Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Operator shall, at MSC’s sole cost and expense as to all reasonable, out of pocket expenses incurred by Operator (unless termination is as a result of a breach by Operator), (i) use

reasonable efforts to facilitate the employment of the Casino Employees by such third party or by MSC or, failing such employment (other than due to a failure by Operator to use reasonable efforts to facilitate the employment of the Casino Employees), pay the Casino Employees such redundancy and/or other entitlements as required by Macau Law and/or as provided in the relevant employment contract (such redundancy and/or other entitlements to be Costs of Operations); (ii) if permitted by Law transfer title to any Gaming Assets from Operator to such third party or to MSC; and (iii) take such actions as may be required by the Macau Government in connection with the aforementioned transition.

Section 11.9 No Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 11.4), including in Article X hereof and this Article XI, if MSC is directly or indirectly under MCE Control (as defined below), then Operator may not pursue any remedies against MSC under or in connection with this Agreement (other than to cause compliance herewith), and shall not have any right to terminate this Agreement for so long as MSC is directly or indirectly under MCE Control. At any time from and after the time MSC is no longer directly or indirectly under MCE Control, Operator may pursue remedies against MSC under or in connection with this Agreement including any right it may have to terminate this Agreement, to the extent (and only to the extent) such remedies are available to Operator at such time under Article X hereof and this Article XI, provided, in each case, that if its right to pursue such remedies (including any termination right it may have) has arisen as a result of any action taken by MSC (or as a result of the failure of MSC to take any action) while MSC was directly or indirectly under MCE Control, then such right to pursue remedies (including any termination right it may have) may only be exercised by Operator if (a) the event that entitles Operator to pursue any remedies under this Agreement or to terminate this Agreement is beyond MCE’s reasonable control, for example as a direct result of the material deterioration of general business and financial conditions affecting the operation of casinos in Macau generally, or (b) MCE has used its commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the breach caused by such event while MSC is directly or indirectly under MCE Control (and provided that, in either case under clause (a) or (b), MCE shall not be required to fund the operation of the Casino nor shall MCE or the Shareholders be required to fund or inject equity into, or make other payments in relation to, the Project above the thresholds agreed as of the Amendment Effective Date). For the purposes hereof, MSC shall be deemed to be directly or indirectly controlled by MCE at all times during which:

(i) MCE directly, or indirectly through one or more interposed entities, owns and controls MSC as conclusively determined by holding a majority of the voting power of MSC or having the right to appoint a majority of the board of directors or similar governing body of MSC, and

(ii) MCE directly, or indirectly through one or more interposed entities, owns and controls the other entities which own and control the Site, the hotel facilities within the Project and other facilities which are material for purposes of sustaining operations of the Project as a whole and the Casino in particular (the “Key Non-Gaming Entities”), with ownership and control in each instance being conclusively determined by holding a majority of the voting power in or having the right to appoint a majority of the board of directors or similar governing body of such Key Non-Gaming Entities, provided that, in the event any of the foregoing entities (or all or substantially all of such

entity’s assets) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, directly or indirectly, to a third party while such entity is directly or indirectly under MCE Control (other than in connection with any action taken by a Lender to enforce any Lien against such entity or such entity’s assets or the entities through which MCE directly or indirectly holds the Key Non-Gaming Entities or their assets), such entity shall no longer be deemed to be a Key Non-Gaming Entity, and

(iii) no Lender has taken any action to foreclose on or enforce any Lien against MSC, any Key Non-Gaming Entity or any such interposed entities or their assets which prevents MCE from exercising any such power or right in clause (i) or (ii) or the result of which is that MCE is fundamentally deprived of ownership or control over MSC, any Key Non-Gaming Entity or any such interposed entities or their assets, which assets are material for purposes of sustaining operations of the Project as a whole and the Casino in particular or the exercise of any such powers or right (“MCE Control”).

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1 Assignment and Subcontractors.

(a) No party shall assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement other than to a direct or indirect subsidiary (provided that, in the case of an assignment by Operator, the direct or indirect subsidiary holds a Gaming License, and in the case of assignment by Operator, Operator is not relieved of the obligation to perform and such assignment will not have a material adverse effect on Operator’s ability to perform under the Transaction Documents) or, in the case of MSC, as required in connection with any financing for the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 14.1(a) shall not restrict any direct or indirect MSC Change of Control or any assignment of this Agreement and delegation of MSC’s duties hereunder in connection with any direct or indirect sale or disposal by MSC of any of its assets or businesses (an “MSC Change of Control Transaction”); provided, that, if such transaction would result in a material adverse effect upon Operator’s Gaming License, Operator may (subject to Section 14.1(b)) terminate the Transaction Documents; provided further that if the transaction (A) (1) is not a Competitor Termination Event and (2) has been approved by the Macau Government, or (B) was undertaken by MSC while under MCE Control), then the foregoing proviso shall no longer be applicable. The assignment of rights or delegation of duties by a party to its direct or indirect subsidiary shall not relieve the party of its obligations under this Agreement. Save as may be required in connection with any financing for the Company or any of its subsidiaries, MSC shall not directly or indirectly sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of MSC’s rights as to the Casino unless MSC either terminates the Transaction Documents in accordance with Section 11.4 or also assigns its rights and delegates its duties under this Agreement to the transferee or an affiliate of the transferee. In the case of an assignment of this Agreement by MSC in connection with a financing by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, no Lender shall be required to assume the obligations of MSC under this Agreement (but it may do so if it so elects), unless and until that Lender has exercised remedies under any Lien such that it becomes the counterparty to this Agreement or the owner of the Casino, in which event it shall be required to assume the obligations of MSC under this Agreement from and after the date thereof and the other provisions hereof. Any Lender providing financing to MSC or its Affiliates in connection with the Project and wishing to take a security interest in the Casino premises, or which on enforcement would affect the right of Operator to occupy the Casino premises under this Agreement, shall, at the request of the Operator, enter into an agreement with Operator providing that such Lender shall not unreasonably interfere with Operator’s right to occupy the Casino premises in accordance with this Agreement, on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Operator and such Lender, as a condition of Lender taking such security. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.3 (h), the Operator shall be entitled to pledge and assign its rights under the Tax Account and the Costs of Operation Account in favour of any Lender providing financing in connection with the Project.

(b) MSC shall provide written notice (the “MSC Change of Control Notice”) to Operator of any contemplated MSC Change of Control Transaction that was not undertaken by MSC while under MCE Control (except in case of enforcement of any Lien by a Lender). The MSC Change of Control Notice must provide a reasonable description of the proposed transaction, the names of all proposed beneficial owners the nature and proportion of each beneficial owner’s ownership. Until such information is provided, MSC will not have delivered an MSC Change of Control Notice. Within twenty (20) business days after delivery of the MSC Change of Control Notice, Operator shall inform MSC in writing whether it reasonably believes that such transaction would result in a material adverse effect upon Operator’s Gaming License. If MSC disputes Operator’s determination that an MSC Change of Control Transaction would result in a material adverse effect upon Operator’s Gaming License, then the parties shall address such Dispute in accordance with the procedures set forth in ARTICLE XV. The provisions of this Section 14.1(b) are without prejudice to any other provisions of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a failure by Operator to inform MSC in writing that Operator reasonably believes that the contemplated MSC Change of Control Transaction would result in a material adverse effect upon Operator’s Gaming License shall be without prejudice to Operator’s rights to subsequently terminate this Agreement under any applicable provision of this Agreement (including ARTICLE XI and Section 14.1(a)) as a result of or in connection with the MSC Change of Control Transaction or any other matter howsoever or whatsoever.

(c) The provisions of Sections 14.1(a) and (b) are without prejudice to the provisions of Section 11.4 and in the event of any conflict, the provisions of Section 11.4 shall prevail and be overriding. Accordingly, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an MSC Change of Control Transaction is also a Competitor Termination Event Section 11.4 shall apply irrespective of the provisions of Sections 14.1(a) or (b) and irrespective of whether the relevant transaction has been approved by the Macau Government. If the MSC Change of Control Transaction is not a Competitor Termination Event, the provisions of Sections 14.1(a) and (b) shall apply to the relevant transaction.

(d) Subject to the foregoing limitations, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby. Except as set forth in Section 14.1(a), the assignee of the rights of a party under this Agreement permitted by applicable Law, shall assume the obligations of the relevant party under this Agreement as a condition of the assignment.

In consideration of being furnished such Confidential Information, the parties each agree to keep such Confidential Information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Each receiving party and its Representatives shall use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of evaluating the Transaction and performing its obligations hereunder and shall keep the Confidential Information confidential and not disclose any of the Confidential Information to any person, except that the Confidential Information or portions thereof may be disclosed to those directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, co-investors (with respect to Operator, including without limitation MCE, Crown and Melco), attorneys, and accountants of the receiving party (collectively, the “Representatives”) (i) who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating the Transaction or performing its obligations hereunder and (ii) who are informed by the receiving party of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information. In addition, (v) MSC and its Representatives may disclose that Operator will, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, occupy and operate the Casino for MSC on the Site, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to potential hotel and mall developers/operators and other third parties who may develop or operate a portion of the Site, engineers, architects, consultants and other professionals involved in the development of the Project, (w) MSC may disclose this Agreement and such Confidential Information or portions thereof (other than the Subconcession Agreement or the Side Letter or subsequent agreements or other documents constituting part of the subconcession, or any portion of any of them) to potential new operators of the Casino and their representatives in preparation for expiration or termination of this Agreement, (x) any party may disclose this Agreement and such Confidential Information or portions thereof to potential financing sources, underwriters, arrangers or advisers and financing sources, and their Representatives, or as required by law in connection with any such financing, provided that the prior approval of the Macau Government must be obtained for the disclosure of the Subconcession Agreement or the Side Letter or subsequent agreements or other documents constituting part of the subconcession, or any portion of any of them under this clause (x) (and Operator will if requested by MSC use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approval of the Macau Government), (y) any party or its respective Representatives may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by the rules of any stock exchange on which the securities of the relevant party or its respective Representatives are listed and traded, or otherwise pursuant to applicable securities laws, provided that the prior approval of the Macau Government must be obtained for the disclosure by MSC or its Representatives of the Subconcession Agreement or the Side Letter or subsequent agreements or other documents constituting part of the subconcession, or any portion of any of them under this clause (y) (and Operator will if requested by MSC use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approval of the Macau Government) and (z) any party may disclose this Agreement and such Confidential Information or portions thereof if reasonably necessary in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement under ARTICLE XV hereof. Operator and MSC agree to undertake reasonable precautions to safeguard and protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and to prevent their respective Representatives (and other persons to whom disclosure is authorized hereby) from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or uses of the Confidential Information. Operator and MSC shall each be responsible for any breach of this Section 14.18 of this Agreement by their respective

Representatives and such other persons. In the event that a receiving party or any of its Representatives are requested or required by law, regulatory authority (including stock exchange), deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar legal process (collectively, “legal requirements”) to disclose any of the other party’s Confidential Information or any information of the type described in paragraph (e) of this Section 14.18 other than (in each case) disclosure by Operator to any Gaming Authority(ies) or Governmental Authority(ies) in the ordinary course of performing its obligations under this Agreement, such receiving party shall provide the other party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement in order to enable the other party to (a) seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy or (b) waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms hereof; and such receiving party shall consult and cooperate with the other parties to the fullest extent permitted by legal requirements with respect to taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or legal process. If, in the absence of a protective order, a receiving party or any of its Representatives are nonetheless, based upon the advice of its counsel or counsel of such Representative, required by legal requirements to disclose Confidential Information of the other parties (and except, in the case of Operator, disclosure to any Gaming Authority(ies) or Governmental Authority(ies) in the ordinary course of performing Operator’s obligations under this Agreement), such receiving party shall (a) furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that it is advised by counsel is legally required, (b) give advance notice to the other party of the information to be disclosed as far in advance as is practical, and (c) exercise commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

(c) All Confidential Information will be and will remain solely the property of the disclosing party, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

(d) The term “Confidential Information” does not include any information that (i) at the time of disclosure is, or becomes, generally available to and known by the public (other than as a direct or indirect result of a disclosure by the receiving party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement) or (ii) was available to the receiving party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the disclosing party or its Representatives) that is not and was not prohibited from disclosing such information to the receiving party by a contractual, legal, or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party.

(e) Without the prior written consent of (i) Operator, in the case of MSC, or (ii) MSC, in the case of Operator, or except as required by legal requirements (subject to compliance with paragraph (b) of this Section 14.18, to the extent applicable), or except as permitted and subject to compliance with paragraph (b) of this Section 14.18, no party nor its Representatives shall (i) disclose to any person other than its Representatives (a) that this Agreement exists, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, (c) that any investigations, discussions, or negotiations are taking place concerning the Transaction involving the parties, (d) that it has requested or received any Confidential Information, or (e) any of the terms, conditions, or other facts or information with respect to the Transaction or such investigations, discussions, or negotiations, including the status thereof or any opinion or

view with respect to the parties or the Confidential Information. The term “person” as used in this Section 14.18 shall be broadly interpreted to include the media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual, or entity.

(f) To the extent that any Confidential Information may include material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, the parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All Confidential Information provided by Operator and MSC that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege and stamped and identified as such shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine. Nothing in this Section 14.18 obligates any party to reveal material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege.

(g) In the case of a disclosure by a party or its Representative required by the rules of any stock exchange on which the securities of the relevant party or its respective Representative are listed and traded or otherwise by applicable securities laws which is permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.18, the disclosing party shall (or shall procure that its Representative shall) give the other parties a reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed form of disclosure but that shall not prevent the relevant party or its Representative from complying with its obligations under the rules of the relevant stock exchange or applicable securities laws.

(h) The parties each acknowledge that the disclosing party would be irreparably injured by a breach of this Section 14.18 by a receiving party or its Representatives, and that monetary remedies at law would be inadequate to protect the disclosing party against any actual or threatened breach of this Section 14.18 by a receiving party or its Representatives, and, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to MSC or Operator, the parties each agree to the granting of equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, in the favor of a disclosing party without proof of actual damages. The parties each agree to reimburse a disclosing party for reasonable legal fees and other costs incurred to enforce this Section 14.18.

(i) The obligations under this Section 14.18 shall survive the Term or earlier termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years following the Term or earlier termination of this Agreement, provided that such the expiration of the Term or the earlier termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the receiving party from its responsibilities in respect of any breach of this Section 14.18 prior to such termination.

Section 14.19 No Diversion. During the Term, Operator shall not direct or divert patrons of the Casino to other hotel or casino facilities.

(a) First, representatives appointed by the highest ranking corporate officer of each party to the Dispute shall engage in consultations with respect to such Dispute. Such consultation shall begin immediately after one party has delivered to the other party or parties a written notice for such consultation.

(b) If the Dispute is not resolved for any reason within thirty (30) days following the date on which such notice is given, the Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration upon the request of any party to the Dispute with notice to the other party or parties to the Dispute (the “Arbitration Notice”).

The two party-appointed arbitrators shall jointly select the third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair of the arbitral tribunal.

(h) Any party shall be entitled to seek preliminary injunctive relief, if possible, from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the constitution of the arbitral tribunal. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies that may be granted by a national court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, to order a party to seek modification or vacation of an injunction issued by a national court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

(i) During the course of the arbitral tribunal’s adjudication of the Dispute, this Agreement shall continue to be performed except with respect to the part in dispute and under adjudication.

(j) The cost of arbitration (including reasonable legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses reasonably incurred, by any prevailing party with respect to the investigation, collection, prosecution and/or defense of any claim in the Dispute) shall be borne by the losing party or, if there is more than one losing party, pro rata by each losing party.
