WHEREAS, Executive has informed the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) that he does not intend to continue as Chief Executive Officer beyond the expiration of the term of the Employment Agreement on December 31, 2021, but will continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer from the Effective Date hereof until the Board appoints a successor;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.    Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until December 31, 2021, unless earlier terminated as provided herein (the “Term”). During the Term, (i) the period from the Effective Date until the Resignation Date (as defined in Section 2 below) is referred to herein as the “CEO Period,” (ii) the period from the Resignation Date through December 31, 2020 is referred to herein as the “Transition Period” and (iii) the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 is referred to herein as the “Consulting Period,” each unless earlier terminated as provided herein.

2.    CEO Period.

(a)    Continuation as CEO. Executive shall continue to be employed as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company from the Effective Date hereof until the effective date of the appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer by the Board, in its discretion (the “Resignation Date”). During the CEO Period, Executive shall continue to perform his duties as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and all terms of the Employment Agreement (including with respect to compensation and benefits of Executive) shall continue in full force and effect, except that Section 10 of the Employment Agreement shall be superseded by Section 4 hereof and Section 3(f) below shall apply. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Executive shall remain entitled to payment of his annual bonus for fiscal year 2019 pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2 of the Employment Agreement, the amount which has been previously approved by the Compensation Committee and communicated to Executive (the “2019 Annual Bonus”).

(b)    Resignation of Offices. On the Resignation Date, Executive shall be deemed to resign from his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Following the Resignation Date, Executive shall continue to serve as Chairman of the Board until such date as the Board requests that he resign, and on such date, Executive shall be deemed to resign as Chairman of the Board, as a member of the Board and as an officer or member of the board of directors of any of the Company’s affiliates.

Executive shall sign all letters of resignation and other documentation as may be reasonably requested to effectuate the foregoing. Executive’s execution of this Agreement shall be deemed the grant by Executive to the Company and each other entity referred to above a limited power of attorney to sign in Executive’s name and on Executive’s behalf such documentation as may be necessary or appropriate for the limited purposes of effectuating the foregoing.

(c)    Termination of Employment Agreement. Upon the Resignation Date, the Employment Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, except for those provisions that are incorporated by reference to this Agreement, as provided in Section 7 hereof or otherwise. The parties agree that neither the entering into of this Agreement nor the matters contemplated hereby shall give to rise to any right or claim of “Employee’s Good Cause,” nor of termination by the Company for reasons other than “Employer’s Good Cause” under Employment Agreement (nor any similar right under any other compensation or benefit plan of the Company), except as specifically provided in Section 4 hereof.

3.    Transition Period.

(a)    Position and Duties. Executive shall continue as an employee of the Company during the Transition Period, subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 3(e) hereof. During the Transition Period, Executive shall serve as Senior Advisor of the Company under the terms of this Agreement. Executive shall perform such duties and responsibilities as may be reasonably requested by the Board in its sole discretion, including with respect to the transition of his duties to a new Chief Executive Officer and the matters specified on Appendix A

Consistent with and subject to the terms of Section 4 of the Employment Agreement (including the permitted activities described therein), Executive’s employment by the Company during the Transition Period shall continue to be exclusive to the Company, and Executive agrees to perform his duties during the Transition Period in a competent, trustworthy and businesslike manner.

(b)    Compensation. During the Transition Period, Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation and benefits:

(i)    Base Salary. The Company shall pay Executive a base salary at the current rate of $2,000,000 per annum during the Transition Period, payable in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices.

(ii)    Annual Bonus. Executive’s annual bonus for fiscal year 2020 shall be fixed at $4,000,000, which is his target annual bonus amount under Section 3.2 of the Employment Agreement (the “2020 Annual Bonus”). Executive hereby waives any right under the Employment Agreement to any other annual bonus payment for fiscal year 2020, as well as to any annual bonus for fiscal year 2021. Subject to Executive’s continued employment through the end of the Transition Period, the 2020 Annual Bonus shall be paid in a cash lump sum not earlier than December 31, 2020 and not later than March 15, 2021.

(iii)    Equity Awards. All outstanding long-term incentive equity awards granted to Executive under the Company’s 2005 Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) prior to the Transition Period shall continue in effect during the Transition Period subject to the same vesting and other terms and conditions under the applicable award agreements and the Omnibus Plan, with Executive’s service during the Transition Period credited as service for all purposes thereof. For fiscal year 2020, Executive will be granted an equity award (the “2020 Equity Award”) with respect to Company common shares with an aggregate grant date fair market value of $7,000,000, which is consistent with the value of the annual equity award granted to Executive in prior fiscal years. The 2020 Equity Award shall be in the form of time-based restricted stock units that shall vest ratably on a monthly basis from the date of grant through the Transition Period and until the end of the Consulting Period. The 2020 Equity Award shall be granted at the same time as equity awards are granted to senior executives of the Company generally during fiscal 2020 (the “2020 Grant Date”), subject to Executive’s continued employment through the date of grant or as otherwise provided herein, and shall be subject to the terms of the Omnibus Plan and the Company’s standard award agreement to be entered into under the Omnibus Plan, modified as necessary to reflect the terms of this Agreement. Executive hereby waives his rights under the Employment Agreement to any equity award other than the 2020 Equity Award for fiscal year 2020, as well as to any equity award for fiscal year 2021. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall grant the 2020 Equity Award to Executive on the 2020 Grant Date or as otherwise set forth below regardless of whether the 2020 Grant Date occurs during the CEO Period or the Transition Period.

(c)    Employee Benefits; Expenses. During the Transition Period, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the same employee and fringe benefit plans, and shall be entitled to reimbursement of business and travel expenses, on the same basis as provided under Section 3.5

of the Employment Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall cease to have a contractual right under the provisions of Section 13 of the Employment Agreement relating to Executive’s personal use of corporate aircraft during the Transition Period or thereafter, but Executive shall continue to have during the Term the travel arrangements specified in Section 13 of the Employment Agreement (i) for business purposes during the CEO Period and Transition Period and (ii) to the extent necessary for the performance of Executive’s services requested by the Board hereunder during the Consulting Period.    

(d)    Employment Status. During the Transition Period, Executive shall continue in his capacity as an employee of the Company, including for purposes of all federal, state and local laws and regulations governing employment, including applicable tax laws. Executive shall continue to be subject to the employment policies and procedures of the Company during the Transition Period.

(e)    Termination of Transition Period. The Company or Executive may terminate the Transition Period at any time for any reason upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. If the Transition Period is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for “Employer’s Good Cause” (as defined in Section 3(f) below), Executive shall be entitled to the Separation Benefits under Section 4 hereof, subject to the conditions thereof. If the Company terminates the Transition Period by reason of “Employer’s Good Cause” (as defined in Section 3(f) below), or if Executive terminates the Transition Period for any reason, Executive shall have no rights to any payments and benefits under Section 3(b) hereof or otherwise following the date of termination, other than the Accrued Obligations described in clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) of Section 10.1 of the Employment Agreement and payment of the 2019 Annual Bonus to the extent not already paid. If the Transition Period is terminated by reason of death or “Disability” (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Executive shall have the rights and benefits provided under Section 4 hereof. The termination or expiration of the Transition Period (or the termination of the CEO Period on December 31, if applicable under Section 1 hereof), shall constitute a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

(f)    Employer’s Good Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Employer’s Good Cause” shall mean (i) the conviction of Executive, or the entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere by Executive to, any felony or any other crime that has a material adverse economic or reputational impact on the Company, (ii) Executive’s willful act of fraud, or willful misconduct in connection with Executive’s relationship the Company, that has a material adverse economic or reputational impact on the Company, (iii) Executive’s dereliction of duties to the Company that is material in nature, excluding acts or omissions that are immaterial or inadvertent or any failure to perform to a particular standard specified by the Board after expenditure of good faith efforts or (iv) Executive is found disqualified or not suitable to hold a casino or other gaming license by a final, non-appealable determination (or if Executive fails to appeal a determination that may be appealed) of an applicable governmental gaming authority, which causes Executive’s failure or inability to satisfy the requirements stated in Section 6 of the Employment Agreement (Licensing Requirements), in each case of clauses (i) through (iv), which is not cured by Executive within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the Company specifying the facts and circumstances of the alleged event, during which 30-day period Executive shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard by the Board; provided, however, that such notice, opportunity to cure and opportunity to be heard shall not be required prior to termination if

4

such breach is not capable of being cured within thirty (30) days; provided, further, that an act or omission shall only be considered “willful” if done, or omitted to be done, by Executive with knowledge and intent. The foregoing shall not limit the right of the Company to terminate this Agreement on the same basis as described in Section 7 of the Employment Agreement (relating to licensing requirements), which is incorporated herein by reference, except that such termination shall only be treated as for “Employer’s Good Cause” if clause (iv) above is satisfied.
