(b) Indemnification of Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors . Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each Subsidiary Guarantor and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and (ii) each person, if any, who controls the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, affiliates and agents of the Company, and Subsidiary Guarantor or person reference in clause (ii) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity in Section 6(a) from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus (including the Preliminary Prospectus), the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by an Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 6(f)).
-21-
(c) Indemnification Procedures . In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either Section 6(a) or 6(b), such person (the Indemnified Party ) shall promptly notify the person from whom such indemnity may be sought (the Indemnifying Party ) in writing ( provided that failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability under Section 6(a) or 6(b) to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement) and the Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party and any others the Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or different legal defenses available to them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representative, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Party shall have requested an Indemnifying Party to reimburse the Indemnified Party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the first and second sentences of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 90 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
(d) Contribution . To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnified Party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Notes, or (ii) if the allocation provided by Section 6(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
-22-
the relative benefits referred to in Section 6(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Notes shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts or commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Price to Public of the Notes. The relative fault of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors or by the Underwriters and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Notes they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(e) The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 6(d) . The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not liable for any such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Party at law or in equity. The obligations of the Underwriters to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder, and not joint.
(f) It is understood and agreed that the only information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: paragraph three (first sentence only), paragraph eight (third sentence only) and paragraph nine (first, second and third sentences only) under the caption Underwriting.
SECTION 7. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery . All representations, warranties and agreements, including indemnity and contribution provisions, contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the delivery of the Securities to the Underwriters.

(b) Liabilities . If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof. Notwithstanding any such termination, the provisions of Section 6 shall remain in effect.

(b) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the Notes, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.
No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default. In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term Underwriter includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section.

3. The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Company and the Covered Subsidiaries.
4. The Indenture (including the Guarantees provided for therein) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Company and the Covered Subsidiaries, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, enforceable against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with its terms, except (a) as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors rights generally; (b) as the enforceability thereof is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including (i) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy, and (ii) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing; and (c) in the case of rights to indemnity, as may be limited by law or public policy.
5. The Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, when authenticated by the Trustee under the Indenture and issued and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will be legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except in each case: (a) as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors rights generally; and (b) as the enforceability thereof is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including (i) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy, and (ii) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

| the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated H.15(519) or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption Treasury Constant Maturities, for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life (as defined below), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or |
| if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. |
The Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be calculated by an Independent Investment Banker on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date or, in the case of a satisfaction and discharge or a defeasance, on the third Business Day prior to the date on which the Company deposits the amount required under this Sixth Supplemental Indenture most nearly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Maturity Date.
Comparable Treasury Issue means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such securities ( Remaining Life ).
Comparable Treasury Price means (1) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
Independent Investment Banker means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.
Reference Treasury Dealer means any primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City selected by the Company.

SECTION 4.2. Mandatory Disposition of Notes Pursuant to Gaming Laws .
Each Holder and beneficial owner, by accepting or otherwise acquiring an interest in the Notes, shall be deemed to have agreed that if the Gaming Authority of any jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries conducts or proposes to conduct gaming activities requires that a Person who is a Holder or beneficial owner must be licensed, qualified or found suitable under the applicable Gaming Laws, such Holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability within the required time period in accordance with such Gaming Laws. If such Person fails to apply or become licensed or qualified or is found unsuitable (a Disqualified Holder ), then the Company shall have the right, at its option, notwithstanding any other provision of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture:
(i) to require such Person to dispose of its Notes or beneficial interest therein within 30 calendar days of receipt of notice of the Companys election or such earlier date as may be requested or prescribed by such Gaming Authority; or
(ii) to redeem such Notes, which Redemption Date may be less than 30 calendar days following the notice of redemption if so requested or prescribed by the Gaming Authority, at a redemption price equal to:
(1) the lesser of:
(a) the Persons cost, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the earlier of the Redemption Date or the date of the finding of unsuitability or failure to comply; and
(b) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the earlier of the Redemption Date or the date of the finding of unsuitability or failure to comply; or
(2) such other amount as may be required by applicable Gaming Laws or by order of any Gaming Authority.
The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any such Disqualified Holder status or redemption as soon as practicable. The Company shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses any such Holder or beneficial owner may incur in connection with its application for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, immediately upon the imposition of a requirement to dispose of Notes by a Gaming Authority, such Person shall, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, have no further right (i) to exercise, directly or indirectly, through any trustee, nominee or any other person or entity, any right conferred by such Notes or (ii) to receive any interest, dividends or any other distributions or payments with respect to such Notes or any remuneration in any form with respect to such Notes from the Company or the Trustee, except the redemption price.
-9-
SECTION 4.3. Optional Redemption Procedures .
(a) The provisions of Article XII of the Base Indenture shall apply in the case of a redemption pursuant to Article Four solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes; provided that this Section 4.3 shall not become part of the terms of any other series of Securities:
(i) the first sentence of Section 1203 in the Base Indenture shall be superseded by the following language:
If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, in accordance with the applicable Depository Trust Company procedures; provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.;
(ii) clause (2) of the second paragraph of Section 1204 of the Base Indenture shall be superseded by the following language:
(2) the Redemption Price (or how the Redemption Price will be calculated if not a fixed amount or subject to change); and
(iii) the following language shall be added after the end of the final paragraph of Section 1204 of the Base Indenture:
A notice of redemption may provide that the optional redemption described in such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of certain events before the Redemption Date. Such notice of conditional redemption will be of no effect unless all such conditions to the redemption have occurred before the Redemption Date or have been waived by the Company. If any of such events fail to occur and are not waived by the Company, the Company shall be under no obligation to redeem the Notes or pay the Holders any redemption proceeds and the Companys failure to redeem the Notes shall not be considered a default or an Event of Default. In the event that any of such conditions fail to occur and are not waived by the Company, the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing that the conditions precedent to such redemption have failed to occur and the Notes will not be redeemed.
ARTICLE FIVE
COVENANTS
Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to the benefit of all covenants in Article X of the Base Indenture and the following additional covenants, which shall be deemed to be provisions of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes, provided that this Article Five shall not become a part of the terms of any other series of Securities:
SECTION 5.1. Limitation on Liens .
(a) Other than as provided in Section 5.1(c) below, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor will, directly or indirectly, issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness secured by a Lien upon any Principal Property or on any evidences of Indebtedness or shares of capital stock of, or other ownership interests in, any Subsidiaries that own any Principal Property (regardless of whether the
-10-
Principal Property, Indebtedness, capital stock or ownership interests were acquired before or after the date hereof) without effectively providing that all of the Notes or Guarantees then outstanding, as the case may be, shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the Indebtedness so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured, except that this restriction will not apply to:
(i) Liens existing on the date of original issuance of the Notes;
(ii) Liens affecting property of a corporation or other entity existing at the time it becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor or at the time it is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor (provided that such Liens do not extend to or cover property of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor other than property of the entity so acquired or which becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor);
(iii) Liens (including purchase money Liens) existing at the time of acquisition thereof on property acquired after the date hereof or to secure Indebtedness Incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 24 months after the acquisition for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase price of property acquired after the date hereof (provided that such Liens do not extend to or cover any property of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor other than the property so acquired);
(iv) Liens on any property to secure all or part of the cost of improvements or construction thereon or Indebtedness Incurred to provide funds for such purpose in a principal amount not exceeding the cost of such improvements or construction;
(v) Liens which secure Indebtedness of a Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or to a Subsidiary Guarantor or which secure Indebtedness of the Company to a Subsidiary Guarantor;
(vi) Liens on the stock, partnership or other equity interest of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor in any Joint Venture or any Subsidiary which owns an equity interest in such Joint Venture to secure Indebtedness, provided the amount of such Indebtedness is contributed and/or advanced solely to such Joint Venture;
(vii) Liens to government entities, including pollution control or industrial revenue bond financing;
(viii) Liens required by any contract or statute in order to permit the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company to perform any contract or subcontract made by it with or at the request of a governmental entity;
(ix) mechanics, materialmans, carriers or other like Liens, arising in the ordinary course of business;
(x) Liens for taxes or assessments and similar charges;
(xi) zoning restrictions, easements, licenses, covenants, reservations, restrictions on the use of real property and other minor irregularities of title;
(xii) Liens on any short-term or interim Indebtedness intended to be assumed by MGP or one of its Subsidiaries in connection with an acquisition by MGP or one of its Subsidiaries of the property securing such Indebtedness, provided that such Indebtedness is assumed by MGP or one of its Subsidiaries within fifteen (15) days of its initial incurrence by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor; and
-11-
(xiii) any extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of any Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted by any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (xii) (provided that, in the case of clause (xii), any extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of any Indebtedness referred to in clause (xii) is assumed by MGP or one of its Subsidiaries as set forth therein).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) if any of the Existing Senior Notes are hereafter secured by any Liens on any of the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (the Initial Liens ), then the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall, substantially concurrently with the granting of such Liens, subject to such Liens having been approved by all applicable Gaming Authorities to the extent the Gaming Laws of the applicable jurisdiction require such approval, grant perfected Liens in the same collateral to secure the Notes (or Guarantees, as the case may be), equally, ratably and on a pari passu basis (the Pari Passu Liens ). The Pari Passu Liens granted pursuant to this provision shall be (A) granted concurrently with the granting of any such Liens, and (B) granted pursuant to instruments, documents and agreements which are no less favorable to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes than those granted to secure the Existing Senior Notes. In connection with the granting of any such Liens, the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall provide to the Trustee (y) policies of title insurance on customary terms and conditions, to the extent that policies of title insurance on the corresponding property are provided to the Holders of the Existing Senior Notes or their respective trustee (and in an insured amount that bears the same proportion to the principal amount of the Notes as the insured amount in the policies provided to the holders of the Existing Senior Notes bears to the aggregate outstanding amount of the Existing Senior Notes), and (z) legal opinions and other assurances as the Trustee may reasonably request; and
(ii) if the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors become entitled to the release of any Initial Liens securing the Existing Senior Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees related thereto, and provided that no Default or Event of Default has then occurred and remains continuing, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may in their sole discretion request that the collateral agent release any such Lien securing the Notes, the Existing Senior Notes and such other notes and guarantees, and in such circumstances the collateral agent (or the Trustee) shall so release such Initial Liens.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may create, assume or suffer to exist Liens not otherwise permitted as described above, provided that at the time of such incurrence, assumption or sufferance, after giving effect to such Lien, the sum of outstanding Indebtedness secured by such Liens (not including Liens permitted under Section 5.1(a) above) plus all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions entered into (not including Sale and Lease-Back Transactions permitted under Section 5.2(a) below), measured, in each case, at the time the Lien is incurred, does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets and Liens securing Indebtedness in excess of such amount to the extent such Lien is incurred in connection with an extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of Indebtedness (not to exceed the principal amount of such extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced Indebtedness plus fees, expenses and premium payable thereon) secured by a Lien incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1(c) or any previous extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of any such Indebtedness (which extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced Indebtedness shall, for the avoidance of doubt, thereafter be included in the calculation of such amount), provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Liens that may at any time secure any of the Existing Senior Notes.
-12-
SECTION 5.2. Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions .
(a) Other than as provided in Section 5.2(b) below, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor will enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, unless either:
(i) the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions described in clauses (i) through (xiii) of Section 5.1(a) above, to create, assume or suffer to exist a Lien on the property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Notes; or
(ii) an amount equal to the greater of the net cash proceeds of such sale or the fair market value of such property (in the good faith opinion of an officer of the Company) is applied within 120 days to the retirement or other discharge of its Funded Debt.
(b) Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 (a), the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor may enter into Sale and Lease-Back Transactions not otherwise permitted as described above, provided that at the time of entering into such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, after giving effect to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction, the sum of outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens (not including Liens permitted under Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) above) plus all Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Lease-Back Transactions entered into (not including Sale and Lease-Back Transactions permitted under Section 5.2(a) above), measured, in each case, at the time any such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction is entered into, does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets and Liens securing Indebtedness in excess of such amount to the extent such Lien is incurred in connection with an extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing of Indebtedness (not to exceed the principal amount of such extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced Indebtedness plus fees, expenses and premium payable thereon) secured by a Lien incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.2(b) or any previous extension, renewal or replacement or refinancing of any such Indebtedness (which extended, renewed, replaced or refinanced Indebtedness shall, for the avoidance of doubt, thereafter be included in the calculation of such amount), provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Liens that may at any time secure any of the Existing Senior Notes.
SECTION 5.3. Guarantee .
(a) The Company shall (i) cause each domestic Subsidiary of the Company that is a guarantor of Reference Indebtedness (other than Elgin Sub, unless and until Illinois Gaming Approval is obtained, and, with respect to MDDC and MDDHC, unless and until New Jersey Gaming Approval is obtained) to become on the Issue Date or, if such Subsidiary was not a guarantor of Reference Indebtedness as of the Issue Date but thereafter becomes a guarantor of Reference Indebtedness (whether or not such Subsidiary is acquired or created after the Issue Date) and is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary ), at the time such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary guarantees any Reference Indebtedness, a guarantor of the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes by executing this Indenture (directly, by supplemental indenture or by a joinder agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit II) as a Subsidiary Guarantor or by executing a Guarantee pursuant to Section 1102 of the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this Sixth Supplemental Indenture; provided that any newly created or acquired Subsidiary that requires approval from a Gaming Authority in order to execute and deliver a Guarantee shall not be required to execute and deliver such Guarantee unless and until it receives the required approval from the applicable Gaming Authority, and
-13-
shall execute and deliver the Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3(a) upon receipt of approval from the applicable Gaming Authority; and provided further that the provision of a Guarantee by a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary after the Issue Date shall be subject to compliance with any applicable Gaming Laws and the Company agrees that (subject to Section 5.3(b)) it shall not have any such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary become a guarantor of Reference Indebtedness unless it is permitted to give such Guarantee under applicable Gaming Laws); and (ii) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such Guarantee is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to customary exceptions for bankruptcy, fraudulent transfer and equitable principles.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt with respect to any Subsidiary existing on the Issue Date that has executed this Sixth Supplemental Indenture as of the Issue Date but is required to obtain regulatory approval from a Gaming Authority in order to guarantee the Companys obligations under this Sixth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes (including Illinois Gaming Approval, with respect to Elgin Sub, and New Jersey Gaming Approval, with respect to MDDC and MDDHC), such Subsidiary shall not have any liability for, or be subject to any obligation to guarantee, the Companys obligations under this Sixth Supplemental Indenture or the Notes unless and until such Subsidiary receives regulatory approval from the applicable Gaming Authority. Upon the receipt of such regulatory approval from the applicable Gaming Authority, such Subsidiary shall immediately and automatically, without any further action by such Subsidiary or by the Company, be and become a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes under this Sixth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, subject to, without limitation, all liabilities and obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors described under Section 1101 of the Indenture with respect to the Notes.
(b) The actions set forth in Section 5.3(a) hereof shall be taken within 10 days of the time on which any Person is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to such Section 5.3(a), provided that if such Person is not permitted to give a Guarantee under applicable Gaming Laws, then, such 10-day period shall be extended as long as necessary for the Company to, and the Company shall continue to use reasonable best efforts to, obtain the requisite approvals for such Guarantee from the applicable Gaming Authority. If any Subsidiary Guarantor no longer guarantees any Reference Indebtedness at any time, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under its Guarantee, and the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such conditions to release such Guarantee have been satisfied.
(c) The Company will not permit any newly acquired or created Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to guarantee any Reference Indebtedness without making effective provision for such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture (unless such guarantee is not permitted under applicable Gaming Laws and the Company is complying with Section 5.3(b) hereof).
SECTION 5.4. Reports .
(a) Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee within 15 calendar days after the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and regulations:
(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Companys independent registered public accounting firm; and
-14-
(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports (it being understood that the availability of such information or report on the Commissions EDGAR service (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to satisfy the Companys obligation to furnish the information or report referenced in clauses (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this Section 5.4 to the Trustee).
(b) In addition, whether or not required by the Commission, the Company will file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.
Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustees receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Companys compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the Officers Certificate described in Section 1004 of the Base Indenture). The Trustee is under no duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or accuracy of the information or the statements contained therein. The Trustee is entitled to assume such compliance and correctness unless an Officer of the Trustee is informed in writing otherwise.

-15-
(ii) the following language shall be added to the end of the third paragraph:

If an Officer whose facsimile signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, if any Gaming Authority requires that a Holder or beneficial owner of Notes of a Holder must be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any Gaming Law, such Holder or such beneficial owner shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability, as the case may be, within the required time period. If such person fails to apply or become licensed or qualified or is not found suitable (in each case, a failure of compliance ), the Company shall have the right, at its option, (i) to require such Holder or owner to dispose of such Holders or beneficial owners Notes within 30 days of receipt of notice of the Companys election or such earlier date as may be requested or prescribed by such Gaming Authority, or (ii) to redeem such Notes, which Redemption Date may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption if so requested or prescribed by the Gaming Authority, at a redemption price equal to (a) the lesser of (1) the Holders cost, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the earlier of the Redemption Date or the date of the finding of unsuitability or failure to comply and (2) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the earlier of the Redemption Date and the date of the finding of unsuitability or failure to comply or (b) such other amount as may be required by applicable Gaming Laws or by order of any Gaming Authority. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any such failure of compliance or redemption as soon as practicable. The Company shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses any such Holder or beneficial owner may incur in connection with its application for a license, qualification or finding of suitability. Immediately upon the imposition of a requirement to dispose of the Notes by a Gaming Authority, such Holder or beneficial owner shall, to the extent required by applicable Gaming Laws, have no further right (i) to exercise, directly or indirectly, through any trustee, nominee or any other person or entity, any right conferred by the Notes, or (ii) to receive any remuneration in any form with respect to the Notes from the Company or the Trustee, except the redemption price.
I-7
6. | NOTICES OF REDEMPTION |
Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 (unless a shorter notice is acceptable to the Trustee) days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address all in accordance with the Indenture. Any notice to Holders of Notes of a redemption will state, among other things, the redemption price (or how the redemption price will be calculated if not a fixed amount or subject to change) and date. A notice of redemption may provide that the optional redemption described in such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of certain events before the Redemption Date. Such notice of conditional redemption will be of no effect unless all such conditions to the redemption have occurred before the Redemption Date or have been waived the Company. If any of such events fail to occur and are not waived by the Company, the Company shall be under no obligation to redeem the Notes or pay the Holders any redemption proceeds and the Companys failure to redeem the Notes shall not be considered a default or an Event of Default. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time (other than pursuant to paragraph 5 above) the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, consistent with the procedures of DTC. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.
7. | DENOMINATIONS; TRANSFER; EXCHANGE |
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 calendar days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.
8. | PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS |
The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
9. | UNCLAIMED MONEY |
If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request, or if then held by the Company or a domestic Subsidiary, shall be discharged from such trust (unless an abandoned property law designates another Person for payment thereof). After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Paying Agent with respect to such money, and all liability of the Company or such permitted Subsidiary as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.
10. | DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE |
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes if, among other things, the Company deposits with the Trustee funds for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.
I-8
11. | AMENDMENT, WAIVER |
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions, with certain exceptions as therein provided, permitting the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. The Indenture also permits certain other amendments, modifications or waivers thereof only with the consent of all affected Holders of the Notes, while certain other amendments or modifications may be made without the consent of any Holders of Notes. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. The right of any Holder of a Note (or such Holders duly designated proxy) to participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to any provision of the Indenture (and the obligation of the Company to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of Notes as of a date set by the Company and identified by the Trustee in a notice furnished to Holders of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
12. | DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES |
Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and, if given by the Holders, to the Trustee, specifying the respective Events of Default, and the same shall become immediately due and payable.
Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.
Notwithstanding clause (c) of the definition of Event of Default in the Indenture or any other provision of the Indenture, except as provided in the final sentence of this paragraph, the sole remedy for any failure to comply by the Company with Section 5.4 of the Indenture shall be the payment of liquidated damages as described in the following sentence, such failure to comply shall not constitute an Event of Default, and holders of the Notes shall not have any right under the Indenture or the Notes to accelerate the maturity of the Notes as a result of any such failure to comply. If a failure to comply by the Company with Section 5.4 of the Indenture continues for 60 days after the Company receives notice of such failure to comply in accordance with clause (c) of the definition of Event of Default in the Indenture (such notice, the Reports Default Notice ), and is continuing on the 60th day following the Companys receipt of the Reports Default Notice, the Company will pay liquidated damages to all holders of Notes at a rate per
I-9
annum equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Notes from the 60th day following the Companys receipt of the Reports Default Notice to but not including the earlier of (x) the 121st day following the Companys receipt of the Reports Default Notice and (y) the date on which the failure to comply by the Company with Section 5.4 of the Indenture shall have been cured or waived. On the earlier of the date specified in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), such liquidated damages will cease to accrue. If the failure to comply by the Company with Section 5.4 of the Indenture shall not have been cured or waived on or before the 121st day following the Companys receipt of the Reports Default Notice, then the failure to comply by the Company with Section 5.4 of the Indenture shall on such 121st day constitute an Event of Default. A failure to comply with Section 5.4 of the Indenture automatically shall cease to be continuing and shall be deemed cured at such time as the Company furnishes to the Trustee the applicable information or report (it being understood that the availability of such information or report on the Commissions EDGAR service (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to satisfy the Companys obligation to furnish such information or report to the Trustee).
13. | TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY |
Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
14. | NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND STOCKHOLDERS |
No past, present or future director, officer, employee, stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the Company or any successor corporation shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.
15. | GOVERNING LAW |
THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
16. | AUTHENTICATION |
This Note endorsed hereon shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.
17. | ABBREVIATIONS |
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).
I-10
18. | CUSIP NUMBERS |
Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
The Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge to the Holder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the text of this Note in larger type. Requests may be made to:

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have acted as New York counsel to MGM Resorts International, a Delaware corporation (the Company), in connection with the offer and sale of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2025 (the Notes) issued by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement dated June 14, 2018 (the Underwriting Agreement) by and among Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as representative of the several underwriters named therein, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors named therein (the Subsidiary Guarantors). The Notes, when issued, will be guaranteed (the Guarantees) by the Subsidiary Guarantors.
In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records and agreements and other instruments, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers and representatives of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee and other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed, including (i) the registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-223375, filed on March 1, 2018 by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Registration Statement); (ii) the prospectus dated March 1, 2018 (the Base Prospectus); (iii) the preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 14, 2018 relating to the Securities; (iv) the prospectus supplement dated June 14, 2018; (v) the indenture, dated as of March 22, 2012, among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the Trustee), as supplemented by a sixth supplemental indenture, dated as of June 18, 2018; and (vi) the Underwriting Agreement.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.
In connection with this opinion, we have also assumed that (i) except with respect to MGM Grand Detroit, Inc., MGM Lessee, LLC and MMNY Land Company, Inc., each of the Subsidiary Guarantors has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction in which it was formed, (ii) each of the Subsidiary Guarantors has the full power and authority to execute and deliver the Indenture and the Guarantees and to perform its obligations thereunder, and (iii) all action required to be taken by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors for the due and proper authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Guarantees and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby has been duly and validly taken.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, and having regard to legal considerations we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that (assuming the due authentication by the Trustee):
(1) The Notes constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
(2) The Guarantees issued under the Indenture constitute valid and binding obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors, enforceable against the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with their terms.
The opinions expressed above with respect to validity, binding effect and enforceability are subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors rights and remedies generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity) and except that rights to indemnification and contribution thereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.
The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the law of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal law of the United States.
- 2 -
We hereby consent to the reference to us under the heading Legal Matters in the Base Prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement and in any related prospectus supplement and to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 of the Registration Statement. By giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours, |

Re: MGM Resorts International 5.750% Notes due 2025
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special Massachusetts counsel to MGM Resorts International, a Delaware corporation (the Company ) and MGM Springfield, LLC, a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Underwriting Agreement identified below and referred to herein as the Massachusetts Guarantor , with respect to matters of Massachusetts law arising in connection with the sale by the Company of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Companys 5.750% Senior Notes due 2025 (the Notes ), pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the Underwriting Agreement ), dated as of June 14, 2018, between the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative of the several Underwriters named therein. The Notes are issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 22, 2012 (the Base Indenture ) between the Company and US Bank National Association, as Trustee (the Trustee ), as supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 18, 2018 (the Supplemental Indenture ) among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, and the Trustee, and the Notes are guaranteed as to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest by the subsidiaries of the Company identified on the signature pages to the Supplemental Indenture (the Guarantees ). The initial issuance and sale of the Notes by the Company and the granting of the Guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors is referred to herein as the Transaction .
This opinion letter, including the schedules hereto (the Opinion Letter ), is being rendered at the request of the Company. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as they are given in the Underwriting Agreement.
In connection with this Opinion Letter, we have examined the following documents (the Transaction Documents ), each dated as of the date hereof unless otherwise specified:
a) | the Underwriting Agreement; |
|
MGM Resorts International | |
June 18, 2018 Page 2 |
b) | the registration statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-223375, filed on March 1, 2018 by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act ), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Registration Statement ); |
c) | the Pricing Disclosure Package; |
d) | the prospectus dated March 1, 2018; |
e) | the Base Indenture; |
f) | the Supplemental Indenture; and |
g) | the Notes. |
In addition to the Transaction Documents, we have also examined each of the other documents listed on Schedule A attached hereto (together with the Transaction Documents, the Documents ).
We have, without independent investigation, relied upon the representations and warranties of the various parties as to matters of objective fact contained in the Documents. Except for the Documents, we have not examined the records or the Company or the Massachusetts Guarantor, nor of any court or any public, quasi-public, private or other office in any jurisdiction, and our opinions are subject to the matters that an examination of such records would reveal.
We have assumed that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors other than the Massachusetts Guarantor are duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization, have all requisite corporate or other organizational power and authority to enter into, deliver, and perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents to which they are a party, and have taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by such entities of the Transaction Documents to which they are a party. We have assumed that the Transaction Documents constitute the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of all parties thereto other than the Massachusetts Guarantor. We have also assumed: (i) each natural person executing any of the Documents has sufficient legal capacity to enter into such Documents; (ii) each person has all requisite power and authority and has taken all necessary corporate or other action to enter into those Documents to which it is a party or by which it is bound, to the extent necessary to make the Documents enforceable against it; and (iii) there are no agreements or understandings among the parties to or bound by the Documents or involved in the Transactions, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among such parties, that would define, modify, waive, or qualify the terms of the Documents or any of the agreements relating to the Transactions. In the course of our representation of the Massachusetts Guarantor in connection with the Transaction, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe reliance upon any of those assumptions is inappropriate, and, with your concurrence, the opinions hereafter expressed are based upon those assumptions.

Our opinions hereafter expressed are limited to Chapters 156C and 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws and the Federal law of the United States of America, except with respect to the opinions hereafter expressed in numbered paragraph 2, we have relied solely on the certificate listed on Schedule A of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The following opinions are, with your approval, based on and limited to Chapters 156C and 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws and the relevant federal law of the United States of America, we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. We express no legal opinion upon any matter other than those explicitly addressed in numbered paragraphs 1 through 4 below, and our express opinions therein contained shall not be interpreted to be implied opinions upon any other matter.

The documents listed above as A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are collectively referred to herein as the Transaction Documents.
We have examined, and relied upon for purposes of this opinion, one or more certificates of officers and representatives of each of MGM Resorts and the Mississippi Subsidiaries with respect to certain factual matters, which, with your permission, we have not independently verified. In addition, except as stated below, we have also examined, and relied upon for purposes of this opinion, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) corporate records, agreements and other instruments and (ii) documents of public officials, and we have conducted such other investigations of fact or law as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.
Except as to the documents referenced above, we have not reviewed, and we express no opinion as to, any instrument or agreement referred to or incorporated by reference in the Transaction Documents. We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the conformity to originals of all copies of all documents submitted to us, and the accuracy and totality of all such documents submitted to us as originals or copies. We have assumed that the most recent drafts of the Transaction Documents submitted to us do not vary in any material respect from their executed versions.
We have assumed that MGM Resorts and those of the Company Subsidiaries which are not Mississippi Subsidiaries (the Other Subsidiaries ) are duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization, have all requisite corporate or other organizational power and authority to enter into, deliver, and perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents to which they are a party, and have taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by such entities of the Transaction Documents to which they are a party. We have assumed that the Transaction Documents constitute the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of all parties thereto other than the Mississippi Subsidiaries.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the foregoing and the further qualifications, assumptions, and limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof:
(i) MGMRM has been duly organized and, based solely on the Good Standing Certificate applicable to MGMRM, is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of Mississippi. Assuming the capital contribution of Mandalay Resorts Group (MRG) stated in the operating agreement was received by MGMRM, all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of MGMRM have been validly issued and, based solely on our review of the operating agreement, are directly owned of record by MRG. Assuming MRG acquired such membership interests in good faith and without knowledge of any adverse claim, to our knowledge, except as disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, MRG holds such membership interests free and clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim. To our knowledge, except as disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there is no outstanding subscription, option, warrant or other right calling for the issuance of any membership interests of MGMRM or any security convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for membership interests of MGMRM.
(ii) BRR has been duly organized and, based solely on the Good Standing Certificate applicable to BRR, is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of Mississippi. Assuming the capital contribution of the Company stated in the operating agreement was received by BRR, all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of BRR have been validly issued and, based solely on our review of the operating agreement, are directly owned of record by the Company. Assuming the Company acquired such membership interests in good faith and without knowledge of any adverse claim, to our knowledge, except as disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the Company holds such membership interests free and clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim. To our knowledge, except as disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there is no outstanding subscription, option, warrant or other right calling for the issuance of any membership interests of BRR or any security convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for membership interests of BRR.
(iii) Each of the Mississippi Subsidiaries has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and license its assets and properties, to conduct its businesses as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, but only to the extent the same are currently conducted and operated, and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent that it is a party thereto.
(iv) Each Mississippi Subsidiary has taken all necessary limited liability company action to authorize the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent that it is a party thereto. The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantees and performance of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantees by the respective parties thereto and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement,
MGM Resorts International
3600 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Las Vegas, Nevada 89109
Page 4
the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and compliance by the Mississippi Subsidiaries with their respective obligations thereunder will not, to our knowledge: (1) conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of any Mississippi Subsidiary pursuant to, any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which any Mississippi Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of any Mississippi Subsidiary is subject which would result in a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise; or (2) result in any violation of the provisions of (A) any applicable law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree which would result in a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise or (B) the articles of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of formation or operating agreement of any Mississippi Subsidiary.
(v) To our knowledge, no Mississippi Subsidiary is in violation of any term or provision of its articles of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of formation or operating agreement. Except as disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, to our knowledge, no default exists and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default in the due performance and observance of any express term, covenant or condition by such Mississippi Subsidiary of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note or any other agreement or instrument to which such Mississippi Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its assets or properties or businesses may be bound or affected, where the consequences of such default would have a material adverse effect on the assets, properties, business, results of operations, prospects or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(vi) No authorization, approval, consent, order, license, certificate or permit (each, a Mississippi Permit ) required of or from any governmental or regulatory body (each, a Mississippi Gaming Authority ) under the Mississippi Gaming Control Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, Mississippi Gaming Laws ) is required for the performance by each Mississippi Subsidiary of the Underwriting Agreement or for the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or any other transaction described in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus to be entered into in connection therewith (including the issuance of the Subsidiary Guarantees) except for such Mississippi Permits that have been obtained. The Underwriting Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus have been presented to all Mississippi Gaming Authorities to the extent required by any Mississippi Gaming Laws, and such documents and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby have been approved by or on behalf of such Mississippi Gaming Authorities to the extent required by any Mississippi Gaming Laws, or the requirement for approval has been waived, and such approvals or waivers have not been revoked, modified or rescinded.
(vii) The statements under the caption Regulation and Licensing and elsewhere in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus regarding
MGM Resorts International
3600 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Las Vegas, Nevada 89109
Page 5
Mississippi laws, rules, regulations and legal conclusions included in the Pricing Disclosure Package and in the Prospectus and the statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 included in Exhibit 99.2 under the heading Mississippi Government Regulation, in each case as in effect at the date such statements were made, were true and correct in all material respects as of the Applicable Time and as of the Closing Time.
(viii) The Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantees have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Mississippi Subsidiaries party thereto.
(ix) To our knowledge, there are no material legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened other than any regularly scheduled re-licensing proceedings now pending before any Mississippi Gaming Authority and other than those disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, the adverse determination of which would have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(x) The Mississippi Subsidiaries are not, nor will they be upon the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, subject to regulation under any Mississippi statute or regulation limiting their ability to incur indebtedness for borrowed money, except the Mississippi Gaming Laws and any rules, ordinances or regulations of local regulatory authorities, the provisions of which have been complied with by the Mississippi Subsidiaries.
In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed, without inquiry or investigation, that there has been no mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress, or undue influence involved with respect to any party, and that each party has complied with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability.
We disclaim liability as an expert under the securities laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction and express no opinion herein as to compliance with, or the effect of (i) federal or state securities laws, or (ii) federal or state anti-fraud laws.
Wherever we indicate that our opinion is to the best of our knowledge or is based on our knowledge, our opinion is based solely on (i) the current actual knowledge of the attorneys currently with the firm who have represented the Mississippi Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or other matters, and (ii) the representations and warranties of or on behalf of the Mississippi Subsidiaries in the Transaction Documents, which have not been independently verified by us.
We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Mississippi.
This opinion is intended solely for the use of the addressees in connection with the Transaction Documents. This opinion is rendered as of the date stated herein and the undersigned

undertakes no obligation to update the provisions herein. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose, or reproduced or filed publicly by any person, without the written consent of this firm; provided, however, (i) U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as trustee under the Indenture may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to it in such capacity and (ii) we hereby consent to the reliance upon this opinion by Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, and Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP in connection with their respective opinions pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, and to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to such opinions.

We call to your attention that we have not examined any court, real estate or commercial financing records. We have also made such examination of law as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion.
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photocopies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents, the accuracy and completeness of all documents and records reviewed by us, the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of each certificate issued by any government official, office or agency and the absence of change in the information contained therein from the effective date of any such certificate.
We have assumed that each of the parties to the Transaction Documents other than the New Jersey Subsidiaries (the Other Parties ) has satisfied all applicable legal requirements necessary to make the Transaction Documents enforceable against it and has complied with all legal requirements pertaining to its status as such status relates to its rights to enforce the Transaction Documents against the New Jersey Subsidiaries, or any of them. We have also assumed that the conduct of the parties to the Transaction Documents complies with any requirements of good faith, fair dealing and absence of unconscionability, and there has not been any mutual mistake of fact, fraud, duress or undue influence.
Without limiting the effect of the preceding paragraph, we have also assumed that (i) each of the Company, the Nevada Subsidiary and Mirage Resorts, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ( MRL ), has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party; (ii) each of the Company, the Nevada Subsidiary and MRL has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party; (iii) each of the Company, the Nevada Subsidiary and MRL has validly executed and delivered the Transaction Documents to which it is a party; and (iv) the Companys obligations and those of the Nevada Subsidiary, MRL and the New Jersey Subsidiaries pursuant to the Transaction Documents, to the extent that any of them is a party thereto, are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, the Nevada Subsidiary, MRL and the New Jersey Subsidiaries, respectively, enforceable in accordance with the terms of such documents.
As to any facts material to our opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company, the Nevada Subsidiary, MRL and the New Jersey Subsidiaries contained in the Transaction Documents and upon a certificate of each of the Senior Vice President, Assistant General Counsel and Assistant Secretary and the Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company, and the Secretary or

Attorney-in-Fact, as applicable, of the Nevada Subsidiary, MRL and the New Jersey Subsidiaries, with respect to certain factual matters (collectively, the Officers Certificate ). In this regard, we have assumed the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by all of the Other Parties thereto, that all of the Other Parties thereto have full power and legal right to enter into the Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, and that each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Other Parties thereto.
To the extent that a statement herein is qualified by the phrases to our knowledge or known to us, or by similar phrases, it is intended to indicate that, during the course of our representation of the Company, the Nevada Subsidiary and the New Jersey Subsidiaries in connection with the Transaction Documents, and based upon an inquiry of the attorneys presently in this firm who have rendered substantive legal services in connection with the representation of the Company, the Nevada Subsidiary and the New Jersey Subsidiaries with respect to the Transaction Documents, no information that would give us current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such statement has come to the attention of those attorneys presently in this firm who have rendered substantive legal services in connection with the representation of any of the Company, the Nevada Subsidiary and the New Jersey Subsidiaries with respect to the Transaction Documents. Except as expressly set forth above, such phrase does not mean that we have undertaken any independent investigation or review to determine the accuracy of any such statement. No inference as to our knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be drawn from the fact of our representation of any of the Company, the Nevada Subsidiary and the New Jersey Subsidiaries.
Our opinion is limited in all respects to the laws of the United States and the State of New Jersey.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the qualifications hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that:
1. MAC has been duly incorporated and, based solely upon the MAC G/S Certificate, is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of New Jersey. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of MAC have been duly authorized and validly issued, and, to our knowledge and based on the Officers Certificate, are fully paid and nonassessable and are directly owned of record by MRL. Assuming MRL acquired such shares of MAC without knowledge of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim, then to the best of our knowledge, MRL holds such shares free and clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim. To our knowledge, except as disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there is no outstanding subscription, option, warrant or other right calling for the issuance of any share of stock of MAC or any security convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for stock of MAC. MDDHC has been duly formed and, based solely upon the MDDHC G/S Certificate, is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of New Jersey. All of the issued and

Assuming MAC and the Company each acquired their respective limited liability company membership interests of MDDHC without knowledge of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim, then to the best of our knowledge, MAC and the Company each hold their respective limited liability company membership interests free and clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim. To our knowledge, except as disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there is no outstanding subscription, option, warrant or other right calling for the issuance of any limited liability company membership interests of MDDHC or any security convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for limited liability company membership interests of MDDHC. MDDC has been duly formed and, based solely upon the MDDC G/S Certificate, is validly existing as a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of New Jersey. All of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests of MDDC have been duly authorized and validly issued, and, to our knowledge and based on the Officers Certificate, are directly owned of record by MDDHC. Assuming MDDHC acquired such limited liability company membership interests of MDDC without knowledge of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim, then to the best of our knowledge, MDDHC holds such limited liability company membership interests free and clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim. To our knowledge, except as disclosed in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there is no outstanding subscription, option, warrant or other right calling for the issuance of any limited liability company membership interests of MDDC or any security convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for limited liability company membership interests of MDDC.
2. MAC has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and license its assets and properties, to conduct its businesses as described in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, but only to the extent the same are currently conducted and operated, and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, to the extent it is a party thereto. Each of MDDC and MDDHC has all requisite limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and license its assets and properties, to conduct its business as described in each of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, but in each case only to the extent the same is currently conducted and operated, and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, to the extent it is a party thereto.

Our opinions expressed above are subject to the following additional qualifications:
(a) | Certain rights, remedies and waivers contained in the Transaction Documents and certain limitations of the liability contained therein may be rendered ineffective, or limited, by applicable laws, judicial decisions, constitutional requirements or principles of equity governing such provisions, but such ineffectiveness or limitations under such applicable laws, judicial decisions, constitutional requirements or principles of equity do not, in our opinion, render any of the Transaction Documents invalid as a whole, and there exist in the Transaction Documents or pursuant to applicable law legally adequate remedies for the realization of the principal benefits purported to be provided by the Transaction Documents, subject to the economic consequences of any delay which may result from applicable laws, rules or judicial decisions or constitutional requirements. |
(b) | We express no opinion as to the effect of any federal or New Jersey law, rule or regulation concerning securities, trademarks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, antitrust, taxes, pollution, hazardous substances or environmental protection, zoning, land use, building, construction, labor, protection of disabled persons, or occupational health and safety in respect of the transactions contemplated by or referred to in any of the Transaction Documents, or as to any statutes, ordinances, administrative decisions, rules or regulations of any county, town, municipality or special political subdivision (whether created or enabled through legislative action at the state or regional level). |
(c) | In rendering this opinion, we have assumed that: (i) there are no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of the Transaction Documents; (ii) each applicable statute, rule, regulation, order and agency action affecting the parties to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby is valid and constitutional; and (iii) except as expressly provided in paragraph 6 above, all parties to the Transaction Documents will obtain all permits and governmental approvals required in the future, and take all actions similarly required, relevant to the subsequent consummation of any transaction among the parties to the Transaction Documents or relevant to the subsequent performance of any of the Transaction Documents. |
(d) | No opinion is given with respect to the enforceability of any provision of any Transaction Document. |
(e) | Our opinion is based upon and relies upon the current status of law, and in all respects is subject to and may be limited by future legislation or case law. |
The opinions expressed herein represent our reasonable professional judgment as to the matters of law addressed herein, based upon the facts presented or assumed, and are not guarantees that a court will reach any particular result.
