Upon the inclusion of any newly built or acquired facilities by Owner at the Resort;
-6-
or if and when any such Third-Party Operator is terminated or the applicable Third-Party Operating Agreement expires and is not renewed (“Available Areas”), Manager shall have the right to elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to have any and/or all of the Available Areas operated by (a) Manager or an Affiliate of Manager, or (b) one or more Third-Party Operators; provided that Manager shall manage the process of selecting any Third-Party Operators, including the right to conduct a request for proposal to select the Third-Party Operators; provided, finally, any lease, operating agreement, franchise agreement or similar agreement with a Third-Party Operator shall be negotiated by Manager and shall, at a minimum, be consistent with the terms of this Agreement and require the Third-Party Operator(s) to operate the Third-Party Operated Area(s) in a manner and at a level of quality equal to the Operating Standard.

2.3 Other Operations of Manager.
2.3.1 Operation of Other Managed Resorts. Owner acknowledges that it has selected Manager to Operate the Manager Operated Areas on behalf of Owner in substantial part because of Manager’s management and operation of a chain of first-class hotels and resorts. Owner further acknowledges that it has determined, on an overall basis, that the benefits of (a) utilizing Manager’s expertise, especially in the Las Vegas market; and (b) having the Resort operated as part of the Managed Resorts are substantial, notwithstanding that all hotels owned, operated and/or managed by Manager might not benefit equally. Owner acknowledges that Manager and/or its Affiliates presently own and manage various hotel and casino properties around the world including those located within the State of Nevada and in Las Vegas (i.e., Caesars Palace, Paris Las Vegas, Xxxxxx’x Las Vegas, Flamingo Las Vegas, Rio, Bally’s Las Vegas, Bill’s Xxxxxxx’ Hall and Saloon and Imperial Palace), which may directly or indirectly compete with the business of the Hotel. Owner further acknowledges that in certain respects all hotels and casinos compete on a national, regional and local basis with other hotels and casinos, and that conflicts may, from time to time, arise between the Hotel and the Casino and/or the Resort and the Other Managed Resorts. Accordingly, Owner shall have no right to object to and hereby waives any conflict in the ownership and Operation by Manager or its Affiliates of any and all Other Managed Resorts. In furtherance of the foregoing, Manager shall have no obligation to minimize conflict between the Resort and the Other Managed Resorts but intends to proceed, in its Operation of the Manager Operated Areas and in the operation and management of the Other Managed Resorts, in a good faith manner and in a manner reasonably deemed to serve the overall best interests, on a long term basis, of the Managed Resorts as a group. The Parties agree that this Section 2.3 shall constitute the entirety of Manager’s obligations with respect to any such potential conflicts of interest regarding competition between the Hotel and the Casino and/or the Resort and the Other Managed Resorts.
-7-
2.3.2 Placement Rights. Manager and its Affiliates shall have the right to include the Resort in marketing programs (including any marketing program included as part of Centralized Services and any specific marketing program for the Resort) carried out in conjunction with the Other Managed Resorts and, as more specifically described in Section 2.1.2 above, promote and/or advertise its Other Managed Resorts at the Resort including, without limitation, using any Harrah’s Trade Name and/or Harrah’s Trademarks. Manager shall advertise the Resort in a manner which is not materially different than Paris Las Vegas (“Paris”) (or, should HOC or its Affiliate no longer manage Paris, to Other Managed Resorts in Las Vegas (excluding Caesars Palace)).
ARTICLE III.

3.5 Payment of Fees and Expenses.
3.5.1 Due Dates. The Operating Fees, Reimbursable Expense and Centralized Services Charges shall be due to Manager within ten (10) days after Owner’s receipt of an invoice evidencing the current amount of Operating Fees, Reimbursable Expenses and/or Centralized Services Charges due and owing for the period set forth in the respective invoice (the “Invoice Period”) including, but not limited to, any outstanding unpaid amounts owed to Manager from prior Invoice Periods.

3.5.3 Place and Means of Payment. All fees and other amounts due to Manager or its Affiliates under this Agreement shall be paid to Manager in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the location(s) specified by Manager from time to time. Subject to the requirements of the then existing Financing Documents, Manager may pay such fees and other amounts owed to Manager or its Affiliates directly from the Operating Account, and if (a) sufficient funds are not then available in the Operating Account; and (b) Owner does not provide sufficient funds therefor pursuant to, and within ten (10) days following, any Operating Funds Request made by Manager in accordance with Section 5.5.4, Manager shall have the right to pay such amounts from the Reserve Fund, in which case Owner shall replenish the Reserve Fund in the amount of such withdrawal by Manager in accordance with the foregoing within thirty (30) days following Manager’s delivery of notice thereof to Owner. In addition, Manager may require that any such payments be effected through electronic debit/credit transfer of funds programs specified by Manager from time to time, and Owner agrees to execute such documents (including independent transfer authorizations), pay such fees and costs and do such things as Manager reasonably deems necessary to effect such transfers of funds.

If any such tax that is based upon gross income or revenues is imposed upon Manager for the receipt of any payments under this ARTICLE III, then the amount due from Owner hereunder shall be increased such that the net amount retained by and/or paid to Manager, after payment of such tax, equals the amount originally due to Manager pursuant to this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV.
CENTRALIZED SERVICES
4.1 Centralized Services. Owner acknowledges that (a) certain centralized services are provided or made available to a majority of the Other Managed Resorts (the “Centralized Services”); and (b) the Centralized Services are an essential element in maintaining uniformity in the operation of the Other Managed Resorts, as applicable. Manager shall provide Centralized Services to the Resort in a manner which is not materially different than those provided to the Other Managed Hotels in Las Vegas. Any Centralized Services to be provided under this Agreement may be provided by Manager, HOC or an Affiliate of either of them, or at locations other than the Manager Operated Areas, or by a third-party designated by Manager, HOC or an Affiliate of either of them (the “Third-Party Centralized Services”). Owner and Manager acknowledge and agree that the Manager Operated Areas shall participate in all Centralized Services as determined by Manager, and Owner shall pay all Centralized Services Charges for, and comply with all terms and requirements of, such Centralized Services (subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 regarding the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas).
-10-
4.2 Centralized Services Charges.
4.2.1 Calculation of Centralized Services Charges. The amounts charged to the Manager Operated Areas for the Centralized Services (the “Centralized Services Charges”) shall be determined as follows: the sum of (a) such amounts that have been historically “allocated” to the Other Managed Resorts will continue to be done in a manner consistent with past practices, and (b) such amounts that have been historically “unallocated” and incurred in performance of the Centralized Services and fairly and equitably allocated to the Resort on the same basis as such amounts are determined for substantially all of the Other Managed Resorts that are participating in such Centralized Services, and may include amounts reasonably calculated to cover the overhead and other costs incurred by Manager, HOC or their Affiliates (as applicable) in providing (or arranging for the provision of) such Centralized Services, including, but not limited to: (i) compensation and employee benefits of Corporate Personnel directly involved in providing the Centralized Services; (ii) recovery of development costs and promotion costs for such Centralized Services; (iii) costs of equipment employed in providing the Centralized Services; and (iv) costs of operating, maintaining and upgrading the Centralized Services. In addition, Owner shall pay all costs for the installation and maintenance of any equipment and Technology Systems at the Manager Operated Areas used in connection with the Centralized Services. Manager, its Affiliates and any third-party providing any Centralized Services shall have the right to increase or decrease any or all of the Centralized Services Charges from time to time, upon notice to Owner, provided that any such changes in the Centralized Services Charges are applied to a majority of the Other Managed Resorts.
4.2.2 Allocation of Costs. Owner acknowledges that from time to time there might be a current surplus or current deficit of funds for any one (1) or more Centralized Services, and that any retention of funds for use at a later date (including interest earned thereon) shall not constitute a profit. Owner acknowledges that the Centralized Services Charges for Third-Party Centralized Services may include a profit component to such third-party.
4.2.3 Right to Pay Third-Party Providers. Manager shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay (directly or through an Affiliate) any amounts due to a third-party for any Third-Party Centralized Services provided to the Manager Operated Areas, in which case, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such amounts shall be deemed to be Reimbursable Expenses for all purposes under this Agreement.
4.3 Modification of Centralized Services. Owner acknowledges that the Centralized Services are an integral part of Manager’s operation of the Other Managed Resorts and Manager needs the flexibility to modify the Centralized Services to respond to market trends, customer demands, economic conditions, technological advances and other factors affecting the operation of Other Managed Resorts, as they may change from time to time. Accordingly, Owner agrees that Manager shall have the right to (a) modify the structure, scope, delivery, fees, costs and terms of any Centralized Services; or (b) add a new, or discontinue an existing, Centralized Service, as Manager deems advisable from time to time so long as any such modifications and/or additions are substantially similar to those in effect at Other Managed Resorts in Las Vegas.

ARTICLE V.
OPERATION OF THE MANAGER OPERATED AREAS
5.1 Operating Plan.
5.1.1 Operating Plan. Owner and Manager acknowledge that there is an operating plan and budget currently in place at the Resort and the Parties agree that Manager shall Operate the Manager Operated Areas in accordance with such initial operating plan and budget and the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, on or before thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, Manager shall prepare an annual plan and budget for the first (1st) Operating Year for the Hotel and Casino, specifically, and the Manager Operated Areas, generally (the “Operating Plan”). On or before October 1 of each Operating Year thereafter, Manager shall prepare and deliver to Owner, for its review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), a proposed Operating Plan for the next Operating Year. Owner shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the proposed Operating Plan to approve the proposed Operating Plan. In the event Owner fails to notify Manager of its approval or rejection of the proposed Operating Plan within such thirty (30) day period, such proposed Operating Plan shall be deemed approved. The Parties acknowledge that Manager’s ability to prepare a complete Operating Plan will depend in part on Owner’s provision of a budget of any expenses to be allocated to the Manager Operated Areas from other portions of the Resort. Accordingly, if Owner does not provide such a budget to Manager for any Operating Year, in the time and manner contemplated herein, and if, as a result of such delay, Manager is not able by October 1, to include in the Operating Plan for any Operating Year the final budget of such allocated expenses, then, until such final budget of allocated expenses is so established and included in the Operating Plan, the prior year’s Operating Plan shall apply; provided, however, that such Operating Plan shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Costs, utilities expenses, union wage adjusts and any other non-discretionary cost or expense required to be paid to continue the operation of the Manager Operated Areas in the normal course.
5.1.2 Operation in Accordance with Operating Plan. Manager shall use good faith efforts to operate the Manager Operated Areas in accordance with the Operating Plan for the applicable Operating Year. Nevertheless, the Parties acknowledge that preparation of the Operating Plan is inherently inexact and that Manager may vary from any Operating Plan to the extent Manager reasonably determines that such variance is required for compliance with the Operating Standard.
5.1.3 Exceptions to Operating Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 5.1.2, Owner acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a) The amount of certain expenses provided for in the Operating Plan for any Operating Year will vary based on the occupancy and use of the Manager Operated Areas and, accordingly, to the extent that occupancy and use of the Manager Operated Areas for any Operating Year exceeds the occupancy and use projected in the Operating Plan for such Operating Year, such Operating Plan shall be deemed to include corresponding increases in such variable expenses. To the extent that occupancy and use of the Manager Operated Areas for any Operating Year is materially less than the occupancy and use projected in the Operating Plan for such Operating Year, Manager will endeavor where appropriate (and to the extent feasible without compromising the Operating Standard) to make commercially reasonable adjustments to the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas in an effort to reduce such variable expenses.
-12-
(b) The amount of certain expenses provided for in the Operating Plan for any Operating Year is not within the ability of Manager to control, including real estate and personal property taxes, utility rates, insurance premiums, license and permit fees and certain charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement, and accordingly, subject to the requirements of the then existing Financing Documents, Manager shall have the right to pay from the Operating Account all such uncontrollable expenses without reference to the amounts provided for with respect thereto in the Operating Plan for such Operating Year. Similarly, Manager shall have the right to pay from the Operating Account any expenses allocated to the Manager Operated Areas from other portions of the Resort, without reference to the amounts provided for with respect thereto in the Operating Plan for such Operating Year.
(c) If any expenditures are required to address any: (i) actual or potential life/safety issues at the Resort or (ii) actual or potential violations of any Applicable Laws that (A) are not included in the Operating Plan and (B) are of a nature such that a prudent owner/operator of a hotel and casino resort similar to the Resort would not delay incurring such expenditure, Manager shall have the right to make such expenditures, whether or not provided for or within the amounts provided for in the Operating Plan for the Operating Year in question. Such expenditures shall be treated as Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures, as otherwise determined in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that Manager may initially make such expenditure out of the Reserve Fund, and Owner shall replenish the Reserve Fund in the amount of such withdrawal within thirty (30) days after notice from Manager to Owner to do so.
(d) Manager and its Affiliates have an institutional policy of charitable giving through, among other methods, the Harrah’s Foundation and to local causes and needs. Owner agrees that each Operating Plan shall include an amount for charitable contributions in amounts and in a manner designated by Manager consistent with the participation of the Other Managed Resorts.
5.1.4 Modification to Operating Plan. Manager shall have the right, from time to time, during each Operating Year to propose modifications to the Operating Plan then in effect based on actual operations during the elapsed portion of the applicable Operating Year and Manager’s judgment as to what will transpire during the remainder of such Operating Year. Owner shall have the right to review and approve (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) any material modifications to the Operating Plan. Owner shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of any such proposed material modifications to either grant its approval or provide Manager with written notice of its approval or rejection; provided, however, in the event Owner fails to notify Manager of its approval or rejection within such fifteen (15) day period, such proposed material modifications shall be deemed approved. In no event shall Owner have the right to withhold its approval to any material modifications on account of changes to costs of insurance premiums, operating supplies and equipment, charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement and/or such other amounts that are not within Manager’s ability to control (e.g., taxes, assessments, utilities, license and/or permit fees, inspection fees and any impositions imposed by any Governmental Authority).

5.2 Maintenance and Repair: Capital Improvements.
5.2.1 Required Maintenance and Repair and Capital Improvements. Without limiting any right of Manager hereunder, Manager, at Owner’s expense, shall have the authority to perform all ordinary maintenance and repair and all such Routine Capital Improvements and Building Capital Improvements (a) as Manager determines are necessary or advisable to keep the Manager Operated Areas in material compliance with the Operating Standard; (b) as Manager determines are necessary or advisable to comply with, and cure or prevent the violation of, any Applicable Laws; and (c) as otherwise provided in the applicable Operating Plan.
5.2.2 ROI Capital Improvements. Without limiting any right of Manager hereunder, Manager, at Owner’s expense, shall have the authority to perform all ROI Capital Improvements as are set forth in the applicable Operating Plan. Owner shall not make any ROI Capital Improvements or other capital improvements, without the prior written consent of Manager in each instance, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If, at any time during the Term, Manager determines that any capital improvement within the Resort does not, or when constructed will not, comply in all material respects with System Standards, Manager shall be entitled (but not obligated) to provide notice of such determination to Owner (a “System Standards Deficiency Notice”). Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any System Standards Deficiency Notice, Owner shall respond in detail to such allegation and, if the matter is not resolved by the Parties within thirty (30) days after Owner’s response, the determination of whether such capital improvement does not, or when constructed will not, comply in all material respects with the System Standards shall be submitted to the Expert for Expert Resolution in accordance with ARTICLE XVII. If the Expert determines that such capital improvement does not, or when constructed will not, comply with the System Standards, Owner shall promptly take such actions as the Expert shall require to bring such component into compliance with the System Standards. In furtherance of the foregoing;
(a) Owner represents and warrants to Manager that the Resort, as of the Effective Date, will meet the Physical Standards and that the Resort complies with the Physical Standards as required thereunder. With respect to the Operating Standards, Owner acknowledges and agrees that Manager and its Affiliates have the exclusive rights to modify the Operating Standards, from time to time, in Manager’s and its Affiliates’ sole discretion; and
(b) in the event of any change in Operating Standards or the Physical Standards (as required under the License Agreement) which would necessitate any Routine Capital Improvement or ROI Capital Improvement, Manager shall provide Owner with a written description of any material changes to the respective System Standards (the “System Standards Changes”) and, if available at such time, the estimated cost of such changes (which costs, in any event, shall be incorporated into the Operating Plan prepared for the next succeeding Operating Year), and Owner shall be obligated to fund any modifications, upgrades, replacement or introduction of computers (i.e., hardware and software), telecommunications and technology systems that are required for the Managed Resorts to interface with Manager and the Other
-14-
Managed Resorts (e.g., hardware and software needed for the operation of Manager’s reservations systems) in accordance with the policies or programs implemented by Manager for such items (including, without limitation, with respect to the timing of such implementation).
5.2.3 Compensation to Manager. In the event that Manager agrees to perform all supervisory services necessary to carry out ROI Capital Improvements (e.g., replacement of roof, driveways, elevators, HVAC, or that require other structural changes or alterations to the Resort, etc.), Manager shall be paid a market supervisory fee in connection therewith in an amount to be mutually agreed upon between Owner and Manager, and Manager shall have the authority to complete such ROI Capital Improvements. In the event Manager elects to have a third-party perform or supervise such ROI Improvements, such third-party shall be selected by Manager.
5.2.4 Remediation of Design or Construction Defect. If the design or construction of the Manager Operated Areas is defective, and the defective condition presents a risk of injury to persons or damage to the Manager Operated Areas or other property, or results in non-compliance with the System Standards or Applicable Law, then Manager shall have the authority to perform all work necessary to remedy such design or construction defect in the Manager Operated Areas. Owner acknowledges that such work shall be performed at Owner’s expense, that Owner may not use funds in the Operating Account or the Reserve Fund in remedying such defects, and that any amounts expended by Manager (and reimbursed by Owner) in effecting the remedy of such defect shall not be deducted in determining Adjusted GOR or Gross Operating Profit.

5.3.3 Labor Relations. Manager may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to negotiate with any labor unions representing the Operating Personnel and any collective bargaining agreement or labor contract resulting therefrom shall be executed by Manager or its Affiliate as the employer of the Operating Personnel. In addition, it is understood that Manager shall have the right to appoint labor counsel for any such labor negotiations.
5.3.4 Manager Personnel. Manager shall have the right to allocate the services and time of any Operating Personnel between the Manager Operated Areas and (a) Other Managed Resorts, and/or (b) the local, regional or central office(s) of Manager, its Parent Company and their respective Affiliates.

5.3.6 Non-Solicitation. Owner hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and their respective successors and assigns, and any Person acting for or on behalf of any of them, not to solicit the employment of any Operating Personnel, without Manager’s prior written consent, at any time during the Term or within twenty-four (24) months after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

5.5.1 Reserve Fund. Manager shall establish and maintain a reserve from Adjusted GOR or with funds provided by Owner under Section 5.5.2 or otherwise (the “Reserve Fund”) in order to facilitate the funding of Routine Capital Improvements and other amounts
-17-
expressly permitted to be funded from the Reserve Fund by the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the Financing Documents. Concurrently with the delivery of the Operating Report for the immediately preceding calendar quarter required pursuant to Section 10.2, Manager shall deposit into the Reserve Fund an amount equal to five percent (5%) of Adjusted GOR (the “Reserve Fund Contribution”); provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Manager withhold more than that which would be otherwise permitted under the then applicable Financing Documents. All interest earned in the Reserve Fund shall be added to the Reserve Fund, but shall not be credited against amounts required to be deposited in the Reserve Fund. At the end of each Operating Year, all amounts not expended from the Reserve Fund shall be carried forward to the next Operating Year, but shall not be credited against the amount of the Reserve Fund Contribution for any subsequent Operating Year. Owner acknowledges that setting aside the required amount of funds in the Reserve Fund does not guaranty that the Reserve Fund will supply sufficient funds to meet Owner’s obligations to fund all required Routine Capital Improvements, and that Owner shall remain responsible for providing any additional funds required to perform its obligations under this Section 5.5.1.
5.5.2 Use of Reserve Fund. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Financing Documents, the Reserve Fund shall be used solely for the purpose of funding Routine Capital Improvements (and not, for avoidance of doubt, Building Capital Improvements or ROI Capital Improvements). Manager shall notify Owner prior to the time that expenditures are made from the Reserve Fund that were not specifically included in the Operating Plan, except to the extent such prior notice is infeasible because of an emergency situation, in which event Manager shall notify Owner promptly after such expenditures are made.
5.5.3 Major Capital Improvement Reserve. Manager, at its election, may establish and maintain with those excess funds, if any, provided by Manager to Owner or Mortgagee under Section 5.4.4 (the “Major CapEx Reserve Fund”) in order to facilitate the funding of Building Capital Improvements and ROI Capital Improvements; provided, however, and notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event shall Manager withhold more than that which would be otherwise permitted under the then applicable Financing Documents. All interest earned in the Major CapEx Reserve Fund shall be added to the Major CapEx Reserve Fund, but shall not be credited against amounts required to be deposited in the Major CapEx Reserve Fund. At the end of each Operating Year, all amounts not expended from the Major CapEx Reserve Fund shall be carried forward to the next Operating Year. Owner acknowledges that Manager’s deposit of funds into the Major CapEx Reserve Fund does not guaranty that the Major CapEx Reserve Fund will supply sufficient funds to meet Owner’s obligations to make all requisite Building Capital Improvements and/or ROI Capital Improvements under this Agreement, and that Owner shall remain responsible for providing any additional funds required to perform its obligations under this Section 5.5.3.
5.5.4 Working Capital. Owner shall deposit into the Operating Account the initial Working Capital (as set forth in the Operating Plan) on or prior to the Effective Date. If Manager determines at any time during the Term that (a) the available funds in the Operating Account are insufficient or reasonably anticipated to be insufficient to allow for the uninterrupted and efficient operation of the Manager Operated Areas in accordance with this Agreement, or (b) the available funds in the Reserve Fund is insufficient to allow for payment of all Routine Capital Improvements, or Owner has not provided the necessary funds for such other Capital Expenditures
-18-
then contemplated in the Operating Plan or otherwise approved by Owner in writing or authorized under this Agreement, Manager shall notify Owner of the anticipated or actual amount of the shortfall (an “Operating Funds Request”), and Owner shall provide working funds to Manager to be deposited into the Operating Account within fifteen (15) days of Owner’s receipt of the Operating Funds Request. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Manager shall be excused from performance of any obligation under this Agreement if Owner fails to provide the required funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Owner does not deposit the funds requested by Manager in an Operating Funds Request, to the extent the funding of such additional funds is not being disputed by Owner in good faith, and provided that this Agreement is otherwise not subject to any Financing Documents which would prohibit the same, Manager (i) may withdraw such funds from the Reserve Fund; or (ii) to the extent that Manager is not authorized to withdraw funds from the Reserve Fund or the Reserve Fund contains insufficient amounts, Manager shall have the right (but not the obligation) to advance, on Owner’s behalf, (A) any Operating Expenses and (B) expenditures for Capital Expenditures then contemplated in the Operating Plan or otherwise authorized pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement. Owner shall reimburse such amounts to the Reserve Fund or to Manager, as applicable, within ten (10) business days following receipt of written notice from Manager of any such withdrawn or advanced amounts, together with interest thereon in the case of any advance by Manager. If Owner fails to reimburse Manager promptly upon demand by Manager, Manager shall have the right to reimburse itself from any available funds from the operation of the Manager Operated Areas (including the Operating Account and the Reserve Fund) for any such advanced amounts, together with interest thereon.
5.6 Purchasing. Manager or its Affiliates may, in its discretion, make centralized purchasing programs available to the Managed Resorts (whether on a national, regional, mandatory, optional or other basis) (each, a “Purchasing Program”). Manager shall make its Purchasing Program available to the Resort on terms not materially different that those offered to Other Managed Resorts in Las Vegas. Manager may elect, in its discretion, but subject to the terms of this Section 5.6, to purchase any FF&E and Supplies for the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas from a Purchasing Program maintained by Manager or its Affiliates, provided that Manager shall use reasonable efforts to ensure the total cost of goods and services (including any xxxx-up, expense, fees and/or other remuneration attributable to providing such services and net of any discounts or rebates which would have been available) determined as a whole and on an annual basis is generally on terms no less favorable to Owner than that which would be available through unrelated third-party vendors in an arm’s-length transaction. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Manager and its Affiliates shall have the right, from time to time, to (a) modify the fees, costs or terms of any such Purchasing Program, including adding FF&E and Supplies to, and deleting FF&E and Supplies from, such Purchasing Program; (b) terminate all or any portion of any such Purchasing Program; (c) subject to this Section 5.6, receive payments, fees, commissions or reimbursements from suppliers and third parties in respect of such purchases; and (d) subject to this Section 5.6, own or have investments in such suppliers.

INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
12.1 Insurance.
12.1.1 Insurance Policies. Owner, at its expense, shall obtain and maintain the insurance policies required under the Insurance Requirements set forth as Exhibit “I”. The insurance policies shall be effective upon the Effective Date and shall each name Manager as an additional insured. Owner acknowledges that Manager needs the flexibility to modify the Insurance Requirements to respond to insurance market trends, customer demands, economic conditions, technological advances and other factors affecting the hotel industry and its risks, as they may change from time to time. Accordingly, and without limiting the provisions of Section 12.1.5, Owner agrees that Manager shall have the right to modify the Insurance Requirements as Manager deems advisable from time to time, each such change to be implemented upon no less than sixty (60) days’ notice to Owner, provided that any such changes in the Insurance Requirements are applied to a majority of the Other Managed Resorts.
12.1.2 Insurance Program. Manager or its Affiliates may, in its discretion, make insurance programs available to Owner (the “Insurance Program”) on the same basis and for the same premium allocation methodology as for substantially all of the Other Managed Resorts. Owner shall have the right to elect to participate in the Insurance Program to the extent made available to Owner, or obtain such insurance policies from third-party insurers; provided, however, that as long as the Operating Personnel are the employees of Manager or its Affiliates, Manager shall have the right to require that Owner obtain any worker’s compensation, employer’s liability, crime and employment practices liability insurance policies through the Insurance Program. Owner acknowledges that (a) the premiums charged under the Insurance Program include certain third-party pass-through costs, such as brokers’ commissions and insurance services performed by third parties, and (b) some or all of the insurance in the Insurance Program may be provided by an Affiliate, and such Affiliate will have a profit or loss for its insurance business from time to time, depending on the amount of premiums received, and claims paid, by such Affiliates during the relevant period.
12.1.3 Evidence of Insurance. Owner (for insurance policies obtained through third-party insurers) and Manager (for insurance policies obtained through the Insurance Program) shall, at the other Party’s request, provide such requesting Party with certificates or other reasonably satisfactory insurance evidence confirming that the insurance policies comply with the Insurance Requirements.
12.1.4 Payment of Premiums. For all insurance policies contemplated by this Agreement, Owner shall have the sole and exclusive obligation to make all payments thereof, provided that Manager shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay premiums using funds from the Operating Account or to advance such funds and get reimbursed therefor as a Reimbursable Expense. For the avoidance of doubt, any additional insurance policies obtained by Owner that are not contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise approved by the Parties, shall not be funded from the Operating Account.
-30-
12.1.5 Review of Insurance. All insurance policy limits provided under this ARTICLE XII shall be reviewed by the Parties every three (3) years following the commencement of the Term, or sooner if reasonably requested by Owner or Manager, to determine the suitability of such insurance limits in view of exposures reasonably anticipated over the ensuing three (3) years.
12.2 Waiver of Liability.
12.2.1 WAIVER OF LIABILITY. AS LONG AS A PARTY AND ANY AFFILIATES REQUESTED BY SUCH PARTY ARE A NAMED INSURED OR ADDITIONAL INSURED UNDER THE OTHER PARTY’S INSURANCE POLICIES, OR THE POLICIES OTHERWISE PERMIT IF SUCH PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES ARE NOT SO NAMED, SUCH PARTY HEREBY RELEASES THE OTHER PARTY, AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR TRUSTEES, BENEFICIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, AND THE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING, FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, DAMAGE, LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE INCURRED BY THE RELEASING PARTY, WHETHER OR NOT DUE TO THE NEGLIGENT OR OTHER ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE PERSONS SO RELEASED TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY, DAMAGE, LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE IS COVERED BY THE INSURANCE POLICIES OF THE RELEASING PARTY, BUT ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS RECEIVED.
12.2.2 Reliance on Owner’s Advisors. Owner acknowledges that neither Manager nor any insurance broker that Manager or its Affiliates may retain makes any representation, warranty or guaranty whatsoever regarding (a) the advisability or sufficiency of the insurance required or obtained under this Agreement; (b) whether the insurance made available under the Insurance Program maintained by Manager or its Affiliates is sufficient to protect Owner, the Manager Operated Areas and its Operations against all liability, damage, loss, cost or expense that might be incurred; or (c) any other insurance that Owner should consider for the protection of Owner, the Manager Operated Areas and its Operations, and Owner agrees to rely exclusively on its own insurance advisors with respect to all insurance matters.
12.3 Indemnification.
12.3.1 Indemnification by Owner. Subject to Sections 12.3.3 and 12.3.4, Owner shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Manager and its Affiliates, and their respective shareholders, members, partners, trustees, beneficiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents, and the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Manager Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any and all Claims that any such party may have alleged against it, incur, become responsible for or pay out for any reason related to: (a) the design, construction, development, operation, or ownership of the Resort; (b) the Resort (whether directly or indirectly, in whole or in part) to the extent arising or occurring prior to or subsequent to the Effective Date; or (c) Manager’s remediation, abatement and/or correction efforts as may be exercised in connection with Manager’s rights under Section 5.9.2.
12.3.2 Indemnification by Manager. Subject to Sections 12.3.3 and 12.3.4, Manager shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Owner and its Affiliates, and their
-31-
respective shareholders, members, partners, trustees, beneficiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents, and the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Owner Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any and all Claims that any Owner Indemnified Party or Parties may incur, become responsible for, or pay out to the extent caused by Manager’s Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct.
12.3.3 Insurance Coverage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.3, the Parties shall look first to the appropriate insurance coverages in effect pursuant to this Agreement prior to seeking indemnification under this Section 12.3 in the event any claim or liability occurs as a result of injury to persons or damage to property, regardless of the cause of such claim or liability; provided, however, if the insurance company denies coverage or reserves rights as to coverage, then the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to seek indemnification, without first looking to such insurance coverage. In addition, nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall in any way affect the releases set forth in Section 12.2.1.
12.3.4 Indemnification Procedures. Any Indemnified Party shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, to the timely appointment of counsel by the Indemnifying Party for the defense of any Claim, which counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party. If, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, a material conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party at any time during the defense of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may appoint independent counsel of its choice for the defense of the Indemnified Party as to such Claim. In addition, regardless of whether the Indemnified Party has appointed counsel or selects independent counsel (a) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Claim and approve any proposed settlement of such Claim (unless such settlement involves only the payment of money, the Indemnifying Party pays all amounts due in connection with or by reason of such settlement and, as part thereof, the Indemnified Party is unconditionally released from all liability in respect of such Claim, in which case such approval shall not be required); and (b) all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to timely pay such costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such amounts and be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for the same, together with interest thereon in accordance with Section 3.5 until paid in full. The Parties hereby acknowledge that it shall not be a defense to a demand for indemnity that less than all Claims asserted against the Indemnified Party are subject to indemnification. If a Claim is covered by the Indemnifying Party’s liability insurance, the Indemnified Party shall not knowingly take or omit to take any action that would cause the insurer not to defend such Claim or to disclaim liability in respect thereof.
12.3.5 Survival. This Section 12.3 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII.
MORTGAGES
13.1 Mortgages Subject to Manager’s Approval. At any time after the Effective Date, subject to Section 13.4, Owner shall have the right to grant a Mortgage and/or Security

In furtherance of this obligation, Owner shall: (a) maintain title to the Manager Operated Areas free and clear of any encumbrances (other than Mortgages permitted hereunder) that would jeopardize Manager’s rights under this Agreement; (b) pay and discharge any charge, assessment, or imposition

In the event of such a Business Interruption Event, the Operating Fees and Centralized Services Charges shall be calculated based on reasonable projections of Adjusted GOR, Gross Operating Profit and EBITDAM that would have been generated had the Business Interruption Event not occurred. The projections regarding Adjusted GOR, Gross Operating Profit and EBITDAM shall be derived from then- accepted practices in the hotel and insurance industries for such matters, with due consideration given to the historical performance of the Manager Operated Areas, the Operating Plan for the Operating Year in which the business interruption occurred, and any financial projections for the Manager Operated Areas most recently prepared by Manager prior to the Business Interruption Event.
-34-

-35-
Casualty unless Owner provides written notice to Manager of Owner’s election to restore the Resort in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 15.1.1 notwithstanding such extent of such damage. If Owner or Manager does not provide such termination notice to the other within such time period, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Owner shall be obligated to perform the Restoration. In addition, Manager shall have the right to recover any Business Interruption Insurance proceeds (as contemplated in ARTICLE XIV) as a named insured, additional insured, loss payee or otherwise (with respect to the Manager Operated Areas) under any applicable insurance policy providing coverage for such Casualty, and Manager shall have the right to deal directly with any insurer to pursue its claim under such insurance policy.
15.1.2 Reinstatement of Agreement.

If this Agreement is terminated and then reinstated pursuant to this Section 15.1.2, then the Term shall be extended by the number of days between this Agreement’s earlier termination and effective date of its reinstatement (i.e., the date the Resort re-opens to the public for business following the Restoration).
15.2 Condemnation.
15.2.1 Restoration of Manager Operated Areas. If a Condemnation shall occur as to (a) the entire Manager Operated Areas or Resort; or (b) a portion of the Resort that makes it imprudent, unsuitable or commercially impractical to Operate the remaining portion of the Manager Operated Areas in accordance with the Operating Standard and the terms of this Agreement, then either Party may terminate this Agreement upon ninety (90) days’ notice to the other Party, without incurring any further liability or obligation to each other, except for those liabilities and obligations which expressly or by their nature survive the termination of this Agreement. If the Condemnation affects only a part of the Resort that does not make it imprudent, unsuitable or commercially impractical to Operate the remainder of the Manager Operated Areas in accordance with the Operating Standard and the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not terminate, and Owner, at its expense and with diligence, shall undertake a Restoration subject to and in accordance with the License Agreement and in compliance with the Operating Standard and as approved by Manager prior to such Restoration.
15.2.2 Condemnation Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manager shall have the right to institute or intervene in any available administrative proceeding or judicial
-36-
action intended to determine fair compensation for such Condemnation for the purpose of representing Manager’s compensable interest in any award for such Condemnation arising from this Agreement and Manager’s rights hereunder. Any award made to Owner that does not recognize the separate compensable interest of Manager shall be apportioned between the Parties in consideration of all relevant factors, including: (a) recoupment by Owner of its investment, (b) return on Owner’s investment to date, (c) actual loss of income (including Manager’s fee income hereunder), (d) loss of reasonably anticipated future income (including Manager’s fee income hereunder), (e) length of the unexpired term (including any renewals) of this Agreement, and/or (f) the proportion that the Operating Fees have historically related to the return to Owner after payment of such fees.

(b) any act or omission by Owner or for any reason not caused by the act or omission of Manager that causes the suspension for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, or any withdrawal or revocation of any material governmental license or permit (including liquor but excluding gaming licenses) required for Owner’s or Manager’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement or the operation of the Hotel in accordance with the terms hereof; or
