Ladies and Gentlemen:
MGM Resorts International, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Tracinda Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Selling Stockholder”), each confirms its agreement with Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays” or the “Underwriter”), with respect to the sale of an aggregate of 68,682,000 shares (the “Initial Securities”) of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”). Of the 68,682,000 shares of the Initial Securities, 40,900,000 shares of Common Stock are being sold by the Company and 27,782,000 shares of Common Stock are being sold by the Selling Stockholder. The Underwriter (i) is purchasing all of the Initial Securities being sold hereunder and (ii) with respect to the grant by the Company and the Selling Stockholder to the Underwriter of the option described in Section 3(b) hereof, has the right to purchase all or any part of 10,302,300 additional shares of Common Stock to cover overallotments, if any. The aforesaid 68,682,000 shares of Initial Securities to be purchased by the Underwriter and all or any part of the 10,302,300 shares of Common Stock subject to the option described in Section 3(b) hereof (the “Option Securities”) are hereinafter called, collectively, the “Securities.”
The Company and the Selling Stockholder understand that the Underwriter proposes to make a public offering of the Securities as soon as the Underwriter deems advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-158956), including a related base prospectus, relating to the registration of debt and common stock of the Company (the “Shelf Securities”), including the Securities, which registration statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the rules and regulations of the Commission (the “1933 Act Regulations”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Such registration statement, at any given time, including the amendments thereto to such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto at such time, the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at such time and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by 1933 Act Regulations, including any required information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) of the 1933 Act Regulations is herein called the “Registration Statement” and the related prospectus covering the Shelf Securities included in the Registration Statement at any given time, including the amendments thereto at such time, is herein called the “Basic Prospectus.”
The Registration Statement at the time it originally became effective is herein called the “Original Registration Statement.”
The Company has prepared, filed and delivered to the Underwriter, copies of a preliminary prospectus supplement dated October 12, 2010 in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations (together with the Basic Prospectus (to the extent not superseded or modified), the “Preliminary Prospectus”), and has provided to the Underwriter the information set forth on Schedule A-1 hereto (the “Pricing Information”), each for use by the Underwriter in connection with its solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities. The Preliminary Prospectus and the Pricing Information, together with the other Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses (as defined below), if any, identified on Schedule A-2 hereto and any other free writing prospectus (as defined below) that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Pricing Disclosure Package, are herein referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure Package”. All references herein to the terms “Pricing Disclosure Package” shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) or the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1934 Act (the “1934 Act Regulations”), prior to the Applicable Time and incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package. “Applicable Time” means 9:00 am (Eastern time) on October 13, 2010 or such other time as agreed by the Company and the Underwriter.
Promptly after the Applicable Time (as defined above), the Company will prepare and deliver to the Underwriter a final prospectus supplement dated the date hereof. The Basic Prospectus (to the extent not superseded or modified) together with the final prospectus supplement in the form first furnished to the Underwriter for use in connection with the offering of the Securities is herein referred to as the “Prospectus”.
For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations and “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus” means any issuer free writing prospectus, as defined in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations, relating to the Securities in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g).
All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which are incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act Regulations to be a part of or included in the applicable document; and all references herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment,” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, any free writing prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act Regulations on or before such time and incorporated by reference therein.
SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Underwriter as of the date hereof, the Applicable Time and as of
-2-
the Closing Time as follows (references in this Section 1 to the “Prospectus” apply only in the case of representations and warranties made as of the Closing Time):
(a) Status as a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (A) At the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment to the Registration Statement for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) made any offer relating to the Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 163”) and (D) at the date hereof, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 405”), including not having been and not being an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined in Rule 405, and the Securities, since their registration on the Registration Statement, have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on a Rule 405 “automatic shelf registration statement.” The Company has not received from the Commission any notice, including pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations, objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.
At the time of filing the Original Registration Statement, at the earliest time thereafter that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations) of the Securities and at the date hereof, the Company was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405, including the Company or any other subsidiary in the preceding three years not having been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor or having been made the subject of a judicial or administrative decree or order as described in Rule 405.
(b) Registration Statement, Prospectus and Disclosure at Time of Sale. The Original Registration Statement became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) of the 1933 Act Regulations (“Rule 462(e)”) on May 1, 2009, and any post-effective amendment thereto also became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e). No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been complied with.
Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Securities made prior to the filing of the Original Registration Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) of the 1933 Act Regulations) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 163 and otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163, including, without limitation, the legending requirement, to qualify such offer for the exemption from Section 5(c) of the 1933 Act provided by Rule 163.
At the time the Registration Statement became effective (including, without limitation, the effective dates of any amendments thereto and each deemed effective date with respect to the
-3-
Underwriter pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) of the 1933 Act Regulations), as of the Applicable Time and at the Closing Time, the Registration Statement complied or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, and did not and will not, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and neither the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time and at the Closing Time, nor the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto, as of its date, and at the Closing Time, included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this section shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement, Pricing Disclosure Package or Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, Pricing Disclosure Package or Prospectus, as applicable (it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof).
The Preliminary Prospectus and the prospectus or prospectuses filed as part of the Original Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and the Prospectus when filed complied when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations, the Prospectus when filed will comply when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations and each such prospectus delivered to the Underwriter for use in connection with this offering was, and the Prospectus when so delivered will be, identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T of the Commission (“Regulation S-T”).
Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (including any electronic road show), as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Underwriter as described in Section 4(e) hereof, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any preliminary or other prospectus deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use therein (it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof).
(c) Independent Accountants. The accountants who certified the financial statements and supporting schedules included in the Registration Statement are independent public accountants within the meaning of Rule 101 of the Code of Professional Conduct of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and its interpretations and rulings thereunder.

(d) Company’s Accounting System. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries, as hereinafter defined, maintain a system of accounting controls that is in compliance with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act (as defined below) and is sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States (“GAAP”) and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
(e) Financial Statements. The financial statements, together with the related notes, included in the Registration Statement and the Pricing Disclosure Package, and the financial statements, together with the related notes, included in the Prospectus, present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial positions of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of their operations for the periods specified; except as otherwise stated in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as applicable, said financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis; the supporting schedules present fairly the information required to be stated therein; and the Company’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges (actual and, if any, pro forma) included in the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Package have in each case been calculated in compliance with Item 503(d) of Regulation S-K of the Commission. The selected historical financial data and summary financial information, if any, included in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus present fairly, in all material respects, the information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements included in the Registration Statement. Except as set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, respectively, the historical consolidated financial statements together with the notes thereto forming part of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements applicable to financial statements of the Company required to be included in registration statements on Form S-3 under the 0000 Xxx. The statistical and market related data and forward-looking statements contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable at the time made. All disclosures contained in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Commission) comply with Regulation G under the 1934 Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Commission. As used herein, “subsidiaries” has the meaning ascribed thereto in Regulation S-X under the 1933 Act.

(h) Good Standing of the Company. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Pricing Disclosure Package and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(i) Good Standing of Designated Subsidiaries. Each of the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule B hereto (collectively, the “Company Subsidiaries” and, individually, each a “Company Subsidiary”) has been duly incorporated or formed and is validly existing as a corporation, limited liability company, general partnership or limited partnership in good standing under the laws of its state or other jurisdiction of incorporation or formation. Each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation, limited liability company, general partnership or limited partnership in each jurisdiction in which the character or location of its assets or property (owned, leased or licensed) or the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not control, directly or indirectly, any corporation, partnership, joint venture, association or other business organization other than the Company Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding capital stock or other ownership interests, as the case may be, of each Company Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, and are owned by the Company (with respect to ownership only, with the exception of MGM Grand Detroit, LLC (including its subsidiaries), MGM Grand (Macau) Limited and MGM MIRAGE Hospitality Development (LLC) (Dubai) (in which the Company has approximately a 97%, 89.99% and 99% interest, respectively)), directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity, other than the liens provided for under the Company’s 13.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2013, 10.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2014, 11.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 and 9.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2020.

(j) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a 15 and 15d-15 under the 1934 Act); such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries is made known to the chief executive
-6-
officer and chief financial officer of the Company by others within the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably effective to perform the functions for which they were established subject to the limitations of any such control system; the Company’s auditors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company have been advised of: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the Company’s internal controls; and since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Except to the extent disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus with respect to the placement of restrictions on the transfer of and the entering into agreements not to encumber the Company’s interests in certain Company Subsidiaries licensed or registered under the Nevada Gaming Laws, the Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries have fulfilled and performed in all material respects all of their respective obligations with respect to such authorizations, approvals, consents, orders, licenses, certificates and permits, and neither the Company, nor any Company Subsidiary is in violation of any term or provision of any such authorizations, approvals, consents, orders, licenses, certificates or permits, nor has any event occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or which could result in any material impairment of the rights of the holder thereof. To
-7-
the knowledge of the Company and any of the Company Subsidiaries, no (i) governmental or regulatory body is considering modifying, limiting, conditioning, suspending, revoking or not renewing any such authorizations, approvals, consents, orders, licenses, certificates or permits of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (other than immaterial modifications, limitations and conditions arising in connection with licensing) and (ii) governmental or regulatory bodies are investigating the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or related parties (other than normal oversight reviews by such bodies incident to the licensure, gaming activities and casino management activities of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries).
(m) Non-Contravention. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is (i) in violation of its charter, bylaws, partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, or (ii) in default in the performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary is subject except in the case of clause (ii) for any violation or default which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (other than as expressly contemplated thereby) any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary pursuant to, any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary is subject, except for such conflicts, breaches or defaults which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or bylaws, partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any applicable law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree.
(n) Absence of Labor Dispute. No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent, and the Company is not aware of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of its or any Company Subsidiary’s principal suppliers, manufacturers or contractors, which, in either case, may reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company and its subsidiaries has violated (i) any federal, state or local law or foreign law relating to discrimination in hiring, promotion or pay of employees, (ii) any applicable wage or hour laws or (iii) any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder (“ERISA”), which in any such event could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) ERISA Compliance. Except as otherwise disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and to the knowledge of the Company, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and any “employee benefit plan” (as defined under ERISA) established or maintained by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their ERISA Affiliates
-8-
(as defined below) are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA. “ERISA Affiliate” means, with respect to the Company or a subsidiary, any member of any group of organizations described in Section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “Code,” which term, as used herein, includes the regulations and published interpretations thereunder) of which the Company or such subsidiary is a member.
(p) Absence of Proceedings. There is no action, suit or proceeding, before or by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any Company Subsidiary which has not been disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the properties or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; the aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or of which any of their respective property or assets is the subject which are not described in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, would not, considered in the aggregate, if adversely determined reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and there are no contracts or documents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary which have not been filed or included in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, which could, through breach, termination or by execution of their terms, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company and the Company Subsidiaries own, have incidental rights to or possess the right to use to the extent necessary in their businesses, or can acquire on reasonable terms, the patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures), trademarks, service marks and trade names (collectively, “proprietary rights”) presently employed by them in connection with the business now operated by them, and neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received any notice or is otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any proprietary rights, or of any facts which would render any proprietary rights invalid or inadequate to protect the interest of the Company or any Company Subsidiary therein, and which infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or inadequacy, individually or in the aggregate, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(r) Title to Properties. Except as disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries has good title to all the properties and assets reflected as owned on the financial statements referred to in Section 1(e) hereof or elsewhere in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, in each case free and clear of any security interests, mortgages, liens, encumbrances, equities, claims and other defects, except such as do not materially and adversely affect the value of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company or such Company Subsidiary, where such interference would materially and adversely affect the Company and the
-9-
Company Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise. The real property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease by the Company or any Company Subsidiary are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements, equipment or personal property by the Company or such Company Subsidiary, except where such interference would not materially and adversely affect the Company and the Company Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(s) No Authorization. No authorization, approval or consent of any court or governmental authority or agency is necessary in connection with the offering, issuance or sale of the Securities, other than as required under Gaming Laws and which have been obtained, except to the extent disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus with respect to the placement of restrictions on the transfer of and the entering into agreements not to encumber the Company’s interests in certain Company Subsidiaries licensed or registered under the Nevada Gaming Laws, and except such as may be required under the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations or state securities laws.

(u) Authorization and Description of Securities. The Securities to be issued and sold by the Company to the Underwriter hereunder have been duly authorized for issuance and sale to the Underwriter pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement against payment of the consideration set forth herein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; the Common Stock conforms to all statements relating thereto contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and such description conforms to the rights set forth in the instruments defining the same; no holder of the Securities will be subject to personal liability by reason of being such a holder; and, other than the anti-dilution right pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase and Support agreement dated August 21, 2007 between the Company and Infinity World Investments, LLC as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the issuance of the Securities is not subject to the preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company.

The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment. The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) (i) of the 1933 Act Regulations
-17-
without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the 1933 Act Regulations.
(b) Amendments. The Company will give the Underwriter prompt notice of its intention to file or prepare any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus or any prospectus included in the Original Registration Statement or amendment thereto at the time it became effective or to the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, will furnish the Underwriter with copies of any such amendment or supplement a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file any such amendment or supplement or use any such Prospectus to which the Underwriter or counsel for the Underwriter shall reasonably object.
(c) Delivery of Registration Statement. The Company will deliver to the Underwriter as many signed copies of the Original Registration Statement and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof) as the Underwriter may reasonably request and will also deliver to the Underwriter a conformed copy of the Original Registration Statement and of each amendment thereto (without exhibits) for each of the Underwriter. The copies of the Original Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriter will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(d) Prospectus; Delivery of Prospectus. As promptly as practicable following the Applicable Time and in any event not later than the second business day following the date hereof, the Company will prepare and deliver to the Underwriter the Prospectus, which shall consist of the Preliminary Prospectus as modified only by the Pricing Information.

The Company will promptly notify the Underwriter and confirm each such notice in writing, of any material changes in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, or the results of operations, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise which (i) make any statement in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus false or misleading in any material respect or (ii) if not disclosed in either the
-18-
Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus would constitute a material omission therefrom. The Company will comply with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus. If at any time when a prospectus is required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of the Company, its counsel, the Underwriter or counsel for the Underwriter, to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include any untrue statements of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or to file a new registration statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 4(b), such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement, such new registration statement or the Prospectus comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Underwriter such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriter may reasonably request. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus supplement relating to the Securities or the Prospectus or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriter and, subject to Section 4(j), will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.
(f) Qualification of Securities for Offer and Sale. The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the Underwriter, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Underwriter may designate; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign entity. In each jurisdiction in which the Securities have been so qualified, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to continue such qualification in effect for a period of not less than one year from the Applicable Time.
(g) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities in conformity with the uses set forth in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
(h) Reporting Requirements. The Company, until the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement and the Prospectus, will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations. The Company will timely file such
-19-
reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement as defined in Rule 158 for the purposes of, and to provide the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.
(i) Restriction on Sale of Securities. During a period of 60 days from the date of the Prospectus, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of Barclays, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise dispose of or transfer any share of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock or file, or cause to be filed, any registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any of the foregoing or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) the Securities to be sold hereunder, (B) any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof and referred to in the Prospectus, (C) any shares of Common Stock issued or options to purchase or receive Common Stock granted pursuant to existing employee benefit plans of the Company referred to in the Prospectus, (D) any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan or (E) the anti-dilution right pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase and Support Agreement dated August 21, 2007 between the Company and Infinity World Investments, LLC.
(j) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Underwriter, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a free writing prospectus required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Underwriter is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, the Company has promptly notified or will promptly notify the Underwriter and has promptly amended or supplemented or will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict.
The Underwriter may, in its sole discretion, waive in writing the performance by the Company of any one or more of the foregoing covenants or extend the time for their performance.

(b) Indemnification of Underwriter by the Selling Stockholder. The Selling Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Underwriter, (ii) each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, affiliates and agents of the Underwriter or any person referenced in clause (ii), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim, which expenses shall be paid as incurred) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof (including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B or Rule 430C of the 1933 Act Regulations), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus (including the Preliminary Prospectus), the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Underwriter through the Underwriter expressly for use therein (it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by an Underwriter consists of the information described in Section 8(g)); provided that the Selling Stockholder shall be liable only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with the Selling Stockholder
-27-
Information. The liability of the Selling Stockholder under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section shall be limited to an amount equal to the total gross proceeds from the offering of the Securities purchased under the Agreement received by the Selling Stockholder, as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus.
(c) Indemnification of Company and Selling Stockholder. The Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Company and the Selling Stockholder, (ii) each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Stockholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, affiliates and agents of the Company, the Selling Stockholder or person referenced in clause (ii) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity in Section 8(a) from the Company to the Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to the Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Underwriter through the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus (including the Preliminary Prospectus), the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by an Underwriter consists of the information described as such in this Section 8(g)).
(d) Indemnification Procedures. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a), 8(b) or 8(c), such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the person from whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (provided that failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement) and the Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a) above, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b) above. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at
-28-
any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested an Indemnifying Party to reimburse the Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the first and second sentences of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(e) Contribution. To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a), 8(b) of 8(c) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by Section 8(e)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 8(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Price to Public of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Stockholder or by the Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriter’s respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Securities they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(f) The Company, the Selling Stockholder and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriter was treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(e). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be
-29-
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not liable for any of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity. The obligations of the Underwriter to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder, and not joint.
(g) It is understood and agreed that the only information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus: the first sentence of the second paragraph under “Commissions and Expenses” and the first sentence of the first paragraph under “Stabilization and Short Positions,” in each case under the caption “Underwriting.”
SECTION 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements, including indemnity and contribution provisions, contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company or the Selling Stockholder submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company or the Selling Stockholder, and shall survive delivery of the Securities to the Underwriter.
SECTION 10. Termination of Agreement.
(a) Termination; General. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice given by the Underwriter to the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Time (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex Equities or FINRA, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, is material and adverse or (v) there has been, since the date hereof or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus or the Pricing Disclosure Package, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of operations, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in Sections 8(a)(i) through 8(a)(iv), such event, singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in the sole judgment of the Underwriter, impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in
-30-
the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 6 hereof. Notwithstanding any such termination, the provisions of Section 8 shall remain in effect.

| Re: | Proposed Offering by MGM Resorts International |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned, a stockholder [and an officer and/or director] of MGM Resorts International, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), understands that Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) propose(s) to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) of shares (the “Securities”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”). In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon the undersigned as a stockholder [and an officer and/or director] of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with Barclays that, during a period of 60 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Barclays, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer (collectively, “transfer”) any shares of the Company’s Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any of the Lock-up Securities, or file, or cause to be filed, any registration statement in connection therewith, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise (each, an “Economic Transfer”); provided, however, that the undersigned may transfer its, or enter into Economic Transfers of, Lock-Up Securities so long as either (i) the purchaser or acquiror agrees to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement or (ii) the Transfer or Economic Transfer is not consummated until a date following the Lock-Up Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer the Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of Barclays, provided that (1) with respect to any transfers described under clauses (i), (iii), (v) or (vi), Barclays receives a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period from each donee, trustee,
distributee, or transferee, as the case may be and (2) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value:
| (i) | as a bona fide gift or gifts, including to a charitable organization; or |
| (ii) | shares of Common Stock sold under any Rule 10b5-1 trading plan existing prior to the date hereof; or |
| (iii) | to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); or |
| (iv) | shares of Common Stock surrendered to the Company in payment of taxes due upon vesting or exercise of equity based awards; or |
| (v) | as a distribution to limited partners or stockholders of the undersigned; or |
| (vi) | to the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned; or |
| (vii) | shares of Common Stock sold to fund estate or other tax obligations related to the exercise of options or other similar compensatory arrangements; or |
| (viii) | by will or under the laws of descent. |
Furthermore, the undersigned may (i) sell shares of Common Stock of the Company purchased by the undersigned on the open market following the Public Offering, and (ii) exercise any outstanding options or other similar rights issued under compensatory arrangements which expire during the Lock-Up Period and sell any shares of common stock received in connection with that exercise, as part of a cashless exercise or otherwise.
The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
