AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and covenants set forth in this Agreement, and in consideration of the entry by the Parties into the Lease/MLSA Related Agreements as more particularly described in Section 1.3 below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS AND EXHIBITS

1.1 Definitions. All capitalized terms used without definition in the body of this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit B attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.

1.2 Exhibits. The exhibits listed in the table of contents and attached hereto are incorporated in, and deemed to be an integral part of, this Agreement.

1.3 Structure of this Agreement; Integration; Consideration. Tenant, Manager, CEC and Landlord each acknowledge and agree that, as of the Commencement Date, certain operating efficiencies and value will be achieved as a result of Tenant’s engagement of Manager and/or Manager’s Affiliates to operate and manage the Managed Facility, the Other Managed Facilities and the Other Managed Resorts that would not be possible to achieve if unrelated managers were engaged to operate each of the Managed Facility, the Other Managed Facilities and the Other Managed Resorts. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Parties would not enter into this Agreement, the Lease or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements absent the understanding and agreement of the Parties that the entire ownership, operation, management, lease and Lease Guaranty relationship with respect to the Managed Facility, including the lease of the Managed Facility pursuant to the Lease, the use of the Managed Facilities IP and the use of the Total Rewards Program, together with the other related Intellectual Property arrangements contemplated hereunder and under the Omnibus Agreement, all of the other covenants, obligations and agreements of the Parties hereunder and all of the covenants, obligations and agreements of each of the parties under each of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements, form part of a single integrated transaction. Accordingly, it is the express intention and agreement of the Parties that (a) each of the provisions of this Agreement, including (without limitation) the management and Lease Guaranty rights and obligations hereunder, form part of a single integrated agreement and shall not be or be deemed to be separate or severable agreements (except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 16.7) and (b) the Parties would not be entering into any of this Agreement, the Lease, or the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements without, in each case, contemporaneously entering into each and every other one of such agreements, and, accordingly, in the event of any dispute or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or any other proceedings in respect of any Party, such Party will not (and all

other Parties will oppose any effort to) separate, sever, reject, assume or assign (or attempt to, or support any other entity in attempting to, separate, sever, reject, assume or assign) any one of such agreements without concurrently treating each and every of the other of such agreements together and in the same manner, so that all such agreements are concurrently treated as one integrated agreement that is not separable or severable; provided, however, this Section 1.3 shall not limit the right of any Leasehold Lender to (x) make a Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Termination as expressly provided in Section 13.1.2 hereof or (y) enter into a New Lease and terminate this Agreement as expressly provided in Article XVII of the Lease, in each case under clause (x) or (y) subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Lease. Without limiting or vitiating any of the foregoing portion of this Section 1.3 (and, with respect to the Lease Guaranty, as more particularly provided in Section 17.3.5.6 hereof), each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any attempt (by any Party or otherwise) to separate, sever, reject, assume or assign the obligations of any Party under any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements, the obligations of all other Parties hereunder and thereunder (but, subject, in all events, to the provisions, terms and conditions of Article XIII, Section 16.7 and Article XXI hereof) shall continue unabated and in full force and effect. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding that each of the provisions of this Agreement, the Lease and the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements form part of a single integrated agreement, no Party shall have any obligation, or be deemed to have any obligation, to any other Party hereto (or otherwise be bound by any agreement to or with any other Party hereto), whether by virtue of its inclusion as a Party hereto, by implication or otherwise, except solely as and to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, in the Lease or in the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements.

ARTICLE II

APPOINTMENT/TERM

2.1 Grant of Authority.

2.1.1 Engagement of Manager. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Tenant hereby engages Manager, and Manager hereby agrees to be engaged, as Tenant’s agent and exclusive manager to Operate the Managed Facility during the Term. The Parties acknowledge that the scope of Manager’s authority and duties to Operate the Managed Facility are limited to the authority and duties set forth in this Agreement. Tenant and Manager shall Operate the Managed Facility under one or more Brands; provided that (a) Tenant shall have the right, subject to the receipt of (i) any required approval from any Governmental Authority and (ii) Manager’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to change the Brand under which the Managed Facility is operated to any other brand, with the costs of such rebranding borne by Tenant, (b) Tenant shall give Landlord prior notice of any change to the top-level Brand of the Managed Facility, (c) the Managed Facility shall continue to be operated under all other Managed Facilities IP (subject to any Brand change and subject to any other approvals or consents required by this Section 2.1.1), and (d) any such Brand change shall be Non-Discriminatory, and shall not result in a change

in the overall quality and level of service at the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, below that required pursuant to Section 2.1.4. Manager shall reasonably assist Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, in connection with any such rebranding. If a Brand is replaced with another brand as permitted hereunder, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to make such changes to this Agreement as are necessary to give effect to such new brand.

2.1.2 Manager’s Standard of Care. Manager shall (a) execute its duties under this Agreement in its reasonable business judgment (the “Manager’s Standard of Care”), and (b) act as the agent of Tenant in connection with the performance of Manager’s duties as manager of the Managed Facility under this Agreement. Tenant agrees that Manager’s duties as agent to Tenant are further subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 2.3) and the Operating Limitations. Except for Manager’s indemnification obligations set forth in Article XII, Tenant agrees that, as between Tenant and Manager, Manager will have no liability for monetary damages or monetary relief to Tenant for any violation of Manager’s Standard of Care or claims of breach of any fiduciary duties or duties as agent unless such violation or breach was due to an action or event giving rise to a Manager Event of Default (disregarding any applicable notice and/or cure periods for such purpose).

2.1.3 Manager’s System Policies. Tenant acknowledges that Manager and/or Manager’s Affiliates operate other casino, racetrack, hotel, dining, retail, entertainment and other operations and that Manager or its Affiliates may derive benefits in addition to the fees and reimbursements paid hereunder, including in connection with marketing programs, the Total Rewards Program, Purchasing Programs, employment policies relating to the Managed Facility Personnel or other programmatic or policy activities that may be implemented from time to time at the discretion of CEC, Services Co or their Affiliates, and that extend through the majority of Gaming properties operated by Manager’s Affiliates (collectively, the “Manager’s System Policies”). Tenant agrees that Manager will not be in breach of its duties as agent hereunder if, solely as a result of Manager following the Manager’s System Policies, certain aspects of the Manager’s System Policies have the effect of providing greater benefit to properties owned or operated by Manager’s Affiliates collectively or third parties than to the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, so long as the Manager’s System Policies (i) are designed and executed in accordance with Manager’s Standard of Care, (ii) are Non-Discriminatory to the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, in both design and implementation and (iii) are not otherwise violative of or inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement; provided that any revisions to the Manager’s System Policies after the Commencement Date shall be implemented in a Non-Discriminatory manner; and provided, further, that Manager shall give Tenant and Landlord prior written notice of such revisions and no such revisions shall result in a change in the overall quality and/or the level of service at the Managed Facility below that required in Section 2.1.4(a) and otherwise under this Agreement without Tenant’s and Landlord’s prior written consent thereto. The foregoing shall not be deemed to excuse any breach by Manager of any of the express provisions of this Agreement.

2.1.4 General Grant of Authority – Managed Facility. On and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and to the extent delegable by Tenant under the Lease, Tenant hereby grants to Manager (and Manager hereby accepts) the right, authority and responsibility during the Term, and instructs Manager during the Term, to take all such actions for and on behalf of Tenant and the Managed Facility that Manager reasonably deems necessary or advisable to Operate the Managed Facility: (a) at a standard and level of service and quality (and otherwise on terms and in a manner) for all of the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, that in all events is not lower than the standard and the level of service and quality for the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, as of the Commencement Date; (b) in accordance in all material respects with the policies and programs in effect as of the Commencement Date at the Managed Facility (with such revisions thereto from time to time as Manager may implement in a Non-Discriminatory manner; provided that Manager shall give Tenant prior written notice of such revisions and no such revisions shall result in a material change in the overall quality and/or level of service at the Managed Facility below that required in the preceding portion of this Section 2.1.4 and otherwise under this Agreement without Tenant’s and Landlord’s prior written consent thereto in their respective sole and absolute discretion); (c) utilizing the Managed Facilities IP and the Proprietary Information and Systems in accordance in all material respects with the standards, policies and programs generally applicable to the use and implementation of the Managed Facilities IP and the Proprietary Information and Systems and in accordance with the Omnibus Agreement; provided that the same are Non-Discriminatory with respect to the Managed Facility (the standards and objectives described in clauses (a) through (c) being referred to collectively as the “Operating Standard”); and (d) in a Non-Discriminatory manner, subject in each case to the Operating Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1, Section 5.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt, Manager is not a subtenant, assignee or designee of Tenant under the Lease, and is acting solely as manager of the Leased Property (pursuant to this Agreement), subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease. Accordingly, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any rights or obligations of Tenant under the Lease that are delegated to Manager hereunder shall be limited to the Term of, and by the provisions, terms and conditions of, the Lease, and to the extent expressly set forth herein. Neither the exercise (directly or indirectly) by Manager of its rights and responsibilities hereunder nor any of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements shall serve, or be construed, to (x) grant to Manager a possessory or other real property interest in the Leased Property or any portion thereof or (y) limit or subrogate any or all of Tenant’s rights, obligations and responsibilities vis-à-vis Landlord under the Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, notices under this Agreement sent by any other Party hereto to Manager (or by Manager to any other Party hereto) shall not be deemed received by (or sent by) Tenant, and vice versa, except to the extent Tenant expressly authorizes Manager to do so on its behalf, and in the case of notices to or from Landlord, so advises Landlord of such authorization (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of Section 2.5 hereof, that notices or other communications sent by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to the Lease are not required to also be sent to Manager or (except to the extent provided in the last sentence of Section 16.1 of the Lease) to Lease Guarantor, in order to be effective thereunder).

2.1.5 Specific Actions Authorized by Tenant. Without limiting the generality of the authority granted to Manager in Section 2.1.4, but subject in each case to the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease, the Annual Budget then in effect, the Operating Limitations and the other provisions, terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the Manager’s Standard of Care, the Operating Standard, Applicable Law and the provisions, terms and conditions of Section 2.2, Tenant’s general grant of authority under Section 2.1.4 and this Section 2.1.5 shall specifically include the right, authority and responsibility of Manager to take, on behalf of Tenant during the Term, the following actions in a Non-Discriminatory manner (either directly or, to the extent permitted under this Agreement, through a third party designated or subcontracted by Manager, which may be an Affiliate of Manager), and in a manner consistent with the corporate policy applicable to the Other Managed Facilities and Other Managed Resorts:

2.1.5.1 (a) hire, supervise, train and discharge all Managed Facility Personnel; and (b) establish all salary, fringe benefits and benefits plans for the Managed Facility Personnel;

2.1.5.2 establish and administer Bank Accounts for the operation of the Managed Facility in accordance with Section 5.4;

2.1.5.3 prepare and deliver to Tenant for Tenant’s review and approval operating plans and budgets in accordance with Section 5.1;

2.1.5.4 plan, account for and supervise all repairs, capital replacements and improvements to the Managed Facility or any portion thereof in accordance with Sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2;

2.1.5.5 establish and maintain for the Managed Facility accounting, internal controls and reporting systems that are adequate to provide Tenant, Manager and the Designated Accountant with sufficient information about the Managed Facility to permit the preparation of the financial statements and reports contemplated in Article X and which are in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws;

2.1.5.6 negotiate, enter into and administer, in the name of Tenant, all subleases, service contracts, licenses and other contracts and agreements Manager deems necessary or advisable for the Operation of the Managed Facility, including contracts and licenses for: (a) health and life safety systems and security force and related security measures; (b) maintenance of all electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, elevator, boiler and other building systems; (c) electricity, gas and telecommunications (including television and internet service); (d) cleaning, laundry and dry cleaning services; (e) use of third party copyrighted materials (including games, filmed entertainment, music and videos); (f) entertainment; (g) Gaming machines and other Gaming equipment in the event applicable Gaming Regulations permit or require Tenant to own or lease and maintain such Gaming equipment and non-Gaming equipment; and (h) ownership and operation of Gaming servers;

If Tenant and Manager, despite their good faith efforts, are unable to reach final agreement on the proposed operating plan prior to January 1 of each Operating Year, or otherwise have a dispute regarding the Annual Budget as contemplated by this Section 5.1, those portions of such proposed operating plan that are not in dispute shall become effective on January 1 of such Operating Year and, pending Tenant’s and Manager’s resolution of such dispute, the prior year’s Annual Budget shall govern the items in dispute, except that the budgeted expenses provided for such item(s) in the prior year’s Annual Budget (or, if earlier, the last Annual Budget in which the budgeted expenses for such disputed item(s) were approved) shall be increased by the percentage increase in the Index from January 1 of the prior Operating Year (or, if applicable, each additional Operating Year between the prior Operating Year and the Operating Year in which there became effective the last Annual Budget in which the budgeted expenses for such disputed item(s) were approved). Upon the resolution of any such dispute by agreement of Tenant and

Manager, such resolution shall control as to such item(s). For purposes of clarity, all disputes regarding the Annual Budget shall be resolved (if at all) between Tenant and Manager directly and no such dispute shall subject to Expert Resolution through the procedures described in Article XVIII unless Tenant and Manager (each acting in its sole discretion) agree in writing at the time any such dispute arises to mutually submit the subject dispute to Expert Resolution under Article XVIII.

5.1.4 Operation in Accordance with Annual Budget. Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Managed Facility in accordance with the Annual Budget for the applicable Operating Year (subject, in the case of disputed items, to the provisions of Section 5.1.3). Nevertheless, Tenant and Manager acknowledge that preparation of the Annual Budgets is inherently inexact and that Manager may vary from any Annual Budget (a) to the extent Manager reasonably determines that such variance is required by any Leasehold Financing Document and/or the Lease, (b) in connection with the matters set forth in Section 5.1.5, or (c) by reallocating up to ten percent (10%) of any line item in such Annual Budget to any other line item without Tenant’s prior approval. Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, Manager shall not incur costs or expenses or make expenditures that would cause the total expenditures for the Operation of the Managed Facility to exceed the aggregate amount of expenditures provided in the Annual Budget by more than five percent (5%) without Tenant’s prior approval. Tenant acknowledges that the actual financial performance of the Managed Facility during any Operating Year will likely vary from the projections contained in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, and Manager shall not be deemed to have made any guarantee, warranty or representation whatsoever in connection with the Annual Budget or consistency of actual results with the operating plan.

5.1.5 Exceptions to Annual Budget. Notwithstanding Section 5.1.4, Tenant acknowledges and agrees as follows:

5.1.5.1 The amount of certain expenses provided for in the Annual Budget for any Operating Year will vary based on the occupancy, use and demand for goods and services provided at the Managed Facility and, accordingly, to the extent that occupancy, use and demand for such goods and services for any Operating Year exceeds the occupancy, use and demand projected in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, such Annual Budget shall be deemed to include corresponding increases in such variable expenses; provided that the percentage increase in the variable expense over budget shall not exceed the percentage increase in corresponding revenue over projections. To the extent that occupancy, use and demand for goods and services provided at the Managed Facility for any Operating Year is less than the occupancy, use and demand projected in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, Manager will make commercially reasonable adjustments to the Operation of the Managed Facility in an effort to reduce such variable expenses;

5.1.5.2 The amount of certain expenses provided for in the Annual Budget for any Operating Year are not within the ability of Manager to control, including real estate and personal property taxes, applicable Gaming taxes, insurance premiums, utility rates, license and permit fees and certain charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement, and accordingly, Manager shall have the right to pay from the Operating Account the actual amount of such uncontrollable expenses without reference to the amounts provided for with respect thereto in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year (provided that Manager shall promptly provide Tenant with a reasonably detailed written explanation of all variances in excess of five percent (5%) between the budgeted and actual amounts of any such uncontrollable expenses);

5.1.5.3 If any expenditures are required on an emergency basis to (a) preserve or repair the Managed Facility or other property or (b) avoid potential injury to persons or material damage to the Managed Facility or other property, Manager shall have the right to make such expenditures, whether or not provided for, or within the amounts provided for, in the Annual Budget for the Operating Year in question, to the extent reasonably required to avoid or mitigate such injury or material damage; and

5.1.5.4 If any expenditures are required to comply with, or cure or prevent any violation of, any Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease, Manager shall, following written notice to Tenant (except in the case of emergency, in which case the provisions of Section 5.1.5.3 shall govern) have the right to make such expenditures, whether or not provided for or within the amounts provided for in the Annual Budget for the Operating Year in question, as may be necessary to comply with, or cure or prevent the violation of, such Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease.

5.1.6 Modification to Annual Budget. Manager shall have the right from time to time during each Operating Year to propose modifications to the Annual Budget then in effect based on actual operations during the elapsed portion of the applicable Operating Year and Manager’s reasonable business judgment as to what will transpire during the remainder of such Operating Year. Modifications to such Annual Budget, if any, shall be subject to Tenant’s prior written approval; provided that in no event shall Tenant have the right to withhold its approval to any material modifications on account of changes to costs of insurance premiums, operating supplies and equipment, charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement or other amounts that are not within Manager’s or its Affiliates’ ability to control (e.g., taxes, assessments, utilities, license or permit fees, inspection fees and any impositions imposed by any Governmental Authority).

5.1.7 Compliance with Lease. Without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties agree that (i) nothing in this Section 5.1 is intended, nor shall it be construed, to limit, vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease and (ii) subject to the foregoing clause (i) and compliance with any requirements of the Lease, so long as Tenant is a Controlled Subsidiary of CEC and Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of CEC, Tenant and Manager may modify the requirements of this Section 5.1 with respect to the subject matter thereof from time to time in their discretion; provided that any such modifications shall be of no force or effect unless they (x) are Non-Discriminatory and (y) do not conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Lease/MLSA Related Agreement; and provided, further, that if any such modification would have a material adverse effect on any Party, then such modification shall require the prior written consent of such Party in its sole discretion.

5.2 Maintenance and Repair; Capital Improvements.

5.2.1 Required Maintenance and Repair and Capital Improvements. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.2, Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall perform or cause to be performed all ordinary maintenance and repairs and all such Routine Capital Improvements and Building Capital Improvements: (a) as are necessary or advisable to keep the Managed Facility in good working order and condition and in compliance with the Operating Standard (subject to the Annual Budget and Section 5.1.4) and Operating Limitations; and (b) without limiting the preceding clause (a), as Manager reasonably determines are necessary or advisable to comply with, and cure or prevent the violation of, any Applicable Laws or the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease. Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall perform or cause to be performed all such Routine Capital Improvements and Building Capital Improvements as are provided in the Annual Budget or otherwise approved in writing by Tenant.

5.2.2 Discretionary Capital Improvements. Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall cause to be performed all ROI Capital Improvements approved by Tenant (in the Annual Budget or otherwise in writing in advance), and shall supervise such work and ensure that the performance of such work is undertaken in a manner reasonably calculated to avoid or minimize interference with the Operation of the Managed Facility. Except as provided in the applicable Annual Budget or proposed by Manager and approved by Tenant, Tenant shall notify Manager of any ROI Capital Improvements proposed to be undertaken by Tenant and Manager may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, object to the undertaking of such ROI Capital Improvements based on Manager’s reasonable determination that such ROI Capital Improvements will not be consistent with the Operating Standard (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that such ROI Capital Improvements would constitute a breach of the terms of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility, including that such ROI Capital Improvements would unreasonably interfere with the Managed Facility’s operating performance and the ability of Manager to Operate the Managed Facility in accordance with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease). Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any notice from Manager alleging an objection with respect to any ROI Capital Improvement proposed by Tenant, Tenant shall respond in detail to such allegation and, if the matter is not resolved by Tenant and Manager within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s response, the determination of whether such capital improvement does not, or when constructed will not, be consistent with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility shall be submitted to the Expert for Expert Resolution in accordance with Article XVIII. If the Expert determines that such capital improvement does not, or when constructed will not, comply with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility, Tenant shall promptly take such actions as the Expert shall require to bring such capital improvement into compliance with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or to cause such capital improvement

to not unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties acknowledge that any determination made by an Expert under this Agreement shall be subject to Section 18.2.3 and, without limitation, to the extent Landlord believes any non-compliance with the Lease exists, the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease shall govern with respect thereto.

5.2.3 Remediation of Design or Construction Defect. If the design or construction of the Managed Facility is defective, and the defective condition presents a risk of injury to persons or damage to the Managed Facility or other property, or results in non-compliance with Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease, then Manager shall have the authority (subject to the terms of the Lease) to, at Tenant’s expense, perform all work necessary to remedy such design or construction defect in the Managed Facility. Tenant acknowledges that such work shall be performed at Tenant’s expense and that Manager shall not use funds in the Operating Account in remedying such defects.

5.2.4 Compliance with Lease. Without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties agree that nothing in this Section 5.2 is intended, nor shall it be construed, to grant to Manager more authority over maintenance, repair and improvements of the Leased Property or any portion thereof than Tenant has under the Lease, or to require Manager to take actions in respect of the Leased Property or any portion thereof beyond Tenant’s authority with respect thereto, it being understood that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be construed to, limit, vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease.

5.3 Personnel.

5.3.1 Manager Control. Manager shall manage and have sole and exclusive control of all aspects of the Managed Facility’s human resources functions as set forth in this Section 5.3.

5.3.2 Employment of Managed Facility Personnel. All Managed Facility Personnel shall be employees of Tenant or a subsidiary of Tenant, and Tenant shall bear all Managed Facility Personnel Costs. Managed Facility Personnel Costs shall be Operating Expenses. Tenant shall have no right to supervise, discharge or direct any Managed Facility Personnel, except as otherwise set forth herein, and covenants and agrees not to attempt to so supervise, direct or discharge.

5.3.3 Senior Executive Personnel. Subject to Tenant’s approval rights in Section 2.2.7, Manager shall, on Tenant’s behalf, recruit, screen, appoint, hire, pay (from the Operating Account), train, supervise, instruct and direct the Senior Executive Personnel, and they, or other Managed Facility Personnel to whom they may delegate such authority, shall, on Tenant’s behalf: (a) recruit, screen, appoint, hire, train, supervise, instruct and direct all other Managed Facility Personnel necessary or advisable for the Operation of the Managed Facility; and (b) discipline, transfer, relocate, replace, terminate and discharge any Managed Facility Personnel.

5.3.4 Terms of Employment. Subject to Tenant’s approval rights under Section 2.2.7, all terms and conditions of employment, personnel policies and practices relating to the Managed Facility Personnel shall be established, maintained and implemented by Manager in compliance with all Applicable Laws, on Tenant’s behalf, including, but not limited to, Applicable Laws relating to the terms and conditions of employment, recruiting, screening, appointment, hiring, compensation, bonuses, severance, pension plans and other employee benefits, training, supervision, instruction, direction, discipline, transfer, relocation, replacement, termination and discharge of Managed Facility Personnel. Manager shall process the payroll and benefits for Managed Facility Personnel.

5.3.5 Corporate Personnel. All Corporate Personnel who travel to the Managed Facility to perform technical assistance, participate in special projects or provide other services shall be permitted to reasonably utilize the services provided at the Managed Facility (including food and beverage consumption), without charge to Manager or such Corporate Personnel, in accordance with the Manager’s System Policies.

5.4 Bank Accounts.

5.4.1 Administration of Bank Accounts. Manager shall establish and administer the bank accounts listed in this Section 5.4 (the “Bank Accounts”) on Tenant’s behalf at a bank or banks selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Manager. All Bank Accounts shall (a) be established by Manager (or a designee of Manager), as agent for Tenant, in the name of CEOC (or a subsidiary of CEOC), (b) be owned by CEOC (or such subsidiary of CEOC) and (c) use the taxpayer identification number of CEOC (or such subsidiary of CEOC). The Bank Accounts shall be interest-bearing accounts if such accounts are reasonably available. The Bank Accounts may include:

5.4.1.1 one or more accounts for the purposes of depositing all funds received in the Operation of the Managed Facility and paying all Operating Expenses (collectively, the “Operating Account”);

5.4.1.2 one or more accounts into which amounts sufficient to cover all Managed Facility Personnel Costs shall be deposited from time to time by Manager (by transfer of funds from the Operating Account);

5.4.1.3 a separate account for the purpose of depositing funds sufficient to pay all amounts due to Manager under this Agreement (by transfer of funds from the Operating Account) (the “Management Account”); and

5.4.1.4 such other accounts as Manager with Tenant’s prior approval (or Tenant with Manager’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld)) deems necessary or desirable.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Operating Account may hold other funds, including CEOC funds attributable to the Managed Facility, Other Managed Facilities and Other Managed Resorts; provided that Manager shall promptly reimburse Tenant for any direct loss to Tenant resulting from Manager’s commingling of Tenant’s funds in the Operating Account with funds of any Person that is not a Tenant or any use of Tenant’s funds in the Operating Account in violation of this Agreement resulting from such comingling, other than at the direction or with the consent of Tenant.

All funds in the Bank Accounts shall be held in express trust for the benefit of CEOC and its subsidiaries and the funds belonging to Tenant or generated by the Managed Facility and held by Tenant or CEOC shall be disbursed on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and Manager shall not commingle the funds associated with the Managed Facility with those of any other Person or property (other than CEOC and subsidiaries of CEOC and their respective property). All funds of Tenant generated with respect to the Managed Facility shall be held, at all times, in the Bank Accounts until such funds are paid in accordance with this Agreement and Manager shall not hold any such funds in any other manner.

5.4.2 Authorized Signatories; Bank Account Information.

5.4.2.1 Manager’s designees may be authorized to draw funds from the Bank Accounts and make deposits into the Bank Accounts during the Term; provided, however, that if any Manager Event of Default has occurred, or if Manager is in breach of Section 5.4.4, (i) Tenant shall be authorized to draw, disburse and retain funds as Manager would be so entitled under Section 5.4.4 (and such funds may only be used in accordance with Section 5.4.4) and (ii) if any Manager Event of Default has occurred, Manager shall cease having any further rights to draw on such Bank Accounts and a signature (electronic or otherwise) from Tenant shall be required for Manager to draw funds from the Bank Accounts. Manager shall establish reasonable controls to ensure accurate reporting of all transactions involving the Bank Accounts and as Manager, consistent with commercially reasonable business procedures and practices which are consistent with the size and nature of the operations at the Managed Facility, reasonably deems necessary or advisable. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall have the right to open, own and operate any other bank accounts (excluding the Bank Accounts) and with respect to such other bank accounts, Tenant shall have full authority to deposit, draw, disburse and retain funds and otherwise operate such bank accounts in its discretion without regard to this Section 5.4.

5.4.2.2 Manager shall (a) provide Tenant copies of bank statements with respect to the Bank Accounts, and (b) provide Tenant (1) weekly cash balance summaries with respect to each Bank Account and (2) such other information regarding the Bank Accounts as reasonably requested by Tenant from time to time.

5.4.3 Permitted Investments; Liability for Loss in Bank Accounts. Manager shall not invest funds belonging to Tenant or generated by the Managed Facility and held by Tenant or CEOC in the Bank Accounts, except as may be permitted under the Leasehold Financing Documents and as approved by Tenant. Tenant shall bear all losses suffered in any investment of funds into any such Bank Account, and Manager shall have no liability or responsibility for such losses, except to the extent due to a Manager Event of Default.

5.4.4 Disbursement of Funds to Tenant. All revenues from the operation of the Managed Facility shall be deposited promptly by Manager in the Operating Account. Manager may, from time to time, draw or transfer funds from the Operating Account to pay Operating Expenses that are then due and payable or to reimburse CEC or any of its subsidiaries for Operating Expenses that have been paid by them. On or about the twenty fifth (25^th) day of each calendar month (unless Tenant and Manager agree on different timing for such monthly disbursements), Manager shall disburse to Tenant, or as directed by Tenant, any funds belonging to Tenant or generated by the Managed Facility and held by Tenant or CEOC remaining in the Operating Account at the end of the immediately preceding month after payment, contribution or retention, as applicable, of the following, without duplication: (a) all amounts due and payable under the Lease as of the date of disbursement; (b) all Operating Expenses then due but which have not yet been paid as of the date of disbursement; (c) the amount of debt service accruals and payments due to Leasehold Lenders as of the date of disbursement (as provided in the most recently updated Monthly Debt Service Schedule); and (d) retention by Manager of an amount sufficient to cover (i) a reasonable reserve (as approved by Tenant in the Annual Budget or otherwise in writing in advance), (ii) any other amounts necessary to cure or prevent any violation of any Applicable Law or the Lease in accordance with this Agreement, and (iii) such other amounts as may be agreed to by Manager and Tenant from time to time. In the event Tenant disputes any decision by Manager to reserve and not disburse to Tenant funds pursuant to this Section 5.4.4, such dispute may be submitted by either Tenant or Manager for Expert Resolution in accordance with Article XVIII. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.4.4 or in any other part of this Agreement to the contrary and, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall be construed as subordinating or deferring any obligations of Tenant under the Lease to any Operating Expenses or any other claims.

5.4.5 Transfers Between Bank Accounts. Manager has the authority to transfer funds from and between the Bank Accounts in order to pay (or reimburse CEC or its subsidiaries for) Operating Expenses, to pay debt service with respect to the Managed Facility, to invest funds for the benefit of the Managed Facility (to the extent permitted under this Agreement), to pay the rent and other amounts required under the Lease and for any other purpose consistent with the Annual Budget and good business practices; provided that, if any of the circumstances contemplated by the proviso in the first sentence of Section 5.4.2 has occurred and is continuing, Manager shall not transfer funds allocable to the Managed Facility from the Management Account without the co-signature (electronic or otherwise) of a representative of Tenant (and Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such co-signature).

5.4.6 Monthly Debt Service Schedule. Whenever Tenant incurs indebtedness with respect to the Managed Facility, Tenant shall provide Manager with a schedule of all principal and interest payments due with respect thereto and the method for calculating interest with respect to such indebtedness (as the same may be updated, the “Monthly Debt Service Schedule”).

5.5 Funds for Operation of the Managed Facility.

5.5.1 Initial Working Capital. As of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall ensure that the available funds in the Operating Account (which may be attributable to the Managed Facility, Other Managed Facilities and/or other resorts that are owned by CEOC or its subsidiaries) include at least Two Hundred Ninety-One Million, Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($291,525,000) of cash.

5.5.2 Additional Funds. If Manager reasonably determines at any time during the Term that: (a) the available funds belonging to Tenant or generated by the Managed Facility and held by Tenant or CEOC in the Operating Account are insufficient to allow for the uninterrupted and efficient Operation of the Managed Facility in accordance with this Agreement (including the Operating Standard) and the Lease, subject to the Operating Limitations, based on a ninety (90) day forward looking reference period as of such time; (b) the available funds belonging to Tenant or generated by the Managed Facility and held by Tenant or CEOC in the Operating Account are insufficient for the timely payment of amounts in any given month to be paid under Section 5.4.4; or (c) the available funds belonging to Tenant or generated by the Managed Facility and held by Tenant or CEOC in the Operating Account are insufficient for (i) Building Capital Improvements then contemplated in the Annual Budget or the Lease or otherwise approved by Tenant or (ii) ROI Capital Improvements then contemplated in the Annual Budget or the Lease or otherwise approved by Tenant, Manager shall notify Tenant of the existence and amount of the shortfall (a “Funds Request”) and shall provide a reasonably detailed explanation (including any relevant documentation related thereto) of the cause of such shortfall. Tenant shall be obligated to deposit into the Operating Account the amount requested by Manager in the Funds Request within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Funds Request.

5.5.3 Failure to Provide Funds. If Tenant fails to deposit all or any portion of any amount requested in a Funds Request, Manager shall have the right (but not the obligation) to use or pledge Manager’s credit in paying, on Tenant’s behalf, (a) ordinary and customary Operating Expenses to the extent incurred in accordance with this Agreement, (b) Building Capital Improvements and Routine Capital Improvements to the extent incurred in accordance with this Agreement and the Lease and (c) ROI Capital Improvements then contemplated in the Annual Budget or the Lease or otherwise approved by Tenant, in which case Tenant shall pay for such goods or services when such payment is due. In addition, if Tenant fails to pay for such goods or services when such payment is due, then Manager shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay for such goods or services, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Manager immediately upon demand by Manager (and Manager shall be entitled to reimburse itself from any available funds from the Operation of the Managed Facility, including the Operating Account) for all such amounts advanced by Manager, together with interest thereon in accordance with Section 3.4. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Manager nor Tenant shall have the right or power to pledge Landlord’s credit or property under any circumstances.

5.6 Purchasing. Manager and its Affiliates shall make or cause to be made available to the Managed Facility, on a Non-Discriminatory basis, licensing or purchasing programs available to each of the Other Managed Facilities and each of the Other Managed Resorts (whether on a national, regional, mandatory, optional or other basis) (each, a “Purchasing Program”). Manager may elect, in its discretion, but subject to the terms of this Section 5.6, the Lease, Applicable Law and the Annual Budget, to license any games or purchase or lease any FF&E and Supplies for the Operation of the Managed Facility from a Purchasing Program maintained by or for the benefit of Manager and/or its Affiliates; provided that (i) Manager shall ensure the prices and terms of the games, FF&E and Supplies to be licensed or purchased for the benefit of the Managed Facility under such Purchasing Program (including with such modifications as provided below) are reasonably comparable to the prices and terms which would be charged by reputable and qualified unrelated third parties on an arm’s length basis for similar games, FF&E and Supplies sold, leased or licensed to similar companies in the Gaming and hospitality industry, and may be grouped in reasonable categories rather than being compared item by item, and (ii) if multiple Purchasing Programs are available, Manager shall elect the applicable Purchasing Program it utilizes on a Non-Discriminatory basis. Manager and its Affiliates shall pass through any discounts, rebates or similar incentives received in connection with a Purchasing Program to the Managed Facility on a Non-Discriminatory basis. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Manager and its Affiliates shall have the right; provided that the same is implemented on a Non-Discriminatory basis, to (a) modify the fees, costs or terms of any such Purchasing Program, including adding games, FF&E and Supplies to, and, subject to Applicable Law, deleting games, FF&E and Supplies from, such Purchasing Program; (b) terminate all or any portion of any such Purchasing Program, from time to time, upon sixty (60) days’ notice to Tenant; (c) subject to the obligation to pass through any such amounts as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, receive commercially reasonable payments, fees, commissions or reimbursements from suppliers and third parties in respect of such purchases, leases or licenses; and (d) own or have investments in such suppliers.

5.7 Managed Facility Parking. Subject to the terms of the Lease, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be available as part of the Managed Facility (whether by expanding the Leased Property under the Lease (with Landlord’s approval to the extent required under the Lease), or otherwise obtaining use of other areas) parking sufficient for the Operation of the Managed Facility (it being acknowledged and agreed by Manager and Tenant that, as of the Commencement Date, the parking facilities available to the Managed Facility are sufficient for the Operation of the Managed Facility). If parking for the Managed Facility is not Operated as a part of the Managed Facility, Manager shall have the right to approve the arrangements for such operation, including the identity of any third-party parking manager.

5.8 Use of Affiliates by Manager. In performing its obligations under this Agreement, Manager from time to time may use the services of one (1) or more of its Affiliates as permitted under this Agreement, so long as neither Tenant nor Landlord is prejudiced thereby. If an Affiliate of Manager performs services Manager is required to provide under this Agreement, such Affiliate and its employees must hold such licenses or qualifications as may be required by the Gaming Authorities in connection with the performance of such services, and Manager shall be ultimately responsible hereunder for

its Affiliate’s performance. Tenant shall bear no cost or expense for the Affiliate’s services, other than as expressly set forth in Section 4.1.1 for Centralized Services Charges, Section 3.2 for Reimbursable Expenses, Section 5.6 for participation in Purchasing Programs, Section 5.11 for an Amenities Manager and Section 12.1.1 for the Insurance Program. Subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations in favor of third parties (for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of Manager’s Affiliates) and provided that the same are applied in a Non-Discriminatory manner to all Persons with whom Manager transacts similar business, Manager shall make available to Tenant such information as reasonably requested by Tenant to compare the cost or expense charged by the Affiliate with charges of an unaffiliated third party.

5.9 Limitation on Manager’s Obligations.

5.9.1 General Limitations. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses of Operating the Managed Facility shall be payable out of funds from the Operation of the Managed Facility, or which are otherwise provided by Tenant (or otherwise borne by Services Co in accordance with the Services Co LLC Agreement and the Omnibus Agreement). In no event shall Manager be obligated to pledge or use its own credit or advance any of its own funds to pay any such costs or expenses for the Managed Facility. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Manager shall be relieved from its obligations to Operate the Managed Facility in compliance with the Operating Standard and in accordance with this Agreement whenever and to the extent that Manager is prevented or restricted in any way from doing so by reason of: (a) the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event; (b) the Operating Limitations; (c) Tenant’s breach of any material term of this Agreement at a time (x) following (i) the occurrence of a Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Assumption or (ii) the execution of a New Lease pursuant to Section 17.1(f) of the Lease and (y) when Tenant and Manager are not each an Affiliate of Lease Guarantor (a period when the circumstances described in the preceding clause (x) and clause (y) both exist is referred to herein as a “Section 5.9.1(c) Period”); (d) any limitation or restriction expressly set forth in this Agreement on Manager’s authority or ability to expend funds in respect of the Managed Facility; or (e) the lack of availability of sufficient funds generated by the Managed Facility to Operate the Managed Facility during a Section 5.9.1(c) Period, except to the extent caused by a Manager Event of Default (disregarding any applicable notice and/or cure periods for such purpose); provided that nothing in this Section 5.9.1 shall be deemed to relieve Manager of its obligation hereunder to Operate the Managed Facility in a Non-Discriminatory manner regardless of the availability to Manager of sufficient funds to Operate the Managed Facility (it being understood, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that Manager shall not be required to expend its own funds to Operate the Managed Facility).

5.9.2 Pre-Existing Conditions and External Events. If any environmental, construction, personnel, real property-related or other problems arise at the Managed Facility during the Term that: (a) relate to the Operation or condition of the Managed Facility, or activities undertaken at the Managed Facility or on the Leased Property, prior to the Term; (b) are caused by or arise from the actions of Landlord, Landlord’s Affiliates, Tenant or Tenant’s subsidiaries, or (c) are caused by or arise from

sources not within the control of Manager and/or its Affiliates (including a Force Majeure Event), Manager’s services under this Agreement shall not extend to management of any remediation, abatement or other correction of such problems, and Tenant (or Landlord, as applicable, if and to the extent so required pursuant to the Lease) shall retain full managerial and financial responsibility and liability for and control over the remediation, abatement and correction of such problems (in each case, in accordance with the Lease and all Applicable Law), and shall take such actions in a timely manner with as little disturbance or interruption of the use and Operation of the Managed Facility as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such problems exist: (i) Manager will cooperate reasonably with Landlord and/or Tenant, as applicable, in connection with such remediation, abatement and correction efforts; and (ii) if there is a reasonable likelihood that such problems would cause criminal or civil liability to Manager, Tenant, or Landlord, injury to persons using the Managed Facility or damage to the Managed Facility, Tenant shall promptly remedy such problems and if Tenant fails to do so, Manager shall have the right to take all reasonably necessary steps to comply with any Applicable Law and/or the terms of the Lease, or to avoid criminal or civil liability to Manager, Tenant, or Landlord, or injury to Persons or property; provided that Manager shall give Landlord and Tenant reasonable prior written notice thereof.

5.10 Third-Party Operated Areas. Manager shall, in Consultation with Tenant, identify particular portions of the Managed Facility, such as restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, spas, retail locations or such portion of the Managed Facility identified and agreed between Tenant and Manager (“Third-Party Operated Areas”), that shall be operated by third parties (the “Third-Party Managers”) under a sublease, operating agreement, franchise agreement or similar agreement arranged by Manager and in the name of Tenant. Manager shall have the right, in Consultation with Tenant, to manage the process of selecting any Third-Party Managers. Any sublease, operating agreement, franchise agreement or similar agreement entered into with a Third-Party Manager shall (i) (a) be consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including that the same shall be Non-Discriminatory to the Managed Facility) and be subject to and entered into in compliance with all applicable provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease; (b) require the Third-Party Managers to operate the Third-Party Operated Areas in accordance with the Lease, the Operating Standard and all other provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement, subject to the Operating Limitations, and (c) require the Third-Party Managers and their employees and contractors, as applicable, to hold such license or qualification as may be required by the Gaming Authorities or Applicable Law and (ii) shall otherwise be subject to Tenant’s prior review and approval.

5.11 Amenities. Manager shall have the right to propose to have an Affiliate of Manager (the “Amenities Manager”) operate one or more of the Third-Party Operated Areas. The arrangement with any Amenities Manager for the operation of any restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, spas, retail locations or other amenity as a part of the Managed Facility shall be documented pursuant to a sublease or management agreement prepared by Manager and approved by Tenant which shall provide that the restaurant, bars, entertainment venue, spa, retail location or other amenity, as applicable, shall be (a) designed and constructed in all material respects in accordance with the Operating Standard, Design Guidance and any other standards reasonably required by

Tenant and the Amenities Manager, and (b) operated in accordance with the Operating Standard and all other terms of this Agreement (including that the same shall be Non-Discriminatory to the Managed Facility), in each case subject to the Operating Limitations, and in accordance with, and subject to, Applicable Law.

Without limitation of the preceding portion of this Section 12.1.6, Section 2.5 or Section 18.2.3 in any manner, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that any determination made by an Expert with respect to any dispute under Section 12.1.5 shall not modify the Lease Insurance Requirements and without limitation, to the extent Landlord believes any noncompliance with the Lease exists, the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease shall govern with respect thereto.

12.2 Waiver of Liability. SOLELY AS BETWEEN TENANT AND MANAGER, AS LONG AS A PARTY AND ANY AFFILIATES REQUESTED BY SUCH PARTY ARE A NAMED INSURED OR ADDITIONAL INSURED UNDER THE OTHER PARTY’S INSURANCE POLICIES, OR THE POLICIES OTHERWISE PERMIT IF SUCH PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES ARE NOT SO NAMED, SUCH PARTY HEREBY RELEASES THE OTHER PARTY, AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR TRUSTEES, BENEFICIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, AND THE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING, FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR MONETARY

FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRECEDING PORTION OF THIS SECTION 12.2 SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO VITIATE OR SUPERSEDE ANY OBLIGATIONS OF (x) LEASE GUARANTOR IN RESPECT OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS OR OTHERWISE HEREUNDER AND/OR (y) TENANT UNDER THE LEASE, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF AND THEREOF.

12.3 Indemnification.

12.3.1 Indemnification by Tenant. Subject to Sections 12.3.3, 12.3.4 and 18.5.5, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Manager and its Affiliates, and each of their respective shareholders, members, partners, trustees, beneficiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents, and the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Manager Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any and all Claims, other than Claims that are within the scope of Manager’s indemnification pursuant to Section 12.3.2. Nothing in this Section 12.3 shall be deemed to limit Tenant’s right to pursue its contractual damage remedies against Manager with respect to amounts paid by Tenant to one (1) or more other Persons in connection with any Claim caused by an Event of Default by Manager (it being further understood that the provisions of this Section 12.3 shall not be deemed to modify the provisions of Section 16.1 regarding the establishment of an Event of Default by Manager, including any provisions of Section 16.1 regarding notice of cure of any default that would, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, become an Event of Default). Manager shall promptly provide Tenant with written notice of any Claim that is reasonably likely to result in any indemnification by Tenant.

12.3.2 Indemnification by Manager. Subject to Sections 12.3.3, 12.3.4 and 18.5.5, Manager shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and its Affiliates, and each of their respective shareholders, members, partners, trustees, beneficiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents, and the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Tenant Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any and all (a) Claims that any Tenant Indemnified Party or Parties may incur, become responsible for or pay out to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Manager and (b) any uninsured loss incurred by Tenant due to the commission by any Senior Executive Personnel or Corporate Personnel of any act of fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation or similar act of malfeasance with respect to the Managed Facility.

12.3.3 Insurance Coverage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.3, Tenant and Manager shall look first to the appropriate insurance coverages in effect pursuant to this Agreement prior to seeking indemnification under this Section 12.3 in the event any claim or liability occurs as a result of injury to persons or damage to property, regardless of the cause of such claim or liability; provided that if the insurance carrier denies coverage or “reserves rights” as to coverage, then the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to seek indemnification, without first looking to such insurance coverage. In addition, nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall in any way affect the releases set forth in Section 12.2.

12.3.4 Indemnification Procedures. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Claim with respect to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, (a) such defense shall be conducted by counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and approved by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that the Indemnified Party’s approval shall not be required with respect to counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party’s insurer); (b) so long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting such defense with reasonable diligence, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control said defense and shall not be required to pay the fees or disbursements of any counsel engaged by the Indemnified Party except if a material conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Claim or defense; and (c) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, to settle such Claim, but only if such settlement involves only the payment of money, the Indemnifying Party pays all amounts due in connection with or by reason of such settlement and, as part thereof, the Indemnified Party is unconditionally released from all liability in respect of such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Claim being defended by the Indemnifying Party at the expense of the Indemnified Party, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control such defense (other than in the event of a material conflict of interest between the parties with respect to such Claim or defense). In no event shall the Indemnified Party (A) settle any Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party so long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense thereof in accordance with this Agreement or (B) if a Claim is covered by the Indemnifying Party’s insurance, knowingly take or omit to take any action that would cause the insurer not to defend such Claim or to disclaim liability in respect thereof.

12.3.5 Survival. This Section 12.3 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII

LEASEHOLD FINANCING

13.1 Leasehold Mortgages; Collateral Assignments; Non-Disturbance; Leasehold Foreclosure. The Parties agree that:

13.1.1 Leasehold Financing. Subject to Article XI hereof and the applicable provisions of the Lease, including Article XVII and Article XXII of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to grant, in respect of Tenant’s leasehold estate under the Lease, other property of Tenant and/or any direct or indirect Ownership Interests in

Tenant, a Leasehold Mortgage or Security Interest to a Leasehold Lender in connection with any Leasehold Financing, and to assign to any Leasehold Lender as collateral security for any Leasehold Financing, all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to this Agreement. Promptly following execution of any such Leasehold Financing Documents, Tenant shall provide Manager and Lease Guarantor a true and complete copy of all such Leasehold Financing Documents.

13.1.2 Foreclosure by Leasehold Lender. If any Leasehold Financing is secured by a valid and enforceable lien on the leasehold estate under the Lease or on the direct or indirect Ownership Interests in Tenant, whether by mortgage, equity pledge or otherwise, and there is any proposed Foreclosure by Leasehold Lender thereunder, such Leasehold Lender shall, in connection with and as a condition precedent to consummating any Foreclosure by Leasehold Lender, irrevocably elect, by written notice to Tenant and Lease Guarantor (with a copy to Landlord and Manager), one (and only one) of the following:

(a) Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Termination Election: to terminate this Agreement and, in connection with such termination, to comply in all respects with all applicable provisions of the Lease, including Section 22.2(i)(1)(A) and Section 22.2(i)(2) through (5) thereof, and, without limitation, to cause (x) a replacement lease guarantor that is a Qualified Replacement Guarantor (as defined in the Lease) to provide a Replacement Guaranty (as defined in the Lease) of the Lease and (y) the Managed Facility to be managed pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement (as defined in the Lease) by a Qualified Replacement Manager (as defined in the Lease) or another manager that is otherwise permitted by Section 22.2(i)(1)(A)(z) of the Lease, in each case in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(A) of the Lease (and the obligations and liabilities of Lease Guarantor in respect of the Lease Guaranty shall be determined as set forth in Section 17.3.5.2); or

(b) Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Assumption Election: to retain Manager (or any replacement manager appointed in accordance with Section 16.5.2 following a Termination for Cause in accordance with this Agreement) as manager of the Managed Facility pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (or a replacement management agreement previously approved in writing by Landlord) and, in connection therewith, to comply in all respects with all applicable provisions of the Lease, including Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) and Section 22.2(i)(2) through (5) of the Lease, and, without limitation, to keep this Agreement (or such replacement management agreement previously approved in writing by Landlord) in full force and effect in accordance with its terms (and the Lease will continue to be guaranteed by Lease Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 17.3.1.8, Section 17.3.1.9 and Section 17.3.1.10 hereof) and all of Lease Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under this Agreement in respect of the Lease Guaranty shall continue unabated and in full force and effect).

With respect to any Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Termination, (i) the effective date of such termination of this Agreement shall be the date upon which the applicable Lease Foreclosure Transaction shall have been effective in accordance with Section 22.2(i) of the Lease (and, without limitation, all applicable provisions of the Lease shall have been complied with in all respects, including Section 22.2(i)(1)(A) and Section 22.2(i)(2) through (5) of the Lease, including execution and delivery of a Replacement Guaranty by a Qualified Replacement Guarantor), and (ii) this Agreement shall be deemed terminated pursuant to Section 16.2.6 of this Agreement as of such effective date and, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Article XVI, including Section 16.3, shall apply with respect to such termination from and after such effective date.

Without limitation of the foregoing and, for the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed that the prosecution by any Leasehold Lender of a Foreclosure by Leasehold Lender shall be subject to, and performed in (and conditioned upon), compliance with, all applicable provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease, including Article XVII thereof.

13.2 Default Notice to Leasehold Lender. Manager or Landlord, upon providing Tenant any notice of default under this Agreement, shall at the same time provide a copy of such notice to every Leasehold Lender that has been properly disclosed to Manager or Landlord, as applicable, pursuant to Section 13.1. From and after the date such notice has been sent to a Leasehold Lender, such Leasehold Lender shall have the same period, with respect to its remedying any default or acts or omissions which are the subject matter of such notice or causing the same to be remedied, as is given Tenant after the giving of such notice to Tenant, to remedy, commence remedying or cause to be remedied the defaults or acts or omissions which are the subject matter of such notice specified in any such notice. Manager or Landlord, as applicable, shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of such Leasehold Lender as if the same had been done by Tenant. Tenant authorizes each such Leasehold Lender (to the extent such action is authorized under the applicable loan documents to which it acts as a lender, noteholder, investor, agent, trustee or representative) to take any such action at such Leasehold Lender’s option and does hereby authorize entry upon the Managed Facility by Leasehold Lender for such purpose.

13.3 Lender’s Right of Access. Upon reasonable advance notice from a Leasehold Lender or Landlord’s Lender (which notice may be given orally in connection with an emergency or upon the occurrence of an event of default under any Leasehold Financing Documents or Landlord Financing Documents, as the case may be), Manager shall permit and cooperate with such Leasehold Lender or Landlord’s Lender (as applicable) and their respective agents and representatives to enter any part of the Managed Facility, except for those parts of the Managed Facility as to which access is restricted by Applicable Law, at any reasonable time for the purposes of examining or inspecting the Managed Facility, or examining or copying the books and records of the Managed Facility; provided that: (a) any expenses incurred in connection with such activities shall be Operating Expenses of the Managed Facility; and (b) Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including the inclusion of an appropriate confidentiality provision in the Leasehold Financing Documents) to cause such Leasehold Lender, and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including the inclusion of an

appropriate confidentiality provision in the Landlord Financing Documents) to cause such Landlord’s Lender, to agree to treat as confidential any information such Leasehold Lender or Landlord’s Lender, as applicable, obtains from examining the books and records of the Managed Facility provided by Tenant to Manager, including the Annual Budget. Manager acknowledges that a Leasehold Lender or Landlord’s Lender may disclose such information to the same extent and subject to the same restrictions as are applicable to Tenant with respect to Manager Confidential Information under Article VIII of this Agreement (including to any actual or potential landlords (including Landlord and actual or potential purchasers of the relevant Landlord Mortgage or any interest therein)).

13.4 Disclosure of Mortgages and Security Interests. Tenant represents and warrants to the other Parties hereto that as of the Commencement Date, (i) except for Leasehold Mortgage(s) in favor of the Leasehold Lender(s) under Tenant’s Initial Financing (as such term is defined in the Lease), there was no Leasehold Mortgage encumbering Tenant’s interest in the Managed Facility, the Leased Property or the Lease or any portion thereof or interest therein and (ii) except for Security Interests in favor of the Leasehold Lender(s) under Tenant’s Initial Financing (as such term is defined in the Lease), there was no Security Interest encumbering any direct or indirect interests in Tenant that was held by a Person that constituted a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (as defined in the Lease). Tenant shall provide to Manager a true and complete copy of any new proposed Leasehold Financing Documents for Manager’s review no less than thirty (30) days before the execution of such new Leasehold Financing Documents (or such lesser time acceptable to Manager). Promptly following execution of such new Leasehold Financing Documents, Tenant shall provide Manager a true and complete copy of all such new Leasehold Financing Documents.

13.5 Estoppel Certificates. Upon written request from Tenant, Landlord or any Leasehold Lender or Landlord’s Lender at any time during the Term, Manager shall issue, within no less than twenty (20) days after Manager’s receipt of such request, an estoppel certificate (or a comfort letter or other documents as may be reasonably requested): (a) certifying that this Agreement has not been modified and is in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, specifying the modifications and that the same is in full force and effect as modified); (b) stating whether, to the knowledge of the signatory of such certificate (which signatory shall be an appropriate officer of the issuer of such certificate, with knowledge of the subject matter), any default by the attesting Party (or, to the attesting Party’s knowledge, any other Party) exists, and if so, specifying each such default; and (c) including such other certifications or statements as may be reasonably requested by the requesting Party or lender. Upon written request from Manager, Landlord or Landlord’s Lender at any time during the Term, Tenant shall provide (and, upon request, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Leasehold Lender to provide) a similar estoppel certificate in a similar timeframe. Upon written request from Manager, Lease Guarantor, Tenant or Leasehold Lender at any time during the Term, Landlord shall provide (and, upon request, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Landlord’s Lender and/or any other ground lessor (with respect to any ground lease) to provide) a similar estoppel certificate in a similar timeframe. Upon written request from Landlord, Tenant, Leasehold Lender or Landlord’s Lender at any time during the term, Lease Guarantor shall provide a similar estoppel certificate in a similar timeframe.

13.6 Tenant’s Lease Obligations.

13.6.1 [Reserved]

13.6.2 Without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that (a) nothing in this Article XIII is intended, nor shall it be construed, to limit, vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease, and (b) without limitation of the preceding clause (a), nothing contained in this Agreement, including this Article XIII hereof, is intended, nor shall it be construed, to limit, vitiate or supersede the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease pertaining to Leasehold Financings, including Article XVII of the Lease.

ARTICLE XIV

BUSINESS INTERRUPTION

14.1 Business Interruption. At all times during the Term, Manager shall assist Tenant in procuring, at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant shall maintain Business Interruption Insurance for the Managed Facility in accordance with the Lease Insurance Requirements. If any event, including a Force Majeure Event, occurs that results in an interruption in the Operation of the Managed Facility (a “Business Interruption Event”), Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce Operating Expenses, Centralized Services Charges and Reimbursable Expenses to levels commensurate with the levels of reduced revenues and business activity. All Centralized Service Charges and Reimbursable Expenses actually incurred during the period of the Business Interruption Event shall continue to be payable in accordance with the provisions this Agreement, regardless of whether there are sufficient Business Interruption Insurance proceeds to cover such amounts.

14.2 Proceeds of Business Interruption Insurance. The net proceeds of the Business Interruption Insurance maintained in accordance with Section 14.1 (after the application of any deductible) shall be deposited in the Operating Account and used by Manager in the same manner as funds generated from the Operation of the Managed Facility are used by Manager in accordance with this Agreement, including the payment of Operating Expenses, the Centralized Services Charges and Managed Facility Personnel Costs and all other Operating Expenses as provided in Section 14.1.

ARTICLE XV

15.1.1 Notices. If the Managed Facility is damaged by a Casualty, Manager shall promptly notify Tenant.

15.1.2 Termination in Connection with a Casualty. If the Managed Facility is damaged or destroyed by a Casualty, then:

(i) if, pursuant to Section 14.2(a) of the Lease, the Lease is terminated as a result of a Casualty affecting the Managed Facility occurring during the final two (2) years of the Lease, then this Agreement shall terminate effective as of such date of termination of the Lease; and

(ii) if the business operations at the Managed Facility following a Casualty are substantially, adversely impaired as a result thereof and the Lease and this Agreement remain in effect pursuant to the terms thereof and/or hereof, as applicable, then a Force Majeure Event shall be deemed to exist as applicable in respect of Manager’s management obligations hereunder with respect to the Managed Facility while such condition exists.

(i) with respect to any portion of the Managed Facility that, pursuant to Section 15.1(b) of the Lease, ceases to be subject to the Lease as a result of a Condemnation or a Taking, Manager’s management obligations under this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such portion of the Managed Facility effective as of such date of Condemnation or Taking, but this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms (with Manager’s obligations hereunder so reduced, mutatis mutandis, to reflect the removal of such portion of the Managed Facility from the terms of the Lease);

(ii) if, pursuant to Section 15.1(a) or Section 15.1(b) of the Lease, the Lease is terminated in its entirety as a result of a Condemnation or a Taking affecting the Managed Facility in accordance with its terms, then this Agreement shall terminate effective as of such date of termination of the Lease; and

(iii) if the business operations at the Managed Facility following a Condemnation or Taking are substantially adversely impacted as a result thereof and the Lease and this Agreement remain in effect pursuant to the terms thereof and/or hereof, as applicable, then a Force Majeure Event shall be deemed to exist as applicable in respect of Manager’s management functions hereunder with respect to the Managed Facility while such condition exists.

ARTICLE XVI

DEFAULTS AND TERMINATIONS

16.1 Events of Default.

16.1.1 Tenant MLSA Events of Default. Each of the following actions and events shall be deemed a “Tenant MLSA Event of Default”:

16.1.1.1 a failure by Tenant within the time periods specified in this Agreement to pay the amount due and payable under this Agreement to Manager or its Affiliates for the Reimbursable Expenses or Centralized Services Charges and that is not cured within sixty (60) days after notice to Tenant specifying such failure; provided that in the event sufficient funds belonging to Tenant or generated by the Managed Facility and held by Tenant or CEOC are available in the Operating Account to pay such amounts then due and Manager has the right to withdraw, transfer or apply such funds to the payment of such amounts then due, then such failure of Tenant to pay such amount shall not be an Event of Default;

16.1.1.2 except as set forth in Section 16.1.1.1, a failure by Tenant to pay any amount of money to Manager when due and payable under this Agreement that is not cured within sixty (60) days after notice to Tenant;

16.1.1.3 except as set forth in Section 16.1.1.1 or Section 16.1.1.2, a failure by Tenant to perform or comply with any of the covenants, duties or obligations set forth in this Agreement to be performed by Tenant that is not cured within thirty (30) days following notice of such default from Manager to Tenant; provided that if: (a) the default is not susceptible of cure within a thirty (30) day period; (b) the default cannot be cured solely by the payment of a sum of money; and (c) the default would not expose Manager (or Landlord) to an imminent and material risk of criminal liability or of material damage to its business reputation, the thirty (30) day cure period shall be extended for such time as is necessary (but in no event longer than ninety (90) days or, if such default is in the process of being cured to the satisfaction of an applicable Gaming Authority, such longer time as is prescribed by such Gaming Authority) to cure the default so long as Tenant commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter proceeds with reasonable diligence to complete such cure;

16.1.1.4 (i) a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of its creditors, or any similar arrangement with its creditors by Tenant; (ii) the entry of a judgment of insolvency against Tenant that is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of entry thereof; (iii) the filing by Tenant of a voluntary petition for relief under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar debtor relief laws; (iv) the filing of an involuntary petition for relief under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar debtor relief laws by any Person against Tenant which either (x) is consented to by Tenant, or (y) is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof; (v) the appointment (or the filing of a petition or application for appointment) of a receiver,

custodian, trustee, conservator, or liquidator to oversee all or any substantial part of Tenant’s assets or the conduct of its business, in each case that is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of the occurrence thereof; (vi) any action by Tenant for dissolution of its operations; or (vii) any other similar proceedings in any relevant jurisdiction affecting Tenant that is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of the commencement thereof; and

16.1.1.5 the occurrence of the Tenant MLSA Event of Default described in the last sentence of this Section 16.1.1.5. If, at any time during the Term, Manager cannot Operate the Managed Facility in all material respects in accordance with the Operating Standard and Operating Limitations as provided herein, then Manager shall promptly deliver notice thereof to Landlord and Tenant (and Landlord and Tenant shall each be entitled to exercise their respective rights and remedies as and to the extent applicable thereto). If Manager determines in the exercise of its good faith judgment that the proximate cause thereof is an Operating Deficiency Cause, then (x) Manager shall promptly deliver notice thereof to Landlord, and (y) Manager or Landlord shall be entitled to provide notice of such determination to Tenant and the Leasehold Lenders (an “Operating Deficiency Notice”), which Operating Deficiency Notice shall allege with reasonable specificity the details of the non-compliance with the Operating Standard or Operating Limitations. For purposes of the preceding sentence, an “Operating Deficiency Cause” shall mean any one or more of the following: (a) any failure by Tenant to fund a Funds Request issued pursuant to Section 5.5.2; or (b) any interference by Tenant or its agents or representatives in any material respect with the Operation of the Managed Facility. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any Operating Deficiency Notice, Tenant shall respond in detail to such allegation and, if the matter is not resolved by Tenant and Manager (or Landlord, as applicable) within forty five (45) days after Tenant’s response, the matter shall be referred to the Expert for Expert Resolution in accordance with Article XVIII. If the Expert determines that the Managed Facility is not being Operated in accordance with the Operating Standard or Operating Limitations in one or more material respects as provided herein and that the proximate cause of such non-compliance is an Operating Deficiency Cause, then, unless Tenant shall within fifteen (15) days of the Expert’s determination fund the subject Funds Request or cease the actions that interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility by Manager, then a Tenant MLSA Event of Default under this Section 16.1.1.5 shall exist.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no Tenant MLSA Event of Default if the basis for any asserted Tenant MLSA Event of Default is in the process of being resolved pursuant to Sections 5.1.3 and 5.1.4 or Article XVIII. For the avoidance of doubt, the existence of any Tenant Lease Event of Default or event of default by Tenant under any Leasehold Financing shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Tenant MLSA Event of Default, unless such event, in and of itself, constitutes a Tenant MLSA Event of Default pursuant to the terms hereof.

16.1.2 Manager Events of Default . Each of the following actions and events shall be deemed a “Manager Event of Default”:

16.1.2.1 a failure by Manager to pay any amount of money to Tenant when due and payable under this Agreement that is not cured within sixty (60) days after notice to Manager;

16.1.2.3 (i) a general assignment by Manager for the benefit of its creditors, or any similar arrangement with its creditors by Manager; (ii) the entry of a judgment of insolvency against Manager that is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of entry thereof; (iii) the filing by Manager of a voluntary petition for relief under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar debtor relief laws; (iv) the filing of an involuntary petition for relief under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar debtor relief laws by any Person against Manager which either (x) is consented to by Manager, or (y) is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of the filing thereof; (v) the appointment (or the filing of a petition or application for appointment) of a receiver, custodian, trustee, conservator, or liquidator to oversee all or any substantial part of Manager’s assets or the conduct of its business, in each case that is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of the occurrence thereof; (vi) any action by Manager for dissolution of its operations; or (vii) any other similar proceedings in any relevant jurisdiction affecting Manager that is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of the commencement thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no Manager Event of Default if the basis for any asserted Manager Event of Default is in the process of being resolved pursuant to Sections 5.1.3 and 5.1.4 or Article XVIII.

16.1.3 Lease Guarantor Event of Default. Each of the following actions and events shall be deemed a “Lease Guarantor Event of Default”:

16.1.3.1 a failure by Lease Guarantor to pay any amount of money to Landlord when due and payable under the Lease Guaranty;

16.1.3.2 except as set forth in Section 16.1.3.1, a failure by Lease Guarantor to perform or comply with any of the covenants, duties or obligations set forth in this Agreement to be performed by Lease Guarantor that is not cured within ten (10) days following notice of such default from Landlord to Lease Guarantor; and

16.1.3.3 (i) a general assignment by Lease Guarantor for the benefit of its creditors, or any similar arrangement with its creditors by Lease Guarantor; (ii) the entry of a judgment of insolvency against Lease Guarantor that is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of entry thereof; (iii) the filing by Lease Guarantor of a voluntary petition for relief under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar debtor relief laws; (iv) the filing of an involuntary petition for relief under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar debtor relief laws by any Person against Lease Guarantor which either (x) is consented to by Lease Guarantor, or (y) is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of the filing thereof; (v) the appointment (or the filing of a petition or application for appointment) of a receiver, custodian, trustee, conservator, or liquidator to oversee all or any substantial part of Lease Guarantor’s assets or the conduct of its business, in each case that is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of the occurrence thereof; (vi) any action by Lease Guarantor for dissolution of its operations; or (vii) any other similar proceedings in any relevant jurisdiction affecting Lease Guarantor that is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of the commencement thereof.

16.1.4 M/T Event of Default. Each of the following actions and events shall be deemed an “M/T Event of Default”: (i) Any failure of Manager to Operate the Managed Facility in a Non-Discriminatory manner, in accordance with the Operating Standard and subject to Manager’s Standard of Care (in each case as and to the extent required under this Agreement, including as provided in Section 2.1.1, Section 2.1.2, Section 2.1.3, Section 2.1.4, Section 2.3.1, and Section 2.3.2, but subject to Section 5.9.1); (ii) any failure by Manager or Tenant, as applicable, to comply with any of the covenants, duties or obligations in this Agreement to be performed by Manager or Tenant, as applicable, that in substance is for the benefit of or in favor of Landlord; and (iii) any termination, revocation or modification of any rights or licenses granted by Tenant to Manager under Section 7.1.1 without Landlord’s prior written consent, which, in the case of any of clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) above, would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on either (x) the Managed Facility (taken as a whole with the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities) or (y) Landlord (taken as a whole with the Non-CPLV Landlord), and which failure or event is not cured within thirty (30) days following notice thereof from Landlord to Manager; provided that, if: (a) such failure or other breach is not susceptible of cure within a thirty (30) day period and (b) such failure or other breach would not expose Landlord to an imminent and material risk of criminal liability or of material damage to its business reputation, the thirty (30) day cure period shall be extended for such time as is necessary (but in no event longer than ninety (90) days) to cure such failure or other breach so long as Tenant and/or Manager, as applicable, commences to cure such failure or other breach within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter proceeds with reasonable diligence to complete such cure.

16.1.5 Remedies for Event of Default.

16.3.1 Payment of Expenses for Termination. If a Tenant MLSA Event of Default is in effect at the time of termination of this Agreement (including in the event of a Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Termination) or termination of Manager in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all commercially reasonable direct expenses arising as a result of the cessation of Managed Facility operations by Manager (including expenses arising under this Section 16.3) shall be for the sole account of Tenant (except to the extent such expenses result from a Manager Event of Default), and Tenant shall reimburse Manager within fifteen (15) days following receipt of any invoice from Manager for any such expenses, including those arising from or in connection with severing the employment of Managed Facility Personnel not engaged by Tenant in

Any disputes regarding amounts owed to Manager under this Section 16.3.2 shall be referred to the Expert for Expert Resolution pursuant to Article XVIII.

of Manager, as applicable, which are assignable without third party consent or as to which consent to assignment may be and has been obtained without out-of-pocket cost to Manager, and Tenant shall, effective as of the date of such expiration or termination of this Agreement or such termination of Manager, as applicable, assume all liabilities and obligations thereunder, and Tenant shall confirm its assumption of such liabilities and obligations in writing. To the extent any lease or contract to which Manager, Caesars IP Holder or any of their Affiliates is a party relates to the Managed Facility (excluding any Intellectual Property other than Property Specific IP or Property Specific Guest Data) but does not relate exclusively to the Managed Facility (excluding any Intellectual Property other than Property Specific IP or Property Specific Guest Data) as of the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement or termination of Manager, as applicable, Manager (or its applicable Affiliate) shall (i) arrange for assignment and transfer to Tenant of those terms of such agreement that relate solely to the Managed Facility (excluding any Intellectual Property other than Property Specific IP or Property Specific Guest Data) or (ii) enter into an agreement with Tenant that will facilitate the continuous operation of the Managed Facility (including use of the Property Specific IP and Property Specific Guest Data in connection with the Operation thereof) in substantially the same manner as operated prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement or the termination of Manager, as applicable;

In addition, if Manager or any Affiliate of Manager is the holder of any liquor license for the Managed Facility which is not assignable to Tenant or its designee upon termination of this Agreement or upon termination of Manager, as applicable, then, upon the request of Tenant, Manager (or such Affiliate) shall enter into a temporary lease, license or such other agreement as may be permitted under Applicable Law to permit the continuous and uninterrupted sale of alcoholic beverages at the Managed Facility consistent with prior operations. In such event, Manager (or its Affiliate, if applicable) shall not be entitled to compensation in connection with such arrangement, but shall not incur any cost or liability in connection therewith and shall be named as an additional insured on any “dramshop” or other liability insurance pertaining to the sale of alcoholic beverages at the Managed Facility.

In addition, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, any other permits or licenses that may not be assigned to Tenant shall be maintained by Manager for Tenant’s benefit at Tenant’s cost and expense until such time (but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the termination of this Agreement) as Tenant may secure permits and licenses in its own name, subject to Tenant’s provision of an indemnification of Manager and its Affiliates from Tenant; and

16.3.4.3 all books and records of the Managed Facility (but excluding any Manager Confidential Information); provided that Manager may retain one or more archival copies of such books and records for Manager’s independent use.

16.3.5 Bookings and Reservations.

Manager will turn over to Tenant any receivables collected directly by Manager after the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement or termination of Manager, as applicable.

16.3.7 Final Accounting. Within thirty (30) days following the expiration or termination of this Agreement or the termination of Manager, as applicable, Manager shall render a full accounting to Tenant (including all statements and reports in the forms required herein) for the final month ending on the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement or termination of Manager, as applicable. At the request of Tenant, Manager shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Tenant within ninety (90) days following the expiration or termination of this Agreement or the termination of Manager, as applicable, Certified Financial Statements for the final Operating Year, containing the reports and other items and prepared on the same basis as under Section 10.3. The cost of preparing the Certified Financial Statements pursuant to this Section 16.3.7 shall be an Operating Expense attributable to the final Operating Year. The final Certified Financial Statements delivered pursuant to this Section 16.3.7, and all information contained therein, shall be binding and conclusive on Tenant and Manager unless, within sixty (60) days following the delivery thereof, either Tenant or Manager shall deliver to the other Party written notice of its objection thereto setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such objection. If Tenant and Manager are unable thereafter to resolve any disputes between them with respect to the matters set forth in the final Certified Financial Statements within sixty (60) days after delivery by either Tenant or Manager of the aforesaid written notice, either Tenant or Manager shall have the right to cause such dispute to be resolved by Expert Resolution in accordance with the provisions of Article XVIII.

16.3.8 Managed Facility Personnel. From and after the expiration or termination of this Agreement (i) the Managed Facility Personnel and any employees of Manager shall not be restrained by this Agreement in making their own decision as to whether to be employed by Tenant, Manager or their respective Affiliates, (ii) Tenant and Manager shall waive any non-compete, non-solicitation and restrictive covenant agreements and arrangements with such Managed Facility Personnel and any employees of Manager, as applicable, and (iii) Manager and its Affiliates may employ any of the Senior Executive Personnel or any other Managed Facility Personnel who desire employment with Manager or its Affiliates and who Tenant does not employ. Manager shall make reasonably available to Tenant from time to time during the Transition Period any Managed Facility Personnel employed by Manager or its Affiliates to answer questions that Tenant may have regarding the Managed Facility.

16.3.9 Transition Period.

Without limitation of the preceding sentence, Lease Guarantor shall remain obligated in respect of any and all Guaranteed Obligations accruing during the term of any Transition Period, as and to the extent provided in Article XVII below.

The Parties agree that, except as provided in Section 16.2 and Section 16.5.2, Manager may not be terminated as Manager hereunder for any reason (including in the case of a rejection of this Agreement in any bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution proceedings) unless the termination of Manager as Manager hereunder is expressly consented to in writing by (x) Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, and (y) Lease Guarantor, in its sole and absolute discretion. If Manager is terminated for any reason other than as provided in the preceding sentence, then such termination shall be null and void and Manager will continue to manage in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if such termination is in connection with events constituting a Non-Consented Lease Termination, then such termination shall be treated as a Non-Consented Lease Termination and the provisions of Article XXI hereof shall apply.

16.5.2 Termination for Cause. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Manager may be Terminated for Cause by Landlord expressly and in writing in accordance with the definition of “Terminated for Cause”. In the event that Manager is so Terminated for Cause by Landlord, Landlord may cause Tenant to engage a replacement manager that is identified by and acceptable to Landlord, on such provisions, terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and such replacement manager, including with respect to use of real property, intellectual property rights and other assets on or in connection with the Managed Facility, in each case in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Lease Guaranty and all related provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as provided in Section 17.3.5.4 hereof; provided that, if a replacement manager is not so engaged within one (1) year from the date of Manager’s termination as set forth in the definition of “Terminated for Cause”, Lease Guarantor shall have the right to cause Tenant to engage a replacement manager that is identified by Lease Guarantor, subject to approval by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), on substantially the same terms and conditions as are specified in this Agreement (or in the case of a replacement manager that is not an Affiliate of Tenant, such other terms and conditions that are reasonably satisfactory to Lease Guarantor and Landlord). No such replacement manager identified by Landlord shall be a Tenant Prohibited Person or a Lease Guarantor Prohibited Person and no such replacement manager identified by Lease Guarantor shall be a Landlord Prohibited Person.

16.6 [Intentionally Omitted]

ARTICLE XVII

LEASE GUARANTY

17.1 Guaranteed Obligations. Subject to Section 17.2.1.2 and Section 17.2.2.2, Lease Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Landlord, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the prompt and complete payment and performance in full in cash of, without duplication, (i) all monetary obligations of Tenant under the Lease (and, without duplication, all monetary obligations of the tenant under any New Lease obtained pursuant to and in accordance with Section 17.1(f) of the Lease in connection with which the applicable Leasehold Lender has elected to retain CEC as Lease Guarantor and proceed in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) of the Lease) of any nature (including, without limitation, during any Transition Period), including, without limitation, (x) Tenant’s rent and other payment obligations of any nature under the Lease (including all Rent and Additional Charges (as each such term is defined in the Lease)), (y) Tenant’s obligation to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Lease) in accordance with the Lease and any other expenditures required of Tenant by the terms of the Lease and (z) Tenant’s obligation to pay monetary damages in connection with any breach of the Lease and to pay indemnification obligations in each case as provided under the Lease, (ii) all Guaranty Termination Obligations (without duplication of amounts otherwise already included under clause (i)) and (iii) any sums payable to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.2.4 hereof (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case including (a) amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar laws and (b) any late charges and interest provided for under the Lease (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding). Lease Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, although as a matter of process and procedure, Section 17.2 hereof sets forth a process by which Landlord may issue notice to Lease Guarantor in respect of certain Guaranteed Obligations, such process is not intended to be a predicate to the existence or accrual of Lease Guarantor’s liability for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, it being understood that all of Lease Guarantor’s obligations hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations are unconditional and irrevocable in all respects, irrespective of whether the process set forth in Section 17.2 has been commenced, completed or otherwise satisfied (but, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the occurrence of any Guaranty Release Date).

17.2 Notice and Guaranty Payment Process.

17.2.1 Guaranteed Obligations Other Than Guaranty Termination Obligations and Enforcement Costs.

17.2.1.1 Lease Guarantor shall have no obligation to make any payment in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations (other than Guaranty Termination Obligations and any sums payable to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.2.4 hereof) unless and until Lease Guarantor receives notice in respect thereof from Landlord in accordance with this Section 17.2.1.1, it being understood, however, that as provided in Section 17.1, Landlord’s failure to deliver any notice shall not prevent or otherwise affect the existence or accrual of any Guaranteed Obligations. Landlord may give Lease Guarantor written notice of any event or circumstance that, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, is or would become a Tenant Lease Event of Default concurrently with notice to Tenant thereof, or at any time thereafter, which notice to Lease Guarantor shall specify in reasonable detail such actual or alleged event or circumstance and the payment amount or other relief demanded (each such notice to Lease Guarantor, a “Lease Guaranty Claim”). Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord, in full in cash, the amount of Guaranteed Obligations that are owed as may be specified in the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim immediately upon the occurrence of all of the following: (1) the event or circumstance set forth in the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim shall be a Tenant Lease Event of Default that is continuing, (2) with respect to any failure by Tenant to satisfy a monetary obligation that, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, is or would become a Tenant Lease Event of Default (each, a “Monetary Tenant Default”), Tenant or Lease Guarantor shall have failed to satisfy or cure such failure in full on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after Lease Guarantor’s receipt of the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim, and (3) with respect to any Monetary Tenant Default, Tenant or Lease Guarantor shall have failed to satisfy or cure such failure in full on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s deadline under the Lease (giving effect to any applicable notice and cure periods available to Tenant under the Lease, unless, at the time the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim is made, another Lease Guaranty Claim has been made and remains outstanding); provided that no Lease Guaranty Claim shall be required to be delivered other than with respect to Guaranteed Obligations described in clause (i) of Section 17.1; and provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 17.2.1 are not intended to expand in any way the definition or scope of the Guaranteed Obligations.

17.2.1.2 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (1) except as provided in the succeeding clauses (2) and (3), in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations under clause (i) of Section 17.1 hereof that are owed and properly set forth in any applicable Lease Guaranty Claim, Lease Guarantor shall be required to pay eighty percent (80%), but not more than eighty percent (80%), of such Guaranteed Obligations (provided that, following payment of such eighty percent (80%) of such Guaranteed Obligations, Landlord shall not be permitted to make any Lease Guaranty Claim against Lease Guarantor with respect to the remaining twenty percent (20%) of such Guaranteed Obligations set forth in the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim); (2) for avoidance of doubt, the preceding clause (1) is not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, change, modify or reduce the “Guaranteed Obligations” (as such term is defined in the Non-CPLV MLSA) or otherwise vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms, and conditions of the Non-CPLV MLSA (including, without limitation, the obligations of “Lease Guarantor” (as such term is defined in the Non-CPLV MLSA) in respect of the “Guaranteed Obligations” (as defined in the Non-CPLV MLSA) in respect of the “Required Capital Expenditures” (as defined in the Non-CPLV Lease) under the Non-CPLV Lease); and (3) the preceding clause (1) shall not apply with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations in respect of Required Capital Expenditures under the Lease.

17.2.2 Guaranty Termination Obligations.

17.2.2.1 Guaranteed Obligations comprising Guaranty Termination Obligations shall not be subject to the process described in Section 17.2.1. Instead (subject to the final two (2) sentences of this Section 17.2.2.1), Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord, in full in cash, any and all known or demanded Guaranty Termination Obligations immediately following the Guaranty Release Date. Lease Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the full extent of all of the Guaranty Termination Obligations may not be known or demanded as of the Guaranty Release Date. Accordingly, to the extent that any amount of any portion of the Guaranty Termination Obligations is either not known or not demanded by Landlord as of the Guaranty Release Date, then Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord all of such portion of the Guaranty Termination Obligations, in full in cash, promptly upon subsequent demand by Landlord for such Guaranty Termination Obligations, and the failure or delay of Landlord to demand such payment shall not be a waiver of any right of Landlord to receive the Guaranty Termination Obligations in full.

17.2.2.2 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (1) except as provided in the succeeding clauses (2), and (3), in respect of any Guaranty Termination Obligations properly set forth in any demand delivered pursuant to Section 17.2.2.1 hereof, Lease Guarantor shall be required to pay eighty percent (80%), but not more than eighty (80%), of such Guaranty Termination Obligations (provided that, following payment of such eighty percent (80%) of such Guaranty Termination Obligations, Landlord shall not be permitted to make any demand against Lease Guarantor with respect to the remaining twenty percent (20%) of such Guaranty Termination Obligations set forth in the applicable demand), (2) for avoidance of doubt, the preceding clause (1) is not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, change, modify or reduce the “Guaranty Termination Obligations” (as such term is defined in the Non-CPLV MLSA) or otherwise vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms, and conditions of the Non-CPLV MLSA (including, without limitation, the obligations of “Lease Guarantor” (as such term is defined in the Non-CPLV MLSA) in respect of the “Guaranty Termination Obligations” (as defined in the Non-CPLV MLSA) in respect of “Required Capital Expenditures” (as defined in the Non-CPLV Lease) under the Non-CPLV Lease); (3) the preceding clause (1) shall not apply with respect to any Guaranty Termination Obligations (x) to the extent relating to Required Capital Expenditures under the Lease or (y) to the extent relating to Guaranteed Obligations under clause (iii) of Section 17.1.

17.2.3 Interest. If all or any part of any Guaranteed Obligation shall not be paid on or prior to Lease Guarantor’s deadline to so do as provided in this Section 17.2, Lease Guarantor shall pay, immediately upon demand by Landlord, and without presentment, protest, or notice (each of which is hereby waived by Lease Guarantor to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), in addition to such Guaranteed Obligation, but without duplication of any interest accruing on such amounts pursuant to the Lease and otherwise payable as a Guaranteed Obligation (and without interest accruing on any interest), interest on the amount of such Guaranteed Obligation (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) five percentage points above the Prime Rate and (ii) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law, accruing from the date of Lease Guarantor’s deadline by which to make such payment under this Section 17.2.

17.2.4 Enforcement Costs. If Landlord or Lease Guarantor brings an action or other proceeding against the other to enforce or interpret any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or any instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement, or by reason of any breach or default hereunder or thereunder, the Party substantially prevailing in any such action or proceeding and any appeal thereupon shall be paid all of its costs and reasonable documented outside attorneys’ fees incurred therein.

17.3 Guaranty Provisions.

17.3.1 Nature of Lease Guaranty.

17.3.1.1 Until such time as Lease Guarantor has paid in full in cash all of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any and all Guaranty Termination Obligations, Lease Guarantor shall continue to be liable under the Lease Guaranty (except solely if and to the extent expressly provided in Section 17.3.5 below). Lease Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations (A) shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, whether or not notice thereof is given to Lease Guarantor (in each case subject to the final sentence of this Section 17.3.1.1): (i) any agreement or stipulation between Landlord and Tenant extending the time of performance under, or any other agreement, amendment, modification, supplement or other instrument modifying any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in, the Lease; (ii) any renewal or extension of the Lease pursuant to an option granted in the Lease, if any; (iii) any waiver by Landlord, or failure of Landlord to enforce, any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in the Lease or any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in any modifications thereof; (iv) any assignment of the Lease, or any subletting or subsubletting of, or any other occupancy arrangements in respect of, all or any part of the Managed Facility (in each case, subject to Section 17.3.5); (v) any release, waiver, consent, indulgence, forbearance or other action, inaction or omission by Landlord or otherwise under or in respect of the Lease or any other instrument or agreement; (vi) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership or trusteeship affecting, Tenant, Landlord or any other Party or their respective successors or assigns or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective assets, or any actual or attempted rejection, assumption, assignment, separation, severance, or recharacterization of the Lease or any portion thereof, or any discharge of liability thereunder, in connection with any such proceeding or otherwise; (vii) any other defenses, other than a defense of payment or performance in full, as the case may be, of the Guaranteed Obligations; (viii) the existence of any claim, setoff, counterclaim, defense or other rights that may be at any time be available to, or asserted by, Lease Guarantor or Tenant against Landlord, whether in connection with the Lease, the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise; (ix) any breach by (or any act or omission of any nature of) Landlord under the Lease; (x) (except if Article XXI requires

implementation of a Replacement Structure, and such Replacement Structure does not occur as a direct and proximate result of Landlord’s acts or failure to act in accordance with Article XXI, solely to the extent expressly provided in Section 21.3) any breach by (or any act or omission of any nature of) Landlord under this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements; (xi) any law or statute that may operate to cap, limit, or otherwise restrict the claims of a lessor of real property, including, but not limited to, Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code; (xii) the integration of the Lease Guaranty together with the other components of this Agreement (as opposed to the Lease Guaranty having been made by Lease Guarantor as an independent, standalone instrument); (xiii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease; (xiv) the failure of Landlord to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of this Agreement, the Lease or otherwise; (xv) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (including the Lease) for any reason whatsoever (subject, in each case, to Section 17.3.5 and Article XXI of this Agreement); and/or (xvi) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the obligations of Tenant under the Lease or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Landlord that might vary the risk of Lease Guarantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, Lease Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety and (B) are in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempts to collect or any other condition or contingency. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement or the Lease to the contrary, Lease Guarantor shall not be subject to (and the Lease Guaranty will not be applicable with respect to) any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification of the terms of the Lease that increases Tenant’s monetary obligations thereunder or, subject to Section 17.3.1.8, Section 17.3.1.9 and Section 17.3.1.10 hereof, that is otherwise adverse to the rights of Tenant and/or Lease Guarantor, unless Lease Guarantor shall have expressly consented thereto in writing (in its sole and absolute discretion); provided, however, that Lease Guarantor shall, in all events, remain liable for (and the Lease Guaranty will be applicable with respect to) any and all Guaranteed Obligations that would exist without giving effect to any such amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification of the terms of the Lease that increases Tenant’s monetary obligations thereunder; provided, further, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this sentence is intended to vitiate or supersede Section 17.3.1.8, Section 17.3.1.9 and Section 17.3.1.10 hereof.

17.3.1.2 Subject to Section 17.3.5, the liability of Lease Guarantor under the Lease Guaranty shall be an absolute, direct, immediate, continuing and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectability, may not be revoked by Lease Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to all of the Guaranteed Obligations notwithstanding any attempted revocation by Lease Guarantor and shall not be conditional or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Lease or any other documents or instruments relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, including any Party’s lack of authority or lawful right to enter into such document on such Party’s behalf, or the pursuit by Landlord of any remedies Landlord may have. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the

liability of Lease Guarantor under the Lease Guaranty shall be unaffected by (a) the absence of any action to enforce the Lease Guaranty, any other obligation of Lease Guarantor hereunder, the Lease or any other instrument or agreement, or the waiver or consent by Landlord with respect to any of the provisions of any of them; or (b) the existence, value, or condition of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Landlord in respect thereof (including, without limitation, the release of any such security).

17.3.1.3 Subject to Section 17.3.5, the Lease Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

17.3.1.4 In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Tenant or Lease Guarantor, the Guaranteed Obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Landlord as a preference, fraudulent transfer or for any other reason. Any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes under the Lease Guaranty.

17.3.1.5 The Lease Guaranty shall continue in full force and be binding upon Lease Guarantor, its successors and assigns, in accordance with its terms. Lease Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

17.3.1.6 The Lease Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Landlord and its permitted successors and assigns, including any Landlord’s Lender to which the Lease has been assigned and its permitted successors and assigns.

17.3.1.7 Lease Guarantor, at its expense, during the Term shall take such commercially reasonable actions as may be reasonably required to obtain and maintain such required approvals or authorizations from the applicable Governmental Authorities to permit Lease Guarantor to guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder.

17.3.1.8 Without limitation of any of the other provisions, terms, and conditions hereof, Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the implementation of a Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Assumption, this Agreement (including the Lease Guaranty) shall remain in full force and effect and Lease Guarantor shall be obligated in all respects under the Lease Guaranty without any termination, reduction, impairment or reduction whatsoever, irrespective of whether any of the following shall have occurred (whether or not notice thereof is given to Lease Guarantor) (in each and any such case, irrespective of whether Lease Guarantor shall execute an affirmation or reaffirmation of its obligations under the Lease Guaranty, or otherwise affirm or reaffirm its obligations hereunder in connection therewith): (i) any foreclosure or such other termination of Tenant’s interest in the Lease or of any or all of the equity in Tenant, (ii) any other exercise of remedies by the applicable Leasehold

Lender, (iii) any changes in the nature of the relationship between Tenant, on the one hand, and Lease Guarantor and Manager, on the other hand, including by reason of the replacement of Tenant with a Qualified Transferee (as defined in the Lease) that is unrelated to Lease Guarantor or Manager, or (iv) any changes or modifications with respect to the Lease of any nature in connection with such Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Assumption pursuant to and contemplated by the third to last paragraph of Section 22.2 of the Lease. LEASE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CONTENTION THAT ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17.3.1.8 ARE UNENFORCEABLE, AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED TO ASSERT TO THE CONTRARY.

17.3.1.9 Without limitation of any of the other provisions, terms, and conditions hereof, Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that if a New Lease is successfully entered into in accordance with Section 17.1(f) of the Lease, and, in connection therewith, the applicable Leasehold Lender has elected to proceed in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) of the Lease, then, in any such event, this Agreement (including the Lease Guaranty) shall remain in full force and effect and Lease Guarantor shall be obligated in all respects under the Lease Guaranty without any termination, reduction, impairment or reduction whatsoever, irrespective of whether any of the following shall have occurred (whether or not notice thereof is given to Lease Guarantor) (in each and any such case, irrespective of whether Lease Guarantor shall execute an affirmation or reaffirmation of its obligations under the Lease Guaranty, or otherwise affirm or reaffirm its obligations hereunder in connection therewith): (i) any foreclosure or such other termination of Tenant’s interest in the Lease or of any or all of the equity in Tenant or any other exercise of remedies by the applicable Leasehold Lender, (ii) any termination of the Lease, (iii) any changes in the nature of the relationship between Tenant, on the one hand, and Lease Guarantor and Manager on the other hand, including by reason of the replacement of Tenant with a Qualified Transferee (as defined in the Lease) that is unrelated to Lease Guarantor or Manager, or (iv) the entry into the New Lease on the terms and conditions contemplated under Section 17.1(f) of the Lease. LEASE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CONTENTION THAT ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17.3.1.9 ARE UNENFORCEABLE, AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED TO ASSERT TO THE CONTRARY.

17.3.1.10 Without limitation of any of the other provisions, terms, and conditions hereof, Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lease Guarantor shall, at the request of Landlord, affirm or reaffirm in writing all of its obligations under this Agreement including as Lease Guarantor in respect of the Lease or any New Lease, as applicable, upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) any Lease Foreclosure Transaction in accordance with Section 22.2(i) of the Lease in connection with which the applicable Leasehold Lender has elected to proceed in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) of the Lease (provided that no amendments or modifications are made to the Lease in connection therewith other than pursuant to and as contemplated by the third to last paragraph of Section 22.2 of the Lease); (ii) the assumption by any

Person (including a Person that is unrelated to Manager or Lease Guarantor) of Tenant’s rights and obligations under the Lease in connection with any such Lease Foreclosure Transaction (provided that no amendments or modifications are made to the Lease in connection therewith other than pursuant to and as contemplated by the third to last paragraph of Section 22.2 of the Lease); or (iii) the execution of any New Lease by any Person (including a Person that is unrelated to Manager or Lease Guarantor) in accordance with Section 17.1(f) of the Lease, in connection with which the applicable Leasehold Lender has elected to proceed in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) of the Lease. Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lease Guarantor’s failure to so reaffirm in a writing reasonably acceptable to Landlord all of its obligations under this Agreement within five (5) days of a request from Landlord shall be an immediate Lease Guarantor Event of Default. In addition, and without limitation of anything otherwise contained in this Agreement, Lease Guarantor acknowledges it has executed and delivered to Landlord that certain Indemnity Agreement, Power of Attorney and Related Covenants (Joliet), pursuant to which, among other things, Lease Guarantor has appointed Landlord as its attorney-in-fact with full power in Lease Guarantor’s name and behalf to execute and deliver at any time an affirmation or reaffirmation of this Agreement, including as to the Lease Guaranty. LEASE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CONTENTION THAT ITS AGREEMENTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17.3.1.10 OR THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THE AFORESAID INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, POWER OF ATTORNEY AND RELATED COVENANTS (JOLIET) ARE UNENFORCEABLE, AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED TO ASSERT TO THE CONTRARY.

17.3.2 Subrogation. Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash, Lease Guarantor shall withhold exercise of (a) any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation against Tenant arising from any payment of Guaranteed Obligations by Lease Guarantor, (b) any right of contribution Lease Guarantor may have against any other Person that is liable under the Lease arising from such payment or otherwise in connection with the Lease or this Agreement, (c) any right to enforce any remedy which Lease Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Tenant or Manager or (d) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Landlord in respect of the Lease. Lease Guarantor further agrees that any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation Lease Guarantor may have against Tenant or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution Lease Guarantor may have against any other Person, in connection with any payment of Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise under this Agreement or the Lease by Lease Guarantor shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Landlord may have against Tenant or any such other Person, to all right, title and interest Landlord may have in any such collateral or security, and to any rights Landlord may have against Tenant or any such other Person. If any amount shall be paid to Lease Guarantor on account of any such reimbursement, indemnity, subrogation or contribution rights at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for Landlord and shall forthwith be paid over to Landlord to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of

the Lease or any applicable security agreement. In addition, any indebtedness of Tenant now or hereafter held by Lease Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, the foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant may make payments with respect to such indebtedness unless (A) a Tenant Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) any monetary default by Tenant under the Lease has occurred and is continuing with respect to which Landlord has delivered to Lease Guarantor a Lease Guaranty Claim or otherwise delivered written notice to Tenant or Lease Guarantor.

17.3.3 Enforcement.

17.3.3.1 The obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease. The Lease Guaranty may be enforced by Landlord without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security (such as, for example, any security deposit of Tenant held by Landlord) or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the remedy provisions of the Lease (such as, for example, terminating the Lease) or otherwise, and Lease Guarantor hereby expressly waives the right to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant or any other Person, to exercise its rights and remedies under the Lease, or to pursue any other remedy whatsoever against any Person, security or collateral or enforce any other right at law or in equity. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be necessary for Landlord (and Lease Guarantor hereby waives any rights which it may have to require Landlord), in order to enforce any Guaranteed Obligation against Lease Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against any other Person, security or collateral or resort to any other means of obtaining payment of any Guaranteed Obligation. Nothing herein shall prevent Landlord from suing any Person to enforce the terms of the Lease or from exercising any other rights available to Landlord under the Lease or any other instrument or agreement, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights shall not affect the obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder. Lease Guarantor understands that the exercise, or any forbearance from exercising, by Landlord of certain rights and remedies contained in the Lease may affect or eliminate Lease Guarantor’s right of subrogation against Tenant and that Lease Guarantor may therefore incur liability hereunder that is not subject to reimbursement; nevertheless Lease Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Landlord to exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, it being the purpose and intent of Lease Guarantor that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional, in each case in accordance with its terms hereunder.

17.3.3.2 No failure or delay on the part of Landlord in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Lease Guaranty shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise affect any such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

17.3.3.3 It is understood that Landlord, without impairing the Lease Guaranty, may, subject to the terms of the Lease, apply payments from Tenant or from any reletting of the Leased Property upon a default by Tenant or from or in connection with any exercise of rights or remedies, to any due and unpaid rent or other charges or to such other Guaranteed Obligations owed by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the Lease in such amounts and in such order as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines; provided that any amount so paid and applied reduces the aggregate outstanding liabilities of Tenant under the Lease by such amount as required under the Lease.

17.3.4 Waivers and Other Acknowledgments.

17.3.4.1 Subject to Section 17.2 above, Lease Guarantor hereby waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that Landlord protect any property related thereto, (ii) all notices to Lease Guarantor, Tenant or any other person (whether of nonpayment, termination, acceptance of the Lease Guaranty, default under the Lease, loans or defaults under loans, assignment or sublease, sale of the Leased Property, changes in ownership of Landlord or Tenant, or any other matters relating to the Lease, the Leased Property or related matters, whether or not referred to herein, and including any and all notices of the creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of any Guaranteed Obligations arising under the Lease) in connection with or related to a claim under the Lease Guaranty, (iii) all demands whatsoever in respect of a claim under the Lease Guaranty, (iv) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Landlord’s part in the enforcement of its rights under the provisions of the Lease Guaranty and this Agreement, (v) any defense to the obligation to make any payments required under the Lease Guaranty (vi) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Landlord, (vii) any defense based on any right of set-off or recoupment or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder, and (viii) notice of adverse change in Tenant’s financial condition, or any other fact that might materially increase the risk to Lease Guarantor with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notice or demand given to Lease Guarantor in any instance will not entitle Lease Guarantor to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances nor constitute Landlord’s waiver of its right to take any future action in any circumstance without notice or demand. Lease Guarantor agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety. Lease Guarantor agrees that (other than during a Section 5.9.1(c) Period) it shall be collaterally estopped from contesting, and shall be bound conclusively in any subsequent action, in any jurisdiction, by the judgment in any action by Landlord against Tenant in connection with the Lease or any other Lease/MLSA Related Agreement (wherever instituted) as if Lease Guarantor were a party to such action even if not so joined as a party unless Lease Guarantor attempted to join such action and was not permitted to do so by Landlord.

17.3.4.2 Lease Guarantor hereby waives, and agrees that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets, or redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent, or otherwise affect the performance by Lease Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by Landlord of, the Lease Guaranty. Lease Guarantor represents, warrants, and agrees that, as of the Commencement Date, its obligations under this Lease Guaranty were not subject to any offsets or defenses against Landlord or Tenant of any kind. Lease Guarantor further agrees that its obligations under this Lease Guaranty shall not be subject to any counterclaims (to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law), offsets, or defenses (except the defense of actual payment or performance) against Landlord or against Tenant of any kind which may arise in the future.

17.3.4.3 Lease Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of Tenant, and of any and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Lease Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that Landlord shall not have any duty to advise Lease Guarantor of any information known to Landlord (or otherwise) regarding such circumstances or risks.

17.3.5 Lease Guarantor Release.

17.3.5.1 Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the obligations and liabilities of Lease Guarantor hereunder shall not terminate, be released or be reduced in any respect (including if this Agreement is terminated for any reason) except as expressly set forth in this Section 17.3.5.

17.3.5.2 Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 17.3.5 and Section 17.3.1.4, the liability of Lease Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than with respect to any Guaranty Termination Obligations) shall automatically terminate, and Lease Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement including its obligation to pay any Guaranteed Obligations (other than with respect to any Guaranty Termination Obligations) to Landlord (the date upon which a release as described in this sentence occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Guaranty Release Date”) (i) upon the occurrence of the expiration or termination of this Agreement in accordance with the express provisions of Section 16.2; (ii) upon the effectuation of the Replacement Structure and execution and effectiveness of a Replacement MLSA in accordance with the express provisions of Section 21.1, following a Non-Consented Lease Termination; (iii) if, following a Non-Consented Lease Termination, (x) Landlord or any Landlord’s Lender, as applicable, elects in writing that the Replacement Structure shall not occur or (y) the Replacement Structure does not occur as a direct and proximate result of Landlord’s acts or failure to act in accordance with Article XXI, in each case, solely to the extent expressly provided in Section 21.3; or (iv) if (x) Manager shall be terminated for Cause by Landlord expressly and in writing and (y) an arbitrator in a Cause Arbitration under clause (1) of the definition of “Terminated for Cause” subsequently determines that Cause did not exist for termination of Manager thereunder (it being understood that in the case of this clause (iv), the Guaranty Release Date shall be deemed to be the date of Manager’s termination as set forth in clause (1) of the definition of “Terminated for Cause”). For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth in this Section 17.3.5.2, the termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not result in the termination, release or reduction of Lease Guarantor’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement in any respect.

17.3.5.3 In connection with any release occurring on the Guaranty Release Date as described in Section 17.3.5.2, Landlord shall take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Lease Guarantor to evidence such release.

17.3.5.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 17.3.5 or anything else otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) in the event that Manager is Terminated for Cause, then, except as set forth in Section 17.3.5.2(iv), this Agreement shall not terminate with respect to Lease Guarantor in any respect (and Lease Guarantor shall not be released from any obligation or liability in respect of any aspect of the Guaranteed Obligations) and Lease Guarantor’s obligations shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with (and subject to) the terms of this Agreement, (ii) during any Transition Period, the obligations of Lease Guarantor, Tenant, Manager and Landlord hereunder shall continue in all respects for the duration of such Transition Period in accordance with (and subject to) the terms of this Agreement (it being understood that, in such event, Manager shall continue to act as manager pursuant to the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement and Article XXXVI of the Lease in accordance with Section 16.3.9 hereof), and (iii) in the event of a Non-Consented Lease Termination, the obligations of Lease Guarantor and the other Parties hereunder shall be governed by Article XXI.

17.3.5.5 [Reserved]

17.3.5.6 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements to the contrary (and without intending to vitiate, limit or supersede Section 1.3 hereof), but subject to Section 17.3.5.2, in the event this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements (or any portion of any of them) is unenforceable (for any reason whatsoever) against any Party to this Agreement, including, without limitation, as a result of rejection of this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding, the Lease Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect without any change or impairment (and shall not be terminated, released or reduced) in any respect, and shall be treated as if all of the obligations and liabilities of the Lease Guaranty were set forth, ab initio, in a separate instrument to which the Party against which this Agreement or any such Lease/MLSA Related Agreement (or any portion of any of them) is unenforceable is not a party.

17.3.5.7 Notwithstanding anything otherwise contained in this Agreement, for so long as any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any Guaranty Termination Obligations) payable pursuant to this Agreement has not been irrevocably paid in full in cash or if any Guaranteed Obligations have been reinstated in accordance with Section 17.3.1.4, all provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement

shall survive and remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary so that Landlord may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it in respect of the Lease Guaranty hereunder, including any and all rights available to Landlord in respect of any Lease Guarantor Event of Default or any nonpayment in full in cash of any and all such Guaranteed Obligations as and when provided hereunder; provided that the provisions of Article XI and Section 17.4 shall terminate on the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date.

17.4 Guarantor Covenants.

17.4.1 Asset Sales. Prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor shall not effect any Asset Sale unless:

(1) Lease Guarantor receives consideration equal to at least the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by a responsible officer of Lease Guarantor or, with respect to any Asset Sale to an Affiliate, as determined pursuant to the opinion referred to in clause (2) below) of the disposed assets measured as of the date of such Asset Sale; and

(2) in the case of any Asset Sale to an Affiliate of Lease Guarantor, (a) such Asset Sale is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors of Lease Guarantor; (b) Lease Guarantor obtains an opinion from an Approved Fairness Opinion Firm that such Asset Sale is fair to Lease Guarantor from a financial point of view after such Approved Fairness Opinion Firm conducts an independent assessment of all material terms of such Asset Sale; and (c) prior to the consummation of any such Asset Sale, (i) Lease Guarantor offers, in writing, to make such Asset Sale to Landlord on the same terms on which such Asset Sale is proposed to be made to such Affiliate and (ii) Landlord either declines such offer or fails to provide written notice of acceptance of such offer to Lease Guarantor within thirty (30) Business Days of the date such offer is made to Landlord (in which event Lease Guarantor may effect such Asset Sale only upon the same terms offered to Landlord or on terms less favorable to the applicable buyer than the terms offered to Landlord). To constitute a valid offer in accordance with clause (2)(c)(i) above, Lease Guarantor shall furnish to Landlord all material information made available to the purchaser in such Asset Sale, including at a minimum, basic information identifying the applicable assets, material acquisition terms, including, without limitation, the purchase price and reasonable historical financial and all other customary diligence materials and other information relating to the applicable assets to be sold and such additional information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord and in the possession or control of Lease Guarantor or its Affiliates.

17.4.2 Acceptance of Asset Sale Offer. If Landlord accepts any offer described in clause (2)(c)(i) of Section 17.4.1 within the time limit and in the manner described in clause (2)(c)(ii) of Section 17.4.1, then Landlord (or any designee of Landlord) and Lease Guarantor shall promptly proceed to consummate the Asset Sale contemplated by such offer on the terms set forth in such offer; provided that the parties shall be entitled to a minimum period of forty five (45) days between acceptance of the offer and the closing. In the event Landlord (or such designee) fails to consummate such Asset Sale on such terms, then Landlord shall be deemed to have declined such offer for purposes of this Section 17.4 and Lease Guarantor may effect such Asset Sale only upon the same terms offered to Landlord or on terms less favorable to the applicable buyer than the terms offered to Landlord.

17.4.3 Dividends. In addition to any other applicable restrictions hereunder, prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor shall not, directly or indirectly, declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution with respect to its capital stock or other equity interests with any assets other than cash unless such dividend or distribution would not reasonably be expected to result in Lease Guarantor’s inability to perform its Lease Guaranty obligations under this Agreement.

17.4.4 Restricted Payments. In addition to the foregoing, prior to the earlier of (1) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (2) the date that is six years after the Commencement Date, Lease Guarantor shall not directly or indirectly (i) declare or pay, or cause to be declared or paid, any dividend, distribution, any other direct or indirect payment or transfer (in each case, in cash, stock, other property, a combination thereof or otherwise) with respect to any of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests, (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests, or (iii) engage in any other transaction with any direct or indirect holder of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests which is similar in purpose or effect to those described above (collectively, a “Restricted Payment”), except that Lease Guarantor can execute (1) any of the transactions outlined above if: (a) Lease Guarantor’s equity market capitalization after giving pro forma effect to such dividend, distribution, or other transaction is at least $5.5 billion, (b) the amount of such dividend, distribution, or other transaction (together with any and all other such dividends and distributions and other transactions made under this clause (1)(b) but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any dividends, distributions or other transactions to be made under clause (1)(c) or (2) below in such fiscal year), does not exceed, in the aggregate, (x) 25% of the net proceeds, up to a cap of $25 million in any fiscal year, from the disposition of assets by Lease Guarantor and its subsidiaries, plus (y) $100 million from other sources in any fiscal year or (c) Lease Guarantor’s equity market capitalization after giving pro forma effect to such dividend, distribution, or other transaction is at least $4.5 billion and the aggregate amount of such dividends, distributions or other transactions made under this clause (c) (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any dividends, distributions or other transactions made under clause (1)(b) above or clause (2) below in such fiscal year) is less than or equal to $125 million in any fiscal year and is funded solely by asset sale proceeds or (2) any transaction described in clause (ii) above so long as the aggregate amount of all such transactions made under this clause (2) (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any such transactions made from and after the Commencement Date under clause (1)(b) or (1)(c) above) is less than or equal to $199,500,000.00 (it being understood that from and after such time that the aggregate amount of all such transactions made from and after the Commencement Date under this clause (2) exceeds $199,500,000.00, no further transactions shall be permitted under this clause (2)). Prior to the earlier of (1) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (2) the date that is six years after the Commencement Date, except as provided in clause (1)(a) or (1)(c) in the preceding sentence, any net proceeds from the disposition of assets by Lease Guarantor or its subsidiaries after the Commencement Date in excess of $25 million that are directly or indirectly distributed to, or otherwise received by, Lease Guarantor in any fiscal year shall not be used to fund any Restricted Payment.

17.4.5 Springing Covenants and Liens.

17.4.5.1 If at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor either (i) guaranties all or any portion of any Opco First Lien Debt (any such guaranty, an “Opco Debt Guaranty”), and the obligations under any such Opco Debt Guaranty are at any time secured by any property directly owned by CEC or any Springing Lien Subsidiary of CEC or (ii) causes all or any portion of the obligations under the Opco First Lien Debt to be at any time secured by any property directly owned by CEC or any Springing Lien Subsidiary of CEC (any and all such property in clauses (i) and (ii), “Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral”), then, in each such instance and for so long as any such Opco Debt Guaranty or Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral is outstanding, Lease Guarantor shall, and shall cause any and all other grantors of Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral to grant, in the same security agreement documenting the grant of a security interest in the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral in favor of the Opco First Lien Debt (an “Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest”), to Landlord a lien (a “Lease Guaranty Security Interest”) on all Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral, which Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall secure all obligations of Lease Guarantor under the Lease Guaranty and shall rank pari passu with the Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest; provided that if the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral is limited solely to a pledge of Lease Guarantor’s or any other such grantor’s equity interest in CEOC, then neither Lease Guarantor nor any other such grantor shall be required to grant a Lease Guaranty Security Interest. Any Lease Guaranty Security Interest granted pursuant to this Section 17.4.5 shall be automatically released upon the earlier of (i) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (ii) the release of the respective Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (unless such release occurs in connection with a refinancing of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt with a Non-Third Party Financing, in which case such Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be automatically released upon the repayment or refinancing (other than with other Non-Third Party Financing) of such Non-Third Party Financing). Any Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be a “silent” security interest, and Landlord shall have no voting, enforcement or default-related rights with respect to such security interest unless and until the earlier of (x) the occurrence of a Lease Guarantor Event of Default and (y) the occurrence of any event that would permit the holders of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt to take enforcement actions in respect of such Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest, at which time Landlord shall be permitted to exercise all rights available to a secured creditor with respect to the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral, including all rights available to any holder of an Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest. Lease Guarantor shall cause the beneficiaries of any Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest to enter into and become bound by an intercreditor agreement that is consistent with this provision and that is reasonably acceptable to Lease Guarantor and Landlord and containing, among other things, provisions governing the pari passu nature of any Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest and Lease Guaranty Security Interest, and the “waterfall” by which any proceeds of, or collections on, the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral will be distributed on an equal and ratable basis as between the beneficiaries of any Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest and Lease Guaranty Security Interest.

17.4.5.2 If at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor becomes obligated on any Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (it being understood that a customary equity pledge solely of Lease Guarantor’s equity interests in CEOC shall not be deemed to be an Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest, unless such pledge includes covenants other than those customary for a pledge of such type or specifically relating to the pledge of equity interests in CEOC (e.g., covenants concerning Lease Guarantor’s or such other grantor’s existence and place of organization, other covenants relating to maintaining the validity, enforceability, perfection, and priority of the pledge and prohibitions of liens on the pledged collateral)), and the obligations that are the subject of such Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest are refinanced at any time as part of a Non-Third Party Financing, then any covenant provisions included in such Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest that are applicable to Lease Guarantor and its subsidiaries shall be automatically incorporated into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, and shall apply to Lease Guarantor and any such subsidiaries, for the benefit of Landlord hereunder. Any such covenants that are so incorporated into this Agreement shall automatically cease to apply to Lease Guarantor and any such subsidiaries upon the earlier of (x) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (y) the release of the respective Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (unless such release occurs in connection with a refinancing of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt with a Non-Third Party Financing, in which case such Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be automatically released upon the repayment or refinancing (other than with other Non-Third Party Financing) of such Non-Third Party Financing).

17.4.6 Lease Guaranty Unaffected. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the making of the Lease Guaranty by CEC to Landlord was a material, critical and indispensable inducement to Landlord agreeing to enter into this Agreement and the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements, and, but for the fact that CEC has delivered the Lease Guaranty to Landlord, Landlord would not have entered into this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements. For this and other reasons, it is the intent of the Parties that, other than as expressly provided in Section 17.3.5, the Lease Guaranty will continue in full force and effect under any and all circumstances and shall not be terminated, released, impaired or reduced in any respect.

17.5 Lease Guarantor Representations and Warranties.

17.5.1 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Lease Guarantor represents and warrants as of the First Amendment Date that Lease Guarantor (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware; (ii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification; and (iii) is in compliance with all Applicable Law where the failure to comply would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on Lease Guarantor’s ability to pay the Guaranteed Obligations or perform its other obligations in accordance with the terms hereof.

17.5.2 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Guaranteed Obligations. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Lease Guaranty and all instruments and documents to be delivered by Lease Guarantor hereunder (i) are within Lease Guarantor’s corporate powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary or proper corporate action, (iii) are not in contravention of any provision of Lease Guarantor’s articles or certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (iv) will not violate any law or regulations, or any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (v) will not conflict with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement, or other instrument to which Lease Guarantor is a party or by which Lease Guarantor or any of its property is bound, except as would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Lease Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder, (vi) will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the property of Lease Guarantor (except to the extent provided in Section 17.4.5), and (vii) do not require the consent or approval of any governmental body, agency, authority, or any other person except those already obtained, except as would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Lease Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. This Lease Guaranty is duly executed and delivered on behalf of Lease Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Lease Guarantor, enforceable against Lease Guarantor in accordance with its terms (subject to any applicable principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights).

17.6 Bankruptcy.

17.6.1 Lease Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that it shall not file a petition for relief as a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy, insolvency, debt composition, moratorium, receiver or similar federal or state laws for the purpose of limiting its liability hereunder, including by operation of Section 502(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar provisions. Lease Guarantor further agrees and acknowledges that, if, notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall seek any such relief, Lease Guarantor’s violation of this provision will constitute “cause” to dismiss any such proceeding, including under Section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code, and Lease Guarantor will not and will not attempt to (and will oppose any effort by any other party to) oppose any motion or request by Landlord or any other party to dismiss any such proceeding.

17.6.2 Lease Guarantor further agrees and acknowledges that its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement shall be fully enforceable against Lease Guarantor in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding, and Lease Guarantor hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that it will not and will not attempt to (and will oppose any effort by any other party to) impair, reduce, cap, limit, or otherwise restrict the claims of Landlord in any such proceeding including, but not limited to, by operation of Section 502(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

17.6.3 Lease Guarantor further agrees and acknowledges that it will not and will not attempt to (and will oppose any effort by any other party to) characterize in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding Landlord’s claims to recover any Guaranteed Obligations as claims of a lessor for damages resulting from the termination of a lease of real property.

ARTICLE XVIII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

18.1 Generally.

18.1.1 Except for disputes specifically provided in this Agreement to be referred to Expert Resolution, all claims, demands, controversies, disputes, actions or causes of action of any nature or character arising out of or in connection with, or related to, this Agreement, whether legal or equitable, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise shall be resolved in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and any appellate courts thereto, or if federal jurisdiction is lacking, then in the state courts of New York State located in New York County. The Parties agree that service of process for purposes of any such litigation or legal proceeding need not be personally served or served within the State of New York, but may be served with the same effect as if the Party in question were served within the State of New York, by giving notice containing such service to the intended recipient (with copies to counsel) in the manner provided in Section 20.5. This provision shall survive and be binding upon the Parties after this Agreement is no longer in effect.

18.1.2 If any dispute between or among any of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates is pending in any state or federal court located in the State of New York with respect to this Agreement, and any subsequent dispute arises between or among one or more Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which is not required by this Agreement to be referred to Expert Resolution and is pending in any other state or federal court, the Parties shall (to the extent permissible under applicable rules) jointly move to consolidate such subsequent dispute in the same court (located in the State of New York) with the pending dispute, and in the event that the court declines to consolidate the disputes (or consolidation is not permissible under applicable rules), the Parties shall request that the court refer the subsequent dispute to the judge presiding over the pending dispute as a related case, it being the intent of the Parties to keep any litigation relating to this Agreement within the same court to the fullest extent possible under the law.

18.2 Expert Resolution. With respect to any dispute expressly provided herein to be submitted to an Expert pursuant to this Agreement, any Party that is party to such dispute may require that the dispute be submitted to final and binding arbitration (without appeal or review) in New York, New York (“Expert Resolution”), administered by an independent arbitration tribunal consisting of three (3) arbitrators, one of which is appointed by each Party and the third arbitrator shall be selected by the other two arbitrators (collectively, the “Expert”). Such Expert Resolution shall be conducted by

the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Expert shall be a person having not less than ten (10) years’ experience in the area of expertise on which the dispute is based and having no conflict of interest with either Party. With respect to any dispute to be submitted to an Expert pursuant to this Agreement, the use of the Expert shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties, and neither Party shall attempt to adjudicate such dispute in any other forum. The decision of the Expert shall be final and binding on the applicable Parties involved in such dispute and such Expert Resolution proceeding and shall not be capable of challenge, whether by Expert Resolution, arbitration, in court or otherwise.

18.2.1 Related Disputes.

18.2.1.1 Any two (2) or more disputes which are required to be submitted to an Expert under this Agreement shall be considered related for purposes of this section if they involve the same or substantially similar issues of law or fact. In the event any Party to a dispute (the “Subsequent Related Dispute”) designates it as being related to a prior or pending dispute (the “Prior Related Dispute”), the Subsequent Related Dispute shall be referred for resolution to the Expert to whom the Prior Related Dispute was referred (the “Initial Expert”). If a Party objects to the designation of a Subsequent Related Dispute as being related to a Prior Related Dispute, the objection shall be resolved by the Initial Expert. If the Initial Expert concludes that the disputes are related, the Subsequent Related Dispute shall be resolved by the Initial Expert in accordance with this Section 18.2, and to the extent practical, issues in the Subsequent Related Dispute that are the same or substantially similar as in the Prior Related Dispute, shall be resolved in a manner consistent with the resolution of such issues in the Prior Related Dispute. If the Initial Expert concludes that the Subsequent Related Dispute is not related to the Prior Related Dispute, the Subsequent Related Dispute shall be referred to an Expert selected in accordance with the introductory paragraph of this Section 18.2.

18.2.1.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a claim is asserted involving an alleged Event of Default under this Agreement (a “Default Claim”), any and all issues, whether legal, factual or otherwise, relating to such Default Claim shall be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of New York in accordance with the provisions hereof regardless of whether any of such issues would otherwise be required to be referred to an Expert for resolution under a provision of this Agreement; provided that, subject to Section 18.2.3, any decision by an Expert made in accordance with this Agreement which was rendered prior to the assertion of a Default Claim and which relates to such Default Claim shall be considered final and binding in any court proceeding involving such Default Claim, it being the intent and understanding of the Parties that, except for specific issues that were determined by an Expert before a Default Claim is asserted, all issues relating to such Default Claim shall be resolved exclusively by the court in the action or proceeding involving the Default Claim.

18.2.2 Restrictions on Expert. THE EXPERT SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO VARY OR IGNORE THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING SECTION 18.7.5, AND SHALL BE BOUND BY APPLICABLE LAW. ALL PROCEEDINGS, AWARDS AND DECISIONS UNDER ANY EXPERT RESOLUTION PROCEEDING SHALL BE STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL, EXCEPT AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO ENFORCE THE SAME.

18.2.3 Landlord and Expert Resolution. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that (i) any determination made by an Expert under this Agreement that does not involve any rights or obligations of Landlord hereunder shall not be binding on Landlord, (ii) any determination made by an Expert under this Agreement that involves any rights or obligations of Landlord hereunder shall not be binding on Landlord unless Landlord was provided with the similar opportunity to participate therein as the other parties thereto, (iii) to the extent the applicable dispute covers issues that are also in dispute under the Lease as to which the Lease does not subject such dispute to arbitration, then the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease shall govern and such dispute shall not be required to be submitted to Expert Resolution and (iv) to the extent the applicable dispute covers issues that are also in dispute under the Lease as to which the Lease subjects such dispute to arbitration, then the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease shall govern and such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable provisions in the Lease.

18.3 Time Limit. With respect to any dispute required hereunder to be submitted to Expert Resolution, such Expert Resolution of a dispute must be commenced within twelve (12) months from the date on which a Party first gave written notice to the other applicable Party of the existence of the dispute, and any Party who fails to commence litigation or Expert Resolution within such twelve (12) month period shall be deemed to have waived any of its affirmative rights and claims in connection with the dispute and shall be barred from asserting such rights and claims at any time thereafter except as a defense to any related or similar claims subsequently raised by the other party. An Expert Resolution shall be deemed commenced by a Party when the Party sends a notice to the other Party and to the American Arbitration Association, identifying the dispute and requesting Expert Resolution. Litigation shall be deemed commenced by a Party when the Party serves a complaint (or, as the case may be, a counterclaim) on the other Party with respect to the dispute. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be construed to require the commencement within any particular period of time of any litigation involving disputes that are not required hereunder to be submitted to Expert Resolution.

18.4 Prevailing Party’s Expenses. The prevailing Party in any Expert Resolution, litigation or other legal action or proceeding arising out of, in connection with or related to this Agreement shall be entitled to recover from the losing Party all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with such Expert Resolution, litigation or other legal action or proceeding (including any appeals and actions to enforce any Expert Resolution awards and court judgments), including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements for attorneys, experts and other third parties engaged in connection therewith and its share of the fees and costs of the Expert. If a Party prevails on some, but not all, of its claims, such Party shall be entitled to recover an equitable amount of such fees, expenses and disbursements, as determined by the applicable Expert(s) or court. All amounts recovered by the prevailing Party under this Section 18.4 shall be separate from, and in addition to, any other amount included in any Expert Resolution award or judgment rendered in favor of such Party.

18.5 WAIVERS.

18.5.1 JURISDICTION AND VENUE. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL DEFENSES BASED ON LACK OF JURISDICTION OR INCONVENIENT VENUE OR FORUM FOR ANY LITIGATION OR OTHER LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING PURSUED BY ANY OTHER PARTY IN THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE SPECIFIED IN SECTION 18.1.

18.6 Survival and Severance. This Article XVIII shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Article XVIII are severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and shall survive and not be merged into any termination or expiration of this Agreement or any judgment or award entered in connection with any dispute, regardless of whether such dispute arises before or after termination or expiration of this Agreement, and regardless of whether the related Expert Resolution or litigation proceedings occur before or after termination or expiration of this Agreement. If any part of this Article XVIII is held to be unenforceable, it shall be severed and shall not affect either the duties to submit any dispute to Expert Resolution or any other part of this Article XVIII.

No Party shall have any remedy in respect of any untrue statement made by any other Party on which that Party relied in entering into this Agreement (unless such untrue statement was made fraudulently), except to the extent that such statement is expressly set forth in this Agreement.

20.2.6 Third-Party Beneficiary. Except as set forth in Section 12.3, no third-party that is not a Party hereunder shall be a beneficiary of Tenant’s or Manager’s rights or benefits under this Agreement; provided that Services Co and its Affiliates shall be an express beneficiary of this Agreement to the extent related to the Managed Facilities IP or to other Intellectual Property rights or confidential information owned by Services Co, and any other provision of this Agreement that specifically identifies Services Co.

20.2.7 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of the remedies provided by Applicable Law, and a Party’s exercise of any one or more remedies for any default shall not preclude the Party from exercising any other remedies at any other time for the same default.

20.2.8 Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any of its terms or provisions may be amended, modified, changed, waived or discharged, except: (a) for the avoidance of doubt, for Manager’s right to make changes to the Total Rewards Program and Centralized Services as and to the extent expressly permitted under this Agreement, (b) as between Manager and Tenant, as set forth in Sections 5.1.7, 5.12 and 10.4 and (c) by an instrument in writing signed by each Party hereto.

20.2.9 Survival. The expiration or termination of this Agreement does not terminate or affect Tenant’s, Manager’s, Lease Guarantor’s or Landlord’s covenants and obligations that expressly survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. This Section 20.2.9 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

20.3 Limitation on Liabilities.

20.3.1 Projections in Annual Budget. Tenant acknowledges that: (a) all budgets and financial projections prepared by Manager or its Affiliates prior to the Commencement Date or under this Agreement, including the Annual Budget, are intended to assist in Operating the Managed Facility, but are not to be relied on by Tenant or any third-party as to the accuracy of the information or the results predicted therein; and (b) Manager does not guarantee the accuracy of the information nor the results in such budgets and projections. Accordingly (except as may be provided in any agreement with such third party to which Manager is a party), Tenant agrees that (i) neither Manager nor its Affiliates shall be liable to Tenant or any third-party for divergence between such budgets and projections and actual operating results achieved except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including limits on incurring expenses; (ii) the failure of the Managed Facility to achieve any Annual Budget for any Operating Year shall not constitute a default by Manager or give Tenant the right to terminate this Agreement; and (iii) if Tenant provides any such budgets or projections to a third-party, Tenant shall advise such third-party in writing of the substance of the disclaimer of liability set forth in this Section 20.3.1 (provided that Tenant’s failure to do so shall not be a breach or default hereunder, although such failure by Tenant shall not expand Manager’s liability hereunder). Manager represents that it shall prepare all budgets and financial projections and operating plans prepared by Manager under this Agreement in good faith based upon Manager’s experience and knowledge.

20.3.2 Approvals and Recommendations. Each Party acknowledges that in granting any consents, approvals or authorizations under this Agreement, and in providing any advice, assistance, recommendation or direction under this Agreement, neither such Party nor any Affiliates guarantee success or a satisfactory result from the subject of such consent, approval, authorization, advice, assistance, recommendation or direction. Accordingly, each Party agrees that neither such Party nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to any other Party or any third person by reason of: (a) any consent, approval or authorization, or advice, assistance, recommendation or direction, given or withheld; or (b) any delay or failure to provide any consent, approval or authorization, or advice, assistance, recommendation or direction (except in the event of a breach of a covenant herein not to unreasonably withhold or delay any consent or approval); provided, however, that each agrees to act in good faith when dealing with or providing any advice, consent, assistance, recommendation or direction.

20.3.3 Technical Advice. Tenant acknowledges that any review, advice, assistance, recommendation or direction provided by Manager with respect to the design, construction, equipping, furnishing, decoration, alteration, improvement, renovation or refurbishing of the Managed Facility (a) is intended solely to assist Tenant in the development, construction, maintenance, repair and upgrading of the Managed

100

Facility and Tenant’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement; and (b) does not constitute any representation, warranty or guaranty of any kind whatsoever that (i) there are no errors in the plans and specification, (ii) there are no defects in the design of construction of the Managed Facility or installation of any building systems or FF&E therein or (iii) the plans, specifications, construction and installation work will comply with all Applicable Laws (including laws or regulations governing public accommodations for Individuals with disabilities). Accordingly, Tenant agrees that neither Manager nor its Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to Tenant or any third-party for any (A) errors in the plans and specifications; (B) defects in the design of construction of the Managed Facility or installation of any building systems or FF&E therein; or (C) noncompliance with any engineering and structural design standards or Applicable Laws.

20.4 Waivers. Except as set forth in Section 18.3 of this Agreement, no failure or delay by a Party to insist upon the strict performance of any term of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent on a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any breach or any subsequent breach of such term. No waiver of any default shall alter this Agreement, but each and every term of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.

20.5 Notices. All notices, consents, determinations, requests, approvals, demands, reports, objections, directions and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by: (a) personal delivery; (b) overnight DHL, FedEx, UPS or other similar courier service; or (c) confirmed facsimile transmission (provided that a copy of such facsimile transmission together with confirmation of such facsimile transmission is delivered to the addressee in the manner provided in clause (a) or (b) above by no later than the second (2nd) Business Day following such transmission, addressed to the Parties at the addresses specified below, or at such other address as the Party to whom the notice is sent has designated in accordance with this Section 20.5), and shall be deemed to have been received by the Party to whom such notice or other communication is sent upon (i) delivery to the address (or facsimile number) of the recipient Party; provided that such delivery is made prior to 5:00 p.m. (local time for the recipient Party) on a Business Day, otherwise the following Business Day; or (ii) the attempted delivery of such Notice if such recipient Party refuses delivery, or such recipient Party is no longer at such address (or facsimile number), and failed to provide the sending Party with its current address pursuant to this Section 20.5 (unless the sending Party had actual knowledge of such current address). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice or other communication delivered to a Party by email that is actually received by such Party (and for which such Party has sent an acknowledgement of receipt by return email that was not automatically generated) shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given for purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been received at the time described in clause (i) above, as if such notice had been delivered by one of the methods described in clauses (a) through (c) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any documents or materials delivered under this Agreement are delivered by email (with confirmation of receipt from the intended recipient that was not automatically generated), no additional copies of such documents or materials shall be required to be delivered.

20.6 No Indirect Actions. Unless otherwise expressly stated, if a Party may not take an action under this Agreement, then it may not take that action indirectly, or assist or support any other Person in taking that action directly or indirectly. “Taking an action indirectly” means taking an action that is not expressly prohibited for the Party but is intended to have substantially the same effects as the prohibited action.

20.7 No Recordation. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof shall be recorded against the Leased Property (including the Managed Facility), and Tenant is hereby granted a power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable) to execute and record on behalf of Manager a notice or memorandum removing this Agreement or such memorandum of this Agreement from the public records or evidencing the termination hereof (as the case may be).

20.8 Further Assurances. The Parties shall do and cause to be done all such acts, matters and things and shall execute and deliver all such documents and instruments as shall be required to enable the Parties to perform their respective obligations under, and to give effect to the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.

102

20.9 Relationship of Certain Parties.

20.9.1 Tenant and Manager acknowledge and agree that (a) the relationship between Tenant and Manager shall be that of principal (in the case of Tenant) and agent (in the case of Manager), which relationship may not be terminated by Tenant except in strict accord with the termination provisions of this Agreement; (b) Manager shall have the authority to bind Tenant with respect to third Persons to the extent Manager is performing its obligations under and consistent with this Agreement; (c) Manager’s agency established with Tenant is, and is intended to be, an agency coupled with an interest; and (d) this Agreement does not create joint venturers, partners or joint tenants with respect to the Managed Facility. Tenant and Manager further acknowledge and agree that in Operating the Managed Facility, including entering into leases and contracts, accepting reservations, and conducting financial transactions for the Managed Facility, (i) Manager assumes no independent contractual liability; and (ii) Manager shall have no obligation to extend its own credit with respect to any obligation incurred in Operating the Managed Facility or performing its obligation under this Agreement.

20.9.2 Each of the Parties agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, joint tenancy or similar relationship between any of the Parties.

20.10 Force Majeure. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 20.10, 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 an obligation to pay any amount hereunder) shall be extended for each day that such Party is prevented, hindered or delayed in such performance during the period of such Force Majeure Event, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the affected Party shall give prompt notice of such Force Majeure Event to the other Party. If Manager is unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure Event, or Manager reasonably deems it necessary to close and cease the Operation of all or a portion of the Managed Facility due to a Force Majeure Event in order to protect the Managed Facility or the health, safety or welfare of its guests or Managed Facility Personnel, then, subject to the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease, Manager may close or cease Operation of all or a portion of the Managed Facility for such time and in such manner as Manager reasonably deems necessary as a result of such Force Majeure Event, and reopen or recommence the Operation of the Managed Facility when Manager again is able to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and determines that there is no unreasonable risk to the Managed Facility or health, safety or welfare or its guests or Managed Facility Personnel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, neither the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event nor the taking of any action by Manager in accordance with this Section 20.10 shall (i) result in the termination or derogation of Lease Guarantor’s obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in any respect, or (ii) without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, be deemed to vitiate, limit or supersede any of the provisions, terms or conditions of the Lease.

103

20.11 Terms of Other Management Agreements. Manager makes no representation or warranty that any past or future forms of its management agreement do or will contain terms substantially similar to those contained in this Agreement. In addition, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Manager may, due to local business conditions or otherwise, waive or modify any comparable terms of other management agreements heretofore or hereafter entered into by Manager or its Affiliates; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing contained in this Section 20.11 shall be deemed to vitiate, limit or supersede Manager’s obligation to manage the Operation of the Managed Facility in a Non-Discriminatory manner, in accordance with the Operating Standard and subject to Manager’s Standard of Care.

20.12 Compliance with Law. Tenant and Manager shall each exercise their respective rights, perform their respective obligations and take all other actions required or permitted to be taken by each of them hereunder in compliance with all Applicable Laws.

20.13 Insurance Programs and Purchasing Arrangements Generally. The Parties hereby agree that Manager and its Affiliates shall administer, implement and make available to Tenant and the Managed Facility, the Insurance Programs and any multi-party purchasing programs and arrangements contemplated hereunder on commercially reasonable terms and on a Non-Discriminatory basis and in such a manner that, in each case, there shall be no (i) xxxx-up, margin or other premium charged or otherwise passed through to Tenant in connection therewith (except as may be payable to a third party), and (ii) duplication of any reimbursable expense otherwise payable by Tenant to Manager or its Affiliates.

20.14 Execution of Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

20.15 Lease. Without limiting Manager’s rights set forth in this Agreement, Tenant shall, (a) not terminate the Lease, (b) comply in all respects with its base rent payments, variable rent payments and all other payment obligations set forth in the Lease, (c) otherwise comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the Lease and (d) not suffer an Assignment of Tenant’s interest in the Lease except pursuant to an Assignment permitted under the Lease that, except in the case of a Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Termination, is entered into concurrently with an Assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Agreement that is otherwise permitted by this Agreement and which includes the Managed Facility. Tenant shall provide prompt written notice to Manager and Lease Guarantor of the receipt of any written notice from Landlord (or any Landlord’s Lender) delivered pursuant to the Lease, including any notice of breach under the Lease or any termination notice delivered under the Lease, in each case including a copy of the relevant notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 20.15 is only for the benefit of Manager (and not Landlord).

104

20.16 Omnibus Agreement; Services Co LLC Agreement. The Parties agree that any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification of the Omnibus Agreement or of the Services Co LLC Agreement made from or after the Commencement Date that is (i) by its own terms, not Non-Discriminatory as to the Managed Facility, (ii) not Non-Discriminatory to the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, (iii) reasonably likely to result in a level of service or quality of Operation of the Managed Facility that does not meet the Operating Standard, or (iv) reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Managed Facility, shall, solely with respect to Tenant and the Managed Facility, be void and of no effect, absent the express written consent of Landlord. For purposes of this Section 20.16, each of CLC and Services Co shall be a “Party”.

ARTICLE XXI

NON-CONSENTED LEASE TERMINATION

21.1 Non-Consented Lease Termination. The Parties agree that:

21.1.1 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (and notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement) (and without vitiating, limiting or superseding Section 1.3 hereof in any respect), in the event the Lease is terminated prior to the Stated Expiration Date, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever (other than as a result of an Excluded Termination, solely to the extent that the express terms of the applicable provisions in respect of an Excluded Termination provide for the termination of the Lease in whole or in part, it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that if the Lease is terminated in part as a result of an Excluded Termination, any subsequent termination of the Lease prior to the Stated Expiration Date (other than a further Excluded Termination), in whole or in part, shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Article XXI), other than expressly in writing by Landlord (including a termination of the Lease expressly in writing by Landlord due to a Tenant Lease Event of Default) or with the express written consent of Landlord (in its sole and absolute discretion), including, without limitation, by a rejection in any bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution proceedings (any of the foregoing, a “Non-Consented Lease Termination”), then, unless either (i) Landlord (or, during the continuation of any event of default under any Landlord Financing, any Landlord’s Lender) shall expressly elect otherwise in writing and expressly consent (in its sole and absolute discretion) in writing to the termination of the Lease, or (ii) a New Lease is successfully entered into in accordance with Section 17.1(f) of the Lease, and, in connection therewith, all applicable provisions of the Lease (including Section 22.2(i)(1) through (5) thereof shall have been complied with in all respects), and, without limitation, if the provisions of Section 22.2(i)(1)(A) of the Lease have been complied with, a Replacement Guaranty is made by a Qualified Replacement Guarantor, then the following shall occur without expense or loss of economic benefit to Landlord or any creditor under any Landlord Financing:

105

(i) Tenant (or its successors and assigns) shall transfer all of Tenant’s assets and properties used in or related to the operation of the businesses operated on the Leased Property (including, without limitation, all rights and obligations pursuant to licenses or applicable to any Intellectual Property), subject to all prior arrangements, including, without limitation, any Intellectual Property licenses or sublicenses, to a replacement Entity identified by Lease Guarantor that is directly or indirectly owned and Controlled by Lease Guarantor or Tenant (or its successors and assigns) and that is approved by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) that will assume the rights and obligations of Tenant under the Lease (such Entity, the “Replacement Tenant”) (and, upon Tenant’s (or its successor or assign, as applicable) request in writing, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to effect such transfer, to the extent reasonably necessary in order to effect such transfer);

(ii) a new lease (the “Replacement Lease”) on terms identical to the Lease as in effect immediately prior to such termination shall be entered into by Landlord with the Replacement Tenant for the remaining term of the Lease;

(iii) to the extent not otherwise transferred pursuant to clause (i) above or otherwise provided by Manager, CEC and Services Co shall replicate all prior arrangements with respect to management, sub-management, licensing, Intellectual Property and otherwise as contemplated by this Agreement and any other applicable Lease/MLSA Related Agreements, and shall take any and all other steps necessary to provide for the continued management and operation of the Managed Facility as existed immediately prior to such termination.

21.1.2 Upon such occurrence of the foregoing clauses 21.1.1(i), (ii), and (iii) (collectively, the “Replacement Structure”), (x) Lease Guarantor, Manager, Replacement Tenant and Landlord shall enter into a new management and lease support agreement on terms identical to this Agreement as in effect immediately prior to such termination (and Lease Guarantor, Manager and their respective applicable Affiliates shall enter into any necessary associated sub-management, licensing and other applicable arrangements) (collectively, the “Replacement MLSA”), it being understood that Replacement Tenant shall be the “Tenant” under the Replacement MLSA for all purposes, (y) the management rights and obligations of Manager and guaranty obligations and liabilities of Lease Guarantor shall continue under such Replacement MLSA with respect to such Replacement Lease on terms identical to this Agreement as in effect immediately prior to such termination (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that, notwithstanding any such termination, Lease Guarantor shall be liable for any and all Guaranteed Obligations existing or arising under this Agreement prior to effectuation of the Replacement Structure and such Replacement MLSA on the terms contemplated herein) and (z) upon the effectuation of the Replacement Structure and the execution and effectiveness of such Replacement MLSA, the termination of this Agreement under Section 16.2 (without a Termination for Cause) and the Guarantee Release Date under this Agreement shall each be deemed to have occurred.

21.2 Termination of MLSA or other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements to the contrary (and without vitiating, limiting or superseding any of Section 1.3, Section 17.3.5.6, Section 17.4.5 or Section 21.1 hereof in any respect), in the event this Agreement (or any portion of it) is terminated, in whole or in part, for any reason

106

whatsoever, including, without limitation, by a rejection in any bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution proceedings, other than as expressly permitted by Article XVI or as provided for in Section 17.3.5 hereof, other than expressly in writing by or with the express written consent of Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, then, unless Landlord (or, during the continuation of any event of default under any Landlord Financing, any Landlord’s Lender) shall expressly elect otherwise in writing and expressly consent in writing (in its sole and absolute discretion) to the termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall, without expense or loss of economic benefit to Landlord or any creditor under any Landlord Financing, implement the Replacement Structure (or any applicable aspects thereof) described in Section 21.1 herein, as necessary to replicate all prior arrangements with respect to management, sub-management, licensing, Intellectual Property and otherwise as contemplated by this Agreement, including the guaranty obligations and liabilities of Lease Guarantor on terms identical to this Agreement as in effect immediately prior to such termination (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that, notwithstanding any such termination of this Agreement, Lease Guarantor shall be liable for any and all Guaranteed Obligations existing or arising prior to the effectuation of the Replacement Structure, or any applicable aspects thereof, and such Replacement MLSA, as and to the extent set forth in Article XVII).

21.3 Replacement Structure Fails to Occur. If (a) the Replacement Structure is required to be implemented pursuant to Section 21.1 or Section 21.2, (b) Landlord (or, during the continuation of an event of default under any Landlord Financing, any Landlord’s Lender) has not expressly elected in writing (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the Replacement Structure shall not occur and (c) the Replacement Structure does not occur (other than as a direct and proximate result of Landlord’s or, during the continuation of an event of default under any Landlord Financing, any Landlord’s Lender’s acts or failure to act in accordance with this Article XXI), then Lease Guarantor’s Lease Guaranty shall not terminate or be released or reduced in any respect, and shall continue unabated, in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement as a result of the Non-Consented Lease Termination. If Landlord (or, during the continuation of an event of default under any Landlord Financing, any Landlord’s Lender) elects in writing (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the Replacement Structure shall not occur, or if the Replacement Structure does not occur as a direct and proximate result of Landlord’s acts or failure to act in accordance with this Article XXI, then Landlord and the creditors under each Landlord Financing shall be deemed to have expressly consented to the termination of the Lease and/or this Agreement in writing (and the Guarantee Release Date under this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred in accordance with Section 17.3.5).

21.4 Enforcement. Without limitation of any other rights and remedies of any Party under this Agreement, the Parties agree that (i) Landlord shall have the right of specific performance to compel Lease Guarantor or its Affiliates, as applicable, to comply with this Article XXI, (ii) Lease Guarantor, Manager and Landlord shall have the right of specific performance to compel Tenant (or its successors and assigns) to comply with this Article XXI, and (iii) if Tenant (or its successors and assigns) does not cooperate with the foregoing, Lease Guarantor and Manager shall have the right to take

107

such steps as they determine to be necessary to effect the Replacement Structure or as they shall determine to be comparable to such actions, including determining the ownership and identity of the Replacement Tenant (and including such other actions as may be necessary in order to implement Section 21.2 hereof, as applicable), without regard to the interests of Tenant or its successors and assigns.

21.5 Survival. This Article XXI shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
