INDEMNIFICATION

Section 3.01 Indemnification by Penn. Penn shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold the GLPI Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, without duplication, (a) all Penn Taxes, (b) all Taxes incurred by GLPI or any GLPI Entity by reason of the incorrectness or breach by Penn of any of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder, and (c) any costs and expenses related to the foregoing (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

Section 3.03 Characterization of and Adjustments to Payments.

(a) For all Tax purposes, other than for purposes of Section 355(g) in accordance with the IRS Ruling, Penn and GLPI agree to treat or cause to be treated (i) any payment required by this Agreement (other than any payment of interest accruing after the Closing Date) as either a contribution by Penn to GLPI or a distribution by GLPI to Penn, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) any payment of non-federal Taxes by or to a Taxing Authority or any payment of interest as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the Party entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment, in either case except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

(b) Any indemnity payment under this Article III shall be increased to take into account any inclusion in income of the Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) arising from the receipt of such relevant indemnity payment and shall be decreased to take into account any reduction in income of the Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) arising from the incurrence or payment of the relevant indemnified item. For purposes of this Section 3.03(b), any inclusion or reduction, as applicable, shall be determined (i) using the highest marginal rates in effect at the time of the determination, and (ii) assuming the Indemnified Party will be liable for such Taxes at such rate and has no Tax Attributes at the time of the determination.

Section 3.04 Timing of Indemnity Payments. Indemnity payments in respect of any liabilities for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article III

GLPI shall use its best efforts to mitigate any Taxes for which Penn is liable pursuant to Section 3.01 to the extent such Taxes are (a) Transaction Taxes or (b) other Taxes imposed on or by reason of the Transactions or the failure of the Transactions to qualify for the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions.

ARTICLE IV

REFUNDS, CARRYBACKS, AMENDMENTS AND TAX ATTRIBUTES

Section 4.01 Refunds.

(a) Except as provided in Section 4.02, Penn shall be entitled to all Refunds of Taxes for which Penn is responsible pursuant to Article III, and GLPI shall be entitled to all Refunds of Taxes for which GLPI is responsible pursuant to Article III. A Party receiving a Refund to which the other Party is entitled pursuant to this Agreement shall pay the amount to which such other Party is entitled within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Refund.

(b) In the event of an Adjustment relating to Taxes for which one Party is responsible pursuant to Article III which would have given rise to a Refund but for an offset against the Taxes for which the other Party is or may be responsible pursuant to Article III (the “Benefited Party”), then the Benefited Party shall pay to the other Party, within ten (10) days of the Final Determination of such Adjustment an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such hypothetical Refund or (ii) the amount of such reduction in the Taxes of the Benefited Party, in each case, plus interest at the rate set forth in Section 6621(a)(1) on such amount for the period from the filing date of the Tax Return that would have given rise to such Refund to the payment date.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 4.01(a), to the extent that a Party applies or causes to be applied an overpayment of Taxes as a credit toward or a reduction in Taxes otherwise payable (or a Taxing Authority requires such application in lieu of a Refund) and such overpayment of Taxes, if received as a Refund, would have been payable by such Party to the other Party pursuant to this Section 4.01, such Party shall pay such amount to the other Party no later than the Due Date of the Tax Return for which such overpayment is applied to reduce Taxes otherwise payable.

(d) To the extent that the amount of any Refund under this Section 4.01 or Section 4.02(b), as applicable, is later reduced by a Taxing Authority or in a Tax Proceeding, such reduction shall be allocated to the Party to which such Refund was allocated pursuant to this Section 4.01 or Section 4.02(b), as applicable, and an appropriate adjusting payment shall be made.

Section 4.02 Carrybacks.

(a) The carryback of any loss, credit or other Tax Attribute from any Post-Closing Period shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations (and any applicable state, local or foreign Laws).

(b) (i) Subject to Section 4.02(c) and (d), in the event that any member of the GLPI Group realizes any loss, credit or other Tax Attribute in a Post-Closing Period of such member, such member may elect to carry back such loss, credit or other Tax Attribute to a Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period of Penn. Penn shall cooperate with GLPI and such member in seeking from the appropriate Taxing Authority any Refund that reasonably would result from such carryback (including by filing an amended Tax Return) at GLPI’s cost and expense; provided, that Penn shall not be required to seek such Refund and GLPI and such member shall not be permitted to seek such Refund, in each case to the extent that such Refund would reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact Penn (including through an increase in Taxes or a loss or reduction of a Tax Attribute regardless of whether or when such Tax Attribute otherwise would have been used), in each case without the prior written consent of Penn, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. GLPI (or such member) shall be entitled to any Refund realized by any member of the Penn Group or the GLPI Group resulting from such carryback.

(ii) Subject to Section 4.02(c) and (d), in the event that any member of the Penn Group realizes any loss, credit or other Tax Attribute in a Post-Closing Period of such member, such member may elect to carry back such loss, credit or other Tax Attribute to a Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period of such member. GLPI shall cooperate with Penn and such member in seeking from the appropriate Taxing Authority any Refund that reasonably would result from such carryback (including by filing an amended Tax Return) at Penn’s cost and expense; provided, that GLPI shall not be required to seek such Refund and Penn and such member shall not be permitted to seek such Refund, in each case to the extent that such Refund would reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact GLPI (including through an increase in Taxes or a loss or reduction of a Tax Attribute regardless of whether or when such Tax Attribute otherwise would have been used), in each case without the prior written consent of GLPI, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Penn (or such member) shall be entitled to any Refund realized by any member of the GLPI Group or the Penn Group resulting from such carryback.

(c) Except as otherwise provided by applicable Law, if any loss, credit or other Tax Attribute of the Penn Business and the GLPI Business both would be eligible to be carried back or carried forward to the same Pre-Closing Period (had such carryback been the only carryback to such taxable period), any Refund resulting therefrom shall be allocated between Penn and GLPI proportionately based on the relative amounts of the Refunds to which the Penn Business and the GLPI Business, respectively, would have been entitled had such carryback been the only carryback to such taxable period.

(d) To the extent the amount of any Refund under this Section 4.02 is later reduced by a Taxing Authority or a Tax Proceeding, such reduction shall be allocated to the Party to which such Refund was allocated pursuant to this Section 4.02.

Section 4.03 Amended Tax Returns.

(a) Penn Consolidated Returns. Penn shall, in its sole discretion, be permitted to amend any Penn Consolidated Return for a Pre-Closing Period or a Straddle Period; provided, however, that unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, Penn shall not amend any such Penn Consolidated Return to the extent that any such amendment (i) would reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact GLPI (including through an increase in Taxes or a loss or reduction of a Tax Attribute regardless of whether or when such Tax Attribute otherwise would have been used) or (ii) is inconsistent with Past Practice, in each case without the prior written consent of GLPI, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) Mixed Business Income Tax Returns. Penn shall, in its sole discretion, be permitted to amend, or to cause GLPI or any GLPI Entity to amend (and GLPI shall, if Penn so chooses, amend or cause the applicable GLPI Entity to amend), any Mixed Business Income Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Period or a Straddle Period; provided, however, that unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, Penn shall not be permitted to so amend any such Mixed Business Income Tax Return to the extent that any such amendment (i) would reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact GLPI (including through an increase in Taxes or a loss or reduction of a Tax Attribute regardless of whether or when such Tax Attribute otherwise would have been used) in a Post-Closing Period or (ii) is inconsistent with Past Practice, in each case without the prior written consent of GLPI, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) Mixed Business Non-Income Tax Returns and Single Business Tax Returns. Each of Penn or GLPI, as the case may be, shall, in its sole discretion, be permitted to amend (or cause or permit to be amended) any Mixed Business Non-Income Tax Return or Single Business Tax Return; provided, however, that if any Party wishes to amend any such Tax Return for which the other Party may be liable for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement, then, unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, Penn or GLPI, as the case may be, shall not be permitted to so amend (or cause or permit to be amended) any such Mixed Business Non-Income Tax Return or Single Business Tax Return, as the case may be, to the extent that any such amendment (i) would reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact the other Party (including through an increase in Taxes or a loss or reduction of a Tax Attribute regardless of whether or when such Tax Attribute otherwise would have been used) or (ii) is inconsistent with Past Practice, in each case without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 4.04 Tax Attributes.

(a) Tax Attributes arising in a Pre-Closing Period shall be allocated to the Penn Group and the GLPI Group in accordance with the Code and Treasury Regulations (and any applicable state, local and foreign Laws). Penn and GLPI shall jointly determine the allocation of such Tax Attributes arising in Pre-Closing Periods as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and hereby agree to compute all Taxes for Post-Closing Periods consistently with that determination unless otherwise required by a Final Determination.

(b) To the extent that the amount of any Tax Attribute is later reduced or increased by a Taxing Authority or Tax Proceeding, such reduction or increase shall be allocated to the Party to which such Tax Attribute was allocated pursuant to Section 4.04(a).

Section 4.05 Treatment of Deductions Associated with Equity-Related Compensation.

(a) Solely the member of the Group for which the relevant individual is currently employed or, if such individual is not currently employed by a member of the Group, was most recently employed at the time of the vesting, exercise, disqualifying disposition, payment or other relevant taxable event, as appropriate, in respect of the equity awards and other incentive compensation described in Section 5.2 of the Employee Matters Agreement shall be entitled to claim any Tax deduction in respect of such equity awards and other incentive compensation on its respective Tax Return associated with such event.

(b) If, by reason of a subsequent Final Determination as to the treatment of any Tax deduction related to the equity awards and other incentive compensation referred to in Section 4.05(a) above, a Taxing Authority determines that (i) GLPI or a member of the GLPI Group is entitled to a deduction to which Penn or a member of the Penn Group is entitled pursuant to Section 4.05(a), then GLPI shall, and shall cause the GLPI Group to, pay the amount of any Tax benefits that result therefrom within ten (10) days of the date on which such Tax benefits are realized or (ii) Penn or a member of the Penn Group is entitled to a deduction to which GLPI or a member of the GLPI Group is entitled pursuant to Section 4.05(a), then Penn shall, and shall cause the Penn Group to, pay the amount of any Tax benefits that result therefrom within ten (10) days of the date on which such Tax benefits are realized.

ARTICLE V

TAX PROCEEDINGS

Section 5.01 Notification of Tax Proceedings. Within ten (10) days after an Indemnified Party becomes aware of the commencement of a Tax Proceeding that may give rise to Taxes for which an Indemnifying Party is responsible pursuant to Article III, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such Tax Proceeding, and thereafter shall promptly forward or make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of notices and communications relating to such Tax Proceeding. The failure of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any such Tax Proceeding within such ten (10) day period or promptly forward any further notices or communications shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

Section 5.02 Statute of Limitations. Any extension of the statute of limitations for any Taxes or a Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Period or a Straddle Period shall be made by the Party required to file such Tax Return or pay such Taxes to a Taxing Authority; provided that to the extent such Taxes or Tax Return may result in an indemnity payment pursuant to this Agreement by the Party other than the filing Party, the Indemnifying Party may, in its reasonable discretion, require that the filing Party extent the applicable statute of limitations for such period as determined by the Indemnifying Party.

Section 5.03 Tax Proceeding Procedures Generally. Except as provided in Section 5.04, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to contest, compromise and settle any Adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed pursuant to any Tax Proceeding for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible pursuant to Article III and any such defense shall be made diligently and in good faith; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party informed in a timely manner of all actions proposed to be taken by the Indemnifying Party and shall permit the Indemnified Party to observe all proceedings with respect to such Tax Proceeding; provided further, that if such Adjustment (or any actions proposed to be taken with respect thereto) would reasonably be expected to give rise to Taxes of the Indemnified Party in an amount of $5 million or more (other than Taxes for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible under Article III), determined on an annual basis, then, unless waived by the Parties in writing, the Indemnifying Party shall (a) prepare all correspondence or filings to be submitted to any Taxing Authority or judicial authority in a manner consistent with the Tax Return which is the subject of such Adjustment as filed and timely provide the Indemnified Party with copies of any such correspondence or filings for the Indemnified Party’s prior review and consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (b) provide the Indemnified Party with written notice reasonably in advance of, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to attend and participate in, any formally scheduled meetings with any Taxing Authority or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authority with respect to such Adjustment, (c) not enter into any settlement with any Taxing Authority with respect to such Adjustment without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (d) not contest such Adjustment before a judicial authority unless (i) such Adjustment would reasonably be expected to give rise to Taxes payable by the Indemnifying Party in an amount of $10 million or more or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has received an opinion of a nationally recognized law firm that it is more likely than not to prevail on the merits.

Section 5.04 Tax Proceedings in Respect of Transaction Taxes and Disqualifying Actions.

(a) Penn and GLPI shall be entitled to jointly contest, compromise and settle any Adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed pursuant to any Tax Proceeding relating to (i) any Transaction Taxes and (ii) any Taxes attributable to a GLPI Disqualifying Action with respect to which Penn notifies GLPI that it intends to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof.

(b) Penn shall be entitled to contest, compromise and settle any Adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed pursuant to any Tax Proceeding relating to any Taxes attributable to a Penn Disqualifying Action and shall defend such Tax Proceeding diligently and in good faith; provided, that unless waived by the Parties in writing, Penn shall (i) keep GLPI informed in a timely manner of all actions taken or proposed to be taken by Penn, (ii) provide copies of all

correspondence or filings to be submitted to any Taxing Authority or judicial authority to GLPI for its prior review and consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iii) provide GLPI with written notice reasonably in advance of, and GLPI shall have the right to attend, any formally scheduled meetings with any Taxing Authority or hearings or proceedings before any judicial authority.

TAX-FREE STATUS OF THE DISTRIBUTION

Section 6.01 Representations and Warranties.

(a) GLPI. GLPI hereby represents and warrants or covenants and agrees, as appropriate, that the facts presented and the representations made in the Tax Materials, to the extent descriptive of the GLPI Group (including the business purposes for the Internal Distribution and the Distribution described in the IRS Ruling Request and the other Tax Materials to the extent that they relate to the GLPI Group and the plans, proposals, intentions and policies of the GLPI Group), are, or will be from the time presented or made through and including the Effective Time (and thereafter as relevant) true, correct and complete in all respects.

(b) Penn. Penn hereby represents and warrants or covenants and agrees, as appropriate, that (i) it has delivered complete and accurate copies of the Tax Materials to GLPI and (ii) the facts presented and the representations made therein, to the extent descriptive of the Penn Group (including the business purposes for the Internal Distribution and the Distribution described in the IRS Ruling Request and the other Tax Materials to the extent that they relate to the Penn Group and the plans, proposals, intentions and policies of the Penn Group), are, or will be from the time presented or made through and including the Effective Time (and thereafter as relevant) true, correct and complete in all respects.

(c) No Contrary Knowledge. Each of Penn and GLPI represents and warrants that it knows of no fact (after due inquiry) that may cause the Tax treatment of the Transactions to be other than the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions.

(d) No Contrary Plan. Each of Penn and GLPI represents and warrants that neither it, nor any of its Affiliates, has any plan or intent to take any action which is inconsistent with any statements or representations made in the Tax Materials.

Section 6.02 Restrictions Relating to the Internal Distribution and the Distribution.

(a) General. Neither Penn nor GLPI shall, nor shall Penn or GLPI permit, any Penn Entity or any GLPI Entity, respectively, to take or fail to take, as applicable, any action that constitutes a Disqualifying Action described in the definitions of Penn Disqualifying Action and GLPI Disqualifying Action, respectively.

(b) Restrictions. Prior to the first day following the second anniversary of the Distribution (the “Restriction Period”), GLPI:

(i) shall continue and cause to be continued the active conduct (as defined in Section 355(b)(2) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations) of the GLPI Active Businesses, taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code;

(ii) shall not voluntarily dissolve or liquidate (including any action that is a liquidation for federal income tax purposes);

(iii) shall not (1) enter into any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent GLPI has the right to prohibit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction, permit any Proposed Acquisition Transaction to occur, (2) redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or through an Affiliate) any stock, or rights to acquire stock, except to the extent such repurchases satisfy Section 4.05(1)(b) of Revenue Procedure 96-30 (as in effect prior to the amendment of such Revenue Procedure by Revenue Procedure 2003-48 and Revenue Procedure 2013-32), (3) amend its certificate of incorporation (or other organizational documents), or take any other action, whether through a stockholder vote or otherwise, affecting the relative voting rights of its capital stock (including through the conversion of any capital stock into another class of capital stock), (4) merge or consolidate with any other Person or (5) take any other action or actions (including any action or transaction that would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with any representation made in the Tax Materials) which in the aggregate (and taking into account any other transactions described in this Section 6.02(b)(iii)) would be reasonably likely to have the effect of causing or permitting one or more Persons (whether or not acting in concert) to acquire directly or indirectly stock representing a Fifty-Percent or Greater Interest in GLPI or otherwise jeopardize the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions; and

(iv) shall not, and shall not permit any other member of the GLPI Group, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose (including in any transaction treated for federal income tax purposes as a sale, transfer or disposition) of assets (including, any shares of capital stock of a Subsidiary) that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 30% of the consolidated gross assets of GLPI or the GLPI Group. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) sales, transfers, or dispositions of assets in the Ordinary Course of Business, (B) any cash paid to acquire assets from an unrelated Person in an arm’s-length transaction, (C) any assets transferred to a Person that is disregarded as an entity separate from the transferor for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, or (D) any mandatory or optional repayment (or pre-payment) of any indebtedness of GLPI or any member of the GLPI Group. The percentages of gross assets or consolidated gross assets of GLPI or the GLPI Group sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, shall be based on the fair market value of the gross assets of GLPI and the members of the GLPI Group as of the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 6.02(b)(iv), a merger of GLPI or one of its Subsidiaries with and into any Person that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary of GLPI shall constitute a disposition of all of the assets of GLPI or such Subsidiary; provided, however that in the event GLP Capital, L.P. ceases to be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, GLPI, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, for purposes of this Section 6.02(b)(iv), references to GLPI shall also refer to GLP Capital, L.P., and any wholly owned Subsidiary of GLP Capital, L.P. shall be treated as a wholly owned Subsidiary of GLPI.

(c) Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by Section 6.02(b), during the Restriction Period, GLPI may proceed with any of the actions or transactions described therein, if (i) GLPI shall first have requested Penn to obtain a supplemental ruling in accordance with Section 6.03(a) to the effect that such action or transaction will not affect the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions and Penn shall have received such a supplemental ruling in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it, (ii) GLPI shall have provided to Penn an Unqualified Tax Opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Penn, or (iii) Penn shall have waived in writing the requirement to obtain such ruling or opinion. In determining whether a ruling or opinion is satisfactory, Penn shall exercise its discretion, in good faith, solely to preserve the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions and may consider, among other factors, the appropriateness of any underlying assumptions or representations used as a basis for the ruling or opinion and the views on the substantive merits.

(d) Certain Issuances of Capital Stock. If GLPI proposes to enter into any Section 6.02(d) Acquisition Transaction or, to the extent GLPI has the right to prohibit any Section 6.02(d) Acquisition Transaction, proposes to permit any Section 6.02(d) Acquisition Transaction to occur, in each case, during the Restriction Period, GLPI shall provide Penn, no later than ten (10) days following the signing of any written agreement with respect to any Section 6.02(d) Acquisition Transaction, with a written description of such transaction (including the type and amount of GLPI capital stock to be issued in such transaction).

(e) Tax Reporting. Each of Penn and GLPI covenants and agrees that it will not take, and will cause its respective Affiliates to refrain from taking, any position on any Income Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Tax-Free Status of the Transactions.

Section 6.03 Procedures Regarding Opinions and Rulings.

(a) If GLPI notifies Penn that it desires to take one of the actions described in Section 6.02(b) (a “Notified Action”), Penn shall cooperate with GLPI and use its reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain, as expeditiously as possible, a supplemental ruling from the IRS or an Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting GLPI to take the Notified Action unless Penn shall have waived the requirement to obtain such ruling or opinion. If such a ruling is to be sought, Penn shall apply for such ruling and Penn and GLPI shall jointly control the process of obtaining such ruling. In no event shall Penn be required to file any ruling request under this Section 6.03(a) unless GLPI represents that (i) it has read such ruling request, and (ii) all information and representations, if any, relating to any member of the GLPI Group, contained in such ruling request documents are (subject to any qualifications therein) true, correct and complete. GLPI shall reimburse Penn for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Penn Group in obtaining a ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by GLPI within ten (10) days after receiving an invoice from Penn therefor.

(b) Penn shall have the right to obtain a supplemental ruling or an Unqualified Tax Opinion at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. If Penn determines to obtain such ruling or opinion, GLPI shall (and shall cause each GLPI Entity to) cooperate with Penn and take any and all actions reasonably requested by Penn in connection with obtaining such ruling or opinion (including by making any representation or reasonable covenant or providing any materials requested by the IRS or the law firm issuing such opinion); provided, that GLPI shall not be

required to make (or cause a GLPI Entity to make) any representation or covenant that is untrue or inconsistent with historical facts, or as to future matters or events over which it has no control. In connection with obtaining such ruling, Penn shall apply for such ruling and shall have sole and exclusive control over the process of obtaining such ruling. Penn and GLPI shall each bear its own costs and expenses in obtaining a ruling or Unqualified Tax Opinion requested by Penn.

(c) Except as provided in Sections 6.03(a) and (b), following the Effective Time, neither GLPI nor any GLPI Affiliate shall seek any guidance from the IRS or any other Taxing Authority (whether written, verbal or otherwise) at any time concerning the Transactions (including the impact of any transaction on the Transactions).

Section 6.04 336(e) Election. The Parties agree that (i) Penn and GLPI shall enter into a written, binding agreement and (ii) Penn shall timely make a protective election under Section 336(e) of the Code (and any similar provision of any U.S. state or local jurisdiction) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-2(j) (a “Protective Section 336(e) Election”) with respect to the Distribution, in each case, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-2(h). Penn shall timely file such forms as may be contemplated by applicable Tax law or administrative practice to effect such Protective Section 336(e) Election. To the extent, pursuant to a Final Determination, the Distribution constitutes a “qualified stock disposition,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.336-1(b)(6), the Parties shall not and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, take any position for Tax purposes inconsistent with the relevant Protective Section 336(e) Election, except as may be required pursuant to a Final Determination. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that (x) Section 336(e) applies to the Distribution and (y) neither Section 355(c) nor Section 361(c) applies to the Internal Distribution, Penn shall be permitted to make an election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-13(f)(5)(ii) in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-13(f)(5)(ii)(E) and specifying Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-13(f)(5)(ii)(C) as the basis for relief.

A Party intending to destroy any material records or documents shall provide the other Party with reasonable advance notice and the opportunity to copy or take possession of such records and documents. The Parties hereto will notify each other in writing of any waivers or extensions of the applicable statute of limitations that may affect the period for which the foregoing records or other documents must be retained.

The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, may be inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by the Parties to this Agreement.
