	Re:	  	Consent and Letter Agreement Regarding 2010 Convertible Notes Issuance and Amendments to Loan Agreement

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 We refer to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and
Security Agreement dated July 29, 2008, by and among MasTec, Inc., a Florida corporation (“MasTec”), certain of the Subsidiaries of MasTec which are identified on the signature pages hereto (together with MasTec, collectively,
“Borrowers”), the financial institutions party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”), as amended by that certain
letter amendment dated December 16, 2008, as amended by that certain letter amendment dated June 1, 2009, and as amended by that certain letter amendment dated November 3, 2009 (as so amended and at any other time amended, restated,
modified or supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms used in this consent and letter amendment, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement. 

As described in the Loan Agreement, Borrowers are currently parties to (a) the New Convertible Notes Indenture, pursuant to which
the New Convertible Notes were issued, and (b) the Precision Convertible Notes Indenture, pursuant to which the Precision Convertible Notes were issued. The New Convertible Notes and the Precision Convertible Notes are collectively referred to
herein as the “Existing Convertible Notes”, and the New Convertible Notes Indenture and the Precision Convertible Notes Indenture are collectively referred to herein as the “Existing Convertible Notes Indentures”.

 Borrowers have advised the Agent and the Lenders that MasTec intends to replace some or all of the Existing Convertible Notes
by means of (a) a proposed issuance of new convertible notes (collectively, the “4.00% 2010 Convertible Notes”) in the original principal amount of up to $115,000,000, pursuant to a supplemental indenture (the “4.00%
2010 Convertible Notes Indenture”) among MasTec, as issuer of the 4.00% 2010 Convertible Notes, certain of MasTec’s Subsidiaries, as guarantors of the 4.00% 2010 Convertible Notes, and the trustee named therein, and (b) a proposed
issuance of new convertible notes (collectively, the “4.25% 2010 Convertible Notes”) in the original principal amount of up to $100,000,000, pursuant to a supplemental indenture (the “4.25% 2010 Convertible Notes
Indenture”) among MasTec, as issuer of the 4.25% 2010 Convertible Notes, certain of MasTec’s Subsidiaries, as guarantors of the 4.25% 2010 Convertible Notes, and the trustee named therein (such refinancing transaction, including the
issuance of the 2010 Convertible Notes, is referred to herein as the “Proposed 2010 Convertible Notes Issuance”). The 4.00% 2010 Convertible Notes and the 4.25% 2010 Convertible Notes are collectively referred to herein as the
“2010 Convertible Notes”, and the 4.00% 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture and the 4.25% 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture are collectively referred to herein as the “2010 Convertible Notes Indenture”. 

 Borrowers have provided to the Agent and the Lenders a summary of the terms of the Proposed
2010 Convertible Notes Issuance, such terms being more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto. 
 Pursuant
to Section 10.2.3 of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers may not create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any Debt, except for, among other exceptions, Refinancing Debt so long as each of the Refinancing Conditions is met. Borrowers
acknowledge that, due to the possibility of an earlier conversion which pursuant to its terms could be satisfied by paying cash, the Debt under the 2010 Convertible Notes may have a final maturity date that is earlier than the final maturity date of
the Debt under the Existing Convertible Notes. As a result, the Debt under the 2010 Convertible Notes does not satisfy clause (ii) of the definition of “Refinancing Conditions” and therefore is not permitted as Refinancing Debt
pursuant to Section 10.2.3 of the Loan Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding the fact that the Debt under the Proposed 2010
Convertible Notes Issuance does not constitute Refinancing Debt permitted under the Loan Agreement, Borrowers have requested that the Agent and the Lenders consent to the Proposed 2010 Convertible Notes Issuance and the incurrence of Debt by
Borrowers under the 2010 Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture. 
 The Agent and the
Lenders are willing to consent to the Proposed 2010 Convertible Notes Issuance, and the incurrence of Debt by Borrowers and guaranty by certain subsidiaries of MasTec under the 2010 Convertible Notes pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Convertible
Notes Indenture, and to amend the Loan Agreement in connection therewith, in each case, on the terms and conditions set forth in this consent and letter amendment. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) in hand paid and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby severally acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
 1. Consent to the Proposed 2010 Convertible Notes
Issuance. At the request of Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Proposed 2010 Convertible Notes Issuance by MasTec and the incurrence of Debt by Borrowers under the 2010 Convertible Notes, and the guaranty by
MasTec’s other Subsidiaries thereof, so long as each of the following conditions has been satisfied, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, on or before January 31, 2011: 

(a) No Default or Event of Default exists at the time of, or will exist immediately after giving effect to, the Proposed
2010 Convertible Notes Issuance; 
 (b) Each Borrower delivers to the Agent a duly executed counterpart of this
consent and letter amendment; 
 (c) MasTec certifies to the Agent in writing that, upon consummation of the
Proposed 2010 Convertible Notes Issuance, and the exchange of certain Existing Convertible Notes thereunder, (i) no breach or default exists under the Existing Convertible Notes or the Existing Convertible Notes Indentures, nor will exist
thereunder after giving effect to the Proposed 2010 Convertible Notes Issuance, and (ii) all such Existing Convertible Notes shall be cancelled and of no further force and effect; 

(d) The Agent receives a true, correct and complete copy of the executed 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture; 

  
 - 2 -

 (e) MasTec certifies to the Agent in writing that the Proposed 2010
Convertible Notes Issuance, and the issuance of the 2010 Convertible Notes in connection therewith, is permitted under and do not violate the provisions of the Indenture or cause to exist a default thereunder; 

(f) The Agent receives evidence that: 

(i) any 2010 Convertible Notes issued in exchange for Existing Convertible Notes have been issued in accordance with the
terms of the 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture, 
 (ii) the final terms of the Proposed 2010 Convertible Notes
Issuance contained in the 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture and 2010 Convertible Notes: 
 (A) with respect to
the restrictions on and priorities of “Indebtedness” and “Liens”, permit the Loan Agreement, the Obligations thereunder, and the Liens securing the same; and 

(B) do not restrict the principal amount of indebtedness of the “Credit Facility” (or the equivalent term
defined in the 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture) to an amount less than $260,000,000; and 
 (iii) the 2010
Convertible Notes shall at all times remain unsecured; and 
 (g) Each Borrower delivers to the Agent such other
agreements as the Agent may reasonably request in connection herewith. 
 2. Amendments to Loan Agreement. In
connection with the Proposed 2010 Convertible Notes Issuance, the parties hereto hereby agree to amend the Loan Agreement as follows, provided, that all amendments to the Loan Agreement set forth in this Section 2 shall
only be effective upon the satisfaction of the conditions (a) through (g) set forth in Section 1 above: 

(a) By deleting clause (b) of the definition of “Change of Control” contained in Section 1.1 of the
Loan Agreement, and by substituting in lieu thereof the following: 
 (b) any “Change of Control,” “Change in
Control” or similar event or circumstance, however defined or designated, under the Indenture (as in effect on the date of this Agreement), or any “Change of Control”, “Change in Control”, “Fundamental Change” or
similar event or circumstance, however defined or designated, under (i) the New Convertible Notes or New Convertible Notes Indenture, (ii) the Precision Convertible Notes or the Precision Convertible Notes Indenture, or (iii) the 2010
Convertible Notes or the 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture (as in effect on the effective date thereof) shall occur. 

  
 - 3 -

 (b) By deleting the definitions of “New Convertible Notes Indenture”,
“New Convertible Notes”, “Precision Convertible Notes”, and “Precision Convertible Notes Indenture” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement, and by substituting in lieu thereof
the following: 
 New Convertible Notes - to the extent not tendered or replaced in connection with the
issuance of the 2010 Convertible Notes, MasTec’s Senior Convertible Notes having a maturity of not sooner than five (5) years from the issuance date thereof in the original principal amount of $100,000,000, issued pursuant to the New
Convertible Notes Indenture, on or before June 30, 2009, on an unsecured basis and otherwise on terms satisfactory to Agent and Lenders; provided, that, the original principal amount set forth above may be increased by an amount
of up to $25,000,000 reflecting an oversubscription of the New Convertible Notes issued under the New Convertible Notes Indenture. 
 New Convertible Notes Indenture - to the extent all of the New Convertible Notes are not tendered or replaced in connection with the issuance of the 2010 Convertible Notes, the supplemental
indenture among MasTec, its Subsidiaries and the trustee named thereunder, as Trustee, governing the New Convertible Notes. 
 Precision Convertible Notes - to the extent not tendered or replaced in connection with the issuance of the 2010 Convertible Notes, MasTec’s Senior Convertible Notes having a maturity of not
sooner than five (5) years from the issuance date thereof in the original principal amount of up to $100,000,000, but not less than $75,000,000, issued pursuant to the Precision Convertible Notes Indenture, on or before November 30, 2009,
on an unsecured basis and otherwise on terms satisfactory to Agent and Lenders. 
 Precision Convertible Notes
Indenture - to the extent all of the Precision Convertible Notes are not tendered or replaced in connection with the issuance of the 2010 Convertible Notes, the supplemental indenture to the New Convertible Notes Indenture among MasTec, its
Subsidiaries and U.S. Bank, National Association, as Trustee, governing the Precision Convertible Notes. 
 (c) By deleting the
definitions of “Fixed Charges” and “Refinancing Conditions” contained in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement, and by substituting in lieu thereof the following new definitions: 

Fixed Charges - for any fiscal period, the sum of (i) interest expense (other than interest payable-in-kind to
the extent not paid in cash and interest expense arising from this Agreement or the other Loan Documents that is deferred into future periods in accordance with GAAP) for such period plus (ii) current maturities of Funded Debt (including
Capitalized Lease Obligations) as of the last day of such 

  
 - 4 -

 
period plus (iii) all amounts paid by any Obligor in cash with respect to the 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture and the 2010 Convertible Notes (whether made as a prepayment or
conversion) for such fiscal period. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any portion of the 2010 Convertible Notes is classified for accounting purposes as short-term or current Debt due to the triggering of conversion conditions under the
2010 Convertible Notes, such portion of the 2010 Convertible Notes shall not be included in the calculation of Fixed Charges, unless actually paid in cash. 
 Refinancing Conditions - the following conditions, each of which must be satisfied before Refinancing Debt shall be permitted under Section 10.2.3 of this Agreement: (i) the
Refinancing Debt is in an aggregate principal amount that does not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Debt being extended, renewed or refinanced (or in the case of each of (A) the Indenture and the Senior Notes, (B) the New
Convertible Notes Indenture and the New Convertible Notes, (C) the Precision Convertible Notes Indenture and the Precision Convertible Notes, and (D) the 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture and the 2010 Convertible Notes, the original
principal amount of the Senior Notes, the New Convertible Notes, the Precision Convertible Notes, or the 2010 Convertible Notes, as applicable), (ii) the Refinancing Debt has a later or equal final maturity and a longer or equal weighted
average life than the Debt being extended, renewed or refinanced, (iii) the Refinancing Debt does not bear a rate of interest that exceeds a market rate (as determined in good faith by a Senior Officer) as of the date of such extension, renewal
or refinancing, (iv) if the Debt being extended, renewed or refinanced is subordinate to the Obligations, the Refinancing Debt is subordinated to the same extent, (v) the covenants contained in any instrument or agreement relating to the
Refinancing Debt are no less favorable to Obligors than those relating to the Debt being extended, renewed or refinanced, and (vi) at the time of and after giving effect to such extension, renewal or refinancing, no Default or Event of
Default shall exist. 
 (d) By adding the following new definitions of “4.00% 2010 Convertible Notes”,
“4.00% 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture”, “4.25% 2010 Convertible Notes”, “4.25% 2010 Convertible Notes Indenture”, “2010 Convertible Notes”, and “2010 Convertible Notes

Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the parties hereto each hereby waives the right to trial by jury in any action, suit, counterclaim or proceeding arising out of or related to this consent and letter amendment.

Effective Time (as defined below), and made and granted by the parties listed on Schedule A hereto (each, a “Stockholder” and, collectively, the “Stockholders”). 

WHEREAS, Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (to be renamed Caesars Entertainment
Corporation) (the “Company”), intends to effect a reclassification of its capital stock by (i) converting its existing non-voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Existing Non-Voting Stock”), into
a new class of voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “New Voting Stock”), and (ii) cancelling its existing voting common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Existing Voting Stock”)
(collectively, the “Reclassification”); 
 WHEREAS, Hamlet Holdings LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“VoteCo”), is the sole holder of Existing Voting Stock (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Existing Voting Stock is the Company’s only outstanding class of voting stock) and therefore holds sole
voting control of the Company; 
 WHEREAS, each Stockholder owns the number of shares of Existing
Non-Voting Stock set forth opposite its name on Schedule A hereto; 
 WHEREAS, to effect the
Reclassification, the Company intends to amend and restate its Amended Certificate of Incorporation, dated as of January 28, 2008, by filing an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended Charter”) with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary”); 
 WHEREAS, the
Amended Charter will become effective immediately upon its filing with the Delaware Secretary (the “Effective Time”); 
 WHEREAS, certain Stockholders currently own certain indebtedness of Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in the form of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2015,
6.5% Senior Notes due 2016 and 5.75% Senior Notes due 2017, which, pursuant to that certain Investment and Exchange Agreement (Sponsors), dated as of June 3, 2010, among the Company, Harrah’s BC, Inc. and the Stockholders party thereto,
such Stockholders and the Company intend to exchange for New Voting Stock on the terms set forth therein (the “Debt/Equity Exchange”); 
 WHEREAS, upon consummation of the Reclassification at the Effective Time, the Existing Non-Voting Stock held by each Stockholder will be converted into New Voting Stock, and after giving effect to
the Debt/Equity Exchange, each Stockholder will own the number of shares of New Voting Stock set forth opposite its name on Schedule A hereto (the “Subject Shares”); and 

WHEREAS, in connection with the cancellation of the Existing Voting Stock and the conversion of the
Stockholders’ non-voting stock into voting stock, and in compliance with gaming regulatory requirements, each Stockholder desires to vest voting and dispositive control in VoteCo with respect to matters relating to the Company and the Subject
Shares by granting this Proxy as set forth below. 

 Section 1. Representations and Warranties of Each
Stockholder. Each Stockholder represents and warrants to VoteCo with respect to itself as follows: 
 (a)
Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. The Stockholder has requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Proxy. The execution and delivery of this Proxy and the grant hereunder have been duly
and validly authorized by the Stockholder, and no other limited liability company proceedings on the part of the Stockholder are necessary to authorize the grant contemplated by this Proxy. This Proxy has been duly and validly executed and delivered
by the Stockholder and constitutes the valid and binding proxy of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy laws, other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights and general principles of equity. 
 (b) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and
delivery by the Stockholder of this Proxy nor the compliance by the Stockholder with the terms and conditions hereof will violate, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under its organizational documents, or violate, result in a breach of,
or constitute a default under, in each case in any material respect, any agreement, instrument, judgment, order or decree to which the Stockholder is a party or is otherwise bound or give to others any material rights or interests (including rights
of purchase, termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any such agreement or instrument. 
 (c) The
Subject Shares. After giving effect to the Reclassification and the consummation of the Debt/Equity Exchange (i) the Stockholder will be the record and beneficial owner of the Subject Shares set forth opposite its name on Schedule A;
(ii) the Stockholder will have the sole right to vote such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, except as contemplated by this Proxy; and (iii) none of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares will be subject to any voting trust or other
agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares, except as contemplated by this Proxy. 
 Section 2. Irrevocable Proxy. 
 (a) Each
Stockholder hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints VoteCo, with full power of substitution, its true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact to (i) vote all of the Subject Shares at any meeting (and any adjournment or postponement thereof)
of the Company’s stockholders, and in connection with any written consent of the Company’s stockholders and (ii) direct and effect the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any part of the Subject Shares, if, as and when so
determined in the sole discretion of VoteCo. For the avoidance of doubt, if the consummation of the Debt/Equity Exchange shall occur after the Effective Time, then this Proxy shall be effective with respect to that portion of the Subject Shares
attributable to the Debt/Equity Exchange immediately upon the consummation of such Debt/Equity Exchange. 
 (b)
The proxy and power of attorney granted herein shall be irrevocable during the Term (as defined below), shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, and shall revoke all prior proxies granted by
each Stockholder (if any) with respect to the Subject Shares. Each Stockholder shall not grant to any person any proxy which conflicts with the proxy granted herein, and any attempt to do so shall be void. 

  
 2 

 (c) VoteCo may exercise the proxy granted herein with respect to Subject
Shares, only during the Term, and shall have the right to vote the Subject Shares at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders and in any action by written consent of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2(a) above. Unless expressly requested by VoteCo in writing, each Stockholder shall not vote any or all of the Subject Shares at any such meeting or in connection with any such written consent of stockholders. The vote of VoteCo
shall control in any conflict between a vote of or written consent with respect to the Subject Shares by VoteCo and a vote or action by Stockholder with respect to the Subject Shares. 

(d) All or a portion of the Subject Shares, as the case may be, shall be released from the proxy and voting arrangement
created in this Section 2 and in Section 3 below, upon the sale, transfer or other disposition by VoteCo (including pursuant to the consummation of a public offering) of the Subject Shares (a “Release
Event”). Such release of Subject Shares hereunder shall occur automatically, without any requirement for any further act by such Stockholder or the delivery of any certificate to memorialize the same. 

Section 3. Covenants of Each Stockholder. Each Stockholder covenants and agrees during the Term as
follows: 
 (a) The Stockholder hereby agrees, while this Proxy is in effect with respect to any Subject Shares,
and except as contemplated hereby, (i) not to enter into any voting agreements, whether by proxy, voting agreement or other voting arrangement with respect to such Subject Shares, and (ii) not to take any action that would make any
representation or warranty of such Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect, in each case, that would have the effect of preventing the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Proxy. 

(b) The Stockholder shall not (i) sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose or encumber of any of its Subject
Shares, any beneficial ownership thereof or any other interest therein, and (ii) enter into any contract, arrangement or understanding with any person that violates or conflicts with or would reasonably be expected to violate or conflict with,
such Stockholder’s obligations under this Section 3(b). 
 Section 4. Term and
Termination. The term of this Proxy, including the proxy granted pursuant to Section 2 hereof and each Stockholder’s covenants and agreements contained herein with respect to the Subject Shares held by such Stockholder, shall
commence at the Effective Time and shall terminate automatically with respect to any and all Subject Shares as and when, and to the extent, that such Subject Shares are subject to a Release Event as set forth above (the “Term”).

 Section 5. No Liability. Neither VoteCo (or any of its affiliates), nor any direct or
indirect former, current or future partner, member, stockholder, director, manager, officer or agent of VoteCo or any of its affiliates, or any direct or indirect former, current or future partner, member, stockholder, employee, director, manager,
officer or agent of any of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Person”) shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to any or all of the Stockholders or to any or all of the members thereof, their respective
successors or assigns by reason of any act or omission related to the possession or 

  
 3 

 
exercise of this Proxy, and each Stockholder shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in respect of the same. Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that no duty is
owed to such Stockholder by VoteCo (or any or all of the other Indemnified Persons) in connection with or as a result of the granting of this Proxy or by reason of any act or omission related to the possession or the exercise thereof, and, to the
extent any duty shall nonetheless be deemed or found to exist, each Stockholder hereby expressly and knowingly irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all such duty or duties, regardless of type or source.

 Section 6. General Provisions. 

(a) Assignment. This Proxy shall not be assignable by any or all of the Stockholders. 

(b) No Ownership Interest. Except as expressly set forth in this Proxy, nothing contained in this Proxy shall be
deemed to vest in VoteCo any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Subject Shares. 
 (c) Severability. If any provision of this Proxy would be held in any jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be
ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Proxy or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not
be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Proxy or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any
other jurisdiction. 
 (d) Governing Law. This Proxy shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Stockholder has duly executed this Proxy as
of the date first written above.
