This INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 15, 2018, by and among ELGIN RIVERBOAT RESORT – RIVERBOAT CASINO d/b/a GRAND VICTORIA CASINO, an Illinois partnership (the “Company”), MGM ELGIN SUB, INC., a Nevada corporation (“MGM Elgin”), ILLINOIS RBG, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“RBG” and, together with MGM Elgin, the “Sellers”), MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL, a Delaware corporation (“MGM” and, together with the Sellers, the “Seller Parties”), ELDORADO RESORTS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Buyer”), ELGIN HOLDINGS I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Elgin Holdings I”), and ELGIN HOLDINGS II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Elgin Holdings II” and, together with Elgin Holdings I, the “Buyer Purchasing Subsidiaries”). The Buyer and the Buyer Purchasing Subsidiaries are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Buyer Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Parties”. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Section 9.1 hereof.

WHEREAS, each Seller owns, beneficially and of record one half of the outstanding partnership interests of the Company, collectively constituting 100% of the outstanding partnership interests of the Company (such ownership interests, the “Purchased Interests”);

WHEREAS, the Company owns and operates the Grand Victoria Casino Elgin and related improvements thereon, as more fully described on Schedule I hereto (the “Property”); and

WHEREAS, the Buyer desires to purchase from the Sellers, and the Sellers desire to sell to Buyer, all of the Purchased Interests, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein.

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

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE OF PURCHASED INTERESTS

Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale of Purchased Interests. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Buyer shall cause the Buyer Purchasing Subsidiaries to purchase the Purchased Interests from the Sellers in such proportions as shall be designated in writing by the Buyer, and each Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to such Buyer Purchasing Subsidiaries the Purchased Interests owned by such Seller. The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Interests (the “Purchase Price”), shall be an amount equal to (a) three hundred twenty seven million five hundred thousand Dollars ($327,500,000), plus (b) the Cash Amount, plus (c) the amount (if any) by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, plus (d) the Deferred Compensation Asset, minus (e) the amount (if any) by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital, minus (f) an amount equal to 50% of the R&W Insurance Policy Premium, minus (g) the Indebtedness Amount, minus (h) the Accrued Donation Amount, minus (i) the Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount, minus (j) the Deferred Compensation Liability. Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) the Purchase Price and the other payments contemplated hereby as provided in Section 1.5 and subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.6.

Section 1.2 Deposit. No later than one (1) Business Day following the date hereof, the Buyer shall deposit fifteen million Dollars ($15,000,000) (such amount, the “Deposit”) with Citibank, National Association (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to an escrow agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Deposit Escrow Agreement”) executed and delivered by the Sellers, the Buyer and the Escrow Agent. Upon the Closing, (i) the Escrow Agent shall release an amount equal to one-half of the Deposit to each Seller, and such aggregate amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price payable to the Sellers, and (ii) the Escrow Agent shall release the interest accrued on the Deposit, if any, to the Buyer. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Deposit and the interest accrued thereon (if any) shall be payable pursuant to Section 7.2(b) hereof, and thereafter shall be promptly released by the Escrow Agent to the Buyer or the Sellers, as applicable, pursuant to such Section 7.2(b) hereof and the terms of the Deposit Escrow Agreement.

Section 1.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price (as determined for federal income tax purposes, including any liabilities of the Company that are required to be treated as part of the Purchase Price for federal income tax purposes) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company in accordance with Sections 1060 and 755 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law). The Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers within sixty (60) Business Days after the Closing Date a purchase price allocation (the “Proposed Allocation”). The Buyer shall promptly provide to the Sellers such backup or supporting data (including appraisals to the extent available) relating to the preparation of the Proposed Allocation as the Sellers may reasonably request. The Sellers shall accept and agree to the Proposed Allocation unless any one or more of the Sellers, acting in good faith, object to the Proposed Allocation, in which case such Seller or Sellers (as the case may be) shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Proposed Allocation and requested supporting documentation, deliver written notice to the Buyer of such objection. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the items in the Proposed Allocation to which the Seller or Sellers object and the basis for such objection. Following delivery of such notice, the Sellers and the Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to reach a mutually acceptable agreement regarding such disputed items. In the event that the parties cannot mutually agree upon a resolution with respect to such disputed items within thirty (30) Business Days of the Buyer’s receipt of such notice, then each Seller and the Buyer shall each be entitled to determine the allocation of the Purchase Price among the assets of the Company in any manner each Seller or the Buyer, respectively, may determine in its sole discretion, and each Seller and the Buyer shall have no liability to the other with respect to such determination or allocation. In the event that the parties mutually agree upon a Proposed Allocation, the Buyer Parties and the Sellers agree to (a) be bound by the purchase price allocation established in accordance with this Section 1.3 (the “Purchase Price Allocation”), (b) act in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation in the filing of all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax examination or Tax litigation relating thereto, and (c) take no position and cause their Affiliates to take no position inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation for Tax purposes, in the case of each of clauses (a) through (c) unless otherwise required by a change in applicable Law or pursuant to the good faith resolution of a Tax contest. The Sellers and the Buyer shall make appropriate adjustments to the Purchase Price Allocation to reflect any adjustments to the Purchase Price.

Section 1.4 Time and Place of Closing. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Article VII hereof, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the purchase and sale of the Purchased Interests (the “Closing”), shall take place no later than 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on the fifth (5th) Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof (other than those conditions intended to be satisfied or waived at the Closing), at the offices of Milbank, Tweed, Xxxxxx & XxXxxx LLP, Los Angeles, California, unless another time or place shall be agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Date”).

Section 1.6 Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Not more than seven (7) Business Days nor less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) showing the Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Estimated Cash Amount, Estimated Closing Working Capital, Estimated Deferred Compensation Asset, Estimated Indebtedness Amount, Estimated Accrued Donation Amount, Estimated Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount and Estimated Deferred Compensation Liability, including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and reasonable back-up documentation regarding the calculation of Estimated Cash Amount, Estimated Closing Working Capital, Estimated Deferred Compensation Asset, Estimated Indebtedness Amount, Estimated Accrued Donation Amount, Estimated Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount and Estimated Deferred Compensation Liability, and based on such calculations, the Sellers’ calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price. The Buyer and its Representatives will be entitled to reasonable access during normal business hours to the relevant records, personnel and working papers of the Company to aid in its review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Cash Amount, Estimated Closing Working Capital, Estimated Deferred Compensation Asset, Estimated Indebtedness Amount, Estimated Accrued Donation Amount, Estimated Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount, Estimated Deferred Compensation Liability and Estimated Purchase Price. The Sellers and the Buyer shall work together in good faith to agree on the Estimated Purchase Price prior to the Closing; provided, however, that the failure to agree on such amount shall not delay or otherwise prevent the Closing and, to the extent of any remaining dispute, the Sellers’ calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price shall prevail.

(b) At the Transfer Time, the Buyer shall conduct (or cause to be conducted) a cash count and the drop for one hundred percent (100%) of the Company’s gaming device “drop boxes” as well as a count of the Company’s liability for all outstanding chips, tokens, tickets and similar cash equivalents (“Company Chips”). A Representative of Sellers may be present to observe such cash count, drop box count, and Company Chips liability count if it so elects. Such cash count, drop box count, and Company Chips count shall be conclusive and binding upon the Sellers and the Buyer, absent manifest error, and shall be used in the preparation of Closing Working Capital that is contained in the Post-Closing Statement (it being understood that the aggregate value of all outstanding Company Chips will constitute a current liability of the Company in connection with the calculation of Closing Working Capital). Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall provide Sellers a list of all outstanding Company Chips in sufficient detail for Sellers to determine the type, number, and denomination of the Company Chips.

(c) No more than one hundred (100) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer will prepare (or cause to be prepared) and deliver to the Sellers a statement showing the Buyer’s calculation of the Cash Amount, Closing Working Capital, Deferred Compensation Asset, the Indebtedness Amount, the Accrued Donation Amount, the Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount and Deferred Compensation Liability, including the calculation thereof in reasonable detail calculated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and based on such calculations, the Buyer’s calculation of the Purchase Price (the “Post-Closing Statement”). The Buyer shall promptly provide to the Sellers such backup or supporting data relating to the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Cash Amount, Closing Working Capital, Deferred Compensation Asset, the Indebtedness Amount, the Accrued Donation Amount, the Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount, Deferred Compensation Liability and the Purchase Price reflected thereon as the Sellers may reasonably request. The Buyer shall also provide the Sellers and their respective Representatives with such reasonable access to the books, records and personnel of the Company, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, as the Sellers may request for the purposes of evaluating the Post-Closing Statement and the Buyer’s calculation of the Cash Amount, Closing Working Capital, Deferred Compensation Asset, the Indebtedness Amount, the Accrued Donation Amount, the Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount, Deferred Compensation Liability and the Purchase Price.

(d) The Sellers shall, within the thirty (30) day period following receipt of such Post-Closing Statement (the “Acceptance Period”), notify the Buyer of their acceptance or non-acceptance (as the case may be) of the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Cash Amount, Closing Working Capital, Deferred Compensation Asset, the Indebtedness Amount, the Accrued Donation Amount, the Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount, Deferred Compensation Liability and the Purchase Price reflected thereon. If no such notice is delivered to the Buyer by the Sellers within the Acceptance Period, the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Cash Amount, Closing Working Capital, Deferred Compensation Asset, the Indebtedness Amount, the Accrued Donation Amount, the Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount, Deferred Compensation Liability and the Purchase Price reflected thereon shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Sellers and shall be binding on all parties for all purposes of this Agreement. If the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Cash Amount, Closing Working Capital, Deferred Compensation Asset, the Indebtedness Amount, the Accrued Donation Amount, the Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount, Deferred Compensation Liability and the Purchase Price reflected thereon are accepted or deemed to have been accepted by the Sellers, then payment of any related amounts,

as contemplated by this Section 1.6(d), shall be made pursuant to Section 1.6(f). If the Sellers give notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to the Buyer within the Acceptance Period that the Sellers do not agree with or otherwise do not accept the calculation of the Cash Amount, Closing Working Capital, Deferred Compensation Asset, the Indebtedness Amount, the Accrued Donation Amount, the Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount, Deferred Compensation Liability and the Purchase Price reflected on the Post-Closing Statement, the Sellers shall describe in such Dispute Notice the nature of any disagreement so asserted. The Buyer and the Sellers shall endeavor in good faith to resolve all such disagreements within the thirty (30) day period (the “Negotiating Period”) following the delivery by the Sellers of such Dispute Notice.

(e) If the parties are able to resolve all disputed amounts, the Post-Closing Statement, as modified to reflect such resolution, shall be the final Post-Closing Statement and shall be binding on all parties for all purposes of this Agreement. If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to resolve any disagreements regarding the Post-Closing Statement and the calculations reflected thereon within the Negotiating Period, then within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Negotiating Period all such disputes shall be referred to KPMG US LLP or, if such firm declines to serve, then such other nationally recognized independent accounting firm as is mutually acceptable to the Buyer and the Sellers (the “Neutral Accounting Firm”). The Neutral Accounting Firm shall be instructed only to resolve all outstanding disagreements relating to the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Cash Amount, Closing Working Capital, Deferred Compensation Asset, the Indebtedness Amount, the Accrued Donation Amount, the Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount, Deferred Compensation Liability and the Purchase Price reflected thereon, and shall be instructed not to otherwise investigate such matters independently or introduce different judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies in connection therewith. If the Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree upon an accounting firm to serve as the Neutral Accounting Firm within such 15-day period, then the Neutral Accounting Firm shall be an accountant employed by an accounting firm of national standing designated by the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York (which shall not be the independent auditor of either Buyer or Sellers or their respective Affiliates). The Neutral Accounting Firm shall consider only those amounts that the Sellers and Buyer have been unable to resolve. Each of the Sellers and Buyer shall execute and deliver a customary engagement letter as may be reasonably requested by the Neutral Accounting Firm. The Sellers and Buyer shall instruct the Neutral Accounting Firm that, within five (5) Business Days following its acceptance of its appointment as the Neutral Accounting Firm, it shall deliver to the Sellers and Buyer a written notice (the “Accountant Notice”) setting forth (i) the deadline for Sellers’ and Buyer’s submission of the written presentations setting forth their respective positions with respect to the disputed amounts (which deadline shall in all events be (A) the same for the Sellers and Buyer and (B) no sooner than thirty (30) days following the date of delivery of the Accountant Notice (unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing among the Neutral Accounting Firm, the Sellers and Buyer) and no later than forty-five (45) days following the date of the Accountant Notice) and (ii) the format in which the Sellers and Buyer are to submit their written presentations (which format shall be reasonably acceptable to the Sellers and Buyer). A copy of all materials submitted to the Neutral Accounting Firm pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be provided by the Sellers and Buyer, as applicable, no later than the deadline set forth in the Accountant Notice (as the same may be amended by the mutual written consent of the Neutral Accounting Firm, the Sellers and Buyer), and a copy of such materials shall be provided to the other party hereto concurrently with the submission thereof to the Neutral Accounting Firm.

The Sellers and Buyer shall instruct the Neutral Accounting Firm to promptly, but no later than sixty (60) days after its appointment, determine (based solely on the written presentations of the Sellers and Buyer timely delivered to the Neutral Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section 1.6(e) and in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement and not by independent review) only those matters in dispute and to render a written report as to the calculations of the disputed amounts, which report, absent manifest error, shall thereupon be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto for all purposes hereunder. The Neutral Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any disputed amount greater than the greatest value for such disputed amount claimed by Buyer or the Sellers or less than the smallest value for such disputed amount claimed by Buyer or the Sellers. Upon the decision of the Neutral Accounting Firm, the Post-Closing Statement, as adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect the Neutral Accounting Firm’s decision, shall be the final Post-Closing Statement. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Neutral Accounting Firm shall be borne by Sellers and Buyer based on the inverse of the percentage that the Neutral Accounting Firm’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Neutral Accounting Firm. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Neutral Accounting Firm award $600 in favor of the Sellers’ position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Buyer and 40% of the costs would be borne by the Sellers.

(f) Promptly following the final resolution of all disputes, if any, relating to the Post-Closing Statement calculations and amounts reflected thereon in accordance with this Section 1.6, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter, (A) Buyer shall pay (or cause the Buyer Purchasing Subsidiaries to pay) to each Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated by the Sellers to the Buyer in writing, an amount equal to one-half of the amount (if any) by which the Retention Bonus Amount exceeds the Retention Bonus Payments as of such time and (B) (i) if the finally determined Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price (such amount, the “Actual Surplus”), then the Buyer shall pay (or cause the Buyer Purchasing Subsidiaries to pay) to each Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated by the Sellers to the Buyer in writing, an amount equal to one-half of such Actual Surplus, or (ii) if the finally determined Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price (such amount, the “Actual Deficiency”), then each Seller shall severally pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the product of (i) such Actual Deficiency and (ii) 0.5 by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated by Buyer to the Sellers in writing; provided, that with respect to the amount of Actual Deficiency to be paid to Buyer by RBG, unless RBG elects to pay such amount owed as contemplated above, RBG and Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction instructing the Escrow Agent to release such amounts owed from the RBG Escrow Fund.

Section 1.7 Withholding. The Buyer Parties and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts payable under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under the Code and any other applicable Tax Laws; provided, that Buyer Parties or the Company, as applicable, shall provide written notice of any intent to so deduct and withhold any amount to each Seller with respect to which such deduction or withholding may be made at least five (5) Business Days prior to making such deduction or withholding (unless such requirement to deduct or withhold any amount is pursuant to a change in Law or fact that occurs within five (5) Business Days of the applicable payment, in which case the

Buyer Parties or the Company, as applicable, shall use reasonable best efforts to provide written notice of any intent to so deduct and withhold any amount to each Seller with respect to which such deduction or withholding may be made prior to the time of such payment) and shall work with the applicable Seller(s) to reduce or eliminate such requirement to deduct and withhold such amount. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Buyer Parties or the Company, such deducted and withheld amounts (a) shall be remitted by the Buyer Parties or the Company to the applicable Governmental Entity within the time and in the manner required by applicable Law and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

ARTICLE II

Such cooperation shall include providing the partnership representative with a copy of any notice or other documentation relating to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to income Taxes for any taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided pursuant hereto.

(b) In the event that, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or the Closing, (i) there is any damage, destruction or other casualty affecting the Property, or any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding is completed with respect to the Property, and (ii) Sellers receive any

Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds, then (A) if Sellers receive the Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or the Closing, Sellers shall contribute such proceeds (net of legal expenses reasonably incurred in connection with pursuing the proceeds or award) to the Company prior to the Closing, and (B) if Sellers receive the Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds after the Closing, Sellers shall promptly deliver such proceeds (net of legal expenses reasonably incurred in connection with pursuing the proceeds or award) to the Company.

(c) With respect to any insurance claims for events described in this Section 5.15, the Buyer shall have the right to participate in any settlements and related discussions with the applicable insurance company, and Sellers shall take into consideration the Buyer’s requests with respect thereto as part of its negotiations with the applicable insurance company. In addition, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Sellers shall not agree to any settlement or other resolution of any open insurance claim that would reasonably be expected to result in Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds exceeding $100,000 individually.

Section 5.16 R&W Insurance Policy. The Buyer Parties shall use (a) reasonable best efforts to cause the R&W Insurance Policy to be issued promptly after the Closing (in accordance with the terms of the R&W Binder thereof), including paying when due all premiums, fees, costs and taxes payable thereunder and satisfying on a timely basis all conditions necessary for the issuance of coverage under the R&W Binder and R&W Insurance Policy (as applicable) and (b) commercially reasonably efforts to cause the R&W Insurance Policy to remain in full force and effect following the issuance thereof, including paying when due all premiums, fees, costs and taxes payable thereunder and satisfying on a timely basis all conditions necessary for the continuance of coverage under the R&W Insurance Policy.

Prior to the Closing, the Sellers hereby agree to cooperate with the Buyer Parties by exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the Buyer Parties may reasonably request related to obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy and the issuance thereof, including providing such diligence information as shall be requested by the Buyer Parties in connection therewith, and making personnel of the Company reasonably available to participate in diligence calls.

Section 5.17 Donation Agreements. The Buyer Parties agree and acknowledge that the Purchase Price was based on the results of operations of the Company after taking into account the historical, current and future payment obligations of the Company under each of the Donation Agreements. The Buyer Parties shall, and shall cause the Company and the GV Foundation (as applicable) to, maintain the Donation Agreements in full force and effect for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing, unless prohibited by the Illinois Gaming Board or otherwise instructed or ordered by the Illinois Gaming Board from time to time, including: (a) complying in all material respects with the Donation Agreements; (b) paying when due all amounts payable thereunder, in each case, consistent with the past practice of the Company as of the date of this Agreement; (c) maintaining the valid existence of the GV Foundation in good standing under the Laws of the State of Illinois; and (d) refraining from transferring or assigning the GV Foundation’s rights to receive Contributions (as defined in the GV Foundation Agreement) to which it is entitled

under the GV Foundation Agreement, and, none of the Buyer Parties shall (and the Buyer Parties shall cause the Company and the GV Foundation not to) amend, modify or terminate any of the Donation Agreements or waive any material rights thereunder (or seek any approvals, authorizations, waivers, exemptions or the like from any Governmental Entity (including a Gaming Authority) for any such amendment, modification, termination or waiver). The Buyer Parties acknowledge that the Sellers have relied on the covenants and agreement provided in this Section 5.17 in connection with entering into this Agreement and that this Section 5.17 is intended for the benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, each of MGM and each of the members of RBG as of the date hereof to enforce this Section 5.17; provided, however, solely as to the members of RBG, this Section 5.17 may be enforced only by one or more members (on behalf of all members) collectively holding more than 30% of the percentage interests of RBG as of the date hereof.

Section 5.18 Litigation Proceeds. In the event any amounts are received by the Company or any Buyer Party (on behalf of the Company) pursuant to the action set forth on Section 5.18 of the Disclosure Schedules, the Buyer Parties shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) the proceeds therefrom (less any costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer Parties or the Company, if any, on behalf of Sellers to recover or deliver such amounts) to Sellers in accordance with each Seller’s Pro Rata Share, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to such account(s) as Sellers shall designate.

None of the Buyer Parties may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 6.1 or 6.2 to be satisfied if such failure was caused by the failure of any Buyer Party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, to act in good faith or to use its commercially reasonable efforts or reasonable best efforts (as the case may be) to consummate the Closing.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

Section 7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (with respect to Sections 7.1(b) through (f) hereof, by written notice by the terminating party to the other parties specifying with particularity the reason for such termination):

(a) by mutual agreement of the Sellers and the Buyer;

(b) by the Sellers or the Buyer, if the transactions contemplated hereby shall not have been consummated on or prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been the primary cause of, materially contributed to or has resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement; provided further that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party following the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof (other than those conditions intended to be satisfied or waived at the Closing);

(c) by the Buyer or the Sellers, if any Gaming Authority has made a final determination that such Gaming Authority will not issue to the Buyer all Gaming Approvals which are necessary to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6.1(c) or the Buyer Parties withdraw the applicable application in response to a communication from a Gaming Authority regarding a likely or impending denial of Gaming Approvals; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(c) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been the primary cause of, materially contributed to, or has resulted in, the determination of the applicable Gaming Authority to deny the request to issue the Buyer the required Gaming Approvals or to request that the Buyer Parties withdraw the necessary applications (it being understood that, for purposes of this Section 7.1(c), any action, failure to act, or breach by any of the Buyer Purchasing Subsidiaries will be deemed an action, failure to act or breach by Buyer);

(d) by the Sellers or the Buyer, if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity shall have issued a final nonappealable order, decree or ruling or taken any other final nonappealable action (other than any determination by or decision of a Gaming Authority to not grant a Gaming Approval, which event shall be governed by the provisions of Section 7.1(c)), in each case, which would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.1(a); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(d) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, such order, decree, ruling or final action, and such party’s action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement (it being understood that, for purposes of this Section 7.1(d), any action, failure to act, or breach by any of the Buyer Purchasing Subsidiaries will be deemed an action, failure to act or breach by Buyer);

(e) by the Buyer, if the Sellers or the Company have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Sellers or the Company set forth in this Agreement that (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) hereof and (ii) (A) by its nature or timing cannot be cured by the Outside Date or (B) if capable of being cured, is not cured within the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days after written notice thereof and the Outside Date; provided, however, that if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) calendar day period but can be reasonably cured prior to the Outside Date, and Sellers (or the applicable Seller) or the Company are diligently proceeding to cure such breach, this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1(e); and

(f) by the Sellers, if any Buyer Party has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of such Buyer Party set forth in this Agreement that (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b) hereof and (ii) (A) by its nature or timing cannot be cured by the Outside Date or (B) if capable of being cured, is not cured within the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days after written notice thereof and the Outside Date; provided, however, that if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) calendar day period but can be reasonably cured prior to the Outside Date, and the Buyer Parties (or the applicable Buyer Party) are diligently proceeding to cure such breach, this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1(f).

Section 7.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) Liability. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1 hereof, this Agreement shall immediately become void and there shall be no Liability on the part of the Buyer Parties or the Sellers, or their respective Affiliates or Representatives; provided, however, that (i) no such termination shall relieve or release any party from any liability or damages arising from common law fraud in the making of the representations and warranties of set forth in Article II and Article III, or Article IV of this Agreement (as applicable) or a Willful Breach of any provision of this Agreement prior to such termination, in which case the aggrieved party will be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 7.2, Section 5.4(a) and (b), the penultimate sentence of Section 5.12 and Article IX hereof, shall survive such termination.

(b) Application of the Deposit.

(i) Upon the termination of this Agreement (i) by the Buyer or the Sellers pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or (ii) by the Buyer or the Sellers pursuant to Section 7.1(c), the Deposit, together with interest earned thereon, shall be paid to the Sellers. The payment to Sellers of the Deposit pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) shall constitute liquidated damages, in full settlement of any damages of any kind or nature that the Sellers or the Company may suffer or allege to suffer as a result thereof, it being understood and agreed that the amount of liquidated damages represents the parties’ reasonable estimate of actual damages and does not constitute a penalty, and the Sellers and the Company shall be precluded from exercising any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, applicable Law or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.2(b)(i) shall affect any Buyer Party’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 5.12, and Sellers’ and the Company’s rights to be indemnified or reimbursed in accordance therewith.

(ii) Upon the termination of this Agreement other than as described in clause (i) above, the Deposit, together with any interest earned thereon, shall be paid to the Buyer.

(iii) Except as expressly set forth in Section 7.2(b)(i), the rights of termination under Section 7.1 are in addition to any other rights Sellers may have under this Agreement or at law or in equity (including, without limitation, specific performance), and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies.

ARTICLE VIII

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.

(a) Except as set forth in Article VII and Section 8.1(b) hereof, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of each party hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any other party hereto, any Person controlling any such party or any of their Representatives whether prior to or after the execution of this Agreement. Solely for the purposes of this Article VIII, each party shall be deemed to have remade all of its representations and warranties contained in Article II, Article III and Article IV (as the case may be) at the Closing with the same effect as if originally made at the Closing.

(b) The representations and warranties made by the Sellers, the Company and the Buyer Parties in Article II and Article III, and Article IV or any certificate delivered pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement, respectively, shall survive the Closing until (and claims based upon or arising out of a breach of such representations and warranties may be asserted at any time before) twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, provided, however, that the representations made in Sections 2.1 (Organization), 2.2(a) (Authority; No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents), 2.3 (Capitalization), 2.23 (Brokers), 3.1 (Organization), 3.2(a) (Authority; No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents), 3.3 (Title), 3.4 (Brokers) (the foregoing collectively, the “Seller Fundamental Representations”), 4.1 (Organization), 4.2 (Authority; No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents), 4.3 (Brokers), 4.8 (No Implied Representations), 4.9 (No Distribution), 4.10 (Accredited Investor), and 4.11 (R&W Insurance Policy) shall survive until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, and the representations and warranties in Section 2.15 (to the extent related to ERISA or the Code, or plans subject to ERISA) shall survive until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the statute of limitations (taking into account any extensions or waivers thereof) applicable to the collection of the applicable Tax that is the subject of such representations. The period of time a representation or warranty survives the Closing pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be the “Survival Period” with respect to such representation or warranty. The parties intend for the preceding two sentences to alter the otherwise applicable statute of limitations and agree that, subject to the last sentence of this Section 8.1(b), no claim may be brought based upon, directly or indirectly, any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement after the Survival Period with respect to such representation or warranty. The covenants and agreements of the parties hereto in this Agreement to be performed prior to or at the Closing shall terminate at Closing. The covenants and agreements of the parties hereto in this Agreement to be performed

following the Closing shall survive the Closing without any contractual limitation on the period of survival (other than those covenants and agreements that are expressly required to remain in full force and effect for a specified period of time). The termination of the representations and warranties provided herein shall not affect a party (i) in respect of any claim made by such party in reasonable detail in writing received by an Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period provided herein, or (ii) in respect of any claim grounded in common law fraud in the making of the representations and warranties of the Indemnifying Party set forth in Article II and Article III, or Article IV of this Agreement (as applicable).

Section 8.2 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, each Seller shall, severally and not jointly and severally in accordance with such Seller’s applicable Pro Rata Share, indemnify, save and hold harmless the Buyer, the Buyer Purchasing Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates and Representatives, successors and assigns (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs, losses, Taxes, Liabilities, obligations, damages, claims, demands and expenses (whether or not arising out of third-party claims), including interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (herein, “Damages”), incurred in connection with, arising out of, or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by such Seller or the Company in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Sections 6.2(a), (b) or (c) hereof;

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made, or to be performed, by such Seller or the Company in this Agreement following the Closing; and

(iii) all income Taxes imposed on or payable by the Company (or any predecessor thereof) (A) for or attributable to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date and (B) for or attributable to the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (and any allocation of income Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a closing of the books and records of the Company as of the end of the Closing Date); provided, that to the extent the facts and circumstances giving rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant this Section 8.2(a)(iii) would also give rise to a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy, the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party shall also make a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy as contemplated by Section 8.5(g) below.

(b) From and after the Closing, the Buyer shall indemnify, save and hold harmless Sellers and their respective Affiliates and Representatives, successors and assigns (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages incurred in connection with, arising out of, or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by any Buyer Party in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or (b) hereof; and

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made, or to be performed, by any Buyer Party in this Agreement following the Closing.

(c) Interpretation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the term Damages shall not include any exemplary or punitive or similar damages, except where such damages are recovered from an Indemnified Party by a third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained in the foregoing sentence shall limit, alter, or waive in any manner or respect any defenses available to any Person or any burdens of proof or legal standards required to be met by any Person under applicable Law. For purposes of determining (i) whether a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty has occurred and (ii) the dollar amount of Damages with respect to any claim resulting from any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, all “material”, “materiality”, “in all material respects”, or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications or exceptions in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the representations and warranties contained in the second sentence of Section 2.4 (Financial Statements), Section 2.8 (Agreements, Contracts and Commitments) and Section 2.12 (No Undisclosed Liabilities) and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not apply to, or otherwise affect, the definitions of “Material Contracts” and “Material Adverse Effect”.

Section 8.3 Procedure for Claims between Parties. If a claim for Damages is to be made by a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) entitled to indemnification hereunder, such party shall give written notice describing the claim in reasonable detail and, to the extent then ascertainable, the monetary damages sought (each, a “Notice”) to the indemnifying party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) as soon as reasonably practicable after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Article VIII. Any failure to submit any such Notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any Liability hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

Section 8.4 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a) If any lawsuit, action, proceeding, investigation, claim or enforcement action is initiated against an Indemnified Party by any third party (each, a “Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification under this Article VIII may be sought, Notice thereof, together with copies of all notices and communication relating to such Third Party Claim, shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as reasonably practicable. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely Notice hereunder shall not affect rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) If it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to:

(i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense if the Indemnifying Party so notifies the Indemnified Party in writing;

(ii) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (provided that such attorneys are reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) to handle and defend the same, unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both one or more Indemnifying Parties and an Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses or defense strategies available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to an applicable Indemnifying Party or that there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest, in which event such Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Parties’ reasonable cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel (provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party); and

(iii) compromise or settle such Third Party Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made (x) with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (y) if such compromise or settlement contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, without any cost, liability or admission of wrongdoing of any nature whatsoever to or by such Indemnified Party, and provides only for monetary damages that will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the Notice, the Indemnified Party against which such Third Party Claim has been asserted will have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Parties’ reasonable cost, risk and expense (but only to the extent that it is finally determined that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII), the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Parties (but only to the extent that it is finally determined that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII); provided, however, that such Third Party Claim shall not be compromised or settled without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement.

(f) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim within sixty (60) days of the Notice of such Third Party Claim having been provided to the Indemnifying Party, the Damages arising from such Third Party Claim will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand following the final determination thereof.

Section 8.5 Limitations on Indemnity.

(a) No Buyer Indemnified Party shall seek, or be entitled to, indemnification from any of the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) hereof (other than with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of a Seller Fundamental Representation) except to the extent the aggregate claims for Damages of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) hereof exceed $1,637,500 (the “Deductible”), in which case the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover, subject to the other limitations in this Article VIII, only to the extent such Damages in the aggregate exceed the Deductible.

(b) Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied herein to the contrary, other than as specifically set forth in Section 8.5(i) or in the case of common law fraud by Sellers in the making of such representations and warranties contained in Article II and Article III, the Closing Escrow Funds shall be the sole and exclusive source for the satisfaction of any Damages indemnifiable by Sellers under and pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), and once such funds have been exhausted or released, (i) Sellers shall have no direct or indirect liability with respect to, and no obligation to satisfy, any claim by any Buyer Indemnified Party under Section 8.2(a)(i) and (ii) the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of any such Damages shall be limited to the R&W Insurance Policy. Sellers shall have no direct or indirect liability of any kind or nature with respect to the R&W Insurance Policy or any claim thereunder (including by way of subrogation) other than in the case of common law fraud by Sellers in the making of the representations and warranties contained in Article II and Article III.

(c) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover under Section 8.2 unless a claim has been asserted by written notice, specifying the details of the alleged breach with reasonable particularity, the sections of this Agreement alleged to have been breached, a good faith estimate of the Damages claimed, and all the relevant facts with respect thereto, delivered to the Sellers or the Buyer Parties (as the case may be) on or prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period (in which case the applicable survival period shall be deemed to extend until such claim has been finally resolved).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to the other limitations contained herein), (x) in no event shall any Seller’s aggregate liability for all indemnifiable claims for Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a) exceed the aggregate Purchase Price received by such Seller and (y) the limitations contained in this Article VIII shall not prevent the Buyer Indemnified Parties from filing a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy or otherwise apply to claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(e) No Seller shall be liable for Damages with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Article III to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to another Seller, nor shall any Seller have any liability for the failure of another Seller to perform any of the obligations, covenants or agreements to be performed or complied with by such other

Seller, it being agreed and understood that all of such representations, warranties, obligations, covenants and agreements are being made individually by each Seller, and not jointly and severally by all Sellers. The aggregate liability of any Seller for Damages with respect to any indemnification claim of the Buyer Indemnified Parties hereunder shall not exceed such Seller’s Individual Portion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Seller shall, subject to the other limitations set forth herein, be responsible for 100% of the Damages incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of a breach by such Seller of any of its representations and warranties set forth in Article III or the covenants of such Seller set forth herein, without regard to such Seller’s Individual Portion.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Seller shall be liable under this Article VIII for any Damages or alleged Damages to the extent such Damages or alleged Damages are taken into account in the calculation of the Cash Amount, Closing Working Capital, Deferred Compensation Asset, Indebtedness Amount, Accrued Donation Amount, Accrued Gaming Taxes Amount or Deferred Compensation Liability (including any component of any of the foregoing). Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied herein to the contrary, no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Taxes for any taxable period, or portion thereof, beginning after the Closing Date, except with respect to a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.5(c) or Section 2.5(g).

(g) In calculating the amount of any Damages payable to a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party hereunder, the amount of the Damages (i) shall not be duplicative of any other Damages for which an indemnification claim has been paid and (ii) shall be computed net of any amounts actually recovered by such Indemnified Party under any insurance policy (including the R&W Insurance Policy and the Title Policy) with respect to such Damages (net of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such insurance proceeds). Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover from any applicable insurance policy (including the R&W Insurance Policy and the Title Policy) in respect of any Damages that are the subject of indemnification under this Article VIII. If an Indemnified Party actually recovers an amount from an insurance policy in respect of Damages that are the subject of indemnification under this Article VIII after all or a portion of such Damages have been paid by or at the direction of the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by or at the direction of the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Damages, plus the amount received from the insurance policy in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of such Damages, plus the amount of any out-of-pocket costs, fees or expenses incurred to procure such proceeds and the amount of any increased insurance premiums, retentions or other out-of-pocket costs related to or arising therefrom.

(h) Nothing herein shall waive any party’s common law duty to mitigate any such claim or liability upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable under this Article VIII.

(i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of any Damages described in Section 8.2(a)(i) for a breach or inaccuracy of a Seller Fundamental Representation (“Specified Damages”), (1) the Buyer Parties agree to, and agree to cause each other Buyer Indemnified Party to, make a claim under the R&W Insurance Policy in respect of

such Specified Damages and use commercially reasonable efforts to recover such Specified Damages under the R&W Insurance Policy up to the Policy Limit and (2) to the extent that a Buyer Indemnified Party may not recover, or has not recovered, all of such Specified Damages pursuant to clause (1) above because such Specified Damages are subject to a retention (as may be eroded or dropped down from time to time) under the R&W Insurance Policy (the amount of such Specified Damages subject to such retention being the “Retention Amount”), are in excess of the Policy Limit (the amount by which such Specified Damages exceed the Policy Limit being the “Excess Amount”) or are otherwise not covered by, or recoverable under, the R&W Insurance Policy, the Sellers shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties (including, with respect to amounts attributable to RBG, by recovery from the RBG Escrow Fund) for such Specified Damages under Section 8.2(a)(i), but only to the extent of the Retention Amount or Excess Amount (as the case may be). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Damages from any Seller if such Damages would have been covered under the R&W Insurance Policy if not for a failure by a Buyer Indemnified Party to properly make a claim thereunder (or otherwise comply with the terms thereof). The parties agree and acknowledge that any other limitations contained in this Article VIII with respect to insurance policies and recovery thereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, the provisions of this Section 8.5(i).

Section 8.6 Payment of Damages. An Indemnified Party shall be paid in cash by an Indemnifying Party the amount to which such Indemnified Party may become entitled by reason of the provisions of this Article VIII, within ten (10) Business Days after such amount is determined either by mutual agreement of the Buyer and the Sellers (or a Seller, as applicable) or on the date on which both such amount and an Indemnified Party’s obligation to pay such amount have been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such proceeding. Within three (3) Business Days after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, if there is any amount of cash remaining in the Closing Escrow Fund (other than amounts relating to claims for which a Notice has been delivered and that have not been finally resolved and paid prior to such expiration date) (such remaining amount, the “Remaining Escrow Amount”), the Buyer and the Sellers shall deliver a written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Remaining Escrow Amount from the Closing Escrow Fund and to pay the Remaining Escrow Amount to the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated by the Sellers to the Escrow Agent in writing.

Section 8.7 Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, except in the case of common law fraud by Sellers or the Buyer Parties in the making of the representations and warranties contained in Article II and Article III or Article IV (as the case may be), the indemnities provided in this Article VIII shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims regarding matters arising under or otherwise relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that this exclusive remedy does not preclude a party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to enforce any decision or determination of the Neutral Accounting Firm. Without limiting the foregoing, the Buyer Parties and Sellers each hereby waive (and, by their acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement, each Buyer Indemnified Party and Seller Indemnified Party hereby waives), from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other

than claims of, or causes of action arising from, common law fraud by Sellers or the Buyer Parties in the making of the representations and warranties contained in Article II and Article III or Article IV (as the case may be)) such party may have against the other party arising under or based upon this Agreement or any schedule, exhibit, disclosure letter, document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, and no legal action sounding in tort, statute or strict liability may be maintained by any party (other than a legal action brought solely to enforce or pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII). Nothing in this Section 8.7 shall prevent any Buyer Indemnified Party from seeking recovery, or recovering, under the R&W Insurance Policy or Title Policy in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 8.8 Release. Effective as of the Closing, the Buyer Parties and the Company (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”) each hereby unconditionally and irrevocably and forever releases and discharges each Seller Party and each of their respective successors and assigns, and any present or former direct and indirect investors, partners, shareholders, equity holders, directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, lenders, principals, members or managers of any of the foregoing Persons (each, a “Released Party”), of and from, and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, any and all claims, debts, losses, expenses, proceedings, covenants, liabilities, suits, judgments, damages, actions and causes of action, obligations, accounts, and liabilities of any kind or character whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, in contract, direct or indirect, at law or in equity (collectively, the “Released Claims”) that such Releasing Party ever had, now has or ever may have or claim to have against any Released Party, arising in connection with the management, ownership and operation of the Company; provided, however, that this release does not extend to claims relating to any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or any of the provisions set forth herein or release or waive any rights to be indemnified, reimbursed and held harmless that the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to under this Article VIII. Each Buyer Party, on behalf of itself and the Buyer Indemnified Parties and other Releasing Parties, expressly waives all rights afforded by any statute which limits the effect of a release with respect to unknown claims. Each Buyer Party, on behalf of itself and the Buyer Indemnified Parties and other Releasing Parties, covenants that none of the Releasing Parties will (and that such Buyer Party will cause all other Persons who may seek to claim as, by, through or in relation to any of the Releasing Parties or any of the matters released by or on behalf of the Releasing Parties in this Section 8.8 not to) xxx any of the Released Parties on the basis of any of the Released Claims herein released and discharged. Each Buyer Party, on behalf of itself and the Buyer Indemnified Parties and other Releasing Parties, understands the significance of this release of unknown claims and waiver of statutory protection against a release of unknown claims, and acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement. The Buyer Parties acknowledge that the Sellers will be relying on the waiver and release provided in this Section 8.8 in connection with entering into this Agreement and that this Section 8.8 is intended for the benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, each Released Party (including each Seller Party) to enforce this Section 8.8. Nothing in this Section 8.8 shall prevent any Buyer Parties from seeking recovery, or recovering, under the R&W Insurance Policy in accordance with its terms.

Section 8.9 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Except as otherwise required by Law, any amounts payable under this Article VIII shall be treated by the Buyer and the Sellers as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

Section 9.5 Interpretation. For purposes of this Agreement (i) when a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section or Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. All Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, (ii) the table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement, (iii) whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” (iv) the word “or” is not exclusive and (v) the words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereby”, “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole. The Buyer and each Seller will be referred to herein individually as a “party” and collectively as “parties” (except where the context otherwise requires). The words “provided”, “delivered”, “made available” or other terms of like meaning shall mean that the referenced document or other material was (a) posted and accessible to a Buyer Party or its Representatives in the Citrix ShareFile data room created for Elgin Riverboat Diligence at least one (1) Business Day prior to, and remained so posted and accessible through, the date of this Agreement or (b) transmitted to any of the Buyer Parties or any of their respective Representatives by any other electronic means. The term “pending” shall mean pending (but shall not be construed as referring to any action, suit or proceeding against an applicable party that has been filed but not yet served such party). The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in

any Disclosure Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, (i) are or are not material, (ii) do or do not constitute a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) are or are not outside the Ordinary Course of Business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Disclosure Schedule is or is not material, does or does not constitute a Material Adverse Effect or is or is not outside the Ordinary Course of Business, in each case, for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all documents and instruments referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect after the Closing. Each party hereto hereby agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the certificates and other agreements delivered in accordance with this Agreement and the respective Disclosure Schedules, neither the Sellers nor the Buyer Parties make any other representations or warranties, and each hereby disclaims any other representations and warranties made by itself or any of its respective Representatives or other Representatives, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to any of them or their respective Representatives of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

Section 9.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 9.9 Assignment. Without the prior written consent of all of the parties hereto, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by operation of Law (including by merger or consolidation) or otherwise. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 9.9 shall be void.

Section 9.10 Parties of Interest; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and its permitted successors and assigns, and, except for the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the Seller Indemnified Parties and as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or PDF file (portable document format file) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.12 Mutual Drafting. Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. In the event any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.13 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Buyer and the Sellers.

Section 9.14 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, may, to the extent legally allowed (i) extend the time for or waive the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant herein and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach hereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or any other right.

Section 9.15 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement and all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions herein.

Section 9.16 Guarantee. MGM hereby, irrevocably and unconditionally, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees to the Buyer the payment and performance by MGM Elgin’s obligations under Section 1.6(f) and Article VIII.

Section 9.17 Waiver of Restrictions under Partnership Agreement. The Sellers, being the partners of the Company, and the Company, hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything in the Partnership Agreement to the contrary, the transfer of the Purchased Interests hereunder and other transactions referenced herein shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and that no conditions, restrictions or other provisions related to or applicable to transfer of the Purchased Interests contained in the Partnership Agreement shall be applicable to, or be implicated by, such transfer, and that any such conditions, restrictions or other provisions are hereby fully and completely waived in all respect, and the transfer of the Purchased Interests and other transactions referenced herein pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is hereby ratified or approved in all respects.

Section 9.18 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the Persons that are expressly named as parties hereunder, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement), no past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other representative of any party hereto shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith. The provisions of this Section 9.18 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the directors, managers, officers, employees, incorporators, committee members, members, partners, stockholders, Affiliates, agents, attorneys and other representatives of the parties hereto, and each such Person shall be a third party beneficiary of this Section 9.18.

Section 9.19 Conflict Waiver; Transaction Materials.

(a) Recognizing that Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, LLP or one or more of its affiliated or related entities (“GT”) has acted as legal counsel to the Company prior to the Closing, and that GT has acted and intends to act as legal counsel to one or more Sellers or their respective Affiliates after the Closing, each of the Buyer Parties and the Company hereby waives any conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with GT representing one or more of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates after the Closing in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, based on the fact that GT may be deemed to have represented the Company prior to the Closing or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. In addition, subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.19(a) and except in the case of any matter as between the Company, on the one hand, and any Person other than any Seller or any of their respective its Affiliates, on the other hand, (i) all communications involving attorney-client confidences between any Seller, its Affiliates or the Company and GT for the purpose of negotiating, documenting and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company), (ii) the Company shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of GT primarily relating to such engagement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred; and (iii) upon and after the Closing, (A) the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and the Company shall not be a holder thereof, (B) to the extent that files of GT in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company) shall hold such property rights and (C) GT shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between GT and the Company or otherwise. Notwithstanding, anything herein to the contrary, it is understood that communications, status updates and advice prior to the Closing with the Company regarding legal matters involving the Company not made for the primary purpose of the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement (and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the other agreements, instruments and documents contemplated hereby or delivered in connection herewith) shall remain the property of the Company from and after Closing.

(b) Each of Buyer Parties and the Company acknowledges and agree that all Transaction Materials shall constitute the sole and exclusive property of the Representative, and, following the Closing none of the Buyer Parties or the Company shall use or have any right to any such Transaction Materials (including copies thereof, other than copies retained for legal archival purposes or pursuant to automatic backup procedures; provided that such copies shall not be used or accessed for any purpose) (it being understood and agreed that any such Transaction Materials may be transferred to the Sellers or their respective Affiliates and fully deleted from the records (regardless of media) of the Company). To the extent that any of the Buyer Parties or the Company comes into possession of any Transaction Materials following the Closing, such Persons shall not use such Transaction Materials for any purpose.
