Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Execution of Purchase Agreements for Harrah’s New Orleans, Harrah’s Atlantic City and Harrah’s Laughlin

On September 26, 2019, Eldorado Resorts, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Eldorado” or the “Company”), and VICI Properties L.P. (“Buyer”) entered into the following agreements (each of which were entered into in accordance with the terms of that certain Master Transaction Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2019, by and between the Company and Buyer (the “Master Transaction Agreement”), which was previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K): (i) a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Harrah’s New Orleans Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire, and the Company agreed to cause to be sold, all of the fee and leasehold interests in the land and real property improvements associated with Harrah’s New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana (the “Harrah’s New Orleans Property”), for a cash purchase price of $775.5 million; (ii) a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Harrah’s Atlantic City Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire, and the Company agreed to cause to be sold, all of the land and real property improvements associated with Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City and Harrah’s Atlantic City Waterfront Conference Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey (together, the “Harrah’s Atlantic City Property”) for a cash purchase price of $599.25 million; and (iii) a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Harrah’s Laughlin Purchase Agreement” and, collectively with the Harrah’s New Orleans Purchase Agreement and the Harrah’s Atlantic City Purchase Agreement, the “Subject Property Purchase Agreements” and each a “Subject Property Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire, and the Company agreed to cause to be sold, all of the equity interests in a newly formed entity that will acquire the land and real property improvements associated with Harrah’s Laughlin Hotel & Casino in Laughlin, Nevada (the “Harrah’s Laughlin Property” and, collectively with the Harrah’s New Orleans Property and the Harrah’s Atlantic City Property, the “Subject Properties” and each a “Subject Property”) for a cash purchase price of $434.75 million.

As noted above, the Subject Property Purchase Agreements were entered into in accordance with the terms of the Master Transaction Agreement, and the acquisitions of the Subject Properties are part of the broader set of transactions contemplated by such Master Transaction Agreement (such transactions, collectively, the “VICI Transaction”), as previously disclosed by the Company. The purchase of each of the Subject Properties is subject to the consummation of the closing of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 24, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Colt Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Caesars Entertainment Corporation (“Caesars”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Caesars, with Caesars surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”), as well as certain customary closing conditions, including satisfactory due diligence reviews to be performed by Buyer during a ninety (90) day due diligence period and obtaining certain regulatory approvals, in each case as set forth in each Subject Property Purchase Agreement. The purchase of each Subject Property will not be cross-conditioned on the purchase of any other Subject Property (that is, Buyer is not required to close on “all or none” of the Subject Properties). In addition, the other transactions that comprise the VICI Transaction are not conditioned on the completion of any or all of the acquisitions of the Subject Properties. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Subject Property Purchase Agreement, if either the Company or Buyer defaults in its obligation to consummate the purchase and sale of the Harrah’s New Orleans Property or the Harrah’s Atlantic City Property, the defaulting party may be responsible for liquidated damages of up to $30.0 million for each such property, and if either the Company or Buyer defaults in its obligation to consummate purchase and sale of the Harrah’s Laughlin Property, the defaulting party may be responsible for liquidated damages of up to $18.5 million. The amount of any liquidated damages payable under the Subject Property Purchase Agreements will be offset on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of any damages or termination fee paid by the Company or its affiliates under the Master Termination Agreement, which provides for the Company to pay VICI a $75.0 million termination fee in the event the Master Transaction Agreement is terminated because the Merger Agreement is terminated.

In connection with the closing of the purchase of the Subject Properties, the Lease (Non-CPLV), dated October 6, 2017, which currently provides for the lease by Caesars from Buyer of a majority of Caesars’ regional properties, will be amended to include the Subject Properties (such lease, as amended, the “Regional Lease”), which will be leased back to subsidiaries of the Company following the consummation of the Merger for an initial aggregate total additional annual rent of $154.0 million, subject to annual increases in accordance with the Regional Lease. Upon consummation of the purchase of each Subject Property, Buyer’s existing call options on the applicable Subject Property will terminate.

The foregoing description of the Subject Property Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Harrah’s New Orleans Purchase Agreement, the Harrah’s Atlantic City Purchase Agreement and the Harrah’s Laughlin Purchase Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, Exhibit 2.2 and Exhibit 2.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

TITLE MATTERS

to remedy such Objection, but Eldorado will have no liability to Buyer if Eldorado is unable or fails to remedy such Objection (unless such objection is a Required Removal Exception). If Eldorado elects not to remedy any Objection(s) which it may elect not to Remove, then Eldorado may so notify Buyer in writing within five (5) Business Days after Eldorado receives the Objection Notice referencing such Objection(s). If Buyer delivers an Objection Notice to Eldorado, and (a) Eldorado does not notify Buyer within such five (5) Business Day period that Eldorado will attempt to cure such Objection, (b) Eldorado notifies Buyer within such five (5) Business Day period that Eldorado will not attempt to cure such Objection, or (c) Eldorado is unable or fails to convey, or cause to be conveyed, title to the Property to Buyer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then, Buyer shall have the right to elect, by written notice to Eldorado given not later than (i) the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the receipt by Buyer of notice from Eldorado that Eldorado will not cure such Objection, (ii) the fifth (5^th) Business Day after Eldorado received such Objection Notice if Eldorado did not within such five (5) Business Day period elect to cure such Objection, or (iii) the Closing if Eldorado is unable or fails to cause title to be conveyed in accordance with this Agreement, either (x) to accept such title as Eldorado is able to convey, or caused to be conveyed, without any reduction of the Purchase Price or any credit or allowance on account thereof or any other claim against Eldorado (in which case the exception to which Buyer had raised an Objection and which Eldorado did not elect to cure (or was unable to, or failed to, cure) shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception) (but if such Objection is to a Seller Monetary Lien in excess of the Required Removal Threshold, Buyer shall have the right to accept such title as Eldorado is able to cause to be conveyed; and in such event such Seller Monetary Lien shall be Non-CPLV Lease Tenant’s responsibility as if such Seller Monetary Lien first arose during the term of the Amended Non-CPLV Lease), or (y) to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer delivers an Objection Notice to Eldorado, and Eldorado does not notify Buyer within such five (5) Business Day period that Eldorado will attempt to cure such Objection, then Eldorado shall be deemed to have elected not to remedy such Objection(s). If Eldorado timely notifies Buyer that Eldorado will attempt to cure such Objection(s) and despite Eldorado’s commercially reasonable efforts it has not cured such Objection(s) by the Scheduled Closing Date, the scheduled Closing shall be adjourned for up to sixty (60) days in the aggregate to permit such process to be completed, and if such process shall be ongoing as of 11:59 p.m. on the adjourned Scheduled Closing Date, then this Agreement will automatically terminate without either party having any liability other than obligations that, pursuant to the express terms hereof, survive termination hereof, unless Buyer agrees to accept such title as Eldorado is able to convey or cause to be conveyed, without any reduction of the Purchase Price or any credit or allowance on account thereof or any other claim against Eldorado or Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, Eldorado’s failure to Remove or cause to be Removed any exception that is not a Required Removal Exception shall be neither a breach nor a default hereunder. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.1, then this Agreement shall terminate and be deemed null, void and of no further force or effect (other than obligations that, pursuant to the express terms hereof, survive termination hereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Eldorado shall be required to Remove all Required Removal Exceptions at or prior to Closing, which for purposes of clarification shall not restrict Eldorado or Seller from entering into unrecorded Contracts that may remain in effect as of Closing pursuant to Section 8.1.

ARTICLE 4

ACCESS; AS-IS SALE

SECTION 4.1. Due Diligence Period; Buyer’s Access to the Property.

(a) On or prior to the Effective Date, Eldorado shall, subject to Section 11.21 hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller to deliver to Buyer the diligence materials described on Schedule 4.1(a) attached hereto (the “Initial Diligence Materials”). Subject to the final sentence of this Section 4.1(a), Buyer shall have a period from the Effective Date until 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date that is ninety (90) days following the Effective Date (the “Due Diligence Period”), to perform its due diligence review of the Property and all matters related thereto (as Buyer in its sole discretion determines) (including, without limitation, any engineering, environmental, title, survey, zoning, leasing, tax, financial, operational and legal compliance matters relating to the Property). Eldorado shall, subject to Section 11.21 hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Buyer, promptly upon receipt of Buyer’s request therefor, any such information (in addition to the Initial Diligence Materials actually received by Buyer) as Buyer shall request (collectively, the “Additional Diligence Materials”). For the avoidance of doubt, Eldorado’s obligations under this Article 4 pertaining to requests for Initial Diligence Materials and Additional Diligence Materials relate solely to obtaining existing materials and information and in no event shall Eldorado be required to commission or create, or cause to be commissioned or created, any new studies, surveys, inspections or other diligence materials. If, during the Due Diligence Period, (i) Buyer identifies in writing to Eldorado any matter(s) or issue(s) pertaining to the Property which, in Buyer’s sole but good faith determination, if left unaddressed, individually or in the aggregate, have had or are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and/or could adversely affect VICI REIT’s status as REIT, (ii) Eldorado shall fail to provide (or shall fail to cause Seller to provide) to Buyer reasonably promptly after Buyer’s request therefor, any Additional Diligence Materials and/or access to the Property to Buyer and Buyer’s consultants and representatives for Inspections (“Access”) and/or (iii) Eldorado shall fail to grant Buyer’s request for consent to perform physically invasive Inspections of the Property, Buyer shall have the right (as Buyer’s sole remedy (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4 of the Master Transaction Agreement)) to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of its exercise of such right to Eldorado prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Upon delivery of such notice, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1(a), Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that Eldorado shall fail to deliver to Buyer the Initial Diligence Materials and/or Additional Diligence Materials and/or provide Access within five (5) days of receipt by Eldorado of Buyer’s written request therefor (which request may be delivered by email) (regardless of whether or not Eldorado used commercially reasonable efforts to do so), the Due Diligence Period shall be extended, on a day for day basis, until such Initial Diligence Materials and/or Additional Diligence Materials, as applicable, are delivered (and/or written confirmation that such Initial Diligence Materials and/or Additional Diligence Materials, as applicable, or a specified subset thereof, do not exist) to Buyer and/or the requested Access is provided, as applicable.

(b) During the period between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, (i) Buyer, at its cost, may conduct such surveys and testing, investigations and inspections of the Property (collectively “Inspections”) as Buyer elects in its sole discretion and (ii) Eldorado shall, subject to Section 11.21 hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller to provide, at reasonable times during normal business hours, reasonable access to the Property to Buyer and Buyer’s consultants and other representatives for such purpose; provided that Buyer, without Eldorado’s consent (in its sole discretion) shall not be entitled to perform physically invasive Inspections. Buyer’s right to perform the Inspections shall be subject to and will not unreasonably interfere with or disturb the rights of Seller, tenants, guests and customers at the Property and the Inspections shall not unreasonably interfere with the Seller’s business operations. Buyer and its agents, contractors and consultants shall comply with Eldorado’s and Seller’s reasonable requests with respect to the Inspections to minimize such interference. Buyer will cause each of Buyer’s consultants that will be performing such Inspections (other than purely visual inspections) to provide to Eldorado (as a condition to performing such Inspections) proof of commercial general liability insurance on an occurrence form with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) aggregate limit bodily injury, death and property damage per occurrence.

(c) Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Eldorado, Seller and their respective Affiliates from and against any loss that Eldorado, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates shall incur as the result of the acts of Buyer or Buyer’s representatives or consultants in conducting physical diligence with respect to the Property, or, in the case of physical damage to the Property resulting from such physical diligence, for the reasonable cost of repairing or restoring the Property to substantially its condition immediately prior to such damage (unless Buyer promptly shall cause such damage to be repaired or restored); provided, however, (i) the foregoing indemnity and agreement to hold Eldorado, Seller and their respective Affiliates harmless shall not apply to, and Buyer shall not be liable or responsible for, (A) the discovery of any fact or circumstance not caused by Buyer or its representatives or consultants (except to the extent Buyer exacerbates such fact or circumstance), (B) any pre-existing condition (except to the extent Buyer exacerbates such pre-existing condition), or (C) the negligence or willful misconduct of Eldorado, Seller, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective agents, employees, consultants or representatives, and (ii) in no event shall Buyer be liable for any consequential, punitive or special damages; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such waiver of consequential, punitive and special damages shall not be deemed a waiver of damages that Eldorado, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates is required to pay to a third party in respect of consequential, punitive or special damages.

SECTION 4.2. As-Is Provision. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that:

ELDORADO NOR SELLER SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO DO ANY RESTORATION, REPAIRS OR OTHER WORK OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER ON OR AFFECTING THE PROPERTY AND, SPECIFICALLY, BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE AMENDED NON-CPLV LEASE, NEITHER ELDORADO NOR SELLER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY WORK ON OR IMPROVEMENT OF THE PROPERTY NECESSARY (x) TO CAUSE THE PROPERTY TO MEET ANY APPLICABLE HAZARDOUS WASTE LAWS, (y) TO REPAIR, RETROFIT OR SUPPORT ANY PORTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS DUE TO THE SEISMIC OR STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY (OR ANY DEFICIENCIES THEREIN) OF THE IMPROVEMENTS, OR (z) TO CURE ANY VIOLATIONS; AND (iii) NO PATENT OR LATENT CONDITION AFFECTING THE PROPERTY IN ANY WAY, WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE OR DISCOVERED AFTER THE CLOSING DATE, SHALL AFFECT BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY OR TO PERFORM ANY OTHER ACT OTHERWISE TO BE PERFORMED BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, NOR SHALL ANY SUCH CONDITION GIVE RISE TO ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR RIGHT OF DAMAGE OR RESCISSION AGAINST ELDORADO OR SELLER, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CLOSING DOCUMENT.

(a) Except as expressly contemplated or required by this Agreement, as may be required by applicable law or as set forth in Schedule 8.1(a), or to the extent Buyer otherwise consents in writing, from the Effective Date until the Closing or the date on which this Agreement is terminated (the “Termination Date”), Eldorado shall, subject to Section 11.21 hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller to (i) conduct its business and operate the Property in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and in compliance with law, except to the extent that Non-CPLV Lease Tenant would be permitted to not do the same under the Amended Non-CPLV Lease as if the Non-CPLV Lease Amendment were in effect, (ii) cause the existing certificate of occupancy for the Real Property to remain in effect through Closing, (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact its business organization and maintain its existing relations with customers, suppliers, landlords, tenants, creditors, licensors, licensees, business partners, officers, key employees, consultants, insurers and others having business dealings with it, in each case, in all material respects, except to the extent that Non-CPLV Lease Tenant would be permitted to not do the same under the Amended Non-CPLV Lease as if the Non-CPLV Lease Amendment were in effect; provided, however, that no action relating to the subject matter of any of the clauses of Section 8.1(b) that is permitted to be taken by Seller without the consent of Buyer, shall be deemed a breach of this Section 8.1(a).

(b) Eldorado agrees that from the Effective Date until the Termination Date, except as expressly contemplated or required by this Agreement, as may be required by applicable Law or as set forth in Schedule 8.1(b), without the prior written consent of Buyer, it will, subject to Section 11.21 hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller:

(i) not to sell, transfer, dispose of, grant or otherwise authorize the sale, transfer, lease, sublease, disposition or grant of any of the Property;

(ii) not to (A) modify or rescind any material license, franchise, Permit or authorization of a Governmental Authority or (B) fail to make capital expenditures at the Property required under any Gaming Law or by any Gaming Authority, except, in the case of each of (A) and (B), to the extent that Seller, solely in its capacity as tenant under the Amended Non-CPLV Lease, would be permitted to do the same under the terms of the Amended Non-CPLV Lease if the Amended Non-CPLV Lease were in effect with respect to the Property;

(iii) not to enter into any new Contract or Lease or extend, renew, replace or otherwise modify or terminate or cancel any Contract or Lease, except to the extent that Seller, solely in its capacity as tenant under the Amended Non-CPLV Lease, would be permitted to do the same under the terms of the Amended Non-CPLV Lease if the Amended Non-CPLV Lease were in effect with respect to the Property. For purposes of clarification, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Eldorado be required to terminate at Closing any unrecorded Contracts that it or the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates enters into in accordance with the exception set forth in this clause (iii);

(iv) not to demolish or alter, improve or otherwise physically change the Buildings, in whole or in part, or construct any additional buildings, structures or other improvements on the Land (collectively, “Alterations”) except to the extent that Seller, solely in its capacity as tenant under the Amended Non-CPLV Lease, would be permitted to do the same under the terms of the Amended Non-CPLV Lease if the Amended Non-CPLV Lease were in effect with respect to the Property; provided, however, that Buyer (as one of the entities comprising Non-CPLV Lease Landlord) hereby consents to Eldorado and/or Seller performing Alterations that satisfy the HNO License Extension Improvements required by House Bill No. 544, subject to the terms and provisions of the Amended Non-CPLV Lease (subject to the provisions of Appendix 1 hereto);

(v) to (x) use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue, negotiate and obtain the HNO Property Documents Amendments and (y) generally cooperate with Buyer in connection with the matters described in the preceding clause (x), which shall include, without limitation, keeping Buyer regularly and reasonably informed as to the status and negotiations of the HNO Property Documents Amendments by, among other things, providing copies of drafts of such documents sent to or received from the counterparties thereto and soliciting the reasonable comments of Buyer relating to such documents that are consistent with this Agreement, Schedule 6.4(d) hereto, the MTA and Exhibit A thereto, and any other reasonable comments of Buyer thereto and (to the extent such comments are consistent with Schedule 6.4(d) hereto) using commercially reasonable efforts to have such comments be incorporated into the HNO Property Documents Amendments, and allowing Buyer to participate in conversations or negotiations with the counterparties thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Eldorado complies with its obligations under this Section 8.1(b)(iv), in no event shall Eldorado or Seller be in breach or default hereunder due to the failure by the State of Louisiana (by and through the Louisiana Gaming Control Board), the City of New Orleans or NOBC to accept Buyer’s comments.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that prior to the Merger Closing, despite Eldorado’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to cause Seller to conduct its business, operate the Property and act in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1(a) and/or Section 8.1(b) hereof, Seller fails to conduct its business, operate the Property and/or otherwise act in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1(a) and/or Section 8.1(b) hereof (including the failure of Seller to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain HNO Property Documents Amendments), then Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Eldorado and thereafter the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for other obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, which right shall be Buyer’s sole remedy for such failure of Seller to conduct its business, operate the Property and/or otherwise act in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1(a) and/or Section 8.1(b) hereof (other than as provided in Section 2.4 of the Master Transaction Agreement).

as and when required hereunder; accordingly, the parties agree that a reasonable estimate of Eldorado’s damages in such event is the amount of Thirty Million and No/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00) (the “Eldorado Liquidated Damages Amount”); provided, however, that any damages or termination fee paid by Buyer or its Affiliates under the Master Transaction Agreement shall reduce the Eldorado Liquidated Damages Amount hereunder on a dollar for dollar basis. If Buyer defaults in its obligation to consummate the Closing as and when required under this Agreement, then Eldorado shall have the right to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (x) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, whereupon, Buyer shall pay the Eldorado Liquidated Damages Amount to Eldorado, and thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for other obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, (y) seek specific performance of this Agreement against Buyer and, as applicable, the Buyer Parties, so long as such action for specific performance is commenced within ninety (90) days of Eldorado obtaining knowledge of any such default by Buyer or (z) waive the default or breach and proceed to close the Transaction.

SECTION 9.2. Buyer’s Remedies for Eldorado Defaults. Prior to entering into this transaction, Buyer and Eldorado have discussed the fact that substantial damages will be suffered by Buyer if Eldorado shall default in its obligation to cause the Property to be sold under this Agreement as and when required hereunder; accordingly, the parties agree that a reasonable estimate of Buyer’s damages in such event is the amount of Thirty Million and No/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00) (the “Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount”); provided, however, that any damages or termination fee paid by Eldorado or its Affiliates under the Master Transaction Agreement shall reduce the Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount hereunder on a dollar for dollar basis. If Eldorado defaults in its obligation to consummate the Closing as and when required under this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the right to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (x) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Eldorado, whereupon, Eldorado shall pay the Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount to Buyer, and thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for other obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, (y) seek specific performance of this Agreement against Eldorado, Seller and their respective Affiliates, so long as such action for specific performance is commenced within ninety (90) days of Buyer obtaining knowledge of any such default by Eldorado or (z) waive the default or breach and proceed to close the Transaction.

CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION

this Agreement by giving written notice to Eldorado no later than the date (the “Casualty Notice Date”) that is five (5) Business Days after Eldorado notifies Buyer of such Major Casualty/Condemnation. The failure by Buyer to terminate this Agreement by the Casualty Notice Date shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Major Casualty/Condemnation” shall mean (i) any casualty, condemnation proceedings, or eminent domain proceedings if the portion of the Property that is the subject of such casualty or such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings has a value in excess of Thirty Six Million and No/Dollars ($36,000,000.00), as reasonably determined by a third party contractor or architect selected by Eldorado and reasonably acceptable to Buyer, or (ii) any uninsured casualty which Eldorado does not agree (as set forth as a written modification of the Amended Non-CPLV Lease reasonably acceptable to Eldorado and Buyer executed and delivered on the Closing Date and guaranteed pursuant to the Non-CPLV Lease Guaranty (as defined in the Master Transaction Agreement)), in its sole and absolute discretion, to repair or restore in a manner acceptable to Buyer.

SECTION 10.2. Allocation of Proceeds and Awards. If, after the Effective Date, any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking), or any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the parties hereto shall consummate the Closing upon the terms set forth herein. Any awards or proceeds received from the condemning authority or Eldorado’s or Seller’s insurance company, as the case may be (the “Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds”) shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Amended Non-CPLV Lease as if the Amended Non-CPLV Lease were in effect as of the date that such Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds are made available, and any claims in respect to any such awards or proceeds and the related insurance policies shall be assigned to Non-CPLV Lease Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Amended Non-CPLV Lease as if the Amended Non-CPLV Lease were in effect as of the date that such Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds are made available, and in all events the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted as a result of any such casualty or condemnation; provided, that nothing in this paragraph is intended to vitiate Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1 in connection with a Major Casualty/Condemnation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event a Major Casualty/Condemnation shall have occurred prior to the Closing and the parties elect to close in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the parties will have their respective rights and obligations with respect to such Major Casualty/Condemnation (and any Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds) that they would have under the terms of the Amended Non-CPLV Lease as if the Amended Non-CPLV Lease were in effect as of the date that such Major Casualty/Condemnation occurred.

Seller had maintained such insurance, then Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Eldorado and thereafter the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for other obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
