Expense), prepare or coordinate the preparation of all financial reports required under ARTICLE VII; 

(q) at the request and expense of Tenant (and not as an Operating Expense), take actions within Manager’s reasonable
control to discharge any lien, encumbrance or charge against the Manager Operated Areas or any component of the Manager Operated Areas; 

(r) supervise and maintain reasonably complete books of account and records relating to or reflecting the results of
Operation of the Manager Operated Areas specifically, and the Resort and Tenant generally, in accordance with the CMBS Financing Documents, [            ] Gaming Laws, GAAP and, to
the extent applicable, the Uniform System; 
 (s) incur indebtedness in the name and on behalf of Tenant
including trade payables for goods and services incurred in the ordinary course of business in the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas, to the extent permitted under the CMBS Financing Documents;

 2.2 Other Operations of
Manager. 
 2.2.1 Operation of Other Managed Resorts. Tenant acknowledges that it has selected
Manager to Operate the Manager Operated Areas on behalf of Tenant in substantial part because of Manager’s, and Affiliates of Manager’s, management and operation of a chain of first-class hotels and resorts. Tenant further acknowledges
that it has determined, on an overall basis, that the benefits of (a) utilizing Manager’s and its Affiliates’ expertise, especially in the [            ] market; and
(b) having the Resort operated as part of the Managed Resorts are substantial, notwithstanding that all hotels owned, Operated and/or managed by Manager might not benefit equally. Tenant acknowledges that Manager and/or its Affiliates presently
own and manage various hotel and casino properties around the world including those located within the State of Nevada and in Las Vegas or Clark County (i.e., [Caesars Palace, Harrah’s Las Vegas, Harrah’s Laughlin, Flamingo Las Vegas, Rio
Las Vegas, Paris Las Vegas, Bally’s Las Vegas, Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall and Saloon, Planet Hollywood and Imperial Palace]) and in Atlantic City, 

 

 5 








 
New Jersey (i.e., [Harrah’s Atlantic City, Showboat Atlantic City, Bally’s Atlantic City and Caesars Atlantic City]), which may directly or indirectly compete with the business of the
Hotel. Tenant further acknowledges that in certain respects all hotels and casinos compete on a national, regional and local basis with other hotels and casinos, and that conflicts may, from time to time, arise between the Hotel and the Casino
and/or the Resort and the Other Managed Resorts. Accordingly, provided that Manager is at all times operating the Resort in compliance with the Operating Standard, Tenant shall have no right to object to and hereby waives any conflict in the
ownership and Operation by Manager or its Affiliates of any and all Other Managed Resorts (including the Other Managed Resorts). In furtherance of the foregoing, Manager shall have no obligation to minimize conflict between the Resort and the Other
Managed Resorts but intends to proceed, in its Operation of the Manager Operated Areas and in the operation and management of the Other Managed Resorts, in a good faith manner and in a manner reasonably deemed to serve the overall best interests, on
a long term basis, of the Managed Resorts as a group. The Parties agree that this Section 2.2 shall constitute the entirety of Manager’s obligations with respect to any such potential conflicts of interest regarding competition
between the Hotel and the Casino and/or the Resort and the Other Managed Resorts. 
 2.2.2 Placement
Rights. Subject to the Property-Specific License Agreement and that certain license agreement by and between Landlord and HLC for the right for HLC to use certain intellectual property specific to the Resort, Manager and its Affiliates shall
have the right to include the Resort in marketing programs (including any marketing program included as part of Centralized Services and any specific marketing program for the Resort) carried out in conjunction with the Other Managed Resorts and, as
more specifically described in Section 2.1.2 above, promote and/or advertise its Other Managed Resorts at the Resort including, without limitation, using any “Harrah’s” trade name or any Trademarks licensed pursuant to the
System License Agreement. Manager shall request, pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement, that HOC advertise the Resort in a manner which is not materially different than with respect to the hotels/casinos comprising the Other Managed Resorts in
[                ]. 
 ARTICLE III.

 FEES AND EXPENSES 

3.1 Operating Fees. 

3.1.1 Base Fee. As consideration for Manager’s services during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Manager a base

of the Term. 
 3.1.2 Incentive Fee. In addition to the Base Fee, Tenant shall pay to Manager each fiscal

of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (including the Performance Threshold set forth therein and the minimum and maximum amounts 
  


 6 








 
payable thereunder in certain circumstances). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Subject Fees not paid to Manager hereunder as a result of the limitations in such
Section 5.1.22(u) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, such Subject Fees will be deposited by Tenant into the Blocked Account (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (which shall be applied
subject to and in accordance with terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement). In the event the Subject Fees are released from the Blocked Account to Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Tenant shall promptly deliver such Subject
Fees to Manager.

and all reasonable costs and expenses (without duplication) actually incurred by Manager in the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder and/or in connection with this Agreement to the extent consistent with past practice of Tenant’s
Operation of the Premises prior to the date hereof (whether incurred on behalf of Tenant or otherwise) (in each case, all of which shall be treated as “Operating Expenses”, “Capital Expenditures,” or otherwise, as the case may
be, hereunder) including the following: 
 (a) the Operating Personnel Costs paid by Manager or its Affiliates in
connection with the Operating Personnel;

in this Section 3.2; 
 (g) reasonable out-of-pocket legal fees incurred by Manager in connection
with the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas; and 
 (h) all other expenditures which are authorized,
permitted or required under the provisions of this Agreement which have been paid or funded by Manager on Tenant’s behalf. 
  

 7 








 For the avoidance of doubt, (i) to the extent that any Operating Personnel Costs or other cost or
expense reimbursable to Manager or its Affiliates are not incurred solely for the benefit of the Resort, only the prorated portion thereof appropriately allocable to the Resort shall be charged to Tenant and (ii) any reimbursable costs shall be
charged to Tenant without mark-up or premium of any kind or nature. In addition, in no event shall Tenant have any obligation to pay Manager (or reimburse Manager for) any cost or expense more than once, however classified or categorized.

 3.3 Shared Services Charges. Tenant shall pay the Shared Services Charges in arrears for all Shared Services as
described in Section 4.2 for the Manager Operated Areas for the immediately preceding Invoice Period. Manager shall apply such Shared Services Charges to the applicable Shared Services.

shall be due to Manager within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of an invoice evidencing the current amount of Operating Fees, Reimbursable Expenses and/or Shared Services Charges due and owing for the period set forth in the
respective invoice (the “Invoice Period”), including any outstanding unpaid amounts owed to Manager from prior Invoice Periods. Operating Fees shall be invoiced monthly in arrears.

and if sufficient funds are not then available in the Operating Account Tenant will promptly provide sufficient funds therefor upon the request of Manager. In addition, Manager may require that any such payments be effected through electronic
debit/credit transfer of funds programs specified by Manager from time to time, and Tenant agrees to execute such documents (including independent transfer authorizations), pay such fees and costs and do such things as Manager reasonably deems
necessary to effect such transfers of funds. 
 3.6 Application of Payments. All payments by Tenant, or Manager on
behalf of Tenant, pursuant to this Agreement and all related agreements shall be applied as designated by Manager. 
 3.7

 ARTICLE IV. 

SHARED SERVICES 

4.1 Shared Services. Tenant acknowledges that (a) certain shared (including centralized) services, including Services
and Centralized Services (both as defined in the Shared Services Agreement) (the “Shared Services”) are provided or made available to a majority of the Other Managed Resorts, including the Other CMBS Entities; (b) the Shared
Services are an essential element in maintaining uniformity in the Operation of the Other Managed Resorts, as applicable; and (c) such Shared Services are being provided to Manager (and the Other CMBS Entities) by HOC for the benefit, in the
case of Manager only, of the Resort pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement. Manager intends to provide the Shared Services (provided by HOC to Manager pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement) to the Resort in a first-class manner which is not
materially less favorable than those provided to the Other Managed Resorts in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Any Shared Services to be provided under this Agreement or the Shared Services Agreement may be provided by Manager, HOC or an Affiliate of
either of them, or at locations other than the Manager Operated Areas, or by a third party designated by Manager, HOC or an Affiliate of either of them (the “Third-Party Centralized Services”). Tenant and Manager acknowledge and
agree that the Manager Operated Areas shall participate in all Shared Services as determined by Manager, and Tenant shall pay all Shared Services Charges for, and comply with all terms and requirements of, such Shared Services in accordance with the
provisions of the Shared Services Agreement. 
 4.2 Shared Services Charges. 

4.2.1 Calculation of Shared Services Charges. The amounts charged to the Manager Operated Areas for the Shared
Services (the “Shared Services Charges”) shall be (i) the amounts charged by HOC to Manager pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement and (ii) the actual amounts, if any, charged to Manager for any Third-Party Centralized
Services. 
 4.2.2 Allocation of Costs. Tenant acknowledges that from time to time there might be a
current surplus or current deficit of funds for any one (1) or more Shared Services, and that any retention of funds for use at a later date (including interest earned thereon) shall not constitute a profit. Tenant acknowledges that the charges
for Third-Party Centralized Services may include a profit component to such third party. 
 4.2.3 Right to Pay
Third-Party Providers. Manager shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay (directly or through an Affiliate) any amounts due to a third party for any Third-Party Centralized Services provided to the Manager Operated Areas, in which
case, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such amounts shall be deemed to be Reimbursable Expenses for all purposes under this Agreement. 

4.3 Modification of Shared Services. Tenant acknowledges that the Shared Services are an integral part of Manager’s and
its Affiliates’ operation of the Other Managed Resorts, including the Other CMBS Entities, and Manager and its Affiliates need the flexibility to modify 

 

 9 








 
the Shared Services to respond to market trends, customer demands, economic conditions, technological advances and other factors affecting the operation of Other Managed Resorts, including the
Other CMBS Entities, as they may change from time to time. Accordingly, Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that the Shared Services may be modified from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Shared Services Agreement. 

ARTICLE V. 

OPERATION OF THE MANAGER OPERATED AREAS 

5.1 Maintenance and Repair; Capital Improvements. 

5.1.1 Required Maintenance and Repair and Capital Improvements. Without limiting any right of Manager hereunder,
Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall have the authority to perform all ordinary maintenance and repair and all such Routine Capital Improvements and Building Capital Improvements (a) as Manager determines are necessary or advisable to keep
the Manager Operated Areas in material compliance with the Operating Standard; and (b) as Manager determines are necessary or advisable to comply with, and cure or prevent the violation of, any Applicable Laws; provided, that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.1, from and after the Transition Period Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) Manager will no longer have the authority to perform any Capital Improvement of any kind,
including ROI Capital Improvements described in Section 5.1.2, Building Capital Improvements and Routine Capital Improvements, in each case without the prior approval of Landlord (with the consent of Mortgagee) or Mortgagee unless
otherwise required by Applicable Law. 
 5.1.2 ROI Capital Improvements. Without limiting any right of
Manager hereunder, Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall have the authority to perform all ROI Capital Improvements, subject to Section 5.1.1. Tenant shall not make any ROI Capital Improvements or other capital improvements, without
the prior written consent of Manager in each instance, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If, at any time during the Term, Manager determines that any capital improvement within the Resort does not, or when constructed will
not, comply in all material respects with System Standards, Manager shall be entitled (but not obligated) to provide notice of such determination to Tenant (a “System Standards Deficiency Notice”). Within fifteen (15) days
after receipt of any System Standards Deficiency Notice, Tenant shall respond in detail to such allegation. In furtherance of the foregoing: 

(a) Tenant represents and warrants to Manager that the Resort, as of the Effective Date, will meet the Physical Standards
and that the Resort complies with the Physical Standards as required thereunder. With respect to the Operating Standards, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Manager and its Affiliates have the exclusive rights to modify the Operating Standards,
from time to time, in Manager’s and its Affiliates’ sole discretion; provided that any such modification (i) does not reduce the Operating Standard of the Resort to a standard of quality that is lower than the Operating Standard in
effect as of the date hereof and (ii) otherwise complies with Tenant’s obligations under the Operating Leases; and 
  

 10 








 (b) in the event of any change in Operating Standards or the Physical
Standards which would necessitate any Routine Capital Improvement or ROI Capital Improvement, Manager shall provide Tenant with a written description of any material changes to the respective System Standards and, if available at such time, the
estimated cost of such changes, and Tenant shall be obligated to fund any modifications, upgrades, replacement or introduction of computers (i.e., hardware and software), telecommunications and technology systems that are required for the Managed
Resorts to interface with Manager and the Other Managed Resorts (e.g., hardware and software needed for the operation of Manager’s reservations systems) in accordance with the policies or programs implemented by Manager for such items
(including, without limitation, with respect to the timing of such implementation). 
 5.1.3 Compensation to
Manager. In the event that Manager agrees to perform all supervisory services necessary to carry out ROI Capital Improvements (e.g., replacement of roof, driveways, elevators, HVAC, or that require other structural changes or alterations to the
Resort, etc.), Manager shall be paid a market supervisory fee in connection therewith in an amount to be mutually agreed upon between Tenant and Manager, and Manager shall have the authority to complete such ROI Capital Improvements. In the event
Manager elects to have a third party perform or supervise such ROI Improvements, such third party shall be selected by Manager. 

5.1.4 Remediation of Design or Construction Defect. If the design or construction of the Manager Operated Areas is
defective, and the defective condition presents a risk of injury to persons or damage to the Manager Operated Areas or other property, or results in non-compliance with the System Standards or Applicable Law, then Manager shall have the authority to
perform all work necessary to remedy such design or construction defect in the Manager Operated Areas. Tenant acknowledges that such work shall be performed at Tenant’s expense. 

5.2 Operating Personnel. 

5.2.1 General. Manager shall, in its sole discretion, be responsible for directing the hiring, discharging,
promoting, supervising, training and compensating of the Executive Personnel and the Operating Personnel. 

5.2.2 Tenant as Employer. All Operating Personnel shall be employees of Tenant. All Operating Personnel Costs shall
be paid on behalf of Tenant by Manager, and shall be Operating Expenses paid to Manager by Tenant out of the Payroll Account(s) or, if advanced by Manager (which Manager shall have no obligation to do), then the advancement of funds by Manager shall
be treated as a reimbursable expense as set forth in Section 3.2. 
 5.2.3 Labor Relations.
Manager is hereby delegated with responsibility on Tenant’s behalf to negotiate with any labor unions representing the Operating Personnel. Any collective bargaining agreement or labor contract resulting therefrom shall be executed by Tenant as
the employer of the Operating Personnel. In addition, it is understood that Manager shall have the right to appoint labor counsel for any such labor negotiations. 

5.2.4 Manager Personnel. Provided that Manager is Operating the Resort in accordance with the Operating Standard
and is otherwise in compliance in all material respects with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Manager shall have the right to allocate 

 

 11 








 
the services and time of any Operating Personnel between the Manager Operated Areas and (a) Other Managed Resorts, and/or (b) the local, regional or central office(s) of Manager, its
Parent Company and their respective Affiliates. In addition, Manager may assign its (or its Affiliates’) employees from Other Managed Resorts or from its corporate offices to the Resort. 

5.2.5 Benefit Plans. 

(a) Manager shall have the right (but shall not be required) to provide eligible Operating Personnel who are not covered
by collective bargaining or similar arrangements with benefits of: (i) incentive plans; (ii) pension, profit sharing or other employee retirement plans; and (iii) disability, health, welfare or other benefit plans now or hereafter
applicable to employees of Other Managed Resorts. Manager shall charge the Resort with the Resort’s pro rata share of the costs and expenses of such plans allocated to the Resort equitably and otherwise on the same basis as allocated to
participating Other Managed Resorts. 
 (b) Manager may (but shall not be required to) provide benefits and allow
participation in such plans on whatever modified basis as it may determine appropriate under the circumstances and may waive any waiting period or any preconditions to coverage or participation otherwise applicable to such employees. No statement,
promise, representation or warranty regarding the terms of such plans or the participation or coverage of employees shall be enforceable, binding or effective in any way unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Manager.

 5.2.6 Corporate Personnel. Tenant shall reimburse Manager or its Affiliates for all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including travel, lodging, food and beverage consumption) incurred by any Corporate Personnel in accordance with the Corporate Travel Policy who travel to the Manager Operated Areas to perform technical assistance
or other services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and/or at the request of Manager. 
 5.2.7 Whenever
applicable in this Section 5.2, costs and expenses will apply only to the prorated portion thereof as are appropriately allocable to the Operation of the Resort in accordance with this Agreement, the Operating Leases and the Shared
Services Agreement. 
 5.3 Bank Accounts. 

5.3.1 Authority over Bank Accounts. Subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Operating Leases and
the CMBS Financing Documents, Manager shall have operational authority (including signatory authority) over Tenant’s existing bank accounts (the “Bank Accounts”), which Bank Accounts shall be in the name of Tenant, doing
business as “[                ]”, shall be owned by Tenant and shall use the taxpayer identification number of Tenant. Tenant shall take such actions
necessary to establish such authority. The Bank Accounts may include: 
 (a) one (1) or more accounts for
the purposes of collecting all funds received in the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas (collectively, the “Operating Account”); and 
  

 12 








 (b) one (1) or more accounts into which amounts sufficient to cover all
Operating Personnel Costs shall be deposited from time to time by Manager (by transfer of funds from the Operating Account) or Tenant (if sufficient funds are not then available in the Operating Account) (collectively, the “Payroll
Account”). 
 5.3.2 Authorized Signatories. Subject in all respects to the terms and conditions
of the Operating Leases and the CMBS Financing Documents, Manager’s designees shall be the only Persons authorized to draw funds from the Bank Accounts, and Manager shall be entitled to make deposits in all of the Bank Accounts in accordance
with this Agreement and Manager’s standard accounting policies and practices for substantially all of the Other Managed Resorts. 

5.3.3 Liability for Loss in Bank Accounts. Tenant shall bear all losses suffered in any of the Bank Accounts, or in
any investment of funds into any such Bank Account, and Manager shall have no liability or responsibility for such losses. 

5.3.4 Disbursement of Funds from Tenant. Subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set forth in the CMBS
Financing Documents and the Operating Leases, Manager shall have, and Tenant shall cause Manager to have, authority to access and direct all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account and/or the Cash Management Account (as defined in the
Mortgage Loan Agreement) (which may constitute “Operating Accounts” hereunder). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the CMBS Financing Documents, Manager shall have the authority to cause the disbursement of funds on deposit
in the Operating Account in connection with Manager’s management and operation of the Resort as set forth herein. 
 5.4
Purchasing. Manager or its Affiliates may, in its discretion, make centralized purchasing programs available to the Managed Resorts (whether on a national, regional, mandatory, optional or other basis) (each, a “Purchasing
Program”). Manager shall make its Purchasing Program available to the Resort on terms not materially different that those offered to Other Managed Resorts (including the Other CMBS Entities) in Nevada or New Jersey. Manager may elect, in
its discretion, but subject to the terms of this Section 5.4, to purchase any FF&E and Supplies for the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas from a Purchasing Program maintained by Manager or its Affiliates, provided that
Manager shall use reasonable efforts to ensure the total cost of goods and services (including any mark-up, expense, fees and/or other remuneration attributable to providing such services and net of any discounts or rebates which would have been
available) determined as a whole and on an annual basis is generally on terms no less favorable to Tenant than that which would be available through unrelated third-party vendors in an arm’s-length transaction. Tenant acknowledges and agrees
that Manager and its Affiliates shall have the right, from time to time, to (a) modify the fees, costs or terms of any such Purchasing Program, including adding FF&E and Supplies to, and deleting FF&E and Supplies from, such Purchasing
Program; (b) terminate all or any portion of any such Purchasing Program; (c) subject to this Section 5.4, receive payments, fees, commissions or reimbursements from suppliers and third parties in respect of such purchases; and

 13 








 5.5 Parking & Driveway Areas. In the event that at any time during
the Term, the Parking & Driveway Areas are not included as part of the Manager Operated Areas, Manager shall have the right to approve the arrangements for such Operation, including the identity of any Third-Party Operator and in any event,
Tenant shall ensure that sufficient parking within the Parking & Driveway Areas is made available for the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas, in locations and on terms reasonably approved by Manager. 

5.6 Use of Affiliates by Manager. In performing its obligations under this Agreement, Manager from time to time may use the
services of one (1) or more of its Affiliates. If an Affiliate of Manager performs any of the services Manager is required to provide under this Agreement, Manager shall be ultimately responsible to Tenant for its Affiliate’s performance.

 5.7 Limitation on Manager’s Obligations. 

5.7.1 Availability of Sufficient Funds. Manager’s obligations under this Agreement are subject in all respects
to the availability of sufficient funds from the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas, or which are otherwise provided by Tenant. All costs and expenses of Operating the Manager Operated Areas shall be payable out of funds from the Operating
Accounts, or which are otherwise provided by Tenant. In no event shall Manager be obligated to pledge or use its own credit or advance any of its own funds to pay any such costs or expenses for the Manager Operated Areas. Accordingly,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Manager shall be relieved from its obligations to Operate the Manager Operated Areas in compliance with the Operating Standard and in accordance with this Agreement whenever and to the
extent that Manager is prevented or restricted in any way from doing so by reason of (a) the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event; (b) Tenant’s breach of its obligation to provide sufficient funds as required under this Agreement
following any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure under the Mortgage; or (c) any limitation or restriction in this Agreement on Manager’s authority or ability to expend funds in respect of the Manager Operated Areas, but solely to
the extent such limitation or restriction prevents Manager from performing its obligations hereunder. 
 5.7.2
Pre-Existing Conditions and External Events. If any environmental, construction, personnel, real property-related or other problems arise at the Manager Operated Areas during the Term that (a) relate to the Operation or condition of the
Manager Operated Areas, or activities undertaken at the Manager Operated Areas or on the Land, prior to the Effective Date; or (b) are caused by or arise from sources outside of the Manager Operated Areas, Manager’s services under this
Agreement shall not extend to management of any remediation, abatement or other correction of such problems, and Tenant shall retain full managerial and financial responsibility and liability for and control over the remediation, abatement and
correction of such problems, and shall take such actions in a timely manner with as little disturbance or interruption of the use and Operation of the Manager Operated Areas as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such
problems exist, Manager may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to undertake reasonable remediation, abatement and correction efforts; provided, however, if there is a reasonable likelihood that such

  

 14 








 
problems could cause criminal or civil liability to Manager or damage to the Manager Operated Areas or injury to persons or property and regardless of whether or not Tenant has requested Manager
to take any such curative actions, Manager shall have the right to take all reasonably necessary steps to comply with any Applicable Law, or to avoid criminal or civil liability to Manager, or damage to the Manager Operated Areas or injury to
Persons or property; provided, further, that any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Manager in connection therewith shall be paid or reimbursed promptly by Tenant. 

5.8 Ownership of FF&E. Tenant and Manager acknowledge and agree that all fixtures, structures and other improvements
and all FF&E shall become the property of Landlord upon the terms set forth in Section 5.7 of the Operating Lease.

has at all times collected, stored, transmitted, processed and maintained in all material respects all Resort Guest Data and Employee Data in accordance with all Applicable Laws and all privacy policies in place from time to time in connection with
the Operation of the Resort and the other Properties. Tenant hereby represents, warrants and covenants that through the date hereof it has at all times collected, stored, transmitted, processed and maintained in all material respects all Resort
Guest Data and Employee Data in a manner that would permit Manager and/or Tenant to transfer such Resort Guest Data and Employee Data subject to and in accordance with Section 13.4.4 of this Agreement. Each of Tenant and Manager hereby
represents, warrants and covenants that at all times during the term of this Agreement it shall collect, store, transmit, process and maintain in all material respects all Resort Guest Data and Employee Data in accordance with all Applicable Laws
and all privacy policies in place from time to time in connection with the Operation of the Resort. Each of Tenant and Manager hereby represents, warrants and covenants that at all times during the term of this Agreement it shall collect, store,
transmit, process and maintain in all material respects all Resort Guest Data and Employee Data in a manner that would permit Manager and/or Tenant to transfer such Resort Guest Data and Employee Data subject to and in accordance with
Section 13.4.4 of this Agreement. Each of Tenant and Manager agrees and acknowledges that the privacy policies applicable to the Resort Guest Data and Employee Data may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise changed in a manner that
would expressly prohibit Manager and/or Tenant from transferring such Resort Guest Data and Employee Data to Landlord or Landlord’s designee in accordance with Section 13.4.4 of this Agreement without the prior written consent of
Lender. 
 ARTICLE VI.

 15 








 6.2 Exceptions. Section 6.1 shall not apply to information:

 (a) which shall become published or otherwise generally available to the public, except in consequence of a
willful or negligent act or omission by the recipient party in contravention of the obligations in Section 6.1;

avoid and limit such disclosure; 
 (d) which has been independently developed by the recipient Party otherwise
than in the course of the exercise of that Party’s rights under this Agreement or the implementation of this Agreement;

to a third party (provided such party agrees to be bound by the same duty of confidentiality); 
 (f) which is
disclosed to any applicable tax authority to the extent required by a legal obligation; or 
 (g) required to
obtain the advice of professionals or consultants who are necessary to perform the services under this Agreement to the applicable standards, financing for the Resort from an institutional lender or investor who is known to be reputable, or in
furtherance of a permitted or proposed sale of the Resort to a third party who is known to be reputable (provided any such party agrees to be bound by the same duty of confidentiality and that no Manager Confidential Information will be disclosed to
a Prohibited Person). 
 Each Party acknowledges that the disclosure or unauthorized use of the other Party’s Confidential
Information in violation of this ARTICLE VI will cause irreparable injury to Manager and/or its Affiliates, for which monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy.

relating to the Manager Operated Areas or the Resort and neither Party shall issue any press release or other public statement relating to the Manager Operated Areas or the Resort without the prior written approval of the other Party, except for any

[                ] Gaming Authorities, investor and lender reports and presentations, financing documents and offering materials. 

6.4 Survival. The provisions of this ARTICLE VI shall survive any expiry or termination of this Agreement, except

ARTICLE VII. 

BOOKS AND RECORDS 

7.1 Maintenance of Books and Records. Manager shall keep and maintain or shall cause to be kept and maintained on an
Operating Year basis, in accordance with GAAP, proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of the financial affairs, and all items of income and expense, in connection with the Operation of the Resort. Tenant shall have the right
from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Manager or any other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such copies or
extracts thereof as Tenant shall desire. All of the financial books and records of the Resort, including books of account and front office records shall be the property of Tenant; provided, however, Manager shall be entitled to retain, at its
cost, a copy of such books and records. 
 7.2 Financial Reports. Manager will furnish, or cause to be furnished,
to Tenant on or before sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal quarter the following items: (i) quarterly and year-to-date operating statements (including Capital Expenditures) noting such information as is necessary and sufficient to
fairly represent in all material respects the financial position and results of Operation of the Resort during such quarter, all in form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant; and (ii) a calculation reflecting the Revenues, gross hotel and casino
revenues, EBITDAM and Capital Expenditures (allocated between maintenance and growth), in each case for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period as of the last day of such quarter. 

7.3 Certified Financial Reports. Manager will furnish to Tenant annually, within no more than one hundred twenty
(120) days following the end of each Operating Year of Manager, a complete copy of the annual financial statements of the Resort, audited by a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant acceptable to
Tenant in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis acceptable to Tenant) covering the Resort for such Operating Year and containing statements of profit and loss for the Resort and a balance sheet for the Resort (the “Certified
Financial Reports”). All such Certified Financial Reports shall set forth the financial condition and the results of operations for the Resort for such Operating Year, and shall include, but not be limited to, amounts representing
Manager’s reasonable and good faith determination of aggregate annual EBITDAM from the Resort and capital expenditures (allocated between maintenance and growth) at the Resort. The Certified Financial Reports, as described above, shall be
accompanied by (1) a comparison of the budgeted 
  

 17 








 
income and expenses and the actual income and expenses for the prior Operating Year, and (2) an unqualified opinion of a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified
public accountant reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Any audits performed by or on behalf of Manager (and any audited materials and other information provided to Tenant, as required hereunder in order for Manager to comply with the requirements of
this Section 7.3) may be performed with respect to the Managed Resorts on a “combining basis” (so that a single audit of the Managed Resorts, rather than an individual audit for the Resort, may be performed and provided).

 7.4 Delivery of Reports, Statements and Other Information. Any reports, statements or other information
required to be delivered under this ARTICLE VII shall be delivered (i) in paper form, (ii) via email, or, (iii) if requested by Tenant and within the capabilities of Manager’s data systems without change or modification
thereto, in other electronic form and prepared using a Microsoft Word for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows or Microsoft Excel for Windows files (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files).

 ARTICLE VIII. 

TRANSFERS 

8.1 Assignments Restricted. Except as otherwise permitted in this ARTICLE VIII, [and approved by the
[            ] Gaming Authorities,] neither Tenant nor Manager shall directly or indirectly (i) sell, assign, mortgage, convey, alienate, sublease or otherwise transfer,
directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement, (ii) permit any assignment of this Agreement by operation of law, (iii) sell, convey or transfer, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, any
capital stock, membership interests, partnership interests, trust units, or any other direct or indirect equity interest in Tenant or Manager, in each case if same would result in Tenant or Manager no longer being directly or indirectly at least 50%
owned and controlled by HET (provided there shall have been no Transfer of Control in HET) (each of the foregoing, an “Assignment”), without the prior written consent of the other Party (and, other than in connection with an
Assignment to a person described in clause (i) of the definition of Alternate Manager, the consent of Mortgagee), which consent may be granted or withheld in such Party’s (or the Mortgagee’s) sole and absolute discretion. Any
Assignment by a Party in violation of the terms of this ARTICLE VIII shall be void and of no force or effect as between the Parties and shall constitute an Event of Default. In no event shall an Alternate Manager have the right to earn
greater or additional fees or expenses than those set forth in this Agreement. 
 8.2 Transfers and Permitted
Assignments. Landlord shall be permitted to collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement pursuant to the CMBS Financing Documents. Additionally, subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the CMBS Financing Documents and
the Operating Leases, Tenant and Manager agree that any transactions whereby Tenant and Manager continue to be majority owned and controlled by HET (provided there shall have been no Transfer of Control in HET) shall be permitted, provided that
immediately prior to such Assignment, no Event of Default (under and as defined in the Operating Lease and the CMBS Financing Documents) shall have occurred and be continuing. 

 

 18 








 8.3 If Tenant, Manager, or Mortgagee (to the extent required) consents in writing to an
Assignment, (a) Tenant or Manager shall give prior written notice of such Assignment to the other Party and to Mortgagee, (b) any assignee of Tenant’s or Manager’s interest under this Agreement shall be required to execute and
deliver an assumption of all obligations of Tenant or Manager hereunder that are applicable to such Assignment, pursuant to an instrument satisfactory to the other Party and to Mortgagee, and (c) any such Assignment shall be conditioned upon
obtaining and securing all necessary licenses and Approvals under Gaming Laws and other approvals and consents of Governmental Authorities. 

8.4 With respect to any Assignment requiring Tenant, Manager, or Mortgagee’s consent, the other Party and Mortgagee shall be given
not less than ten (10) days’ advance written notice of the proposed Assignment, which notice shall be delivered to the other Party and Mortgagee together with (i) a true and complete copy of the proposed instrument(s) of the
Assignment, and (ii) such other information and documents as the other Party and Mortgagee may reasonably request or is otherwise required under the CMBS Financing Documents. Tenant or Manager shall pay, on demand, the other Party’s and
Mortgagee’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection with their consideration of whether to grant any such consent to an Assignment (but no fee in excess of $750 shall be charged in connection therewith except as set forth in the Mortgage
Loan Agreement). 
 8.5 Effect of Permitted Transfer. Consent to any particular Transfer shall not be deemed to be
consent to any other Transfer or a waiver of the requirement that consent be obtained in the case of any other Transfer. Upon any Transfer by Tenant or Manager permitted under this ARTICLE VIII or consented to by the other Party, the
transferor shall be relieved of all liabilities and obligations under this Agreement accruing from and after the effective date of such Transfer. 

ARTICLE IX. 

INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

Manager, Mortgagee and Lenders, such insurance policies required pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement. After any foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or similar exercise of remedies under the Mortgage, Landlord shall maintain such insurance
policies required under the Mortgage Loan Agreement (regardless of whether the Mortgage Loan Agreement has been terminated) or such other insurance policies as are acceptable to or required by Landlord or Mortgagee. 

9.2 Waiver of Liability. 

9.2.1 WAIVER OF LIABILITY. AS LONG AS A PARTY AND ANY AFFILIATES REQUESTED BY SUCH PARTY ARE A NAMED INSURED OR
ADDITIONAL INSURED UNDER THE OTHER PARTY’S INSURANCE POLICIES, OR THE POLICIES OTHERWISE PERMIT IF SUCH PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES ARE NOT SO NAMED, SUCH PARTY HEREBY RELEASES THE OTHER PARTY, AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR TRUSTEES,
BENEFICIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, AND THE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF 
  

 19 








 
EACH OF THE FOREGOING, FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, DAMAGE, LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE INCURRED BY THE RELEASING PARTY, WHETHER OR NOT DUE TO THE NEGLIGENT OR OTHER ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE PERSONS SO
RELEASED TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY, DAMAGE, LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE IS COVERED BY THE INSURANCE POLICIES OF THE RELEASING PARTY, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS RECEIVED. 

9.3 Indemnification. 

9.3.1 Indemnification by Tenant. Subject to Sections 9.3.3 and 9.3.4, Tenant shall defend, indemnify,
and hold harmless Manager and its Affiliates, and their respective shareholders, members, partners, trustees, beneficiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents, and the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the
“Manager Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any and all Claims that any such party may have alleged against it, incur, become responsible for or pay out for any reason related to: (a) the design, construction,
development, or ownership of the Resort; (b) the Resort (whether directly or indirectly, in whole or in part) to the extent arising or occurring prior to or subsequent to the Effective Date; or (c) Manager’s remediation, abatement
and/or correction efforts as may be exercised in connection with Manager’s rights under Section 5.7.2, except in each case to the extent any Claim is caused by Manager’s Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct. 

9.3.2 Indemnification by Manager. Subject to Sections 9.3.3 and 9.3.4, Manager shall defend,
indemnify, and hold harmless Tenant, Landlord, Mortgagee, each Lender and their respective Affiliates and their shareholders, members, partners, trustees, beneficiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents, and the successors and assigns of
each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Tenant Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any and all Claims that any Tenant Indemnified Party or Parties may incur, become responsible for, or pay out to the extent caused by
Manager’s Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct. 
 9.3.3 Insurance Coverage. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3, the Parties shall look first to the appropriate insurance coverages in effect pursuant to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Agreement prior to seeking indemnification under this
Section 9.3 in the event any claim or liability occurs as a result of injury to persons or damage to property, regardless of the cause of such claim or liability; provided, however, if the insurance company denies coverage or
reserves rights as to coverage, then the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to seek indemnification, without first looking to such insurance coverage. In addition, nothing contained in this Section 9.3 shall in any way affect the
releases set forth in Section 9.2.1. 
 9.3.4 Indemnification Procedures. Any Indemnified
Party shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, to the timely appointment of counsel by the Indemnifying Party for the defense of any Claim, which counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party. If, in the
Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, a material conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party at any time during the defense of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may appoint independent
counsel of its choice for the defense of the Indemnified Party as to such Claim. In addition, regardless of whether the Indemnified Party has appointed counsel or selects independent counsel (a) the

  

 20 








 
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Claim and approve any proposed settlement of such Claim (unless such settlement involves only the payment of money, the
Indemnifying Party pays all amounts due in connection with or by reason of such settlement and, as part thereof, the Indemnified Party is unconditionally released from all liability in respect of such Claim, in which case such approval shall not be
required); and (b) all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to timely pay such costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees and costs), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such amounts and be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for the same, together with interest thereon in accordance with
Section 3.5 until paid in full. The Parties hereby acknowledge that it shall not be a defense to a demand for indemnity that less than all Claims asserted against the Indemnified Party are subject to indemnification. If a Claim is
covered by the Indemnifying Party’s liability insurance, the Indemnified Party shall not knowingly take or omit to take any action that would cause the insurer not to defend such Claim or to disclaim liability in respect thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be construed to create a benefit for a third party except for Mortgagee, Lenders, and for other Indemnified Parties. 

9.3.5 Survival. This Section 9.3 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE X. 

RIGHT OF ACCESS

agents, representatives and employees of a Mortgagee or Lender to enter the Resort to inspect the Resort or any part thereof during reasonable business hours upon reasonable advance notice, subject to the rights of tenants under leases and subject
to Gaming Laws and without material disturbance to guests; provided, however, that (a) any actual, out-of-pocket third-party expenses incurred in connection with such activities shall be at the sole cost and expense of Tenant or, if
incurred by Manager, treated as Reimbursable Expenses, but in any event shall not be included as Operating Expenses and (b) subject to the terms and conditions of the CMBS Financing Documents and the Operating Leases, Tenant shall cause such
Mortgagee or Lender to agree to treat as confidential any information such Mortgagee or Lender obtains from examining the books and records of the Manager Operated Areas. Mortgagee or Lender must conduct all its activities at the Hotel in a manner
that will minimize disruption of the business Operations of the Hotel and not materially interfere with the use of the Hotel by Hotel guests.

BUSINESS INTERRUPTION 

11.1 Proceeds of Business Interruption Insurance. The net proceeds of any Business Interruption Insurance claim (after the
application of any deductible) shall be deposited in the Operating Account and used by Manager in the same manner as funds generated from the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas are used by Manager in accordance with this Agreement, including

(c) other than as set forth in (a) or (b) above, if, following the date on which a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure or similar exercise of remedies under the Mortgage has occurred (such that Manager and Landlord are no longer affiliated entities), Tenant or Landlord (or Mortgagee, on its or their behalf) fails to perform any of the other material

Information and Systems and other Intellectual Property utilized by Manager in operating the Resort (such activities, collectively, the “Diligence Activities”). 

(b) Manager agrees that, immediately following the earliest to occur of (i) the thirtieth (30
th) day following a Lease Default (unless Mortgagee
or a servicer on its behalf sends to Manager and Tenant a notice, within such thirty (30) days following the Lease Default, to the effect that such Lease Default shall not automatically trigger the Transition Period Commencement Date),
(ii) at any time following the occurrence of a Mortgage Loan Default, the receipt by Manager and Tenant of a notice from Mortgagee (or a servicer on its behalf) requesting that the Transition Period commence (and confirming that Mortgagee is
prepared for the Transition Period to commence), or (iii) the
30th day following a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure of the Premises (unless, within such thirty (30) days following such foreclosure, deed-in-lieu or assignment, Mortgagee or a servicer on its behalf sends to Manager and Tenant a notice to the effect that the foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu shall not automatically trigger the Transition Period Commencement Date) (the earliest such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Transition Period Commencement Date”), Manager shall continue to manage the Resort
pursuant to and subject to the terms of this Agreement and, in addition, in order to facilitate the orderly transition of the business of the Casino and the Resort as a going concern and the ability of Mortgagee to transfer that business to a third

the Transition Period prior to the expiration of such two (2)-year period or (ii) if Manager terminates this Agreement pursuant to a Tenant Event of Default under Section 13.3.1(b)) (such period, the “Transition Period”),
provided that, except for its obligations to transfer Tenant Proprietary Information and Systems and other data required to be transferred under Section 13.4.4, nothing in this Agreement shall require Manager to share any Manager
Confidential Information with any Prohibited Person. For the avoidance of doubt, during the pendency of the Transition Period, (i) the Operating Fees, Reimbursable Expenses, Shared Services Charges and all other amounts payable hereunder shall
continue to be payable in the amounts, and as otherwise, set forth herein (provided that Manager (and not Tenant, pursuant to Section 13.2.2) is performing the duties and obligations of Manager hereunder including the Transition
Services) and (ii) this Agreement shall otherwise not terminate until the end of the Transition Period. 
  

 25 








 13.4.4 Transfer of Resort Guest Data, Employee Data and Tenant

satisfactory to Landlord, collected or held by, or otherwise in possession or control of, Manager and/or HOC, and/or owned by HOC, that is current up to and including the dates specified in this Section 13.4.4. During the period
immediately prior to the effective date of termination of this Agreement at the end of the Transition Period, Manager will, with the assistance of HOC pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement, transfer and assign to Landlord or Landlord’s
designee the Tenant Proprietary Information and Systems held by, or otherwise in possession or control of, Manager and/or HOC, and/or owned by HOC. Following such transfer and assignment, both Landlord and HOC shall each own one hundred percent
(100%) of their respective copy of the Resort Guest Data and Employee Data, free and clear and without any restrictions whatsoever, provided that use of such transferred and assigned Resort Guest Data and Employee Data shall be in compliance
with U.S. federal and state law related thereto. Landlord and HOC agree that, following such transfer and assignment, each of Landlord and HOC shall be separate owners, and not joint owners, of the Resort Guest Data and Employee Data, and shall not
have any duty to account to the other for commercialization or other use of Resort Guest Data or Employee Data or any derivative works pertaining or related to Resort Guest Data or Employee Data. 

13.4.5 Termination following Conclusion of Transition Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate at the expiration of the Transition Period. 
 13.5 Remedies for Event of
Default. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if any default shall have occurred, the non-defaulting Party shall have the right to exercise against the defaulting Party any rights and remedies available to the non-defaulting Party under
this Agreement or (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) at law or in equity; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Agreement by reason of the occurrence of a Manager Event of Default, except in
accordance with Section 13.2 above and unless (a) the Event of Default is material in amount or in its adverse effect on the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas or the Resort; (b) the Event of Default constitutes
intentional misconduct, reckless behavior or repeated Events of Default of a similar nature by the Manager; or (c) the remedies under this Agreement are inadequate to redress such Event of Default. 

13.6 Notice of Termination. If termination of this Agreement is an available remedy, such remedy shall be exercised by a
non-defaulting Party (or, in the case of a Manager Event of Default, by Mortgagee in accordance with Section 13.2.2) only by irrevocable and unconditional written notice in accordance with Section 16.5 to the defaulting
Party, in which case this Agreement shall terminate on either (a) the date specified in this Agreement; or (b) if not specified in this Agreement, the date specified by the non-defaulting Party in the termination

  

 26 








 
notice, which date shall in no event be sooner than five (5) days nor later than thirty (30) days, after the delivery of such notice. The right of termination shall be in addition to,
and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies at law or in equity by reason of the occurrence of any such Event of Default, it being understood and agreed that the exercise of the remedy of termination shall not constitute an election of remedies
and shall be without prejudice to any such other rights or remedies otherwise available to the non-defaulting Party. 
 13.7
Actions to Be Taken on Termination. The Parties shall take the following actions upon the expiration or termination (including upon the completion of any Transition Period) of this Agreement: 

13.7.1 Payment of Expenses for Termination. All expenses arising as a result of such termination or as a result of
the cessation of Manager Operated Areas Operations by Manager (including expenses arising under this Section 13.7), shall be for the sole account of Tenant, and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.2(c) of the Mortgage
Loan Agreement and the “cash trap” established as described in Section 2.6.2(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Tenant shall reimburse Manager within fifteen (15) days following receipt of any invoice from Manager for any
expenses incurred by Manager in the course of effecting the expiration or termination of this Agreement or the cessation of Manager Operated Areas Operations by Manager in accordance with terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood
and agreed that expenses in respect of severance benefits arising in connection with severing the employment of Operating Personnel are not subject to or addressed by this Section 13.7.1.

This obligation is unconditional and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement (including all amounts owed to Manager that are not fully ascertainable as of the expiration or termination date), and Tenant shall not have the right
to exercise any rights of setoff, except to the extent of any outstanding and undisputed payments owed to Tenant by Manager under this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.2(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the

 13.7.4 Proprietary Information and Systems. Upon the expiration or
termination of this Agreement, Tenant, Landlord, and/or Mortgagee, as applicable shall: 
 (a) not directly or
indirectly at any time or in any manner (i) use, copy or retain any Proprietary Information and Systems, provided that and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this restriction shall not include nor apply to any
Resort Guest Data, Employee Data, or Tenant Proprietary Information and Systems conveyed, transferred, or assigned to Landlord pursuant to Section 13.4.4 of this Agreement, or (ii) represent that any of the Manager Operated Areas is
Operated as a “Harrah’s” branded hotel and casino or otherwise associated with the Proprietary Information and Systems that is retained by Manager or its Affiliates, successors and assigns upon expiration or termination of this
Agreement; 
 (b) not directly or indirectly hold itself or the Resort out to the public as being or remaining
(or otherwise associated) with any Other Managed Resorts, or any project or resort managed by Manager or its Affiliates; 

(c) take such reasonable action within Tenant, Landlord, and/or Mortgagee’s (as applicable) control and at its
reasonable expense as may be required to cancel all fictitious or assumed name registrations relating to Tenant’s, Landlord’s, and/or Mortgagee’s, as applicable, use of any Proprietary Information and Systems; 

(d) take such reasonable action at its reasonable expense as may be necessary to notify the telephone company and all
telephone directory publishers known to Tenant, Landlord, and/or Mortgagee, as applicable about the termination or expiration of Tenant, Landlord, and/or Mortgagee’s right to use any telephone number and any regular, classified or other
telephone directory listings associated with any Proprietary Information and Systems (other than Tenant Proprietary Information Systems) and to authorize transfer of such number to Manager or at Manager’s direction; provided, however,
that this clause (d) shall not apply to the telephone numbers and regular, classified or other telephone directory listings for the Resort; and 

(e) remove from the Resort, and discontinue using for any purpose, all FF&E, Operating Supplies, signage and other
materials that display any materials licensed pursuant to the System License Agreement or any distinctive features, images, or designs of the “Harrah’s” brand (except that FF&E containing distinctive features, images or designs of
the “Harrah’s” brand need not be removed from the Resort provided that such features, images and designs can be and have been covered, removed or obliterated), and make such non-structural alterations consistent with the continued
Operation of the Resort in its ordinary course and as may be necessary to distinguish the Resort so clearly from its former appearance as a “Harrah’s” brand hotel and casino and from Other Managed Resorts as to prevent any reasonable
likelihood of confusion by the public, including such actions as reasonably required in any de-identification checklist provided to Tenant, Landlord, and/or Mortgagee, as applicable. If Tenant, Landlord, and/or Mortgagee, as applicable, fails to
remove signage from the Resort bearing any Trademarks licensed pursuant to the System License Agreement on or prior to the effective date of the termination, Manager shall have the right, following the effective date of the termination and upon
reasonable notice to the Tenant, Landlord, and/or Mortgagee, as applicable, to remove and retain all such interior and exterior signage bearing the “Harrah’s” trade name or any Trademarks licensed pursuant to the System License
Agreement without any liability to Tenant, Landlord, and/or Mortgagee, as applicable for the cost to restore or repair the Resort premises or equipment for damage resulting therefrom, subject to Manager acting with reasonable care and using
reasonable efforts to minimize damage to the Resort. 
  

 28 








 In addition, upon termination of this Agreement at the end of the Transition Period, neither Manager nor
Tenant shall directly or indirectly at any time or in any manner use, copy or retain any Tenant Proprietary Information and Systems. 

13.7.5 [Reserved]. 

13.7.6 Equipment Leases for Brand Programs. If Manager has leased any computer, telephone or other
telecommunications equipment for use at the Manager Operated Areas in connection with any Centralized Services under this Agreement, Tenant shall request that either (a) Manager transfer such lease to Tenant; or (b) Tenant, at
Tenant’s expense, buy out the equipment lease. Any such transfer or buy-out of the equipment lease shall be subject to any restrictions on assignability imposed under Applicable Law and (to the extent required under the equipment lease) the
consent or approval of the third-party lessor of such equipment. If the equipment lease is not transferable or cannot be bought out, Manager shall at its sole cost and expense remove all such equipment from the Manager Operated Areas after the
effective date of expiration or termination of this Agreement. 
 13.7.7 Bookings and Reservations. Tenant
shall honor, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any successor Manager to honor, all business confirmed for the Manager Operated Areas with reservations made in good faith and in the ordinary course of business by Manager
(including for employee complimentary or discounted rooms, guest frequency program, or pursuant to Manager’s or Manager’s other promotional programs) dated after the effective date of the expiration or termination in accordance with such
bookings as accepted by Manager. Tenant will assume responsibility for all advance deposits received by Manager for the Manager Operated Areas, provided that any such deposits were deposited by Manager into the Bank Accounts. 

13.7.8 Funds in Operating Accounts; Receivables. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.2(c) of the
Mortgage Loan Agreement and the “cash trap” created as described therein, any amounts remaining in the Operating Account on the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be available to Tenant; provided, however, that
Manager may first deduct and retain all undisputed amounts owed by Tenant to Manager and its Affiliates under this Agreement. All receivables of the Manager Operated Areas outstanding as of the effective date of termination or expiration, including,
without limitation, guest ledger receivables, shall continue to be the property of Tenant. Manager will turn over to Tenant any receivables collected directly by Manager after the effective date of termination which relate to business conducted
during the term of this Agreement. 
 13.7.9 Progressive Slot Liability. In the event that any of the
sales tax and/or LET tax obligations are not known until after the effective date of any termination of this Agreement, Manager shall, on or before the effective date of such termination, allocate from the funds available in the respective Operating
Accounts a reasonable estimate of any sales tax, LET tax, and/or any other tax or liability attributable to the Gaming devices, including, without limitation, any progressive slot liability. Any such costs or expenses referenced in this
