Item 1.01

Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 20, 2015, Caesars Entertainment Corporation (“CEC”), Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary of CEC (“CEOC”), and holders (the “Consenting Creditors”) of a significant amount of claims in respect of CEOC’s 12.75% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018, 10.00% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018 and 10.00% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (collectively, the “Second Lien Notes” and the claims with respect thereto, the “Second Lien Bond Claims”) entered into an agreement (the “RSA”) with respect to the restructuring of CEOC’s indebtedness (the “Restructuring”) pursuant to the terms of the term sheet (summarized below) incorporated into the RSA (the “Term Sheet”). The RSA will become effective upon the signing of the RSA by creditors holding at least 50.1% of the Second Lien Bond Claims (the “Agreement Effective Date”). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the RSA and Term Sheet.

Consenting Creditors holding Second Lien Bond Claims who execute the RSA by the Forbearance Fee Date (as defined in the RSA) will receive a fee (the “RSA Forbearance Fee”) in an amount equal to their pro rata share of $200 million in principal amount of Convertible Notes (as described below) for (i) forbearing from exercising their default related rights and remedies and (ii) instructing their respective trustee to stay the case titled BOKF, N.A., solely in its capacity as successor Indenture Trustee for the 12.75% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018 v. Caesars Entertainment Corporation, Case No. 15-cv-01561 (S.D.N.Y.) (the “BOKF Case”) and the case titled Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, solely in its capacity as successor Indenture Trustee for the 10% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018, on behalf of itself and derivatively on behalf of Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. v. Caesars Entertainment Corporation, et. al., Case No. 10004-VCG (Del. Ch.) (the “WSFS Case”) solely to the extent required by, and as set forth in, the RSA.

In addition, the terms of the RSA and the Restructuring are substantially similar to the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Restructuring Support and Forbearance Agreement, dated as of January 14, 2015 (the “First Lien Bond RSA”), among CEC, CEOC and certain holders of claims under CEOC’s first lien notes, except that:

•

CEC shall contribute (a) one-half of the Cash/Equity Contribution (as described below) to CEOC for distribution to the Second Lien Noteholders under the Plan and (b)(i) one-half of the Cash/Equity Contribution (the “Class Acceptance Payment”) and (ii) at least an additional $200 million in principal amount of Convertible Notes to CEOC for distribution to the Second Lien Noteholders pro rata under the Plan so long as the Second Lien Noteholders vote as a class to accept the Plan (the “Class Convertible Notes”). If the Second Lien Noteholders do not vote as a class to accept the Plan, the Class Acceptance Payment and Class Convertible Notes shall be paid to the Forbearance Fee Parties. The Cash/Equity Contribution shall be (a) 9.8% of the direct or indirect interests in PropCo purchased by CEC (assuming all of the REIT New Common Stock Put Options are fully exercised) or cash in an amount equal to the shortfall from 9.8% of direct or indirect interests in PropCo (at Plan value) to the extent the REIT New Common Stock Put Options are not fully exercised and (b) the consideration that Caesars Acquisition Company is to receive under the Plan on account of claims it holds under the Unsecured Indentures;

•

Each Non-First Lien Noteholder shall have the right to participate (“Rights Participants”) in the Equity Rights (as defined below). Each participant may elect to purchase the right to receive its pro rata share of the greater of (a) 5% of the PropCo Common Stock to be distributed to the First Lien Noteholders if the holders of at least 66.66% of the Non-First Lien Obligations execute the RSA within 90 days from the date the First Lien Bond RSA is amended to allow for the modifications in respect of the Term Sheet (the “First Lien RSA Amendment Date”) or 2.5% of such PropCo Common Stock if such holders do not so execute by such date and (b) the aggregate amount of PropCo Common Stock elected to be sold by the First Lien Noteholders who elect to sell to the Rights Participants in connection with the Plan (the “Equity Rights”), subject to being cut back on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Equity Rights exercised. Any Non-First Lien Noteholder exercising an Equity Right must (a) make any required investor representations required for federal and state securities law purposes and (b) execute the RSA. The Equity Rights shall be subject to and contingent on the Non-First Lien Noteholders voting as a class to accept the plan.

purchase, then New Second Lien OpCo Debt at par until there is no more such New Second Lien OpCo Debt, then New Second Lien PropCo Debt until there is no more such New Second Lien PropCo Debt (such debt, the “Equity Rights Debt”).

For those Non-First Lien Noteholders becoming Rights Participants with respect to any series of Non-First Lien Obligations beginning from 30 days from the First Lien RSA Amendment Date until the date that is 60 days from the First Lien RSA Amendment Date, for every $1 of PropCo Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Equity Rights, the Rights Participant shall also purchase $0.60 of Equity Rights Debt at par in the same order as set forth above.

For those Non-First Lien Noteholders becoming Rights Participants with respect to any series of Non-First Lien Obligations from 60 days from the First Lien RSA Amendment Date until the date that is 90 days from the First Lien RSA Amendment Date, for every $1 of PropCo Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Equity Rights, the Rights Participant shall also purchase $0.70 of Equity Rights Debt at par in the same order as set forth above.

•

The Convertible Notes will be issued on the Effective Date;

•

If the lenders under CEOC’s credit facility (the “First Lien Bank Lenders”) beneficially owning or controlling at least 66.67% of the obligations under such credit facility do not sign the RSA or a similar restructuring support agreement agreeable to CEOC and CEC by September 15, 2015, CEC and CEOC may amend the RSA to provide alternative treatment for the First Lien Bank Lenders in good faith consultation with the Consenting Creditors, provided that no consents will be required by the Consenting Creditors for any such amendment except as required by the RSA;

•

PropCo will have a call right for Harrah’s New Orleans on the same terms and conditions as PropCo’s call rights on Harrah’s Atlantic City and Harrah’s Laughlin;

•

CEC or CEOC may terminate the RSA if the BOKF Case or the WSFS Case is not stayed within 75 days of the Agreement Effective Date or the stays of the BOKF Case and the WSFS Case are not at any time in place after such date; and

•

Certain milestone dates have been modified as described further below.

Restructuring Support and Forbearance Agreement

The RSA is substantially similar to the First Lien Bond RSA. Pursuant to the RSA, the Consenting Creditors will agree, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to (a) support the Restructuring and vote all their claims in respect of indebtedness of CEOC, including their Second Lien Bond Claims, in favor of a joint pre-negotiated chapter 11 plan of reorganization of CEOC, when properly solicited to do so, (b) not take any actions materially inconsistent with the Restructuring, (c) not transfer their Claims (as defined in the RSA) unless the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the RSA and (d) forbear from exercising certain default-related rights and remedies under the indentures governing the Second Lien Notes (the “Second Lien Indentures”).

Once entered into, the RSA may be terminated by CEOC if, among other things, (a) a Consenting Creditor breaches its obligations under the RSA, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (b) any statute, regulation, ruling or order enjoins or restricts the consummation of the Restructuring, (c) required in the exercise of its fiduciary duties as set forth in the RSA, (d) a party to the RSA files a motion in CEOC’s voluntary chapter 11 cases that CEOC will commence to effectuate the Restructuring (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) substantially inconsistent with the terms of the RSA, (e) any document needed to effectuate the Restructuring has terms not substantially consistent with the RSA and otherwise reasonably acceptable to CEOC, or (f) by the earlier of July 15, 2016 and 60 days after the date on which CEOC shall have obtained entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an order confirming the plan that is materially consistent with the Restructuring Term Sheet and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Consenting Second Lien Creditors and CEOC (the “Confirmation Order”) the Effective Date (as defined in the RSA) shall not have occurred. The RSA may also be terminated by CEC or CEOC if, among other things, either the BOKF Case or the WSFS Case is not stayed within 75 days of the effectiveness of the RSA or the stays of the BOKF Case and the WSFS Case are not at any time in place after such date, and by CEOC on or after the date that is 45 days from the Agreement Effective Date if the Consenting Second Lien Creditors do not beneficially own or control with the power to vote sufficient Second Lien Bond Claims to accept the Plan under section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Consenting Creditors holding greater than two-thirds of the aggregate amount of all Second Lien Bond Claims held by the Consenting Creditors (the “Requisite Consenting Creditors”) (and CEC, except for (a), with respect to itself, (i) and (k) below) may terminate the RSA if (a) CEOC or CEC breaches its respective obligations under the RSA, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (b) any statute, regulation, ruling or order enjoins or restricts the consummation of the Restructuring, (c) a trustee or examiner with expanded powers is appointed in CEOC’s Chapter 11 Cases, (d) CEOC’s Chapter 11 Cases are dismissed or converted under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, (e) any definitive document necessary to effectuate the Restructuring is not substantially consistent with the RSA, (f) CEOC files a motion substantially inconsistent with the terms of the RSA, (g) CEOC executes a letter of intent or similar documents stating its intention to pursue an Alternative Proposal, (h) the automatic stay is lifted with regard to CEOC’s assets having a fair market value in excess of $5 million (other than pursuant to relief sought by CEOC), (i) CEOC fails to meet or comply with the Milestones (as further described below), (j) the Restructuring is not consummated by the Outside Date, or (k) CEOC or CEC challenges the validity or priority of a material portion of the collateral securing the Second Lien Notes. The RSA will automatically terminate upon the termination of the First Lien Bond RSA.

The milestones that CEOC must meet or comply with under the RSA will be as follows (collectively, “Milestones”): (a) by the earlier of February 15, 2016 and 60 days after the final report in respect of the investigation detailed in the Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Motion to Appoint Examiner (Dkt. No. 675), entry of an order approving the disclosure statement (“Disclosure Statement”) and solicitation procedures; (b) by the earlier of May 15, 2016 and 90 days after the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Disclosure Statement, entry of an order confirming the Plan; and (c) by the earlier of July 15, 2016 and 60 days after the Confirmation Order the Effective Date (as defined in the RSA) shall have occurred.

The RSA may be amended by CEOC, CEC and the Requisite Consenting Creditors, provided that (a) no consents shall be required from any Consenting Creditor for CEC or CEOC to amend the Term Sheet to provide that the RSA Forbearance Fees, Cash/Equity Contributions, Convertible Notes (as defined below) and/or the Class Acceptance Payment may be paid to holders of (i) Second Lien Bond Claims and (ii) Unsecured Debt who, in each case, execute an RSA, (b) no consents shall be required from any Consenting Creditor or CEC to amend the RSA to implement the terms of a CEOC Governance Election (as defined below) if (i) greater than 66.67% of the Second Lien Bond Claims have signed the RSA, and (ii) on or after the date that is 15 days prior to the first Milestone, the Governance Committee determines, in its business judgment, that it must (x) direct CEC to contribute the RSA Forbearance Fees to CEOC for pro rata distribution under the Plan to the applicable class or classes of holders of Second Lien Bond Claims and/or Unsecured Debt and/or (y) distribute the Cash/Equity Contribution under the Plan pro rata to the applicable class or classes of holders of Second Lien Bond Claims and/or Unsecured Debt, in each case, in the same form and amount as set forth in Exhibit A to the RSA (such election, the “CEOC Governance Election”), (c) no consents shall be required from any Consenting Creditor or CEC to amend the RSA (i) if less than 66.67% of the Second Lien Bond Claims have signed the RSA, and (ii) on or after the date that is 15 days prior to the first Milestone, the Governance Committee determines, in its business judgment, that in order for the Plan to be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court it must direct CEC to contribute the Class Convertible Notes to CEOC for pro rata distribution under the Plan to the applicable class or classes of holders of Second Lien Bond Claims and/or Unsecured Debt, (d) any amendment to the treatment of claims (other than the Second Lien Bond Claims) will not require consent from any Consenting Creditors, so long as such amendment would not have an adverse impact on the interests of the holders of the Second Lien Bond Claims, (e) an amendment to the definition of Consenting Creditors or Requisite Consenting Creditors or the provisions regarding the transfer of claims requires the consent of CEOC, CEC and each Consenting Creditor, (f) any amendment that would materially and adversely affect any Consenting Creditor, in its capacity as such, disproportionally to other Second Lien Bond Claim holders requires the consent of such Consenting Creditor, and (g) the conditions to effectiveness of the RSA may only be waived by CEOC and CEC.

The Plan contemplated by the RSA also will provide that (subject to completion of the investigation by CEOC’s governance committee) CEC, its affiliates and other parties will receive full releases in return for contributions to be made to CEOC in connection with the Restructuring, including cash, the guaranty of lease payments, a backstop without fee of the sale of OpCo (as defined below) and PropCo equity, the right of first refusal to purchase certain properties and the provision of management services without fee. CEC and CEOC have agreed that, depending upon the valuation of CEC’s contributions by CEOC’s financial advisor, CEC may be required to make additional contributions of value to CEOC that may be material in return for releases. There are no assurances that the RSA will be entered into or that the Restructuring will be completed on the terms contemplated or at all.

Term Sheet to the RSA

The following is a summary of the materials terms of the Term Sheet, which are the same as the term sheet to the First Lien Bond RSA, except for the items highlighted above, including the issuance of the Convertible Notes (as defined below), the additional contributions by CEC, the Equity Rights and the Call Right for Harrah’s New Orleans:

Corporate Structure and Governance

•

CEOC shall be restructured as a separate operating company (“OpCo”), and property company (“PropCo”), with a real estate investment trust (the “REIT”) directly or indirectly owning and controlling PropCo.

•

OpCo shall have three board members, with CEC appointing either two or three of such members depending on whether it owns 90% or more of the equity. If CEC appoints all three members, then one member shall be an independent member.

•

OpCo shall have a non-voting board observer, reasonably acceptable to OpCo, designated by the Requisite Consenting Creditors.

•

The REIT shall have seven board members, with certain holders of CEOC’s first lien notes (“First Lien Noteholders”) appointing either six or seven of the members depending on whether the First Lien Noteholders own 90% or more of the equity.

•

PropCo shall own all of CEOC’s real property and a separate subsidiary of PropCo shall own all of the assets of Caesars Palace Las Vegas (“CPLV”).

Operating Leases

Under the Restructuring, there will be two separate leases: one (the “CPLV Lease”) for the Caesars Palace Las Vegas facility (the “CPLV Facility”) and a second (the “Non-CPLV Lease” and, together with the CPLV Lease, the “Leases”) for certain other properties currently owned by CEOC other than the CPLV Facility (the “Non-CPLV Facilities” and, together with the CPLV Facility, the “Facilities”).

Term

Each of the CPLV Lease and the Non-CPLV Lease will have an initial 15 year term, subject to four five-year renewal terms at the option of the respective tenant.

Rent

CPLV Lease. The base rent for the first five years of the lease term will be $160.0 million per year, subject to an annual escalator (the “Escalator”) equal to the higher of 2% and the Consumer Price Index increase with respect to such year. From and after the commencement of the 6th year of the lease term, rent will be (i) base rent equal to 80% of the rent for the 5th year of the lease term, subject to the annual Escalator, plus (ii) variable percentage rent equal to 20% of the rent for the 5th year of the lease term, with such variable percentage rent increased or decreased, as applicable, by 13.0% of the difference in net revenue of the CPLV Facility from the year prior to the first year of the lease term to the 5th year of the lease term (such resulting amount being referred to herein as “CPLV Initial Percentage Rent”). From and after the commencement of the 11th year of the lease term, variable percentage rent will be equal to a fixed annual amount equal to the CPLV Initial Percentage Rent, with such variable percentage rent increased or decreased, as applicable, by 13.0% of the difference in net revenue of the CPLV Facility from the 5th year of the lease term to the 10th year of the lease term.

adjustment may not cause the base rent to be increased by more than 10% of the prior year’s base rent), subject thereafter to the annual Escalator, and (ii) the variable percentage rent for such renewal term equal to the variable percentage rent in effect for the year of the lease term immediately preceding the first year of such renewal term, with such variable percentage rent increased or decreased, as applicable, by 13.0% of the difference in net revenue of the CPLV Facility from year 10 to year 15 of the lease term (in the event of the first renewal period) or from the year prior to the first year of the immediately preceding renewal term to the last year of the immediately preceding renewal term (in the event of subsequent renewal periods). The CPLV Lease will contain a customary mechanism by which the fair market value adjustment to base rent (for the fair market rent valuation as of the date of commencement of each applicable renewal term) will be determined at least 12 months prior to the commencement of the applicable renewal term.

Non-CPLV Lease. The base rent for the first three years of the lease term will be $475.0 million per year of the lease term.

For the 4th year of the lease term through the 10th year of the lease term, rent will be (i) base rent equal to $332.5 million subject to the annual Escalator commencing in the 7th year of the lease term, plus (ii) variable percentage rent equal to the Non-CPLV Initial Percentage Rent (as hereinafter defined), as adjusted at the commencement of the 6th year of the lease term as described below.

For the 4th and 5th years of the lease term, variable percentage rent, in each such year of the lease term, shall be equal to a fixed annual amount equal to $142.5 million, with such variable percentage rent increased or decreased, as applicable, by 19.5% of the difference in net revenue of the Non-CPLV Facilities from the year prior to the first year of the lease term to the 3rd year of the lease term (such resulting amount being referred to herein as “Non-CPLV Initial Percentage Rent”).

For the 6th year of the lease term through the 10th year of the lease term, variable percentage rent, in each such year of the lease term, will be equal to a fixed annual amount equal to the Non-CPLV Initial Percentage Rent, with such variable percentage rent increased or decreased, as applicable, by 19.5% of the difference in net revenue of the Non-CPLV Facilities from the 3rd year of the lease term to the 5th year of the lease term.

From and after the commencement of the 11th year of the lease term, rent will be (i) base rent equal to 80% of the rent for the 10th year of the lease term, subject to the annual Escalator, plus (ii) variable percentage rent equal to a fixed annual amount equal to 20% of the rent for the 10th year of the lease term, with such variable percentage rent increased or decreased, as applicable, by 13.0% of the difference in net revenue of the Non-CPLV Facilities from the 5th year of the lease term to the 10th year of the lease term.

At the commencement of each renewal term, rent will be based on (i) base rent for the first year of such renewal term adjusted to fair market value rent (provided that (A) in no event will the base rent be decreased and (B) such adjustment may not cause the base rent to be increased by more than 10% of the prior year’s base rent), subject thereafter to the annual Escalator, and (ii) the variable percentage rent for such renewal term equal to the variable percentage rent in effect for the year of the lease term immediately preceding the first year of such renewal term, with such variable percentage rent increased or decreased, as applicable, by 13.0% of the difference in net revenue of the Non-CPLV Facilities from year 10 to year 15 of the lease term (in the event of the first renewal period) or from the year prior to the first year of the immediately preceding renewal term to the last year of the immediately preceding renewal term (in the event of subsequent renewal periods). The Non-CPLV Lease will contain a customary mechanism by which the fair market value adjustment to base rent (for the fair market rent valuation as of the date of commencement of each applicable renewal term) will be determined at least 12 months prior to the commencement of the applicable renewal term.

Triple Net Lease, Capital Expenditures, Material Alterations

Each of the CPLV Lease and the Non-CPLV Lease will be structured as triple-net, with OpCo responsible for the maintenance and repair of the Facilities, with an adjustment for capital expenditures. OpCo will be required to expend $175.0 million in capital expenditures on an annual basis on the Facilities. Each year, PropCo will reimburse Opco for the lesser of (i) $78.0 million and (ii) 37.5% of all capital expenditures incurred by OpCo in such year. Such reimbursement will be reduced by 50% of excess cash flow generated in excess of $10.0 million from the Facilities in the prior year. The capital expenditure reimbursement amount will apply 75% to the Non-CPLV Lease and 25% to the CPLV Lease.

Subject to certain conditions, OpCo will be permitted to make any alterations and improvements, including materially altering a facility, expanding a facility or developing the undeveloped land leased pursuant to the lease, where the cost of such activity exceeds $50.0 million (such activity, a “Material Alteration”). PropCo has a right of first offer to provide the financing for any Material Alteration.

Other Terms

The Leases will contain various terms and conditions related to subleasing of properties from the Leases, insurance, casualty and condemnation, and other matters customary for leases of this type. OpCo also is subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default including certain events of cross default between the CPLV Lease and the Non-CPLV Lease. Among other remedies, PropCo will have the right to terminate the Leases during an event of default. The Leases also require OpCo, in the event of a termination of the Leases to provide certain transition services to PropCo in respect of the properties subject to the Leases for a limited time following such event. Rent will be allocated for tax purposes consistent with the safe harbor provided under Section 467 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and accompanying regulations and the distribution requirements of the REIT, adjusted as provided in the term sheet for the Leases.

The Leases will contain a right of first refusal in favor of OpCo, pursuant to which CEC (or its affiliate) will have the right to lease (and a subsidiary of CEC will have the right to manage) any domestic (U.S.) gaming facility outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, proposed to be owned, operated or developed by PropCo that is not then subject to a pre-existing lease or management agreement in favor of a third-party operator that was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition or development. OpCo’s right of first refusal will terminate if the MLSA (as defined below) has been terminated by PropCo or if CEC (or an affiliate thereof) is otherwise no longer responsible for management of the Facilities with PropCo’s consent.

The Leases will contain a right of first refusal in favor of PropCo, pursuant to which PropCo will have the right to own any domestic (U.S.) gaming facility outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, proposed to be owned, operated or developed by Opco that is not then subject to a pre-existing lease or management agreement in favor of a third-party operator that was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition or development. PropCo’s right of first refusal will terminate if the MLSA (as defined below) has been terminated by PropCo or, with PropCo’s consent, CEC (or an affiliate thereof) is otherwise no longer managing the Facilities. If PropCo declines to exercise its right of first refusal, the Leases will provide for the establishment of a percentage rent floor applicable to any Non-CPLV Facilities with respect to which the new facility is located within a 30-mile radius of such Non-CPLV Facility and outside of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Management and Lease Support Agreement (“MLSA”)

Pursuant to the terms of the MLSA, (i) a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEC (the “Manager”) will manage the Facilities and (ii) CEC will guarantee the payment and performance of all the monetary obligations of OpCo under the Leases. The Manager will manage the Facilities on reasonable and customary terms acceptable to the parties to the MLSA that are no less favorable to OpCo than current practice. The Facilities will continue to have access to services provided by Caesars Enterprise Services, LLC, including use of the Total Rewards^® program.

The MLSA will be coterminous with the Leases, and may not be terminated while the Leases are in effect without the consent of PropCo. If the MLSA is terminated, the Manager will continue to manage the Facilities (and the CEC guarantee of the Leases will remain in effect) during a post-termination management transition period.

The MLSA will contain covenants that will limit CEC’s ability (i) to sell certain assets and (ii) to pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments.

Debt Facilities

New First Lien OpCo Debt

OpCo will issue up to $1,188 million in principal amount of first lien debt with a six year term and interest at LIBOR plus 4.00% with a 1% LIBOR floor (the “New First Lien OpCo Debt”). The New First Lien OpCo Debt will consist of the OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the OpCo First Lien Notes (each as defined below):

OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities. OpCo will enter into a first lien credit agreement typical and customary for exit financing (the “OpCo First Lien Credit Agreement”) to govern the senior secured credit facilities (the “OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities”), which will consist of a senior secured term loan facility (the “OpCo First Lien Term Facility”) and, at OpCo’s option, may include a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200 million (the “OpCo Revolving Facility”). Commencing with the second full fiscal quarter ended after the closing date of the Restructuring (the “Closing Date”), the OpCo First Lien Term Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the OpCo First Lien Term Facility with the balance payable on the maturity date.

The OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities will allow OpCo to add additional revolving or term loan credit facilities (the “OpCo Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (x) $150.0 million and (y) an aggregate principal amount of indebtedness that would not cause (i) in the case of debt incurred under the OpCo Incremental Facilities that is secured by pari passu liens on the OpCo Collateral (as defined below), the pro forma first lien net leverage ratio to exceed a ratio to be set on the Closing Date that is equal to a ratio that is 0.25x greater than the pro forma first lien net leverage ratio in effect on the Closing Date and (2) in the case of debt incurred under the OpCo Incremental Facilities that is secured by junior liens on the OpCo Collateral, the pro forma total secured net leverage ratio to exceed a ratio to be set on the Closing Date that is equal to a ratio that is 0.25x greater than the pro forma total secured net leverage ratio in effect on the Closing Date.

The OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities will require OpCo to prepay outstanding loans under the OpCo First Lien Term Facility and to make offers to purchase the OpCo First Lien Notes, on a ratable basis, subject to certain exceptions, with:

•

50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% if the first lien net leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00 and to 0% if the first lien net leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00) of annual excess cash flow, as will be defined under the OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities;

•

100% of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or certain casualty events, in each case subject to certain exceptions and provided that OpCo may reinvest (or commit to reinvest) those proceeds in the business within 12 months (and, if so committed to be reinvested, actually reinvest within three months after the end of such initial 12-month period) in assets to be used in its business, or certain other permitted investments; and

•

100% of the net cash proceeds of any issuance, offerings or placements of debt, other than proceeds from debt permitted under the OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities (unless otherwise provided as a condition to the incurrence thereof).

The OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be borrowed by OpCo and guaranteed by each existing and subsequently acquired or organized wholly owned domestic subsidiary of OpCo (the “OpCo Subsidiary Guarantors”), and will be secured by a pledge of substantially all the owned material assets of OpCo and each OpCo Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case whether owned on the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, in each case subject to exceptions (the “OpCo Collateral”).

The OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities will include negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, restricting or limiting OpCo’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) create liens on certain assets; (iii) enter into sale and lease-back transactions; (iv) make certain investments, loans and advances; (v) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of their assets or to purchase, lease or

otherwise acquire all of the assets of any other person; (vi) pay dividends or make distributions or make other restricted payments; (vii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates; (viii) engage in any business other than the business activity conducted at the Closing Date or business activities incidental or related thereto; (ix) amend or modify the articles or certificate of incorporation, by-laws and certain agreements or make certain payments or modifications of certain indebtedness; (x) make material modifications to the MLSA, Leases and other arrangements entered into in connection with the lease structure; and (xi) designate or permit the designation of any indebtedness as “Designated Senior Debt.” The OpCo First Lien Credit Agreement will also provide for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, interest and any other monetary obligations under the OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities to be due and payable immediately.

OpCo First Lien Notes. The first lien notes to be issued by OpCo (the “OpCo First Lien Notes”) will be issued under an indenture (the “OpCo First Lien Indenture”) typical and customary in the case of first lien senior secured notes issued pursuant to an exit financing.

OpCo will be able to redeem the OpCo First Lien Notes at its option, in whole or part, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the OpCo First Lien Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole” premium. In addition, at any time and from time to time on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, OpCo will be able to choose to redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the OpCo First Lien Notes in an amount equal to the amount of proceeds from an equity offering at a redemption price equal to par plus the coupon on such notes. After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the OpCo First Lien Notes will be callable at par plus accrued interest plus a premium equal to 3.00%, which premium shall decline to 2.00% on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, to 1.00% on the third anniversary of the Closing Date and to 0% on the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.

The OpCo First Lien Indenture will require OpCo to make an offer to repurchase the OpCo First Lien Notes on a ratable basis with the payment of the OpCo term loans under the OpCo First Lien Term Facility, subject to certain exceptions, with:

•

100% of the net cash proceeds of any issuance, offerings or placements of debt, other than proceeds from debt permitted under the OpCo First Lien Indenture (unless otherwise provided as a condition to the incurrence thereof).

The OpCo First Lien Notes will be senior secured obligations of OpCo and the OpCo Subsidiary Guarantors and will rank equally and ratably in right of payment with all existing and future senior obligations and senior to all future subordinated indebtedness. The OpCo First Lien Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the OpCo Subsidiary Guarantors and secured by a first-priority security interest, pari passu with the OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities, subject to permitted liens, in the OpCo Collateral.

The OpCo First Lien Indenture will contain covenants that limit OpCo’s (and its restricted subsidiaries’) ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; (ii) pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell certain assets; (v) create or permit to exist dividend and/or payment restrictions affecting their restricted subsidiaries; (vi) create liens on certain assets to secure debt; (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets; (viii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates; and (ix) designate their subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The OpCo First Lien Indenture will also provide for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding OpCo First Lien Notes to be due and payable immediately.

New Second Lien OpCo Debt

OpCo will issue up to $547 million in principal amount of second lien debt with a seven year term and interest at 8.5% (the “New Second Lien OpCo Debt”). The New Second Lien OpCo Debt will consist of a single tranche of notes (the “OpCo Second Lien Notes”) that will be issued under an indenture typical and customary in the case of second lien senior secured notes issued pursuant to an exit financing (the “OpCo Second Lien Indenture”).

OpCo will be able to redeem the OpCo Second Lien Notes at its option, in whole or part, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the OpCo Second Lien Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole” premium. In addition, at any time and from time to time on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, OpCo will be able to choose to redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the OpCo Second Lien Notes in an amount equal to the amount of proceeds from an equity offering at a redemption price equal to par plus the coupon on such notes. After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the OpCo Second Lien Notes will be callable at par plus accrued interest plus a premium equal to 3.00%, which premium shall decline to 2.00% on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, to 1.00% on the third anniversary of the Closing Date and to 0% on the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.

The OpCo Second Lien Notes will be senior secured obligations of OpCo and the OpCo Subsidiary Guarantors and will rank equally and ratably in right of payment with all existing and future senior obligations and senior to all future subordinated indebtedness. The OpCo Second Lien Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the OpCo Subsidiary Guarantors and secured by a second-priority security interest, junior to the OpCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the OpCo First Lien Notes, subject to permitted liens, in the OpCo Collateral.

The OpCo Second Lien Indenture will contain covenants that limit OpCo’s (and its restricted subsidiaries’) ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; (ii) pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell certain assets; (v) create or permit to exist dividend and/or payment restrictions affecting their restricted subsidiaries; (vi) create liens on certain assets to secure debt; (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets; (viii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates; and (ix) designate their subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The OpCo Second Lien Indenture will also provide for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding OpCo Second Lien Notes to be due and payable immediately.

New First Lien PropCo Debt

PropCo will issue $2,392 million in principal amount of first lien debt with a five year term and interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% with a 1% LIBOR floor (the “New First Lien PropCo Debt”). The New First Lien PropCo Debt will consist of PropCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities and PropCo First Lien Notes (each as defined below):

PropCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities. PropCo will enter into a first lien credit agreement typical and customary for exit financing (the “PropCo First Lien Credit Agreement”) to govern the senior secured credit facilities (the “PropCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities”), which will consist of a senior secured term loan facility (the “PropCo First Lien Term Facility”) and, at PropCo’s option, may include a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “PropCo Revolving Facility”). Commencing with the second full fiscal quarter ended after the Closing Date, the PropCo First Lien Term Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the PropCo First Lien Term Facility with the balance payable on the maturity date.

The PropCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities will require PropCo to make customary asset sale mandatory pre-payments and excess cash flow mandatory prepayments (commencing with the first full fiscal year of PropCo after the Closing Date, and subject to a minimum threshold to be agreed), on terms and conditions to be set forth in the PropCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Such mandatory pre-payments will be made ratably between the loans under the PropCo First Lien Term Facility and to make offers to purchase the PropCo First Lien Notes.

The PropCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be borrowed by PropCo and guaranteed by each existing and subsequently acquired or organized wholly owned domestic subsidiary of PropCo (the “PropCo Subsidiary Guarantors”), and will be secured by a pledge of substantially all the owned material assets of PropCo and each PropCo Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case whether owned on the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, in each case subject to exceptions (the “PropCo Collateral”).

The PropCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities will include negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, restricting or limiting PropCo’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) create liens on certain assets; (iii) enter into sale and lease-back transactions; (iv) make certain investments, loans and advances; (v) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of their assets or to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire all of the assets of any other person; (vi) pay dividends or make distributions or make other restricted payments; (vii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates; (viii) engage in any business other than the business activity conducted at the Closing Date or business activities incidental or related thereto; (ix) amend or modify the articles or certificate of incorporation, by-laws and certain agreements or make certain payments or modifications of certain indebtedness; (x) make material modifications to the MLSA, Leases and other arrangements entered into in connection with the lease structure; and (xi) designate or permit the designation of any indebtedness as “Designated Senior Debt.” The PropCo First Lien Credit Agreement will also provide for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, interest and any other monetary obligations under the PropCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities to be due and payable immediately.

PropCo First Lien Notes. The first lien notes to be issued by PropCo (the “PropCo First Lien Notes”) will be issued under an indenture (the “PropCo First Lien Indenture”) typical and customary in the case of first lien senior secured notes issued pursuant to an exit financing.

PropCo will be able to redeem the PropCo First Lien Notes at its option, in whole or part, at any time prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the PropCo First Lien Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole” premium. In addition, at any time and from time to time on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, PropCo will be able to choose to redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the PropCo First Lien Notes in an amount equal to the amount of proceeds from an equity offering at a redemption price equal to par plus the coupon on such notes. After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the PropCo First Lien Notes will be callable at par plus accrued interest plus a premium equal to 3.00%, which premium shall decline to 2.00% on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, to 1.00% on the third anniversary of the Closing Date and to 0% on the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date.

The PropCo First Lien Indenture will require PropCo to make an offer to repurchase the PropCo First Lien Notes, on a ratable basis with the prepayment of PropCo term loans under the PropCo First Lien Term Facility, subject to certain exceptions, with excess cash flow (subject to a minimum threshold) and net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, in each case as on terms and conditions to be set forth in the PropCo First Lien Indenture.

The PropCo First Lien Notes will be senior secured obligations of PropCo and the PropCo Subsidiary Guarantors and will rank equally and ratably in right of payment with all existing and future senior obligations and senior to all future subordinated indebtedness. The PropCo First Lien Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the PropCo Subsidiary Guarantors and secured by a first-priority security interest, pari passu with the PropCo Senior Secured Credit Facilities, subject to permitted liens, in the PropCo Collateral.

The PropCo First Lien Indenture will contain covenants that limit PropCo’s (and its restricted subsidiaries’) ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; (ii) pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell certain assets; (v) create or permit to exist dividend and/or payment restrictions affecting their restricted subsidiaries; (vi) create liens on certain assets to secure debt; (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets; (viii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates; and (ix) designate their subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The PropCo First Lien Indenture will also provide for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding PropCo First Lien Notes to be due and payable immediately.

New Second Lien PropCo Debt

PropCo will issue $1,425 million in principal amount of second lien debt with a six year term and interest at 8.0% (the “New Second Lien OpCo Debt”). The New Second Lien OpCo Debt will consist of a single tranche of notes (the “PropCo Second Lien Notes”) that will be issued under an indenture typical and customary in the case of second lien senior secured notes issued pursuant to an exit financing (the “PropCo Second Lien Indenture”).

PropCo will be able to redeem the PropCo Second Lien Notes at its option, in whole or part, at any time prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the PropCo Second Lien Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole” premium. In addition, at any time and from time to time on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date, PropCo will be able to choose to redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the PropCo Second Lien Notes in an amount equal to the amount of proceeds from an equity offering at a redemption price equal to par plus the coupon on such notes. After the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the PropCo Second Lien Notes will be callable at par plus accrued interest plus a premium equal to one-half the coupon on such notes, which premium shall decline ratably on each anniversary of the Closing Date thereafter to zero on the date that is two years prior to the maturity date.

The PropCo Second Lien Notes will be senior secured obligations of PropCo and the PropCo Subsidiary Guarantors and will rank equally and ratably in right of payment with all existing and future senior obligations and senior to all future subordinated indebtedness. The PropCo Second Lien Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the PropCo Subsidiary Guarantors and secured by a second-priority security interest, junior to the PropCo Senior Secured Credit Facility and the PropCo First Lien Notes, subject to permitted liens, in the PropCo Collateral.

The PropCo Second Lien Indenture will contain covenants that limit PropCo’s (and its restricted subsidiaries’) ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; (ii) pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) sell certain assets; (v) create or permit to exist dividend and/or payment restrictions affecting their restricted subsidiaries; (vi) create liens on certain assets to secure debt; (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets; (viii) enter into certain transactions with their affiliates; and (ix) designate their subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The PropCo Second Lien Indenture will also provide for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding PropCo Second Lien Notes to be due and payable immediately.

CPLV Debt

Caesars Palace Las Vegas (“CPLV”) will issue $2,600 million in debt. No less than $2,000 million of such debt will be sold to third party investors for cash proceeds (“CPLV Market Debt”). Any remaining debt up to $600 million will constitute “CPLV Mezzanine Debt”. The weighted average yield on the CPLV Market Debt and CPLV Mezzanine Debt will be capped such that the annual debt service shall not exceed $130 million, with the cap increased by $2 million for every $100 million of CPLV Mezzanine Debt that is converted into PropCo equity in connection with the Restructuring. The terms of the CPLV Market Debt will depend on market conditions at the time of issuance and there can be no assurance that the CPLV Market Debt can be issued on terms satisfactory to PropCo or at all.

The CPLV Mezzanine Debt will have a six year term and an interest rate of 8% (which may be increased if the principal amount of CPLV Mezzanine Debt is decreased, up to a maximum of 13%). The CPLV Mezzanine Debt will be based on customary documentation for commercial real estate mezzanine financings. Subject to customary exceptions, the CPLV Mezzanine Debt will be secured on a first-priority basis by a pledge of the equity interests of the subsidiary (or subsidiaries) that own CPLV.

The CPLV Mezzanine Debt will include negative covenants, subject to certain exceptions, restricting or limiting the ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) create liens on certain assets; (iii) enter into sale and lease-back transactions; (iv) make certain investments, loans and advances; (v) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of assets or to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire all of the assets of any other person; (vi) pay dividends or make distributions or make other restricted payments; (vii) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; (viii) engage in any business other than the business activity conducted at the Closing Date or business activities incidental or related thereto; (ix) make material modifications to the MLSA, Leases and other arrangements entered into in connection with the

lease structure; and (x) amend or modify the articles or certificate of incorporation, by-laws and certain agreements or make certain payments or modifications of certain indebtedness. The CPLV Mezzanine Debt will also provide for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, interest and any other monetary obligations on all then outstanding CPLV Mezzanine Debt to be due and payable immediately.

If they vote as a class to accept the Plan, each Non-First Lien Noteholder (as defined in the Term Sheet) will receive its pro rata share of 30.1% of the equity, directly or indirectly, in PropCo, and have the option to be a participant in the Equity Rights (as described below). If the Non-First Lien Noteholders do not vote as a class to accept the Plan, each Non-First Lien Noteholder will receive its pro rata share of 17.5% of the equity, directly or indirectly, in PropCo, and the remaining 12.6% of PropCo equity shall be allocated to the equity holders of PropCo, excluding the Non-First Lien Noteholders, based on their pro rata ownership in PropCo.

•

Each First Lien Noteholder may elect to put up to (a) all of the OpCo equity for $700 million and/or (b) 14.8% of the PropCo equity they are to receive under the Plan to CEC for $269 million. The First Lien Noteholders may also elect to purchase all or some of the PropCo equity being put.

•

If the Non-First Lien Noteholders vote as a class to accept the Plan, they may elect to purchase up to all of the PropCo equity (excluding 5% of PropCo equity retained by OpCo) from the First Lien Noteholders (“Equity Rights”).

CEC’s Contribution to the Restructuring

In order to effectuate the Restructuring, CEC has agreed to take the following actions:

•

Contribute $406 million to pay for forbearance fees in connection with the Restructuring, general corporate purposes and to fund sources and uses;

•

Pursuant to the terms in the RSA, contribute the Cash/Equity Contribution and Class Convertible Notes for distribution to Second Lien Noteholders;

•

Contribute an additional $75 million to CEOC if there is insufficient liquidity at closing;

•

Purchase up to all of OpCo equity for $700 million and 14.8% of PropCo equity for $269 million;

•

Give PropCo a right of first refusal on all new domestic non-Las Vegas opportunities, with CEC or OpCo leasing such properties;

•

Guarantee OpCo’s monetary obligations to PropCo under the leases; and

•

Issue the Convertible Notes.

Convertible Notes

As described above, Consenting Creditors who sign the RSA by the Forbearance Fee Date will receive their pro rata share of at least $200 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes to be issued by CEC (“Convertible Notes”) on the Effective Date.

The Convertible Notes will bear interest at 5.00% per annum, payable in cash or in kind semi-annually, and will mature on the seventh anniversary from their issuance. The Convertible Notes will be CEC’s senior unsecured obligations ranking equally with all of CEC’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all of CEC’s existing and future secured indebtedness and existing and future liabilities of its subsidiaries.

Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert the Convertible Notes at their option before the six and a half year anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes under certain circumstances and may convert the Convertible Notes at their option at any time after the six and a half year anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes. On or after the fourth year anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes, CEC will have the right to cause the holders of the Convertible Notes to convert their Convertible Notes into a number of shares of CEC common stock equal to the conversion rate (as defined below) if the last reported price of CEC’s common stock for at least 20 days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days is greater than or equal to 125% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day.

The initial conversion rate, subject to anti-dilution adjustment, of the Convertible Notes will be equal to the number of shares equal to 1,000 divided by the greater of (x) $20.00 per share and (y) a 50% premium to the average daily volume-weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the shares for the 20 day trading period (“VWAP Period”) prior to the Effective Date (each of (x) and (y), a “Strike Price”) per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (the “conversion rate” and $1,000 divided by the applicable conversion rate, the “conversion price”); provided that the Strike Price will not exceed $25.00 per share.

Prior to the first year anniversary of issuing the Convertible Notes, CEC may not redeem the Convertible Notes. On or after the first year anniversary and prior to the fourth year anniversary of issuing the Convertible Notes, CEC may redeem for cash all or part of the outstanding Convertible Notes, but only if the last reported sale price of CEC’s common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date CEC provides a notice of redemption to holders of Convertible Notes exceeds 125% of the conversion price then in effect. The redemption price will be equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the redemption date and (iii) a “make-whole premium” payable in cash, equal to the present value (based on a discount rate equal to the applicable treasury yield plus 50 basis points) of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the Convertible Notes to be redeemed had such Convertible Notes remained outstanding from the redemption date to the fourth year anniversary.

Additional Terms

PropCo Call Rights: Subject to the terms of the debt documents for Caesars Entertainment Resort Properties, LLC and its subsidiaries, PropCo shall have a right for up to 180 days after consummation of the Restructuring to enter into an agreement to buy Harrah’s Atlantic City, Harrah’s Laughlin and Harrah’s New Orleans for a cash purchase price equal to ten times the agreed annual rent for such properties.

Consenting Second Lien Creditor after the date of this Agreement; (B) a Termination Event has occurred; (C) any person has challenged the validity or priority of, or has sought to avoid, any lien securing the Second Lien Bond Debt pursuant to a pleading filed with the Bankruptcy Court or another forum of competent jurisdiction; (D) material developments, negotiations or proposals relating to the Caesars-Commenced Litigation, the Caesars Cases, the Forbearance Defaults, and any other case or controversy that may be commenced against such Caesars Party in a court of competent jurisdiction or brought before a state or federal regulatory, licensing, or similar board, authority, or tribunal that would reasonably be expected to materially impede or prevent consummation of the Restructuring;

(iii) cause the Consenting Second Lien Creditors to be included in the mutual release and exculpation provisions to be provided in the Plan; and

(iv) unless the Caesars Party obtains the prior written consent of a Consenting Second Lien Creditor: (x) use the information regarding any Claims owned at any time by such Consenting Second Lien Creditor (the “Confidential Claims Information”) solely in connection with this Agreement (including any disputes relating thereto); and (y) except as required by law, rule, or regulation or by order of a court or as requested or required by the Securities and Exchange Commission or by any other federal or state regulatory, judicial, governmental, or supervisory authority or body, keep the Confidential Claims Information strictly confidential and not disclose the Confidential Claims Information to any other Person; provided, however, that the Caesars Parties may combine the Confidential Claims Information provided to the Caesars Parties by a Consenting Second Lien Creditor with the corresponding data provided to the Company by the Consenting Second Lien Creditors and disclose such combined data on an aggregate basis. In the event that any of the Caesars Parties is required (by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal or administrative proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process, or by any governmental, judicial, regulatory, or supervisory body) to disclose the Confidential Claims Information or the contents thereof, the Caesars Parties shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide affected Consenting Second Lien Creditors with prompt notice of any such request or requirement so that such Consenting Second Lien Creditors may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this section. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver from a Consenting Second Lien Creditor, a Caesars Party believes that it is nonetheless, following consultation with counsel, required to disclose the Confidential Claims Information, such Caesars Party may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Claims Information that it believes, following consultation with counsel, it is required to disclose, provided that it exercises reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Claims Information, including, without limitation, by marking the Confidential Claims Information “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” and by reasonably cooperating with the affected Consenting Second Lien Creditor to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential and attorneys’ eyes only treatment will be accorded the Confidential Claims Information. In no event shall this Agreement be construed to impose on a Consenting Second Lien Creditor an obligation to disclose the price for which it acquired or disposed of any Claim. The Caesars Parties’ obligations under this Section 5(a)(iv) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(b) Negative Covenants of the Caesars Parties. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, for the duration of the Restructuring Support Period, each of the Caesars Parties (except with the prior written consent of the Requisite Consenting Second Lien Creditors), shall not, directly or indirectly:

(ii) take any action or omit to take any action, or incur, enter into, or suffer any transaction, arrangement, condition, matter, or circumstance, that (in any such case) materially impairs, or would reasonably be expected to materially impair, the ability of CEC to perform its obligations under the MLSA relative to its ability to perform its obligations under the MLSA as of the date of this Agreement (after giving effect to the consummation of the Restructuring as if the Restructuring had been consummated on the date of this Agreement);

(iii) (A) redeem, purchase or acquire, or offer to acquire any shares of, or any options, warrants, conversion privileges, or rights of any kind to acquire any shares of, any of its capital stock or other equity interests other than in the normal course of business regarding management equity or management equity compensation, or (B) issue, sell, pledge, dispose of, or grant or incur any encumbrance on, any shares of, or any options, warrants, conversion privileges, or rights of any kind to acquire any shares of, any of its capital stock or other equity interests (other than issuances of equity interests upon the exercise, exchange, or conversion of options, warrants, or other conversion privileges that are outstanding as of the date hereof and only in accordance with the terms of such options, warrants, or other conversion privileges as in effect on the date hereof or other than in the normal course of business regarding management equity or management equity compensation) in an aggregate amount greater than $250 million;

(iv) to the extent it would materially impair the rights of the Consenting Second Lien Creditors in respect of such holders’ Second Lien Bond Claims (A) split, combine or reclassify any outstanding shares of its capital stock or other equity interests, or (B) unless the Company has received the prior written consent of the Requisite Consenting Second Lien Creditors, declare, set aside or pay any dividend or other distribution payable in cash, stock, property, a combination thereof, or otherwise with respect to any of its capital stock or other equity interests or any capital stock or other equity interests of any other Person, provided, however, that the Caesars Parties may issue customary equity incentives as part of management compensation in the ordinary course of business; or

(v) incur any material additional indebtedness, or transfer, sell, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any material assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) of the Company or the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries, in an aggregate amount greater than $200 million plus the amounts incurred by the Caesars Parties and/or the Non-Debtor Subsidiaries associated with or related to funding the Plan.

11. Termination.

(a) No Party may exercise any of its respective termination rights as set forth in Section 8 or Section 10 hereof, as applicable, if such Party has failed to perform or comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (unless such failure to perform or comply arises as a result of another Party’s actions or inactions), with such failure to perform or comply causing, or resulting in, the occurrence of the Termination Event specified herein.

(b) Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8, Section 9, or Section 10 hereof, all Parties shall be released from their commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any Party.

Upon a Termination Event that releases a Consenting Second Lien Creditor from its commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement (as set forth in Section 11(b)), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by such Consenting Second Lien Creditor, any and all votes, approvals, or consents delivered by such Consenting Second Lien Creditor and, as applicable, its Affiliates, subsidiaries, managed funds, representatives, agents, and employees in connection with the Restructuring prior to such termination date shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Company.

12. Transfer of Claims. The Restructuring Support Parties agree, with the exception of the permitted transfers and purchases enumerated in (a) and (b) below, that no Restructuring Support Party will, directly or indirectly, sell, contract to sell, give, assign, hypothecate, pledge, encumber, grant a security interest in, offer, sell any option or contract to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any economic, voting or other rights in or to, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively, “Transfer”), all or any portion of its Claims now or hereafter owned, and no such Transfer will be effective, unless the transferee executes and provides to the Company and counsel to the Consenting Second Lien Creditors a transfer agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C within two (2) Business Days of the execution of an agreement (or trade confirmation) in respect of such Transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Caesars Parties agree that any such transfer agreement shall be included in the definition of “Confidential Claims

Information” in Section 5(a)(iv) hereof. In addition to the foregoing Transfer, the following Transfers shall be permitted:

(a) any Transfer by one Consenting Second Lien Creditor to an Affiliate of such Consenting Second Lien Creditor or one or more of its affiliated funds or an affiliated entity or entities with a common investment advisor or investment manager (in each case, other than portfolio companies); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any transferee under this Section 12(a) shall be deemed a Consenting Second Lien Creditor for purposes of this Agreement, effective as of the date of the Transfer, and any transferor under this Section 12(a) shall remain liable in all respects for any breach of this Agreement by such transferee; and

(b) any Transfer by one Consenting Second Lien Creditor to another Consenting Second Lien Creditor.

•

Any Transfer of any Restructuring Support Party’s Claims that does not comply with the foregoing shall be deemed void ab initio; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that upon any purchase, acquisition, or assumption by any Restructuring Support Party of any Claims, such Claims shall automatically be deemed to be subject to all the terms of this Agreement. The restrictions in this Agreement are in addition to any Transfer restrictions in the Credit Agreement, the First Lien Indentures, the Second Lien Indentures, and the Unsecured Indentures and in the event of a conflict the Transfer restrictions contained in this Agreement shall control; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict, waive, or suspend any consent right the Company may have with respect to any Transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Qualified Marketmaker, acting solely in its capacity as such, that acquires any Claim subject to this Agreement shall not be required to execute a Transfer Agreement or otherwise agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth herein if, and only if, such Qualified Marketmaker sells or assigns such Claim within ten (10) Business Days of its acquisition and the purchaser or assignee of such Claim is a Consenting Second Lien Creditor (or a Consenting First Lien Creditor if Claim purchased is a First Lien Bond Claim or First Lien Bank Claim) or an entity that executes and provides a Transfer Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth herein; provided that if a Qualified Marketmaker, acting solely in its capacity as such, acquires First Lien Bond Debt, First Lien Bank Debt, Second Lien Bond Debt or Unsecured Debt from an entity who is not a Consenting Second Lien Creditor with respect to such debt (collectively, “Qualified Unrestricted Claims”), such Qualified Marketmaker may Transfer any right, title or interest in such Qualified Unrestricted Claims without the requirement that the transferee execute a Transfer Agreement; provided further that any such Qualified Marketmaker that is a Party to this Agreement shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 2(a)(iii) hereof) with respect to Qualified Unrestricted Claims pending the completion of any such Transfer.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) to the extent that a Restructuring Support Party effects the Transfer of all of its Claims in accordance with this Agreement, such Restructuring Support Party shall cease to be a Party to this Agreement in all respects and shall have no further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if such Restructuring Support Party acquires a Claim at any point thereafter, it shall be deemed to be a Party to this Agreement on the same terms as if it had not effected a Transfer of all of its Claims; and (b) subject to Section 2(a)(ii) hereof, to the extent that a Restructuring Support Party effects the Transfer of a Claim that it holds as a participant (and not grantor) pursuant to a participation agreement with voting provisions substantially similar to those set forth in the form of participation agreement produced by the Loan Syndications & Trading Association, the transferee thereof shall not be required to execute a Transfer Agreement.

13. Cooperation. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to counsel for the Consenting Second Lien Creditors (a) drafts of all material motions, applications (other than applications seeking to retain professional advisors), and other documents the Company intends to file with the Bankruptcy Court, no less than three (3) Business Days before the date when the Company intends to file any such document unless such advance notice is impossible or impracticable under the circumstances, in which case the Company shall notify telephonically or by electronic mail counsel to the Consenting Second Lien Creditors to advise it of the documents to be filed and the facts that make the provision of advance copies no less than three (3) Business Days before submission impossible or impracticable, and shall provide such copies as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, and (b) copies of all material documents actually filed by the Company with the Bankruptcy Court promptly but not later than one (1) day after such filing.

14. Amendments. No amendment, modification, waiver, or other supplement of the terms of this Agreement (including the Restructuring Term Sheet) shall be valid unless such amendment, modification, waiver, or other supplement is in writing and has been signed by the Caesars Parties and the Requisite Consenting Second Lien Creditors; provided, however, that:

(a) no such consents shall be required from any Consenting Second Lien Creditor for the Caesars Parties to amend the Restructuring Term Sheet (the “Non-1L Amendment”) to provide that the RSA Forbearance Fees, Cash/Equity Contribution, Class Convertible Notes and/or the Class Acceptance Payment may be paid to holders of (i) Second Lien Bond Claims and (ii) Unsecured Debt who, in each case, execute this Agreement (or a restructuring support agreement agreeable to CEC and CEOC, which is consistent in all material respects to this Agreement). The terms of the Non-1L Amendment shall otherwise be consistent with the provisions of Exhibit A, including, but not limited to, terms relating to the amount, form and nature of consideration and shall provide that the “Agreement Effective Date” shall occur no later than 30 days after the Company files a Form 8-K announcing a restructuring support agreement that embodies the Non-1L Amendment (which date may be extended one time on the same terms as the Agreement Effective Date set forth herein).

(b) no such consents shall be required from any Consenting Second Lien Creditor or CEC to amend this Agreement to implement the terms of a CEOC Governance Election (as defined below) if (i) greater than 66.67% of the Second Lien Bond Claims have signed this Agreement, and (ii) on or after the date that is (15) fifteen days prior to Milestone 1 (as defined in Exhibit B hereto, as such Milestone may be amended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), the Governance Committee determines, in its business judgment, that it must (x) direct CEC to contribute the RSA Forbearance Fees to the Company for pro rata distribution under the Plan to the applicable class or classes of holders of Second Lien Bond Claims and/or Unsecured Debt and/or (y) distribute the Cash/Equity Contribution (including the Class Acceptance Payment and Class Convertible Notes) under the Plan pro rata to the applicable class or classes of holders of Second Lien Bond Claims and/or Unsecured Debt, in each case, in the same form and amount as set forth in Exhibit A (such election, the “CEOC Governance Election”). For the avoidance of doubt, CEC consents to increase the CEC Convertible Notes to be issued in accordance with the CEOC Governance Election as provided by Schedule 1 to the Convertible Senior Notes Term Sheet annexed to Exhibit A;

(c) no such consents shall be required from any Consenting Second Lien Creditor or CEC to amend this Agreement to implement a CEOC Alternative Governance Election (as defined below) (i) if less than 66.67% of the Second Lien Bond Claims have signed this Agreement, and (ii) on or after the date that is (15) fifteen days prior to Milestone 1 (as defined in Exhibit B hereto, as such Milestone may be amended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), the Governance Committee determines, in its business judgment, that in order for the Plan to be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court it must direct CEC to contribute the Class Convertible Notes to the Company for pro rata distribution under the Plan to the applicable class or classes of holders of Second Lien Bond Claims and/or Unsecured Debt, in the same form and amount as set forth in Exhibit A (such election, the “CEOC Alternative Governance Election”);

(d) no such consents shall be required from any Consenting Second Lien Creditor with respect to any modification or amendment or any other agreement, document or other instrument implementing the Restructuring, including the Restructuring Term Sheet, regarding the treatment of Claims other than with respect to Second Lien Bond Claims, so long as it would not, reasonably construed, have an adverse impact on the interests of holders of Second Lien Bond Claims (including with respect to the form or value of recoveries to be provided on account of such Claims pursuant to the Restructuring), in their capacities as such, in connection with the Restructuring, provided, however, that this Section 14(d) shall not be construed to impair the rights of Consenting Second Lien Creditors pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii) hereof;

(e) any amendment to this Agreement to (i) the defined terms “Consenting Second Lien Creditors” or “Requisite Consenting Second Lien Creditors” or (ii) Section 12 hereof shall require the written consent of the Company, CEC and each Consenting Second Lien Creditor;

(f) any amendment that would materially and adversely affect any Consenting Second Lien Creditor that is a holder of Second Lien Bond Claims, solely in its capacity as such, in a manner that is disproportionate to any other holder of Second Lien Bond Claims, solely in its capacity as such, shall require the prior written consent of the adversely affected Consenting Second Lien Creditor;

(g) for the avoidance of doubt, any waiver of the conditions to the effectiveness of this Agreement set forth by Section 15 hereof may be waived only upon the express written consent of each of the Caesars Parties;

(h) the Company may waive application of the representations and warranties set forth by Section 7(a)(ii) and Section 7(a)(iii) hereof in all or in part with respect to any Consenting Second Lien Creditor in its sole discretion, but in consultation with CEC;

(i) any amendment, modification, supplement or other change with respect to the amount, form, timing, economics or value or any party’s entitlement to the RSA Forbearance Fees and/or the Cash Equity Contribution as set forth herein and in the Restructuring Term Sheet shall, subject to Sections 14(a), (b) and (c), require the written consent of the Company, CEC and such party.

15. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Agreement (and the obligations of all Parties hereunder) shall not become effective or enforceable against or by any of the Parties until the first date that this Agreement shall have been executed by (i) the Caesars Parties, and (ii) Consenting Second Lien Creditors beneficially owning or controlling with the power to vote in favor of the Plan at least 50.1% of the aggregate outstanding amount of the Company’s obligations under the Second Lien Indentures (the date upon which this Agreement becomes so effective, the “Agreement Effective Date”); provided, further, that if the conditions to effectiveness set forth by this Section 15 are not satisfied or waived by the Caesars Parties in their sole discretion on or before August 19, 2015, which date may be extended one time for a further 30 days at the sole discretion of the Caesars Parties, this Agreement automatically shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect.

16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Restructuring Term Sheet, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided, however, that any confidentiality agreement executed by any Restructuring Support Party shall survive this Agreement and shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

17. Survival of Agreement. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is being executed in connection with negotiations concerning a possible restructuring of the Company, and (a) the exercise of the rights granted in this Agreement (including giving of notice of termination) shall not be a violation of the automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) the Company hereby waives its right to assert a contrary position in the Chapter 11 Cases, with respect to the foregoing. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that, if a CEC Bankruptcy Event occurs, (a) the exercise of the rights granted in this Agreement (including giving of notice of termination) shall not be a violation of the automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any CEC bankruptcy and (b) CEC hereby waives its right to assert a contrary position in any such bankruptcy with respect to the foregoing and agrees that it will cooperate fully with Consenting Second Lien Creditors in obtaining a modification of the automatic stay to the extent necessary to permit Consenting Second Lien Creditors to exercise their rights under this Agreement.

18. No Waiver of Participation and Preservation of Rights. If the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated, or following the occurrence of the termination of this Agreement with respect to all Parties, if applicable, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights, remedies, claims, and defenses and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims and defenses.

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall constitute the same instrument and the counterparts may be delivered by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf).

20. Company Fiduciary Duties.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall otherwise require the Company or any directors, officers, or members of the Company, each in its capacity as a director, officer, or member of the Company, to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent inconsistent with its or their fiduciary obligations under applicable law (as reasonably determined by them in good faith after consultation with legal counsel).

(b) [reserved].

(c) All Consenting Second Lien Creditors reserve all rights they may have, including the right (if any) to challenge any exercise by the Company of its fiduciary duties.

21. Headings. The headings of the Sections, paragraphs, and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof.

22. Relationship Among Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Restructuring Support Parties under this Agreement shall be several, not joint. No Restructuring Support Party shall, as a result of its entering into and performing its obligations under this Agreement, be deemed to be part of a “group” (as that term is used in section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) with any of the other Restructuring Support Parties. It is understood and agreed that no Consenting Second Lien Creditor has any duty of trust or confidence in any kind or form with any other Consenting Second Lien Creditor, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, there are no commitments among or between them. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Consenting Second Lien Creditor may trade in the Claims or other debt or equity securities of the Company without the consent of the Company or any other Consenting Second Lien Creditor, subject to applicable securities laws, the terms of this Agreement, and the terms of the First Lien Bank Documents, the First Lien Indentures, the Second Lien Indentures and the Unsecured Indentures; provided, however, that no Consenting Second Lien Creditor shall have any responsibility for any such trading to any other entity by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Consenting Second Lien Creditors shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement.

23. Specific Performance; Remedies Cumulative. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that, without limiting any other remedies available at law or equity, money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach, including, without limitation, an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each of the Parties hereby waives any defense that a remedy at law is adequate and any requirement to post bond or other security in connection with actions instituted for injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable remedies.

24. No Commitment. No Restructuring Support Party shall be obligated to fund or otherwise be committed to provide funding in connection with the Restructuring, except pursuant to a separate commitment letter or definitive documentation relating specifically to such funding, if any, that has been (i) executed by such Restructuring Support Party and (ii) approved by the Bankruptcy Court, as necessary, along with the satisfaction of any conditions precedent to such funding requirements.

25. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to such state’s choice of law provisions which would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. Each of the Parties hereby agrees that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

26. Notices. All notices, requests, documents delivered, and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if delivered personally, by facsimile transmission, mailed (first class postage prepaid) or by electronic mail (“e-mail”) to the Parties at the following addresses, facsimile numbers, or e-mail addresses:

29. Settlement Discussions. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than to prove the existence of this Agreement or in a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

30. Good-Faith Cooperation; Further Assurances. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith in respect of matters concerning the implementation and consummation of the Restructuring.

The Company will promptly provide the Second Lien Professionals reasonable access, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours to relevant properties, books, contracts (including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases), commitments, records, management and executive personnel, and advisors of the Company (other than with respect to materials subject to attorney-client privilege or where granting such access is prohibited by law); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations hereunder shall be conditioned upon such Party being party to an appropriate confidentiality agreement or undertaking; provided, further, however, that any existing confidentiality agreements entered into between the Company and a Party shall be deemed to be appropriate.

32. Qualification on Consenting Second Lien Creditor Representations. The Parties acknowledge that all representations, warranties, covenants, and other agreements made by any Consenting Second Lien Creditor that is a separately managed account of an investment manager are being made only with respect to the Claims managed by such investment manager (in the amount identified on the signature pages hereto), and shall not apply to (or be deemed to be made in relation to) any Claims that may be beneficially owned by such Consenting Second Lien Creditor that are not held through accounts managed by such investment manager.

33. Publicity. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to submit drafts to the Second Lien Professionals of any press releases and public documents that constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such disclosure, and shall afford them a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to comment on such documents and disclosures and shall incorporate any such reasonable comments in good faith.

34. Additional Consideration. To the extent that a holder of Claims, in its capacity as such, receives Additional Consideration in connection with the Restructuring, such Additional Consideration shall be made available to all Consenting Second Lien Creditors that are holders of such Claims, in their capacities as such, on the same terms and on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Claims holdings. Any Consenting Second Lien Creditor that is a holder of such Claims who is not accorded such Additional Consideration shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Parties in accordance with Section 26 hereof; provided that such termination shall only be with respect to the terminating Consenting Second Lien Creditor, and not with respect to any non-terminating Parties.

35. CEC Bankruptcy or Similar Proceeding.

36. No Incurrence of Expenditures or Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to or require that any Consenting Second Lien Creditor must make any expenditure or incur any liability in order to perform any obligation set forth herein.

Exhibit A

Supplement to the Restructuring Term Sheet in the First Lien Bond RSA


RSA Forbearance & Instruction Fees		CEC shall pay a fee in an amount equal to $200 million of CEC Convertible Notes (the “RSA Forbearance Fees”) to the Forbearance Fee Parties, and each Forbearance Fee Party shall receive their pro rata share of the RSA Forbearance Fees, in respect of such Forbearance Fee Parties’ (a) forbearing from exercising their default-related rights and remedies and (b) instructing the Trustees to stay the BOKF Case and WSFS Case solely to the extent required by, and as set forth in, the RSA. The CEC Convertible Notes will be issued on the Effective Date. The material terms of the CEC Convertible Notes are set forth below.

Plan Recoveries to Second Lien Noteholders		CEC shall contribute (a) one-half of the Cash/Equity Contribution to the Company for distribution to the Second Lien Noteholders under the Plan and (b)(i) one-half of the Cash/Equity Contribution (the “Class Acceptance Payment”) and (ii) at least $200 million of CEC Convertible Notes to the Company for distribution to the Second Lien Noteholders under the Plan so long as the Second Lien Noteholders vote as a class to accept the Plan (the “Class Convertible Notes”) If the Second Lien Noteholders do not vote as a class to accept the Plan, the Class Acceptance Payment and the Class Convertible Notes shall be paid to the Forbearance Fee Parties. The Cash/Equity Contribution shall be (a) 9.8% of the direct or indirect interests in PropCo purchased by CEC (assuming all of the REIT New Common Stock Put Options are fully exercised) or cash in an amount equal to the shortfall from 9.8% of direct or indirect interests in PropCo (at Plan value) to the extent the REIT New Common Stock Put Options are not fully exercised and (b) the consideration that Caesars Acquisition Company is to receive under the Plan on account of claims it holds under the Unsecured Indentures.

Equity Rights		Subject to the terms below, the “*Equity Rights” as detailed below shall occur and each Non-First Lien Noteholder shall have the non-transferable right to be a “Rights Participant*.”

Each Rights Participant may elect to purchase the right to receive its pro rata share of the greater of (a) 5% of the PropCo Common Stock to be distributed to the First Lien Noteholders if the holders of at least 66.66% of the Non-First Lien Obligations execute the RSA (or a similar restructuring support agreement agreeable to CEOC and CEC and consistent with the terms of the RSA) on or before 90 days from the date the First Lien Bond RSA is amended to allow for modifications in respect of the Restructuring Term Sheet (the “First Lien RSA Amendment Date”) or 2.5% of such PropCo Common Stock if such holders do not so execute by such date and (b) the First Lien Election Amount (as defined below) from the First Lien Noteholders (the “Equity Rights”), subject to being cut back on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Equity Rights exercised. Any Non-First Lien Noteholder exercising an Equity Right must (a) make any required investor representations required for federal and state securities law purposes and (b) execute the RSA (or a similar restructuring support agreement agreeable to CEOC and CEC and consistent with the terms of the RSA).

The Equity Rights shall be subject to and contingent on the Non-First Lien Noteholders voting as a class (or all Non-First Lien Noteholder classes if applicable) to accept the Plan as part of Plan solicitation.

For those Non-First Lien Noteholders becoming Rights Participants with respect to any series of Non-First Lien Obligations within 30 days from the First Lien RSA Amendment Date, for every $1 of PropCo Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Equity Rights, the Rights Participant shall also purchase $0.50 of CPLV Mezzanine Debt to be received by the First Lien Noteholders at par until there is no more such CPLV Mezzanine Debt to purchase, then New Second Lien OpCo Debt at par until there is no more such New Second Lien OpCo Debt, then New Second Lien PropCo Debt until there is no more such New Second Lien PropCo Debt (such debt, the “Equity Rights Debt”).

For those Non-First Lien Noteholders becoming Rights Participants with respect to any series of Non-First Lien Obligations beginning from 30 days from the First Lien RSA Amendment Date until the date that is 60 days from the First Lien RSA Amendment Date for every $1 of PropCo Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Equity Rights, the Rights Participant shall also purchase $0.60 of Equity Rights Debt at par in the same order as set forth above.


		For those Non-First Lien Noteholders becoming Rights Participants with respect to any series of Non-First Lien Obligations beginning from 60 days from the First Lien RSA Amendment Date until the date that is 90 days from the First Lien RSA Amendment Date for every $1 of PropCo Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Equity Rights, the Rights Participant shall also purchase $0.70 of Equity Rights Debt at par in the same order as set forth above. The “*First Lien Election Amount*” means the aggregate amount of PropCo Common Stock elected to be sold by the First Lien Noteholders who elect to sell to the Rights Participants to the Rights Participants in connection with Plan solicitation. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Second Lien Noteholder signs the RSA after the Forbearance Fee Date, such Second Lien Noteholder may be a Rights Participant, but not a Forbearance Fee Party.

Plan Structure		Should the First Lien Bank Lenders (beneficially owning or controlling with the power to vote in favor of the Plan at least 66.67% of the First Lien Bank Obligations) not sign the RSA (or a similar restructuring support agreement agreeable to CEOC and CEC) by September 15, 2015, the Caesars Parties may amend the Restructuring Term Sheet to provide alternative treatment for the First Lien Bank Lenders in good faith consultation with the Consenting Second Lien Creditors; provided, however, that no such consents shall be required from any Consenting Second Lien Creditor related to the treatment for the First Lien Bank Lenders except as required by the RSA.

PropCo Call Rights		PropCo shall have a call right for Harrah’s New Orleans on the same terms and conditions as PropCo’s call rights on Harrah’s Atlantic City and Harrah’s Laughlin.

$400 million Convertible Senior Notes

Summary of Principal Terms


Description:		$400,000,000 principal amount of 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes” or “notes”). In the event that the Consenting Second Lien Creditors beneficially own or control with the power to vote in favor of the Plan more than 66.67% of the aggregate outstanding amount of the Company’s obligations under (a) the 10.00% second-priority senior secured notes due 2018 plus (b) the 12.75% second-priority senior secured notes due 2018, the principal amount of the Notes shall be increased ratably based on Schedule 1 attached hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the RSA or herein, in the event the Plan is amended pursuant to the CEOC Governance Election, the “Total Convert Face” (as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto) shall be deemed to be the greater of $450 million or, based on the % of Non-1L Support signing the RSA, the amount specified on Schedule 1 hereto.

Issuer:		Caesars Entertainment Corporation (“CEC”) (NASDAQ: CZR).

Maturity:		The seventh anniversary unless earlier purchased or converted. All references herein to the anniversaries shall be from the date of the issue of the Notes.

Interest:		5.00% interest per annum and payable semi-annually in arrears. At the option of CEC, interest on the Notes may be paid in cash or in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the Notes.

Ranking:		The notes will be CEC’s senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of CEC’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The notes will be effectively subordinated to all of CEC’s existing and future secured indebtedness and all existing and future liabilities of its subsidiaries.

Conversion:		Holders may convert the Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the six and half year anniversary but only under the following circumstances: • during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after the date of issue of the Notes, if the last reported sale price of CEC’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 125% of the conversion price (as defined below) for the Notes on each applicable trading day; or • during the five consecutive business day period after any five consecutive trading day period ( the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of such measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of CEC’s common stock and the conversion rate for the Notes on each such trading day;

• upon CEC giving a notice of optional redemption pursuant to “Redemption of Notes at CEC’s Option”; or

• upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events.

On or after the six and half year anniversary, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Notes, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

The notes will be convertible into shares of CEC’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “shares”), based on an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment as described under “Anti-Dilution Protection” below, of a number of shares equal to 1,000 divided by the greater of (x) $20.00 per share and (y) a 50% premium to the average daily volume-weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the shares for the 20 trading day period (the “VWAP Period”) prior to the Effective Date (each of (x) and (y), a “Strike Price”) per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment, the “conversion rate” and $1,000 divided by the applicable conversion rate, the “conversion price”); provided that in no event shall the Strike Price be greater than $25.00 per share.

Holders will not receive any additional payment representing accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon conversion of a Note, except in limited circumstances (including in the case where Notes are submitted for conversion after the close of business on a regular record date for the payment of interest, but prior to the open of business on the immediately following interest payment date). Instead, interest will be deemed to be paid by the consideration delivered to holders upon conversion of a note.

Settlement upon

Conversion:

Upon conversion, including by operation of the “Mandatory Conversion” provisions described below, CEC will pay or deliver, as the case may be, either cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at CEC’s election; provided, however, that in the event the conversion limits referred to below under “Conversion Limits” would limit a Holder’s ability to receive the full number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s Notes, such Holder shall have the right to require CEC satisfy its conversion obligation by delivery of (i) an amount in cash equal to the sum of the daily conversion values over the conversion period (as defined below) of shares of common stock which if issued to the Holder upon conversion would cause the Holder to exceed the applicable conversion limit plus (ii) with respect to balance of the shares otherwise issuable upon conversion of such Holder’s Notes, either cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at CEC’s election. If CEC satisfies its conversion obligation solely in cash or through payment and delivery, as the case may be, of a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, the amount of cash and shares of common stock, if any, due upon conversion will be based on a “daily conversion value” (as described below) calculated for each trading day in a 20 trading-day conversion period (as described below).

“Daily conversion value” shall mean, with respect to any note as to which cash settlement or combination settlement is applicable, for each of the 20


		consecutive trading days during the conversion period, one-twentieth (1/20th) of the product of (i) the applicable conversion rate on such trading day and (ii) the daily VWAP of CEC’s common stock on such trading day. “Conversion period” shall mean, with respect to any note as to which cash settlement or combination settlement is applicable, the 20 consecutive trading-day period beginning on, and including, the third trading day immediately following the related conversion date, except that conversion period means, with respect to any conversion date occurring during the final conversion period, the 20 consecutive trading-day period beginning on, and including, the 22nd scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date. “Final conversion period” shall mean the period beginning on the 25^th scheduled trading prior to the maturity date and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second scheduled trading day immediately prior to the maturity date.
Mandatory Conversion:		On or after fourth anniversary, CEC shall have the right at any time to cause the holders of the Notes to convert all of the holders’ notes into a number of shares of common stock equal to the conversion ratio then in effect on the mandatory conversion date if the last reported sale price of CEC’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date the notice of mandatory conversion is given to holders (and on such trading day) is greater than or equal to 125% of the conversion price for the Notes on each applicable trading day. The mandatory conversion date shall be not more than 60 days following a mandatory conversion notice.
Fundamental Change Make-Whole Premium:		If certain make-whole “fundamental changes” (to be defined in a customary manner including in respect of receipt of listed securities) occur, in certain circumstances CEC will pay a fundamental change make-whole premium on notes converted in connection with such make-whole fundamental change by increasing the conversion rate on such notes. The amount of the fundamental change make-whole premium, if any, will be based on the price of CEC’s common stock and the effective date of the make-whole fundamental change.
Fundamental Change:		If CEC undergoes a “fundamental change” (to be defined in a customary manner including in respect of receipt of listed securities), subject to certain customary conditions and processes, holders may require CEC to purchase for cash all or part of their notes. The fundamental change purchase price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.
Redemption of Notes at CEC’s Option:		Prior to the first anniversary, CEC may not redeem the Notes. On or after first anniversary and prior to the fourth anniversary, CEC may redeem for cash all or part of the outstanding notes, but only if the last reported sale price of its common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date CEC provides the notice of redemption to holders (and on such trading day) exceeds 125% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading day. The redemption price


		will be equal to the sum of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, (2) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, and (3) a “make-whole premium,” payable in cash, equal to the present value (based on a discount rate equal to the applicable treasury yield plus 50 basis points) of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the Notes to be redeemed had such notes remained outstanding from the redemption date to the fourth anniversary (excluding interest accrued to, but excluding, the redemption date, which is otherwise paid pursuant to the preceding clause (2)). CEC must make these make-whole premium payments (and accrued interest) on all notes called for redemption on or after the first anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary, including notes converted after the date CEC provides the notice of redemption but prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date.
Conversion Limits:		The notes will contain provisions to address any limitations on stock ownership relating to regulatory or other licensing requirements; provided such provisions shall not limit the ability of the holders to ultimately convert all the Notes, including in connection with a “Mandatory Conversion”. In addition, as contemplated under “Settlement upon Conversion” above, the conversion limit provisions and settlement mechanics will allow the Holders to require cash settlement to the extent they would otherwise be limited in their ability to acquire shares upon conversion due to the conversion limits.
Anti-Dilution Protection:		The notes will have customary anti-dilution provisions including in connection with a subdivision or combination of outstanding CEC common stock, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, issuance of rights or warrants, spin-off transactions, tender offers, distributions or stock or cash dividend.
Covenants:		The indenture governing the Notes will contain covenants applicable to CEC that are customary covenants for high-yield notes consistent with those issued by Caesars Entertainment Resort Properties, LLC on October 11, 2013, subject to customary modifications to reflect a holding company high-yield note issuance; provided that, the affiliate transaction and restricted payments covenants applicable to the Notes will be consistent with those applicable to CEC that will be included in the CEC guaranty of the Opco first lien debt after the closing date. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, neither the Notes nor the indenture governing the Notes will contain any financial covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of other indebtedness, the incurrence of liens or the issuance or repurchase of securities by CEC.
Events of Default:		If an event of default with respect to the Notes occurs, holders of at least 30% of the Notes outstanding may, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, accelerate the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest will automatically become due and payable in the case of certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving CEC.


MFN:		If CEC issues any other convertible notes as part of the Restructuring to any creditors of CEOC and such convertible notes have terms that in the aggregate are more favorable than the terms of the Notes, then the Notes shall have the benefit of such terms.
Registration:		CEC will issue the Notes in a transaction to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Registration Rights:		The holders will receive customary registration rights with respect to the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
Governing Law:		New York.

Caesars Entertainment, Caesars Entertainment Operating Co. Reach Agreement with a Group of

Second Lien Noteholders on Debt Restructuring

LAS VEGAS, July 20, 2015 — Caesars Entertainment Corporation (“Caesars Entertainment”) and Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (“CEOC”) have entered into a restructuring agreement with holders of a significant amount of CEOC’s second-lien notes. This agreement provides for a substantial improvement in recoveries for second lien noteholders and adds to the group of creditors supporting CEOC’s restructuring plan. The agreement will go effective when holders owning greater than 50% of second lien debt sign the agreement. With the public announcement of the terms of this enhanced restructuring agreement, Caesars Entertainment and CEOC will seek to gain further support.

Pursuant to the agreement, second lien noteholders who sign the agreement by the date holders owning greater than 50% of second lien debt sign the agreement (or 10 days after such date if occurring before August 19, 2015), shall receive a forbearance fee. Holders eligible to receive the fee will receive their pro rata share of at least $200 million in convertible notes to be issued by Caesars Entertainment in consideration for forbearing in respect to certain alleged defaults. These holders also have the potential to receive an additional $200 million of convertible notes either directly or through an enhanced class recovery as outlined more fully below.

In addition, Caesars Entertainment and CEOC have agreed to several improvements from the Restructuring Support Agreement announced on January 14, 2015, as follows:

•

Caesars Entertainment will contribute an additional $200 million of Caesars Entertainment convertible notes to the class of second lien noteholders if the class votes in favor of CEOC’s plan of reorganization. If the class does not vote in favor, the additional notes shall be distributed to second lien noteholders who have signed the agreement as an additional fee;

•

Caesars Entertainment will contribute approximately 5% common equity stake in PropCo (or cash) to the class of second lien noteholders;

•

Caesars Entertainment will contribute an additional approximately 5% common equity stake in PropCo (or cash) to the class of second lien noteholders if the class of second lien noteholders votes in favor of CEOC’s plan of reorganization. If the class does not vote in favor, the additional equity (or cash) shall be distributed to second lien noteholders who have signed the agreement as an additional fee;

•

Under certain conditions, second lien noteholders will have the opportunity to purchase, at plan value, a minimum of 2.5% of the PropCo Common Stock to be issued to first lien noteholders and a maximum of 100% of such stock;

•

Caesars Entertainment has agreed to grant PropCo a call right to purchase the real estate associated with Harrah’s New Orleans, consistent with the previously granted call right granted for the real estate underlying Harrah’s Atlantic City and Harrah’s Laughlin.

Consistent with the Restructuring Support and Forbearance Agreement dated January 14, 2015 and supported by more than 80% of first-lien noteholders, CEOC voluntarily commenced a Chapter 11 reorganization on January 15, 2015. The restructuring plan contemplates that CEOC will convert its corporate structure by separating virtually all of its US-based gaming operating assets and real property assets into two companies, including an operating entity (“OpCo”) and a newly formed, publicly traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that will directly or indirectly own a newly formed property company (“PropCo”).

The proposed transactions would reduce CEOC’s debt by approximately $10 billion, providing for the exchange of approximately $18.4 billion of outstanding debt for $8.6 billion of new debt. Annual interest expense would be reduced by approximately 75%, from approximately $1.7 billion to approximately $450 million. PropCo would lease its real property assets to OpCo in exchange for annual lease payments of $635 million, subject to certain adjustments, with the lease payments guaranteed by Caesars Entertainment.

Except as detailed above or in the Form-8K filed with the SEC today, today’s agreement with the group of second-lien noteholders is consistent with the January 14, 2015 RSA. The restructuring plan is subject to approval by the bankruptcy court and the receipt of required gaming regulatory approvals.

Caesars Entertainment and CEOC are continuing to work to obtain additional support from other CEOC creditors.
