(b) Prior to Eldorado or any Eldorado Related Party consummating, or to the extent within their control, permitting the consummation of, any Propco Opportunity Transaction, Eldorado shall deliver to Propco a package of information describing such Propco Opportunity Transaction and the terms upon which Affiliates of Eldorado would lease or sub-lease the ROFR Property (the “Propco Opportunity Package”), including, without limitation, the following information (subject to execution of a customary non-disclosure agreement): (i) whether the ROFR Property is owned by Eldorado, an Affiliate of Eldorado or CBAC, CRBH or a Subsidiary thereof in fee or leased from a third party; (ii) the material acquisition terms, including, without limitation, the purchase price and the expected timeline for and a description of the proposed structure of such Propco Opportunity Transaction; (iii) three (3) years of audited (to the extent reasonably available; otherwise unaudited) financial statements of the ROFR Property or the owner of the ROFR Property, as applicable (the “Financial Information”); (iv) a description of the regulatory framework applicable to the ROFR Property, including the amount and timing of any licensing fees and gaming taxes with respect thereto; and (v) a term sheet setting forth proposed terms of the ROFR Lease, which term sheet shall include, without limitation, Eldorado’s proposal for the initial ROFR Property Rent and Eldorado’s proposal for ROFR Property Rent adjustments thereafter (including annual escalations and allocations of fixed and variable rent if applicable) and, if the ROFR Lease is a lease under clause (i) of the definition of ROFR Lease, the other items set forth on Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”). Promptly upon Propco’s reasonable request therefor, Eldorado shall provide to Propco additional information related to the Propco Opportunity Transaction, to the extent such information is reasonably available to Eldorado.

(c) Propco may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to exercise its right to cause its Affiliate to own or lease the ROFR Property and cause the ROFR Property to be leased or sub-leased to Affiliates of Eldorado or CBAC, CRBH or a Subsidiary thereof in accordance with the terms set forth in the Propco Opportunity Package (the “Propco ROFR”), which Propco ROFR shall be exercisable by written notice thereof from Propco to Eldorado prior to the expiration of the Propco Election Period. If Propco does not so exercise the Propco ROFR prior to the expiration of the Propco Election Period, then Propco shall be deemed to have waived the Propco ROFR with respect to the applicable Propco Opportunity Transaction only.

(d) If Propco waives (or is deemed to have waived) the Propco ROFR with respect to a Propco Opportunity Transaction, then Eldorado (or the applicable Eldorado Related Party) shall be free to consummate (or permit the consummation of) the Propco Opportunity

Transaction without Propco’s (or its Affiliates’) involvement, and, if applicable, upon terms not materially more favorable to the applicable purchaser/lessor of the ROFR Property (if any) than those presented to Propco in the Propco Opportunity Package. If at any time following Propco’s waiver (or deemed waiver) of such Propco Opportunity Transaction, Eldorado (or the applicable Eldorado Related Party) desires to consummate (or permit the consummation of) such Propco Opportunity Transaction with a purchaser/lessor upon terms that are materially more favorable to the applicable purchaser/lessor than those presented to Propco in the Propco Opportunity Package (the “Alternate Propco ROFR Terms”), then the provisions of this Section 2 shall be reinstated with respect to such Propco Opportunity Transaction, and Eldorado shall be required to deliver to Propco a new Propco Opportunity Package (except that such Propco Opportunity Package shall reflect the Alternate Propco ROFR Terms in lieu of the ROFR Property Rent and other Propco ROFR terms initially included in the Propco Opportunity Package) and otherwise comply once again with the procedures set forth herein prior to consummating (or permitting the consummation of) such Propco Opportunity Transaction, except that the Propco Election Period will be twenty (20) days in lieu of thirty (30) days. If Propco waives (or is deemed to have waived) the Propco ROFR, Eldorado (or the applicable Eldorado Related Party or CBAC, CRBH or a Subsidiary thereof) shall have (i) a period of one hundred twenty (120) days (the “Eldorado Marketing and Negotiation Period”) following such waiver or deemed waiver, as applicable, in which to execute definitive purchase and lease agreements with a third party on terms not materially more favorable than those presented to Propco in the Propco Opportunity Package, and (ii) in the event such definitive agreements are executed in such one hundred twenty (120) day period, an additional period of one hundred eighty (180) days (the “Eldorado Closing Period”) from the execution thereof in which to consummate the Propco Opportunity Transaction (provided, that the Eldorado Closing Period may be extended by Eldorado for an additional ninety (90) days, if at the time of extension Eldorado and/or its Affiliates and/or CBAC, CRBH or a Subsidiary thereof and the applicable purchaser/lessor are diligently proceeding to close their transaction and reasonably expect that such transaction will close within such period). If, at the end of the Eldorado Marketing and Negotiation Period or the Eldorado Closing Period (subject to extension as set forth above), as applicable, such definitive agreements have not been executed or the Propco Opportunity Transaction has not been consummated, as applicable, then the provisions of this Section 2 shall be reinstated with respect to such Propco Opportunity Transaction, and Eldorado shall be required to deliver to Propco a new Propco Opportunity Package and otherwise comply once again with the procedures set forth herein prior to consummating such Propco Opportunity Transaction.

(e) If Propco exercises the Propco ROFR with respect to a Propco Opportunity Transaction, then Eldorado (or the applicable Eldorado Related Party) and Propco shall proceed with the Propco Opportunity Transaction and shall structure the Propco Opportunity Transaction in a manner that allows the ROFR Property to be owned or leased (in the event the ROFR Property is then leased by Eldorado or its Affiliates as tenant from a third party (“Third Party Lease”)), as applicable, by an Affiliate of Propco and leased or sub-leased, as applicable, to Affiliates of Eldorado or CBAC, CRBH or a Subsidiary thereof pursuant to the ROFR Lease; provided that the structure of the Propco Opportunity Transaction as an asset sale or a sale of equity interests shall be as mutually agreed between Eldorado and Propco; and provided further, that if structured as a sale of equity interests, the equity shall be of a newly formed entity disregarded as separate from Eldorado (or the applicable Eldorado Related Party) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the only assets of which are the ROFR Property and the only liabilities of which are customary

property related liabilities. Eldorado and Propco shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts, for a period of ninety (90) days following the date on which Propco exercises the Propco ROFR, which such period may be extended upon the mutual agreement of Eldorado and Propco (the “Propco ROFR Discussion Period”), to (i) negotiate and enter into (or cause their applicable Affiliates or CBAC, CRBH or a Subsidiary thereof to enter into) a purchase and sale agreement for the ROFR Property (the “Purchase Agreement”), the ROFR Lease and any other agreements to be executed in connection with the foregoing and (ii) complete due diligence of the ROFR Property. If, despite the good faith, commercially reasonable efforts of Propco and Eldorado, the parties are unable to reach agreement on the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the ROFR Lease or any other agreements to be executed in connection with the foregoing prior to the expiration of the Propco ROFR Discussion Period, then, upon the expiration of the Propco ROFR Discussion Period, either (1) the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the ROFR Lease shall be established pursuant to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 (other than the specific terms thereof which were expressly set forth in the Propco Opportunity Package and the Term Sheet which shall not be subject to arbitration), or (2) solely with the written consent of Propco (which may be granted or withheld in Propco’s sole and absolute discretion), Eldorado (or the applicable Eldorado Related Party) shall be free to consummate or permit the consummation of the Propco Opportunity Transaction without Propco’s (or its Affiliates’) involvement, in accordance with, and subject to the conditions of, Section 2(d) (and Propco shall be deemed to have waived the Propco ROFR with respect to the applicable Propco Opportunity Transaction only). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event arbitration is commenced during the Propco ROFR Discussion Period, the Propco ROFR Discussion Period shall be tolled for the duration of such arbitration.

(f) Following the expiration of the Propco ROFR Discussion Period (or receipt of a final decision by the Arbitration Panel, as applicable), Eldorado, Propco and their respective Affiliates (as applicable) shall have one hundred eighty (180) days, to obtain all applicable licenses, qualifications or approvals from all Gaming Authorities necessary for Propco and its Affiliates (as applicable) to own the ROFR Property and lease the ROFR Property to Eldorado or its Affiliates or CBAC, CRBH or Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, and for Eldorado and its Affiliates or CBAC, CRBH or a Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, to sell the ROFR Property (including the Third Party Lease, if applicable) to and lease the ROFR Property from Propco and its Affiliates (the “Licensing Period”), provided that such period may be extended by Eldorado or Propco or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, by up to an additional ninety (90) days if, in such party’s reasonable discretion, it is reasonably likely that such party or its Affiliates will obtain such licenses, qualifications or approvals during such period. Eldorado, Propco and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate during the Licensing Period in promptly seeking to obtain all such licenses, qualifications or approvals (including supplying the other party with any information which may be required in order to obtain such licenses, qualifications or approvals, and responding as promptly as practicable to any inquiry or request received from any Gaming Authority for additional information or documentation). If, on or prior to the expiration of the Licensing Period, as extended pursuant to the foregoing, Propco and its Affiliates (as applicable) are unable to obtain all such necessary licenses, qualifications and approvals, then Eldorado (or the applicable Eldorado Related Party) shall be free to consummate the Propco Opportunity Transaction without Propco’s (or its Affiliates’) involvement (and Propco shall be deemed to have waived the Propco ROFR with respect to the applicable Propco Opportunity Transaction only). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event arbitration is commenced during the Licensing Period, the Licensing Period shall be tolled for the duration of such arbitration.

(i) Time of Essence. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH PROVISION HEREOF IN WHICH TIME OF PERFORMANCE IS ESTABLISHED.

(j) Further Assurances. The parties agree to promptly sign all documents reasonably requested to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement.

(k) Counterparts; Originals. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be a valid and binding original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile or digital copies of this Agreement, including the signature page hereof, shall be deemed originals for all purposes.

(l) Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect from and after the earliest of such time as (i) both of the Regional Lease and that certain Lease (CPLV), dated as of October 6, 2017 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, and which Lease was renamed, effective as of the date hereof, the “Las Vegas Lease”) shall have been terminated or have expired in accordance with the express terms thereof, (ii) Propco or any of its Affiliates shall have acquired the ROFR Property or (iii) Eldorado or any of its Affiliates shall have sold the ROFR Property to a third party in accordance with, and not in contravention of, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(m) Gaming Regulations; Licensing Events; Termination.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement and any agreement formed pursuant to the terms hereof are subject to all applicable Gaming Laws and all rights, remedies and powers under this Agreement and any agreement formed pursuant to the terms hereof may be exercised only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the requisite Gaming Authorities.

(ii) If there shall occur a Propco Licensing Event and any aspect of such Propco Licensing Event is attributable to a member of the Propco Subject Group, then Eldorado shall notify Propco as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such Propco Licensing Event (but in no event later than twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Propco Licensing Event). In such event, Propco shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the other members of the Propco Subject Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist

Eldorado and its Affiliates in resolving such Propco Licensing Event within the time period required by the applicable Gaming Authorities by submitting to investigation by the relevant Gaming Authorities and cooperating with any reasonable requests made by such Gaming Authorities (including filing requested forms and delivering information to the Gaming Authorities). If, despite these efforts, such Propco Licensing Event cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the applicable Gaming Authorities within the time period required by such Gaming Authorities, Eldorado shall have the right, at its election in its sole discretion, either to (A) terminate this Agreement or (B) cause this Agreement to temporarily cease to be in force or effect, until such time, if any, as the Propco Licensing Event is resolved to the satisfaction of the applicable Gaming Authorities and Eldorado in its sole discretion, upon no less than ninety (90) days’ written notice thereof to Propco following a Propco Licensing Event which is not cured within the period required by the applicable Gaming Authorities (or such lesser time as required by any applicable Gaming Authority).

(iii) If there shall occur a Eldorado Licensing Event and any aspect of such Eldorado Licensing Event is attributable to a member of the Eldorado Subject Group, then Propco shall notify Eldorado as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such Eldorado Licensing Event (but in no event later than twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Eldorado Licensing Event). In such event, Eldorado shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the other members of the Eldorado Subject Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Propco and its Affiliates in resolving such Eldorado Licensing Event within the time period required by the applicable Gaming Authorities by submitting to investigation by the relevant Gaming Authorities and cooperating with any reasonable requests made by such Gaming Authorities (including filing requested forms and delivering information to the Gaming Authorities). If, despite these efforts, such Eldorado Licensing Event cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the applicable Gaming Authorities within the time period required by such Gaming Authorities, Propco shall have the right, at its election in its sole discretion, either to (A) terminate this Agreement or (B) cause this Agreement to temporarily cease to be in force or effect, until such time, if any, as the Eldorado Licensing Event is resolved to the satisfaction of the applicable Gaming Authorities and Propco in its sole discretion, upon no less than ninety (90) days’ written notice thereof to Eldorado following a Eldorado Licensing Event which is not cured within the period required by the applicable Gaming Authorities (or such lesser time as required by any applicable Gaming Authority).

(n) Certain Covenants. Eldorado will use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all actions necessary (including without limitation good faith commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain the consents or approvals of any partners in CRBH and CBAC and (ii) effectuate any amendments to the Horseshoe Baltimore Operating Agreements necessary, if any) to give effect to this Agreement and the purpose and intent hereof.

(o) Guaranty. In the event Eldorado and/or its Affiliates and Propco and/or its Affiliates enter into a stand-alone lease pursuant to this Agreement, Eldorado will guaranty the performance of the lessee under such lease to the same extent as it guarantees the performance of the applicable lessees under the Regional Lease, such guaranty to be substantially similar in form and substance as the form of Eldorado guaranty entered into with respect to the Regional Lease with such other changes as may be mutually agreed between Propco and Eldorado acting in good faith in a commercially reasonable manner.

(p) Remedies. Each party hereto expressly acknowledges and agrees that it would be difficult to measure the damages that might result from any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement, that any actual or threatened breach by such party of any of the provisions of this Agreement might result in immediate, irreparable and continuing injury to the other party hereto and that a remedy at law for any such actual or threatened breach by any such party of the provisions of this Agreement might be inadequate. Each party hereto therefore agrees that the other party shall be entitled, without the posting of a bond, to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief or other equitable relief, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, in the case of any such actual or threatened breach by such party.

(q) REIT Protection. This Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the continued qualification of VICI Properties Inc., a Maryland corporation (“VICI REIT”) as a “real estate investment trust” under Section 856(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any similar or successor provisions thereto (a “REIT”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, VICI REIT shall not be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action that would, in either case, reasonably be expected to cause VICI REIT to fail to qualify as a REIT.

(r) Opco/Propco Transaction. In the event that Eldorado or the Eldorado Related Parties desire to sell the ROFR Property together with the operating and other assets related thereto, in an opco/propco structure or in a situation in which parties may bid or otherwise participate in an opco/propco structure, in each case, that constitutes a Propco Opportunity Transaction (an “Opco/Propco Transaction”), the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the proposed Opco/Propco Transaction except as follows: (i) the Propco Election Period shall be extended from thirty (30) to forty-five (45) days (or from twenty (20) to thirty (30) days, in the case of Alternative Propco ROFR Terms as provided for in Section 2(d)), in order to permit Propco and its Affiliates to find an operator with which to exercise the Propco ROFR, (ii) the Propco ROFR Discussion Period shall be extended to one hundred twenty (120) days and the Licensing Period shall be extended to two hundred seventy (270) days with respect to the Opco/Propco Transaction; (iii) the Eldorado Marketing and Negotiation Period shall be extended to one hundred fifty (150) days and the Eldorado Closing Period shall be extended to two hundred seventy (270) days with respect to the Opco/Propco Transaction, (iv) prior to its exercise of the Propco ROFR, Propco may designate one or more bona fide operators to receive Financial Information and the proposed purchase price for the ROFR Property from Eldorado regarding the ROFR Property (but not any other information regarding the ROFR Property, and subject to execution by such operators of a customary non-disclosure agreement with Eldorado), (v) upon its exercise of the Propco ROFR, Propco may select one of the foregoing operators with which to pursue the exercise of the Propco ROFR and Propco shall thereafter be permitted to share customary due diligence information with respect to the ROFR Property with such designated operator pursuant to the terms of the aforementioned non-disclosure agreement, (vi) the terms of this Agreement that are specific to a sale leaseback structure involving Eldorado, including the Regional Lease Amendment and the guaranty by Eldorado of the performance thereunder, shall not apply, (vii) the parties will work in good faith to resolve any issues related to the implementation of this ROFR with respect to an Opco/Propco Transaction that are not specifically addressed herein, and (viii) to the extent, after the exercise of such good faith efforts, the parties cannot so agree, any matters remaining unresolved at the end of the Propco Election Period or the Propco ROFR Discussion Period, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
