Witnesseth:
Whereas, the parties hereto wish to amend the Operative Documents to change the
definition of “Consolidated EBITDAR” and add additional definitions relating to Guarantor’s

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Amendments to Operative Documents. (a) From and after the Amendment Effective
Date, the definition of “Consolidated EBITDAR” contained in Appendix A to the Participation
Agreement shall be and is hereby amended in its entirety and restated as follows:
“Consolidated EBITDA” means, with respect to the Guarantor, the sum of the following,
which shall be calculated for any Fiscal Quarter on the last day of such Fiscal Quarter on a
rolling four quarter basis: (i) the Guarantor’s and its Subsidiaries’ consolidated Net
Income before any extraordinary items and deduction of interest expenses and income taxes,
plus (ii) depreciation and amortization expenses of the Guarantor and its
Subsidiaries accruing during such period, plus (iii) the aggregate amount of all
“rentals” or interest paid during such period by the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries under
any “synthetic lease”, plus (iv) any capitalized interest, plus (or minus as
appropriate) (v) all pre-tax pro forma adjustments included or excluded from the non-GAAP
results in the Guarantor’s Form 8-K relating to earnings release for such Fiscal Quarter
filed with the SEC. With respect to the Fiscal Quarter in which the Guarantor or any
Subsidiary makes the Acquisition (and subsequent Fiscal Quarters), “Consolidated EBITDA”
shall be calculated as of the last day of such Fiscal Quarter (and thereafter) as if the
Acquisition had occurred on the first day of the rolling four quarter period including and
ending with such Fiscal Quarter. Further, with respect to inclusion of the
Fifth Omnibus Amendment
Target’s “Consolidated EBITDA” in Guarantor’s “Consolidated EBITDA” (to the extent that the first and last day of each of Guarantor’s and Target’s most recent Fiscal
Quarters are not respectively the same dates), Guarantor’s “Consolidated EBITDA” shall be
calculated using the Target’s most recent financial data provided at the end of the Target’s
Fiscal Quarter immediately preceding the relevant Fiscal Quarter of the Guarantor.
(b) From and after the Amendment Effective Date, the following definitions are hereby added
(in proper alphabetical order) to Appendix A to the Participation Agreement:

appears in the Operative Documents is hereby deleted and the phrase “Consolidated EBITDA” inserted
in lieu thereof.
Section 2. Representations and Warranties. The Lessee and the Guarantor each hereby
represents and warrants to the Agent, the Purchasers and the Lessor that, as of the date hereof,
(a) no Lease Default or Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) the
modifications to the Participation Agreement contemplated by this Amendment and the other Operative
Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (i) are
within its respective corporate authority and legal right, (ii) have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate proceedings, (iii) do not conflict with or result in any breach or
contravention of any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation to which it is subject or any
judgment, order, writ, injunction, license or permit applicable to it which could have a Material
Adverse Effect, (iv) do not conflict with any provision of its corporate charter or bylaws of, or
any agreement or other instrument binding upon it, (v) do not require any consent, approval or
authorization of any Governmental Authority or any other Person not a party hereto and (vi) do not
