholders at par until there is no more such New Second Lien PropCo Debt to purchase (such debt, the “Equity Rights Debt”).

For those Non-First Lien Noteholders becoming Rights Participants with respect to any series of Non-First Lien Obligations from 31 days following the RSA Effective Date until 60 day days following the RSA Effective Date, for every $1 of PropCo Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Equity Rights, the Rights Participant shall also purchase $0.60 of Equity Rights Debt at par in the same order as set forth above.

For those Non-First Lien Noteholders becoming Rights Participants with respect to any series of Non-First Lien Obligations from 61 days following the RSA Effective Date until 90 days following the RSA Effective Date, for every $1 of PropCo Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Equity Rights, the Rights Participant shall also purchase $0.70 of Equity Rights Debt at par in the same order as set forth above.

The Rights Participants must make their purchases of PropCo Common Stock (and the corresponding Equity Rights Debt) first from the First Lien Noteholders who elect to sell to the Rights Participants pursuant to the Put Rights (the “Electing First Lien Sellers”) (pro rata among the Electing First Lien Sellers) with such election to exercise the Put Rights to be made in connection with plan solicitation and second from the First Lien Noteholders who are not Electing First Lien Sellers (pro rata among such First Lien Noteholders), provided that the aggregate amount of PropCo Common Stock purchased from non-Electing First Lien Sellers shall not exceed the difference between the First Lien Election Amount and 5% of the PropCo Common Stock to be distributed to all First Lien Noteholders (or 2.5% if holders of 66.66% of the Non-First Lien Obligations do not execute the RSA (or a similar restructuring support agreement agreeable to CEOC and CEC and consistent with the terms of the RSA) on or before 90 days following the RSA Effective Date.


		The “*First Lien Election Amount*” means the aggregate amount of PropCo Common Stock elected to be sold by the Electing First Lien Sellers to the Rights Participants in connection with Plan solicitation. For the avoidance of doubt, the First Lien Noteholders must sell their respective right to receive PropCo Common Stock (and the Equity Rights Debt), pursuant to the terms of the Equity Rights, to the Rights Participants. The Rights Participants shall receive no fee for acting as Rights Participants. The procedures implementing the Equity Rights and exercise thereof shall be subject to the reasonable consent of the Requisite Consenting Creditors.

Equity Rights Price		The Equity Rights shall be at the same price per share as the Put Option.

Purchase Option⁹		Each First Lien Noteholder shall have the non-transferable option to purchase its pro rata share (based on its holdings of the First Lien Note Obligations) of at least 50% of the PropCo Preferred Equity (as defined below), with such purchases proportionally diluting the PropCo Preferred Equity purchased by the Preferred Backstop Investors (as defined in the Backstop Commitment Agreement to be attached hereto).

Purchase Option Price		The Purchase Option shall be at a price per share implying a total value of $250 million for every $300 million of PropCo Preferred Equity.

Regulatory Requirements		All parties shall abide by, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, any regulatory and licensing requirements or approvals to consummate the Restructuring as promptly as practicable including, but not limited to requirements or approvals that may arise as a result of such party’s equity holdings in the REIT, PropCo or OpCo, as the case may be.

⁹

For tax efficiency or other purposes, rather than being issued to the Preferred Backstop Investors and electing First Lien Noteholders for cash, the PropCo Preferred Equity (including any issued pursuant to the Preferred Equity Upsize) may, following consultation with, and consent from, the First Lien Professionals (in their sole and absolute discretion), be issued directly to the First Lien Noteholders subject to (a) the right of the First Lien Noteholders to put up to 100% of such PropCo Preferred Equity to the Preferred Backstop Investors for $250 million in cash (plus the equivalent purchase price of any Preferred Equity Upsize), and (b) the right of the Preferred Backstop Investors to call up to 50% of such PropCo Preferred Equity (excluding any Preferred Equity Upsize) from the First Lien Noteholders for $125 million in cash. In such case the First Lien Noteholders’ direct cash distribution from CEOC would be reduced by $250 million plus the equivalent purchase price of any Preferred Equity Upsize. For the avoidance of doubt, this change in the manner in which the PropCo Preferred Equity may be issued shall not adversely affect the First Lien Noteholders’ recoveries under the Plan on account of First Lien Note Obligations.


		Such parties receiving equity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with, and timely obtain and submit, all applicable licensing materials and information to, applicable gaming authorities throughout any regulatory or licensing process, including without limitation with respect to any applicable license, permit, or finding of suitability, and shall cause any individual subject to regulatory, licensing, or suitability approval to similarly cooperate and provide all such relevant materials and information. To facilitate regulatory approvals and prompt consummation of the Restructuring, any party signing the RSA must irrevocably elect upon execution of the RSA the amount of Put Options with respect to OpCo New Common Stock. The Company and its affiliates will assist with required regulatory approvals and structuring issues, including common stock voting structures to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. To the extent any required regulatory approvals are not obtained by the Closing of the Restructuring, the parties agree to work together to facilitate consummation of the Restructuring as promptly as practicable. Actions to be taken may include entering into transactions to permit the Closing to occur while such regulatory approvals are pending (alternate temporary structures), temporary escrowing of equity and/or selling down equity below regulatory threshold levels. Any actions proposed to be taken in connection with obtaining regulatory approvals that adversely affect any First Lien Noteholder, in an economic or other material respect, must be reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Consenting Creditors, and will be binding on all First Lien Noteholders.

REIT and Separation Structure Requirements		To the extent any party would otherwise receive more than 9.8% of the outstanding REIT New Common Stock and/or PropCo Preferred Equity, such party shall instead receive direct PropCo New LP Interests equal to the value of such REIT New Common Stock and/or PropCo Preferred Equity above 9.8%, except to the extent that a First Lien Noteholder enters into an ownership limit waiver agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex VII, provided however, that in the event the Spin (as defined below) is to be utilized and any party would otherwise receive more than 49.8% of the REIT New Common Stock and/or PropCo Preferred Equity, such party shall instead receive direct PropCo New LP Interests equal to the value of such REIT New Common Stock and/or PropCo Preferred Equity above 49.8%.

Closing		The Put Options and Equity Rights will close immediately following distribution of the equity securities under the Plan (it being understood that the exercise date for the Put Options and Equity Rights will be set forth in the solicitation materials and shall occur on a date determined by the Company prior to the projected effective date of the Plan).¹⁰

¹⁰

Put Options Conditions Precedent

The exercise of the Put Options and Equity Rights will be subject to customary conditions precedent including:

• the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered orders (a) approving the disclosure statement in respect of the Plan and (b) confirming the Plan;

• the effective date of the Plan shall have occurred;

• all regulatory approvals, or waiting periods, shall have been received or expired; and

• other customary conditions precedent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Backstop Parties, and the Requisite Consenting Creditors.

III.

The REIT and Equity Securities

REIT

The Company shall restructure itself upon consummation of the Restructuring as a separate operating company (“OpCo”), and property company (“PropCo”). Pursuant to the Restructuring a real estate investment trust (the “REIT”) will be formed to own and control the general partner of PropCo (“PropCo GP”) and to hold PropCo New LP Interests.

The separation of the Company into OpCo, PropCo and the REIT (the “Separation Structure”) will be accomplished through either (a) the tax free contribution of PropCo assets to the REIT in a tax-free reorganization qualifying under Section 368(a)(1)(G) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) (such structure, the “Spin”), provided however, that in lieu of the Spin, the separation will be accomplished by (b) a tax-free contribution of PropCo assets to the PropCo partnership in a transaction qualifying under section 721 of the Code (the “UPREIT Structure”) if (i) the Company is

unable to receive a favorable private letter ruling from the IRS (the “Spin Ruling”) or a “should” level opinion of counsel (the “Spin Opinion”), concluding, in either case, based on facts, customary representations (and certain customary assumptions, in the case of a Spin Opinion) set forth or described in the Spin Ruling or Spin Opinion, that the Spin qualifies under Section 368(a)(1)(G) of the Code, (ii) at the election of the Requisite Consenting Creditors if the Estimated REIT E&P (as defined below) exceeds $1.6 billion or (iii) at the election of the Company and CEC, with the consent of the Requisite Consenting Creditors, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In either event, (x) the distribution of the new equity and debt will be made in a manner that will not generate taxable income to the Company other than cancellation of indebtedness income, and (y) the Company and CEC shall regularly consult and coordinate with the First Lien Professionals on the Separation Structure and all decisions that may materially affect the tax consequences thereof to the First Lien Noteholders.

No later than 50 days prior to the deadline for voting on the Plan, the Company will deliver to the Consenting Creditors its reasonable estimate of the earnings and profits of the REIT (i) as of, and assuming an effective date of the Plan on June 30, 2016, (ii) calculated using the implied equity values in this term sheet and valuing all new debt at par, treating all First Lien Bank Lenders as electing to be Settling First Lien Bank Lenders (except to the extent, as of the date of the delivery of the estimate, any First Lien Bank Lenders have elected otherwise or are no longer eligible to so elect in accordance with the terms of the RSA), assuming no PropCo Equity Upsize occurs and treating all payments made to any creditors of the Company in accordance with the RSA (or any other agreement entered into prior to the delivery of the estimate) as reducing earnings and profits and (iii) computed as if all of the PropCo New LP Interests are held through the REIT (the “Estimated REIT E&P”), together with supporting work papers. The Consenting Creditors shall have 20 days to review the Company’s calculation of the Estimated REIT E&P and provide any proposed revisions to the Company, and the Company and the Consenting Creditors agree to negotiate in good faith such proposed revisions and to attempt to resolve any differences between the parties within 10 days of the receipt of such proposed revisions. In the event the parties reach agreement as to the amount of the Estimated REIT E&P such Estimated REIT E&P shall be final and binding as among the Company and the Consenting Creditors for purposes of the preceding paragraph. In the event the parties do not reach agreement on the amount of the Estimated REIT E&P, then the determination of the Estimated REIT E&P shall be made by an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Company and the Consenting Creditors.


		The Company, CEC and the Consenting Creditors shall cooperate in good faith to effectuate the Restructuring in a manner that will (1) minimize the amount of the earnings and profits of Caesars World, Inc. (and any other subsidiaries of CEOC with separate return limitation years) that will be included in the earnings and profits of the REIT and (2) if so requested by the Requisite Consenting Creditors, use cash otherwise payable to First Lien Noteholders in respect of their claims to pay a portion of the “purging dividend” payable by the REIT to such First Lien Noteholders with respect to their REIT New Common Stock, in both cases consistent with the terms of the RSA.

Equity Securities		The common equity securities to be issued will consist of new shares of common stock (a) of the REIT (such stock, the “*REIT New Common Stock”) and (b) of OpCo (such stock, the “OpCo New Common Stock”). Such securities will be freely transferable to the extent provided under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Boards of Directors of CEOC, OpCo and the REIT shall each use its reasonable best efforts to have the OpCo New Common Stock, if more than 30% of the OpCo New Common Stock is owned by the First Lien Noteholders and Non-First Lien Noteholders (the “Non-CEC Holders*”), and the REIT New Common Stock, respectively, (a) registered under US securities laws and (b) listed on a nationally recognized exchange, as soon as practicable subject to meeting applicable listing requirements following the effective date of the Plan. A registration statement covering the REIT Common Stock (and if applicable, a registration statement covering the OpCo New Common Stock) shall be filed as soon as practicable following the Effective Date of the Plan and in any event within 75 days thereafter. The Board of Directors of CEOC shall consult with First Lien Professionals on the form and substance of the registration statement(s). The applicable parties shall enter into a customary registration rights agreement providing for among other things a re-sale registration statement for any First Lien Noteholder that cannot freely transfer its equity pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and keeping any registration statements that do not automatically incorporate SEC filings by reference up to date. In order to meet the requirement that a REIT have at least 100 shareholders, the REIT will have the right to issue, for cash, up to $125,000 of non-voting preferred stock (125 shares, $1,000 liquidation preference and approximately 12% dividend).

Contribution by CEOC of Properties to PropCo		If the UPREIT Structure is used, at least 5% of the PropCo New LP Interests purchased by CEC under the Put Options (on a fully diluted basis) shall be deemed as CEOC’s on account of its contribution of real estate into PropCo. In such case, CEOC shall have the option to participate in future issuances, or purchase additional equity from PropCo at FMV if participation is not feasible, to maintain its percentage ownership interest in PropCo at 5% if it would otherwise decrease below that threshold.

Services JV

Each of the Company and CEC (including through Caesars Entertainment Resort Properties LLC and Caesars Growth Properties Holdings, LLC) shall agree to take those steps that may be necessary or advisable with respect to Caesars Enterprise Services, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “CES”) to ensure that the chapter 11 cases or a restructuring consummated thereby shall not impair, modify, or affect in any adverse way under the applicable agreements (i) the Company’s rights with respect to governance or administration of CES (including by amending Sections 5.5(b) with respect to any payment defaults arising from commencement of the chapter 11 cases, 5.6 and 7.12 of that certain Amended Limited Liability Company Agreement of Caesars Enterprise Services, LLC dated as of May 20, 2014 (as the same may have been amended from time to time), (ii) the Company’s rights with respect to that certain Omnibus License and Enterprise Services Agreement dated as of May 20, 2014 (as the same may have been amended from time to time) (including by amending Section 16.4 thereof), (iii) the Company’s rights with respect to any or all intellectual property or other business arrangements by and among the Company and CES, whether pursuant to section 365(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, any change of control provisions set forth in those agreements, or other terms of such agreements and (iv) PropCo’s and OpCo’s right to use and access intellectual property and other rights in the same manner that such rights are currently used and accessed across the enterprise to the extent currently provided under the Omnibus License and Enterprise Services Agreement.

In addition, such agreements shall be modified as necessary or appropriate to reflect the OpCo/PropCo structure including (i) to provide that Total Rewards and other enterprise-wide and property specific resources are allocated, and services provided, in a way that does not discriminate against PropCo, (ii) for so long as CEC or its affiliates manages the properties, CES shall ensure that, in the event CEC or its subsidiaries cease to provide the resources and services provided under such agreements to PropCo, CES shall provide such resources and services directly to PropCo on equivalent terms to or via an alternative arrangement reasonably acceptable to PropCo; provided that if CEC or its affiliates are terminated as manager under the applicable agreements other than by or with the consent of PropCo, CES shall provide such resources and services pursuant to a management agreement on substantially the same terms and conditions, notwithstanding such termination, if so elected by PropCo. In the event PropCo terminates or consents to the termination of the management relationship with CEC or its affiliates, for so long as the transition period under the applicable management agreement(s) continues, PropCo shall continue to have access to such resources and services on no less favorable terms. The modified documents shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Consenting Creditors.


		Furthermore, CES shall at the request of the REIT Board of Directors have meetings or conference calls once a quarter with a designee of the REIT Board of Directors to discuss, and consult on, the strategic and financial business plans, budgeting, including proposed capital expenditures and other topics as reasonably requested by the REIT Board of Directors. The REIT shall also have audit and information rights.

IV.

CEC

CEC Contribution

CEC will contribute $406 million plus the Additional Cash Consideration (if applicable) (together, the “CEC Cash Contribution”) to be used to pay the RSA Forbearance Fees (on the terms described below), for general corporate purposes and to fund sources and uses (and capital structure described herein) required on the Effective Date.

In connection with the RSA, CEC shall pay the following cash fees (the “RSA Forbearance Fees”) in United States dollars to the Forbearance Fee Parties (as defined in the RSA) in respect of such Forbearance Fee Parties forbearing from exercising their default-related rights and remedies solely to the extent required by, and as set forth in, the RSA in an amount equal to (a) 1.625% of the Forbearance Fee First Lien Bond Claims (as defined in the RSA) held by such Forbearance Fee Parties paid at the earlier of the date when (i) holders of 66.66% of the First Lien Note Obligations and the First Lien Bank Obligations (by voting class) sign the RSA (or in respect of the First Lien Bank Obligations a similar restructuring support and forbearance agreement agreeable to CEOC and CEC and consistent with terms of the RSA) and (ii) the Bankruptcy Court enters an order approving the Disclosure Statement and (b) 1.625% of the Forbearance Fee First Lien Bond Claims held by such Forbearance Fee Parties paid on the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, each Forbearance Fee Party shall be an express third party beneficiary with respect to this provision.

Except as provided below, if the Effective Date has not occurred on or prior to February 1, 2016, then CEC shall contribute for the benefit of the First Lien Noteholders an amount equal to $25 million per month beginning February 1, 2016 until the Effective Date of the Plan (such consideration, the “Additional Consideration” and together with the CEC Cash Contribution, the “CEC Consideration”) pro rating for any partial month.


		The Additional Consideration shall be payable on the Effective Date to the Company for the benefit of all First Lien Noteholders, provided however, that, notwithstanding Section 11 of the RSA, if the RSA is terminated in accordance with the terms of the RSA, other than a termination as a result of a breach by Consenting Creditors, an amount equal to the accrued Additional Consideration up to a maximum of $75 million shall be payable by CEC directly to the relevant indenture trustees for the benefit of all First Lien Noteholders. The Additional Consideration shall not accrue during any period in which the Consenting Creditors are not working in good faith towards completion of the definitive documentation in form and substance consistent with the RSA. For these purposes, the Consenting Creditors shall be deemed to be working in good faith towards completion of the definitive documentation at all times unless and until CEC provides the relevant Consenting Creditors with written notice to the contrary specifically setting forth the reasons therefor. In the event such notice is given, all parties’ rights with respect to whether such Consenting Creditors are working in good faith are fully reserved.

CEC Standby Commitment		$75 million, which shall only be funded if there are insufficient sources and uses (after giving effect to any Available Cash) to fund the capital structure described herein on the Effective Date. For the purpose of determining whether CEC is required to fund the CEC Standby Commitment, the amount of Available Cash shall be deemed to exclude an amount equal to $206 million less the amount of the RSA Forbearance Fees paid by CEC.

Bank Guaranty Settlement		Each First Lien Bank Lender that votes to accept the Plan shall also sell a 100% assignment of their rights, or to the extent not legally assignable a participation to the fullest extent possible, in its respective First Lien Bank Obligations that survive the Effective Date (the “*Purchased First Lien Bank Obligations”) to CEC in exchange for the Purchase Price (defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth herein (each electing First Lien Bank Lender, a “Settling First Lien Bank Lender”). The sale of the Purchased First Lien Bank Obligations to CEC hereunder shall close on the 10^th business day following the Effective Date. The sale of the Purchased First Lien Bank Obligations to CEC hereunder shall also include a consent to the termination and release of the Bank Guaranty Agreement (defined below) and the termination and release of all CEC’s obligations thereunder (the “Release and Termination*”). The consent of the Settling First Lien Bank Lenders to the Release and Termination shall become effective on the Effective Date. The Release and Termination shall be conditioned on First Lien Bank Lenders holding greater than one-half of the aggregate principal amount of First Lien Bank Obligations outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Effective Date become Settling First Lien Bank Lenders and shall become effective only upon the payment of the Purchase Price to each Settling First

Lien Bank Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the sale of the Purchased First Lien Bank Obligations shall close whether or not First Lien Bank Lenders holding greater than one-half of the aggregate principal amount of First Lien Bank Obligations become Settling First Lien Bank Lenders.

“Purchase Price” means, with respect to each Settling First Lien Bank Lender, an amount equal to the Accrued Amount in respect of the aggregate principal amount of Purchased First Lien Bank Obligations of such Settling First Lien Bank Lender for the Accrual Period; provided that each such Settling First Lien Bank Lender shall remain entitled to receive any distributions otherwise arising under the Plan on account of such Settling First Lien Bank Lender’s Purchased First Lien Bank Obligations.

The “Accrual Period” means the period from the Petition Date until (but not including) Effective Date.

The “Accrued Amount” with respect to each Settling First Lien Bank Lender means an aggregate amount equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of Purchased First Lien Bank Obligations held by such Settling First Lien Bank Lender multiplied by a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate for a period equal to the Accrual Period, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of Monthly Adequate Protection Payments (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) received by such Settling First Lien Bank Lender during the Accrual Period (so long as the Monthly Adequate Protection Payments are deemed to have been paid on account of interest (and not recharacterized as principal or otherwise disallowed)) on account of such Purchased First Lien Bank Obligations, minus (iii) the amount of Available Cash paid to such Settling First Lien Bank Lender on account of its Purchased Lien Bank Obligations upon the Effective Date (so long as such payment of Available Cash is deemed to have been paid on account of interest (and not recharacterized as principal or otherwise disallowed)).

The “Applicable Rate” means a per annum rate equal to (i) for the period from the Petition Date until October 1, 2015, 6.5% and (ii) for the period from October 1, 2015 until the end of the Accrual Period, 6.75% as of October 1, 2015 and increasing 0.25% every 90 days thereafter, up to a maximum of 8.1%.

“Bank Guaranty Agreement” means the Guaranty and Pledge Agreement dated as of July 25, 2014 between CEC and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Island Branch as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders under the Credit Agreement.


CEC Put Options Purchases		CEC or an affiliated entity shall, pursuant to the Put Options, purchase up to (a) $269 million of the PropCo Common Stock at a price implying a total value of $269 million for 14.8% of the PropCo Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (excluding dilution from Bank Mezzanine Transfer Amount and PropCo Preferred Equity, if applicable) and (b) $700 million of OpCo New Common Stock at a price per share implying a total value of $700 million for 100% of the OpCo New Common Stock.

Domestic Acquisitions and New Building Opportunities		CEC and its non-debtor subsidiaries shall give PropCo a right of first refusal to own the real estate, and have CEC or OpCo lease, all non-Las Vegas domestic (U.S.) real estate acquisitions and new building opportunities with CEC retaining management rights with respect to such opportunities. PropCo shall give CEC a right of first refusal to operate and manage all non-Las Vegas properties that PropCo acquires.

V.	Caesars Palace Las Vegas (“CPLV”)

Transfer to Unrestricted Subsidiary

CPLV shall be transferred to a newly formed wholly owned unrestricted subsidiary of PropCo (“CPLV Sub”) and its property shall be leased to OpCo. “CPLV Holding” will be one or more newly formed holding companies that directly owns 100% of CPLV Sub.

The material terms of the operating lease are set forth on Annex II.



Issuance of CPLV Market Debt		CPLV Sub and/or CPLV Holding, as applicable, shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to finance $2,600 million of CPLV Debt with third party investors for cash proceeds (the “*CPLV Market Debt*”) on or before consummation of the Restructuring (with 100% of the net proceeds being used to increase the cash payments to the First Lien Bank Lenders and the First Lien Noteholders). Subject to the below, at least $1,800 million of CPLV Market Debt must be issued. If $1,800 million or more but less than $2,600 million of CPLV Market Debt is issued, the remainder will be issued to the First Lien Bank Lenders and the First Lien Noteholders in the form of CPLV Mezzanine Debt (subject, in the event the amount of CPLV Market Debt is less than $2,000, to the right of the First Lien Noteholders to have their CPLV Mezz Upsized Amount issued in the form of Preferred Equity Upsize rather than CPLV Mezzanine Debt, as set forth below). The principal amount of CPLV Market Debt, CPLV Mezzanine Debt and, if applicable, the Preferred Equity Upsize shall collectively total $2,600 million. Notwithstanding the above, to the extent PropCo Preferred Equity is issued, the proceeds thereof (other than in respect of the Preferred Equity Upsize, if applicable) shall first reduce the principal amount of CPLV Mezzanine Debt (if any) to be issued to the First Lien Noteholders and second, reduce the principal amount of New Second Lien PropCo Debt to be issued to the First Lien Noteholders, and third reduce the principal amount of CPLV Market Debt. The weighted average yield on the CPLV Market Debt and CPLV Mezzanine Debt will be capped such that the annual debt service shall not exceed $130 million, with the cap increased by $2 million for every $100 million of Equity Rights Debt.

CPLV Mezzanine Debt		If CPLV Market Debt is issued in an amount greater than $1,800 million, but less than $2,600 million (less the proceeds from the PropCo Preferred Equity applied to reduce the amount of CPLV Mezzanine Debt (if any) to be issued to the First Lien Noteholders), then CPLV Mezz Holding shall issue secured non-guaranteed debt (the “*CPLV Mezzanine Debt”) in an amount equal to the difference to the First Lien Bank Lenders and the First Lien Noteholders. Material terms of the CPLV Market Debt and CPLV Mezzanine Date are annexed hereto as Annex V. “CPLV Mezz Holding*” will be a newly formed holding company that directly or indirectly owns 100% of CPLV Sub.

Receipt of CPLV Mezzanine Debt

If CPLV Mezzanine Debt is issued, then it shall be distributed as follows:

• The first $300 million of CPLV Mezzanine Debt (before giving effect to any Mezz Equitized Debt) shall be distributed 1/3 to the First Lien Bank Lenders and 2/3 to the First Lien Noteholders;

• Any CPLV Mezzanine Debt over $300 million and less than $600 million (before giving effect to any Mezz Equitized Debt) shall be distributed 1/2 to the First Lien Bank Lenders and 1/2 to the First Lien Noteholders; and

• Any CPLV Mezzanine Debt over $600 million (before giving effect to any Mezz Equitized Debt) shall be issued 41.7% to the First Lien Bank Lenders and 58.3% to the First Lien Noteholders; provided, that, in the event that less than $2,000 million of CPLV Market Debt is issued, then with respect to the amount of increased CPLV Mezzanine Debt that would otherwise be issued to the First Lien Noteholders as result of such reduction in the CPLV Market Debt below $2,000 million (such amount, the “CPLV Mezz Upsized Amount”), the First Lien Noteholders shall receive cash in an amount equal to the CPLV Mezz Upsized Amount which cash shall be funded by increasing the amount of PropCo Preferred Equity issued hereunder (such additional amount of PropCo Preferred Equity, the “Preferred Equity Upsize”).

The $2,600 million aggregate total amount of cash proceeds from the CPLV Market Debt and the principal amount of CPLV Mezzanine Debt (before giving effect to any Mezz Equitized Debt) will be allocated as follows:

• $1,450 for First Lien Bank Holders and

• $1,150 for First Lien Bondholders,

with the amount of CPLV Mezzanine Debt to be issued to each in accordance with the above.

Proceeds of the Preferred Equity Upsize will be distributed to First Lien Noteholders in lieu of any additional CPLV Mezzanine Debt that would otherwise be issued to the First Lien Noteholders in the event that less than $2,000 million of CPLV Market Debt is issued.

Lease & MLSA Term Sheet Summary

LEASE TERM SHEET

Note: It is currently anticipated that the real estate assets of the subsidiaries of a newly-formed Delaware limited partnership (“Propco”) will be leased to subsidiaries of Opco (defined below) pursuant to two separate leases. One lease (the “Non-CPLV Lease”)[¹] will include all “Facilities” (defined below) other than Caesars Palace Las Vegas (“CPLV”). The other lease (the “CPLV Lease”, and together with the Non-CPLV Lease, collectively, the “Leases”) will only include CPLV. To the extent that a term below does not differentiate between the Non-CPLV Lease and the CPLV Lease, such term shall be included in both Leases.


Landlord		With respect to the Non-CPLV Lease, all of the subsidiaries of Propco that own the fee or ground leasehold (as applicable) interests in the real property comprising the Non-CPLV Facilities (as defined below). With respect to the CPLV Lease, a subsidiary of Propco that owns the fee interest in the real property comprising the CPLV Facility.

Tenant		With respect to the Non-CPLV Lease, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company (“CEOC” or “Opco”) and the subsidiaries of CEOC necessary for the operation of all of the Non-CPLV Facilities, including all license holders with respect thereto, as reasonably demonstrated to Propco. With respect to the CPLV Lease, CEOC and the subsidiaries of CEOC necessary for the operation of the CPLV Facility, including all license holders with respect thereto, as reasonably demonstrated to Propco. For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant” shall be deemed to mean Tenant and all subsidiaries of Tenant.

MLSA/Guaranty		In addition, Caesars Entertainment Corporation (“CEC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEC (“Manager”), Opco and Propco will enter into a Management and Lease Support Agreement with respect to each of the Non-CPLV Lease and the CPLV Lease (each, an “MLSA/Guaranty”), pursuant to which (i) Manager will manage the Facilities (as defined below) on behalf of Opco and (ii) CEC will provide a full guarantee of all payments and performance of Opco’s monetary obligations under each of the CPLV Lease and the Non-CPLV Lease.[²] The terms of the MLSA/Guaranty are more particularly set forth in that certain Summary of Terms with respect to the MLSA/Guaranty.

¹	Non-CPLV Lease may be structured as two individual cross-defaulted leases, to accommodate the JV interest for the Joliet asset.

²	Management Agreement and Guaranty will be integrated as one document, subject to terms of MLSA/Guaranty term sheet.


Leased Property		With respect to the Non-CPLV Lease, all of the real property interest in the facilities (the “Non-CPLV Facilities”) described on Exhibit A attached hereto, including all buildings and structures located thereon, and all rights appurtenant thereto. The Non-CPLV Facilities will not include any non-U.S. real estate assets. With respect to the CPLV Lease, all of the real property interest in CPLV (the “CPLV Facility” or “CPLV Facilities”), as described on Exhibit B attached hereto, including all buildings and structures located thereon, and all rights appurtenant thereto. All U.S. real property owned by CEOC or its wholly-owned subsidiaries that is not identified on either (x) Exhibit A as part of the Non-CPLV Facilities, or (y) Exhibit B as part of the CPLV Facilities, to the extent that it is not sold or abandoned pursuant to the bankruptcy code, in each case with the approval of the bankruptcy court, will be transferred to the applicable Landlord and leased to the applicable Tenant under the Non-CPLV Lease (if such property is not related to the ownership or operation of CPLV) or under the CPLV Lease (if such property is related to the ownership or operation of CPLV), as applicable. For purposes hereof, the term “Facilities” and “Leased Property” shall each be deemed to mean the CPLV Facility and the Non-CPLV Facilities, collectively, or each individually, as the context may require.

Term		Each of the Leases shall have a 15 year initial term (the “Initial Term”). Each of the Leases shall have four 5-year renewal terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) to be exercised at Tenant’s option, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Landlord receives the Renewal Notice (as hereinafter defined) or on the last day of the then current Term, by notifying Landlord (each, a “Renewal Notice”) (i) no earlier than 18 months prior to the then-current expiration, and (ii) no later than 12 months prior to the then-current expiration. The Term with respect to any Leased Property shall not exceed 80% of the useful life of such Leased Property. Any Leased Property not meeting such requirement shall be subject to a shorter Term than the other Leased Property that satisfies such requirements.[³]

Rent		“Rent” means the sum of Base Rent and Percentage Rent. “Percentage Rent” means the Non-CPLV Initial Percentage Rent, the Non-CPLV Secondary Percentage Rent and the CPLV Initial Percentage Rent (each as defined below), each as adjusted as set forth below. Rent shall be paid monthly in advance. Rent not paid when due shall be subject to default interest and late charges such that if rent is not paid within five days of the due date, a late charge in the amount of 5% of the unpaid amount will be assessed and if any rent (including the late charge) is not paid within 10 days of due date, it will accrue interest based on the overdue rate (5% above prime). Rent under the Non-CPLV Lease and the CPLV Lease shall be as follows for the Initial Term and each Renewal Term:[⁴]

³	The parties understand that none of the Facilities will run afoul of the 80% test during the Initial Term. The parties intend for the useful life of each Facility to be determined at or prior to Lease inception; therefore, the provisions regarding determination by an expert have been deleted.

⁴	For tax purposes, portions of each Non-CPLV Facility (e.g., barges and boats) may be subject to a specific Rent allocation to be set forth in the definitive documents.

Non-CPLV Lease:

For the 8th through 10th Lease year, Percentage Rent, in each such Lease year, shall be equal to a fixed annual amount equal to $142,500,000, adjusted as follows: (i) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the Non-CPLV Facilities for the 7th Lease year has increased versus the Net Revenue for the 12 month period immediately preceding the 1st Lease year (such increase, the “Year 8 Non-CPLV Increase”), such $142,500,000 shall increase by the product of (a) the Non-CPLV Factor (as defined below) and (b) the Year 8 Non-CPLV Increase; and (ii) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the Non-CPLV Facilities for the 7th Lease year has decreased versus the Net Revenue for the 12 month period immediately preceding the 1st Lease year (such decrease, the “Year 8 Non-CPLV Decrease”), such $142,500,000 shall decrease by the product of (a) the Non-CPLV Factor and (b) the Year 8 Non-CPLV Decrease (such resulting amount being referred to herein as the “Non-CPLV Initial Percentage Rent”).

For the 11th Lease year through the 15th Lease year, Percentage Rent shall be equal to a fixed annual amount equal to 20% of the Rent for the 10th Lease year, adjusted as follows: (i) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the Non-CPLV Facilities for the 10th Lease year has increased versus the Net Revenue for the 8th Lease year (such increase, the “Year 11 Non-CPLV Increase”), Percentage Rent shall increase by the product of (a) the Non-CPLV Factor and (b) the Year 11 Non-CPLV Increase; and (ii) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the Non-CPLV Facilities for the 10th Lease year has decreased versus the Net Revenue for the 8th Lease year (such decrease, the “Year 11 Non-CPLV Decrease”), Percentage Rent shall decrease by the product of (a) the Non-CPLV Factor and (b) the Year 11 Non-CPLV Decrease (such resulting amount being referred to herein as “Non-CPLV Secondary Percentage Rent”).

At the commencement of each Renewal Term, (i) the Base Rent under the Lease for the first year of such Renewal Term shall be adjusted to fair market value rent (provided that (A) in no event will the Base Rent during the Renewal Term be less than the Base Rent then payable during the year immediately preceding the commencement of the Renewal Term, and (B) no such adjustment shall cause Base Rent to be increased by more than 10% of the prior year’s Base Rent), subject thereafter to the annual Escalator, and (ii) the Percentage Rent for such Renewal Term will be equal to the Percentage Rent in effect for the Lease year immediately preceding the first year of such Renewal Term, adjusted as follows: (1) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the Non-CPLV Facilities for the Lease year immediately preceding the applicable Renewal Term has increased versus the Net Revenue for (x) in respect of the first Renewal Term, the 10th Lease year and (y) for each subsequent Renewal Term, the Lease year prior to the first Lease year of the immediately preceding Renewal Term (such increase, the “Renewal Term Non-CPLV Increase”), Percentage Rent shall increase by the product of (a) the Non-CPLV Factor and (b) the Renewal Term Non-CPLV Increase; and (ii) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the Non-CPLV Facilities for the Lease year immediately preceding the applicable Renewal Term has decreased versus the Net Revenue for (x) in respect of the first Renewal Term, the 10th Lease year and (y) in respect of each subsequent Renewal Term, the Lease year prior to the first Lease year of the immediately preceding Renewal Term (such decrease, the “Renewal Term Non-CPLV Decrease”), Percentage Rent shall decrease by the product of (a) the Non-CPLV Factor and (b) the Renewal Term Non-CPLV Decrease. The Lease shall contain a customary mechanism by which Landlord and Tenant shall determine the fair market value adjustment to Base Rent at least 12 months prior to the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term.

The “Non-CPLV Factor” shall be equal to: (i) for the 8th Lease year through the 10th Lease year, 19.5%; and (ii) from and after the 11th Lease year, 13%.

In no event shall Percentage Rent under the Non-CPLV Lease be less than $0.00.

From and after the commencement of the 8th Lease year, Base Rent for the Lease will be subject to an annual escalator (the “Escalator”) equal to the higher of 2% and the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) increase with respect to such year, above the previous lease year’s Base Rent (provided, for purposes of applying the Escalator so as to calculate the Base Rent payable during the 8^th Lease Year, the Base Rent during the 7^th Lease Year shall be deemed to be $332,500,000, to which sum the Escalator shall be applied in order to derive the Base Rent payable during the 8^th Lease Year).

CPLV Lease:

(a) For the first 7 Lease years, Rent of $165,000,000 per Lease year, subject to the annual Escalator.

(b) From and after the commencement of the 8th Lease year, (i) Base Rent equal to 80% of the Rent for the 7th Lease year, subject to the annual Escalator, plus (ii) Percentage Rent equal to the CPLV Initial Percentage Rent (as hereinafter defined), as adjusted in the 11th Lease year as described below.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall annual Base Rent for the CPLV Lease be less than 80% of the Rent for the 7th Lease year.

For the 8th Lease year through the 10th Lease year, Percentage Rent shall be equal to a fixed annual amount equal to 20% of the Rent for the 7th Lease year, adjusted as follows: (i) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the CPLV Facility for the 7th Lease year has increased versus the Net Revenue for the 12 month period immediately preceding the 1st Lease year (such increase, the “Year 8 CPLV Increase”), Percentage Rent shall increase by the product of (a) 13% (the “CPLV Factor”) and (b) the Year 8 CPLV Increase; and (ii) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the CPLV Facility for the 7th Lease year has decreased versus the Net Revenue for the 12 month period immediately preceding the 1st Lease year (such decrease, the “Year 8 CPLV Decrease”), Percentage Rent shall decrease by the product of (a) the CPLV Factor and (b) the Year 8 CPLV Decrease (such resulting amount being referred to herein as “CPLV Initial Percentage Rent”).

From and after the commencement of the 11th Lease year, Percentage Rent shall be equal to a fixed annual amount equal to the CPLV Initial Percentage Rent, adjusted as follows: (i) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the CPLV Facility for the 10th Lease year has increased versus the Net Revenue for the 7th Lease year (such increase, the “Year 11 CPLV Increase”), Percentage Rent shall increase by the product of (a) the CPLV Factor and (b) the Year 11 CPLV Increase and (ii) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the CPLV Facility for the 10th Lease year has decreased versus the Net Revenue for the 7th Lease year (such decrease, the “Year 11 CPLV Decrease”), Percentage Rent shall decrease by the product of (a) the CPLV Factor and (b) the Year 11 CPLV Decrease.

At the commencement of each Renewal Term, (i) the Base Rent under the CPLV Lease for the first year of such Renewal Term shall be adjusted to fair market value rent (provided that (A) in no event will the Base Rent during the Renewal Term be less than the Base Rent then payable during the year immediately preceding the commencement of the Renewal Term, and (B) no such adjustment shall cause Base Rent to be increased by more than 10% of the prior year’s Base Rent), subject thereafter to the annual Escalator, and (ii) the Percentage Rent for such Renewal Term will be equal to the Percentage Rent in effect for the Lease year immediately preceding the first year of such Renewal Term, adjusted as follows: (1) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the CPLV Facility for the Lease year immediately preceding the applicable Renewal Term has increased versus the Net Revenue for (x) in respect of the first Renewal Term, the 10th Lease year and (y) for each subsequent Renewal Term, the Lease year prior to the first Lease year of the immediately preceding Renewal Term (such increase, the “Renewal Term CPLV Increase”), Percentage Rent shall increase by the product of (a) the CPLV Factor and (b) the Renewal Term CPLV Increase; and (ii) in the event that the Net Revenue with respect to the CPLV Facility for the Lease year immediately preceding the applicable Renewal Term has decreased versus

the Net Revenue for (x) in respect of the first Renewal Term, the 10th Lease year and (y) in respect of each subsequent Renewal Term, the Lease year prior to the first Lease year of the immediately preceding Renewal Term (such decrease, the “Renewal Term CPLV Decrease”), Percentage Rent shall decrease by the product of (a) the CPLV Factor and (b) the Renewal Term CPLV Decrease. The CPLV Lease shall contain a customary mechanism by which Landlord and Tenant shall determine the fair market value adjustment to Base Rent at least 12 months prior to the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term. The fair market valuation shall be as of the date of commencement of the applicable Renewal Term.

In no event shall Percentage Rent under the CPLV Lease be less than $0.00.

“Net Revenue” means: the sum of, without duplication, (i) the amount received by Tenant from patrons at the CPLV Facility or any Non-CPLV Facility for gaming, less refunds and free promotional play provided pursuant to a rewards, marketing and/or frequent users program (including rewards granted by affiliates of Tenant), and less amounts returned to patrons through winnings at the CPLV Facility or any Non-CPLV Facility (the amounts described in this clause (i), “Gaming Revenue”); and (ii) the gross receipts of Tenant for all goods and merchandise sold, the charges for all services performed, or any other revenues generated or otherwise payable to Tenant (including, without limitation, use fees, retail and commercial rent, revenue from rooms, accommodations, food and beverage, and the proceeds of business interruption insurance) in, at, or from the Leased Property for cash, credit, or otherwise (without reserve or deduction for uncollected amounts), but excluding pass-through revenues collected by Tenant to the extent such amounts are remitted to the applicable third party entitled thereto (the amounts described in this clause (ii), “Retail Sales”); less (iii) the retail value of accommodations, merchandise, food and beverage, and other services furnished to guests of Tenant without charge or at a reduced charge (and, with respect to a reduced charge, such reduction in Net Revenue shall be in proportion to the reduced charge) (the amounts described in this clause (iii), “Promotional Allowances”). For purposes of clarification, (i) subject to clause 3(y) of the section of this Lease Term Sheet titled “Assignment by Tenant”, with respect to any sublease from Tenant to a party that is not a subsidiary of Tenant, Net Revenue shall not include Gaming Revenues, Retail Sales or Promotional Allowances received by such subtenant but shall include the rent received by Tenant under such sublease, and (ii) if Gaming Revenue, Retail Sales or Promotional Allowances of a subsidiary of Tenant are taken into account for purposes of calculating Net Revenue, any rent received by Tenant from such subsidiary shall not also be taken into account in determining Net Revenue. For the avoidance of doubt, gaming taxes and casino operating expenses (such as salaries, income taxes, employment taxes, supplies, equipment, cost of goods and inventory, rent, office overhead, marketing and advertising and other general administrative costs) will not be deducted in arriving at Net Revenue. Net Revenue will be calculated on an accrual basis for these purposes, as required under GAAP. Net Revenue shall be determined separately for each Lease, with respect to the applicable Facilities subject to each such Lease.


Rent Allocation		Rent will be allocated under section 467 of the Code and regulations thereunder on a declining basis within the 115/85 safe harbor, adjusted as necessary such that the REIT’s pro rata share of Landlord’s anticipated free cash flow from operations, after payment by Landlord (and its subsidiaries) of all required debt service and operating expenses, is no less than 100% of the REIT’s anticipated taxable income assuming annual CapEx Reimbursements of $78.0 million.

Triple Net Lease		Subject to the provision below regarding Landlord’s reimbursement to Tenant of Capital Expenditures (the “CapEx Reimbursement”), the Leases will be absolute, traditional triple net leases. Tenant shall pay all Rent absolutely net to Landlord, without abatement, and unaffected by any circumstance (except as expressly provided below in the cases of casualty and condemnation and the CapEx Reimbursement). Subject to the CapEx Reimbursement, Tenant will assume complete responsibility for the condition, operation, repair, alteration and improvement of the Facilities, for compliance with all legal requirements (whether now or hereafter in effect), including, without limitation, all environmental requirements (whether arising before or after the effective date of the Leases), and for payment of all costs and liabilities of any nature associated with the Facilities, including, without limitation, all impositions, taxes, insurance and utilities, and all costs and expenses relating to the use, operation, maintenance, repair, alteration and management thereof. Opco and Tenant will, jointly and severally, provide a customary environmental indemnity to Landlord.

Expenses, Maintenance, Repairs and Maintenance Capital Expenditures, Minor Alterations		Tenant shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of the Leased Properties (including Capital Expenditures with respect thereto, but subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of the immediately following eight paragraphs). For purposes hereof, the term “Capital Expenditures” shall mean all expenditures of Tenant relating to physical improvements at the Facilities capitalized in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with Tenant’s audited financial statements. Under the Leases, Landlord shall reimburse to Tenant an annual amount in respect of Capital Expenditures incurred by Tenant with respect to the Leased Properties under the Non-CPLV Lease and CPLV Lease in the amount equal to the lesser of (1) $78.0 million per Lease year in the aggregate (decreasing proportionately upon any Facility ceasing to be Leased Properties pursuant to the terms of the Non-CPLV Lease or CPLV Lease in proportion with the Rent Reduction Adjustment (as defined below in the section titled “Casualty”)), and (2) 42.5% of all Capital Expenditures (other than any Capital Expenditures that are otherwise excluded from the Minimum CapEx Amount) (such lesser amount, the “CapEx Reimbursement Amount”). The CapEx Reimbursement Amount shall be applied 75% to the Non-CPLV Lease and 25% to the CPLV Lease, subject to adjustment as agreed upon by Propco to the extent required by (or to improve the terms of) any CPLV financing. The portion of the CapEx Reimbursement Amount applied to the Non-CPLV Lease shall be allocated among the Tenants under the Non-CPLV Lease as determined by Tenant. Such CapEx Reimbursement Amount shall be decreased (but not below $0.00) each Lease year, for such Lease year only, by an amount equal to 50% of excess cash flow (to be defined in a manner consistent with Tenant’s financing documentation) in excess of $10 million generated by Tenant from the Facilities during the prior year. Such decrease will be structured in a manner to comply with REIT requirements. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate in good faith to ensure that the portion of any improvements to which Landlord’s CapEx Reimbursement Amount relates will be treated as Landlord’s capital expenditures for Landlord’s financial reporting purposes.

Within 30 days after the end of each month, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a report setting forth all revenues and Capital Expenditures for the preceding month for the Non-CPLV Facilities (in the aggregate), on the one hand, and the CPLV Facility, on the other hand, and include Tenant’s request identifying the portion of the CapEx Reimbursement Amount it is requesting to be paid. Within 15 days after Landlord’s receipt of such report, Landlord shall pay Tenant an amount equal to the lesser of (i) an estimated one-twelfth portion of the applicable CapEx Reimbursement Amount payable (as reasonably estimated in accordance with the applicable budget preparation process) in respect of each Lease year, or (ii) the actual amount of Capital Expenditures incurred by Tenant during such month, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the estimated CapEx Reimbursement Amount for that year, and the denominator of which is the Minimum CapEx Amount. Payment of the CapEx Reimbursement Amount shall be reconciled on a quarterly and year-end cumulative basis such that, (a) within the later of (x) 15 days after Tenant’s delivery of the required quarterly reporting or (y) 45 days after the end of each quarter and (b) within 30 days after the delivery of audited year-end financial statements (as applicable), quarterly and at year end Landlord will have paid to Tenant an amount equal to the ratio of the CapEx Reimbursement Amount to the Minimum CapEx Amount (in each case, as the same may be adjusted as provided herein), multiplied by the actual amount of Capital Expenditures paid by Tenant for such period, provided, in no event will Landlord pay to Tenant more than its applicable CapEx Reimbursement Amount for such year. In the event that Landlord does not reimburse Tenant for such costs within the time periods set forth above and after Tenant’s 15-day (or 30-day, as applicable) written request therefor, Tenant shall have the right to deduct such sums from subsequent installments of Rent payable under the Non-CPLV Lease or CPLV Lease, as applicable. In the event that Tenant fails to pay Rent as and when due under the Non-CPLV Lease or CPLV Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord shall have the right to deduct such unpaid Rent amounts from subsequent installments of the CapEx Reimbursement Amount payable under the Non-CPLV Lease or CPLV Lease, as applicable.

In each calendar year during the Term, Tenant must expend sums for Capital Expenditures (other than with respect to the limitations set forth in the final paragraph of this section) in an annual amount at least equal to $165,000,000 (such amount being a gross amount toward which the CapEx Reimbursement Amount may be applied), which annual amount shall be increased or decreased with the inclusion or removal of Leased Properties from the Leases, in proportion with the EBITDAR (as defined below) of any new or sold Leased Property versus the EBITDAR of all the Leased Properties (such amount, as adjusted, the “Minimum CapEx Amount”), which EBITDAR calculation shall be determined based on the prior 12 month period. The Minimum CapEx Amount requirement shall be allocated as follows (subject to adjustment as agreed upon by Landlord to the extent required by (or to

improve the terms of) any CPLV financing): (i) $28,000,000 to the CPLV Lease; (ii) $85,000,000 to the Non-CPLV Lease; and (iii) the balance to the CPLV Lease and/or the Non-CPLV Lease in such proportion as Tenant may elect. Either Tenant’s failure to expend its share of the Minimum CapEx Amount shall be deemed a default under the applicable Lease, and if such Tenant fails to expend its share of the Minimum CapEx Amount for 60 days after written notice to such Tenant, such failure shall be deemed an Event of Default under the applicable Lease. In addition, if such Tenant does not spend the full amount of its share of the Minimum CapEx Amount as required under the applicable Lease, Landlord shall have the right to seek the remedy of specific performance to require such Tenant to spend any such unspent amount. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenants’ obligations to spend the Minimum CapEx Amount shall constitute monetary obligations included in the Lease guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Leases.

The sum of the Capex expenditures made by Tenant shall be determined in accordance with GAAP.

“EBITDAR” means, for any applicable period, the net income or loss of a Person, determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted by excluding (1) income tax expense, (2) consolidated interest expense (net of interest income), (3) depreciation and amortization expense, (4) any income, gains or losses attributable to the early extinguishment or conversion of indebtedness or cancellation of indebtedness, (5) gains or losses on discontinued operations and asset sales, disposals or abandonments, (6) impairment charges or asset write-offs, including, without limitation, those related to goodwill or intangible assets, long-lived assets, and investments in debt and equity securities, in each case, in accordance with GAAP, (7) any non-cash items of expense (other than to the extent such non-cash items of expense require or result in an accrual or reserve for future cash expenses), (8) extraordinary gains or losses (9) unusual or non-recurring gains or items of income or loss and (10) rent expense with respect to the applicable Leased Property. In connection with any EBITDAR calculation made pursuant to the Leases, (i) Tenant shall provide Landlord all supporting documentation and backup information with respect thereto as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, and (ii) such calculation shall be as reasonably agreed between Landlord and Tenant.

Propco shall have the right to designate an observer on the Opco Board in accordance with the Summary Term Sheet for Proposed Restructuring, which observer shall have the opportunity to participate in all discussions and meetings of the Board and applicable committee regarding Capital Expenditures, budgeting, planning and construction of capital improvements for the (existing and new) Facilities and to receive all materials given to committee members in connection with such matters.

Tenant shall be permitted to make any alterations and improvements (including Material Alterations (defined below)) to the Facilities in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that (i) all alterations must be of equal or better quality than the applicable existing Facility, as applicable, (ii) any such alterations do not have an adverse effect on the structural integrity


		of any portion of the Leased Properties, and (iii) any such alterations would not otherwise result in a diminution of value to any Leased Properties. If any alteration does not meet the standards of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, then such alteration shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. “Material Alteration” shall mean Tenant elects to (i) materially alter a Facility, (ii) expand a Facility, or (iii) develop the undeveloped land leased pursuant to the Lease, and, in each case, the cost of such activity exceeds $50,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, Capital Expenditures in respect of after-acquired property that is not part of the Leased Property will not be credited toward the Minimum CapEx Amount. In addition, 50% of all Capital Expenditures constituting Material Alterations will be credited toward the Minimum CapEx Amount, and the other 50% of such Capital Expenditures constituting Material Alterations will not be credited toward the Minimum CapEx Amount.

Material Alterations; Growth Capex; Development of Undeveloped Land		In the event Tenant is going to perform any Material Alteration, Tenant shall notify Landlord of such Material Alteration. Within 30 days of receipt of a notification of a Material Alteration, Landlord shall notify Tenant as to whether Landlord will provide financing for such proposed Material Alteration and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which it would do so. Tenant shall have 10 days to accept or reject Landlord’s financing proposal. If Landlord declines to finance a proposed Material Alteration, Tenant shall be permitted to secure outside financing or utilize then existing available financing for a 9-month period, after which 9-month period, if Tenant has not secured outside or then-existing available financing, Tenant shall again be required to first seek financing from Landlord. If Landlord agrees to finance the Material Alteration and Tenant rejects the terms thereof, Tenant shall be permitted to either use then existing available financing or seek outside financing for a 9-month period for such Material Alteration, in each case on terms that are economically more advantageous to Tenant than offered under Landlord’s financing proposal, and if Tenant elects to utilize economically more advantageous financing it shall provide Landlord with reasonable evidence of the terms of such financing. Prior to any advance of funds (if applicable), Tenant and Landlord shall enter into the agreements necessary to effectuate the applicable terms of Landlord financing (including, without limitation, an amendment to each of the applicable Leases if financing is structured as a Rent increase). If Tenant constructs a Material Alteration with its then existing available financing or outside financing, (i) during the Term, such Material Alteration shall be deemed part of the Leased Property solely for the purpose of calculating Percentage Rent and shall for all other purposes be Tenant’s property and (ii) following expiration or termination of the Term, such Material Alteration shall be Tenant’s property but Landlord shall have the option to purchase such property for fair market value. If Landlord does not elect to purchase such Material Alteration, Tenant shall, at its option, either remove the Material Alteration from the Leased Property and restore the Leased Property to the condition existing prior to such Material Alteration


		being constructed, at Tenant’s own cost and expense and prior to expiration or earlier termination of the Term, or leave the Material Alteration at the Leased Property at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, at no cost to Landlord. If Landlord elects to purchase the Material Alteration, any amount due to Tenant for the purchase shall be credited against any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord under the applicable Lease (including damages, if any, in connection with the termination of such Lease). If Landlord agrees to finance a proposed Material Alteration and Tenant accepts the terms thereof, such Material Alteration shall be deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes.

Right of First Refusal		Tenant’s Right of First Refusal: Prior to consummating a transaction whereby Landlord or any of its affiliates (provided, however, that this provision will not apply if the MLSA/Guaranty has been terminated by Landlord or CEC (or an affiliate thereof) is otherwise no longer responsible for management of the Facilities with the written consent of Landlord ) will own, operate or develop a domestic (U.S.) gaming facility outside of Las Vegas, Nevada (either existing prior to such date or to be developed) that is not then subject to a pre-existing lease or management agreement in favor a third-party operator that was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition or development, Landlord shall notify Tenant and CEC of the subject opportunity. CEC (or its designee) shall have the right to lease (and Manager manage) such facility, and if such right is exercised Landlord and CEC (or its designee) will structure such transaction in a manner that allows the subject property to be owned by Landlord and leased to CEC (or its designee). In such event, CEC (or its designee) shall enter into a lease with respect to the additional property whereby (i) rent thereunder shall be established based on formulas consistent with the EBITDAR coverage ratio (determined based on the prior 12 month period) with respect to the Lease then in effect (the “Allocated Rent Amount”) and (ii) such other terms that CEC (or its designee) and Landlord agree upon shall be incorporated. In the event that the foregoing right is not exercised by CEC (or its designee), Landlord (or an affiliate thereof) shall have the right to consummate the subject transaction without Tenant’s and/or CEC’s involvement, provided the same is on terms no more favorable to the counterparty than those presented to Tenant for consummating such transaction. The mechanics and timing of applicable notices in respect of, and the exercise of, Tenant’s ROFR will be more particularly set forth in the Lease. Landlord’s Right of First Refusal: Prior to consummating a transaction whereby Tenant or any of its affiliates (including CEC or any of its affiliates) (provided, however, that this provision will not apply if the MLSA/Guaranty has been terminated by Propco or, with Propco’s consent, CEC (or an affiliate thereof) is otherwise no longer managing the Facilities) will own, operate or develop a domestic (U.S.) gaming facility outside of Las Vegas, Nevada (either existing prior to


		such date or to be developed) that is not subject to a lease or management agreement in favor a third-party operator that was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition or development, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the subject opportunity. Landlord shall have the right to own such facility and lease it to Tenant, and if Landlord exercises such right then Tenant and Landlord will structure such transaction in a manner that allows the subject property to be owned by Landlord and leased to Tenant (and be managed by Manager). In such event, Tenant and Landlord shall amend the Lease by (i) adding the additional property as Leased Property, (ii) increasing Rent by the Allocated Rent Amount with respect to such property and (iii) incorporating such other terms that Tenant and Landlord have agreed to. In the event that Landlord declines its right to own the facility, Tenant (or an affiliate thereof) shall have the right to consummate the subject transaction without Landlord’s involvement, provided the same is on terms no more favorable to the counterparty than those presented to Landlord for consummating such transaction. Further, in the event Landlord declines its right to own such facility, the Lease shall provide for similar terms as those provided in the Penn Gaming lease with respect to any such facilities which are located outside of Las Vegas, Nevada and within the restricted area (as defined in the Penn Gaming lease but reduced to 30 miles) of any existing Non-CPLV Facilities. The mechanics and timing of applicable notices in respect of, and the exercise of, Landlord’s ROFR will be more particularly set forth in the Lease.

Permitted Use		Tenant shall use the Leased Property for hotel, gaming, entertainment, conference, retail and other uses consistent with its current use, or with prevailing industry use.

Landlord Sale of Properties		Landlord may sell, without Tenant consent in each instance, any or all of the Facilities, upon the following terms: (i) the purchaser shall enter into a severance lease with Tenant for the sold Facility(ies) on substantially the same terms as contained in the applicable Lease, with an appropriate rent adjustment; (ii) the applicable Lease shall be modified as necessary to reflect the removal of the applicable Facility(ies), including, without limitation, an adjustment to the Rent thereunder so as to preserve the same economics following the entry into such severance lease; and (iii) CEC and Manager shall enter into a new MLSA/Guaranty with respect to the severance lease on terms substantially similar to CEC’s obligations with respect to the MLSA/Guaranty with respect to the Leases. The Leases shall not be cross-defaulted with any such severance lease. Each Lease shall survive any such assignment or transfer by Landlord and the successor Landlord shall become a party thereto. If the partnership (as opposed to the spin-off) structure is used, Landlord’s right to sell the Facilities as described above shall be subject to compliance with a customary Tax Protection Agreement protecting CEOC from adverse tax consequences resulting from asset sales or repayment of debt below certain thresholds.

Assignment by Tenant

Tenant will not have the right to assign portions of the Leases, however, the following direct or indirect assignments will be permitted, as well as others of a similar nature:

1) An assignment of the entire (i.e., including all Facilities thereunder) Non-CPLV Lease and/or CPLV Lease, as the case may be, to a permitted lender (described in further detail below) for collateral purposes, any assignment to such permitted lender or any other purchaser upon a foreclosure or transaction in lieu of foreclosure, and any assignment to any subsequent purchaser thereafter each shall be permitted; provided, however, that in all such transfers, CEC is not released from any of its obligations under the applicable MLSA/Guaranty, and the foreclosing lender or any purchaser or successor purchaser must keep the MLSA/Guaranty in place unless Landlord has consented (in its sole discretion) to the termination of the MLSA/Guaranty, as more particularly provided in the MLSA/Guaranty term sheet, and if Landlord has so consented to an MLSA/Guaranty termination, the foreclosing lender or any purchaser or successor purchaser shall engage an “acceptable operator” (satisfying parameters to be set forth in each of the Leases with respect to, among other things, gaming and other appropriate operational experience and qualification) to operate the Non-CPLV Facilities and/or the CPLV Facility (as applicable).

2) An assignment to an affiliate of Tenant, to CEC or an affiliate of CEC.

3) Any sublease of any portion of the premises, pursuant to a bona-fide third party transaction, so long as (i) Tenant is not released from any of its obligations under the applicable Lease, and (ii) such transaction will not result in a violation of any licensing requirements (e.g., gaming, liquor, etc.), and (x) provided all covenants with respect to CEC management continue to be satisfied, and (y) subject to restrictions against transactions designed to avoid payment of Percentage Rent or otherwise to negate requirements or provisions in the CPLV Lease or the Non-CPLV Lease; provided, however, the following shall be permitted: (A) any subleases existing as of the effective date of the Non-CPLV Lease or CPLV Lease, as applicable, consistent with currently existing arrangements and (B) any affiliate subleases necessary or appropriate for the operation of the Facilities in connection with licensing requirements (e.g., gaming, liquor, etc.).

Additionally, the following transfers of direct and indirect interests in Tenant will be permitted:

1) Transfers of stock in Tenant or its parent(s) on a nationally-recognized exchange; provided, however, in order to be a permitted transfer, in the event of a change of control of CEC, the quality of management must be generally consistent or superior to that which existed immediately prior to the transfer.

2) Reconfiguration of the Board of Directors of Tenant’s parent(s) that does not result from a change of control.


		3) Transfers of interests in Tenant that do not cause a change in control of Tenant. In all events, except as expressly provided in the MLSA/Guaranty term sheet, neither Tenant nor CEC under the MLSA/Guaranty will be released in connection with any such transfer, assignment, sublet or other disposition, whether permitted or restricted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, there shall be no restrictions on direct or indirect transfers in CEC; provided, however, in order to be a permitted transfer, in the event of a change of control of CEC, the quality of management must be generally consistent or superior to that which existed immediately prior to the transfer. For purposes hereof, the term “change of control” shall be defined in a manner consistent with Opco debt financing documents.

Landlord Financing		Landlord may finance or refinance its interest in any of the Non-CPLV Facilities and CPLV Facility, as applicable (“Landlord Financing”), in its discretion. Tenant will reasonably cooperate in all Landlord Financings. Tenant will operate (or cause to be operated) the Facilities in compliance with the customary terms of the Landlord Financing documents (including, without limitation, all covenants pertaining to the maintenance of the Facilities, as applicable, funding and maintaining lender required reserves, complying with all cash management requirements of the lender, procuring insurance and providing reporting), pertaining to the Facilities, as applicable, as existing as of the effective date of the Leases and any new or additional terms of any new or modified Landlord Financing made following the effective date of the Leases, in each case provided that such terms are customary and do not (x) materially increase Tenant’s obligations under the Leases, or (y) materially diminish Tenant’s rights under the Leases (it being acknowledged that any requirement to make Rent payments into “lockboxes” and/or Tenant’s obligation to fund and maintain customary and reasonable reserves as required by Landlord’s lender does not materially increase Tenant’s obligations or materially diminish Tenant’s rights under the Leases). The Leases shall be subordinate to all Landlord Financing, provided Landlord shall obtain commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreements from its lenders.

Tenant Financing		Tenant shall be permitted to obtain the financing contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement, and any refinancing/replacements thereof, subject to parameters on any financing/refinancing (such as lender qualifications for entitlement to leasehold mortgagee protections) to be set forth in the Leases. The lender (with appropriate qualifications) under such Tenant financing (i) shall be given notice of a default under either of the Leases, (ii) shall be afforded a right to cure any applicable Tenant default, (iii) shall, upon an early termination or rejection of either of the Leases, be given the opportunity to enter into a replacement lease (on terms consistent with the applicable lease) and (iv) shall be afforded other customary leasehold mortgagee protections.


		Such mortgagee protections shall provide that the Leases shall survive any debt default by Tenant under such financing and any foreclosure by such lender on Tenant’s leasehold interest (provided all curable defaults have been, or upon foreclosure will be, cured), and neither Landlord nor Tenant nor its lenders or assignees shall have termination rights under the Leases in respect thereof (absent an Event of Default under the applicable Lease). Upon foreclosure, the foreclosing lender must keep the MLSA/Guaranty in place unless Landlord has consented (in its sole discretion) to the termination of the MLSA/Guaranty, as more particularly provided in the MLSA/Guaranty term sheet, and if Landlord has so consented to an MLSA/Guaranty termination, the foreclosing lender shall engage an “acceptable operator” (satisfying parameters to be set forth in the Leases with respect to, among other things, gaming and other appropriate operational experience and qualification) to operate the CPLV Facility and/or the Non-CPLV Facilities (as the case may be).

Financial Statements of Tenant		Tenant shall provide to Landlord quarterly and audited annual financial statements (prepared in accordance with applicable securities law requirements, including as to format and timing, and shall consent to the inclusion of such financial statements in all public or private disclosure and offering documents of Propco and the REIT required by applicable law) (such financial statements, the “Tenant Financial Statements”), which financials shall separate out CPLV and Non-CPLV performance. In addition, the Tenant under the CPLV Lease shall provide to Landlord such additional customary and reasonable financial information related to CPLV as may be required for the Landlord Financing pertaining to CPLV. In addition, Tenant shall provide revenue and Capital Expenditure reports to Landlord to the extent set forth in the section above titled “Expenses, Maintenance, Repairs and Maintenance Capital Expenditures, Minor Alterations”.

Casualty		In the event of any casualty with respect to any portion of a Facility, Tenant shall be obligated to rebuild/restore such Facility to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the occurrence of such casualty and shall have no right to terminate the CPLV Lease or the Non-CPLV Lease (as applicable), except that, (i) for the CPLV Lease, during the final two years of the Term, in connection with a casualty which costs in excess of 25% of total property fair market value as determined by mutually acceptable architect or contractor, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate the CPLV Lease, except in the event that a renewal option is or shall be available to Tenant under the CPLV Lease, and Tenant has or shall elect to exercise the same, in which case neither Landlord nor Tenant may terminate the CPLV Lease under this clause (i), (ii) for the Non-CPLV Lease, during final two years of the Term, in connection with a casualty for any individual Facility which costs in excess of 25% of total fair market value for such individual Facility as determined by mutually acceptable architect or contractor, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate the Non-CPLV Lease as to such individual Facility (in which event the Rent obligations under the Non-CPLV Lease in respect of the remaining Facilities shall be proportionately adjusted, based on the Rent Reduction Adjustment), except in the event that a renewal option is or shall be available to Tenant under the Non-CPLV Lease, and Tenant has or shall


		elect to exercise the same, in which case neither Landlord nor Tenant may terminate the Non-CPLV Lease under this clause (ii), and (iii) Tenant shall not have an obligation to rebuild/restore solely to the extent the casualty was uninsured under the insurance policies Tenant is required to keep in place under the Lease or CPLV lease, as applicable. The “Rent Reduction Adjustment” with respect to a Non-CPLV Facility shall mean (i) with respect to the Base Rent, a proportionate reduction of the Base Rent based on the EBITDAR of such Facility versus the EBITDAR of all the Non-CPLV Facilities, which EBITDAR calculation shall be determined based on the prior 12 month period and (ii) with respect to Percentage Rent, a reduction of the then current dollar amount based on excluding the Net Revenue of the applicable Facility from the Percentage Rent formula on a pro forma basis.

Condemnation		If all of the CPLV Facility is permanently taken, or if a substantial portion of the CPLV Facility is taken such that the CPLV Facility is rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use (as hereinafter defined), then the CPLV Lease will terminate. If all of any individual Non-CPLV Facility under the Non-CPLV Lease is permanently taken, or if a substantial portion of such Non-CPLV Facility is taken such that the same is rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, then the Non-CPLV Lease will terminate as to such individual Non-CPLV Facility, and the Rent shall be reduced by the Rent Reduction Amount with respect to the applicable Non-CPLV Facility. In any such case (when the applicable Lease is terminated in whole or in part), the applicable award will be distributed, first to Landlord in payment of the fair market value of Landlord’s interest in the applicable Leased Property, then to Tenant in payment of the fair market value of the Tenant’s property which was so taken, and the balance of the award if any, to Landlord. In the case of a partial or non-permanent condemnation in which the applicable Leased Property is not rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, the applicable Lease will continue unabated except that Rent shall be adjusted in proportion to the portion of the Leased Property that was taken (based on a mechanic to be set forth in the Leases, and, with respect to the Non-CPLV Facilities only, the Rent Reduction Adjustment). For purposes hereof, “Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use” shall mean a state or condition of the CPLV Facility or any Non-CPLV Facility such that by reason of a partial taking by condemnation, the same cannot, following restoration thereof (to the extent commercially practical), be operated on a commercially practicable basis for its primary Permitted Use (or the use to which it was primarily being used immediately preceding the taking), taking into account, among other relevant economic factors, the amount of square footage and the estimated revenue affected by such taking.

Events of Default		Standard events of default including failure to pay monetary sums and/or failure to comply with the covenants set forth in the Leases. With respect to monetary defaults, Tenant shall be entitled to notice and a 10 day cure period. With respect to non-monetary defaults, (unless such default is an automatic event of default as shall be provided in the Leases (e.g., bankruptcy of the Tenant or Guarantor)) Tenant shall be entitled to notice


		and, to the extent the Leases do not otherwise specify a cure period, so long as Tenant (i) commences to cure within 30 days after receipt of notice and (ii) continues to diligently attempt to cure the applicable non-monetary default, such non-monetary default shall not become an Event of Default unless it is not cured within 180 days, provided, however, such 180-day outside date shall not apply during the first five (5) years of the term of the Leases. Each of the Leases shall require Landlord to deliver all notices of default to CEC and Tenant concurrently. Landlord will refrain from exercising remedies under the Lease in respect of an Event of Default for the duration of the cure periods furnished to CEC as specifically provided in the MLSA/Guaranty term sheet. A default under the Non-CPLV Lease shall not be a default under the CPLV Lease. With respect to the Non-CPLV Lease, (a) during the term of the initial Landlord financing with respect to the Non-CPLV Facilities, a default under the CPLV Lease shall be a default under the Non-CPLV Lease, and (b) from and after the replacement of the initial Landlord financing with respect to the Non-CPLV Facilities with replacement financing, a default under the CPLV Lease shall not be a default under the Non-CPLV Lease. Any default by Tenant with respect to a Tenant Financing or Landlord with respect to a Landlord Financing shall not be considered a default under the leases.

Remedies upon Event of Default		If Landlord elects to terminate the Non-CPLV Lease or CPLV Lease upon an Event of Default by Tenant during the Term (including any Renewal Terms for which Tenant has exercised its renewal option), then Landlord shall be entitled to seek damages from Tenant and any guarantor with respect to an acceleration of future rents in accordance with applicable law, but in no event shall such damages exceed the difference between (i) the net present value of the Rent for the applicable Leased Properties for the balance of the Initial Term and/or such Renewal Term if exercised (as applicable), minus (ii) the net present value of the fair market rental for the applicable Leased Properties for the balance of the Initial Term and/or such Renewal Term if exercised (as applicable).

Alternative Dispute Resolution		The parties will reasonably consider an alternative dispute resolution process as part of the negotiation of the definitive documentation.

Effect of Lease Termination:		If the Non-CPLV Lease or CPLV Lease is terminated for any reason, at Landlord’s option (1) Tenant will cooperate (and shall cause Manager to cooperate) to transfer to a designated successor at fair market value all tangible personal property located at each Facility (as applicable) and used exclusively at such Facility (as applicable); and/or (2) Tenant shall stay in possession and continue to operate the business in the same manner as prior practice (for a period not to exceed 2-years) while the identity of a successor tenant is determined. Any amount due to Tenant hereunder for the purchase of the personal property shall be credited by Landlord against any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord under the applicable Lease (including damages, if any, in connection with the termination of such Lease).


		The foregoing is subject to the express terms of the MLSA/Guaranty in the event of a Non-Consented Lease Termination (as defined in the MLSA/Guaranty term sheet) of the Non-CPLV Lease or CPLV Lease.

REIT Provisions		Each Lease shall contain certain provisions required to satisfy REIT-related requirements applicable to Landlord, including: - Tenant shall not sublet, assign or enter into any management arrangements for the Leased Property pursuant to which subtenant rent would be based on net income or profits of the subtenant in any manner which could reasonably be expected to cause any portion of the amounts received by Landlord pursuant to the applicable Lease to fail to qualify as “rents received from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code (or any similar or successor provision thereto), or which could reasonably be expected to cause any other income of Landlord to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code. - Landlord shall have the right to assign the Leases to another person (e.g., a taxable REIT subsidiary) in order to maintain landlord’s REIT status. - Tenant shall be obligated to provide information to Landlord necessary to verify REIT compliance.

Regulatory		Landlord and Tenant shall comply with all applicable regulatory requirements. The Non-CPLV Facilities intended to be demised under the Non-CPLV Lease shall be severable into separate leases with respect to any Facility in the event necessary to comply with any applicable licensing or regulatory requirements, pursuant to a mechanism to be set forth in the Non-CPLV Lease as agreed between Landlord and Tenant. The resulting severed leases shall be cross-defaulted. If a Facility is so severed, Rent under the initial Lease shall be reduced by the Rent Reduction Adjustment with respect to such Facility, and the Rent under a lease for any such severed Facility shall be equal to such deducted amount.

Governing Law		New York, except that the provisions relating to the creation of the leasehold estate and remedies concerning recovery of possession of the Leased Property shall be governed by the law of the state where the Facility is located.

SUMMARY OF TERMS

Management and Lease Support Agreement (“MLSA”)¹

between CEC, Manager, Landlord and Tenant

in connection with the Leases

(all as hereinafter defined)


CEC:		Caesars Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation

Manager:		A wholly-owned subsidiary of CEC, as manager of the Facilities under the MLSA²

Landlord:		[Propco] collectively together with its subsidiaries that own the Facilities (as defined in the Leases), as landlord under the Leases, as more particularly described in the “Lease Term Sheet”

Tenant:		[Opco/CEOC] collectively together with certain of its subsidiaries, as joint and several tenants under the Leases, as more particularly described in the “Lease Term Sheet”. If CEOC is not a joint and several tenant, CEOC shall deliver a full and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance of all of the Tenant’s obligations under the Leases.

Leases:		(1) A certain lease of various facilities (other than Caesars Palace Las Vegas) between Landlord and Tenant and (2) a certain lease of Caesars Palace Las Vegas between Landlord and Tenant, as more particularly described in the “Lease Term Sheet”

MLSA to consist of the two separate agreements on same terms to correspond to the two separate leases. Agreements to have same terms other than as specified herein. In connection with the incorporation of the CEC guaranty into the MLSA rather than its being a stand-alone instrument, the definitive deal documentation will provide that a termination of the MLSA by Tenant or Manager (including in the case of a rejection in bankruptcy) will not, subject to the 4^th and 6^th Bullet Points of “CEC Guaranty” and subject to footnote 5 below, result in termination of CEC’s guaranty obligations under the MLSA.

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this MLSA Term Sheet or in the RSA Term Sheet, the Lease Term Sheet or the Debt Term Sheets, it is understood and agreed that all assets (other than the real property transferred to Propco upon the formation of the REIT structure) required to operate the properties consistent with current practice (the “Facility Management Assets”), shall be transferred to an entity (the “Facility Management Assets Owner”) so as to be made continuously available to Manager through a bankruptcy remote structure mutually agreeable to CEC and the Requisite Consenting Creditors that shall remove the risk of lack of access in all events (it being understood that the structures to be considered include the Facility Management Assets Owner being owned by Manager and/or Landlord).


Term:		The MLSA commences on the date the Leases commence. The MLSA automatically terminates, but may be replaced in accordance with the provisions described below, with respect to any Facility if such Facility is no longer demised under a Lease. The Term of the MLSA expires with respect to each Lease upon the earlier to occur of (1) the date that none of the Facilities are demised under such Lease, (2) (subject to clause (iii) of the first paragraph of the 4th Bullet Point of “CEC Guaranty”), Tenant and Landlord terminate the MLSA with respect to such Lease, (3) termination in connection with a Tenant Foreclosure (pursuant to option 1 in the following section entitled “Tenant Foreclosure”) and (4) the termination of such Lease (subject to and in accordance with the 4^th Bullet Point in “CEC Guaranty” below). Notwithstanding any such termination of the MLSA, in the event of a Non-Consented Lease Termination (as defined below), the following shall occur (unless expressly elected not to occur by Landlord in accordance with the 6^th Bullet Point of “CEC Guaranty”): (i) the Lease and the MLSA shall be replaced on the same terms as previously existed and (ii) the management rights and obligations of Manager shall continue thereunder subject to and on the terms contemplated below in the fourth Bullet Point of “CEC Guaranty” and the guaranty obligations of CEC shall continue thereunder subject to and on the terms contemplated below in the fourth Bullet Point of “CEC Guaranty.”³

Tenant Foreclosure:		If Tenant’s lender (or any lender, if more than one) has a valid lien on the leasehold estate under the Leases or on the direct or indirect equity in the Tenant, whether by mortgage, equity pledge or otherwise, and duly forecloses on such lien following an Event of Default under Tenant’s financing (and/or in connection with any pursuit of remedies in a bankruptcy proceeding), such lender (the “*OpCo Lenders*”) shall, in connection with and as a condition to effectuating such Tenant Foreclosure (and/or pursuit of remedies in any proceeding), irrevocably elect one of the following: (1) with the consent of

Notwithstanding anything contained in the section titled “Term” or otherwise in this MLSA Term Sheet, unless the Landlord shall have terminated the Lease or (subject to clause (iii) of the 4^th Bullet Point of “CEC Guaranty”) the MLSA expressly in writing (or expressly consented in writing to such termination), the CEC guaranty obligations shall, subject to the 4^th and 6^th Bullet Points of “CEC Guaranty” and subject to footnote 5 below, continue in effect. Each of the Lease and the MLSA shall contain a provision stating that each document is being entered into as part of an overall integrated transaction and that the parties would not be entering into one document without the other. Further, the parties will acknowledge that in a chapter 11 case, they would not reject one agreement without rejecting the other as if they were one agreement and not separable.


		Landlord (in its sole and absolute discretion) and Manager, to terminate the MLSA and, in connection with such termination, directly operate the Facilities pursuant to the terms of the Leases, or obtain a replacement operator to operate the Facilities or (2) to retain Manager as operator of the Facilities pursuant to the terms of the MLSA and keep the MLSA in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. The Opco Lenders will enter into an agreement (the “*Consent Agreement*”) with Landlord, CEC and Manager to effect the consent rights hereunder (with it being understood that any rejection of a Lease in bankruptcy will be treated as a Non-Consented Lease Termination unless in connection therewith (x) Landlord terminates the Manager under the MLSA or (y) Landlord consents to the termination of the MLSA (in its sole and absolute discretion)). In the event of a Non-Consented Lease Termination, the following shall occur (unless expressly elected not to occur by Landlord in accordance with the 6^th Bullet Point of “CEC Guaranty”): (i) the Lease and the MLSA shall be replaced on the same terms as previously existed and (ii) the management rights and obligations of Manager shall continue thereunder subject to and on the terms contemplated below in the 6^th Bullet Point of “CEC Guaranty” and the guaranty obligations of CEC shall continue thereunder subject to and on the terms contemplated below in the 6^th Bullet Point of “CEC Guaranty”.

REIT Management:		The terms of the MLSA shall be reasonably acceptable to the parties thereto and shall include, inter alia, the following terms: • Operations management provisions pursuant to which Manager will manage the Facilities in its reasonable business judgment, on reasonable and customary terms to be more fully set forth in the MLSA and, in any event, on terms or in a manner not materially less favorable or detrimental to Tenant, taken as a whole, when compared to all other properties, facilities or similar operations owned, managed and/or operated (whether now or in the future) by Manager, taken as a whole (but in any case no less favorable to Tenant than current practice). • All direct expenses for operating the Facilities will be reimbursed by Tenant (including, without limitation, fees and expenses allocated to Manager and/or Tenant for the Facilities under arrangements with Caesars Enterprise Services, LLC (“CES”)). Manager will enter into separate shared services arrangements with CES (and, if necessary, any other applicable affiliates) for access to all of its services (including without limitation use of the Total Rewards^® program) for the benefit of the Facilities so that the Facilities can be run consistent with, and on no less favorable terms and conditions


		agreed to with, any other CEC (or CEC affiliates’) directly or indirectly owned, operated or managed facilities, without discrimination against the Facilities (and in any case on no less favorable terms and conditions than those in current practice).⁴ • All expenses associated with owning and maintaining the Facility Management Assets will be reimbursed by Tenant. • Manager may delegate duties under the MLSA to one or more affiliates on customary terms so long as neither Landlord nor Tenant is prejudiced thereby.

CEC Guaranty:		Pursuant to the MLSA, CEC will guaranty the payment and performance of all monetary obligations of Tenant under the Leases, subject to the following terms: • CEC will be liable for the full amounts of the monetary obligations owed and to be owed by Tenant in respect of the Leases (not merely for any deficiency amount), unless and until irrevocably paid in full. • CEC will have no obligation to make a payment with respect to the Leases unless an “Event of Default” is continuing under the Leases. • If an “Event of Default” under either of the Leases occurs, CEC shall have no obligation to make a payment with respect to the Leases, unless CEC was given notice of the applicable default of Tenant under the Lease or CPLV Lease, as applicable, and (A) with respect to a monetary default, CEC failed to cure such default on or prior to five (5) business days after Tenant’s deadline under the applicable Lease (or, if later, after CEC’s receipt of such notice from Landlord) and (B) with respect to a non-monetary default, CEC failed to cure such default on or prior to Tenant’s deadline to cure such default under the applicable Lease (or, if later, after CEC’s receipt of such notice from Landlord). • CEC’s and Manager’s obligations with respect to each MLSA (including, without limitation, CEC’s guaranty obligations with respect to the Lease or the CPLV Lease, as applicable) shall terminate in the event the Lease or CPLV Lease (as applicable) is terminated by Landlord expressly in writing (or with Landlord’s express written consent), except to the extent of any accrued and unpaid guaranty obligations through the date of such termination and such damages to which Landlord is entitled due to such termination pursuant to the Lease or CPLV Lease, as applicable (all of which shall be immediately due and payable upon demand) (collectively, “Termination Obligations”). In addition, CEC’s obligations with respect to each MLSA (including, without limitation, CEC’s guaranty obligations with respect to the Lease or the CPLV Lease, as applicable) shall terminate in the event that Manager is

⁴	In connection with the implementation of definitive transaction documentation, Landlord must understand and approve any fee and expense structure to the extent it impacts Landlord or any of the Facilities.

terminated by Landlord expressly in writing (or by Tenant’s lender with Landlord’s express written consent, in its sole and absolute discretion) as manager of the Facilities or the CPLV Facility (as applicable)⁵; provided, however, CEC’s guaranty obligations shall continue (i) to the extent of any Termination Obligations, as applicable (all of which shall be immediately due and payable upon demand), (ii) to cover any post-termination management transition period during which Manager continues to act as manager and (iii) in all respects if Manager is Terminated for Cause (as defined below). Except as provided in this Bullet Point, CEC’s guaranty obligations under the MLSA shall not terminate for any reason.

“Terminated for Cause” means either of the foregoing, which may be elected by Landlord at its option:

(1) (i) the Landlord has expressly elected to (and does) terminate the Manager as manager and notified Manager, (ii) Landlord has determined in good faith that such termination is for Cause (as defined below) and (iii) an arbitrator shall have made a finding that Cause existed to terminate the Manager in accordance with the following sentence. Manager, Tenant, CEC and Landlord agree that the determination of whether Cause existed to terminate Manager will be decided by binding arbitration, on an expedited basis, pursuant to the [Commercial Arbitration Rules promulgated by the American Arbitration Association] before a single arbitrator who shall be mutually acceptable to Manager and Landlord and who shall conduct the arbitration in New York, New York and

⁵

Each Lease shall provide that Manager may only be terminated as manager of the Facilities or the CPLV Facility by Landlord (or by Tenant’s lender with Landlord’s express written consent in its sole and absolute discretion) and, in the event of any such termination or otherwise (including in the case of a rejection in bankruptcy), Landlord shall have the sole right to elect to appoint a replacement Manager (and if so elected by Landlord, Tenant (and its successor and assigns, including under the Consent Agreement) shall be deemed to have accepted such appointment and no other right or approval shall be necessary for such appointment to be effective). If Landlord does not elect to appoint Manager (or another CEC affiliate, to be made available by CEC, under the same terms as the MLSA as provided herein) as replacement Manager (unless prevented from making such election by order of a court or other governmental entity, automatic stay or other legal prohibition), Landlord shall be deemed to have terminated Manager with its express written consent. If Landlord is prevented from making such election by order of a court or other governmental entity, automatic stay or other legal prohibition, then Landlord and Tenant (and its successor and assigns, including under the Consent Agreement) shall be deemed to have consented to Manager’s continued management of the Facilities notwithstanding the termination of the MLSA until Landlord is no longer prevented from making such election. Each Lease shall further provide that if Manager is terminated as manager of the Facilities or the CPLV Facility other than by Landlord (or by Tenant’s lender with Landlord’s express written consent in its sole and absolute discretion), then such Lease shall automatically terminate (and such termination shall constitute a Non-Consented Lease Termination).

who shall apply New York law (collectively, a “Cause Arbitration”). In the event of a termination by Landlord of Manager under this clause (1), CEC’s guaranty obligations shall continue throughout the pendency of the Cause Arbitration, and in the event the arbitrator determines that “Cause” did not exist, (a) CEC’s guaranty obligations shall terminate and be deemed to have terminated as of such date of management termination and (b) Landlord shall reimburse CEC for (i) any amounts actually received by Landlord pursuant to CEC’s guaranty obligations under the MLSA in respect of any period following such termination during which Manager was actually not acting as manager of the Facilities and (ii) any reasonable and customary legal expenses actually incurred by CEC in connection with the arbitration. In the event the arbitrator determines that “Cause” did exist, CEC shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable and customary legal expenses actually incurred by Landlord in connection with the arbitration.

(2) (i) Landlord has determined in good faith that Cause exists to terminate Manager as manager, (ii) Landlord has delivered written notice to Manager that it has determined in good faith that Cause exists to terminate the Manager as manager, and that Landlord shall commence a Cause Arbitration to determine whether or not Cause exists, and (iii) the arbitrator in a Cause Arbitration determines that Cause exists to terminate the Manager, and Landlord thereafter terminates Manager as manager. For the avoidance of doubt, if the arbitrator determines that Cause did not exist to terminate the Manager, then the Manager shall not be terminated and shall continue to manage the Facilities and all guaranty obligations of CEC shall remain in place, all in accordance with the MLSA. Further, in the event the arbitrator determines (x) that “Cause” did not exist, Landlord shall reimburse CEC for any reasonable and customary legal expenses actually incurred by CEC in connection with the arbitration, or (y) that “Cause” did exist, CEC shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable and customary legal expenses actually incurred by Landlord in connection with the arbitration.

For purposes of the foregoing, “Cause” shall mean: (i) intentional acts or intentional omissions of Manager to the detriment of assets leased by Tenant or owned by Landlord for the benefit of other assets managed, owned or operated by Manager (or any other CEC affiliate), (ii) fraud, (iii) gross negligence, or (iv) willful misconduct.

• Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no termination or consent to termination by Landlord of CEC’s or Manager’s obligations under the MLSA shall be effective or binding without the prior written approval by the agents or trustees under the Landlord’s secured debt facilities.

• Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event a Lease is terminated without the express written consent of Landlord including, without limitation, by a rejection in bankruptcy (a “Non-Consented Lease Termination”), then, unless Landlord (or, during the continuation of an event of default under Landlord’s financing, any agent or trustee under the Landlord’s secured debt facilities) shall expressly elect otherwise in writing and expressly consents in writing to the Lease termination, the following shall occur without expense or loss of economic benefit to Landlord or any lender under Landlord’s secured debt facilities: (i) Tenant (or its successors and assigns, including under the Consent Agreement) shall transfer all of its assets (including, without limitation, rights under licenses and with respect to intellectual property) to a replacement entity directly or indirectly owned by CEC or Tenant (or its successors and assigns, including under the Consent Agreement) that will assume the rights and obligations of Tenant under the Lease (the “Replacement Tenant”), (ii) a new lease (the “Replacement Lease”) on terms identical to the Lease so terminated shall be entered into by Landlord with the Replacement Tenant and (iii) to the extent not transferred pursuant to clause (i) above or otherwise provided by Manager, CEC and CES shall replicate all prior arrangements with respect to management, sub-management, licensing, intellectual property and otherwise as necessary to provide for the continued management and operation of the Facilities as existed prior to such termination, and, upon such occurrence (x) CEC, Manager, Replacement Tenant and Landlord shall enter into a new management and lease support agreement on terms identical to the MLSA (and CEC, Manager and its applicable affiliates shall enter into any necessary associated sub-management, licensing and other applicable arrangements) and (y) the management rights and obligations of Manager and guaranty obligations of CEC shall continue with respect to such Replacement Lease as set forth in the MLSA. The Consent Agreement will provide that Tenant and the OpCo Lenders will act in support of this right. If (1) the Landlord (or, during the continuation of an event of default under Landlord’s financing, any agent or trustee under such secured financing of Landlord) has not expressly elected in writing that the foregoing shall not occur and (2) clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) do not occur other than as a direct and proximate result of Landlord’s acts or failure to act in accordance with this Bullet


		Point, then CEC’s guaranty shall not terminate. If Landlord (or, during the continuation of an event of default under Landlord’s financing, any agent or trustee under such Landlord financing) elects in writing that the foregoing shall not occur and/or clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) do not occur as a direct and proximate result of Landlord’s acts or failure to act in accordance with this Bullet Point, then Landlord and its lenders shall have been deemed to expressly consent to the termination of the Lease in writing (and CEC’s guaranty shall terminate, subject to CEC’s continuing liability for the Termination Obligations). Landlord shall have the right of specific performance to compel CEC and/or its affiliates to comply with the foregoing. In addition, CEC, Manager and Landlord shall have the right of specific performance to compel Tenant (or its successors and assigns, including under the Consent Agreement (which shall contain such remedy)) to comply with the foregoing. If Tenant (or its successors and assigns, including under the Consent Agreement) do not cooperate with the foregoing, CEC and Manager shall have the right to replicate the structure, including determining the ownership and identity of the Replacement Tenant, without regard to the interests of Tenant or its successors (including the OpCo Lenders).

CEC Covenants:		The MLSA shall contain customary terms and waivers of all suretyship and other defenses by CEC and will include a covenant by CEC requiring that (a) the sale of assets by CEC be for fair market value consideration, on arm’s-length terms and, in the event of sales to affiliates, be subject to (i) confirmation of fair market value by the approval of an independent group of CEC’s board of directors and by a fairness opinion from an investment bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord (with an approved list of investment banks to be agreed in the MLSA) and (ii) a right of first refusal in favor of Landlord or its designee and (b) non-cash dividends by CEC be permitted only to the extent such dividends would not reasonably be expected to result in CEC’s inability to perform its guaranty obligations under the MLSA. The parties acknowledge that the CEC guaranty of Tenant’s first lien debt as of the effective date will contain certain covenants of CEC and its subsidiaries in respect of the transfer or other disposition of assets, as well as other matters, all as more particularly outlined in the CEC Guaranty and Pledge Agreement Covenants term sheet (such covenants or any similar or other covenants in respect of the Opco first lien debt or any subsequent refinancing thereof, the “Opco Debt Guaranty Covenants”). The MLSA shall contain provisions to the effect that, if, during the


		term of the MLSA, Tenant’s first lien debt or any subsequent refinancing thereof is refinanced as part of a Non-Third Party Financing (as defined below), then the Opco Debt Guaranty Covenants shall immediately spring into effect and become effective covenants under the MLSA. “Non-Third Party Financing” means any financing in which the Sponsors and/or any of their Affiliates (each as defined in the CEC Guaranty and Pledge Agreement Covenants term sheet) (1) act as a lender, trustee, agent or otherwise provides financing, or (2) holds either (x) a controlling direct or indirect interest or (y) a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 10% in any such lender, trustee, agent or other provider (any lender, trustee, agent or other provider under clause 2(x) or clause (2)(y), a “Sponsor Lender Entity”), and in each case the amount of such financing provided by any Sponsor and/or its Affiliate(s) and/or any Sponsor Lender Entity either (A) exceeds 10% of such financing, or (B) is not a strictly “passive” investment (i.e., having no vestiges of control or any ability to exercise any decision making in respect of the overall financing other than, for the avoidance of doubt, customary voting rights attributable to the loans that extend to all other lenders under such financing).

Collateral:		CEC’s guaranty obligations under the Leases will be included as additional pari passu secured obligations secured under the security agreement and any other related instruments securing the CEC guaranty in respect of the Opco first lien debt (or any CEC guaranty in respect of any refinancing thereof) in order to provide a security interest in all collateral thereunder to secure such Lease obligations. Such security interest will be a “silent” security interest that provides the Landlord with a secured claim against CEC while any such CEC debt guaranty remains in effect, and the Landlord shall have no voting, enforcement or default related rights with respect to such debt guaranty or collateral, unless and until the earlier of (x) the occurrence of a default in respect of any of CEC’s guaranty obligations with respect to the Leases, or (y) the occurrence of a Holdco Guaranty Breach and the Exhaustion of Remedies Date (as each such term is defined in the form of CEC Guaranty and Pledge Agreement), in which case Landlord shall have all rights afforded to the beneficiary of such Opco debt guaranty and/or the Opco lender. Landlord shall be a party to such security agreement and all related instruments that provide for such rights, subject to the foregoing and to the following paragraph.


		The collateral that secures the CEC Lease guaranty obligations shall be the same collateral that secures any such CEC debt guaranty obligations at any time, and the CEC Lease guaranty obligations shall be secured by such collateral on a pari passu basis with such CEC debt guaranty obligations for so long as such debt guaranty obligations are secured. CEC will cause the lenders benefitting from the CEC debt guaranty to enter into an intercreditor agreement reasonably acceptable to CEC and the Requisite Consenting Creditors containing, among other things, provisions governing the pari passu coverage of such collateral provisions and the “waterfall” by which any proceeds of, or collections on, the collateral will be distributed as between the CEC debt guaranty and the Lease guaranty obligations and such other arrangements as are consistent with this section.

Integrated Agreement:		For the avoidance of doubt, each of the provisions constituting the MLSA, including the management obligations of Manager and the guaranty obligations of CEC, are and are intended to be part of a single integrated agreement and shall not be deemed to be separate or severable agreements.

The Corporation will make a similar allocation for each taxable year with respect to any undistributed long-term capital gains of the Corporation that are to be included in its stockholders’ long-term capital gains, based on the allocation of the Capital Gains Amount that would have resulted if such undistributed long-term capital gains had been distributed as “capital gains dividends” by the Corporation to its stockholders.

(F) No dividends or other distributions (other than a dividend or distribution payable solely in shares of Junior Stock or cash in lieu of fractional shares) will be declared, made or paid or set apart for payment on any Junior Stock, nor may any Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (other than repurchases pursuant to binding contractual commitments of Junior Stock held by employees, directors or consultants upon termination of their employment or services) by the Corporation or on its behalf (except by conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into or exchange for shares of Junior Stock) unless dividends are simultaneously declared on the Series A Preferred Stock, and full Accrued Dividends and Accumulated Dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such payment on the Series A Preferred Stock for all dividend periods ending on or prior to the date of such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or acquisition; provided, that the foregoing restriction will not limit the acquisition of shares of Common Stock or the declaration or payment of cash dividends on Common Stock solely to the extent necessary to preserve the Corporation’s qualification as a REIT.

(G) The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payment on those shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion of such shares following that Dividend Record Date or the Corporation’s default in payment of the dividend due on that Dividend Payment Date. A holder of Series A Preferred Stock on a Dividend Record Date that surrenders (or whose transferee surrenders) any shares for conversion on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date shall receive the dividend payable by the Corporation on the Series A Preferred Stock on that date, and the converting holder need not include payment in the amount of such dividend upon surrender of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for conversion.

(A) Immediately prior to or in connection with (i) any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation or any other similar event or proceeding (each a “Liquidation Event”), (ii) a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, or (iii) any other Deemed Liquidation Event other than pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof except for any such Deemed Liquidation Event that was approved by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 10 hereof, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive and to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, the Original Issue Price, plus an amount equal to any Accumulated Dividends, if any, and Accrued Dividends, if any, to the date of payment, before any payment or distribution of assets is made to holders of the Junior Stock (such amounts, the “Liquidation Preference), subject to the election provided in section 6(C) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, it is understood and agreed that if any Deemed Liquidation Event or Liquidation Event occurs without the approval by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 10 hereof or pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv) or (vi) (in the case of clause (vi), as a result of a change in law) of the definition of Deemed Liquidation Event, due to law or otherwise, then without limitation to their rights and remedies under these Articles Supplementary or otherwise, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will continue to retain their Series A Preferred Stock, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be an obligation or the Corporation and not any successor entity, including by way of merger, unless such holders make a written election within 20 Business Days of receipt of notice of such event from the Corporation to receive the Liquidation Preference. Upon the payment in full of the Liquidation Preference, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any remaining assets of the Corporation.

(B) If, upon a Liquidation Event or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to the holders the sums that such holders are entitled to receive in such case, then all of the assets available for distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be distributed among and paid to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock ratably in proportion to the respective amounts that would be payable to such holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.

(C) The Corporation shall provide the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock with written notice of any Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (v) or (vii) of the definition thereof not less than 20 Business Days prior to the consummation of such transaction and as soon as reasonably practicable following the Corporation’s knowledge of the occurrence of any other Deemed Liquidation Event. In addition to the election provided to holders of Series A Preferred Stock to retain their Series Preferred Stock, if applicable under Section 6(A) hereof, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may elect in their sole discretion no later than 5 Business Days prior to the consummation of a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (v) or (vii) of the definition thereof to convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7 into Common Stock immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation of) such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event and share in the proceeds and other consideration of the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event as holders of Common Stock in lieu of the Liquidation Preference. For the avoidance of doubt, if no election is made pursuant to this Section 6(C) to convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7 into Common Stock, each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will receive the Liquidation Preference or will retain their Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, in accordance with Section 6(A) hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may elect in their sole discretion at any time to convert their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to Section 7, including in the case of an event pursuant to clauses (iii), (iv) or (vi) of the definition of Deemed Liquidation Event.

Section 7. Conversion.

(A) Each holder of a Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at any time, at its option, to convert, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 7, any or all of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock into such whole number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock per share of converted Series A Preferred Stock based on the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date, provided that the holder may make such conversion contingent upon and subject to the consummation of a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event. If, as of the Conversion Date, the Corporation has not declared and paid all or any portion of the Accumulated Dividends and/or Accrued Dividends prior to such Conversion Date, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock converting such Series A Preferred Stock at such time shall receive an additional number of shares of Common Stock based on the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date in respect of such Accumulated Dividends and/or Accrued Dividends.

(B) The conversion right of a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be exercised by such holder by the surrender to the Corporation of the certificates representing shares to be converted at any time during usual business hours at its principal place of business or the offices of its duly appointed Transfer Agent to be maintained by it, accompanied by (i) written notice to the Corporation in the form of Exhibit B hereto that the holder elects to convert all or a portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by such certificate and specifying the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued, (ii) (if so required by the Corporation or its duly appointed Transfer Agent) a written instrument or instruments of transfer and endorsements in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation or its duly appointed Transfer Agent duly executed by such holder or its duly authorized legal representative and transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to Section 7(H), and (iii) funds for the payment of any stock transfer, documentary, stamp or similar taxes not payable by the Corporation. The Corporation will deliver a stock certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion, together with, if applicable, any payment of cash dividends and cash in lieu of fractional shares, to such holder, or in the case of Series A Preferred Stock held in global certificates, the Transfer Agent will deliver the shares of Common Stock by a book-entry transfer through DTC. Such delivery will be made as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three Business Days following the Conversion Date.

(C) As of the close of business on the Conversion Date with respect to a conversion, a converting holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such holder’s Series A Preferred Stock notwithstanding that the share register of the Corporation shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Common Stock shall not then have been actually delivered to such holder. On the Conversion Date, all rights with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of the holders thereof to (i) receive the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been converted (with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Corporation may elect pursuant to Section 13) and (ii) exercise the rights to which they are thereafter entitled as holders of Common Stock and/or any other property receivable by the Holder upon such conversion. Prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose and the Holders will have no rights with respect to such Common Stock, including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock, by virtue of holding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(D) The Conversion Rate shall be subject to the following additional adjustments (except as provided in Section 7(E)), without duplication:

(i) Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution, the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be divided by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination; and

(b) the denominator of which is the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination. If any dividend or distribution described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) publicly announces its decision not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to such Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For the purposes of this clause (i), the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination shall include any shares issuable in respect of any scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(ii) Issuance of Options, Warrants or Rights. Except as otherwise adjusted pursuant to Section 7(D)(xi) hereof, if the Corporation issues to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock any options, warrants or rights entitling such holders from the date of issuance of such options, warrants or rights, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price, the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants shall be increased by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which is the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such options, warrants or rights; and

(b) the denominator of which is the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination and the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of the aggregate offering price (including, for clarity, any initial option premiums) payable to exercise such options, warrants or rights divided by the Current Market Price.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination. In the event that such options, warrants or rights described in this clause (ii) are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) publicly announces its decision not to issue such options, warrants or rights, to such Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such issuance had not been declared. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price payable to exercise such options, rights or warrants, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such options, rights or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined in good faith and in a reasonable manner by the Board or an authorized committee thereof, which determination shall be final if certified in writing by an independent appraiser). For the purposes of this clause (ii), the number of shares of Common Stock at the time outstanding shall include any shares issuable in respect of any scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(iii) Subdivisions and Combinations of the Common Stock. If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or combined into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the effective date of such subdivision or combination shall be multiplied by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, such subdivision or combination; and

(b) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (iii) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(iv) Debt or Asset Distribution. A) If the Corporation distributes to any holder of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, rights to acquire shares of the Corporation’s capital stock, cash or other assets (excluding (1) any dividend or distribution covered by Section 7(D)(i), (2) any options, warrants or rights covered by Section 7(D)(ii), (3) any dividend or distribution covered by Section 7(D)(v) and (4) any Spin-Off to which the provisions set forth in Section 7(D)(iv)(B) apply) in respect of its Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution shall be multiplied by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which is the Current Market Price; and

(b) the denominator of which is the Current Market Price minus the Fair Market Value, on such date fixed for determination, of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, rights to acquire the Corporation’s capital stock, cash or other assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock.

B) In the case of a Spin-Off, the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution shall be multiplied by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which is the sum of the Current Market Price of the Common Stock and the Fair Market Value of the portion of those shares of capital stock or similar equity interests so distributed that is applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the 15th Trading Day after the effective date for such distribution (or, if such shares of capital stock or equity interests are listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, the Current Market Price of such securities); and

(b) the denominator of which is the Current Market Price of the Common Stock.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (iv) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution. In the event that such distribution described in this clause (iv) is not so made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) publicly announces its decision not to make such distribution, to such Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

For purposes of clause (i), clause (ii) and this clause (iv), if any dividend or distribution to which this clause (iv) is applicable includes one or both of:

(c) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which clause (i) is applicable (the “Clause I Distribution”); and an issuance of rights or warrants to which clause (ii) is applicable (the “Clause II Distribution”), then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause I Distribution, if any, and the Clause II Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this clause (iv) is applicable (the “Clause IV Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this clause (iv) with respect to such Clause IV Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause I Distribution, if any, and Clause II Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause IV Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by clause (i) and clause (ii) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Corporation (I) the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any Clause I Distribution or Clause II Distribution shall be deemed to be the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Clause IV Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in any Clause I Distribution or Clause II Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of clauses (i) and (ii).

(v) Cash Distributions. If the Corporation pays or makes a dividend or other distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all holders of Common Stock (excluding any dividend or other distribution in connection with the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and any consideration payable as part of a tender or exchange offer by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation covered by Section 7(D)(vi)), the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be multiplied by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which is the Current Market Price, and

(b) the denominator of which is the absolute value of the difference between

(1) the Current Market Price and

(2) the amount per share of Common Stock of such dividend or other distribution (whether ordinary, extraordinary, special or otherwise), provided that if such amount per share of Common Stock with respect to ordinary regular quarterly cash dividends on the Common Stock in the aggregate per annum is greater than 5% per annum of the Current Market Price, such amount per share of Common Stock with respect to the ordinary regular quarterly cash dividends on the Common Stock that would result in the ordinary regular cash dividends exceeding 5% per annum shall be reduced so that the ordinary regular cash dividends per annum equal 5% per annum of the Current Market Price (the “Cap”). The Cap shall not apply to any extraordinary dividends, special dividends or any dividends or other distributions that are not ordinary regular quarterly cash dividends (collectively, “Special Dividends”), and any Special Dividends shall equal the amount per share of Common Stock of such dividends or other distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, “extraordinary dividend” shall include, without limitation, any dividend or distribution that is derived from a sale of assets or activity outside the ordinary course of business.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (v) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. In the event that any dividend or other distribution described in this clause (v) is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) publicly announces its decision not to pay such dividend or make such other distribution, to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or other distribution had not been declared.

(vi) Self Tender Offers and Exchange Offers. If the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation successfully completes a tender or exchange offer pursuant to a Schedule TO or registration statement on Form S-4 for Common Stock (excluding any securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock), where the cash and the value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Current Market Price, the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of expiration of the tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”) shall be multiplied by a fraction:

(a) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of:

(1) the aggregate cash and Fair Market Value on the Expiration Date of any other consideration paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer; and

(2) the product of (x) the Current Market Price and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time such tender or exchange offer expires, less any purchased shares; and

(b) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of:

(1) the Current Market Price; and

(2) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time such tender or exchange offer expires, including any purchased shares.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (vi) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 10th Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date but will be given effect as of the open of business on the Expiration Date. In the event that the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Corporation or such subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversation Rate shall be readjusted to be such Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if the application of this clause (vi) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this clause (vi).

(vii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7(D) to the contrary, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective pursuant to any of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of this Section 7(D) on any Ex-Date as described above, and a holder that converts its Series A Preferred Stock on or after such Ex-Date and on or prior to the related record date would be treated as the record holder of shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date set forth in Section 7(B) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Date, then, notwithstanding the foregoing Conversion Rate adjustment provisions, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Date will not be made for such converting holder. Instead, such holder will be treated as if such holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock on an un-adjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(viii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7(D) to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 7(D) need be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate then in effect. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such Conversion Rate; provided that on the date of an optional conversion, adjustments to the Conversion Rate will be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward that has not been taken into account before such date. In addition, at the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending [ ], 201[ ], the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted to give effect to any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, and such adjustments will no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Adjustments to the Conversion Rate will be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share.

(ix) Subject to the provisions of this Section 7(D), the voting rights set forth in Section 10 hereof [and any voting rights otherwise under the Charter]⁵, in the case of any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification described in Section 7(D)(iii) above), a consolidation, merger (excluding a merger solely for the purpose of changing the Corporation’s jurisdiction of incorporation) or combination involving the Corporation, or a sale, lease or other transfer to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (or of the Corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis), or any statutory share exchange, in each case as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any of the foregoing, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, following any such Fundamental Transaction, in each case pursuant to which shares of Common Stock would be converted into or exchanged for, or would constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction, provided that if the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property receivable

⁵	NTD: subject to review and agreement of the Charter provisions by the backstop investors.

upon such Fundamental Transaction is not the same for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction by a Person and such Person has the right to make an election as to the form of consideration deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, then the property so receivable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock that affirmatively make an election (or of all such holders if none makes an election).

(x) To the extent permitted by law and the continued listing requirements of any national securities exchange on which shares of the Common Stock are listed, the Corporation may, from time to time, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days or any longer period permitted or required by law, so long as the increase is irrevocable during that period and the Board determines that the increase is in the Corporation’s best interests. The Corporation will mail a notice of the increase to registered Holders at least 15 calendar days before the day the increase commences. In addition, the Corporation may, but is not obligated to, increase the Conversion Rate as it determines to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish taxes to recipients of certain distributions.

(xi) To the extent that the Corporation has a stockholder rights plan or agreement (i.e., a “poison pill”) in effect upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will receive, upon a conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to Common Stock, rights under the stockholder rights plan or agreement with respect to the Common Stock received upon conversion unless, prior to conversion, the rights have expired, terminated or been redeemed or unless the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock. If the rights provided for in any rights plan or agreement that the Board has adopted have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan or agreement so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of the shares of Common Stock that the Corporation delivers upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Corporation had distributed to all holders of Common Stock evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property pursuant to Section 7(D)(iv), subject to readjustment upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights.

(E) The Conversion Rate will not be adjusted upon the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(F) The Corporation shall not take any action that would require an adjustment to the Conversion Rate such that the Conversion Price, as adjusted to give effect to such action, would be less than the then applicable par value per share of the Common Stock, except that the Corporation may undertake a share split or similar event if such share split results in a corresponding reduction in the par value per share of the Common Stock such that the as-adjusted new Conversion Price per share would not be below the new as-adjusted par value per share of the Common Stock following such share split or similar transaction and the Conversion Rate is adjusted as provided under Section 7(D)(i) and any other provision of Section 7(D). The Corporation also shall not take any action that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate in a manner that does not comply with any applicable stockholder approval rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed at the relevant time.

(G) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time there shall be insufficient unissued shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(H) The issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or the payment or partial payment of a dividend on Series A Preferred Stock in Common Stock shall be made without charge to the converting holder or recipient of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for such certificates or for any tax in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby, and such certificates shall be issued or delivered in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted; provided, however, that the Corporation

shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of the relevant Series A Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance or delivery thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

(I) Upon any increase or decrease in the Conversion Rate, then, and in each such case, the Corporation promptly shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Transfer Agent a certificate signed by an Officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased Conversion Rate then in effect following such adjustment (which certificate shall, upon request, be made available by the Transfer Agent to any holder or beneficial owner of Series A Preferred Stock).

(J) Any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to list the Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, prior to such delivery, upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are listed at the time of such delivery.

(K) The Corporation shall act in good faith and shall not deny to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the rights and benefits intended to be conferred upon the holders thereof (including with respect to adjustments to the Conversion Rate), including without limitation, by effectuating any merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise.

Section 8. Mandatory Market Trigger Conversion. On and after the sixth anniversary of the Issue Date, the Corporation shall have the option to compel all holders to convert all or a portion, on a pro–rata basis, of the Series A Preferred Stock held by all holders into Common Stock (a “Mandatory Conversion”). The Corporation may exercise a Mandatory Conversion by providing written notice to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (“Notice of Mandatory Conversion”) within three Business Days following a period (which, if any event requiring an adjustment under Section 7(D)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (vi) occurs, shall not commence until the second business day after such adjustment pursuant to Section 7(D)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and/or (vi), and shall reset each time any such event occurs) in which for at least 20 Trading Days in the aggregate during 30 consecutive Trading Days, the VWAP per share of Common Stock on each Trading Day was equal to or greater than the percentage of the Mandatory Conversion Trigger Price as set forth below for the relevant 12-month period beginning with the anniversary of the Issue Date set forth below:


Year	Percentage of Mandatory Conversion Trigger Price
6th Anniversary		175.0	%
7th Anniversary		165.0	%
8th Anniversary		160.0	%
9th Anniversary		155.0	%
10th Anniversary		150.0	%
11th Anniversary		145.0	%
12th Anniversary		140.0	%
13th Anniversary		135.0	%
14th Anniversary		130.0	%
15th Anniversary and thereafter		125.0	%

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock subject to a Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall be convertible into such whole number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock per share of converted Series A Preferred Stock based on the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date. The date specified in the Notice of Mandatory Conversion as the date of the Mandatory Conversion, which date shall not be less than 20 nor more than 60 days after the date that the Notice of Mandatory Conversion is issued, is the “Mandatory Conversion Date.” The Notice of Mandatory Conversion to each holder shall specify (i) the amount of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock that are subject to Mandatory Conversion, (ii) the then applicable Conversion Rate, along with reasonable documentation supporting such calculation and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon conversion. Each Mandatory Conversion Date shall be a deemed Conversion Date, and the Corporation will be required to deliver the Common Stock issuable pursuant to a Mandatory Conversion Notice in the same manner and time period, and the Mandatory Conversion shall otherwise have all of the effects of a conversion, as described in Section 7 hereof. In the event the Corporation fails to deliver the Common Stock issuable upon Mandatory Conversion on the delivery date, then at such holder’s election, such Notice of Mandatory Conversion will be null and void or such holder may enforce the Notice of Mandatory Conversion. A Notice of Mandatory Conversion may not be rescinded by the Corporation without the consent of such holder.

Section 9. Optional Redemption by Holders.

(A) Optional Redemption by Holders. At (i) any time and from time to time on or after the date that is the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Issue Date, (ii) upon the occurrence of a Breach or (iii) other than as expressly contemplated in the Plan of Reorganization, the effective date of a confirmed plan in Chapter 11 bankruptcy case of the Corporation or in a similar bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or reorganization or similar event, in each case, upon written notice from a holder of Series A Preferred Stock (a “Redemption Request”), the number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the Redemption Request shall be redeemed by the Corporation for cash out of funds available therefor under Maryland law at a price per share equal to the Liquidation Preference (the “Redemption Price”). The date of redemption pursuant to this Section 9 shall be a date that is not more than 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of a Redemption Request (the “Redemption Date”). On the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem the number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock set forth in the Redemption Request. If the Corporation does not have sufficient funds available to redeem on any Redemption Date all shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem a portion of such holder’s redeemable shares of such stock out of funds available therefor under Maryland law, and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds available therefor under Maryland law.

(B) Redemption Notice. The Corporation shall send written notice of the redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock submitting a Redemption Request as promptly as practicable prior to the Redemption Date. The Redemption Notice shall state:

(i) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the holder that the holder requests the Corporation to redeem on the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice;

(ii) the Redemption Date and the Redemption Price; and

(iii) that the holder will surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates, properly endorsed, representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed.

(C) Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, unless such holder has exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares as provided in Section 7, shall surrender the certificate or certificates, properly endorsed, representing such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, which agreement shall not require the posting of a bond) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event

less than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued by the Corporation to such holder or their designee.

(D) Rights Prior to Redemption. If the Redemption Request shall have been duly given, all rights with respect to the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall continue until the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the applicable Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment in full or deposited in full with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner for payment to such holders.

(E) Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Request shall have been duly given, and if on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that the certificates representing any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor.

(F) Costs. The Corporation agrees to pay all reasonable costs of collection incurred by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock that delivered the Redemption Request arising as a result of any breach or default by the Corporation hereunder, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses.

(G) No Mandatory Redemption Right for Corporation. The Corporation shall not have any mandatory redemption rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.

Section 10. Voting Rights.

(A) On any matter presented to the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible pursuant to Section 7 as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. [Except as provided by law or as provided by the provisions of the Charter]⁶, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class on all matters other than those set forth in Section 10(B) below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that shares of Common Stock and/or Series A Preferred Stock held by any holder of Series A Preferred Stock and/or holder of Common Stock would, on the record date for a vote on matters as described in the immediately preceding sentence that are submitted to the holders of Common Stock, enable such holder to vote an interest equal to 5% or more of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of such record date, such holder shall be entitled to vote an interest equal to 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. Any interests held by such holder in excess of 4.99% shall be deemed cast in the same proportion as the issued and outstanding Common Stock with respect to such vote. The foregoing shall not apply to any holder who, on the record date for a vote on matters submitted to a vote of holders of the Common Stock, holds less than 5% of the vote in respect of such matter, and shall only apply to matters submitted to the vote of the Common Stock, and not matters that the Series A Preferred Stock vote on as a separate class set forth in Section 10(B).

(B) So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at the time given in person or by proxy at a meeting (and for these purposes, excluding such shares owned by REIT, OpCo or any subsidiary or other entity controlled by or controlling any such party) (i) repeal, amend, waive or otherwise change any provisions of the Charter (including with respect to the treatment of any [Excess Shares] (as

⁶	NTD: Subject to review of the Charter.

defined in the Charter)) or Bylaws in any manner (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) that adversely affects the powers, preferences, or other rights or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock or its holders set forth in these Articles Supplementary or the Charter or the Bylaws, whether direct or indirect, (ii) repeal, amend, waive or otherwise change any provision of these Articles Supplementary in any manner (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) that adversely affects the powers, preferences, or other rights or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock or its holders set forth in these Articles Supplementary, the Charter and/or the Bylaws, including any repeal, amendment, waiver or other change that would affect the rights of the holders to receive any payments or to convert or redeem the Series A Preferred Stock (including any conversion or redemption for preferred partnership units of the operating partnership of which the Corporation, or a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, is the general partner) or to receive notices or to elect to convert or redeem (in each case, including the timing in respect thereof), the maturity or ranking of the Series A Preferred Stock, the timing, type or amount of dividends or distributions in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock, the definition of “Yield,” the voting rights of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in this Section 10(B), the timing, type or amount of Liquidation Preference, the observer rights of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in Section 11 hereof, the optional redemption provisions of Section 9 hereof, the mandatory conversion provisions of Section 8 hereof including for the avoidance of doubt, the related definitions, the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the provisions regarding Breaches (including any amount payable in respect thereof), or any other matter that would be materially adverse to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock; provided that to the extent that such repeal, amendment, waiver or other change would disproportionately adversely affect any holder of Series A Preferred Stock as compared to any other holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, the consent of such holder shall be required, (iii) enter into any Fundamental Transaction, (iv) consummate a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event other than a Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to (x) clause (vi) of the definition of Deemed Liquidation Event solely as a result of a change in law and provided that the Corporation has used its reasonable best efforts to maintain its REIT status or (y) clauses (iii) or (iv) of such definition, (v) to amend this Section 10, (vi) increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock or issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock after the Issue Date other than to pay the dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in compliance with Section 5 of these Articles Supplementary, (vii) create any new class or series of stock, any other equity securities, or any debt or other securities convertible into equity securities of the Corporation, in each such case having a preference over, or being in parity with, the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, liquidation, voting or redemption; provided that on and after the Lower Threshold Date, such matters described in clauses (i) - (vii) above shall only require the affirmative vote or consent of holders holding at least 60% or more of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 10(B), the Corporation may, without the approval of any holder of the Series A Preferred Stock, issue up to $125,000 in non-convertible, non-voting preferred shares of the Corporation that are in parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to distributions and liquidation in order to meet the requirement that the Corporation have at least 100 shareholders for REIT qualification purposes.

Section 11. Observer Rights. In event that at any time and from to time a Breach occurs pursuant to clauses (i), through (vi) of the definition thereof is not cured within three months of its occurrence, notwithstanding any other rights or remedies that the holders of that Series A Preferred Stock may have pursuant to these Articles Supplementary or applicable law, then the holders holding of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to designate a Person (which Person may include a holder of the Series A Preferred Stock) to attend all meetings of the Board until such time as the Breach is cured, if curable. The holders holding at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock may elect such Person by written notice to the Corporation, or alternatively, prior to the time such written notice is received by the Corporation, upon the written request by any holder of Series A Preferred Stock to the Corporation, the Corporation shall call a meeting, upon not less than 10 days and not more than 30 days written notice, to all holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Section 12. Ownership Limitations. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to the restrictions on ownership and transfer set forth in Article [ ] of the Charter.⁷ Any person that violates such restrictions in acquiring actual or constructive ownership of shares of Series A Preferred Stock is required to give notice thereof immediately to the Corporation and provide the Corporation with such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect of such acquisition on the Corporation’s status as a REIT. All certificates representing shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be marked with a legend sufficient under the laws of the

⁷	NTD: Subject to review of the Charter.

State of Maryland to provide a purchaser of such shares with notice of the restrictions on transfer under Article [ ] of the Charter. Nothing in Article [ ] of the Charter shall preclude the settlement of any transactions entered into through the facilities of the [ ] or any other national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system. The fact that settlement of any transaction takes place shall not, however, negate the effect of any provision of Article [ ] of the Charter, and any transferee, and the shares of capital stock transferred to such transferee in such a transaction, shall be subject to all of the provisions and limitations in Article [ ] of the Charter.⁸

Section 13. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or securities representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Instead, the Corporation may elect to either make a cash payment to each holders of the Series A Preferred Stock that would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share (based on the Current Market Price of such share) or, in lieu of such cash payment, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to any particular holder upon conversion or in respect of dividend payments shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement referred to in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Corporation may satisfy its obligations under this Section 14 by promptly furnishing or causing to be furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to any holder of Series A Preferred Stock or to a prospective purchaser of any such Series A Preferred Stock designated by any such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, as the case may be, to the extent required to permit compliance by such holder of Series A Preferred Stock with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of any such security. “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act or any successor provisions. In the event the rules and regulations of the SEC permit the Corporation and any direct or indirect parent of the Corporation to report at any such parent entity’s level on a consolidated basis, consolidated reporting at the parent entity’s level in a manner consistent with that described in this Section 14 will satisfy this Section 14.

(iii) Book-Entry Provisions. In the event Global Series A Preferred Stock is deposited with or on behalf of DTC, the Corporation shall execute and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Series A Preferred Stock certificates that (a) shall be registered in the name of DTC as depository for such Global Series A Preferred Stock or the nominee of DTC and (b) shall be delivered by the Transfer Agent to DTC or pursuant to DTC’s instructions or held by the Transfer Agent as custodian for DTC.

Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under these Articles Supplementary with respect to any Global Series A Preferred Stock held on their behalf by DTC or by the Transfer Agent as the custodian of DTC or under such Global Series A Preferred Stock, and DTC may be treated by the Corporation, the Transfer Agent and any agent of the Corporation or the Transfer Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Series A Preferred Stock for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Corporation, the Transfer Agent or any agent of the Corporation or the Transfer Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Series A Preferred Stock.

Certificates of Certificated Common Stock will be mailed or made available at the office of the Transfer Agent for the Series A Preferred Stock on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant conversion date to the converting holder.

After a transfer of any Series A Preferred Stock or Certificated Common Stock during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to any such effective Shelf Registration Statement and in accordance with the plan of distribution thereof with respect to such Series A Preferred Stock or such Certificated Common Stock, all requirements pertaining to legends on such Series A Preferred Stock (including Global Series A Preferred Stock) or Certificated Common Stock will cease to apply, the requirements requiring that any such Certificated Common Stock issued to Holders be issued in certificated form, as the case may, will cease to apply, and Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, in global or fully registered certificated form, in either case without legends, will be available to the transferee of the Holder of such Series A Preferred Stock or Certificated Common Stock upon exchange of such transferring Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock or directions to transfer such Holder’s interest in the Global Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable.

(B) Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall sign the Series A Preferred Stock certificate for the Corporation by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Series A Preferred Stock certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Transfer Agent authenticates the Series A Preferred Stock certificate, the Series A Preferred Stock certificate shall be valid nevertheless.

A Series A Preferred Stock certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Series A Preferred Stock certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Series A Preferred Stock certificate has been authenticated under these Articles Supplementary.

The Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver certificates for up to [ ] shares of Series A Preferred Stock for original issue upon a written order of the Corporation signed by two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation. Such order shall specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Series A Preferred Stock is to be authenticated.

The Transfer Agent may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to authenticate the certificates for Series A Preferred Stock. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate certificates for Series A Preferred Stock whenever the Transfer Agent may do so. Each reference in these Articles Supplementary to authentication by the Transfer Agent includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Transfer Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

When Certificated Series A Preferred Stock is presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register the transfer of such Certificated Series A Preferred Stock or to exchange such Certificated Series A Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of Certificated Series A Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Certificated Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for transfer or exchange:

(1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(2) is being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to clause (I) or (II) below, and is accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(I) if such Certificated Series A Preferred Stock is being delivered to the Transfer Agent by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto; or

(II) if such Certificated Series A Preferred Stock is being transferred to the Corporation or to a “qualified institutional buyer” (“QIB”) in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act, (i) a certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto) and (ii) if the Corporation so requests, an Opinion of Counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 15 (C) (vii).

(ii) Restrictions on Transfer of Certificated Series A Preferred Stock for a Beneficial Interest in Global Series A Preferred Stock. Certificated Series A Preferred Stock may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in Global Series A Preferred Stock except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below.

If no Global Series A Preferred Stock is then outstanding, the Corporation shall issue and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate, upon written order of the Corporation in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Series A Preferred Stock representing the appropriate number of shares.

(iii) Transfer and Exchange of Global Series A Preferred Stock. The transfer and exchange of Global Series A Preferred Stock or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through DTC, in accordance with these Articles Supplementary (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of DTC therefor.

(iv) Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in Global Series A Preferred Stock for a Certificated Series A Preferred Stock.

(1) Any Person having a beneficial interest in Series A Preferred Stock that is being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to another exemption from registration thereunder may upon request, but only with the consent of the Corporation, and if accompanied by a certification from such Person to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto), exchange such beneficial interest for Certificated Series A Preferred Stock representing the same number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for DTC from DTC or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in Global Series A Preferred Stock and upon receipt by the Transfer Agent of a written order or such other form of instructions as is customary for DTC or the Person designated by DTC as having such a beneficial interest in a Transfer Restricted Security only, then, the Transfer Agent or DTC, at the direction of the Transfer Agent, will cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between DTC and the Transfer Agent, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by Global Series A Preferred Stock to be reduced on its books and records and, following such reduction, the Corporation will execute and the Transfer Agent will authenticate and deliver to the transferee Certificated Series A Preferred Stock.

(2) Certificated Series A Preferred Stock issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 15(C)(iv) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as DTC, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall deliver such Certificated Series A Preferred Stock to the Persons in whose names such Series A Preferred Stock are so registered in accordance with the instructions of DTC.

(v) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Series A Preferred Stock.

(1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Articles Supplementary (other than the provisions set forth in Section 15(C)(vi)), Global Series A Preferred Stock may not be transferred as a whole except by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or by DTC or any such nominee to a successor depository or a nominee of such successor depository.

(2) In the event that the Global Series A Preferred Stock is exchanged for Series A Preferred Stock in definitive registered form pursuant to Section 15(C)(vi) prior to the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such securities, such Series A Preferred Stock may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 15(C) (including the certification requirements set forth in the Exhibits to these Articles Supplementary intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Corporation.

(vi) Authentication of Certificated Series A Preferred Stock. If at any time:

(1) DTC notifies the Corporation that DTC is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the Global Series A Preferred Stock and a successor depository for the Global Series A Preferred Stock is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after delivery of such notice;

(2) DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository for the Global Series A Preferred Stock is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days; or

(3) the Corporation, in its sole discretion, notifies the Transfer Agent in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Certificated Series A Preferred Stock under these Articles Supplementary,

then the Corporation will execute, and the Transfer Agent, upon receipt of a written order of the Corporation signed by two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation requesting the authentication and delivery of Certificated Series A Preferred Stock to the Persons designated by the Corporation, will authenticate and deliver Certificated Series A Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the Global Series A Preferred Stock, in exchange for such Global Series A Preferred Stock.

(vii) Legend. (1) Except as permitted by the following paragraph (2) and in Section 15(A)(iii), each certificate evidencing the Global Series A Preferred Stock, the Certificated Series A Preferred Stock and Certificated Common Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS SECURITY (AND THE COMMON STOCK INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE) MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CORPORATION THAT (A) SUCH SECURITY (AND THE COMMON STOCK INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE) MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (1) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (2) OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (3) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), (4) TO THE CORPORATION OR (5) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (1) THROUGH (5) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE. IN ANY CASE, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY WILL NOT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ENGAGE IN ANY HEDGING TRANSACTION WITH REGARD TO THE SECURITY EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.” (*)

(*) Subject to removal upon registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or otherwise when the security shall no longer be a Transfer Restricted Security.

(2) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security (including any Transfer Restricted Security represented by Global Series A Preferred Stock) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act:

(I) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security that is a Certificated Series A Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for Certificated Series A Preferred Stock that does not bear the legend set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security; and

(II) in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security that is represented by a Global Series A Preferred Stock, with the consent of the Corporation, the Transfer Agent shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for Certificated Series A Preferred Stock that does not bear the legend set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security, if the Holder’s request for such exchange was made in reliance on Rule 144 or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and the Holder certifies to that effect in writing to the Transfer Agent (such certification to be in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto).

(viii) Cancelation or Adjustment of Global Series A Preferred Stock. At such time as all beneficial interests in Global Series A Preferred Stock have either been exchanged for Certificated Series A Preferred Stock, converted or canceled, such Global Series A Preferred Stock shall be returned to DTC for cancelation or retained and canceled by the Transfer Agent. At any time prior to such cancelation, if any beneficial interest in Global Series A Preferred Stock is exchanged for Certificated Series A Preferred Stock, converted or canceled, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by such Global Series A Preferred Stock shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Transfer Agent with respect to such Global Series A Preferred Stock, by the Transfer Agent or DTC, to reflect such reduction.

(ix) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Series A Preferred Stock.

(3) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent and the Corporation may deem and treat the Person in whose name such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are registered as the absolute owner of such Series A Preferred Stock and neither the Transfer Agent nor the Corporation shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(4) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange upon surrender of any Series A Preferred Stock certificate or Common Stock certificate at the office of the Transfer Agent maintained for that purpose. However, the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Series A Preferred Stock certificates or Common Stock certificates.

(5) Upon any sale or transfer of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including any Series A Preferred Stock represented by a Global Series A Preferred Stock Certificate) or of Certificated Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act (and based upon an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation if it so requests):

(A) in the case of any Certificated Series A Preferred Stock or Certificated Common Stock, the Corporation and the Transfer Agent shall permit the holder thereof to exchange such Series A Preferred Stock or Certificated Common Stock for Certificated Series A Preferred Stock or Certificated Common Stock, as the case may be, that does not bear the legend set forth in paragraph (C)(vii) above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock issuable in respect of the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock; and

(B) in the case of any Global Series A Preferred Stock, such Series A Preferred Stock shall not be required to bear the legend set forth in paragraph (C)(vii) above but shall continue to be subject to the provisions of paragraph (C)(iv) hereof; provided, however, that with respect to any request for an exchange of Series A Preferred Stock that is represented by Global Series A Preferred Stock for Certificated Series A Preferred Stock that does not bear the legend set forth in paragraph (c)(vii) above in connection with a sale or transfer thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act (and based upon an opinion of counsel if the Corporation so requests), the Holder thereof shall certify in writing to the Transfer Agent that such request is being made pursuant to such exemption (such certification to be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto).

(x) No Obligation of the Transfer Agent.

(1) The Transfer Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of Global Series A Preferred Stock, a member of, or a participant in DTC or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Series A Preferred Stock or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Global Series A Preferred Stock. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Series A Preferred Stock shall be given or made only to the Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of the Global Series A Preferred Stock). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Series A Preferred Stock shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Transfer Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

(2) The Transfer Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under these Articles Supplementary or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Series A Preferred Stock (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Series A Preferred Stock) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of these Articles Supplementary, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(D) Replacement Certificates. If a mutilated Series A Preferred Stock certificate is surrendered to the Transfer Agent or if the Holder of a Series A Preferred Stock certificate claims that the Series A Preferred Stock certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Corporation shall issue and the Transfer Agent shall countersign a replacement Series A Preferred Stock certificate if the reasonable requirements of the Transfer Agent are met. If required by the Transfer Agent or the Corporation, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Corporation and the Transfer Agent to protect the Corporation and the Transfer Agent from any loss which either of them may suffer if a Series A Preferred Stock certificate is replaced. The Corporation and the Transfer Agent may charge the Holder for their expenses to the extent actually incurred in replacing a Series A Preferred Stock certificate.

(E) Temporary Certificates. Until definitive Series A Preferred Stock certificates are ready for delivery, the Corporation may prepare and the Transfer Agent shall countersign temporary Series A Preferred Stock certificates. Temporary Series A Preferred Stock certificates shall be substantially in the form of definitive Series A Preferred Stock certificates but may have variations that the Corporation considers appropriate for temporary Series A Preferred Stock certificates. Without unreasonable delay, the Corporation shall prepare and the Transfer Agent shall countersign definitive Series A Preferred Stock certificates and deliver them in exchange for temporary Series A Preferred Stock certificates.

(F) Cancellation. (i) In the event the Corporation shall purchase or otherwise acquire Certificated Series A Preferred Stock, the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Transfer Agent for cancelation.

(ii) At such time as all beneficial interests in Global Series A Preferred Stock have either been exchanged for Certificated Series A Preferred Stock, converted, repurchased or canceled, such Global Series A Preferred Stock shall thereupon be delivered to the Transfer Agent for cancelation.

(iii) The Transfer Agent and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Series A Preferred Stock certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement or cancelation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Corporation unless the Corporation directs the Transfer Agent to deliver canceled Series A Preferred Stock certificates to the Corporation. The Corporation may not issue new Series A Preferred Stock certificates to replace Series A Preferred Stock certificates to the extent they evidence Series A Preferred Stock which the Corporation has purchased or otherwise acquired.

Section 16. Additional Rights of Holders. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under these Articles Supplementary, Holders shall have the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

With respect to any notice to a Holder required to be provided hereunder, neither failure to mail such notice, nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings referred to in such notice with respect to the other Holders or affect the legality or validity of any distribution, rights, warrant, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the vote upon any such action. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives the notice.

Payments, transfers, deliveries, exchanges and other matters relating to beneficial interests in Global Series A Preferred Stock certificates may be subject to various policies and procedures adopted by DTC from time to time.]

(i) upon the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof to be satisfied, which failure cannot be cured or is not cured within 10 days of written notice to the Company and CEOC by such Preferred Backstop Investor;

(ii) if any of the Company Parties alters, amends or modifies any term of this Agreement without the consent of the Required Preferred Backstop Investor, or if any alteration, amendment or modification is adverse to any Preferred Backstop Investor, without the consent of each Preferred Backstop Investor;

(iii) if any of the Company Parties breaches any representation or warranty or breaches any covenant applicable to it (other than the covenant set forth in Section 5.7) in any material respect under this Agreement and if such breach is curable, it is not cured within 10 days of written notice to the applicable Company Party by such Preferred Backstop Investor;

(iv) if any of the Milestones shall not have occurred on or prior to the applicable Milestone Date; or

(v) upon the occurrence of any matters set forth in any of clauses (a) through (k) of Section 8 of the Restructuring Support Agreement and/or a Company Termination Event (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) and/or a termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement;

provided that, in the event any Preferred Backstop Investor elects to terminate this Agreement (each, a “Terminating Preferred Backstop Investor”), the Backstop Commitments allocated to such Terminating Preferred Backstop Investor shall be allocated to all Non-Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investors who elect to acquire such Backstop Commitments on a pro rata basis (based on the Backstop Percentages of such electing Non-Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investors), and provided further that in the event no Non-Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investor elects to acquire the Backstop Commitments of the Terminating Preferred Backstop Investors, this Agreement shall terminate.

(b) Termination by the Company.

(i) (A) upon termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Company may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Preferred Backstop Investors or (B) if any Preferred Backstop Investor breaches this Agreement in a manner that causes a Preferred Backstop Investor Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Preferred Backstop Investor, and if such breach is curable, is not cured within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Company to such Preferred Backstop Investor (each, a “Preferred Backstop Investor Default” and any such defaulting Preferred Backstop Investor, a “Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investor”), then following the expiration of the five (5) Business Day notice period, the Company shall follow the procedures set forth in clause (ii) below and each of the other Preferred Backstop Investors (the “Non-Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investors”) shall have the right (the “Default Purchase Right”) but not the obligation, to purchase on the Effective Date all or a portion of the Backstop Shares that were to be purchased by the Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investor (the “Default Shares”) at a price per share equal to the Per Share Purchase Price. To the extent that the Non-Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investors (in the aggregate) desire to purchase more than the total number of Default Shares, such Default Shares shall be allocated between the Non-Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investors pro rata, based on their respective Backstop Percentages.

(ii) As soon as practicable after a Preferred Backstop Investor Default, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the Company or CEOC becoming aware of such Preferred Backstop Investor Default, the Company or CEOC shall send a written notice (in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 10.3) to each Non-Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investor, specifying the number of Default Shares.

If at the conclusion of such five (5) Business Day period, the Non-Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investors have not elected to exercise the Default Purchase Right in its entirety or have not found a third-party to replace the commitment of the Defaulting Backstop Purchaser, then the Company or CEOC may terminate this Agreement.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(b), in addition to any liability to the Company or CEOC, the parties agree that any Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investor will be liable to the Non-Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investors

for the consequences to the Non-Defaulting Preferred Backstop Investors of its breach and that the Non-Defaulting Backstop Purchasers can enforce rights of damages and/or specific performance pursuant to Section 10.18 immediately upon the expiration of the original five (5) Business Day notice period set forth Section 8(b)(i).

Both of the Company and CEOC shall jointly and severally indemnify, save and hold harmless each Preferred Backstop Investor, and each of their respective directors, officers, stockholders, employees, partners, members, managers, representatives, attorneys, other professional advisors and agents and all of their respective heirs, successors, legal administrators, permitted assigns and designees, and each Person who (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) controls any of the Preferred Backstop Investors and the officers, directors, agents and employees of any such controlling Person (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, the costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, as incurred by any or all of the Covered Persons in connection with any direct claim or claim against them by a third party for avoidance of or otherwise in connection with or arising from the payment of the Commitment Payment; provided that neither the Company nor CEOC shall have any obligation to indemnify or save and hold harmless any Covered Person (i) for any claim or expense that is judicially determined (the determination having become final and no longer subject to appeal) to have arisen solely and directly from such Covered Persons’ gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement that has caused a Preferred Backstop Investor Material Adverse Effect and that would result in the loss of such Preferred Backstop Investor’s entitlement under the terms of this Agreement to payment of the Commitment Payment or (ii) for any claim or expense that is settled prior to a judicial determination as to the exclusion set forth in clause (i) above, but determined by the Bankruptcy Court, after notice and a hearing, to be a claim or expense for which such Covered Person should not receive indemnity under the terms of this Section 9; provided that, without otherwise limiting CEOC’s or the Company’s obligation under this Section 9, CEOC and the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify any Covered Person pending such judicial determination where CEOC or the Company has in good faith and in a reasonable manner, asserted an uncured breach of this Agreement that has caused a Preferred Backstop Investor Material Adverse Effect that would result in the loss of such Preferred Backstop Investor’s entitlement under the terms of this Agreement to payment of the Commitment Payment. This provision will be in addition to the rights of each and all of the Covered Persons to bring an action against the Company for breach of any term of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each and all of the Covered Persons shall be treated as third-party beneficiaries with rights to bring an action against the Company under this Section 9.

10.3 No Waiver of Rights. All waivers hereunder must be made in writing, and the failure of any party at any time to require another party’s performance of any obligation under this Agreement shall not affect the right subsequently to require performance of that obligation. Any waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver or modification of any other provision.

10.4 Notices. Each Preferred Backstop Investor and its successors and assigns shall provide its contact information and wire instructions to KKWC.

10.5 Headings. The section and subsection headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.7 Severability.

10.9 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as set forth below, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement will be assigned by any party (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a Preferred Backstop Investor may enter into arrangements with other parties regarding its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, provided that it shall remain liable for its obligations with respect to the Backstop Commitment, and (ii) the rights, obligations and interests hereunder may be assigned, delegated or transferred, in whole or in part, by any Preferred Backstop Investor (A) either alone or in connection with a corresponding Transfer (as such term is defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) of Claims (as such term is defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) to a transferee with the consent of CEOC, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied and (B) to affiliates and to other Preferred Backstop Investors; provided, however, that such transferee, as a condition precedent to such Transfer, becomes a party to this Agreement and assumes the obligations of the transferring Preferred Backstop Investor under this Agreement by executing an addendum substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Addendum”) and, if not at such time a Preferred Backstop Investor, an assumption in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Assumption Agreement”) and deliver the same to Kleinberg, Kaplan, Wolff & Cohen, P.C. (“KKWC”) with a copy to CEOC. Any Transfer that is made in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void ab initio, and CEOC and each Preferred Backstop Investor, as applicable, shall have the right to enforce the voiding of such transfer. Following any assignment of a Preferred

Backstop Investor’s rights and obligations in this Agreement described in Section 10.9(ii) above, Schedule I hereto shall be updated by KKWC (in consultation with the assigning Preferred Backstop Investor and the Transferee) and delivered to CEOC solely to reflect the name and address of the applicable transferee and the Backstop Percentage that shall apply to such transferee, and any changes to the Backstop Percentage applicable to the assigning Preferred Backstop Investor.

In performing this Agreement, CEOC may rely solely on the most current Schedule I delivered by KKWC.

10.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and, except as expressly set forth in Section 9, nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever.

This Agreement shall become binding only after the same is signed and delivered by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

10.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.

10.13 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any actions, suits or proceedings, at Law or equity, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any agreements or transactions contemplated hereby shall be heard and determined in the Bankruptcy Court; (b) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court in any such action, suit or proceeding; (c) consents that any such action, suit or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that such party may now or hereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court; and (d) agrees that service of process in any such action, suit or proceeding may be effected by providing a copy thereof by any of the methods of delivery permitted by Section 10.3 to such party at its address as provided in Section 10.3 (provided that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Law).

10.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.13.

This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

10.18 Specific Performance.
