 (a) Employer and
Employee hereby covenant and agree that this Agreement may be subject to the approval of one or more gaming regulatory authorities (the “Gaming Authorities”) pursuant to the provisions of the applicable gaming regulatory statutes
and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Gaming Laws”). Employer and Employee hereby covenant and agree to use their best efforts, at Employer’s sole cost and expense, to obtain any and all approvals required by the
Gaming Laws. In the event that (i) an approval of this Agreement by the Gaming Authorities is required for Employee to carry out her duties and responsibilities set forth in Paragraph 4 of this Agreement, (ii) Employer and Employee have used their
best efforts to obtain such approval, and (iii) this Agreement is not so approved by the Gaming Authorities, then this Agreement shall immediately terminate and shall be null and void. 
  
 (b) Employer and Employee hereby covenant and agree that, in order for Employee to discharge the duties
required under this Agreement, Employee may be required to apply for or hold a license, registration, permit or other approval as issued by the Gaming Authorities pursuant to the terms of the applicable Gaming Laws and as otherwise required by this
Agreement (the “License”). In the event Employee fails to 

  

 11 








 
apply for and secure, or the Gaming Authorities refuse to issue or renew, or revoke or suspend any required License, then Employee, at Employer’s sole
cost and expense, shall promptly defend such action and shall take such reasonable steps as may be required to either remove the objections, secure the Gaming Authorities’ approval, or reinstate the License, respectively. The foregoing
notwithstanding, if the source of the objections or the Gaming Authorities’ refusal to renew the License or their imposition of disciplinary action against Employee is any of the events described in Subparagraph 1(c) of this Agreement, then
Employer’s obligations under this Paragraph 9 shall not be operative and Employee shall promptly reimburse Employer upon demand for any expenses incurred by Employer pursuant to this Paragraph 9. 
  
 (c) Employer and Employee hereby covenant and agree that the
provisions of this Paragraph 9 shall apply in the event Employee’s duties require that Employee also be licensed by such relevant governmental agencies other than the Gaming Authorities. 
  
 10. CONFIDENTIALITY. Employee hereby warrants, covenants
and agrees that, without the prior express written approval of Employer, Employee shall hold in the strictest confidence, and shall not disclose to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any and all of Employer’s confidential data,

Affiliates’ development, design, construction or sales and marketing methods or techniques, or (iii) Employer’s trade secrets and other “know-how” or information not of a public nature, regardless of how such information came to
the custody 

  

 12 








 
of Employee. For purposes of this Agreement, such confidential information shall include, but not be limited to, information, including a formula, pattern,
compilation, program, device, method, technique or process, that (a) derives independent economic value, present or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain
economic value from its disclosure or use, and (b) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. The warranty, covenant and agreement set forth in this Paragraph 10 shall not expire, shall survive
this Agreement and shall be binding upon Employee without regard to the passage of time or other events. 
  
 11. RESTRICTIVE COVENANT/NO SOLICITATION. 
  

(a) Employee hereby covenants and agrees that, during the remainder of the Term, notwithstanding a termination of this Agreement under
Paragraph 7, Employee shall not directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, consultant, partner, member of a limited liability company, shareholder of a closely held corporation, or shareholder in excess of two percent
(2%) of a publicly traded corporation, corporate officer or director, or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or otherwise participate in any manner or fashion in any gaming or hotel business that is in competition in any
manner whatsoever with the principal business activity of Employer or Employer’s Affiliates, in or about any market in which Employer or Employer’s Affiliates have or have publicly announced a plan for gaming or hotel operations. Employee
hereby further covenants and agrees that the restrictive covenant contained in this Paragraph 11 is reasonable as to duration, terms and geographical area and that the same protects the 

  

 13 








 
legitimate interests of Employer, imposes no undue hardship on Employee, and is not injurious to the public. 
  
 (b) Employee hereby further covenants and agrees that, for
the period described in Subparagraph 11(a), Employee shall not directly or indirectly, and Employee shall not suffer others to, solicit or attempt to solicit for employment any management level employee of Employer or Employer’s Affiliates with
or on behalf of any business that is in competition in any manner whatsoever with the principal business activity of Employer or Employer’s Affiliates, in or about any market in which Employer or Employer’s Affiliates have or plan gaming
or hotel operations.
