WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have requested that the Administrative Agent and the existing Lenders amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party hereto (constituting the Required Lenders) have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(a)Section 7.02(b)(xxi) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(xxi)the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding under this clause (xxi), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xxi), not to exceed $40 million; provided that Indebtedness under this clause (xxi) may be designated as Parity Lien Debt (but not Priority Lien Debt).”

SECTION 2.Representations and Warranties of the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants, as of the Effective Date, as follows:

(a)The Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state or jurisdiction of its organization or formation, (ii) has all requisite entity power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted and as presently contemplated and, in the case of the Borrower, to make the borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and, in the case of the Loan Parties, to execute and deliver this Amendment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except (solely for the purposes of this subclause (iii)) where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment, (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action, (ii) do not and will not contravene (A) any of its Governing Documents, (B) any applicable Requirement of Law (including any and all Gaming Laws) or (C) any Contractual Obligation binding on or otherwise affecting it or any of its properties, (iii) do not and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien (other than pursuant to any Loan Document) upon or with respect to any of its properties, and (iv) do not and will not result in any default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval (including any and all Gaming Licenses) applicable to its operations or any of its properties, except, in the case of clauses (ii)(B), (ii)(C) or (iv), to the extent where such contravention, default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party hereto, and this Amendment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

(d)No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the Effective Date or would result from this Amendment or any other Loan Documents becoming effective in accordance with its or their respective terms.

No transfer of property is being made by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and no obligation is being incurred by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Amendment or the other Loan Documents with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud either present or future creditors of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(f)The representations and warranties contained in Article VI of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document, certificate or other writing delivered to any Secured Party pursuant hereto or thereto on or prior to the date hereof are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that already are qualified or modified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” in the text thereof, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects subject to such qualification) on and as of the date hereof as though made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates solely to an earlier date (in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that already are qualified or modified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” in the text thereof, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects subject to such qualification) on and as of such earlier date).

SECTION 5.Reference to and Effect upon the Loan Documents.

(a)Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms, conditions, covenants, representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents before giving effect to this Amendment, and all rights of the members of the Secured Parties and all of the Obligations, shall remain in full force and effect. Each of the Loan Parties hereby confirms that the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are in full force and effect and that, as of the Effective Date, no Loan Party has any right of setoff, recoupment or other offset or any defense, claim or counterclaim with respect to any of the Obligations, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and nothing herein shall be deemed or otherwise construed to constitute a course of dealing between the parties hereto.

(b)Except as expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not directly or indirectly (i) constitute a consent or waiver of any past, present or future violations of any provisions of the Credit Agreement, this Amendment or any other Loan Document, (ii) except as expressly provided herein, amend, modify or operate as a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any right, power or remedy of any Secured Party or (iii) constitute a course of dealing or other basis for altering any obligations or any other contract or instrument.

(e)The parties hereto expressly acknowledge that it is not their intention that this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents executed or delivered pursuant hereto constitute a satisfaction, reinstatement, novation or release of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, but rather constitute a modification thereof or supplement thereto pursuant to the terms contained herein.

SECTION 8.Headings. Headings used in this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.Severability. Any provision of this Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
