____________________ (1)Carrying value is net of unamortized original issue discount and unamortized debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with debt. (2)Interest on any outstanding balance is payable monthly. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate based on a leverage-based pricing grid with a range of 1.75% to 2.00% over LIBOR, or between 0.75% and 1.00% over the base rate depending on our total net debt to adjusted total assets ratio. Additionally, the commitment fee under the Revolving Credit Facility is calculated on a leverage-based pricing grid with a range of 0.375% to 0.5%, in each case depending on our total net debt to adjusted total assets ratio. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the commitment fee was 0.375%. (3)Interest on any outstanding balance is payable monthly. As of March 31, 2021, we had four interest rate swap agreements outstanding with third-party financial institutions having an aggregate notional amount of $1.5 billion at a LIBOR rate of 2.8297%. As of December 31, 2020, we had six interest rate swap agreements outstanding with third-party financial institutions having an aggregate notional amount of $2.0 billion at a blended LIBOR rate of 2.7173%. (4)Interest is payable semi-annually. The following table is a schedule of future minimum payments of our debt obligations as of March 31, 2021:

Senior Unsecured Notes November 2019 Senior Unsecured Notes On November 26, 2019, the Operating Partnership and the Co-Issuer (together with the Operating Partnership, the “Issuers”), our wholly owned subsidiaries, issued (i) $1,250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.250% 2026 Notes, which mature on December 1, 2026, and (ii) $1,000.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.625% 2029 Notes, which mature on December 1, 2029, under separate indentures, each dated as of November 26, 2019, among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and UMB Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). We used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to repay in full the $1.55 billion mortgage financing of Caesars Palace Las Vegas, and pay certain fees and expenses including the net prepayment penalty of $55.4 million. On January 24, 2020, the remaining net proceeds were used to pay for a portion of the purchase price of the JACK Cleveland/Thistledown Acquisition. Interest on the November 2019 Senior Unsecured Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after December 1, 2022 and December 1, 2024, respectively, at the redemption prices set forth in the respective indenture. We may redeem some or all of the 2026 Notes or the 2029 Notes prior to such respective dates at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium. Prior to December 1, 2022, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes or the 2029 Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the respective indenture. February 2020 Senior Unsecured Notes On February 5, 2020, the Issuers issued (i) $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.500% 2025 Notes, which mature on February 15, 2025, (ii) $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.750% 2027 Notes, which mature on February 15, 2027, and (iii) $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 4.125% 2030 Notes, which mature on August 15, 2030, under separate indentures, each dated as of February 5, 2020, among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and the Trustee. We placed $2.0 billion of the net proceeds of the offering into escrow pending the consummation of the Eldorado Transaction (which was subsequently released from escrow and used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Eldorado Transaction on July 20, 2020), and used the remaining net proceeds from the 2025 Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full the outstanding $498.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes plus the Second Lien Notes Applicable Premium (as defined in the Second Lien Notes indenture), for a total redemption cost of approximately $537.5 million. Interest on the February 2020 Senior Unsecured Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2030 Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 15, 2022, February 15, 2023, and February 15, 2025, respectively, at the redemption prices set forth in the respective indenture. We may redeem some or all of the 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes or 2030 Notes prior to such respective dates at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium. Prior to February 15, 2022, with respect to the 2025 Notes, and February 15, 2023, with respect to the 2027 Notes and 2030 Notes, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes or 2030 Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the respective indenture. Guarantee and Financial Covenants The November 2019 Senior Unsecured Notes and the February 2020 Senior Unsecured Notes (together, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by each existing and future direct and indirect wholly owned material domestic subsidiary of the Operating Partnership that incurs or guarantees certain bank indebtedness or any other material capital market indebtedness, other than certain excluded subsidiaries and the Co-Issuer. The Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries represent our “Real Property Business” segment, with the “Golf Course Business” segment corresponding to the portion of our business operated through entities that are not direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership or obligors of the Senior Unsecured Notes. Refer to Note 14 - Segment Information for more information about our segments. The respective indentures for the Senior Unsecured Notes each contain covenants that limit the Issuers’ and their restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt; (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. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, including the ability to declare or pay any cash dividend or make any cash distribution to VICI to the extent necessary for VICI to fund a dividend or distribution by VICI that it believes is necessary to maintain its status as a REIT or to avoid payment of any tax for any calendar year that could be avoided by reason of such distribution, and the ability to make certain restricted payments not to exceed 95% of our cumulative Funds From Operations (as defined in the Senior Unsecured Notes indentures), plus the aggregate net proceeds from (i) the sale of certain equity interests in, (ii) capital contributions to, and (iii) certain convertible indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2021, the restricted net assets of the Operating Partnership were approximately $8.1 billion. Senior Secured Credit Facilities In December 2017, VICI PropCo entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) comprised of a $2.2 billion Term Loan B Facility and a $400.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (the Term Loan B Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, as amended as discussed below, are referred to together as the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. Upon our initial public offering, on February 5, 2018, the interest rate was reduced to LIBOR plus 2.00%, as contemplated by the Credit Agreement. On May 15, 2019, VICI PropCo, entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which certain lenders agreed to provide VICI PropCo with incremental revolving credit commitments and availability under the revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million on the same terms as VICI PropCo’s previous revolving credit facility under the Revolving Credit Facility. After giving effect to Amendment No. 2, the Credit Agreement, provided total borrowing capacity pursuant to the revolving credit commitments in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. On May 15, 2019, immediately after giving effect to Amendment No. 2, VICI PropCo entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Credit Agreement, which amended and restated the Credit Agreement in its entirety as of May 15, 2019 (as subsequently amended, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, (i) refinance the Revolving Credit Facility in whole with a new class of revolving commitments, (ii) extend the maturity date to May 15, 2024, which represents an extension of the December 22, 2022 maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility, (iii) provide that borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate based on a leverage-based pricing grid with a range of between 1.75% to 2.00% over LIBOR, or between 0.75% and 1.00% over the base rate, in each case depending on our total net debt to adjusted total assets ratio, (iv) provide that the commitment fee payable under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate based on a leverage-based pricing grid with a range of between 0.375% to 0.50% depending on our total net debt to adjusted total assets ratio, (v) amend the existing springing financial covenant, which previously required VICI PropCo to maintain a total net debt to adjusted asset ratio of not more than 0.75 to 1.00 if there was 30% utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility, to require that, only with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ending after the effectiveness of Amendment No. 3, VICI PropCo maintain a maximum total net debt to adjusted asset ratio of not more than 0.65 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter (or, during any fiscal quarter in which certain permitted acquisitions were consummated and the three consecutive fiscal quarters thereafter, not more than 0.70 to 1.00), and (vi) include a new financial covenant only with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, requiring VICI PropCo to maintain, commencing with the first full fiscal quarter after the effectiveness of Amendment No. 3, an interest coverage ratio (defined as EBITDA to interest charges) of not less than 2.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. The Revolving Credit Facility is available to be used for working capital purposes, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions, permitted investments, permitted restricted payments and for other lawful corporate purposes. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for capacity to add incremental loans in an aggregate amount of: (x) $1.2 billion to be used solely to finance certain acquisitions; plus (y) an unlimited amount, subject to VICI Propco not exceeding certain leverage ratios. On January 24, 2020, VICI PropCo entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which, among other things, reduced the interest rate on the Term Loan B Facility from LIBOR plus 2.00% to LIBOR plus 1.75%. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides that, in the event the LIBOR Rate is no longer in effect, a comparable or successor rate approved by the Administrative Agent under such facility shall be utilized, provided that such approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that are consistent with those set forth in the Credit Agreement (except as to the financial covenants described above), which, among other things, limit the ability of VICI PropCo and its restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) merge with a third party or engage in other fundamental changes; (iii) make restricted payments; (iv) enter into, create, incur or assume any liens; (v) make certain sales and other dispositions of assets; (vi) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; (vii) make certain payments on certain other indebtedness; (viii) make certain investments; and (ix) incur restrictions on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make certain distributions, loans or transfers of assets to VICI PropCo or any restricted subsidiary. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, including, with respect to the restricted payments covenant, the ability to make unlimited restricted payments to maintain our REIT status and to avoid the payment of federal or state income or excise tax, the ability to make restricted payments in an amount not to exceed 95% of our Funds from Operations (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) subject to no event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and pro forma compliance with the financial covenant pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and the ability to make additional restricted payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of 0.6% of Adjusted Total Assets or $30.0 million. We are also subject to the financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility, as previously described above. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of VICI PropCo’s and its existing and subsequently acquired wholly owned material domestic restricted subsidiaries’ material assets, including mortgages on their respective real estate, subject to customary exclusions. None of VICI nor certain subsidiaries of VICI PropCo, including CPLV Borrower, are subject to the covenants of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or are guarantors of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Term Loan B Facility may be voluntarily prepaid at VICI PropCo’s option, in whole or in part, at any time, and is subject to mandatory prepayment in the event of receipt by VICI PropCo or any of its restricted subsidiaries of the proceeds from the occurrence of certain events, including asset sales, casualty events and issuance of certain indebtedness. In February 2018, we completed an initial public offering resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion. We used a portion of those proceeds to pay down the $300.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and to repay $100.0 million of the principal amount outstanding on the Term Loan B Facility. Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Term Loan B Facility is subject to amortization of 1.0% of principal per annum payable in equal quarterly installments on the last business day of each calendar quarter. However, as a result of prepaying $100.0 million of the Term Loan B Facility in February 2018, the next principal payment due on the Term Loan B Facility is September 2022. Refer to Note 8 - Derivatives for a discussion of our interest rate swap agreements related to the Term Loan B Facility. Bridge Facilities Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility On March 2, 2021, in connection with the Venetian Acquisition, VICI PropCo entered into a Commitment Letter (the “Venetian Acquisition Commitment Letter”) with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (collectively, the “Venetian Acquisition Bridge Lender”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Lender has provided commitments in an amount up to $4.0 billion in the aggregate, consisting of a 364-day first lien secured bridge facility (the “Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility”), for the purpose of providing a portion of the financing necessary to fund the consideration in connection with the Venetian PropCo Acquisition. The commitment fee is equal to, (i) with respect to any commitments that remain outstanding prior to April 1, 2021, 0.25% of such commitments, (ii) with respect to any commitments that remain outstanding on April 1, 2021 and are terminated prior to March 2, 2022, 0.50% of such commitments, and (iii) with respect to any commitments that remain outstanding after March 2, 2022, 0.75% of such commitments. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we have recognized $2.4 million of fees related to the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility in Interest expense on our Statement of Operations. Commitments and loans under the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility will be reduced or prepaid, as applicable, in part with the proceeds of certain incurrences of indebtedness, issuances of equity and asset sales. If we use the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility, funding is contingent on the satisfaction of certain customary conditions set forth in the Venetian Acquisition Commitment Letter, including, among others, (i) the execution and delivery of definitive documentation with respect to the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility in accordance with the terms set forth in the Venetian Acquisition Commitment Letter and (ii) the consummation of the Venetian Acquisition in accordance with the Purchase Agreements. Although we do not currently expect VICI PropCo to make any borrowings under the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility, there can be no assurance that such borrowings will not be made or that we will be able to incur alternative long-term debt financing in lieu of borrowings under the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility on favorable terms, or at all. Interest under the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility, if funded, will be calculated on a rate between (i) LIBOR plus 200 basis points and LIBOR plus 275 basis points or (ii) the base rate plus 100 basis points and the base rate plus 175 basis points, in each case depending on duration. The Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility, if funded, will contain restrictive covenants and events of default substantially similar to those contained in Senior Secured Credit Facilities. If we draw upon the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility, there can be no assurances that we would be able to refinance the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility on satisfactory terms, or at all. On March 8, 2021, following the entry into the March 2021 Forward Sale Agreements, the commitments under the Venetian Acquisition Bridge Facility were reduced by $1,890.0 million. Eldorado Transaction Bridge Facilities On June 24, 2019, in connection with the Eldorado Transaction, VICI PropCo entered into a commitment letter with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch (collectively, the “Eldorado Transaction Bridge Lender”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Eldorado Transaction Bridge Lender agreed to provide (i) a 364-day first lien secured bridge facility of up to $3.3 billion in the aggregate and (ii) a 364-day second lien secured bridge facility of up to $1.5 billion in the aggregate (collectively the “Eldorado Transaction Bridge Facilities”), for the purpose of providing a portion of the financing necessary to fund the consideration to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Eldorado Transaction documents and related fees and expenses. Following the November 2019 Senior Unsecured Notes offering, the commitments under the Bridge Facilities were reduced by $1.6 billion, to $3.2 billion. Following the February 2020 Senior Unsecured Notes offering, we placed $2.0 billion of the net proceeds of the offering into escrow pending the consummation of the Eldorado Transaction and the commitments under the Bridge Facilities were further reduced by $2.0 billion to $1.2 billion. The Eldorado Transaction Bridge Facilities were subject to a tiered commitment fee based on the period the commitment is outstanding and a structuring fee. The structuring fee was equal to 0.10% of the total aggregate commitments at June 24, 2019 and was payable as such commitments were terminated. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized $2.6 million of fees related to the Eldorado Transaction Bridge Facilities in Interest expense on our Statement of Operations. No such amount was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as the Eldorado Transaction Bridge Facilities were fully terminated at our election in June 2020. Second Lien Notes The Second Lien Notes were issued on October 6, 2017, pursuant to an indenture by and among VICI PropCo and its wholly owned subsidiary, VICI FC Inc., the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and UMB Bank National Association, as trustee. On February 20, 2020, we used a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full the Second Lien Notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes then outstanding plus the Second Lien Notes Applicable Premium (as defined in the Second Lien Notes indenture), for a total redemption cost of $537.5 million. In connection with the full redemption, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $39.1 million during three months ended March 31, 2020. Financial Covenants As described above, our debt obligations are subject to certain customary financial and protective covenants that restrict the Operating Partnership, VICI PropCo and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, sell certain asset and restrict certain payments, among other things. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, including the ability to make restricted payments to maintain our REIT status. At March 31, 2021, we are in compliance with all financial covenants under our debt obligations.
