4.3 Pre-Opening Budget. Manager has prepared and submitted to Owner the Pre-Opening Budget, which has been approved pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement; provided, however, it is understood and agreed that changes in development plans, business plans, market conditions, general economic conditions and other unforeseen circumstances may make adherence to the Pre-Opening Budget impractical or impossible, and such Manager shall be entitled to depart from the Pre-Opening Budget and incur Pre-Opening Expenses in excess of the Pre-Opening Budget without DW Member’s approval to the extent any such departure does not constitute a Major Decision. Such Manager shall notify Owner promptly of any substantial change to the Pre-Opening Budget and shall provide all information in relation to such changes as Owner may reasonably request Furthermore, if the Resort Hotel and Casino Opening Date is delayed from the originally projected dates (other than a delay caused by Manager), the Pre-Opening Budget shall be revised to reflect any increases in Pre-Opening Expenses caused by such delay after consultation with and approval by Owner in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement (or by DW Member, as may be required by the Joint Venture Agreement). Increased Pre-Opening Expenses may include, as applicable, all out-of-pocket cancellation penalties if Manager cancels reservations made for guestrooms, meeting rooms, and other areas as a result of such delay; provided, however, that in the event that such delay is caused by a breach of the Development Management Agreement by the Development Manager, such increase in Pre-Opening Expenses resulting from such out-of-pocket cancellation penalties shall be deemed an Operating Expense in calculating EBITDAM and the corresponding Incentive Management Fee for the first Operating Year.

4.4 Funding of Pre-Opening Expenses. Other than as set forth in Section 4.3, Pre-Opening Expenses incurred in accordance with this ARTICLE 4 shall be borne solely by Owner as a capital expense and shall not be classified as an Operating Expense. To facilitate the funding of Pre-Opening Expenses, Owner shall maintain a bank account or, at its option, line of credit with an insured bank designated by Owner and approved by the Managers. Owner shall ensure that the bank account or line of credit may be drawn upon for Pre-Opening Expenses by the Managers acting alone and shall ensure that, subject to Section 4.3 hereof, sufficient funds or line of credit are available to pay for the Pre-Opening Expenses, including reimbursement to Managers for any Pre-Opening

Expenses paid by the Managers. The terms of the bank account or line of credit and any amendments thereto will be in form and substance approved by Owner and Managers, and will expressly provide that, during the period in which Pre-Opening Services are being provided, no instruction by Owner terminating, diminishing or otherwise materially and adversely affecting the Managers’ right to draw funds will be effective without the Managers’ prior written approval. Subject to Section 4.3 hereof, the Managers will be entitled at any time or from time to time to draw cash from the bank account or under the line of credit in any amount required to pay the Pre-Opening Expenses in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, Pre-Opening Expenses incurred or paid by the Managers shall be promptly reimbursed to the Managers from such account or line of credit, and the Managers shall provide a statement of account to Owner for such Pre-Opening Expenses reimbursed to a Manager. If following the Resort Hotel and Casino Opening Date, there are outstanding Pre-Opening Expenses which have not been paid, the Managers shall be entitled to withdraw such amounts (plus interest thereon if such Pre-Opening Expenses were paid by a Manager) from the Operating Account.

4.5 Monthly Statements. Each Manager shall submit to Owner a monthly statement during the period of the Pre-Opening Services until the Resort Hotel and Casino Opening Date, which report shall include a statement of all Pre-Opening Expenses incurred by a Manager during the prior calendar month.

ARTICLE 7

PERSONNEL

7.1 Hiring of the CityCenter Project Manager. General Manager, each Manager and Resort Hotel and Casino Operator shall consult with Owner in advance of the hiring (or re-hiring) of the CityCenter Project Manager and the President of the Resort Hotel and Casino, respectively, and the hiring of the CityCenter Project Manager and the President of the Resort Hotel and Casino, respectively, shall be subject to Owner’s approval or disapproval. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the current titles of such individuals, the intent of this provision is to vest in Owner the ability to approve or disapprove of those individuals serving, now or at any time in the future, in the capacity as a Chairman or Chief Executive Officer of each of the CityCenter Project and the Resort Hotel and Casino with executive control and decision authority. Accordingly, prior to appointing any CityCenter Project Manager or any President of the Resort Hotel and Casino, General Manager or the Resort Hotel and Casino Operator, as applicable, shall provide Owner with a written summary of the candidate’s professional experience and qualifications, and offer Owner the opportunity to interview such candidate at a mutually acceptable location. Owner shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of any such candidate. The foregoing notwithstanding, as of the Effective Date, Owner has approved Messrs. Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx X. XxXxxxx as the CityCenter Project Manager and the President of the Resort Hotel and Casino, respectively. The CityCenter Project Manager shall be an employee of the General Manager (or, at General Manager’s election, an Affiliate of the General Manager). In addition to the approval with respect to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer functions, Owner shall be permitted the opportunity to review the credentials and selections made with respect to the executive teams of such individuals at such time as a successor to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx or Xxxxxxx X. XxXxxxx is designated.

7.2 Hiring of Personnel. The Managers shall provide all Personnel, and shall have full control and authority over such Personnel. Each Manager shall use reasonable procedures and standards in the selection of each person employed at a Component or to whom the foregoing duties or any of them shall be delegated. All Personnel (including, but not limited to, the CityCenter Project Manager) shall be employees of a Manager. Each Manager shall abide by all Legal Requirements applicable to Personnel and shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Personnel to abide by all Legal Requirements. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the respective Project Budget, each Manager shall have the exclusive right to: (i) establish and modify from time to time any and all Compensation, including all plans related thereto; and (ii) determine all matters with regard to such Personnel and laborers, including, without limitation, replacement of such Personnel and laborers. For the avoidance of doubt, Owner shall not have the right to, under any circumstances, direct or otherwise exert any authority or control over any Personnel or, other than as set forth in Section 7.1, approve the hiring or dismissal of any Personnel, and all decisions relating to the employment of such Personnel, including (without limitation) the transfer and dismissal of such Personnel, shall be made by the Manager.

7.3 Compensation of Personnel. The Compensation of Personnel shall be an Operating Expense of the corresponding Component, shall be the responsibility of Owner, and may be paid for by a Manager from the Operating Accounts for the Component. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Operating Accounts are insufficient to reimburse such Compensation, Owner shall be obligated to fund the aggregate Compensation with respect to each payroll period. The Compensation shall not include any form of corporate or other overhead or general and administrative allocation on behalf of any Personnel. During any Operating Year, pursuant to this Agreement and in connection with all Project Agreements, it being understood that this limitation applies to the entire CityCenter Project, Manager shall not have the right to designate (i) more than fifty (50) individuals as Other Personnel; or (ii) more than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) in base salary for Other Personnel in any Operating Year, in each case without obtaining Owner’s prior written approval. The Other Personnel shall be held to the same standard of responsibility and duty of care with respect to the Operating Standard as all Personnel. The Managers under this Agreement, and the “Operator” under the Vdara Condo-Hotel Management Agreement and the “Managers” under the Crystals Retail Management Agreement, shall further ensure that designation of Other

Personnel shall not cause any undue delay in the performance of such Other Personnel’s performance of their duties, or increased cost or expense or other prejudice to the operation of the Resort Hotel and Casino. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Compensation paid to the CityCenter Project Manager, (other than Compensation paid to Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, which Compensation shall not be allocated to Owner) shall be an Operating Expense of the Components as allocated on an equitable basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the aforementioned concept in this Section 7.3 shall be cumulative across the Project Agreements.

7.4 Personnel Information. To the extent not otherwise prohibited by Legal Requirements, upon request of Owner from time to time, each Manager shall make available for inspection by Owner, (i) copies of all employee policies and procedures, including, without limitation, copies of employee manuals and handbooks in effect at each Component; and (ii) employee job classifications for each Component, number of employees in each job classification, job descriptions (if applicable), pay scales and benefits provided to each job classification.

In addition to the foregoing, the Resort Hotel and Casino Operator shall use and be subject to the standard of care set forth in Section 3.3 in its negotiation and execution of all agreements with all labor unions and other collective bargaining agreements (which standard of care shall include, but shall not be limited to, negotiating and executing agreements for the CityCenter Project that treat employees of Managers in a manner generally consistent with the treatment of employees of other similarly sized and class Operator Group Hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada). Finally, Resort Hotel and Casino Operator shall notify Owner promptly of any material defaults under collective bargaining agreements, proceedings involving material union disputes and other similar proceedings and otherwise provide DW Member the same level of information and protection provided to DW Member in the negotiation of new agreements as provided in the proviso of the first sentence of this Section 7.5

PROJECT BUDGET

8.1 Submission and Approval of Project Budget.

8.1.1 Preparation of Proposed Project Budget. Prior to the beginning of each Operating Year, each Manager shall submit the Project Budget for its respective Component (other than with respect to any Component, including the Hotel Assets, for which a third party manager is obligated to provide a budget with respect to such Component) to Owner for its review and written approval (subject to DW Member’s rights pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement). Each Manager shall act reasonably and exercise prudent business judgment in preparing each proposed Project Budget. Each proposed Project Budget shall include sufficient details, with respect to an estimate of costs and expenses, revenue and profit, and a marketing budget, as may be requested or required by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, each Project Budget shall provide a forecast of capital expenditures anticipated for the respective Component during the one year subsequent to the subject Operating Year for informational purposes only, so that Owner can reasonably anticipate the subsequent year’s potential expenditure, but Managers shall be bound to their respective Project Budget for any given Operating Year only.

8.1.2 Approval by Owner. Subject to and consistent with the protocols for the timing, review and completion of the Project Budget as mandated by the Joint Venture Agreement, Owner shall have the right to

review and approve or disapprove of the proposed Project Budget and shall advise each Manager in writing of any objections to the respective Project Budget as required by and consistent with the Joint Venture Agreement.

8.1.3 Resolution or Owner Objections Regarding Budget. At any time prior to the day which is sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of each Operating Year, if Owner and Manager have not resolved any objections to the applicable Project Budget as set forth in Section 8.1.2, then any such dispute shall be governed by, and resolved in accordance with, the Joint Venture Agreement.

8.1.4 Interim Period. If the Project Budget for a Component has not been entirely approved by the beginning of the Operating Year to which it pertains, then pending such approval, the following items shall be addressed as follows:

(a) insurance, taxes, common charges, utilities, debt service, labor expenses and required capital expenditures (necessary to comply with any Legal Requirements or existing contractual obligations) shall each be adjusted to actual amounts,

(b) all capital and non-recurring items (other than the aforesaid required expenditures) for the current calendar year in such Project Budget shall remain the same as in the expiring Project Budget, and

(c) all other expense line items shall be adjusted by an amount equal to the CPI Annual Percentage Increase (as hereinafter defined) as of the date of the expiring Project Budget. The line items in the Project Budget have been approved by Owner shall replace the applicable line items in the prior Project Budget. The “CPI Annual Percentage Increase” computed as of a particular calendar month shall be equal to the percentage difference between the CPI for such calendar month and the CPI for the calendar month which is twelve (12) months prior to such calendar month. With respect to the Project Budget, such Manager shall operate the respective Component in accordance with the items or portions of the Project Budget which have not been objected to by Owner and, with respect to the items or portions of the operation budget which have been objected to by Owner, a Manager shall operate the respective Component in accordance with the previous Operating Year’s Project Budget, with suitable adjustments of rates and expenses as dictated by increases in the CPI and other expenses outside the control of such Manager (e.g. utilities, taxes and insurance) adjusted to actual amounts.

8.1.5 Compliance with Project Budget. Each Manager shall use all reasonable efforts to act in accordance with the Project Budget (as modified by any subsequent changes agreed between Owner and the Manager) for the corresponding Operating Year. However, it is understood that each Project Budget is an estimate only and that inflation, currency fluctuation, general market conditions, changes in business plans and strategies and unforeseen circumstances may make adherence to the Project Budget impracticable, and each Manager shall be entitled to depart from it due to any such circumstances. Each Manager shall promptly notify and consult with Owner regarding any substantial change from the Project Budget for the respective Component, and to make any necessary adjustments to the Project Budget as Owner and Resort Hotel and Casino Operator shall agree in light of unforeseen circumstances. Furthermore, Owner acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(a) With respect to the Resort Hotel and Casino, certain expenses provided for in the Project Budget for any Operating Year will vary based on the occupancy and use of the Resort Hotel and Casino and, accordingly, to the extent that occupancy and use of the Resort Hotel and Casino for any Operating Year exceeds the occupancy and use projected in the approved Project Budget for such Operating Year, such approved Project Budget shall be deemed to include corresponding increases in such variable expenses; provided, however, a Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Operating Expenses to the extent that occupancy and use of the Resort Hotel and Casino for any Operating Year is less than the occupancy and use projected in the approved Project Budget for such Operating Year;

(b) Each Manager shall have the right to pay from its respective Operating Accounts all Uncontrollable Expenses; provided, however, each Manager hereby covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts throughout the Term to manage, whenever reasonably possible, the Uncontrollable Expenses related to its respective Component and the operation thereof (including, by way of example, contesting, when reasonable appropriate, the amount and/or imposition of taxes);

(c) If any expenditures are required on an emergency basis to avoid damage to a Component and/or injury to persons or property, each Manager may make such expenditures; provided, however, in connection with any expenditure required on an emergency basis that was not specifically contemplated in the Project Budget, such Manager shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Owner prior to the time that the expenditures in question are made and shall in any event notify Owner as soon as reasonably possible after such expenditures are made, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the expenditures made without Owner’s approval, and (iii) to the extent possible, cooperate with Owner to develop a strategy for responding to the emergency in a reasonable and prudent, but cost-efficient manner (i.e. in a manner that will minimize to the extent reasonably possible the expenses to Owner in responding to the subject emergency); and

(d) If any expenditures are required to comply with any Legal Requirement or to cure or prevent any violation thereof, each Manager may make such expenditures.

If any repairs or Capital Improvements shall be made necessary by any condition against the occurrence of which the builder of any renovation or construction or any supplier of labor or materials for such Component or any other party has provided a guaranty or warranty, then the respective Manager shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such guaranty or warranty, and Owner will reasonably cooperate with such Manager in such efforts.

9.7 Replacement Reserve Fund.

9.7.1 Use. Withdrawals from the Replacement Reserve Fund shall only be used for the purposes provided for in this Agreement, including Capital Improvements (i) set forth in the approved Project Budget, or (ii) approved by Owner in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with Section 9.4, structural repairs and purchase of Equipment and shall only be made in accordance with the approved Project Budget or as otherwise expressly authorized in this Agreement or by Owner in writing. Additionally, withdrawals from the Replacement Reserve Fund shall only require (or be permitted upon) the signature of the respective Manager pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The items of Equipment so replaced or added and paid for by Owner or from such Replacement Reserve Fund shall be and become, forthwith upon acquisition and installation, and without further act or action, the property of Owner and part of the respective Component. Any amounts remaining in the Replacement Reserve Fund at the termination or expiration of the Term shall, after all other payments required under this Agreement have been made, be immediately returned by each Manager to Owner.

9.7.2 Estimates and Additional Contributions. Owner acknowledges and agrees that the Replacement Reserve Amount for the Replacement Reserve Fund is an estimate based upon Resort Hotel and Casino Operator’s prior experience with hotels and casinos. As a Component ages, these percentages may not be sufficient to keep such Replacement Reserve Fund at the levels necessary to make the replacements and renewals to such Component’s Equipment, or to maintain and repair the Component in accordance with the Operating Standard. If the aggregate amount for Equipment in the approved Project Budget for an Operating Year exceeds the available funds in the Replacement Reserve Fund, Owner and General Manager or Manager, as appropriate, shall consult to mutually:

(a) agree upon any increase in the annual Replacement Reserve Amount to provide the additional funds required; or

(b) agree upon the deposit of additional funds required; or

(c) solicit outside financing for the additional funds required to the extent deemed desirable by Owner. General Manager and Manager acknowledge, however, that Owner has no duty or obligation to fund such amounts from sources other than the Gross Revenue of the respective Component.

9.8 Funds Request. If at any time a Manager reasonably determines that (i) the available funds in the Operating Accounts for the corresponding Component are insufficient to allow for the uninterrupted and efficient operation of any such Component in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Working Capital is less than the amount required under Section 9.1, (iii) the available funds in the Replacement Reserve Fund are insufficient to allow for the payment of all Capital Improvements and structural repairs and purchase of Equipment approved in the applicable Project Budget for such Operating Year, or (iv) such Manager requires funds for any Capital Improvements approved by Owner in the Project Budget, such Manager shall notify Owner in writing of the existence and amount of the shortfall, which written notice shall include a reasonably detailed explanation of the need for the funds so requested. Upon concurrence by the Members under the Joint Venture Agreement of the request from Manager for additional funds, Owner shall deposit into the corresponding Operating Accounts or Replacement Reserve Fund, as applicable, such funds agreed to be funded by Owner within a reasonable time following the Members’ approval of any such funds.

9.9 Alternative Sources of Working Capital, Replacement Reserves and Payment of Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.8, in the event that funds are not adequate from the revenues generated by any Component subject to this Agreement to pay for the routine Capital Improvements, to fund Working Capital, or to pay Operating Expenses as set forth in the approved Project Budget for such Component, then after written approval from Owner, Manager may move or exchange existing amounts held in a Replacement Reserve Fund or Operating Account for a specified Component from a fully funded Replacement Reserve Fund or Operating Account to an under-funded Replacement Reserve Fund or Operating Account. All such determinations shall be at the discretion of Owner. General Manager and Manager acknowledge that Owner has no duty to consent to any such redirection of Replacement Reserve Amounts or Operating Account from a Component or to fund Replacement Reserve Funds or Operating Accounts from any source other than the Gross Revenue generated by the specified Component or from other sources as determined in the Project Budget.

9.10 Taxes on Casino and Entertainment Taxes. Resort Hotel and Casino Operator, as agent for Owner and with Owner’s cooperation and subject to availability of adequate funds in the respective Operating Accounts, shall pay from such Operating Accounts before delinquency all taxes, assessments, license fees and other charges levied or assessed against the casino, or any portion thereof, during the Term or if any such amount is or becomes due and payable arising from the period of time that Resort Hotel and Casino Operator acts as the manager of the casino, including, without limitation, any Gross Revenue fee or tax and any entertainment tax, any LET or other similar tax, imposition, fee or surcharge. Resort Hotel and Casino Operator agrees that it will collect any applicable LET associated with the sale of food, beverage, merchandise or entertainment from the casino and will pay the same to the taxing authority on a timely basis, or if not permitted to pay the same directly, shall remit the LET due to Owner no later than the tenth (10th) day of the month following the month in which the taxable sales occurred. Resort Hotel and Casino Operator shall make all documents containing information relative to the computation of the LET available for inspection upon receipt of notice from representatives of Owner and the Nevada Gaming Authorities.

9.11 Impositions and Insurance Premiums. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Manager shall, prior to delinquency, and as long as the respective Component has been supplied with bills and invoices, pay from the respective Operating Accounts, to the extent of funds available therein (and Owner shall timely provide such funds to the extent they are not available from Operating Accounts), all Impositions assessed against such Component, and all insurance premiums on all policies of insurance maintained with respect to such Component and its operations.

9.12 Operating Accounts. Each Manager shall establish an Operating Account specific to and solely for each respective Component delegated to such Component at a bank or other financial institution designated by Owner and approved by such Manager (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Operating Account shall be established in the name of Owner. Each Manager shall deposit into the applicable Operating Account all moneys advanced for such Component as Working Capital by Owner, and all moneys received by a Manager from the operations of each respective Component shall be promptly counted no less frequently than required by applicable MGM MIRAGE corporate policies and in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements. The Parties hereto agree to obtain a bonded transportation service to effect the safe transportation of the daily receipts to the bank, if such service is available at reasonable cost and if not provided by the bank, which expense shall constitute an Operating Expense. The Operating Account for the Component (or, in the case of the

General Manager, the CityCenter Project) delegated to a Manager shall serve as the general accounts for such Component. Each Manager and Owner shall be authorized signatories on such Operating Account; provided, however, such Manager shall be responsible for making all payments due and owing out of such Operating Account, on behalf of Owner, to the extent sufficient funds are available from time to time therein, including, without limitation, payment of all Operating Expenses, the Compensation, the Operating Fee and any other amounts due and owing to Resort Hotel and Casino Operator or its Affiliates under the express terms of this Agreement. Owner shall be provided with internet access to each and all Operating Accounts permitting Owner to examine balances and activity in the Operating Accounts. Each Manager shall establish controls to ensure accurate reporting, safety and security of all transactions involving the corresponding Operating Accounts.

9.13 Replacement Reserve Fund. The Replacement Reserve Fund shall be established at a bank or other commercial institution designated by Owner and approved by the respective Manager (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall be established in the name of Owner. Interest or other income earned during any period on the amounts in such Replacement Reserve Fund shall be excluded from Gross Revenue, remain part of such Replacement Reserve Fund and be credited against the Replacement Reserve Amount to be contributed for such Accounting Month. To the extent that a Manager shall be required to pay income taxes on such interest or other income as a fiduciary, the same shall be payable out of such Replacement Reserve Fund. Any funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Fund at the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement shall be the property of Owner and shall be promptly paid to Owner following the effective date of termination of this Agreement.

9.14 Control and Ownership of Accounts. The policies and procedures for authorization of Personnel to withdraw from the Operating Accounts or the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement. In addition to such Operating Accounts and Replacement Reserve Fund, such Manager shall be entitled to maintain House Accounts as such Manager deems reasonably necessary in the operation of the respective Component or the CityCenter Project. All of the funds in the House Accounts shall belong to Owner and such Manager shall not commingle its own, or any third party’s funds, in any of the Operating Accounts. Owner retains the right at all times to withdraw funds from the Operating Accounts.

9.15 Pledge of Credit. Managers shall not (i) pledge the credit of Owner nor borrow funds in its name; provided, however, that this restriction will not prohibit the Manager from accessing any line of credit obtained by the Owner in accordance with the policies and procedures for draws established by Owner; or (ii) alienate, hypothecate or otherwise encumber any of the moneys or assets which are the property of Owner (or any Component subject to this Agreement) except in the ordinary course of business.

10.1 Maintenance of Books and Records. The Manager shall keep and maintain the books and records of the Resort Hotel and Casino, and the financial position and the results of operations recorded, in a manner that shall reflect all transactions of the Resort Hotel and Casino and shall otherwise be appropriate and adequate for the business of the Resort Hotel and Casino in accordance with all Legal Requirements and GAAP for financial reporting purposes and in accordance with all Legal Requirements for tax reporting purposes. The books and records shall be kept on the accrual method of accounting applied in a consistent manner and shall reflect all transactions of the Resort Hotel and Casino as appropriate and adequate for the Owner’s business and in a manner consistent with MGM MIRAGE’S practices and reporting policies for its wholly-owned properties.

Such inspections and examinations shall be made with as little disruption to the business operations of the Component as reasonably practicable. Upon the termination of this Agreement, all books and records of the Component shall forthwith be turned over to Owner so as to ensure the orderly continuation of the operation of such Component; provided, however, that all such books and records shall thereafter be available for a period of five (5) years to the Managers at the Resort Hotel and Casino

for inspection, audit, examination and extracting, at all reasonable times and at the Managers’ sole cost and expense, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Owner.

The Reporting Period Statements shall include, either as part of the report or by supplemental schedule, sufficient information from which Owner can determine, for the period in question, the Reimbursable Expenses paid to Managers under Section 5.3. The cost of preparing the Reporting Period Statements for each Component for each Operating Year shall be charged as an Operating Expense of the applicable Component.

10.4 Annual Statements. Each Manager shall, for its respective Component, not later than twenty (20) days following the conclusion of each Operating Year, cause to be prepared and delivered to Owner or any Member upon request, unaudited financial statements for the preceding Operating Year containing all of the items required for the Monthly Statements as set forth in Section 10.3 as well as a comparison of the results of operations (as may be consolidated) for the respective Component for the Operating Year then ended with the applicable approved Project Budget and with the comparable period in the prior Operating Year (the “Annual Statement”).

10.5 Audit Right of DW Member. DW Member reserves the right in its sole discretion, and without cost or expense to Owner (unless any such audit is approved by MGM Member pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, in which case the audit shall be an operating expense of the Owner or as further provided in this Section 10.5) to conduct inspections and to audit the books and records of any Component as maintained by the respective Manager following reasonable written notice of its intention to do so and a brief description of any specific materials comprising the books and records which DW Member is seeking to examine. DW Member will cooperate with the General Manager and any Manager to undertake such audit in a collaborative manner so as not to disrupt the business enterprise. In requesting such audit and inspection of the books and records of any Component, DW Member is not required to provide any reason or to assert any claim or disagreement with any information, financial reports, or financial information previously provided to DW Member in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. DW Member agrees to limit the exercise of its audit rights pursuant to this Section 10.5 to once in any twelve (12) month period, unless DW Member has a good faith reason to believe that an additional audit during such period is necessary or advisable. The General Manager and Manager shall provide to Owner and DW Member the location of the books and records for each Component if such location is not at the offices of the General Manager at the CityCenter Project. The General Manager and each Manager shall not relocate the books and records relating to any Component, or if in electronic form, change the manner and form of access and storage for those records specific to the Resort Hotel and Casino at any time during the Term without the prior written notice to and the consent of DW Member.

11.3 Reimbursable Services.

INSURANCE

12.1 Insurance to Be Maintained by Owner During Term. At all times during the Term, Owner shall procure and maintain, on behalf of Owner and each Manager, insurance coverage respecting the Components in consultation with the General Manager. All premiums and other costs of such insurance, and any applicable deductibles or co-insurance requirements, shall be an Operating Expense of each Component. If Owner and Managers shall mutually agree, Managers shall procure such insurance on behalf of Owner. Managers do not purport to be advisors on insurance matters and as between Owner and the Managers; it shall be Owner’s responsibility to cause itself to be adequately insured. General Manager shall propose the insurance coverage respecting the Components to be set forth in the Business Plan (as such term is defined in the Joint Venture Agreement) for submission to Owner for review and approval in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement.

12.2 Insurance to Be Maintained by Manager During Term. Manager shall obtain and maintain (either itself or through blanket general liability insurance policies carried by MGM MIRAGE) during the Term of this Agreement insurance in the forms and coverages, policy limitations and amounts as are customarily obtained and retained by managers of similar projects in the hotel, casino, gaming, and leisure and resort industry. All such coverages shall be at Manager’s (or, if applicable, MGM MIRAGE’s) sole cost and expense and shall not be an Operating Expense.

Owner or the Managers, as the case may be, shall cause all policies to contain a waiver of subrogation clause to the extent the same shall be available at no extra cost and shall notify the other if a waiver of subrogation clause is not available at no extra cost, to permit Owner and Managers to determine if additional payments should be made to obtain the waiver of subrogation clause. The provisions of this Section 12.3 are intended to restrict each Party (as permitted by Legal Requirements) to recovery against insurance carriers to the extent of such coverage and waive fully, and for the benefit of each, any rights and/or Claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation in any insurance carrier.

For purposes of this Section 15.1, a “Performance Test Failure” shall occur when the EBITDAM of the Resort Hotel and Casino for any two (2) consecutive Operating Years (the “Performance Test Period”) commencing after the first (1st) full Operating Year following the Resort Hotel and Casino Opening Date (with the first Performance Test Period being the second (2nd) and third (3rd) full Operating Years following the Resort Hotel and Casino Opening Date) for the Resort Hotel and Casino is less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the EBITDAM set forth in the Project Budgets for the applicable Operating Years. In the event of a Performance Test Failure as set forth in this Section 15.1, Owner shall have the right, subject to Section 15.2, to terminate this Agreement provided that (a) a written notice of termination shall be given to the Resort Hotel and Casino Operator within sixty (60) days after receipt by Owner of the applicable Certified Financial Statements, and (b) such notice shall specify a termination date not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice.

In the event the Resort Hotel and Casino Operator exercises its Cure Right and makes such payment, Owner’s notice of termination shall be deemed withdrawn and Owner shall not have the right to send another notice of termination unless the conditions of Section 15.1 are met for each of two (2) consecutive Operating Years thereafter, in which case the Cure Right may be exercised again.

ARTICLE 16

DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

The following will, at Manager’s election, constitute an event of default by Owner under this Agreement (each such event being referred to herein as an “Event of Default”) but Manager acknowledges and agrees that Owner will not be in default or breach of this Agreement if such default or breach arises from an action or omission of Manager or any of its Affiliates (including without limitation MGM MIRAGE) or arises regarding a matter that is within the control of Manager or its Affiliates (including without limitation MGM MIRAGE):

Guarantor waives and releases any right of subrogation against Manager or any other person or entity, and waives any rights to enforce any remedy which MGM MIRAGE may have against Manager. This Section 20.5 shall continue to be effective or shall automatically be revived, reinstated, and restored, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligations is avoided, rescinded or rendered ineffective or must otherwise be paid, returned or restored by Owner or any other person pursuant to state or federal law, in connection with or as the result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of MGM MIRAGE or Manager, all as though such payment or performance had not occurred or been tendered or made, as the case may be. MGM MIRAGE shall have no authority to revoke the guaranty pursuant to this Section 20.5, but if any such revocation shall be deemed to have occurred by operation of law or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 20.5 shall continue to apply notwithstanding such revocation.

(b) The obligations of MGM MIRAGE pursuant to the guaranty in this Section 20.5, are independent of the obligations of Manager or any other person. Owner may bring action against MGM MIRAGE without bringing action against Manager or any other person and otherwise independently of any other right, power or remedy (each, a “Remedy”) that may be available to Owner at any time. MGM MIRAGE waives any right to require Owner at any time to proceed against Manager or any other person, or otherwise enforce, proceed against or pursue any other Remedy in Owner’s power.

(i) any present or future Legal Requirements or orders affecting any Remedy of the Owner;

(ii) any discharge or release of any other guarantor or any impairment or suspension of any Remedy of Owner, whether resulting from any act or omission of Owner or any other person or by operation of law or otherwise;

(iii) the lack of authority or any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Manager, any guarantor or any disability or other defense of Manager or any other guarantor;

(iv) any other action by Owner, whether authorized by this Section 20.5 or otherwise, or any omission by Owner or other failure of Owner to pursue, or any delay in pursuing, any other Remedy in Owner’s power;

(v) any defense or benefits that may be derived from any Legal Requirements of the State of California or any other jurisdiction, and all other suretyship defenses it would otherwise have under the Legal Requirements of the State of California or any other jurisdiction;

(vi) all benefits of any statute of limitations affecting MGM MIRAGE’s liability under or the enforcement of the guaranty in this Section 20.5;

(vii) all setoffs and counterclaims;

(viii) promptness, diligence, presentment, demand for performance and protest;

(ix) notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor;

(x) the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation or any other right or remedy of MGM MIRAGE against Manager; or

(xi) any modification of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(d) MGM MIRAGE hereby waives all benefits that might otherwise be available to MGM MIRAGE under California Civil Code Sections 2787 through 2855, inclusive, and 3433, among other provisions of like effect.

(e) MGM MIRAGE hereby acknowledges that (A) the obligations undertaken by MGM MIRAGE pursuant to the guaranty in this Section 20.5 are complex in nature; and (B) numerous possible defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may presently exist and/or may arise hereafter; and (C) as part of the Owner’s consideration for entering into the Agreement, Owner has specifically bargained for the waiver and relinquishment by MGM MIRAGE of all such defenses; and (D) MGM MIRAGE has had the opportunity to seek and receive legal advice from skilled legal counsel in the area of financial transactions of the type contemplated herein. Given all of the above, MGM MIRAGE does hereby represent and confirm to the Owner that MGM MIRAGE is fully informed regarding, and that MGM MIRAGE does thoroughly understand: (i) the nature of all such possible defenses; and (ii) the circumstances under which such defenses may arise; and (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon MGM MIRAGE; and (iv) the legal consequences to MGM MIRAGE of waiving such defenses. MGM MIRAGE acknowledges that MGM MIRAGE makes the guaranty in this Section 20.5 with the intent that such guaranty and all of the informed waivers herein shall each and all be fully enforceable by the Owner, and that the Owner is induced to enter into the Agreement in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof.

(f) Pavement of Expenses. In the event that MGM MIRAGE should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Agreement, MGM MIRAGE shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days of demand by Owner, pay Owner all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by Owner in the enforcement hereof. In the event MGM MIRAGE fails to pay any such amounts to Owner in the manner and timeframe set forth in this Section 20.5.1(f), such amounts shall accrue interest from and after such payments were due and owing to Owner at the rate of interest set forth in Section 5.5. The covenants contained in this Section 20.5 shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(g) Modifications. MGM MIRAGE waives any right to object to any renewal, extension, increase, modification, alteration or rearrangement of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Owner, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights of Owner hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.

(h) Material Inducement. MGM MIRAGE and Owner acknowledge and agree that this guaranty constitutes a material and continuing inducement of the Owner to enter into this Agreement and the Concurrent Agreements. MGM MIRAGE and Owner further agree that the provisions of this Section 20.5 are subject to the other rights and remedies of Owner and the Manager pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

20.6 Further Actions. The Parties hereby agree to execute such other documents and perform such other acts as may be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

20.7 Assignment.

20.7.1 Managers’ Assignment. Upon written notice to Owner, each Manager shall be entitled at any time, without the consent of Owner to:

(a) cede, assign and delegate its rights and obligations under this Agreement to which it is a Party, to any company which, directly or indirectly, is wholly owned by General Manager provided that any such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound to the provisions of this Agreement (“Successor”); provided, however, in the event of any such assignment to a Successor, such assigning Manager shall nevertheless continue to be liable for such Successor’s obligations under this Agreement; and/or

(b) assign its right, conditionally or otherwise, to receive payments under this Agreement.

20.7.2 Owner Assignment. Owner shall be entitled at any time, without the consent of Managers (or if such consent is an inalienable right under any Legal Requirements, then Manager shall grant such consent), to cede, assign and delegate its rights and obligations under (i) in the event of a Transfer of the Owner’s interest in the CityCenter Project, this Agreement and all of the Project Agreements, and (ii) in the event of a Transfer of the Joint Venture’s interest in a Component of the CityCenter Project, the applicable Project Agreement shall encumber the Component which is the subject of the Transfer. In addition, Owner shall have the right to assign this Agreement and the other Project Agreements to any Mortgagee and/or any lender under any Financing Instrument as additional security for any indebtedness secured (or to be secured) by a Mortgage and/or any Financing Instrument and in connection with such assignment, each Manager, as applicable, hereby agrees to join in executing such form of consent to such assignment as the Mortgagee and/or any lender under any Financing Instrument, in its sole discretion, may require.

Other than as set forth in Section 20.7.1 and Section 20.7.2, neither Party shall cede, assign or delegate its respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent may be withheld in each Party’s sole and absolute discretion.

No consent or waiver, express or implied, by any Party to or of any breach or default by the other party in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be a consent to or waiver of any other breach or default in the performance by such other Party of the same or any other obligations of such other Party under this Agreement. Failure on the part of either Party to complain of any act or failure to act of the other Party or to declare the other party in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its rights under this Agreement.

20.10 Approval by Owner. In any instance in this Agreement where the approval of Owner is contemplated or required with respect to any matter and a standard is not otherwise set forth in this Agreement, such approval may be given or withheld by Owner in the exercise of its reasonable judgment.

If any provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof to any entity or circumstances shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provisions to any other entity or circumstance shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

20.12 Estoppel Certificate.

20.18 Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to all matters under this Agreement.

20.19 Arbitration; Applicable Law; Dispute Resolution.

20.19.1 Governing Law. For purposes of this Agreement and the Aircraft Time Share Agreement, the interpretation, validity and performance of this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the procedural and substantive Legal Requirements of the State of California.

20.19.2 Executive Negotiations. In the event of any dispute between the Parties concerning or arising out of this Agreement, the Party seeking the resolution of such dispute shall give written notice to the other Party. Any notice to Owner under this Section 20.19.2 shall be delivered to DW Member. The DW Member is authorized to deliver notices on behalf of Owner under this Section 20.19.2, and the DW Member shall exclusively represent the interests of Owner under this Section 20.19.2. For a period of ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of such notice, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx of the General Manager (the “Manager Representative”) and Kar Xxxx Xxxx of the DW Member (the “DW Member Representative”) shall meet in person or by teleconference and negotiate with each other in good faith in an attempt to resolve such dispute. General Manager may designate a replacement or alternate Manager Representative and DW Member may designate a replacement or alternate DW Member Representative by written notice to the other Party.

20.19.3 Mediation. If, despite such good faith efforts, such dispute has not been fully and finally resolved by the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, then either Manager or the DW Member may require that the Parties participate in a non-binding mediation. Such mediation shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California using a mediator appointed by the Los Angeles, California office of JAMS. Such mediator shall (A) be independent of Manager and the DW Member, (B) not have been engaged by the DW Member, Manager or any of their respective Affiliates within the last three (3) years, and (C) have at least ten (10) years of work or professional experience in the area of expertise relevant to the subject matter of the dispute. Manager and the DW Member shall use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to cause such mediation to occur no later than thirty (30) days after delivery of a notice pursuant to this Section requesting the mediation of a dispute. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the costs and expenses of the mediator appointed pursuant to this Section 20.19.3 and JAMS in connection with such mediation shall be shared equally by the DW Member and Manager.

20.19.4 Judicial Reference. DISPUTES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED THROUGH EXECUTIVE NEGOTIATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 20.19.2 OF THIS AGREEMENT OR MEDIATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 20.19.3 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY A REFEREE PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 638 ET SEQ. IN EFFECT AS OF THE DATE HEREOF. THE VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING HEREUNDER SHALL BE IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA (UNLESS CHANGED BY THE WRITTEN AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES). THE PARTY (I.E. MANAGER OR THE DW MEMBER) SEEKING TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE SHALL SERVE A COMPLAINT ON THE OTHER PARTY IN THE MANNER PRESCRIBED BY LAW. WITHIN FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SERVICE OF THE COMPLAINT OR STATEMENT OF THE COMPLAINT OR STATEMENT OF CLAIM, THE PARTY SEEKING RELIEF SHALL MAKE A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR THE SPECIFIC DESIGNATION OF A REFEREE TO TRY THE DISPUTE. THEREAFTER THE PARTIES SHALL USE THEIR BEST EFFORTS TO AGREE UPON THE SELECTION OF A REFEREE. IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO AGREE UPON A REFEREE WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER A WRITTEN REQUEST TO DO SO BY ANY PARTY, THEN ANY PARTY MAY PETITION THE PRESIDING JUDGE OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT TO APPOINT A REFEREE. THE PRESIDING JUDGE SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO ASSIGN SAID REQUEST TO SUCH JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT AS THE PRESIDING JUDGE DEEMS APPROPRIATE. FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THE JUDGE MAKING THE APPOINTMENT OF SAID REFEREE, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PERSON SO APPOINTED SHALL BE A RETIRED JUDGE.

THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, SECTIONS 640, 641, 642, 643, 644, 645 AND 645.1, SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY A REFEREE HEREUNDER. IN AN EFFORT TO CLARIFY AND AMPLIFY THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 644 AND 645, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE REFEREE SHALL DECIDE THE DISPUTE SUBMITTED BY THE PARTIES FOR DECISION IN THE SAME MANNER AS REQUIRED FOR A TRIAL BY COURT AS SET FORTH IN CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL

PROCEDURE, SECTIONS 631.8 AND 632, AND CALIFORNIA RULES OF COURT, RULE 3.1590. THE REFEREE SHALL TRY AND DECIDE THE DISPUTE ACCORDING TO AND BASED ON ALL OF THE SUBSTANTIVE AND PROCEDURAL STATUTORY AND DECISIONAL LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, UNLESS THE PARTIES STIPULATE TO THE CONTRARY. WHEN THE REFEREE HAS DECIDED THE DISPUTE, THE REFEREE SHALL ALSO CAUSE THE PREPARATION OF A JUDGMENT BASED ON SAID DECISION. THE JUDGMENT TO BE ENTERED BY THE SUPERIOR COURT, BASED UPON THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE, SHALL BE APPEALABLE IN THE SAME MANNER AS IF THE JUDGE SIGNING THE JUDGMENT HAD TRIED THE CASE.

THE PARTIES SHALL DILIGENTLY COOPERATE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND THE PERSON(S) APPOINTED TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE, AND SHALL PERFORM SUCH ACTS AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN A PROMPT AND EXPEDITIOUS RESOLUTION OF THE DISPUTE. IF EITHER PARTY REFUSES TO DILIGENTLY COOPERATE, AND THE OTHER PARTY, AFTER FIRST GIVING NOTICE OF ITS INTENT TO RELY ON THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH, INCURS ADDITIONAL EXPENSES OR ATTORNEYS’ FEES SOLELY AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE TO DILIGENTLY COOPERATE, THE REFEREE MAY AWARD SUCH ADDITIONAL EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES TO THE PARTY GIVING SUCH NOTICE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY IS NOT THE PREVAILING PARTY IN THE DISPUTE.

THE COST OF THE PROCEEDING SHALL INITIALLY BE BORNE EQUALLY BY THE PARTIES TO THE DISPUTE, BUT THE PREVAILING PARTY IN SUCH PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER, IN ADDITION TO REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND ALL OTHER COSTS, ITS CONTRIBUTION FOR THE REASONABLE COST OF THE REFEREE AS AN ITEM OF RECOVERABLE COSTS. IF EITHER PARTY REFUSES TO PAY ITS SHARE OF THE COSTS OF THE PROCEEDING, AT THE TIME(S) REQUIRED, THE OTHER PARTY MAY DO SO, IN WHICH EVENT THAT PARTY WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER (OR OFFSET) THE AMOUNT ADVANCED, WITH INTEREST, EVEN IF THAT PARTY IS NOT THE PREVAILING PARTY. THE REFEREE SHALL INCLUDE SUCH COSTS IN HIS JUDGMENT OR AWARD.

20.19.5 Matters Solely Adjudicated Under the Joint Venture Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 20.19 to the contrary, any actual or alleged breach of the Joint Venture Agreement by DW Member or the MGM Member, or the making of (or the failure to make) any decisions or determinations that constitutes a Major Decision under the Joint Venture Agreement shall be adjudicated and otherwise resolved in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Joint Venture Agreement, not the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any action or omission of MGM Member or DW Member made under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of the Joint Venture Agreement by the MGM Member and DW Member, unless such action or omission, if made by the MGM Member or DW Member under the Joint Venture Agreement, would constitute a breach of the Joint Venture Agreement

20.20 Governing Law and Choice of Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Legal Requirements of the State of California excluding its conflict of law principles. In the event of any litigation between the Parties concerning or arising out of this Agreement, the Parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in California

20.21 Agreement Subject to Nevada Gaming Law and Authorities.

FOR PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AIRCRAFT TIME SHARE AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, OR RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO, THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE EXTENT THEY MAY LEGALLY DO SO, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE DECIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 20.19 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF THIS SECTION 20.23 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO TO WAIVER OF ITS OR THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND AGREEMENT TO ABIDE BY THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

20.24 Limitation of Liability.

20.24.1 For purposes of this Agreement and the Aircraft Time Share Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Parties acknowledge and agree with and for the benefit of Owner and the DW Member that the liability of Owner to make any additional payment or contribution of money at any time and from time to time pursuant to this Agreement and for any purpose pursuant to this Agreement is expressly limited to the interest of Owner in the Project. Such limitation of liability is further subject to the agreement that in no event shall Owner, the DW Member or the Manager have at any time any right, duty or obligation to contribute to or for the benefit of the Project any capital or other amounts unless specifically required by and authorized by the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement and any actions of Owner’s members taken in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement.

(a) Without in any way limiting the provisions of this Section 20.24.1, the Parties acknowledge that in the event there is a default or an alleged default by Manager or MGM MIRAGE under the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement, or if any Party has any Claim arising from the arrangements contemplated in this Agreement, no Party shall commence any lawsuit or otherwise seek to impose any liability whatsoever against Mr. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Tracinda Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and any other corporation or entity controlled by Mr. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx (other than MGM MIRAGE and its subsidiaries) or any principals of MGM MIRAGE or the Affiliates of such principals (the “MGM MIRAGE Restricted Affiliates”). The Parties hereby further agree that none of the MGM MIRAGE Restricted Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever with respect to this Agreement. The Parties hereby further agree that they shall not permit or cause the Owner to assess a Claim or impose any liability against any MGM MIRAGE Restricted Affiliate, either collectively or individually, as to any matter or thing arising out of or relating to this Agreement. In addition, the Parties agree that none of the MGM MIRAGE Restricted Affiliates, individually or collectively, are a Party to this Agreement or liable for any alleged breach or default of this Agreement by Manager or MGM MIRAGE. It is expressly understood and agreed that this provision shall have no force and effect with respect to any document or agreement as to which Mr. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx or Tracinda Corporation is a Party with the DW Member or Affiliates of the DW Member, except as set forth in such other agreement.

(b) Without in any way limiting the provisions of this Section 20.24.1, the Parties acknowledge that in the event there is a default or an alleged default by DW Member under the arrangements contemplated by this Agreement, or if any Party has any Claim arising from the arrangements contemplated in this Agreement, no Party shall commence any lawsuit or otherwise seek to impose any liability whatsoever against either the Government of Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, any corporation or entity controlled by the Government of Dubai or the United Arab Emirates (other than DW Member and its subsidiaries) or any principals of DW Member or the Affiliates of such principals (the “Dubai World Restricted Affiliates”). The Parties hereby further agree that none of the Dubai World Restricted Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever with respect to this Agreement. The Parties hereby further agree that they shall not permit or cause Owner to assess a Claim or impose any liability against any Dubai World Restricted Affiliate, either collectively or individually, as to any matter or thing arising out of or relating to this Agreement. In addition, the Parties agree that none of the Dubai World Restricted Affiliates, individually or collectively, are a Party to this Agreement or liable for any alleged breach or default of this Agreement by DW Member or its Affiliates.

20.25 Use of Affiliates by Manager. In fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, Managers may, subject to the Joint Venture Agreement, use the services of one or more of its Affiliates. If any Affiliate of a Manager performs services that any Manager is required to provide under this Agreement, the applicable Manager shall be ultimately responsible to Owner for its Affiliate’s performance. In addition, the compensation and other terms and conditions of any such Affiliate transaction shall be no less favorable to Owner than those that the Manager knows could reasonably be obtained at the time from an unrelated Party providing comparable goods or services, and it is expressly understood and agreed that Owner shall not enter into any contracts with an Affiliate of Manager other than at such Affiliate’s cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Owner provides reasonable proof to Manager that the cost of a third party’s services is less than the cost charged by Manager’s Affiliate for the same or comparable service to be provided by such Affiliate, Owner shall be entitled to engage such third party in lieu of the Manager’s Affiliate.

20.26 Publicity. Owner and Managers shall coordinate with one another on all press releases relating to those matters material to the operation and management of the Resort Hotel and Casino.

20.27 Waivers. For purposes of this Agreement and the Aircraft Time Share Agreement, no consent or waiver, express or implied, by any Party to or of any breach or default by the other Party in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be a consent to or waiver of any other breach or default in the performance by such other Party of the same or any other obligations of such other Party under this Agreement. Failure on the part of either Party to complain of any act or failure to act of the other Party or to declare the other Party in default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its rights under this Agreement. No consent or waiver by Owner to or of any breach or default by Manager in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall be effective unless such consent to or waiver of any such breach or default has been given in writing by the DW Member.

20.28 Other Agreements. Except to the extent as may now or hereafter be specifically provided, nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to modify any other agreement between Owner and Manager with respect to the Project or any other property executed and delivered contemporaneously with this Agreement (the “Concurrent Agreements”). This Agreement contains the entire agreement between Owner and Manager regarding the management of the Resort Hotel and Casino and Owner’s and Manager’s rights, duties and obligations related thereto and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements, understandings, representations and covenants, other than the Concurrent Agreements and the Joint Venture Agreement.

20.29 Periods of Time. Whenever any determination is to be made or action is to be taken on a date specified in this Agreement, if such date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then that date will be extended to the next day which is a Business Day.

20.30 Attorney’s Fees and Other Costs. The Parties to this Agreement will bear their own attorneys’ fees in relation to negotiating and drafting this Agreement. Subject to the provisions of Section 20.19 of this Agreement, if Owner or Manager engages in litigation to construe, interpret or enforce this Agreement, the prevailing Party will have the right to indemnity by the non-prevailing Party for an amount equal to the prevailing Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and expenses arising therefrom.

20.31 Electronic Signatures. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile or by electronic mail shall be valid and effective to bind the Party so signing. Each Party agrees to promptly deliver an execution original to this Agreement with its actual signature to the other Party, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement, it being expressly agreed that each Party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own telecopied or scanned signature and shall accept the telecopied or scanned signature of the other Party to this Agreement.

Subject to the fiduciary duties owed by Manager to Owner pursuant to this Agreement and the Joint Venture Agreement, in carrying out its duties and obligations hereunder, the relationship of Manager and any of its Affiliates providing the Manager’s services to Owner will be that of an agent; in every instance where a Manager executes any agreement or document on behalf of Owner (pursuant to its rights set forth in this Agreement), such Manager shall do so in its capacity as an agent of Owner and shall make such designation evident in any such agreement.

20.33 Notices.

20.33.1 Other than as provided in Section 20.33.2, all notices or other communications required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of delivery if delivered personally to the Party to whom notice is given, on the next Business Day if sent by confirmed facsimile transmission or on the date of actual delivery if sent by overnight commercial courier or by first class mail, registered or certified, with postage prepaid and properly addressed to the Party at its address set forth below, or at any other address that any Party may from time to time designate by written notice to the others:

“16.1.1 Events of Default on the Part of Either Party. The following shall constitute an event of default under this Agreement (each such event being referred to herein as an “Event of Default”) but each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party will not be in default or breach of this Agreement to the extent that such default or breach arises from an action or omission of the other Party or any of its Affiliates (including without limitation MGM MIRAGE) and, with respect to Owner, to the extent that such default or breach arises regarding a matter that is within the control of Manager or its Affiliates (including without limitation MGM MIRAGE):”

(b) Section 16.1.1(c) is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
