2. Grant to Participant. The Company hereby grants to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
Agreement, an award (the “Award”) with a target of [●] Performance Share Units (the “Target Award”). Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan or this Agreement, the grant of Performance Share Units represents
the right to receive a percentage of the Target Award, with each Performance Share Unit that becomes payable representing the right to receive one (1) Share in respect thereof and the portion of the Target Award that becomes payable hereunder
shall be paid as set forth in Section 3.2. 
 3. Terms and Conditions. 

3.1 Performance Period and Payment Eligibility. A percentage of the Target Award shall be payable based on the performance of the
Company’s Stock price (plus dividends) over the Performance Period. 
 (i) Target. The Participant shall be paid the Target
Award if the Ending Average Share Value equals the Target Price. 
 (ii) Threshold. The Participant shall not be paid any portion of
the Target Award unless the Ending Average Share Value is at least 60% of the Target Price. If the Ending Average Share Value is below 60% of the Target Price, all of the Performance Share Units awarded by this Agreement shall immediately be
forfeited and cancelled without consideration as of the last day of the Performance Period. 
 (iii) Maximum. In no event shall the
Participant be awarded more than 160% of the Target Award.

Award equal to the amount of the Target Award multiplied by the Share Performance Multiplier; provided, however, in no event shall the Share Price Multiplier be greater than 1.6.

 3.2 Vesting; Payment. The Performance Share Units shall be fully vested as of the Date of Grant and shall not be subject to
forfeiture in the event Participant’s employment with Employer terminates for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, the Performance Share Units shall be paid out under Section 2 notwithstanding any prior termination of employment. The
Performance Share Units, and any Dividend Equivalent Rights which are earned as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, shall be paid to the Participant in Shares, less applicable withholding taxes, within thirty (30) days following the end of the
Performance Period; provided, that any fractional Shares shall be paid in cash. 
 3.3 No Rights as a Stockholder; Dividend
Equivalent Rights. 
 A. Participant will have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to Performance Share Units
until the Shares relating thereto have been issued and recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agent or registrars. 
 B. In
accordance with Article 13 of the Plan, this Award is granted together with Dividend Equivalent Rights, which shall be subject to the same forfeiture, settlement and other terms and conditions as the underlying Performance Share Units with respect
to which they were credited. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights shall entitle the Participant to payment of an additional number of Performance Share Units under Section 3.2 calculated as set forth on Exhibit B hereto. 

3.4 Limits on Transferability. The Performance Share Units granted under this Agreement may be transferred solely to a trust in which
the Participant or the Participant’s spouse control the management of the assets. Any transfer of Performance Share Units shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement and the transferee shall be subject to the
same terms and conditions as if it were the Participant. No interest of the Participant under this Agreement shall be subject to attachment, execution, garnishment, sequestration, the laws of bankruptcy or any other legal or equitable process. 

3.5 Adjustments. The Award shall be subject to adjustment by the Board in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Plan in the case of
certain corporate reorganization events. 
 3.6 No Right to Continued Performance of Services. The grant of the Performance Share
Units does not confer upon the Participant any right to continue to be employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates nor may it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates for which the Participant performs
services to terminate the Participant’s employment at any time. 
 3.7 Compliance With Law and Regulations. The grant of
Performance Share Units and the obligation of the Company to issue Shares under this Agreement are subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, including those related to disclosure of financial and other information to
the Participant and to approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates for Shares prior to (A) the listing of such shares on any stock exchange on which
the Share may then be listed and (B) the completion of any registration or qualification of such 

  
 4 








 
shares under any federal or state law, or any rule or regulation of any government body which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable. 

3.8 Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Board is authorized (but not obligated) to make adjustments in
the terms and conditions of the Award, including without limitation the following (or any combination thereof): (a) continuation or assumption of the Award under the Plan by the Company (if it is the surviving company or corporation) or by the
surviving company or corporation or its parent; (b) substitution by the surviving company or corporation or its parent of awards with substantially the same terms for the Award (with appropriate adjustments to the type of consideration payable
upon settlement of the Award); (c) accelerated exercisability, vesting and/or payment under the Award immediately prior to or upon the occurrence of such event or upon a termination of employment or other service following such event; and
(d) if all or substantially all of the Company’s outstanding Shares transferred in exchange for cash consideration in connection with such Change of Control, cancellation of all or any portion of the Award for fair value (in the form of
cash, shares, other property or any combination thereof) as determined in the sole discretion of the Board. 
 4. Investment
Representation. The Participant must, within five (5) days of demand by the Company furnish the Company an agreement satisfactory to the Company in which the Participant represents that the Shares acquired upon payment are being acquired
for investment. The Company will have the right, at its election, to place legends on the certificates representing the Shares so being issued with respect to limitations on transferability imposed by federal and/or state laws, and the Company will
have the right to issue “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent. 
 5. Participant Bound by Plan. The
Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof as amended from time to time. 

6. Withholding. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold, any applicable withholding
taxes in respect of the Performance Share Units awarded by this Agreement, their grant or otherwise, and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding
taxes, which may include, without limitation, reducing the number of shares otherwise distributable to the Participant by the number of Shares whose Fair Market Value is equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld by the Company or any of its
Affiliates as a result of the settlement or otherwise of the Performance Share Units.

Company must be addressed to: MGM Growth Properties LLC, c/o MGM Resorts, 3600 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109, Attention: Designated legal counsel for purposes of administration of the MGM Growth Properties LLC 2016 Omnibus

 EXHIBIT A 

ARBITRATION 
 This Exhibit A sets forth the
methods for resolving disputes should any arise under the Agreement, and accordingly, this Exhibit A shall be considered a part of the Agreement. 
  

	1.	Except for a claim by either Participant or the Company for injunctive relief where such would be otherwise authorized by law, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement or the breach hereof
including without limitation any claim involving the interpretation or application of the Agreement or the Plan, shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the employment arbitration rules then in effect of the Judicial Arbitration
and Mediation Service (“JAMS”), to the extent not inconsistent with this paragraph. This Exhibit A covers any claim Participant might have against any officer, director, employee, or agent of the Company, or any of the Company’s
subsidiaries, divisions, and Affiliates, and all successors and assigns of any of them. The promises by the Company and Participant to arbitrate differences, rather than litigate them before courts or other bodies, provide consideration for each
other, in addition to other consideration provided under the Agreement. 

  

	2.	Claims Subject to Arbitration. This Exhibit A contemplates mandatory arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law. Only claims that are justiciable under applicable state or federal law are covered by this
Exhibit A. Such claims include any and all alleged violations of any state or federal law whether common law, statutory, arising under regulation or ordinance, or any other law, brought by any current or former employees of the Company and its
Affiliates. 

  

	3.	Non-Waiver of Substantive Rights. This Exhibit A does not waive any rights or remedies available under applicable statutes or common law. However, it does waive Participant’s right to pursue those rights and
remedies in a judicial forum. By signing the Agreement and the acknowledgment at the end of this Exhibit A, the undersigned Participant voluntarily agrees to arbitrate his or her claims covered by this Exhibit A. 


 

	4.	Time Limit to Pursue Arbitration; Initiation: To ensure timely resolution of disputes, Participant and the Company must initiate arbitration within the statute of limitations (deadline for filing) provided for by
applicable law pertaining to the claim. The failure to initiate arbitration within this time limit will bar any such claim. The parties understand that the Company and Participant are waiving any longer statutes of limitations that would otherwise
apply, and any aggrieved party is encouraged to give written notice of any claim as soon as possible after the event(s) in dispute so that arbitration of any differences may take place promptly. The parties agree that the aggrieved party must,
within the time frame provided by this Exhibit A, give written notice of a claim pursuant to Section 7 of the Agreement. In the event such notice is to be provided to the Company, the Participant shall provide a copy of such notice of a claim
to the Company’s designated legal counsel for purposes of arbitration. Written notice shall identify and describe the nature of the claim, the supporting facts and the relief or remedy sought. 


 

	5.	 Selecting an Arbitrator: This Exhibit A mandates Arbitration under the then current rules of the Judicial
Arbitration and Mediation Service (JAMS) regarding employment 



  
 A-1 









	 	
disputes. The arbitrator shall be either a retired judge or an attorney experienced in employment law and licensed to practice in the state in which arbitration is convened. The parties shall
select one arbitrator from among a list of three qualified neutral arbitrators provided by JAMS. If the parties are unable to agree on the arbitrator, each party shall strike one name and the remaining named arbitrator shall be selected.


  

	6.	Representation/Arbitration Rights and Procedures: 

  

	 	a.	Participant may be represented by an attorney of his/her choice at his/her own expense. 

  

	 	b.	The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of Nevada (without regard to its choice of law provisions) and/or federal law when applicable. In all cases, this Exhibit A shall
provide for the broadest level of arbitration of claims between the Company and Participant under Nevada or applicable federal law. The arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any different substantive law or law of remedies. 


 

	 	c.	The arbitrator shall have no authority to award non-economic damages or punitive damages except where such relief is specifically authorized by an applicable state or federal statute or common law. In such a situation,
the arbitrator shall specify in the award the specific statute or other basis under which such relief is granted. 

  

	 	d.	The applicable law with respect to privilege, including attorney-client privilege, work product, and offers to compromise must be followed. 


 

	 	e.	The parties shall have the right to conduct reasonable discovery, including written and oral (deposition) discovery and to subpoena and/or request copies of records, documents and other relevant discoverable information
consistent with the procedural rules of JAMS. The arbitrator shall decide disputes regarding the scope of discovery and shall have authority to regulate the conduct of any hearing and/or trial proceeding. The arbitrator shall have the right to
entertain a motion to dismiss and/or motion for summary judgment. 

  

	 	f.	The parties shall exchange witness lists at least 30 days prior to the trial/hearing procedure. The arbitrator shall have subpoena power so that either Participant or the Company may summon witnesses. The arbitrator
shall use the Federal Rules of Evidence. Both parties have the right to file a post hearing brief. Any party, at its own expense, may arrange for and pay the cost of a court reporter to provide a stenographic record of the proceedings.


  

	 	g.	Any arbitration hearing or proceeding shall take place in private, not open to the public, in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

  

	7.	 Arbitrator’s Award: The arbitrator shall issue a written decision containing the specific issues
raised by the parties, the specific findings of fact, and the specific conclusions of law. The award shall be rendered promptly, typically within 30 days after conclusion of the arbitration hearing, or the submission of post-hearing briefs if
requested. The arbitrator may not award any relief or remedy in excess of what a court could grant under 



  
 A-2 









	 	
applicable law. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on both parties. Judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction.


  

	 	a.	Either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration under this Exhibit A and to enforce an arbitration award. 


 

	 	b.	In the event of any administrative or judicial action by any agency or third party to adjudicate a claim on behalf of Participant which is subject to arbitration under this Exhibit A, Participant hereby waives the right
to participate in any monetary or other recovery obtained by such agency or third party in any such action, and Participant’s sole remedy with respect to any such claim shall be any award decreed by an arbitrator pursuant to the provisions of
this Exhibit A. 

  

	8.	Fees and Expenses: The Company shall be responsible for paying any filing fee and the fees and costs of the arbitrator; provided, however, that if Participant is the party initiating the claim, Participant will
contribute an amount equal to the filing fee to initiate a claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the state in which Participant is (or was last) employed by the Company. Participant and the Company shall each pay for their own expenses,
attorney’s fees (a party’s responsibility for his/her/its own attorney’s fees is only limited by any applicable statute specifically providing that attorney’s fees may be awarded as a remedy), and costs and fees regarding
witness, photocopying and other preparation expenses. If any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorney’s fees and costs, or if there is a written agreement providing for attorney’s fees and/or costs,
the arbitrator may award reasonable attorney’s fees and/or costs to the prevailing party, applying the same standards a court would apply under the law applicable to the claim(s). 


 

	9.	The arbitration provisions of this Exhibit A shall survive the termination of Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates and the expiration of the Agreement. These arbitration provisions can only
be modified or revoked in a writing signed by both parties and which expressly states an intent to modify or revoke the provisions of this Exhibit A. 

  

	10.	The arbitration provisions of this Exhibit A do not alter or affect the termination provisions of this Agreement. 

  

	11.	Capitalized terms not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the same definition as in the Agreement to which this is Exhibit A. 

  

	12.	If any provision of this Exhibit A is adjudged to be void or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, such adjudication shall not affect the validity of the remainder of Exhibit A. All other provisions shall remain
in full force and effect.

 EXHIBIT B 

DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS 
 Pursuant to
Section 3.3(B) of the Agreement, an aggregate number of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be credited to the Participant as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Whenever a dividend is paid with respect to the Company’s Shares, a corresponding number of Target Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be credited to the Participant in a number of additional full and fractional
Performance Share Units equal to the product of (a) the sum of (i) the number of Performance Share Units subject to the Target Award plus (ii) the sum of all Target Dividend Equivalent Rights calculated in respect of all previously
paid dividends, and (b) a fraction equal to (i) the applicable per-Share dividend amount divided by (ii) the closing price of a Share on the dividend payment date (such product, a “Target Dividend Equivalent Right”).


  

	 	2.	The determination of the number of Dividend Equivalent Rights which are payable pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Agreement shall be determined as the product of (a) the sum of all Target Dividend Equivalent
Rights determined in accordance with Section 3.5(B) and (b) a fraction equal to (i) the number of Performance Share Units which are earned in accordance with Section 3.1 divided by (ii) the number of Performance Share Units
subject to the Target Award. 

 By way of example, assume: 
  

	 	•	 	Target Award of 100 Performance Share Units (“PSUs”), with actual performance yielding a Share Performance Multiplier of 1.25. 


 

	 	•	 	Effective Date of January 1, 2017, with Performance Period running through January 1, 2020. 

  

	 	•	 	Closing price of $20/Share at all times. 

  

	 	•	 	Regular dividend of $2/Share paid quarterly throughout the Performance Period, on the 15th of January, April, July and October of each year. 


As of each dividend payment date, Target Dividend Equivalent Rights (“Target DERs”) credited to the Participant would be calculated as
follows (with rounding to the nearest hundredth): 
  

					
	 Dividend
 Payment

Date
	  	 Number of Incremental

Target DERs Credited on Dividend Payment Date
	  	 Sum of All

	  	(100 PSUs + 10 PSUs) × ($2 / $20) = 11 PSUs	  	21 PSUs

	  	(100 PSUs + 21 PSUs) × ($2 / $20) = 12.10 PSUs	  	33.10 PSUs
	 10/15/17
	  	(100 PSUs + 33.10 PSUs) × ($2 / $20) = 13.31 PSUs	  	46.41 PSUs
	 1/15/18
	  	(100 PSUs + 46.41 PSUs) × ($2 / $20) = 14.64 PSUs	  	61.05 PSUs
	 4/15/18
	  	(100 PSUs + 61.05 PSUs) × ($2 / $20) = 16.11 PSUs	  	77.16 PSUs


  
 B-1 









					
	7/15/18	  	(100 PSUs + 77.16 PSUs) × ($2 / $20) = 17.72 PSUs	  	94.87 PSUs
	10/15/18	  	(100 PSUs + 94.87 PSUs) × ($2 / $20) = 19.49 PSUs	  	114.36 PSUs
	1/15/19	  	(100 PSUs + 114.36 PSUs) × ($2 / $20) = 21.44 PSUs	  	135.79 PSUs
	4/15/19	  	(100 PSUs + 135.79 PSUs) × ($2 / $20) = 23.58 PSUs	  	159.37 PSUs
	7/15/19	  	(100 PSUs + 159.37 PSUs) × ($2 / $20) = 25.94 PSUs	  	185.31 PSUs
	10/15/19	  	(100 PSUs + 185.31 PSUs) × $2 / $20) = 28.53 PSUs	  	213.84 PSUs

 The number of Dividend Equivalent Rights which actually become payable would be calculated as follows (with rounding to
nearest hundredth): 
 213.84 PSUs × (125 PSUs / 100 PSUs) = 267.30 PSUs 

The sum of earned Performance Share Units and earned Dividend Equivalent Rights payable pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Agreement would be calculated as
follows: 
 125 PSUs + 267.30 PSUs = 392.30 PSUs 

The Award would be paid in the form of 392.00 Shares and $6 in cash (i.e., 0.30 fractional Shares × $20 / Share), less applicable withholding taxes.
