 (a) So long as Voteco holds any Class A Voting Interests or Class A Voting
Equivalents, Voteco shall not Transfer ownership of any or all Class A Voting Interests of Class A Voting Equivalents owned by it except as contemplated by Section 3 hereof. The Transfer of record or beneficial ownership of any Class A
Voting Interests or Class A Voting Equivalents, by operation of law or otherwise, by or upon the direction or authorization of Voteco shall be deemed invalid, null and void, and of no force or effect, unless such Transfer is made pursuant to
the provisions of Section 3 hereof and Section 8.1 of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company. 

(b) No Voteco Member shall Transfer record or beneficial ownership of any or all of the Voteco Interests owned by such Voteco Member,
unless such Transfer is made pursuant to Article 7 of the Voteco Operating Agreement or is otherwise approved in writing by Holdings. The Transfer of record or beneficial ownership of any Voteco Interests, by operation of law or otherwise, by or
upon the direction or authorization of any Voteco Member shall be deemed invalid, null and void, and of no force or effect, and the transferee of any such Voteco Interests shall not be entitled to vote such Voteco Interests or receive distributions
on such Voteco Interests or have any other rights in or respecting such Voteco Interests, unless such Transfer is approved in writing by Holdings. 

Section 3. Call Option. 

(a) Right to Call Class A Voting Interests and Class A Voting Equivalents. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, on
each occasion that Holdings proposes to Transfer (including, without limitation, by operation of law or pursuant to any merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization) any of the Class B Non-Voting Interests or Class B Non-Voting
Equivalents held by it to an Approved Purchaser (any such transaction, an “Approved Sale”), then Holdings shall have an option, which, upon approval by the Gaming Authorities Holdings shall assign to such Approved Purchaser (such
Approved Purchaser or Holdings, as applicable, hereinafter referred to as the “Optionholder”), to purchase from Voteco upon such Approved Sale the Required Number of Class A Voting Interests, in the case of an Approved Sale of
Class B Non-Voting Interests, or Corresponding Class A Voting Equivalents, in the case of an Approved Sale of Class B Non-Voting Equivalents, at a cash price per unit equal to the sum of (a) the amount in cash or fair market value of any
other consideration originally paid by Voteco for such Required Number of Class A Voting Interests or Corresponding Class A Voting Equivalents, as applicable, plus (b) the amount equivalent to a six percent (6%) annual rate of
interest on such amount or fair market value, compounded annually, calculated from the date Voteco acquired such Class A Voting Interests or Corresponding Class A Voting Equivalents, as applicable, on the basis of a 360-day year comprised
of twelve 30-day months, to and excluding the Approved Sale Date.

 (b) Call Notice. Prior to consummating any Approved Sale, if the Optionholder elects
to exercise the options granted to it under this Section 3, the Optionholder shall provide each of the Class A Holders with a written notice (the “Call Notice”) not less than five (5) days prior to the proposed date
of the Approved Sale (the “Approved Sale Date”). The Call Notice shall state that the Optionholder is exercising its option to purchase Class A Voting Interests or Class A Voting Equivalents pursuant to this Section 3
and shall set forth: (i) the name and address of the Optionholder, (ii) the aggregate number of Class B Non-Voting Interests and Class B Non-Voting Equivalents held of record by such Optionholder as of the date of the Call Notice,
(iii) the number of Class B Non-Voting Interests or Class B Non-Voting Equivalents to be sold by such Optionholder to the Approved Purchaser pursuant to such Approved Sale, (iv) the Required Number of Class A Voting Interests or
Class A Voting Equivalents to be purchased by the Optionholder from Voteco in connection with such Approved Sale, (v) the Approved Sale Date, (vi) the address for delivery of the certificates representing the Class A Voting
Interests or Class A Voting Equivalents to be purchased by the Optionholder and (vii) that the Optionholder has received all approvals required under the Gaming Laws. 

(c) Delivery of Certificates. On the Approved Sale Date, Voteco shall deliver to the Optionholder the certificates for the
Class A Voting Interests or Class A Voting Equivalents being sold by it to the Optionholder, duly endorsed for transfer with signatures guaranteed, in the manner and at the address indicated in the Call Notice against delivery of
immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price for such Class A Voting Interests or Class A Voting Equivalents. 

(d) Regulatory Approvals. No option shall be assigned and no Class A Voting Interests shall be delivered or Transferred
without the receipt of all approvals required under Gaming Laws. 
 Section 4. Legends. Voteco shall use its
reasonable efforts to cause each certificate of the Company representing Class A Voting Interests or Class A Voting Equivalents owned of record and beneficially by Voteco to contain the following legends: 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) OR STATE
SECURITIES LAWS, AND NO TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY BE MADE EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM WITH RESPECT TO WHICH THE COMPANY MAY, UPON REQUEST,
REQUIRE A SATISFACTORY OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT. 
 THE
OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN TRANSFER RESTRICTION AGREEMENT 

 

 5 

 
DATED AS OF [            ], 2010. THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTION AGREEMENT WITHOUT CHARGE TO ANY MEMBER
ON REQUEST. 
 THE SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, GRANTING OF ANY OPTION TO PURCHASE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF AN INTEREST IN
THIS LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY IS INEFFECTIVE UNLESS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY THE NEVADA GAMING COMMISSION (THE “COMMISSION”). IF AT ANY TIME THE COMMISSION FINDS THAT A MEMBER IS UNSUITABLE TO HOLD AN INTEREST IN THIS COMPANY, SUCH
OWNER MUST DISPOSE OF SUCH INTEREST AS PROVIDED BY THE GAMING LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA AND THE REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER, OR, IF THE COMMISSION CONSENTS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OR OPERATING AGREEMENT. BEGINNING ON
THE DATE WHEN THE COMMISSION SERVES NOTICE OR A DETERMINATION OF UNSUITABILITY PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR THE UNSUITABLE MEMBER (A) TO RECEIVE ANY DIVIDEND OR INTEREST OR ANY PAYMENT OR DISTRIBUTION OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING OF
ANY SHARE OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS OR CASH OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY, OR PAYMENTS UPON DISSOLUTION, FROM THE COMPANY, OTHER THAN A RETURN OF CAPITAL; (B) TO EXERCISE DIRECTLY OR THROUGH ANY PROXY, TRUSTEE OR NOMINEE ANY VOTING RIGHT CONFERRED
BY THE MEMBER’S INTEREST IN THE COMPANY; OR (C) TO RECEIVE ANY REMUNERATION IN ANY FORM FROM THE COMPANY OR FROM ANY COMPANY HOLDING A GAMING LICENSE FOR SERVICES RENDERED OR OTHERWISE. 

Upon acquiring Class A Voting Interests, Voteco shall use its reasonable efforts to cause each certificate of the Company
representing Class A Voting Interests or Class A Voting Equivalents to bear such other legends, including, without limitation, any legends Voteco deems appropriate to assure that the Company complies with applicable Gaming Laws.

 Section 5. Recapitalization, etc.; After-Acquired Interests. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement (including any calculation of ownership interests) shall apply to any and all equity interests of the
Company or any capital stock, partnership interests or any other security evidencing ownership interests in any successor of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) that may be issued in

  

 6 

 
respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of the Class A Voting Interests by reason of any stock dividend, split, reverse split, combination, recapitalization, liquidation,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise. 
 (b) Whenever Voteco becomes the record or beneficial owner of any
additional Class A Voting Interests, such Class A Voting Interests shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and included in the definition of “Class A Voting Interests” hereunder. Whenever Voteco becomes the record
or beneficial owner of any additional Class A Voting Equivalents, such Class A Voting Equivalents shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and included in the definition of “Class A Voting Equivalents” hereunder.
The certificates therefor shall be surrendered for legending in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, unless already so legended. 

Section 6. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) Voteco owning no Class A Voting Interests and
no Class A Voting Equivalents (after having first acquired such interests in accordance with the terms of the Company Operating Agreement) or (b) Holdings owning no Class B Non-Voting Interests and no Class B Non-Voting Equivalents.

 Section 7. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be
given in writing by hand-delivery or United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed to have been transmitted on the date such notice is so delivered, transmitted or mailed, if addressed as set forth below
or to such other addresses as any of the parties hereto by written notice to the other parties hereto, may from time to time designate.

Section 8. Additional Actions and Documents. Each party hereto shall take or cause to be taken such further actions and to
execute and deliver such documents or instruments as may from time to time be reasonably necessary in order to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. 

Section 9. Specific Performance. The parties hereto recognize that the provisions herein contained are of
particular importance for the protection and promotion of their existing and future interests; that the Class A Voting Interests of the Company and the Voteco Interests will be closely held; and that the relationships of the parties to one
another are and will be such that, in the event of any breach of this Agreement, a claim for monetary damages may not constitute an adequate remedy; and that it may, therefore, be necessary for the protection of all of the parties hereto and for the
effectuation of the provisions of this Agreement, in the event of a breach of this Agreement, to apply for specific performance thereof. It is, accordingly, hereby agreed that no objection to the form of the action or to the form of relief prayed
for in any proceeding for specific performance of this Agreement, shall be raised by any party hereto, in order that such relief may be obtained by the party aggrieved. 

Section 10. Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the
singular, to the singular include the plural, to the male gender include the female and neuter genders and vice versa, and to the part include the whole. The term “including” is not limiting. The words “hereof,”
“herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and similar terms in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Section and clause references are to this Agreement unless
otherwise specified. 
 Section 11. Miscellaneous. 

(a) No Waiver. No waiver or modification of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by
all the parties hereto. 
 (b) Severability. In case any of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provision or provisions are not contained herein. 
 (c) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto, their respective heirs, guardians, personal representatives, successors, successors in interest, and assigns.

 (d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of Delaware. 
 (e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
(including by facsimile) each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one document. 
 (f)
Subject to Gaming Laws. This Agreement, and the provisions herein, are subject to all applicable Gaming Laws and the receipt of all prior and other approvals required thereunder.
