BZ NOTE:

• From 8-k Filing:

On December 2, 2014, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc. (“CEOC”) and Caesars Entertainment Corporation (“CEC”) executed a Second Amended and Restated Waiver Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated and effective as of August 12, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) for the benefit of UMB Bank, National Association, as the trustee (the “Trustee”) under the indentures (the “Indentures”) governing the Senior Secured Notes (as defined below), and the registered and beneficial holders (the “Holders”) from time to time of CEOC's 11.25% senior secured notes due 2017, 8.5% senior secured notes due 2020 and 9% senior secured notes due 2020 (collectively, the “Senior Secured Notes”). Pursuant to the Agreement, if the Trustee or Holders provide a notice of default (or, in the case of the indenture governing the 8.5% senior secured notes due 2020, an additional notice of default) in respect of Specified Defaults (as defined in the Agreement) under any or all of the Indentures at any time on or after the Effective Date, such notice of default will be deemed to have been given as of the Effective Date of the Agreement for any and all purposes; provided that each Specified Default alleged in such Notice of Default under Section 6.01(c) or (j) of any or all of the Indentures shall become an “Event of Default” under such Indenture(s) if CEOC does not cure such Specified Default within three calendar days. Subject to written extension by CEOC and CEC, any notice of default that is provided after April 9, 2015 shall not have the benefit of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the Agreement, CEOC reserved all rights to challenge whether or not any Specified Defaults constitute actual defaults under the applicable Indentures.
