4.2 Elements of the Resort Operating Plan. The Resort Operating Plan and updates thereto required hereunder shall include the elements described in this Section 4.2 and shall be subject to the review and written approval of Owner as described in Section 4.4.

Owner shall notify Manager of its approval or disapproval of its Resort Operating Plan within twenty (20) calendar days after receiving it. If Owner disapproves all or any portion of the Resort Operating Plan, Owner’s notice must include in detail the specific items in the Resort Operating Plan which Owner disapproves and the reasons for its disapproval, as well as those items in the Resort Operating Plan (if any) of which Owner approves. All items in the Resort Operating Plan which are thus approved by Owner shall become part of the Approved Resort Operating Plan. Manager shall resubmit a revised Resort Operating Plan to Owner within fifteen (15) days after Manager’s receipt of notice of Owner’s disapproval. The foregoing procedure shall be followed until the proposed Resort Operating Plan is fully approved by Owner. If Owner fails to timely notify Manager of its approval or disapproval of the Resort Operating Plans, Owner shall be deemed to have disapproved the Resort Operating Plan. If Owner has not approved all items in the Resort Operating Plan prior to commencement of the applicable Fiscal Year covered by it, until the new Resort Operating Plan is approved in its entirety, the items in

the new Resort Operating Plan that have been approved by Owner shall become effective, and with respect to those items in the new Resort Operating Plan that have not been approved, those items shall be determined by increasing the preceding Fiscal Year’s actual expense in accordance with the Loan Agreement. The resulting Resort Operating Plan obtained in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be the Resort Operating Plan in effect until such time as the Parties have resolved the items in dispute.

4.5 Implementation of Approved Resort Operating Plan. Manager may, after notice to and approval from Owner, revise the Resort Operating Plan from time to time, as necessary, to reflect any unpredicted significant changes, variables or events or to include significant, additional, unanticipated items of expense. Further, after notice to Owner, Manager may reallocate part or all of the amount budgeted with respect to any line item to another line item and may make such other modifications to the Resort Operating Plan as Manager deems necessary, provided that the total amount budgeted for any department in the Resort Operating Plan may not be adjusted by more than 5% without approval from Owner. Manager shall provide Owner with a revised Resort Operating Plan on (i) a monthly basis during the first twelve (12) months of the Term, and (ii) a quarterly basis thereafter. Owner acknowledges that the Resort Operating Plan is intended only to be a reasonable estimate of the Resort’s revenues and expenses for the ensuing Fiscal Year. Manager shall not be deemed to have made any guarantee or covenant concerning projected results contained in the Resort Operating Plan; provided, however, Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Resort in accordance with the Approved Resort Operating Plan and shall obtain Owner’s prior approval for any expenditures in excess (on an annual basis) of the Approved Resort Operating Plan.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, where approval or consent or other action of the Manager is required, such approval shall mean the written approval of the Manager’s Representative, who, as between Manager and Owner, shall be provided with all requisite corporate authority to act on behalf of Manager for purposes of this Agreement. Where approval or consent or other action of the Owner is required, such approval shall mean the written approval of the Owner’s Representative, who, as between Owner and the Manager, shall be provided with all requisite corporate authority to act on behalf of the Owner for purposes of this Agreement.

Manager shall advise Owner of variances that have occurred and that are anticipated between the applicable Approved Resort Operating Plan and actual results by giving Owner a monthly variance report (along with the statements mentioned above). Manager shall submit to Owner, on a daily basis, a daily cash balance snapshot. From and after the Takeover Date, and subject to compliance with Gaming Act, Manager shall also submit to Owner, on a daily basis, a daily gaming snapshot (tables and slots) report and a daily top 10 winners and losers (tables and slots) report, complimentary reports (including promotional chip logs and player travel reimbursement logs), and player discount reports.

The final figures of any audit shall control over the Monthly Reports prepared by Manager for the Fiscal Year.

5.4 Books and Records. Manager shall maintain complete and accurate books of account and such other records as are necessary to reflect the operations of the Resort in accordance with GAAP and, to the extent applicable, the Uniform System of Accounts, except as provided by this Agreement or as otherwise approved by Owner. All such books and records shall constitute the property of Owner, and Owner shall have the right at its expense (and not as an Operating Expense) to inspect the books and records during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to Manager, provided that Owner makes reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with on-going business operations resulting from its inspection of the books and records. Upon a Termination, Manager shall deliver the books and records to Owner who shall maintain the books and records for a period of at least seven (7) years after the Termination, and Manager shall have the right to inspect the books and records of the Resort transferred to Owner during that period and for so long thereafter as Owner keeps such books and records. Manager shall also maintain full and complete records of all past and present

SECTION 6. COMPENSATION OF MANAGER.

6.1 Base Fee. During the Term of this Agreement, from and after the Term Commencement Date, Owner shall pay to Manager, in consideration for its services, a base fee in the amount of One Hundred Twelve Thousand Five Hundred and no/100 U.S. Dollars ($112,500) per month, prorated for any partial month (the “Base Fee”). The Base Fee shall be payable on a monthly basis on the first day of each calendar month during the Term. Manager may pay the Base Fee to itself from the Resort’s bank accounts and/or from Gross Revenues in accordance with the foregoing payment provisions. From and after the Takeover Date, the Base Fee shall be increased to One Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 U.S. Dollars ($150,000) per month.

Concurrently with the delivery of the Monthly Report for the final month of each Term Quarter, Manager will calculate the Estimated Quarterly Incentive Management Fee for such Term Quarter, and will promptly deliver notice of such calculation to Owner. The Estimated Quarterly Incentive Management Fee (or undisputed portion thereof, if Owner disputes such calculation) will be payable to Manager within ten (10) calendar days after Manager delivers such calculation to Owner. As soon as EBITDAM actually achieved for a

Term Year has been ascertained, Manager will calculate the resulting Reconciliation Amount, and will promptly deliver notice of such calculation to Owner. If the Reconciliation Amount for a Term Year is a positive value, then the Manager will receive the Reconciliation Amount within ten (10) calendar days after invoice to Owner therefor. If the Reconciliation Amount for a Term Year is a negative value, then the absolute value of such Reconciliation Amount will be set off against the immediately succeeding payments owing from Owner to Manager hereunder, unless this Agreement has been terminated in which event such amounts shall be paid over to Mortgagee.

6.3 Calculation of EBITDAM. Whenever a payment provided for under this Agreement requires a calculation of EBITDAM for a particular period, then such calculation will be made by Manager promptly upon unaudited financial statements for the Resort operations and covering the applicable period becoming available to Manager. If subsequent audited financial statements show that adjustments to EBITDAM for the particular period should be made, then either Party may send written notice of such fact to the other Party, and EBITDAM for the particular period will be adjusted accordingly. From and after any termination or expiration of this Agreement, Owner will deliver to Manager true and correct copies of all audited financial statements for the Resort operations for all periods covered by the Term promptly upon such audited financial statements becoming available.

6.4 Disputed Calculations. If Owner, in good faith, disputes any calculation provided by Manager pursuant to SECTION 6, then Owner will provide Manager with written notice of such dispute within ten calendar days after Owner’s receipt of such calculation, with such notice to provide Owner’s calculation of the relevant amount in reasonable detail. The Parties will then promptly and in good faith strive to expeditiously resolve such dispute; provided, however, that any disputed calculations not so resolved within thirty (30) days after the date that Owner has provided notice of the dispute may be submitted by either Party to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 18.2.

6.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. Owner agrees that upon the presentation of appropriate invoices, Owner will reimburse Manager for (i) reasonable out of pocket “coach” class airfare and other travel expenses necessary for Manager to perform its duties hereunder, including without limitation, lodging, means and rental cars, but specifically excluding any travel expenses incurred in commuting to and from the Resort by any of the Warner Employees other than Xxxxx Xxxxxx, (ii) reasonable meal expenses incurred during any authorized travel in connection with performing Manager’s duties hereunder, (iii) reasonable attorney fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of Manager’s duties hereunder (excluding any costs of the in-house legal counsel of Manager or Manager’s parent company), (iv) other expenses as agreed by Owner from time to time, and (v) any out of pocket fees, charges, or other expenses incurred by Manager in connection with obtaining any Approvals, as well as any excise or similar tax that may be imposed upon Manager with respect to the fulfillment of its duties hereunder (provide, however, that in no event is the foregoing to be interpreted as a requirement to reimburse Manager for amounts constituting income tax of Manager) (collectively, “Reimbursable Expenses”). Any such reimbursements shall be for the amount of the actual cost of the expense, without premium or markup. Manager shall submit an invoice to Owner on a monthly basis setting forth the Reimbursable Expenses incurred by Manager in connection with Manager’s performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. With respect to such

Reimbursable Expenses, the invoice shall include an itemized account of such expenses, together with reasonable and appropriate documentation and receipts verifying the amounts of the expenses. Owner will pay the invoices submitted by Manager within ten (10) calendar days of receipt by Owner.

7.3 Manager’s Obligations Subject to Sufficient Capital. In no event will the Manager be responsible for providing operating capital for the operation of the Resort, the Adjacent Property, or the Café Property.

For each Accounting Period, unless such reserve is funded by deposits made by a servicer or other agent under a cash management agreement required by a Mortgagee, Manager shall deposit out of Gross Revenues into a separate Resort bank account as a reserve for replacement of FF&E and the cost of Routine Capital Expenditures

(the “FF&E Reserve”) in the amount of three and one-half percent (3.5%) of Gross Revenues. At the end of each Fiscal Year, any amounts remaining in the FF&E Reserve shall be carried forward to the next Fiscal Year, and shall be in addition to the amount to be reserved in the next Fiscal Year. Any interest earned on the FF&E Reserve shall be added to the FF&E Reserve. All expenditures from the FF&E Reserve shall be made in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

8.2.2 Capital Expenditures. Owner will expend such amounts for Capital Expenditures as shall be required, in the course of the operation of the Resort, to maintain, at a minimum, the Resort in compliance with any Legal Requirements and to comply with the Approved Capital Plan and the Loan Agreement. The cost of the Capital Expenditures shall be paid by Manager out of the FF&E Reserve or provided by Owner from the Working Capital Reserve, in either event in accordance with the Loan Agreement. The Manager shall have no right to incur Capital Expenditures without Owner’s prior written consent except in accordance with the Approved Capital Plan or subject to any limitations in the Loan Agreement, to correct an emergency condition (which may include without limitation, maintenance, replacements or repairs which require immediate action to preserve and protect the Resort, assure its continued operation, and/or protect the comfort, health, safety and/or welfare of the Resort’s guests or Resort Employees). If Capital Expenditures are required by reason of any law, ordinance, regulation or order of a competent Government Authority, Manager shall promptly give Owner notice thereof, but only upon Owner’s prior written approval (which approval may be granted or withheld in Owner’s reasonable discretion) shall Manager be authorized to incur such expenditures or to contest the law, ordinance, regulation or order requiring such expenditure (subject to the immediately preceding sentence). Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, all remaining amounts in the FF&E Reserve shall be promptly remitted to Owner by Manager.

Manager shall use its diligent efforts to prevent any liens from being filed against the Resort which arise from any maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions, improvements or restoration in or to the Resort and to obtain the release of any liens which may be filed, utilizing Resort funds available for payment therefor, unless Owner elect to contest any such lien. To the extent that Manager becomes aware that any such liens have been filed, Manager shall promptly notify Owner.

9.4 Manager Intellectual Property. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Manager owns all right, title and interest in the Manager Intellectual Property and disclaims any right, title or interest thereto.

Manager’s obligations pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall survive Termination.

12.2 Indemnification of Manager. To the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements, Owner shall indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend Manager, its Affiliates, and all of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members, employees, agents, successors and assigns harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, liens, suits, judgments, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising

from or connected with the Resort, the management of the Resort by Manager, or the performance or exercise of any of the duties, obligations, powers or authorities herein or pursuant to the Liquor Management Agreement, the Gaming Management Agreement or the IP License or hereafter granted to Manager by Owner; provided, however, that Owner shall have no obligation to indemnify Manager for those matters for which Manager is obligated to indemnify Owner pursuant to Section 12.1 above. Owner’s obligations pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall survive Termination. For avoidance of doubt, “Resort” as used in this Section 12.2 includes the Adjacent Property and the Café Property.

12.3 Indemnification Procedure. Any indemnified party shall be entitled, upon written notice to the indemnifying party, to the timely appointment of counsel by the indemnifying party for the defense of any claim, which counsel shall be subject to the approval of the indemnified party. If, in the indemnified party’s judgment, a conflict of interest exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party at any time during the defense of the indemnified party, the indemnified party may appoint independent counsel of its choice for the defense of the indemnified party as to such claim. Additionally, regardless of whether the indemnified party is appointed counsel or selects independent counsel (i) the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any claim and approve any proposed settlement of such claim, and (ii) all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees of the indemnified party shall be borne by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party fails to timely pay such costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees, the indemnified party may, but shall not be obligated to, pay such amounts and be reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the same, which amounts shall bear interest at the rate provided for in Section 15.2.3 until paid in full. The Parties hereby acknowledge that it shall not be a defense to a demand for indemnity that less than all claims asserted against the indemnified party are subject to indemnification. If a claim is covered by the indemnifying party’s liability insurance, the indemnified party, subject to a standard of commercial reasonableness, shall not take or omit to take any action that would cause the insurer not to defend such claim or to disclaim liability in respect thereof.

12.4 Insurance Coverage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this SECTION 12, the Parties shall first tender to the insurer under the respective insurance policies covering any third-party claim. If such insurance policies are subject to a deductible or self-insured retention, the indemnified party may request indemnification up to the amount of the deductible or self-insurance retention. If the insurance company denies coverage or reserves rights as to coverage, then the indemnified parties shall have the right to indemnification in accordance with this SECTION 12. The provisions of this Section 12.4 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

12.5 Limitation of Liability. NO PARTY HERETO SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO FOR ANY PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES except to the extent that any of the foregoing described damages are claimed against a Party or its indemnitee parties by a third party, and such Party is entitled to indemnification from the other Party hereto pursuant to this SECTION 12 with respect to such third-party claim.

SECTION 13. HOTEL EMPLOYEES.

13.1 Hiring and Compensation of Employees. All Resort Employees (including the Chief Operating Officer) shall at all times be the employees of the Resort Owner, and in no event shall they be deemed to be employees of Manager, except with respect to those Resort Employees that Manager expressly agrees in writing will be employed by Manager. Subject to the Approved Resort Operating Plan, Manager shall have discretion to hire, promote, supervise, direct, train and terminate all Resort Employees; to determine their compensation; and, generally, to establish and maintain all policies relating to employment (except, prior to the Takeover Date, if any, to the extent of the Resort Employees’ involvement in Gaming Operations). Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts and exercise reasonable care to select qualified, competent and trustworthy Resort Employees. No individual whose prior activities, criminal record, if any, or reputation, habits and associations are known to pose a threat to the public interest, the effective regulation of Gaming, or to the gaming licenses of the Manager or the Owner or any of their Affiliates, or to create or enhance the dangers of unsuitable, unfair or illegal practices and methods and activities in the conduct of Gaming, shall knowingly be employed by the Manager or the Resort Owner. Without limitation of the foregoing, no person that has been found unsuitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities or that has not received a license or employee registration as required by the Gaming Act may be a gaming employee. Any costs associated with obtaining background investigations of employees and prospective employees shall constitute an Operating Expense. Owner shall have the right to interview and approve the individuals selected by Manager as the Chief Operating Officer, the chief financial officer and other positions having a title of “President” or “Vice President” prior to their appointment (collectively, the “Executive Staff”). Prior to appointing any member of the Executive Staff, Manager shall provide Owner with a written summary of such individual’s professional experience and qualifications and shall offer Owner the opportunity to interview the candidate at the Resort or another mutually acceptable location. The removal or termination of any member of the Executive Staff shall be subject to prior consultation with Owner.

13.2 Laws Relating to Employees. Manager shall maintain all personnel records and payroll systems for Resort Employees and shall comply with all record keeping and reporting requirements of all state and federal laws relating to employees, including state and federal Form 941-A preparation, EEOC reporting, worker’s compensation reporting, wage and hour compliance, Form W-4 and Form W-2 preparation, Form I-9’s, occupational license taxes, wage administration, personnel guidelines and processing, and employee fringe benefits reporting. Manager shall comply with all other state and federal laws relating to employees, including, without limitation, all laws relating to immigration, naturalization and resident aliens and all laws relating to wage and hours, EEO, NLRA, OSHA and ERISA.

13.3 Employees Residing at Resort. No employees shall reside at the Resort or shall be permitted free accommodations at the Resort unless such residency and any free accommodations are a clearly delineated item of an Approved Resort Operating Plan or otherwise approved in writing in advance by Owner.

13.4 Employee Claims. The defense and resolution of all Employee Claims, regardless of the entity against which Employee Claims are made, shall be subject the limitations and

restrictions set forth in Section 2.12.6. Either Party shall promptly give notice to the other Party of any Employee Claim made against such Party.

13.5 Non-recruitment of Employees. Owner and Manager each covenant and agree that, during the Term and for a period of one year after the expiration of or any termination of this Agreement, neither it nor its Affiliates will directly or indirectly employ, cause to be employed, solicit or recruit for engagement or employment, or encourage to leave employment with the other Party, any employee of the other Party or any of their Affiliates; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit general advertisement or solicitations that are not directed to such employees (but further provided that a Party’s employee may not be employed or hired in contravention of this Section 13.5 if such employee responds to any such permitted non-directed advertisement or solicitation), nor shall anything in the foregoing apply to any employee of Owner, who, within twelve (12) months prior to the commencement of employment with Owner, were employed by Manager or any of its Affiliates. Owner and Manager acknowledge and agree that the obligations set forth in this Section 13.5 are a direct inducement for each Party to enter into this Agreement.

SECTION 14. CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION.

14.1 Damage and Condemnation. Subject to the rights of any Mortgagee, if the Resort or any material portion thereof is condemned, destroyed or materially damaged, Owner will determine whether or not to restore or replace the Resort to a condition at least substantially comparable to that before the casualty or condemnation occurred. Owner will notify Manager, within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the condemnation, destruction or material damage in question of its election of whether or not to cause restoration/replacement to be undertaken. If Owner does not notify Manager in writing within such period that Owner has elected to restore or replace the Resort to a condition at least substantially comparable to that before the casualty or condemnation occurred, or if Owner does provide such notice within such period, but subsequently fails to prosecute such restoration or replacement with reasonable diligence continuously until completion, then Manager may terminate this Agreement ninety (90) days following written notice to Owner and an opportunity to complete restoration. To the extent that operation of the Resort is rendered impossible or commercially impracticable by virtue of casualty or condemnation, then, for so long as such operation is impossible or commercially impracticable, Manager’s obligations to operate the Resort hereunder, will be suspended. Any such period of suspension will not be deemed to have been part of the Term and the date of expiration of the Term shall be extended by the number of days of such period.

14.2 Participation in Condemnation Award. In the event of any condemnation of the Resort or any portion thereof, Manager shall not participate in any respect in any part of the condemnation award that may be made. Nothing herein contained, however, shall preclude Manager from asserting as against the condemning authority its claim for injury or damages occasioned by such condemnation to operation of the Resort under Applicable Laws, provided any such claim does not diminish Owner’s condemnation award.

SECTION 15. TERMINATION.

15.1 Event of Default.

(a) Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement:

(ii) Manager shall fail to maintain all necessary Approvals required by Governmental Authorities to operate the Resort and shall fail to cure such default within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) calendar days after written notice from Owner, and (ii) the expiration of the administrative cure period, if any, provided by the Governmental Authorities.

(iii) From and after the Takeover Date, and as otherwise applicable, Manager shall fail to comply with the Gaming Act or any requirements of any Governmental Authorities, and such failure shall result in the suspension (temporary or permanent) or impairment of the operation of the Resort (or any portion thereof), or fines in excess of (i) $100,000 per incident, or (ii) $250,000 in the aggregate over any period of twelve consecutive months during the Term.

(iv) Manager shall materially fail to comply with the IP License or otherwise comply with the terms of SECTION 9, and fail to cures such failure within ten (10) days after written notice from Owner.

The right to terminate this Agreement may be exercised by written notice to the defaulting party and this Agreement shall terminate on either (1) the date expressly provided for in this Agreement; or (2) if not specified in this Agreement, the date mutually agreed upon by the Parties, which date shall in no event be sooner than ten (10) days, nor later than ninety (90) days, after the delivery of such notice; provided, however, that such period may be extended by Owner to allow for a Transition Period, as described in Section 3.4.

(d) The right of termination set forth in the preceding sentence, if available, shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies at law or in equity by reason of the occurrence of any such Event of Default, it being understood and agreed that the exercise of the remedy of termination shall not constitute an election of remedies and shall be without prejudice to any such other rights or remedies otherwise available to the non-defaulting party.

15.3 Unsuitability.

15.3.1 Manager Unsuitability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any Owner is notified by any regulatory agency that its continued association with Manager is likely to jeopardize the obtaining of or retention of any license, permit or approvals pursued or held by Owner or any of its Affiliates in any jurisdiction, then Owner will notify Manager in writing, and Manager will have thirty (30) days from the date of such notification to cure or otherwise address the suitability issue to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction. If Manager fails to cure or otherwise address the suitability issue to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction, then Owner may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Manager.

15.3.2 Owner Unsuitability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Manager is notified by any regulatory agency that its continued association with any Party comprising Owner is likely to jeopardize the obtaining of or retention of any license, permit or approvals pursued or held by Manager or any of its Affiliates in any jurisdiction, then Manager will notify Owner in writing, and Owner will have thirty (30) days from the date of such notification to cure or otherwise address the suitability issue to Manager’s reasonable satisfaction. If Owner fails to cure or otherwise address the suitability issue to Manager’s reasonable satisfaction, then Manager may terminate this Lease immediately upon written notice to Owner.

SECTION 16. ASSIGNMENT.

Manager shall not assign this Agreement other than to an Affiliate without Owner’s prior written approval, which may be withheld in Owner’s sole discretion. Owner may not assign this Agreement, other than to Mortgagee or to an Affiliate succeeding to ownership of the Resort,

without Manager’s prior written approval, which may be withheld in Manager’s sole discretion. Any assignment which is not in compliance with this Section 16 shall be void and shall constitute an Event of Default. If a non-assigning Party consents to an assignment by the other Party of its interests hereunder, any subsequent assignment shall require the express approval of the non-assigning Party. No assignment by a Party hereto shall relieve such Party of, and such assigning Party shall remain responsible for, all of its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement. Manager hereby agrees to execute and deliver all agreements reasonably requested by Mortgagee to affirm the right of Mortgagee to succeed to Owner’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the right of Mortgagee to further assign this Agreement to a successor or assign.

SECTION 17. FINANCING.

17.1 Mortgages. Without the consent of Manager, Owner may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this SECTION 17, from time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any lien upon its interest in the Resort, or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether to secure any borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing. Any and all such liens or mortgages, deeds of trust or trust deeds encumbering Owner’s interest in the Resort are hereafter collectively referred to herein, individually and collectively, as the “Mortgage,” and the holders of such Mortgage, or of the indebtedness secured thereby, are herein referred to as, individually and collectively, the “Mortgagee.” Manager shall, upon request of Owner or any Mortgagee, and to the extent in Manager’s possession, (i) provide Owner and/or any Mortgagee with copies of all licenses, permits, occupancy agreements, operating agreements, leases, contracts, notes, inspection reports, studies, appraisals, assessments, default or other notices and similar materials reasonably requested in connection with any existing or proposed financing of the Resort, and (ii) execute such reasonable collateral assignments with respect to the licenses and any of the other aforementioned agreements relating to the Resort as Owner and/or such Mortgagee may reasonably request in connection with any such financing, provided that no such collateral assignment shall modify the terms of this Agreement.

17.2 Subordination. This Agreement, and any and all rights of Manager hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to any Mortgage and the other related Loan Documents, and all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under any such Mortgage or other related Loan Documents. This Section 17.2 shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. Notwithstanding and without limiting the foregoing, in confirmation of such subordination, Manager shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Owner, any Mortgagee, or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination, and this Agreement shall be terminable by a Successor Owner in connection with or following a Foreclosure Event pursuant to the terms of such subordination instrument. Manager shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any amendment to this Agreement reasonably required by any Mortgagee, provided that such amendment does not (i) increase Manager’s financial obligations hereunder, or (ii) have a material adverse effect upon Manager’s rights hereunder, or (iii) materially increase Manager’s non-economic obligations hereunder, or (iv) decrease Owner’s obligations hereunder.

17.3 Cash Management Procedures. For any period during which cash management procedures are implemented by or on behalf of any Mortgagee, Manager shall abide by such procedures as directed in writing by the Mortgagee, including those current cash management and lockbox procedures in place as of the Effective Date. Furthermore, Manager agrees to direct all distributions into the lockbox account in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

17.4 Successor Owner. Subject to the termination rights of any Mortgagee as described in Section 17.2, in the event that any Mortgagee or the nominee or designee of any Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Owner under this Agreement (any such person, a “Successor Owner”), whether through possession or Foreclosure Event or delivery of a new deed, or otherwise, at such Successor Owner’s election, in its absolute discretion, such Successor Owner may elect to recognize Manager’s rights under this Agreement as herein provided and, in such event, Manager shall attorn to and recognize the Successor Owner as Owner under this Agreement and Manager shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Owner may reasonably request to evidence such attornment (provided that such instrument does not alter the terms of this Agreement), whereupon, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as a direct Agreement between the Successor Owner and Manager upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Agreement, except that the Successor Owner shall not be (a) liable in any way to Manager for any act or omission, neglect or default on the part of any prior Owner under this Agreement, (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with any prior Owner to the credit of Manager (except to the extent actually paid or delivered to the Successor Owner), (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff which theretofore accrued to Manager against any prior Owner, (d) bound by any modification of this Agreement entered into subsequent to the execution of the applicable Mortgage unless consented to by the applicable Mortgagee as required under this Agreement, (e) liable to Manager beyond the Successor Owner’s interest in the Resort and the income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits issuing from the Resort, or (f) responsible for the performance of any work to be done by Owner under this Agreement in connection with the Resort. Manager agrees at any time and from time to time to execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of Manager’s agreement to attorn, as aforesaid. The Successor Owner shall not be required to pay and Sale Buy-Out upon a foreclosure.

17.5 Notice to Mortgagee. No default notice from Manager to Owner under this Agreement shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to any Mortgagee(s). The curing of any Owner default by any Mortgagee(s) shall be treated as performance by Owner, provided any such cure shall be made within the time periods set forth herein. Any Mortgagee(s) shall have the right but not the obligation to remedy any Owner default under this Agreement, or to cause any default of Owner under this Agreement to be remedied, and for such purpose Manager hereby grants any Mortgagee(s), in addition to the period given to Owner for remedying defaults, an additional thirty (30) days to remedy, or cause to be remedied, any such default. Manager shall accept performance by any Mortgagee(s) of any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by Owner under this Agreement with the same force and effect as though performed by Owner. No Owner default under this Agreement shall exist or shall be deemed to exist (i) as long as any Mortgagee, in good faith, shall have commenced to cure such default within the above-referenced time period and shall be prosecuting the same to completion with reasonable diligence, subject to Force Majeure, or (ii) if possession of the Resort is required in order to cure such default, or if such default is not susceptible of being cured by any

Mortgagee, as long as any Mortgagee, in good faith, shall have notified Manager that such Mortgagee intends to institute proceedings under the Loan Documents, and, thereafter, as long as such proceedings shall have been instituted and shall be prosecuted with reasonable diligence. Neither any Mortgagee nor any Successor Owner shall become liable under this Agreement unless and until such Mortgagee or such other Successor Owner becomes, and then only with respect to periods in which such Mortgagee or such other Successor Owner remains, the owner of the Resort. In no event shall any Mortgagee or any other Successor Owner have any personal liability as successor to Owner, and Manager shall look only to the estate and property of such Mortgagee or such other Successor Owner in the Resort for the satisfaction of Manager’s remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money in the event of any default by any Mortgagee or other Successor Owner as Owner under this Agreement, and no other property or assets of any Mortgagee or any other Successor Owner shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Manager’s remedies with respect to this Agreement. Any Mortgagee shall have the right, without Manager’s consent, to foreclose its Mortgage either judicially or pursuant to the power of sale or to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure of such Mortgage or to exercise any other rights or remedies available under the Loan Documents and in connection therewith terminate this Agreement.

17.6 Consent of Mortgagee(s). Neither Owner or Manager shall modify, amend or supplement this Agreement, without, in each instance, the consent of any Mortgagee(s), which consent may be granted or withheld in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and any attempted modification, amendment or supplement without the consent of any Mortgagee(s) as provided herein shall be void ab initio.

SECTION 18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

18.1 Consent to Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 18.2, each of the Parties: (i) agrees to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court within the County of Xxxxx, State of Nevada, with respect to any claim or cause of action arising under or relating to this Agreement, and (ii) waives any objection based on forum non conveniens and any objection to venue with respect to any action brought in the foregoing-described courts. Each Party shall have the right to apply to a court of law to enjoin any breach of this Agreement to the extent that monetary damages or other remedies at law would not be an adequate remedy and injunctive or similar relief is necessary to prevent irreparable damage or injury to the Party seeking such injunctive or similar relief (including, without limitation, for any breach or anticipated or threatened breach of Section 2.10 or Section 13.5). In the event of any litigation or other formal dispute resolution procedure (other than arbitration in accordance with Section 18.2) between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be reimbursed for all costs incurred in connection with such litigation, arbitration or formal dispute resolution procedure, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The prevailing Party need not prevail on every issue in dispute, but must prevail on the main issue which is the subject of such dispute.

18.2 Arbitration. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 18.1 above, any disputes regarding the Resort Operating Plan, the amount of any payments or expenditures to be made under this Agreement or any other similar disputes regarding the calculation of monetary amounts, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be resolved by binding, self

administered arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and all such proceedings shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. There shall be three arbitrators. Each party shall designate an arbitrator within 30 days of the notification of a party’s intent to proceed with arbitration. The two arbitrators so designated shall elect a third arbitrator, who shall be neutral, and shall be a person who has at least eight years professional experience in the casino gaming industry and who has not previously been employed by either Party and does not have a direct or indirect interest in either Party or the subject matter of the arbitration. If either Party fails to designate an arbitrator within the time specified or the two Parties’ arbitrators fail to designate a third arbitrator within 30 days of their appointment, the remaining arbitrator(s) shall be appointed by the AAA. Each Party shall pay for the expenses incurred by its designated arbitrator and the costs of the third, neutral arbitrator shall be divided between the Parties. Only damages allowed pursuant to this agreement may be awarded and, without limitation of the foregoing, the arbitrators shall have no authority to award damages contravening in any way the limitation of liability agreed to by the Parties in Section 12.5. The arbitration panel shall apply the laws of the state of Nevada. The arbitration shall take place in Las Vegas, Nevada. ALL PROCEEDINGS, AWARDS AND DECISIONS UNDER ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING SHALL BE STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL AND THE ARBITRATORS SHALL EXECUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS ACKNOWLEDGING AND AGREEING TO THE SAME.

18.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION (AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT) AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE OTHER PARTY’S ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

18.4 Remedies Not Exclusive. Subject in all respects to the limitation of liability agreed to by the Parties in Section 12.5, the remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

18.5 Survival and Severance. The provisions of this SECTION 18 are intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and to survive and not be merged into any Termination of this Agreement or any judgment entered in connection with any dispute, regardless of whether such dispute arises before or after Termination of the Agreement, and regardless of whether the related arbitration or litigation proceedings occur before or after Termination of this Agreement. If any part of this SECTION 18 is held to be unenforceable, it shall be severed and shall not affect either the duty to mediate or arbitrate or any other part of this SECTION 18.

(a) Confidential Information. In connection with this Lease, Owner and Manager may disclose Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) to the other. The Party disclosing Confidential Information is referred to herein as the “Discloser,” and the Party receiving Confidential Information is referred to herein as the “Recipient.” “Confidential Information” means information, advice or know-how, whether tangible or intangible and in whatever form or medium and however disclosed, provided or communicated, with respect to Discloser’s business, operations, technology or advice to Recipient and is (i) proprietary to, about or created by Discloser; (ii) gives Discloser some competitive business advantage or the opportunity of obtaining such advantage or the disclosure of which could be detrimental to the interests of Discloser; (iii) designated as Confidential Information by Discloser, or from all the relevant circumstances should reasonably be assumed by the recipient thereof to be confidential and proprietary to Discloser; or (iv) not generally known by non-Discloser personnel. “Confidential Information” includes the terms and provisions of this Agreement, but does not

Further, “Confidential Information” shall not include information or data that: (w) is or becomes publicly known or available other than as a result of acts by Recipient in violation of this Agreement (which may include any publication of this Agreement by a Governmental Authority); (x) is known to or in the possession of Recipient prior to disclosure by Discloser; (y) is or becomes available to Recipient from third persons that to Recipient’s knowledge are not bound by a confidentiality agreement with Discloser prohibiting such disclosure; or (z) is independently created or developed by Recipient without the aid, application or use of the Confidential Information disclosed.

(b) Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. Recipient agrees that it will keep Confidential Information in strict confidence and not disclose Confidential Information to third parties (except as expressly provided below) and that Recipient will not use Confidential Information other than for the purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement. Recipient additionally agrees that it will disclose Confidential Information only to those of its employees, attorneys, accountant and advisors and any Mortgagee (any such parties, “Representatives”) who need the Confidential Information to assist Recipient in performing its obligations under this Agreement, provided that such Representatives are advised of the requirements of this Agreement and agree to abide by its terms.

In the event that Recipient is so requested or required to disclose any Confidential Information, the Recipient shall promptly notify the Discloser of such request or requirement prior to disclosure so that Discloser may, if it so elects, seek an appropriate protective order or otherwise seek to contest, limit or protect the confidentiality of any such requested or required disclosure.

(d) No License. No disclosure of Confidential Information to the Recipient will in any way be deemed a license or other grant of proprietary interest in Confidential Information.

In the event of a Force Majeure Event, the obligations of the parties and the time period for the performance of such obligations (other than the payment of money) shall be adjusted to the extent such parties are prevented, hindered, or delayed in such performance during the period of such Force Majeure Event (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the affected party shall give prompt, written notice of such Force Majeure Event to the other party setting forth a description of the Force Majeure Event and its cause (to the extent known to such party) and a description of the condition delaying the performance of such party’s obligations.

20.17 Recourse. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Parties hereby agree that no personal, partnership or corporate liability of any kind or character (including, without limitation, the payment of any judgment) whatsoever now attaches or at any time hereafter under any condition shall attach to any of Owner’s or Manager’s constituent entities, agents and Affiliates or any Mortgagee for payment of any amount payable under this Agreement or for the performance of any obligation under this Agreement (except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in other agreements). Manager shall look only to the estate, interest and property of Owner in the Resort, the Adjacent Property and the Café Property for the satisfaction of Manager’s remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money in the event of any default by Owner.

20.18 Takeover of Gaming Operations. The Parties acknowledge and agree that upon satisfaction of the Takeover Conditions, Manager shall takeover the management and operation of the Casino Premises. Following delivery of such written notice, Manager shall take over the management of the Casino Premises (including the Gaming Operations) for and on behalf of the Resort Owner pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the date on which such occurs, the “Takeover Date”), and the Parties and Mortgagee shall mutually agree upon any modifications to this Agreement reasonably required to address the inclusion of Gaming Operations and the Casino Premise as part of the Resort.

20.19 Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. Each Party agrees to act in good faith in dealing with one another pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party hereby covenants to the others that it shall not undermine the rights of the other Party hereto with respect to the Agreement and will cooperate with each other in achieving the goals of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing will be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the rights of a Party to terminate this Agreement or seek remedies for defaults hereunder, all as provided for in this Agreement.

20.20 Owner Liability. The Resort Owner, the Adjacent Property Owner, the IP Owner and the Café Owner agree that they are all jointly and severally liable with one another with respect to payments and obligations (including, without limitation, indemnification obligations) owing to the Manager hereunder.
