(b) Continued Healthcare. If Executive elects to receive continued healthcare coverage pursuant to the provisions of COBRA, the Company will directly pay, or reimburse Executive for, the premium for Executive and Executive’s covered dependents through the earliest to occur of (i) the 12-month anniversary of the Covered Termination and (ii) the first date on which Executive and Executive’s covered dependents become eligible for substantially comparable healthcare coverage under another employer’s plans; provided that as soon as administratively practicable following the date the Release effective and non-revocable (so long as such Release becomes effective on or before the 60th day following date of such Covered Termination), the Company will pay to Executive a cash lump-sum payment equal to the monthly premiums that would have been paid on behalf of Executive had such payments commenced on the date of the Covered Termination.

Person as determined in good faith by the Company, will perform the foregoing calculations and the Company will bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may engage in civil and not-for-profit activities, and/or maintain passive investments, in each case so long as such activities do not materially interfere or conflict with the performance of Executive’s duties or the Company’s gaming licenses, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board. 6.2 Conflict of Interest; Non-Competition. During the term of Executive’s employment by the Company and for a period of one-year following Executive’s termination of service for any reason, Executive will not directly or indirectly, whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, proprietor, associate, representative, consultant, or in any capacity whatsoever engage in, become financially interested in, be employed by or have any business connection with any other Person known by Executive to compete directly with the Company, throughout the world, in any line of business engaged in (or planned to be engaged in) by the Company; provided, however, that Executive may own, as a passive investor, securities of any competitor corporation, so long as Executive’s direct holdings in any such corporation do not in the aggregate constitute more than 1% of the voting stock of such corporation. 6.3 Non-Solicitation. During the term of Executive’s employment and for a period of one-year following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason, Executive shall not (a) solicit, divert or take away any of the Company’s customers, suppliers or accounts; or (b) divert, take away, hire, solicit or seek to induce employment of any person who is then an employee of the Company; provided, however, that a general advertisement to which an employee of the Company responds shall not on its own result in a breach of this Section 6.3. 6.4 Confidential and Proprietary Information. Except as Executive reasonably and in good faith determines to be required in the faithful performance of Executive’s duties hereunder, Executive shall, during the term of his employment and following his termination of service for any reason, maintain in confidence and shall not directly or indirectly, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, for Executive’s benefit or the benefit of any other Person, any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating to the Company, including, without limitation, information with respect to the Company’s operations, processes, protocols, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status, compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment (“Proprietary Information”), or deliver to any Person, any document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such Proprietary Information. Executive’s obligation to maintain and not use, disseminate, disclose or publish, for Executive’s benefit or the benefit of any other Person, any Proprietary Information after Executive’s termination of service will continue so long as such Proprietary Information is not, or has not by legitimate means become, generally known and in the public domain (other than by means of Executive’s direct or indirect disclosure of such Proprietary Information) and continues to be maintained 7

as Proprietary Information by the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to prohibit Executive from filing a charge or complaint, participating or cooperating with, or receiving an award for any information provided to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other federal, state or local government agency or commission. 6.5 Work Product.

Executive shall execute any and all documents and shall provide such assistance necessary either to evidence or register the assignment of these rights. 6.6 Cooperation. Executive agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Company during the term of his employment hereunder and thereafter, at the Company sole expense relating to any travel or other out-of- pocket expenses incurred, in connection with any governmental, regulatory, commercial, private or other investigations, arbitrations, litigations or similar matters that may arise during the term of his employment hereunder, or in any way relate to events that occurred during term of his employment hereunder, until such investigations, arbitrations, litigations or similar matters are completely resolved. ARTICLE VII GENERAL PROVISIONS 7.1 Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Executive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, against all costs, charges, expenses, claims and judgments incurred or sustained by Executive in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which Executive may be made a party by reason of being, or agreeing to be, an officer, director or employee of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. The Company shall provide directors and officers insurance for Executive in reasonable amounts. The Board shall determine, in its sole discretion, the availability of insurance upon reasonable terms and the amount of such insurance coverage. 7.2 Tax Matters. (a) Section 409A. It is intended that any right to receive installment payments pursuant to this Agreement will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. It is further intended that all payments and benefits hereunder satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemption from the application of Section 409A of the Code (and any state law of similar effect) provided under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (as a “short-term deferral”) and are otherwise exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code, if the designated payment period for any payment under this Agreement begins in one taxable year and ends in the next taxable year, the payment will commence or otherwise be made in the later taxable year. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, if the Company determines that Executive is a “specified employee” under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time 8

of Executive’s separation from service, then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the payments or benefits to which Executive is entitled pursuant to this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion will not be provided until the earlier (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from Executive’s separation from service or (ii) the date of Executive’s death. As soon as administratively practicable following the expiration of the applicable Section 409A(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to the preceding sentence will be paid in a lump-sum to Executive and any remaining payments due pursuant to this Agreement will be paid as otherwise provided herein. (b) Expense Reimbursement. To the extent that any reimbursements payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, such reimbursement will be paid to Executive no later than December 31st of the year following the year in which such expense was incurred. The amount of expenses reimbursed in one year will not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year and Executive’s right to reimbursement under this Agreement will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. (c) Withholding. All amounts and benefits payable under this Agreement are subject to deduction and withholding to the extent required by applicable law. 7.3 At-Will Employment. Executive’s employment relationship with the Company is at-will. Either Executive or the Company may terminate Executive’s employment or service at any time for any or no reason, with or without cause. 7.4 Compensation Recoupment. All amounts payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to recoupment pursuant to any compensation recoupment policy that is applicable generally to executive officers of the Company and in effect from time to time. 7.5 Notice. Any notices provided hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon the earlier of personal delivery (including personal delivery by facsimile) or the third day after mailing by first class mail, to the Company at its primary office location and to Executive at Executive’s address as listed on the Company payroll. 7.6 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein. 7.7 Choice of Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the law of the State of Illinois without regard to the conflicts of law provisions. 7.8 Dispute Resolution; Arbitration. Unless otherwise prohibited by law or specified below, all disputes, claims and causes of action, in law or equity, arising from or relating to this Agreement or its enforcement, performance, breach, or interpretation will be resolved solely and exclusively by final and binding arbitration in Xxxx County, Illinois through Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services/Endispute (“JAMS”) before a single neutral arbitrator, in accordance with the JAMS employment arbitration rules then in effect. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO ARBITRABLE CLAIMS. The JAMS rules may be found and reviewed at 9

xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx. The arbitrator will issue a written decision that contains the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. 7.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Executive and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous offers, negotiations and agreements, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter, including the Offer Letter. This Agreement is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein or therein and may not be modified or amended except in a writing signed by an officer of the Company and Executive.
