subject to claw-back or disgorgement, to the extent applicable, under (A) the Policies or any claw-back policy adopted by the Company, (B) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as amended, and rules, regulations, and
binding, published guidance thereunder, which legislation provides for the clawback and recovery of incentive compensation in the event of certain financial statement restatements and (C) the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002. If pursuant to Section
10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) would not be eligible for continued listing, if applicable, under Section 10D(a) of the Act if it (or they)
did not adopt policies consistent with Section 10D(b) of the Act, then, in accordance with those policies that are so required, any incentive-based compensation payable to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise shall be subject to claw-back in
the circumstances, to the extent, and in the manner, required by Section 10D(b)(2) of the Act, as interpreted by rules of the Securities Exchange Commission. Nothing in this provision is intended to supersede any existing or future claw-back
provision adopted or amended by the Company, including, but not limited to the provision set forth in the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan.
  

6. Other Benefits.

	3
	  

	 


  
 “HRC”). LTI grants are subject to vesting schedules at the discretion of the HRC. Executive will have an annual
equity grant target of 150% of Executive’s base salary based on value at time of grant using the company’s typical methods for valuing equity. Executive understands and acknowledges that the actual value of equity to be granted is at the
discretion of the HRC and is not guaranteed. Further, the actual future value of LTI grants is subject to risk based on the performance of the company’s stock and cannot be guaranteed.

employees of the Company, or which it may adopt from time to time, for its employees, in accordance with the eligibility requirements for participation therein. Nothing herein shall be construed as a limitation on the ability of the Company to
adopt, amend, or terminate any such plans, policies, or programs.
  
 (c) Vacations. During the Term of Employment, Executive
shall be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the normal vacation policies of the Company, as applicable to employees at Executive's level.

90th day. “Good standing” shall mean actively employed on the Company’s payroll, and not on a final written warning or action plan.
  

(g) Proposed Retention Program. Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Proposed Retention Program (as defined in the Amendment No. 1 to Form S-4 filed by
Caesars Entertainment Corporation on June 5, 2017), if and when adopted. Executive understands and agrees that the granting and vesting of any equity grants are to be determined at the sole discretion of the HRC. Executive understands and agrees
that the Company cannot guarantee a period required for vesting for any grant of equity. Rather, the HRC will set the vesting schedule in its sole discretion. The Company will recommend to the HRC that Executive receive a retention grant target of
one million eight hundred fifty six thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($1,856,250) based on value at time of grant, using the company’s typical methods

 for valuing equity. Executive understands and acknowledges that the actual amount and value of equity to
be granted is at the sole discretion of the HRC and is not guaranteed.

Disability (as defined below). “Disability” shall mean Executive has been unable to perform Executive’s duties hereunder on a full-time basis for a period of ninety (90) days during any three hundred sixty-five (365) day

from Executive’s duties herein and bar Executive from its premises during the Company’s investigation of such acts (or failures to act) and any such suspension shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company and/or
otherwise provide Executive a right to terminate Executive’s employment for Good Reason (the “Investigation Period”); provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause
immediately and nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company to provide an Investigation Period or otherwise provide advance notice of termination for Cause. In addition to violation of the provisions contained in paragraph 13 of this
Agreement, for purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) Executive’s commission of or guilty plea or plea of no contest to a felony (or its equivalent under applicable law), (ii) conduct by Executive that constitutes fraud

to Executive, in any jurisdiction in which the Company, Caesars Entertainment Corporation, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates conducts operations, (viii) Executive’s violation, as determined by the Company in its sole
discretion, of any securities or employment laws or regulations, or (ix) Executive’s material breach of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement or material violation of the Policies as determined 

 
 
	 
	5
	  

	 


  
 by the Company in its sole discretion. Executive shall have thirty (30) days to cure any and all actions
supporting the Company’s Cause finding under (iv), (v) and (ix) above, subject to the Company’s determination that such act is curable and to the Company’s sole discretion that Executive has successfully cured any and all actions
supporting Cause for termination.
  
 (d) Without Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate
Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause, at any time and for any reason or no reason, by providing Executive with a Notice of Termination.
  

(e) By Executive. Executive shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder without Good Reason (as defined below) by providing the Company with a Notice of

Executive under this Agreement.
  
 (f) Due to Expiration of the Term of Employment. The Term of Employment
shall terminate upon the expiration of the then current Term of Employment in the event that either Party delivers a Notice of Non-Renewal to the other Party in accordance with Section 1 of this Agreement.

 (b) Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s death during
the Term of Employment, Executive or Executive’s beneficiary, legal representative, or estate shall receive the Accrued Obligations. Thereafter, the Company shall have no further obligation under this Agreement to Executive or
Executive’s beneficiaries, legal representatives or estate except as otherwise required by applicable law.
  
 (c) Termination
Without Cause, For Good Reason, or upon Expiration of the Term of Employment Due to Company’s Issuance of a Notice of Non-Renewal, or for Disability. In the event that Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated
by the Company without Cause under Section 7(d) of this Agreement, by Executive with Good Reason under Section 7(e) of this Agreement, upon expiration of the Term of Employment due to Company’s issuance of a Notice of Non-Renewal pursuant to
Section 7(f) of this Agreement, or by the Company for Disability under Section 7(b) of this Agreement during the Term of Employment, the Company shall pay or provide to Executive the Accrued Obligations and, subject to Executive’s signing a
separation agreement and release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (with such changes as may be necessary due to applicable law) (the “Release”) within twenty-one (21) days or forty-five (45) days, whichever period is applicable
under the ADEA (as defined in Exhibit B) following the Date of Termination, and not revoking the Release within seven (7) days of signing it, the Company shall pay to Executive a severance amount equal to Executive’s monthly rate of Base
Salary (i.e., 1/12 of Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary) for each of eighteen (18) months (the “Severance Period”) commencing after execution of the release by Executive, but in no case sooner than expiration of the 7-day
waiting period set forth in Section 5(b) of Exhibit B, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices; provided, that, the Company may cease making the payments under this Section 9(c) (in addition to asserting any other rights it
may have in law of equity) (i) if Executive is in breach of any of Executive’s obligations under Section 10 of this Agreement and Executive has failed to cure such breach, if curable, within ten (10) days following the Company’s notice
to Executive of such breach; or (2) if Executive is in breach of any of the terms of the Release. If applicable, Executive will be entitled to receive the benefits set forth on Exhibit C hereto during the Severance Period 

 
 (d) Offset. To the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code, in the event of any termination of Executive’s
employment under this Agreement, the Company is specifically authorized to offset against amounts due to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise on account of any claim that any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have
against Executive. 
  
 (e) Executive’s Equity Awards. The Executive’s equity awards, including but not limited to,
options and the shares acquired thereunder, restricted stock and restricted stock units, if any, will be treated in accordance with the terms of the plan pursuant to which such awards and grants were awarded.

defined below); (ii) the Confidential Information has been developed and created by the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates at substantial expense and the Confidential 

 
 
	 
	8
	  

	 


  
 Information constitutes valuable proprietary assets of the Company; (iii) the Company and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates will suffer substantial damage and irreparable harm which will be difficult to compute if, during the Term of Employment or during the Restricted Period as defined in Section 10(c) below, Executive should engage in or
assist a Competitive Business (as defined herein) in violation of the provisions of this Agreement; (iv) the nature of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ business is such that it can be conducted anywhere in the
world and is not limited to a geographic scope or region; (v) the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates will suffer substantial damage which will be difficult to compute if, during the Term of Employment or thereafter, Executive should solicit
or interfere with the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ employees, clients, or customers or should divulge Confidential Information relating to the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in violation
of the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates; (vii) the Company would not have hired or continued to
employ Executive or grant the benefits contemplated under this Agreement unless Executive agreed to be bound by the terms hereof; and (viii) the provisions of this Agreement will not preclude Executive from other gainful employment following
Executive’s termination from the Company. “Competitive Business” as used in this Agreement shall mean any business which owns, operates or manages any casino/resorts, casino/hotels, internet gaming, or other gaming venture
or entity. “Confidential Information” as used in this Agreement shall mean any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data, or information of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, including, without limitation,
any: (A) food and beverage procedures, recipes, finances, financial management systems, player identification systems (Total Rewards), pricing systems, organizational charts, salary and benefit programs, and training programs, (B) trade secrets,
drawings, inventions, methodologies, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source or object codes, data, programs, software source documents, data, film, audio and digital recordings, works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries,
developments, designs or techniques, intellectual property or other work product of the Company or any Affiliate, whether or not patentable or registrable under trademark, copyright, patent, or similar laws; (C) information regarding plans for
research, development, new service offerings and/or products, marketing, advertising, and selling, distribution, business plans, business forecasts, budgets, and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices, costs, suppliers, customers, or
distribution arrangements; (D) non-public information regarding and collected from employees, suppliers, customers, clients, suppliers, vendors, agents, and/or independent contractors of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; (E) concepts and
ideas relating to the development and distribution of content in any medium or to the current, future, or proposed business opportunities, products or services of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate; or (F) any other information, data, or the
like that is designated as confidential or treated as confidential by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
  
 (b)
Confidentiality. In consideration of the compensation and other items of benefit provided for in this Agreement, Executive agrees not to, at any time, either during the Term of Employment or thereafter, divulge, post, use, publish, or in any
other manner reveal, directly or 
  
 
	 
	9
	  

	 


  
 indirectly, to any person, firm, corporation or any other form of business organization or arrangement
and keep in the strictest confidence any Confidential Information, except (i) as may be necessary to the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, (ii) with the express written consent of the Company’s CEO or General Counsel, (iii) to
the extent that any such information is in or becomes in the public domain other than as a result of Executive’s breach of any of obligations hereunder, or (iv) where required to be disclosed by court order, subpoena or other government
process (including but not limited to disclosure(s) required by any gaming regulatory authority) and in such event, provided that Executive notifies the Company in writing in accordance with Section 16 below within three (3) days of receiving such
order, subpoena, or process, cooperates with the Company in seeking an appropriate protective order and in attempting to keep such information confidential to the maximum extent possible. Executive agrees to promptly deliver to the Company the
originals and all copies, in whatever medium, of all such Confidential Information in Executive’s possession, custody or control.
  

In addition, except as otherwise permitted by state or federal law, Executive agrees to keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement confidential, as set forth above, unless disclosure
is otherwise required by applicable law or regulation including disclosure(s) required by any gaming regulatory authority. Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement limits Executive’s ability to file a charge or complaint
with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or
commission (government agencies). Executive further understands that this Agreement does not limit Executive’s ability to communicate with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be
conducted by any government agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the company. Executive may share the terms and conditions of this Agreement with Executive’s spouse, legal counsel, and accountants,
provided that any such individual agrees to keep that information strictly confidential and disclose it to no other person. Executive agrees that if any such individual to whom Executive discloses information regarding the terms of this Agreement
then discloses such information to any other person, Executive will be personally liable for such disclosure as a breach of this Agreement. Executive affirms that Executive has not made any prior disclosures that, if made after signing this
Agreement, would have violated this obligation of confidentiality. Executive understands that confidentiality as set forth in this paragraph 10(b) is an important part of the consideration Executive is giving to the Company in this Agreement and
that it would be very difficult for the Company to quantify the effect of a breach of these provisions, and that, accordingly, injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for any breach of these provisions, whether by Executive or by any person to
whom Executive or Executive’s agent or agents have divulged information regarding the terms of this Agreement. Under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under federal or state
trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or
investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made to Executive’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against Executive for reporting a suspected violation of law; or (c) is made in a complaint or other document filed in
a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

 (c) Non-Compete. The Parties agree that, in the course of Executive performing Executive’s
job duties for the Company, Executive will necessarily become intimately familiar with the Company’s marketing strategies, plans, techniques, systems, and financial portfolios. The Parties further agree that, if Executive were to become
employed by a Competitive Business within eighteen (18) months of the termination of Executive’s employment with Company, Executive would inevitably use and disclose the Company’s Confidential Information to such Competitive Business,
giving such Competitive Business an unfair competitive advantage. In consideration of the compensation and other items of benefit provided for in this Agreement, Executive covenants and agrees that during the Term of Employment and for a period of
eighteen (18) months following the Date of Termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, or from the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of a judgment enforcing this Section, whichever of the foregoing is last to occur (the
“Restricted Period”), Executive will not, for Executive, or in conjunction with any other Person (whether as a shareholder, partner, member, principal, agent, lender, director, officer, manager, trustee, representative, employee,
intern, volunteer, consultant, or in another capacity), directly or indirectly, provide to any Competitive Business the same or substantially similar services as those provided by Executive to the Company whether (i) as a Executive Vice President
and Chief Marketing Officer, (ii) in any substantially similar role irrespective of title or, (iii) if Executive assumes a new position within the Enterprise during the Term of Employment, in the same or substantially similar role as reflected by
such new position. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 10(c) shall not prevent Executive from acquiring securities representing not more than 1% of the outstanding voting securities of any entity the securities of which are
traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter market.
  
 (d) Non-Solicitation of Employees. In
consideration of the compensation and other items of benefit provided for in this Agreement, Executive covenants and agrees that during the Term of Employment and for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Date of Termination of
Executive’s employment for any reason, or from the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of a judgment enforcing this Section, whichever of the foregoing is last to occur, Executive shall not, without the prior written permission of the
Company’s CEO or General Counsel, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, or have or assist any other person or entity to solicit any person who is employed by or providing services to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, at the time
Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, or who was employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates within the six-month period prior to the termination of Executive’s employment or (ii) encourage, assist, entice,
request and/or directly or indirectly cause any employee or consultant of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to breach or threaten to breach any terms of such employee’s or consultant’s agreements with the Company or its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates or to terminate his or her employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
  
 (e)
Non-Solicitation of Clients and Customers. In consideration of the compensation and other items of benefit provided for in this Agreement, Executive covenants and agrees that during the Term of Employment and for a period of eighteen (18)
months following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, or from the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of a judgment or any appeal thereon, whichever of the foregoing is last to occur, Executive will not, for
Executive, or in conjunction with any other Person (whether as a shareholder, partner, member, lender, principal, agent, director, officer, manager, trustee, 
  


	 
	11
	  

	 


  
 representative, employee, consultant or in another capacity), directly or indirectly: (i) solicit any
Person who, to Executive’s knowledge, was an existing or prospective customer, client, supplier, or vendor of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates at the time of, or at the time during the six (6) months preceding, Executive’s
termination of employment (an “Associated Person”); or (ii) request or cause any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ clients, customers, suppliers, or vendors (an “Associated Person”) to
cancel, terminate, reduce or otherwise interfere with any business relationship with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The restrictive covenants detailed in this Section 10(e) shall not apply if: (i) Executive did not solicit the
Associated Person; (ii) the Associated Person voluntarily chooses to cancel, terminate or reduce its relationship with the Company and voluntarily seek the services of Executive; and (iii) Executive otherwise complies with all restrictive covenants
detailed in Section 10.
  
 (f) Post-Employment Property. The Parties agree that any work of authorship, invention, design,
discovery, development, technique, improvement, source code, hardware, device, data, apparatus, practice, process, method, or other work product whatever (whether patentable or subject to copyright, or not, and hereinafter collectively called
“discovery”) that Executive, either solely or in collaboration with others, has conceived, created, made, discovered, invented, developed, perfected, or reduced to practice during the term of Executive’s employment, whether
or not during regular business hours or on the Company’s or any Subsidiaries and Affiliates’ premises, and that is related to Executive’s work for the Company or which results from or is suggested by the work Executive does for or
on behalf of the Company, shall be the sole and complete property of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. More particularly, and without limiting the foregoing, Executive agrees that all of the foregoing and any (i) inventions
(whether patentable or not, and without regard to whether any patent therefor is ever sought); (ii) marks, names, or logos (whether or not registrable as trade or service marks, and without regard to whether registration therefor is ever sought);
(iii) works of authorship (without regard to whether any claim of copyright therein is ever registered); and (iv) trade secrets, ideas, and concepts (subsections (i) - (iv) collectively, “Intellectual Property Products”) created,
conceived, or prepared on the Company’s or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates’ premises or otherwise, whether or not during normal business hours or on the Company’s premises, and related to the Company’s business, shall
perpetually and throughout the world be the exclusive property of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, as shall all tangible media (including, but not limited to, papers, computer media, and digital and cloud-based of all types and
models) in which such Intellectual Property Products shall be recorded or otherwise fixed. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, and at any earlier time the Company so requests, Executive will
immediately deliver to the custody of the person designated by the CEO or General Counsel of the Company all originals and copies of any documents and other property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in Executive’s
possession or under Executive’s custody or control. 
  
 (g) Works for hire. Executive agrees that all works of authorship
created in whole or in part by Executive during Executive’s engagement by the Company and that is related to Executive’s work for the Company or which results from or is suggested by the work Executive does for or on behalf of the
Company, shall be works made for hire of which the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates is the author and owner of copyright. To the extent that any competent decision-making authority should ever determine that any work of authorship created
by Executive during Executive’s engagement by the Company is not a work made for hire, 
  
 
	 
	12
	  

	 


  
 Executive hereby assigns all right, title, and interest in the copyright therein, in perpetuity and
throughout the world, to the Company. To the extent that this Agreement does not otherwise serve to grant or otherwise vest in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates all rights in any Intellectual Property Product created in whole or
in part by Executive during Executive’s engagement by the Company, Executive hereby assigns all right, title, and interest therein, in perpetuity and throughout the world, to the Company. Executive agrees to execute, immediately upon the
Company’s reasonable request and without any additional compensation, any further assignments, applications, conveyances or other instruments, at any time after execution of this Agreement, whether or not Executive remains employed by the
Company at the time such request is made, in order to permit the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and/or their respective successors and assigns to protect, perfect, register, record, maintain, or enhance their rights in any Intellectual
Property Product; provided, that, the Company shall bear the cost of any such assignments, applications, or consequences. 
  

(h) Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees that Executive will not defame, denigrate, or publicly criticize the services, plans, methodologies, business, integrity, veracity or personal
or professional reputation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, partners, executives, or agents in either a professional or personal manner at any time during or following the Term of
Employment. 
  
 (i) Enforcement. If Executive commits a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 10, the Company shall
have the right and remedy to have the provisions specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed by Executive that Executive possesses considerable Confidential Information and that the services being
rendered hereunder are of a special, unique, and extraordinary character and that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the
Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Such right and remedy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, at law or in equity. Accordingly, Executive
consents to the issuance of a temporary and/or preliminary injunction, in aid of arbitration, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. 
  

(j) Modification/Blue Pencil. Except where prohibited, if, at any time, a reviewing court of appropriate jurisdiction called upon to issue an injunction in accordance with Section
10(i) finds any of the provisions of this Section 10 to be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable law, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration, or scope of activity, this Agreement shall be considered divisible and such
court shall have authority to modify or blue pencil this Agreement to cover only such area, duration, and scope as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court. Executive and the Company agree that this Agreement, as so amended,
shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included herein.
  
 (k) EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT EXECUTIVE HAS CAREFULLY READ THIS SECTION 10 AND HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW ITS PROVISIONS WITH ANY ADVISORS AS EXECUTIVE CONSIDERED NECESSARY, AND THAT EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS THIS AGREEMENT’S CONTENTS AND SIGNIFIES SUCH
UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT BY SIGNING BELOW.
  
 
	 
	13
	  

	 


  
 11. Assignability; Binding Nature. The rights and benefits of
Executive hereunder shall not be assignable, whether by voluntary or involuntary assignment or transfer by Executive or otherwise. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the Company, and the
heirs, beneficiaries, executors, and administrators of Executive, and shall be assignable by the Company only to any entity acquiring substantially all of the assets of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or similar
transactions. In the event of such an assignment, Executive shall receive $1,000, subject to applicable deductions and withholding taxes, in addition to Executive’s compensation hereunder as additional consideration for such assignment.

 
 12. Representations. Executive represents and warrants to the Company, and Executive acknowledges that the
Company has relied on such representations and warranties in employing Executive, that neither Executive’s duties as an employee of the Company nor Executive’s performance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will breach any
other obligations of Executive, including under any other agreement to which Executive is a party, including, without limitation, any agreement limiting the use or disclosure of any information acquired by Executive prior to Executive’s
employment by the Company. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has not willfully or knowingly misrepresented or withheld any material fact that the Company would reasonably need to make an informed decision regarding an offer of
employment to Executive. In addition, Executive represents and warrants and acknowledges that the Company has relied on such representations and warranties in employing Executive, and that Executive has not entered into, and will not enter into, any
agreement, either oral or written, in conflict herewith.
  
 13. Compliance. Executive agrees to comply with all
federal, state, local, provincial or other laws or regulations in all jurisdictions both domestic and international. Failure to do so could result in termination of this Agreement for Cause pursuant to paragraph 7(c) of this Agreement. As a holder
of privileged gaming licenses, the Company and its affiliates are required to adhere to strict laws and regulations regarding its associations, including associations with key employees as defined under the Caesars Entertainment Corporation Ethics
and Compliance Program (“E&C Program”). If at any time: (a) the Company’s Compliance Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that Executive is an unsuitable person as that term is defined in the E&C Program, or that
it would be in the Company’s best interest to terminate the employment of Executive in order to protect any proposed or pending gaming licenses or any of its privileged gaming licenses; or (b) the Company is either informed or notified by a
federal, state or local regulatory authority that such regulatory authority will recommend a finding of unsuitability as to Executive, the Company may immediately terminate this Agreement pursuant to paragraph 7(c) of this Agreement. During the term
of this Agreement, to the extent that any prior disclosure made by Executive becomes inaccurate, including but not limited to the initiation of any criminal proceeding or any civil or administrative proceeding or process which alleges any violations
of law involving Executive shall disclose the information to Company within 10 calendar days from that event. Executive agrees to comply with any background investigation conducted in connection with the disclosure of this updated information. If
Executive is or becomes required to be licensed by any federal, state, and/or local gaming regulatory agency and fails to become so licensed, or, once licensed, fails to maintain such license or fails to continue to be suitable by the governmental
regulatory agency, the Company may immediately terminate this Agreement for Cause pursuant to paragraph 7(c) of this
  
 
	 
	14
	  

	 


  
  Agreement. By signing this Agreement, Executive acknowledges that Executive has received a copy of
the E&C Program, the Caesars Anti-Corruption Compliance Policy, and the Caesars Entertainment Corporation Anti-Money Laundering Policy and Program. Executive understands and agrees to comply with these and all other policies adopted by the
Company. Executive shall sign all certification/attestation forms associated with these policies and return them to the Caesars Corporate Compliance Department. Executive further understands Executive’s obligation to report suspected
violations of law, regulation, policies, or of unethical conduct occurring within the Company and/or its affiliates to the Chief Regulatory & Compliance Officer, his/her designee, or through the Ethics and Compliance Hotline, the number for
which is posted on the Caesars Entertainment Corporation intranet website. 
  
 14. Litigation And Regulatory
Cooperation. During the Term of Employment and continuing thereafter upon termination of employment, Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates in the defense or prosecution of any
claims or actions now in existence or that may be brought or threatened in the future against or on behalf of any of the Company, its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, divisions, successors, and assigns, about which the Company believes Executive may have
relevant information. Executive’s cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the
Company, its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors and assigns at mutually convenient times. Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection with any investigation or review by any federal, state, or local regulatory authority as
any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the Company; provided, that, the Company will reimburse Executive for Executive’s reasonable travel expenses
incurred with respect to such cooperation. 
  
 15. Resolution of Disputes. Any dispute arising in connection
with the validity, interpretation, enforcement, or breach of this Agreement or arising out of Executive’s employment or termination of employment with the Company; under any statute, regulation, ordinance or the common law; or otherwise
arising between Executive, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the other hand, the Parties, shall (except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 10(i) with respect to certain requests for injunctive
relief) be submitted to binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for resolution. Such arbitration shall be conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the arbitrator will apply the law of the jurisdiction as
provided in Section 17(h), below, including federal law as applied in the courts in the jurisdiction specified in Section 17(h). The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s Employment Arbitration Rules, as modified by the
terms set forth in this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, who shall be an attorney who specializes in the field of employment law and shall have prior experience arbitrating employment disputes. The Company will
pay the fees and costs of the Arbitrator and/or the AAA, except that Executive will be responsible for paying the applicable filing fee not to exceed the fee that Executive would otherwise pay to file a lawsuit asserting the same claim in court. The
arbitrator shall not have the authority to modify the terms of this Agreement except to the extent that the Agreement violates any governing statue, in which case the arbitrator may modify the Agreement solely as necessary to not conflict with such
statute. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court in the jurisdiction specified in Section 17(h) could grant in conformity with the applicable law on the 

 
 
	 
	15
	  

	 


  
 basis of claims actually made in the arbitration. The Arbitrator shall render an award and written
opinion which shall set forth the factual and legal basis for the award. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment on the award may be confirmed and entered in any state or federal court located in the
jurisdiction specified in Section 17(h). The arbitration shall be conducted on a strictly confidential basis, and Executive shall not disclose the existence of a claim, the nature of a claim, any documents, exhibits, or information exchanged or
presented in connection with any such a claim, or the result of any arbitration (collectively, “Arbitration Materials”), to any third party, with the sole exception of Executive’s legal counsel, who Executive shall ensure
adheres to all confidentiality terms in this Agreement. In the event of any court proceeding to challenge or enforce an arbitrator’s award, the Parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the
jurisdiction specified in Section 17(h) and agree to venue in that jurisdiction. The Parties agree to take all steps necessary to protect the confidentiality of the Arbitration Materials in connection with any such proceeding, agree to file all
Confidential Information (and documents containing Confidential Information) under seal to the extent possible, and agree to the entry of an appropriate protective order encompassing the confidentiality terms of this Agreement. Each party agrees to
pay its own costs and fees in connection with any arbitration of a dispute arising under this Agreement, and any court proceeding arising therefrom, regardless of outcome. To the extent any dispute is found not
to be subject to this arbitration provision, both Executive and Company hereby waive their respective rights to trial by jury. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the arbitrator shall have the authority to award
reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees to the party that substantially prevails.
  
 EXECUTIVE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EXECUTIVE HAS CAREFULLY READ
THIS SECTION 15, VOLUNTARILY AGREES TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES, AND HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 15 WITH ANY ADVISORS AS EXECUTIVE CONSIDERED NECESSARY. BY SIGNING BELOW, EXECUTIVE SIGNIFIES EXECUTIVE’S

 17. Miscellaneous.

 
 (a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including its Exhibits A, B, and C contains the entire understanding and agreement among the
Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations, and undertakings, whether written or oral, among them with respect thereto. 

 
 (b) Amendment or Waiver. No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is set forth in a
writing that specifically identifies the provision being amended and that is signed by Executive and the CEO or Company General Counsel. No waiver by any Person of any breach of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement shall be deemed
a waiver of any similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time.
  
 (c)
Headings. The headings of the Sections and sub-sections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

 
 (d) Beneficiaries/References. Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to
select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit under this Agreement in the event of Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial
determination of Executive’s incompetence, references in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to Executive’s beneficiary, estate or other legal representative.

 
	 
	17
	  

	 


  
 (e) Survivorship. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the
respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement.
  

(f) Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold from any amounts or benefits payable under this Agreement, including its Exhibit B and Exhibit C, any taxes that are required to be
withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
  
 (g) 409A Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payment of the benefits set forth herein either shall either be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or shall comply with the requirements of
such provision. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code as of the Date of Termination, any payments or benefits
due upon a termination of Executive’s employment under any arrangement that constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and which do not otherwise qualify under the exemptions under
Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1 (including without limitation, the short-term deferral exemption and the permitted payments under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)), shall be delayed and paid or provided within thirty (3) days following the
earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after Executive’s separation from service (as defined in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and other published guidance thereunder) for any reason other than death, and (ii) the date
of Executive’s death. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, distributions upon termination of Executive’s employment may only be made upon a “separation from service” as determined under
Section 409A of the Code and such date shall be the Date of Termination for purposes of this Agreement. Each separately identified amount to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise shall be treated as a separate payment for
purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In addition, to the extent possible under Section 409A of the Code, any series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. In no event may
Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement or otherwise if such designation would constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any reimbursements pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise are
taxable to Executive, any reimbursement payment due to Executive shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred; provided,
that, Executive has provided the Company written documentation of such expenses in a timely fashion and such expenses otherwise satisfy the Company’s expense reimbursement policies. Reimbursements pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise
are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such reimbursements that Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such reimbursements that Executive receives in any other taxable year.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives make no guarantee or representation that the payments or benefits provided under this Agreement comply with, or are
exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, and none of the foregoing shall have any liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless Executive or any beneficiary of

 
 
	 
	18
	  

	 


  
 Executive for any Tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that Executive or any beneficiary of
Executive may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof, or any other action taken with respect thereto, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 

 
 (h) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, performed and enforced in accordance with its
express terms, and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada applicable to contracts to be performed therein.
  

(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the
same instrument.
  
 (j) Construction. This Agreement shall not be construed against either Party, and no
consideration shall be given or presumption made on the basis of who drafted the Agreement or any particular provision hereof or who supplied the form of this Agreement. In construing the Agreement, (i) examples shall not be construed to limit,
expressly or by implication, the matter they illustrate, (ii) the connectives “and,” “or,” and “and/or” shall be construed either disjunctively or conjunctively so as to construe a sentence or clause most broadly
and bring within its scope all subject matter that might otherwise be construed to be outside of its scope; (iii) the word “includes” and its derivatives means “includes, but is not limited to” and corresponding derivative
expressions, (iv) a defined term has its defined meaning throughout the Agreement, whether it appears before or after the place where it is defined, and (v) the headings and titles herein are for convenience only and shall have no significance in
the interpretation hereof.
  
 (k) Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties agree that each of the
Company’s Affiliates and Subsidiaries are intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and shall have the authority to enforce the provisions applicable to them in accordance with the terms of hereof.

 
 Expenses. Each party shall pay all costs and expenses that it incurs with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery, and
performance of the Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.

Agreement”) shall have the same meanings as those set forth in the Employment Agreement.
  
 1. Consideration. Executive
acknowledges and agrees that the payments and benefits paid or granted to Executive under the Employment Agreement (the “Consideration Amounts”), represent good, valuable, and sufficient consideration for signing this Separation
Agreement, and exceed any amounts or interests to which Executive otherwise would be entitled. Executive acknowledges and agrees that except as specifically provided in this Separation Agreement, the Company shall have no other obligations or
liabilities, monetary or otherwise, to Executive following the date hereof (the “Effective Date”) and that the payments and benefits contemplated herein constitute a complete settlement, satisfaction, and waiver of any and all
claims Executive may have against the Company.
  
 2. Release of Claims.

Company, the “Company Entities”), and each and all of the Company Entities’ current and former officers, directors, employees, shareholders, representatives, attorneys, agents, and assigns (collectively, with the Company
Entities, the “Company Releasees”), from any and all causes of action, claims, actions, rights, judgments, obligations, damages, demands, accountings, or liabilities of any kind or character, whether known or unknown, whether
accrued or contingent, that Executive has, had, or may have against them, or any of them, by reason of, arising out of, connected with, touching upon, or concerning Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive’s separation from the
Company, and Executive’s relationship with any or all of the Company Releasees, and from any and all statutory claims, regulatory claims, claims under the Employment Agreement, and any and all other claims or matters of whatever kind, nature,

(d) Executive represents and warrants that Executive has not assigned, transferred, or permitted the subrogation of any of Executive’s rights, claims, and/or causes of action,
