ARTICLE I
CONSTRUCTION OF THE VENETIAN
1. Third Party Warranties/Liquidated Damages.
(a) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 1(a) of Article I, the Owners acknowledge and agree that all Third Party Warranties shall, to the extent separately enforceable by a particular Owner with respect to improvements within its Lot, belong to such Owner and shall be enforceable by that Owner. To the extent that a particular Third Party Warranty pertains to improvements in more than one Lot, and cannot be separately assigned, the Owner possessing rights to enforce such Third Party Warranty (the "THIRD PARTY WARRANTY OWNER") shall take such steps as any other Owner whose property is benefited by such Third Party Warranty (a "REQUESTING WARRANTY OWNER") from time to time reasonably may request in order to permit the Requesting Warranty Owner to receive the benefits thereof, so long as the Requesting Warranty Owner reimburses the Third Party Warranty Owner for all reasonable costs associated therewith (to the extent fairly allocable to the requests made by the Requesting Warranty Owner) and otherwise takes steps reasonably requested by the Third Party Warranty Owner to assure that the Third Party Warranty Owner shall not be exposed to unreimbursed liability as a consequence of taking the steps requested by the Requesting Warranty Owner. In all events, all Liquidated Damages received or collected pursuant to or as a result of the Construction Litigation or any arbitration, litigation, settlement or judgment related thereto or in connection therewith shall be paid to, retained by and are for the benefit of H/C I Owner only, and H/C I Owner shall be deemed the Requesting Warranty Owner for all third Party Warranties that are a part of or are asserted in the Construction Litigation and any related litigation or arbitration.
3
(b) All Liquidated Damages shall be apportioned between the applicable Owners in an equitable manner (subject to the last sentence of Section 1(a) of this Article I above). If such Owner shall be unable to agree on the equitable apportionment of any Liquidated Damages, such Owners shall engage an Independent Expert to determine such apportionment pursuant to the provisions of Section 16 of Article XIV.
2. Shared Phase II Facilities. The Phase IA Conference Center will share with H/C II Owner certain facilities in the improvements of which the Phase IA Conference Center constitutes the second floor (the "SHARED PHASE II FACILITIES"). So long as the Shared Phase II Facilities exist, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) H/C II Owner hereby grants to H/C I Owner perpetual, irrevocable easements to enter on or into such portion of the H/C II Space to gain access to the Phase IA Conference Center and the Shared Phase II Facilities, the improvements located therein and any and all fixtures, fittings, equipment and building systems located therein for the operation, use, enjoyment, maintenance, repair or restoration of or to the same (but for no other reason or purpose). H/C I Owner, in exercising its rights under this subsection 2(a) of Article I, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the maintenance, use and operation of the H/C II Space and H/C II Owner's business at the same.
(b) H/C II Owner may relocate any easements under subsection 2(a) of Article I on its parcel at its sole cost and expense provided that such relocation: (1) does not cause any interruption in the utilization of the easement by the Owner of the dominant tenement for the affected easement (except de minimus interruptions, as to degree or time, which shall be scheduled by agreement with the Owner of the dominant tenement for the affected easement); (2) does not diminish the capacity or efficiency of such easement (excepting de minimus effects); and (3) will not interfere (except to a de minimus extent) with the maintenance, use or operation of the dominant tenement or the conduct of its Owner's business thereat.
(c) H/C I Owner and H/C II Owner hereby grant to each other non-exclusive easements in the Phase IA Airspace and the H/C II Space substantially equivalent to the easements granted by H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner for (i) Utility Activity as set forth in subsections C2 and C3 of Article II, (ii) ingress, egress and access through any shared pass-throughs or common areas as set forth in subsections D1 and D2 of Article II, (iii) maintenance and repair as set forth in subsection D3 of Article II; (iv) emergency access as set forth in Section D5 of Article II; and (v) vertical and lateral support as set forth in Section D6 of Article II.
3. Encroachments. Each of H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner further agree, for the benefit of the other, as follows:
(a) Notwithstanding the description of the Mall I Space set forth on EXHIBIT F, H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner acknowledge that: (i) the H/C I Space may encroach to some extent into a portion of the Mall I Space (any such encroachment referred to herein as the "H/C I ENCROACHMENT"); and (ii) the Mall I Space may encroach to some extent into a portion of the H/C I Space (any such encroachment referred to herein as the "MALL I ENCROACHMENT," and together with the H/C I Encroachment, the "ENCROACHMENTS"). H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner agree and consent to the Encroachments and grant to each other easements ("ENCROACHMENT EASEMENTS") over those portions of the H/C I Space and the Mall I Space for which such Encroachments exist.
(b) H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner shall each use their diligent efforts to, and shall cooperate with each other to, obtain an "ALTA" survey confirming the lot lines for the H/C I Space and the Mall I Space. Upon receipt of such survey, H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner shall, as appropriate, either (i) elect, if said survey shows no actual encroachments, to terminate this Section 3 by joint written notice to the Parties, (ii) as necessary, modify the legal descriptions of the H/C I Space and the Mall I
4
Space in order to reflect the correct lot lines for the H/C I Space and the Mall I Space as depicted by such survey and immediately thereafter terminate this Section 3 by joint written notice to the Parties or (iii) continue to keep in effect, and modify as appropriate, the H/C I Encroachments, Mall I Encroachments and Encroachment Easements. Additionally, promptly after this Section 3 has been terminated, the Parties hereto shall execute and deliver to each other, and record in the Recorder's Office, an amendment to this Agreement reflecting the termination of the Encroachment Easements, and the other rights, interests, agreements and obligations created or imposed by or under this Section 3.

(b) During the Sempra Term, Sempra shall operate, maintain, repair and restore the HVAC Plant in accordance with the provisions of the Initial ESAs. From and after the expiration of the Sempra Term, the Substitute HVAC Operator shall (i) operate, maintain, repair and restore the HVAC Plant and the HVAC Facilities, and (ii) to the extent not covered pursuant to the property damage insurance required to be carried in accordance with the provisions of Article X, shall procure replacement cost property damage insurance covering the HVAC Plant and the HVAC Facilities and any other insurance equivalent to that which Sempra was required to maintain under the initial ESAs
2. Admission of New Serviced Owners.
(a) Mall I Owner, SECC Owner, H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner and Mall II Owner each agree that H/C I Owner shall admit H/C II Owner and/or Mall II Owner as Serviced Owners upon the request of H/C II Owner and/or Mall II Owner, subject to the following conditions:
(i) The proposed new Serviced Owner shall have delivered to each then existing Serviced Owner the following:
(1) Evidence reasonably satisfactory to such existing Serviced Owner that the admission of H/C II Owner or Mall II Owner, as the case may be, as a Serviced Owner, and the provision of heating, ventilating and air conditioning services to the new Serviced Owner thereafter, shall not reduce or otherwise detrimentally affect the heating, ventilating and air conditioning service required to be provided to any existing Serviced Owner pursuant to the provisions of its Initial ESA in any material respect.
(2) A copy of an ESA executed by the proposed new Serviced Owner and the HVAC Operator, which shall provide in substance that:
(A) The existing Serviced Owners shall not be required to bear any costs associated with servicing the proposed new Serviced Owner in addition to the existing Serviced Owners (including without limitation the cost of improving or upgrading the HVAC Plant or HVAC Facilities);
(B) The ESA entered into by the proposed new Serviced Owner (each, a "NEW SERVICED OWNER ESA") shall have the same Scheduled Termination Date as that applying under the ESAs executed between the HVAC Operator and the then existing Serviced Owners.
(C) From and after admission of a Serviced Owner through the Scheduled Termination Date, the proposed new Serviced Owner shall (subject to Section B(9) of this Article II) bear:
(x) its "Proportionate Share" (as such term is defined in the Owner's Qualifying ESA); and
(y) 100% of any "Other Facilities Capacity Payment" (as such term is defined in the Owner's Qualifying ESA) attributable to any Other Facilities (as such term is defined in the Owner's Qualifying ESA) including any Metering Equipment installed for the benefit of the new Serviced Owner.
8
(D) The New Serviced Owner's ESA shall not have any terms which are materially different from those in the Qualifying ESAs between the HVAC Operator and the then existing Serviced Owners, if the same would interfere with or affect the heating, ventilating and air conditioning service required to be provided to the existing Serviced Owners pursuant to their ESAs (except to a de minimus extent) or result in any additional cost or expense to such Serviced Owners.
(b) Each Serviced Owner agrees that should H/C II Owner or Mall II Owner elect to be admitted as a Serviced Owner as provided above, such Serviced Owner shall permit the new Serviced Owner to lay utility lines connecting the improvements on its Lot to the HVAC Plant; provided that:
(i) Such utility lines shall be located within easements to be granted in connection therewith and with the prior written approval of the burdened Owner; provided that such burdened Owner shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition any such approval to the extent that the desired location of the easement in question does not (1) interfere with the use or operation of the burdened lot and/or the improvements therein (other than to a de minimus extent), (2) adversely affect the value of such space and/or improvements (other than to a de minimus extent) and/or (3) impose any material obligation on the burdened Owner and/or the improvements located on the burdened lot, (other than the granting of the easement in question); in each case, assuming that the space and/or improvements, as applicable, in question are being used for any applicable Permitted Use.
(ii) The rights of the burdened Serviced Owners and the obligations of any new Serviced Owner in connection with the location, maintenance and repair of such new Serviced Owner's utility lines shall be as set forth in Section 7 of the following Part C of this Article II.
3. Extension/Termination of HVAC Operator.
(a) Extension/Termination on Scheduled Termination Date Prior to Material Amortization Date. Prior to any Scheduled Termination Date prior to the Material Amortization Date, H/C I Owner and SECC Owner shall jointly determine, after good-faith consultation with the other Serviced Owners, whether the Serviced Owners should (a) extend the Qualifying ESAs with the then-existing HVAC Operator or (b) terminate the Qualifying ESAs in accordance with their terms and enter into new ESAs with a Substitute HVAC Operator; provided, however that if such new ESAs would be reasonably likely to result in Mall I Owner making payments to the Substitute HVAC Operator in excess of the sum of (x) the payments that would be owed by Mall I Owner to H/C I Owner pursuant to clause (b) of the first sentence of Section B(9) of this Article II if the Qualifying ESAs were not terminated and (y) the payments that would be owed by Mall I Owner to the then-existing HVAC Operator due to Mall I Owner's default under its Qualifying ESA not resulting from a default by H/C I Owner of its obligations under said Section B(9) if the Qualifying ESAs were not terminated or due to ESA Amendments executed on or after the date hereof that were initiated by Mall I Owner's desire to enter into an ESA Amendment, H/C I Owner and SECC Owner shall not so determine to terminate the Qualifying ESAs unless either (1) Mall I Owner consents to such determination or (2) H/C I Owner agrees to be responsible for such excess. If H/C I Owner and SECC Owner do not jointly notify the other Serviced Owners of their determination to extend or terminate the then-existing Qualifying ESAs as of two (2) Business Days prior to the last day that the Serviced Owners have the right, under the Qualifying ESAs, to elect to extend the Qualifying ESAs, or if, pursuant to the preceding sentence, they do not have the right to determine to terminate the then-existing ESAs, then they shall be deemed to have determined pursuant to the preceding sentence that each Serviced Owner should extend its Qualified ESA with the then-existing HVAC Operator. If H/C I Owner and SECC Owner determine, or are deemed to have determined, that the Serviced Owners should extend the Qualifying ESAs in accordance with their terms, then each Serviced Owner shall be obligated to extend its Qualifying ESA (and the Scheduled Termination Date applying thereunder) in accordance with Section 2.5 of such
9
Qualifying ESA. Conversely, if H/C I Owner and SECC Owner determine that the Serviced Owners should terminate the Qualifying ESAs in accordance with their terms and enter into new ESAs with a Substitute HVAC Operator, then:
(i) Each Qualifying ESA with the existing HVAC Operator shall terminate as of the Scheduled Termination Date set forth therein. Unless otherwise agreed by each of the Serviced Owners:
(1) each Serviced Owner shall be responsible for payment of any termination payments due to the existing HVAC Operator under such Owner's Qualifying ESA, and each Serviced Owner shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the other Serviced Owners against any losses, claims, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of any failure to make any such payments; and
(2) H/C I Owner shall succeed to the ownership of all of the HVAC Facilities, except for (a) those HVAC Facilities already owned by another Serviced Owner and (b) any other HVAC Facilities installed for the benefit of a particular Serviced Owner alone, ownership of which shall be transferred to the particular Serviced Owner benefited.
(ii) Each Serviced Owner shall enter into a new ESA with a Substitute HVAC Operator selected by H/C I Owner and SECC Owner after good-faith consultation with the other Serviced Owners, provided that any Substitute HVAC Operator must, in H/C I Owner's and SECC Owner's good-faith judgment, be capable of providing substantially the same quality of service as the HVAC Operator being replaced. So long as the proviso clause of the preceding sentence is complied with, the Substitute HVAC Operator selected by H/C I Owner and SECC Owner may be H/C I Owner itself. The new ESA shall be substantially in the form of the Qualifying ESA which the Serviced Owner had with the prior HVAC Operator except that:
(1) The required periodic payments to be made by each Serviced Owner shall be calculated so as to cover only the incremental expense of procuring the energy services and otherwise shall be equitably allocated among the Serviced Owners taking into account, inter alia, each Serviced Owner's HVAC Plant Percentage (and provided that if the Serviced Owners cannot agree on such equitable allocation, the matter shall be resolved by the Independent Expert); and
(2) Each Owner shall grant appropriate access and other rights to the Substitute HVAC Operator so as to permit the Substitute HVAC Operator to utilize the utility easements granted pursuant to the further provisions of this Agreement and otherwise provide heating, ventilating and air conditioning service to the Serviced Owners in accordance with the provisions of their respective ESAs.
(iii) H/C I Owner shall provide appropriate and commercially reasonable possessory and use rights to permit the Substitute HVAC Operator to use and occupy the HVAC Space together with any buildings and improvements constructed thereon.
(b) Termination in the Event of "Major Default." As more particularly set forth in the Qualifying ESAs, each Owner has the right to terminate its Qualifying ESA in the event of certain HVAC Operator defaults (and subject to certain notice and cure periods). In the event of any such termination, the terminating Serviced Owner shall provide prior written notice of such termination to each of the other Serviced Owners. The Owners further agree as follows with respect to any such termination:
(i) Within fifteen (15) days after the other Serviced Owners' receipt of any such termination notice from a terminating Serviced Owner (or, if the termination is contested by the HVAC Operator, from the date that the other Serviced Owners receive confirmation that any such contest
10
has been resolved and that the termination shall be effective as of a date stated (the "MATERIAL DEFAULT TERMINATION DATE")), the Serviced Owners shall confer in good-faith to agree on a Substitute HVAC Operator reasonably acceptable to each of the Serviced Owners. If the Serviced Owners shall be unable to agree on a Substitute HVAC Operator within thirty (30) days, then H/C I Owner and SECC Owner shall jointly select the Substitute HVAC Operator in accordance with the preceding Section B(3)(a)(ii), which Substitute HVAC Operator shall be responsible for providing heating, ventilating and air conditioning service that is comparable in all material respects to the service required to be provided by the existing HVAC Operator under the existing ESAs. Any increase in the cost of providing such level of service in excess of the cost of providing such level of service by the existing HVAC Operator shall be borne by the Serviced Owner(s) initially electing to terminate the existing HVAC Operator PRO RATA based upon their respective Serviced Owner's HVAC Plant Percentages.
(ii) Effective upon the Material Default Termination Date, each of the Qualifying ESAs shall terminate. Each Serviced Owner shall be responsible for payment of any termination payments due to the terminated HVAC Operator under its ESA, and each Serviced Owner shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless the other Serviced Owners against any losses, claims, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of any failure to make any such payments.
(iii) Effective upon the Material Default Termination Date, each of the Serviced Owners shall enter into a new ESA with the Substitute HVAC Operator selected in accordance with this Section B(3)(b) of Article II substantially in the form of its Qualifying ESA with the prior HVAC Operator, except that:
(1) The required periodic payments to be made by each Serviced Owner shall be calculated so as to cover only the incremental expense of procuring the energy services and otherwise shall be equitably allocated among the Serviced Owners taking into account, INTER ALIA, each Serviced Owner's HVAC Plant Percentage (and provided that if the Serviced Owners cannot agree on such equitable allocation, the matter shall be resolved by the Independent Expert); and
(2) Each Owner shall grant appropriate access and other rights to the Substitute HVAC Operator so as to permit the Substitute HVAC Operator to utilize the utility easements granted pursuant to the further provisions of this Agreement and otherwise provide heating, ventilating and air conditioning service to the Serviced Owners in accordance with the provisions of their respective ESAs.
(iv) If the ESA with Sempra or any Substitute HVAC Operator is terminated and the Serviced Owners enter into new ESAs with a Substitute HVAC Operator (unless the Substitute HVAC Operator is H/C I Owner) in accordance with the terms of this Section 3 of Article II, then H/C I Owner shall provide appropriate and commercially reasonable possessory and use rights to permit the Substitute HVAC Operator to use and occupy the HVAC Space together with any buildings and improvements constructed thereon so long as such Substitute HVAC Operator (a) enters into agreements reasonably satisfactory to H/C I Owner indemnifying H/C I Owner against all losses, claims, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorney's fees) arising out of the actions or inactions of such Substitute HVAC Operator, and (b) obtains insurance coverage substantially similar to that required to be obtained by Sempra under the Initial ESAs.
4. Extension/Termination On or After the Material Amortization Date. On or before the date which shall be eighteen (18) months prior to the Material Amortization Date, H/C I Owner shall submit in writing to the other Serviced Owners a proposed plan (a "REPLACEMENT HVAC PLANT PLAN") for the refurbishment or replacement of the HVAC Plant. The Replacement HVAC Plant Plan shall provide for the furnishing of heating, ventilating and air conditioning services for a commercially
11
reasonable time period from and after the Material Amortization Date which are at least equivalent in all material respects (including, without limitation, quantity and quality) to those services required to be provided by Sempra or any Substitute HVAC Operator, as applicable, immediately prior to such date on financing and payment terms reasonably acceptable to the Serviced Owners, the cost of which each Serviced Owner shall share in proportion to its HVAC Plant Percentage. The Replacement HVAC Plant Plan must be approved by the other Serviced Owners, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; if the parties cannot agree on whether such approval is being properly withheld (taking into account the next sentence), the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions hereof. In all events, a Serviced Owner shall have the right to withhold its approval to a proposed Replacement HVAC Plant Plan if the implementation of the proposed Replacement HVAC Plant Plan will not permit such Serviced Owner to operate its business for its Permitted Use or would unfairly burden such Owner as compared to the other Owners or unfairly benefit any other Owner. The Serviced Owners shall commence the implementation of such Replacement HVAC Plant Plan within thirty (30) days of approval thereof by the Serviced Owners other than H/C I Owner.
5. Termination Other Than by an Owner. If the Qualifying ESAs shall terminate for any reason other than those described in Sections B(3) or B(4) of this Article II, as expeditiously as possible after the termination of the Qualifying ESAs, H/C I Owner shall submit in writing to the other Serviced Owners a proposed Replacement HVAC Plant Plan, and all of the provisions of Section B(4) of this Article II shall apply with respect hereto.
6. Termination of HVAC Ground Lease. H/C I Owner agrees for the benefit of each of the other Serviced Owners that it shall not terminate the HVAC Ground Lease or any other possessory interest granted to the HVAC Operator in accordance with the provisions of this Part B of Article II other than in connection with an election to terminate all of the Qualifying ESAs in accordance with the provisions hereof.
7. Amendment of ESAS. No Serviced Owner shall enter into any amendment, modification, restatement, substitution or replacement (each, a "ESA AMENDMENT") of its ESA with the HVAC Operator which ESA Amendment could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the rights and/or obligations of any other Serviced Owner unless each other Serviced Owner (in its sole discretion) shall enter into an equivalent ESA Amendment.
8. Obligations of Substitute HVAC Operator. The Substitute HVAC Operator shall cause the maintenance, repair and restoration of the HVAC Plant; provided, however that any such HVAC Operator that is an Owner can satisfy its obligations under this Section B(8) by (i) engaging an appropriately experienced and competent third party operator to operate, maintain, repair and restore the HVAC Plant and (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such operator's obligations so to operate, maintain, repair and restore (and replacing such operator with another appropriately experienced and competent third party operator if any such operator fails to perform its obligations) in which event such HVAC Operator shall not be liable to any Owner for consequential damages arising out of such third party's repair, maintenance and/or restoration of the HVAC Plant except to the extent such damages result from such HVAC Operator's negligence or willful misconduct.
9. Payments Under Mall I Owner's ESA. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section B of Article II, during the Sempra Term, (a) H/C I Owner shall be responsible for making all payments under Sections 4.1 and 4.2, and clauses (i)-(iii) of Section 4.5, of Mall I Owner's ESA, excluding payments due to Mall I Owner's default thereunder not resulting from a default by H/C I Owner of its obligations under this Section B(9) and also excluding payments due under or pursuant to ESA Amendments executed on or after the date hereof that were initiated by Mall I Owner's desire to enter into an ESA Amendment; (b) Mall I Owner shall be obligated to make certain payments to H/C I Owner on account of the HVAC Plant and HVAC Facilities, pursuant to and as set forth in more detail in Section 3 of Article V hereof and Schedule II attached hereto and made a part hereof and
12
(c) H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Sempra to send all invoices for amounts covered by clause (i) of this sentence, or copies thereof, to H/C I Owner. In the event that, notwithstanding such efforts, Sempra sends any such invoices to Mall I Owner only, Mall I Owner shall promptly deliver them to H/C I Owner.

(a) Each Owner of a servient tenement may relocate any utility easement on its parcel at its sole cost and expense provided that such relocation: (1) does not cause any interruption in the utilization of the utility easement by the Owner of the dominant tenement for the affected easement (except de minimus interruptions, as to degree or time, which shall be scheduled by agreement with the Owner of the dominant tenement for the affected easement); (2) does not diminish the capacity or efficiency of such utility easement (excepting de minimus effects); and (3) will not make it more difficult or more expensive for the Owner of the dominant tenement with respect to the utility easement to use, maintain, repair, or replace the utility lines, unless, in the case of increased expense, the Owner of a servient tenement, at the time of such adverse relocation, agrees to bear any future additional costs arising from such relocation.
(b) The cost and expense of Utility Activity in connection with Utility Equipment (to the extent not borne by a public or private utility company) shall be borne entirely by the Party whose parcel benefits thereby or, if more than one Party's parcel benefits thereby, such cost and expense shall be allocated between the Parties so benefited in such manner as at the time shall be equitable in the circumstances. Any costs borne by the burdened Party with respect to any Utility Activity shall be reimbursed by the benefited Party. Before any such Utility Activity (other than Utility Activity which is operation, flow, passage or use) in connection with any Utility Equipment is effectuated, the Party conducting the same shall give reasonable prior notice to the other affected Parties, except in any case where the giving of reasonable prior notice is not practicable under the circumstances (but notice shall nevertheless be given as soon as practicable), and the Party conducting the same shall have received the consent of such affected Parties (except in any case where the giving of reasonable prior notice was not practicable under the circumstances (but consent shall nevertheless be confirmed as soon as practicable)). The Party conducting the same shall, in performing any such work, use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the Utility Equipment of the other Parties and the use, enjoyment and operations of such other Parties' land and the improvements thereon; provided that the failure to give any such notice or receive any such consent shall not constitute a default hereunder or require the aforesaid Party to demolish or remove any portion of its Utility Equipment.
(c) The Party whose parcel is benefited by a utility easement shall maintain, repair, restore and replace all Utility Equipment related to the easement that is located on the burdened Party's parcel.
(d) In the event a Party whose parcel is benefited by a utility easement shall fail to maintain, repair, restore or replace any utility lines located on a burdened Party's parcel in accordance with the provisions of this Part C, Section 7 of Article II, such burdened Party may, after reasonable notice to the defaulting benefited Party, except in any case where the giving of reasonable prior notice is not practicable under the circumstances (but notice shall nevertheless be given as soon as practicable), cure such default at the defaulting Party's expense, in which event the provisions of Sections 10(a) and 10(b) of Article XIV shall apply.
15
(e) The Parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to all Utility Activity in connection with Utility Equipment including, without limitation, the granting of easements in their respective parcels to public or private utilities in order to permit such utilities to bring their services to such parcels.

No use of such license pursuant to clause (3) of the preceding sentence shall impose, or be deemed to impose, any liability on H/C I Owner (or any affiliate thereof) with respect to the applicable material, product, good or item. H/C I Owner reserves the right to replace, alter or modify the Venetian Logo at any time in its sole discretion, but upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Mall I Owner. Upon any such notification from H/C I Owner to Mall I Owner, Mall I Owner shall, as of the effective date of the applicable change as set forth in such notice, cease, and cause Mall I Occupants to cease, using the old Venetian Logo (but shall continue to have the rights set forth herein with respect to the replacement, altered or modified Venetian Logo).

(iv) Mall I Owner acknowledges that subject to the license granted herein, H/C I Owner owns all legal right, title and interest in and to the Venetian Names and the Venetian Logo.

(i) Mall I Owner hereby grants to H/C I Owner a non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as hereinafter provided), irrevocable, perpetual and royalty-free worldwide license, without charge or fee, to use and display the "Grand Canal Shoppes" name ("the "GRAND CANAL SHOPPES NAME") and the logo shown on EXHIBIT U attached hereto and made a part hereof (as the same may be changed as described below) (the "GRAND CANAL SHOPPES LOGO"); provided, however that all uses of the Grand Canal Shoppes Name and the Grand Canal Shoppes Logo must be (1) consistent with a First-class Las Vegas Boulevard-style hotel and casino and (2) consistent with the style guidelines described in EXHIBIT R attached hereto and made a part hereof, as the same may be amended from time to time by Mall I Owner and H/C I Owner. Mall I Owner reserves the right to replace, alter or modify the Grand Canal Shoppes Logo at any time in its sole discretion, but upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to H/C I Owner.

If any Lease entered into by H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner, H/C II Owner or Mall II Owner after the date hereof contains such a provision, the other Owners shall, subject to the provisions of the XXXXX in the case of Mall I Owner and Mall II Owner, have no obligation to comply with such provision.

If such examination discloses that H/C I Owner has overstated Mall I Owner's actual Common Area Charge Obligations or SECC Owner's actual Common Area Charge Obligations, as the case may be, then H/C I Owner shall promptly refund the overpayment to Mall I Owner or SECC Owner, as the case may be, and if the overpayment is more than three percent (3%) of the amount such Owner should have paid, H/C I Owner shall also pay the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of such Owner's examination and interest on the overpayment at the Interest Rate from the date such Owner overpaid H/C I Owner until such Owner receives such refund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either the SECC or the H/C I Space is not open to the public but is in the process of having Permitted Maintenance therein, and the other of the SECC or the H/C I Space is not open for business to the public, then Mall I Owner need not during such Permitted Maintenance, keep the public entrances to the Mall I Pass-through Areas open to the general public.

All of said repairs and any restorations or replacements required in connection therewith shall be of a quality and class equal to the original work or installation and shall be done in a good and
34
workmanlike manner. All work undertaken by Mall I Owner pursuant to this Section 5, shall be performed in accordance with Sections 7 through 10 of this Article V.

6. No Obstructions to Mall I Pass-Through Areas. Except to the extent that temporary construction barricades are reasonably required by Mall I Owner to perform work in and maintain the Mall I Pass-through Areas and the Mall I Limited Common Areas in accordance with the terms hereof and such barricades do not interfere with the use of the H/C Pass-through Areas or the Phase I Hotel/Casino or the SECC except to the minimal extent necessary to permit Mall I Owner to perform its obligations with respect to such space, no fence, barricade or other obstruction shall be placed, kept, permitted or maintained on the Mall I Pass-through Areas and the Mall I Limited Common Areas which will interfere with the intended uses thereof.

Either Owner may make (or allow any Tenant to make) any Alteration which singularly or together with related work is not a Material Alteration without the other Owner's or any Mortgagee's consent in accordance with the further provisions of this Article V and as is otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement. Together with each request for approval of a Material Alteration, the requesting Owner shall present to the non-requesting Owner and the Mortgagee of each of H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner (and SECC Owner and the Mortgagee of SECC Owner with respect to a Material Alteration affecting the Electric Substation and/or the HVAC Plant) for its approval plans and specifications for such work prepared by an Architect. An Owner's or any Mortgagee's approval of any Material Alteration shall not constitute any assumption of any
35
responsibility or liability by such Owner or Mortgagee for the accuracy or sufficiency of the applicable plans and specifications and the requesting Owner shall be solely responsible for such items and shall be liable for any damage resulting therefrom. The requesting Owner shall reimburse its Mortgagees, the non-requesting Owner and its Mortgagee (and SECC Owner and the Mortgagee of SECC Owner with respect to a Material Alteration affecting the Electric Substation and/or the HVAC Plant) upon receipt of invoices for the non-requesting Owner's and its Mortgagee's actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with any review of any plans and specifications in accordance with this Section 7(d), including architect's and engineer's fees and costs. Upon reasonable prior notice and during mutually convenient hours, the non-requesting Owner and/or the Mortgagee of each of H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner (and the SECC Owner and the Mortgagee of SECC Owner with respect to a Material Alteration affecting the Electric Substation and/or the HVAC Plant) may inspect Material Alterations from time to time in order to assure itself that such work is being carried on in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, provided that such inspection does not unreasonably interfere with the continuance and completion of the Material Alterations, and provided further that the failure of an Owner or any Mortgagee to inspect such work (or, if such work is inspected, the results or findings of such inspection) shall not in and of itself be considered a waiver of any right accruing to such Owner or Mortgagee upon any failure of the requesting Owner to perform such work in accordance with this Agreement. In undertaking any activities described in, and performing its obligations under, this Article V, each Owner shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference (including, without limitation, interference due to closure) with the maintenance, use and operation of the Phase I Mall, the Phase I Hotel/Casino, and the SECC.
8. Alteration Requirements. H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner each covenants and agrees for the benefit of the other that no Alterations to their respective Lots and/or any buildings or improvements located thereon or therein will be made except in compliance with this Article V, and hereby covenants that it will comply with each and all of the following provisions:
(a) All Alterations shall be made (1) with commercially reasonable diligence and dispatch in a First-class manner with First-class materials and workmanship, architecturally consistent in style with the existing improvements, (2) in accordance with the applicable requirements set forth for H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner in Article IV herein and (3) in such a manner as will not interfere (other than to a de minimus extent) with the use, occupancy, maintenance or operation of the Base Building, the Phase I Hotel/Casino or the Phase I Mall or any of the businesses conducted thereat.
(b) Before any Alterations are begun, the Owner performing or causing such Alteration to be performed shall obtain, at its own sole cost and expense, all licenses, permits, approvals and authorizations in connection with any such Alterations required by any Governmental Authorities. Upon any Owner's request, the other Owner shall join in the application for such licenses, permits, approvals and authorizations whenever such action is necessary, and the requesting Owner covenants that the non-requesting Owner will not suffer, sustain or incur any cost, expense or liability by reason thereof. All Material Alterations shall be made under the supervision of an Architect.
(c) All Alterations shall be made in compliance and conformity with all applicable Legal Requirements.
(d) In making any Alteration, the Owner performing or causing such Alteration to be performed shall not violate (a) the terms or conditions of any insurance policy affecting or relating to the Venetian (including, without limitation, any insurance policy in respect of the entire Base Building), or (b) the terms of any covenants, restrictions or easements affecting the Venetian.
(e) No Alterations shall create any encroachment upon any street or upon any other portion of the Venetian.
36
(f) All contractors performing any Alteration shall be required to abide by the Contractor Safety Permit Process described on EXHIBIT P attached hereto and made a part hereof.

10. Payment of Other Owner's Expenses. In connection with the making of any Material Alterations, the Owner performing such Material Alterations shall pay the other Owner's reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

(f) only if alcohol is served or sold in the applicable leased space, liquor legal liability insurance with a minimum limit of $1,000,000 each common cause/occurrence; and
(g) umbrella/excess insurance of not less than $1 million if the applicable leased space is not for restaurant use and is less than 2,000 square feet and $10 million in all other cases, over and above the coverage described in clauses (c) - (f) of this paragraph (ix).
All such insurance, except for workers' compensation insurance, supplied by the parties shall be primary as respects insurance provided by H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner and shall waive rights of subrogation against H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner. All third party liability coverage maintained by Tenants and independent contractors engaged by an Owner shall add Trustee, H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner and SECC Owner and their respective Mortgagees as additional insureds. Each Tenant shall supply satisfactory evidence of insurance to H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner and Trustee and SECC Owner (if it elects to maintain insurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(b) hereof).
3. General Conditions.
(a) All insurance required under this Agreement to be carried by H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and SECC Owner (if the provisions of Section 10 shall be applicable) shall (1) except to the extent paragraph 3(b) below of this Article X applies, be effected under valid and enforceable policies acceptable in form and substance to Trustee and shall name Trustee, H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner, SECC Owner and each of their respective Mortgagees as additional insureds, as their interests may appear; and (2) be issued by insurers rated "A-" or better with a minimum size rating of "VIII" by Best's Insurance Guide and Key Ratings ("BEST'S") (or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized insurance rating agency of similar standing if Best's shall no longer be published).
(b) All property, boiler & machinery and business interruption insurance coverage shall be on such form as shall be approved by the Mortgagees of H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and SECC Owner (if it elects to maintain insurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(b) hereof), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided a Commercially Reasonable Owner of the Phase I Hotel/Casino or the Phase I Mall, as applicable, would so consent and same would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such property, Owner or Mortgagee.
(c) H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner shall submit certified copies of all policies received pursuant to the requirements of this Article X, for review and approval to the Mortgagees of H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and SECC Owner (if it elects to maintain insurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(b) hereof), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided a Commercially Reasonable Owner of the Phase I Hotel/Casino, the Phase I Mall or SECC, as applicable, would so approve and same would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such property, Owner or Mortgagee.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein contained, Mall I Owner may elect by notice to H/C I Owner to obtain on its own behalf any of the required insurance coverages set forth in this Article X, in which event (i) each such Owner shall pay for its own such insurance and the cost thereof shall not be shared, (ii) Mall I Owner shall provide H/C I Owner and its Mortgagees, upon request and in all events not less than once every 12 months, with reasonably satisfactory evidence of such coverage and (iii) each
51
such Owner (and SECC Owner if it elects to maintain insurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 of this Article X) shall promptly agree on the appropriate insurance requirements for Mall I Owner on the one hand, and H/C I Owner (and SECC Owner, if applicable) on the other hand, such that the insurance coverage provided by the separate policies maintained by each is substantially equivalent to the coverage that would have been required to be maintained by H/C I Owner for the benefit of itself (and SECC Owner if applicable) and Mall I Owner if Mall I Owner had not made such election. If the parties cannot so agree, then the matter shall be resolved by an Independent insurance consultant selected by H/C I Owner and reasonably satisfactory to Mall I Owner.
4. Named Insureds.
(a) All liability policies where Trustee and/or the Mortgagee of the SECC have an insurable interest shall insure the interests of the Mortgagees of the Phase I Hotel/Casino, the Phase I Mall and the SECC Owner (if it elects to maintain insurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(b) hereof) as well as H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and SECC Owner (if it elects to maintain insurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(b) hereof) and shall name Trustee and such Mortgagees and the Mortgagee of the SECC as additional insureds (unless Trustee and the Mortgagee of the SECC are named insureds under the policy). All policies covering real or personal property or business interruption shall name Trustee with respect to the Phase I Hotel/Casino and the Phase I Mall and the Mortgagee of the SECC with respect to the SECC as additional insured (in the case of the Mortgagee of the SECC only) and First Loss Payee/Mortgagee in accordance with CP12 18 (06/95) or equivalent Lender's Loss Payable Endorsement, and shall provide that any payment thereunder for any loss or damage with respect to the Venetian shall be made to Trustee or with respect to the SECC to the Mortgagee of the SECC as their interests may appear. In the event the interests of more than one Owner are insured under a blanket policy, each of Trustee and the Mortgagee of the SECC shall be named as Loss Payee/Mortgagee as set forth above and shall be protected to the extent of its interest, having available the values declared under the blanket policy for its security. In the event the HVAC Plant is insured under a blanket policy with the Phase I Casino/Hotel and the Phase I Mall, such blanket policy may contain loss payee provisions in favor of the owner of the HVAC Plant.
(b) Each policy required to be maintained under this Article X shall provide that such insurance may not be canceled, terminated or materially changed for any reason whatsoever, unless the insurance carrier delivers thirty (30) days (or ten (10) days in connection with a notice of nonpayment of premium) notice of such cancellation, termination or material change to the respective Mortgagees of the Phase I Hotel/Casino, the Phase I Mall and the SECC as well as H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner, SECC Owner and Trustee.
5. Trustee's Rights to Adjust Losses. In case of any Casualty with respect to the Phase I Hotel/Casino and/or Phase I Mall (or any portion thereof), H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and Trustee shall jointly settle, compromise and adjust any claim; provided that, with respect to any loss not in excess of $1,500,000 (as set forth in the applicable certificate prepared by an Independent Expert), H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as the case may be, may agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss without obtaining the consent of Trustee, Trustee shall pay over to H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as the case may be, the applicable insurance proceeds upon receipt therefor by Trustee and H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as applicable, shall use such insurance proceeds to perform a restoration in accordance with the provisions of Article XI; provided further that, if, at the time of any Casualty, or at any time during the settlement, compromise or adjustment process with respect to any Casualty, an event of default under any affected Mortgagee's loan documents shall exist, then Trustee shall not be required to pay over the applicable insurance proceeds to H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as the case may be, Trustee (acting in accordance with the written directions of such affected Mortgagee(s)) may settle, compromise and/or adjust any claim, as it sees fit in its sole discretion, without the participation or consent of H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as the case may be, and the insurance proceeds shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Article XI hereof.
52
Furthermore, if any claim shall not have been settled, compromised or adjusted or the applicable insurance proceeds shall not have been paid to Trustee, in any case, within twelve (12) months after the Casualty in question occurred or such additional time as may be reasonably necessary given the circumstances, then Trustee (acting in accordance with the written directions of any affected Mortgagee(s)), may settle, compromise and/or adjust such claim, as it sees fit in its sole discretion, without the participation or consent of H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as the case may be, and the insurance proceeds shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Article XI hereof. Wherever this document refers to the Trustee adjusting, settling or compromising, the Trustee shall do so at the direction of the affected Mortgagee(s); if the affected Mortgagees cannot agree as to any decision regarding any actual or proposed adjustment, settlement or compromise within sixty (60) days, then the decision in question shall be made by an Independent Expert selected by such Mortgagees.
6. Mortgagee's Right to Cure. On or before December 30th of each year during the Term or upon request (but not more than once in any twelve (12) month period), H/C I Owner shall furnish to Trustee and each other Owner, with a copy for each Mortgagee, a certificate signed by an officer of H/C I Owner or an authorized insurance representative of H/C I Owner, showing the insurance then maintained by or on behalf of H/C I Owner under this Article X and stating that such insurance complies in all material aspects with the terms hereof, together with a statement from the applicable insurance companies of the premiums then due, if any. If at any time the insurance required under this Article X shall be reduced or cease to be maintained, then (without limiting the rights of Trustee and/or any Mortgagee hereunder in respect of any event of default which arises as a result of such failure), Trustee at the direction of the Mortgagees of the H/C I Space and the Mall I Space and/or the Mortgagee of the SECC (if the SECC Owner elects to maintain insurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(b) hereof) may, but shall not be obligated to, maintain the insurance required hereby and, in such event, H/C I Owner or SECC Owner, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Mortgagee of the H/C I Space and/or the Mall I Space and/or the Mortgagee of the SECC upon demand for the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate.
7. Insurance Not Commercially Available. If any insurance (including the limits, coverages, coinsurance waiver or deductibles thereof) required to be maintained under this Article X by H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner, other than insurance required to be maintained by law, shall not be Commercially Available, H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and their respective Mortgagees shall not unreasonably withhold their consent to waive such requirement to the extent maintenance thereof is not so available; provided (i) H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner shall first request any such waiver in writing, which request shall be accompanied by written reports in form and content and prepared by an Independent insurance advisor of recognized national standing reasonably acceptable to Trustee certifying that such insurance is not reasonably available (e.g. obtainable in the insurance marketplace at costs not to exceed 150% of the amount of the prior premiums) and commercially feasible in the commercial insurance market for property of a similar type (collectively, "COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE") (and, in any case where the required amount is not so available, certifying as to the maximum amount which is so available) and setting forth the basis for such conclusions, (ii) at any time after the granting of any such waiver, H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner shall furnish to Trustee within fifteen (15) days after Trustee's request, updates of the prior reports reasonably acceptable to Trustee from such insurance advisor reaffirming such conclusion, and (iii) any such waiver shall be effective only so long as such insurance shall not be Commercially Available, it being understood that the failure of H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner to timely furnish any such updated report shall be conclusive evidence that such waiver is no longer effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article X, any failure to maintain insurance coverage in accordance with any provision of this Article X due to such insurance being commercially unavailable shall not constitute a default hereunder and H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and SECC Owner (if the provisions of Section 10(b) shall apply) shall be in full compliance with such provisions so long as such Owner has complied with the provisions of this Section 7.
53
8. Policies on "Claims-Made" Basis. If any policy is written on a "claims-made" basis and such policy is not to be renewed or the retroactive date of such policy is to be changed, H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner or SECC Owner, as the case may be, shall obtain prior to the expiration date or date change of such policy the broadest basic and supplemental extended reporting period coverage reasonably available in the commercial insurance market for each such policy and shall promptly provide Trustee and/or the Mortgagee of the SECC, as the case may be, with proof that such coverage has been obtained.
9. Insurance Requirements Review. On or before the third (3rd) anniversary of the Commencement Date and on each succeeding three (3) year anniversary thereof, H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and SECC Owner (if SECC Owner shall elect to maintain insurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(b) hereof) (in consultation with the Trustee) shall designate an Independent insurance consultant who shall review the insurance requirements of the Venetian and prepare a report (the "INSURANCE REPORT") setting out its recommendations relating to insurance coverage for the Venetian for the following three (3) years. H/C I Owner shall submit the Insurance Report to H/C I Owner's and Mall I Owner's respective Mortgagees, which, upon approval by H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and SECC Owner (if SECC Owner shall elect to maintain insurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(b) hereof) and their respective Mortgagees (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided a Commercially Reasonable Owner of the Phase I Hotel/Casino or the Phase I Mall, as applicable, would so consent and same would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such property, Owner or Mortgagee) shall, to the extent the recommendations differ from the requirements set forth in this Article X, amend and supersede the applicable provisions of this Article X.
10. SECC Blanket Policy. SECC Owner may maintain property and/or liability insurance coverage with respect to the SECC under a combined policy with H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner, subject to and in accordance with the requirements of Exhibit O and this Article X.
11. Mutual Release; Waiver of Subrogation. Each Party hereby releases and waives for itself, and to the extent legally possible for it to do so, on behalf of its insurer, each of the other Parties and their officers, directors, agents, members, partners, servants and employees from liability for any loss or damage to any or all property (including any resulting loss of time element including business interruption, rents or extra expense) located in or on the H/C I Space, the H/C II Space, the Mall I Space, the Mall II Space, the SECC Land and/or any improvements located in or on any of the foregoing, which loss or damage is of the type said Party is required to insure against by this Article X, irrespective of any negligence on the part of the released Party which may have contributed to or caused such loss or damage. Each Party covenants that it will, if generally available in the insurance industry, obtain for the benefit of each such released Party a waiver of any right of subrogation which the insurer of such Party may acquire against any such Party by virtue of the payment of any such loss covered by such insurance.
12. Insurance Proceeds Held in Trust.
(a) H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner each covenant that with respect to all property insurance required to be maintained under this Article X (including without limitation under Sections 2(A)(iv), (v) or (vi), 2(B)(iv) or (v) or 3(d)), that each policy shall expressly provide that from and after the date hereof, all insurance proceeds shall be paid to the Trustee to be held in trust for the benefit of the Mortgagees and, subject to the provisions of Section 13 and Section 1 of Article XI, paid over by Trustee to H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as the case may be, to be applied to restoration of the Casualty in question in accordance with the provisions of Article XI; provided that in case of any single loss which exceeds $1,500,000, or losses which exceed $6,000,000 in the aggregate, during any consecutive twelve (12) month period, the amount of any such claim(s) shall be jointly compromised, settled or adjusted by H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and the Trustee at the direction of the affected
54
Mortgagee(s). If the affected Mortgagees cannot agree on the amounts of such adjustment within sixty (60) days, such amounts shall be determined by an Independent Expert in accordance with the provisions of Section 16 of Article XIV.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 13 of this Article X, all proceeds of such insurance (excluding the proceeds of any rental value, or use and occupancy insurance) shall be used with all reasonable diligence by the Party entitled to such proceeds under the provisions of this Agreement for rebuilding, repairing or otherwise reconstructing the same, to the extent required pursuant to the provisions of Article XI hereof.
(c) Payment of the proceeds shall be made by the Trustee to the Party entitled to such proceeds, or, at such Party's direction, to its contractor or contractors, as follows:
(i) At the end of each month, or from time to time, as reasonably requested by H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, against the Party's Independent Architect's certificate in form and content reasonably satisfactory or the affected Mortgagee, an amount which shall be that proportion of the total amount held in trust which 90% (or such greater amount as may be reasonably agreed to by the affected Owner(s) and their Mortgagees) of the payments to be made to the contractors or materialmen for work done, material supplied and services rendered during each month or other period bears to the total contract price; provided that at the time of any such progress payment (a) there are no liens against the property by reason of such work which have not been bonded or insured over, and (b) to the extent the aggregate amount of any insurance proceeds shall be less than the amount necessary to restore the affected property, the Party entitled to such proceeds has paid such deficiency out of other funds.
(ii) At the completion of the work, the balance of such proceeds required to complete the payment of such work shall be paid to the Party entitled to such proceeds, or its contractor or contractors, provided that at the time of such payment (a) there are no liens against the property by reason of such work which have not been bonded or insured over, and with respect to the time of payment of any balance remaining to be paid at the completion of the work the period within which a lien may be filed has expired, or proof has been submitted that all costs of work theretofore incurred have been paid, and (b) the Party's Independent Architect shall certify in a certificate, the form and content of which is reasonably satisfactory to the affected Mortgagee, that all required work is completed and proper and of a quality and class of the original work and in accordance with the Plans.
(d) Any insurance proceeds not required to rebuild under Article XI hereof, shall be paid by the Trustee to the Party entitled to such excess proceeds, or its Mortgagee, as their interests may appear.
55
13. Mortgagee Consent to Release of Proceeds. If all or any material portion of the Phase I Hotel/Casino, the Phase I Mall or the SECC shall be damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty (each, a "CASUALTY") the Owner of the property incurring the loss shall notify all Mortgagee(s) within ten (10) Business Days of the occurrence of such Casualty. Each affected Mortgagee shall permit insurance proceeds with respect to any Casualty to be applied to restoration of buildings and/or other improvements on or in the affected Lot in accordance with the provisions of this Article X; provided that such affected Mortgagee shall have received on or before ninety (90) days after the date of the Casualty in question a certificate from an Independent Expert certifying that (x) such Casualty can be restored within one (1) year after the date of delivery of such certificate and (y) the amount of insurance proceeds payable in connection with such Casualty (together with any other funds committed by the affected Owners to be applied to such restoration) shall be sufficient to finance the anticipated cost (including scheduled debt service payments through the anticipated date of completion of the restoration) of such restoration as set forth in such certificate. If the condition set forth in the preceding (x) or the condition set forth in the preceding clause (y) cannot be satisfied with respect to a particular Lot, any affected Mortgagee shall be paid its equitable share (subject to Section 16 of this Article X) as determined by the Independent Expert of insurance proceeds to be applied in accordance with the provisions of its Mortgage.
14. Terrorism Insurance Proceeds.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject in all events to the provisions of Section 15 of this Article X), any insurance proceeds (including proceeds in connection with "business interruption" or similar coverage) payable in connection with a Casualty that is the result of a terrorist act affecting all or any portion of the Phase I Mall, the Phase I Hotel/Casino or the SECC shall be allocated equitably across each of such properties in accordance with the damages suffered by each of the Phase I Mall, the Phase I Hotel/Casino and the SECC; provided, however, that, Trustee shall distribute such proceeds (a) first, to the Mortgagee of Mall I Owner, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $120,000,000, (ii) the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of indebtedness owed to Mall I Owner's Mortgagees, (iii) the sum of (x) the cost of restoring the Phase I Mall and (y) rental income lost by Mall I Owner as a result of such Casualty, to the extent such lost income is covered by the applicable insurance policy or policies and (iv) the total amount of such insurance proceeds, and (b) second, to the Mortgagee of SECC Owner, in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (i) $141,000,000, (ii) the then-outstanding aggregate principal amount of indebtedness owed to SECC Owner's Mortgagees, (iii) the sum of (x) the cost of restoring the SECC and (y) income lost by SECC Owner as a result of such casualty, to the extent such lost income is covered by the applicable insurance policy or policies and (iv) the total amount of such proceeds.
(b) The obligation of the Mortgagees of each of Mall I Owner, H/C I Owner and SECC Owner to restore after a Casualty shall be governed by Section 13 of this Article X and by Article XI.
15. Insurance Coverage for the Benefit of a Single Owner (and its Mortgagees).
(a) The Parties acknowledge and confirm that nothing in this Article X or any other provision of this Agreement is meant to prohibit or restrict any Owner (for purposes of this Section 15, a "PURCHASING OWNER") from obtaining and maintaining, at its sole cost and expense (subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 15), (i) insurance coverage that is in addition (in amount and/or type) to the insurance coverage required to be obtained and maintained under this Article X and (ii) "credit wrap" coverage for such Owner's share of the proceeds of an insurance policy required to be maintained under this Article X (any insurance coverage by the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), "ADDITIONAL COVERAGE"); provided, however that no Owner shall have such right to the extent any desired Additional Coverage adversely affects in any way the ability of the other Owners to either maintain the insurance coverage required under this Article X or collect proceeds with respect thereto, unless the adversely affected Owners and their Mortgagees consent thereto. Additional Coverage may
56
be in the form of an increase in the limit on any insurance coverage required to be maintained under the preceding provisions of this Article X.
(b) The other Owners shall cooperate in good faith with the efforts by a Purchasing Owner to purchase Additional Coverage, such cooperation to include, without limitation, increasing (at the Purchasing Owner's sole cost and expense) the coverage limit on any insurance required to be maintained under the preceding provisions of this Article X and/or allowing itself to be a named insured or additional insured on such policy if necessary for the Purchasing Owner to obtain the desired coverage. As an illustration of the foregoing, on the date hereof Mall I Owner is electing to purchase Additional Coverage by purchasing, on top of the "all-risk" property and business interruption insurance maintained by H/C I Owner pursuant to paragraphs (iv) and (v) of Section 2(A) of this Article X, "all-risk" property and business interruption insurance covering the Venetian with a limit of $300 million, and H/C I Owner will be a named insured on such Additional Coverage. If, pursuant to the foregoing, any non-Purchasing Owner is a named or additional insured with respect to any Additional Coverage (including, without limitation, the Additional Coverage described in the preceding sentence), and as a result receives any insurance proceeds or is a payee on a check from the applicable insurance company, such Owner shall turn over such proceeds to the Purchasing Owner's Mortgagee (or to Purchasing Owner if there is no such Mortgagee), shall endorse over such check to Purchasing Owner's Mortgagee (or to Purchasing Owner if there is no such Mortgagee), and/or shall take all other action necessary to cause all of the applicable proceeds to be paid to Purchasing Owner's Mortgagee (or to Purchasing Owner if there is no such Mortgagee). All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by a non-Purchasing Owner pursuant to this paragraph 15(b) shall be paid for by the Purchasing Owner.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof, if the aggregate limit on the "all-risk" property insurance and business interruption insurance maintained by H/C I Owner pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (iv), and the first two sentences of paragraph (v), of Section 2(A) of this Article X is at any time less than one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) (as said amount shall be appropriately adjusted if at the time SECC Owner is maintaining its own "all risk" property and/or business interruption insurance), and Mall I Owner elects to get Additional Coverage of the type described in the second sentence of paragraph (b) of this Section 15, then (i) each of H/C I Owner and (if applicable) SECC Owner shall, except with respect to such Additional Coverage that increases such limit to an amount in excess of one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000), pay its Insurance Share of such Additional Coverage as if such Additional Coverage was part of the insurance coverage required to be maintained by H/C I Owner pursuant to said paragraphs (iv) and (v) and (ii) all proceeds of such Additional Coverage shall, except with respect to such Additional Coverage that increases such limit to an amount in excess of one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000), be allocated as if it had been obtained by H/C I Owner pursuant to said first sentence of paragraph (iv), and said first two sentences of paragraph (v), of Section 2(A) of this Article X.
(d) The coverage and other requirements, and the rules governing settlement, payment and use of proceeds, set forth in Sections 1 through 14 and 16 of this Article X shall not apply with respect to any Additional Coverage. All Additional Coverage and all proceeds with respect thereto shall solely be for the benefit of the Purchasing Owner and its Mortgagees and in the event that the Trustee shall receive proceeds relating to any Additional Coverage, such amount shall be promptly paid over as the Purchasing Owner's Mortgagee shall direct or (if there is no such Mortgagee) as the Purchasing Owner shall direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the proceeds payable under any Additional Coverage are in excess of the loss suffered by the Purchasing Owner, such excess proceeds shall (after payment to Purchasing Owner or its Mortgagees of proceeds equal to the amount of the loss) be equitably allocated to the other Owners in accordance with the respective losses suffered by each.
(e) Any Purchasing Owner that acquires Additional Coverage shall give each other Owner written notice of such fact, which notice shall designate specified insurance policies or portions thereof as
57
Additional Coverage obtained pursuant to this Section 15 and shall be accompanied by either a copy of the applicable policy or a copy of a certificate of insurance evidencing such policy. Upon receipt of any such notice from a Purchasing Owner, each other Owner shall promptly send Purchasing Owner a written acknowledgement and confirmation that the applicable insurance coverage is Additional Coverage of such Purchasing Owner.
16. Allocation of Proceeds. If there is a "total loss" with respect to any property covered by a property insurance policy maintained under this Article X (excluding Section 15 above), each Owner's percentage share of the proceeds payable under such policy shall, subject to the clauses (a) and (b) of Section 14(a) of this Article X, be equal to such Owner's Insurance Share with respect to the premiums therefor.
ARTICLE XI
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY
1. H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and SECC Owner agree for the benefit of each other that, in case of loss or damage with respect to all or any material portion of the Phase I Mall, the Phase I Hotel/Casino or the SECC or any part thereof by Casualty, the Owner of the affected space will promptly give written notice thereof to the other Parties. In the event of such Casualty:
(a) Phase I Mall. Mall I Owner, whether or not the insurance proceeds made available in connection therewith shall be sufficient for such purpose, shall, in accordance with the further provisions of this Article XI, repair the Phase I Mall with due diligence at its sole cost and expense as nearly as reasonably possible to its condition and aesthetic appeal immediately prior to such Casualty.

All repairs undertaken by Mall I Owner pursuant to this subsection (a) (including any changes Mall I Owner makes in connection with any such repairs) shall be performed in accordance with Sections 7 through 10 of Article V, as well as the further provisions of this Article XI. In the event of a Casualty affecting both the Phase I Mall and the Phase I Hotel/Casino, Mall I Owner's obligations hereunder shall be subject to completion by H/C I Owner of restoration of those portions of the Building Core and Shell necessary to be restored in order for Mall I Owner to fulfill its restoration obligations under this subsection (a).
(b) Phase I Hotel/Casino. H/C I Owner, whether or not the insurance proceeds made available in connection therewith shall be sufficient for such purpose shall, in accordance with the further provisions of this Article XI, repair the Phase I Hotel/Casino with due diligence at its sole cost and expense as nearly as reasonably possible to its condition and aesthetic appeal immediately prior to such Casualty. All repairs undertaken by H/C I Owner pursuant to this subsection (b) (including any changes H/C I Owner makes in connection with any such repairs) shall be performed in accordance with Sections 7 through 10 of Article V and the further provisions of this Article XI.
(c) Casualty Affecting Both the Phase I Hotel/Casino and the Phase I Mall. If a Casualty shall damage all or any part of both the Phase I Hotel/Casino and the Phase I Mall, H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner shall consult with each other and one or more Independent Experts and reasonably agree as to (i) the cost, and property and business interruption insurance, allocation between themselves and method of payment for the proposed restoration, (ii) the time required to effect such restoration, and (iii) the Party who shall perform such restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any casualty involving a loss of greater than $1,500,000 (or multiple losses in any consecutive twelve (12) month period in excess of $6,000,000), such agreement shall be made with the approval of the affected Mortgagee(s) which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and if all affected parties and Mortgagee(s) do not agree within sixty (60) days after receipt of insurance proceeds, as determined by an Independent Expert. If the Parties shall be unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days of the date of such Casualty, either Party may enforce its rights by arbitration
58
pursuant to Article XV. All repairs undertaken by either Party pursuant to this subsection (c) (including any changes such Party makes in connection with any such repairs) shall be performed in accordance with Sections 7 through 10 of Article V and the further provisions of this Article XI. All business interruption insurance, allocated as aforesaid as among the Owners, shall be paid over to the affected Mortgagee(s) to be applied in accordance with the provisions of their Mortgages.
(d) H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner shall cooperate in good-faith to coordinate the work performed by or for each pursuant to the foregoing subsections (a), (b) and (c).
(e) SECC. With respect to the SECC, SECC Owner shall comply with the provisions of EXHIBIT O and the Parties hereby agree that such provisions shall govern.
2. Cost of Restoration; Uninsured Losses.
(a) The cost of restoration of any Casualty affecting the Phase I Hotel/Casino or the Phase I Mall shall be paid first out of available insurance proceeds with respect to such property. To the extent the amount of such insurance proceeds shall be less than the amount necessary to restore the affected Lot(s) (the "INSURANCE PROCEEDS SHORTFALL"), the Parties shall reasonably agree on the amount of each Party's contribution (each, an "INSURANCE SHORTFALL CONTRIBUTION") towards the Insurance Proceeds Shortfall. If the Parties shall be unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days of the date of such Casualty, any Party may enforce its rights to arbitration pursuant to Article XV. Each Party's Insurance Shortfall Contribution shall be payable on demand to the Trustee and shall become a lien on the applicable Owner's Lot, subject to the provisions of Section 10 of Article XIV.
(b) If a Casualty which is not covered by an insurance policy required to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Article X (each, an "UNINSURED LOSS") shall occur, the affected Parties shall reasonably agree on the amount of each such Party's contribution (each, an "UNINSURED LOSS CONTRIBUTION") towards the cost to restore the property affected by such Uninsured Loss, subject to the following Mortgagee consent rights:
(i) With respect to an aggregate Uninsured Loss which is less than $1,500,000.00, no Mortgagee's consent shall be required;
(ii) With respect to an aggregate Uninsured Loss which is equal to or greater than $1,500,000.00 but less than $6,000,000.00, the consent of the affected Mortgagees shall be required; provided, however that until such time as all obligations under the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgage Notes Indenture have been paid in full, the consent of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall be deemed granted if (a) immediately prior to the date of the Uninsured Loss, the Mortgage Notes are rated by Standard & Poor's with a rating of at least CCC+ (or by an equivalent rating from another prominent credit rating agency) and (b) during the 45 days subsequent to the Uninsured Loss, the rating has not been reduced. The condition set forth in clause (b) may be satisfied prior to the end of said forty-five (45) day period through delivery of a certificate from the applicable rating agency providing, in substance, that the rating applicable to the Mortgage Notes will not be reduced after the Uninsured Loss.
(iii) With respect to an aggregate Uninsured Loss equal to or greater than $6,000,000.00, the consent of all affected Mortgagees (other than any Mortgagee that is an Affiliate of any Owner) shall be required.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the occurrence of any Casualty or upon notice from a Taking Authority of a contemplated Taking, if an event of default shall occur and be continuing under any affected Mortgagee's loan documents, then such Mortgagee shall be entitled to make all decisions and take all actions that the Owner that is a party to such loan document would
59
be entitled to make under this Article XI or under Article XII (and such Owner shall not have the right to make any such decisions or take such actions).
ARTICLE XII
CONDEMNATION
1. Taking of Mall I Space. If less than substantially all of the Mall I Space and/or the Phase I Mall Is permanently taken by any public or quasi-public authority, or private entity or individual (each, a "TAKING AUTHORITY") having the power of condemnation, under any statute or by right of eminent domain or purchased under threat or in lieu of such taking (collectively, a "TAKING"), then Mall I Owner shall promptly restore the Phase I Mall as nearly as reasonably possible to its condition and aesthetic appeal at the time of the partial Taking less the portion lost in such Taking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mall I Owner may elect to make changes in connection with such restoration, subject to the further provisions of this Section 1. All restorations undertaken by Mall I Owner pursuant to the foregoing shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 7 through 10 of Article V and, in the case of Mall I Owner, the provisions of Article IV. In the event of a Taking affecting both the Phase I Mall and the Phase I Hotel/Casino, Mall I Owner's obligations hereunder shall be subject to completion by H/C I Owner of restoration of those portions of the Building Core and Shell necessary to be restored in order for Mall I Owner to fulfill its restoration obligations under this subsection 1.
2. Taking of H/C I Space. If there is a Taking of less than substantially all of the H/C I Space and/or the Phase I Hotel/Casino, H/C I Owner shall promptly restore the Phase I Hotel/Casino as nearly as reasonably possible to its condition and aesthetic appeal at the time of the partial Taking less the portion lost in such Taking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, H/C I Owner may elect to make changes in connection with such restoration, subject to the further provisions of this Section 2. All restorations undertaken by H/C I Owner pursuant to the foregoing shall be subject to Sections 7 through 10 of Article
3. Taking of H/C I Space and Mall I Space. If there is a Taking of less than substantially all of (i) the H/C I Space and/or the Phase I Hotel/Casino and (ii) the Mall I Space and/or the Phase I Mall, H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner shall consult with each other and one or more Independent Architects and reasonably agree as to (x) the cost allocation between themselves and method of payment for the proposed restoration, (y) the time required to effect such restoration, and (z) the Party who shall perform such restoration. If the Parties shall be unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days of the date either Party first receives notice from any public or quasi-public authority, or private entity or individual having the power of condemnation with respect to such Taking, either Party may cause an equitable determination as to items (x), (y) and/or (z) by arbitration pursuant to Article XV. All restorations undertaken by either Party pursuant to the foregoing shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 7 through 10 of Article V and, in the case of Mall I Owner, the provisions of Article IV.
4. Taking of SECC. If there is a Taking of less than substantially all of the SECC, SECC Owner shall comply with the provisions set forth in EXHIBIT O, and the Parties hereby agree that such provisions shall govern.
5. Division of Proceeds. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Owners and each Owner's respective Mortgagee when it becomes aware of any potential or threatened Taking of all or any part of any Lot and shall promptly deliver to the others copies of all notices received in connection therewith. H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and SECC Owner shall each have the right to represent its respective interest in each proceeding or negotiation with respect to a Taking or intended Taking and to make full proof of its claims, and each Mortgagee of such Owner to the extent permitted under such Mortgagee's loan documents shall have the right to appear in and prosecute in its own or in such Owner's name any proceeding or negotiation with respect to such Taking or intended Taking. No agreement, settlement,
60
sale, or transfer to or with the condemning authority with respect to any Taking or intended Taking the aggregate proceeds of which shall be in excess of $1,500,000 shall be made without the consent of H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner and their respective Mortgagees, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided a Commercially Reasonable Owner of the Phase I Hotel/Casino or the Phase I Mall, as applicable, would so consent and same would not have a Material Adverse Effect on such property, Owner or Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, the proceeds of any aggregate condemnation award (other than with respect to the SECC or the SECC Land) in excess of $1,500,000 shall be paid to the Trustee to be held and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 of Article X. With respect to a Taking of all or any part of either the Mall I Space and/or the Phase I Mall or the H/C I Space and/or the Phase I Hotel/Casino, if the condemning authority does not, as part of the Taking proceeding, determine the amount of condemnation proceeds payable to H/C I Owner, and the amount of condemnation proceeds payable to Mall I Owner, but rather makes a determination only as to the aggregate amount of proceeds payable to H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner in connection with the Taking, each of H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner shall receive its appropriate equitable share of such proceeds, as reasonably agreed to by H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner. H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner shall, in all of their discussions and negotiations with the condemning authority, argue for the awarding of separate Taking proceeds payable to each in accordance with the foregoing.
6. Temporary Use or Occupancy. If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Venetian or the SECC shall be condemned or taken for any public or quasi-public use or purpose during the Term, this Agreement and the Term shall be and remain unaffected by such condemnation or taking and each Party shall continue to be responsible for all of its obligations hereunder (except to the extent prevented from so doing by reason of such condemnation or taking). In such event, however the affected Party shall be entitled to appear, claim, prove and receive the entire award in connection with such temporary taking. If such temporary use or occupancy terminates prior to the Expiration Date, the affected Party, at its own expense, shall restore its premises as nearly as possible to its condition prior to the condemnation or taking.
7. Disputes Between H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner. With respect to a Taking of all or any part of the H/C I Space and/or any improvements located thereon or therein or the Mall I Space and/or any improvements located thereon or therein, any dispute between H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner as to the appropriate sharing of any taking proceeds to be received by each in accordance with the fourth sentence of Section 5 of this Article XII shall be resolved by determination of the Independent Expert in accordance with Section 16 of Article XIV, which shall be the exclusive and binding method for the resolution of any such dispute. H/C I Owner and Mall I Owner each agree to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the other any instruments that may be required to effectuate or facilitate the provisions of this Agreement relating to the matters set forth in this Section 7.
8. Trustee's Rights to Participate in Proceedings, Jointly Settle or Compromise. In case of any contemplated Taking with respect to the Phase I Hotel/Casino, H/C I Space, Phase I Mall, and/or Mall I Space (or any portion thereof), H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and Trustee shall jointly participate in any relevant action or proceeding and jointly settle or compromise any award; provided that, with respect to any potential award not in excess of $1,500,000 (as set forth in the notice from the Taking Authority of the contemplated Taking or if the amount of the contemplated award is not set forth therein, then the applicable certificate prepared by an Independent Expert), H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as the case may be, may agree with the Taking Authority on the amount to be paid upon a Taking without obtaining the consent of Trustee, Trustee shall pay over to H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as the case may be, the applicable proceeds of the Taking upon receipt therefor by Trustee and H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as applicable, shall use such proceeds to perform a restoration in accordance with the provisions of Article XII; provided further that, if, at the time of any Taking, or at any time during the relevant action or proceeding with respect to any Taking, an event of default under
61
any affected Mortgagee's loan documents shall have occurred and be continuing, then Trustee shall not be required to pay over the applicable proceeds of the Taking to H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as the case may be, Trustee (acting in accordance with the written directions of such affected Mortgagee(s)) may participate in, settle and/or compromise any award for a Taking, as it sees fit in its sole discretion, without the participation or consent of H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as the case may be, and the proceeds of the Taking shall be paid to the Trustee and applied in accordance with the provisions of Article XII hereof. Furthermore, if any claim shall not have been settled, compromised or adjusted or the applicable condemnation award proceeds shall not have been paid to Trustee, in any case, within twelve (12) months after the Taking in question occurred, then Trustee (acting in accordance with the written directions of any affected Mortgagee(s)), may settle and/or compromise such award, as it sees fit in its sole discretion, without the participation or consent of H/C I Owner and/or Mall I Owner, as the case may be, and the proceeds of the Taking shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Article XII hereof.
9. Mortgagee Consent to Release of Condemnation Award Proceeds. If all or any material portion of the Phase I Hotel/Casino or the Phase I Mall shall be taken pursuant to a Taking, the Owner of the property incurring the loss shall notify all Mortgagee(s) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Taking. Each affected Mortgagee shall permit condemnation award proceeds with respect to any Taking to be applied to restoration of buildings and/or other improvements on or in the affected Lot in accordance with the provisions of this Article XII; provided that such affected Mortgagee shall have received on or before ninety (90) days after the date such Mortgagee's receipt of the notice described above a certificate from an Independent Expert certifying that (x) any restoration of the affected property required as a consequence of such Taking can be completed within one (1) year after the date of delivery of such certificate and (y) the amount of insurance proceeds payable in connection with such Taking (together with any other funds committed by the affected Owner to be applied to such restoration) shall be sufficient to finance the anticipated cost (including scheduled debt service payments through the anticipated date of completion of the restoration) of such restoration as set forth in such certificate. If both of the conditions set forth in the preceding (x) and (y) cannot be satisfied with respect to a particular Lot, any affected Mortgagee shall be paid its equitable share as determined by the Independent Expert of condemnation award proceeds to be applied in accordance with the provisions of its Mortgage and any other loan documents entered into in connection with such Mortgage.
ARTICLE XIII
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
1. Legal Requirements. (a) Each Party, at its expense (but subject to the provisions of Section 3 of Article V and Sections 3 and 5 of Article VII), shall comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to its respective Lot. Any Party may defer compliance with any such Legal Requirements if it shall contest by appropriate proceedings in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) below, prosecuted diligently and in good-faith, the legality or applicability thereof, provided that such deference does not materially adversely interfere with any other Party's use of its Lot as provided under this Agreement. Each Party will also procure, pay for and maintain all permits, licenses and other authorizations needed for the operation of its business.
(b) No Owner shall be in default for failure to comply with any Legal Requirement if, and so long as, (i) such Owner shall diligently and in good-faith contest the same by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the enforcement or collection of the same and the sale of its Lot or any part thereof to satisfy the same; (ii) such Owner shall give its Mortgagee and the other affected Owners and Mortgagees notice of the commencement of such contest, (iii) unless funds are otherwise reserved or deposited with the applicable Governmental Authority, such Owner shall furnish to Trustee a cash deposit, or an indemnity bond reasonably satisfactory to all affected Mortgagees with a surety
62
reasonably satisfactory to such Mortgagees, in the amount of the cost of complying with the applicable Legal Requirement, as applicable, plus, in any such case, a reasonable additional sum to pay all costs, interest, fines and penalties that may be imposed or incurred in connection therewith, to assure payment of the matters under contest or to prevent any sale or forfeiture of such Owner's Lot or any part thereof; (iv) such Owner shall timely upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such cost, together with all costs, interest, fines and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) the failure to pay such cost, as applicable, or any such interest, fine or penalty, does not constitute a default under any other deed or trust, mortgage or security interest covering or affecting any part of such Owner's Lot; and (vi) notwithstanding the foregoing, such Owner shall immediately upon request of any affected Mortgagee pay (and if such Owner shall fail so to do, any such Mortgagee may, but shall not be required to, pay or cause to be discharged or bonded against) any such cost, and all such interest, fines and penalties, notwithstanding such contest, if in the reasonable opinion of any such Mortgagee such Owner's Lot or any part thereof or interest therein, is in danger of being, or is reasonably likely to be (regardless of whether the sale, forfeiture, foreclosure, termination, cancellation or loss is imminent), sold, forfeited, foreclosed, terminated, cancelled or lost.
2. Gaming Laws. All Parties and all Persons associated with such Parties shall promptly and in all events within the applicable time limit, furnish the Nevada Gaming Commission, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, the Xxxxx County Liquor and Gaming Licensing Board and any other agency or subdivision of the State of Nevada, or any other agency or subdivision thereof, or of any other Governmental Authority regulating gaming (collectively "GAMING AUTHORITIES") any information reasonably requested thereby and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with all Gaming Authorities. A Person shall be deemed associated with a Party if that Person is an Affiliate thereof, such Person is employed by such Party, is an officer, director or agent of such Party or any Tenant, has any contractual relationship with such Party, any Tenant or any Affiliate of such Party or any Tenant, furnishes services or property to such Party, any Tenant or any Affiliate of such Party or any Tenant, or has the power to exercise a significant influence over such Party or an Affiliate of such Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Mortgagee and all Tenants shall be deemed associated with such Party, and for purposes of this Article XIII the term Party shall be deemed to mean a Party and any Affiliate thereof.
3. Other Agreements. Each Owner, at its sole cost and expense, shall be bound by and shall abide by the terms, covenants and conditions of those certain agreements set forth on EXHIBIT Q attached hereto and made a part hereof.
ARTICLE XIV
MISCELLANEOUS
1. Rights and Obligations Run with the Land. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein and subject to clause (ii) of the next sentence, the easements, rights, interests, obligations, duties, conditions, covenants and agreements granted hereby or otherwise contained herein (collectively, the "RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS") shall be appurtenant to and run with the H/C I Space, the Mall I Space, the H/C II Space, the Mall II Space and the SECC Land, shall bind H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner, H/C II Owner, Mall II Owner and SECC Owner and their respective successors in interest to the fee or leasehold title to the applicable Lot and the improvements thereon and shall inure only to the benefit of H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner, H/C II Owner, Mall II Owner and SECC Owner and their respective Mortgagees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) no other Parties shall be construed as the beneficiaries of the Rights and Obligations, none of which may be separated from or conveyed, granted or encumbered separately from the Phase I Land, the Phase II Land, the Mall I Space, the Mall II Space or the SECC Land, respectively and (ii) the Rights and Obligations shall not be binding on or inure to the benefit of, the fee owner of the Walgreens' Airspace or such fee owner's mortgagees. This Agreement, and the protective covenants, conditions, restrictions, grants of
63
easements, rights, rights-of-way, liens, charges and equitable servitudes set forth herein, shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) be perpetual, (b) be binding upon all successors and assigns, (c) inure to the benefit of all Persons having or acquiring any right, title or interest therein or in any part thereof, their heirs, successors and assigns, and, (d) subject to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, constitute covenants running with the land pursuant to applicable law. The Owners agree that upon the transfer of fee title (or leasehold title in the case of the Walgreens' Airspace) to any of the Lots, the deed evidencing such transfer shall be expressly subject to the provisions of this Agreement which shall be incorporated therein by reference.
2. No Merger. There shall be no merger of the easements, rights, interests or estates burdening any property pursuant to this Agreement with the fee estate of such property by reason of the fact that the same Person may acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, any such easements, rights, interests or estates and such fee estate, and no merger shall occur unless and until all Persons having an interest in any such easements, rights, interests or estates and such fee estate shall join in a written instrument effecting such merger.
3. Transfers.
(a) If any of H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner, Mall I Owner, Mall II Owner or SECC Owner shall transfer to any individual, partnership, firm, association, limited liability company, trust or corporation, or any other form of business or government entity (in any case, a "PERSON" and, after such transfer, an "INTEREST HOLDER") any of the following partial interests, such Interest Holder shall be treated, together with all similar Interest Holders, as a single Party for purposes of this Agreement:
(i) Any partial, subdivided interest (other than ownership of a commercial condominium unit and related undivided interest in common elements or a commercial subdivision) in the Phase I Land or the improvements thereon (in the case of H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner, Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner) or the SECC Land (in the case of SECC Owner) (a "SUBDIVIDED INTEREST HOLDER"), provided that this clause (i) shall not apply to any transfer of the Phase I Land and/or any improvements thereon to H/C II Owner, Mall I Owner or Mall II Owner contemplated by this Agreement; or
(ii) Any partial, undivided interest in all of the land or improvements owned by it, such as may be held by joint tenancy or tenancy-in-common or as a life estate or partnership interests in a partnership (or a membership interests in a limited liability company) holding all of the interests in such property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subdivided Interest Holders may be treated as separate Interest Holders provided that at no time shall there be more than ten (10) such separate Subdivided Interest Holders with respect to either the Phase I Land or the SECC Land, as applicable.
(b) A Mortgagee shall not be deemed to be an Interest Holder unless such Mortgagee is also a Transferee.
(c) (i) All of the Interest Holders with respect to each of the Phase I Land, the Phase II Land, the Phase I Mall, the Phase II Mall and the SECC Land shall designate one of their number as their agent (an "AGENT") to act on their behalf so that other Parties shall not be required with respect to the applicable land or improvements, as the case may be, to obtain the action or agreement of, or to proceed against, more than one individual or entity in carrying out or enforcing the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of this Agreement. The foregoing requirements to designate an Agent shall not apply to stockholders and bondholders of a corporate Party, the members of a limited liability company or partners of a partnership.
(ii) Where the transfer is of partial interests as described above but the Persons owning such partial interests fail to designate an Agent, the acts of the Person who was deemed to be the Party
64
to this Agreement prior to the transfer (whether or not such Party retains any interest in the property in question) shall be binding on all Persons having an interest or right in the applicable land or improvements until such time as written notice of such designation is given and recorded in the Recorder's Office and a copy thereof is served on the Parties hereto as required by Section 15 of this Article XIV.
(iii) The exercise of any powers and rights of a Party by such Party's Agent shall be binding upon all Persons having an ownership or leasehold interest or right in the applicable land or improvements and upon all Persons having an ownership interest in the Party in question, to the same extent as if such exercise had been performed by such Party. The other Parties shall have the right to deal with and rely solely upon the acts and omissions of such Party's Agent in connection with their performance of this Agreement, but such designation of an Agent shall not relieve any Party from its obligations under this Agreement.
(iv) An Agent shall be the authorized agent of its principals for service of any process, writ, summons, order or other mandate of any nature of any court in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement. Service upon an Agent shall constitute due and proper service of any such matter upon its principals. Until a successor Agent has been appointed and notice of such appointment has been given pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3, the designation of a Party's Agent shall remain irrevocable.
(d) Restrictions on Phase I Mall Sales.
Mall I Owner covenants and agrees, for the benefit of H/C I Owner only, as follows:
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, but subject to the provisions of Section 3(d)(iii) below of this Article XIV, no Phase I Mall Sale may be consummated unless H/C I Owner is given not less than thirty (30) days written notice of such contemplated transaction and unless H/C I Owner consents to such transaction, which consent may be withheld in H/C I Owner's sole and absolute discretion; provided, however that from and after the earlier to occur of (1) the substantial completion of the Palazzo and the opening of the Palazzo to the general public and (2) January 31, 2007, such consent shall not be required (but such prior written notice shall still be required) if (x) neither the transferee nor any Affiliate thereof is a Competitor, (y) the transferee (or an Affiliate thereof) owns or manages not less than ten million (10,000,000) square feet of retail space in the United States and (z) such Phase I Mall Sale would not, in the good-faith judgment of H/C I Owner, jeopardize any of H/C I Owner's Gaming Licenses. In all events, neither Mall I Owner nor any Affiliate thereof shall ever be a Competitor, whether as the result of a Phase I Mall Sale or otherwise, unless H/C I Owners consents with respect thereto. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Casino Level Master Lease, the tenant under the Casino Level Master Lease must always be Mall I Owner or an Affiliate thereof.
(ii) Except as described in Section 3(d)(iii) of this Article XIV, H/C I Owner shall have a right of first offer to consummate any Phase I Mall Sale in accordance with and subject to the following procedures, and no Phase I Mall Sale shall occur except in accordance with and subject to such procedures:
(1) If Mall I Owner (which, for purposes of this Section 3(d) of Article XIV, shall include any owner of a direct or indirect equity or beneficial ownership interest in Mall I Owner) desires to either (x) sell, assign or otherwise transfer the Mall I Space or Phase I Mall or any portion of either or any such direct or indirect equity or beneficial ownership interests (any such asset or interest, including the entire Mall I Space and Phase I Mall, a "MALL ASSET"), or (y) lease all or substantially all of the Mall I Space or Phase I Mall to one Person or a group of Affiliated Persons (any such sale, assignment, transfer or lease, a "PHASE I MALL SALE"), Mall I Owner must make a written offer to sell such Mall Asset
65
to H/C I Owner, which offer must include the proposed purchase price (or proposed rental payments, in the case of a lease) and all other material terms of the proposed transaction. Upon receipt of such notice, H/C I Owner shall have thirty (30) days in which to notify Mall I Owner that it has elected to purchase such Mall Asset upon the terms of the offer made to H/C I Owner.
(2) In the event that H/C I Owner accepts Mall I Owner's offer within said thirty (30) day period, the parties shall negotiate in good-faith for the sixty (60) day period following such acceptance the terms and provisions of a definitive binding purchase agreement (or lease agreement, if applicable) in connection therewith. In the event that notwithstanding such good faith negotiation, no definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement is entered into between the parties within said sixty (60) day period, Mall I Owner may then, without having to once again comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(d)(ii), either:
(A) Market the applicable Mall Asset and conclude the applicable Phase I Mall Sale for a purchase price not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price offered to H/C I Owner (or for rental payments having a present value (assuming a 6% annual discount rate) of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rental payments offered to H/C I Owner, in the case of a lease) and otherwise upon terms not materially less advantageous to Mall I Owner than the terms offered to H/C I Owner, but only if such transaction is consummated, or the definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement with respect thereto is entered into, no later than six (6) months after the expiration of said sixty (60) day period; or
(B) In the event Mall I Owner desires to sell such Mall Asset for a purchase price which is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price offered to H/C I Owner (or for rental payments having a present value (assuming a 6% annual discount rate) of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rental payments offered to H/C I Owner, in the case of a lease) or otherwise on terms materially less advantageous to Mall I Owner than the terms offered to H/C I Owner, provide H/C I Owner (no later than six (6) months after the expiration of said sixty (60) day period) with written notice of the terms of the offer from a third-party that Mall I Owner intends to accept (which notice must include a copy of the proposed definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement that Mall I Owner intends to execute). In such event, H/C I Owner shall have ten (10) Business Days in which to notify Mall I Owner that H/C I Owner has elected to purchase such Mall Asset upon the terms of the offer presented to H/C I Owner and five (5) days following the delivery of such notice to execute such a definitive written binding purchase agreement or lease agreement. If H/C I Owner fails to provide such notice within such ten (10) Business Day period or thereafter fails to enter into a definitive written binding purchase agreement or lease agreement within such five (5) day period, Mall I Owner may, without having to once again comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(d)(ii), accept such third-party offer and consummate the applicable Phase I Mall Sale with such third-party on terms materially consistent with such offer.
(3) In the event H/C I Owner rejects an offer made by Mall I Owner pursuant to subsection (1) of this Section 3(d)(ii), Mall I Owner may, without once again complying with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(d)(ii) of Article XIV, consummate the applicable Phase I Mall Sale with a third party for a purchase price greater than or equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price offered to H/C I Owner (or for rental payments having a present value (assuming a 6% annual discount rate) of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rental payments offered to H/C I Owner, in the case of a lease), and otherwise on
66
terms not materially less advantageous to Mall I Owner than the terms offered to H/C I Owner, but only if such sale is consummated, or the definitive binding written purchase agreement or lease agreement with respect thereto is entered into, no later than six (6) months after the date H/C I Owner rejected Mall I Owner's offer.
(4) In the event that any Phase I Mall Sale is intended to be consummated as part of a portfolio sale of other properties and/or interests, Mall I Owner shall cause a fair and reasonable portion of the aggregate purchase price for such portfolio sale to be allocated to such Phase I Mall Sale for all purposes of this Section 3(d)(ii) of Article XIV.
(iii) Mall I Owner acknowledges and confirms that subject to the next sentence, both the provisions of Section 3(d)(i) above of this Article XIV, and the provisions of Section 3(d)(ii) of this Article XIV, apply with respect to any Phase I Mall Sale, so that compliance with one set of provisions does not obviate or nullify in any way the requirement that the other set of provisions be complied with. However, the provisions of Section 3(d)(i) and 3(d)(ii) above of this Article XIV shall not apply to (a) sales or other transfers or issuances of direct or indirect equity or beneficial ownership interests that do not, pursuant to one transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions, exceed 66 2/3% of the beneficial interests in Mall I Owner and that do not result in a change in the Person or Persons that ultimately "control" Mall I Owner (as the term "control" is used in the definition of Affiliate), (b) transfers to Affiliates, (c) any Phase I Mall Sale pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure of a Mortgage, or any conveyance(s) of the Mall I Space and/or Phase I Mall to any Mall I Mortgagee or any Affiliate thereof in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction (any such foreclosure or deed-in- lieu thereof, "PHASE I MALL FORECLOSURE SALE"), and, if the purchaser or transferee in a Phase I Mall Foreclosure Sale is a Mall I Mortgagee or any Affiliate thereof, any subsequent Phase I Mall Sales by such Mortgagee or Affiliate or any of its direct or indirect equity holders or beneficial owners, provided that the right of first offer shall thereafter apply (subject to clauses (a) - (e) of this sentence) to any Phase I Mall Sales in which the seller or transferor is not any of such parties, (d) any transfers or issuances of stock of General Growth Properties, Inc. or its corporate successor or any other company with stock publicly traded on the American Stock Exchange or New York Stock Exchange or a similar stock exchange of another nation or (e) any transfers or issuances of partnership interests in GGP Limited Partnership.
(iv) By joining in the execution of this Agreement, certain holders of direct and indirect equity and beneficial ownership interests in Mall I Owner agree, on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns, to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3(d) of Article XIV. Each holder of such ownership interests in Mall I Owner shall, as a condition to any sale of its interest, obtain a written agreement from its Transferee, for the benefit of H/C I Owner, agreeing to be bound by the provisions of Sections 3(d) and 3(e) of this Article XIV, and shall deliver a copy of such written agreement to H/C I Owner.
(v) Any Phase I Mall Sale that is made in violation of this Section 3(d) of Article XIV shall be void AB INITIO.
(vi) In the event that any Mall I Mortgagee delivers a written notice of any default or event of default under its mortgage encumbering the Mall I Space (a "MALL I MORTGAGE") or that the outstanding principal under the note or notes secured by such Mall I Mortgage has become due (whether by acceleration or for any other reason) (any such notice, a "MALL I MORTGAGE DEFAULT NOTICE"), the Mall I Mortgagee shall, simultaneously with the delivery of such notice to Mall I Owner, deliver a copy thereof to H/C I Owner. In such event, and so long as at the time such notice is delivered H/C I Owner satisfies the Financial Covenant (as defined below), H/C I Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make any payment or take any other action necessary to cure any default or event of default that is susceptible to cure by H/C I Owner (a

"CURABLE DEFAULT"), and the applicable Mall I Mortgagee shall be obligated to accept such cure as if the payment was made or the action was taken by Mall I Owner, provided that (x) H/C I Owner shall not be entitled to cure more than three (3) interest payment defaults in any twelve (12) month period and (y) if, at any time after a Mall I Mortgage Default Notice is given but before the applicable Curable Default is cured, the Financial Covenant is no longer satisfied, H/C I Owner's cure right with respect to such Curable Default shall terminate. H/C I Owner shall have the same cure period granted to Mall I Owner under the Mall I Mortgage and related loan documents (collectively, including the Mall I Mortgage, the "MALL I LOAN DOCUMENTS"), plus (A) with respect to the payment of interest or principal (other than accelerated principal) required by the Mall I Loan Documents, three (3) Business Days (and in all events not less than three (3) Business Days after H/C I Owner's receipt of the applicable Mall I Mortgage Default Notice), (B) with respect to the payment of any other amounts under the Mall I Loan Documents, five (5) Business Days (and in all events not less than five (5) Business Days after H/C I Owner's receipt of the applicable Mall I Mortgage Default Notice), and (C) with respect to any Curable Default other than a failure to make a payment required by the Mall I Loan Documents, and provided (1) H/C I Owner delivers written notice to Mall I Mortgagee of its intention to cure such default within five (5) Business Days after H/C I Owner's receipt of the applicable Mall I Mortgage Default Notice and (2) H/C I Owner is diligently proceeding to cure such default, such additional time (but not to exceed one hundred and twenty (120) days in the aggregate) as is reasonably necessary for H/C I Owner to take or effectuate such actions necessary to cure such default. After any Mall I Mortgage Default Notice is given, the applicable Mortgagee shall give H/C I Owner written notice if the default or event of default is subsequently cured (other than by H/C I Owner) or acceleration is revoked. As used herein, "FINANCIAL COVENANT" shall mean that, as of the applicable date, H/C I Owner (a) has, for the trailing twelve month period ending with the last full fiscal quarter, a "Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement as in effect as of the date hereof) equal to or greater than 1.0:1.0 and (b) is not in default (beyond any applicable notice and/or grace periods and excluding defaults that have been waived) under any indebtedness for borrowed money having a principal amount in excess of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000.00).
(vii) In the event the entire principal sum secured by any Mall I Mortgage becomes immediately due and payable, whether by acceleration or for any other reason, the Mall I Mortgagee shall promptly give H/C I Owner written notice of such event (such notice, the "Acceleration Notice"), and so long as at the time such notice is given H/C I Owner satisfies the Financial Covenant, H/C I Owner shall have the option (the "BUY-OUT OPTION") to purchase Mall I Mortgagee's interest in the Mall I Loan Documents and the loan evidenced thereby (the "MALL I LOAN") at a price equal to the Buy-Out Option Purchase Price (as defined below), provided that H/C I Owner shall not have such option unless (x) it gives written notice to Mall I Mortgagee of its election to exercise such option no later than sixty (60) days after the Acceleration Notice was given and (y) at the time H/C I Owner gives such notice it satisfies the Financial Covenant. If H/C I Owner elects to exercise such option, H/C I Owner shall be obligated to purchase, and Mall I Mortgagee shall be obligated to sell, the Mall I Loan and the Mall I Loan Documents for the Buy-Out Option Purchase Price on a date not less than five (5) Business Days, nor more than ten (10) Business Days, after H/C I Owner delivers its written notice to Mall I Mortgagee of such election, such date to be selected by Mall I Mortgagee). Upon payment by H/C I Owner to Mall I Mortgagee of the Buy-Out Option Purchase Price on the applicable date, the Mall I Mortgagee shall, pursuant to assignment documents that contain no representations or warranties other than a representation that the Mall I Mortgagee owns the Mall I Loan Documents free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, and that are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to H/C I Owner and Mall I Mortgagee, assign to H/C I Owner (or any designee thereof) the Mall I Mortgage and the other Mall I Loan Documents. Said assignment shall not
68
relieve Mall I Owner of any of Mall I Owner's defaults and liabilities under said loan. "BUY-OUT OPTION PURCHASE PRICE" shall mean the sum, without duplication, of (a) the principal balance of the Mall I Loan, (b) accrued and unpaid interest on the Mall I Loan, up to (but excluding) the date of purchase, (c) all other amounts owed by Mall I Owner under the Mall I Loan Documents as of the date of purchase, including, without limitation (but only to the extent so owed) (1) any unreimbursed advances made by the servicer of the Mall I Loan, with interest at the applicable rate, (2) any servicing and special servicing fees, (3) any exit fees, (4) any prepayment, yield maintenance or similar premiums and (5) if the date of purchase is not a scheduled payment date under the Mall I Loan Documents, accrued and unpaid interest on the Mall I Loan from the date of purchase up to (but excluding) the scheduled payment date next succeeding the date of purchase and (d) all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Mall I Mortgagee in connection with the Buy-Out Option. The Buy-Out Option Purchase Price shall be calculated by the Mall I Mortgagee (or its servicer) three (3) Business Days prior to the date set for purchase and shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon Mall I Mortgagee and H/C I Owner.
(viii) Mall I Owner covenants and agrees that it will cause each Mall I Mortgage to include or cross-reference the provisions of 3(d)(vi) and 3(d)(vii) of this Article XIV, and to make H/C I Owner a third party beneficiary of such inclusion or cross-reference, but all Mall I Mortgagees shall be bound by such provisions even if this sentence is not complied with. If any Mall I Mortgagee does not comply with Sections 3(d)(vi) and 3(d)(vii), then, in addition to any other rights and remedies H/C I Owner may have at law or in equity, clause (c) of the second sentence of Section 3(d)(iii) of this Article XIV shall be deemed null and void with respect to such Mortgagee and its Mall I Mortgage and any foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in connection therewith.
(ix) Mall I Owner shall, within five (5) Business Days after any payment made or expense incurred by H/C I Owner in connection with the exercise of H/C I Owner's rights under Section 3(d)(vi) of this Article XIV, reimburse H/C I Owner for such payment or expense.
(x) In consideration of the rights granted to H/C I Owner under Sections 3(d)(vi), (vii) and (ix) of this Article XIV and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if H/C I Owner shall exercise any of its rights under said Section 3(d)(vi), H/C I Owner hereby covenants and agrees that, until the satisfaction in full of the applicable Mall I Loan, it shall not, in connection with any amount owned by Mall I Owner to H/C I Owner pursuant to Section 3(d)(ix) of this Article XIV, institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition (either by itself or in conjunction with any other person or entity) under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise (or join any person or entity in any such petition) or otherwise invoke or cause any other person or entity to invoke any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to or against Mall I Owner or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to Mall I Owner or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of Mall I Owner. Any Mall I Mortgagee shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Section 3(d)(x) of Article XIV and shall have the right to take any and all appropriate action at law or in equity to enforce its provisions.
(xi) Mall I Owner acknowledges that H/C I Owner and Affiliates of H/C I Owner are businesses that are or may be subject to and exist because of privileged licenses issued by Gaming Authorities. If Mall I Owner desires to effectuate any Phase I Mall Sale, Mall I Owner shall require the proposed purchaser, assignee, transferee or lessee (a "PROPOSED TRANSFEREE") to disclose to Mall I Owner and H/C I Owner the names of all of its officers and directors. Unless it is a publicly traded corporation on a national stock exchange, the Proposed Transferee shall disclose to Mall I Owner and H/C I Owner all direct and indirect ownership interests in the Proposed Tenant and all lenders or sources of financing. If requested to do so by H/C I Owner,
69
Mall I Owner shall require a Proposed Transferee to obtain any license, qualification, clearance or the like which shall be requested or required of any Proposed Transferee by any Gaming Authority or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over H/C I Owner or any Affiliate of H/C I Owner. If a Proposed Transferee fails to satisfy such requirement or if H/C I Owner or any Affiliate of H/C I Owner is directed not to involve itself in business with a Proposed Transferee by any such authority, or if H/C I Owner shall in good faith determine, in H/C I Owner's good-faith judgment, that a Proposed Transferee or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, designees or representatives, or a partner, owner, member, or shareholder, or any lender or financial participant (a) is or might be engaged in, or is about to be engaged in, any activity or activities, or (b) was or is involved in any relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize H/C I Owner's business, reputation or such licenses, or those of its Affiliates, or if any such license is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked, then Mall I Owner, at H/C I Owner's direction, shall immediately (i) terminate any relationship with the individual or entity which is the source of the problem, or (ii) cease the activity creating the problem. If Mall I Owner does not comply with item (i) or (ii) above, then H/C I Owner may require Mall I Owner to specifically perform such obligation (the parties recognizing that damages or other remedies would be inadequate under the circumstances). Any Phase I Mall Sale entered into in violation of this Section 3(d)(xi) of this Article XIV shall be deemed null and void and of no force and effect.
4. Identity of Mall I Owner and Its Officers and Directors. Mall I Owner acknowledges that H/C I Owner and Affiliates of H/C I Owner are businesses that are or may be subject to and exist because of privileged licenses issued by Gaming Authorities. Mall I Owner shall promptly notify H/C I Owner of the appointment of any individual as an officer, director or senior employee of Mall I Owner who does not hold such position as of the date hereof (each a "NEW MALL I INDIVIDUAL"). If requested to do so by H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner shall require any New Mall I Individual or other officer, director, employee, agent, designee or representative, or a partner, owner, member, or shareholder, or any lender or financial participant of Mall I Owner to obtain any license, qualification, clearance or the like which shall be requested or required of any such individual by any Gaming Authority or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over H/C I Owner or any Affiliate of H/C I Owner. If any New Mall I Individual or other officer, director, employee, agent, designee or representative, or a partner, owner, member, or shareholder, or any lender or financial participant of Mall I Owner fails to satisfy such requirement or if H/C I Owner or any Affiliate of H/C I Owner is directed not to involve itself in business with such individual by any such authority, or if H/C I Owner shall in good faith determine, in H/C I Owner's good-faith judgment, that such individual (a) is or might be engaged in, or is about to be engaged in, any activity or activities, or (b) was or is involved in any relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize H/C I Owner's business, reputation or such licenses, or those of its Affiliates, or if any such license is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked, then Mall I Owner, at H/C I Owner's direction, shall immediately (i) terminate any relationship with the individual or entity which is the source of the problem, or (ii) cease the activity creating the problem. If Mall I Owner does not comply with item (i) or (ii) above, then H/C I Owner may require Mall I Owner to specifically perform such obligation (the parties recognizing that damages or other remedies would be inadequate under the circumstances). Any appointment of any New Mall I Individual in violation of this Section 4 of this Article XIV shall be deemed null and void and of no force and effect.
5. Mortgages.
(a) Each Party shall have the right to collaterally assign and encumber this Agreement as security to one or more of its Mortgagees holding a Mortgage so long as such Mortgagee, in writing (i) subordinates such Mortgage and the lien thereof to this Agreement and to the rights, interests, obligations, duties, conditions, covenants and agreements granted pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise contained herein (whether such Mortgage is recorded on or after the date hereof) and (ii) agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon its taking title to such
70
property (subject to the provisions of Section 6 below). In no event may a Mortgagee (other than with respect to any Mortgage encumbering the Phase II Land, Phase II Mall, H/C I Space or Mall I Space) be a Competitor of an Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, regardless of whether any Mortgagee shall receive a collateral assignment of this Agreement, each Mortgage (whether recorded on or after the date hereof) and the lien thereof shall automatically be subject and subordinate to this Agreement and to the rights, interests, obligations, duties, conditions, covenants and agreements granted pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise contained herein.
(b) Each Party agrees for the benefit of the other Parties and their respective Mortgagees, that wherever a Party has a right to grant or withhold its consent or approval under this Agreement, or otherwise has discretion to act or refrain from acting, such Party shall only grant its consent or approval or act or refrain from acting, as the case may be, in such a manner as a Commercially Reasonable Owner would do and so long as the same is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) In any instance (other than Section 2(b) of Article XI) where a Mortgagee's consent is required under this Agreement and such Mortgagee shall be a trustee for publicly held debt under an indenture, such Mortgagee shall be deemed to have given its consent upon delivery to such trustee of a written statement from an Independent Expert certifying that the matter proposed for consent would be consented to by a Commercially Reasonable Owner of the Lot(s) encumbered in favor of said Mortgagee and the same is not likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however that the foregoing consent procedure shall not be construed as a means for satisfying any consents or approvals required to be obtained with respect to matters under the terms of the indenture, security documents and other loan documents pertaining to any such Mortgagee, it being understood that said consent or approval requirements must be satisfied in accordance with their terms.
71
(a) Subject to the further provisions of this Section 6, any assignee or transferee (in either case, a "TRANSFEREE") of all or any portion of the Phase I Land and/or any buildings or other improvements thereon, the Mall I Space and/or any buildings or other improvements thereon, or the SECC Land and/or any buildings or other improvements thereon, including, without limitation, any transferee by way of a foreclosure sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations and liabilities hereunder of the Party from whom such Transferee received its interest in such portion of the Phase I Land, Mall I Space or the SECC Land or such buildings or other improvements (to the extent such obligations or liabilities relate to such portion); provided that, without limiting the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of written request therefor by the non-transferring Party hereto, the Transferee shall execute a writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Transferee and to such non-transferring Party, confirming such assumption. In the event of such a transfer or assignment, the transferring Party (the "TRANSFEROR") shall be released from any obligations arising after the effective date of the transfer or assignment (but not any obligations of the Transferor that are outstanding under this Agreement as of the effective date of the transfer or assignment, and the Transferor and the Transferee shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to such obligations). Each Transferor shall give the other Party hereto at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice of the transfer or assignment in question and shall furnish a fully-executed copy of the instrument of transfer or assignment, within five (5) Business Days of execution thereof, to the other Party hereto.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a transfer to any Mortgagee (or its designee) resulting from (i) judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of the Mortgage held by such Mortgagee or (ii) the grant of a deed-in-lieu of such foreclosure, then, in either event, (x) the Transferor shall be released from any obligations arising after the effective date of the transfer; provided, however that the Transferor shall not be released from any obligations which remain outstanding on the date of such transfer and (y) such Mortgagee (or its designee) shall not be liable for any non-monetary defaults of the Transferor arising under this Agreement prior to the effective date of the transfer that are not susceptible to cure by the Transferee after obtaining possession of the Lot in question.
7. As-Built Survey. Each Party, upon the request of any other Party, shall enter into one or more separate agreements in recordable form setting forth in legally sufficient detail the easements, rights-of-way and other rights and interests provided for in, or granted (or required to be granted) pursuant to, this Agreement. In addition, upon completion of construction of each of the Palazzo and the Phase II Automobile Parking Area, H/C II Owner, as applicable, shall, at its sole cost and expense, have an as-built survey prepared by a reputable licensed surveyor of the applicable portion of the Phase II Land, together will all improvements constructed thereon and a copy of such survey will be sent to each Owner and to each Owner's Mortgagees.
8. Estoppel Certificates. Each Party shall at any time and from time to time during the Term (but not more often than once in each calendar quarter), within fifteen (15) Business Days after request by any other Party, execute, acknowledge and deliver to such other Party or to any existing or prospective purchaser, Mortgagee or lessee designated by such other Party, a certificate stating: (a) that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect, or if there has been a modification or modifications, that this Agreement is in full force and effect, as modified, and identifying the modification agreement or agreements; (b) whether or not there is any existing default hereunder by either Party in the payment of any sum of money owing to the Party executing such certificate, whether or not there is any existing default by either Party with respect to which a notice of default has been given or received by the Party executing such certificate (and, to the best of the knowledge of the Party executing such certificate, whether any other default exists under this Agreement), and if there is any such default, specifying the nature and extent thereof; (c) whether or not there are any outstanding
72
claims, set-offs, defenses or counterclaims which a Party has asserted against the other Party by notice to the other Party; and (d) such other matters as may be reasonably requested.
9. Indemnification. Each of the Parties shall at all times indemnify and hold harmless each of the other Parties, their Mortgagees, the Trustee and their respective partners, principals, officers, directors, shareholders and employees, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses, costs, demands, claims and judgments, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred or suffered by any such indemnified Party and arising from or as a result of the death of, or any accident, injury, loss or damage whatsoever caused to any persons or property (a) as shall occur on the land or in any buildings or other improvements owned by such indemnifying Party, (b) as shall occur due to the entry by such indemnifying Party or its employees, contractors and agents onto the land or buildings owned by such indemnified Party, (c) as shall occur due to a violation of this Agreement on the part of the indemnifying Party, or (d) in connection with the exercise of any rights, licenses or interests granted to, or easements used by such indemnifying Party hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent such claims (i) result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified Party, (ii) are covered by any insurance referred to in Article X hereof that is obtained by any Party or would have been covered, if any other Party had obtained the same, by any such insurance that any other Party is required thereunder to obtain or (iii) result from the exercise of any rights or interests granted to, or easements used by, any other Party hereunder. In accordance with, but without limiting, the foregoing, H/C II Owner agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the other Owners, their Mortgagees, the Trustee and their respective partners, principals, officers, directors, shareholders and employees, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, expenses, costs, demands, claims and judgments, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred or suffered by any such indemnified Party and arising from or as a result of the death of, or any accident, injury, loss or damage whatsoever caused to any persons or property as may occur in connection with the construction of the Palazzo, except, in each case, to the extent such claims (i) result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified Party, (ii) are caused by construction, alterations or "fit-out" work performed by Mall II Buyer, or its agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors, on or about the Phase II Land during the construction of the Palazzo, in which event Mall II Owner shall be the indemnifying party under this sentence or (ii) are covered by any insurance referred to in Article X hereof that is obtained by any Party or would have been covered, if any other Party had obtained the same, by any such insurance that any other Party is required thereunder to obtain.
10. Rights to Cure Default; Payment of Default and Lien.
(a) In the event that any Party (a "DEFAULTING PARTY") shall fail to fully, faithfully and punctually perform or cause to be performed any obligation on the part of such Defaulting Party hereunder, then (i) if such default shall continue for ten (10) days after notice thereof (except in the event of an emergency where no notice shall be required) from any non-Defaulting Party affected by such default to the Defaulting Party, such non-Defaulting Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to (x) enter upon the property owned or leased by the Defaulting Party to the extent reasonably required to perform or cause to be performed the obligations of the Defaulting Party with respect to which the Defaulting Party is in default, (y) perform or cause to be performed such obligations and (z) be reimbursed by such Defaulting Party, upon demand by such non-Defaulting Party, for the cost thereof, together with simple interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date of demand to the date of reimbursement by the Defaulting Party and (ii) if such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice from such non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party, then such non-Defaulting Party shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity (other than any right to terminate this Agreement); provided, however that if such default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and the Defaulting Party shall have commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended to the extent necessary so to
73
cure such default (but in no event beyond one hundred eighty (180) days in total (including the original thirty (30) day period)); provided further, that any default that can be cured solely by the payment of money shall be cured within ten (10) days after notice from such non-Defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party.
(b) If pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Article XIV, a Party is compelled or elects to pay any sum of money or do any acts which require the payment of money by reason of another Party's failure or inability to perform any of the terms and provisions in this Agreement to be performed by such other Party, the Defaulting Party shall promptly upon demand, reimburse the paying Party for such sums, and all such sums shall bear simple interest at the Interest Rate from the date of demand for reimbursement until the date of such reimbursement. Any other sums payable by any Party to any other Party pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement that shall not be paid when due shall bear simple interest at the Interest Rate from the due date to the date of payment thereof. All such unpaid sums shall constitute a valid and enforceable lien on the Defaulting Party's Lot and each Party hereby consents to the filing by any other Party of any and all documentation necessary or desirable to perfect and/or secure such lien. No action shall be brought to foreclose such lien unless (x) thirty (30) days' notice of claim of lien is given to the Defaulting Party, (y) such notice and opportunity to cure is given to the holder of any Mortgage encumbering the Defaulting Party's Lot as is required under Section 15(c) of this Article, and (z) no such Person shall cure the default in question within the applicable cure period. Reasonable attorneys' fees and charges in connection with collection of the debt secured by such lien or foreclosure thereof shall be paid by the Party against whom such action is brought and secured by such lien. Such lien shall be superior to any other lien and encumbrance on the affected Lot created or arising on or after the date of the Original REA, including, without limitation, the lien of any Mortgage. The liens provided for in this Section 10 shall only be effective when filed for record by the non-Defaulting Party as a claim of lien against the defaulting Party in the Recorder's Office, signed and acknowledged, which claim of lien shall contain at least:
(i) An itemized statement of all amounts due and payable pursuant hereto;
(ii) A description sufficient for identification of that portion of the real property of the Defaulting Party which is the subject of the lien;
(iii) The name of the Owner or reputed Owner of the property which is the subject of the lien; and
(iv) The name and address of the Party claiming the lien.
The lien shall attach from the date a claim is recorded and may be enforced under the procedures set forth in Nev. Rev. Stat. Sections 116.3116-116.31168, except that the term "unit," as used in the foregoing provisions, shall be deemed to refer to the Defaulting Party's interest in the real property which is subject to the lien. The Party claiming the lien shall release the claim of lien once the amounts secured by the lien have been paid in full.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10(b) of this Article XIV, H/C I Owner hereby expressly agrees that any amount due from Mall I Owner to H/C I Owner under the provisions of Section 3(d)(ix) of this Article XIV (a "CURE REIMBURSEMENT AMOUNT") is hereby expressly made subordinate to and junior in right of payment to the payment of all amounts that are due and payable under any Mall I Loan. H/C I Owner further agrees that any liens and security interests in favor of H/C I Owner under Section 10(b) of this Article XIV in respect of any Cure Reimbursement Amounts in any assets of Mall I Owner shall be and hereby are subordinated in rank and priority to any liens and security interests granted to and in favor of any Mall I Mortgagee in those assets (whether now or hereafter arising) to secure the applicable Mall I Loan. In the event that, at the time any amount is due and payable to any Mall I Mortgagee under any Mall I Loan, any payment or distribution of assets of Mall I Owner of any kind or character, whether in cash, instruments, securities
74
or other property, is received by H/C I Owner in respect of a Cure Reimbursement Amount from any source, directly or indirectly, such payment or distribution shall be held for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to, the Mall I Mortgagee to the extent necessary to pay such due and payable amount under the Mall I Loan.
11. Rights Perpetual. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) the utility, parking, and encroachment easements and related rights and interests granted herein shall be perpetual and shall remain binding forever and (ii) the remainder of this Agreement shall continue, and the remainder of the obligations hereunder shall remain binding, from the Commencement Date until the Expiration Date. No Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of any default or alleged default of any other Party, but such limitation shall not affect, in any manner, any other rights or remedies which any Party may have hereunder, at law or in equity by reason of any breach of this Agreement.
12. Further Assurances. Each Party upon the request of any other Party and at the expense of such other Party at any time from time to time, agrees to promptly execute, acknowledge where appropriate and deliver such additional instruments and documents, in recordable form if appropriate, and to take such other action, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by such other Party in order to effectuate the agreements contained herein. The Parties further agree to make such changes to this Agreement as shall be reasonably required to make this Agreement consistent with all applicable Legal Requirements.
13. Rights Irrevocable. The Parties hereby agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) no fee or other charge is payable by any Person in connection with the use of any easement, right or interest granted hereunder or pursuant to the terms hereof and (b) all easements, rights and interests granted hereunder or pursuant to the terms hereof shall be irrevocable.
14. No Joint Venture. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the Parties hereto, or by any third Party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent, or of partners or joint venturers, between the Parties hereto.
15. Notices.
(a) All notices, demands, requests and other communications given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (i) upon delivery if personally delivered; (ii) when delivered, postage prepaid, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested as evidenced by the return receipt; or (iii) upon delivery if deposited with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service marked for delivery on the next Business Day, in any case, addressed to the Party for whom it is intended at its address hereinafter set forth:

(b) The holders of the Existing Mortgages (as defined below) and each other Mortgagee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any other notice rights contained herein, notice of any default by the Party hereto whose property is encumbered by the applicable Mortgage, provided that each Mortgagee other than holders of the Existing Mortgages (who shall not be required to deliver a Form Notice) shall have delivered a copy of a notice in the form herein provided to each Party hereto (the "FORM NOTICE").

Each Party expressly acknowledges that certain third parties, including the separate creditors of each Party, are relying upon (i) the binding and enforceable nature hereof by each Party against the others and (ii) the separate assets and liabilities of each Party. Each Party therefore agrees not to challenge or seek to set aside this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or otherwise) based upon any assertion that such transactions do not contain arm's-length terms or upon any direct or indirect common ownership of the Parties.
(b) All obligations of any Party under this Agreement constitute independent obligations of such Party and (except where expressly stated to be conditions) are not conditioned in any way on performance by any other Party.

Nothing in the preceding two sentences shall limit any right of any Party to recover damages or to obtain equitable relief on account of any other Party's breach of this Agreement. All Parties acknowledge that every Party will be making a substantial monetary investment in reliance on the terms of this Agreement and the independent obligations undertaken by each Party pursuant to this Agreement. Without this Agreement, the Parties would not be able to achieve a coordinated development of the real property burdened by this Agreement, which coordinated development is intended and expected to produce substantial benefits for all Parties. All Parties acknowledge that it would be inequitable for any Party to be excused from any obligations under this Agreement while retaining its interest in the property encumbered (and benefited) by this Agreement.

31. Shared Costs. Wherever it is contemplated in this Agreement that Owners will share costs, the Owner who contracts for or incurs such costs on behalf of all such Owners shall do so only pursuant to arms-length agreements at market rates; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to an Owner who incurs expense to cure the default of another Owner.
32. No Duplication of Charges. Notwithstanding the fact that a fee, expense or other charge may be referenced more than once in this Agreement, no Party shall be required to pay such fee, expense or other charge more than once.
33. Section References. Wherever the word "Section" appears with no reference to a corresponding "Article", the referenced Section shall be construed to be within the Article wherein such reference is made.
34. Modifications Requested By Mortgagees. If any actual or prospective Mortgagee requests any modification of this Agreement, then the Owners shall, at the request of the Owner whose Mortgagee is requesting such modification, promptly execute and deliver such modification as such actual or prospective Mortgagee shall require, provided that such modification does not affect the rights of any of the other Owners (other than to a de minimus extent), increase the obligations of any of the other Owners hereunder (other than to a de minimus extent) or violate any term of any other Owner's Mortgages. In addition, at any point after the Mortgage Notes have been paid in full, each Owner and Mortgagee agrees, upon the request of any Owner, to revise Article X of this Agreement to (a) change the reference to "one year" in the second sentence of Section 13 of Article X to a reference to "three years" and (b) change the reference to "twelve (12) months" in Section 5 of Article X to a reference to "thirty-six (36) months".
35. Notice to Xxxxx County Building Department.

Should this Agreement be terminated or modified without the written concurrence of the Xxxxx County Building Division of the Department of Development Services (the "BUILDING DEPARTMENT") verifying that each Lot will remain or be in compliance with building code requirements, the Building Department could prohibit continued operation of the business of a Party until compliance with all Legal Requirements. Although Xxxxx County is not a Party, each Party covenants and agrees to give notice to Xxxxx County in the manner provided herein prior to any modification or termination of this Agreement.
36. Insurance Report. The Parties acknowledge and confirm that (x) the provisions of Article X hereof have been changed from the provisions of Article X in the First Amended and Restated REA Agreement and (y) all of such changes reflect those recommendations of an Insurance Report prepared by an Independent insurance consultant engaged by H/C I Owner, Mall I Owner and SECC Owner (in consultation with the Trustee) pursuant to the first sentence of Section 9 of Article X hereof that have been approved by the Parties in accordance with the second sentence of said Section 9. An annotated copy of said Insurance Report, indicating which recommendations contained therein have been so approved (the "Approved Recommendations"), is attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit AA. The Owners' approval of the Approved Recommendations is evidenced by their execution of this Agreement; the approval of the Approved Recommendations by the Mortgagee under the Existing Phase I Mortgage-Bank is evidenced by that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement of even date herewith by and among LVSI, VCR, said Mortgagee and other financial institutions; the deemed approval (pursuant to paragraph 5(c) of Article XIV hereof) by the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee of the Approved Recommendations (and of all the other changes to the First Amended and Restated REA Agreement made by this Agreement) is evidenced by the Independent Expert

(d) For each arbitrable dispute the cost and expense of the arbitrators and arbitration proceeding (except for an Arbitrating Party's attorney's fees) shall be paid and shared by the Arbitrating Parties, unless the arbitrators assess such cost and expense unequally between the Arbitrating Parties.
(e) The decision of the arbitrators (i) may be entered as a judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) shall in no event modify, amend or supplement this Agreement in any manner. All arbitration conducted under this Article XV shall be in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent such rules do not conflict with the procedures herein set forth.

Notes:
- *
- Whenever
any definite amount (subject to CPI Adjustment or any other adjustment) is set forth on this chart as a payment for a certain category of expenses, such amount
(adjusted for CPI or as otherwise adjusted) shall be due and payable by Mall I Owner to H/C I Owner without regard to the amount actually incurred by H/C I Owner in respect of that category of
expenses (and thus, no Supporting Documentation pursuant to Section 3(e) of Article V shall be required to be provided in connection therewith).
- **
- All
specified amounts in Schedule II shall be appropriately pro-rated for 2004 (except for purposes of calculating future CPI Adjustments).
- ***
- "CPI
ADJUSTMENT," as used on this Schedule II, shall be calculated as follows: Each specified dollar amount that is subject to CPI Adjustment shall be adjusted as of the
first day of each Accounting Period, beginning with the 2005 Accounting Period, by multiplying such dollar amount (as it may have previously been adjusted pursuant to this sentence) by the percentage
that is the sum of (x) one hundred percent (100%), plus (y) one hundred percent (100%) of the CPI Increase (as defined in the following sentence); provided, however that no such adjustment shall result in any dollar amount being less than the amount
set forth on Schedule II. "CPI INCREASE" shall mean the percentage increase or decrease, if any, that has occurred in the CPI from the calendar month which is sixteen months prior to the calendar
month in which the applicable Accounting Period begins to the calendar month which is four months prior to the calendar month in which the applicable Accounting Period begins. (For example, if a CPI
Adjustment is being calculated for the Accounting Period that begins January 1, 2007, the CPI Increase would be the percentage increase that has occurred in the CPI from September, 2005 to
September, 2006). As so adjusted, such amount will be utilized until the next CPI Adjustment is calculated as of the first day of the next Accounting Period. "CPI" shall mean the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, U.S. City Average, All Items 1982-1984=100, or any successor thereto appropriately
adjusted. If the Consumer Price Index ceases to be published, and there is no successor thereto, such other index as the Owners reasonably agree upon (or, if they cannot so agree, such other index as
the Independent Expert shall determine in accordance with Section 16 of Article XIV), as appropriately adjusted, shall be substituted for the Consumer Price Index.

1. Persons using either the Phase I Automobile Parking Area or the Phase II Automobile Parking Area, as the case may be, for parking (each a "USER") pursuant to the easement created under the Second Amended and Restated Reciprocal Easement, Use and Operating Agreement to which these rules and regulations are attached (the "REA": capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the REA) shall comply with any parking identification system established by H/C I Owner with respect to the Phase I Automobile Parking Area or H/C II Owner with respect to the Phase II Automobile Parking Area (each, an "OWNER OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE SITE"), as the case may be, or its parking operator; provided that in no event shall such parking identification system deprive any Owner of its Minimum Parking Standards.

Parking stickers, parking cards, or other identification devices supplied by the Owner of the Parking Structure Site shall remain the property of the Owner of the Parking Structure Site. Such devices must be displayed as requested and may not be mutilated in any manner. Each User shall pay a reasonable deposit to the Owner of the Parking Structure Site or its parking operator for each such device issued to it. Such deposit shall be paid at the time the device is issued and shall be forfeited if the device is lost. Such deposit shall be returned without interest at the time the User holding the device ceases to utilize the Parking Structure. Such devices shall not be transferable, and any such device in the possession of an unauthorized holder may be retained by the Owner of the Parking Structure Site and declared void. Upon the suspension or the termination of parking privileges, all parking identification devices supplied by the Owner of the Parking Structure Site shall be returned to the Owner of the Parking Structure Site.
2. The Owner of the Parking Structure Site or its parking operator shall from time to time provide the Owners with the respective number of such devices reasonably requested in writing by the respective Owners of such Site, it being understood that the number of devices requested may exceed the respective number of Parking Spaces which such Owner is authorized to use pursuant to the REA; provided, however that (a) if an Owner (and/or its tenants, employees or invitees), without the prior written consent of the Owner of the Parking Structure Site (or such Owner's parking operator), at any time uses the devices to occupy more than the number of Parking Spaces then authorized to be used by said Owner (and/or its tenants, employees or invitees) pursuant to the REA, thereafter the Owner of the Parking Structure Site shall have the right to confiscate from such Owner the number of devices equal to the number of Parking Spaces by which such Owner's occupancy exceeded the number of Parking Spaces then authorized to be used by the Owner (and/or its tenants, employees or invitees) pursuant to the REA.
3. Loss or theft of parking identification devices must be reported immediately to the Owner of the Parking Structure Site or its parking operator, and a report of such loss or theft must be filed by the User at that time. Any parking identification device reported lost or stolen that is found on any unauthorized vehicle will be confiscated and the illegal holder will be subject to prosecution.
4. User shall obey all signs and shall park only in areas designed for vehicle parking within painted stall lines. Parking Spaces are for the express purpose of parking one automobile per space. Parking Spaces shall be used only for parking vehicles no longer than full-sized passenger automobiles.

If no speed limit is posted for an area of the Parking Structure, the speed limit shall be five (5) miles per hour. Users shall not permit any vehicle that belongs to or is controlled by a User, its agents, employees, invitees, licensees and visitors, to be loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those designated by the Owner of the Parking Structure Site or its parking operator for such activities.

Reserved Parking Spaces shall be clearly and prominently marked as such by the Owner of the Parking Structure Site. Neither the Owner of the Parking Structure Site nor its parking operator shall be liable or responsible for the failure of Users to observe such markings or to obey other rules and regulations, agreements, laws or ordinances applicable to the Automobile Parking Areas. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Owner of the Parking Structure Site shall not be obligated to tow any violator's vehicle, or to take any other action on account of any such failure.
6. The Owner of the Parking Structure Site shall be solely responsible for the Maintenance (as such term is defined in the REA) and operation of the applicable Automobile Parking Area.

7. The Automobile Parking Area shall be accessible 24 hours a day. After normal business hours, the Automobile Parking Area may be protected by security gates operated by access cards in order to maintain the security of the Automobile Parking Area.
8. H/C I Owner and/or H/C II Owner, as the case may be, may enter into agreements from time to time with the other Owners restricting the rights of employees of Tenants of such other Owners to park in the Automobile Parking Areas.
9. Nothing set forth in these Parking Rules is intended to deprive any Owner of its Minimum Parking Standards. Any conflict between any provision of these Parking Rules and any provision of the REA shall be resolved in favor of the REA.
EXHIBIT Z
"Tenant acknowledges that Landlord and the [insert name of H/C I Owner] ("CASINO OWNER") and their affiliates are businesses that are or may be subject to privileged licenses issued by governmental authorities relating to casino gaming ("GAMING AUTHORITIES"). If a corporation, Tenant shall disclose the names of all officers and directors of Tenant, and unless a publicly traded corporation on a national stock exchange, Tenant shall disclose to Landlord and Casino Owner all ownership interests in Tenant and all lenders or sources of financing. If requested to do so by Landlord or Casino Owner, Tenant shall obtain any license, qualification, clearance or the like which shall be requested or required of Tenant by any Gaming Authority or any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Landlord or Casino Owner or any affiliate of either. If Tenant fails to satisfy such requirement or if Landlord or Casino Owner or any affiliate of either is directed to cease business with Tenant by any such authority, or if Landlord or Casino Owner shall in good faith determine, in its reasonable judgment, that Tenant, or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, designees or representatives, or partner, owner, member, or shareholder, or any lender or financial participant (a) is or might be engaged in, or is about to be engaged in, any activity or activities, or (b) was or is involved in any relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize such party's business, reputation or such licenses, or those of its affiliates, or if any such license is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked, then Tenant shall immediately (i) terminate any relationship with the individual or entity which is the source of the problem, or (ii) cease the activity creating the problem. If Tenant does not comply with item (i) or (ii) above, then Landlord or Casino Owner (x) may require Tenant to specifically perform such obligation (the parties recognizing that damages or other remedies would be inadequate under the circumstances) or (y) may terminate this Lease without liability to either party; provided, however if any matter described herein is reasonably susceptible to cure, Tenant shall have a reasonable time within which to effect such cure (but in no event longer than the time available to fully comply with any requirement imposed by any Gaming Authority or any other Requirement) and neither Landlord nor Casino Owner shall have the right to terminate this Lease during such cure period."
