	(iii)
	the proposed HLV Lease Amendment, in the condition required by this Agreement;

		
	(iv)
	delivery of the Financial Statements referenced in the definition of Combined Rent Coverage Ratio; and

		
	(v)
	a reasonably detailed explanation of the computation of the proposed Put Right Purchase Price and the Put Right HLV Lease Amendment Rent; and

		
	(vi)
	due diligence materials of a type that would customarily be provided to a purchaser of properties such as the Convention Center Property and produced by reputable third-party companies reasonably acceptable to VICI, including in any event a recent title report, survey, environmental reports, current tax status and any assessments owed, and information regarding any known litigation or judgment (collectively, “Diligence Materials”).

Promptly upon VICI’s reasonable request therefor, Owner shall provide to VICI additional information reasonably related to the Put Right Property Package, to the extent such information is reasonably available to Owner.  Further, following delivery of the Put Right Election Notice, VICI and its consultants and representatives shall have access to the Eastside Convention Center Property pursuant to, and VICI, and its consultants and representatives, shall comply with, the Access Provisions.

(c)    Put Right Deadline.  If Owner does not deliver a Put Right Election Notice to VICI in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(b) prior to the expiration of the Owner Election Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, the Put Right shall automatically terminate and be deemed null and void.

(d)    Dispute Regarding Put Right Property Package; Material Adverse Effect.  If a Put Right Election Notice and Put Right Property Package are timely delivered by Owner to VICI but VICI either (1) disagrees with Owner’s computation of the Put Right HLV Lease Amendment Rent and/or the Put Right Purchase Price, (2) has comments or revisions to the draft HLV Lease Amendment or Sale Agreement that are required to cause same to comply with the provisions of this Agreement, (3) believes that a condition exists (evidenced through the Diligence Materials or otherwise) that has a Material Adverse Effect, or (4) believes that any or all of the Put Exercise Conditions have not been satisfied, then VICI shall notify Owner thereof within twenty (20) days of VICI’s receipt of the Put Right Property Package (or, if later, such evidence of an alleged Material Adverse Effect or, Tenant Event of Default or Tenant Default).  In such event, Owner and VICI shall negotiate in good faith up to a period of thirty (30) days in an effort to reconcile the applicable issue(s).  If Owner and VICI are unable to resolve the subject dispute, then Owner may withdraw the Put Right Election Notice (in which case the Put Right may not be exercised again for a period of six (6) months (but in no event after the end of the Owner Election Period)), and if 

8

Owner does not withdraw the Put Right Election Notice, the Parties agree that such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof.

(e)    Finalization of Put Right Documents.  If a Put Right Election Notice and Put Right Property Package are timely delivered, and (if applicable) any disputes under Section 3(d) above have been resolved, Owner and VICI shall as soon as reasonably practicable (but in all events within ten (10) days thereafter) enter into the Sale Agreement (with a HLV Lease Amendment attached thereto as an exhibit, which HLV Lease Amendment shall be executed upon the consummation of the closing under the Sale Agreement).

(f)    Gaming Approvals.  If a Gaming Approval Failure occurs, the Put Right shall automatically terminate and be deemed null and void.  Each Party shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts in order to timely obtain the Requisite Gaming Approvals that it must obtain for the Put Right transaction, and the other Party shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts in order to assist such Party in its efforts to timely obtain such Requisite Gaming Approvals.  If there is a dispute among the Parties as to whether good faith, commercially reasonable efforts were used throughout the Regulatory Period, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof, and such matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof within twenty (20) days after the expiration of the Regulatory Period.  Each Party, at no material unreimbursed expense to such Party, agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other Party and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Regulatory Approval Supporting Information that is reasonably requested by the other Party, in such Party’s efforts to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals (including, if necessary Requisite Gaming Approvals).

(g)    Closing.  The closing of the Put Right transaction shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement.  In the event that a Put Right transaction fails to close for any reason other than Owner’s breach or default under this Agreement or under the Sale Agreement or because of a failure of one or more representations or warranties by Seller under the Sale Agreement to be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (a “Rep Condition Failure”), or due to a Gaming Approval Failure and the Sale Agreement is terminated (any such failure to close for a reason other than such breach or default by Owner, a Rep Condition Failure or Gaming Approval Failure, a “Put Right Closing Failure”), Owner shall have the right to exercise the HLV Repurchase Right in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4 hereof.  Either VICI or Owner shall have the right, to be exercised within twenty (20) days after the date the alleged Put Right Closing Failure occurs, to submit any dispute related to the failure to close to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof in order to obtain a determination of the reason for such failure to close.  If the Sale Agreement has been executed between the Parties, from and after such execution the terms and conditions of such Sale Agreement shall govern all disputes between the Parties other than the reason for such failure to close rather than the arbitration procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof.

(h)    Failure to Execute Sale Agreement Due To VICI’s Breach.  Prior to entering into this transaction, Owner and VICI have discussed the fact that substantial damages will be suffered by Owner if VICI shall breach or default in its obligations under this Section 3 to execute a Sale Agreement if and when required under this Section 3 (a “VICI LD Default”); accordingly, the Parties agree that a reasonable estimate of Owner’s damages in such event is the amount of $9,000,000 (the “Owner Liquidated Damages Amount”).  In the event of a VICI LD Default, then, as Owner’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise (but for the avoidance of doubt, without limiting Owner’s rights to exercise the HLV Repurchase Right in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4 hereof) VICI shall pay the Owner Liquidated Damages Amount to Owner as liquidated damages.  VICI’s obligation to pay the Owner Liquidated Damages Amount if and when payable hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  In the event of an alleged VICI LD Default, Owner shall provide notice to VICI of same, setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such VICI LD Default (a “VICI LD Default Notice”).  VICI shall have the right, to be exercised within twenty (20) days after the date Owner gives a VICI LD Default Notice, to submit any dispute related to such alleged VICI LD Default to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof in order to obtain a determination as to whether a VICI LD Default occurred.  In the event the Arbitration Panel’s determination is that a VICI LD Default occurred, VICI shall have a period of twenty (20) days from the date of such determination to cure such default, failure of which shall result in VICI being required to pay the Owner Liquidated Damages Amount.

(i)    Termination of Agreement.  Upon closing of the Put Right transaction this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect.  

4.    HLV Repurchase Right in Favor of Owner.
(a)     HLV Repurchase Right.  If and only if Owner duly exercises the Put Right in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3, but a Put Right transaction fails to close by the outside date by which the closing could 

9

occur under the Sale Agreement (as described as the “Closing Date” in Exhibit D)  due to a Put Right Closing Failure, then during the HLV Repurchase Election Period, Owner shall have the right to exercise the HLV Repurchase Right subject to and in accordance with the further terms and provisions of this Section 4.  Under no circumstances shall Owner have the right to exercise the HLV Repurchase Right in the event Owner withdraws its Put Right pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 3(d) (unless Owner subsequently duly exercises its Put Right again within the Owner Election Period and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 3, and thereafter a Put Right transaction again fails to close by the outside date by which the closing could occur under the Sale Agreement due to a Put Right Closing Failure and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement).

(b)    Requirements of HLV Repurchase Right Property Package Request.  As a condition to exercising the HLV Repurchase Right, Owner shall deliver to VICI during the HLV Repurchase Right Election Period a notice of Owner’s intention to exercise the HLV Repurchase Right, and a request for the HLV Repurchase Right Property Package from VICI (collectively, the “HLV Repurchase Right Property Package Request”).  As promptly as practicable after receipt of the HLV Repurchase Right Property Package Request, but in no event later than the date occurring thirty (30) days after VICI’s receipt of the HLV Repurchase Right Property Package Request, VICI shall provide to Owner a package of information (the “HLV Repurchase Right Property Package”), which shall include the following: 
		
	(i)
	the proposed HLV Repurchase Sale Agreement, in the condition required by this Agreement, which shall include the HLV Repurchase Right Purchase Price and Closing Date;

		
	(ii)
	the computation of the proposed HLV Repurchase Right Purchase Price; and

		
	(iii)
	Diligence Materials (if and to the extent VICI has such materials in its possession and Lessee does not already have same at the time the HLV Repurchase Right Property Package Request was received).

Promptly upon Owner’s reasonable request therefor, VICI shall provide to Owner additional information reasonably related to the HLV Repurchase Right, to the extent such information is in its possession and Lessee does not already have same.  

(c)    Call Right Deadline.  If Owner does not deliver a HLV Repurchase Right Property Package Request to VICI in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4(a) and 4(b) prior to the expiration of the HLV Repurchase Election Period, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, the HLV Repurchase Right shall automatically terminate and be deemed null and void.

(d)    Dispute Regarding HLV Repurchase Right Property Package.  If Owner, after reviewing the HLV Repurchase Right Property Package, either (1) disagrees with VICI’s computation of the HLV Repurchase Right Purchase Price, or (2) has comments or revisions to the draft HLV Repurchase Sale Agreement that are required to cause same to comply with the provisions of this Agreement, Owner shall notify VICI thereof within twenty (20) days of Owner’s receipt of the HLV Repurchase Right Property Package.  In such event, Owner and VICI shall negotiate in good faith up to a period of thirty (30) days in an effort to reconcile the applicable issue(s).  If Owner and VICI are unable to resolve the subject dispute, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof.

(e)    Finalization of HLV Repurchase Right Documents.  If the HLV Repurchase Right Property Package is timely delivered, and (if applicable) any disputes under Section 4(d) above have been resolved, Owner and VICI shall as soon as reasonably practicable (but in all events within ten (10) days thereafter) enter into the HLV Repurchase Sale Agreement.

(f)    Gaming Approvals.  If a Gaming Approval Failure occurs, the HLV Repurchase Right shall automatically terminate and be deemed null and void.  Each party shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts in order to timely obtain the Requisite Gaming Approvals that it must obtain for the HLV Repurchase Right Transaction, and the other party shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts in order to assist such party in its efforts to timely obtain such Requisite Gaming Approvals.  If there is a dispute among the Parties as to whether good faith, commercially reasonable efforts were used throughout the Regulatory Period, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof, and such matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof within twenty (20) days after the expiration of the Regulatory Period.  Each Party, at no material unreimbursed expense to such Party, agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other Party and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Regulatory Approval Supporting Information that is reasonably requested by the other Party, in such Party’s efforts to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals (including, if necessary Requisite Gaming Approvals).

10

(g)    Closing.  The closing of the HLV Repurchase Right transaction shall occur in accordance with the terms of the HLV Repurchase Sale Agreement.  In the event that a HLV Repurchase Right transaction fails to close as aforesaid, either VICI or Owner shall have the right, to be exercised within twenty (20) days after the date the alleged failure occurs, to submit any dispute related to such failure  to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof; provided, however, that if the HLV Repurchase Sale Agreement has been executed between the Parties, from and after such execution the terms and conditions of such HLV Repurchase Sale Agreement shall govern all disputes between the Parties.

5.    Call Right in Favor of VICI. 
(a)    Call Right.  Provided that clauses (1), (2) and (3) (excluding clauses (x) and (y) thereof) of the Put/Call Convention Center Conditions have been satisfied, the Call Right Rent Coverage Condition has been satisfied, the HLV Lease shall be in full force and effect, Landlord (as defined in the HLV Lease) shall not be in material uncured default under the HLV Lease, and VICI is not in material default hereunder  (and, for the avoidance of doubt, it shall not be deemed a material default if a VICI LD Default occurred and thereafter VICI paid the Owner Liquidated Damages Amount), then, at any time during the VICI Election Period, VICI shall have the right to exercise the Call Right in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.  

(b)    Requirements of Call Right Election Notice and Call Right Property Package Request.  As a condition to exercising the Call Right, VICI shall deliver to Owner a notice of VICI’s intention to exercise the Call Right, and a request for the Call Right Property Package from Owner (collectively, the “Call Right Property Package Request”).  As promptly as practicable after receipt of the Call Right Property Package Request, but in no event later than the date occurring thirty (30) days after Owner’s receipt of the Call Right Property Package Request, Owner shall provide to VICI a package of information (the “Call Right Property Package”), which shall set forth all material information with respect to the Eastside Convention Center Property and the Call Right including, without limitation, the following: 
		
	(i)
	reasonable evidence that the Put/Call Convention Center Conditions have been satisfied;

		
	(ii)

(d)    Failure of Put/Call Convention Center Conditions or Call Right Rent Coverage Condition.  If upon VICI’s delivering of the Call Right Property Package Request to Owner, the Put/Call Convention Center Conditions have not been satisfied or the Call Right Rent Coverage Condition is not satisfied (in either case, a “Call Right Condition Failure”), then this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of the VICI Election Period unless following 

11

a Call Right Condition Failure, VICI again exercises its Call Right within the VICI Election Period and at the time of delivering of the Call Right Property Package Request to Owner, clause (1), (2) and (3) (excluding clauses (x) and (y) thereof) of the Put/Call Convention Center Conditions and the Call Right Rent Coverage Condition are then satisfied.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that: (x) the Call Right Property Package discloses that any of the Put/Call Convention Center Conditions is not satisfied and/or the Call Right Rent Coverage Condition is not satisfied, (y) a Tenant Event of Default or Tenant Default exists, and/or (z) a condition exists or an event occurred (evidenced through the Diligence Materials or otherwise) that has a Material Adverse Effect, then, with respect to clauses (x) or (y), Owner may terminate this Agreement to be effective at the conclusion of the VICI Election Period, subject to the provisions of Section 5(d), and if Owner does not so terminate this Agreement, and with respect to clause (z), VICI shall have the right to retract its exercise of the Call Right by providing notice to Owner thereof within twenty (20) days of VICI’s receipt of the Call Right Property Package (or, if later, in the case of any item described in either clauses (y) or (z) above, twenty (20) days following the occurrence of such event).

(f)    Finalization of Call Right Documents.  If the Call Right Property Package is timely delivered, and (if applicable) any disputes under Section 5(e) above have been resolved, if VICI still wishes to exercise the Call Right, Owner and VICI shall as soon as reasonably practicable (but in all events within ten (10) days thereafter) enter into the Sale Agreement (with a HLV Lease Amendment attached thereto as an exhibit, which HLV Lease Amendment shall be executed upon the consummation of the closing under the Sale Agreement).

(g)    Gaming Approvals.  If a Gaming Approval Failure occurs, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate.  Each Party shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts in order to timely obtain the Requisite Gaming Approvals that it must obtain for the Call Right Transaction, and the other Party shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts in order to assist such Party in its efforts to timely obtain such Requisite Gaming Approvals.

In the event of an Owner LD Default, then, as VICI’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, at law, in equity or otherwise, Owner shall pay the VICI Liquidated Damages Amount to VICI as liquidated damages, and thereafter, the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for other obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.  Owner’s obligation to pay the VICI Liquidated Damages Amount if and when payable hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Borrower has appointed (a) each of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CS Securities”) and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI”) as joint lead arrangers (collectively, the “Lead Arrangers”) and (b) each of CS Securities, DBSI, Barclays Bank PLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs Bank USA, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as joint bookrunners (collectively, the “Bookrunners” and, together with the Lead Arrangers, the “2017 Incremental Arrangers”), in each case for the Chester Notes Refinancing;
WHEREAS, the institution listed on Schedule I hereto (the “2017 Incremental Term Lender”) has agreed, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement, to provide the Chester Notes Refinancing by making a Term Loan to the Borrower in the amount set forth opposite its name under the heading “2017 Incremental Term Loan Commitment” on Schedule I hereto (the “2017 Incremental Term Loan Commitment”); 
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto therefore agree as follows:
SECTION 1.Defined Terms; References.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement.  The rules of construction specified in Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement also apply to this Agreement.  
SECTION 2.Chester Notes Refinancing.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the 2017 Incremental Term Lender agrees to make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower on the 2017 Incremental Effective Date, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its 2017 Incremental Term Loan Commitment (such term loans, collectively, the “2017 Incremental Term Loans”).  Unless previously terminated, the 2017 Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 2017 Incremental Effective Date.
(b)With effect from the 2017 Incremental Effective Date, the 2017 Incremental Term Loans incurred under Section 2(a) of this Agreement shall constitute a single Class of Term Loan and shall be a “Term B Loan” for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the 2017 Incremental Term Lender shall be a Lender with an outstanding Term B Loan.
(c)The 2017 Incremental Term Loans shall constitute an increase to, and have the same terms as, the Term B Loans prior to giving effect to this Agreement, including with respect to the Term B Facility Maturity Date.

(c)immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereunder on the 2017 Incremental Effective Date, (i) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the 2017 Incremental Effective Date; and
