accommodation, to perform the essential functions of his or her job for one hundred and eighty (180) days during any three hundred and sixty five (365) consecutive calendar day period as reasonably determined by the Committee (excluding

Executive (the “Separation Date”), which Separation Date must be at least thirty (30) days or up to six (6)

  
 7 








 
months (as appropriate) after the date the notice is received by the Company (it being understood that Executive shall not work or act in competition with the Company or its affiliates as
described in Section 12 of this Agreement for the six (6) month period following delivery of the written notice referenced in the immediately preceding sentence without the prior written consent of the Company). Unless otherwise specified
herein, or in a writing executed by both parties, Executive shall not receive any of the benefits provided in this Agreement after the Separation Date except for applicable rights and benefits that apply to employees generally after their

 11. Definitions of Cause and Good Reason. 

11.1 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: 

(i) The willful failure of Executive to substantially perform Executive’s duties with the Company (as described in Section 2
and Section 3) or to follow a lawful, reasonable directive from the Board or the chief executive officer of the Company (“CEO”) or such other executive officer to whom Executive reports (other than any such failure resulting
from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Board (or the CEO, as applicable) which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board (or the CEO, as
applicable) believes that Executive has willfully not substantially performed Executive’s duties or has willfully failed to follow a lawful, reasonable directive; 
 (ii) (A) Any willful act of fraud, or embezzlement or theft, by Executive, in each case, in connection with Executive’s duties hereunder or in the course of Executive’s employment hereunder or
(B) Executive’s admission in any court, or conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony; 
 (iii)
Executive being found unsuitable for or having a gaming license denied or revoked by the gaming regulatory authorities in any jurisdiction in which the Company, Caesars Entertainment Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates
conducts gaming operations; 
 (iv) (A) Executive’s willful and material violation of, or noncompliance with, any
securities laws or stock exchange listing rules, including, without limitation, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, provided that such violation or noncompliance resulted in material economic harm to the Company, or (B) a final judicial order or
determination prohibiting Executive from service as an officer pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq (as applicable); or 

(v) A willful breach by Executive of Section 12 or Section 13 of this Agreement. 

(b) For purposes of this Section 11, no act or failure to act on the part of Executive, shall be considered “willful”
unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a
resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall 

  
 8 








 
be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of Executive shall not be deemed to be
for Cause unless and until Executive has been provided with written notice of the claim(s) against him or her under the above provision(s) and a reasonable opportunity (not to exceed thirty (30) days) to cure, if possible, and to contest said
claim(s) before the Board. 
 11.2 For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without
Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any of the following circumstances unless such circumstances are fully corrected prior to the date of termination specified in the written notice given by Executive notifying the Company of
his or her intention to terminate his or her Employment for Good Reason:

annual Base Salary, as the same may be increased from time to time pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, other than a reduction in base salary that applies to a similarly situated class of employees of the Company or its affiliates; 

(b) Any material diminution in the duties or responsibilities of Executive as of the date hereof; provided that a change in control of
the Company that results in the Company becoming part of a larger organization will not, in and of itself and unaccompanied by any material diminution in the duties or responsibilities of Executive, constitute Good Reason; 

(c) (i) The failure by the Company to pay or provide to Executive any material portion of his or her then current Base Salary or then
current benefits hereunder (except pursuant to a compensation deferral elected by Executive) or (ii) the failure to pay Executive any material portion of deferred compensation under any deferred compensation program of the Company within thirty
(30) days of the date such compensation is due and permitted to be paid under Section 409A of the Code, in each case other than any such failure that results from a modification to any compensation arrangement or benefit plan that is
generally applicable to similarly situated officers; 
 (d) The Company’s requiring Executive to be based anywhere other
than [            ] (except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with Executive’s present business travel obligations); or

Agreement, as contemplated in Section 17 hereof. 
 12. Non-Competition Agreement.

employer, employee, consultant, director, investor, contractor, or otherwise, directly or indirectly, which is in competition with the casino, casino/hotel and/or casino/resort businesses conducted by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates in the 

  
 9 








 
United States, Canada or Mexico or such other location that the Company or an affiliate of the Company conducts significant business operations (a) with respect to periods prior to the
termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates, at any time during Executive’s active employment period and (b) with respect to periods following the termination of Executive’s employment with the
Company and its affiliates, at any time during the twelve months preceding the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 12.1 shall not prevent
Executive from: (i) acquiring securities representing not more than 1% of the outstanding voting securities of any entity the securities of which are traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter market; or
(ii) obtaining employment in the hotel/resort industry for an entity that does not engage in the casino business. Executive acknowledges that the restrictions described above are reasonable as to both time and geographic scope, as the Company
competes for customers with all gaming establishments in these areas. For purposes of this Agreement, “Non-Compete Period” shall mean the following: (w) if the Executive has voluntarily terminated employment with the Company
without Good Reason, the notice period under Section 10 (including for the avoidance of doubt, the six-month notice period in the event Executive is going to work or act in competition with the Company as described in this Section 12);
(x) (1) if the Company has terminated Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause, (2) if Executive has terminated employment with the Company with Good Reason or (3) if the Company delivers to Executive a Notice

12.2 If Executive breaches any of the covenants in Section 12.1, then the Company may terminate any of his or her rights under this
Agreement, whereupon all of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall terminate without further obligation to him or her except for obligations that have been paid (except as otherwise provided in Section 12.6), accrued or are
vested as of or prior to such termination date. In addition, the Company shall be entitled to seek to enforce any such covenants, including obtaining monetary damages, specific performance and injunctive relief. Executive’s Options and Option
Shares will be treated in accordance with the terms of the New Option Plan. 
 12.3 During the Employment Term (so long as
Executive remains employed by the Company or its affiliates) and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates, Executive will not, directly or indirectly hire,
induce, persuade or attempt to induce or persuade, any salary grade 10 or higher employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, to leave or abandon employment with the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, for any reason whatsoever (other than
Executive’s personal secretary and/or assistants). 
 12.4 During the Employment Term (so long as Executive remains
employed by the Company or its affiliates) and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and its affiliates, Executive will not communicate with employees, customers, or
suppliers of the Company, or its subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company or any principals or employee thereof, or any person or organization in any manner 

  
 10 









 
whatsoever that is detrimental to the business interests of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates. Executive further agrees from the end of Executive’s full-time employment with the
Company and its affiliates not to make statements to the press or general public with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates that are detrimental to the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates or employees without the express written
prior authorization of the Company, and the Company agrees that it will not make statements to the press or general public with respect to Executive that are detrimental to him or her without the express written prior authorization of Executive.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be prohibited at the expiration of the non-competition period from pursuing his or her own business interests that may conflict with the interests of the Company. 

12.5 Each of Executive and the Company intends and agrees that if, in any action before any court, agency or arbitration tribunal legally
empowered to enforce the covenants in this Section 12, any term, restriction, covenant or promise contained herein is found to be unreasonable and, accordingly, unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed
modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court, agency or arbitration tribunal. 
 12.6 Should any court,
agency or arbitral tribunal legally empowered to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 12 find that Executive has breached the terms, restrictions, covenants or promises herein in any material respect (except to the extent it has been
modified to make it enforceable): (a) the Company will not be obligated to continue to pay Executive the salary or benefits provided for under the severance provisions contained in the Agreement (including all required benefits under benefit
plans), and (b) Executive will reimburse the Company any severance benefits received after the date of termination as well as any reasonable costs and attorney fees necessary to secure such repayments. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company
shall be entitled to money damages and/or injunctive relief due to Executive’s breach of the terms, restrictions, covenants or promises contained in this Section 12 without regard to whether or not such breach is material, it being
understood that the limiting effect of the phrase “in any material respect” in the immediately preceding sentence shall operate solely with respect to the remedies available pursuant to this Section 12.6. 

12.7 For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 12, “Executive’s employment” shall not include any
period of salary continuation hereunder. 
 12.8 This Section and all of its provisions will survive Executive’s separation
from employment for any reason. 
 13. Confidentiality. 

13.1 Executive’s position with the Company will or has resulted in his or her exposure and access to confidential and proprietary
information which he or she did not have access to prior to holding the position, which information is of great value to the Company and the disclosure of which by him or her, directly or indirectly, would be irreparably injurious and detrimental to
the Company. During his or her term of employment and without limitation thereafter, Executive agrees to use his or her best efforts and to observe the utmost diligence to guard and protect all confidential or proprietary information relating to the
Company from 

  
 11 









 
disclosure to third parties. Executive shall not at any time during and after the end of his or her full-time active employment, make available, either directly or indirectly, to any competitor
or potential competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or their affiliates, or divulge, disclose, communicate to any firm, corporation or other business entity in any manner whatsoever, any confidential or proprietary information covered
or contemplated by this Agreement, unless expressly authorized to do so by the Company in writing. Notwithstanding the above, Executive may provide such Confidential Information if ordered by a federal or state court, arbitrator or any governmental
authority, pursuant to subpoena, or as necessary to secure legal and financial counsel from third party professionals or to enforce his or her rights under this Agreement. In such cases, Executive will use his or her reasonable best efforts to
notify the Company, at least five (5) business days prior to providing such information, including the nature of the information required to be provided. 
 13.2 For the purpose of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates relating to, or useful in connection with,
the business of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, whether or not a “trade secret” within the meaning of applicable law, which is not generally known to the general public and which has been or is from time to time disclosed to,
or developed by, Executive as a result of his or her employment with the Company. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s product development and marketing programs, data, future plans, formula, food and beverage
procedures, recipes, finances, financial management systems, player identification systems (Total Rewards), pricing systems, client and customer lists, organizational charts, salary and benefit programs, training programs, computer software,
business records, files, drawings, prints, prototyping models, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, and copies thereof, whether prepared by him, her or others, and any other information or documents which Executive is told or reasonably ought to know
that the Company regards as confidential. 
 13.3 Executive agrees that upon separation from employment for any reason
whatsoever, he or she shall promptly deliver to the Company all Confidential Information, including but not limited to documents, reports, correspondences, computer printouts, work papers, files, computer lists, telephone and address books, rolodex
cards, computer tapes, disks, and any and all records in his or her possession (and all copies thereof) containing any such Confidential Information, and all items created in whole or in part by Executive within the scope of his or her employment
even if the items do not contain Confidential Information. 
 13.4 Executive shall also be required to sign a non-disclosure or
confidentiality agreement if Executive is not currently a party to such an agreement with the Company. Such agreement shall also remain in full force and effect, provided that, in the event of any conflict between any such agreement(s)
and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. The form of non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C. 
 13.5 This Section and all of its provisions will survive Executive’s separation from employment for any reason. 
 14. Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the terms provided in Sections 12 and 13 are the minimum necessary to protect the Company, its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their
successors and assigns, in the use and enjoyment of the Confidential 

  
 12 









 
Information and the good will of the business of the Company. Executive further agrees that damages cannot fully and adequately compensate the Company in the event of a breach or violation of the
restrictive covenants set forth herein and that without limiting the right of the Company to pursue all other legal and equitable remedies available to it, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, including but not limited to a
temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and permanent injunction, to prevent any such violations or any continuation of such violations for the protection of the Company. The granting of injunctive relief will not act as a waiver by the
Company of its right to pursue any and all additional remedies. 
 15. Post Employment Cooperation. Executive agrees that
upon separation for any reason from the Company, Executive will cooperate in assuring an orderly transition of all matters being handled by him or her. Upon the Company providing reasonable notice to him or her, he or she will also appear as a
witness at the Company’s request and/or assist the Company in any litigation, bankruptcy or similar matter in which the Company or any affiliate thereof is a party or otherwise involved. The Company will defray any reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Executive in connection with any such appearance. In connection therewith, the Company agrees to indemnify Executive as prescribed in Article Tenth of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company. 

16. Release. Upon the termination of Executive’s active full-time employment, and in consideration of and as a condition to
the actual receipt of all compensation and benefits described in this Agreement (including without limitation any severance payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Severance Agreement), except for claims arising from the covenants, agreements,
and undertakings of the Company as set forth herein and except as prohibited by statutory language, Executive and the Company will enter into an agreement which forever and unconditionally waives and releases Caesars Entertainment Corporation,
Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc., their subsidiaries and affiliates, and their officers, directors, agents, benefit plan trustees, and employees from any and all claims, whether known or unknown, and regardless of type, cause or nature,
including but not limited to claims arising under all salary, vacation, insurance, bonus, stock, and all other benefit plans, and all state and federal anti-discrimination, civil rights and human rights laws, ordinances and statutes, including Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, concerning Executive’s employment with Caesars Entertainment Corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates, the cessation of that employment and Executive’s
service as a shareholder, employee, officer and director of the Company and its subsidiaries. The form of release is set forth in Exhibit B. 
 17. Assumption of Agreement on Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets. In the event the Company agrees to (a) enter into any merger or consolidation with another company in which the Company
is not the surviving company or (b) sell or dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, and the company which is to survive fails to make a written agreement with Executive to either: (1) assume the Company’s financial
obligations to Executive under this Agreement or (2) make such other provision for Executive as is reasonably satisfactory to Executive, then Executive shall have the right to resign for Good Reason as defined under this Agreement. 

  
 13 









 18. Assurances on Liquidation. The Company agrees that until the termination of this
Agreement as above provided, it will not voluntarily liquidate or dissolve without first making a full settlement or, at the discretion of Executive, a written agreement with Executive satisfactory to and approved by him or her in writing, in
fulfillment of or in lieu of its obligations to him or her under this Agreement. 
 19. Amendments; Entire Agreement.
This Agreement may not be amended or modified orally, and no provision hereof may be waived, except in a writing signed by the parties hereto. This Agreement and the New Option Plan and, to the extent expressly provided herein, the Severance
Agreement (as modified herein), contain the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement and the New Option Plan, including without limitation the Prior Employment Agreement. 
 20. Assignment.

 20.1 Except as otherwise provided in Section 20.2, this Agreement cannot be assigned by either party hereto, except with
the written consent of the other. Any assignment of this Agreement by either party shall not relieve such party of its or his or her obligations hereunder. 
 20.2 The Company may elect to perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement through a subsidiary or affiliate, and if the Company so elects, Executive will be an employee of such subsidiary
or affiliate. Notwithstanding any such election, the Company’s obligations to Executive under this Agreement will continue in full force and effect as obligations of the Company, and the Company shall retain primary liability for their
performance. 
 21. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the personal
representatives and successors in interest of the Company. 
 22. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Nevada as to all matters, including but not limited to matters of validity, construction, effect and performance. 
 23. Jurisdiction. Any judicial proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement or any agreement identified herein may be brought only in state
or federal courts of the State of Nevada, and by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto accepts for themselves the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such
courts (and the appropriate appellate courts) in any such proceedings, waives any objection to venue laid therein and agrees to be bound by the judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement or any agreement identified herein.

 24. Notices. Any notice to be given hereunder by either party to the other may be effected by personal delivery, in
writing, or by mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid with return receipt requested. Mailed notices shall be addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth below, but each party may change his, her or its address by written notice in
accordance with this Section 24. Notices shall be deemed communicated as of the actual receipt or refusal of receipt.

        day of                 ,         . The Company and the Employee agree as follows:

 1. Employment Status. The Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective as
of            ,             (the “Separation Date”). 

2. Payment and Benefits. Upon the effectiveness of the terms set forth herein, the Company shall provide the Employee with all of
the applicable payments and benefits set forth in the Employment Agreement between the Company and the Employee, dated as of             ,
            (as amended from time to time, the “Employment Agreement”). 
 3. No Liability. This Release does not constitute an admission by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, trustees, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees, or
by the Employee, of any unlawful acts or of any violation of federal, state or local laws. 
 4. Release. In
consideration of the payments and benefits set forth in Section 9.1 (Termination Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason; Company Failure to Renew) of the Employment Agreement, the Employee for himself, his heirs, administrators,
representatives, executors, successors and assigns (collectively, “Employee Releasors”) does hereby irrevocably and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the Company and each of its subsidiaries, affiliates,
divisions, successors, assigns, trustees, officers, directors, partners, agents, and former and current employees, including without limitation all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with any of them, including without limitation the
Sponsors (as defined in the Management Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of January 28, 2008 as amended, among the Company, Employee and the other parties specified therein) (collectively, “Company Releasees”), and each of
them from any and all charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, remedies, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts and expenses (including attorneys’ fees

religion, disability age (including without limitation under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended by
the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Equal Pay Act of 1962, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) or any other unlawful criterion or circumstance, which Employee Releasors had, now have, or may have or claim to have in the future against
each or any of the Company Releasees by reason of any matter, cause or thing occurring, done or omitted to be done from the beginning of the world until the date of the execution of this Release; provided, however, that nothing herein

right to recover in any proceeding that the Employee may bring before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any state human rights commission or in any proceeding brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any state human
rights commission on the Employee’s behalf. In addition, this release is not intended to interfere with the Employee’s right to challenge that his waiver of any and all ADEA claims pursuant to this Release is a knowing and voluntary

 As of the Separation Date, Employee acknowledges and represents that Employee has not been either directly or indirectly involved in, witnessed or asked or directed to participate in any conduct that
could give rise to an allegation that the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates has violated any laws applicable to its businesses or that could otherwise be construed as inappropriate or unethical in any way, even if such conduct is not,
or does not appear to be, a violation of any law. Employee confirms that Employee has been given the opportunity to report such conduct to the Company and to third parties and that Employee has not made such report. Employee also confirms that
Employee has no charge, complaint or action against the Company or any Company Releasees in any forum or form.

subject of the release under Paragraph 4 of this Release (other than a claim brought under ADEA), this Release may be raised as a complete bar to any such action, claim or proceeding, and the applicable Company Releasee may recover from the Employee
all costs incurred in connection with such action, claim or proceeding, including attorneys’ fees.

understand it, and voluntarily accept its terms, and the Employee acknowledges that he has been advised by Company to seek the advice of legal counsel before entering into this Release, and has been provided with a period of twenty-one
(21) days in which to consider entering into this Release.

execution of this Release during which the Employee may revoke this Release, and this Release shall not become effective or enforceable until such revocation period has expired. If, within the ten (10) day period following such expiration,

 Exhibit C 
 EMPLOYEE’S AGREEMENT 
 (CONCERNING PROTECTED AND
CONFIDENTIAL 
 COMPANY INFORMATION AND MATERIALS) 

In consideration of, and as a condition precedent to, my employment and/or continued employment, with Caesars Entertainment Operating
Company, Inc., or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to jointly as the “Company”), and for other good and valuable consideration, including but not limited to any future, additional compensation, bonus, stock
options, 401(k) matching contributions and other benefits, I hereby specifically agree as follows: 
 1. I recognize that the
Company is engaged in the business of developing, owning and/or managing casinos and related hotels, as well as other gaming related activity. I understand that the Company has developed and is the owner of certain commercially valuable technical
and non-technical information, which is not public knowledge, which is a valuable asset essential to and used in the business of the Company. A non-exhaustive list of examples of such Confidential Information is: computer programs including software
related documentation, source codes, object codes, technical plans, processes, methods, practices, algorithms and the reports derived from such processes, manuals and databases; internal financial data; marketing programs, strategies and campaigns;
internal manuals; new product development plans and ideas; lists of customers, including those lists obtained and maintained by the Company during my employment; and designs, blueprints, architectural plans and engineering data. I acknowledge that
the Confidential Information is proprietary to the Company and that, as such, some of the information, including but not limited to that involving computer programs, is treated as a trade secret by the Company and is also protected by certain
copyright laws. I recognize and agree that the Company is engaged in a highly competitive industry and that the maintenance of the secret nature of this information is essential to preserving its value to the Company; that disclosure of any of this
information would be detrimental to and cause substantial harm to the Company; and that as I have or may have access to or be informed of such information during the course of my employment, that I am obligated to and will safeguard all such
information during my employment with the Company. I further agree that I will not duplicate, reverse engineer, alter, replicate or modify the Confidential Information or any part of the Confidential Information made available to me nor disclose to
any third party any Confidential Information. 
 2. In addition to the information developed and owned by the Company that is
confidential, I also understand that certain information received from third parties is also confidential and proprietary. Third parties may include, but not be limited to, any and all tribal entities, business enterprises, or other organizations or
individuals who have relationships with the Company. To this end, any information received by me from third parties during any furtherance of my obligations as an employee of the Company which concerns the personal, financial, or other affairs of
the third party will be treated in full confidence and will not be revealed to any other persons, firms, or organizations and shall be governed by this Agreement in the same manner as the Company’s confidential and proprietary information.








 3. I agree that any work, invention, innovation, idea or report that I produce in connection
with my work for the Company, or which results from or is suggested by the work I do for or on behalf of the Company is a “work for hire”, and will be the sole property of the Company. (Such work, inventions, innovations, ideas, and
reports are referred to as the “Work”.) The foregoing applies whether or not the Work was conceived or performed during Company hours or on Company equipment. I agree that I will execute all necessary documents or take other actions
necessary to assist the Company in obtaining patents, copyrights or other legal protection of the Work for the Company’s benefit (although the Work will be the exclusive property of the Company whether or not patented or copyrighted).

 4. I will not at any time, directly or indirectly, either during my employment or for two years thereafter, disclose to any
person, corporation or other entity which offers any product or service which is, in any way, in competition with any product or service offered by the Company, or use in competition with the Company, any of the Company’s confidential or
proprietary information, except on behalf of the Company, without first obtaining the Company’s written consent thereto, which consent can be given only by a duly authorized officer of the Company. 

5. Upon the termination of my employment for any reason whatsoever, I will promptly deliver to the Company all documents, computer
software, files, databases, drawings, prints, prototypes, models, manuals, letters, lists, notes, notebooks, reports and copies thereof, whether prepared by me or others, all other material of a secret, confidential or proprietary nature relating to
the Company’s business, and any other document relating or referring to such material. 
 6. If I am or become an employee
of the Company in Salary Grade 10 or above (manager or above), I recognize that both I and all others in Salary Grade 10 or above (manager or above) are key employees of the Company who have special and unique knowledge of the Company’s
operations and personnel and who, as a result of those and other factors, occupy positions of trust and responsibility which bring with them a special duty of care and loyalty to the Company. I recognize that the Company has substantial good will in
the casino gaming industry which reaches beyond the Company location at which I am currently employed. I also recognize that the Company has spent substantial time and has incurred substantial expense in maintaining and creating customer good will
among its manager-level employees; that the training, experience, skills and unique knowledge of the Company’s operation are an integral part of, and are necessary for, an efficient, profitable operation; and that, therefore, the Company has a
protectable business interest in maintaining these employees. I understand that my solicitation of any manager-level employee, with whom I have had a reporting relationship (up or down) or other direct contact or association while employed by the
Company or thereafter, for employment at a casino and/or related hotel which competes with the Company in the gaming business would cause detrimental and irreparable harm to the Company. Accordingly, neither during my employment with the Company nor
for eighteen (18) months following the cessation of that employment will I either directly or indirectly induce, persuade, solicit, or attempt to induce or persuade any Company employee in Salary Grade 10 or above (manager or above) as
described above in this paragraph to leave or abandon his/her employment with the Company for employment at a casino and/or related hotel which competes with the Company in the gaming business. I understand that such inducement, persuasion and/or
solicitation includes, but is not limited to, recommending that the manager-level employee contact any person affiliated with a competitor of the Company in the gaming business. 







 7. I understand and agree that a breach by me of any of the obligations set forth above will
cause the Company to suffer irreparable harm. Accordingly, I understand and agree that if I breach any of my obligations set forth above, the Company has the right to petition a court for, and to obtain therefrom, an injunction enjoining me from
breaching any such obligations. I further understand and agree that, to the extent that they can be proven by the Company, I will be liable for such monetary damages as a result from any breach by me of my obligations set forth above prior to such
breach being enjoined by the Company. 
 8. The Company’s rights and my obligations created by this Agreement are intended
to be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any obligation I may have, or right the Company may have, under otherwise applicable law. This Agreement replaces any prior “Employee’s Agreement (Concerning Protected and Confidential
Information and Materials).” Also, this Agreement and the obligations referred to herein are separate from and in addition to any other obligations I may have to the Company. I understand that I have an affirmative obligation to advise any
future employer of mine of the existence of this Agreement and to provide said employer with a copy of the Agreement; and that the Company may also advise and provide any future employer a copy of this Agreement. I specifically acknowledge that both
my obligations and the Company’s remedies hereunder are fair and reasonable. 
 9. If any provision of this Agreement is
held to be unenforceable, I understand and agree that such unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof and that the remainder of the Agreement shall be enforceable. I also agree that the Company may assign its rights under this
Agreement to any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate or to any successor entity that becomes my employer through any merger, spin-off, reorganization or restructuring. 
 10. I agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of
                    (where employed), and I hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
                    (where employed) in any action brought by the Company to enforce this Agreement. I further agree that I will pay all costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by the Company in enforcing any of my obligations under this Agreement.
