SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER LEASE
This SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER LEASE (the “Master Lease”) is entered into as of December 18, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and among GLP CAPITAL, L.P., a Pennsylvania limited partnership (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “Landlord”), TROPICANA ENTERTAINMENT INC., a Delaware corporation (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “TEI”), IOC BLACK HAWK COUNTY, INC., an Iowa corporation (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “Waterloo Operator”), and ISLE OF CAPRI BETTENDORF, L.C., an Iowa limited liability company (together with its permitted successors and assigns, “Bettendorf Operator” and, collectively with TEI and Waterloo Operator, “Tenant”).
RECITALS
A.On October 1, 2018, Landlord, Tropicana AC Sub Corp., as co-landlord, Tenant and Tropicana Atlantic City Corp., as co-tenant, entered into that certain Master Lease, as amended by that certain Partial Termination of and First Amendment to Master Lease, dated as of June 6, 2019 and as modified by that certain Waiver to Master Lease, dated as of March 31, 2020 (as so amended and modified, the “Original Master Lease”) pursuant to which Landlord leased the Leased Property to Tenant.
B.Landlord and Tenant amended and restated the Original Master Lease in its entirety pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Master Lease, dated as of June 15, 2020 (the “First A&R Master Lease”).
C.On September 4, 2020, pursuant to Section 22.7 of the First A&R Master Lease, Tenant delivered to Landlord a Replacement Property Transaction Notice exercising its Replacement Property Right to replace the facility commonly known as Tropicana Evansville in Evansville, Indiana (the “Evansville Facility”), together with all Leased Property (as defined in First A&R Master Lease) with respect thereto, under this Master Lease with the facilities commonly known as Isle Casino Hotel in Bettendorf, Iowa, together with all Leased Property with respect thereto (the “Bettendorf Facility”), and Isle Casino Hotel in Waterloo, Iowa, together with all Leased Property with respect thereto (the “Waterloo Facility” and, together with the Bettendorf Facility, the “Iowa Facilities”).
D.Landlord and Tenant hereby wish to amend and restate the First A&R Master Lease in its entirety pursuant to the terms hereof to reflect, among other items, the removal of the Evansville Facility therefrom and the addition of the Iowa Facilities thereto.
E.A list of the six (6) facilities covered by this Master Lease as of the Effective Date is attached hereto as Exhibit A (each a “Facility,” and collectively, the “Facilities”).
F.Capitalized terms used in this Master Lease and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Article II hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
1.1Leased Property. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord all of 


|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Landlord’s rights and interest in and to the following with respect to each of the Facilities (collectively, the “Leased Property”):
(a)the real property or properties described in Exhibit B attached hereto (collectively, the “Land”);
(b)all buildings, structures, barges, riverboats, Fixtures (as hereinafter defined) and other improvements of every kind now or hereafter located on the Land or connected thereto including, but not limited to, alleyways and connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines (on-site and off-site to the extent Landlord has obtained any interest in the same), parking areas and roadways appurtenant to such buildings and structures of each such Facility (collectively, the “Leased Improvements”);
(c)all easements, rights and appurtenances relating to the Land and the Leased Improvements; and
(d)all equipment, machinery, fixtures, and other items of property, including all components thereof, that (i) are now or hereafter located in, on or used in connection with and permanently affixed to or otherwise incorporated into the Leased Improvements and (ii) qualify as Long-Lived Assets, together with all replacements, modifications, alterations and additions thereto (collectively, the “Fixtures”).
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (a) Bettendorf Operator shall not acquire a leasehold interest through this Master Lease in any Facility or Leased Property, as applicable, leased to Tenant pursuant to this Master Lease other than the Bettendorf Facility and all Leased Property with respect thereto and (b) Waterloo Operator shall not acquire a leasehold interest through this Master Lease in any Facility or Leased Property, as applicable, leased to Tenant pursuant to this Master Lease other than the Waterloo Facility and all Leased Property with respect thereto.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (a) Bettendorf Operator holds the sole Gaming License for and shall be the sole operator of the Bettendorf Facility and TEI shall not operate the Bettendorf Facility unless and until it obtains the requisite Gaming License and complies with appropriate Gaming Regulations, and (b) Waterloo Operator holds the sole Gaming License for and shall be the sole operator of the Waterloo Facility and TEI shall not operate the Bettendorf Facility unless and until it obtains the requisite Gaming License and complies with appropriate Gaming Regulations.
The Leased Property is leased subject to all covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters affecting the Leased Property as of the Commencement Date and such subsequent covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters as may be agreed to by Landlord or Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Master Lease, whether or not of record, including any matters which would be disclosed by an inspection or accurate survey of the Leased Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Leased Property shall exclude those items referenced on Schedule 1.1. 
1.2Single, Indivisible Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Master Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the Leased Property and not separate leases governed by similar terms.  The Leased Property constitutes one economic unit, and the Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed to based on a demise of all of the Leased Property to Tenant as a single, composite, inseparable transaction and would have been substantially different had separate leases or a divisible lease been intended.  Except as expressly provided in this Master Lease for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated), all provisions of this Master Lease apply equally and uniformly to all of the Leased Property as one unit.  An Event of Default with respect to any portion of the Leased Property is an Event of Default as to all of the Leased Property.  The 
2
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






parties intend that the provisions of this Master Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property and, in particular but without limitation, that, for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Master Lease under 11 U.S.C. Section 365, or any successor or replacement thereof or any analogous state law, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease and executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit and that this Master Lease must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only as to all) of the Leased Property.  The parties may amend this Master Lease from time to time to include one or more additional Facilities as part of the Leased Property and such future addition to the Leased Property shall not in any way change the indivisible and nonseverable nature of this Master Lease and all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to apply in full force. 
1.3Term. The “Term” of this Master Lease is the Initial Term plus all Renewal Terms, to the extent exercised.  The initial term of this Master Lease (the “Initial Term”) commenced on October 1, 2018 (the “Commencement Date”) and shall end on the day immediately preceding the twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, subject to renewal as set forth in Section 1.4 below.
1.4Renewal Terms. The term of this Master Lease may be extended for four (4) separate “Renewal Terms” of five (5) years each if:  (a) at least twelve (12), but not more than eighteen (18) months prior to the end of the then current Term, Tenant delivers to Landlord a Notice that it desires to exercise its right to extend this Master Lease for one (1) Renewal Term (a “Renewal Notice”); and (b) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Landlord receives the Renewal Notice (the “Exercise Date”) or on the last day of the then current Term.  During any such Renewal Term, except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, all of the terms and conditions of this Master Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
Tenant may exercise such options to renew with respect to all (and no fewer than all) of the Facilities which are subject to this Master Lease as of the Exercise Date.
ARTICLE II
1.1Definitions. For all purposes of this Master Lease, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires, (i) the terms defined in this Article II have the meanings assigned to them in this Article and include the plural as well as the singular; (ii) all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with GAAP; (iii) all references in this Master Lease to designated “Articles,” “Sections” and other subdivisions are to the designated Articles, Sections and other subdivisions of this Master Lease; (iv) the word “including” shall have the same meaning as the phrase “including, without limitation,” and other similar phrases; (v) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Master Lease as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision; (vi) all Exhibits, Schedules and other attachments annexed to the body of this Master Lease are hereby deemed to be incorporated into and made an integral part of this Master Lease; (vii) the word “or” is not exclusive; and (viii) for the calculation of any financial ratios or tests referenced in this Master Lease (including the Adjusted Revenue to Rent Ratio and the Indebtedness to EBITDA Ratio), this Master Lease, regardless of its treatment under GAAP, shall be deemed to be an operating lease and the Rent payable hereunder shall be treated as an operating expense and shall not constitute Indebtedness or interest expense.
AAA:  As defined in Section 34.1(b).
3
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Accounts:  All accounts, including deposit accounts and any Facility Mortgage Reserve Account (to the extent actually funded by Tenant), all rents, profits, income, revenues or rights to payment or reimbursement derived from the use of any space within the Leased Property and/or from goods sold or leased or services rendered from the Leased Property (including, without limitation, from goods sold or leased or services rendered from the Leased Property by any subtenant) and all accounts receivable, in each case whether or not evidenced by a contract, document, instrument or chattel paper and whether or not earned by performance, including without limitation, the right to payment of management fees and all proceeds of the foregoing.
Additional Charges:  All Impositions and all other amounts, liabilities and obligations which Tenant assumes or agrees to pay under this Master Lease and, in the event of any failure on the part of Tenant to pay any of those items, except where such failure is due to the acts or omissions of Landlord, every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment of such items.
Adjusted Revenue:  For any Test Period, Net Revenue (i) minus expenses other than Specified Expenses and (ii) plus Specified Proceeds, if any; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating Adjusted Revenue, Net Revenue shall not include Gaming Revenues, Retail Sales or Promotional Allowances of any subtenants of Tenant or any deemed payments under subleases of this Master Lease, licenses or other access rights from Tenant to its operating subsidiaries.  Adjusted Revenue for the Leased Property shall be calculated on a pro forma basis to give effect to any increase or decrease in Rent as a result of the addition or removal of Leased Property to this Master Lease since the beginning of any Test Period of Tenant as if each such increase or decrease had been effected on the first day of such Test Period.  For purposes of calculating Adjusted Revenue to Rent Ratio, (a) subject to clause (b) below, if any Facility is closed to the public for more than fifteen (15) days as a result of an Unavoidable Delay during any fiscal quarter of any Test Period, then (i) the Adjusted Revenue attributable to such Facility in respect of such fiscal quarter shall be excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Revenue for such Test Period and (ii) the Adjusted Revenue attributable to such Facility during any fiscal quarters of such Test Period during which such Facility is not closed to the public for more than fifteen (15) days shall be annualized as follows for purposes of calculating Adjusted Revenue for such Test Period: (A) if such Facility is not closed to the public for more than fifteen (15) days in any of the remaining three (3) fiscal quarters of such Test Period, then the aggregate Adjusted Revenue attributable to such Facility for such quarters shall be multiplied by 4/3, (B) if such Facility is not closed to the public for more than fifteen (15) days in only two (2) fiscal quarters of such Test Period, then the aggregate Adjusted Revenue attributable to such Facility for such quarters shall be multiplied by 2 and (C) if such Facility is not closed to the public for more than fifteen (15) days in only one (1) fiscal quarter of such Test Period, then the Adjusted Revenue attributable to such Facility for such quarter shall be multiplied by 4 and (b) notwithstanding clause (a) above, for purposes of calculating the Adjusted Revenue from and after any Covenant Resumption Date, (i) the Adjusted Revenue for the Test Period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the Covenant Resumption Date occurs (the “Initial Test Period”) shall be deemed to be the Adjusted Revenue for the last fiscal quarter of the Initial Test Period, in each case, multiplied by 4, (ii) the Adjusted Revenue for the first Test Period ending after the Initial Test Period (the “Second Test Period”) shall be deemed to be the Adjusted Revenue for the last two fiscal quarters of the Second Test Period, in each case, multiplied by 2 and (iii) the Adjusted Revenue for the second Test Period ending after the Initial Test Period (the “Third Test Period”) shall be deemed to be the Adjusted Revenue for the last three fiscal quarters of the Third Test Period, in each case, multiplied by 4/3.
Adjusted Revenue Pool:  As of any date of determination, the aggregate amount of the Facility Adjusted Revenue of Tenant for all of the Facilities that are included in this Master Lease.
4
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Adjusted Revenue to Rent Ratio:  As at any date of determination, the ratio for any period of Adjusted Revenue to Rent.  For purposes of calculating the Adjusted Revenue to Rent Ratio, Adjusted Revenue shall be calculated on a pro forma basis (and shall be calculated to give effect to (x) pro forma adjustments reasonably contemplated by Tenant and (y) such other pro forma adjustments consistent with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act) to give effect to any material acquisitions and material asset sales consummated by the Tenant or any Guarantor during any Test Period of Tenant as if each such material acquisition had been effected on the first day of such Test Period and as if each such material asset sale had been consummated on the day prior to the first day of such Test Period.  In addition, (i) Adjusted Revenue and Rent shall be calculated on a pro forma basis to give effect to any increase or decrease in Rent as a result of the addition or removal of Leased Property to this Master Lease during any Test Period as if such increase or decrease had been effected on the first day of such Test Period and (ii) in the event Rent is to be increased in connection with the addition or inclusion of a Long-Lived Asset that is projected to increase Adjusted Revenue, such Rent increase shall not be taken into account in calculating the Adjusted Revenue to Rent Ratio until the first fiscal quarter following the completion of the installation or construction of such Long-Lived Assets.
Affiliate:  When used with respect to any corporation, limited liability company, or partnership, the term “Affiliate” shall mean any person which, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such corporation, limited liability company or partnership.  For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including the correlative meanings of the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as used with respect to any Person, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, through the ownership of voting securities, partnership interests or other equity interests.

ARTICLE III
1.1Rent. During the Term, Tenant will pay to Landlord the Rent and Additional Charges in lawful money of the United States of America and legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in the manner provided in Section 3.3.  The Rent during any Lease Year is payable in advance in consecutive monthly installments on the fifth (5th) Business Day of each calendar month during that Lease Year.  Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Rent and Additional Charges shall be prorated as to any partial months at the beginning and end of the Term.  The parties will agree on an allocation of the Rent on a declining basis for federal income tax purposes within the 115/85 safe harbor of Section 467 of the Code, assuming a projected schedule of Rent for this purpose.
1.2Late Payment of Rent. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of which is presently anticipated to be extremely difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, if any installment of Rent other than Additional Charges payable to a Person other than Landlord shall not be paid within five (5) days after its due date, Tenant will pay Landlord on demand a late charge equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the amount of such installment or (b) the maximum amount permitted by law; provided, however, that in no event shall any late charge be assessed on the full amount of Rent due pursuant to Section 16.3.  The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant.  The parties further agree that such late charge is Rent and not interest and such assessment does not constitute a lender or borrower/creditor relationship between Landlord and Tenant.  Thereafter, if any installment of Rent other than Additional Charges payable to a Person other than Landlord shall not be paid within ten (10) days after its due date, the amount unpaid, including any late charges previously accrued, shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the due date of such installment to the date of payment thereof, and Tenant shall pay such interest to Landlord on demand.  The payment of such late charge or such interest shall not constitute waiver of, nor excuse or cure, any default under this Master Lease, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Landlord.
1.3Method of Payment of Rent. Rent and Additional Charges to be paid to Landlord shall be paid by electronic funds transfer debit transactions through wire transfer of immediately available funds and shall be initiated by Tenant for settlement on or before the Payment Date; provided, however, if the Payment Date is not a Business Day, then settlement shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with appropriate wire transfer information in a Notice from Landlord to Tenant.  If Landlord directs Tenant to pay any Rent to any party other than Landlord, Tenant shall send to Landlord simultaneously with such payment, a copy of the transmittal letter or invoice and a check whereby such payment is made or such other evidence of payment as Landlord may reasonably require.
1.4Net Lease. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (i) this Master Lease is and is intended to be what is commonly referred to as a “net, net, net” or “triple net” lease, and (ii) the Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Landlord, so that this Master Lease shall yield to Landlord the full amount or benefit of the installments of Rent and Additional Charges throughout the Term with respect to each Facility, all as more fully set forth in Article IV and subject to any other provisions of this Master Lease which expressly provide for adjustment or abatement of Rent or other charges.  If Landlord commences any proceedings for non-payment of Rent, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim or cross complaint or similar pleading of any nature or description in such proceedings unless Tenant would lose or waive such claim by the failure to assert it.  This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to assert such claims in a separate action brought by Tenant.  The covenants to pay 
25
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Rent and other amounts hereunder are independent covenants, and Tenant shall have no right to hold back, offset or fail to pay any such amounts for default by Landlord or for any other reason whatsoever, except as provided in Section 3.1.
ARTICLE IV
1.1Impositions. Subject to Article XII relating to permitted contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for non-payment.  Tenant shall make such payments directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and promptly furnish to Landlord copies of official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments.  Tenant’s obligation to pay Impositions shall be absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property or any part thereof subject to Article XII.  If any Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments, whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, Tenant may pay the same, and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments as the same respectively become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further interest or cost may be added thereto.  For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of all Impositions that are due and payable as of the Commencement Date (regardless as to whether such Impositions are attributable to a period preceding the Commencement Date).
(b)Landlord or GLP shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal Requirements with respect to Landlord’s net income, gross receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock and any other returns required to be filed by or in the name of Landlord (the “Landlord Tax Returns”), and Tenant or Tenant’s Parent shall prepare and file all other tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal Requirements with respect to or relating to the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements), and Tenant’s Property.
(c)Any refund due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of Tenant or Tenant’s Affiliates, including prior to the merger effected pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant.
(d)Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required returns and reports.  If any property covered by this Master Lease is classified as personal property for tax purposes, Tenant shall file all personal property tax returns in such jurisdictions where it must legally so file.  Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, shall provide the other party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property so classified as personal property.  Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Tenant shall be provided with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest.
(e)Billings for reimbursement by Tenant to Landlord of personal property or real property taxes and any taxes due under the Landlord Tax Returns, if and to the extent Tenant is responsible for such taxes under the terms of this Section 4.1, shall be accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify the personal property or real property or other tax obligations of Landlord with respect to which such payments are made.
(f)Impositions imposed or assessed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates shall be adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant, whether or not such Imposition is imposed or assessed before or after such termination, and Tenant’s 
26
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






obligation to pay its prorated share thereof in respect of a tax-fiscal period during the Term shall survive such termination.  Landlord will not voluntarily enter into agreements that will result in additional Impositions without Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that it shall not be reasonable to withhold consent to customary additional Impositions that other property owners of properties similar to the Leased Property customarily consent to in the ordinary course of business); provided Tenant is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement.
1.2Utilities. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements).  Tenant shall also pay or reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever which at any time with respect to the Term hereof with respect to any Facility may be imposed against Landlord by reason of any of the covenants, conditions and/or restrictions affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or with respect to easements, licenses or other rights over, across or with respect to any adjacent or other property which benefits the Leased Property or any Capital Improvement, including any and all costs and expenses associated with any utility, drainage and parking easements.  Landlord will not enter into agreements that will encumber the Leased Property without Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that it shall not be reasonable to withhold consent to encumbrances that do not adversely affect the use or future development of the Facility as a Gaming Facility or increase Additional Charges payable under this Master Lease); provided Tenant is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement.  Tenant will not enter into agreements that will encumber the Leased Property after the expiration of the Term without Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that it shall not be reasonable to withhold consent to encumbrances that do not adversely affect the value of the Leased Property or the Facility); provided Landlord is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement.
1.3Impound Account. At Landlord’s option following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or a default by Tenant of Section 23.3(b) hereof (to be exercised by thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant); and provided Tenant is not already being required to impound such payments in accordance with the requirements of Section 31.3(b) below, Tenant shall be required to deposit, at the time of any payment of Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the sum of (i) Tenant’s estimated annual real and personal property taxes required pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord), and (ii) Tenant’s estimated annual maintenance expenses and insurance premium costs pursuant to Articles IX and XIII hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord).  Such amounts shall be applied to the payment of the obligations in respect of which said amounts were deposited in such order of priority as Landlord shall reasonably determine, on or before the respective dates on which the same or any of them would become delinquent.  Such amount shall be deposited in an interest-bearing segregated account with a banking institution and the reasonable cost of such bank for administering such impound account shall be paid by Tenant.  Nothing in this Section 4.3 shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Landlord hereunder.
ARTICLE V
1.1No Termination, Abatement, etc. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Master Lease, Tenant shall remain bound by this Master Lease in accordance with its terms and shall not seek or be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of Rent, or set-off against the Rent.  Except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Master Lease, the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall not be affected by reason of (i) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property or any portion thereof from whatever cause or any Condemnation of the Leased Property, any Capital Improvement or any 
27
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






portion thereof; (ii) other than as a result of Landlord’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the Leased Property, any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof, the interference with such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (iii) any claim that Tenant has or might have against Landlord by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Landlord hereunder or under any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (iv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, consolidation, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (v) for any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, other than a discharge of Tenant from any such obligations as a matter of law.  Tenant hereby specifically waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law (a) to modify, surrender or terminate this Master Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or (b) which may entitle Tenant to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder except in each case as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Master Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article V shall preclude Tenant from bringing a separate action against Landlord for any matter described in the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) or (v) and Tenant is not waiving other rights and remedies not expressly waived herein.  The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Master Lease or by termination of this Master Lease as to all or any portion of the Leased Property other than by reason of an Event of Default.  Tenant’s agreement that, except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Master Lease, any eviction by paramount title as described in item (ii) above shall not affect Tenant’s obligations under this Master Lease, shall not in any way discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other insurance and, to the extent the recovery thereof is not necessary to compensate Landlord for any damages incurred by any such eviction, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for any sums recovered by Landlord under any such policy of title or other insurance up to the maximum amount paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 5.1, and Landlord, upon request by Tenant, shall assign Landlord’s rights under such policies to Tenant; provided that such assignment does not adversely affect Landlord’s rights under any such policy and provided further, that Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such assignment except to the extent such liability, cost or expense arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
ARTICLE VI
1.1Ownership of the Leased Property. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that they have executed and delivered this Master Lease with the understanding that (i) the Leased Property is the property of Landlord, (ii) Tenant has only the right to the possession and use of the Leased Property upon the terms and conditions of this Master Lease, (iii) this Master Lease is a “true lease,” is not a financing lease, capital lease, mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, trust agreement, security agreement or other financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this Master Lease are those of a true lease, (iv) the business relationship created by this Master Lease and any related documents is and at all times shall remain that of landlord and tenant, (v) this Master Lease has been entered into by each party in reliance upon the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein, and (vi) none of the agreements contained herein is intended, nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership between Landlord and Tenant, to make them joint venturers, to make Tenant an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary or employee of Landlord, or to make Landlord in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or losses of Tenant.
28
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






(b)Each of the parties hereto covenants and agrees, subject to Section 6.1(c), not to (i) file any income tax return or other associated documents; (ii) file any other document with or submit any document to any governmental body or authority; (iii) enter into any written contractual arrangement with any Person; or (iv) release any financial statements of Tenant, in each case that takes a position other than that this Master Lease is a “true lease” with Landlord as owner of the Leased Property and Tenant as the tenant of the Leased Property, including (x) treating Landlord as the owner of such Leased Property eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 or 168 of the Code with respect to such Leased Property, (y) Tenant reporting its Rent payments as rent expense under Section 162 of the Code, and (z) Landlord reporting the Rent payments as rental income under Section 61 of the Code, in each case except as otherwise required by a change in law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or similar provision of state or local law).
(c)If Tenant should reasonably conclude that GAAP or the SEC require treatment different from that set forth in Section 6.1(b) for applicable non-tax purposes, then (x) Tenant shall promptly give prior Notice to Landlord, accompanied by a written statement that references the applicable pronouncement that controls such treatment and contains a brief description and/or analysis that sets forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which Tenant reached such conclusion, and (y) notwithstanding Section 6.1(b), Tenant may comply with such requirements.
(d)The Rent is the fair market rent for the use of the Leased Property and was agreed to by Landlord and Tenant on that basis, and the execution and delivery of, and the performance by Tenant of its obligations under, this Master Lease does not constitute a transfer of all or any part of the Leased Property.
(e)Tenant waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization of this Master Lease as anything other than a true lease and as a master lease of all of the Leased Property.  Tenant stipulates and agrees (1) not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of the lease of the Leased Property as a true lease and/or as a single, unseverable instrument pertaining to the lease of all, but not less than all, of the Leased Property, and (2) not to assert or take or omit to take any action inconsistent with the agreements and understandings set forth in Section 3.4 or this Section 6.1, in each case except as otherwise required by a change in law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or similar provision of state or local law).
1.2Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall, during the entire Term, own (or lease) and maintain (or cause its Subsidiaries to own (or lease) and maintain) on the Leased Property adequate and sufficient Tenant’s Property, and shall maintain (or cause its Subsidiaries to maintain) all of such Tenant’s Property in good order, condition and repair, in all cases as shall be necessary and appropriate in order to operate the Facilities for the Primary Intended Use in compliance with all applicable licensure and certification requirements and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and Gaming Regulations.  If any of Tenant’s Property requires replacement in order to comply with the foregoing, Tenant shall replace (or cause a Subsidiary to replace) it with similar property of the same or better quality at Tenant’s (or such Subsidiary’s) sole cost and expense.  Subject to the foregoing, Tenant and its Subsidiaries may sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of Tenant’s Property (other than Gaming Licenses and subject to Section 6.3) in their discretion in the ordinary course of its business and Landlord shall have no rights to such Tenant’s Property.  Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, from time to time but not more frequently than one time per Lease Year, 
29
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






provide Landlord with a list of the material Tenant’s Property located at each of the Facilities.  In the case of any such Tenant’s Property that is leased (rather than owned) by Tenant (or its Subsidiaries), Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the lease agreements pursuant to which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) leases such Tenant’s Property are assignable to third parties in connection with any transfer by Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) to a replacement lessee or operator at the end of the Term.  Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property from the Leased Property at the end of the Term, except to the extent Tenant has transferred ownership of such Tenant’s Property to a Successor Tenant or Landlord.  Any Tenant’s Property left on the Leased Property at the end of the Term whose ownership was not transferred to a Successor Tenant shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and shall become the property of Landlord.
1.3Guarantors; Tenant’s Property. Each of Tenant’s Parent and each of Tenant’s Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 6.3 shall be a Guarantor under this Master Lease and shall execute and deliver to the Landlord the Guaranty attached hereto as Exhibit D.  In addition, if any material Gaming License or other license or other material asset necessary to operate any portion of the Leased Property is owned by a Subsidiary, Tenant shall within two (2) Business Days after the date such Subsidiary acquires such Gaming License, other license or other material asset, (a) notify the Landlord thereof and (b) cause such Subsidiary (if it is not already a Guarantor) to become a Guarantor by executing the Guaranty in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
ARTICLE VII
1.1Condition of the Leased Property. Tenant acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property and confirms that Tenant has examined and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property prior to the execution and delivery of this Master Lease and has found the same (except as included in the disclosures on Schedule A) to be in good order and repair and, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, free from Hazardous Substances not in compliance with Legal Requirements and satisfactory for its purposes hereunder.  Regardless, however, of any examination or inspection made by Tenant and whether or not any patent or latent defect or condition was revealed or discovered thereby, Tenant is leasing the Leased Property “as is” in its present condition.  Subject to Section 32.6, Tenant waives any claim or action against Landlord in respect of the condition of the Leased Property including any defects or adverse conditions not discovered or otherwise known by Tenant as of the Commencement Date.  LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, OR AS TO THE NATURE OR QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, OR THE EXISTENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE ON THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS, LATENT OR PATENT, ARE TO BE BORNE SOLELY BY TENANT INCLUDING ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR ANY REMEDIATION AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 32.6 HEREOF.
1.2Use of the Leased Property. Tenant shall use or cause to be used the Leased Property and the improvements thereon of each Facility for its Primary Intended Use.  Tenant shall not use the Leased Property or any portion thereof or any Capital Improvement thereto for any other use without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion.  Landlord acknowledges that operation of each Facility for its Primary Intended Use generally requires a Gaming License under applicable Gaming 
30
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Regulations and that without such a license neither Landlord nor GLP may operate, control or participate in the conduct of the gaming and/or racing operations at the Facilities.
(b)Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste on the Leased Property (including any Capital Improvement thereto) or cause or permit any nuisance thereon or to, except as required by law, take or suffer any action or condition that will diminish the ability of the Leased Property to be used as a Gaming Facility after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
(c)Tenant shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased Property or any portion thereof to be used in such a manner as (i) might reasonably tend to impair Landlord’s title thereto or to any portion thereof or (ii) may make possible a claim of adverse use or possession, or an implied dedication of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
(d)Tenant shall continuously operate each Facility for the Primary Intended Use (except as a result of casualty, condemnation or Unavoidable Delay that affects such Facility).  Tenant in its discretion shall be permitted to cease operations at a Facility or Facilities if such cessation would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Tenant, the Facilities, or on the Leased Property, taken as a whole, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing immediately prior to or immediately after the date that operations are ceased or as a result of such cessation.
1.3Competing Business.
(a)Tenant’s Obligations for Greenfields.  Tenant agrees that during the Term, neither Tenant nor any of its Affiliates shall (i) build or otherwise participate in the development of a new Gaming Facility  (including a facility that has been shut down for a period of more than twelve (12) months) located within a Restricted Area of a Facility (a “Greenfield Project”) or (ii) acquire or operate any Competing Facility, unless Tenant shall first offer Landlord the opportunity to include the Greenfield Project or the Competing Facility, as the case may be, as a Leased Property under this Master Lease on terms to be negotiated by the parties (which terms with respect to Landlord funding the development of any such Greenfield Project shall include the terms set forth in Section 10.3 hereof regarding Capital Improvements).  Within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of notice from Tenant providing the opportunity to fund and include as Leased Property under this Master Lease a Greenfield Project or a Competing Facility, as the case may be, on terms to be negotiated by the parties, Landlord shall notify Tenant as to whether it intends to participate in such Greenfield Project or acquire such Competing Facility, as applicable, and, if Landlord indicates such intent, the parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions upon which this would be effected, including the terms of any amendment to this Master Lease and any development, funding or purchase agreement, which Landlord might require.  Should Landlord notify Tenant that it does not intend to pursue such Greenfield Project or Competing Facility (or should Landlord decline to notify Tenant of its affirmative response within such thirty (30) day period), or if the parties despite good faith efforts on both sides fail to reach agreement on the terms under which such opportunity would be jointly pursued under this Master Lease and such new Greenfield Project or Competing Facility, would become a portion of the Leased Property hereunder, in any event, within forty-five (45) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant of Landlord’s intent to participate in such Greenfield Project or Competing Facility, then Tenant shall have no further obligation to Landlord with respect to, and may pursue, such Greenfield Project or Competing Facility, as applicable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3(a), Tenant and its Affiliates shall not be restricted under this Section 7.3(a) from expanding any Facility under this Master Lease (subject to Tenant’s compliance with the terms of Section 10.3 and the other provisions of Article X).
31
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






(b)Landlord’s Obligations for Greenfields.  Landlord agrees that during the Term, neither Landlord nor any of its Affiliates shall, without the prior written consent of the Tenant (which consent may be withheld in Tenant’s sole discretion), build or otherwise participate in the development of a Greenfield Project within the Restricted Area.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3(b), (i) Landlord and its Affiliates shall not be restricted under this Section 7.3(b) from acquiring, financing or providing refinancing for any facility that is in operation or has been in operation at any time during the twelve month period prior to the time in question, and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 7.3(d) hereof, Landlord and its Affiliates shall not be restricted under this Section 7.3(b) from expanding any Competing Facility existing at the time in question.
(c)Tenant’s Rights Regarding Facility Expansions.  Tenant shall be permitted to construct Capital Improvements in accordance with the terms of Article X hereof.
(d)Landlord’s Rights Regarding Facility Expansions.  Landlord shall be permitted to finance expansions of any Competing Facility within the Restricted Area that is already in existence at any time in question.
(e)Landlord’s Rights to Acquire or Finance Existing Facilities.  Landlord shall not be restricted under this Section 7.3 from acquiring or providing any kind of financing or refinancing to any Competing Facility within the Restricted Area that is already in existence at any time in question.
(f)No Restrictions Outside of Restricted Area.  Each of Landlord and Tenant shall not be restricted from participating in opportunities, including, without limitation, developing, building, purchasing or operating Gaming Facilities, outside the Restricted Area at any time.
ARTICLE VIII
1.1Representations and Warranties. Each party represents and warrants to the other that:  (i) this Master Lease and all other documents executed or to be executed by it in connection herewith have been duly authorized and shall be binding upon it; (ii) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation and is duly authorized and qualified to perform this Master Lease within the State(s) where any portion of the Leased Property is located; and (iii) neither this Master Lease nor any other document executed or to be executed in connection herewith violates the terms of any other agreement of such party.  
1.2Compliance with Legal and Insurance Requirements, etc. Subject to Article XII regarding permitted contests, Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly (a) comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements regarding the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements thereto) and Tenant’s Property whether or not compliance therewith may require structural changes in any of the Leased Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Leased Property, and (b) procure, maintain and comply in all material respects with all Gaming Regulations and Gaming Licenses, and other authorizations required for the use of the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property for the applicable Primary Intended Use and any other use of the Leased Property (including Capital Improvements then being made) and Tenant’s Property, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Property and Tenant’s Property.  In an emergency or in the event of a breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Section 8.2 which is not cured within any 
32
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






applicable cure period, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, enter upon the Leased Property and take such reasonable actions and incur such reasonable costs and expenses to effect such compliance as it deems advisable to protect its interest in the Leased Property, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such actions.  Tenant covenants and agrees that the Leased Property and Tenant’s Property shall not be used for any unlawful purpose.  In the event that a regulatory agency, commission, board or other governmental body notifies Tenant that it is in jeopardy of losing a Gaming License material to the continued operation of a Facility, and, assuming no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall be given reasonable time to address the regulatory issue, after which period (but in all events prior to an actual revocation of such Gaming License) Tenant shall be required to sell (i) if permitted by applicable law, the Gaming License, and to the extent such sale is not permitted by applicable law Tenant shall use reasonable best efforts to transfer the applicable Gaming License or to cause the issuance of a new or replacement Gaming License, pursuant to the procedures permitted by applicable state law, and (ii) Tenant’s Property related to such Facility to a successor operator of such Facility determined by Landlord choosing one and Tenant choosing three (for a total of four) potential operators and Landlord indicating the reasonable, market terms under which it would agree to lease such Facility to such potential operators, which in Landlord’s reasonable discretion may contain reasonable variations in terms to the extent required to account for credit quality differences among the potential operators (e.g., Landlord may require different letter of credit terms and amounts, but may not set different rent terms).  Tenant will then be entitled to auction off Tenant’s Property relating to such Facility and Landlord will thereafter be entitled to lease the Facility to the potential successor that is the successful bidder.  In the event of a new lease from Landlord to the successor, the Leased Property relating to such Facility shall be severed from the Leased Property hereunder and thereafter Rent shall be reduced based on the formula set forth in Section 14.6 hereof.  Landlord shall comply with any Gaming Regulations or other regulatory requirements required of it as owner of the Facilities taking into account its Primary Intended Use (except to the extent Tenant fulfills or is required to fulfill any such requirements hereunder).  In the event that a regulatory agency, commission, board or other governmental body notifies Landlord that it is in jeopardy of failing to comply with any such Gaming Regulation or other regulatory requirements material to the continued operation of a Facility for its Primary Intended Use, Landlord shall be given reasonable time to address the regulatory issue, after which period (but in all events prior to an actual cessation of the use of the Facility for its Primary Intended Use as a result of the failure by Landlord to comply with such regulatory requirements) Landlord shall be required to sell the Leased Property relating to such Facility to the highest bidder (and Tenant shall be entitled to be one of the bidders) who would agree to lease such Facility to Tenant on terms substantially the same as the terms hereof (including rent calculated in the manner provided pursuant to Section 14.6 hereof, an identical amount of which, after the effective time of such sale, shall be credited against Rent hereunder); provided that if Tenant is the bidder it shall not be required to agree to lease the Facility, but if it is the winning bidder shall be entitled to a credit against the Rent hereunder calculated in the manner provided pursuant to Section 14.6.  In the event during the period in which Landlord conducts such auction such regulatory agency notifies Landlord and Tenant that Tenant may not pay any portion of the Rent to Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to fund such amount into an escrow account, to be released to Landlord or the party legally entitled thereto at or upon resolution of such regulatory issues and otherwise on terms reasonably satisfactory to the parties.  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no transfer of Tenant’s Property used in the conduct of gaming (including the purported or attempted transfer of a Gaming License) or the operation of a Gaming Facility for its Primary Intended Use shall be effected or permitted without receipt of all necessary approvals and/or Gaming Licenses in accordance with applicable Gaming Regulations.
1.3Zoning and Uses. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld unless the action for which consent is sought could adversely 
33
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






affect the Primary Intended Use of a Facility (in which event Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion), Tenant shall not (i) initiate or support any limiting change in the permitted uses of the Leased Property (or to the extent applicable, limiting zoning reclassification of the Leased Property); (ii) seek any variance under existing land use restrictions, laws, rules or regulations (or, to the extent applicable, zoning ordinances) applicable to the Leased Property or use or permit the use of the Leased Property; (iii) impose or permit or suffer the imposition of any restrictive covenants, easements or encumbrances (other than Permitted Leasehold Mortgages) upon the Leased Property in any manner that adversely affects in any material respect the value or utility of the Leased Property; (iv) execute or file any subdivision plat affecting the Leased Property, or institute, or permit the institution of, proceedings to alter any tax lot comprising the Leased Property; or (v) permit or suffer the Leased Property to be used by the public or any Person in such manner as might make possible a claim of adverse usage or possession or of any implied dedication or easement (provided that the proscription in this clause (v) is not intended to and shall not restrict Tenant in any way from complying with any obligation it may have under applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, Gaming Regulations, to afford to the public access to the Leased Property).
1.4Compliance with Ground Lease.
(a)This Master Lease, to the extent affecting and solely with respect to the Ground Leased Property, is and shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of the Ground Lease.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant has reviewed and agreed to all of the terms and conditions of the Ground Lease.  Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant shall not do, or fail to do, anything that would cause any violation of the Ground Lease.  Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand as an Additional Charge hereunder all rent required to be paid by, and other monetary obligations of, Landlord as tenant under the Ground Lease (and, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall make such payments directly to the Ground Lessor); provided, however, such Additional Charges payable by Tenant shall exclude any additional costs under the Ground Lease which are caused solely by Landlord after the Commencement Date without consent or fault of or omission by Tenant, (ii) to the extent Landlord is required to obtain the written consent of the lessor under the Ground Lease (the “Ground Lessor”) to alterations of or the subleasing of all or any portion of the Ground Leased Property pursuant to the Ground Lease, Tenant shall likewise obtain Ground Lessor’s written consent to alterations of or the subleasing of all or any portion of the Ground Leased Property (and Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to submit such requests to Ground Lessor and cooperate, at no cost or expense to Landlord, with the reasonable requests of Tenant and Ground Lessor to facilitate such requests), and (iii) Tenant shall carry and maintain general liability, automobile liability, property and casualty, worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance in amounts and with policy provisions, coverages and certificates as required of Landlord as tenant under the Ground Lease.
(b)In the event of cancellation or termination of the Ground Lease for any reason whatsoever whether voluntary or involuntary (by operation of law or otherwise) prior to the expiration date of this Master Lease, including extensions and renewals granted thereunder, then, at Ground Lessor’s option, Tenant shall make full and complete attornment to Ground Lessor with respect to the obligations of Landlord to Ground Lessor in connection with the Ground Leased Property for the balance of the term of the Ground Lease (notwithstanding that this Master Lease shall have expired with respect to the Ground Leased Property as a result of the cancellation or termination of the Ground Lease).  Tenant’s attornment shall be evidenced by a written agreement which shall provide that the Tenant is in direct privity of contract with Ground Lessor (i.e., that all obligations previously owed to Landlord under this Master Lease with respect to the Ground Lease or the Ground Leased Property shall be obligations owed to Ground Lessor for the balance of the term of this Master Lease, notwithstanding that this Master Lease shall have expired with respect to the Ground Leased Property as a result of the 
34
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






cancellation or termination of the Ground Lease) and which shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Ground Lessor.  Tenant shall execute and deliver such written attornment within thirty (30) days after request by Ground Lessor.  Unless and until such time as an attornment agreement is executed by Tenant pursuant to this Section 8.4(b), nothing contained in this Master Lease shall create, or be construed as creating, any privity of contract or privity of estate between Ground Lessor and Tenant.
(c)Nothing contained in this Master Lease amends, or shall be construed to amend, any provision of the Ground Lease.
ARTICLE IX
1.1Maintenance and Repair. Tenant, at its expense and without the prior consent of Landlord, shall maintain the Leased Property and Tenant’s Property, and every portion thereof, and all private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant to the Leased Property, and which are under Tenant’s control in good order and repair whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Tenant’s use, any prior use, the elements or the age of the Leased Property and Tenant’s Property, and, with reasonable promptness, make all reasonably necessary and appropriate repairs thereto of every kind and nature, including those necessary to ensure continuing compliance with all Legal Requirements, whether interior or exterior, structural or non-structural, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising by reason of a condition existing prior to the Commencement Date.  All repairs shall be at least equivalent in quality to the original work.  Tenant will not take or omit to take any action the taking or omission of which would reasonably be expected to materially impair the value or the usefulness of the Leased Property or any part thereof or any Capital Improvement thereto for its Primary Intended Use.
(b)Landlord shall not under any circumstances be required to (i) build or rebuild any improvements on the Leased Property; (ii) make any repairs, replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, structural or non-structural, foreseen or unforeseen, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto; or (iii) maintain the Leased Property in any way.  Tenant hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord pursuant to any law in effect at the time of the execution of this Master Lease or hereafter enacted.
(c)Nothing contained in this Master Lease and no action or inaction by Landlord shall be construed as (i) constituting the consent or request of Landlord, expressed or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to or for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Leased Property or any part thereof or any Capital Improvement thereto; or (ii) giving Tenant any right, power or permission to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Landlord in respect thereof or to make any agreement that may create, or in any way be the basis for, any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance upon the estate of Landlord in the Leased Property, or any portion thereof or upon the estate of Landlord in any Capital Improvement thereto.
(d)Tenant shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, vacate and surrender the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements, subject to the provisions of Article X), in each case with respect to such Facility, to Landlord in the condition in which such Leased Property was originally received from Landlord and Capital Improvements were 
35
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






originally introduced to such Facility, except as repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the provisions of this Master Lease (including Section 14.2 and 15.1) and except for ordinary wear and tear.
(e)Without limiting Tenant’s obligations to maintain the Leased Property and Tenant’s Property under this Master Lease, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar year (commencing with the calendar year ending December 31, 2018), Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence satisfactory to Landlord in the reasonable exercise of Landlord’s discretion that Tenant has in such calendar year spent, with respect to the Leased Property and Tenant’s Property, an aggregate amount equal to at least 1% of its actual Net Revenue from the Facilities for such calendar year on installation or restoration and repair or other improvement of items, which installations, restorations and repairs and other improvements are capitalized in accordance with GAAP with an expected life of not less than three (3) years; provided that, in the event an Unavoidable Delay occurs during the time during which Tenant is required to make the foregoing expenditures and such Unavoidable Delay actually prevents or delays Tenant’s performance of such installations, restorations, repairs or other improvements, then the relevant period in which Tenant was obligated to perform such installations, restorations, repairs or other improvements shall be extended, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay actually delayed Tenant’s ability to perform such installations, restorations, repairs or other improvements; provided, further, that with respect to the installations, restorations, repairs or other improvements required to be made during the calendar year ending December 31, 2020, Tenant shall be required to make such installations, restorations, repairs or other improvements no later than June 30, 2021.  If Tenant fails to make at least the above amount of capital expenditures and fails within sixty (60) days after receipt of a written demand from Landlord to either (i) cure such deficiency or (ii) obtain Landlord’s written approval, in its reasonable discretion, of a repair and maintenance program satisfactory to cure such deficiency, then the same shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder.
1.2Encroachments, Restrictions, Mineral Leases, etc. If any of the Leased Improvements shall, at any time, encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way, or shall violate any restrictive covenant or other agreement affecting the Leased Property, or any part thereof or any Capital Improvement thereto, or shall impair the rights of others under any easement or right-of-way to which the Leased Property is subject, or the use of the Leased Property or any Capital Improvement thereto is impaired, limited or interfered with by reason of the exercise of the right of surface entry or any other provision of a lease or reservation of any oil, gas, water or other minerals, then promptly upon the request of Landlord or any Person affected by any such encroachment, violation or impairment, each of Tenant and Landlord, subject to their right to contest the existence of any such encroachment, violation or impairment, shall protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend the other party hereto from and against fifty percent (50%) of all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses) based on or arising by reason of any such encroachment, violation or impairment.  In the event of an adverse final determination with respect to any such encroachment, violation or impairment, either (a) each of Tenant and Landlord shall be entitled to obtain valid and effective waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting from each such encroachment, violation or impairment, whether the same shall affect Landlord or Tenant or (b) Tenant at the shared cost and expense of Tenant and Landlord on a 50-50 basis shall make such changes in the Leased Improvements, and take such other actions, as Tenant in the good faith exercise of its judgment deems reasonably practicable, to remove such encroachment or to end such violation or impairment, including, if necessary, the alteration of any of the Leased Improvements, and in any event take all such actions as may be necessary in order to be able to continue the operation of the Leased Improvements for the Primary Intended Use substantially in the manner and to the extent the Leased Improvements were operated prior to the assertion of such encroachment, violation or impairment.  Tenant’s (and Landlord’s) obligations under this Section 9.2 shall be in 
36
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






addition to and shall in no way discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other insurance and, to the extent the recovery thereof is not necessary to compensate Landlord and Tenant for any damages incurred by any such encroachment, violation or impairment, Tenant shall be entitled to fifty percent (50%) of any sums recovered by Landlord under any such policy of title or other insurance up to the maximum amount paid by Tenant under this Section 9.2 and Landlord, upon request by Tenant, shall assign Landlord’s rights under such policies to Tenant; provided such assignment does not adversely affect Landlord’s rights under any such policy.  Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to seek recovery under any policy of title or other insurance under which Landlord is an insured party for all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses) based on or arising by reason of any such encroachment, violation or impairment as set forth in this Section 9.2; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be obligated to institute any litigation, arbitration or other legal proceedings in connection therewith unless Landlord is reasonably satisfied that Tenant has the financial resources needed to fund such litigation and Tenant and Landlord have agreed upon the terms and conditions on which such funding will be made available by Tenant, including, but not limited to, the mutual approval of a litigation budget.
ARTICLE X
1.1Construction of Capital Improvements to the Leased Property. Tenant shall, with respect to any Facility, have the right to make a Capital Improvement, including, without limitation, any Capital Improvement required by Section 8.2 or 9.1(a), without the consent of Landlord if the Capital Improvement (i) is of equal or better quality than the existing Leased Improvements it is improving, altering or modifying, (ii) does not consist of adding new structures or enlarging existing structures, and (iii) does not have an adverse effect on the structure of any existing Leased Improvements.  Tenant shall provide Landlord copies of the plans and specifications in respect of all Capital Improvements, which plans and specifications shall be prepared in a high-grade professional manner and shall adequately demonstrate compliance with clauses (i)-(iii) of the preceding sentence with respect to projects that do not require Landlord’s written consent and shall be in such form as Landlord may reasonably require for any other projects.  All other Capital Improvements shall be subject to Landlord’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  For any Capital Improvement which does not require the approval of Landlord, Tenant shall, prior to commencing construction of such Capital Improvement, provide to Landlord a written description of such Capital Improvement and on an ongoing basis supply Landlord with related documentation and information as Landlord may reasonably request (including plans and specifications of any such Capital Improvements).  If Tenant desires to make a Capital Improvement for which Landlord’s approval is required, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in reasonable detail a general description of the proposal, the projected cost of construction and such plans and specifications, permits, licenses, contracts and other information concerning the proposal as Landlord may reasonably request.  Such description shall indicate the use or uses to which such Capital Improvement will be put and the impact, if any, on current and forecasted gross revenues and operating income attributable thereto.  It shall be reasonable for Landlord to condition its approval of any Capital Improvement upon any or all of the following terms and conditions:
(a)Such construction shall be effected pursuant to detailed plans and specifications approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(b)Such construction shall be conducted under the supervision of a licensed architect or engineer selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;
37
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






(c)Landlord’s receipt, from the general contractor and, if reasonably requested by Landlord, a major subcontractor(s) of a performance and payment bond (or, if Tenant elects in lieu of performance and payment bond covering any major subcontractor, Sub-guard insurance, which policy shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and which shall include a financial interest endorsement naming Landlord as a beneficiary) for the full value of such construction, which such bond shall name Landlord as an additional obligee and otherwise be in form and substance and issued by a Person reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(d)In the case of a Tenant Capital Improvement, such construction shall not be undertaken unless Tenant demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord the financial ability to complete the construction without adversely affecting its cash flow position or financial viability; and
(e)No Capital Improvement will result in the Leased Property becoming a “limited use” property for purposes of United States federal income taxes.
1.2Construction Requirements for All Capital Improvements. Whether or not Landlord’s review and approval is required, for all Capital Improvements:
(a)Such construction shall not be commenced until Tenant shall have procured and paid for all municipal and other governmental permits and authorizations required to be obtained prior to such commencement, including those permits and authorizations required pursuant to any Gaming Regulations, and Landlord shall join in the application for such permits or authorizations whenever such action is necessary; provided, however, that (i) any such joinder shall be at no cost or expense to Landlord; and (ii) any plans required to be filed in connection with any such application which require the approval of Landlord as hereinabove provided shall have been so approved by Landlord;
(b)(i) Such construction shall not, and Tenant’s licensed architect or engineer shall certify to Landlord that such architect or engineer believes that the design of such construction (as illustrated through the applicable corresponding construction documents) shall not, impair the structural strength of any component of the applicable Facility or overburden the electrical, water, plumbing, HVAC or other building systems of any such component in a manner that would violate applicable building codes or prudent industry practices, and (ii) Tenant’s general contractor shall certify to Landlord that such construction is in compliance with such design and corresponding construction documents;
(c)Tenant’s licensed architect or engineer shall certify to Landlord that such architect or engineer believes that the detailed plans and specifications conform to, and comply with, in all material respects all applicable building, subdivision and zoning codes, laws, ordinances and regulations imposed by all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Leased Property of the applicable Facility;
(d)During and following completion of such construction, the parking and other amenities which are located in the applicable Facility or on the Land of such Facility shall remain adequate for the operation of such Facility for its Primary Intended Use and in no event shall such parking be less than that which is required by law (including any variances with respect thereto); provided, however, with Landlord’s prior consent and at no additional expense to Landlord, (i) to the extent additional parking is not already a part of a Capital Improvement, Tenant may construct additional parking on the Land; or (ii) Tenant may acquire or lease off-site parking to serve such Facility as long as such parking shall be reasonably proximate to, and dedicated to, or otherwise made available to serve, such Facility;
38
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






(e)All work done in connection with such construction shall be done promptly and using materials and resulting in work that is at least as good product and condition as the remaining areas of the applicable Facility and in conformity with all Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, any applicable minority or women owned business requirements; and
(f)Promptly following the completion of such construction, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord “as built” drawings of such addition, certified as accurate by the licensed architect or engineer selected by Tenant to supervise such work, and copies of any new or revised certificates of occupancy.
1.3Landlord’s Right of First Offer to Fund. Tenant shall request that Landlord fund or finance the construction and acquisition of any Capital Improvement that includes Long-Lived Assets (along with reasonably related fees and expenses, such as title fees, costs of permits, legal fees and other similar transaction related costs) if the cost of such Capital Improvements constituting Long-Lived Assets is expected to be in excess of $2 million (subject to the CPI Increase), and Tenant shall provide to Landlord any information about such Capital Improvements which Landlord may reasonably request (including any specifics regarding the terms upon which Tenant will be seeking financing for such Capital Improvements).  Landlord may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide the funds necessary to meet the request.  Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a request to fund a proposed Capital Improvement pursuant to this Section 10.3, Landlord shall notify Tenant as to whether it will fund all or a portion of such proposed Capital Improvement and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which it would do so (including the terms with respect to any increases in Rent hereunder due to such Capital Improvements).  If Landlord agrees to fund such proposed Capital Improvement, Tenant shall have ten (10) Business Days to accept or reject Landlord’s funding proposal.  If Landlord declines to fund a proposed Capital Improvement (or declines to provide Tenant written notice within such ten (10) Business Day period of the terms of its proposal to fund such Capital Improvements), Tenant shall be permitted to secure outside financing or utilize then existing available financing for such Capital Improvement for a six-month period, after which six-month period (if Tenant has not secured outside financing or determined to utilize then existing available financing) Tenant shall again be required to first seek funding from Landlord.  If Landlord agrees to fund all or a portion of a proposed Capital Improvement and Tenant rejects the terms thereof, Tenant shall be permitted to either use then existing available financing or seek outside financing for such Capital Improvement for a six-month period.  If Tenant constructs a Capital Improvement with its then existing available financing or outside financing obtained in accordance with this Section 10.3, (i) except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Master Lease to the contrary, (A) during the Term, such Capital Improvements shall be deemed part of the Leased Property and the Facilities solely for the purpose of calculating Net Revenues hereunder and shall for all other purposes be Tenant’s Property and (B) following expiration or termination of the Term, shall be either, at the option of Landlord, purchased by Landlord for fair market value or, if not purchased by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to either remove such Tenant Capital Improvements, provided that the Leased Property is restored in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, or receive fair value for such Tenant Capital Improvements in accordance with Article XXXVI.  If Landlord agrees to fund a proposed Capital Improvement and Tenant accepts the terms thereof, such Capital Improvements shall be deemed part of the Leased Property and the Facilities for all purposes and Tenant shall provide Landlord with the following prior to any advance of funds:
(a)any information, certificates, licenses, permits or documents reasonably requested by Landlord which are necessary and obtainable to confirm that Tenant will be able to use the Capital Improvement upon completion thereof in accordance with the Primary Intended Use, including all required federal, state or local government licenses and approvals;
39
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






(b)an Officer’s Certificate and, if requested, a certificate from Tenant’s architect providing appropriate backup information, setting forth in reasonable detail the projected or actual costs related to such Capital Improvements;
(c)an amendment to this Master Lease (and any development or funding agreement agreed to in accordance with this Section 10.3), in a form reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, which may include, among other things, an increase in the Rent in amounts as agreed upon by the parties hereto pursuant to the agreed funding proposal terms described above and other provisions as may be necessary or appropriate;
(d)a deed conveying title to Landlord to any land acquired for the purpose of constructing the Capital Improvement free and clear of any liens or encumbrances except those approved by Landlord, and accompanied by an ALTA survey thereof satisfactory to Landlord;
(e)for each advance, endorsements to any outstanding policy of title insurance covering the Leased Property or commitments therefor reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord (i) updating the same without any additional exception except those that do not materially affect the value of such land and do not interfere with the use of the Leased Property or as may be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) increasing the coverage thereof by an amount equal to the cost of the Capital Improvement, except to the extent covered by the owner’s policy of title insurance referred to in paragraph (f) below;
(f)if appropriate, an owner’s policy of title insurance insuring the fair market value of fee simple title to any land and improvements conveyed to Landlord free and clear of all liens and encumbrances except those that do not materially affect the value of such land and do not interfere with the use of the Leased Property or are approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that if the requirement in this paragraph (f) is not satisfied (or waived by Landlord), Tenant shall be entitled to seek third party financing or use available financing in lieu of seeking such advance from Landlord;
(g)if requested by Landlord, an appraisal by a member of the Appraisal Institute of the Leased Property indicating that the fair market value of the Leased Property upon completion of the Capital Improvement will exceed the fair market value of the Leased Property immediately prior thereto by an amount not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the cost of the Capital Improvement, provided that if the requirement in this paragraph (g) is not satisfied (or waived by Landlord), Tenant shall be entitled to seek third party financing or use available financing in lieu of seeking such advance from Landlord; and
(h)such other billing statements, invoices, certificates, endorsements, opinions, site assessments, surveys, resolutions, ratifications, lien releases and waivers and other instruments and information reasonably required by Landlord.
ARTICLE XI
1.1Liens. Subject to the provisions of Article XII relating to permitted contests, Tenant will not directly or indirectly create or allow to remain and will promptly discharge at its expense any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon the Leased Property or any Capital Improvement thereto or upon the Gaming Licenses (including indirectly through a pledge of shares in the direct or indirect entity owning an interest in the Gaming Licenses) or any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, excluding, however, (i) this Master Lease; (ii) the matters that existed as of the Commencement Date with respect to such Facility and disclosed on Schedule A; (iii) restrictions, liens and other 
40
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






encumbrances which are consented to in writing by Landlord (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); (iv) liens for Impositions which Tenant is not required to pay hereunder; (v) subleases permitted by Article XXII; (vi) liens for Impositions not yet delinquent or being contested in accordance with Article XII, provided that Tenant has provided appropriate reserves as required under GAAP and any foreclosure or similar remedies with respect to such Impositions have not been instituted and no notice as to the institution or commencement thereof has been issued except to the extent such institution or commencement is stayed no later than the earlier of (x) ten (10) Business Days after such notice is issued or (y) five (5) Business Days prior to the institution or commencement thereof; (vii) liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors for sums either disputed or not yet due, provided that (1) the payment of such sums shall not be postponed under any related contract for more than sixty (60) days after the completion of the action giving rise to such lien unless being contested in accordance with Article XII and such reserve or other appropriate provisions as shall be required by law or GAAP shall have been made therefor and no foreclosure or similar remedies with respect to such liens has been instituted and no notice as to the institution or commencement thereof have been issued except to the extent such institution or commencement is stayed no later than the earlier of (x) ten (10) Business Days after such notice is issued or (y) five (5) Business Days prior to the institution or commencement thereof; or (2) any such liens are in the process of being contested as permitted by Article XII; (viii) any liens created by Landlord; (ix) liens related to equipment leases or equipment financing for Tenant’s Property which are used or useful in Tenant’s business on the Leased Property, provided that the payment of any sums due under such equipment leases or equipment financing shall either (1) be paid as and when due in accordance with the terms thereof, or (2) be in the process of being contested as permitted by Article XII and provided that a lien holder’s removal of any such Tenant’s Property from the Leased Property shall be made in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Section 11.1; (x) liens granted as security for the obligations of Tenant and its Affiliates under a Debt Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall the foregoing be deemed or construed to permit Tenant to encumber its leasehold interest (or a subtenant to encumber its subleasehold interest) in the Leased Property or its direct or indirect interest (or the interest of any of its Subsidiaries) in the Gaming Licenses (other than, in each case, to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, for which no consent shall be required), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; and provided, further, that Tenant shall be required to provide Landlord with fully executed copies of any and all Permitted Leasehold Mortgages and related principal Debt Agreements; (xi) easements, rights-of-way, restrictions (including zoning restrictions), covenants, encroachments, protrusions and other similar charges or encumbrances, and minor title deficiencies on or with respect to any Leased Property, in each case whether now or hereafter in existence, not individually or in the aggregate materially interfering with the conduct of the business on the Leased Property, taken as a whole; and (xii) liens granted as security for the obligations of Landlord and its Affiliates under any Facility Mortgage.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Tenant has not granted any liens in favor of Landlord as security for its obligations hereunder (except to the extent contemplated in the final paragraph of this Section 11.1) and nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to prohibit the issuance of a lien on the Equity Interests in Tenant (it being agreed that any foreclosure by a lien holder on such interests in Tenant shall be subject to the restriction on Change in Control set forth in Article XXII) or to prohibit Tenant from pledging its Accounts and other Tenant’s Property and other property of Tenant, including fixtures and equipment installed by Tenant at the Facilities, as collateral in connection with financings from equipment lenders (or to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees); provided that Tenant shall in no event pledge to any Person that is not granted a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage hereunder any of the Gaming Licenses or other of Tenant’s Property to the extent that such Tenant’s Property cannot be removed from the Leased Property without damaging or impairing the Leased Property (other than in a de minimis manner).  For the further avoidance of doubt, by way of example, Tenant shall not grant to any lender (other than a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) a lien on, and any and all lien holders (including a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) shall not have the right to remove, 
41
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






carpeting, internal wiring, elevators, or escalators at the Leased Property, but lien holders may have the right to remove (and Tenant shall have the right to grant a lien on) manual or electronic gaming machines and other gaming equipment (including, without limitation, electronic equipment used to monitor and/or operate gaming machines and other gaming equipment) and electronic or other equipment used to operate player affinity systems, even if the removal thereof from the Leased Property could result in damage; provided any such damage is repaired by the lien holder or Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Master Lease.
Landlord and Tenant intend that this Master Lease be an indivisible true lease that affords the parties hereto the rights and remedies of landlord and tenant hereunder and does not represent a financing arrangement.  This Master Lease is not an attempt by Landlord or Tenant to evade the operation of any aspect of the law applicable to any of the Leased Property.  Except as otherwise required by a change in tax law or any change in accounting rules or regulations or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or similar provision of state or local law), Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that this Master Lease shall be treated as an operating lease for all purposes and not as a synthetic lease, financing lease or loan and that Landlord shall be entitled to all the benefits of ownership of the Leased Property, including depreciation for all federal, state and local tax purposes.
If, notwithstanding (a) the form and substance of this Master Lease and (b) the intent of the parties, and the language contained herein providing that this Master Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property, any court of competent jurisdiction finds that this Master Lease is a financing arrangement, this Master Lease shall be considered a secured financing agreement and Landlord’s title to the Leased Property shall constitute a perfected first priority lien in Landlord’s favor on the Leased Property to secure the payment and performance of all the obligations of Tenant hereunder (and to that end, Tenant hereby grants, assigns and transfers to the Landlord a security interest in all right, title or interest in or to any and all of the Leased Property, as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of Tenant’s obligations hereunder).  Tenant authorizes Landlord, at the expense of Tenant, to make any filings or take other actions as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or advisable in order to effect fully this Master Lease or to more fully perfect or renew the rights of the Landlord, and to subordinate to the Landlord the lien of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, with respect to the Leased Property (it being understood that nothing herein shall affect the rights of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Article XVII hereof).  At any time and from time to time upon the request of the Landlord, and at the expense of the Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts as the Landlord may reasonably request in order to effect fully this Master Lease or to more fully perfect or renew the rights of the Landlord with respect to the Leased Property.  Upon the exercise by the Landlord of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Master Lease which requires any consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization of any governmental authority, Tenant will execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certifications, instruments and other documents and papers that Landlord may be required to obtain from Tenant for such consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization.
ARTICLE XII
1.1Permitted Contests. Tenant, upon prior written notice to Landlord, on its own or in Landlord’s name, at Tenant’s expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity or application, in whole or in part, of any licensure or certification decision (including pursuant to any Gaming Regulation), Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim; provided, however, that (i) in the case of an unpaid Imposition, lien, attachment, 
42
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, the commencement and continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from Landlord and from the Leased Property or any Capital Improvement thereto; (ii) neither the Leased Property or any Capital Improvement thereto, the Rent therefrom nor any part or interest in either thereof would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost pending the outcome of such proceedings; (iii) in the case of a Legal Requirement, neither Landlord nor Tenant would be in any danger of civil or criminal liability for failure to comply therewith pending the outcome of such proceedings; (iv) if any such contest shall involve a sum of money or potential loss in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord to the effect set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, to the extent applicable (it being agreed that the matters set forth in clause (i) can be addressed by Tenant paying the contested amount prior to any such contest); (v) in the case of a Legal Requirement, Imposition, lien, encumbrance or charge, Tenant shall give such reasonable security as may be required by Landlord to prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Leased Property or any Capital Improvement thereto or the Rent by reason of such non-payment or noncompliance; (vi) in the case of an Insurance Requirement, the coverage required by Article XIII shall be maintained; (vii) Tenant shall keep Landlord reasonably informed as to the status of the proceedings; and (viii) if such contest be finally resolved against Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall promptly pay the amount required to be paid, together with all interest and penalties accrued thereon, or comply with the applicable Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement.  Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, shall execute and deliver to Tenant such authorizations and other documents as may reasonably be required in any such contest, and, if reasonably requested by Tenant or if Landlord so desires, Landlord shall join as a party therein.  The provisions of this Article XII shall not be construed to permit Tenant to contest the payment of Rent or any other amount (other than Impositions or Additional Charges which Tenant may from time to time be required to impound with Landlord) payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such contest and any loss resulting therefrom, except in any instance where Landlord opted to join and joined as a party in the proceeding despite Tenant’s having sent written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s preference that Landlord not join in such proceeding.
ARTICLE XIII
1.1General Insurance Requirements. During the Term, Tenant shall at all times keep the Leased Property, and all property located in or on the Leased Property, including Capital Improvements, the Fixtures and Tenant’s Property, insured with the kinds and amounts of insurance described below.  Each element of insurance described in this Article XIII shall be maintained with respect to the Leased Property of each Facility and Tenant’s Property and operations thereon.  Such insurance shall be written by companies permitted to conduct business in the applicable State.  All third party liability type policies must name Landlord as an “additional insured.”  All property policies shall name Landlord as “loss payee” for its interests in each Facility.  All business interruption policies shall name Landlord as “loss payee” with respect to Rent only.  Property losses shall be payable to Landlord and/or Tenant as provided in Article XIV.  In addition, the policies, as appropriate, shall name as an “additional insured” and/or “loss payee” each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and as an “additional insured” or “loss payee” the holder of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement (“Facility Mortgagee”) securing any indebtedness or any other Encumbrance placed on the Leased Property in accordance with the provisions of Article XXXI (“Facility Mortgage”) by way of a standard form of mortgagee’s loss payable endorsement.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, any property insurance loss adjustment settlement shall require the written consent of Landlord, Tenant, and each Facility Mortgagee (to the extent required under the applicable Facility Mortgage Documents) unless the amount of the loss net of the applicable deductible is less than 
43
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in which event no consent shall be required.  Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Landlord and, if requested, with any Facility Mortgagee(s).  The insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall insure against all the following risks with respect to each Facility:
(a)Loss or damage by fire, vandalism, collapse and malicious mischief, extended coverage perils commonly known as “All Risk,” and all physical loss perils normally included in such All Risk insurance, including, but not limited to, sprinkler leakage and windstorm, in an amount not less than the insurable value on a Maximum Foreseeable Loss (as defined below in Section 13.2) basis and including a building ordinance coverage endorsement; provided, that Tenant shall have the right (i) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by earthquake (including earth movement) to a minimum amount of Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) or as may be reasonably requested by Landlord and commercially available, and (ii) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by windstorm (including but not limited to named windstorms) to a minimum amount of Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) or as may be reasonably requested by Landlord and commercially available; provided, further, that in the event the premium cost of any or all of earthquake, flood, windstorm (including named windstorm) or terrorism coverages are available only for a premium that is more than 2.5 times the average premium paid by Tenant (or prior operator of Facilities) over the preceding three years for the insurance policy contemplated by this Section 13.1(a), then Tenant shall be entitled and required to purchase the maximum insurance coverage it deems most efficient and prudent to purchase and Tenant shall not be required to spend additional funds to purchase additional coverages insuring against such risks; and provided, further, that some property coverages might be sub-limited in an amount less than the Maximum Foreseeable Loss as long as the sub-limits are commercially reasonable and prudent as deemed by Tenant;
(b)Loss or damage by explosion of steam boilers, pressure vessels or similar apparatus, now or hereafter installed in each Facility, in such limits with respect to any one accident as may be reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time;
(c)Flood (when any of the improvements comprising the Leased Property of a Facility is located in whole or in part within a designated 100-year flood plain area) in an amount not less than the greater of (i) probable maximum loss of a 250 year event, and (ii) One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), and such other hazards and in such amounts as may be customary for comparable properties in the area;
(d)Loss of rental value in an amount not less than twelve (12) months’ Rent payable hereunder or business interruption in an amount not less than twelve (12) months of income and normal operating expenses including 90-days ordinary payroll and Rent payable hereunder with an extended period of indemnity coverage of at least ninety (90) days necessitated by the occurrence of any of the hazards described in Sections 13.1(a), 13.1(b) or 13.1(c), provided that Tenant may self-insure specific Facilities for the insurance contemplated under this Section 13.1(d), provided that (i) such Facilities that Tenant chooses to self-insure are not expected to generate more than ten percent (10%) of Net Revenues anticipated to be generated from all the Facilities and (ii) Tenant deposits in any impound account created under Section 4.3 hereof an amount equal to the product of (1) the sum of (A) the insurance premiums paid by Tenant for such period under this Section 13.1(d) to insurance companies and (B) the amount deposited by Tenant in an impound account pursuant to this provision, and (2) the 
44
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






percentage of Net Revenues that are anticipated to be generated by the Facilities that are being self-insured by Tenant under this provision;
(e)Claims for personal injury or property damage under a policy of comprehensive general public liability insurance with amounts not less than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) each occurrence and One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) in the annual aggregate, provided that such requirements may be satisfied through the purchase of a primary general liability policy and excess liability policies;

1.2Maximum Foreseeable Loss. The term “Maximum Foreseeable Loss” shall mean the largest monetary loss within one area that may be expected to result from a single fire with protection impaired, the control of the fire mainly dependent on physical barriers or separations and a delayed manual firefighting by public and/or private fire brigades.  If Landlord reasonably believes that the Maximum Foreseeable Loss has increased at any time during the Term, it shall have the right (unless Tenant and Landlord agree otherwise) to have such Maximum Foreseeable Loss redetermined by an impartial national insurance company reasonably acceptable to both parties (the “Impartial Appraiser”), or, if the parties cannot agree on an Impartial Appraiser, then by an Expert appointed in accordance with Section 34.1 hereof.  The determination of the Impartial Appraiser (or the Expert, as the case may be) shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and Tenant shall forthwith adjust the amount of the insurance carried pursuant to this Article XIII to the amount so determined by the Impartial Appraiser (or the Expert, as the case may be), subject to the approval of the Facility Mortgagee, as applicable.  Each party shall pay one-half (1/2) of the fee, if any, of the Impartial Appraiser.  If Landlord pays the Impartial Appraiser, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be Additional Charges hereunder and if Tenant pays such Impartial Appraiser, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be a credit against the next Rent payment hereunder.  If Tenant has undertaken any structural alterations or additions to the Leased Property having a cost or value in excess of Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000), Landlord may at Tenant’s expense have the Maximum Foreseeable Loss redetermined at any time after such improvements are made, regardless of when the Maximum Foreseeable Loss was last determined.
1.3Additional Insurance. In addition to the insurance described above, Tenant shall maintain such additional insurance upon notice from Landlord as may be reasonably required from time to time by any Facility Mortgagee and shall further at all times maintain adequate workers’ compensation coverage and any other coverage required by Legal Requirements for all Persons employed by Tenant on the Leased Property in accordance with Legal Requirements.
1.4Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance policies carried by either party covering the Leased Property or Tenant’s Property, including, without limitation, contents, fire and liability insurance, shall expressly waive any right of subrogation on the part of the insurer against the other party.  Each party, respectively, shall pay any additional costs or charges for obtaining such waiver.
45
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






1.5Policy Requirements. All of the policies of insurance referred to in this Article XIII shall be written in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee and issued by insurance companies with a minimum policyholder rating of “A-” and a financial rating of “VII” in the most recent version of Best’s Key Rating Guide, or a minimum rating of “BBB” from Standard & Poor’s or equivalent.  If Tenant obtains and maintains the general liability insurance described in Section 13.1(e) above on a “claims made” basis, Tenant shall provide continuous liability coverage for claims arising during the Term.  In the event such “claims made” basis policy is canceled or not renewed for any reason whatsoever (or converted to an “occurrence” basis policy), Tenant shall either obtain (a) “tail” insurance coverage converting the policies to “occurrence” basis policies providing coverage for a period of at least three (3) years beyond the expiration of the Term, or (b) an extended reporting period of at least three (3) years beyond the expiration of the Term.  Tenant shall pay all of the premiums therefor, and deliver certificates thereof to Landlord prior to their effective date (and with respect to any renewal policy, prior to the expiration of the existing policy), and in the event of the failure of Tenant either to effect such insurance in the names herein called for or to pay the premiums therefor, or to deliver such certificates thereof to Landlord, at the times required, Landlord shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation, to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, in which event the cost thereof, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate, shall be repayable to Landlord upon demand therefor.  Tenant shall obtain, to the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the agreement of each insurer, by endorsement on the policy or policies issued by it, or by independent instrument furnished to Landlord, that it will give to Landlord thirty (30) days’ (or ten (10) days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) written notice before the policy or policies in question shall be altered, allowed to expire or cancelled.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Article XIII to the contrary, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that the coverage required to be maintained by Tenant may be provided under one or more policies with various deductibles or self-insurance retentions by Tenant or its Affiliates, subject to Landlord’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld.  Upon written request by Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord copies of the property insurance policies when issued by the insurers providing such coverage.
1.6Increase in Limits. If, from time to time after the Commencement Date, Landlord determines in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment that the limits of the personal injury or property damage-public liability insurance then carried pursuant to Section 13.1(e) hereof are insufficient, Landlord may give Tenant Notice of acceptable limits for the insurance to be carried; provided that in no event will Tenant be required to carry insurance in an amount which exceeds the product of (i) the amounts set forth in Section 13.1(e) hereof and (ii) the CPI Increase; and subject to the foregoing limitation, within ninety (90) days after the receipt of such Notice, the insurance shall thereafter be carried with limits as prescribed by Landlord until further increase pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.6.
1.7Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XIII, Tenant’s obligations to carry the insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Tenant; provided that the requirements of this Article XIII (including satisfaction of the Facility Mortgagee’s requirements and the approval of the Facility Mortgagee) are otherwise satisfied, and provided further that Tenant maintains specific allocations acceptable to Landlord.
1.8No Separate Insurance. Tenant shall not, on Tenant’s own initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement of any third party, (i) take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Article XIII to be furnished by, or which may reasonably be required to be furnished by, Tenant or (ii) increase the amounts of any then existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of the insurance, including in all cases Landlord and all Facility Mortgagees, are included therein as additional insureds and the 
46
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






loss is payable under such insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under this Master Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prohibit Tenant from insuring against risks not required to be insured hereby, and as to such insurance, Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee need not be included therein as additional insureds, nor must the loss thereunder be payable in the same manner as losses are payable hereunder except to the extent required to avoid a default under the Facility Mortgage.
ARTICLE XIV
1.1Property Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds (except business interruption not allocated to rent expenses) payable by reason of any property loss or damage to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, under any property policy of insurance required to be carried hereunder shall be paid to Facility Mortgagee or to an escrow account held by a third party depositary reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant (pursuant to an escrow agreement acceptable to the parties and intended to implement the terms hereof) and made available to Tenant upon request for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of preservation, stabilization, emergency restoration, business interruption, reconstruction and repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof; provided, however, that the portion of such proceeds that are attributable to Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent shall be applied against Rents due by Tenant hereunder; and provided, further, that if the total amount of proceeds payable net of the applicable deductibles is One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or less, and if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the proceeds shall be paid directly to Tenant and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XIV used for the repair of any damage to the Leased Property, it being understood and agreed that Tenant shall have no obligation to rebuild any Tenant Capital Improvement, provided that the Leased Property is rebuilt in a manner substantially similar to the condition in which it existed prior to the related casualty or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction and with materials and workmanship of like kind and quality and to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction shall be provided to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after such restoration or reconstruction has been completed.  All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance for damage or loss to the Leased Property shall belong to Landlord.  Tenant shall have the right to prosecute and settle insurance claims, provided that Tenant shall consult with and involve Landlord in the process of adjusting any insurance claims under this Article XIV and any final settlement with the insurance company shall be subject to Landlord’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
1.2Tenant’s Obligations Following Casualty. If a Facility and/or any Tenant Capital Improvements to a Facility are damaged, whether or not from a risk covered by insurance carried by Tenant, except as otherwise provided herein, (i) Tenant shall restore such Leased Property (excluding any Tenant Capital Improvement, it being understood and agreed that Tenant shall not be required to repair any Tenant Capital Improvement, provided that the Leased Property is rebuilt in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord), to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such damage and (ii) such damage shall not terminate this Master Lease.
(b)If Tenant restores the affected Leased Property and the cost of the repair or restoration exceeds the amount of proceeds received from the insurance required to be carried hereunder, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord that Tenant has available to it any excess amounts needed to restore such Facility.  Such excess amounts necessary to restore such Facility shall be paid by Tenant.
47
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






(c)If Tenant has not restored the affected Leased Property and gaming operations have not recommenced by the date that is the third anniversary of the date of any casualty, all remaining insurance proceeds shall be paid to and retained by Landlord free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant.
(d)In the event neither Landlord nor Tenant is required or elects to repair and restore the Leased Property, all insurance proceeds, other than proceeds reasonably attributed to any Tenant Capital Improvements (and, subject to no Event of Default having occurred and being continuing, any business interruption proceeds in excess of Tenant’s Rent obligations hereunder), which proceeds shall be and remain the property of Tenant, shall be paid to and retained by Landlord free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant except as otherwise specifically provided below in this Article XIV.
1.3No Abatement of Rent. This Master Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to pay the Rent and all other charges required by this Master Lease shall remain unabated during the period required for adjusting insurance, satisfying Legal Requirements, repair and restoration.
1.4Waiver. Tenant waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property but such waiver shall not affect any contractual rights granted to Tenant under this Article XIV.
1.5Insurance Proceeds Paid to Facility Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Landlord obtains any Facility Mortgage, the terms of such Facility Mortgage shall provide that any insurance proceeds (excluding business interruption proceeds, which shall continue to be payable to Landlord in payment of Rent) may be held by such Facility Mortgagee and shall be applied to the restoration of the Leased Property and/or disbursed to Tenant to permit Tenant to restore the Leased Property, in the manner required by Section 14.2 and other applicable provisions of this Master Lease and may not be applied by such Facility Mortgagee to the indebtedness secured by the Facility Mortgage, provided that Tenant satisfies each of the following conditions to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and such Facility Mortgagee: (a) at the time of the related casualty, there shall exist no Event of Default; (b) the Leased Property affected by such casualty shall be capable of being restored to the condition required by Section 14.2; (c) Tenant shall demonstrate to Landlord’s and such Facility Mortgagee’s reasonable satisfaction Tenant’s ability to pay the Rent coming due during such repair or restoration period (after taking into account proceeds from business interruption insurance carried by Tenant); (d) Tenant shall have provided to Landlord and such Facility Mortgagee all of the following:  (i) an architect’s contract with an architect reasonably acceptable to Landlord and such Facility Mortgagee; (ii) complete plans and specifications for the restoration of the affected portions of the Leased Property, which plans and specifications shall cause the Leased Property to be restored or reconstructed to the condition required under Section 14.2; provided, however, Tenant agrees to incorporate Landlord’s reasonable comments to such plans and specifications; (iii) fixed-price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contracts with contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord and such Facility Mortgagee for completion of the restoration work in accordance with the aforementioned plans and specifications; (iv) such additional funds (if any) as are necessary from time to time, in Landlord’s and such Facility Mortgagee’s reasonable opinion, to complete the restoration pursuant to the plans and specifications and in the condition required under Section 14.2; and (v) copies of all permits, licenses and approvals necessary to complete the restoration in accordance with the plans and specifications and all Legal Requirements; (e) Tenant shall, promptly following the related casualty, diligently pursue all items required pursuant to clause (d) above and, after obtaining and providing the same to Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee, shall promptly commence and diligently pursue such work to completion; (f) Tenant shall complete (and shall provide to Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee such documentation evidencing the 
48
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






same) the restoration on or before the earliest to occur of (i) three (3) years after the date of the related casualty, and (ii) the expiration of the Term (provided, however, in the event that such restoration or reconstruction cannot be reasonably completed prior to the expiration of the Term, the deadline imposed under this subclause (iii) shall include any properly exercised Renewal Term); (g) the Property and the use thereof after the restoration will be in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements; (h) Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord and any Facility Mortgagee all certificates of occupancy, lien waivers and such other documentation reasonably requested by Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee in connection with the restoration and reconstruction of the Leased Property; and (i) Tenant agrees to comply with any commercially reasonable draw or other disbursement requirements imposed by any such Facility Mortgagee.

ARTICLE XV
1.1Condemnation.
(a)Total Taking.  If the Leased Property of a Facility is totally and permanently taken by Condemnation (a “Taking”), this Master Lease shall terminate with respect to such Facility as of the day before the Date of Taking for such Facility.
(b)Partial Taking.  If a portion of the Leased Property of, and any Tenant Capital Improvements to, a Facility are taken by Condemnation, this Master Lease shall remain in effect if the affected Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, but if such Facility is thereby rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, this Master Lease shall terminate with respect to such Facility as of the day before the Date of Taking for such Facility.
(c)Restoration.  If there is a partial Taking of the Leased Property of, and any Tenant Capital Improvements to, a Facility and this Master Lease remains in full force and effect with respect to such Facility, Landlord shall make available to Tenant the portion of the Award applicable to restoration of the Leased Property (excluding any Tenant Capital Improvements, it being understood and agreed that Tenant shall not be required to repair or restore any Tenant Capital Improvements, provided that the Leased Property is restored in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and, whether or not Tenant elects to restore such Tenant Capital Improvements, the portion of such Award attributable thereto shall also be paid to Tenant), and Tenant shall accomplish all necessary restoration whether or not the amount provided by the Condemnor for restoration is sufficient and the Rent shall be reduced by such amount as may be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant or, if they are unable to reach such an agreement within a period of thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the Taking, then the Rent for such Facility shall be proportionately reduced, based on the proportion of the Facility that was subject to the partial Taking and pursuant to the formula set forth in Section 14.6 hereof.  Tenant shall restore such Leased Property (as nearly as possible under the circumstances) to a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition as such Leased Property existing immediately prior to such Taking.
1.2Award Distribution. Except as set forth below and except to the extent of restoration proceeds to be made available to Tenant as provided in Section 15.1(c) hereof, the entire Award shall belong to and be paid to Landlord.  Tenant shall, however, be entitled to pursue its own claim with respect to the Taking for Tenant’s lost profits value and moving expenses and, the portion of the Award, if any, allocated to any Tenant Capital Improvements (subject to Tenant’s restoring the Leased Property not subject to a Taking in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) and Tenant’s Property shall be and remain the property of Tenant free of any claim thereto by Landlord.
1.3Temporary Taking. The taking of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, shall constitute a taking by Condemnation only when the use and occupancy by the taking authority has continued for longer than 180 consecutive days.  During any shorter period, which shall be a temporary taking, all the provisions of this Master Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the Award allocable to the Term shall be paid to Tenant.

In the event that the Facility Mortgagee elects to apply the Condemnation Award to the indebtedness secured by the 
50
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Facility Mortgage in the case of a Taking as to which the restoration provisions apply (or the related financing agreement requires such application), Landlord shall either (i) within ninety (90) days of the notice from the Facility Mortgagee make available to Tenant for restoration of such Leased Property funds (either through refinance or otherwise) equal to the amount applied by the Facility Mortgagee or applicable to restoration of the Leased Property and shall pay to Tenant any amount of the Award allocated to Tenant Capital Improvements, or (ii) sell to Tenant the portion of the Leased Property consisting of the Facility that is not subject to the Taking in exchange for a payment equal to the greater of (1) the difference between (a) the value of such Facility immediately prior to such Taking, based on the average fair market value of similar real estate in the areas surrounding such Facility, and (b) the amount of the Condemnation Award retained by the Facility Mortgagee, and (2) the value of the remaining portion of such Facility after such Taking, based on the average fair market value of similar real estate in the areas surrounding such Facility.
1.5Termination of Master Lease; Abatement of Rent. In the event this Master Lease is terminated with respect to the affected portion of the Leased Property as a result of a Taking (or pursuant to Section 15.4 hereof as a result of a Facility Mortgagee electing to apply a Condemnation Award to the indebtedness secured by the Facility Mortgage), the Rent due hereunder from and after the effective date of such termination shall be reduced by an amount determined in the same manner as set forth in Section 14.6 hereof.

None of (i) the termination of this Master Lease, (ii) the repossession of the Leased Property (including any Capital Improvements to any Facility), (iii) the failure of Landlord to relet the Leased Property or any portion thereof, (iv) the reletting of all or any portion of the Leased Property, or (v) the inability of Landlord to collect or receive any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting.  Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s damages under this Master Lease.  If any such termination of this Master Lease occurs (whether or not Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property), Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord all Rent due and payable under this Master Lease to and including the date of such termination.  Thereafter:
Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord, at Landlord’s option, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for the occurrence of an Event of Default, either:
(A)the sum of:
(i)the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination to the extent not previously paid by Tenant under this Section 16.3;
(ii)the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves was in fact avoided or could have been reasonably avoided;
(iii)the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves was in fact avoided or could be reasonably avoided; plus
(iv)any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Master Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; provided, however, no compensation shall be 
54
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






due for consequential damages or diminution in value of the Land or the Buildings resulting from the Event of Default; provided, further, that Tenant shall be responsible for consequential damages resulting solely from Tenant’s holding over and remaining in all or any portion of the Leased Property following the expiration or earlier termination of this Master Lease (or any partial termination thereof with respect to a particular Facility) and first accruing after the date that is six (6) months following such termination.
As used in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Overdue Rate.  As used in clause (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award plus one percent (1%) and reducing such amount by the portion of the unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided.
or
(B)    if Landlord chooses not to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property (whether or not Landlord terminates the Master Lease), each installment of said Rent and other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Master Lease as the same becomes due and payable, together with interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when due until paid, and Landlord may enforce, by action or otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Master Lease (and Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property and seek damages under subparagraph (A) hereof, to the extent not already paid for by Tenant under this subparagraph (B)).
1.4Receiver. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, and upon commencement of proceedings to enforce the rights of Landlord hereunder, but subject to any limitations of applicable law, Landlord shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers acceptable to Landlord of the Leased Property and of the revenues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof, pending the outcome of such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.
1.5Waiver. If Landlord initiates judicial proceedings or if this Master Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to this Article XVI, Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession; and (ii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.
1.6Application of Funds. Any payments received by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Master Lease during the existence or continuance of any Event of Default which are made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to the existence of an Event of Default shall be applied to Tenant’s obligations in the order which Landlord may reasonably determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State.
ARTICLE XVII
1.1Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees.
(a)On one or more occasions without Landlord’s prior consent Tenant may mortgage or otherwise encumber Tenant’s estate in and to the Leased Property (the “Leasehold Estate”) to one or more Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees under one or more Permitted 
55
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Leasehold Mortgages and pledge its right, title and interest under this Master Lease and/or Equity Interests in Tenant or its direct or indirect equity owners as security for such Permitted Leasehold Mortgages or any Debt Agreement secured thereby; provided that, except as provided in Section 17.1(b)(i)(3), no Person shall be considered a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee unless (1) such Person delivers to Landlord a written agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) providing (i) that (unless this Master Lease has been terminated as to a particular Facility) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and any lenders for whom it acts as representative, agent or trustee, will not use or dispose of any Gaming License for use at a location other than at the Facility to which such Gaming License relates as of the date such Person becomes a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (or, in the case of any Facility added to the Master Lease after such date, as of the date that such Facility is added to the Master Lease), and (ii) an express acknowledgement that, in the event of the exercise by the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee of its rights under the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall be required to (except for a transfer that meets the requirements of Section 22.2(iii)) secure the approval of Landlord for the replacement of Tenant with respect to the affected portion of the Leased Property and contain the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s acknowledgment that such approval may be granted or withheld by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Article XXII of this Master Lease, and (2) the underlying Permitted Leasehold Mortgage includes an express acknowledgement that any exercise of remedies thereunder that would affect the Leasehold Estate shall be subject to the terms of the Master Lease.
(b)Notice to Landlord.
(i)    If Tenant shall, on one or more occasions, mortgage Tenant’s Leasehold Estate and if the holder of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall provide Landlord with written notice of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage together with a true copy of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and the name and address of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, Landlord and Tenant agree that, following receipt of such written notice by Landlord, the provisions of this Section 17.1 shall apply in respect to each such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage.
(2)In the event of any assignment of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or in the event of a change of address of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or of an assignee of such Mortgage, written notice of the new name and address shall be provided to Landlord.
(3)Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent has satisfied all conditions precedent set forth in this Section 17.1 to be, and for all purposes under this Master Lease is, a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.
(ii)Landlord shall promptly upon receipt of a communication purporting to constitute the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above acknowledge by an executed and notarized instrument receipt of such communication as constituting the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above and confirming the status of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as such or, in the alternative, notify the Tenant and the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee of the rejection of such communication as not conforming with the provisions of this Section 17.1 and specify the specific basis of such rejection.
56
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






(iii)After Landlord has received the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above, the Tenant, upon being requested to do so by Landlord, shall with reasonable promptness provide Landlord with copies of the note or other obligation secured by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and of any other documents pertinent to the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage as specified by the Landlord.  If requested to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall thereafter also provide the Landlord from time to time with a copy of each amendment or other modification or supplement to such instruments.  All recorded documents shall be accompanied by the appropriate recording stamp or other certification of the custodian of the relevant recording office as to their authenticity as true and correct copies of official records and all nonrecorded documents shall be accompanied by a certification by Tenant that such documents are true and correct copies of the originals.  From time to time upon being requested to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall also notify Landlord of the date and place of recording and other pertinent recording data with respect to such instruments as have been recorded.
(c)Default Notice.  Landlord, upon providing Tenant any notice of:  (i) default under this Master Lease or (ii) a termination of this Master Lease, shall at the same time provide a copy of such notice to every Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b) hereof.  No such notice by Landlord to Tenant shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until a copy thereof has been sent, in the manner prescribed in Section 35.1 of this Master Lease, to every Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b) hereof.  From and after such notice has been sent to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the same period, with respect to its remedying any default or acts or omissions which are the subject matter of such notice or causing the same to be remedied, as is given Tenant after the giving of such notice to Tenant, plus in each instance, the additional periods of time specified in subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 17.1 to remedy, commence remedying or cause to be remedied the defaults or acts or omissions which are the subject matter of such notice specified in any such notice.  Landlord shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as if the same had been done by Tenant.  Tenant authorizes each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (to the extent such action is authorized under the applicable Debt Agreement) to take any such action at such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s option and does hereby authorize entry upon the premises by the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for such purpose.
(d)Notice to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.  Anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if any default shall occur which entitles Landlord to terminate this Master Lease, Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Master Lease on account of such default unless, following the expiration of the period of time given Tenant to cure such default or the act or omission which gave rise to such default, Landlord shall notify every Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b) hereof of Landlord’s intent to so terminate at least thirty (30) days in advance of the proposed effective date of such termination if such default is capable of being cured by the payment of money, and at least ninety (90) days in advance of the proposed effective date of such termination if such default is not capable of being cured by the payment of money (“Termination Notice”).  The provisions of subsection (e) below of this Section 17.1 shall apply if, during such thirty (30) or ninety (90) days (as the case may be) Termination Notice period, any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall:
(i)notify Landlord of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s desire to nullify such Termination Notice; and
57
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






(ii)pay or cause to be paid all Rent, Additional Charges, and other payments (i) then due and in arrears as specified in the Termination Notice to such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and (ii) which may become due during such thirty (30) or ninety (90) day (as the case may be) period (as the same may become due); and
(iii)comply or in good faith, with reasonable diligence and continuity, commence to comply with all nonmonetary requirements of this Master Lease then in default and reasonably susceptible of being complied with by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, provided, however, that such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall not be required during such ninety (90) day period to cure or commence to cure any default consisting of Tenant’s failure to satisfy and discharge any lien, charge or encumbrance against the Tenant’s interest in this Master Lease or the Leased Property, or any of Tenant’s other assets junior in priority to the lien of the mortgage or other security documents held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee; and
(iv)during such thirty (30) or ninety (90) day period, the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall respond, with reasonable diligence, to requests for information from Landlord as to the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s (and related lenders’) intent to pay such Rent and other charges and comply with this Master Lease.
(e)Procedure on Default.
(i)If Landlord shall elect to terminate this Master Lease by reason of any Event of Default of Tenant that has occurred and is continuing, and a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have proceeded in the manner provided for by subsection (d) of this Section 17.1, the specified date for the termination of this Master Lease as fixed by Landlord in its Termination Notice shall be extended for a period of six (6) months; provided that such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall, during such six-month period (and during the period of any continuance referred to in subsection (e)(ii) below):
(1)pay or cause to be paid the Rent, Additional Charges and other monetary obligations of Tenant under this Master Lease as the same become due, and continue its good faith efforts to perform or cause to be performed all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Master Lease, excepting (A) obligations of Tenant to satisfy or otherwise discharge any lien, charge or encumbrance against Tenant’s interest in this Master Lease or the Leased Property or any of Tenant’s other assets junior in priority to the lien of the mortgage or other security documents held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and (B) past nonmonetary obligations then in default and not reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee; and
(2)if not enjoined or stayed pursuant to a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or other judicial order, diligently continue to pursue acquiring or selling Tenant’s interest in this Master Lease and the Leased Property by foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or other appropriate means and diligently prosecute the same to completion.
58
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






(ii)If at the end of such six (6) month period such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is complying with subsection (e)(i) above, this Master Lease shall not then terminate, and the time for completion by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee of its proceedings shall continue (provided that for the time of such continuance, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is in compliance with subsection (e)(i) above) (x) so long as such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is enjoined or stayed pursuant to a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or other judicial order and if so enjoined or stayed, thereafter for so long as such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee proceeds to complete steps to acquire or sell Tenant’s interest in this Master Lease by foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or by other appropriate means with reasonable diligence and continuity but not to exceed twelve (12) months after the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is no longer so enjoined or stayed from prosecuting the same and in no event longer than twenty-four (24) months from the date of Landlord’s initial notification to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to Section 17.1(d) hereof, and (y) if such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is not so enjoined or stayed, thereafter for so long as such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee proceeds to complete steps to acquire or sell Tenant’s interests in this Master Lease by foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or by other appropriate means with reasonable diligence and continuity but not to exceed twelve (12) months from the date of Landlord’s initial notification to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to Section 17.1(d) hereof.  Nothing in this subsection (e) of this Section 17.1, however, shall be construed to extend this Master Lease beyond the original term thereof as extended by any options to extend the term of this Master Lease properly exercised by Tenant or a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee in accordance with Section 1.4, nor to require a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee to continue such foreclosure proceeding after the default has been cured.  If the default shall be cured pursuant to the terms and within the time periods allowed in subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 17.1 and the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall discontinue such foreclosure proceedings, this Master Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had not defaulted under this Master Lease.
(iii)If a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is complying with subsection (e)(i) of this Section 17.1, upon the acquisition of Tenant’s Leasehold Estate herein by a Discretionary Transferee this Master Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had not defaulted under this Master Lease, provided that such Discretionary Transferee cures all outstanding defaults that can be cured through the payment of money and all other defaults that are reasonably susceptible of being cured.
(iv)For the purposes of this Section 17.1, the making of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Master Lease nor of the Leasehold Estate hereby created, nor shall any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, be deemed to be an assignee or transferee of this Master Lease or of the Leasehold Estate hereby created so as to require such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of the Tenant to be performed hereunder; but the purchaser at any sale of this Master Lease (including a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee if it is the purchaser at foreclosure) and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created in any proceedings for the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, or the assignee or transferee of this Master Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created under any instrument of assignment or transfer in lieu of the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, shall be subject to Article XXII hereof (including the requirement that such purchaser 
59
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






assume the performance of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of the Tenant to be performed hereunder and meet the qualifications of Discretionary Transferee or be reasonably consented to by Landlord in accordance with Section 22.2(i) hereof).
(v)Any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or other acquirer of the Leasehold Estate of Tenant pursuant to foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other proceedings in accordance with the requirements of Section 22.2(iii) of this Master Lease may, upon acquiring Tenant’s Leasehold Estate, without further consent of Landlord, sell and assign the Leasehold Estate in accordance with the requirements of Section 22.2(iii) of this Master Lease and enter into Permitted Leasehold Mortgages in the same manner as the original Tenant, subject to the terms hereof.
(vi)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Master Lease, any sale of this Master Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created in any proceedings for the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, or the assignment or transfer of this Master Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created in lieu of the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, shall be deemed to be a permitted sale, transfer or assignment of this Master Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created to the extent that the successor tenant under this Master Lease is a Discretionary Transferee and the transfer otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 22.2(iii) of this Master Lease or the transferee is reasonably consented to by Landlord in accordance with Section 22.2(i) hereof.
(f)New Lease.  In the event of the termination of this Master Lease other than due to a default as to which the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee had the opportunity (without legal impediment) to, but did not, cure the default as set forth in Sections 17.1(d) and 17.1(e) above, including pursuant to the disaffirmance or rejection of this Master Lease by Tenant in a bankruptcy, Landlord shall provide each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee with written notice that this Master Lease has been terminated (“Notice of Termination”), together with a statement of all sums which would at that time be due under this Master Lease but for such termination, and of all other defaults, if any, then known to Landlord.  Landlord agrees to enter into a new lease (“New Lease”) of the Leased Property with such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee (in each case if a Discretionary Transferee) or any other transferee permitted to be assigned this Master Lease without consent of the Landlord pursuant to Section 22.2(iii)(d), for the remainder of the term of this Master Lease, effective as of the date of termination, at the rent and additional rent, and upon the terms, covenants and conditions (including all options to renew but excluding requirements which have already been fulfilled) of this Master Lease, provided:
(i)Such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall make a binding, written, irrevocable commitment to Landlord for such New Lease within thirty (30) days after the date such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee receives Landlord’s Notice of Termination of this Master Lease given pursuant to this Section 17.1(f);
(ii)Such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord at the time of the execution and delivery of such New Lease, any and all sums which would at the time of execution and delivery thereof be due pursuant to this Master Lease but for such termination and, in addition thereto, all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which Landlord shall have incurred by 
60
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






reason of such termination and the execution and delivery of the New Lease and which have not otherwise been received by Landlord from Tenant or other party in interest under Tenant; and
(iii)Such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall agree to remedy any of Tenant’s defaults of which said Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee was notified by Landlord’s Notice of Termination (or in any subsequent notice) and which can be cured through the payment of money or are reasonably susceptible of being cured by Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee.
(g)New Lease Priorities.  If more than one Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall request a New Lease pursuant to subsection (f)(i) of this Section 17.1, Landlord shall enter into such New Lease with the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee whose mortgage is senior in lien, or with its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee acting for the benefit of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee prior in lien foreclosing on Tenant’s interest in this Master Lease.  Landlord, without liability to Tenant or any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee with an adverse claim, may rely upon a title insurance policy issued by a reputable title insurance company as the basis for determining the appropriate Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee who is entitled to such New Lease.
(h)Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Need Not Cure Specified Defaults.  Nothing herein contained shall require any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as a condition to its exercise of the right hereunder to cure any default of Tenant not reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee (including but not limited to the default referred to in Section 16.1(c), (d), (e), (f) (if the levy or attachment is in favor of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (provided such levy is extinguished upon foreclosure or similar proceeding or in a transfer in lieu of any such foreclosure) or is junior to the lien of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and would be extinguished by the foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee), (m) (as related to the Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is junior to the lien of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and such junior lien would be extinguished by the foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) or (o) (if the judgment is in favor of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee other than a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee holding a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is senior to the lien of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) and any other sections of this Master Lease which may impose conditions of default not susceptible to being cured by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or a subsequent owner of the Leasehold Estate through foreclosure hereof), in order to comply with the provisions of Sections 17.1(d) and 17.1(e), or as a condition of entering into the New Lease provided for by Section 17.1(f).
(i)Casualty Loss.  A standard mortgagee clause naming each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b) hereof may be added to any and all insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant hereunder on condition that the insurance proceeds are to be applied in the manner specified in this Master Lease and the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall so provide; except that the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage may provide a manner for the disposition of such proceeds, if any, otherwise payable directly to the Tenant (but not such proceeds, if any, payable jointly to the Landlord and the Tenant or to the Landlord, to the Facility Mortgagee or to a third-party escrowee) pursuant to the provisions of this Master Lease.
(j)Arbitration; Legal Proceedings.  Landlord shall give prompt notice to each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b) hereof) of any arbitration or legal proceedings between Landlord and Tenant involving obligations under this Master Lease.
61
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






(k)No Merger.  The fee title to the Leased Property and the Leasehold Estate of Tenant therein created by this Master Lease shall not merge but shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the acquisition of said fee title and said Leasehold Estate by Landlord or by Tenant or by a third party, by purchase or otherwise.
(l)    Notices.  Notices from Landlord to the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b) hereof shall be provided in the method provided in Section 35.1 hereof to the address or fax number furnished Landlord pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 17.1, and those from the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee to Landlord shall be mailed to the address designated pursuant to the provisions of Section 35.1 hereof.  Such notices, demands and requests shall be given in the manner described in this Section 17.1 and in Section 35.1 and shall in all respects be governed by the provisions of those sections.
(m)    Limitation of Liability.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, (i) Landlord agrees that any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s liability to Landlord in its capacity as Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee hereunder howsoever arising shall be limited to and enforceable only against such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s interest in the Leasehold Estate and such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s interest in such other collateral granted to such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee to secure the obligations under its Debt Agreement to the extent such other collateral is acquired by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee by foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure; provided, however, if necessary to satisfy the Landlord’s claim the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall use diligent efforts to foreclose or acquire by a deed in lieu of such foreclosure such other collateral granted to such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, and (ii) each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee agrees that Landlord’s liability to such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee hereunder howsoever arising shall be limited to and enforceable only against Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property, and no recourse against Landlord shall be had against any other assets of Landlord whatsoever.
(n)    Sale Procedure.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b) hereof with the most senior lien on the Leasehold Estate shall have the right to make all determinations and agreements on behalf of Tenant under Article XXXVI (including, without limitation, requesting that the sale process described in Article XXXVI be commenced, the determination and agreement of the Gaming Assets FMV, the Successor Tenant Rent, and the potential Successor Tenants that should be included in the process, and negotiation with such Successor Tenants), in each case, in accordance with and subject to the terms and provisions of Article XXXVI, including without limitation the requirement that Successor Tenant meet the qualifications of Discretionary Transferee.
(o)    Third Party Beneficiary.  Each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (for so long as such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee holds a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage) is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Article XVII entitled to enforce the same as if a party to this Master Lease.
1.2Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default. If Tenant shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder when due or within any cure period provided for herein, Landlord, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may, but shall be under no obligation to, upon prior written notice to Tenant specifying the default to be cured and that it is curing such default under this Section 17.2 make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor.  No such entry shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant.  All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs and 
62
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand as an Additional Charge.
1.3Landlord’s Right to Cure Debt Agreement. Tenant agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to include in any agreement related to Material Indebtedness and any Debt Agreement (or the principal or controlling agreement relating to such Material Indebtedness or series of related Debt Agreements) obtained by or entered into by Tenant after the Commencement Date a provision requiring the lender or lenders thereunder (or the Representatives of such lenders) to provide a copy to Landlord of any notices issued by such lender or lenders thereunder or the Representative of such lenders to Tenant of a Specified Debt Agreement Default.  In addition, Tenant agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to include in any such agreement related to Material Indebtedness and any Debt Agreement (or the principal or controlling agreement relating to such Material Indebtedness or series of related Debt Agreements) a provision with the effect that should Tenant shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act required to be made or performed under an agreement related to Material Indebtedness or under the Debt Agreement when due or within any cure period provided for therein (if any), Landlord may, subject to applicable Gaming Regulations and the terms hereof, upon prior written notice to Tenant specifying the default and that it is curing such default under this Section 17.3, cure any such default by making such payment to the applicable lenders or Representative or otherwise performing such acts within the cure period thereunder (if any) for the account of Tenant, to the extent such default is susceptible to cure by Landlord; provided that Landlord’s right to cure such default shall not be any greater than the rights of the obligors under such Material Indebtedness or Debt Agreement to cure such default.  Landlord and Tenant agree that all sums so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord, shall be for the account of Tenant and paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand.
ARTICLE XVIII
1.1Sale of the Leased Property. Landlord shall not voluntarily sell all or portions of the Leased Property (including via entering into a merger transaction) during the Term without the prior written consent of Tenant, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s consent shall not be required for (A) any transfer to a Facility Mortgagee contemplated under Article XXXI hereof which may include, without limitation, a transfer by foreclosure brought by the Facility Mortgagee or a transfer by deed in lieu of foreclosure (and the first subsequent sale by such Facility Mortgagee to the extent the Facility Mortgagee has been diligently attempting to expedite such first subsequent sale from the time it initiated foreclosure proceedings taking into account the interest of such Facility Mortgagee to maximize the proceeds of such sale), (B) a sale by Landlord of all of the Leased Property to a single buyer or group of buyers, other than to an operator, or an Affiliate of such an operator, of Gaming Facilities (provided that Landlord shall be permitted to sell all of the Leased Property to a real estate investment trust even if such real estate investment trust is an Affiliate of such an operator), (C) a merger transaction or sale by Landlord or GLP involving all of the Facilities, other than with an operator, or an Affiliate of an operator, of Gaming Facilities (provided that Landlord or GLP shall be permitted to merge with or sell all of the Leased Property to a real estate investment trust even if such real estate investment trust is an Affiliate of an operator), (D) a sale/leaseback transaction by Landlord with respect to any or all of the Leased Properties for financing purposes, (E) any sale of all or a portion of the Leased Property or the Facilities that does not change the identity of the Landlord hereunder, including without limitation a participating interest in Landlord’s interest under this Master Lease or a sale of Landlord’s reversionary interest in the Leased Property, or (F) a sale or transfer to an Affiliate of

GLP or a joint venture entity in which GLP or its Affiliate is the managing member or partner.  Any sale by Landlord of all or any portion of the Leased Property pursuant to this Section 18.1 shall be subject in each instance to all of the rights of Tenant under this Master Lease and, to the extent necessary, any purchaser or successor Landlord and/or other controlling persons must be approved by all applicable gaming regulatory agencies to ensure that there is no material impact on the validity of any of the Gaming Licenses or the ability of Tenant to continue to use the Facilities for gaming activities in substantially the same manner as immediately prior to Landlord’s sale.
ARTICLE XIX
1.1Holding Over. If Tenant shall for any reason remain in possession of the Leased Property of a Facility after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the consent, or other than at the request, of Landlord, such possession shall be as a month-to-month tenant during which time Tenant shall pay as Rent each month the monthly Rent applicable to the prior Lease Year for such Facility multiplied by (A) 150% for the first three months of such holdover and (B) 200% for any succeeding months of such holdover, together with all Additional Charges and all other sums payable by Tenant pursuant to this Master Lease.  During such period of month-to-month tenancy, Tenant shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Master Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other than the right, to the extent given by law to month-to-month tenancies, to continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property of, and/or any Tenant Capital Improvements to, such Facility.  Nothing contained herein shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Landlord to the holding over of Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Master Lease.
ARTICLE XX
1.1Risk of Loss. The risk of loss or of decrease in the enjoyment and beneficial use of the Leased Property as a consequence of the damage or destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or otherwise, or in consequence of foreclosures, attachments, levies or executions (other than by Landlord and Persons claiming from, through or under Landlord) is assumed by Tenant, and except as otherwise provided herein no such event shall entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent.
ARTICLE XXI
1.1General Indemnification. In addition to the other indemnities contained herein, and notwithstanding the existence of any insurance carried by or for the benefit of Landlord or Tenant, and without regard to the policy limits of any such insurance, Tenant shall protect, indemnify, save harmless and defend Landlord from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord by reason of:  (i) except to the extent caused solely as a result of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, any accident, injury to or death of Persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Leased Property or adjoining sidewalks under the control of Tenant; (ii) any use, misuse, non-use, condition, maintenance or repair by Tenant of the Leased Property; (iii) any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Master Lease (notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 1.2(a) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement); (iv) the non-performance of any of the terms and provisions of any and all existing and future subleases of the Leased Property to be performed by any party thereunder; (v) any claim for malpractice, negligence or misconduct

committed by any Person on or working from the Leased Property; and (vi) the violation by Tenant of any Legal Requirement (notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 1.2(d) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement).  Any amounts which become payable by Tenant under this Article XXI shall be paid within ten (10) days after liability therefor is determined by a final non appealable judgment or settlement or other agreement of the parties, and if not timely paid shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date of such determination to the date of payment.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against Landlord.  For purposes of this Article XXI, any acts or omissions of Tenant, or by employees, agents, assignees, contractors, subcontractors or others acting for or on behalf of Tenant (whether or not they are negligent, intentional, willful or unlawful), shall be strictly attributable to Tenant.
ARTICLE XXII
1.1Subletting and Assignment. Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which, except as specifically set forth herein, may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, voluntarily or by operation of law assign (which term includes any transfer, sale, encumbering, pledge or other transfer or hypothecation) this Master Lease, sublet all or any part of the Leased Property of any Facility or engage the services of any Person (other than an Affiliate of Tenant that becomes or is also a Guarantor) for the management or operation of any Facility (provided that the foregoing shall not restrict a transferee of Tenant from retaining a manager necessary for such transferee’s satisfying the requirement set forth in clause (a)(1) of the definition of “Discretionary Transferee”).  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is relying upon the expertise of Tenant in the operation of the Facilities and that Landlord entered into this Master Lease with the expectation that Tenant would remain in and operate such Facilities during the entire Term and for that reason, except as set forth herein, Landlord retains sole and absolute discretion in approving or disapproving any assignment or sublease.  Any Change in Control shall constitute an assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Master Lease within the meaning of this Article XXII and the provisions requiring consent contained herein shall apply.
1.2Permitted Assignments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 40.1, Tenant may:
(i)with Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, allow to occur or undergo a Change in Control  (including without limitation a transfer or assignment of this Master Lease to any third party in conjunction with a sale by Tenant of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets relating to the Facilities);

66
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Mortgagee Designee has been diligently attempting to expedite such first subsequent sale from the time it has initiated foreclosure proceedings taking into account the interest of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee in maximizing the proceeds of such disposition if (1) such Person is a Discretionary Transferee, (2) in the case of any Foreclosure Assignment, if such Discretionary Transferee is not a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee such Discretionary Transferee agrees in writing to assume the obligations of the Tenant under this Master Lease without amendment or modification other than as provided below (which written assumption, in the case of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Foreclosing Party, may be made by a Subsidiary of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee) and (3) if such Discretionary Transferee is not a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Foreclosing Party, the Parent Company of such Discretionary Transferee, if any, has become a Guarantor and provided a Guaranty on terms substantially similar to the Guaranty or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Landlord or, if such Discretionary Transferee does not have a Parent Company, such Discretionary Transferee has become a Guarantor and provided a Guaranty on terms substantially similar to the Guaranty or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
provided that no such Change in Control or assignment referred to in this Section 22.2(iii) shall be permitted without Landlord’s prior written consent unless, and in which case such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (A) the use of the Leased Property at the time of such Change in Control or assignment and immediately after giving effect thereto is permitted by Section 7.2 hereof, and (B) Landlord in its reasonable discretion shall have approved the form and content of all documents for such assignment and assumption and received an executed counterpart thereof (provided no such approval shall be required in the case of a Tenant Parent COC or a Tenant COC, so long as (A) Tenant remains obligated under the Master Lease and the Guaranty remains in effect except with respect to any release of Tenant’s Parent permitted thereunder, (B) the requirements for a Guaranty from the Parent Company or Discretionary Transferee under clause (a) or (b) above are met, and (C) any modifications to this Master Lease required pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph are made); and
(iv)without Landlord’s prior written consent, pledge or mortgage its Leasehold Estate to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and permit a pledge of the equity interests in Tenant to be pledged to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.
Upon the effectiveness of any Change in Control or assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 22.2), such Discretionary Transferee (and, if applicable, its Parent Company) and Landlord shall make such amendments and other modifications to this Master Lease as are reasonably requested by either party to give effect to such Change in Control or assignment and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of such requesting party in connection with such Change in Control or assignment including, without limitation, changes to the definition of Change in Control to substitute the Parent Company (or, if the Discretionary Transferee does not have a Parent Company, the Discretionary Transferee) for Tenant’s Parent therein and in the provisions of this Master Lease regarding delivery of financial statements and other reporting requirements with respect to Tenant’s Parent.  After giving effect to any such Change in Control or assignment, unless the context otherwise requires, references to Tenant and Tenant’s Parent hereunder shall be deemed to refer to the Discretionary Transferee or its Parent Company, as applicable.
1.3Permitted Sublease Agreements. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 22.1, but subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 22.3 and of 
67
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Section 40.1, (a) provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Tenant shall be permitted to sublease gaming operations to a wholly-owned Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor by executing the Guaranty in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (b) the Specified Subleases shall be permitted without any further consent from Landlord, and (c) provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Tenant may enter into any sublease agreement (including any management agreement or similar agreements with sports betting and/or online gaming operators) with respect to all or any portion (including any portion used for gaming purposes) of any Facility without the prior written consent of Landlord, provided, further that, (i) all sublease agreements under this Section 22.3 are made in furtherance of the Primary Intended Use, except with respect to the Specified Subleases; and (ii) any sublease with respect to all or substantially all of any Facility shall be subject to the prior written consent of Landlord (in its sole discretion) unless, subject to the further requirements set forth in the final paragraph of this Section 22.3, as of the date on which Tenant intends to enter into any Permitted Facility Sublease, the Facility Adjusted Revenue of Tenant generated by such Facility when taken together with the Facility Adjusted Revenue of Tenant for all other Facilities subject to a Permitted Facility Sublease at the time of entry into such sublease, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Permitted Facility Sublease Cap Amount.  After an Event of Default has occurred and while it is continuing, Landlord may collect rents from any subtenant and apply the net amount collected to the Rent, but no such collection shall be deemed (i) a waiver by Landlord of any of the provisions of this Master Lease, (ii) the acceptance by Landlord of such subtenant as a tenant or (iii) a release of Tenant from the future performance of its obligations hereunder.  If reasonably requested by Tenant in connection with a sublease permitted under clause (c) above, Landlord and such sublessee shall enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with respect to such sublease in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (and if a Facility Mortgage is then in effect, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Facility Mortgagee to enter into such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement).
Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before entering into any Permitted Facility Sublease, which notice shall be accompanied by the proposed form of such Permitted Facility Sublease.  In addition, Tenant shall furnish Landlord reasonably promptly with such materials as Landlord may reasonably request in order to determine that the requirements of this Section 22.3 with respect to such Permitted Facility Sublease are satisfied.  Reasonably promptly following entry into any such Permitted Facility Sublease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the executed Permitted Facility Sublease, and Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of any amendments of, or supplements to, any Permitted Facility Sublease with reasonable promptness after the execution thereof.
1.4Required Assignment and Subletting Provisions. Any assignment and/or sublease (excluding a Specified Sublease until such Specified Sublease is amended or modified, in which case such amendment or modification shall incorporate the requirements of Section 22.4) must provide that:
(i)in the case of a sublease, it shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of this Master Lease;
(ii)the use of the applicable Facility (or portion thereof) shall not conflict with any Legal Requirement or any other provision of this Master Lease;
(iii)except as otherwise provided herein, no subtenant or assignee shall be permitted to further sublet all or any part of the applicable Leased Property or assign this Master Lease or its sublease except insofar as the same would be permitted if it were a sublease by Tenant under this Master Lease (it being understood that any subtenant under Section 22.3(a) 
68
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






may pledge and mortgage its subleasehold estate (or allow the pledge of its equity interests) to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee);
(iv)in the case of a sublease, in the event of cancellation or termination of this Master Lease for any reason whatsoever or of the surrender of this Master Lease (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) prior to the expiration date of such sublease, including extensions and renewals granted thereunder, then, subject to Article XXXVI, at Landlord’s option, the subtenant shall make full and complete attornment to Landlord for the balance of the term of the sublease, which attornment shall be evidenced by an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord and which the subtenant shall execute and deliver within five (5) days after request by Landlord and the subtenant shall waive the provisions of any law now or hereafter in effect which may give the subtenant any right of election to terminate the sublease or to surrender possession in the event any proceeding is brought by Landlord to terminate this Master Lease; and
(v)in the event the subtenant receives a written notice from Landlord stating that this Master Lease has been cancelled, surrendered or terminated, then, subject to Article XXXVI, the subtenant shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under said sublease directly to Landlord (or as Landlord shall so direct); all rentals received from the subtenant by Landlord shall be credited against the amounts owing by Tenant under this Master Lease.
1.5Costs. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred after the Commencement Date in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any assignment, subletting or management arrangement, including reasonable attorneys’, architects’, engineers’ or other consultants’ fees whether or not such sublease, assignment or management agreement is actually consummated.
1.6No Release of Tenant’s Obligations; Exception. No assignment (other than a permitted transfer pursuant to Section 22.2(i) or Section 22.2(iii)(c) or Section 22.2(iii)(d)(1) or Section 22.2(iii)(d)(3), in connection with a sale or assignment of the Leasehold Estate), subletting or management agreement shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the Rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.  The liability of Tenant and any immediate and remote successor in interest of Tenant (by assignment or otherwise), and the due performance of the obligations of this Master Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed, shall not in any way be discharged, released or impaired by any (i) stipulation which extends the time within which an obligation under this Master Lease is to be performed, (ii) waiver of the performance of an obligation required under this Master Lease that is not entered into for the benefit of Tenant or such successor, or (iii) failure to enforce any of the obligations set forth in this Master Lease, provided that Tenant shall not be responsible for any additional obligations or liability arising as the result of any modification or amendment of this Master Lease by Landlord and any assignee of Tenant that is not an Affiliate of Tenant.
1.7Replacement Property Transaction.
(a)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, but not limited to, Section 22.1) and subject to no Event of Default having occurred and being continuing at such time of delivering any Replacement Property Transaction Notice, Tenant shall have the right, at any time, and from time to time, prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Date, to exercise the Replacement Property Right in accordance with the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 22.7. 
(b)In order to exercise the Replacement Property Right, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a written notice (the “Replacement Property Transaction Notice”) of Tenant’s 
69
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






election to exercise the Replacement Property Right, which (as a condition to the effectiveness of such Replacement Property Transaction Notice) shall set forth all material information with respect to the proposed Replacement Property Transaction, including, without limitation, (i) the proposed Replacement Property and the Replaced Property, (ii) the proposed Replaced Property Transferee, (iii) the proposed closing date of the Replacement Property Transaction, which date shall be not less than sixty (60) days after the date of such Replacement Property Transaction Notice, and (iv) the proposed Replacement Exchange Agreement and Replacement Property Lease Amendment.  Promptly upon Landlord’s reasonable request therefor, Tenant shall provide to Landlord additional information reasonably related to the proposed Replacement Property Transaction, to the extent such information is reasonably available to Tenant.
(c)Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of a Replacement Property Transaction Notice, Landlord shall (i) provide its commercially reasonable comments or revisions (unless such comments or revisions are necessary to cause the Replacement Exchange Agreement and/or Replacement Property Lease Amendment to satisfy the requirements of this Master Lease, in which case such comments may be made regardless as to whether such comments are otherwise “commercially reasonable”) to the proposed Replacement Exchange Agreement and/or the Replacement Property Lease Amendment, which shall be attached as an exhibit to the Replacement Exchange Agreement, (ii) advise Tenant as to whether the proposed Replacement Property meets the requirements under this Section 22.7 and the definition of “Replacement Property”, and if the Replacement Property does not meet such requirements the reasons therefor, and (iii) advise Tenant as to whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing thereby prohibiting Tenant from exercising its Replacement Property Right (in which case Landlord shall have no obligation to proceed with a Replacement Property Transaction until Tenant cures such Event of Default to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction).  Subject to no Event of Default having occurred and being continuing, Landlord and Tenant shall thereafter negotiate in good faith to reconcile any applicable issues(s) and use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into the Replacement Exchange Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
(d)In the event the Property Value of the Replacement Property is greater than the Property Value of the Replaced Property (it being understood that in no event shall the Landlord be obligated to engage in a Replacement Property Transaction if the Property Value of the Replacement Property (in the aggregate) is less than the Property Value of the Replaced Property), then upon the consummation of the closing under the Replacement Exchange Agreement and entry into the Replacement Property Lease Amendment (i) Landlord shall pay to Tenant in cash an amount equal to such excess and (ii) Building Base Rent and Land Base Rent under this Master Lease shall increase by an annual amount equal to one-eleventh of such excess, with such increase being split between Building Base Rent and Land Base Rent in the same proportion as Building Base Rent and Land Base Rent bear to one another at the time the Replacement Property Lease Amendment is executed.  In the event that the Property Value of the Replacement Property is equal to the Property Value of the Replaced Property, then there shall be no payment from Landlord to Tenant on account thereof and there shall be no adjustment to the amount of Rent due from Tenant under this Master Lease.
(e)The consummation of the closing under the Replacement Exchange Agreement shall be subject to obtaining all Required Governmental Approvals by Tenant, 
70
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Landlord and/or the Replaced Property Transferee (and each of their respective applicable Affiliates) in accordance with applicable law (including applicable Gaming Regulations).  Each of Landlord and Tenant shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (a) file or cause to be filed, as promptly as practicable, and in any event no later than ten (10) days, following the date on which Landlord and Tenant execute such Replacement Exchange Agreement, all applications and supporting documentation necessary to obtain all Required Governmental Approvals for the Replacement Property Transaction, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts in order to obtain such Required Governmental Approvals as promptly as practicable, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts in order to assist the other party in its efforts to obtain such Required Governmental Approvals as promptly as practicable.  Landlord, at no cost or expense to Landlord, agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Regulatory Approval Supporting Information that is reasonably requested by Tenant in connection with the Replacement Property Transaction, in Tenant’s efforts to obtain any Required Governmental Approvals.
(f)Upon the consummation of the closing under the Replacement Exchange Agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall execute the Replacement Property Lease Amendment, and upon the execution of the Replacement Property Lease Amendment, this Master Lease shall terminate with respect to the Replaced Property, the Replaced Property shall cease to constitute Leased Property hereunder, neither Tenant nor Landlord shall have any further liabilities or obligations under this Master Lease, from and after the consummation of the closing under the Replacement Exchange Agreement, in respect of the Replaced Property, and the Guaranty shall automatically, and without further action by any party, cease to apply with respect to any Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) with respect to the Replaced Property to the extent arising from and after the consummation of the closing under the Replacement Exchange Agreement and the execution of the Replacement Property Lease Amendment (provided that any such Obligations arising prior to such closing date shall not be terminated, limited or affected by or upon the closing under the Replacement Exchange Agreement).
(g)Upon the consummation of the closing under the Replacement Exchange Agreement and the entry into the Replacement Property Lease Amendment, this Master Lease shall apply to the Replacement Property, the Replacement Property shall constitute Leased Property and a Facility hereunder, each of Tenant’s and Landlord’s obligations under this Master Lease in respect of the Leased Property and the Facilities shall apply to the Replacement Property, and the Guaranty shall automatically, and without further action by any party, apply with respect to any Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) with respect to the Replacement Property to the extent arising from and after the consummation of the closing under the Replacement Exchange Agreement.
(h)Each of Tenant and Landlord (at no cost or expense to Landlord) shall furnish to the other party Regulatory Approval Supporting Information and reasonable assistance as such party may reasonably request in connection with obtaining the Required Governmental Approvals.  Subject to Section 23.2 and applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, outside counsel for Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each party shall consult with the other in connection with, all of the information relating to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, and any of their respective subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Person 
71
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






and/or any governmental authority in connection with the Replacement Property Transaction; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to applications made with respect to Gaming Licenses and other gaming approvals required under applicable Gaming Regulations that include personal identifying information or other similarly sensitive information (as reasonably determined by such party in good faith).  In exercising the foregoing rights, each of Landlord and Tenant shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.  Subject to applicable law and the instructions of any governmental authority, Landlord and Tenant shall keep the other party reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Replacement Property Transaction, including promptly furnishing the other party with copies of notices or other written substantive communications received from any governmental authority and/or other Person with respect to the Replacement Property Transaction and, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, shall provide the other party with the opportunity to participate in any meeting with any governmental authority in respect of any substantive filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the Replacement Property Transaction.
(i)If Tenant exercises the Replacement Property Right, Tenant and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate the Replacement Property Transaction and minimize all costs, fees (including consent fees), taxes and expenses incurred by Tenant and Landlord in consummating the Replacement Property Transaction.  All reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to an exercise of the Replacement Property Right and/or otherwise in connection with any transfer or proposed transfer pursuant to this Section 22.7 (including reasonable, documented attorneys’ fees and other reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord for outside counsel, if any) shall be borne by Tenant and not Landlord.
1.8Baton Rouge Transfer.  
(a)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary (including, but not limited to, Section 22.1) and subject to no Event of Default having occurred and being continuing at the time of exercise, Tenant shall have the right to assign and sell Tenant’s entire Leasehold Estate in the Baton Rouge Facility or Tenant’s entire Equity Interest in any Subsidiary that owns the Gaming License applicable to the Baton Rouge Facility and operates the Baton Rouge Facility (a “Baton Rouge Transfer”) to a Person (a “Baton Rouge Transferee”) designated by Tenant (in its sole discretion) in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Section 22.8.  In the event Tenant desires to effectuate a Baton Rouge Transfer, Tenant shall deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (a “Baton Rouge Transfer Notice”), which notice shall specify (i) in reasonable detail the nature of the Baton Rouge Transfer, (ii) the proposed closing date of such Baton Rouge Transfer, which closing date shall be not less than sixty (60) days after the date of such Baton Rouge Transfer Notice, (iii) the identity of the Baton Rouge Transferee and such information as is reasonably necessary to determine the Baton Rouge Transferee’s experience operating Gaming Facilities and creditworthiness, (iv) the proposed form of the Baton Rouge Severance Lease and Replacement Guaranty (if required hereunder), and (v) the proposed fair market value of the Baton Rouge Facility. 
72
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






(b)Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of a Baton Rouge Transfer Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant as to whether Landlord shall sell its fee interest in the Baton Rouge Facility to the Baton Rouge Transferee (a “Baton Rouge Sale”) for a price determined in accordance with this Section 22.8(b) (the “Baton Rouge Purchase Price”) (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall Tenant be liable for any portion of the Baton Rouge Purchase Price and that Tenant may retract the Baton Rouge Transfer Notice prior to Landlord’s execution of the Baton Rouge Purchase Agreement (defined below) if the final determination of the Baton Rouge Purchase Price could reasonably be expected to cause the amount to be paid by the Baton Rouge Transferee for the Baton Rouge Transfer to be less than Tenant’s share of the costs to consummate the Baton Rouge Transfer) or will retain its fee interest in the Baton Rouge Facility and will enter into a Baton Rouge Severance Lease with the Baton Rouge Transferee.  In the event that Landlord does not respond within such fifteen (15) day period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to enter into a Baton Rouge Severance Lease in accordance with Section 28.8(c) below.  In the event Landlord elects to sell its fee interest in the Baton Rouge Facility, then Tenant shall cause the Baton Rouge Transferee to acquire Landlord’s fee interest in the Baton Rouge Facility pursuant to the terms hereof.  Landlord, Tenant and the Baton Rouge Transferee shall negotiate the Baton Rouge Purchase Price and if the parties cannot agree on a Baton Rouge Purchase Price within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s election to effectuate a Baton Rouge Sale, then an Expert shall determine the fair market value of Landlord’s fee interest in the Baton Rouge Facility in accordance with Section 34.1 of this Master Lease, and such determination shall be the Baton Rouge Purchase Price.  Upon determining the Baton Rouge Purchase Price, Landlord shall enter into a purchase agreement (a “Baton Rouge Purchase Agreement”) with the Baton Rouge Transferee, which shall be in form satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion, and which shall provide: (i) the closing date of the Baton Rouge Sale shall occur concurrently with the closing of the Baton Rouge Transfer, (ii) on the Baton Rouge Transfer Date, Landlord shall convey its fee interest to the Baton Rouge Transferee free and clear of (1) all monetary liens and encumbrances voluntarily created or entered into by Landlord and (2) except for any liens that did not require Tenant’s consent under this Master Lease, all other liens and encumbrances voluntarily created or entered into by Landlord without Tenant’s prior written consent, (iii) Landlord shall provide only the following limited representations and warranties to the Baton Rouge Transferee: (a) due authority and execution, (b)  no conflict with the organizational documents of Landlord or any other agreement or judgment to which Landlord is a party, (c) Patriot Act and OFAC, (d) bankruptcy, and (e) Landlord has not entered into any contract, easement or other agreement, which will be binding on the Baton Rouge Transferee after the closing of the Baton Rouge Sale, except for those contracts, easements or other agreements that are disclosed in any title report or in this Master Lease (it being understood that any property related representations and warranties requested by the Baton Rouge Transferee and any post-closing indemnification obligations related thereto shall be provided solely by Tenant).  At the closing of the Baton Rouge Sale, (i) Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Baton Rouge Lease Amendment, (ii) Landlord shall receive the net proceeds of the Baton Rouge Sale and (iii) Tenant shall receive the net proceeds of the Baton Rouge Transfer. 
(c)In the event that Landlord does not elect to proceed with a Baton Rouge Sale, at the closing of any Baton Rouge Transfer, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Baton Rouge Lease Amendment and Tenant shall cause the Baton Rouge Transferee to deliver a 
73
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Replacement Guaranty (if required hereunder) and enter into a Baton Rouge Severance Lease with Landlord, in accordance with the following:
(i)At the closing of the Baton Rouge Transfer, Landlord shall enter into a separate lease for the Baton Rouge Facility with the Baton Rouge Transferee, which lease shall be on substantially the same terms and provisions as this Master Lease (a “Baton Rouge Severance Lease”), subject to the following modifications:  
(A)The term of the Baton Rouge Severance Lease shall be the Baton Rouge Severance Lease Term determined in accordance with the definition thereof;  
(B)The rent initially payable under the Baton Rouge Severance Lease as of the Baton Rouge Transfer Date will be equal to the Baton Rouge Severance Lease Rent, and shall thereafter be subject to escalation and adjustment consistent with the provisions of this Master Lease (as if this Master Lease shall have commenced on the Baton Rouge Transfer Date), modified to reflect that the rent payable under the Baton Rouge Severance Lease will be calculated on a stand-alone basis with respect to the Baton Rouge Facility only;
(C)The Baton Rouge Severance Lease shall contain minimum capital expenditure requirements consistent with the capital expenditure requirements in Section 9.1(e) of this Master Lease, modified to reflect that such minimum capital expenditure requirements will apply to the Baton Rouge Severance Lease on a stand-alone basis; and
(D)    Sections 22.7 and 22.8 of this Master Lease shall be omitted in their entirety from the Baton Rouge Severance Lease and Section 22.3 in the Baton Rouge Severance Lease shall be consistent with the Section 22.3 of the Original Master Lease.
(ii)As a condition to the effectiveness of any Baton Rouge Transfer (except in the event Landlord has elected to proceed with a Baton Rouge Sale in accordance with Section 22.8(b) above), Tenant shall require and cause the Parent Company of such Baton Rouge Transferee, or if such Baton Rouge Transferee does not have a Parent Company, the Baton Rouge Transferee, to deliver to Landlord a Replacement Guaranty; provided, however, if as of the Baton Rouge Transfer Date such Baton Rouge Transferee, the Parent Company of such Baton Rouge Transferee or any of their respective Affiliates is the tenant under any lease under which Landlord or any of its Affiliates is the landlord and any such lease does not require the tenant or the Parent Company of the tenant thereunder to have delivered a guaranty of such lease, then neither the Parent Company of such Baton Rouge Transferee nor the Baton Rouge Transferee shall be required to deliver a Replacement Guaranty with respect to the Baton Rouge Severance Lease.
(iii)If Landlord has any comments or revisions that are commercially reasonable or required to cause the proposed Baton Rouge Severance Lease and/or the Baton Rouge Lease Amendment to comply with the provisions of this Master Lease, then Landlord shall notify Tenant thereof within fifteen (15)  days after Landlord’s receipt of the proposed Baton Rouge Severance Lease and the Baton Rouge Lease Amendment.  In such event, Tenant and Landlord shall negotiate in good faith to reconcile the applicable issue(s) and use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into, and cause the Baton Rouge Transferee and its Parent Company to enter into, the Baton Rouge Lease Amendment, the Baton Rouge Severance Lease and a Replacement Guaranty (if required hereunder), as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

(iv)Upon the execution and delivery of the Baton Rouge Severance Lease, the Baton Rouge Lease Amendment and the Replacement Guaranty (if applicable) in accordance with this Section 22.8, this Master Lease shall be terminated with respect to the Baton Rouge Facility, the Baton Rouge Facility shall cease to constitute Leased Property hereunder, neither Tenant nor Landlord shall have any further liabilities or obligations under this Master Lease, from and after the Baton Rouge Transfer Date, with respect to the Baton Rouge Facility, and the Guaranty shall automatically, and without further action by any party, cease to apply with respect to any Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty) with respect to the Baton Rouge Facility to the extent arising from and after the Baton Rouge Transfer Date (provided that any such Obligations arising prior to the Baton Rouge Transfer Date shall not be terminated, limited or affected by or upon entry into the Baton Rouge Severance Lease or the Baton Rouge Lease Amendment).  Landlord and Tenant expressly acknowledge and agree that (a) there shall be no reduction in the Rent under this Master Lease as a result of the removal of the Baton Rouge Facility from this Master Lease or otherwise as a result of a Baton Rouge Transfer or a Baton Rouge Sale and (b) Tenant shall be entitled to all of the proceeds from any Baton Rouge Transfer (excluding any proceeds attributable to a Baton Rouge Sale).
(v)The execution and implementation of the Baton Rouge Transfer and/or Baton Rouge Sale shall be subject to obtaining all Required Governmental Approvals by Tenant and/or the Baton Rouge Transferee (and each of their respective applicable Affiliates) in accordance with applicable law (including applicable Gaming Regulations).  Each of Landlord and Tenant shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, (a) file or cause to be filed, as promptly as practicable, and in any event no later than ten (10) days, following the date on which Landlord and Tenant agree on the form of the Baton Rouge Severance Lease or a Baton Rouge Purchase Agreement, as applicable, all applications and supporting documentation necessary to obtain all Required Governmental Approvals for the Baton Rouge Severance Lease, the Baton Rouge Transfer and/or the Baton Rouge Sale, as applicable, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts in order to obtain such Required Governmental Approvals as promptly as practicable, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts in order to assist the other party in its efforts to obtain such Required Governmental Approvals as promptly as practicable.  Landlord, at no cost or expense to Landlord, agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Regulatory Approval Supporting Information that is reasonably requested by Tenant in connection with the Baton Rouge Transfer and/or Baton Rouge Sale, in Tenant’s or the Baton Rouge Transferee’s efforts to obtain any Required Governmental Approvals.
(vi)Each of Tenant and Landlord shall furnish to the other party Regulatory Approval Supporting Information and reasonable assistance as such party may reasonably request in connection with obtaining the Required Governmental Approvals.  Subject to Section 23.2 and applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, outside counsel for Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each party shall consult with the other in connection with, all of the information relating to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, and any of their respective subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Person and/or any governmental authority in connection with the Baton Rouge Transfer or a Baton Rouge Sale; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to applications made with respect to Gaming Licenses and other gaming approvals required under applicable Gaming Regulations that include personal identifying information or other similarly sensitive information (as reasonably determined by such party in good faith).  In exercising the foregoing rights, each of Landlord and Tenant shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.  Subject to applicable law and the instructions of any governmental authority, Landlord and Tenant shall keep the other party reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Baton Rouge Transfer and/or Baton Rouge Sale, including promptly furnishing the other party with copies of notices or other written substantive communications received from any governmental authority and/or other Person with respect to the Baton Rouge Transfer and/or Baton Rouge Sale and, to the extent practicable 
75
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






under the circumstances, shall provide the other party with the opportunity to participate in any meeting with any governmental authority in respect of any substantive filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the Baton Rouge Transfer and/or Baton Rouge Sale.
(vii)In the event Tenant desires to effectuate a Baton Rouge Transfer, Tenant and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate the Baton Rouge Transfer and any Baton Rouge Sale, if applicable, and minimize all costs, fees (including consent fees), taxes and expenses incurred by Tenant and Landlord in consummating the Baton Rouge Transfer and Baton Rouge Sale.  All reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to a Baton Rouge Transfer (but not the Baton Rouge Sale) (including reasonable, documented attorneys’ fees and other reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord for outside counsel, if any) shall be borne by Tenant and not Landlord.  Landlord and Tenant shall each be responsible for their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Baton Rouge Sale.

If, in connection with obtaining any Facility Mortgage for the Leased Property or any portion thereof or interest therein, a Facility Mortgagee or prospective Facility Mortgagee shall request (A) reasonable cooperation from Tenant, Tenant shall provide the same at no cost or expense to Tenant, it being understood and agreed that Landlord shall be required to reimburse Tenant for all such costs and expenses so incurred by Tenant, including, but not limited to, its reasonable attorneys’ fees, or (B) reasonable amendments or modifications to this Master Lease as a condition thereto, Tenant hereby agrees to execute and deliver the same so long as any such amendments or modifications do not (i) increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Master Lease, (ii) adversely increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Master Lease in any material respect, or (iii) diminish Tenant’s rights under this Master Lease in any material respect.
1.2Attornment. If Landlord’s interest in the Leased Property or any portion thereof or interest therein is sold, conveyed or terminated upon the exercise of any remedy provided for in any Facility Mortgage Documents (or in lieu of such exercise), or otherwise by operation of law:  (a) at the request and option of the new owner or superior lessor, as the case may be, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the new owner or superior lessor as Tenant’s “landlord” under this Master Lease or enter into a new lease substantially in the form of this Master Lease with the new owner or superior lessor, and Tenant shall take such actions to confirm the foregoing within ten (10) days after request; and (b) the new owner or superior lessor shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord under this Master Lease occurring prior to such sale, conveyance or termination; (ii) subject to any offset, abatement or reduction of rent because of any default of Landlord under this Master Lease occurring prior to such sale, conveyance or termination; (iii) bound by any previous modification or amendment to this Master Lease or any previous prepayment of more than one month’s rent, unless such modification, amendment or prepayment shall have been approved in writing by such Facility Mortgagee (to the extent such approval was required at the time of such amendment or 
83
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






modification or prepayment under the terms of the applicable Facility Mortgage Documents) or, in the case of such prepayment, such prepayment of rent has actually been delivered to such new owner or superior lessor or in either case, such modification, amendment or prepayment occurred before Landlord provided Tenant with notice of the Facility Mortgage and the identity and address of the Facility Mortgagee; or (iv) liable for any security deposit or other collateral deposited or delivered to Landlord pursuant to this Master Lease unless such security deposit or other collateral has actually been delivered to such new owner or superior lessor.
1.3Compliance with Facility Mortgage Documents. Tenant acknowledges that any Facility Mortgage Documents executed by Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord may impose certain obligations on the “borrower” or other counterparty thereunder to comply with or cause the operator and/or lessee of a Facility to comply with all representations, covenants and warranties contained therein relating to such Facility and the operator and/or lessee of such Facility, including, covenants relating to (i) the maintenance and repair of such Facility; (ii) maintenance and submission of financial records and accounts of the operation of such Facility and related financial and other information regarding the operator and/or lessee of such Facility and such Facility itself; (iii) the procurement of insurance policies with respect to such Facility; and (iv) without limiting the foregoing, compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements relating to such Facility and the operation of the business thereof.  For so long as any Facility Mortgages encumber the Leased Property or any portion thereof or interest therein, Tenant covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense and for the express benefit of Landlord, to operate the applicable Facility(ies) in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Master Lease for the benefit of Landlord so that Landlord is in compliance with such representations, warranties and covenants as the same apply to the Leased Property and to timely perform all of the obligations of Tenant under this Master Lease relating thereto.  To the extent that any of duties and obligations of Landlord under such Facility Mortgage are beyond Tenant’s obligations under this Master Lease or may not properly be performed by Tenant, Tenant shall cooperate with and assist Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, in the performance thereof (other than payment of any indebtedness evidenced or secured thereby); provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) this Section 31.3(a) shall not be deemed to, and shall not, impose on Tenant obligations which (i) increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Master Lease, (ii) adversely increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Master Lease in any material respect, or (iii) diminish Tenant’s rights or remedies under this Master Lease in any material respect and (B) in the event of a conflict between the obligations, duties, rights and/or remedies of Tenant hereunder or under the Facility Mortgage Documents, this Master Lease shall govern.  For purposes of the foregoing, any proposed implementation of new financial covenants shall be deemed to diminish Tenant’s rights under this Master Lease in a material respect (it being understood that Landlord may agree to such financial covenants in any Facility Mortgage Documents and such financial covenants will not impose obligations on Tenant).  If any new Facility Mortgage Documents to be executed by Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord would impose on Tenant any obligations under this Section 31.3(a), Landlord shall provide copies of the same to Tenant for informational purposes (but not for Tenant’s approval) prior to the execution and delivery thereof by Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord; provided, however, that neither Landlord nor its Affiliates shall enter into any new Facility Mortgage Documents imposing obligations on Tenant with respect to impounds that are more restrictive than obligations imposed on Tenant pursuant to this Master Lease.
(b)Without limiting or expanding Tenant’s obligations pursuant to Section 31.3(a), during the Term of this Master Lease, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Master Lease, it shall undertake at its own cost and expense the performance of any and all repairs, replacements, capital improvements, maintenance items and all other requirements relating to the condition of a Facility that are required by any Facility Mortgage Documents or by Facility Mortgagee, and Tenant shall be solely responsible and hereby covenants to fund and maintain any and all impound, escrow or other reserve or similar 
84
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






accounts required under any Facility Mortgage Documents as security for or otherwise relating to any operating expenses of a Facility, including any capital repair or replacement reserves and/or impounds or escrow accounts for taxes or insurance premiums (each a “Facility Mortgage Reserve Account”); provided, however, this Section 31.3(b) shall not (i)  increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Master Lease, (ii) adversely increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Master Lease in any material respect, (iii) diminish Tenant’s rights or remedies under this Master Lease in any material respect, or (iv) impose obligations to fund such reserve or similar accounts in excess of amounts required under this Master Lease in respect of reserve or similar accounts under the circumstances required under this Master Lease; and provided, further, that any amounts which Tenant is required to fund into a Facility Mortgage Reserve Account with respect to satisfaction of any repair or replacement reserve requirements imposed by a Facility Mortgagee or Facility Mortgage Documents shall be credited on a dollar for dollar basis against the mandatory expenditure obligations of Tenant for such applicable Facility(ies) under Section 9.1(e) and, if Landlord defaults under such Facility Mortgage and such amounts funded into a Facility Mortgage Reserve Account are applied by the Facility Mortgagee for purposes other than their intended purposes for such operating expenses, such amounts shall be credited on a dollar for dollar basis against Rents next coming due.  During the Term of this Master Lease and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, Tenant shall, subject to the terms and conditions of such Facility Mortgage Reserve Account and the requirements of the Facility Mortgagee(s) thereunder (and the related Facility Mortgage Documents), have access to and the right to apply or use (including for reimbursement) to the same extent as Landlord all monies held in each such Facility Mortgage Reserve Account for the purposes and subject to the limitations for which such Facility Mortgage Reserve Account is maintained, and Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant in connection therewith.  Landlord hereby acknowledges that funds deposited by Tenant in any Facility Mortgage Reserve Account are the property of Tenant and Landlord is obligated to return the portion of such funds not previously released to Tenant within fifteen (15) days following the earlier of (x) the expiration or earlier termination of this Master Lease with respect to such applicable Facility, (y) the maturity or earlier prepayment of the applicable Facility Mortgage and obligations secured thereby, or (z) an involuntary prepayment or deemed prepayment arising out of the acceleration of the amounts due to a Facility Mortgagee or secured under a Facility Mortgage as a result of the exercise of remedies under the applicable Facility Mortgage or Facility Mortgage Documents; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed or construed to limit or prohibit Landlord’s right to bring any damage claim against Tenant for any breach of its obligations under this Master Lease that may have resulted in the loss of any impound funds held by a Facility Mortgagee.
ARTICLE XXXII
1.1Hazardous Substances. Tenant shall not allow any Hazardous Substance to be located in, on, under or about the Leased Property or incorporated in any Facility; provided, however, that Hazardous Substances may be located, brought, kept, stored, used or disposed of in, on or about the Leased Property in quantities and for purposes similar to those located, brought, kept, used or disposed of in, on or about similar facilities used for purposes similar to the Primary Intended Use or in connection with the construction of facilities similar to the applicable Facility or to the extent in existence at any Facility and which are located, brought, kept, stored, used and disposed of in strict compliance with Legal Requirements.  Tenant shall not allow the Leased Property to be used as a waste disposal site or for the manufacturing, handling, storage, distribution or disposal of any Hazardous Substance other than in the ordinary course of the business conducted at the Leased Property and in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements.
85
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






1.2Notices. Tenant shall provide to Landlord, within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt thereof, a copy of any written notice, or notification from any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or other Person with respect to (i) any violation of any Legal Requirement relating to the presence or release of Hazardous Substances located in, on, or under the Leased Property; (ii) any material enforcement, cleanup, removal, or other governmental or regulatory action instituted, completed or threatened with respect to the Leased Property; (iii) any claim made or threatened by any Person against Tenant with respect to the Leased Property relating to damage, contribution, cost recovery, compensation, loss, or injury resulting from or claimed to result from any Hazardous Substance; and (iv) any reports made to any federal state or local environmental agency arising out of or in connection with any Hazardous Substances in, on, under or removed from the Leased Property, including any complaints, notices or assertions of violations in connection therewith.
1.3Remediation.  If Tenant becomes aware of a violation of any Environmental Law relating to the presence or release of any Hazardous Substance in, on or under the Leased Property, or if Tenant, Landlord or the Leased Property becomes subject to any order of any federal, state or local governmental agency to repair, close, detoxify, decontaminate, clean, perform corrective action or otherwise remediate (“Remediate”) the Leased Property, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of such event and, at its sole cost and expense, cure such violation or effect such repair, closure, detoxification, decontamination, cleanup, corrective action or other remediation (“Remediation”) to the extent required pursuant to Environmental Law; provided that Remediation is required only to the extent as is required or necessary to attain compliance with minimum remedial standards applicable under Environmental Law, employing where applicable risk-based remedial standards and institutional or engineering controls, where such standards or controls would not unreasonably interfere with the operation and use of the Leased Property for purposes similar to the Primary Intended Use, provided, further, that Landlord shall have the right to review and approve in accordance with Section 11.1 any encumbrances to be placed upon the Leased Property in connection with any Remediation undertaken by Tenant.  
1.4Indemnity by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, save, hold harmless, and reimburse Landlord for, from and against any and all costs, losses (including, losses of use), liabilities, damages, assessments, lawsuits, deficiencies, demands, claims and expenses (collectively, “Environmental Costs”) (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and regardless of whether liability without fault is imposed, or sought to be imposed, on Landlord) incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to, directly or indirectly, before (except to the extent first discovered after the end of the Term) or during (but not after) the Term or such portion thereof during which the Leased Property is leased to Tenant, (i) the production, use, generation, storage, treatment, transporting, disposal, discharge, release or other handling or disposition of any Hazardous Substances from, in, on, under or about the Leased Property (collectively, “Handling”), including the effects of such Handling of any Hazardous Substances on any Person or property within or outside the boundaries of the Leased Property, (ii) the presence of any Hazardous Substances present or located in, on, under or about the Leased Property and (iii) the violation of any Environmental Law.  “Environmental Costs” include costs of Remediation (including costs of response, removal, containment and cleanup), investigation, design, engineering and construction, damages (including actual but excluding consequential damages or loss of value) for personal injuries and for injury to, destruction of or loss of property or natural resources, relocation or replacement costs, penalties, fines, charges or expenses, reasonable attorney’s fees, expert fees, consultation fees, and court costs, and all amounts paid in investigating, defending or settling any of the foregoing.
Without limiting the scope or generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly agrees that, in the event of a breach by Tenant in its obligations under this Article XXXII that is not cured within any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and 
86
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to, directly or indirectly, before (with respect to any period of time in which Tenant or its Affiliate was in possession and control of the applicable Leased Property) or during (but not after) the Term or such portion thereof during which the Leased Property is leased to Tenant of the following:
(a)in investigating any and all matters relating to the Handling of any Hazardous Substances, in, on, from, under or about the Leased Property;
(b)in bringing the Leased Property into compliance with all Legal Requirements; and
(c)in Remediating any Hazardous Substances used, stored, generated, released or disposed of in, on, from, under or about the Leased Property or off-site other than in the ordinary course of the business conducted at the Leased Property and in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements.
If any claim is made by Landlord for reimbursement for Environmental Costs incurred by it hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay such claim promptly, and in any event to pay such claim within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by Tenant of written notice thereof and any amount not so paid within such sixty (60) calendar day period shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date due to the date paid in full.
1.5Environmental Inspections. In the event Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant is in breach of its obligations under this Article XXXII, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, during normal business hours, subject to the rights of subtenants and hotel guests at the Leased Property and upon not less than five (5) days written notice to Tenant, except in the case of an emergency in which event no notice shall be required, to conduct an inspection of the Leased Property to determine the existence or presence of Hazardous Substances on or about the Leased Property.  Landlord shall have the right to enter and inspect the Leased Property, (upon not less than ten (10) days written notice to Tenant for invasive testing except in the case of emergency when no advance notice shall be required; provided, that Landlord shall provide notice to Tenant within a reasonable period thereafter) conduct any testing, sampling and analyses it deems necessary and shall have the right to inspect Hazardous Substances brought into the Leased Property; provided that, except in the case of emergency or during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such testing, sampling and analyses to be performed in such a manner so as to reasonably minimize any interference with the operations and occupancy of the Leased Property and to reasonably minimize any disturbance to guests of Tenant.  Landlord may, in its discretion, retain such experts to conduct the inspection, perform the tests referred to herein, and to prepare a written report in connection therewith.  All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord under this Section 32.5 shall be paid on demand as Additional Charges by Tenant to Landlord.  Failure to conduct an environmental inspection or to detect unfavorable conditions if such inspection is conducted shall in no fashion be intended as a release of any liability for environmental conditions subsequently determined to be associated with or to have occurred during Tenant’s tenancy.  To the extent Tenant may be liable pursuant to this Article XXXII, Tenant shall remain liable for any environmental condition related to or having occurred during its tenancy regardless of when such conditions are discovered and regardless of whether or not Landlord conducts an environmental inspection at the termination of this Master Lease.  
1.6Indemnity by Landlord.  Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Master Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall be responsible for and shall indemnify, defend, 
87
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






protect, save, hold harmless, and reimburse Tenant for, from and against any and all Environmental Costs (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and regardless of whether liability without fault is imposed, or sought to be imposed, on Tenant) incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to, before or during (but not after) the Term or such portion thereof, any Pre-Existing Environmental Conditions, provided that such Environmental Costs to conduct any Remediation with respect to any Pre-Existing Conditions are not incurred primarily as a result of or in connection to any alteration, renovation, remodeling or expansion activities performed by or on behalf of Tenant in, on or about the Leased Property during the Term (other than any such alteration or renovation activities, except to the extent such Remediation is required due to, or such Environmental Costs are incurred by Landlord or Tenant as a result of, Tenant’s negligence or willful misconduct, (a) performed in compliance with Section 8.2 or Section 9.1(a) hereof, or (b) required pursuant to any Applicable Law due to any safety risk or emergency), in which case Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend, protect, save, hold harmless and reimburse any indemnitees for, such Environmental Costs in accordance with this Article XXXII.  “Pre-Existing Environmental Conditions” means (i) any condition that exists at or on the Leased Property on or prior to the Commencement Date with respect to contamination of soil, surface or ground waters, stream sediments, and every other environmental media from Hazardous Substances, (ii) any Hazardous Substances present or located in, on, under or about Leased Property on or prior to the Commencement Date or to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord thereafter and (iii) any Hazardous Substances that have migrated from the Leased Property on or prior to the Commencement Date.  Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with or disruption of any Pre-Existing Environmental Conditions located within the Leased Property of which it is aware or becomes aware when performing its obligations under this Master Lease (including, without limitation, Sections 8.2 and 9.1(a)).
If any claim is made by Tenant for reimbursement for Environmental Costs incurred by it hereunder, Landlord agrees to pay such claim promptly, and in any event to pay such claim within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by Landlord of written notice thereof and any amount not so paid within such sixty (60) calendar day period shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date due to the date paid in full.
1.7Survival.  The obligations set forth in this Article XXXII shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Master Lease.
ARTICLE XXXIII
1.1Memorandum of Lease.  Landlord and Tenant shall enter into one or more short form memoranda of this Master Lease, in form suitable for recording in each county or other applicable location in which the Leased Property is located.  Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses of recording any such memorandum and shall fully cooperate with Landlord in removing from record any such memorandum upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term with respect to the applicable Facility.
1.2Tenant Financing. If, in connection with granting any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or entering into a Debt Agreement, Tenant shall reasonably request (A) reasonable cooperation from Landlord, Landlord shall provide the same at no cost or expense 
88
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






to Landlord, it being understood and agreed that Tenant shall be required to reimburse Landlord for all such costs and expenses so incurred by Landlord, including, but not limited to, its reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, or (B) reasonable amendments or modifications to this Master Lease as a condition thereto, Landlord hereby agrees to execute and deliver the same so long as any such amendments or modifications do not (i) increase Landlord’s monetary obligations under this Master Lease, (ii) adversely increase Landlord’s non-monetary obligations under this Master Lease in any material respect, (iii) diminish Landlord’s rights under this Master Lease in any material respect, (iv) adversely impact the value of the Leased Property or (v) adversely impact Landlord’s (or any Affiliate of Landlord’s) tax treatment or position.
ARTICLE XXXIV
1.1Expert Valuation Process.
(a)In the event that the opinion of an “Expert” is required under this Master Lease and Landlord and Tenant have not been able to reach agreement on such Person after at least ten (10) days of good faith negotiations, then either party shall each have the right to seek appointment of the Expert by the “Appointing Authority,” as defined below, by writing to the Appointing Authority, copying the other party, and asking it to serve as the Appointing Authority and appoint the Expert.  The Appointing Authority shall appoint an Expert who is independent of the parties and has at least ten (10) years of experience valuing commercial real estate and/or in leasing or other matters, as applicable with respect to any of the matters to be determined by the Expert and in the geographic area where the related Leased Property is located.
(b)The “Appointing Authority” shall be (i) the Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (also known as, and shall be defined herein as, the “CPR Institute”), unless it is unable to serve, in which case the Appointing Authority shall be (ii) the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Arbitrator Select Program for non-administered arbitrations or whatever AAA process is in effect at the time for the appointment of arbitrators in cases not administered by the AAA, unless it is unable to serve, in which case (iii) the parties shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an Appointing Authority or an Expert in accordance with the court’s power to appoint arbitrators.  The CPR Institute and the AAA shall each be considered unable to serve if it no longer exists, or if it no longer provides neutral appointment services, or if it does not confirm (in form or substance) that it will serve as the Appointing Authority within thirty (30) days after receiving a written request from either Landlord or Tenant to serve as the Appointing Authority, or if, despite agreeing to serve as the Appointing Authority, it does not confirm its Expert appointment within sixty (60) after receiving such written request.  The Appointing Authority’s appointment of the Expert shall be final and binding upon the parties.  The Appointing Authority shall have no power or authority except to appoint the Expert, and no rules of the Appointing Authority shall be applied to the valuation or other determination of the Expert other than the rules necessary for the appointment of the Expert.
(c)Once the Expert is finally selected, either by agreement of the parties or by confirmation to the parties from the Appointing Authority, the Expert will determine the matter in question, by proceeding as follows:
In the case of an Expert required for any other purpose, including without limitation under Section 13.2 and Section 36.2(a) hereof, each of Landlord and Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) days to submit to the Expert its position as to the Maximum Foreseeable Loss, as to the replacement cost of the Facilities as of the date of the expiration of this Master Lease and as to the appropriate per annum yield for leases between owners and operators of Gaming Facilities at the 
89
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






time in question (or as to any other matter to be resolved by an Expert hereunder), as the case may be, and any materials each of Landlord and Tenant wishes the Expert to consider when determining such Maximum Foreseeable Loss, replacement cost of the Facilities and the appropriate per annum yield for leases between owners and operators of Gaming Facilities (or as to any other matter to be resolved by an Expert hereunder), and the Expert will then make the relevant determination, by a “baseball arbitration” proceeding with the Expert limited to awarding only one or the other of the two positions submitted (and not any position in between or other compromise or ruling not consistent with one of the two positions submitted, except that in the case of a determination in respect of a dispute under Section 36.2(a), the Expert in its discretion may choose the position of one party with respect to the replacement cost of the Facilities as of the date of the expiration of this Master Lease and the position of the other party with respect to the appropriate per annum yield for leases between owners and operators of Gaming Facilities at the time in question), which shall then be binding on the parties hereto.  The Expert, in his or her sole discretion, shall consider any and all materials that he or she deems relevant, except that there shall be no live hearings and the parties shall not be permitted to take discovery.  The Expert may submit written questions or information requests to the parties, and the parties may respond with written materials within a time frame agreed by the parties or, absent agreement by the parties, set by the Expert.
(d)All communications between a party and either the Appointing Authority or the Expert shall also be copied to the other party.  The parties shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the valuation or other determination by the Expert.
(e)The costs of any Appointing Authority or Expert engaged with respect to any issue under Section 34.1(c) of this Master Lease shall be borne by the party against whom the Expert rules on such issue.  If Landlord pays such Expert or Appointing Authority and is the prevailing party, such costs shall be Additional Charges hereunder and if Tenant pays such Expert or Appointing Authority and is the prevailing party, such costs shall be a credit against the next Rent payment hereunder.
ARTICLE XXXV

ARTICLE XXXVI
1.1Transfer of Tenant’s Property and Operational Control of the Facilities. Upon the written request (an “End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice”) of Landlord either immediately prior to or in connection with the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, or of Tenant in connection with a termination of this Master Lease that occurs (i) either on the last date of the Initial Term or the last date of any Renewal Term, or (ii) in the event Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Master Lease or repossess the Leased Property in accordance with the terms of this Master Lease and, provided that, in each of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), Tenant complies with the provisions of Section 36.3, Tenant shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) upon the expiration of the Term, or as soon thereafter as Landlord shall request, the business operations conducted by Tenant and its Subsidiaries at the Facilities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Tenant’s Property relating to each of the Facilities other than tradenames and trademarks, but including all customer lists and all other Facility specific information and assets) to a successor lessee or operator (or lessees or operators) of the Facilities (collectively, the “Successor Tenant”) designated pursuant to Section 36.2 for 
91
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






consideration to be received by Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) from the Successor Tenant in an amount equal to the fair market value of such business operations conducted at the Facilities and Tenant’s Property (including any Tenant Capital Improvements not funded by Landlord in accordance with Section 10.3) (the “Gaming Assets FMV”) as negotiated and agreed by Tenant and the Successor Tenant; provided, however, that in the event an End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice is delivered hereunder, then notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, until such time that Tenant transfers the business operations conducted at the Facilities and Tenant’s Property to a Successor Tenant, Tenant shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) continue to (and Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain possession of the Leased Property to the extent necessary to) operate the Facilities in accordance with the applicable terms of this Master Lease and the course and manner in which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) has operated the Facilities prior to the end of the Term (including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent hereunder).  If Tenant and a potential Successor Tenant designated by Landlord cannot agree on the Gaming Assets FMV within a reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30) days after receipt of an End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice hereunder, then such Gaming Assets FMV shall be determined, and Tenant’s transfer of Tenant’s Property to a Successor Tenant in consideration for a payment in such amount shall be determined and transferred, in accordance with the provisions of Section 36.2.
1.2Determination of Successor Tenant and Gaming Assets FMV.
If not effected pursuant to Section 36.1, then the determination of the Gaming Assets FMV and the transfer of Tenant’s Property to a Successor Tenant in consideration for the Gaming Assets FMV shall be effected by (i) first, determining in accordance with Section 36.2(a) the rent that Landlord would be entitled to receive from Successor Tenant assuming a lease term of ten (10) years (the “Successor Tenant Rent”) pursuant to a lease agreement containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Master Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI, which will not be included in such new lease), (ii) second, identifying and designating in accordance with the terms of Section 36.2(b), a pool of qualified potential Successor Tenants (each, a “Qualified Successor Tenant”) prepared to lease the Facilities at the Successor Tenant Rent and to bid for the business operations (which will include a one (1) year transition license for tradenames and trademarks used at the Facilities) conducted at the Facilities and Tenant’s Property, and (iii) third, in accordance with the terms of Section 36.2(c), determining the highest price a Qualified Successor Tenant would agree to pay for Tenant’s Property and setting such highest price as the Gaming Assets FMV in exchange for which Tenant shall be required to transfer Tenant’s Property and Landlord will enter into a lease with such Qualified Successor Tenant on substantially the same terms and conditions of this Master Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI, which will not be included in such new lease) through the remaining term of this Master Lease (assuming that this Master Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) or ten (10) years, whichever is greater for a rent calculated pursuant to Section 36.2(a) hereof.  Notwithstanding anything in the contrary in this Article XXXVI, the transfer of Tenant’s Property will be conditioned upon the Successor Tenant obtaining the Gaming Licenses or the approval of the applicable regulatory agencies of the transfer of the Gaming Licenses and any other gaming assets to the Successor Tenant and/or the issuance of new gaming licenses as required by applicable Gaming Regulations and the relevant regulatory agencies both with respect to operating and suitability criteria, as the case may be.
(a)Determining Successor Tenant Rent.  Landlord and Tenant shall first attempt to agree on the amount of Successor Tenant Rent that it will be assumed Landlord will be entitled to receive for a term of ten (10) years and pursuant to a lease containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Master Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI, which will not be included in 
92
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






such new lease).  If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Successor Tenant Rent amount within a reasonable time not to exceed sixty (60) days after receipt of an End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice hereunder, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be set as follows:
(i)for the period preceding the day immediately preceding the fortieth (40th) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the annual Successor Tenant Rent shall be an amount equal to the annual Rent that would have accrued under the terms of this Master Lease for such period (assuming the Master Lease will have not been terminated prior to its natural expiration); and
(ii)for the period following the day immediately preceding the fortieth (40th) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be calculated in the same manner as Rent is calculated under this Master Lease.
(b)Designating Potential Successor Tenants.  Landlord will select one and Tenant will select three additional (for a total of up to four) potential Qualified Successor Tenants prepared to lease the Facilities for the Successor Tenant Rent, each of whom must meet the criteria established for a Discretionary Transferee (and none of whom may be Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant (it being understood and agreed that there shall be no restriction on Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord from being a potential Qualified Successor Tenant), except in the case of termination of the Master Lease on the day immediately preceding the fortieth (40th) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs).  Landlord and Tenant must designate their proposed Qualified Successor Tenants within ninety (90) days after receipt of an End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice hereunder.  In the event that Landlord or Tenant fails to designate such party’s allotted number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants, the other party may designate additional potential Qualified Successor Tenants such that the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants does not exceed four; provided that, in the event the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants is less than four, the transfer process will still proceed as set forth in Section 36.2(c) below.

1.3Operation Transfer. Upon designation of a Successor Tenant (pursuant to either Section 36.1 or 36.2, as the case may be), Tenant shall reasonably cooperate and take all actions reasonably necessary (including providing all reasonable assistance to Successor Tenant) to effectuate the transfer of operational control of the Facilities to Successor Tenant in an orderly manner so as to minimize to the maximum extent possible any disruption to the continued orderly operation of the Facilities for its Primary Intended Use.  Notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and anything to the contrary herein, unless Landlord consents to the contrary, until such time that Tenant transfers Tenant’s Property and operational control of the Facilities to a Successor Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article XXXVI, Tenant shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) continue to (and Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain possession of the Leased Property to the extent necessary to) operate the Facilities in accordance with the applicable terms of this Master Lease and the course and manner in which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) has operated the Facilities prior to the end of the Term (including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent hereunder).

ARTICLE XL
1.1GLP REIT Protection. The parties hereto intend that Rent and other amounts paid by Tenant hereunder will qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto and this Master Lease shall be interpreted consistent with this intent.
(b)Anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not without Landlord’s advance written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (i) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the subtenant, assignee or manager thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (x) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the subtenant, assignee or manager or (y) any other formula such that any portion of any amount received by Landlord would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto; (ii) furnish or render any services to the subtenant, assignee or manager or manage or operate the Leased Property so subleased, assigned or managed; (iii) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property to any Person (other than a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) of GLP) in which Landlord or GLP owns an interest, directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the Code); or (iv) sublet, assign or enter into a management arrangement for the Leased Property in any other manner which could cause any portion of the amounts received by Landlord pursuant to this Master Lease or any sublease to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto, or which could cause any other income of Landlord to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code.

(c)Anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, the parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord, in its sole discretion, may assign this Master Lease or any interest herein to another Person (including without limitation, a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code)) in order to maintain Landlord’s status as a “real estate investment trust” (within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code); provided, however, Landlord shall be required to (i) comply with any applicable legal requirements related to such transfer and (ii) give Tenant notice of any such assignment; and provided, further, that any such assignment shall be subject to all of the rights of Tenant hereunder.
(d)Anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in good faith and at no cost or expense to Tenant, and provide such documentation and/or information as may be in Tenant’s possession or under Tenant’s control and otherwise readily available to Tenant as shall be reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with verification of GLP’s “real estate investment trust” (within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code) compliance requirements.  Anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall take such reasonable action as may be requested by Landlord from time to time in order to ensure compliance with the Internal Revenue Service requirement that Rent allocable for purposes of Section 856 of the Code to personal property, if any, at the beginning and end of a calendar year 
95
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||

ARTICLE XLI
1.1Survival. Anything contained in this Master Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities and indemnities of Tenant or Landlord arising prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall survive such expiration or termination.
1.2Severability. If any term or provision of this Master Lease or any application thereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Master Lease and any other application of such term or provision shall not be affected thereby.
1.3Non-Recourse; Consequential Damages. Tenant specifically agrees to look solely to the Leased Property for recovery of any judgment from Landlord (and Landlord’s liability hereunder shall be limited solely to its interest in the Leased Property, and no recourse under or in respect of this Master Lease shall be had against any other assets of Landlord whatsoever).  It is specifically agreed that (a) no constituent partner or shareholder in Landlord or officer or employee of Landlord shall ever be personally liable for any such judgment or for the payment of any monetary obligation to Tenant and (b) no shareholder that is an individual, officer or employee of Tenant shall ever be personally liable for any such judgment or for payment of any monetary obligation to Landlord.  The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord, or any action not involving the personal liability of Landlord.  Furthermore, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in no event shall either party ever be liable to the other party for any indirect or consequential damages suffered by the claiming party from whatever cause.

1.16Certain Provisions of New Jersey Law.
(a) This Master Lease and the parties hereto, in each case as it relates to the Facilities located in the State of New Jersey (the “New Jersey Facility(ies)”) only, are subject to compliance with the requirements of the New Jersey Casino Control Act, N.J.S.A. 5:12-1 et seq., (the “New Jersey Act”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder.  In accordance with N.J.S.A. 5:12—82c, this Master Lease or any further amendments thereto relating to the New Jersey Facilities must be filed with the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (the “Commission”) and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (the “Division”) and, to the extent that this Master Lease or any further amendment thereto relates to the New Jersey Facilities, the same shall only be effective as to the New Jersey Facilities if approved by the Commission.
(b)    The parties acknowledge and agree that the Master Lease and any transfer or assignments under the Master Lease, in each case to the extent the same relate to the New Jersey Facilities, are subject to the applicable provisions of N.J.S.A. 5:12-82 et seq.  To the extent required by N.J.S.A. 5:12-82c(10), with respect to the New Jersey Facilities only, each party to the Master Lease is jointly and severally liable for all acts, omissions and violations of the New Jersey Act by any party, regardless of actual knowledge of such act, omission o violation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if Tenant violates the New Jersey Act then Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for any liability incurred by Landlord as a result of any such violation in a manner consistent with Section 21.1 of this Master Lease and (ii) if Landlord violates the New Jersey Act then Landlord shall indemnify Tenant for any liability incurred by Tenant as a result of any such violation.
(c)    Pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 5:12-104b, this Master Lease, as it relates to the New Jersey Facilities only, may be terminated by the Division or Commission without liability on the part of Tenant or Landlord, if the Division or Commission disapproves of its terms, including the terms of compensation, or of the qualifications of Landlord or Tenant, their respective owners, officers, directors or employees based on the standards contained in N.J.S.A. 5:12-86.
(d)    In accordance with the requirements of N.J.S.A. 5:12-82c(5), if at any time during the Term (so long as a New Jersey Facility remains a Facility under this Master Lease), Landlord or any person associated with Landlord (other than Tenant or any subtenant thereof), is found by the Commission or the Director of the Division, as applicable, to be 
99
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






unsuitable to be associated with a casino enterprise in New Jersey, and is not removed from such association in a manner acceptable to the Commission or the Director of the Division, as applicable, then upon written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord (the “New Jersey Purchase Notice”), following such final unstayed decision of the Commission or Director of the Division, as applicable, which provides that a purchase of Landlord’s interest in a New Jersey Facility is required, Tenant may elect either (a) to require Landlord to sell all (but not less than all) of Landlord’s interest in such New Jersey Facility (but no other Facility under the Master Lease) to a third party pursuant to a Severance Lease provided, that the Commission or Director of the Division, as applicable, does not object, or (b); to purchase all (but not less than all) of Landlord’s interest in an applicable New Jersey Facility (but no other Facility under the Lease) for an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the New Jersey Fair Market Value (as finally determined in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section 41.16 below), which amount shall be payable in cash.
(e)    The “New Jersey Fair Market Value” shall be an amount equal to the fair market value of an applicable New Jersey Facility based on the amount that would be paid by a willing purchaser to a willing seller if neither were under any compulsion to buy or sell.  If the parties are unable to mutually agree upon the New Jersey Fair Market Value within thirty (30) days after delivery of the New Jersey Purchase Notice, the New Jersey Fair Market Value will be determined by Experts appointed in accordance with Section 34.1 in which case Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the Experts their respective determinations of the New Jersey Fair Market Value.  The Experts may only select either the New Jersey Fair Market Value set forth by Landlord or by Tenant and may not select any other amount or make any other determination (and the Experts shall be so instructed).  The Experts shall notify the parties in writing within thirty (30) days of the submission of the matter to the Experts of their selection of either Tenant’s or Landlord’s determination of the New Jersey Fair Market Value as the conclusive determination of the New Jersey Fair Market Value.
(f)    In the event that Tenant has elected to purchase a New Jersey Facility, the closing of the purchase and a sale of such New Jersey Facility shall occur not later than ninety (90) days after the determination of the New Jersey Fair Market Value, or such other time as may be directed by the New Jersey Gaming Authorities.  At such closing, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant all fee and leasehold title to the applicable New Jersey Facility, free and clear of any liens, claims or other encumbrances other than (A) any liens and encumbrances created to or in place as of the Commencement Date and (B) any liens and encumbrances caused by Tenant or as permitted by the Master Lease.  Landlord shall use all its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver title to the applicable New Jersey Facility in the condition required in this Section 41.16(f).  All closing costs and expenses, including any applicable real property transfer taxes or fees, of conveying a New Jersey Facility to Tenant shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant in the manner as the same are customarily allocated between a seller and buyer of similar real property located in the State of New Jersey.  Upon such closing the Master Lease, as it relates to the applicable New Jersey Facility only, shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect, and Rent due under this Master Lease from and after the date of such closing shall be reduced by an amount determined in the same manner as set forth in Section 14.6 hereof (the “Rent Reduction Amount”).  Nothing in this Section 41.16 shall be deemed to supersede any provisions of the Master Lease which expressly survives the termination of the Master Lease, and nothing contained in this Section 41.16 shall be deemed to release either party from any obligation or liability relating to any Facility other than an applicable New Jersey Facility or any obligation or liability relating to such applicable New Jersey Facility which shall have arisen under the Master Lease prior to the effective date of the sale to Tenant of the applicable New Jersey Facility.
(g)  In the event that Tenant has elected to require Landlord to sell a New Jersey Facility to a third-party, in connection with the closing of the purchase and sale of such New Jersey 
100
|US-DOCS\117166033.9||






Facility from Landlord to such third-party, Tenant and such third-party shall enter into a Severance Lease and the Master Lease shall be amended to reflect the removal of the applicable New Jersey Facility from the Lease.
