NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.Employment Status; Continuing Obligations.

(a)General.

(i)Date of Termination. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that his separation from service from the Company and from any other position he holds as an officer, director, committee member, or other service provider of the Company and its subsidiaries will become effective as of the close of business on February 8, 2019 (the “Termination Date”), and such termination shall be treated as a termination of the Executive’s employment without Cause under Section 7 of the Employment Agreement and all equity incentive awards and for all other purposes; provided, that such separation from service may

occur earlier upon the Executive’s death, a termination due to his Disability, a mutual agreement to terminate his employment, the Executive’s voluntary resignation without Good Reason or for Good Reason, or a termination by the Company for Cause (in any case, an “Early Termination”).

(ii)Status with the Company Post-Termination. The Executive shall not represent himself after the Termination Date as being an employee, officer, director, agent, or representative of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any purpose. The Termination Date shall be the termination date of the Executive’s employment for purposes of participation in and coverage under all benefit plans and programs sponsored by or through the Company, except as otherwise provided herein.

(iii)Terms of Continued Employment Following the Effective Date. The terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement shall govern the Executive’s continued employment with the Company from and after the Effective Date (as defined above).

(b)Pre-Termination Date Compensation and Benefits.

(i)Base Salary and Benefits. From the Effective Date and continuing through the Termination Date, the Executive will continue to receive his current Annual Base Salary (at the rate of two million dollars ($2,000,000) per annum), to be eligible to participate in the health insurance and other benefit plans of the Company in which he is currently eligible to participate, and to receive the perquisites and other personal benefits currently provided to him, subject in all cases to the discretion of the Company to amend or terminate any or all of such plans or arrangements at any time and from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.

(ii)Other Compensation. In addition, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following compensation, subject to his continued employment with the Company through the earlier of the Termination Date and the applicable payment date:

(A)The Executive shall be entitled to an Annual Bonus for the fiscal year of the Company ending December 31, 2018. Such Annual Bonus will be determined by the Company consistent with past practice based solely on the actual level of achievement of the applicable performance goals for such year and will be payable if and when annual bonuses for such year are paid to other senior executives of the Company.

(B)The Executive will continue vesting in all equity compensation previously granted to him through the Termination Date in accordance with the vesting schedule and other terms and conditions set forth in the award agreement governing such equity compensation.

(c)Restrictive Covenants. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees to comply with the covenants set forth in Sections 12, 13 and 14 of the Employment Agreement, which shall continue to apply to him in accordance with their terms and shall survive any termination of employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, nothing shall prohibit Executive from soliciting and hiring his administrative assistant and security person. Sections 12, 13, and 14 of the Employment Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

(d)Post-Employment Cooperation. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees to comply with his post-employment covenants to cooperate with the Company and to assist the Company and its affiliates with certain matters relating to the Executive’s employment with the Company as set forth in Section 16 of the Employment Agreement, which covenants are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. In addition, the Executive shall consult with the Board and any designated delegate on any matters requested by the Board for a six month period (the “Consulting Period”) following the Termination Date. During the Consulting Period the Company shall pay executive eighty-three thousand three hundred and thirty three dollars ($83,333) per month, in advance, provided, that, either party may terminate the Consulting Period upon 30 days’ notice. In the event, either party exercises its right to terminate the Consulting Period the monthly payments shall cease as of the last day of the 30 day notice period.

(e)Personal Effects. The Executive will be permitted to remove his personal effects from the Company’s premises. The Executive will further be permitted to retain a copy of his contact lists and personal emails maintained in any physical form or on any Company computer or server, provided, however, that (a) copies will be identified and provided to the Executive in accordance with the Company’s historic process in similar circumstances and (b) the Executive will, subject to the immediately following sentence, not produce such emails without the consent of the Company. Nothing herein shall prevent the Executive from producing any emails or contact lists (a) when required by law, subpoena, or court order, (b) in the course of any legal, arbitral, or regulatory proceeding, (c) to any governmental authority, regulatory agency or self-regulatory organization or (d) in connection with any investigation by the Company. The Executive agrees to retain any emails or contact lists in his possession that may be relevant to any pending or probable litigation, subject to contrary instructions from the Company.

Section 2.Payments and Benefits Upon Termination of Employment.

(a)Accrued Benefits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Executive shall receive the following accrued benefits, unless otherwise noted below, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Termination Date: (i) any Annual Base Salary earned for periods worked, but unpaid, through the Termination Date, payable on the next regular payroll date of the Company following the Termination Date (or such earlier date if required by applicable law), (ii) reimbursement for all unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the Executive in accordance with Company policy prior to the Termination Date and timely submitted for reimbursement in accordance with the Company’s business expense reimbursement policy, and (iii) all benefits accrued and vested up to the Termination Date under all other employee benefit plans of the Company in which the Executive participates (except for any plan that provides for severance, separation pay, or termination benefits) in accordance with the terms of such plans (collectively, the “Accrued Benefits”). The Executive agrees that, pursuant to the Company’s vacation policy, executives do not accrue days or carry a balance of unused vacation time. Accordingly, as of the Termination Date, the Executive shall have no accrued and unused vacation days or other paid time off, and Accrued Benefits shall not include any payment therefor.

(b)Separation Payments and Benefits. In consideration for this Agreement and executing the Release and Waiver of Claims attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”), the Company will pay or provide the Executive the following separation payments and benefits (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”):

(i)Cash Severance. The Executive will receive a cash severance benefit equal to the sum of (x) two (2) times Executive’s Annual Base Salary and (y) Executive’s Target Bonus amount, which cash severance benefit will be paid in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices during the twenty-four (24) month period commencing on the Termination Date (the “Severance Period”). The gross, pre-tax amount of the cash severance described in this paragraph (i) equals $8,000,000.

(ii)Prorated Bonus Upon Termination. If the Executive terminates on the Termination Date or pursuant to an Early Termination in 2019, the Executive will be entitled to receive a Prorated Bonus for the 2019 fiscal year based on actual full year performance, pro-rated to reflect service through the Termination Date, and paid when bonuses are payable generally to active employees, but no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such bonus becomes payable.

(iii)Continued Health, Disability and Life Insurance Subsidy. Subject to the Executive’s timely election and continuation of coverage under the Company’s health insurance benefit plans pursuant to the statutory scheme commonly known as “COBRA,” the Executive will receive a monthly cash payment during the Severance Period equal to monthly cost to Executive of COBRA continuation coverage. In addition, during the Severance Period the Executive will receive a monthly payment equal to the cost that

the Company would have paid to provide life insurance and disability insurance to Executive if he were an active employee.

(iv)Equity Compensation. Executives unvested equity awards shall be treated as set forth on Exhibit B.

(v)Legal Fees. The Company will reimburse the Executive for the documented legal fees incurred by him in connection with the negotiation, drafting, and execution of this Agreement (including exhibits), which reimbursement shall not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000).

(c)Payment Schedule. Any Severance Benefits that would otherwise become due, pursuant to the payment schedule described above, prior to the Release Effective Date (as defined in the Release) shall be held back by the Company and paid or provided to the Executive, without interest, as soon as practicable following, and subject to the occurrence of, the Release Effective Date.

(d)No Further Payments or Benefits. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the payments provided pursuant to this Agreement are in full discharge of any and all liabilities and obligations of the Company to him, monetarily or with respect to employee benefits or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any and all obligations arising under any written or oral employment agreement, policy, plan, or procedure of the Company or any actual or purported understanding or arrangement between the Executive and the Company (or anyone purporting to act on the Company’s behalf).

(e)Early Termination. If the Executive is terminated earlier than the Termination Date, then such termination of employment shall be governed by the Employment Agreement, and the Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits applicable thereunder, and the Executive’s rights with respect to the equity awards then held by him that remain unvested as of the such date shall be governed exclusively by the applicable award agreement and the corresponding Company’s Equity Plan (and not this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, upon an Early Termination by the Company without Cause or due to an mutual agreement to terminate Executive’s employment, the Executive shall remain entitled to receive the Severance Benefits. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 11.1 of the Employment Agreement.

Section 3.Non-Admission.

Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed or construed as an admission of wrongdoing or liability on the part of the Executive or the Company.

Section 4.No Re-Employment.

The Executive hereby agrees to waive any and all claims to re-employment with the Company. The Executive affirmatively agrees not to seek further employment with the Company.

Section 5.Withholding; Taxes.

The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement any federal, state, local, and foreign withholding and other taxes and charges that the Company is required to withhold. The Company shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel if any questions as to the amount or requirement of withholding shall arise.

Section 6.Code Section 409A.

The payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from or otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), and this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with such intent and, accordingly, the parties hereto agree that the payments and benefits

set forth herein comply with or are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and agree not to take any position, and to cause their respective agents, accountants, affiliates, successors and assigns not to take any position, inconsistent with such interpretation for any reporting purposes whether internal or external. Each payment under this Agreement will be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. Payment of certain benefits under this Agreement is subject to Executive’s execution of the Release within 21 days after the termination of Executive’s employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such 21-day period ends in a calendar year after the calendar year in which Executive’s employment terminates, then, but only to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code to avoid taxes and/or interest thereunder on any payments or benefits, any payments and benefits set forth above that would have been made during the calendar year in which Executive’s employment terminates instead shall be withheld and paid on the first business day in the calendar year after the calendar year in which Executive’s employment terminates, with all remaining payments to be made as if no such delay had occurred. If at the time of Executive’s separation from service, (A) Executive is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), and (B) if an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid additional taxes or interest under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay it in a lump sum on the first business day after such six-month period (or, if earlier, upon Executive’s death).

Section 7.No Mitigation.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Employment Agreement or otherwise to the contrary, the Executive shall not be required, as a condition to receiving any payments or benefits under this Agreement or otherwise, to seek or obtain any other employment after any termination of his employment or to take any steps to reduce the amount of any payment or benefit described in this Agreement or otherwise. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided in this Agreement or otherwise shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of any employment by another employer.

Section 8.Clawback Policy.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) any changes to Section 8.14 of the Company’s 2017 Performance Incentive Plan, the Company’s 2012 Performance Incentive Plan and Ceasars Acquisition Company’s 2014 Performance Incentive Plan (collectively, the “PIPs”) adverse to the Executive after the Termination Date will not apply to the Executive, (ii) any clawback policies entered into or adopted by the Company or any subsidiary after the Termination Date shall not apply to the Executive, (iii) Section 8.14(b) of the PIPs shall not be applicable to the Executive after the Termination Date, and (iv) the Company’s stock ownership guidelines will cease to apply to the Executive on the date the Release becomes non-revocable.

Section 9.Assignment and Successors.

The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any entity, including any successor to all or substantially all the assets of the Company, by merger or otherwise, and may assign or encumber this Agreement and its rights hereunder as security for indebtedness of the Company and its Affiliates. The Executive may not assign his rights or obligations under this Agreement to any individual or entity. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel, legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable. In the event of the Executive’s death following a termination of his employment, all unpaid amounts otherwise due the Executive shall be paid to his estate.

Section 10.Enforcement.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision were never a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or

unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.

Section 11.Construction.

This Agreement shall be deemed drafted equally by both of the parties hereto. Its language shall be construed as a whole and according to its fair meaning. Any presumption or principle that the language is to be construed against any party shall not apply. The headings in this Agreement are only for convenience and are not intended to affect construction or interpretation. Any references to paragraphs, subparagraphs, sections, or subsections are to those parts of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary.

The Executive acknowledges and agrees that by virtue of the foregoing, he has waived any relief available to him (including, without limitation, monetary damages, equitable relief, and reinstatement) under any of the claims or causes of action waived in this Release.

(f)ADEA Release. By executing this Release, the Executive understands that he is explicitly releasing all claims relating to his employment and its termination under the ADEA, a United States federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefit plans.

(g)Rights to Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, following the Termination Date, the Executive shall continue to enjoy rights of indemnification from the Company against third-party claims consistent with the indemnification protections available from time to time to active officers and directors of the Company as if he continued to be an active officer of the Company, and as set forth in Sections 6.3 and 20 of the Employment Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting any other exclusions from such policy, such rights to indemnification shall not protect the Executive against damages or losses incurred by him in connection with any claims arising from his acts of gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or concealment.
