advance funds under this Agreement in excess of the Liability Cap (except as provided in Section

Amount.
-3-
2.2 Notwithstanding any provision of this Completion Guarantee to the contrary, the aggregate
amount of cash payments required to be made by Completion Guarantor hereunder shall not exceed the
Liability Cap plus any amounts which become due and payable under Section 19. For the avoidance of
doubt, no other equity or debt investments made by Completion Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries
in Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including without limitation any proceeds of the Sponsor
Equity Commitment or the Sponsor Subordinated Debt) or other payments made by Completion Guarantor
or its Subsidiaries to or for the benefit of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall reduce the
Liability Cap or otherwise affect the amount of funds available to be drawn under this Completion
Guarantee.
3. General Procedures; Draws.
3.1 If, as of the date that is three (3) Eurodollar Business Days prior to any Monthly Draw
Date, it is anticipated that a Draw Event will occur as of the Monthly Draw Date, then the
Disbursement Agent shall be entitled to make demand on Completion Guarantor hereunder for payment
of costs associated with completing the construction of the Project in an amount equal to the Draw
Amount. The Disbursement Agent may also make demand hereunder on a date which is not a Monthly
Draw Date upon the presentation of supporting documentation for Construction Payables, and any such
demand shall be payable by the Completion Guarantor within ten (10) Eurodollar Business Days
3.2 Upon receipt of a demand from the Disbursement Agent under Section 3.1 and subject to
Section 3.5, Completion Guarantor shall make the requested payment by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the Borrower through deposit into the Sponsor Proceeds Account no later than the
corresponding Monthly Draw Date (or, in the case of any demand relating to Construction Payables,
within ten (10) Eurodollar Business Days). Each such payment so deposited into the Sponsor
Proceeds Account will be disbursed by the Disbursement Agent for the Borrower’s benefit in
accordance with the terms of the Disbursement Agreement.
3.3 Completion Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any
exercise of remedies by any Beneficiary, and that this Completion Guarantee shall continue to be
enforceable against Completion Guarantor until it terminates in accordance with Section 32.
Completion Guarantor’s obligation to fund Draw Amounts in accordance with the terms hereof shall be
irrevocable and unconditional, including notwithstanding any (x) deterioration in the financial
condition of Borrower, including any bankruptcy or similar proceeding of Borrower or any of its
subsidiaries, (y) elimination or transfer of Completion Guarantor’s ownership interest in Borrower,
including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceeding or (z) failure by Dubai World to
fund any of its obligations under the Dubai World Completion Guarantee.
3.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Completion Guarantee to the contrary, this
Completion Guarantee is not a guarantee of the Indebtedness incurred by the Loan Parties under the
Transaction Documents and notwithstanding any implication herein to the contrary, in no event shall
any of the funds committed hereunder by Completion Guarantor be used for any purpose other than the
payment of construction costs associated with completion of the Project that are then due and
payable.
-4-
3.5 Upon the occurrence of any Draw Event, the Disbursement Agent (except to the extent
prohibited from doing so by law) shall make concurrent demand upon the Sponsors for an aggregate
amount equal to the Draw Amount. While it is anticipated that each of the Sponsors will fund 50%
of each Draw Amount, Completion Guarantor shall be responsible to timely fund the full Draw Amount
(but without an obligation to exceed its Liability Cap) in the event Dubai World fails to fund all
or any part of its portion of the Draw Amount.
3.6 Completion Guarantor may effect its funding obligations hereunder through fundings by
itself or one or more of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries. Each funding made pursuant to this
Completion Guaranty (whether made by Sponsor directly or through a Subsidiary) shall be deemed to
constitute a contribution to the equity capital to Borrower.
4. Nature of Guarantee. This Completion Guarantee is irrevocable and continuing in
nature and relates to any Guaranteed Obligations now existing or hereafter arising. This
Completion Guarantee is a guarantee of prompt and punctual payment and performance and is not
merely a guarantee of collection.
5. Relationship to Other Agreements. Except as specifically noted herein, nothing
herein shall in any way modify or limit the effect of terms or conditions set forth in any other
Transaction Document, including without limitation the Sponsor Contribution Agreements and the
Sponsor Subordination Agreement, executed by Completion Guarantor or any other document, instrument
or agreement executed by Completion Guarantor in connection with the Project, but each and every
term and condition hereof shall be in addition thereto.
6. Subordination of Indebtedness of Borrower to Completion Guarantor. Completion
Guarantor represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not
have any indebtedness owing to Completion Guarantor other than the portion of the Sponsor
Subordinated Debt that has already been advanced to Borrower in connection with funding
construction of the Project. Completion Guarantor hereby agrees that all indebtedness now or
hereafter owed by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to Completion Guarantor or any of its
Subsidiaries shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness (as defined in
the Sponsor Subordination Agreement) as and to the extent provided in the Sponsor Subordination
Agreement, and all such present or future indebtedness of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall
be subject to the Sponsor Subordination Agreement. To the extent that, contrary to the intention
of the parties, any amount funded by Completion Guarantors (directly or through Subsidiaries) is
ever construed to be indebtedness, then any reimbursement obligations of Borrower to Completion
Guarantor or its Subsidiaries that may result from the funding of Draw Amounts hereunder, shall be
likewise subordinated.
7. Statutes of Limitations and Other Laws. Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been
paid and performed in full or this Completion Guarantee terminates in accordance with Section 32,
all the rights, privileges, powers and remedies granted to the Beneficiaries hereunder shall
continue to exist and may be exercised by the Beneficiaries at any time and from time to time
irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations may have become barred by any statute
of limitations. Completion Guarantor expressly waives the benefit of any and all statutes of
limitation, and any and all Laws providing for exemption of Property from
execution or for evaluation and appraisal upon foreclosure, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable Laws.
-5-
8. Waivers and Consents. Completion Guarantor consents and agrees that the
Beneficiaries may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without
affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) supplement, modify, amend,
extend, renew, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Secured
Obligations or any part thereof, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease of the
rate(s) of interest thereon and any increase or decrease in the principal amount of the Secured
Obligations; (b) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval
or consent with respect to, the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, or any of the Transaction
Documents to which Completion Guarantor is not a party or any additional security or guarantees, or
any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;
(c) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to
any of the Transaction Documents or the Secured Obligations or any part thereof; (d) accept partial
payments on the Secured Obligations; (e) receive and hold additional security or guarantees for the
Secured Obligations or any part thereof; (f) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to
perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and/or enforce any security or guarantees, and
apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Beneficiaries in their
discretion may determine; (g) release any Person from any personal liability with respect to the
Secured Obligations or any part thereof; (h) settle, release on terms satisfactory to the
applicable Beneficiary or by operation of applicable Laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any of
the Secured Obligations and any security or guarantee therefor in any manner, consent to the
transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; and/or (i) consent to the merger, change
or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate or other existence of Borrower or any
other Obligor, and correspondingly restructure the Secured Obligations, and any such merger,
change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of Completion Guarantor or the
continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of
the Guaranteed Obligations.
The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Beneficiaries, may enforce this Completion Guarantee
independently of any other remedy or security the Beneficiaries at any time may have or hold in
connection with the Secured Obligations. Completion Guarantor expressly waives any right to
require the Beneficiaries to marshal assets in favor of Borrower, Completion Guarantor or any other
Person, and agrees that the Beneficiaries may proceed against Borrower or any other Person, or upon
or against any security or remedy, before proceeding to enforce this Completion Guarantee, in such
order as they shall determine in their discretion. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the
Beneficiaries, may file a separate action or actions against Borrower and/or Completion Guarantor
without respect to whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any security or against
any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Completion
Guarantor agrees that the Beneficiaries and Borrower and any Affiliates of Borrower may deal with
each other in connection with the Secured Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or
agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in
any way altering or affecting the effectiveness and enforceability of this Completion Guarantee.
The Beneficiaries’ rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this
Completion Guarantee shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the
Guaranteed Obligations which
-6-
thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by the Beneficiaries upon the
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Borrower, Completion Guarantor or any other Person, or
otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The rights of the Beneficiaries created or
granted herein and the enforceability of this Completion Guarantee with respect to Completion
Guarantor at all times shall remain effective to guarantee the full amount of all the Guaranteed
Obligations (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.2) even though the Secured
Obligations, or any part thereof, or any security or guarantee therefor, may be or hereafter may
become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other
guarantor or surety and whether or not Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have any personal
liability with respect thereto. Completion Guarantor expressly waives any and all defenses now or
hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of Borrower or any
other Loan Party with respect to the Secured Obligations, (b) the unenforceability or invalidity of
any security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing
perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Secured Obligations, (c) the cessation
for any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower or any other Loan Party (other than by reason
of the full payment and performance of all the Secured Obligations and the termination of all
commitments under the Transaction Documents), (d) any failure of the Beneficiaries to marshal
assets in favor of Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, (e) any failure of the
Beneficiaries to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral securing any Obligation
to Completion Guarantor or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in
connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral securing any Obligation, (f) any failure
of the Beneficiaries to comply with applicable Laws in connection with the sale or other
disposition of any collateral securing any Obligation or other security for any Obligation,
including without limitation, any failure of the Beneficiaries to conduct a commercially reasonable
sale or other disposition of any collateral securing any Obligation or other security for any
Obligation, (g) any act or omission of the Beneficiaries or others that directly or indirectly
results in or aids the discharge or release of Borrower or any other Loan Party or the Secured
Obligations or any security or guarantee therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (h) any Law
which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in
other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or
guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (i) any failure of the
Beneficiaries to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any
Person, (j) the election by the Beneficiaries, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the
application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (k) any
extension of credit or the grant of any Lien under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States, (l) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United
States, (m) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in
any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (n) the avoidance of any Lien in favor of the
Beneficiaries for any reason, (o) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person,
including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Secured
Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding, (p) to the extent
permitted in paragraph 40.495 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), the benefits of the
one-action rule under NRS Section 40.430, or (q) any action taken by the Collateral Agent that is
authorized by this Section or any other provision of any Transaction Document. Completion
Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims
-7-
and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or
nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands
of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Secured Obligations, and all notices of
acceptance of this Completion Guarantee or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or
additional Secured Obligations.
9. Condition of Borrower and other Obligors. Completion Guarantor represents and
warrants to the Beneficiaries that Completion Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining
from Borrower and each other Obligor, on a continuing basis, financial and other information
pertaining to the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and
each other Obligor and their properties, and Completion Guarantor now is and hereafter will be
completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of
Borrower and each other Obligor and their properties. Completion Guarantor hereby expressly waives
and relinquishes any duty on the part of the Beneficiaries (should any such duty exist) to disclose
to Completion Guarantor any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or
condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or each other Obligor or their properties, whether
now known or hereafter known by the Beneficiaries during the life of this Completion Guarantee.
10. Liens on Real Property. Completion Guarantor expressly waives any defenses to the
enforcement of this Completion Guarantee or any rights of the Beneficiaries created or granted
hereby or to the recovery by the Beneficiaries against Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Person liable therefor of any deficiency after a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale
because all or any part of the Secured Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among
other things: (1) the Beneficiaries may collect from Completion Guarantor without first foreclosing
on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Loan Parties; (2) if the Beneficiaries
foreclose on any real property collateral pledged by the Loan Parties: (A) the amount of the
Secured Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the
foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) the
Beneficiaries may collect from Completion Guarantor even if the Beneficiaries, by foreclosing on
the real property collateral, have destroyed any right Completion Guarantor may have to collect
from the Loan Parties. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses
Completion Guarantor may have because all or any part of the Secured Obligations are secured by
real property. Completion Guarantor expressly waives any defenses or benefits that may be derived
from NRS Section 40.430 and judicial decisions relating thereto, and NRS Sections 40.451, 40.455,
40.457 and 40.459, and all other suretyship defenses it otherwise might or would have under Nevada
Law or other applicable Law. Completion Guarantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of
any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real property or interest therein subject to
any such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments and Completion Guarantor’s or any other
Person’s failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect Completion Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder or the enforceability of this Completion Guarantee or any rights of the
Beneficiaries created or granted herein.
11. Subrogation, Indemnification and Contribution. Completion Guarantor hereby defers
and subordinates, until all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in
full and any commitments with respect to the Secured Obligations are terminated,
-8-
(i) all rights to indemnification by the Loan Parties in respect of any payments made by
Completion Guarantor hereunder, (ii) all subrogation rights arising out of the making of such
payments, and all other similar rights which may arise in favor of Completion Guarantor against any
Loan Party, (iii) all rights to set off against the assets of any Loan Party, and (iv) all rights
to reimbursement, to exoneration or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a
principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party
accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker, and which Completion Guarantor may have
or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party in connection with or as a result of Completion
Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Completion Guarantee. Without limiting the
effect of the foregoing waivers or any of the obligations of Completion Guarantor hereunder, the
Collateral Agent acknowledges that Completion Guarantor may have a right of contribution against
Dubai World in connection with Dubai World’s failure to perform its obligations under the Dubai
World Completion Guarantee.
12. Understandings With Respect to Waivers and Consents. Completion Guarantor
warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made with full
knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to
any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which
Completion Guarantor otherwise may have against Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Beneficiary or
others, or against any collateral securing any Obligation, and that, under the circumstances, the
waivers and consents herein given are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or Law.
Completion Guarantor acknowledges that it has either consulted with legal counsel regarding the
effect of this Completion Guarantee and the waivers and consents set forth herein, or has made an
informed decision not to do so. If this Completion Guarantee or any of the waivers or consents
herein are determined to be unenforceable under or in violation of applicable Law, this Completion
Guarantee and such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Law.
13. Representations and Warranties.
13.1 Completion Guarantor hereby makes each and every representation and warranty set forth in
its Sponsor Contribution Agreement as if set forth in full herein.
13.2 Completion Guarantor represents and warrants that there is no equitable or legal defense
to the enforcement of this Completion Guarantee against Completion Guarantor which has not been
effectively waived to the extent legally possible.

the financial statements required to be delivered under its Sponsor Contribution Agreement, in form
and detail and on the dates required thereunder.

Beneficiaries who shall have, to the extent of their interest, the rights of Beneficiaries
hereunder.
-9-
15.2 This Completion Guarantee is binding upon Completion Guarantor and its successors and
assigns. Completion Guarantor is not entitled to assign or delegate its obligations hereunder to
any other person without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, except that Completion
Guarantor may delegate its obligation to fund Draw Amounts hereunder to any of its wholly-owned
direct or indirect Subsidiaries so long as such Subsidiary is a party to the Sponsor Subordination
Agreement; provided, however, under no circumstances shall such delegation relieve
Completion Guarantor of its obligations under this Completion Guarantee.
16. Additional Waiver. No delay on the part of any Beneficiary in exercising any of
its rights (including those hereunder) and no partial or single exercise thereof and no action or
non-action by any Beneficiary, with or without notice to Completion Guarantor or anyone else, shall
constitute a waiver of any rights or shall affect or impair this Completion Guarantee.
17. Interpretation. The section headings in this Completion Guarantee are for the
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any provision
hereof.
18. Notices. All notices in connection with this Completion Guarantee shall be given

19. Costs and Expenses. Completion Guarantor agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent
all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) incurred by the Collateral Agent in the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this
Completion Guarantee, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith, and in connection
with any waiver or amendment of any term or provision hereof. All advances, charges, costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements
(including the reasonably allocated cost of legal counsel employed by the Collateral Agent),
incurred or paid by the Collateral Agent in exercising any right, privilege, power or remedy
conferred by this Completion Guarantee, or in the enforcement or attempted enforcement thereof,
shall be subject hereto and shall become a part of the Guaranteed Obligations (and shall not be
subject to the Liability Cap) and shall be paid to the Collateral Agent by Completion Guarantor,
immediately upon demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate provided for under the
Credit Agreement.
20. Construction of this Completion Guarantee. This Completion Guarantee is intended
to give rise to absolute and unconditional obligations on the part of Completion Guarantor; hence,
in any construction hereof, notwithstanding any provision of any Transaction Document to the
contrary, this Completion Guarantee shall be construed strictly in favor of the Beneficiaries in
order to accomplish its stated purpose.
21. Liability. Completion Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof the Beneficiaries
hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by Completion
Guarantor pursuant to this Completion Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
for purposes of any federal or state Law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the obligations
of Completion Guarantor under this Completion Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as
will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of Completion Guarantor,
result in the obligations of Completion Guarantor under this Completion Guarantee not constituting
a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state Law. This Section 21 is for
the benefit of the creditors of Completion Guarantor. The liability of Completion Guarantor
hereunder is independent of any other guarantees at any time in effect with respect to all or any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, including the Dubai World Completion Guarantee, and Completion
Guarantor’s liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence of any such guarantees.
Any termination by or release of Completion Guarantor in whole or in part shall not affect the
continuing liability of any other guarantor, and no notice of any such termination or release shall
be required. The execution hereof by Completion Guarantor is not founded upon an expectation or
understanding that any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations will ultimately be
enforceable.
22. Amendments. This Completion Guarantee may be amended only with the written
consent of Completion Guarantor, Borrower and the Collateral Agent.
23. Counterparts. This Completion Guarantee may be executed in one or more duplicate
counterparts, and when executed and delivered by all of the parties listed below shall constitute a
single binding agreement.
-11-
24. Enforcement. At any time that Completion Guarantor fails to fund, on a timely
basis, any Draw Amount after receipt of a proper demand hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall
be entitled to seek remedies against Completion Guarantor to compel the funding of its
obligations hereunder, including without limitation seeking an order for specific performance of
