In addition, in connection with the CPLV Debt Amendments, the Company is amending the loan agreement and other documents relating to two tranches (the “ Mezz A Tranche Amendments ” and the “ Mezz B Tranche Amendments ”) of the Company’s mezzanine loans to be consistent with the CPLV Debt Amendments (other than the establishment of the Lender Reimbursement Reserve).

(c)      all buildings, structures, Fixtures and improvements of every kind now or hereafter located on the Land or the improvements located thereon or permanently affixed to the Land or the improvements located thereon, including, but not limited to, alleyways and connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines appurtenant to such buildings and structures (collectively, the “ Leased Improvements ”), provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect or contradict the provisions of this Lease which specify that Tenant shall be entitled to certain rights with respect to or benefits of the Tenant Capital Improvements as expressly set forth herein; and
(d)      all easements, development rights and other rights appurtenant to the Land or the Leased Improvements.
The Leased Property is leased subject to all covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters of any nature affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof as of the Commencement Date and such subsequent covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters as may hereafter arise in accordance with the terms of this Lease or as may otherwise be agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant, whether or not of record, including any matters which would be disclosed by an inspection or accurate survey of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
To the extent Landlord’s ownership of any Leased Property or any portion thereof (including any improvement (including any Capital Improvement) or other property) that does not constitute “real property” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.856-3(d), which would otherwise be owned by Landlord and leased to Tenant pursuant to this Lease, could cause Landlord REIT to fail to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” (within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto), then a portion of such property shall instead automatically be owned by Propco TRS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto) of Landlord REIT (the “ Propco TRS ”), to the extent necessary such that Landlord’s ownership of such Leased Property does not cause Landlord REIT to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust, provided, there shall be no adjustment in the Rent as a result of the foregoing.  In such event, Landlord shall cause the Propco TRS to make such property available to Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof; however, Landlord shall remain fully liable for all obligations of Landlord under this Lease and shall retain sole decision-making authority for any matters for which Landlord’s consent or approval is required or permitted to be given and for which Landlord’s discretion may be exercised under this Lease.
1.2      Single, Indivisible Lease . This Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the Leased Property and not separate leases governed by similar terms. The Leased Property constitutes one economic unit, and the Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed upon based on a demise of all of the Leased Property to Tenant as a single, composite, inseparable transaction

2



and would have been substantially different had separate leases or a divisible lease been intended. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated), all provisions of this Lease apply equally and uniformly to all components of the Leased Property collectively as one unit. The Parties intend that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property and, in particular but without limitation, that, for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. Section 365, or any successor or replacement thereof or any analogous state law, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease and executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit and that this Lease must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only as to all) of the Leased Property. The Parties may elect to amend this Lease from time to time to modify the boundaries of the Land, to exclude one or more components or portions thereof, and/or to include one or more additional components as part of the Leased Property, and any such future addition to the Leased Property shall not in any way change the indivisible and nonseverable nature of this Lease and all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to apply in full force. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 1.2 is not intended to and shall not be deemed to limit, vitiate or supersede anything contained in Section 41.17 hereof.
1.3      Term . The “ Term ” of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and expire on the Expiration Date (i.e., the Term shall consist of the Initial Term plus all Renewal Terms, to the extent exercised as set forth in Section 1.4 below, subject to any earlier termination of the Term pursuant to the terms hereof). The initial stated term of this Lease (the “ Initial Term ”) shall commence on October 6, 2017 (the “ Commencement Date ”) and expire on October 31, 2032 (the “ Initial Stated Expiration Date ”). The “ Stated Expiration Date ” means the Initial Stated Expiration Date or the expiration date of the most recently exercised Renewal Term, as the case may be.
1.4      Renewal Terms . The Term of this Lease may be extended for four (4) separate “ Renewal Terms ” of five (5) years each if (a) at least twelve (12), but not more than eighteen (18), months prior to the then current Stated Expiration Date, Tenant (or, pursuant to Section 17.1(e) , a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) delivers to Landlord a “ Renewal Notice ” stating that it is irrevocably exercising its right to extend this Lease for one (1) Renewal Term; and (b) no Tenant Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Landlord receives the Renewal Notice or on the last day of the then current Term (other than a Tenant Event of Default that is in the process of being cured by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee in compliance in all respects with Section 17.1(d) and Section 17.1(e) ). Subject to the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease, upon Tenant’s timely delivery to Landlord of a Renewal Notice, the Term of this Lease shall be extended for the then applicable Renewal Term. During any such Renewal Term, except as specifically provided for herein, all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. After the last Renewal Term, Tenant shall have no further right to renew or extend the Term. If Tenant fails to validly and timely exercise any right to extend this Lease, then all subsequent rights to extend the Term shall terminate.

3.1
Payment of Rent .
(a)      Generally . During the Term, Tenant will pay to Landlord the Rent and Additional Charges in lawful money of the United States of America and legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in the manner provided in Section 3.4 .
(b)      Payment of Rent until Commencement of Variable Rent . On the Commencement Date, a prorated portion of the first monthly installment of Rent shall be paid by Tenant for the period from the Commencement Date until the last day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs, based on the number of days during such period. Thereafter, for the first seven (7) Lease Years, Rent shall be payable by Tenant in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Rent amount for the applicable Lease Year on the first (1st) day of each calendar month (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Lease Year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, (i) no Supplemental Rent shall be payable with respect to the period prior to the Amendment Date, (ii) on the Amendment Date, the amount of each remaining monthly installment of Rent in the Lease Year in which the Amendment Date occurs (i.e., each installment of Rent payable in such Lease Year after the Amendment Date) shall be recalculated to give effect to the addition of Supplemental Rent as a component of Rent (as effectuated by the amendments to this Lease on the Amendment Date) and (iii) on the Amendment Date, a prorated portion of the amount of the monthly installment of Supplemental Rent for the month in which the Amendment Date occurs shall be paid by Tenant for the period from the Amendment Date until the last day of such calendar month, based on the number of days during such period (provided, however, that if Tenant pays or has paid (as an Imposition) rent under the Prior Octavius Ground Lease in respect of such period, then such payment shall be credited in full against the amount due under this clause (iii) ).

50



(c)      Payment of Rent following Commencement of Variable Rent . From the commencement of the eighth (8th) Lease Year and continuing until the Expiration Date, Base Rent, Variable Rent and Supplemental Rent during any Lease Year shall be payable in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Base Rent, Variable Rent and Supplemental Rent amounts for the applicable Lease Year on the first (1st) day of each calendar month (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Lease Year; provided , however , that for each month where Variable Rent is payable but the amount thereof depends upon calculation of Net Revenue not yet known ( e.g. , the first few months of the eighth (8th) Lease Year, the eleventh (11th) Lease Year, and (if applicable) the first (1st) Lease Year of each Renewal Term), the amount of the Variable Rent payable monthly in advance shall remain the same as in the immediately preceding month, and provided , further , that Tenant shall make a payment to Landlord (or be entitled to set off against its Rent payment due, as applicable) on the first (1st) day of the calendar month (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of the month is not a Business Day) following the completion of such calculation in the amount necessary to “true-up” any underpayments or overpayments of Variable Rent for such interim period. Tenant shall complete such calculation of Net Revenue as provided in Section 3.2 of this Lease.
(d)      Proration for Partial Lease Year . Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, Rent and applicable Additional Charges shall be prorated on a per diem basis as to any Lease Year containing less than twelve (12) calendar months, and with respect to any installment thereof due for any partial months at the beginning and end of the Term.
(e)      Rent Allocation . Rent (other than Supplemental Rent) during the initial seven (7) Lease Years and Rent thereafter for the duration of the Initial Term shall be allocated as specified in Schedule 5 hereto and such allocations of Rent shall represent Tenant’s accrued liability on account of the use of the Leased Property during the Initial Term. Landlord and Tenant agree that such allocations are intended to constitute a specific allocation of fixed rent within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.467-1(c)(2)(ii)(A) to the applicable period and in the respective amounts set forth in Schedule 5 hereto. Landlord and Tenant agree, for purposes of federal income tax returns filed by it (or on any income tax returns on which its income is included), to accrue rental income and rental expense, respectively (other than Supplemental Rent) during the Initial Term in the amounts equal to the amount set forth under the caption “Rent Allocation” in Schedule 5 hereto.
3.2      Variable Rent Determination .
(a)      Variable Rent Statement . Tenant shall, no later than ninety (90) days after the end of each Variable Rent Determination Period during the Term, furnish to Landlord a statement (the “ Variable Rent Statement ”), which Variable Rent Statement shall (i) set forth the sum of the Net Revenues realized with respect to the Facility during each of (x) such just-ended Variable Rent Determination Period and (y) except with respect to the first (1st) Variable Rent Statement, the Variable Rent Determination Period immediately preceding such just-ended Variable Rent Determination Period, (ii) except with respect to the first (1st) Variable Rent Statement, set forth Tenant’s calculation of the per annum Variable Rent payable hereunder during the next Variable Rent Payment Period, (iii) be accompanied by reasonably appropriate supporting data and

51



information, and (iv) be certified by a senior financial officer of Tenant and expressly state that such officer has examined the reports of Net Revenue therein and the supporting data and information accompanying the same, that such examination included such tests of Tenant’s books and records as reasonably necessary to make such determination, and that such statement accurately presents in all material respects the Net Revenues for the applicable periods covered thereby , so that Tenant shall commence paying the applicable Variable Rent payable during each Variable Rent Payment Period hereunder (in accordance with the calculation set forth in each such Variable Rent Statement) no later than the first (1st) day of the fourth (4 th ) calendar month during such Variable Rent Payment Period (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of such month is not a Business Day).
(b)      Maintenance of Records Relating to Variable Rent Statement . Tenant shall maintain, at its corporate offices, for a period of not less than six (6) years following the end of each Lease Year, adequate records which shall evidence the Net Revenue realized by the Facility during each Lease Year, together with all such records that would normally be examined by an independent auditor pursuant to GAAP in performing an audit of Tenant’s Variable Rent Statements. The provisions and covenants of this Section 3.2(b) shall survive the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease.
(c)      Audits . At any time within two (2) years of receipt of any Variable Rent Statement, Landlord shall have the right to cause to be conducted an independent audit of the matters covered thereby, conducted by a nationally-recognized independent public accounting firm mutually reasonably agreed to by the Parties. Such audit shall be limited to items necessary to ascertain an accurate determination of the calculation of the Variable Rent payable hereunder, and shall be conducted during normal business hours at the principal executive office of Tenant. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit (i) that there has been a deficiency in the payment of Variable Rent, such deficiency shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after such determination, or (ii) that there has been an excess payment of Variable Rent, such excess shall become due and payable by Landlord to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after such determination. In addition, if any Variable Rent Statement shall be found to have understated the per annum Variable Rent payable during any Variable Rent Payment Period by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%), and Landlord is entitled to any additional Variable Rent as a result of such understatement, then (x) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses which may be incurred by Landlord in determining and collecting the understatement or underpayment, including the cost of the audit (if applicable) and (y) interest at the Overdue Rate on the amount of the deficiency from the date when said payment should have been made until paid. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit that the applicable Variable Rent Statement did not understate the per annum Variable Rent payable during any Variable Rent Payment Period by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%), then Landlord shall pay to Tenant all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in making such determination, including the cost of the audit. In addition, if any Variable Rent Statement shall be found to have willfully and intentionally understated the per annum Variable Rent by more than five percent (5%), such understatement shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a Tenant Event of Default under this Lease. Any audit conducted pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) shall be performed subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 23.1(c)

52



hereof. The receipt by Landlord of any Variable Rent Statement or any Variable Rent paid in accordance therewith for any period shall not constitute an admission of the correctness thereof.
3.3      Late Payment of Rent or Additional Charges . Tenant hereby acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent or Additional Charges will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of which is presently anticipated to be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or Additional Charges payable directly to Landlord shall not be paid within four (4) days after its due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the amount of such installment or Additional Charges and (b) the maximum amount permitted by law. The Parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. The Parties further agree that any such late charge constitutes Rent, and not interest, and such assessment does not constitute a lender or borrower/creditor relationship between Landlord and Tenant. If any installment of Rent (or Additional Charges payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid within nine (9) days after its due date, the amount unpaid, including any late charges previously accrued and unpaid, shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate (from such ninth (9 th ) day after the due date of such installment until the date of payment thereof) (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding), and Tenant shall pay such interest to Landlord on demand. The payment of such late charge or such interest shall not constitute a waiver of, nor excuse or cure, any default under this Lease, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Landlord. No failure by Landlord to insist upon strict performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to pay late charges and interest on sums overdue shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to enforce the provisions, terms and conditions of this Section 3.3 . No payment by Tenant nor receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than may be required to be paid hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of any such payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check tendered as payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord, in its sole discretion, may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such payment due or pursue any other right or remedy in this Lease provided.
3.4      Method of Payment of Rent . Rent and Additional Charges to be paid to Landlord shall be paid by electronic funds transfer debit transactions through wire transfer, ACH or direct deposit of immediately available federal funds and shall be initiated by Tenant for settlement on or before the applicable Payment Date in each case (or, in respect of Additional Charges, as applicable, such other date as may be applicable hereunder); provided , however , if the Payment Date is not a Business Day, then settlement shall be made on the preceding Business Day. Landlord shall provide Tenant with appropriate wire transfer, ACH and direct deposit information in a Notice from Landlord to Tenant. If Landlord directs Tenant to pay any Rent or any Additional Charges to any party other than Landlord, Tenant shall send to Landlord, simultaneously with such payment, a copy of the transmittal letter or invoice and a check whereby such payment is made or such other evidence of payment as Landlord may reasonably require.

53



3.5      Net Lease . Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (i) this Lease is and is intended to be what is commonly referred to as a “net, net, net” or “triple net” lease, and (ii) the Rent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Initial Rent and Supplemental Rent, and, following commencement of the obligation to pay Variable Rent hereunder, the Base Rent, Supplemental Rent and Variable Rent components of the Rent) and Additional Charges shall be paid absolutely net to Landlord, without abatement, deferment, reduction, defense, counterclaim, claim, demand, notice, deduction or offset of any kind whatsoever, so that this Lease shall yield to Landlord the full amount or benefit of the installments of Rent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Initial Rent and Supplemental Rent, and, following commencement of the obligation to pay Variable Rent hereunder, the Base Rent, Supplemental Rent and Variable Rent components of the Rent) and Additional Charges throughout the Term, all as more fully set forth in Article V and except and solely to the extent expressly provided in Article XIV (in connection with a Casualty Event), in Article XV (in connection with a Condemnation), in Section 3.1 (in connection with the “true-up”, if any, applicable to the onset of a Variable Rent Payment Period) and in Section 41.17 . If Landlord commences any proceedings for non-payment of Rent, Tenant will not interpose any defense, offset, claim, counterclaim or cross complaint or similar pleading of any nature or description in such proceedings unless Tenant would lose or waive such claim by the failure to assert it. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to assert such claims in a separate action brought by Tenant. The covenants to pay Rent and Additional Charges hereunder are independent covenants, and Tenant shall have no right to hold back, deduct, defer, reduce, offset or fail to pay any such amounts for default by Landlord or for any other reason whatsoever, except solely as and to the extent provided in Section 3.1 and this Section 3.5 .
ARTICLE IV
ADDITIONAL CHARGES
4.1      Impositions .

Tenant shall make such payments directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and on a monthly basis furnish to Landlord a summary of such payments, together, upon the request of Landlord, with copies of

54



official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If Tenant is not permitted to, or it is otherwise not feasible for Tenant to, make such payments directly to the taxing authorities or other applicable party, then Tenant shall make such payments to Landlord at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such payments becoming delinquent (except in the case of any such payments with respect to (x) Ground Leases required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or (y) Property Documents required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.2(g) , which Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such payments becoming due and payable under the applicable Ground Lease or Property Document), and Landlord shall make such payments to the taxing authorities or other applicable party prior to delinquency (or, in the case of any such payments with respect to (x) Ground Leases required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or (y) Property Documents required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.2(g) , the date that such payments are due and payable under the applicable Ground Lease or Property Document). If and to the extent funds for Impositions are being reserved by Tenant with and held by Fee Mortgagee, Tenant shall be permitted to make a direct request to Fee Mortgagee (contemporaneously providing a copy of such request to Landlord) to cause such funds to be applied to Impositions when due and payable, unless a Tenant Event of Default exists, and, to the extent Fee Mortgagee fails to make such disbursement, the failure to timely pay such Impositions shall not give rise to any Tenant Event of Default or other liability or obligation of Tenant hereunder. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any bills received by Landlord for Impositions, promptly following Landlord’s receipt thereof. Tenant’s obligation to pay Impositions shall be absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property to the extent payable during the Term or any part thereof, subject to Article XII . Notwithstanding anything in the first sentence of this Section 4.1 to the contrary, if any Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments, whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, Tenant may pay the same, and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments before the same respectively become delinquent and before any fine, penalty, premium or further interest may be added thereto. Nothing in this Section 4.1 shall limit Tenant’s obligations with respect to funding reserves for Impositions to the extent required under Section 31.3 .
(a)      Landlord or Landlord REIT shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal Requirements with respect to Landlord’s net income, gross receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock and any other returns required to be filed by or in the name of Landlord (the “ Landlord Tax Returns ”), and Tenant or Tenant’s applicable direct or indirect parent shall prepare and file all other tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal Requirements with respect to or relating to the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property.

(b)      Any refund due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of Tenant shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant, and any refund due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of Landlord, if any, shall be paid over to or retained by Landlord.

55



(c)      Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the Party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required tax returns and reports. Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, shall provide the other Party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property classified as personal property. Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest.
(d)      Billings for reimbursement by Tenant to Landlord of personal property or real property taxes and any taxes due under the Landlord Tax Returns, if and to the extent Tenant is responsible for such taxes under the terms of this Section 4.1 (subject to Article XII ), shall be accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify in reasonable detail the personal property or real property or other tax obligations of Landlord with respect to which such payments are made.
(e)      Impositions imposed or assessed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs shall be adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant; provided , that Tenant’s obligation to pay its prorated share of Impositions imposed or assessed before the Expiration Date in respect of a tax-fiscal period during the Term shall survive the Expiration Date (and its right to contest the same pursuant to Article XII shall survive the Stated Expiration Date). Landlord will not enter into agreements that will result in, or consent to the imposition of, additional Impositions without Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , in each case, Tenant is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement. Impositions imposed or assessed in respect of any tax-fiscal period occurring (in whole or in part) prior to the Commencement Date, if any, shall be Tenant’s obligation to pay or cause to be paid.
4.2      Utilities and Other Matters . Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in the Leased Property.

4.3      Compliance Certificate . Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, promptly following Landlord’s receipt thereof, any bills received by Landlord for items required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, Impositions, utilities and insurance. Promptly upon request of Landlord (but so long as no Event of Default is continuing no more frequently than one time per Fiscal Quarter), Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a certification stating that all or a specified portion of Impositions, utilities, insurance premiums or, to the extent specified by Landlord, any other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder that have, in each case, come due prior to the date of such

56



certification have been paid (or that such payments are being contested in good faith by Tenant in accordance herewith) and specifying the portion of the Leased Property to which such payments relate.
4.4      Impound Account . At Landlord’s option following the occurrence and during the continuation of a monetary Tenant Event of Default (to be exercised by thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant), Tenant shall be required to deposit, at the time of any payment of Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the sum of (i) Tenant’s estimated annual real and personal property taxes required pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord) and (ii) Tenant’s estimated annual insurance premium costs pursuant to Article XIII hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord). Such amounts shall be applied to the payment of the obligations in respect of which said amounts were deposited, on or before the respective dates on which the same or any of them would become due. The reasonable cost of administering such impound account shall be paid by Tenant. Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be deemed to affect any other right or remedy of Landlord hereunder.
ARTICLE V
NO TERMINATION, ABATEMENT, ETC.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease as to all or any portion of the Leased Property other than by reason of an Event of Default. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall not be affected by reason of, except as expressly set forth in Articles XIV and XV , (i) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof from whatever cause, or any Condemnation of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof or, discontinuance of any service or utility servicing the same; (ii) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof or the interference with such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (iii) any claim that Tenant has or might have against Landlord by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Landlord hereunder or under any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (iv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, consolidation, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (v) for any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing. Tenant hereby specifically waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law (a) to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or (b) which may entitle Tenant to any abatement, deduction, reduction, suspension or deferment of or defense, counterclaim, claim or set-off against the Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder, except in each case as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article V shall preclude

57



Tenant from bringing a separate action against Landlord for any matter described in the foregoing clauses (ii) , (iii) or (v) and Tenant is not waiving other rights and remedies not expressly waived herein. Tenant's agreement that, except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, any eviction by paramount title as described in clause (ii) above shall not affect Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, shall not in any way discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other insurance, and, to the extent the recovery thereof is not necessary to compensate Landlord for any damages incurred by any such eviction, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for any sums recovered by Landlord under any such policy of title or other insurance in respect of any such eviction up to the maximum amount paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Article V and Article XIV hereof in respect of any such eviction or the duration thereof, and Landlord, upon request by Tenant, shall assign Landlord’s rights under such policies to Tenant provided such assignment does not adversely affect Landlord’s rights under any such policy and provided further, that Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such assignment except to the extent such liability, cost or expense arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
ARTICLE VI
OWNERSHIP OF REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
6.1      Ownership of the Leased Property .
(a)      Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that they have executed and delivered this Lease with the understanding that (i) the Leased Property is the property of Landlord, (ii) Tenant has only the right to the possession and use of the Leased Property upon the terms and conditions of this Lease, (iii) this Lease is a “true lease,” is not a financing lease, mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, trust agreement, security agreement or other financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this Lease are those of a true lease, (iv) the business relationship created by this Lease and any related documents is and at all times shall remain that of landlord and tenant, (v) this Lease has been entered into by each Party in reliance upon the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein, and (vi) none of the agreements contained herein is intended, nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership between Landlord and Tenant, to make them joint venturers, to make Tenant an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary or employee of Landlord, or to make Landlord in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or losses of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord is the fee or leasehold (as applicable) and record owner of the Leased Property.
(b)      Each of the Parties covenants and agrees, subject to Section 6.1(d) , not to (i) file any income tax return or other associated documents, (ii) file any other document with or submit any document to any governmental body or authority, or (iii) enter into any written contractual arrangement with any Person, in each case that takes a position other than that this Lease is a “true lease” with Landlord as owner of the Leased Property (except as expressly set forth below) and Tenant as the tenant of the Leased Property.  For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, Landlord and Tenant agree that (x) Landlord shall be treated as the owner of the Leased Property eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 or 168 of the Code with respect to the

58



Leased Property excluding the Leased Property described in clauses (y) and (z) below, (y) Tenant shall be treated as owner of, and eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 or 168 of the Code with respect to, all Tenant Capital Improvements (including, for avoidance of doubt and for purposes of this sentence, Tenant Material Capital Improvements) and Material Capital Improvements funded by Landlord pursuant to a Landlord MCI Financing that is treated as a loan for such income tax purposes, and (z) Tenant shall be treated as owner of, and eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 and 168 of the Code with respect to any Leased Improvements (related to any capital improvement projects ongoing as of the Commencement Date for which fifty percent (50%) or less of the costs of such projects have been paid or accrued as of the Commencement Date (the completion of such capital improvement projects being an obligation of Tenant at no cost or expense to Landlord). For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord shall be treated as having received from the Debtors on the Commencement Date, as a capital contribution together with the transfer of the Leased Property to Landlord pursuant to the Bankruptcy Plan, an obligation of Tenant (at no cost or expense to Landlord) to complete any Leased Improvements related to any capital improvement projects ongoing as of the Commencement Date for which more than fifty percent (50%) of the costs of such projects have been paid or accrued as of the Commencement Date.
(c)      If, notwithstanding (i) the form and substance of this Lease, (ii) the intent of the Parties, and (iii) the language contained herein providing that this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property, any court of competent jurisdiction finds that this Lease is a financing arrangement, then this Lease shall be considered a secured financing agreement and Landlord’s title to the Leased Property shall constitute a perfected first priority lien in Landlord’s favor on the Leased Property to secure the payment and performance of all the obligations of Tenant hereunder (and to that end, Tenant hereby grants, assigns and transfers to Landlord a security interest in all right, title or interest in or to any and all of the Leased Property, as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of Tenant’s obligations hereunder). In such event, Tenant (and each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) authorizes Landlord, at the expense of Tenant, to make any filings or take other actions as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or advisable in order to effect fully this Lease or to more fully perfect or renew the rights of Landlord, and to subordinate to Landlord the lien of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, with respect to the Leased Property (it being understood that nothing in this Section 6.1(c) shall affect the rights of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Article XVII hereof). At any time and from time to time upon the request of Landlord, and at the expense of Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts as Landlord may reasonably request in order to effect fully this Section 6.1(c) or to more fully perfect or renew the rights of Landlord with respect to the Leased Property as described in this Section 6.1(c) . If Tenant should reasonably conclude that, as a result of a change in law or GAAP accounting standards, or a change in agency interpretation thereof, GAAP or the SEC require treatment different from that set forth in Section 6.1(b) for applicable non-tax purposes, then (x) Tenant shall promptly give prior Notice to Landlord, accompanied by a written statement that references the applicable pronouncement that controls such treatment and contains a brief description and/or analysis that sets forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which Tenant reached such conclusion, and (y) notwithstanding Section 6.1(b) and this Section 6.1(c) , Tenant may comply with such requirements.

59



(d)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that, as of the Commencement Date, for GAAP purposes this Lease is not expected to be treated as a “true lease” and that the Parties will prepare Financial Statements consistent with GAAP (and for purposes of any SEC or other similar governmental filing purposes), as applicable.
(e)      Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Rent is the fair market rent for the use of the Leased Property and was agreed to by Landlord and Tenant on that basis, and the execution and delivery of, and the performance by Tenant of its obligations under, this Lease does not constitute a transfer of all or any part of the Leased Property, but rather the creation of the Leasehold Estate subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
(f)      Tenant waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization of this Lease as anything other than a true lease of the Leased Property. Tenant stipulates and agrees (1) not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of this Lease of the Leased Property as a true lease, and (2) not to assert or take or omit to take any action inconsistent with the agreements and understandings set forth in Section 1.2 , Section 3.5 or this Section 6.1 . The expressions of intent, the waivers, the representations and warranties, the covenants, the agreements and the stipulations set forth in this Section 6.1 are a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease.
6.2      Ownership of Tenant’s Property . Tenant shall, during the entire Term, (a) own (or lease) and maintain (or cause its Subsidiaries, if any, to own (or lease) and maintain) on the Leased Property adequate and sufficient Tenant’s Property, (b) maintain (or cause its Subsidiaries, if any, to maintain) all of such Tenant’s Property in good order, condition and repair, in all cases as shall be necessary and appropriate in order to operate the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use in material compliance with all applicable licensure and certification requirements and in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and Gaming Regulations, and (c) abide by (or cause its Subsidiaries, if any, to abide by) the terms and conditions of, and not in any way cause a termination of, the CPLV Trademark License and the Omnibus Agreement. If any of Tenant’s Property requires replacement in order to comply with the foregoing, Tenant shall replace (or cause a Subsidiary to replace) it with similar property of the same or better quality at Tenant’s (or such Subsidiary’s) sole cost and expense. Subject to the foregoing and the other express terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant and its Subsidiaries, if any, may sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of Tenant’s Property in their discretion in the ordinary course of their business and Landlord shall thereafter have no rights to such sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of Tenant’s Property. In the case of any such Tenant’s Property that is leased (rather than owned) by Tenant (or its Subsidiaries, if any), Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any agreements entered into after the Commencement Date pursuant to which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries, if any) leases such Tenant’s Property are assignable to third parties in connection with any transfer by Tenant (or its Subsidiaries, if any) to a replacement lessee or operator at the end of the Term. To the extent not transferred to a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI hereof (and subject to the rights of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Article XVII and the terms and conditions of the Transition Services Agreement), Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property from the Leased Property at the end of the Term. Any Tenant’s Property left on the Leased Property at the end of the Term whose ownership was not transferred to a Permitted

60



Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee or assignee that entered into or succeeded to a New Lease pursuant to the terms hereof or to a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI hereof shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and shall become the property of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but without limitation of Tenant’s express rights to effect replacements, make dispositions or grant liens with respect to Tenant’s Property under this Section 6.2 , Tenant shall own, hold and/or lease, as applicable, all of the material Tenant’s Property relating to the Leased Property.
ARTICLE VII

Tenant acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property and confirms that Tenant has examined and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property prior to and as of the execution and delivery of this Lease and has found the same to be satisfactory for its purposes hereunder, it being understood and acknowledged by Tenant that, immediately prior to Landlord’s acquisition of the Leased Property and contemporaneous entry into this Lease, Tenant (or its Affiliates) was the owner of all of Landlord’s interest in and to the Leased Property and, accordingly, Tenant is charged with, and deemed to have, full and complete knowledge of all aspects of the condition and state of the Leased Property as of the Commencement Date.

7.2
Use of the Leased Property .
(a)      Tenant shall not use (or cause or permit to be used) the Facility, including the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, including any Capital Improvement, for any use other than the Primary Intended Use without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion. Landlord acknowledges that operation of the Leased Property for its Primary Intended Use generally may require a Gaming License under applicable Gaming Regulations and that without such a license, if applicable, neither Landlord nor Landlord REIT may operate, control or participate in the conduct of the gaming operations at the Facility. Tenant acknowledges that operation of the Facility for its Primary Intended Use generally may require a Gaming License under applicable Gaming Regulations and that without such a license, if applicable, Tenant may not operate, control or participate in the conduct of the gaming operations at the Facility.
(b)      Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste with respect to the Facility, including on or to the Leased Property (and, without limitation, to the Capital Improvements) or cause or permit any nuisance thereon or, except as required by law, knowingly take or suffer any action or condition that will diminish in any material respect, the ability of the Leased Property to be used as a Gaming Facility (or otherwise for the Primary Intended Use) after the Expiration Date.

Without limiting the foregoing, (1) Tenant will not impose or permit the imposition of any restrictive covenants, easements or other encumbrances upon the Leased Property (including, subject to the last paragraph of Section 16.1 , any restriction, covenant, easement or other encumbrance which Tenant may otherwise impose or permit to be imposed pursuant to the provisions of any Permitted Exception Document) without Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided , that , Landlord is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement, and (2) other than any liens or other encumbrances granted to a Fee Mortgagee, Landlord will not enter into, amend or otherwise modify agreements that encumber the Leased Property (including any Property Document) without Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided , that , Tenant

62



is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement. Landlord agrees it will not withhold consent to utility easements and other similar encumbrances made in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business conducted on the Leased Property in accordance with the Primary Intended Use, provided the same does not adversely affect in any material respect the use or utility of the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use. Nothing in the foregoing is intended to vitiate or supersede Tenant’s right to enter into Permitted Leasehold Mortgages or Landlord’s right to enter into Fee Mortgages in each case as and to the extent provided herein.
(d)      Except to the extent resulting from a Permitted Operation Interruption, Tenant shall cause the Facility to be Continuously Operated during the Term.
(e)      Subject to Article XII regarding permitted contests, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly (i) comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements affecting the Facility and the business conducted thereat, including those regarding the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Property or any portion thereof (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property whether or not compliance therewith may require structural changes in any of the Leased Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, and (ii) procure, maintain and comply in all material respects with all Gaming Regulations and Gaming Licenses, and other authorizations required for the use of the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property for the applicable Primary Intended Use and any other use of the Leased Property (and Capital Improvements then being made) and Tenant’s Property, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Property and Tenant’s Property.

(a)      This Lease, to the extent affecting and solely with respect to the Ground Leased Property, is and shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of the Ground

63



Leases and to all liens, rights and encumbrances to which the Ground Leases are subject or subordinate. Tenant hereby agrees that (x) subject to Section 7.3(g) and Section 7.3(h) , Tenant shall comply with all provisions, terms and conditions of any new Ground Leases, except to the extent such provisions, terms and conditions (1) apply solely to Landlord and (2) are not susceptible of being performed (or if breached, are not capable of being cured) by Tenant (provisions, terms and conditions satisfying clauses (1) and (2) , “ Landlord Specific Ground Lease Requirements ”), and (y) Tenant shall not do, or (except with respect to Landlord Specific Ground Lease Requirements) fail to do, anything that would cause any violation of the Ground Leases. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Tenant acknowledges that it shall be obligated to (and shall) pay, as part of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all monetary obligations imposed upon Landlord as the lessee under any and all of the Ground Leases in accordance with Section 4.1 , including, without limitation, any rent and additional rent payable thereunder and shall, upon request, provide satisfactory proof evidencing such payments to Landlord, (ii) to the extent Landlord is required to obtain the written consent of the lessor under any applicable Ground Lease (in each case, the “ Ground Lessor ”) to alterations of or the subleasing of all or any portion of the Ground Leased Property pursuant to any Ground Lease, Tenant shall likewise obtain the applicable Ground Lessor’s written consent to alterations of or the sub-subleasing of all or any portion of the Ground Leased Property (in each case, to the extent the same is permitted hereunder), and (iii) (without limitation of the Insurance Requirements hereunder) Tenant shall carry and maintain general liability, automobile liability, property and casualty, worker’s compensation, employer’s liability insurance and such other insurance, if any, in amounts and with policy provisions, coverages and certificates as required of Landlord as tenant under any applicable Ground Lease. The foregoing is not intended to vitiate or supersede Landlord’s rights as lessee under any Ground Lease, and, without limitation of the preceding portion of this sentence or of any other rights or remedies of Landlord hereunder, in the event Tenant fails to comply with its obligations with respect to Ground Leases as described herein (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods thereunder), Landlord shall have the right (but without any obligation to Tenant or any liability for failure to exercise such right), following written notice to Tenant and the passage of a reasonable period of time (except to the extent the failure is of a nature such that it is not practicable for Landlord to provide such prior written notice, in which event Landlord shall provide written notice as soon as practicable) to cure such failure, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with curing such failure. The parties acknowledge that the Ground Leases on the one hand, and this Lease on the other hand, constitute separate contractual arrangements among separate parties and nothing in this Lease shall vitiate or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties to the Ground Leases, and nothing in the Ground Leases shall vitiate or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto pursuant to this Lease (except as specifically set forth in this Section 7.3 ).
(b)      Subject to Section 7.3(c) below, in the event of cancellation or termination of any Ground Lease for any reason whatsoever whether voluntary or involuntary (by operation of law or otherwise) prior to the expiration date of this Lease, including extensions and renewals granted thereunder (other than the cancellation or termination of a Ground Lease entered into in connection with a sale-leaseback transaction by Landlord (other than if such cancellation or termination resulted from Tenant’s default under this Lease), which cancellation or termination results in the Leased Property leased under such Ground Lease no longer being subject to this Lease), then, this Lease and Tenant’s obligation to pay the Rent and Additional Charges hereunder and all other obligations

64



of Tenant hereunder (other than such obligations of Tenant hereunder that concern solely the applicable Ground Leased Property demised under the affected Ground Lease) shall continue unabated; provided that if Landlord (or any Fee Mortgagee) enters into a replacement lease with respect to the applicable Ground Leased Property on substantially similar terms to those of such cancelled or terminated Ground Lease, then such replacement lease shall automatically become a Ground Lease hereunder and such Ground Leased Property shall remain part of the Leased Property hereunder. Nothing contained in this Lease shall create, or be construed as creating, any privity of contract or privity of estate between Ground Lessor and Tenant.
(c)      With respect to any Ground Leased Property, the Ground Lease for which has an expiration date (taking into account any renewal options exercised thereunder as of the Commencement Date or hereafter exercised) prior to the expiration of the Term (taking into account any exercised renewal options hereunder), this Lease shall expire solely with respect to such Ground Leased Property concurrently with such Ground Lease expiration date (taking into account the terms of the following sentences of this Section 7.3(c) ). There shall be no reduction in Rent nor Required Capital Expenditures by reason of such expiration with respect to, and the corresponding removal from this Lease of, any such Ground Leased Property. Landlord (as ground lessee) shall be required to exercise all renewal options contained in each Ground Lease so as to extend the term thereof ( provided , that Tenant shall furnish to Landlord written notice of the outside date by which any such renewal option must be exercised in order to validly extend the term of any such Ground Lease; such notice shall be delivered no earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the earliest date any such option may be validly exercised and no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the outside date by which such option must be validly exercised, which notice shall be followed by a second notice from Tenant to Landlord of such outside date, such notice to be furnished to Landlord no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the outside date), and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of Landlord’s exercise of such renewal option. With respect to any Ground Lease that otherwise would expire during the Term, Tenant, on Landlord’s behalf, shall have the right to negotiate for a renewal or replacement of such Ground Lease with the third-party ground lessor, on terms satisfactory to Tenant (subject, (i) to Landlord’s reasonable consent with respect to the provisions, terms and conditions thereof which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Landlord, and (ii) in the case of any such renewal or replacement that would extend the term of such Ground Lease beyond the Term, to Landlord’s sole right to approve any such provisions, terms and conditions that would be applicable beyond the Term).
(d)      Nothing contained in this Lease amends, or shall be construed to amend, any provision of the Ground Leases .
(e)      Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties, the Ground Lessor, any master lessor to Ground Lessor and any other party entitled to be indemnified by Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Ground Lease from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with the Facility and/or this Lease with respect to which such party is entitled to indemnification by Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Ground Lease, and from and against all costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon to the extent provided in the applicable Ground Lease; and in case any such action or proceeding be brought against any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties,

65



any Ground Lessor or any master lessor to Ground Lessor or any such party by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord or any of its Affiliates or such other Landlord Indemnified Party, such Ground Lessor or such master lessor to Ground Lessor or any such party, shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party or parties indemnified pursuant to this paragraph or the Ground Lease . Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties, the Ground Lessor, any master lessor to Ground Lessor or any other party from or against any claims to the extent resulting from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or (ii) the actions of Landlord except if such actions are the result of Tenant’s failure, in violation of this Lease, to act.
(f)      To the extent required under the applicable Ground Lease, Tenant hereby waives any and all rights of recovery (including subrogation rights of its insurers) from the applicable Ground Lessor, its agents, principals, employees and representatives for any loss or damage, including consequential loss or damage, covered by any insurance policy maintained by Tenant, whether or not such policy is required under the terms of the Ground Lease.
(g)      Landlord shall not enter into any new ground leases with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof (except as provided by Section 7.3(h) ), or amend, modify or terminate any existing Ground Leases (except as provided by Section 7.3(b) or Section 7.3(c)) , in each case without Tenant’s prior written consent in its reasonable discretion, provided , that , Landlord may amend or modify Ground Leases in a manner that will not adversely affect Tenant ( e.g ., an amendment relating to a period following the end of the Term), and Landlord may acquire the fee interest in the property leased pursuant to any Ground Lease, so long as Tenant’s rights and obligations hereunder are not adversely affected thereby.
(h)      Landlord may enter into new Ground Leases with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof (including pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction) or amend or modify any such Ground Leases, provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than replacement Ground Lease(s) made pursuant to Section 7.3(b) or Ground Lease(s) made pursuant to the final sentence of Section 7.3(c) ), Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any additional or more onerous obligations under such new ground lease or amendment or modification thereof with which Tenant is not otherwise obligated to comply under this Lease (and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to incur any additional monetary obligations (whether for payment of rents under such new Ground Lease or otherwise) in connection with such new Ground Lease) (except to a de minimis extent), unless Tenant approves such additional obligations in its sole and absolute discretion.
7.4      Third-Party Reports .

For the avoidance of doubt, any funds disbursed from the FF&E Reserve and spent on and/or as reimbursement for the costs of Capital Expenditures that constitute Permitted FF&E Expenditures shall be applied toward the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements. Any FF&E Reserve Funds remaining in the FF&E Reserve on the Expiration Date or on any earlier date that they are no longer required hereunder (including, without limitation, on the Trigger Date) shall be returned by Landlord or Fee Mortgagee to Tenant, provided that Landlord shall have the right to offset such payment by any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord as of the Expiration Date.

9.7      Lender FF&E Reserve .

For avoidance of doubt, (x) Landlord’s obligations under Section 7.1 of the loan agreement (the “ Existing Fee Mortgage Loan Agreement ”) in respect of the Existing Fee Mortgage (or any successor provision thereto) shall not be an “Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirement” under this Lease (except that Landlord’s obligation under Section 7.1.3 of the Existing Fee Mortgage Loan Agreement to cause Tenant to grant the Existing Fee Mortgagee the right to enter onto the Property for the purposes set forth therein as of the date hereof shall be an “Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirement” under this Lease provided that Tenant shall not be required to pay or reimburse any amounts to Landlord or the Existing Fee Mortgagee to the extent arising from the exercise by the Existing Fee Mortgagee of such entry right, except to the extent Tenant is separately required to pay or reimburse such amounts to Landlord under Section 9.7(b) ) and (y) the Lender FF&E Replacement Reserve Fund is not included within the meaning of the term “Fee Mortgage Reserve Account” as used in this Lease.
(b)      If (i) (x) a Tenant Event of Default has occurred, (y) such Tenant Event of Default results in a default under the Existing Fee Mortgage, and (z) Tenant transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of any Tenant’s Property outside the ordinary course of business or otherwise in violation of the requirements of the Lease (which transfer, conveyance or disposition occurs prior to the earlier of the Trigger Date and the date of any assignment of this Lease pursuant to Section 22.2(i)(b) of this Lease that complies with the requirements set forth in Section 22.2(i)(1)(A) and Sections 22.2(i)(2) through (5) of this Lease), and as a result thereof there is not adequate and sufficient FF&E on the Leased Property, in a sufficient condition and state of repair, as necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 6.2 of this Lease (the circumstances described in the preceding clauses (x) through (z) are referred to as the “ Section 9.7(b) Clause (i) Conditions ”), and (ii) the Existing Fee Mortgagee applies or disburses sums from the Lender FF&E Replacement Reserve Fund in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Existing Fee Mortgage Documents, then, in any such event, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly following request therefore, the amount of any such sums so applied or disbursed from the Lender FF&E Replacement Reserve Fund (to the extent necessary to remedy the circumstance described in clause (z) of the Section 9.7(b) Clause (i) Conditions). For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation of Guarantor’s obligations under the MLSA, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of Tenant (in each case, the “ Section 9.7(b) Obligation ”) to pay to Landlord such sums as provided in this Section 9.7(b) constitutes a part of the monetary obligations of Tenant that are guaranteed by the Guarantor under the MLSA and shall survive the termination of this Lease.

If any Alteration or Capital Improvement would not or does not meet the standards of the preceding sentence, then such Alteration or Capital Improvement shall be subject to Landlord’s written approval, which written approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Further, except as set forth in Section 10.1(b) , (1) if any Alteration or Capital Improvement (or the aggregate amount of all related Alterations or Capital Improvements) has a total budgeted cost (as reasonably evidenced to Landlord) in excess of Seventy-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00) (the “ Alteration Threshold ”), then such Alteration or Capital Improvement (or series of related Alterations or Capital Improvements) shall be subject to the approval of Landlord and, if applicable, subject to Section 31.3 , any Fee Mortgagee, in each case which written approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (2) until the Trigger Date, if the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to such Alteration or Capital Improvement (net of such amounts constituting Permitted FF&E Expenditures for which sufficient FF&E Reserve Funds are on deposit in the FF&E Reserve) exceed the Alteration Threshold, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, any of the following, in each case in an amount equal to the amount by which the budgeted cost of such Alteration or Capital Improvement (net of any portion of such Alteration or Capital Improvement consisting of Permitted FF&E Expenditures to the extent of the FF&E Reserve Funds on deposit in the FF&E Reserve) exceeds the Alteration Threshold: (A) cash, (B) cash equivalents, or (C) a Letter of Credit (the “ Alteration Security ”). If the Alteration Security is in the form of cash, if required by Fee Mortgagee, such security may be deposited into the FF&E Reserve. On a monthly basis during the construction of any such Alteration or Capital Improvement for which Alteration Security has been deposited, Tenant shall be entitled (either pursuant to a separate agreement to be entered into directly between Tenant and Fee Mortgagee, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant, or, if no such agreement is entered into, then as an obligation of Landlord hereunder) to receive a portion of such Alteration Security, to be disbursed to Tenant (in the case of cash or cash equivalents) or reduced (in the case of a Letter of Credit), as applicable, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, in the amount required to reimburse Tenant for (or to enable Tenant to pay) the cost of such Alteration or Capital Improvement in amounts equal to the actual costs incurred by Tenant for such Alteration or Capital Improvement, subject to delivery by Tenant to Landlord of invoices related to the work performed, and subject: (a) to compliance by Tenant with the applicable provisions of any Fee Mortgage

71



Documents then in effect to the extent Tenant is required to comply therewith pursuant to Article XXXI hereof, and (b) in the event no Fee Mortgage then exists and Landlord is holding the Alteration Security, to the condition that no Tenant Event of Default exist at the time of determination and subject to the other applicable provisions of this Article X. To the extent that any Alteration Security has been delivered and has not been returned to Tenant by the occurrence of the Trigger Date, Tenant shall be entitled (either pursuant to a separate agreement to be entered into directly between Tenant and Fee Mortgagee, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant, or, if no such agreement is entered into, then as an obligation of Landlord hereunder) to receive all such outstanding Alteration Security on the Trigger Date. Landlord shall have the right (in addition to any construction consultant engaged by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to satisfy any applicable Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirement) to also select and engage, at Landlord’s cost and expense, construction consultants to conduct inspections of the Leased Property during the construction of any Material Capital Improvements, provided that (x) such inspections shall be conducted in a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with such construction or the operation of the Facility, (y) prior to entering the Leased Property, such consultants shall deliver to Tenant evidence of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and (z) (irrespective of whether the consultant was engaged by Landlord, Tenant or otherwise) Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to receive copies of such consultants’ work product and shall have direct access to and communication with such consultants. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be required to deposit any Alteration Security after the Trigger Date.
(b)      Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to obtain the consent of Landlord or any Fee Mortgagee, and shall not be required to deposit the Alteration Security, in connection with the construction of the New Tower, provided that (i) Tenant satisfies the applicable conditions, and complies with the applicable requirements, for construction of the New Tower as set forth in the Fee Mortgage Documents as in effect on the Commencement Date , and (ii) Tenant otherwise complies with the terms and conditions of this Lease with respect to the construction of the New Tower (including, without limitation, the right-of-first-offer procedures set forth in Section 10.4 ). Without limitation of the preceding sentence or any other provisions of this Lease pertaining to Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements, Tenant shall comply with all of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Existing Fee Mortgage and any related Fee Mortgage Documents (in each case as in effect on the Commencement Date) applicable to the New Tower, and without limitation, upon commencement of any construction work on the New Tower, Tenant will proceed with construction, and complete the same, in compliance with all applicable provisions, terms and conditions of the Existing Fee Mortgage and any related Fee Mortgage Documents (in each case as in effect on the Commencement Date), and all applicable provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease.

Such description shall indicate the use or uses to which such Alteration or Capital Improvement will be put and the impact, if any, on current and forecasted

72



gross revenues and operating income attributable thereto. Landlord may condition any approval of any Alteration or Capital Improvement (including any Material Capital Improvement), to the extent required pursuant to Section 10.1 above, upon any or all of the following terms and conditions, to the extent reasonable under the circumstances:

In advance of commencing any Work in connection with any Material Capital Improvement (provided, for purposes of clarification, that preliminary planning, designing, budgeting, evaluating (including environmental and integrity testing and the like) (collectively, “ Preliminary Studies ”), permitting and demolishing in preparation for such Material Capital Improvement shall not be considered “commencing” for purposes hereof), Tenant shall provide written notice (“ Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice ”) of Tenant’s intent to do so. Upon Landlord’s request, such notice shall be followed by (i) a reasonably detailed description of the proposed Material Capital Improvement, (ii) the then-projected cost of construction of the proposed Material Capital Improvement, (iii) copies of the plans and specifications, permits, licenses, contracts and Preliminary Studies concerning the proposed Material Capital Improvement, to the extent then-available, (iv) reasonable evidence that such proposed Material Capital Improvement will, upon completion, comply with all applicable Legal Requirements, and (v) reasonably detailed information regarding the terms upon which Tenant is considering seeking financing therefor, if any. To the extent in Tenant’s possession or control, Tenant shall provide to Landlord any additional information about such proposed Material Capital Improvements which Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord (or, with respect to financing structured as a loan rather than as ownership of the real property by Landlord with a lease back to Tenant, Landlord’s Affiliate) may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide all (but not less than all) of the financing necessary to fund the applicable Material Capital Improvement (along with related fees and expenses, such as title fees, costs of permits, legal fees and other similar transaction costs) by complying with the option exercise requirements set forth below. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing as to whether Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) is willing to provide financing for such proposed Material Capital Improvement and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) is willing to do so in reasonable detail, in the form of a proposed term sheet (such terms and conditions, “ Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal ”). Upon receipt, Tenant shall have ten (10) days to accept, reject or commence negotiating Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal.
(b)      If Tenant Accepts Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal .

75



(c)      If Landlord Declines to Make Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Landlord declines or fails to timely submit Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal, Tenant shall be permitted to either (1) use then-existing available financing or, subject to Article XVII , enter into financing arrangements with any lender, preferred equity holder and/or other third-party financing source (a “ Third‑Party MCI Financing ”) for such Material Capital Improvement or (2) use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, provided , that if Tenant has not used then-existing, or entered into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing (or commenced such Material Capital Improvement utilizing Cash) by the date that is nine (9) months following delivery of Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice, then, prior to entering into any such Third‑Party MCI Financing and/or commencing such Material Capital Improvement, Tenant shall again be required to send Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice seeking financing from Landlord (on the terms contemplated by this Section 10.4 ).
(d)      If Tenant Declines Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Landlord timely submits Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal and Tenant rejects or fails to accept or commence negotiating Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal within the applicable 10‑day period (or, following commencing negotiating said proposal, Tenant notifies Landlord of Tenant’s decision to cease such discussions), then, subject to the remaining terms of this paragraph, Tenant shall be permitted to either (1) use then-existing, or, subject to Article XVII , enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing for such Material Capital Improvement (subject to the following proviso) or (2) use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, provided , that Tenant may not use then-existing, or enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing, except in each case on terms that are, taken as a whole, economically more advantageous to Tenant than those offered under Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal. In determining if financing is economically more advantageous, consideration may be given to, among other items, (x) pricing, amortization, length of term and duration of commitment period of such financing; (y) the cost, availability and terms of any financing sufficient to fund such Material Capital Improvement and other expenditures which are material in relation to the cost of such Material Capital Improvement (if any) which are intended to be funded in connection with the construction of such Material Capital Improvement and which are related to the use and operation of such Material Capital Improvement and (z) other customary considerations. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable evidence of the terms of any such financing. If Tenant has not used then-existing, or entered into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing (or commenced such Material Capital Improvement utilizing Cash) by the date that is nine (9) months following receipt of Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal, then, prior to entering into any such Third‑Party MCI Financing and/or commencing such Material Capital Improvement after such nine (9) month period, Tenant shall again be required to send Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice seeking financing from Landlord (on the terms contemplated by this Section 10.4 ). For purposes of clarification, Tenant may use Cash to finance any applicable Material Capital Improvement (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to provide Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice).
(e)      Ownership of Material Capital Improvements Not Financed by Landlord . If Tenant constructs a Material Capital Improvement utilizing Third‑Party MCI Financing or Cash in accordance with Sections 10.4(c) or (d) (such Material Capital Improvement being sometimes referred to in this Lease as a “ Tenant Material Capital Improvement ”), then, (A) as and when constructed, such Material Capital Improvement shall be owned by Landlord and deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes except as specifically provided in this Section and Section

76



6.1(b) , (B) upon any termination of this Lease prior to the Stated Expiration Date as a result of a Tenant Event of Default (except in the event a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee has exercised its right to obtain a New Lease and complies in all respects with Section 17.1(f) and any other applicable provisions of this Lease), such Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Landlord without any reimbursement by Landlord to Tenant, and, (C) if a foreclosure occurs with respect to any Fee Mortgage (including any mezzanine financing obtained by Affiliates of Landlord that is secured by the direct or indirect equity interests in Landlord) that results in the Fee Mortgagee thereunder (or its assignee or designee) becoming Landlord hereunder or obtaining ownership of all of the direct or indirect equity interests in Landlord, then, upon the Stated Expiration Date, such Material Capital Improvements shall be surrendered to (and all rights therein shall be relinquished in favor of) Landlord without any obligation to reimburse Tenant as set forth in this Section 10.4(e) , and, (D) except in the circumstances described in the foregoing clause (C) , upon the Stated Expiration Date, such Material Capital Improvements shall be transferred to Tenant; provided , however , upon written notice to Tenant at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, Landlord shall have the option to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements in an amount equal to the Fair Market Ownership Value thereof, and, if Landlord elects to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements, any amount due to Tenant for such reimbursement shall be credited against any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as of the Stated Expiration Date and any remaining portion of such amount shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant on the Stated Expiration Date. If Landlord fails to deliver such written notice electing to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, or otherwise does not consummate such reimbursement at least sixty (60) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date (other than as a result of Tenant’s acts or omissions in violation of this Lease), then Landlord shall be deemed to have elected not to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements. If Landlord elects or is deemed to have elected not to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements in accordance with the foregoing sentence, Tenant shall have the option to either (1) prior to the Stated Expiration Date, remove such Tenant Material Capital Improvements and restore the affected Leased Property to the same or better condition existing prior to such Tenant Material Capital Improvement being constructed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in which event such removed Tenant Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Tenant (except, however, if a foreclosure occurs with respect to any Fee Mortgage (including any mezzanine financing obtained by Affiliates of Landlord that is secured by the direct or indirect equity interests in Landlord) that results in the Fee Mortgagee thereunder (or its assignee or designee) becoming Landlord hereunder or obtaining ownership of all of the direct or indirect equity interests in Landlord, then Tenant shall have no such right to remove the Tenant Material Capital Improvements, and the following clause (2) shall apply), or (2) leave the applicable Tenant Material Capital Improvements at the Leased Property at the Stated Expiration Date, at no cost to Landlord, in which event such Tenant Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Landlord. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant Material Capital Improvements not funded by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.4 and not removed by Tenant in accordance herewith shall be included in the “Leased Property” under any lease entered into with a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI and shall be taken into account in determining Successor Tenant Rent.

77



(f)      Landlord MCI Financing . In the event of an Accepted MCI Financing Proposal, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the following prior to any advance of funds under such Landlord MCI Financing:
(i)      any information, certificates, licenses, permits or documents reasonably requested by Landlord which are necessary and obtainable to confirm that Tenant will be able to use the Material Capital Improvements upon completion thereof in accordance with the Primary Intended Use, including all required federal, state or local government licenses and approvals;
(ii)      an officer’s certificate and, if requested, a certificate from Tenant’s Architect providing appropriate backup information, setting forth in reasonable detail the projected or actual costs related to such Material Capital Improvements;
(iii)      except to the extent covered by the amendment referenced in clause (iv) below, a construction loan and/or funding agreement (and such other related instruments and agreements), in a form reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, reflecting the terms of the Landlord MCI Financing, setting forth the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal, and without additional requirements on Tenant (including, without limitation, additional bonding or guaranty requirements) except those which are reasonable and customary and consistent in all respects with this Section 10.4 and the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal;
(iv)      except to the extent covered by the construction loan and/or funding agreement referenced in clause (iii) above, an amendment to this Lease, in a form reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, which may include, among other things, an increase in the Rent (in amounts as agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal), and other provisions as may be necessary or appropriate;
(v)      a deed conveying title to Landlord to any additional Land acquired for the purpose of constructing the Material Capital Improvement, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances except those approved by Landlord, and accompanied by (x) an owner’s policy of title insurance insuring the Fair Market Ownership Value of fee simple or leasehold (as applicable) title to such Land and any improvements thereon, free of any exceptions other than liens and encumbrances that do not materially interfere with the intended use of the Leased Property or are otherwise approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (y) an ALTA survey thereof;
(vi)      if Landlord obtains a lender’s policy of title insurance in connection with such Landlord MCI Financing, for each advance, endorsements to any such policy of title insurance reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord (i) updating the same without any additional exception except those that do not materially affect the value of such land and do not interfere with the intended use of the Leased Property, or as may otherwise be permitted under this Lease, or as may be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) increasing the coverage thereof by an amount equal to the then-advanced cost of the Material Capital Improvement; and

78



(vii)      such other billing statements, invoices, certificates, endorsements, opinions, site assessments, surveys, resolutions, ratifications, lien releases and waivers and other instruments and information which are reasonable and customary and consistent in all respects with this Section 10.4 and the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal.
In the event that (1) Tenant is unable, for reasons beyond Tenant’s reasonable control, to satisfy any of the requirements set forth in this Section 10.4(f) (and Landlord is unable or unwilling to waive the same), (2) Landlord and Tenant are unable (despite good faith efforts continuing for at least sixty (60) days after agreement on the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal) to agree on any of the requirements of, or the form of any document required under, this Section 10.4(f) , or (3) Landlord fails or refuses to consummate the Landlord MCI Financing and/or advance funds thereunder, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.4 , Tenant shall be entitled to use then-existing, or, subject to Article XVII , enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing for such Material Capital Improvement or use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, without any requirement to send a further Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice to Landlord, provided such Material Capital Improvement shall be treated hereunder as a Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless the circumstances described in clause (1) shall have occurred.
10.5      Minimum Capital Expenditures .
(a)      Minimum Capital Expenditures .
(i)      Intentionally omitted.
(ii)      Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement . During each full Fiscal Year during the Term, commencing upon the first (1st) full Fiscal Year during the Term, measured as of the last day of each such Fiscal Year, Tenant shall expend Capital Expenditures with respect to the Leased Property in an aggregate amount equal to at least one percent (1%) of the Net Revenue from the Facility for the prior Fiscal Year, on Capital Expenditures that constitute installation or restoration and repair or other improvements of items with respect to the Leased Property under this Lease (the “ Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement ”). In the event of expiration, cancellation or termination of any Ground Lease for any reason whatsoever whether voluntary or involuntary (by operation of law or otherwise), except for a cancellation or termination due to Landlord’s failure to extend the term thereof where Landlord was required to do so hereunder, prior to the expiration date of this Lease, including extensions and renewals granted thereunder, then, for purposes of calculating the amount of Net Revenue from the Facility for determining the Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement, the Net Revenue attributable to the portion of the Leased Property subject to such Ground Lease for the Lease Year immediately prior to such expiration, cancellation or termination of such Ground Lease thereafter shall continue to be included in the calculation of Net Revenue (except to the extent such Ground Lease is replaced by a replacement Ground Lease for all or substantially all of such portion of the Leased Property).
(iii)      Intentionally Omitted .

79



(iv)      Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B . During each full Triennial Period during the Term, commencing upon the first (1st) full Triennial Period during the Term, measured as of the last day of each such Triennial Period, Tenant shall expend Capital Expenditures in an aggregate amount equal to no less than the greater of (a) the amount which, when added to the amount of Other Capital Expenditures expended by the Other Tenants toward the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B (as defined in the Other Leases) during the same time period, equals the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B, but in no event more than the Triennial Allocated Minimum Cap Ex Amount B Ceiling, and (b) the Triennial Allocated Minimum Cap Ex Amount B Floor (the “ Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B ”).
(v)      Partial Periods . If the initial or final portion of the Term of this Lease is a partial calendar year (i.e., the Commencement Date of this Lease is other than January 1 or the Expiration Date is other than December 31, as applicable; any such partial calendar year, a “ Stub Period ”), then the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B shall be adjusted as follows: (a) the initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period under this Lease shall be expanded so that it covers both the Stub Period and the first (1st) (or final, as applicable) full period of three calendar years during the Term, (b) the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B for such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Cap Ex Calculation Period shall be equal to (x) Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00), plus (y) the product of the Stub Period Multiplier multiplied by One Hundred Sixteen Million Six Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six and No/100 Dollars ($116,666,666.00), and (c) the Triennial Allocated Minimum Cap Ex Amount B Floor for such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period shall remain unchanged from the amounts then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B is reduced in accordance with the definition thereof, then (1) the Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00) in the foregoing clause (b)(x) shall be modified to reflect the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B then in effect at the time of determination and (2) the One Hundred Sixteen Million Six Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six and No/100 Dollars ($116,666,666.00) in the foregoing clause (b)(y) shall be modified to reflect the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B then in effect divided by three (3). The term “ Stub Period Multiplier ” means a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of days occurring in a Stub Period, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Expiration Date of this Lease is other than the last day of a Fiscal Year, then Tenant’s compliance with each of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements during the applicable periods preceding such Expiration Date that would otherwise end after such Expiration Date shall be measured as of such Expiration Date and be subject to the prorations set forth above.
(vi)      Acquisitions of Material Property . If any real property having a value greater than Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) (other than the Leased Property (Octavius) or the Chester Property) is acquired by Landlord or its Affiliate and included in this Lease or an Other Lease as part of the Leased Property or Other Leased Property (as applicable), then (A) the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements shall be adjusted and (B) the amount of Services Co Capital Expenditures which may be credited against Capital Expenditures under the Other Leases shall be proportionately increased, in each case as may be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant in connection

80



with such acquisition and the inclusion of such property as Leased Property or Other Leased Property hereunder or thereunder.
(vii)      Dispositions of Material Property . In the event of a termination of this Lease or partial or total termination of an Other Lease or the disposition of any Material Leased Property or Material London Property, in each case for which the Minimum Cap Ex Amounts are to be decreased in accordance herewith, and such termination or disposition occurs on any day other than the first (1st) day of a Fiscal Year, then, for purposes of determining Required Capital Expenditures and adjusting the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, as applicable, such termination or disposition and the associated reduction in the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements each shall be deemed to have occurred on the first (1st) day of the then-current Fiscal Year, such that Capital Expenditures with respect to the applicable terminated or disposed property shall not be counted toward the calculation of Required Capital Expenditures for such entire Fiscal Year, and the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements shall be adjusted (as applicable) to reflect such termination or disposition as applicable and the associated reduction in the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for such entire Fiscal Year.
(viii)      Application of Capital Expenditures . For the avoidance of doubt: (A) Required Capital Expenditures counted toward satisfying one of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements also shall count (to the extent applicable) toward satisfying the other Minimum Cap Ex Requirements except to the extent otherwise provided herein; (B) expenditures with respect to any property that is not included as Leased Property or Other Leased Property under this Lease or an Other Lease (as applicable) shall not constitute “Capital Expenditures” nor count toward the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for purposes of the Leased Property Tests; (C) expenditures with respect to any property acquired by CEOC or its subsidiaries after the Commencement Date which is not included as Leased Property or Other Leased Property under this Lease or an Other Lease (as applicable) shall not constitute “Capital Expenditures” nor count toward the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for purposes of the Leased Property Tests, and (D) expenditures with respect to any property (other than the London Clubs) which is not included as Leased Property or Other Leased Property under this Lease or an Other Lease (as applicable) shall not constitute “Capital Expenditures”.
(ix)      Unavoidable Delays . In the event an Unavoidable Delay occurs during any full Fiscal Year or full Triennial Period during the Term that delays Tenant’s ability to perform Capital Expenditures prior to the expiration of such period, the applicable period for satisfying the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements applicable to such Fiscal Year or Triennial Period (as applicable) during which such Unavoidable Delay occurred shall be extended, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay affects Tenant’s ability to perform the Capital Expenditures, up to a maximum extension in each instance of one (1) Fiscal Year (for the Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement) or one (1) Triennial Period (for the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B). For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s obligation to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements during any period during which an Unavoidable Delay did not occur shall not be extended as a result of the occurrence of an Unavoidable Delay during a prior period.

81



(x)      Certain Remedies . The Parties acknowledge that Tenant’s agreement to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements as required in this Lease is a material inducement to Landlord’s agreement to enter into this Lease, the MLSA and the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements and, accordingly, if Tenant fails to expend Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve) as and when required by this Lease and then, further, fails to cure such failure within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice of such failure from Landlord, then the same shall be a Tenant Event of Default hereunder, and without limitation of any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies, Landlord shall have the right to seek the remedy of specific performance to require Tenant to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve). Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation of Guarantor’s obligations under the MLSA (and as more particularly provided therein), Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of Tenant to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve) as provided in this Lease in each case constitutes a part of the monetary obligations of Tenant that are guaranteed by the Guarantor under the MLSA and, with respect to Required Capital Expenditures required to be spent during the Term, shall survive termination of this Lease.
(b)      Cap Ex Reserve .
(i)      Deposits in Lieu of Expenditures . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if Tenant and Other Tenants do not expend Capital Expenditures and Other Capital Expenditures sufficient to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, then, so long as, as of the last date when such Minimum Cap Ex Requirements may be satisfied hereunder, there are Cap Ex Reserve Funds (as defined below) and Cap Ex Reserve Funds (as defined in each Other Lease) on deposit in the Cap Ex Reserve (as defined below) or in the Cap Ex Reserve (as defined in each Other Lease) in an aggregate amount at least equal to such deficiency, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in breach or default of its obligations hereunder to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, provided that Tenant (or Other Tenants, as applicable), shall spend such amounts so deposited in the Cap Ex Reserve (as defined herein or in an Other Lease, as applicable) within six (6) months after the last date when the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements to which such amounts relate may be satisfied hereunder (subject to extension in the event of an Unavoidable Delay during such six (6) month period, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay affects Tenant’s ability to perform the Capital Expenditures). For the avoidance of doubt, any funds disbursed from the Cap Ex Reserve and spent on Capital Expenditures as described in this Section shall be applied to the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for the period for which such funds were deposited (and shall be deemed to be the funds that have been in the Cap Ex Reserve for the longest period of time) and shall not be applied to the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for the subsequent period in which they are actually spent.
(ii)      Deposits into Cap Ex Reserve . Tenant may, at its election, at any time, deposit funds (the “ Cap Ex Reserve Funds ”) into an Eligible Account held by Tenant (the “ Cap Ex Reserve ”). If required by Fee Mortgagee or Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall (and, if applicable, Tenant shall cause Manager to) enter into a customary and reasonable control agreement for the benefit of Fee Mortgagee and Landlord with respect to the Cap Ex Reserve. Tenant shall not commingle Cap Ex Reserve Funds with other monies held by Tenant or any other party. All interest

82



on Cap Ex Reserve Funds shall be for the benefit of Tenant and added to and become a part of the Cap Ex Reserve and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in the Cap Ex Reserve. Tenant shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Cap Ex Reserve Funds credited or paid to Tenant.
(iii)      Disbursements from Cap Ex Reserve . Tenant shall be entitled to use Cap Ex Reserve Funds solely for the purpose of paying for (or reimbursing Tenant for) the cost of Capital Expenditures. Subject to compliance by Tenant with the provisions of the Fee Mortgage Documents to the extent Tenant is required to comply therewith pursuant to Article XXXI hereof, Landlord shall permit disbursements to Tenant of Cap Ex Reserve Funds from the Cap Ex Reserve to pay for Capital Expenditures or to reimburse Tenant for Capital Expenditures, within ten (10) days following written request from Tenant, which request shall specify the amount of the requested disbursement and a general description of the type of Capital Expenditures to be paid or reimbursed using such Cap Ex Reserve Funds. Tenant shall not make a request for disbursement from the Cap Ex Reserve (x) more frequently than once in any calendar month nor (y) in amounts less than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). Any Cap Ex Reserve Funds remaining in the Cap Ex Reserve on satisfaction of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for which such Cap Ex Reserve Funds were deposited or on the Expiration Date shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant, provided that Landlord shall have the right to apply Cap Ex Reserve Funds remaining on the Expiration Date against any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord as of the Expiration Date and/or the sum of any remaining Required Capital Expenditures required to have been incurred prior to the Expiration Date.
(iv)      Security Interest in Cap Ex Reserve Funds . Tenant grants to Landlord a first-priority security interest in the Cap Ex Reserve and all Cap Ex Reserve Funds, as additional security for performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to collaterally assign the security interest granted to Landlord in the Cap Ex Reserve and Cap Ex Reserve Funds to any Fee Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, (i) Landlord may not foreclose upon the lien on the Cap Ex Reserve and Cap Ex Reserve Funds, and Fee Mortgagee may not apply the Cap Ex Reserve Funds against the Fee Mortgage, in each case prior to the occurrence of both (x) the Landlord’s Enforcement Condition and (y) the termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to Section 16.2(x) hereof, (ii) any time during which a Tenant Event of Default is continuing, Fee Mortgagee may apply Cap Ex Reserve Funds toward the payment of Capital Expenditures incurred by Tenant, and (iii) Landlord shall have the right to use Cap Ex Reserve Funds as provided in Section 10.5(e) (in which event, such expenditures of Cap Ex Reserve Funds shall be deemed Capital Expenditures of Tenant for purposes of the Required Capital Expenditures). Landlord acknowledges that a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee may have a Lien on the Cap Ex Reserve; provided no such Lien in favor of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall be granted unless such Lien is subject and subordinate to the first priority lien thereon in favor of Landlord on terms substantially similar to the Intercreditor Agreement.
(c)      Capital Expenditures Report . Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a report, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C  setting forth, with respect to such month, on an unaudited, Facility-by-Facility basis, (A) revenues for the Leased Property and the Other Leased Property, (B) Capital Expenditures

83



with respect to the Leased Property, (C) Other Capital Expenditures with respect to the Other Leased Property, and (D) aggregate Services Co Capital Expenditures on a year-to-date basis and the portion thereof allocated to Tenant and its subsidiaries (and a description of the methodology by which such allocation was made). Landlord shall keep each such report confidential in accordance with Section 41.22 of this Lease.
(d)      Annual Capital Budget . Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, for informational purposes only, a copy of the annual capital budget for the Facility for each Fiscal Year, in each case (x) contemporaneously with Other Tenant’s delivery to the applicable landlord of the applicable annual capital budget for such Fiscal Year pursuant to the Other Lease, and (y) not later than fifty-five (55) days following the commencement of the Fiscal Year to which such annual capital budget relates. For the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of Tenant’s Capital Expenditure requirements pursuant to Section 10.5(a) , Tenant shall not be required to comply with such annual capital budget and it shall not be a breach or default by Tenant hereunder in the event Tenant deviates from such annual capital budget.
(e)      Self Help . In order to facilitate Landlord’s completion of any work, repairs or restoration of any nature that are required to be performed by Tenant in accordance with any provisions hereof, upon the occurrence of the earlier of (i) an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder and (ii) any default by Tenant in the performance of such work under this Lease or as required by any applicable Additional Fee Mortgage Requirement, then, so long as (x) Landlord has provided Tenant thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and Tenant has not cured such default within such thirty day period) and (y) an “Event of Default” has occurred under the Fee Mortgage Documents, Landlord shall have the right, from and after the occurrence of a default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under any applicable Fee Mortgage Documents, to enter onto the Leased Property and perform any and all such work and labor necessary as reasonably determined by Landlord to complete any work required by Tenant hereunder or expend any sums therefor and/or employ watchmen to protect the Leased Property from damage (collectively, the “ Landlord Work ”). In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right: (i) to use any funds in the FF&E Reserve or Cap Ex Reserve (as applicable) for the purpose of making or completing such Landlord Work; (ii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iii) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Leased Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Landlord Work, or for clearance of title; (iv) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Tenant which may be required by any of the contract documents; (v) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Leased Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Leased Property; and (vi) to do any and every act which Tenant might do in its own behalf to complete the Landlord Work. Nothing in this Lease shall: (1) make Landlord responsible for making or completing any Landlord Work; (2) require Landlord to expend funds in addition to the FF&E Reserve or Cap Ex Reserve (as applicable) to make or complete any Landlord Work; (3) obligate Landlord to proceed with any Landlord Work; or (4) obligate Landlord to demand from Tenant additional sums to make or complete any Landlord Work.

85



by Tenant (and the documents relating thereto); provided , however , in no event shall the foregoing be deemed or construed to permit Tenant to encumber the Leasehold Estate (or a Subtenant to encumber its subleasehold interest) in the Leased Property or any portion thereof (other than, in the case of Tenant, to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, or in the case of Subtenant, to a lender or other provider of financing under a financing arrangement that would be a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (disregarding for this purpose, however, the requirement that the liens created by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage encumber the entirety of Tenant’s Leasehold Estate, so long as the applicable subleasehold mortgage covers all of the applicable Subtenant’s subleasehold estate (other than items that are not capable of being mortgaged and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis)) if entered into by Tenant (provided that no such lien granted by a Subtenant to a lender or other provider of financing shall encumber Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Property, including by operation of law or otherwise), or otherwise to the extent expressly permitted hereunder), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; and provided further that upon request Tenant shall be required to provide Landlord with fully executed copies of any and all Permitted Leasehold Mortgages; and (xi) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, easements, rights-of-way, restrictions (including zoning restrictions), covenants, encroachments, protrusions and other similar charges or encumbrances, and minor title deficiencies on or with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof, in each case whether now or hereafter in existence, not individually or in the aggregate materially interfering with the conduct of the business on the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use, taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Tenant has not granted any liens in favor of Landlord as security for its obligations hereunder except as otherwise expressly provided under this Lease, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to prohibit the issuance of a lien on the Equity Interests in Tenant (it being agreed that any foreclosure by a lien holder on such interests in Tenant shall be subject to the restrictions on transfers of interests in Tenant and Change of Control set forth in Article XXII ) or to prohibit Tenant from pledging (A) its Accounts and other Tenant’s Property as collateral (1) in connection with financings of equipment and other purchase money indebtedness or (2) to secure Permitted Leasehold Mortgages, or (B) its Accounts and other property of Tenant (other than Tenant’s Property); provided that, Tenant shall in no event pledge to any Person that is not granted a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage hereunder any of Tenant’s Property to the extent that such Tenant’s Property cannot be removed from the Leased Property without (I) damaging or impairing the Leased Property (other than in a de minimis manner), (II) impairing in any material respect the operation of the Facility for its Primary Intended Use, or (III) impairing in any material respect Landlord’s or any Successor Tenant’s ability to acquire the Gaming Assets at the expiration or termination of the Term in accordance with Section 36.1 (after giving effect to the repayment of any indebtedness encumbering the Gaming Assets and release of any liens thereon as required by such Section 36.1 ).

appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount, validity or application, in whole or in part, of any licensure or certification decision (including pursuant to any Gaming Regulation), imposition of any disciplinary action, including both monetary and nonmonetary, pursuant to any Gaming Regulation, Imposition, Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim; provided , that (i) in the case of an unpaid Imposition, lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or claim, the commencement and continuation of such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from Landlord and from the Leased Property; (ii) neither the Leased Property or any portion thereof, the Rent therefrom nor any part or interest in either thereof would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost pending the outcome of such proceedings; (iii) in the case of a Legal Requirement, neither Landlord nor Tenant would be in any imminent danger of criminal or material civil liability for failure to comply therewith pending the outcome of such proceedings; (iv) in the case of a Legal Requirement, Imposition, lien, encumbrance or charge, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord security in the form of cash, cash equivalents or a Letter of Credit, if and as may be reasonably required by Landlord to insure ultimate payment of the same and to prevent any sale or forfeiture of the Leased Property or any portion thereof or the Rent by reason of such non-payment or noncompliance; (v) in the case of an Insurance Requirement, the coverage required by Article XIII shall be maintained; (vi) upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall keep Landlord reasonably informed as to the status of the proceedings; and (vii) if such contest be finally resolved against Landlord or Tenant, Tenant shall promptly pay the amount required to be paid, together with all interest and penalties accrued thereon, or comply with the applicable Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement. Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, shall execute and deliver to Tenant such authorizations and other documents as may reasonably be required in any such contest, and, if reasonably requested by Tenant or if Landlord so desires, Landlord shall join as a party therein. The provisions of this Article XII shall not be construed to permit Tenant to contest the payment of Rent or any other amount (other than Impositions or Additional Charges contested in accordance herewith) payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such contest and any loss resulting therefrom, except to the extent resulting from actions independently taken by Landlord (other than actions taken by Landlord at Tenant’s direction or with Tenant’s consent).
ARTICLE XIII
INSURANCE
13.1      General Insurance Requirements . During the Term, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, maintain the minimum kinds and amounts of insurance described below. Such insurance shall apply to the ownership, maintenance, use and operations related to the Leased Property and all property located in or on the Leased Property (including Capital Improvements and Tenant’s Property). Except for policies insured by Tenant’s captive insurers, all policies shall be written with insurers authorized to do business in all states where Tenant operates and shall maintain A.M Best ratings of not less than “A-” “X” or better in the most recent version of Best’s Key Rating Guide. In the event that any of the insurance companies’ ratings fall below the requirements set forth above, Tenant shall have one hundred eighty (180) days within which to

87



replace such insurance company with an insurance company that qualifies under the requirements set forth above. It is understood that Tenant may utilize so called Surplus lines companies and will adhere to the standard above.
(a)      Property Insurance.
(i)      Property insurance shall be maintained on the Leased Property, Capital Improvements and Tenant’s Property against loss or damage under a policy with coverage not less than that found on Insurance Services Office (ISO) “Causes of Loss – Special Form” and ISO “Building and Personal Property Form” or their equivalent forms (e.g., an “all risk” policy), in a manner consistent with the commercially reasonable practices of similarly situated companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations. Such property insurance policy shall be in an amount not less than the then current Maximum Foreseeable Loss (as defined below); provided, that Tenant shall have the right (i) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by earthquake (including earth movement) to a minimum amount of the projected ground up loss with a 500-year return period (as determined annually by an independent firm using RMS catastrophe modeling software or equivalent, and taking into account all locations insured under Tenant’s property insurance, including other locations owned, leased or managed by Tenant), and (ii) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by named windstorms per occurrence to a minimum amount of the projected ground up loss (including storm surge) with a 500-year return period (as determined annually by an independent firm using RMS catastrophe software or equivalent, and taking into account all locations insured under Tenant’s property insurance, including other locations owned, leased or managed by Tenant); (iii) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by flood to a minimum amount of Two Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($250,000,000.00), to the extent commercially available; provided, further, that in the event the premium cost of any earthquake, flood, named windstorm or terrorism peril (as required by Section 13.1(b) ) coverages are available only for a premium that is more than two and one-half (2.5) times the premium paid by Tenant for the third (3rd) year preceding the date of determination for the insurance policy contemplated by this Section 13.1(a) , then Tenant shall be entitled and required to purchase the maximum amount of insurance coverage it reasonably deems most efficient and prudent to purchase for such peril and Tenant shall not be required to spend additional funds to purchase additional coverages insuring against such risks; and provided, further, that certain property coverages other than earthquake, flood and named windstorm may be sub-limited as long as each sub-limit is commercially reasonable and prudent as determined by Tenant and to the extent that the amount of such sub-limit is less than the amount of such sub-limit in effect as of the Commencement Date, such sub-limit is approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
The term “ Maximum Foreseeable Loss ” shall mean the largest monetary loss within one area that may be expected to result from a single fire with protection impaired, the control of the fire mainly dependent on physical barriers or separations and a delayed manual firefighting by public and/or private fire brigades, as determined by a written report from an independent firm engaged by Tenant.  If Landlord reasonably believes that the Maximum Foreseeable Loss has increased at any time during the Term, it shall have the right (unless Tenant and Landlord agree otherwise) to have such Maximum Foreseeable Loss predetermined by an impartial national insurance company reasonably

88



acceptable to both parties (the “ Impartial Appraiser ”), or, if the parties cannot agree on an Impartial Appraiser, then by an Expert appointed in accordance with Section 34.2 hereof.  The determination of the Impartial Appraiser (or the Expert, as the case may be) shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, and Tenant shall forthwith adjust the amount of the insurance carried pursuant to this Article XIII to the amount so determined by the Impartial Appraiser (or the Expert, as the case may be), subject to the approval of the Facility Mortgagee, as applicable.  Each party shall pay one-half (1/2) of the fee, if any, of the Impartial Appraiser.  If Landlord pays the Impartial Appraiser, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be Additional Charges hereunder and if Tenant pays such Impartial Appraiser, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be a credit against the next Rent payment hereunder.  If Tenant has undertaken any structural alterations or additions to the Leased Property having a cost or value in excess of Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00), Landlord may at Tenant’s expense have the Maximum Foreseeable Loss predetermined at any time after such improvements are made, regardless of when the Maximum Foreseeable Loss was last determined.
(ii)      Such property insurance policy shall include, subject to Section 13.1(a)(i) above: (i) agreed amount coverage and/or a waiver of any co-insurance; (ii) building ordinance coverage (ordinance or law) including loss of the undamaged portions, the cost of demolishing undamaged portions, and the increased cost of rebuilding; and also including, but not limited to, any non-conforming structures or uses; (iii) equipment breakdown coverage (boiler and machinery coverage); (iv) debris removal; and (v) business interruption coverage in an amount not less than two (2) years of Rent and containing an Extended Period of Indemnity endorsement for an additional minimum six months period. Subject to Section 13.1(a)(i) , the property policy shall cover: wind/windstorm, earthquake/earth movement and flood and any sub-limits applicable to wind (e.g. named storms), earthquake and flood are subject to the approval of the Landlord and Fee Mortgagee. Such policy shall (i) name Landlord as required pursuant to Section 13.2 herein for its interests in the Leased Property and Rent; (ii) name each Fee Mortgagee and Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as an additional insured, and (iii) include a New York standard mortgagee clause (or its equivalent) in favor of each Fee Mortgagee and Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any property insurance loss adjustment settlement associated with the Leased Property shall require the written consent of Landlord, Tenant, and each Fee Mortgagee (to the extent required under the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents) unless the amount of the loss net of the applicable deductible is less than Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) in which event no consent shall be required.
(b)      Property Terrorism Insurance . Property Insurance shall be maintained for acts of terrorism covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA) and acts of terrorism and sabotage not certified by TRIPRA, with limits no less than Two Billion Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000,000.00) per occurrence for acts of terrorism covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA) and Two Hundred Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($225,000,000.00) for acts of terrorism and sabotage not certified by TRIPRA. Both coverages shall apply to property damage and business interruption. The provisions relating to loss payees, additional insureds and mortgagee clauses set forth in Section 13.1(a) above shall also apply to the coverages required by this Section 13.1(b) . If Tenant uses one or more of its captive insurers to provide this insurance coverage, the captive(s) must secure and maintain reinsurance from one or more reinsurers for those amounts which are not

89



insured by the Federal Government, and which are in excess of a commercially reasonable policy deductible. Such reinsurers are subject to the same minimum financial ratings set forth in Section 13.1 . In the event TRIPRA is not extended or renewed, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.6 ) upon replacement insurance requirements applicable to terrorism related risks.
(c)      Flood Insurance . With respect to any portion of the Leased Property that is security under a Fee Mortgage, if at any time the area in which such Leased Property is located is designated a “Special Flood Hazard Area” as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), Tenant shall obtain separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. Such flood insurance may be provided as part of Section 13.1(a) Property Insurance above.
(d)      Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance. Workers compensation insurance as required by applicable state statutes and Employers Liability.
(e)      Commercial General Liability Insurance. For bodily injury, personal injury, advertising injury and property damage on an occurrence form with coverage no less than ISO Form CG 0001 or equivalent. This policy shall include the following coverages: (i) Liquor Liability; (ii) Named Peril/Time Element Pollution, to the extent commercially available to operators of properties similar to the subject Leased Property; (iii) intentionally omitted; (iv) Terrorism Liability; and (v) a Separation of Insureds Clause.
(f)      Business Auto Liability Insurance . For bodily injury and property damage arising from the ownership, maintenance or use of owned, hired and non-owned vehicles (ISO Form CA 00 01 or equivalent).
(g)      Employment Practices Liability . Employment Practices Liability insurance in an amount not less than Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00).
(h)      Crime . Crime insurance coverage in an amount not less than Eight Million and No/100 Dollars ($8,000,000.00).
(i)      Excess Liability Insurance. Excess Liability coverage shall be maintained over the required Employers Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Business Auto Liability policies in an amount not less than Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate annually (where applicable). The annual aggregate limit applicable to Commercial General Liability shall apply per location. Tenant will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain coverage as broad as the underlying insurance, including Terrorism Liability coverage, so long as such coverage is available at a commercially reasonable price.
(j)      Pollution Liability Insurance. For claims arising from the discharge, dispersal release or escape or any irritant or contaminant into or upon land, any structure, the atmosphere, watercourse or body of water, including groundwater. This shall include on and off-site clean up and emergency response costs and claims arising from above ground and below ground storage tanks. If this policy

90



is provided on a “claims made” basis (i) the retroactive date shall remain as June 26, 1998 for legal liability; and (ii) coverage shall be maintained for two (2) years after the Term.
13.2      Name of Insureds . Except for the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(d) , Section 13.1(g) and Section 13.1(h) , all insurance provided by Tenant as required by this Article XIII shall include Landlord (including specified Landlord related entities as directed by Landlord) as a loss payee (solely with respect to the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(a) , Section 13.1(b) and Section 13.1(c) ), named insured or additional insured without restrictions beyond the restrictions that apply to Tenant and may include any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as an additional insured; provided, however, the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(j) shall be permitted to include Landlord (including specified Landlord related entities as directed by Landlord) as an additional insured without the requirement that such policy expressly include language that such coverage is without restrictions beyond the restrictions that apply to Tenant. The coverage provided to the additional insureds by Tenant’s insurance policies must be at least as broad as that provided to the first named insured on each respective policy. For avoidance of doubt, Landlord looks exclusively to Tenant’s insurance policies to protect itself from claims arising from the Leased Property and Capital Improvements. The required insurance policies shall protect Landlord against Landlord’s acts with respect to the Leased Property in the same manner that they protect Tenant against its acts with respect to the Leased Property. Except for the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(d) with respect to Workers Compensation and Employers Liability, the required insurance policies shall be endorsed to include others as additional insureds as required by Landlord and/or the Fee Mortgage Documents and/or Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee. The insurance protection afforded to all insureds (whether named insureds or additional insureds) shall be primary and shall not contribute with any insurance or self-insurance programs maintained by such insureds (including deductibles and self-insured retentions).
13.3      Deductibles or Self-Insured Retentions . Tenant may self-insure such risks that are customarily self-insured by companies of established reputation engaged in the same general line of business in the same general area. All increases in deductibles and self-insured retentions (collectively referred to as “Deductibles” in this Article XIII ) that apply to the insurance policies required by this Article XIII are subject to approval by Landlord, with such approval not to be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant is solely responsible for all Deductibles related to its insurance policies. The Deductibles Tenant has in effect as of the Commencement Date satisfy the requirements of this Section as of the Commencement Date.
13.4      Waivers of Subrogation . Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Article XIII and policies issued by Tenant’s captive insurers (including related Deductibles), it being understood that (i) Tenant shall look solely to its insurance for the recovery of such loss or damage; and (ii) such insurers shall have no rights of subrogation against Landlord. Each insurance policy shall contain a clause or endorsement which waives all rights of subrogation against Landlord, Fee Mortgagees and other entities or individuals as reasonably requested by Landlord.
13.5      Limits of Liability and Blanket Policies . The insured limits of liability maintained by Tenant shall be selected by Tenant in a manner consistent with the commercially reasonable

91



practices of similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar location as the Leased Property. The limits of liability Tenant has in effect as of the Commencement Date satisfy the requirements of this Section as of the Commencement Date. The insurance required by this Article XIII may be effected by a policy or policies of blanket insurance and/or by a combination of primary and excess insurance policies (all of which may insure additional properties owned, operated or managed by Tenant or its Affiliates), provided each policy shall be satisfactory to Landlord, acting reasonably, including, the form of the policy, provided such policies comply with the provisions of this Article XIII .
13.6      Future Changes in Insurance Requirements .
(a)      In the event one or more additional locations become Leased Property or Capital Improvements during the Term, whether through acquisition, lease, new construction or other means, Landlord may reasonably amend the insurance requirements set forth in this Article XIII to properly address new risks or exposures to loss, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13.6(a) . For example, for construction projects, different forms of insurance may be required, such as builders risk, and Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon insurance requirements applicable to the construction contractors. Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith to exchange information (including proposed construction agreements) and ascertain appropriate insurance requirements prior to Tenant being required to amend its insurance under this Section 13.6(a) ; provided , however , that any revision to insurance shall only be required if the revised insurance would be customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar location as the Leased Property. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days of the original notice of requested revision, the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 34.2 shall control .
(b)      In the event that (1) the operations of Tenant change in the future, and Tenant believes adjustments in Deductibles, insured limits or coverages are warranted, (2) Tenant desires to increase one or more Deductibles, reduce limits of liability below those in place as of the Commencement Date or materially reduce coverage, or (3) not more than once during any twelve (12) month period (or more frequently in connection with a financing or refinancing of a Fee Mortgage), Landlord reasonably determines that the insurance carried by Tenant is not, for any reason (whether by reason of the type, coverage, deductibles, insured limits, the reasonable requirements of Fee Mortgagees, or otherwise) commensurate with insurance customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar location, the party seeking the change will advise the other party in writing of the requested insurance revision. Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith to determine whether the requested insurance revision shall be made; provided , however , that any revision to insurance shall only be made if the revised insurance would be customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar location as the Leased Property. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days of the original notice of requested revision, the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 34.2 shall control. Solely with respect to the insurance required by Section 13.1(h) above, in no event shall the outcome of an insurance revision pursuant to this Section 13.6 require Tenant to carry insurance in an amount which exceeds the product of (i) the amounts set forth in Section 13.1(h) hereof and (ii) the CPI Increase.

92



13.7      Notice of Cancellation or Non-Renewal . Each required insurance policy shall contain an endorsement requiring thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, Fee Mortgagees and Leasehold Mortgagees of any cancellation or non-renewal. Ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be required for cancellation for non-payment of premium. Tenant shall secure replacement coverage to comply with the stated insurance requirements and provide new certificates of insurance to Landlord and others as directed by Landlord .
13.8      Copies of Documents . Tenant shall provide (i) binders evidencing renewal coverages no later than the applicable renewal date of each insurance policy required by this Article XIII ; and (ii) copies of all insurance policies required by this Article XIII (including policies issued by Tenant’s captive insurers which are in any way related to the required policies, including policies insuring Deductibles), within one hundred and twenty days (120) after inception date of each, and if additionally required, within ten (10) days of written request by Landlord. In addition, Tenant will supply documents that are related to the required insurance policies on January 1 of each calendar year during the Term and three (3) years afterwards, and as otherwise requested in writing by Landlord. Such documents shall be in formats reasonably acceptable to Landlord and include, but are not limited to, (i) statements of property value by location, (ii) risk modeling reports (e.g., named storms and earthquake), (iii) actuarial reports, (iv) loss/claims reports, (v) detailed summaries of Tenant’s insurance policies and, as respects Tenant’s captive insurers the most recent audited financial statements (including notes therein) and reinsurance agreements. Landlord shall hold the contents of the documents provided by Tenant as confidential; provided that Landlord shall be entitled to disclose the contents of such documents to its insurance consultants, attorneys, accountants and other agents in connection with the administration and/or enforcement of this Lease, and (ii) to any Fee Mortgagees, Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees and potential lenders and their respective representatives, and (iii) as may be required by applicable laws. Landlord shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such person or entity to enter into a written agreement to maintain the confidentiality thereof for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant.
13.9      Certificates of Insurance . Certificates of insurance, evidencing the required insurance, shall be delivered to Landlord on the Commencement Date, annually thereafter, and upon written request by Landlord. If required by any Fee Mortgagee, Tenant shall provide endorsements and written confirmations that all premiums have been paid in full.
13.10      Other Requirements . Tenant shall comply with the following additional provisions:
(a)      In the event of a catastrophic loss or multiple losses (excluding losses covered by the terrorism insurance required hereunder) at multiple properties owned or leased directly or indirectly by CEC and that are insured by CEC, then in the case (x) that at least one such property affected by the catastrophic loss(es) or multiple losses is the Facility or an Other Facility (in either case, a “ Subject Facility ”) and (y) at least one other such property affected by the catastrophic loss(es) or multiple losses is not a Subject Facility, if (A) such catastrophic loss or multiple losses exhaust any per occurrence or aggregate insurance limits under the property insurance policies required by this Article XIII and any such property that is not a Subject Facility is (w) directly or indirectly managed but not directly or indirectly owned by CEC, (x) not wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by CEC, (y) subject to a ground lease with a landlord party that is neither Landlord nor

93



its affiliates, or (z) is financed on a stand-alone basis, then the insurance proceeds received in connection with such catastrophic loss or multiple losses shall be allocated pro-rata based on the insured values of the impacted properties, with no property receiving an allocation exceeding the loss suffered by such property, and (B) if such catastrophic loss or multiple losses exhaust any per occurrence or aggregate insurance limits under the property insurance policies required by this Article XIII and no property that is not a Subject Facility is a property described in clauses (w) through (z) above, the property(ies) that is a Subject Facility shall have first priority to insurance proceeds from the property policy in connection with such catastrophic loss or multiple losses up to the reasonably anticipated amount of loss with respect to the Subject Facility. Any property proceeds allocable to a Subject Facility pursuant to clause (B) above shall be paid to Landlord (or the landlord under the Other Lease, as applicable) and applied in accordance with the terms of this Lease (or the Other Lease, as applicable)
(b)      Tenant shall have the right to cause the terrorism policy or policies required hereunder to be effectuated through a blanket insurance and/or by a combination of primary and excess insurance policies (all of which may insure additional properties owned, operated or managed by Tenant or its Affiliates), but only if Tenant delivers an endorsement to the direct blanket insurance policy (and any reinsurance agreements with respect to a captive insurance company shall follow form in this regard) in form and substance acceptable to Landlord, guaranteeing priority payout privilege over any and all other locations that are (a) within a 1,000 foot radius of the Leased Property and (b) insured under the same policy.
(c)      In the event Tenant shall at any time fail, neglect or refuse to insure the Leased Property and Capital Improvements, or is not in full compliance with its obligations under this Article XIII , Landlord may, at its election, procure replacement insurance. In such event, Landlord shall disclose to Tenant the terms of the replacement insurance. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such replacement insurance within thirty (30) days after Landlord pays for the replacement insurance. The cost of such replacement insurance shall be reasonable considering the then-current market.
ARTICLE XIV
CASUALTY
14.1      Property Insurance Proceeds . All proceeds (except business interruption not allocated to rent expenses, if any) payable by reason of any property loss or damage to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, under any property policy of insurance required to be carried hereunder shall be paid to Fee Mortgagee or to an escrow account held by a third party depositary reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and, if applicable, the Fee Mortgagee (in each case pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably acceptable to the Parties and the Fee Mortgagee and intended to implement the terms hereof) and made available to Tenant upon request for the reasonable costs of preservation, stabilization, restoration, reconstruction and repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof; provided , however , that the portion of any such proceeds that are attributable to Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent shall be applied against Rent due by Tenant hereunder; and provided , further , that if the total amount of proceeds payable net of the applicable deductibles is Forty Million and No/100 Dollars

94



($40,000,000.00) or less, and, if no Tenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the proceeds shall be paid to Tenant and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XIV used for the repair of any damage to or restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property in accordance with Section 14.2 . For the avoidance of doubt, any insurance proceeds payable by reason of (i) loss or damage to Tenant’s Property and/or Tenant Material Capital Improvements, or (ii) business interruption shall be paid directly to and belong to Tenant. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property in accordance herewith shall be provided to Tenant. So long as no Tenant Event of Default is continuing, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute and settle insurance claims, provided that, in connection with insurance claims exceeding Forty Million and No/100 Dollars ($40,000,000.00), Tenant shall consult with and involve Landlord in the process of adjusting any insurance claims under this Article XIV and any final settlement with the insurance company for claims exceeding Forty Million and No/100 Dollars ($40,000,000.00) shall be subject to Landlord’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
14.2      Tenant’s Obligations Following Casualty
(a)      In the event of a Casualty Event with respect to the Facility or any portion thereof (to the extent the proceeds of insurance in respect thereof are made available to Tenant as and to the extent required under the applicable escrow agreement), (i) Tenant shall restore such Facility (or any applicable portion thereof, excluding, at Tenant’s election, any Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless such Tenant Material Capital Improvement is integrated into the Facility such that the Facility could not practically or safely be operated without restoring such Tenant Material Capital Improvement, provided that with respect to any Tenant Material Capital Improvement that Tenant is not required to rebuild or restore, Tenant shall repair and thereafter maintain the portions of the Facility affected by the loss or damage of such Tenant Material Capital Improvement in a condition commensurate with the quality, appearance and use of the balance of the Facility and satisfying the Facility’s parking requirements) to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such damage or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (ii) the damage caused by the applicable Casualty Event shall not terminate this Lease; provided , however , that if the applicable Casualty Event shall occur not more than two (2) years prior to the then-Stated Expiration Date and the cost to restore the Facility (excluding for avoidance of doubt any affected Tenant Material Capital Improvements that Tenant is not required to restore) to the condition immediately preceding the Casualty Event, as determined by a mutually approved contractor or architect, would equal or exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Fair Market Ownership Value of the Facility immediately prior to the time of such damage or destruction, then each of Landlord and Tenant shall have the option, exercisable in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Lease, upon written notice to the other Party hereto delivered to such other Party within thirty (30) days of the determination of the amount of damage and the Fair Market Ownership Value of the Facility and, if such option is exercised by either Landlord or Tenant, this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall not be required to restore the Facility and any insurance proceeds payable as a result of the damage or destruction shall be payable in accordance with Section 14.2(c) . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Casualty Event occurs (and/or if the determination of the amount of damage and/or the thirty (30) day period referred to in the preceding sentence is continuing) at a time when Tenant could send a Renewal Notice

95



(provided, for this purpose, Tenant shall be permitted to send a Renewal Notice under Section 1.4 not more than twenty-four (24) months (rather than not more than eighteen (18) months) prior to the then current Stated Expiration Date), if Tenant has elected or elects to exercise the same at any time following Tenant’s receipt of such notice of termination from Landlord, neither Landlord nor Tenant may terminate this Lease under this Section 14.2(a) .
(b)      If the cost to restore the affected Leased Property exceeds the amount of proceeds received from the insurance required to be carried hereunder, then (i) Tenant’s restoration obligations, to the extent required hereunder, shall continue unimpaired, and (ii) Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord that Tenant has (or is reasonably expected to have) available to it any excess amounts needed to restore the Leased Property to the condition required hereunder. Such excess amounts shall be paid by Tenant.
(c)      In the event neither Landlord nor Tenant is required or elects to repair and restore the Leased Property, all insurance proceeds (except business interruption), other than proceeds reasonably attributed to any Tenant Material Capital Improvements (or other property owned by Tenant), which proceeds shall be and remain the property of Tenant, shall be paid to and retained by Landlord (after reimbursement to Tenant for any reasonably-incurred expenses in connection with the subject Casualty Event) free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant except as otherwise specifically provided below in this Article XIV .
(d)      If Tenant fails to complete the restoration of the Facility and gaming operations do not recommence substantially in the same manner as prior to the applicable Casualty Event by the date that is the fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of any Casualty Event (subject to extension in the event of an Unavoidable Delay during such four (4) year period, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay delays Tenant’s ability to perform such restoration in accordance with this Section 14.2 ), then, without limiting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies otherwise, all remaining insurance proceeds shall be paid to and retained by Landlord free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant, provided , that , so long as no Tenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord agrees to use such remaining proceeds for repair and restoration with respect to such Casualty Event.
(e)      If, and solely to the extent that, the damage resulting from any applicable Casualty Event is not an insured event under the insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant shall not be obligated to restore the Leased Property in respect of the damage from such Casualty Event.
14.3      No Abatement of Rent . Except as expressly provided in this Article XIV , this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and all Additional Charges required by this Lease shall remain unabated during any period following a Casualty Event.
14.4      Waiver . Tenant waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property but such waiver shall not affect any contractual rights granted to Tenant under this Lease.

96

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (x) Landlord shall deliver all notices required pursuant to Section 16.1 concurrently to Tenant and Guarantor and (y) a default by Tenant under any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall not in and of itself be a Tenant Event of Default hereunder (it being understood that if the circumstances that cause such default independently comprise a default hereunder that continues beyond all applicable notice and cure periods hereunder then such circumstances would cause a Tenant Default hereunder).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Tenant shall not be in breach of this Lease solely as a result of the exercise by the party (other than Tenant, CEC, CEOC or any of their respective Affiliates) to any of the Permitted Exception Documents of such party’s rights thereunder so long as Tenant undertakes commercially reasonable efforts to cause such party to comply or otherwise minimize such breach, and (ii) in the event that Tenant is required, under the express terms of any Permitted Exception Document(s), to take or refrain from taking any action, and taking or refraining from

102



taking such action would result in a default under this Lease, then Tenant shall advise Landlord of the same, and Tenant and Landlord shall reasonably cooperate in order to address the same in a mutually acceptable manner, and so as to minimize any harm or liability to Landlord and to Tenant. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Permitted Exception Document excuse Tenant from its obligation to pay Rent or Additional Charges.
16.2      Landlord Remedies . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Tenant Event of Default but subject to the provisions of Article XVII , Landlord may, subject to the terms of Section 16.3 below, do any one or more of the following: (x) terminate this Lease by giving Tenant no less than ten (10) days’ notice of such termination and the Term shall terminate and all rights and obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall cease, subject to any provisions that expressly survive the Expiration Date, (y) seek damages as provided in Section 16.3 hereof or (z) except to the extent expressly otherwise provided under this Lease, exercise any other right or remedy hereunder, at law or in equity available to Landlord as a result of any Tenant Event of Default.

Subject to Article XIX and Section 17.1(f) hereof, at any time upon or following the Expiration Date, Tenant shall, if required by Landlord to do so, immediately surrender to Landlord possession of the Leased Property and quit the same and Landlord may enter upon and repossess such Leased Property by reasonable force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Tenant and all other Persons and any of Tenant’s Property therefrom. Landlord shall refrain from exercising any remedies pursuant to this Section during any applicable cure periods of Guarantor to the extent expressly provided in Section 17.2 of the MLSA.
(a)      None of (i) the termination of this Lease, (ii) the repossession of the Leased Property, (iii) the failure of Landlord to relet the Leased Property or any portions thereof, (iv) the reletting of all or any portion of the Leased Property, or (v) the inability of Landlord to collect or receive any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s damages under this Lease.
(b)      If this Lease shall terminate pursuant to Section 16.2(x) or if Landlord shall obtain a court order permitting reentry following the occurrence of a Tenant Event of Default that is continuing, then, in any such event, Landlord or Landlord’s agents and employees may immediately or at any time thereafter reenter the Leased Property to the extent permitted by law (including applicable Gaming Regulations), either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any Person therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property. The words “enter,” “reenter,” “entry” and “reentry,” as used herein, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.
(c)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if this Lease has been terminated by Landlord pursuant to this Section 16.2 and Manager is performing Transition Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) as elected (or deemed elected) by Landlord in accordance

103



with the Transition Services Agreement, then, at Landlord’s election (or deemed election) in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement, Tenant (and its Subsidiaries, as applicable) shall stay in occupancy of the Leased Property following the Expiration Date and continue to operate the Facility, collect and retain revenue therefrom, and pay Rent and Additional Charges (without duplication of any Rent and Additional Charges required to be paid under Section 16.3 ), all in the manner required under Section 36.1 , for so long as Manager is performing Transition Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement); provided , however , that Tenant shall have no obligation (unless specifically agreed to by Tenant) to operate the Leased Property (or pay any such Rent) under such arrangement unless the Transition Period is then continuing.
16.3      Damages .
(a)      If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in writing upon a Tenant Event of Default during the Term, Tenant shall forthwith (x) pay to Landlord all Rent due and payable under this Lease to and including the date of such termination (together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due), and (y) pay on demand all damages to which Landlord shall be entitled at law or in equity, provided , however , Landlord’s damages with regard to unpaid Rent from and after the date of termination shall equal, as liquidated and agreed current damages in respect thereof, the sum of: (A) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that (if the Lease had not been terminated) would have been payable hereunder after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (B) (x) the Rent which (if the Lease had not been terminated) would have been payable hereunder from the time of award until the then Stated Expiration Date, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%), less (y) the Rent loss from the time of the award until the then Stated Expiration Date that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). As used in clause (A) , the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due. As used in clauses (A) and (B) , Variable Rent that would have been payable after termination for the remainder of the Term shall be determined based on: (1) if the date of termination occurs during a Variable Rent Payment Period, the Variable Rent amount payable during such Variable Rent Payment Period (if the Lease had not been terminated), and (2) if the date of termination occurs prior to the commencement of any Variable Rent Payment Period, the Variable Rent that (if the Lease had not been terminated) would be payable after termination for the remainder of the Term, assuming Net Revenue for the balance of the Term equals Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period ending immediately prior to the date of termination (it being understood the foregoing calculation of damages for unpaid Rent applies only to the amount of unpaid Rent damages owed to Landlord pursuant to Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder and does not prohibit or otherwise shall not limit Landlord from seeking damages for any indemnification or any other obligations of Tenant hereunder, with all such rights of Landlord reserved).
(b)      Notwithstanding anything otherwise set forth herein, if Landlord chooses not to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property (whether or not Landlord terminates

104



this Lease) and has not been paid damages in accordance with Section 16.3(a) , then each installment of Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to or for the benefit of Landlord under this Lease shall be payable as the same otherwise becomes due and payable, together with, if any such amount is not paid when due, interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when due until paid, and Landlord may enforce, by action or otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Lease (and Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property and seek damages under Section 16.3(a) , to the extent not already paid for by Tenant under Section 16.3(a) or this Section 16.3(b) ).
(c)      If, as of the date of any termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 16.2(x) , the Leased Property shall not be in the condition in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Tenant, shall pay, as damages therefor, the cost (as estimated by an independent contractor reasonably selected by Landlord) of placing the Leased Property in the condition in which Tenant is required to surrender the same hereunder.
16.4      Receiver . Subject to the rights of Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees hereunder, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Tenant Event of Default, and upon commencement of proceedings to enforce the rights of Landlord hereunder, but subject to any limitations of applicable law (including Gaming Regulations), Landlord shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers acceptable to Landlord of the Leased Property and of the revenues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof, pending the outcome of such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.
16.5      Waiver . If Landlord initiates judicial proceedings or if this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to this Article XVI , Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession or similar laws for the benefit of Tenant; and (ii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.
16.6      Application of Funds . Any payments received by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Tenant Event of Default which are made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to the existence of a Tenant Event of Default shall be applied to Tenant’s obligations in the order which Landlord may reasonably determine or as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements.
16.7      Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default . If Tenant shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder when due including, without limitation, if Tenant fails to expend any Required Capital Expenditures as required hereunder or fails to complete any work or restoration or replacement of any nature as required hereunder, or if Tenant shall take any action prohibited hereunder, or if Tenant shall breach any representation or warranty comprising Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (and Landlord reasonably determines that such breach could be expected to give rise to an event of default or an indemnification obligation of Landlord under the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents), or Tenant fails to comply with any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (other than representations and warranties), in all cases, after the expiration of any cure period provided for herein, Landlord, without waiving or releasing

105



any obligation or default, may, but shall be under no obligation to, (i) make such payment or perform such act (or reimburse any Fee Mortgagee for making such payment or performing such act) for the account and at the expense of Tenant (including, in the event of a breach of any such representation or warranty, taking actions to cause such representation or warranty to be true), and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor and (ii) subject to the terms of the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents, use funds in any Fee Mortgage Reserve Account for the purposes for which they were deposited in making any such payment or performing such act. All sums so paid (or reimbursed) by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand as an Additional Charge.
16.8      Miscellaneous .
(a)      Suit or suits for the recovery of damages, or for any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at Landlord’s election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease and the Term would have expired by limitation had there been no Tenant Event of Default, reentry or termination.
(b)      No failure by either Party to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant or condition. No agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by either Party, and no breach thereof, shall be or be deemed to be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the Parties. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every agreement, term, covenant and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof. In the event Landlord claims in good faith that Tenant has breached any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any rights and remedies allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though reentry, summary proceedings or other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.
(c)      Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, each right and remedy of a Party provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease.
(d)      Nothing contained in this Article XVI or otherwise shall vitiate or limit Tenant’s obligation to pay Landlord’s attorneys’ fees as and to the extent provided in Article XXXVII hereof, or any indemnification obligations under any express indemnity made by Tenant of Landlord or of any Landlord Indemnified Parties as contained in this Lease.

If the applicable default shall be cured pursuant to the terms and within the time periods allowed in this Section 17.1(d) , this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had not defaulted under the Lease. If a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall fail to take all of the actions described in this Section 17.1(d) with respect to a specific Tenant Event of Default for which the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee was provided notice prior to the deadlines set forth herein, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have no further rights under this Section 17.1(d) or Section 17.1(e) with respect to such Tenant Event of Default.
(e)      Procedure on Default .
(i)      If Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease by reason of any Tenant Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing and a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have proceeded in the manner provided for by subsection (d) of this Section 17.1 , the applicable cure periods available pursuant to Section 17.1(d) above shall continue to be extended so long as during such continuance:

Landlord hereby further acknowledges that funds deposited by Tenant in any Fee Mortgage Reserve Account are, subject to the applicable provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease, the property of Tenant and accordingly, so long as no Tenant Event of Default is continuing, except as may be agreed to by Tenant in its sole discretion in respect of any other applicable Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements, the applicable Fee Mortgagee shall agree to return the portion of such funds not previously released to Tenant within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements Period and may not apply such funds against the Fee Mortgage;

If either Landlord or Tenant becomes aware of a violation of any Legal Requirement (other than Gaming Regulations) relating to any Hazardous Substance in, on, under or about the Leased Property or any portion thereof or any adjacent property, or if Tenant, Landlord or the Leased Property or any portion thereof becomes subject to any order of any federal, state or local agency to repair, close, detoxify, decontaminate or otherwise remediate the Leased Property, Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other party of such event and, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant shall cure such violation or effect such repair, closure, detoxification, decontamination or other remediation. If Tenant fails to diligently pursue, implement and complete any such cure, repair, closure, detoxification, decontamination or other remediation, which failure continues after notice and expiration of applicable cure periods, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to carry out such action and to recover from Tenant all of Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
32.4      Indemnity . Each of the Persons comprising Tenant shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend, protect, save, hold harmless, and reimburse Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord

for, from and against any and all actual out-of-pocket costs, losses (including, losses of use or economic benefit or diminution in value), liabilities, damages, assessments, lawsuits, deficiencies, demands, claims and expenses (collectively, “ Environmental Costs ”) (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and regardless of whether liability without fault is imposed, or sought to be imposed, on Landlord) incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to, directly or indirectly, in each case before or during (but not if first occurring after) the Term (i) the production, use, generation, storage, treatment, transporting, disposal, discharge, Release or other handling or disposition of any Hazardous Substances from, in, on or under the Leased Property or any portion thereof (collectively, “ Handling ”), including the effects of such Handling of any Hazardous Substances on any Person or property within or outside the boundaries of the Leased Property, (ii) the presence of any Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Leased Property and (iii) the violation of any Environmental Law. “ Environmental Costs ” include interest, costs of response, removal, remedial action, containment, cleanup, investigation, design, engineering and construction, damages (including actual and consequential damages) for personal injuries and for injury to, destruction of or loss of property or natural resources, relocation or replacement costs, penalties, fines, charges or expenses, reasonable attorney’s fees, reasonable expert fees, reasonable consultation fees, and court costs, and all amounts actually paid in investigating, defending or settling any of the foregoing, as applicable, including, without duplication, any amounts paid by Landlord or its Affiliates pursuant to that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement, that certain Mezzanine A Environmental Indemnity Agreement, that certain Mezzanine B Environmental Indemnity Agreement or that certain Mezzanine C Environmental Indemnity Agreement, each entered into in connection with an Existing Fee Mortgage as in effect on the Commencement Date. Tenant’s indemnity hereunder shall survive the termination of this Lease, but in no event shall Tenant’s indemnity apply to Environmental Costs incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to matters first occurring after the later of (x) the end of the Term and (y) the date upon which Tenant shall have vacated the Leased Property and surrendered the same to Landlord, in each case to the extent such matters are not or were not caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant in breach of this Lease. Tenant’s indemnity set forth in this Section 32.4 shall remain in effect for the benefit of the entity constituting Landlord following divestment of such entity’s interest in the Leased Premises as a result of the foreclosure of a Fee Mortgage by a Fee Mortgagee; provided, however, Tenant’s liability under this sentence shall be (A) limited to an amount equal to any Environmental Costs required to be paid to Fee Mortgagee by such entity (or any environmental indemnitor of such entity with respect to such Fee Mortgage), and (B) shall be without duplication of any amounts required to be paid by Tenant to such foreclosing Fee Mortgagee (or its designee) as the new Landlord under this Lease attributable to the same Environmental Costs.
Without limiting the scope or generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly agrees that, in the event of a breach by Tenant in its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.3 that is not cured within any applicable cure period, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (directly or indirectly, before or during (but not if first occurring after) the Term) the following:
(a)      investigating any and all matters relating to the Handling of any Hazardous Substances, in, on, from or under the Leased Property or any portion thereof;

149



(b)      bringing the Leased Property into compliance with all Legal Requirements, and
(c)      removing, treating, storing, transporting, cleaning-up and/or disposing of any Hazardous Substances used, stored, generated, released or disposed of in, on, from, under or about the Leased Property or off-site other than in the ordinary course of the business conducted at the Leased Property and in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements.
If any claim is made by Landlord for reimbursement for Environmental Costs incurred by it hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay such claim promptly, and in any event to pay such claim within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by Tenant of written notice thereof and any amount not so paid within such sixty (60) calendar day period shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date due to the date paid in full.
32.5      Environmental Inspections . In the event Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant is in breach of its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.4 , Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, during normal business hours and upon not less than five (5) Business Days written notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency that constitutes an imminent threat to human health or safety or damage to property, in which event Landlord shall undertake reasonable efforts to notify a representative of Tenant as soon as practicable under the circumstances), to conduct an inspection of the Leased Property or any portion thereof (and Tenant shall be permitted to have Landlord or its representatives accompanied by a representative of Tenant) to determine the existence or presence of Hazardous Substances on or about the Leased Property or any portion thereof. In the event Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant is in breach of its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.4 , Landlord shall have the right to enter and inspect the Leased Property or any portion thereof, conduct any testing, sampling and analyses it reasonably deems necessary and shall have the right to inspect materials brought into the Leased Property or any portion thereof. Landlord may, in its discretion, retain experts to conduct the inspection, perform the tests referred to herein, and to prepare a written report in connection therewith if Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant is in breach of its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.4 . All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord under this Section 32.6 shall be the responsibility of Landlord, except solely to the extent Tenant has breached its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.5 , in which event such reasonable costs and expenses shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as provided in Section 32.4 . Failure to conduct an environmental inspection or to detect unfavorable conditions if such inspection is conducted shall in no fashion constitute a release of any liability for environmental conditions subsequently determined to be associated with or to have occurred during Tenant’s tenancy. Tenant shall remain liable for any environmental condition related to or having occurred during its tenancy regardless of when such conditions are discovered and regardless of whether or not Landlord conducts an environmental inspection at the termination of this Lease. The obligations set forth in this Article XXXII shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease but in no event shall Article XXXII apply to matters first occurring after the later of (x) the end of the Term and (y) the date upon which Tenant shall have vacated the Leased Property and surrendered the same to Landlord, in each case to the extent such matters are not or were not caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant in breach of this Lease.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
34.1      Expert Valuation Process . Whenever a determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, and where Landlord and Tenant have not been able to reach agreement on such Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value either (i) with respect to Fair Market Base Rental Value applicable to a Renewal Term, within three hundred seventy (370) days prior to the commencement date of a Renewal Term or (ii) for all other purposes, after at least fifteen (15) days of good faith negotiations, then either Party shall each have the right to seek, upon written notice to the other Party (the “ Expert Valuation Notice ”), which notice clearly identifies that such Party seeks, to have such Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value determined in accordance with the following Expert Valuation Process:
(a)      Within twenty (20) days of the receiving Party’s receipt of the Expert Valuation Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall provide notice to the other Party of the name, address and other pertinent contact information, and qualifications of its selected appraiser (which appraiser must be an independent qualified MAI appraiser (i.e., a Member of the Appraisal Institute)).
(b)      As soon as practicable following such notice, and in any event within twenty (20) days following their selection, each appraiser shall prepare a written appraisal of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) as of the relevant date of valuation, and deliver the same to its respective client. Representatives of the Parties shall then meet and simultaneously exchange copies of such appraisals. Following such exchange, the appraisers shall promptly meet and endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) based on a written appraisal made by each of them (and given to Landlord by Tenant). If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value, as applicable, such agreed amount shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(c)      If such two appraisers are unable to agree upon a Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) within five (5)

151



Business Days after the exchange of appraisals as aforesaid, then such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of the same and, within twenty (20) days of the exchange of appraisals, select a third appraiser (which third appraiser, however selected, must be an independent qualified MAI appraiser) to make the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value. The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(d)      If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (c) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) within thirty (30) days after his or her selection, then such third appraiser (or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable) shall, at the request of either Party, be appointed by the Appointing Authority and such appointment shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. The determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment.
(e)      If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) shall be the average of (x) the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the third appraiser and (y) the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the appraiser (selected pursuant to Section 34.1(b) ) whose determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant as being the Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be).
(f)      In determining Fair Market Ownership Value of the Leased Property or the Facility, the appraisers shall (in addition to taking into account the criteria set forth in the definition of Fair Market Ownership Value), add (i) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term, assuming the Term has been extended for all Renewal Terms provided herein (with assumed increases in CPI to be determined by the appraisers) using a discount rate (which may be determined by an investment banker retained by each appraiser) based on the credit worthiness of Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder and (ii) the present value of the Leased Property or Facility as of the end of such Term (assuming the Term has been extended for all Renewal Terms provided herein). The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all provisions of the Lease, and that no default exists under any guaranty of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.
(g)      In determining Fair Market Base Rental Value, the appraisers shall (in addition to the criteria set forth in the definition thereof and of Fair Market Rental Value) take into account: (i) the age, quality and condition (as required by the Lease) of the Improvements; (ii) that the Leased Property will be leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user; (iii) when determining the Fair Market Base Rental Value for any Renewal Term, a lease term of five (5) years together

152



with such options to renew as then remains hereunder; (iv) an absolute triple net lease; and (v) such other items that professional real estate appraisers customarily consider.
(h)      [Reserved].
(i)      If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Base Rental Value is not determined by the first (1 st ) day of the applicable Renewal Term, then until Fair Market Base Rental Value is determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent during the succeeding Renewal Term in the same amount which Tenant was obligated to pay prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. Upon determination of Fair Market Base Rental Value, Rent shall be calculated retroactive to the commencement of the Renewal Term and Tenant shall either receive a refund from Landlord (in the case of an overpayment) or shall pay any deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment) within thirty (30) days of the date on which the determination of Fair Market Base Rental Value becomes binding.
(j)      The cost of the procedure described in this Section 34.1 shall be borne equally by the Parties and the Parties will reasonably coordinate payment; provided , that if Landlord pays such costs, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be Additional Charges hereunder and if Tenant pays such costs, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be a credit against the next Rent payment hereunder.
34.2      Arbitration . In the event of a dispute with respect to this Lease pursuant to an Arbitration Provision, or in any case when this Lease expressly provides for the settlement or determination of a dispute or question by an Expert pursuant to this Section 34.2 (in any such case, a “ Section 34.2 Dispute ”) such dispute shall be determined in accordance with an arbitration proceeding as set forth in this Section 34.2 .
(a)      Any Section 34.2 Dispute shall be determined by an arbitration panel comprised of three members, each of whom shall be an Expert (the “ Arbitration Panel ”). No more than one panel member may be with the same firm and no panel member may have an economic interest in the outcome of the arbitration.
The Arbitration Panel shall be selected as set forth in this Section 34.2(b) . If a Section 34.2 Dispute arises and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to resolve such dispute after at least fifteen (15) days of good faith negotiations, then either Party shall each have the right to submit the dispute to the Arbitration Panel, upon written notice to the other Party (the “ Arbitration Notice ”). The Arbitration Notice shall identify one member of the Arbitration Panel who meets the criteria of the above paragraph. Within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the Arbitration Notice, the Party receiving such Arbitration Notice shall respond in writing identifying one member of the Arbitration Panel who meets the criteria of the above paragraph. Such notices shall include the name, address and other pertinent contact information, and qualifications of its member of the Arbitration Panel. If a Party fails to timely select its respective panel member, the other Party may notify such Party in writing of such failure, and if such Party fails to select its respective panel member within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice, then such other Party may select and identify to such Party such panel member on such Party’s behalf. The third member of the Arbitration Panel will be selected by the two (2) members of the Arbitration Panel who were selected by Landlord and Tenant; provided , that if, within five (5) Business Days after they are identified, they fail to select a third member, or if they are unable to agree on such selection, Landlord and Tenant shall cause

153



the third member of the Arbitration Panel to be appointed by the managing officer of the American Arbitration Association.
(b)      Within ten (10) Business Days after the selection of the Arbitration Panel, Landlord and Tenant each shall submit to the Arbitration Panel a written statement identifying its summary of the issues. Landlord and Tenant may also request an evidentiary hearing on the merits in addition to the submission of written statements. The Arbitration Panel shall make its decision within twenty (20) days after the later of (i) the submission of such written statements, and (ii) the conclusion of any evidentiary hearing on the merits. The Arbitration Panel shall reach its decision by majority vote and shall communicate its decision by written notice to Landlord and Tenant.
(c)      The decision by the Arbitration Panel shall be final, binding and conclusive and shall be non-appealable and enforceable in any court having jurisdiction. All hearings and proceedings held by the Arbitration Panel shall take place in New York, New York unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties and the Arbitration Panel.
(d)      The resolution procedure described herein shall be governed by the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the Procedures for Large, Complex, Commercial Disputes in effect as of the Commencement Date.

If not effected pursuant to Section 36.1 , then the determination of the Gaming Assets FMV and the transfer of the Gaming Assets to a Successor Tenant in consideration for the Gaming Assets FMV shall be effected by (i) first , determining in accordance with Section 36.3(a) the rent that Landlord would be entitled to receive from Successor Tenant assuming a lease term of the greater of (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) and (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Leased Property for the highest and best use of the Leased Property (the “ Successor Tenant Rent ”) pursuant to a lease agreement containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease), (ii) second , identifying and designating in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(b) , a pool of qualified potential Successor Tenants (each, a “ Qualified Successor Tenant ”) prepared to lease the Facility at the Successor Tenant Rent and to bid for the Gaming Assets, and (iii) third , in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(c) , determining the highest price a Qualified Successor Tenant would agree to pay for the Gaming Assets, and setting such highest price as the Gaming Assets FMV in exchange for which Tenant shall be required to transfer the Gaming Assets and Landlord will enter into a lease with such Qualified Successor Tenant on substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms

156



of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease) through (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) or (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Leased Property, whichever of (I) or (II) is greater, for a rent calculated pursuant to Section 36.3(a) hereof. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary in this Article XXXVI , the transfer of the Gaming Assets will be conditioned upon the approval of the applicable regulatory agencies of the transfer of the Gaming Licenses and any other gaming assets to the Successor Tenant and/or the issuance of new gaming licenses as required by applicable Gaming Regulations and the relevant regulatory agencies both with respect to operating and suitability criterion, as the case may be.
(a)      Determining Successor Tenant Rent . Landlord and Tenant shall first attempt to agree on the amount of Successor Tenant Rent that it will be assumed Landlord will be entitled to receive for a term of the greater of (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) and (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Leased Property, and pursuant to a lease containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease). If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Successor Tenant Rent amount within a reasonable time not to exceed sixty (60) days after receipt of an End of Term Gaming Assets Transfer Notice hereunder, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be set as follows:
(i)      for the period preceding the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the annual Successor Tenant Rent shall be an amount equal to the annual Rent that would have accrued under the terms of this Lease for such period (assuming the Lease will have not been terminated prior to its natural expiration); and
(ii)      for the period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be calculated in the same manner as Rent is calculated under this Lease, provided that, the Supplemental Rent component of Successor Tenant Rent shall be multiplied on the first day of such period by the Escalator, and shall be increased on each anniversary of the beginning of such period to be equal to the Supplemental Rent payable for the immediately preceding year, multiplied by the Escalator, and provided further that if Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant shall be the Successor Tenant, then the Rent shall not be less than the Fair Market Rental Value.
(b)      Designating Potential Successor Tenants . Landlord will select one and Tenant will select three (3) (for a total of up to four (4)) potential Qualified Successor Tenants prepared to lease the Facility for the Successor Tenant Rent, each of whom must meet the criteria established for a Qualified Transferee (and none of whom may be Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant (it being understood and agreed that there shall be no restriction on Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord from being a potential Qualified Successor Tenant), except in the case of expiration of the Lease on the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35th) anniversary of the Commencement Date

157



occurs). Landlord and Tenant must designate their proposed Qualified Successor Tenants within ninety (90) days after receipt of an End of Term Gaming Assets Transfer Notice hereunder. In the event that Landlord or Tenant fails to designate such party’s allotted number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants, the other party may designate additional potential Qualified Successor Tenants such that the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants does not exceed four; provided that, in the event the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants is less than four, the transfer process will still proceed as set forth in Section 36.3(c) below.
(c)      Determining Gaming Assets FMV . Tenant will have a three (3) month period to negotiate an acceptable sales price for the Gaming Assets, with one of the Qualified Successor Tenants, which three (3) month period will commence immediately upon the conclusion of the steps set forth above in Section 36.3(b) . If Tenant does not reach an agreement prior to the end of such three (3) month period, Landlord shall conduct an auction for the Gaming Assets among the four potential successor lessees, and Tenant will be required to transfer the Gaming Assets to the highest bidder.
36.4      Operation Transfer . Upon designation of a Successor Tenant by Landlord (pursuant to this Article XXXVI ), Tenant shall reasonably cooperate and take all actions reasonably necessary (including providing all reasonable assistance to Successor Tenant) to effectuate the transfer of the Gaming Assets and operational control of the Facility to Successor Tenant in an orderly manner so as to minimize to the maximum extent feasible any disruption to the continued orderly operation of the Facility for its Primary Intended Use. Concurrently with the transfer of the Gaming Assets to Successor Tenant, (i) Tenant shall assign to Successor Tenant (and Successor Tenant shall assume) any then-effective Subleases or other agreements (to the extent such other agreements are assignable) relating to the Leased Property, and (ii) Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord and/or Successor Tenant in the condition required under this Lease. Notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that this Article XXXVI applies, unless Landlord consents to the contrary, until such time that Tenant transfers the Gaming Assets and operational control of the Facility to a Successor Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article XXXVI , Tenant shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) continue to (and Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain possession of the Leased Property to the extent necessary to) operate the Facility in accordance with the applicable terms of this Lease and the course and manner in which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) has operated the Facility prior to the end of the Term (including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent hereunder at the rate provided in Section 36.1 (and not subject to Article XIX )); provided , however , that Tenant shall have no obligation (unless specifically agreed to by Tenant) to operate the Facility (or pay any such Rent) under such arrangement for more than two (2) years after the Expiration Date .

Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord as of the Commencement Date that:

1.
No statement of fact made by Tenant in this Lease or in any of the other Lease/MSLA Related Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading in any material respect.  There is no material fact presently known to Tenant which has not been disclosed to Landlord which adversely affects the Leased Property or this Lease, nor as far as Tenant can foresee, might reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

2.

4.
Tenant has obtained all consents and approvals, including all approvals of Governmental Authorities (as defined in the loan agreement entered into in connection with the Existing Fee Mortgage) including Gaming Authorities, if required, in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Tenant of this Lease, the MLSA, the other Lease/MSLA Agreement, and the Tenant’s business in which it is now engaged, including the operation of the Leased Property.

6.

There has not been committed by Tenant or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Leased Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Leased Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

7.
There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Tenant’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Tenant, CEC or the Leased Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against the Tenant, CEC or the Leased Property, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

For purposes of Exhibit L, “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean any event or condition (which, taken together with any other existing events or conditions at such time) that has a material adverse effect on (a) the ability of Tenant or CEC, as applicable, to comply with its respective obligations under this Lease or the Lease Guaranty, or (b) the use or operation of the Leased Property as a hotel and casino, or value of the Leased Property or this Lease.

SCHEDULE 7
PRE-TRIGGER DATE ARTICLE XXXVI
ARTICLE XXXVI
END OF TERM SUCCESSOR ASSETS TRANSFER
36.1     Transfer of Tenant’s Successor Assets and Operational Control of the Leased Property. Upon the written request of Landlord, upon the Stated Expiration Date (or earlier (x) termination of this Lease in its entirety pursuant to Section 14.2(a) or (y) consensual termination of this Lease) Landlord and Tenant shall comply with the remainder of this Article XXXVI, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Tenant (and its Subsidiaries, as applicable) shall transfer (or cause to be transferred), upon the date required under this Article XXXVI , all of Tenant’s Pledged Property (as defined in the Original Lease), subject to Section 36.2 with respect to Intellectual Property (collectively, the “ Successor Assets ”), to a successor lessee (or lessees) of the Leased Property (collectively, the “ Successor Tenant ”) designated by Landlord, in exchange for a sum (the “ Successor Assets FMV ”) which shall be paid by the Successor Tenant to Tenant and be determined in accordance with the penultimate sentence of this Section 36.1 and/or (ii) Tenant (and its Subsidiaries, as applicable) shall stay in occupancy of the Leased Property following the Expiration Date and continue to operate the Facility, collect and retain revenue therefrom, and pay Rent, all in the manner required under this Section 36.1 , for so long as Landlord is seeking a Successor Tenant in good faith; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no obligation (unless specifically agreed to by Tenant) to operate the Leased Property (or pay any such Rent) under such arrangement for more than two (2) years after the Expiration Date. For purposes of clarification, a termination of this Lease in accordance with Section 16.2 and/or the execution of a New Lease in accordance with Section 17.1(f) hereof shall not trigger the provisions set forth in this Article XXXVI and this Article XXXVI shall not apply in such circumstance. Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Expiration Date, to the extent that this Section 36.1 applies, until such time that Tenant transfers the Successor Assets to a Successor Tenant (or, to the extent applicable pursuant to clause (ii) hereinabove), Tenant shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries, if applicable, to) continue to possess and operate the Facility (and Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain possession of the Leased Property (including, if necessary, by means of a written extension of this Lease or license agreement or other written agreement) to the extent necessary to operate the Facility) in accordance with the applicable terms of this Lease and the course and manner in which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries, if any) had operated the Facility prior to the end of the Term (including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent hereunder which shall be calculated as provided in this Lease, except, that for any period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35th) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, the Rent shall be a per annum amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount of the Base Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, multiplied by the Escalator, and increased on each anniversary of the Expiration Date to be equal to the Rent payable for the immediately preceding year, multiplied by the Escalator, plus (B) the amount of the Variable Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs. If Tenant, on the one hand, and Landlord and/or a Successor Tenant designated by Landlord, on the other hand, cannot agree on the Successor Assets FMV within a reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30) days after the delivery of the notice described in the first sentence of this Section 36.1 , then such Successor Assets

Schedule 7-1



FMV shall be determined, and Tenant’s transfer of the Successor Assets to a Successor Tenant in consideration for a payment in such amount shall be made, in accordance with the provisions of Section 36.3 . For avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed that if Landlord does not deliver such notice, then from and after the later of (X) the Expiration Date or (Y) when Tenant shall have vacated the Leased Property in accordance with the requirements of this Lease, Landlord shall have no right in or to any of the Successor Assets.
36.2     Transfer of Intellectual Property. The Successor Assets shall include the Property Specific IP, the CPLV Trademark License, the CPLV Trademark Security Agreement and Successor Tenant’s access to the System-wide IP, which access shall be governed by that certain Transition and Management Services Agreement (CPLV). Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the notice described in the first sentence of Section 36.1 , deliver to Landlord a copy of all CPLV Guest Data and all Property Specific Guest Data; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to retain and use copies of the Property Specific Guest data as required by Legal Requirements, including applicable Gaming Regulations, and with respect to any CPLV Guest Data, Tenant will have no further right, title, or interest to such CPLV Guest Data and will not be permitted to access such data for marketing, research or other activities by Tenant and unless such data cannot be expunged without destruction of any data that may be retained by the Tenant, must expunge such data, except that Tenant may retain and deliver to any governmental authority, copies of any such data to the extent required to comply with Legal Requirements, including applicable Gaming Regulations.
36.3     Determination of Successor Assets FMV. If not effected pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Section 36.1 , then the Successor Assets FMV shall be equal to the applicable Fair Market Property Value thereof. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary in this Article XXXVI , the transfer of the Successor Assets will be conditioned upon the approval of the applicable regulatory agencies of the transfer of the Gaming Licenses and any other Successor Assets to the Successor Tenant and/or the issuance of new Gaming Licenses as required by applicable Gaming Regulations and the relevant regulatory agencies both with respect to operating and suitability criteria, as the case may be. In determining Fair Market Property Value pursuant to this Section 36.3, each appraiser shall have the right to sub-engage an appraiser or other Person with specialized experience in valuing Intellectual Property assets, to work with such appraiser for purposes of appraising, and assisting with preparation of a written report detailing, such Intellectual Property assets. Notice of any such sub-engagement shall be given to the other Party consistent with the requirements of Section 34.1(a).
36.4     Operation Transfer. Upon designation of a Successor Tenant by Landlord (pursuant to this Article XXXVI ), Tenant shall reasonably cooperate and take all actions reasonably necessary (including providing all reasonable assistance to Successor Tenant) to effectuate the transfer of the Successor Assets and operational control of the Facility to Successor Tenant in an orderly manner so as to minimize to the maximum extent feasible any disruption to the continued orderly operation of the Facility for its Primary Intended Use. Concurrently with the transfer of the Successor Assets to Successor Tenant, (i) Tenant shall assign to Successor Tenant (and Successor Tenant shall assume) any then-effective Subleases or other agreements (to the extent such other agreements are assignable) relating to the Leased Property, and (ii) Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord and/or Successor Tenant in the condition required under this Lease. Notwithstanding the

Schedule 7-2



expiration of the Term and anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that this Article XXXVI applies, unless Landlord consents to the contrary, until such time that Tenant transfers the Successor Assets and operational control of the Facility to a Successor Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article XXXVI , Tenant shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) continue to (and Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain possession of the Leased Property to the extent necessary to) operate the Facility in accordance with the applicable terms of this Lease and the course and manner in which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) has operated the Facility prior to the end of the Term (including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent hereunder at the rate provided in Section 36.1 (and not subject to Article XIX )); provided, however, that Tenant shall have no obligation (unless specifically agreed to by Tenant) to operate the Facility (or pay any such Rent) under such arrangement for more than two (2) years after the Expiration Date.
Until the Trigger Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Schedule 7 or otherwise set forth in this Lease, none of the obligations of Tenant or the rights and privileges of Landlord pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement with respect to the access to, and the delivery, use, licensing, and transfer of, the Property Specific IP, Property Related IP, CPLV Guest Data, Property Specific Guest Data, and other Intellectual Property, as applicable, shall be limited, restricted, diminished, amended, modified, supplemented, or otherwise affected by the terms and provisions of the Pre-Trigger Date Article XXXVI, and, without limitation of the foregoing, in the event any terms and provisions of the Pre-Trigger Date Article XXXVI conflict with, or are inconsistent with, the terms and provisions of the Transition Services Agreement in any manner that could be interpreted as limiting, restricting, diminishing, or otherwise adversely affecting in any way whatsoever any of Tenant’s obligations to provide to Landlord (and/or to Fee Mortgagee in its capacity as a successor to or assign of Landlord under the Lease, if applicable) access to, and the delivery, use, licensing, and transfer of, the Property Specific IP, Property Related IP, CPLV Guest Data, Property Specific Guest Data, and other Intellectual Property, as applicable, then the terms and provisions of the Transition Services Agreement shall govern and control with respect to any such conflict or inconsistency; provided that, in the event of a transfer of the Successor Assets to a Successor Tenant pursuant to the Pre-Trigger Date Article XXXVI, the Successor Assets shall include the Property Specific IP, Property Related IP, CPLV Guest Data, Property Specific Guest Data, and other Intellectual Property, as applicable.

LEASE (NON-CPLV)
THIS LEASE (NON-CPLV) (this “ Lease ”) is entered into as of October 6, 2017, by and among the entities listed on Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, and together with their respective successors and assigns, “ Landlord ”), and CEOC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the entities listed on Schedule B attached hereto (collectively, or if the context clearly requires, individually, and together with their respective successors and assigns, “ Tenant ”).
RECITALS
A.    Commencing on January 15, 2015 and continuing thereafter, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Debtors ”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “ Bankruptcy Court ”), jointly administered under Case No. 15-01145, and the Bankruptcy Court has confirmed the “Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code” (as it may be altered, amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms of Article X thereof, the “ Bankruptcy Plan ”).
B.    Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Plan, on October 6, 2017 the Debtors transferred the Leased Property to Landlord.
C.    Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Plan, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease (Non-CPLV), dated as of October 6, 2017 (as amended by (i) that certain First Amendment to Lease (Non-CPLV), dated as of December 22, 2017, (ii) that certain Second Amendment to Lease (Non-CPLV) and Ratification of SNDA, dated as of February 16, 2018 and (iii) that certain Third Amendment to Lease (Non-CPLV), dated as of April 2, 2018, collectively, the “ Original Lease ”), whereby Landlord leased the “Leased Property” (as defined in the Original Lease) (the “ Original Leased Property ”) to Tenant and Tenant leased the Original Leased Property from Landlord, upon the terms set forth in the Original Lease.
D.    Immediately following the execution of the Original Lease, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, merged into CEOC, LLC.
E.    Landlord and Tenant wish to amend the Original Lease as set forth herein.
F.    Capitalized terms used in this Lease and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Article II hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

DEMISE; TERM
1.1     Leased Property . Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Landlord demises and leases to Tenant and Tenant accepts and leases from Landlord all of Landlord’s rights and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “ Leased Property ”):
(a)     the real property described in Exhibit B attached hereto, together with any ownership interests in adjoining roadways, alleyways, strips, gores and the like appurtenant thereto (collectively, the “ Land ”);
(b)     the Ground Leases (as defined below), together with the leasehold estates in the Ground Leased Property (as defined below), as to which this Lease will constitute a sublease;
(c)     all buildings, structures, Fixtures and improvements of every kind now or hereafter located on the Land or the improvements located thereon or permanently affixed to the Land or the improvements located









thereon, including, but not limited to, alleyways and connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines appurtenant to such buildings and structures (collectively, the “ Leased Improvements ”), provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect or contradict the provisions of this Lease which specify that Tenant shall be entitled to certain rights with respect to or benefits of the Tenant Capital Improvements as expressly set forth herein;
(d)     all easements, development rights and other rights appurtenant to the Land or the Leased Improvements; and
(e)     any vessel, riverboat, barge or ship used as a Gaming Facility or which is ancillary to a Gaming Facility, including but not limited to (i) a vessel, riverboat, barge or ship of any kind or nature, whether or not temporarily or permanently moored or affixed to any real property (including its engines, machinery, boats, boilers, masts, rigging, anchors, chains, cables, apparel, tackle, outfit, spare gear, fuel, consumables or their stores, belongings and appurtenances, whether on board or ashore, and all additions, improvements and replacements) which has a current and valid certificate of documentation issued by the National Vessel Documentation Center (“ Certificate of Documentation ”)  or a current and valid certificate of compliance issued by a Gaming Authority (“ Certificate of Compliance ”) or in the past has been the subject of a Certificate of Documentation and/or Certificate of Compliance, (ii) any property which is a vessel within the meaning given to that term in 1 U.S.C. § 3, and (iii) any property which would be a vessel within the meaning of that term as defined in 1 U.S.C. § 3 but for its removal from navigation for use in gaming or other business operations and/or any modifications made thereto to facilitate dockside gaming or other business operations,  and, in each case, all appurtenances thereof.
The Leased Property is leased subject to all covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters of any nature affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof as of the Commencement Date and such subsequent covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters as may hereafter arise in accordance with the terms of this Lease or as may otherwise be agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant, whether or not of record, including any matters which would be disclosed by an inspection or accurate survey of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
Except as more specifically provided in the following paragraph, to the extent Landlord’s ownership of any Leased Property or any portion thereof (including any improvement (including any Capital Improvement) or other property) that does not constitute “real property” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.856-3(d), which would otherwise be owned by Landlord and leased to Tenant pursuant to this Lease, could cause Landlord REIT to fail to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” (within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto), then a portion of such property shall automatically instead be owned by Propco TRS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto) of Landlord REIT (the “ Propco TRS ”), to the extent necessary such that Landlord’s ownership of such Leased Property does not cause Landlord REIT to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust, provided, there shall be no adjustment in the Rent as a result of the foregoing.  In such event, Landlord shall cause the Propco TRS to make such property available to Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof; however, Landlord shall remain fully liable for all obligations of Landlord under this Lease and shall retain sole decision-making authority for any matters for which Landlord’s consent or approval is required or permitted to be given and for which Landlord’s discretion may be exercised under this Lease.  The terms and conditions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to the casino at the Southern Indiana Leased Property, which shall be governed by, among other things, the following paragraph and the final paragraph of the definition of “ Rent ” set forth in Article II hereof.
Furthermore, Tenant acknowledges that the casino at the Southern Indiana Leased Property is currently located on a barge which Tenant intends to relocate in the near future to a portion of the Leased Property currently consisting of vacant land adjacent to the hotel located at such Leased Property as part of the Southern Indiana Redevelopment Project. In the event that an Accountant mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant determines at any time that the relative values of the portions of the Southern Indiana Leased Property that constitute “real property” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.856-3(d) on the one hand, and the portions that do not constitute “real property” on the other hand, could reasonably be expected to cause Landlord REIT to fail to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” (within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto), the minimum portion of assets of the Southern Indiana Leased Property necessary to rectify such failure shall automatically instead be owned by a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code, or any similar or successor

2







provision thereto) that owns solely such assets (“ Southern Indiana Barge TRS ”) and, in such event, Landlord shall cause the Southern Indiana Barge TRS to make such property available to Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof; however, Landlord shall remain fully liable for all obligations of Landlord under this Lease and shall retain sole decision-making authority for any matters for which Landlord’s consent or approval is required or permitted to be given and for which Landlord’s discretion may be exercised under this Lease.
1.2     Single, Indivisible Lease . This Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the Leased Property and not separate leases governed by similar terms. The Leased Property constitutes one economic unit, and the Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed upon based on a demise of all of the Leased Property to Tenant as a single, composite, inseparable transaction and would have been substantially different had separate leases or a divisible lease been intended. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated), all provisions of this Lease apply equally and uniformly to all components of the Leased Property collectively as one unit. The Parties intend that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property and, in particular but without limitation, that, for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. Section 365, or any successor or replacement thereof or any analogous state law, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease and executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit and that this Lease must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only as to all) of the Leased Property. The Parties may elect to amend this Lease from time to time to modify the boundaries of the Land, to exclude one or more components or portions thereof, and/or to include one or more additional components as part of the Leased Property, and any such future addition to the Leased Property shall not in any way change the indivisible and nonseverable nature of this Lease and all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to apply in full force. Furthermore, under certain circumstances as more particularly provided in this Lease below, one or more of the Facilities hereunder may, subject to the provisions of this Lease, be removed from this Lease and the corresponding portion of the Leased Property will no longer be part of the Leased Property and such reduction of the Leased Property shall not in any way change the indivisible and nonseverable nature of this Lease and all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to apply in full force with respect to the balance of the Leased Property. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 1.2 is not intended to and shall not be deemed to limit, vitiate or supersede anything contained in Section 41.17 hereof.
1.3     Term . The “ Term ” of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and expire on the Expiration Date (i.e., the Term shall consist of the Initial Term plus all Renewal Terms, to the extent exercised as set forth in Section 1.4 below, subject to any earlier termination of the Term pursuant to the terms hereof). The initial stated term of this Lease (the “ Initial Term ”) shall commence on October 6, 2017 (the “ Commencement Date ”) and expire on October 31, 2032 (the “ Initial Stated Expiration Date ”). The “ Stated Expiration Date ” means the Initial Stated Expiration Date or the expiration date of the most recently exercised Renewal Term, as the case may be.
1.4     Renewal Terms . The Term of this Lease may be extended for four (4) separate “ Renewal Terms ” of five (5) years each if (a) at least twelve (12), but not more than eighteen (18), months prior to the then current Stated Expiration Date, Tenant (or, pursuant to Section 17.1(e) , a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) delivers to Landlord a “ Renewal Notice ” stating that it is irrevocably exercising its right to extend this Lease for one (1) Renewal Term; and (b) no Tenant Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Landlord receives the Renewal Notice or on the last day of the then current Term (other than a Tenant Event of Default that is in the process of being cured by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee in compliance in all respects with Section 17.1(d) and Section 17.1(e) ). Subject to the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease, upon Tenant’s timely delivery to Landlord of a Renewal Notice, the Term of this Lease shall be extended for the then applicable Renewal Term. During any such Renewal Term, except as specifically provided for herein, all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. After the last Renewal Term, Tenant shall have no further right to renew or extend the Term. If Tenant fails to validly and timely exercise any right to extend this Lease, then all subsequent rights to extend the Term shall terminate.
1.5     Maximum Fixed Rent Term . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Term with respect to any Excluded Renewal Property shall expire as of the end of the Renewal Term immediately prior to the Renewal Term that would cause the Term to extend beyond the expiration of the Maximum Fixed Rent Term (after taking into account Maximum Fixed Rent Term extensions, if any, pursuant to clause (c)(iv) of the definition of “ Rent ”), in which

3







event, the applicable Excluded Renewal Property shall revert to Landlord and no longer shall be included in the Leased Property hereunder, and all Tenant’s Property pertaining to such Excluded Renewal Property (including any Gaming Licenses relating thereto) shall remain owned by Tenant. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything otherwise to the contrary contained herein, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree, as more particularly provided in clause (c)(iv) of the definition of “Rent”, that in no event shall the Term of this Lease with respect to the Chester Property be extended past twenty-nine (29) years and three hundred sixty-four (364) days from and after the Amendment Date.

RENT
3.1     Payment of Rent .
(a)     Generally . During the Term, Tenant will pay to Landlord the Rent and Additional Charges in lawful money of the United States of America and legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in the manner provided in Section 3.4 .
(b)     Payment of Rent until Commencement of Variable Rent . On the Commencement Date, a prorated portion of the first monthly installment of Rent shall be paid by Tenant for the period from the Commencement Date until the last day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs, based on the number of days during such period. Thereafter, for the first seven (7) Lease Years, Rent shall be payable by Tenant in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Rent amount for the applicable Lease Year on the first (1st)

47







day of each calendar month (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Lease Year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, (i) the incremental portion of the annual Rent due for the second (2 nd ) Lease Year equal to Twenty-One Million and No/100 Dollars ($21,000,000.00) relating to the Chester Property (such incremental portion of annual Rent, the “ Incremental Chester Rent ”) shall not be payable with respect to the period prior to the Amendment Date, but instead shall be prorated and payable with respect to the period commencing on the Amendment Date in accordance with the following clause (ii) , (ii) on the Amendment Date, a prorated portion of the amount of the monthly installment of the Incremental Chester Rent for the month in which the Amendment Date occurs shall be paid by Tenant for the period from the Amendment Date until the last day of such calendar month, based on the number of days during such period, (iii) on the Amendment Date, the amount of each remaining monthly installment of Rent in the Lease Year in which the Amendment Date occurs (i.e., each installment of Rent payable in such Lease Year after the Amendment Date) shall be recalculated to give effect to the changes to Rent effectuated by the amendments to this Lease on the Amendment Date and (iv) on the Amendment Date, if the Amendment Date occurs after the first day of the second (2 nd ) Lease Year, a “catch-up” Rent payment in the amount of the product of (1) Six Million Four Hundred Ninety-Nine Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($6,499,500.00) multiplied by (2) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is the number of calendar days that have commenced from and after the beginning of the second (2 nd ) Lease Year and (II) the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365), shall be paid by Tenant, which “catch-up” payment represents incremental Rent (excluding Incremental Chester Rent) that would have been due had the changes to the definition of Rent effectuated by the amendments to this Lease on the Amendment Date been effective on the first day of the second (2 nd ) Lease Year.
(c)     Payment of Rent following Commencement of Variable Rent . From the commencement of the eighth (8th) Lease Year and continuing until the Expiration Date, both Base Rent and Variable Rent during any Lease Year shall be payable in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Base Rent and Variable Rent amounts for the applicable Lease Year on the first (1st) day of each calendar month (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Lease Year; provided , however , that for each month where Variable Rent is payable but the amount thereof depends upon calculation of Net Revenue not yet known ( e.g. , the first few months of the eighth (8th) Lease Year, the eleventh (11th) Lease Year, and (if applicable) the first (1st) Lease Year of each Renewal Term), the amount of the Variable Rent payable monthly in advance shall remain the same as in the immediately preceding month, and provided , further , that Tenant shall make a payment to Landlord (or be entitled to set off against its Rent payment due, as applicable) on the first (1st) day of the calendar month (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of the month is not a Business Day) following the completion of such calculation in the amount necessary to “true-up” any underpayments or overpayments of Variable Rent for such interim period. Tenant shall complete such calculation of Net Revenue as provided in Section 3.2 of this Lease.
(d)     Proration for Partial Lease Year . Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, Rent and applicable Additional Charges shall be prorated on a per diem basis as to any Lease Year containing less than twelve (12) calendar months, and with respect to any installment thereof due for any partial months at the beginning and end of the Term.
(e)     Rent Allocation .
(i)     Rent (other than the Rent allocated to the Chester Property) during the initial seven (7) Lease Years and Rent thereafter for the duration of the Initial Term shall be allocated as specified in Schedule 5 hereto and such allocations of Rent and Base Rent shall represent Tenant’s accrued liability on account of the use of the Leased Property during the Initial Term. Landlord and Tenant agree that such allocations are intended to constitute a specific allocation of fixed rent within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.467-1(c)(2)(ii)(A) to the applicable period and in the respective amounts set forth in Schedule 5 hereto. Landlord and Tenant agree, for purposes of federal income tax returns filed by it (or on any income tax returns on which its income is included), (i) to accrue rental income and rental expense, respectively (other than the Rent allocated to the Chester Property) during the Initial Term in the amounts equal to the amount set forth under the caption “ Rent Allocation ” in Schedule 5 hereto and (ii) to accrue rental income and expense, respectively, with respect to the Rent allocated to the Chester Property, in the taxable year in which such Rent is actually paid.

48







(ii)     Initial Base Rent shall be allocated among the Leased Property identified on Schedule 5-A as set forth on Schedule 5-A . On each Escalator Adjustment Date, the Escalator shall be applied to each allocated Base Rent amount, and the aggregate of such allocated amounts, each as increased by the Escalator, shall constitute Base Rent for the applicable Lease Year. Adjustments of Base Rent occurring at the commencement of the eighth (8th) Lease Year and the eleventh (11th) Lease Year shall be determined on an individual Leased Property basis, by calculating seventy percent (70%) or eighty percent (80%), respectively, of total Rent for the applicable prior Lease Year with respect to each such Leased Property, and then aggregating such resulting amounts to determine total adjusted Base Rent. Similarly, Variable Rent shall be determined on an individual Leased Property basis, by applying the formula for Variable Rent (as set forth in the definition of Rent above) to each individual Leased Property and the Net Revenue attributable thereto, and then aggregating such resulting amounts to determine total adjusted Variable Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in determining Base Rent and Variable Rent as described in this Section 3.1(e)(ii) , no cap or floor shall apply to the calculations on an individual Leased Property basis, and, instead, once the individual allocated amounts are aggregated, if the resulting amount is required to be adjusted to comport with an applicable cap or floor, then the resulting decrease or increase (to comply with the cap or floor) shall be allocated pro rata among the Leased Properties.
3.2     Variable Rent Determination .
(a)     Variable Rent Statement . Tenant shall, no later than ninety (90) days after the end of each Variable Rent Determination Period during the Term, furnish to Landlord a statement (the “ Variable Rent Statement ”), which Variable Rent Statement shall (i) set forth the sum of the Net Revenue realized with respect to the Facilities and the Joliet Facility (so long as the Joliet Facility is being leased to Joliet Tenant by Joliet Landlord pursuant to the Joliet Lease) during each of (x) such just-ended Variable Rent Determination Period and (y) except with respect to the first (1st) Variable Rent Statement, the Variable Rent Determination Period immediately preceding such just-ended Variable Rent Determination Period, (ii) except with respect to the first (1st) Variable Rent Statement, set forth Tenant’s calculation of the per annum Variable Rent payable hereunder during the next Variable Rent Payment Period, (iii) be accompanied by reasonably appropriate supporting data and information, and (iv) be certified by a senior financial officer of Tenant and expressly state that such officer has examined the reports of Net Revenue therein and the supporting data and information accompanying the same, that such examination included such tests of Tenant’s books and records as reasonably necessary to make such determination, and that such statement accurately presents in all material respects the Net Revenues for the applicable periods covered thereby, so that Tenant shall commence paying the applicable Variable Rent payable during each Variable Rent Payment Period hereunder (in accordance with the calculation set forth in each such Variable Rent Statement) no later than the first (1st) day of the fourth (4 th ) calendar month during such Variable Rent Payment Period (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of such month is not a Business Day).
(b)     Maintenance of Records Relating to Variable Rent Statement . Tenant shall maintain, at its corporate offices, for a period of not less than six (6) years following the end of each Lease Year, adequate records which shall evidence the Net Revenue realized by the Facilities and the Joliet Facility (so long as the Joliet Facility is being leased to Joliet Tenant by Joliet Landlord pursuant to the Joliet Lease) during each Lease Year, together with all such records that would normally be examined by an independent auditor pursuant to GAAP in performing an audit of Tenant’s Variable Rent Statements. The provisions and covenants of this Section 3.2(b) shall survive the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease.
(c)     Audits . At any time within two (2) years of receipt of any Variable Rent Statement, Landlord shall have the right to cause to be conducted an independent audit of the matters covered thereby, conducted by a nationally-recognized independent public accounting firm mutually reasonably agreed to by the Parties. Such audit shall be limited to items necessary to ascertain an accurate determination of the calculation of the Variable Rent payable hereunder, and shall be conducted during normal business hours at the principal executive office of Tenant. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit (i) that there has been a deficiency in the payment of Variable Rent, such deficiency shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after such determination, or (ii) that there has been an excess payment of Variable Rent, such excess shall become due and payable by Landlord to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after such determination. In addition, if any Variable Rent Statement shall be found to

49







have understated the per annum Variable Rent payable during any Variable Rent Payment Period by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%), and Landlord is entitled to any additional Variable Rent as a result of such understatement, then (x) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses which may be incurred by Landlord in determining and collecting the understatement or underpayment, including the cost of the audit (if applicable) and (y) interest at the Overdue Rate on the amount of the deficiency from the date when said payment should have been made until paid. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit that the applicable Variable Rent Statement did not understate the per annum Variable Rent payable during any Variable Rent Payment Period by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%), then Landlord shall pay to Tenant all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in making such determination, including the cost of the audit. In addition, if any Variable Rent Statement shall be found to have willfully and intentionally understated the per annum Variable Rent by more than five percent (5%), such understatement shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a Tenant Event of Default under this Lease. Any audit conducted pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) shall be performed subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 23.1(c) hereof. The receipt by Landlord of any Variable Rent Statement or any Variable Rent paid in accordance therewith for any period shall not constitute an admission of the correctness thereof.
3.3     Late Payment of Rent or Additional Charges . Tenant hereby acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent or Additional Charges will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of which is presently anticipated to be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or Additional Charges payable directly to Landlord shall not be paid within four (4) days after its due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the amount of such installment or Additional Charges and (b) the maximum amount permitted by law. The Parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. The Parties further agree that any such late charge constitutes Rent, and not interest, and such assessment does not constitute a lender or borrower/creditor relationship between Landlord and Tenant. If any installment of Rent (or Additional Charges payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid within nine (9) days after its due date, the amount unpaid, including any late charges previously accrued and unpaid, shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate (from such ninth (9 th ) day after the due date of such installment until the date of payment thereof) (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding), and Tenant shall pay such interest to Landlord on demand. The payment of such late charge or such interest shall not constitute a waiver of, nor excuse or cure, any default under this Lease, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Landlord. No failure by Landlord to insist upon strict performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to pay late charges and interest on sums overdue shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to enforce the provisions, terms and conditions of this Section 3.3 . No payment by Tenant nor receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than may be required to be paid hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of any such payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check tendered as payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord, in its sole discretion, may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such payment due or pursue any other right or remedy in this Lease provided.
3.4     Method of Payment of Rent . Rent and Additional Charges to be paid to Landlord shall be paid by electronic funds transfer debit transactions through wire transfer, ACH or direct deposit of immediately available federal funds and shall be initiated by Tenant for settlement on or before the applicable Payment Date in each case (or, in respect of Additional Charges, as applicable, such other date as may be applicable hereunder); provided, however, if the Payment Date is not a Business Day, then settlement shall be made on the preceding Business Day. Landlord shall provide Tenant with appropriate wire transfer, ACH and direct deposit information in a Notice from Landlord to Tenant. If Landlord directs Tenant to pay any Rent or any Additional Charges to any party other than Landlord, Tenant shall send to Landlord, simultaneously with such payment, a copy of the transmittal letter or invoice and a check whereby such payment is made or such other evidence of payment as Landlord may reasonably require.
3.5     Net Lease . Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (i) this Lease is and is intended to be what is commonly referred to as a “net, net, net” or “triple net” lease, and (ii) the Rent (including, for avoidance of doubt, following commencement of the obligation to pay Variable Rent hereunder, the Base Rent and Variable Rent components of the Rent) and Additional Charges shall be paid absolutely net to Landlord, without abatement, deferment, reduction, defense, counterclaim, claim, demand, notice, deduction or offset of any kind whatsoever, so that this Lease

50







shall yield to Landlord the full amount or benefit of the installments of Rent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, following commencement of the obligation to pay Variable Rent hereunder, the Base Rent and Variable Rent components of the Rent) and Additional Charges throughout the Term, all as more fully set forth in Article V and except and solely to the extent expressly provided in Article XIV (in connection with a Casualty Event), in Article XV (in connection with a Condemnation), in Section 3.1 (in connection with the “true-up”, if any, applicable to the onset of a Variable Rent Payment Period), in Section 18.2 , in Section 22.9(c) (in connection with an L1 Transfer or L2 Transfer) and in Section 41.16 . If Landlord commences any proceedings for non-payment of Rent, Tenant will not interpose any defense, offset, claim, counterclaim or cross complaint or similar pleading of any nature or description in such proceedings unless Tenant would lose or waive such claim by the failure to assert it. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to assert such claims in a separate action brought by Tenant. The covenants to pay Rent and Additional Charges hereunder are independent covenants, and Tenant shall have no right to hold back, deduct, defer, reduce, offset or fail to pay any such amounts for default by Landlord or for any other reason whatsoever, except solely as and to the extent provided in Section 3.1 and this Section 3.5 .

Subject to Article XII relating to permitted contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before they become delinquent (other than any payments with respect to (x) Ground Leases required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or (y) Property Documents or Chester Property Payment Agreements required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.2(f) , which Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid when such payments are due and payable, as required under the applicable Ground Lease, Property Document or Chester Property Payment Agreement) during the Term to the applicable taxing authority or other party imposing the same before any fine, penalty, premium or interest may be added for non-payment (provided, (i) such covenant shall not be construed to require early or advance payments that would reduce or discount the amount otherwise owed and (ii) Tenant shall not be required to pay any Impositions that under the terms of any applicable Ground Lease, Property Document or Chester Property Payment Agreement are required to be paid by the Ground Lessor or counterparty thereunder). Tenant shall make such payments directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and on a monthly basis furnish to Landlord a summary of such payments, together, upon the request of Landlord, with copies of official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If Tenant is not permitted to, or it is otherwise not feasible for Tenant to, make such payments directly to the taxing authorities or other applicable party, then Tenant shall make such payments to Landlord at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such payments becoming delinquent (except in the case of any such payments with respect to (x) Ground Leases required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or (y) Property Documents or Chester Property Payment Agreements required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.2(f) , which Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such payments becoming due and payable under the applicable Ground Lease, Property Document or Chester Property Payment Agreement), and Landlord shall make such payments to the taxing authorities or other applicable party prior to delinquency (or, in the case of any such payments with respect to (x) Ground Leases required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or (y) Property Documents or Chester Property Payment Agreements required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.2(f) , the date that such payments are due and payable under the applicable Ground Lease, Property Document or Chester Property Payment Agreement). Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any bills received by Landlord for Impositions, promptly following Landlord’s receipt thereof. Tenant’s obligation to pay Impositions shall be absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property to the extent payable during the Term or any part thereof, subject to Article XII . Notwithstanding anything in the first sentence of this Section 4.1 to the contrary, if any Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments, whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, Tenant may pay the same, and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments before the same respectively become delinquent and before any fine, penalty, premium or further interest may be added thereto.
(a)     Landlord or Landlord REIT shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal Requirements with respect to Landlord’s net income, gross receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock and any other returns required to be filed by or in the name of Landlord (the “ Landlord Tax Returns ”), and Tenant or Tenant’s applicable direct or indirect parent shall prepare and file all other tax returns and reports as may

51







be required by Legal Requirements with respect to or relating to the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property.

Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, shall provide the other Party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property classified as personal property. Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest.
(d)     Billings for reimbursement by Tenant to Landlord of personal property or real property taxes and any taxes due under the Landlord Tax Returns, if and to the extent Tenant is responsible for such taxes under the terms of this Section 4.1 (subject to Article XII ), shall be accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify in reasonable detail the personal property or real property or other tax obligations of Landlord with respect to which such payments are made.
(e)     Impositions imposed or assessed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs shall be adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant; provided , that Tenant’s obligation to pay its prorated share of Impositions imposed or assessed before the Expiration Date in respect of a tax-fiscal period during the Term shall survive the Expiration Date (and its right to contest the same pursuant to Article XII shall survive the Stated Expiration Date). Landlord will not enter into agreements that will result in, or consent to the imposition of, additional Impositions without Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , in each case, Tenant is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement. Impositions imposed or assessed in respect of any tax-fiscal period occurring (in whole or in part) prior to the Commencement Date, if any, shall be Tenant’s obligation to pay or cause to be paid.
4.2     Utilities and Other Matters . Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in the Leased Property. Tenant shall also pay or reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses of any kind whatsoever which at any time with respect to the Term hereof may be imposed against Landlord by reason of any Property Documents, or with respect to easements, licenses or other rights over, across or with respect to any adjacent or other property which benefits the Leased Property or any Capital Improvement, including any and all costs and expenses associated with any utility, drainage and parking easements relating to the Leased Property (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any costs and expenses under any Fee Mortgage Documents).
4.3     Compliance Certificate . Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, promptly following Landlord’s receipt thereof, any bills received by Landlord for items required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, Impositions, utilities and insurance. Promptly upon request of Landlord (but so long as no Event of Default is continuing no more frequently than one time per Fiscal Quarter), Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a certification stating that all or a specified portion of Impositions, utilities, insurance premiums or, to the extent specified by Landlord, any other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder that have, in each case, come due prior to the date of such certification have been paid (or that such payments are being contested in good faith by Tenant in accordance herewith) and specifying the portion of the Leased Property to which such payments relate.
4.4     Impound Account . At Landlord’s option following the occurrence and during the continuation of a monetary Tenant Event of Default (to be exercised by thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant), Tenant shall be required to deposit, at the time of any payment of Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the sum of (i)

52







Tenant’s estimated annual real and personal property taxes required pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord), and (ii) Tenant’s estimated annual insurance premium costs pursuant to Article XIII hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord). Such amounts shall be applied to the payment of the obligations in respect of which said amounts were deposited, on or before the respective dates on which the same or any of them would become due. The reasonable cost of administering such impound account shall be paid by Tenant. Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be deemed to affect any other right or remedy of Landlord hereunder.
ARTICLE V

NO TERMINATION, ABATEMENT, ETC.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease as to all or any portion of the Leased Property other than by reason of an Event of Default. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall not be affected by reason of, except as expressly set forth in Articles XIV and XV , (i) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof from whatever cause, or any Condemnation of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof or, discontinuance of any service or utility servicing the same; (ii) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof or the interference with such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (iii) any claim that Tenant has or might have against Landlord by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Landlord hereunder or under any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (iv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, consolidation, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (v) for any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing. Tenant hereby specifically waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law (a) to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or (b) which may entitle Tenant to any abatement, deduction, reduction, suspension or deferment of or defense, counterclaim, claim or set-off against the Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder, except in each case as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article V shall preclude Tenant from bringing a separate action against Landlord for any matter described in the foregoing clauses (ii) , (iii) or (v) and Tenant is not waiving other rights and remedies not expressly waived herein. Tenant's agreement that, except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, any eviction by paramount title as described in item (ii) above shall not affect Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, shall not in any way discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other insurance, and, to the extent the recovery thereof is not necessary to compensate Landlord for any damages incurred by any such eviction, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for any sums recovered by Landlord under any such policy of title or other insurance in respect of any such eviction up to the maximum amount paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Article V and Article XIV hereof in respect of any such eviction or the duration thereof, and Landlord, upon request by Tenant, shall assign Landlord’s rights under such policies to Tenant provided such assignment does not adversely affect Landlord’s rights under any such policy and provided further, that Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such assignment except to the extent such liability, cost or expense arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
ARTICLE VI .

OWNERSHIP OF REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
6.1     Ownership of the Leased Property .
(a)     Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that they have executed and delivered this Lease with the understanding that (i) the Leased Property is the property of Landlord, (ii) Tenant has only the right to

53







the possession and use of the Leased Property upon the terms and conditions of this Lease, (iii) this Lease is a “true lease,” is not a financing lease, mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, trust agreement, security agreement or other financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this Lease are those of a true lease, (iv) the business relationship created by this Lease and any related documents is and at all times shall remain that of landlord and tenant, (v) this Lease has been entered into by each Party in reliance upon the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein, and (vi) none of the agreements contained herein is intended, nor shall the same be deemed or construed, to create a partnership between Landlord and Tenant, to make them joint venturers, to make Tenant an agent, legal representative, partner, subsidiary or employee of Landlord, or to make Landlord in any way responsible for the debts, obligations or losses of Tenant.
(b)     Each of the Parties covenants and agrees, subject to Section 6.1(d) , not to (i) file any income tax return or other associated documents, (ii) file any other document with or submit any document to any governmental body or authority, or (iii) enter into any written contractual arrangement with any Person, in each case that takes a position other than that this Lease is a “true lease” with Landlord as owner of the Leased Property (except as expressly set forth below) and Tenant as the tenant of the Leased Property.  For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, Landlord and Tenant agree that (x) Landlord shall be treated as the owner of the Leased Property eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 or 168 of the Code with respect to all Leased Property excluding the Leased Property described in clauses (y) and (z) below, (y) Tenant shall be treated as owner of, and eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 or 168 of the Code with respect to, all Tenant Capital Improvements (including, for avoidance of doubt and for purposes of this sentence, Tenant Material Capital Improvements) and Material Capital Improvements funded by Landlord pursuant to a Landlord MCI Financing that is treated as a loan for such income tax purposes, and (z) Tenant shall be treated as owner of, and eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 and 168 of the Code with respect to any Leased Improvements related to any capital improvement projects ongoing as of the Commencement Date for which fifty percent (50%) or less of the costs of such projects have been paid or accrued as of the Commencement Date (the completion of such capital improvement projects being an obligation of Tenant at no cost or expense to Landlord). For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord shall be treated as having received from the Debtors on the Commencement Date, as a capital contribution together with the transfer of the Leased Property to Landlord pursuant to the Bankruptcy Plan, an obligation of Tenant (at no cost or expense to Landlord) to complete any Leased Improvements related to any capital improvement projects ongoing as of the Commencement Date for which more than fifty percent (50%) of the costs of such projects have been paid or accrued as of the Commencement Date.
(c)     If, notwithstanding (i) the form and substance of this Lease, (ii) the intent of the Parties, and (iii) the language contained herein providing that this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property, any court of competent jurisdiction finds that this Lease is a financing arrangement, then this Lease shall be considered a secured financing agreement and Landlord’s title to the Leased Property shall constitute a perfected first priority lien in Landlord’s favor on the Leased Property to secure the payment and performance of all the obligations of Tenant hereunder (and to that end, Tenant hereby grants, assigns and transfers to Landlord a security interest in all right, title or interest in or to any and all of the Leased Property, as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of Tenant’s obligations hereunder). In such event, Tenant (and each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) authorizes Landlord, at the expense of Tenant, to make any filings or take other actions as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or advisable in order to effect fully this Lease or to more fully perfect or renew the rights of Landlord, and to subordinate to Landlord the lien of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, with respect to the Leased Property (it being understood that nothing in this Section 6.1(c) shall affect the rights of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Article XVII hereof). At any time and from time to time upon the request of Landlord, and at the expense of the Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts as Landlord may reasonably request in order to effect fully this Section 6.1(c) or to more fully perfect or renew the rights of Landlord with respect to the Leased Property as described in this Section 6.1(c) . If Tenant should reasonably conclude that, as a result of a change in law or GAAP accounting standards, or a change in agency interpretation thereof, GAAP or the SEC require treatment different from that set forth in Section 6.1(b) for applicable non-tax purposes, then (x) Tenant shall promptly give prior Notice to Landlord, accompanied by a written statement that references the applicable pronouncement that controls such treatment and contains a brief description and/or analysis that sets forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which Tenant reached such conclusion, and (y) notwithstanding Section 6.1(b) and this Section 6.1(c) , Tenant may comply with such requirements.

54







(d)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that, as of the Commencement Date, for GAAP purposes this Lease is not expected to be treated as a “true lease” and that the Parties will prepare Financial Statements consistent with GAAP (and for purposes of any SEC or other similar governmental filing purposes), as applicable.
(e)     Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Rent is the fair market rent for the use of the Leased Property and was agreed to by Landlord and Tenant on that basis, and the execution and delivery of, and the performance by Tenant of its obligations under, this Lease does not constitute a transfer of all or any part of the Leased Property, but rather the creation of the Leasehold Estate subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
(f)     Tenant waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization of this Lease as anything other than a true lease of the Leased Property. Tenant stipulates and agrees (1) not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of this Lease of the Leased Property as a true lease, and (2) not to assert or take or omit to take any action inconsistent with the agreements and understandings set forth in Section 1.2 , Section 3.5 or this Section 6.1 . The expressions of intent, the waivers, the representations and warranties, the covenants, the agreements and the stipulations set forth in this Section 6.1 are a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease.
6.2     Ownership of Tenant’s Property . Tenant shall, during the entire Term, (a) own (or lease) and maintain (or cause its Subsidiaries, if any, to own (or lease) and maintain) on the Leased Property adequate and sufficient Tenant’s Property, (b) maintain (or cause its Subsidiaries, if any, to maintain) all of such Tenant’s Property in good order, condition and repair, in all cases as shall be necessary and appropriate in order to operate the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use in material compliance with all applicable licensure and certification requirements and in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and Gaming Regulations, and (c) abide by (or cause its Subsidiaries, if any, to abide by) the terms and conditions of, and not in any way cause a termination of, the Omnibus Agreement. If any of Tenant’s Property requires replacement in order to comply with the foregoing, Tenant shall replace (or cause a Subsidiary to replace) it with similar property of the same or better quality at Tenant’s (or such Subsidiary’s) sole cost and expense. Subject to the foregoing and the other express terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant and its Subsidiaries, if any, may sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of Tenant’s Property in their discretion in the ordinary course of their business and Landlord shall thereafter have no rights to such sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of Tenant’s Property. In the case of any such Tenant’s Property that is leased (rather than owned) by Tenant (or its Subsidiaries, if any), Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any agreements entered into after the Commencement Date pursuant to which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries, if any) leases such Tenant’s Property are assignable to third parties in connection with any transfer by Tenant (or its Subsidiaries, if any) to a replacement lessee or operator at the end of the Term. To the extent not transferred to a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI hereof (and subject to the rights of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Article XVII ), Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property from the Leased Property at the end of the Term. Any Tenant’s Property left on the Leased Property at the end of the Term whose ownership was not transferred to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee or assignee that entered into or succeeded to a New Lease pursuant to the terms hereof or to a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI hereof shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and shall become the property of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but without limitation of Tenant’s express rights to effect replacements, make dispositions or grant liens with respect to Tenant’s Property under this Section 6.2 , Tenant shall own, hold and/or lease, as applicable, all of the material Tenant’s Property relating to the Leased Property.
ARTICLE VII

PRESENT CONDITION & PERMITTED USE
7.1     Condition of the Leased Property . Tenant acknowledges receipt and delivery of possession of the Leased Property and confirms that Tenant has examined and otherwise has knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property prior to and as of the execution and delivery of this Lease and has found the same to be satisfactory for its purposes hereunder, it being understood and acknowledged by Tenant that, immediately prior to Landlord’s acquisition of the Leased Property and contemporaneous entry into the Original Lease (with respect to all of the Original Leased Property) and this Lease (with respect to the Chester Property), Tenant (or its Affiliates) was the owner of all of Landlord’s

55







interest in and to the Leased Property and, accordingly, Tenant is charged with, and deemed to have, full and complete knowledge of all aspects of the condition and state of the Leased Property (with respect to all of the Original Leased Property) as of the Commencement Date and as of the Amendment Date (with respect to the Chester Property). Without limitation of the foregoing and regardless of any examination or inspection made by Tenant, and whether or not any patent or latent defect or condition was revealed or discovered thereby, Tenant is leasing the Leased Property “as is” in its present condition. Without limitation of the foregoing, Tenant waives any claim or action against Landlord in respect of the condition of the Leased Property including any defects or adverse conditions not discovered or otherwise known by Tenant as of the Commencement Date (with respect to all of the Original Leased Property) and as of the Amendment Date (with respect to the Chester Property). LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, INCLUDING AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, OR AS TO THE NATURE OR QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, OR THE STATUS OF TITLE TO THE LEASED PROPERTY OR THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OR STATE OF REPAIR THEREOF, OR THE ZONING OR OTHER LAWS, ORDINANCES, BUILDING CODES, REGULATIONS, RULES AND ORDERS APPLICABLE THERETO OR TO ANY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WHICH MAY BE NOW OR HEREAFTER CONTEMPLATED, THE IMPOSITIONS LEVIED IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR THE USE THAT MAY BE MADE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF, THE INCOME TO BE DERIVED FROM THE FACILITY OR THE EXPENSE OF OPERATING THE SAME, OR THE EXISTENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL SUCH RISKS, LATENT OR PATENT, ARE TO BE BORNE SOLELY BY TENANT INCLUDING ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION AND COMPLIANCE WITH ALL ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS. This Section 7.1 shall not be construed to limit Landlord’s express indemnities made hereunder.
7.2     Use of the Leased Property .
(a)     Tenant shall not use (or cause or permit to be used) any Facility, including the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, including any Capital Improvement, for any use other than the Primary Intended Use without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion. Landlord acknowledges that operation of the Leased Property for its Primary Intended Use generally may require a Gaming License under applicable Gaming Regulations and that without such a license, if applicable, neither Landlord nor Landlord REIT may operate, control or participate in the conduct of the gaming operations at a Facility. Tenant acknowledges that operation of a Facility for its Primary Intended Use generally may require a Gaming License under applicable Gaming Regulations and that without such a license, if applicable, Tenant may not operate, control or participate in the conduct of the gaming operations at the Facility. It is understood that prior to the Chester Property Payment Agreement Obligation End Date, Tenant, and not Landlord, shall be responsible for all Chester Property Payment Agreement Obligations.
(b)     Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste with respect to a Facility, including on or to the Leased Property (and, without limitation, to the Capital Improvements) or cause or permit any nuisance thereon or, except as required by law, knowingly take or suffer any action or condition that will diminish in any material respect, the ability of the Leased Property to be used as a Gaming Facility (or otherwise for the Primary Intended Use) after the Expiration Date.
(c)     Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (i) initiate or support any limiting change in the permitted uses of the Leased Property (or to the extent applicable, limiting zoning reclassification of the Leased Property); (ii) seek any variance under existing land use restrictions, laws, rules or regulations (or, to the extent applicable, zoning ordinances) applicable to the Leased Property or the use of the Leased Property in any manner that adversely affects (other than to a de minimis extent) the value or utility of the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use; (iii) execute or file any subdivision plat or condominium declaration affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or institute, or permit the institution of, proceedings to alter any tax lot comprising the Leased Property or any portion thereof; or (iv) knowingly permit or suffer the Leased Property or any portion thereof to be used by the public or any Person in such manner as might make possible a claim of adverse usage or possession or of any implied dedication or easement ( provided that

56







the proscription in this clause (iv) is not intended to and shall not restrict Tenant in any way from complying with any obligation it may have under applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, Gaming Regulations, to afford to the public access to the Leased Property or any portion thereof). Without limiting the foregoing, (1) Tenant will not impose or permit the imposition of any restrictive covenants, easements or other encumbrances upon the Leased Property (including, subject to the last paragraph of Section 16.1 , any restriction, covenant, easement or other encumbrance which Tenant may otherwise impose or permit to be imposed pursuant to the provisions of any Permitted Exception Document) without Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided , that , Landlord is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement, and (2) other than any liens or other encumbrances granted to a Fee Mortgagee, Landlord will not enter into, amend or otherwise modify agreements that encumber the Leased Property (including any Property Documents (including the Chester Property Payment Agreements)) without Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided , that , Tenant is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement, amendment or other modification. Landlord agrees it will not withhold consent to utility easements and other similar encumbrances made in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business conducted on the Leased Property in accordance with the Primary Intended Use, provided the same does not adversely affect in any material respect the use or utility of the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use. Nothing in the foregoing is intended to vitiate or supersede Tenant’s right to enter into Permitted Leasehold Mortgages or Landlord’s right to enter into Fee Mortgages in each case as and to the extent provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant will not amend or otherwise modify or supplement the Chester Property Payment Agreements without Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, that, Landlord is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such amendment or other modification or supplement.
(d)     Except to the extent resulting from a Permitted Operation Interruption, Tenant shall cause each of the Continuous Operation Facilities to be Continuously Operated during the Term. With respect to any Facility that is not a Continuous Operation Facility, (i) during any time period that such Facility ceases to be Continuously Operated, solely for purposes of calculating Variable Rent in accordance herewith, the Net Revenue associated with such Facility shall be subject to a floor equal to the Net Revenue for such Facility for the calendar year immediately preceding such period that such Facility is not Continuously Operated, prorated for the applicable time period that such Facility is not Continuously Operated and (ii) if a Facility that is not a Continuous Operation Facility ceases to be Continuously Operated for a period of one (1) year, then the Annual Minimum Cap Ex Requirement, the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement A, the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B and the Triennial Allocated Minimum Cap Ex Amount B Floor shall be decreased by the Minimum Cap Ex Reduction Amount (provided, however, that, if at any time thereafter, operations at such Facility resume, such Minimum Cap Ex Requirements and Triennial Allocated Minimum Cap Ex Amount B Floor shall be increased by the amount of such decrease). Further, if any Facility that is not a Continuous Operation Facility ceases to be Continuously Operated for a period of one (1) year, then Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Lease solely as to such Facility, in which event the Rent shall be adjusted in accordance with the Rent Reduction Amount.
(e)     Subject to Article XII regarding permitted contests, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly (i) comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements affecting each Facility and the business conducted thereat, including those regarding the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Property or any portion thereof (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property whether or not compliance therewith may require structural changes in any of the Leased Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, and (ii) procure, maintain and comply in all material respects with all Gaming Regulations and Gaming Licenses, and other authorizations required for the use of the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property for the applicable Primary Intended Use and any other use of the Leased Property (and Capital Improvements then being made) and Tenant’s Property, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Property and Tenant’s Property. In an emergency involving an imminent threat to human health and safety or damage to property, or in the event of a breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Section 7.2 which is not cured within any applicable cure period set forth herein, Landlord or its representatives (and any Fee Mortgagee) may, but shall not be obligated to, enter upon the Leased Property (and, without limitation, all Capital Improvements) (upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant, except in the case of emergency, and Tenant shall be permitted to have Landlord or its representatives accompanied by a representative of Tenant) and take such reasonable actions and incur such reasonable costs and expenses to effect such

57







compliance as it deems advisable to protect its interest in the Leased Property, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Landlord in connection with such actions.
(f)     Without limitation of any of the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall comply with all Property Documents (including any Chester Property Payment Agreements) (i) that are listed on the title policies described on Exhibit J attached hereto, (ii) that are listed on Schedule 10 hereto or (iii) made after the Commencement Date in accordance with the terms of this Lease or as may otherwise be entered into or agreed to in writing by Tenant.

Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant has reviewed and agreed to all of the terms and conditions of the Ground Leases in effect as of the Commencement Date as listed on Schedule 2 attached hereto. Tenant hereby agrees that (x) Tenant shall comply with all provisions, terms and conditions of the Ground Leases in effect as of the Commencement Date as listed on Schedule 2 and, subject to Section 7.3(g) and Section 7.3(h) , any amendments or modifications thereto and any new Ground Leases, in each case except to the extent such provisions, terms and conditions (1) apply solely to Landlord, (2) are not susceptible of being performed (or if breached, are not capable of being cured) by Tenant, and (3) in the case of the Ground Leases in effect as of the Commencement Date, are expressly set forth in the copies of such Ground Leases that were furnished to Landlord by Tenant on or prior to the Commencement Date (provisions, terms and conditions satisfying clauses (1) through (3) , “ Landlord Specific Ground Lease Requirements ”), and (y) Tenant shall not do, or (except with respect to Landlord Specific Ground Lease Requirements) fail to do, anything that would cause any violation of the Ground Leases. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Tenant acknowledges that it shall be obligated to (and shall) pay, as part of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all monetary obligations imposed upon Landlord as the lessee under any and all of the Ground Leases as and when due thereunder, including, without limitation, any rent and additional rent payable thereunder and shall, upon request, provide satisfactory proof evidencing such payments to Landlord, (ii) to the extent Landlord is required to obtain the written consent of the lessor under any applicable Ground Lease (in each case, the “ Ground Lessor ”) to alterations of or the subleasing of all or any portion of the Ground Leased Property pursuant to any Ground Lease, Tenant shall likewise obtain the applicable Ground Lessor’s written consent to alterations of or the sub-subleasing of all or any portion of the Ground Leased Property (in each case, to the extent the same is permitted hereunder), and (iii) (without limitation of the Insurance Requirements hereunder) Tenant shall carry and maintain general liability, automobile liability, property and casualty, worker’s compensation, employer’s liability insurance and such other insurance, if any, in amounts and with policy provisions, coverages and certificates as required of Landlord as tenant under any applicable Ground Lease. The foregoing is not intended to vitiate or supersede Landlord’s rights as lessee under any Ground Lease, and, without limitation of the preceding portion of this sentence or of any other rights or remedies of Landlord hereunder, in the event Tenant fails to comply with its obligations with respect to Ground Leases as described herein (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods thereunder), Landlord shall have the right (but without any obligation to Tenant or any liability for failure to exercise such right), following written notice to Tenant and the passage of a reasonable period of time (except to the extent the failure is of a nature such that it is not practicable for Landlord to provide such prior written notice, in which event Landlord shall provide written notice as soon as practicable) to cure such failure, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with curing such failure. The parties acknowledge that the Ground Leases on the one hand, and this Lease on the other hand, constitute separate contractual arrangements among separate parties and nothing in this Lease shall vitiate or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties to the Ground Leases, and nothing in the Ground Leases shall vitiate or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto pursuant to this Lease (except as specifically set forth in this Section 7.3 ).
(b)     Subject to Section 7.3(c) below, in the event of cancellation or termination of any Ground Lease for any reason whatsoever whether voluntary or involuntary (by operation of law or otherwise) prior to the expiration date of this Lease, including extensions and renewals granted thereunder (other than the cancellation or termination of a Ground Lease entered into in connection with a sale-leaseback transaction by Landlord (other than if such cancellation or termination resulted from Tenant’s default under this Lease), which cancellation or termination results in the Leased Property leased under such Ground Lease no longer being subject to this Lease), then, this Lease

Nothing contained in this Lease shall create, or be construed as creating, any privity of contract or privity of estate between Ground Lessor and Tenant.
(c)     With respect to any Ground Leased Property, the Ground Lease for which has an expiration date (taking into account any renewal options exercised thereunder as of the Commencement Date or hereafter exercised) prior to the expiration of the Term (taking into account any exercised renewal options hereunder), this Lease shall expire solely with respect to such Ground Leased Property concurrently with such Ground Lease expiration date (taking into account the terms of the following sentences of this Section 7.3(c) ). There shall be no reduction in Rent or Required Capital Expenditures by reason of such expiration with respect to, and the corresponding removal from this Lease of, any such Ground Leased Property. Landlord (as ground lessee) shall be required to exercise all renewal options contained in each Ground Lease so as to extend the term thereof ( provided , that Tenant shall furnish to Landlord written notice of the outside date by which any such renewal option must be exercised in order to validly extend the term of any such Ground Lease; such notice shall be delivered no earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the earliest date any such option may be validly exercised and no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the outside date by which such option must be validly exercised, which notice shall be followed by a second notice from Tenant to Landlord of such outside date, such notice to be furnished to Landlord no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the outside date), and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of Landlord’s exercise of such renewal option. With respect to any Ground Lease that otherwise would expire during the Term, Tenant, on Landlord’s behalf, shall have the right to negotiate for a renewal or replacement of such Ground Lease with the third-party ground lessor, on terms satisfactory to Tenant (subject, (i) to Landlord’s reasonable consent with respect to the provisions, terms and conditions thereof which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Landlord, and (ii) in the case of any such renewal or replacement that would extend the term of such Ground Lease beyond the Term, to Landlord’s sole right to approve any such provisions, terms and conditions that would be applicable beyond the Term).
(d)     Nothing contained in this Lease amends, or shall be construed to amend, any provision of the Ground Leases.
(e)     Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties, the Ground Lessor, any master lessor to Ground Lessor and any other party entitled to be indemnified by Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Ground Lease from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with the applicable Facility and/or this Lease with respect to which such party is entitled to indemnification by Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Ground Lease, and from and against all costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon to the extent provided in the applicable Ground Lease; and in case any such action or proceeding be brought against any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties, any Ground Lessor or any master lessor to Ground Lessor or any such party by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord or any of its Affiliates or such other Landlord Indemnified Party, such Ground Lessor or such master lessor to Ground Lessor or any such party, shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party or parties indemnified pursuant to this paragraph or the Ground Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties, the Ground Lessor, any master lessor to Ground Lessor or any other party from or against any claims to the extent resulting from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or (ii) the actions of Landlord except if such actions are the result of Tenant’s failure, in violation of this Lease, to act.
(f)     To the extent required under the applicable Ground Lease, Tenant hereby waives any and all rights of recovery (including subrogation rights of its insurers) from the applicable Ground Lessor, its agents, principals, employees and representatives for any loss or damage, including consequential loss or damage, covered by any insurance policy maintained by Tenant, whether or not such policy is required under the terms of the Ground Lease.

(g)     Landlord shall not enter into any new ground leases with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof (except as provided by Section 7.3(h) ), or amend, modify or terminate any existing Ground Leases (except as provided by Section 7.3(b) or Section 7.3(c)) , in each case without Tenant’s prior written consent in its reasonable discretion, provided , that , Landlord may amend or modify Ground Leases in a manner that will not adversely affect Tenant ( e.g ., an amendment relating to a period following the end of the Term), and Landlord may acquire the fee interest in the property leased pursuant to any Ground Lease, so long as Tenant’s rights and obligations hereunder are not adversely affected thereby.
(h)     Landlord may enter into new Ground Leases with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof (including pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction) or amend or modify any such Ground Leases, provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than replacement Ground Lease(s) made pursuant to Section 7.3(b) or Ground Lease(s) made pursuant to the final sentence of Section 7.3(c)) , Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any additional or more onerous obligations under such new ground lease or amendment or modification thereof with which Tenant is not otherwise obligated to comply under this Lease (and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to incur any additional monetary obligations (whether for payment of rents under such new Ground Lease or otherwise) in connection with such new Ground Lease) (except to a de minimis extent), unless Tenant approves such additional obligations in its sole and absolute discretion.
7.4     Third-Party Reports . Upon Landlord’s reasonable request from time to time, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of any third-party reports obtained by Tenant with respect to the Leased Property, including, without limitation, copies of surveys, environmental reports and property condition reports.

For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 7.5 and Section 16.1(f) hereof shall continue to apply even if the Facilities are being managed pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement.
(b)     For any Facility that is subject to a Permitted Facility Sublease pursuant to Section 22.3(v) , Tenant shall (for so long as such Facility is subject to a Permitted Facility Sublease) cause the applicable subleased Facility to be operated, managed, used, maintained and repaired in all material respects, in accordance with the Applicable Standards.

Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing as to whether Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) is willing to provide financing for such proposed Material Capital Improvement or Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable, and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) is willing to do so in reasonable detail, in the form of a proposed term sheet (such terms and conditions, “ Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal ”). Upon receipt, Tenant shall have ten (10) days to accept, reject or commence negotiating Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal.
(b)     If Tenant Accepts Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Tenant accepts Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal (either initially or, after negotiation, a modified version thereof) (an “ Accepted MCI Financing Proposal ”) and such financing is actually consummated between Tenant and Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) as more particularly provided in Section 10.4(f) below (a “ Landlord MCI Financing ”), then, with respect to Material Capital Improvements, as and when constructed, such Material Capital Improvement shall be deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes except as specifically provided in Section 6.1(b) hereof (and, without limitation, such Material Capital Improvements shall be surrendered to (and all rights therein shall be relinquished in favor of) Landlord upon the Expiration Date).

(d)     If Tenant Declines Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Landlord timely submits Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal and Tenant rejects or fails to accept or commence negotiating Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal within the applicable 10‑day period (or, following commencing negotiating said proposal, Tenant notifies Landlord of Tenant’s decision to cease such discussions), then, subject to the remaining terms of this paragraph, Tenant shall be permitted to either (1) use then-existing, or, subject to Article XVII (in the case of a Material Capital Improvement), enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing for such Material Capital Improvement or Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable, (subject to the following proviso) or (2) use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement or Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable, provided , that Tenant may not use then-existing, or enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing, except in each case on terms that are, taken as a whole, economically more advantageous to Tenant than those offered under Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal. In determining if financing is economically more advantageous, consideration may be given to, among other items, (x) pricing, amortization, length of term and duration of commitment period of such financing; (y) the cost, availability and terms of any financing sufficient to fund such Material Capital Improvement or Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable, and other expenditures which are material in relation to the cost of such Material Capital Improvement or Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable, (if any) which are intended to be funded in connection with the construction of such Material Capital Improvement or Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable, and which are related to the use and operation of such Material Capital Improvement or Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable, and (z) other customary considerations. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable evidence of the terms of any such financing. If Tenant has not used then-existing, or entered into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing (or commenced such Material Capital Improvement or Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable, utilizing Cash) by the date that is nine (9) months following receipt of Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal, then, prior to entering into any such Third‑Party MCI Financing and/or commencing such Material Capital Improvement or Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable, after such nine (9) month period, Tenant shall again be required to send Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice seeking financing from Landlord (on the terms contemplated by this Section 10.4 ). For purposes of clarification, Tenant may use Cash to finance any applicable Material Capital Improvement or Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable, (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to provide Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice).
(e)     Ownership of Material Capital Improvements Not Financed by Landlord . If Tenant constructs a Material Capital Improvement utilizing Third‑Party MCI Financing or Cash in accordance with Sections 10.4(c) or (d) (such Material Capital Improvement being sometimes referred to in this Lease as a “ Tenant Material Capital Improvement ”), then, (A) as and when constructed, such Material Capital Improvement shall be deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes except as specifically provided in Section 6.1(b) hereof, (B) upon any termination of this Lease prior to the Stated Expiration Date as a result of a Tenant Event of Default (except in the event a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee has exercised its right to obtain a New Lease and complies in all respects with Section 17.1(f) and any other applicable provisions of this Lease), such Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Landlord without any reimbursement by Landlord to Tenant, and (C) upon the Stated Expiration Date, such Material Capital Improvements shall be transferred to Tenant; provided , however , upon written notice to Tenant at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, Landlord shall have the option to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements in an amount equal to the Fair Market Ownership Value thereof, and, if Landlord elects to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements, any amount due to Tenant for such reimbursement shall be credited against any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as of the Stated Expiration Date and any remaining portion of such amount shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant on the Stated Expiration Date. If Landlord fails to deliver such written notice electing to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, or otherwise does not consummate such reimbursement at least sixty (60) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date (other than as a result of Tenant’s acts or omissions in violation of this Lease), then Landlord shall be deemed to have elected not to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements. If Landlord elects or is deemed to have elected not to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements in accordance with the foregoing sentence, Tenant shall have

the option to either (1) prior to the Stated Expiration Date, remove such Tenant Material Capital Improvements and restore the affected Leased Property to the same or better condition existing prior to such Tenant Material Capital Improvement being constructed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in which event such Tenant Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Tenant, or (2) leave the applicable Tenant Material Capital Improvements at the Leased Property at the Stated Expiration Date, at no cost to Landlord, in which event such Tenant Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Landlord. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant Material Capital Improvements not funded by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.4 and not removed by Tenant in accordance herewith shall be included in the “Leased Property” under any lease entered into with a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI , and shall be taken into account in determining Successor Tenant Rent.

(iv)     solely with respect to (x) Material Capital Improvements, except to the extent covered by the construction loan and/or funding agreement referenced in clause (iii) above or (y) Released Cluster Parcel Developments that Landlord and Tenant agree will be financed by including them in this Lease, an amendment to this Lease, in a form reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, which may include, among other things, an increase in the Rent (in amounts as agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal), and other provisions as may be necessary or appropriate;

(vi)     if Landlord obtains a lender’s policy of title insurance in connection with such Landlord MCI Financing, for each advance, endorsements to any such policy of title insurance reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord (i) updating the same without any additional exception except those that do not materially affect the value of such land and do not interfere with the intended use of the Leased Property or Released Cluster Parcels, as applicable, or as may otherwise be permitted under this Lease, or as may be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,

66

(vii)     such other billing statements, invoices, certificates, endorsements, opinions, site assessments, surveys, resolutions, ratifications, lien releases and waivers and other instruments and information which are reasonable and customary and consistent in all respects with this Section 10.4 and the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal.
In the event that (1) Tenant is unable, for reasons beyond Tenant’s reasonable control, to satisfy any of the requirements set forth in this Section 10.4(f) (and Landlord is unable or unwilling to waive the same), (2) Landlord and Tenant are unable (despite good faith efforts continuing for at least sixty (60) days after agreement on the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal) to agree on any of the requirements of, or the form of any document required under, this Section 10.4(f) , or (3) Landlord fails or refuses to consummate the Landlord MCI Financing and/or advance funds thereunder, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.4 , Tenant shall be entitled to use then-existing, or, subject to Article XVII (in the case of Material Capital Improvements), enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing for such Material Capital Improvement or such Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable or use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement or Released Cluster Parcel Development, as applicable, without any requirement to send a further Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice to Landlord, provided, that with respect to a Material Capital Improvement, such Material Capital Improvement shall be treated hereunder as a Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless the circumstances described in clause (1) shall have occurred.
10.5     Minimum Capital Expenditures .
(a)     Minimum Capital Expenditures .
(i)     Annual Minimum Cap Ex Requirement . During each full Fiscal Year during the Term, commencing upon the first (1st) full Fiscal Year during the Term, measured as of the last day of each such Fiscal Year, on a collective basis for CEOC and its subsidiaries, Tenant and Other Tenants shall expend Capital Expenditures and Other Capital Expenditures in an aggregate amount equal to no less than the Annual Minimum Cap Ex Amount (the “ Annual Minimum Cap Ex Requirement ”).
(ii)     Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement . During each full Fiscal Year during the Term, commencing upon the first (1st) full Fiscal Year during the Term, measured as of the last day of each such Fiscal Year, Tenant shall expend Capital Expenditures with respect to the Leased Property in an aggregate that, when combined with the amount of Joliet Capital Expenditures expended with respect to the Joliet Leased Property, is equal to at least one percent (1%) of the sum of (a) the Net Revenue from the Facilities for the prior Fiscal Year plus (b) the Net Revenue (as defined in the Joliet Lease) from the Joliet Facility for the prior Fiscal Year, on Capital Expenditures and Joliet Capital Expenditures that, in each case, constitute installation or restoration and repair or other improvements of items with respect to (x) the Leased Property under this Lease and (y) the Joliet Leased Property under the Joliet Lease (the “ Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement ”). In the event of expiration, cancellation or termination of any Ground Lease for any reason whatsoever whether voluntary or involuntary (by operation of law or otherwise), except for a cancellation or termination due to Landlord’s failure to extend the term thereof where Landlord was required to do so hereunder, prior to the expiration date of this Lease, including extensions and renewals granted thereunder, then, for purposes of calculating the amount of Net Revenue from the Facility for determining the Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement, the Net Revenue attributable to the portion of the Leased Property subject to such Ground Lease for the Lease Year immediately prior to such expiration, cancellation or termination of such Ground Lease thereafter shall continue to be included in the calculation of Net Revenue (except to the extent such Ground Lease is replaced by a replacement Ground Lease for all or substantially all of such portion of the Leased Property).
(iii)     Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement A . During each full Triennial Period during the Term, commencing upon the first (1st) full Triennial Period during the Term, measured as of the last day of each such Triennial Period, on a collective basis for CEOC and its subsidiaries, Tenant and Other

67







Tenants shall expend Capital Expenditures and Other Capital Expenditures in an aggregate amount equal to no less than the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A (the “ Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement A ”).
(iv)     Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B . During each full Triennial Period during the Term, commencing upon the first (1st) full Triennial Period during the Term, measured as of the last day of each such Triennial Period, Tenant shall expend Capital Expenditures in an aggregate amount that, when combined with the amount of Joliet Capital Expenditures expended by the Other Tenant under the Joliet Lease, is equal to no less than the greater of (a) the amount which, when added to the amount of Other Capital Expenditures (other than Joliet Capital Expenditures) expended by Other Tenants (other than the Other Tenant under the Joliet Lease) toward the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B (as defined in the Other Leases) during the same time period, equals the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B, but in no event more than the Triennial Allocated Minimum Cap Ex Amount B Ceiling, and (b) the Triennial Allocated Minimum Cap Ex Amount B Floor (the “ Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B ”).
(v)     Partial Periods . If the initial or final portion of the Term of this Lease is a partial calendar year (i.e., the Commencement Date of this Lease is other than January 1 or the Expiration Date is other than December 31, as applicable; any such partial calendar year, a “ Stub Period ”), then the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A and Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B shall be adjusted as follows: (a) the initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period under this Lease shall be expanded so that it covers both the Stub Period and the first (1st) (or final, as applicable) full period of three calendar years during the Term, (b) the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A for such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period shall be equal to (x) Four Hundred Ninety-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($495,000,000.00), plus (y) the product of the Stub Period Multiplier (as defined below) multiplied by One Hundred Sixty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($165,000,000.00) (and (i) the Services Co Capital Expenditures allocated by Services Co to Tenant during such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period shall not exceed (x) Seventy-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00) plus (y) the product of the Stub Period Multiplier multiplied by Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00), and (ii) the Capital Expenditures in respect of the London Clubs during such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period shall not exceed (x) Twelve Million and No/100 Dollars ($12,000,000.00) plus (y) the product of the Stub Period Multiplier multiplied by Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00)), (c) the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B for such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Cap Ex Calculation Period shall be equal to (x) Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00), plus (y) the product of the Stub Period Multiplier multiplied by One Hundred Sixteen Million Six Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six and No/100 Dollars ($116,666,666.00), and (d) the Triennial Allocated Minimum Cap Ex Amount B Floor for such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period shall remain unchanged from the amounts then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (1) the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A is reduced in accordance with the definition thereof, then (A) the Four Hundred Ninety-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($495,000,000.00) in the foregoing clause (b)(x) shall be modified to reflect the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A then in effect at the time of determination and (B) the One Hundred Sixty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($165,000,000.00) in the foregoing clause (b)(y) shall be modified to reflect the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A then in effect divided by three (3), and (2) the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B is reduced in accordance with the definition thereof, then (A) the Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00) in the foregoing clause (c)(x) shall be modified to reflect the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B then in effect at the time of determination and (B) the One Hundred Sixteen Million Six Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six and No/100 Dollars ($116,666,666.00) in the foregoing clause (c)(y) shall be modified to reflect the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B then in effect divided by three (3). The term “ Stub Period Multiplier ” means a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of days occurring in a Stub Period, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Expiration Date of this Lease is other than the last day of a Fiscal Year, then Tenant’s compliance with each of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements during the applicable periods preceding such Expiration Date that would otherwise end after such Expiration Date shall be measured as of such Expiration Date and be subject to the prorations set forth above.

68







(vi)     Acquisitions of Material Property . If any real property having a value greater than Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) (other than the Chester Property or the “Leased Property (Octavius)” (as defined in the CPLV Lease)) is acquired by Landlord or its Affiliate and included in this Lease or an Other Lease as part of the Leased Property or Other Leased Property (as applicable), then (A) the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements shall be adjusted and (B) the amount of Services Co Capital Expenditures which may be credited against Capital Expenditures requirements hereunder and under the Other Leases shall be proportionately increased, in each case, as may be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant in connection with such acquisition and the inclusion of such property as Leased Property or Other Leased Property hereunder or thereunder.
(vii)     Dispositions of Material Property . In the event of a partial termination of this Lease or termination or partial termination of an Other Lease or the disposition of any Material Leased Property or Material London Property, in each case for which the Minimum Cap Ex Amounts are to be decreased in accordance herewith, and such termination or disposition occurs on any day other than the first (1st) day of a Fiscal Year, then, for purposes of determining Required Capital Expenditures and adjusting the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, as applicable, such termination or disposition and the associated reduction in the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements each shall be deemed to have occurred on the first (1st) day of the then-current Fiscal Year, such that Capital Expenditures with respect to the applicable terminated or disposed property shall not be counted toward the calculation of Required Capital Expenditures for such entire Fiscal Year, and the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements shall be adjusted (as applicable) to reflect such termination or disposition as applicable and the associated reduction in the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for such entire Fiscal Year.
(viii)     Application of Capital Expenditures . For the avoidance of doubt: (A) Required Capital Expenditures counted toward satisfying one of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements also shall count (to the extent applicable) toward satisfying the other Minimum Cap Ex Requirements except to the extent otherwise provided herein; (B) expenditures with respect to any property that is not included as Leased Property or Other Leased Property under this Lease or an Other Lease (as applicable) shall not constitute “Capital Expenditures” nor count toward the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for purposes of the Leased Property Tests; (C) expenditures with respect to any property acquired by CEOC or its subsidiaries after the Commencement Date which is not included as Leased Property or Other Leased Property under this Lease or an Other Lease (as applicable) shall not constitute “Capital Expenditures” nor count toward the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for purposes of the Leased Property Tests or the All Property Tests, and (D) expenditures with respect to any property (other than the London Clubs) which is not included as Leased Property or Other Leased Property under this Lease or an Other Lease (as applicable) shall not constitute “Capital Expenditures” or count towards the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for purposes of the All Property Tests.
(ix)     Unavoidable Delays . In the event an Unavoidable Delay occurs during any full Fiscal Year or full Triennial Period during the Term that delays Tenant’s ability to perform Capital Expenditures prior to the expiration of such period, the applicable period for satisfying the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements applicable to such Fiscal Year or Triennial Period (as applicable) during which such Unavoidable Delay occurred shall be extended, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay affects Tenant’s ability to perform the Capital Expenditures, up to a maximum extension in each instance of one (1) Fiscal Year (for the Annual Minimum Cap Ex Requirement and the Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement) or one (1) Triennial Period (for the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement A and the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B). For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s obligation to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements during any period during which an Unavoidable Delay did not occur shall not be extended as a result of the occurrence of an Unavoidable Delay during a prior period.
(x)     Certain Remedies . The Parties acknowledge that Tenant’s agreement to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements as required in this Lease is a material inducement to Landlord’s agreement to enter into this Lease, the MLSA and the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements and, accordingly, if Tenant fails to expend Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve) as and when required by this Lease and then, further, fails to cure such failure within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice of such failure from Landlord, then the same shall be a Tenant Event of Default hereunder, and without limitation of

69







any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies, Landlord shall have the right to seek the remedy of specific performance to require Tenant to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve). Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation of Guarantor’s obligations under the MLSA (and as more particularly provided therein), Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of Tenant to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve) as provided in this Lease in each case constitutes a part of the monetary obligations of Tenant that are guaranteed by the Guarantor under the MLSA and, with respect to Required Capital Expenditures required to be spent during the Term, shall survive termination of this Lease.
(b)     Cap Ex Reserve .
(i)     Deposits in Lieu of Expenditures . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if Tenant and Other Tenants do not expend Capital Expenditures and Other Capital Expenditures sufficient to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, then, so long as, as of the last date when such Minimum Cap Ex Requirements may be satisfied hereunder, there are Cap Ex Reserve Funds (as defined below) and Cap Ex Reserve Funds (as defined in each Other Lease) on deposit in the Cap Ex Reserve (as defined below) or in the Cap Ex Reserve (as defined in each Other Lease) in an aggregate amount at least equal to such deficiency, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in breach or default of its obligations hereunder to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, provided that Tenant (or Other Tenants, as applicable), shall spend such amounts so deposited in the Cap Ex Reserve (as defined herein or in an Other Lease, as applicable) within six (6) months after the last date when the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements to which such amounts relate may be satisfied hereunder (subject to extension in the event of an Unavoidable Delay during such six (6) month period, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay affects Tenant’s ability to perform the Capital Expenditures). For the avoidance of doubt, any funds disbursed from the Cap Ex Reserve and spent on Capital Expenditures as described in this Section shall be applied to the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for the period for which such funds were deposited (and shall be deemed to be the funds that have been in the Cap Ex Reserve for the longest period of time) and shall not be applied to the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for the subsequent period in which they are actually spent.
(ii)     Deposits into Cap Ex Reserve . Tenant may, at its election, at any time, deposit funds (the “ Cap Ex Reserve Funds ”) into an Eligible Account held by Tenant (the “ Cap Ex Reserve ”). If required by Fee Mortgagee or Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall (and, if applicable, Tenant shall cause Manager to) enter into a customary and reasonable control agreement for the benefit of Fee Mortgagee and Landlord with respect to the Cap Ex Reserve. Tenant shall not commingle Cap Ex Reserve Funds with other monies held by Tenant or any other party. All interest on Cap Ex Reserve Funds shall be for the benefit of Tenant and added to and become a part of the Cap Ex Reserve and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in the Cap Ex Reserve. Tenant shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Cap Ex Reserve Funds credited or paid to Tenant.
(iii)     Disbursements from Cap Ex Reserve . Tenant shall be entitled to use Cap Ex Reserve Funds solely for the purpose of paying for (or reimbursing Tenant for) the cost of Capital Expenditures. Subject to compliance by Tenant with the provisions of the Fee Mortgage Documents to the extent Tenant is required to comply therewith pursuant to Article XXXI hereof, Landlord shall permit disbursements to Tenant of Cap Ex Reserve Funds from the Cap Ex Reserve to pay for Capital Expenditures or to reimburse Tenant for Capital Expenditures, within ten (10) days following written request from Tenant, which request shall specify the amount of the requested disbursement and a general description of the type of Capital Expenditures to be paid or reimbursed using such Cap Ex Reserve Funds. Tenant shall not make a request for disbursement from the Cap Ex Reserve (x) more frequently than once in any calendar month nor (y) in amounts less than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). Any Cap Ex Reserve Funds remaining in the Cap Ex Reserve on satisfaction of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for which such Cap Ex Reserve Funds were deposited or on the Expiration Date shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant, provided that Landlord shall have the right to apply Cap Ex Reserve Funds remaining on the Expiration Date against any amounts owed by Tenant to

70







Landlord as of the Expiration Date and/or the sum of any remaining Required Capital Expenditures required to have been incurred prior to the Expiration Date.
(iv)     Security Interest in Cap Ex Reserve Funds . Tenant grants to Landlord a first-priority security interest in the Cap Ex Reserve and all Cap Ex Reserve Funds, as additional security for performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to collaterally assign the security interest granted to Landlord in the Cap Ex Reserve and Cap Ex Reserve Funds to any Fee Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, (i) Landlord may not foreclose upon the lien on the Cap Ex Reserve and Cap Ex Reserve Funds, and Fee Mortgagee may not apply the Cap Ex Reserve Funds against the Fee Mortgage, in each case prior to the occurrence of both (x) the Landlord’s Enforcement Condition and (y) the termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to Section 16.2(x) hereof, (ii) any time during which a Tenant Event of Default is continuing, Fee Mortgagee may apply Cap Ex Reserve Funds toward the payment of Capital Expenditures incurred by Tenant and (iii) Landlord shall have the right to use Cap Ex Reserve Funds as provided in Section 10.5(e) (in which event, such expenditures of Cap Ex Reserve Funds shall be deemed Capital Expenditures of Tenant for purposes of the Required Capital Expenditures). Landlord acknowledges that a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee may have a Lien on the Cap Ex Reserve; provided no such Lien in favor of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall be granted unless such Lien is subject and subordinate to the first priority lien thereon in favor of Landlord on terms substantially similar to the Intercreditor Agreement.
(c)     Capital Expenditures Report . Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a report, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C  setting forth, with respect to such month, on an unaudited, Facility-by-Facility basis, (A) revenues for the Leased Property and the Other Leased Property, (B) Capital Expenditures with respect to the Leased Property, (C) Other Capital Expenditures with respect to the Other Leased Property, and (D) aggregate Services Co Capital Expenditures on a year-to-date basis and the portion thereof allocated to Tenant and its subsidiaries (and a description of the methodology by which such allocation was made). Landlord shall keep each such report confidential in accordance with Section 41.22 of this Lease.
(d)     Annual Capital Budget . Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, for informational purposes only, a copy of the annual capital budget for each Facility for each Fiscal Year, in each case (x) contemporaneously with Other Tenant’s delivery to the applicable landlord of the applicable annual capital budget for such Fiscal Year pursuant to the Other Lease, and (y) not later than fifty-five (55) days following the commencement of the Fiscal Year to which such annual capital budget relates. For the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of Tenant’s Capital Expenditure requirements pursuant to Section 10.5(a) , Tenant shall not be required to comply with such annual capital budget and it shall not be a breach or default by Tenant hereunder in the event Tenant deviates from such annual capital budget.
(e)     Self Help . In order to facilitate Landlord’s completion of any work, repairs or restoration of any nature that are required to be performed by Tenant in accordance with any provisions hereof, upon the occurrence of the earlier of (i) an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder, and (ii) any default by Tenant in the performance of such work under this Lease or as required by any applicable Additional Fee Mortgage Requirement, then, so long as (x) Landlord has provided Tenant thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and Tenant has not cured such default within such thirty day period) and (y) an “Event of Default” has occurred under the Fee Mortgage Documents, Landlord shall have the right, from and after the occurrence of a default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under any applicable Fee Mortgage Documents, to enter onto the Leased Property and perform any and all such work and labor necessary as reasonably determined by Landlord to complete any work required by Tenant hereunder or expend any sums therefor and/or employ watchmen to protect the Leased Property from damage (collectively, the “ Landlord Work ”). In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right: (i) to use any funds in the Cap Ex Reserve for the purpose of making or completing such Landlord Work; (ii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iii) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Leased Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Landlord Work, or for clearance of title; (iv) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Tenant which may be required by any of the contract documents; (v) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Leased Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Leased Property; and (vi) to do any and every act which

71







Tenant might do in its own behalf to complete the Landlord Work. Nothing in this Lease shall: (1) make Landlord responsible for making or completing any Landlord Work; (2) require Landlord to expend funds in addition to the Cap Ex Reserve to make or complete any Landlord Work; (3) obligate Landlord to proceed with any Landlord Work; or (4) obligate Landlord to demand from Tenant additional sums to make or complete any Landlord Work.

(ii) the matters that existed as of the Commencement Date with respect to the Original Leased Property or any portion thereof and the matters that existed as of the Amendment Date with respect to the Chester Property (it being understood that nothing in this clause (ii) shall be deemed to vitiate or supersede Tenant’s obligations under Sections 4.2 , 7.2(f) , 9.1 and 10.3(e) with respect to the Property Documents to the extent provided herein or Tenant’s obligations with respect to the Chester Property Payment Agreements under Sections 4.1 and 7.2 );

(vii) liens of mechanics, laborers, materialmen, suppliers or vendors for sums either disputed or not yet due, provided that (1) the payment of such sums shall not be postponed under any related contract for more than sixty (60) days after the completion of the action giving rise to such lien unless being contested in accordance with Article XII and such reserve or other appropriate provisions as shall be required by law or GAAP shall have been made therefor and no foreclosure or similar remedies with respect to such liens has been instituted and no notice as to the institution or commencement thereof have been issued except to the extent such institution or commencement is stayed no later than twenty (20) days after such notice is issued;

(x) (1) liens granted as security for the obligations of Tenant and its Affiliates under a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (and the documents relating thereto) or (2) liens granted as security for the obligations of Subtenant under a financing arrangement that would be a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (disregarding for this purpose, however, the requirement that the liens created by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage encumber the entirety of Tenant’s Leasehold Estate, so long as the applicable subleasehold mortgage covers all of the applicable Subtenant’s subleasehold estate (other than items that are not capable of being mortgaged and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis)) if entered into by Tenant (and the documents relating thereto); provided , however , in no event shall the foregoing be deemed or construed to permit Tenant to encumber the Leasehold Estate (or a Subtenant to encumber its subleasehold interest) in the Leased Property or any portion thereof (other than, in the case of Tenant, to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, or in the case of Subtenant, to a lender or other provider of financing under a financing arrangement that would be a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (disregarding for this purpose, however, the requirement that the liens created by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage encumber the entirety of Tenant’s Leasehold Estate, so long as the applicable subleasehold mortgage covers all of the applicable Subtenant’s subleasehold estate (other than items that are not capable

72







of being mortgaged and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis)) if entered into by Tenant (provided that no such lien granted by a Subtenant to a lender or other provider of financing shall encumber Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Property, including by operation of law or otherwise), or otherwise to the extent expressly permitted hereunder), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; and provided further that upon request Tenant shall be required to provide Landlord with fully executed copies of any and all Permitted Leasehold Mortgages; and (xi) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, easements, rights-of-way, restrictions (including zoning restrictions), covenants, encroachments, protrusions and other similar charges or encumbrances, and minor title deficiencies on or with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof, in each case whether now or hereafter in existence, not individually or in the aggregate materially interfering with the conduct of the business on the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use, taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Tenant has not granted any liens in favor of Landlord as security for its obligations hereunder except as otherwise expressly provided under this Lease, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to prohibit the issuance of a lien on the Equity Interests in Tenant (it being agreed that any foreclosure by a lien holder on such interests in Tenant shall be subject to the restrictions on transfers of interests in Tenant and Change of Control set forth in Article XXII ) or to prohibit Tenant from pledging (A) its Accounts and other Tenant’s Property as collateral (1) in connection with financings of equipment and other purchase money indebtedness or (2) to secure Permitted Leasehold Mortgages, or (B) its Accounts and other property of Tenant (other than Tenant’s Property); provided that, Tenant shall in no event pledge to any Person that is not granted a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage hereunder any of Tenant’s Property to the extent that such Tenant’s Property cannot be removed from the Leased Property without (I) damaging or impairing the Leased Property (other than in a de minimis manner), (II) impairing in any material respect the operation of the Facility for its Primary Intended Use, or (III) impairing in any material respect Landlord’s or any Successor Tenant’s ability to acquire the Gaming Assets at the expiration or termination of the Term in accordance with Section 36.1 (after giving effect to the repayment of any indebtedness encumbering the Gaming Assets and release of any liens thereon as required by such Section 36.1 ).

ARTICLE XIII

INSURANCE
13.1     General Insurance Requirements . During the Term, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, maintain the minimum kinds and amounts of insurance described below. Such insurance shall apply to the ownership, maintenance, use and operations related to the Leased Property and all property located in or on the Leased Property (including Capital Improvements and Tenant’s Property). Except for policies insured by Tenant’s captive insurers, all policies shall be written with insurers authorized to do business in all states where Tenant operates and shall maintain A.M Best ratings of not less than “A-” “X” or better in the most recent version of Best’s Key Rating Guide. In the event that any of the insurance companies’ ratings fall below the requirements set forth above, Tenant shall have one hundred eighty (180) days within which to replace such insurance company with an insurance company that qualifies under the requirements set forth above. It is understood that Tenant may utilize so called Surplus lines companies and will adhere to the standard above.
(a)     Property Insurance .
(i)     Property insurance shall be maintained on the Leased Property (including barges and vessels used for gaming), Capital Improvements and Tenant’s Property against loss or damage under a policy with coverage not less than that found on Insurance Services Office (ISO) “Causes of Loss – Special Form” and ISO “Building and Personal Property Form” or their equivalent forms (e.g., an “all risk” policy), in a manner consistent with the commercially reasonable practices of similarly situated companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations. Such property insurance policy shall be in an amount not less than the greater of (a) Two Billion and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000,000.00) and (b) the full replacement cost of the Facility having the highest Fair Market Ownership Value at any given time; provided, that Tenant shall have the right (i) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by earthquake (including earth movement) to a minimum amount of the projected ground up loss with a 500-year return period (as determined annually by an independent firm using RMS catastrophe modeling software or equivalent, and taking into account all locations insured under this property insurance, including other locations owned, leased or managed by Tenant), and (ii) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by named windstorms per occurrence to a minimum amount of the projected ground up loss (including storm surge) with a 500-year return period (as determined annually by an independent firm using RMS catastrophe software or equivalent, and taking into account all locations insured under this property insurance, including other locations owned, leased or managed by Tenant); (iii) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by flood to a minimum amount of Two Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($250,000,000.00), to the extent commercially available; provided, further, that in the event the premium cost of any earthquake, flood, named windstorm or terrorism peril (as required by Section 13.1(b) ) coverages are available only for a premium that is more than two and one-half (2.5) times the premium paid by Tenant for the third (3rd) year preceding the date of determination for the insurance policy contemplated by this Section 13.1(a) , then Tenant shall be entitled and required to purchase the maximum amount of insurance coverage it reasonably deems most efficient and prudent to purchase for such peril and Tenant shall not be required to spend additional funds to purchase additional coverages insuring against such risks; and provided, further, that certain property coverages other than earthquake, flood and named windstorm may be sub-limited as long as each sub-limit is commercially reasonable and prudent as determined by Tenant and to the extent that the amount of such sub-limit is less than the amount of such sub-limit in effect as of the Commencement Date, such sub-limit is approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
(ii)     Such property insurance policy shall include, subject to Section 13.1(a)(i) above: (i) agreed amount coverage and/or a waiver of any co-insurance; (ii) building ordinance coverage (ordinance or law) including loss of the undamaged portions, the cost of demolishing undamaged portions, and the

74







increased cost of rebuilding; and also including, but not limited to, any non-conforming structures or uses; (iii) equipment breakdown coverage (boiler and machinery coverage); (iv) debris removal; and (v) business interruption coverage in an amount not less than two (2) years of Rent and containing an Extended Period of Indemnity endorsement for an additional minimum six months period. Subject to Section 13.1(a)(i) , the property policy shall cover: wind/windstorm, earthquake/earth movement and flood and any sub-limits applicable to wind (e.g. named storms), earthquake and flood are subject to the approval of Landlord and Fee Mortgagee. Such policy shall (i) name Landlord as an additional insured and “loss payee” for its interests in the Leased Property and Rent; (ii) name each Fee Mortgagee and Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as an additional insured, and (iii) include a New York standard mortgagee clause in favor of each Fee Mortgagee and Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any property insurance loss adjustment settlement associated with the Leased Property shall require the written consent of Landlord, Tenant, and each Fee Mortgagee (to the extent required under the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents) unless the amount of the loss net of the applicable deductible is less than One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) in which event no consent shall be required.
(b)     Property Terrorism Insurance . Property Insurance shall be maintained for acts of terrorism covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA) and acts of terrorism and sabotage not certified by TRIPRA, with limits no less than One Billion Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000,000.00) per occurrence for acts of terrorism covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA) and Two Hundred Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($225,000,000.00) for acts of terrorism and sabotage not certified by TRIPRA. Both coverages shall apply to property damage and business interruption. The provisions relating to loss payees, additional insureds and mortgagee clauses set forth in Section 13.1(a) above shall also apply to the coverages required by this Section 13.1(b) . If Tenant uses one or more of its captive insurers to provide this insurance coverage, the captive(s) must secure and maintain reinsurance from one or more reinsurers for those amounts which are not insured by the Federal Government, and which are in excess of a commercially reasonable policy deductible. Such reinsurers are subject to the same minimum financial ratings set forth in Section 13.1 . In the event TRIPRA is not extended or renewed, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.6 ) upon replacement insurance requirements applicable to terrorism related risks.
(c)     Flood Insurance . With respect to any portion of the Leased Property that is security under a Fee Mortgage, if at any time the area in which such Leased Property is located is designated a “Special Flood Hazard Area” as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), Tenant shall obtain separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. Such flood insurance may be provided as part of Section 13.1(a) Property Insurance above.
(d)     Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance. Workers compensation insurance as required by applicable state statutes and Employers Liability. This insurance shall include endorsements applicable to (i) Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act; and (ii) Maritime Coverage (including transportation, wages, maintenance and cure, if not otherwise covered by Section 13.1(g) Marine Liability Insurance).
(e)     Commercial General Liability Insurance . For bodily injury, personal injury, advertising injury and property damage on an occurrence form with coverage no less than ISO Form CG 0001 or equivalent. This policy shall include the following coverages: (i) Liquor Liability; (ii) Named Peril/Time Element Pollution, to the extent commercially available to operators of properties similar to the subject Leased Property; (iii) Watercraft Liability, to the extent commercially available to operators of properties similar to the subject Leased Property; (iv) Terrorism Liability; and (v) a Separation of Insureds Clause.
(f)     Business Auto Liability Insurance . For bodily injury and property damage arising from the ownership, maintenance or use of owned, hired and non-owned vehicles (ISO Form CA 00 01 or equivalent).
(g)     Marine Liability Insurance . For bodily injury and property damage (Protection and Indemnity) on an occurrence form. If not covered by the other insurance policies required by this Article XIII , this policy shall include the following coverages: (i) Liquor Liability; (ii) Pollution Liability; and (iii) injuries to captains

75







and crew. To the extent commercially available at a reasonable price, this policy shall contain a Separation of Insureds clause. This coverage may be met through the combination of primary marine liability and excess liability coverage
(h)     Excess Liability Insurance. Excess Liability coverage shall be maintained over the required Employers Liability, Commercial General Liability, Business Auto Liability and Marine Liability policies in an amount not less than Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate annually (where applicable). The annual aggregate limit applicable to Commercial General Liability shall apply per location. Tenant will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain coverage as broad as the underlying insurance, including Terrorism Liability coverage, so long as such coverage is available at a commercially reasonable price.
(i)     Pollution Liability Insurance. For claims arising from the discharge, dispersal release or escape or any irritant or contaminant into or upon land, any structure, the atmosphere, watercourse or body of water, including groundwater. This shall include on and off-site clean up and emergency response costs and claims arising from above ground and below ground storage tanks. If this policy is provided on a “claims made” basis (i) the retroactive date shall remain as June 26, 1998 for legal liability; and (ii) coverage shall be maintained for two (2) years after the Term.
13.2     Name of Insureds . Except for the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(d) , all insurance provided by Tenant as required by this Article XIII shall include Landlord (including specified Landlord related entities as directed by Landlord) as a loss payee (solely with respect to the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(a) , Section 13.1(b) and Section 13.1(c) ), named insured or additional insured without restrictions beyond the restrictions that apply to Tenant and may include any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as an additional insured; provided, however, the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(i) and Section 13.1(g) shall be permitted to include Landlord (including specified Landlord related entities as directed by Landlord) as an additional insured without the requirement that such policy expressly include language that such coverage is without restrictions beyond the restrictions that apply to Tenant. The coverage provided to the additional insureds by Tenant’s insurance policies must be at least as broad as that provided to the first named insured on each respective policy. For avoidance of doubt, Landlord looks exclusively to Tenant’s insurance policies to protect itself from claims arising from the Leased Property and Capital Improvements. The required insurance policies shall protect Landlord against Landlord’s acts with respect to the Leased Property in the same manner that they protect Tenant against its acts with respect to the Leased Property. Except for the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(d) with respect to Workers Compensation and Employers Liability, the required insurance policies shall be endorsed to include others as additional insureds as required by Landlord and/or the Fee Mortgage Documents and/or Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee. The insurance protection afforded to all insureds (whether named insureds or additional insureds) shall be primary and shall not contribute with any insurance or self-insurance programs maintained by such insureds (including deductibles and self-insured retentions).
13.3     Deductibles or Self-Insured Retentions . Tenant may self-insure such risks that are customarily self-insured by companies of established reputation engaged in the same general line of business in the same general area. All increases in deductibles and self-insured retentions (collectively referred to as “Deductibles” in this Article XIII ) that apply to the insurance policies required by this Article XIII are subject to approval by Landlord, with such approval not to be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant is solely responsible for all Deductibles related to its insurance policies. The Deductibles Tenant has in effect as of the Commencement Date satisfy the requirements of this Section as of the Commencement Date.
13.4     Waivers of Subrogation . Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Article XIII and policies issued by Tenant’s captive insurers (including related Deductibles), it being understood that (i) Tenant shall look solely to its insurance for the recovery of such loss or damage; and (ii) such insurers shall have no rights of subrogation against Landlord. Each insurance policy shall contain a clause or endorsement which waives all rights of subrogation against Landlord, Fee Mortgagees and other entities or individuals as reasonably requested by Landlord.
13.5     Limits of Liability and Blanket Policies . The insured limits of liability maintained by Tenant shall be selected by Tenant in a manner consistent with the commercially reasonable practices of similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations as the applicable Leased Property.

76







The limits of liability Tenant has in effect as of the Commencement Date satisfy the requirements of this Section as of the Commencement Date. The insurance required by this Article XIII may be effected by a policy or policies of blanket insurance and/or by a combination of primary and excess insurance policies (all of which may insure additional properties owned, operated or managed by Tenant or its Affiliates), provided each policy shall be satisfactory to Landlord, acting reasonably, including, the form of the policy, provided such policies comply with the provisions of this Article XIII .
13.6     Future Changes in Insurance Requirements .
(a)     In the event one or more additional locations become Leased Property or Capital Improvements during the Term, whether through acquisition, lease, new construction or other means, Landlord may reasonably amend the insurance requirements set forth in this Article XIII to properly address new risks or exposures to loss, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13.6(a) . For example, for construction projects, different forms of insurance may be required, such as builders risk, and Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon insurance requirements applicable to the construction contractors. Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith to exchange information (including proposed construction agreements) and ascertain appropriate insurance requirements prior to Tenant being required to amend its insurance under this Section 13.6(a) ; provided , however , that any revision to insurance shall only be required if the revised insurance would be customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations as the applicable Leased Property. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days of the original notice of requested revision, the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 34.2 shall control.
(b)     In the event that (1) the operations of Tenant change in the future, and Tenant believes adjustments in Deductibles, insured limits or coverages are warranted, (2) Tenant desires to increase one or more Deductibles, reduce limits of liability below those in place as of the Commencement Date or materially reduce coverage, or (3) not more than once during any twelve (12) month period (or more frequently in connection with a financing or refinancing of a Fee Mortgage), Landlord reasonably determines that the insurance carried by Tenant is not, for any reason (whether by reason of the type, coverage, deductibles, insured limits, the reasonable requirements of Fee Mortgagees, or otherwise) commensurate with insurance customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, the party seeking the change will advise the other party in writing of the requested insurance revision. Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith to determine whether the requested insurance revision shall be made; provided , however , that any revision to insurance shall only be made if the revised insurance would be customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations as the applicable Leased Property. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days of the original notice of requested revision, the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 34.2 shall control. Solely with respect to the insurance required by Section 13.1(h) above, in no event shall the outcome of an insurance revision pursuant to this Section 13.6 require Tenant to carry insurance in an amount which exceeds the product of (i) the amounts set forth in Section 13.1(h) hereof and (ii) the CPI Increase.
13.7     Notice of Cancellation or Non-Renewal . Each required insurance policy shall contain an endorsement requiring thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, Fee Mortgagees and Leasehold Mortgagees of any cancellation or non-renewal. Ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be required for cancellation for non-payment of premium. Tenant shall secure replacement coverage to comply with the stated insurance requirements and provide new certificates of insurance to Landlord and others as directed by Landlord.
13.8     Copies of Documents . Tenant shall provide (i) binders evidencing renewal coverages no later than the applicable renewal date of each insurance policy required by this Article XIII ; and (ii) copies of all insurance policies required by this Article XIII (including policies issued by Tenant’s captive insurers which are in any way related to the required policies, including policies insuring Deductibles), within one hundred and twenty days (120) after inception date of each, and if additionally required, within ten (10) days of written request by Landlord. In addition, Tenant will supply documents that are related to the required insurance policies on January 1 of each calendar year during the Term and three (3) years afterwards, and as otherwise requested in writing by Landlord. Such documents shall be in formats reasonably acceptable to Landlord and include, but are not limited to, (i) statements of property value by location, (ii) risk modeling reports (e.g., named storms and earthquake), (iii) actuarial reports, (iv) loss/claims reports, (v) detailed

77







summaries of Tenant’s insurance policies and, as respects Tenant’s captive insurers the most recent audited financial statements (including notes therein) and reinsurance agreements. Landlord shall hold the contents of the documents provided by Tenant as confidential; provided that Landlord shall be entitled to disclose the contents of such documents to its insurance consultants, attorneys, accountants and other agents in connection with the administration and/or enforcement of this Lease, and (ii) to any Fee Mortgagees, Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees and potential lenders and their respective representatives, and (iii) as may be required by applicable laws. Landlord shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such person or entity to enter into a written agreement to maintain the confidentiality thereof for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant.
13.9     Certificates of Insurance . Certificates of insurance, evidencing the required insurance, shall be delivered to Landlord on the Commencement Date, annually thereafter, and upon written request by Landlord. If required by any Fee Mortgagee, Tenant shall provide endorsements and written confirmations that all premiums have been paid in full.
13.10     Other Requirements . Tenant shall comply with the following additional provisions:
(a)     In the event of a catastrophic loss or multiple losses at multiple properties owned or leased directly or indirectly by CEC and that are insured by CEC, then in the case (x) that at least one such property affected by the catastrophic loss(es) or multiple losses is a Facility or an Other Facility (in either case, a “ Subject Facility ”) and (y) at least one other such property affected by the catastrophic loss(es) or multiple losses is not a Subject Facility, if (A) such catastrophic loss or multiple losses exhaust any per occurrence or aggregate insurance limits under the property or terrorism insurance policies required by this Article XIII and any such property that is not a Subject Facility is (w) directly or indirectly managed but not directly or indirectly owned by CEC, (x) not wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by CEC, (y) subject to a ground lease with a landlord party that is neither Landlord nor its affiliates, or (z) is financed on a stand-alone basis, then the insurance proceeds received in connection with such catastrophic loss or multiple losses shall be allocated pro-rata based on the insured values of the impacted properties, with no property receiving an allocation exceeding the loss suffered by such property, and (B) if such catastrophic loss or multiple losses exhaust any per occurrence or aggregate insurance limits under the property or terrorism insurance policies required by this Article XIII and no property that is not a Subject Facility is a property described in clauses (w) through (z) above, the property(ies) that is a Subject Facility shall have first priority to insurance proceeds from the property policy or terrorism policy in connection with such catastrophic loss or multiple losses up to the reasonably anticipated amount of loss with respect to the Subject Facility. Any property or terrorism insurance proceeds allocable to a Subject Facility pursuant to clause (B) above shall be paid to Landlord (or the landlord under the Other Lease, as applicable) and applied in accordance with the terms of this Lease (or the Other Lease, as applicable).
(b)     In the event Tenant shall at any time fail, neglect or refuse to insure the Leased Property (including barges and vessels used for gaming) and Capital Improvements, or is not in full compliance with its obligations under this Article XIII , Landlord may, at its election, procure replacement insurance. In such event, Landlord shall disclose to Tenant the terms of the replacement insurance. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such replacement insurance within thirty (30) days after Landlord pays for the replacement insurance. The cost of such replacement insurance shall be reasonable considering the then-current market.
ARTICLE XIV

CASUALTY
14.1     Property Insurance Proceeds . All proceeds (except business interruption not allocated to rent expenses, if any) payable by reason of any property loss or damage to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, under any property policy of insurance required to be carried hereunder shall be paid to Fee Mortgagee or to an escrow account held by a third party depositary reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and, if applicable, the Fee Mortgagee (in each case pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably acceptable to the Parties and the Fee Mortgagee and intended to implement the terms hereof, and made available to Tenant upon request for the reasonable costs of preservation, stabilization, restoration, reconstruction and repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof; provided, however, that the portion of any such proceeds that are attributable to Tenant’s

78







obligation to pay Rent shall be applied against Rent due by Tenant hereunder; and provided, further, that if the total amount of proceeds payable net of the applicable deductibles is Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) or less per Facility, and, if no Tenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the proceeds shall be paid to Tenant and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XIV used for the repair of any damage to or restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property in accordance with Section 14.2 . For the avoidance of doubt, any insurance proceeds payable by reason of (i) loss or damage to Tenant’s Property and/or Tenant Material Capital Improvements, or (ii) business interruption shall be paid directly to and belong to Tenant. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property in accordance herewith shall be provided to Tenant. So long as no Tenant Event of Default is continuing, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute and settle insurance claims, provided that, in connection with insurance claims exceeding Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) per Facility, Tenant shall consult with and involve Landlord in the process of adjusting any insurance claims under this Article XIV and any final settlement with the insurance company for claims exceeding Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) per Facility shall be subject to Landlord’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that solely for purposes of this Article XIV and Article XV , notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Tenant Material Capital Improvements relating to the Southern Indiana Redevelopment Project shall be deemed to be Material Capital Improvements financed by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof.
14.2     Tenant’s Obligations Following Casualty .
(a)     In the event of a Casualty Event with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof (to the extent the proceeds of insurance in respect thereof are made available to Tenant as and to the extent required under the applicable escrow agreement), (i) Tenant shall restore such Leased Property (or any applicable portion thereof, excluding, at Tenant’s election, any Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless such Tenant Material Capital Improvement is integrated into the Facility such that the Facility could not practically or safely be operated without restoring such Tenant Material Capital Improvement, provided that with respect to such Tenant Material Capital Improvement that Tenant is not required to rebuild or restore, Tenant shall repair and thereafter maintain the portions of the Leased Property affected by the loss or damage of such Tenant Material Capital Improvement in a condition commensurate with the quality, appearance and use of the balance of the Facility and satisfying the Facility’s parking requirements) to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before such damage or otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (except, however, with respect to the Facility known as Caesars Atlantic City, Tenant shall be required to restore such Facility (or applicable portion thereof) only to the extent necessary to generate at least the amount of EBITDA from such Facility following such restoration as was generated from such Facility prior to such Casualty Event), and (ii) the damage caused by the applicable Casualty Event shall not terminate this Lease; provided , however , that if the applicable Casualty Event shall occur not more than two (2) years prior to the then-Stated Expiration Date and the cost to restore the Leased Property (excluding for avoidance of doubt any affected Tenant Material Capital Improvements that Tenant is not required to restore) to the condition immediately preceding the Casualty Event, as determined by a mutually approved contractor or architect, would equal or exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Fair Market Ownership Value of such Facility immediately prior to the time of such damage or destruction, then each of Landlord and Tenant shall have the option, exercisable in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Lease solely with respect to the applicable Facility, upon written notice to the other Party hereto delivered to such other Party within thirty (30) days of the determination of the amount of damage and the Fair Market Ownership Value of the applicable Facility and, if such option is exercised by either Landlord or Tenant, this Lease shall terminate solely with respect to the applicable Facility (and, commencing upon the date of such termination, Rent hereunder shall be reduced by the Rent Reduction Amount), Tenant shall not be required to restore the applicable Facility and any insurance proceeds payable as a result of the damage or destruction shall be payable in accordance with Section 14.2(c) . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Casualty Event occurs (and/or if the determination of the amount of damage and/or the thirty (30) day period referred to in the preceding sentence is continuing) at a time when Tenant could send a Renewal Notice (provided, for this purpose, Tenant shall be permitted to send a Renewal Notice under Section 1.4 not more than twenty-four (24) months (rather than not more than eighteen (18) months) prior to the then current Stated Expiration Date), if Tenant has elected or elects to exercise the same at any time following Tenant’s receipt of such notice of termination from Landlord, neither Landlord nor Tenant may terminate this Lease under this Section 14.2(a) .

79







(b)     If the cost to restore the affected Leased Property exceeds the amount of proceeds received from the insurance required to be carried hereunder , then Tenant’s restoration obligations, to the extent required hereunder, shall continue unimpaired, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord that Tenant has (or is reasonably expected to have) available to it any excess amounts needed to restore the Leased Property to the condition required hereunder. Such excess amounts shall be paid by Tenant.
(c)     In the event neither Landlord nor Tenant is required or elects to repair and restore the Leased Property, all insurance proceeds (except business interruption), other than proceeds reasonably attributed to any Tenant Material Capital Improvements (or other property owned by Tenant), which proceeds shall be and remain the property of Tenant, shall be paid to and retained by Landlord (after reimbursement to Tenant for any reasonably-incurred expenses in connection with the subject Casualty Event) free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant except as otherwise specifically provided below in this Article XIV .
(d)     If Tenant fails to complete the restoration of the Facility and gaming operations do not recommence substantially in the same manner as prior to the applicable Casualty Event by the date that is the fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of any Casualty Event (subject to extension in the event of an Unavoidable Delay during such four (4) year period, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay delays Tenant’s ability to perform such restoration in accordance with this Section 14.2 ), then, without limiting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies otherwise, all remaining insurance proceeds shall be paid to and retained by Landlord free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant, provided , that , so long as no Tenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord agrees to use such remaining proceeds for repair and restoration with respect to such Casualty Event.
(e)     If, and solely to the extent that, the damage resulting from any applicable Casualty Event is not an insured event under the insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant shall not be obligated to restore the Leased Property in respect of the damage from such Casualty Event.
14.3     No Abatement of Rent . Except as expressly provided in this Article XIV , this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and all Additional Charges required by this Lease shall remain unabated during any period following a Casualty Event.
14.4     Waiver . Tenant waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property but such waiver shall not affect any contractual rights granted to Tenant under this Lease.
14.5     Insurance Proceeds and Fee Mortgagee . Notwithstanding anything herein (including, without limitation, Article XXXI hereof) or in any Fee Mortgage Documents to the contrary, Landlord shall require that any Fee Mortgage Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to the Existing Fee Mortgage) shall permit Tenant to rebuild in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease (and any such Fee Mortgage Documents shall expressly provide that Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, is entitled to the applicable insurance proceeds in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease).
ARTICLE XV

EMINENT DOMAIN
15.1     Condemnation . Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of the actual or threatened Condemnation or any Condemnation proceeding affecting the Leased Property of which Tenant has knowledge and shall deliver to Landlord copies of any and all papers served in connection with the same.
(a)     Total Taking . If a Facility is subject to a total and permanent Taking, this Lease shall automatically terminate with respect to such Facility as of the day before the date of such Taking or Condemnation. In such event, commencing upon the date of such termination, Rent hereunder shall be reduced by the Rent Reduction Amount.

80







(b)     Partial Taking . If a portion (but not all) of a Facility (and, without limitation, any Capital Improvements with respect thereto) is subject to a permanent Taking (“ Partial Taking ”), this Lease shall remain in effect so long as the applicable Facility is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, and Rent shall be adjusted in accordance with the Rent Reduction Amount with respect to the subject portion of the applicable Facility; provided , however , that if the remaining portion of the applicable Facility is rendered Unsuitable for Its Primary Intended Use, this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Facility as of the day before the date of such Taking or Condemnation and, in such event, commencing upon the date of such termination, Rent hereunder shall be reduced by the Rent Reduction Amount with respect to the entirety of the subject Facility.
(c)     Restoration .

In such event, subject to receiving such Award, Tenant shall accomplish all necessary restoration in accordance with the following sentence (whether or not the amount of the Award received by Tenant is sufficient) and the Rent shall be adjusted in accordance with the Rent Reduction Amount. Tenant shall restore the Leased Property (excluding any Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless such Tenant Material Capital Improvement is integrated into the subject Facility such that such Facility could not practically or safely be operated without restoring such Tenant Material Capital Improvement) as nearly as reasonably possible under the circumstances to a complete architectural unit of the same general character and condition as the Leased Property existing immediately prior to such Taking; except, however, with respect to the Facility known as Caesars Atlantic City, Tenant shall be required to restore such Facility (or applicable portion thereof) only to the extent necessary to generate at least the amount of EBITDA from such Facility following such restoration as was generated from such Facility prior to such Casualty Event.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to pursue its own claim with respect to the Taking for Tenant’s lost profits value and moving expenses and, the portion of the Award, if any, allocated to any Tenant Material Capital Improvements and Tenant’s Property, shall be and remain the property of Tenant free of any claim thereto by Landlord. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that solely for purposes of Article XIV and this Article XV , notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Tenant Material Capital Improvements relating to the Southern Indiana Redevelopment Project shall be deemed to be Material Capital Improvements financed by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof.
15.3     Temporary Taking . The taking of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, shall constitute a Taking by Condemnation only when the use and occupancy by the taking authority has continued for longer than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days. During any shorter period, which shall be a temporary taking, all the provisions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the Award allocable to the Term shall be paid to Tenant.
15.4     Condemnation Awards and Fee Mortgagee . Notwithstanding anything herein (including, without limitation, Article XXXI hereof) or in any Fee Mortgage Documents to the contrary, Landlord shall require that any Fee Mortgage Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to the Existing Fee Mortgage) shall permit Tenant to rebuild in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease (and any such Fee Mortgage Documents shall expressly provide that Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, is entitled to the applicable Award in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease).

Tenant shall pay as Additional Charges all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses, as a result of any Tenant Event of Default hereunder. Subject to Article XIX , Article XXXVI and Section 17.1(f) hereof, at any time upon or following the Expiration Date, Tenant shall, if required by Landlord to do so, immediately surrender to Landlord possession of the Leased Property and quit the same and Landlord may enter upon and repossess such Leased Property by reasonable force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove Tenant and all other Persons and any of Tenant’s Property therefrom. Landlord shall refrain from exercising any remedies pursuant to this Section during any applicable cure periods of Guarantor to the extent expressly provided in Section 17.2 of the MLSA.
(a)     None of (i) the termination of this Lease, (ii) the repossession of the Leased Property, (iii) the failure of Landlord to relet the Leased Property or any portions thereof, (iv) the reletting of all or any portion of the Leased Property, or (v) the inability of Landlord to collect or receive any rentals due upon any such reletting, shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive any such termination, repossession or reletting. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s damages under this Lease.
(b)     If this Lease shall terminate pursuant to Section 16.2(x) or if Landlord shall obtain a court order permitting reentry following the occurrence of a Tenant Event of Default that is continuing, then, in any such event, Landlord or Landlord’s agents and employees may immediately or at any time thereafter reenter the Leased Property to the extent permitted by law (including applicable Gaming Regulations), either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any Person therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property. The words “enter,” “reenter,” “entry” and “reentry,” as used herein, are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.
16.3     Damages .
(a)     If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in writing upon a Tenant Event of Default during the Term, Tenant shall forthwith (x) pay to Landlord all Rent due and payable under this Lease to and including the date of such termination (together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due), and (y) pay on demand all damages to which Landlord shall be entitled at law or in equity, provided , however , Landlord’s damages with regard to unpaid Rent from and after the date of termination shall equal, as liquidated and agreed current damages in respect thereof, the sum of: (A) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that (if the Lease had not been terminated) would have been payable hereunder after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (B) (x) the Rent which (if the Lease had not been terminated) would have been payable hereunder from the time of award until the then Stated Expiration Date, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%), less (y) the Rent loss from the time of the award until the then Stated Expiration Date that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). As used in clause (A) , the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due. As used in clauses (A) and (B) , Variable Rent that would have been payable after termination for the remainder of the Term shall be determined based on: (1) if the date of termination occurs during a Variable Rent Payment Period, the Variable Rent amount payable during such Variable Rent Payment Period (if the Lease had not been terminated), and (2) if the date of termination occurs prior to the commencement of any Variable Rent Payment Period, the Variable Rent that (if the Lease had not been terminated) would be payable after termination for the remainder of the Term, assuming Net Revenue for the

85







balance of the Term equals Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period ending immediately prior to the date of termination (it being understood the foregoing calculation of damages for unpaid Rent applies only to the amount of unpaid Rent damages owed to Landlord pursuant to Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder and does not prohibit or otherwise shall not limit Landlord from seeking damages for any indemnification or any other obligations of Tenant hereunder, with all such rights of Landlord reserved).
(b)     Notwithstanding anything otherwise set forth herein, if Landlord chooses not to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property (whether or not Landlord terminates this Lease) and has not been paid damages in accordance with Section 16.3(a) , then each installment of Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to or for the benefit of Landlord under this Lease shall be payable as the same otherwise becomes due and payable, together with, if any such amount is not paid when due, interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when due until paid, and Landlord may enforce, by action or otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Lease (and Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property and seek damages under Section 16.3(a) , to the extent not already paid for by Tenant under Section 16.3(a) or this Section 16.3(b) ).
(c)     If, as of the date of any termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 16.2(x) , the Leased Property shall not be in the condition in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Tenant, shall pay, as damages therefor, the cost (as estimated by an independent contractor reasonably selected by Landlord) of placing the Leased Property in the condition in which Tenant is required to surrender the same hereunder.
16.4     Receiver . Subject to the rights of Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees hereunder, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Tenant Event of Default, and upon commencement of proceedings to enforce the rights of Landlord hereunder, but subject to any limitations of applicable law (including Gaming Regulations), Landlord shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers acceptable to Landlord of the Leased Property and of the revenues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof, pending the outcome of such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.
16.5     Waiver . If Landlord initiates judicial proceedings or if this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to this Article XVI , Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession or similar laws for the benefit of Tenant; and (ii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.
16.6     Application of Funds . Any payments received by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Tenant Event of Default which are made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to the existence of a Tenant Event of Default shall be applied to Tenant’s obligations in the order which Landlord may reasonably determine or as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements.
16.7     Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default . If Tenant shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder when due including, without limitation, if Tenant fails to expend any Required Capital Expenditures as required hereunder or fails to complete any work or restoration or replacement of any nature as required hereunder, or if Tenant shall take any action prohibited hereunder, or if Tenant shall breach any representation or warranty comprising Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (and Landlord reasonably determines that such breach could be expected to give rise to an event of default or an indemnification obligation of Landlord under the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents), or Tenant fails to comply with any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (other than representations and warranties), in all cases, after the expiration of any cure period provided for herein, Landlord, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may, but shall be under no obligation to, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant (including, in the event of a breach of any such representation or warranty, taking actions to cause such representation or warranty to be true), and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand as an Additional Charge.

86







16.8     Miscellaneous .
(a)     Suit or suits for the recovery of damages, or for any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at Landlord’s election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease and the Term would have expired by limitation had there been no Tenant Event of Default, reentry or termination.
(b)     No failure by either Party to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant or condition. No agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by either Party, and no breach thereof, shall be or be deemed to be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the Parties. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every agreement, term, covenant and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof. In the event Landlord claims in good faith that Tenant has breached any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any rights and remedies allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though reentry, summary proceedings or other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.
(c)     Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, each right and remedy of a Party provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease.
(d)     Nothing contained in this Article XVI or otherwise shall vitiate or limit Tenant’s obligation to pay Landlord’s attorneys’ fees as and to the extent provided in Article XXXVII hereof, or any indemnification obligations under any express indemnity made by Tenant of Landlord or of any Landlord Indemnified Parties as contained in this Lease.

(b)     Notice to Landlord .
(i)     If Tenant shall, on one or more occasions, mortgage Tenant’s Leasehold Estate pursuant to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and if the holder of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall provide Landlord with written notice of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (which notice with respect to any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage not evidenced by a recorded security instrument, in order to be effective, shall also state (or be accompanied by a notice of Tenant stating) the relative priority of all then-effective Permitted Leasehold Mortgages noticed to Landlord under this Section and shall be consented to in writing by all then-existing Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees) together with a true copy of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and the name and address of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, Landlord and Tenant agree that, following receipt of such written notice by Landlord (which notice shall be accompanied by any items required pursuant to Section 17.1(a) above), the provisions of this Section 17.1 shall apply to each such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage. In the event of any assignment of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or in the event of a change of address of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or of an assignee of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, written notice of such assignment or change of address and of the new name and address shall be provided to Landlord, and the provisions of this Section 17.1 shall continue to apply, provided such assignee is a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.
(ii)     Landlord shall reasonably promptly following receipt of a communication purporting to constitute the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above (and such additional items requested by Landlord pursuant to the first sentence of Section 17.1(b)(iii) ) acknowledge by written notice receipt of such communication as constituting the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above and confirming the status of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as such or, in the alternative, notify Tenant and the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee of the rejection of such communication and any such items as not conforming with the provisions of this Section 17.1 and specify the specific basis of such rejection.
(iii)     After Landlord has received the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above, Tenant, upon being requested to do so by Landlord, shall with reasonable promptness provide Landlord with copies of the note or other obligations secured by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and any other documents pertinent to the applicable Permitted Leasehold Mortgage reasonably requested by Landlord.

All recorded documents shall be accompanied by the appropriate recording stamp or other certification of the custodian of the relevant recording office as to their authenticity as true and correct copies of official records and all nonrecorded documents shall be accompanied by a certification by Tenant that such documents are true and correct copies of the originals. From time to time upon being requested to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall also notify Landlord of the date and place of recording and other pertinent recording data with respect to such instruments as have been recorded.

88

In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties confirm that Tenant shall not be relieved of the requirement to comply with the final three (3) sentences of Section 17.1(b)(iii) with respect to Tenant’s Initial Financing or any other financing with a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.

Tenant authorizes each such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (to the extent such action is authorized under the applicable loan documents to which it acts as a lender, noteholder, investor, agent, trustee or representative) to take any such action at such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s option and does hereby authorize entry upon the Leased Property by the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for such purpose.
(d)     Right to Terminate Notice to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee . Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Tenant Event of Default shall occur which entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Lease on account of such Tenant Event of Default unless Landlord shall notify every Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b) hereof that the period of time given Tenant to cure such default or act or omission has lapsed and, accordingly, Landlord has the right to terminate this Lease (“ Right to Terminate Notice ”).

If the applicable default shall be cured pursuant to the terms and within the time periods allowed in this Section 17.1(d) , this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had not defaulted under the Lease. If a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall fail to take all of the actions described in this Section 17.1(d) with respect to a specific Tenant Event of Default for which the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee was provided notice prior to the deadlines set forth herein, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have no further rights under this Section 17.1(d) or Section 17.1(e) with respect to such Tenant Event of Default.

(vi)     in the case of a Sublease, the Subtenant thereunder will, upon request, furnish to Landlord and each Fee Mortgagee an estoppel certificate of the same type and kind as is required of Tenant pursuant to Section 23.1(a) hereof (as if such Sublease was this Lease).

From and after the date any Fee Mortgage encumbers the Leased Property (or any portion thereof or interest therein) and Landlord has provided Tenant with true and complete copies thereof and, if Landlord elects, of any applicable Fee Mortgage Documents (for informational purposes only, but not for Tenant’s approval), accompanied by a written request for Tenant to comply with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (hereinafter defined) (which request shall expressly reference this Section 31.3 and expressly identify the Fee Mortgage Documents and sections thereof containing the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements), and continuing until the first to occur of (1) such Fee Mortgage Documents ceasing to remain in full force and effect by reason of satisfaction in full of the indebtedness thereunder or foreclosure or similar exercise of remedies or otherwise, (2) the Expiration Date, (3) such time as Tenant’s compliance with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements would constitute or give rise to a breach or violation of (x) this Lease or the MLSA, in either case not waived by Landlord and, if applicable, Manager, (y) Legal Requirements (including Gaming Regulations and Liquor Laws), or (z) any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (not waived by the applicable Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee), provided, however, with respect to this clause (z) , (I) Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligation to comply with (A) the terms of the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements in effect as of the Commencement Date (whether embodied

119







in the Existing Fee Mortgage or related Fee Mortgage Documents or in any future Fee Mortgage or related Fee Mortgage Documents containing the applicable corresponding terms), nor (B) unless the applicable terms of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage were customary at the time entered into, any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (other than any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements covered under the preceding clause (A) ) in effect as of the time when the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage was obtained, and (II) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall have been entered into by Tenant without any intent to vitiate or supersede the terms of any applicable Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements, and (4) Tenant receives written direction from Landlord, any Fee Mortgagee or any governmental authority requesting or instructing Tenant to cease complying with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements, ( provided , prior to ceasing compliance with any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements under the preceding clauses (3) and (4) , Tenant shall first provide Landlord with prior written notice together with, (x) if acting pursuant to clause (3) , reasonably detailed materials evidencing that such compliance constitutes such a breach, and (y) if acting pursuant to clause (4) , a copy of the applicable communication(s) from such Fee Mortgagee or governmental authority, as applicable, and Tenant shall in such event only cease compliance with the specific Additional Fee Mortgage Requirements in question under clause (3) or that are covered by the written direction under clause (4) , as applicable) (such time period, the “ Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements Period ”), Tenant covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense and for the express benefit of Landlord (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any Fee Mortgagee, which shall not be construed to be a third-party beneficiary of this Lease, provided, however, this parenthetical provision is not intended to vitiate Tenant’s obligation to perform any or all of the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements directly for the benefit of any Fee Mortgagee as and to the extent agreed to by Tenant in an agreement entered into directly between Tenant and such Fee Mortgagee), to operate the Leased Property (or cause the Leased Property to be operated) in compliance with the Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements of which it has received written notice. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall not be required to comply with and shall not have any other obligations with respect to any terms or conditions of, or amendments or modifications to, any Fee Mortgage or other Fee Mortgage Documents that do not constitute Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements; provided , however , that the foregoing shall not be deemed to release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease that do not derive from the Fee Mortgage Documents, whether or not such obligations are duplicative of those set forth in the Fee Mortgage Documents.
(b)     As used herein, “ Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements ” means those customary requirements as to the operation of the Leased Property and the business thereon or therein which the Fee Mortgage Documents impose (x) directly upon, or require Landlord (or Landlord’s Affiliate borrower thereunder) to impose upon, the tenant(s) and/or operator(s) of the Leased Property or (y) directly upon Landlord, but which, by reason of the nature of the obligation(s) imposed and the nature of Tenant’s occupancy and operation of the Leased Property and the business conducted thereupon, are not reasonably susceptible of being performed by Landlord and are reasonably susceptible of being performed by Tenant (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any indebtedness or other obligations evidenced or secured thereby) and, except with respect to the Existing Fee Mortgage (of which Tenant is deemed to have received written notice) of which Tenant has received written notice; provided , however , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements shall not include or impose on Tenant (and Tenant will not be subject to) obligations which (i) are not customary for the type of financing provided under the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents, (ii) increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease to more than a de minimis extent (it being agreed that making payments otherwise payable to Landlord into a “lockbox” account designated by a Fee Mortgagee shall not be deemed to increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under the Lease), (iii) increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease in any material respect (it being agreed that making payments otherwise payable to Landlord into a “lockbox” account designated by a Fee Mortgagee shall not be deemed to increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under the Lease), (iv) diminish Tenant’s rights under this Lease in any material respect or (v) restrict Tenant’s ability to assign, sell, sublet, sub-sublet or transfer this Lease, Tenant’s Leasehold Estate, any Facility or Tenant’s Property, in each case, as otherwise expressly permitted under this Lease, to more than a de minimis extent, or restrict Tenant’s ability to effectuate an L1/L2 Transfer and/or a Permitted Facility Sublease as otherwise expressly permitted under this Lease.
(c)     Any proposed implementation of any additional financial covenants (i.e., a requirement that Tenant must meet certain specified performance tests of a financial nature, e.g., meeting a threshold EBITDAR, Net Revenue, financial ratio or similar test) that are imposed on Tenant shall not constitute Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (it being understood that Landlord may agree to such financial covenants being imposed in any Fee Mortgage Documents so long as such financial covenants will not impose additional obligations on Tenant to comply

120







therewith). For the avoidance of doubt, Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements may include (to the extent consistent with the foregoing definition of Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements) requirements of Tenant to:
(i)     make Rent payments into “lockbox accounts” maintained for the benefit of Fee Mortgagee; and/or
(ii)     subject to this Section 31.3 , perform other actions consistent with the obligations described in the first sentence of this Section 31.3
(d)     In the event Tenant breaches its obligations to comply with Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements as described herein (without regard to any notice or cure period under the Fee Mortgage Documents and without regard to whether a default or event of default has occurred as a result thereof under the Fee Mortgage Documents), Landlord shall have the right, following the failure of Tenant to cure such breach within twenty (20) days from receipt of written notice to Tenant from Landlord of such breach (except to the extent the breach is of a nature such that it is not practicable for Landlord to provide such prior written notice, in which event Landlord shall provide written notice as soon as practicable), to cure such breach, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with curing such breach.
(e)     To the extent of any conflict between the terms and provisions of any agreement to which Landlord, Tenant and Fee Mortgagee are parties and the terms and provisions of this Section 31.3 , the terms and provisions of such agreement shall govern and control in accordance with its terms.

32.3     Remediation . If either Landlord or Tenant becomes aware of a violation of any Legal Requirement (other than Gaming Regulations) relating to any Hazardous Substance in, on, under or about the Leased Property or any portion thereof or any adjacent property, or if Tenant, Landlord or the Leased Property or any portion thereof

121







becomes subject to any order of any federal, state or local agency to repair, close, detoxify, decontaminate or otherwise remediate the Leased Property, Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other party of such event and, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant shall cure such violation or effect such repair, closure, detoxification, decontamination or other remediation. If Tenant fails to diligently pursue, implement and complete any such cure, repair, closure, detoxification, decontamination or other remediation, which failure continues after notice and expiration of applicable cure periods, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to carry out such action and to recover from Tenant all of Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.
32.4     Indemnity . Each of the Persons comprising Tenant shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend, protect, save, hold harmless, and reimburse Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord for, from and against any and all actual out-of-pocket costs, losses (including, losses of use or economic benefit or diminution in value), liabilities, damages, assessments, lawsuits, deficiencies, demands, claims and expenses (collectively, “ Environmental Costs ”) (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and regardless of whether liability without fault is imposed, or sought to be imposed, on Landlord) incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to, directly or indirectly, in each case before or during (but not if first occurring after) the Term (i) the production, use, generation, storage, treatment, transporting, disposal, discharge, Release or other handling or disposition of any Hazardous Substances from, in, on or under the Leased Property or any portion thereof (collectively, “ Handling ”), including the effects of such Handling of any Hazardous Substances on any Person or property within or outside the boundaries of the Leased Property, (ii) the presence of any Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Leased Property and (iii) the violation of any Environmental Law. “ Environmental Costs ” include interest, costs of response, removal, remedial action, containment, cleanup, investigation, design, engineering and construction, damages (including actual and consequential damages) for personal injuries and for injury to, destruction of or loss of property or natural resources, relocation or replacement costs, penalties, fines, charges or expenses, reasonable attorney’s fees, reasonable expert fees, reasonable consultation fees, and court costs, and all amounts paid in investigating, defending or settling any of the foregoing, as applicable. Tenant’s indemnity hereunder shall survive the termination of this Lease, but in no event shall Tenant’s indemnity apply to Environmental Costs incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to matters first occurring after the later of (x) the end of the Term and (y) the date upon which Tenant shall have vacated the Leased Property and surrendered the same to Landlord, in each case to the extent such matters are not or were not caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant in breach of this Lease.
Without limiting the scope or generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly agrees that, in the event of a breach by Tenant in its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.3 that is not cured within any applicable cure period, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (directly or indirectly, before or during (but not if first occurring after) the Term) the following:

(b)     bringing the Leased Property into compliance with all Legal Requirements, and
(c)     removing, treating, storing, transporting, cleaning-up and/or disposing of any Hazardous Substances used, stored, generated, released or disposed of in, on, from, under or about the Leased Property or off-site other than in the ordinary course of the business conducted at the Leased Property and in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements.
If any claim is made by Landlord for reimbursement for Environmental Costs incurred by it hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay such claim promptly, and in any event to pay such claim within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by Tenant of written notice thereof and any amount not so paid within such sixty (60) calendar day period shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date due to the date paid in full.
32.5     Environmental Inspections . In the event Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant is in breach of its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.4 , Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, during normal business hours and upon not less than five (5) Business Days written notice to Tenant (except in the case of an

122







emergency that constitutes an imminent threat to human health or safety or damage to property, in which event Landlord shall undertake reasonable efforts to notify a representative of Tenant as soon as practicable under the circumstances), to conduct an inspection of the Leased Property or any portion thereof (and Tenant shall be permitted to have Landlord or its representatives accompanied by a representative of Tenant) to determine the existence or presence of Hazardous Substances on or about the Leased Property or any portion thereof. In the event Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant is in breach of its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.4 , Landlord shall have the right to enter and inspect the Leased Property or any portion thereof, conduct any testing, sampling and analyses it reasonably deems necessary and shall have the right to inspect materials brought into the Leased Property or any portion thereof. Landlord may, in its discretion, retain experts to conduct the inspection, perform the tests referred to herein, and to prepare a written report in connection therewith if Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant is in breach of its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.4 . All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord under this Section 32.6 shall be the responsibility of Landlord, except solely to the extent Tenant has breached its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.5 , in which event such reasonable costs and expenses shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as provided in Section 32.4 .

Tenant shall remain liable for any environmental condition related to or having occurred during its tenancy regardless of when such conditions are discovered and regardless of whether or not Landlord conducts an environmental inspection at the termination of this Lease. The obligations set forth in this Article XXXII shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease but in no event shall Article XXXII apply to matters first occurring after the later of (x) the end of the Term and (y) the date upon which Tenant shall have vacated the Leased Property and surrendered the same to Landlord, in each case to the extent such matters are not or were not caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant in breach of this Lease.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
34.1     Expert Valuation Process . Whenever a determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, and where Landlord and Tenant have not been able to reach agreement on such Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value either (i) with respect to Fair Market Base Rental Value applicable to a Renewal Term, within three hundred seventy (370) days prior to the commencement date of a Renewal Term or (ii) for all other purposes, after at least fifteen (15) days of good faith negotiations, then either Party shall each have the right to seek, upon written notice to the other Party (the “ Expert Valuation Notice ”), which notice clearly identifies that such Party seeks, to have such Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value determined in accordance with the following Expert Valuation Process:
(a)     Within twenty (20) days of the receiving Party’s receipt of the Expert Valuation Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall provide notice to the other Party of the name, address and other pertinent contact information, and qualifications of its selected appraiser (which appraiser must be an independent qualified MAI appraiser (i.e., a Member of the Appraisal Institute)).
(b)     As soon as practicable following such notice, and in any event within twenty (20) days following their selection, each appraiser shall prepare a written appraisal of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market

123







Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) as of the relevant date of valuation, and deliver the same to its respective client. Representatives of the Parties shall then meet and simultaneously exchange copies of such appraisals. Following such exchange, the appraisers shall promptly meet and endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) based on a written appraisal made by each of them (and given to Landlord by Tenant). If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value, as applicable, such agreed amount shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(c)     If such two appraisers are unable to agree upon a Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) within five (5) Business Days after the exchange of appraisals as aforesaid, then such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of the same and, within twenty (20) days of the exchange of appraisals, select a third appraiser (which third appraiser, however selected, must be an independent qualified MAI appraiser) to make the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value. The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(d)     If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (c) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) within thirty (30) days after his or her selection, then such third appraiser (or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable) shall, at the request of either Party, be appointed by the Appointing Authority and such appointment shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. The determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment.
(e)     If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) shall be the average of (x) the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the third appraiser and (y) the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the appraiser (selected pursuant to Section 34.1(b) ) whose determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant as being the Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be).
(f)     In determining Fair Market Ownership Value of the Leased Property as a whole or any Facility, the appraisers shall (in addition to taking into account the criteria set forth in the definition of Fair Market Ownership Value), except in connection with such determination pursuant to Article XXIX , add (i) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term, assuming the Term has been extended for all Renewal Terms provided herein (with assumed increases in CPI to be determined by the appraisers) using a discount rate (which may be determined by an investment banker retained by each appraiser) based on the credit worthiness of Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder and (ii) the present value of the Leased Property or Facility as of the end of such Term (assuming the Term has been extended for all Renewal Terms provided herein). The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all provisions of the Lease, and that no default exists under any guaranty of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.
(g)     In determining Fair Market Base Rental Value, the appraisers shall (in addition to the criteria set forth in the definition thereof and of Fair Market Rental Value) take into account: (i) the age, quality and condition (as required by the Lease) of the Improvements; (ii) that the Leased Property or Facility will be leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user; (iii) when determining the Fair Market Base Rental Value for any Renewal Term, a lease term of five (5) years together with such options to renew as then remains hereunder; (iv) an absolute triple net lease; and (v) such other items that professional real estate appraisers customarily consider.

124







(h)     For the avoidance of doubt, Fair Market Ownership Value of any Cluster Parcel pursuant to Section 29.2 shall be determined as if the applicable Cluster Parcel is vacant, unimproved and free and clear of all encumbrances (including this Lease, but excluding any Required Removal Exceptions) on the basis of the then highest and best use.
(i)     If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Base Rental Value is not determined by the first (1 st ) day of the applicable Renewal Term, then until Fair Market Base Rental Value is determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent during the succeeding Renewal Term in the same amount which Tenant was obligated to pay prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. Upon determination of Fair Market Base Rental Value, Rent shall be calculated retroactive to the commencement of the Renewal Term and Tenant shall either receive a refund from Landlord (in the case of an overpayment) or shall pay any deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment) within thirty (30) days of the date on which the determination of Fair Market Base Rental Value becomes binding.
(j)     The cost of the procedure described in this Section 34.1 shall be borne equally by the Parties and the Parties will reasonably coordinate payment; provided , that if Landlord pays such costs, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be Additional Charges hereunder and if Tenant pays such costs, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be a credit against the next Rent payment hereunder.
34.2     Arbitration . In the event of a dispute with respect to this Lease pursuant to an Arbitration Provision, or in any case when this Lease expressly provides for the settlement or determination of a dispute or question by an Expert pursuant to this Section 34.2 (in any such case, a “ Section 34.2 Dispute ”) such dispute shall be determined in accordance with an arbitration proceeding as set forth in this Section 34.2 .
(a)     Any Section 34.2 Dispute shall be determined by an arbitration panel comprised of three members, each of whom shall be an Expert (the “ Arbitration Panel ”). No more than one panel member may be with the same firm and no panel member may have an economic interest in the outcome of the arbitration.
The Arbitration Panel shall be selected as set forth in this Section 34.2(b) . If a Section 34.2 Dispute arises and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to resolve such dispute after at least fifteen (15) days of good faith negotiations, then either Party shall each have the right to submit the dispute to the Arbitration Panel, upon written notice to the other Party (the “ Arbitration Notice ”). The Arbitration Notice shall identify one member of the Arbitration Panel who meets the criteria of the above paragraph. Within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the Arbitration Notice, the Party receiving such Arbitration Notice shall respond in writing identifying one member of the Arbitration Panel who meets the criteria of the above paragraph. Such notices shall include the name, address and other pertinent contact information, and qualifications of its member of the Arbitration Panel. If a Party fails to timely select its respective panel member, the other Party may notify such Party in writing of such failure, and if such Party fails to select its respective panel member within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice, then such other Party may select and identify to such Party such panel member on such Party’s behalf. The third member of the Arbitration Panel will be selected by the two (2) members of the Arbitration Panel who were selected by Landlord and Tenant; provided , that if, within five (5) Business Days after they are identified, they fail to select a third member, or if they are unable to agree on such selection, Landlord and Tenant shall cause the third member of the Arbitration Panel to be appointed by the managing officer of the American Arbitration Association.
(b)     Within ten (10) Business Days after the selection of the Arbitration Panel, Landlord and Tenant each shall submit to the Arbitration Panel a written statement identifying its summary of the issues. Landlord and Tenant may also request an evidentiary hearing on the merits in addition to the submission of written statements. The Arbitration Panel shall make its decision within twenty (20) days after the later of (i) the submission of such written statements, and (ii) the conclusion of any evidentiary hearing on the merits. The Arbitration Panel shall reach its decision by majority vote and shall communicate its decision by written notice to Landlord and Tenant.
(c)     The decision by the Arbitration Panel shall be final, binding and conclusive and shall be non-appealable and enforceable in any court having jurisdiction. All hearings and proceedings held by the Arbitration Panel shall take place in New York, New York unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties and the Arbitration Panel.

125







(d)     The resolution procedure described herein shall be governed by the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the Procedures for Large, Complex, Commercial Disputes in effect as of the Commencement Date.
(e)     Landlord and Tenant shall bear equally the fees, costs and expenses of the Arbitration Panel in conducting any arbitration described in this Section 34.2 .

If not effected pursuant to Section 36.1 , then the determination of the Gaming Assets FMV and the transfer of the Gaming Assets to a Successor Tenant in consideration for the Gaming Assets FMV shall be effected by (i) first , determining in accordance with Section 36.3(a) the rent that Landlord would be entitled to receive from Successor Tenant assuming a lease term of the greater of (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) and (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Leased Property for the highest and best use of the Leased Property (provided, however, with respect to the Chester Property, in no event shall such lease term extend past the date that is twenty-nine (29) years and three hundred sixty-four (364) days from the Amendment Date) (the “ Successor Tenant Rent ”) pursuant to a lease agreement containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease), (ii) second , identifying and designating in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(b) , a pool of qualified potential Successor Tenants (each, a “ Qualified Successor Tenant ”) prepared to lease the Facilities at the Successor Tenant Rent and to bid for the Gaming Assets, and (iii) third , in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(c) , determining the highest price a Qualified Successor Tenant would agree to pay for the Gaming Assets, and setting such highest price as the Gaming Assets FMV in exchange for which Tenant shall be required to transfer the Gaming Assets and Landlord will enter into a lease with such Qualified Successor Tenant on substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease) through (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) or (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Leased Property, whichever of (I) or (II) is greater (provided, however, with respect to the Chester Property, in no event shall such lease term extend past the date that is twenty-nine (29) years and three hundred sixty-four (364) days from the Amendment Date), for a rent calculated pursuant to Section 36.3(a) hereof. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary in this Article XXXVI , the transfer of the Gaming Assets will be conditioned upon the approval of the applicable regulatory agencies of the transfer of the Gaming Licenses and any other gaming assets to the Successor Tenant and/or the issuance of new gaming licenses as required by applicable Gaming Regulations and the relevant regulatory agencies both with respect to operating and suitability criterion, as the case may be.
(a)     Determining Successor Tenant Rent . Landlord and Tenant shall first attempt to agree on the amount of Successor Tenant Rent that it will be assumed Landlord will be entitled to receive for a term of the greater of (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) and (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Leased Property (provided, however, with respect to the Chester Property, in no event shall such lease term extend past the date that is twenty-nine (29) years and three hundred sixty-four (364) days from the Amendment Date), and pursuant to a lease containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other

127







than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease). If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Successor Tenant Rent amount within a reasonable time not to exceed sixty (60) days after receipt of an End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice hereunder, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be set as follows:
(i)     for the period preceding the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the annual Successor Tenant Rent shall be an amount equal to the annual Rent that would have accrued under the terms of this Lease for such period (assuming the Lease will have not been terminated prior to its natural expiration); and
(ii)     for the period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be calculated in the same manner as Rent is calculated under this Lease, provided that if Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant shall be the Successor Tenant, the Rent shall not be less than the Fair Market Rental Value.
(b)     Designating Potential Successor Tenants . Landlord will select one and Tenant will select three (3) (for a total of up to four (4)) potential Qualified Successor Tenants prepared to lease the Facilities for the Successor Tenant Rent, each of whom must meet the criteria established for a L1 Qualified Transferee (as if the lease of the Facilities to the Qualified Successor Tenant was an L1 Transfer) (and none of whom may be Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant (it being understood and agreed that there shall be no restriction on Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord from being a potential Qualified Successor Tenant), except in the case of expiration of the Lease on the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35th) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs). Landlord and Tenant must designate their proposed Qualified Successor Tenants within ninety (90) days after receipt of an End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice hereunder. In the event that Landlord or Tenant fails to designate such party’s allotted number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants, the other party may designate additional potential Qualified Successor Tenants such that the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants does not exceed four; provided that, in the event the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants is less than four, the transfer process will still proceed as set forth in Section 36.3(c) below.
(c)     Determining Gaming Assets FMV . Tenant will have a three (3) month period to negotiate an acceptable sales price for the Gaming Assets, with one of the Qualified Successor Tenants, which three (3) month period will commence immediately upon the conclusion of the steps set forth above in Section 36.3(b) . If Tenant does not reach an agreement prior to the end of such three (3) month period, Landlord shall conduct an auction for the Gaming Assets among the four potential successor lessees, and Tenant will be required to transfer the Gaming Assets to the highest bidder.
36.4     Operation Transfer . Upon designation of a Successor Tenant by Landlord (pursuant to this Article XXXVI ), Tenant shall reasonably cooperate and take all actions reasonably necessary (including providing all reasonable assistance to Successor Tenant) to effectuate the transfer of the Gaming Assets and operational control of the Facilities to Successor Tenant in an orderly manner so as to minimize to the maximum extent feasible any disruption to the continued orderly operation of the Facilities for their respective Primary Intended Use. Concurrently with the transfer of the Gaming Assets to Successor Tenant, (i) Tenant shall assign to Successor Tenant (and Successor Tenant shall assume) any then-effective Subleases or other agreements (to the extent such other agreements are assignable) relating to the Leased Property, and (ii) Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Landlord and/or Successor Tenant in the condition required under this Lease. Notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of the Term and anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that this Article XXXVI applies, unless Landlord consents to the contrary, until such time that Tenant transfers the Gaming Assets and operational control of the Facilities to a Successor Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article XXXVI , Tenant shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) continue to (and Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain possession of the Leased Property to the extent necessary to) operate the Facilities in accordance with the applicable terms of this Lease and the course and manner in which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) has operated the Facilities prior to the end of the Term (including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent hereunder at the rate provided in Section 36.1 (and not subject to Article XIX )); provided, however, that Tenant shall have no obligation (unless specifically agreed to by Tenant) to operate the Facility (or pay any such Rent) under such arrangement for more than two (2) years after the Expiration Date; and provided further, however, that in no event shall

thereto and this Lease shall be interpreted consistent with this intent. If any Rent hereunder fails to qualify as “rent from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, the Parties will cooperate in good faith to amend this Lease such that no Rent fails to so qualify, provided that (i) such amendment shall not (w) increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease by more than a de minimis extent, (x) increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease in any material respect, (y) decrease Landlord’s obligations under this Lease in any material respect or (z) diminish Tenant’s rights under this Lease in any material respect and (ii) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable and actual documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and actual documented out-of-pocket legal costs and expenses) incurred by Tenant in connection with such amendment.

130







than a de minimis extent or (ii) materially increase Tenant’s nonmonetary obligations under this Lease or (iii) materially diminish Tenant’s rights under this Lease.

(a)     This Lease and the parties hereto, in each case as it relates to the New Jersey Facilities only, are subject to compliance with the requirements of the New Jersey Casino Control Act, N.J.S.A. 5:12-1 et seq., (the “ New Jersey Act ”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In accordance with N.J.S.A. 5:12-82c, this Lease or any further amendments thereto relating to New Jersey Facilities must be filed with the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (the “ Commission ”) and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (the “ Division ”) and, to the extent that this Lease or any further amendment thereto relates to the New Jersey Facilities, the same shall only be effective as to the New Jersey Facilities once if approved by the Commission.
(b)     The parties acknowledge and agree that the Lease and any transfers or assignments under the Lease, in each case to the extent the same relate to the New Jersey Facilities, are subject to the applicable provisions of N.J.S.A. 5:12-82 et. seq. To the extent required by N.J.S.A. 5:12-82c(10), with respect to the New Jersey Facilities only, each party to the Lease is jointly and severally liable for all acts, omissions and violations of the New Jersey Act by any party, regardless of actual knowledge of such act, omission or violation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the party violating the New Jersey Act shall indemnify the non-violating party for any liability incurred by the non-violating party as a result of any such violation in a manner consistent with Article XXI of this Lease; provided, however, that neither party shall be required to indemnify the other party for any liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from any required sale of a New Jersey Facility pursuant to paragraphs (d-g) of this Section 41.15 below (including, without limitation, the payment of the New Jersey Facility Fair Market Value, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 41.15 , or any closing costs associated therewith).
(c)     Pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 5:12-104b, this Lease, as it relates to the New Jersey Facilities only, may be terminated by the Division or Commission without liability on the part of Tenant or Landlord, if the Division or Commission disapproves of its terms, including the terms of compensation, or of the qualifications of Landlord or Tenant, their respective owners, officers, directors or employees based on the standards contained in N.J.S.A. 5:12-86.
(d)     In accordance with the requirements of N.J.S.A. 5:12-82c(5), if at any time during the Term (so long as a New Jersey Facility remains a Facility under this Lease), Landlord or any person associated with Landlord (other than Tenant or any subtenant thereof), is found by the Director of the Division to be unsuitable to be associated with a casino enterprise in New Jersey, and is not removed from such association in a manner acceptable to the Division, then upon written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord (the “ New Jersey Purchase Notice ”), following such final unstayed decision of the Division which provides that a purchase of Landlord’s interest in a New Jersey Facility is required, Tenant may elect either (a) to require Landlord to sell all (but not less than all) of Landlord’s interest in such New Jersey Facility (but no other Facility under the Lease) to a third party pursuant to a Severance Lease; provided, that the Division does not object, or (b) to purchase all (but not less than all) of Landlord’s interest in an applicable New Jersey Facility (but no other Facility under the Lease) for an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the New Jersey Fair Market Value (as finally determined in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section 14.15 below), which amount shall be payable in cash.
(e)     The “ New Jersey Fair Market Value ” shall be an amount equal to the fair market value of an applicable New Jersey Facility based on the amount that would be paid by a willing purchaser to a willing seller if neither were under any compulsion to buy or sell. If the parties are unable to mutually agree upon the New Jersey Fair Market Value within thirty (30) days after delivery of the New Jersey Purchase Notice, the New Jersey Fair Market Value will be determined by Experts appointed in accordance with Section 34.1 in which case Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the Experts their respective determinations of the New Jersey Fair Market Value. The Experts may only select either the New Jersey Fair Market Value set forth by Landlord or by Tenant and may not select any other amount or make any other determination (and the Experts shall be so instructed). The Experts shall notify the parties in writing within thirty (30) days of the submission of the matter to the Experts of their selection of either Tenant’s or Landlord’s determination of the New Jersey Fair Market Value as the conclusive determination of the New Jersey Fair Market Value.
(f)     In the event that Tenant has elected to purchase a New Jersey Facility, the closing of the purchase and sale of such New Jersey Facility shall occur not later than ninety (90) days after determination of the New Jersey Fair Market Value, or such other time as may be directed by the New Jersey Gaming Authorities. At such closing,

135







Landlord shall deliver to Tenant all fee and leasehold title to the applicable New Jersey Facility, free and clear of any liens, claims or other encumbrances other than (A) any liens and encumbrances created or in place as of the Commencement Date and (B) any liens and encumbrances caused by Tenant or as permitted by the Lease. Landlord shall use all its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver title to the applicable New Jersey Facility in the condition required in this Section 41.15(f) . All closing costs and expenses, including any applicable real property transfer taxes or fees, of conveying a New Jersey Facility to Tenant shall be allocated between Landlord and Tenant in the manner the same are customarily allocated between a seller and buyer of similar real property located in the State of New Jersey. Upon such closing the Lease, as it relates to the applicable New Jersey Facility only, shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect, and Rent under the Lease from and after the date of such closing shall be reduced in accordance with the Rent Reduction Amount. Nothing in this Section 41.15 shall be deemed to supersede any provision of the Lease which expressly survives the termination of the Lease, and nothing contained in this Section 41.15 shall be deemed to release either party from any obligation or liability relating to any Facility other than an applicable New Jersey Facility or any obligation or liability relating to such applicable New Jersey Facility which shall have arisen under the Lease prior to the effective date of the sale to Tenant of the applicable New Jersey Facility.
(g)     In the event that Tenant has elected to require Landlord to sell a New Jersey Facility to a third-party, in connection with the closing of the purchase and sale of such New Jersey Facility from Landlord to such third-party, Tenant and such third-party shall enter into a Severance Lease and the Lease shall be amended to reflect the removal of the applicable New Jersey Facility from the Lease.
41.16     Savings Clause . If for any reason this Lease is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid as to any space that would otherwise be a part of the Leased Property and that is subject to a pre-existing lease as of the Commencement Date (between Tenant’s predecessor in interest prior to the Commencement Date, as landlord, and a third party as tenant), then Landlord shall be deemed to be the landlord under such pre-existing lease, and the Parties agree that Tenant shall be deemed to be the collection agent for Landlord for purposes of collecting rent and other amounts payable by the tenant under such pre-existing lease and shall remit the applicable collected amounts to Landlord. In such event, the Rent payable hereunder shall be deemed to be reduced by any amounts so collected by Tenant and remitted to Landlord with respect to any such pre-existing lease.
41.17     Integration with Other Documents . Each of Tenant and Landlord acknowledge and agree that certain operating efficiencies and value will be achieved as a result of Tenant’s and Other Tenants’ lease of the Leased Property and the Other Leased Property and the engagement by Tenant and Other Tenants of Manager under the MLSA and “Manager” under and as defined in each Other MLSA and the engagement of Manager and/or its Affiliates to operate and manage the Facilities, the Other Leased Property and the Other Managed Resorts (as defined in each of the MLSA and the Other MLSA) that would not be possible to achieve if unrelated managers were engaged to operate each of the Leased Property, the Other Leased Property and the Other Managed Resorts.

Accordingly, it is the express intention and agreement of each of Tenant and Landlord that (i) each of the provisions of the MLSA, including the management and lease guaranty rights and obligations thereunder, form part of a single integrated agreement and shall not be or deemed to be separate or severable agreements and (ii) the Parties would not be entering into this Lease without entering into the MLSA (and vice versa) (or into any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements without entering into all of the Lease/MLSA Related Agreements) and in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution proceedings in respect of any Party, no Party will reject, move to reject, or join or support any other Party in attempting to reject any one of this Lease or the MLSA or any other Lease/MLSA Related Agreement without rejecting the other agreement as if each of this Lease and the MLSA and each other Lease/MLSA Related Agreement were one integrated agreement and not separable.

LEASE (JOLIET)
THIS LEASE (JOLIET) (this “ Lease ”) is entered into as of October 6, 2017, by and among HARRAH’S JOLIET LANDCO LLC (together with its successors and assigns, “ Landlord ”), and DES PLAINES DEVELOPMENT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (together with its successors and assigns, “ Tenant ”).
RECITALS
A.    Commencing on January 15, 2015 and continuing thereafter, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Debtors ”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “ Bankruptcy Court ”), jointly administered under Case No. 15-01145, and the Bankruptcy Court has confirmed the “Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code” (as it may be altered, amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms of Article X thereof, the “ Bankruptcy Plan ”).
B.    Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Plan, on October 6, 2017 the Debtors transferred the Leased Property to Landlord.
C.    Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Plan, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease (Joliet), dated as of October 6, 2017 (the “ Original Lease ”), whereby Landlord leased the Leased Property to Tenant and Tenant leased the Leased Property from Landlord, upon the terms set forth in the Original Lease.
D.    Immediately following the execution of the Original Lease, Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, merged into CEOC, LLC.
E.    Landlord and Tenant wish to amend the Original Lease as set forth herein.
F.    Capitalized terms used in this Lease and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Article II hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

DEMISE; TERM
1.1
Leased Property . Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Landlord demises and leases to Tenant and Tenant accepts and leases from Landlord all of Landlord’s rights and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “ Leased Property ”):
(a)     the real property described in Exhibit B attached hereto, together with any ownership interests in adjoining roadways, alleyways, strips, gores and the like appurtenant thereto (collectively, the “ Land ”);
(b)     the Ground Leases (as defined below), together with the leasehold estates in the Ground Leased Property (as defined below), as to which this Lease will constitute a sublease;
(c)     all buildings, structures, Fixtures and improvements of every kind now or hereafter located on the Land or the improvements located thereon or permanently affixed to the Land or the improvements located thereon, including, but not limited to, alleyways and connecting tunnels, sidewalks, utility pipes, conduits and lines appurtenant to such buildings and structures (collectively, the “ Leased Improvements ”), provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect or contradict the provisions of this Lease which specify that Tenant shall be entitled to certain rights with respect to or benefits of the Tenant Capital Improvements as expressly set forth herein; and
(d)     all easements, development rights and other rights appurtenant to the Land or the Leased Improvements.

1






The Leased Property is leased subject to all covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters of any nature affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof as of the Commencement Date and such subsequent covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and other matters as may hereafter arise in accordance with the terms of this Lease or as may otherwise be agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant, whether or not of record, including any matters which would be disclosed by an inspection or accurate survey of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.
To the extent Landlord’s ownership of any Leased Property or any portion thereof (including any improvement (including any Capital Improvement) or other property) that does not constitute “real property” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.856-3(d), which would otherwise be owned by Landlord and leased to Tenant pursuant to this Lease, could cause Landlord REIT to fail to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” (within the meaning of Section 856(a) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto), then a portion of Landlord REIT’s (or its subsidiary’s) direct ownership interest in Landlord shall automatically instead be owned by Propco TRS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto) of Landlord REIT (the “ Propco TRS ”), to the extent necessary such that Landlord’s ownership of such Leased Property does not cause Landlord REIT to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust, provided, there shall be no adjustment in the Rent as a result of the foregoing.
1.2     Single, Indivisible Lease . This Lease constitutes one indivisible lease of the Leased Property and not separate leases governed by similar terms. The Leased Property constitutes one economic unit, and the Rent and all other provisions have been negotiated and agreed upon based on a demise of all of the Leased Property to Tenant as a single, composite, inseparable transaction and would have been substantially different had separate leases or a divisible lease been intended. Except as expressly provided in this Lease for specific, isolated purposes (and then only to the extent expressly otherwise stated), all provisions of this Lease apply equally and uniformly to all components of the Leased Property collectively as one unit. The Parties intend that the provisions of this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied so as to carry out their mutual objective to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property and, in particular but without limitation, that, for purposes of any assumption, rejection or assignment of this Lease under 11 U.S.C. Section 365, or any successor or replacement thereof or any analogous state law, this is one indivisible and non-severable lease and executory contract dealing with one legal and economic unit and that this Lease must be assumed, rejected or assigned as a whole with respect to all (and only as to all) of the Leased Property. The Parties may elect to amend this Lease from time to time to modify the boundaries of the Land, to exclude one or more components or portions thereof, and/or to include one or more additional components as part of the Leased Property, and any such future addition to the Leased Property shall not in any way change the indivisible and nonseverable nature of this Lease and all of the foregoing provisions shall continue to apply in full force. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 1.2 is not intended to and shall not be deemed to limit, vitiate or supersede anything contained in Section 41.17 hereof.
1.3
Term . The “ Term ” of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and expire on the Expiration Date (i.e., the Term shall consist of the Initial Term plus all Renewal Terms, to the extent exercised as set forth in Section 1.4 below, subject to any earlier termination of the Term pursuant to the terms hereof). The initial stated term of this Lease (the “ Initial Term ”) shall commence on October 6, 2017 (the “ Commencement Date ”) and expire on October 31, 2032 (the “ Initial Stated Expiration Date ”). The “ Stated Expiration Date ” means the Initial Stated Expiration Date or the expiration date of the most recently exercised Renewal Term, as the case may be.
1.4
Renewal Terms . The Term of this Lease may be extended for four (4) separate “ Renewal Terms ” of five (5) years each if (a) at least twelve (12), but not more than eighteen (18), months prior to the then current Stated Expiration Date, Tenant (or, pursuant to Section 17.1(e) , a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) delivers to Landlord a “ Renewal Notice ” stating that it is irrevocably exercising its right to extend this Lease for one (1) Renewal Term; and (b) no Tenant Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Landlord receives the Renewal Notice or on the last day of the then current Term (other than a Tenant Event of Default that is in the process of being cured by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee in compliance in all respects with Section 17.1(d) and Section 17.1(e) ). Subject to the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease, upon Tenant’s timely delivery to Landlord of a Renewal Notice, the Term of this Lease shall be extended for the then applicable Renewal Term.

2





During any such Renewal Term, except as specifically provided for herein, all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. After the last Renewal Term, Tenant shall have no further right to renew or extend the Term. If Tenant fails to validly and timely exercise any right to extend this Lease, then all subsequent rights to extend the Term shall terminate.
1.5     Maximum Fixed Rent Term . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Term with respect to the Leased Property shall expire as of the end of the Renewal Term immediately prior to the Renewal Term that would cause the Term to extend beyond the expiration of the Maximum Fixed Rent Term (after taking into account Maximum Fixed Rent Term extensions, if any, pursuant to clause (c)(iv) of the definition of “ Rent ”), in which event the Leased Property shall revert to Landlord and all Tenant’s Property relating thereto (including any Gaming Licenses relating thereto) shall remain owned by Tenant.

RENT
3.1
Payment of Rent .
(a)     Generally . During the Term, Tenant will pay to Landlord the Rent and Additional Charges in lawful money of the United States of America and legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in the manner provided in Section 3.4 .
(b)     Payment of Rent until Commencement of Variable Rent . On the Commencement Date, a prorated portion of the first monthly installment of Rent shall be paid by Tenant for the period from the Commencement Date until the last day of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs, based on the number of days during such period. Thereafter, for the first seven (7) Lease Years, Rent shall be payable by Tenant in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Rent amount for the applicable Lease Year on the first (1st) day of each calendar month (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Lease Year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, (i) on the Amendment Date, the amount of each remaining monthly installment of Rent in the Lease Year in which the Amendment Date occurs (i.e., each installment of Rent payable in such Lease Year after the Amendment Date) shall be recalculated to give effect to the changes to Rent effectuated by the amendments to this Lease on the Amendment Date and (ii) on the Amendment Date, if the Amendment Date occurs after the first day of the second (2 nd ) Lease Year, a “catch-up” Rent payment in the amount of the product of (1) Five Hundred Ninety-Four Thousand Three Hundred Seventy-Five and No/100 Dollars ($594,375.00) multiplied by (2) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which is the number of calendar days that have commenced from and after the beginning of the second (2 nd ) Lease Year and

40





(II) the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365), shall be paid by Tenant, which “catch-up” payment represents incremental Rent that would have been due had the changes to the definition of Rent effectuated by the amendments to this Lease on the Amendment Date been effective on the first day of the second (2 nd ) Lease Year.
(c)     Payment of Rent following Commencement of Variable Rent . From the commencement of the eighth (8th) Lease Year and continuing until the Expiration Date, both Base Rent and Variable Rent during any Lease Year shall be payable in consecutive monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Base Rent and Variable Rent amounts for the applicable Lease Year on the first (1st) day of each calendar month (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of the month is not a Business Day), in advance for such calendar month, during that Lease Year; provided , however , that for each month where Variable Rent is payable but the amount thereof depends upon calculation of Net Revenue not yet known ( e.g. , the first few months of the eighth (8th) Lease Year, the eleventh (11th) Lease Year, and (if applicable) the first (1st) Lease Year of each Renewal Term), the amount of the Variable Rent payable monthly in advance shall remain the same as in the immediately preceding month, and provided , further , that Tenant shall make a payment to Landlord (or be entitled to set off against its Rent payment due, as applicable) on the first (1st) day of the calendar month (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of the month is not a Business Day) following the completion of such calculation in the amount necessary to “true-up” any underpayments or overpayments of Variable Rent for such interim period. Tenant shall complete such calculation of Net Revenue as provided in Section 3.2 of this Lease.
(d)     Proration for Partial Lease Year . Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, Rent and applicable Additional Charges shall be prorated on a per diem basis as to any Lease Year containing less than twelve (12) calendar months, and with respect to any installment thereof due for any partial months at the beginning and end of the Term.
(e)     Rent Allocation . Rent during the initial seven (7) Lease Years and Rent thereafter for the duration of the Initial Term shall be allocated as specified in Schedule 5 hereto and such allocations of Rent and Base Rent shall represent Tenant’s accrued liability on account of the use of the Leased Property during the Initial Term. Landlord and Tenant agree that such allocations are intended to constitute a specific allocation of fixed rent within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.467-1(c)(2)(ii)(A) to the applicable period and in the respective amounts set forth in Schedule 5 hereto. Landlord and Tenant agree, for purposes of federal income tax returns filed by it (or on any income tax returns on which its income is included), to accrue rental income and rental expense, respectively during the Initial Term in the amounts equal to the amount set forth under the caption “Rent Allocation” in Schedule 5 hereto.
3.2     Variable Rent Determination .
(a)     Variable Rent Statement . Tenant shall, no later than ninety (90) days after the end of each Variable Rent Determination Period during the Term, furnish to Landlord a statement (the “ Variable Rent Statement ”), which Variable Rent Statement shall (i) set forth the sum of the Net Revenue realized with respect to the Facility and the Non-CPLV Facilities (so long as a Non-CPLV Facility is being leased to Non-CPLV Tenant by Non-CPLV Landlord pursuant to the Non-CPLV Lease) during each of (x) such just-ended Variable Rent Determination Period and (y) except with respect to the first (1st) Variable Rent Statement, the Variable Rent Determination Period immediately preceding such just-ended Variable Rent Determination Period, (ii) except with respect to the first (1st) Variable Rent Statement, set forth Tenant’s calculation of the per annum Variable Rent payable hereunder during the next Variable Rent Payment Period, (iii) be accompanied by reasonably appropriate supporting data and information, and (iv) be certified by a senior financial officer of Tenant and expressly state that such officer has examined the reports of Net Revenue therein and the supporting data and information accompanying the same, that such examination included such tests of Tenant’s books and records as reasonably necessary to make such determination, and that such statement accurately presents in all material respects the Net Revenues for the applicable periods covered thereby, so that Tenant shall commence paying the applicable Variable Rent payable during each Variable Rent Payment Period hereunder (in accordance with the calculation set forth in each such Variable Rent Statement) no later than the first (1st) day of the fourth (4 th ) calendar month during such Variable Rent Payment Period (or the immediately preceding Business Day if the first (1st) day of such month is not a Business Day).

41





(b)     Maintenance of Records Relating to Variable Rent Statement . Tenant shall maintain, at its corporate offices, for a period of not less than six (6) years following the end of each Lease Year, adequate records which shall evidence the Net Revenue realized by the Facility and the Non-CPLV Facilities (so long as a Non-CPLV Facility is being leased to Non-CPLV Tenant by Non-CPLV Landlord pursuant to the Non-CPLV Lease) during each Lease Year, together with all such records that would normally be examined by an independent auditor pursuant to GAAP in performing an audit of Tenant’s Variable Rent Statements. The provisions and covenants of this Section 3.2(b) shall survive the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease.
(c)     Audits . At any time within two (2) years of receipt of any Variable Rent Statement, Landlord shall have the right to cause to be conducted an independent audit of the matters covered thereby, conducted by a nationally-recognized independent public accounting firm mutually reasonably agreed to by the Parties. Such audit shall be limited to items necessary to ascertain an accurate determination of the calculation of the Variable Rent payable hereunder, and shall be conducted during normal business hours at the principal executive office of Tenant. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit (i) that there has been a deficiency in the payment of Variable Rent, such deficiency shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after such determination, or (ii) that there has been an excess payment of Variable Rent, such excess shall become due and payable by Landlord to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after such determination. In addition, if any Variable Rent Statement shall be found to have understated the per annum Variable Rent payable during any Variable Rent Payment Period by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%), and Landlord is entitled to any additional Variable Rent as a result of such understatement, then (x) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses which may be incurred by Landlord in determining and collecting the understatement or underpayment, including the cost of the audit (if applicable) and (y) interest at the Overdue Rate on the amount of the deficiency from the date when said payment should have been made until paid. If it shall be determined as a result of such audit that the applicable Variable Rent Statement did not understate the per annum Variable Rent payable during any Variable Rent Payment Period by more than two and one-half percent (2.5%), then Landlord shall pay to Tenant all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in making such determination, including the cost of the audit. In addition, if any Variable Rent Statement shall be found to have willfully and intentionally understated the per annum Variable Rent by more than five percent (5%), such understatement shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a Tenant Event of Default under this Lease. Any audit conducted pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) shall be performed subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 23.1(c) hereof. The receipt by Landlord of any Variable Rent Statement or any Variable Rent paid in accordance therewith for any period shall not constitute an admission of the correctness thereof.
3.3
Late Payment of Rent or Additional Charges . Tenant hereby acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any Rent or Additional Charges will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated hereunder, the exact amount of which is presently anticipated to be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or Additional Charges payable directly to Landlord shall not be paid within four (4) days after its due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the amount of such installment or Additional Charges and (b) the maximum amount permitted by law. The Parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. The Parties further agree that any such late charge constitutes Rent, and not interest, and such assessment does not constitute a lender or borrower/creditor relationship between Landlord and Tenant. If any installment of Rent (or Additional Charges payable directly to Landlord) shall not be paid within nine (9) days after its due date, the amount unpaid, including any late charges previously accrued and unpaid, shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate (from such ninth (9 th ) day after the due date of such installment until the date of payment thereof) (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding), and Tenant shall pay such interest to Landlord on demand. The payment of such late charge or such interest shall not constitute a waiver of, nor excuse or cure, any default under this Lease, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Landlord. No failure by Landlord to insist upon strict performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to pay late charges and interest on sums overdue shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to enforce the provisions, terms and conditions of this Section 3.3 . No payment by Tenant nor receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than may be

42





required to be paid hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of any such payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check tendered as payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord, in its sole discretion, may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such payment due or pursue any other right or remedy in this Lease provided.
3.4     Method of Payment of Rent . Rent and Additional Charges to be paid to Landlord shall be paid by electronic funds transfer debit transactions through wire transfer, ACH or direct deposit of immediately available federal funds and shall be initiated by Tenant for settlement on or before the applicable Payment Date in each case (or, in respect of Additional Charges, as applicable, such other date as may be applicable hereunder); provided , however , if the Payment Date is not a Business Day, then settlement shall be made on the preceding Business Day. Landlord shall provide Tenant with appropriate wire transfer, ACH and direct deposit information in a Notice from Landlord to Tenant. If Landlord directs Tenant to pay any Rent or any Additional Charges to any party other than Landlord, Tenant shall send to Landlord, simultaneously with such payment, a copy of the transmittal letter or invoice and a check whereby such payment is made or such other evidence of payment as Landlord may reasonably require.
3.5     Net Lease . Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (i) this Lease is and is intended to be what is commonly referred to as a “net, net, net” or “triple net” lease, and (ii) the Rent (including, for avoidance of doubt, following commencement of the obligation to pay Variable Rent hereunder, the Base Rent and Variable Rent components of the Rent) and Additional Charges shall be paid absolutely net to Landlord, without abatement, deferment, reduction, defense, counterclaim, claim, demand, notice, deduction or offset of any kind whatsoever, so that this Lease shall yield to Landlord the full amount or benefit of the installments of Rent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, following commencement of the obligation to pay Variable Rent hereunder, the Base Rent and Variable Rent components of the Rent) and Additional Charges throughout the Term, all as more fully set forth in Article V and except and solely to the extent expressly provided in Article XIV (in connection with a Casualty Event), in Article XV (in connection with a Condemnation), in Section 3.1 (in connection with the “true-up”, if any, applicable to the onset of a Variable Rent Payment Period) and in Section 41.16 . If Landlord commences any proceedings for non-payment of Rent, Tenant will not interpose any defense, offset, claim, counterclaim or cross complaint or similar pleading of any nature or description in such proceedings unless Tenant would lose or waive such claim by the failure to assert it. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s right to assert such claims in a separate action brought by Tenant. The covenants to pay Rent and Additional Charges hereunder are independent covenants, and Tenant shall have no right to hold back, deduct, defer, reduce, offset or fail to pay any such amounts for default by Landlord or for any other reason whatsoever, except solely as and to the extent provided in Section 3.1 and this Section 3.5 .
ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL CHARGES
4.1     Impositions . Subject to Article XII relating to permitted contests, Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions before they become delinquent (other than any payments with respect to (x) Ground Leases required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or (y) Property Documents required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.2(f) , which Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid when such payments are due and payable, as required under the applicable Ground Lease or Property Document) during the Term to the applicable taxing authority or other party imposing the same before any fine, penalty, premium or interest may be added for non-payment ( provided , (i) such covenant shall not be construed to require early or advance payments that would reduce or discount the amount otherwise owed and (ii) Tenant shall not be required to pay any Impositions that under the terms of any applicable Ground Lease or Property Document are required to be paid by the Ground Lessor or counterparty thereunder). Tenant shall make such payments directly to the taxing authorities where feasible, and on a monthly basis furnish to Landlord a summary of such payments, together, upon the request of Landlord, with copies of official receipts or other reasonably satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. If Tenant is not permitted to, or it is otherwise not feasible for Tenant to, make such payments directly to the taxing authorities or other applicable party, then Tenant shall make such payments to Landlord at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such

43





payments becoming delinquent (except in the case of any such payments with respect to (x) Ground Leases required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or (y) Property Documents required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.2(f) , which Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such payments becoming due and payable under the applicable Ground Lease or Property Document), and Landlord shall make such payments to the taxing authorities or other applicable party prior to delinquency (or, in the case of any such payments with respect to (x) Ground Leases required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or (y) Property Documents required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 7.2(f) , the date that such payments are due and payable under the applicable Ground Lease or Property Document). Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any bills received by Landlord for Impositions, promptly following Landlord’s receipt thereof. Tenant’s obligation to pay Impositions shall be absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property to the extent payable during the Term or any part thereof, subject to Article XII . Notwithstanding anything in the first sentence of this Section 4.1 to the contrary, if any Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be paid in installments, whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, Tenant may pay the same, and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition, in installments before the same respectively become delinquent and before any fine, penalty, premium or further interest may be added thereto.
(a)     Landlord or Landlord REIT shall prepare and file all tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal Requirements with respect to Landlord’s net income, gross receipts, franchise taxes and taxes on its capital stock and any other returns required to be filed by or in the name of Landlord (the “ Landlord Tax Returns ”), and Tenant or Tenant’s applicable direct or indirect parent shall prepare and file all other tax returns and reports as may be required by Legal Requirements with respect to or relating to the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property.

(b)     Any refund due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of Tenant shall be paid over to or retained by Tenant, and any refund due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by or on behalf of Landlord, if any, shall be paid over to or retained by Landlord.
(c)     Landlord and Tenant shall, upon request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the Party to whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to prepare any required tax returns and reports. Landlord, to the extent it possesses the same, and Tenant, to the extent it possesses the same, shall provide the other Party, upon request, with cost and depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property classified as personal property. Where Landlord is legally required to file personal property tax returns, Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of assessment notices indicating a value in excess of the reported value in sufficient time for Tenant to file a protest.
(d)     Billings for reimbursement by Tenant to Landlord of personal property or real property taxes and any taxes due under the Landlord Tax Returns, if and to the extent Tenant is responsible for such taxes under the terms of this Section 4.1 (subject to Article XII ), shall be accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments thereof which identify in reasonable detail the personal property or real property or other tax obligations of Landlord with respect to which such payments are made.
(e)     Impositions imposed or assessed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs shall be adjusted and prorated between Landlord and Tenant; provided , that Tenant’s obligation to pay its prorated share of Impositions imposed or assessed before the Expiration Date in respect of a tax-fiscal period during the Term shall survive the Expiration Date (and its right to contest the same pursuant to Article XII shall survive the Stated Expiration Date). Landlord will not enter into agreements that will result in, or consent to the imposition of, additional Impositions without Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , in each case, Tenant is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement. Impositions imposed or assessed in respect of any tax-fiscal period occurring (in whole or in part) prior to the Commencement Date, if any, shall be Tenant’s obligation to pay or cause to be paid.

44





4.2     Utilities and Other Matters . Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, oil, water and other utilities used in the Leased Property.

4.3     Compliance Certificate . Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, promptly following Landlord’s receipt thereof, any bills received by Landlord for items required to be paid by Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, Impositions, utilities and insurance. Promptly upon request of Landlord (but so long as no Event of Default is continuing no more frequently than one time per Fiscal Quarter), Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a certification stating that all or a specified portion of Impositions, utilities, insurance premiums or, to the extent specified by Landlord, any other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder that have, in each case, come due prior to the date of such certification have been paid (or that such payments are being contested in good faith by Tenant in accordance herewith) and specifying the portion of the Leased Property to which such payments relate.
4.4     Impound Account . At Landlord’s option following the occurrence and during the continuation of a monetary Tenant Event of Default (to be exercised by thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant), Tenant shall be required to deposit, at the time of any payment of Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the sum of (i) Tenant’s estimated annual real and personal property taxes required pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord), and (ii) Tenant’s estimated annual insurance premium costs pursuant to Article XIII hereof (as reasonably determined by Landlord). Such amounts shall be applied to the payment of the obligations in respect of which said amounts were deposited, on or before the respective dates on which the same or any of them would become due. The reasonable cost of administering such impound account shall be paid by Tenant. Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be deemed to affect any other right or remedy of Landlord hereunder.
ARTICLE V

NO TERMINATION, ABATEMENT, ETC.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, Tenant shall remain bound by this Lease in accordance with its terms. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease as to all or any portion of the Leased Property other than by reason of an Event of Default. Without limitation of the preceding sentence, the respective obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall not be affected by reason of, except as expressly set forth in Articles XIV and XV , (i) any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof from whatever cause, or any Condemnation of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof or, discontinuance of any service or utility servicing the same; (ii) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon, Tenant’s use of the Leased Property, including any Capital Improvement or any portion thereof or the interference with such use by any Person or by reason of eviction by paramount title; (iii) any claim that Tenant has or might have against Landlord by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by Landlord hereunder or under any other agreement between Landlord and Tenant or to which Landlord and Tenant are parties; (iv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, consolidation, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other proceedings affecting Landlord or any assignee or transferee of Landlord; or (v) for any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing. Tenant hereby specifically waives all rights arising from any occurrence whatsoever which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law (a) to modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or (b) which may entitle Tenant to any abatement, deduction, reduction, suspension or deferment of or defense, counterclaim, claim or set-off against the Rent or other sums payable by Tenant hereunder, except in each case as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article V shall preclude Tenant from bringing a separate action against Landlord for any matter described in the foregoing clauses (ii) , (iii) or (v) and Tenant

45





is not waiving other rights and remedies not expressly waived herein. Tenant's agreement that, except as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, any eviction by paramount title as described in item (ii) above shall not affect Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, shall not in any way discharge or diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other insurance, and, to the extent the recovery thereof is not necessary to compensate Landlord for any damages incurred by any such eviction, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for any sums recovered by Landlord under any such policy of title or other insurance in respect of any such eviction up to the maximum amount paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Article V and Article XIV hereof in respect of any such eviction or the duration thereof, and Landlord, upon request by Tenant, shall assign Landlord’s rights under such policies to Tenant provided such assignment does not adversely affect Landlord’s rights under any such policy and provided further, that Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such assignment except to the extent such liability, cost or expense arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

(b)     Each of the Parties covenants and agrees, subject to Section 6.1(d) , not to (i) file any income tax return or other associated documents, (ii) file any other document with or submit any document to any governmental body or authority, or (iii) enter into any written contractual arrangement with any Person, in each case that takes a position other than that this Lease is a “true lease” with Landlord as owner of the Leased Property (except as expressly set forth below) and Tenant as the tenant of the Leased Property.  For U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, Landlord and Tenant agree that (x) Landlord shall be treated as the owner of the Leased Property eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 or 168 of the Code with respect to the Leased Property excluding the Leased Property described in clauses (y) and (z) below, (y) Tenant shall be treated as owner of, and eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 or 168 of the Code with respect to, all Tenant Capital Improvements (including, for avoidance of doubt and for purposes of this sentence, Tenant Material Capital Improvements) and Material Capital Improvements funded by Landlord pursuant to a Landlord MCI Financing that is treated as a loan for such income tax purposes, and (z) Tenant shall be treated as owner of, and eligible to claim depreciation deductions under Sections 167 and 168 of the Code with respect to any Leased Improvements (related to any capital improvement projects ongoing as of the Commencement Date for which fifty percent (50%) or less of the costs of such projects have been paid or accrued as of the Commencement Date (the completion of such capital improvement projects being an obligation of Tenant at no cost or expense to Landlord). For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord shall be treated as having received from the Debtors on the Commencement Date, as a capital contribution together with the transfer of the Leased Property to Landlord pursuant to the Bankruptcy Plan, an obligation of Tenant (at no cost or expense to Landlord) to complete any Leased Improvements related to any capital improvement projects ongoing as of the Commencement Date for which more than fifty percent (50%) of the costs of such projects have been paid or accrued as of the Commencement Date.

(c)     If, notwithstanding (i) the form and substance of this Lease, (ii) the intent of the Parties, and (iii) the language contained herein providing that this Lease shall at all times be construed, interpreted and applied to create an indivisible lease of all of the Leased Property, any court of competent jurisdiction finds that this Lease is a financing arrangement, then this Lease shall be considered a secured financing agreement and Landlord’s title to the Leased Property shall constitute a perfected first priority lien in Landlord’s favor on the Leased Property to secure the payment and performance of all the obligations of Tenant hereunder (and to that end, Tenant hereby grants, assigns and transfers to Landlord a security interest in all right, title or interest in or to any and all of the Leased Property, as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of Tenant’s obligations hereunder). In such event, Tenant (and each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee) authorizes Landlord, at the expense of Tenant, to make any filings or take other actions as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or advisable in order to effect fully this Lease or to more fully perfect or renew the rights of Landlord, and to subordinate to Landlord the lien of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, with respect to the Leased Property (it being understood that nothing in this Section 6.1(c) shall affect the rights of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Article XVII hereof). At any time and from time to time upon the request of Landlord, and at the expense of Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts as Landlord may reasonably request in order to effect fully this Section 6.1(c) or to more fully perfect or renew the rights of Landlord with respect to the Leased Property as described in this Section 6.1(c) . If Tenant should reasonably conclude that, as a result of a change in law or GAAP accounting standards, or a change in agency interpretation thereof, GAAP or the SEC require treatment different from that set forth in Section 6.1(b) for applicable non-tax purposes, then (x) Tenant shall promptly give prior Notice to Landlord, accompanied by a written statement that references the applicable pronouncement that controls such treatment and contains a brief description and/or analysis that sets forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which Tenant reached such conclusion, and (y) notwithstanding Section 6.1(b) and this Section 6.1(c) , Tenant may comply with such requirements.
(d)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that, as of the Commencement Date, for GAAP purposes this Lease is not expected to be treated as a “true lease” and that the Parties will prepare Financial Statements consistent with GAAP (and for purposes of any SEC or other similar governmental filing purposes), as applicable.
(e)     Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Rent is the fair market rent for the use of the Leased Property and was agreed to by Landlord and Tenant on that basis, and the execution and delivery of, and the performance by Tenant of its obligations under, this Lease does not constitute a transfer of all or any part of the Leased Property, but rather the creation of the Leasehold Estate subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
(f)     Tenant waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization of this Lease as anything other than a true lease of the Leased Property. Tenant stipulates and agrees (1) not to challenge the validity, enforceability or characterization of this Lease of the Leased Property as a true lease, and (2) not to assert or take or omit to take any action inconsistent with the agreements and understandings set forth in Section 1.2 , Section 3.5 or this Section 6.1 . The expressions of intent, the waivers, the representations and warranties, the covenants, the agreements and the stipulations set forth in this Section 6.1 are a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease.
6.2     Ownership of Tenant’s Property . Tenant shall, during the entire Term, (a) own (or lease) and maintain (or cause its Subsidiaries, if any, to own (or lease) and maintain) on the Leased Property adequate and sufficient Tenant’s Property, (b) maintain (or cause its Subsidiaries, if any, to maintain) all of such Tenant’s Property in good order, condition and repair, in all cases as shall be necessary and appropriate in order to operate the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use in material compliance with all applicable licensure and certification requirements and in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and Gaming Regulations, and (c) abide by (or cause its Subsidiaries, if any, to abide by) the terms and conditions of, and not in any way cause a termination of, the Omnibus Agreement. If any of Tenant’s Property requires replacement in order to comply with the foregoing, Tenant shall replace (or cause a Subsidiary to replace) it with similar property of the same or better quality at Tenant’s (or such Subsidiary’s) sole cost and expense. Subject to the foregoing and the other express terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant and its Subsidiaries, if any, may sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of Tenant’s Property in their discretion in the ordinary course of their business and Landlord shall thereafter have no rights to such sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of Tenant’s Property. In the case of any such Tenant’s Property that is leased (rather than owned) by Tenant (or its Subsidiaries, if any), Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts

47





to ensure that any agreements entered into after the Commencement Date pursuant to which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries, if any) leases such Tenant’s Property are assignable to third parties in connection with any transfer by Tenant (or its Subsidiaries, if any) to a replacement lessee or operator at the end of the Term. To the extent not transferred to a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI hereof (and subject to the rights of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee under Article XVII ), Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property from the Leased Property at the end of the Term. Any Tenant’s Property left on the Leased Property at the end of the Term whose ownership was not transferred to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee or assignee that entered into or succeeded to a New Lease pursuant to the terms hereof or to a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI hereof shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and shall become the property of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but without limitation of Tenant’s express rights to effect replacements, make dispositions or grant liens with respect to Tenant’s Property under this Section 6.2 , Tenant shall own, hold and/or lease, as applicable, all of the material Tenant’s Property relating to the Leased Property.

Landlord acknowledges that operation of the Leased Property for its Primary Intended Use generally may require a Gaming License under applicable Gaming Regulations and that without such a license, if applicable, neither Landlord nor Landlord REIT may operate, control or participate in the conduct of the gaming operations at the Facility. Tenant acknowledges that operation of the Facility for its Primary Intended Use generally may require a Gaming License under

48





applicable Gaming Regulations and that without such a license, if applicable, Tenant may not operate, control or participate in the conduct of the gaming operations at the Facility.
(b)     Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste with respect to the Facility, including on or to the Leased Property (and, without limitation, to the Capital Improvements) or cause or permit any nuisance thereon or, except as required by law, knowingly take or suffer any action or condition that will diminish in any material respect, the ability of the Leased Property to be used as a Gaming Facility (or otherwise for the Primary Intended Use) after the Expiration Date.
(c)     Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (i) initiate or support any limiting change in the permitted uses of the Leased Property (or to the extent applicable, limiting zoning reclassification of the Leased Property); (ii) seek any variance under existing land use restrictions, laws, rules or regulations (or, to the extent applicable, zoning ordinances) applicable to the Leased Property or the use of the Leased Property in any manner that adversely affects (other than to a de minimis extent) the value or utility of the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use; (iii) execute or file any subdivision plat or condominium declaration affecting the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or institute, or permit the institution of, proceedings to alter any tax lot comprising the Leased Property or any portion thereof; or (iv) knowingly permit or suffer the Leased Property or any portion thereof to be used by the public or any Person in such manner as might make possible a claim of adverse usage or possession or of any implied dedication or easement ( provided that the proscription in this clause (iv) is not intended to and shall not restrict Tenant in any way from complying with any obligation it may have under applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, Gaming Regulations, to afford to the public access to the Leased Property or any portion thereof). Without limiting the foregoing, (1) Tenant will not impose or permit the imposition of any restrictive covenants, easements or other encumbrances upon the Leased Property (including, subject to the last paragraph of Section 16.1 , any restriction, covenant, easement or other encumbrance which Tenant may otherwise impose or permit to be imposed pursuant to the provisions of any Permitted Exception Document) without Landlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided , that , Landlord is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement, and (2) other than any liens or other encumbrances granted to a Fee Mortgagee, Landlord will not enter into, amend or otherwise modify agreements that encumber the Leased Property (including the Property Documents) without Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided , that , Tenant is given reasonable opportunity to participate in the process leading to such agreement, amendment or other modification. Landlord agrees it will not withhold consent to utility easements and other similar encumbrances made in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business conducted on the Leased Property in accordance with the Primary Intended Use, provided the same does not adversely affect in any material respect the use or utility of the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use. Nothing in the foregoing is intended to vitiate or supersede Tenant’s right to enter into Permitted Leasehold Mortgages or Landlord’s right to enter into Fee Mortgages in each case as and to the extent provided herein.
(d)     Intentionally Omitted.
(e)     Subject to Article XII regarding permitted contests, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly (i) comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements affecting the Facility and the business conducted thereat, including those regarding the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Property or any portion thereof (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property whether or not compliance therewith may require structural changes in any of the Leased Improvements or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, and (ii) procure, maintain and comply in all material respects with all Gaming Regulations and Gaming Licenses, and other authorizations required for the use of the Leased Property (including all Capital Improvements) and Tenant’s Property for the applicable Primary Intended Use and any other use of the Leased Property (and Capital Improvements then being made) and Tenant’s Property, and for the proper erection, installation, operation and maintenance of the Leased Property and Tenant’s Property. In an emergency involving an imminent threat to human health and safety or damage to property, or in the event of a breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Section 7.2 which is not cured within any applicable cure period set forth herein, Landlord or its representatives (and any Fee Mortgagee) may, but shall not be obligated to, enter upon the Leased Property (and, without limitation, all Capital Improvements) (upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant, except in the case of emergency, and Tenant shall be permitted to have Landlord or its representatives accompanied by a

49





representative of Tenant) and take such reasonable actions and incur such reasonable costs and expenses to effect such compliance as it deems advisable to protect its interest in the Leased Property, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Landlord in connection with such actions.

(a)     This Lease, to the extent affecting and solely with respect to the Ground Leased Property, is and shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and conditions of the Ground Leases and to all liens, rights and encumbrances to which the Ground Leases are subject or subordinate. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant has reviewed and agreed to all of the terms and conditions of the Ground Leases in effect as of the Commencement Date as listed on Schedule 2 attached hereto. Tenant hereby agrees that (x) Tenant shall comply with all provisions, terms and conditions of the Ground Leases in effect as of the Commencement Date as listed on Schedule 2 and, subject to Section 7.3(g) and Section 7.3(h) , any amendments or modifications thereto and any new Ground Leases, in each case except to the extent such provisions, terms and conditions (1) apply solely to Landlord, (2) are not susceptible of being performed (or if breached, are not capable of being cured) by Tenant, and (3) in the case of the Ground Leases in effect as of the Commencement Date, are expressly set forth in the copies of such Ground Leases that were furnished to Landlord by Tenant on or prior to the Commencement Date (provisions, terms and conditions satisfying clauses (1) through (3) , “ Landlord Specific Ground Lease Requirements ”), and (y) Tenant shall not do, or (except with respect to Landlord Specific Ground Lease Requirements) fail to do, anything that would cause any violation of the Ground Leases. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Tenant acknowledges that it shall be obligated to (and shall) pay, as part of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all monetary obligations imposed upon Landlord as the lessee under any and all of the Ground Leases as and when due thereunder, including, without limitation, any rent and additional rent payable thereunder and shall, upon request, provide satisfactory proof evidencing such payments to Landlord, (ii) to the extent Landlord is required to obtain the written consent of the lessor under any applicable Ground Lease (in each case, the “ Ground Lessor ”) to alterations of or the subleasing of all or any portion of the Ground Leased Property pursuant to any Ground Lease, Tenant shall likewise obtain the applicable Ground Lessor’s written consent to alterations of or the sub-subleasing of all or any portion of the Ground Leased Property (in each case, to the extent the same is permitted hereunder), and (iii) (without limitation of the Insurance Requirements hereunder) Tenant shall carry and maintain general liability, automobile liability, property and casualty, worker’s compensation, employer’s liability insurance and such other insurance, if any, in amounts and with policy provisions, coverages and certificates as required of Landlord as tenant under any applicable Ground Lease. The foregoing is not intended to vitiate or supersede Landlord’s rights as lessee under any Ground Lease, and, without limitation of the preceding portion of this sentence or of any other rights or remedies of Landlord hereunder, in the event Tenant fails to comply with its obligations with respect to Ground Leases as described herein (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods thereunder), Landlord shall have the right (but without any obligation to Tenant or any liability for failure to exercise such right), following written notice to Tenant and the passage of a reasonable period of time (except to the extent the failure is of a nature such that it is not practicable for Landlord to provide such prior written notice, in which event Landlord shall provide written notice as soon as practicable) to cure such failure, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with curing such failure. The parties acknowledge that the Ground Leases on the one hand, and this Lease on the other hand, constitute separate contractual arrangements among separate parties and nothing in this Lease shall vitiate or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties to the Ground Leases, and nothing in the Ground Leases shall vitiate or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto pursuant to this Lease (except as specifically set forth in this Section 7.3 ).
(b)     Subject to Section 7.3(c) below, in the event of cancellation or termination of any Ground Lease for any reason whatsoever whether voluntary or involuntary (by operation of law or otherwise) prior to the expiration date of this Lease, including extensions and renewals granted thereunder (other than the cancellation or termination of a Ground Lease entered into in connection with a sale-leaseback transaction by Landlord (other than if such cancellation or termination resulted from Tenant’s default under this Lease), which cancellation or termination results in the Leased

50





Property leased under such Ground Lease no longer being subject to this Lease), then, this Lease and Tenant’s obligation to pay the Rent and Additional Charges hereunder and all other obligations of Tenant hereunder (other than such obligations of Tenant hereunder that concern solely the applicable Ground Leased Property demised under the affected Ground Lease) shall continue unabated; provided that if Landlord (or any Fee Mortgagee) enters into a replacement lease with respect to the applicable Ground Leased Property on substantially similar terms to those of such cancelled or terminated Ground Lease, then such replacement lease shall automatically become a Ground Lease hereunder and such Ground Leased Property shall remain part of the Leased Property hereunder. Nothing contained in this Lease shall create, or be construed as creating, any privity of contract or privity of estate between Ground Lessor and Tenant.
(c)     With respect to any Ground Leased Property, the Ground Lease for which has an expiration date (taking into account any renewal options exercised thereunder as of the Commencement Date or hereafter exercised) prior to the expiration of the Term (taking into account any exercised renewal options hereunder), this Lease shall expire solely with respect to such Ground Leased Property concurrently with such Ground Lease expiration date (taking into account the terms of the following sentences of this Section 7.3(c) ). There shall be no reduction in Rent or Required Capital Expenditures by reason of such expiration with respect to, and the corresponding removal from this Lease of, any such Ground Leased Property. Landlord (as ground lessee) shall be required to exercise all renewal options contained in each Ground Lease so as to extend the term thereof ( provided , that Tenant shall furnish to Landlord written notice of the outside date by which any such renewal option must be exercised in order to validly extend the term of any such Ground Lease; such notice shall be delivered no earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the earliest date any such option may be validly exercised and no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the outside date by which such option must be validly exercised, which notice shall be followed by a second notice from Tenant to Landlord of such outside date, such notice to be furnished to Landlord no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the outside date), and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of Landlord’s exercise of such renewal option. With respect to any Ground Lease that otherwise would expire during the Term, Tenant, on Landlord’s behalf, shall have the right to negotiate for a renewal or replacement of such Ground Lease with the third-party ground lessor, on terms satisfactory to Tenant (subject, (i) to Landlord’s reasonable consent with respect to the provisions, terms and conditions thereof which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Landlord, and (ii) in the case of any such renewal or replacement that would extend the term of such Ground Lease beyond the Term, to Landlord’s sole right to approve any such provisions, terms and conditions that would be applicable beyond the Term).
(d)     Nothing contained in this Lease amends, or shall be construed to amend, any provision of the Ground Leases.
(e)     Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties, the Ground Lessor, any master lessor to Ground Lessor and any other party entitled to be indemnified by Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Ground Lease from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with the Facility and/or this Lease with respect to which such party is entitled to indemnification by Landlord pursuant to the terms of any Ground Lease, and from and against all costs, attorneys’ fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon to the extent provided in the applicable Ground Lease; and in case any such action or proceeding be brought against any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties, any Ground Lessor or any master lessor to Ground Lessor or any such party by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord or any of its Affiliates or such other Landlord Indemnified Party, such Ground Lessor or such master lessor to Ground Lessor or any such party, shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the party or parties indemnified pursuant to this paragraph or the Ground Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties, the Ground Lessor, any master lessor to Ground Lessor or any other party from or against any claims to the extent resulting from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or (ii) the actions of Landlord except if such actions are the result of Tenant’s failure, in violation of this Lease, to act.
(f)     To the extent required under the applicable Ground Lease, Tenant hereby waives any and all rights of recovery (including subrogation rights of its insurers) from the applicable Ground Lessor, its agents, principals, employees and representatives for any loss or damage, including consequential loss or damage, covered by any insurance policy maintained by Tenant, whether or not such policy is required under the terms of the Ground Lease.

51





(g)     Landlord shall not enter into any new ground leases with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof (except as provided by Section 7.3(h) ), or amend, modify or terminate any existing Ground Leases (except as provided by Section 7.3(b) or Section 7.3(c)) , in each case without Tenant’s prior written consent in its reasonable discretion, provided , that , Landlord may amend or modify Ground Leases in a manner that will not adversely affect Tenant ( e.g ., an amendment relating to a period following the end of the Term), and Landlord may acquire the fee interest in the property leased pursuant to any Ground Lease, so long as Tenant’s rights and obligations hereunder are not adversely affected thereby.
(h)     Landlord may enter into new Ground Leases with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof (including pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction) or amend or modify any such Ground Lease, provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than replacement Ground Lease(s) made pursuant to Section 7.3(b) or Ground Lease(s) made pursuant to the final sentence of Section 7.3(c) ), Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any additional or more onerous obligations under such new ground lease or amendment or modification thereof with which Tenant is not otherwise obligated to comply under this Lease (and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to incur any additional monetary obligations (whether for payment of rents under such new Ground Lease or otherwise) in connection with such new Ground Lease) (except to a de minimis extent), unless Tenant approves such additional obligations in its sole and absolute discretion.
7.4     Third-Party Reports .

For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 7.5 and Section 16.1(f) hereof shall continue to apply even if the Facility is being managed pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement.
(b)     If the Facility is subject to a Permitted Facility Sublease pursuant to Section 22.3(v) , then Tenant shall (for so long as the Facility is subject to a Permitted Facility Sublease) cause the Facility to be operated, managed, used, maintained and repaired in all material respects, in accordance with the Applicable Standards.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time during the Term that Tenant is not a Controlled Subsidiary of CEC, this Section 10.3 shall be deemed modified by replacing all references therein to “Fifteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00)” to “Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00)”.    
10.4     Landlord’s Right of First Offer to Fund Material Capital Improvements .
(a)     Landlord’s Right to Submit Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . In advance of commencing any Work in connection with any Material Capital Improvement (provided, for purposes of clarification, that preliminary planning, designing, budgeting, evaluating (including environmental and integrity testing and the like) (collectively, “ Preliminary Studies ”), permitting and demolishing in preparation for such Material Capital Improvement shall not be considered “commencing” for purposes hereof), Tenant shall provide written notice (“ Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice ”) of Tenant’s intent to do so. Upon Landlord’s request, such notice shall be followed by (i) a reasonably detailed description of the proposed Material Capital Improvement, (ii) the then-projected cost of construction of the proposed Material Capital Improvement, (iii) copies of the plans and specifications, permits, licenses, contracts and Preliminary Studies concerning the proposed Material Capital Improvement, to the extent then-available, (iv) reasonable evidence that such proposed Material Capital Improvement will, upon completion, comply with all applicable Legal Requirements, and (v) reasonably detailed information regarding the terms upon which Tenant is considering seeking financing therefor, if any. To the extent in Tenant’s possession or control, Tenant shall provide to Landlord any additional information about such proposed Material Capital Improvements which Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord (or, with respect to financing structured as a loan rather than as ownership of the real property by Landlord with a lease back to Tenant, Landlord’s Affiliate) may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide all (but not less than all) of the financing necessary to fund the applicable Material Capital Improvement (along with related fees and expenses, such as title fees, costs of permits, legal fees and other similar transaction costs) by complying with the option exercise requirements set forth below. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing as to whether Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) is willing to provide financing for such proposed Material Capital Improvement and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) is willing to do so in reasonable detail, in the form of a proposed term sheet (such terms and conditions, “ Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal ”). Upon receipt, Tenant shall have ten (10) days to accept, reject or commence negotiating Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal.
(b)     If Tenant Accepts Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Tenant accepts Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal (either initially or, after negotiation, a modified version thereof) (an “ Accepted MCI Financing Proposal ”) and such financing is actually consummated between Tenant and Landlord (or, if applicable, its Affiliate) as more particularly provided in Section 10.4(f) below (a “ Landlord MCI Financing ”), then, with respect to Material Capital Improvements, as and when constructed, such Material Capital Improvement shall be deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes except as specifically provided in Section 6.1(b) hereof (and, without limitation, such Material Capital Improvements shall be surrendered to (and all rights therein shall be relinquished in favor of) Landlord upon the Expiration Date).
(c)     If Landlord Declines to Make Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Landlord declines or fails to timely submit Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal, Tenant shall be permitted to either (1) use then-existing available financing or, subject to Article XVII , enter into financing arrangements with any lender, preferred equity holder and/or other third-party financing source (a “ Third‑Party MCI Financing ”) for such Material Capital Improvement or (2) use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, provided , that if Tenant has not used then-existing, or entered into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing (or commenced such Material Capital Improvement utilizing Cash) by the date that is nine (9) months following delivery of Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice, then, prior to entering into any such Third‑Party MCI Financing and/or commencing such Material Capital Improvement, Tenant shall again be required to send Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice seeking financing from Landlord (on the terms contemplated by this Section 10.4 ).
(d)     If Tenant Declines Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal . If Landlord timely submits Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal and Tenant rejects or fails to accept or commence negotiating Landlord’s MCI Financing

56





Proposal within the applicable 10‑day period (or, following commencing negotiating said proposal, Tenant notifies Landlord of Tenant’s decision to cease such discussions), then, subject to the remaining terms of this paragraph, Tenant shall be permitted to either (1) use then-existing, or, subject to Article XVII , enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing for such Material Capital Improvement (subject to the following proviso) or (2) use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, provided , that Tenant may not use then-existing, or enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing, except in each case on terms that are, taken as a whole, economically more advantageous to Tenant than those offered under Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal. In determining if financing is economically more advantageous, consideration may be given to, among other items, (x) pricing, amortization, length of term and duration of commitment period of such financing; (y) the cost, availability and terms of any financing sufficient to fund such Material Capital Improvement and other expenditures which are material in relation to the cost of such Material Capital Improvement (if any) which are intended to be funded in connection with the construction of such Material Capital Improvement and which are related to the use and operation of such Material Capital Improvement and (z) other customary considerations. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable evidence of the terms of any such financing. If Tenant has not used then-existing, or entered into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing (or commenced such Material Capital Improvement utilizing Cash) by the date that is nine (9) months following receipt of Landlord’s MCI Financing Proposal, then, prior to entering into any such Third‑Party MCI Financing and/or commencing such Material Capital Improvement after such nine (9) month period, Tenant shall again be required to send Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice seeking financing from Landlord (on the terms contemplated by this Section 10.4 ). For purposes of clarification, Tenant may use Cash to finance any applicable Material Capital Improvement (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to provide Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice).
(e)     Ownership of Material Capital Improvements Not Financed by Landlord . If Tenant constructs a Material Capital Improvement utilizing Third‑Party MCI Financing or Cash in accordance with Sections 10.4(c) or (d) (such Material Capital Improvement being sometimes referred to in this Lease as a “ Tenant Material Capital Improvement ”), then, (A) as and when constructed, such Material Capital Improvement shall be deemed part of the Leased Property for all purposes except as specifically provided in Section 6.1(b) hereof, (B) upon any termination of this Lease prior to the Stated Expiration Date as a result of a Tenant Event of Default (except in the event a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee has exercised its right to obtain a New Lease and complies in all respects with Section 17.1(f) and any other applicable provisions of this Lease), such Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Landlord without any reimbursement by Landlord to Tenant, and (C) upon the Stated Expiration Date, such Material Capital Improvements shall be transferred to Tenant; provided , however , upon written notice to Tenant at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, Landlord shall have the option to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements in an amount equal to the Fair Market Ownership Value thereof, and, if Landlord elects to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements, any amount due to Tenant for such reimbursement shall be credited against any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as of the Stated Expiration Date and any remaining portion of such amount shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant on the Stated Expiration Date. If Landlord fails to deliver such written notice electing to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date, or otherwise does not consummate such reimbursement at least sixty (60) days prior to the Stated Expiration Date (other than as a result of Tenant’s acts or omissions in violation of this Lease), then Landlord shall be deemed to have elected not to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements. If Landlord elects or is deemed to have elected not to reimburse Tenant for such Tenant Material Capital Improvements in accordance with the foregoing sentence, Tenant shall have the option to either (1) prior to the Stated Expiration Date, remove such Tenant Material Capital Improvements and restore the affected Leased Property to the same or better condition existing prior to such Tenant Material Capital Improvement being constructed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in which event such Tenant Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Tenant, or (2) leave the applicable Tenant Material Capital Improvements at the Leased Property at the Stated Expiration Date, at no cost to Landlord, in which event such Tenant Material Capital Improvements shall be owned by Landlord. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant Material Capital Improvements not funded by Landlord pursuant to Section 10.4 and not removed by Tenant in accordance herewith shall be included in the “Leased Property” under any lease entered into with a Successor Tenant pursuant to Article XXXVI , and shall be taken into account in determining Successor Tenant Rent.
(f)     Landlord MCI Financing . In the event of an Accepted MCI Financing Proposal, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the following prior to any advance of funds under such Landlord MCI Financing:

57





(i)     any information, certificates, licenses, permits or documents reasonably requested by Landlord which are necessary and obtainable to confirm that Tenant will be able to use the Material Capital Improvements upon completion thereof in accordance with the Primary Intended Use, including all required federal, state or local government licenses and approvals;
(ii)     an officer’s certificate and, if requested, a certificate from Tenant’s Architect providing appropriate backup information, setting forth in reasonable detail the projected or actual costs related to such Material Capital Improvements;
(iii)     except to the extent covered by the amendment referenced in clause (iv) below, a construction loan and/or funding agreement (and such other related instruments and agreements), in a form reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, reflecting the terms of the Landlord MCI Financing, setting forth the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal, and without additional requirements on Tenant (including, without limitation, additional bonding or guaranty requirements) except those which are reasonable and customary and consistent in all respects with this Section 10.4 and the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal;
(iv)     except to the extent covered by the construction loan and/or funding agreement referenced in clause (iii) above, an amendment to this Lease, in a form reasonably agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, which may include, among other things, an increase in the Rent (in amounts as agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal), and other provisions as may be necessary or appropriate;
(v)     a deed conveying title to Landlord to any additional Land acquired for the purpose of constructing the Material Capital Improvement, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances except those approved by Landlord, and accompanied by (x) an owner’s policy of title insurance insuring the Fair Market Ownership Value of fee simple or leasehold (as applicable) title to such Land and any improvements thereon, free of any exceptions other than liens and encumbrances that do not materially interfere with the intended use of the Leased Property or are otherwise approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (y) an ALTA survey thereof;
(vi)     if Landlord obtains a lender’s policy of title insurance in connection with such Landlord MCI Financing, for each advance, endorsements to any such policy of title insurance reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord (i) updating the same without any additional exception except those that do not materially affect the value of such land and do not interfere with the intended use of the Leased Property, or as may otherwise be permitted under this Lease, or as may be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) increasing the coverage thereof by an amount equal to the then-advanced cost of the Material Capital Improvement; and
(vii)     such other billing statements, invoices, certificates, endorsements, opinions, site assessments, surveys, resolutions, ratifications, lien releases and waivers and other instruments and information which are reasonable and customary and consistent in all respects with this Section 10.4 and the terms of the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal.
In the event that (1) Tenant is unable, for reasons beyond Tenant’s reasonable control, to satisfy any of the requirements set forth in this Section 10.4(f) (and Landlord is unable or unwilling to waive the same), (2) Landlord and Tenant are unable (despite good faith efforts continuing for at least sixty (60) days after agreement on the Accepted MCI Financing Proposal) to agree on any of the requirements of, or the form of any document required under, this Section 10.4(f) , or (3) Landlord fails or refuses to consummate the Landlord MCI Financing and/or advance funds thereunder, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.4 , Tenant shall be entitled to use then-existing, or, subject to Article XVII , enter into a new, Third‑Party MCI Financing for such Material Capital Improvement or use Cash to pay for such Material Capital Improvement, without any requirement to send a further Tenant’s MCI Intent Notice to Landlord, provided, that such Material Capital Improvement shall be treated hereunder as a Tenant Material Capital Improvement, unless the circumstances described in clause (1) shall have occurred.

58





10.5     Minimum Capital Expenditures .
(a)     Minimum Capital Expenditures .
(i)     Annual Minimum Cap Ex Requirement . During each full Fiscal Year during the Term, commencing upon the first (1st) full Fiscal Year during the Term, measured as of the last day of each such Fiscal Year, on a collective basis for CEOC and its subsidiaries, Tenant and Other Tenants shall expend Capital Expenditures and Other Capital Expenditures in an aggregate amount equal to no less than the Annual Minimum Cap Ex Amount (the “ Annual Minimum Cap Ex Requirement ”).
(ii)     Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement . During each full Fiscal Year during the Term, commencing upon the first (1st) full Fiscal Year during the Term, measured as of the last day of each such Fiscal Year, Tenant shall expend Capital Expenditures with respect to the Leased Property in an aggregate that, when combined with the amount of Non-CPLV Capital Expenditures expended with respect to the Non-CPLV Leased Property, is equal to at least one percent (1%) of the sum of (a) the Net Revenue from the Facility for the prior Fiscal Year plus (b) the Net Revenue (as defined in the Non-CPLV Lease) from the Non-CPLV Facility for the prior Fiscal Year, on Capital Expenditures and Non-CPLV Capital Expenditures that, in each case, constitute installation or restoration and repair or other improvements of items with respect to (x) the Leased Property under this Lease and (y) the Non-CPLV Leased Property under the Non-CPLV Lease (the “ Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement ”). In the event of expiration, cancellation or termination of any Ground Lease for any reason whatsoever whether voluntary or involuntary (by operation of law or otherwise), except for a cancellation or termination due to Landlord’s failure to extend the term thereof where Landlord was required to do so hereunder, prior to the expiration date of this Lease, including extensions and renewals granted thereunder, then, for purposes of calculating the amount of Net Revenue from the Facility for determining the Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement, the Net Revenue attributable to the portion of the Leased Property subject to such Ground Lease for the Lease Year immediately prior to such expiration, cancellation or termination of such Ground Lease thereafter shall continue to be included in the calculation of Net Revenue (except to the extent such Ground Lease is replaced by a replacement Ground Lease for all or substantially all of such portion of the Leased Property).
(iii)     Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement A . During each full Triennial Period during the Term, commencing upon the first (1st) full Triennial Period during the Term, measured as of the last day of each such Triennial Period, on a collective basis for CEOC and its subsidiaries, Tenant and Other Tenants shall expend Capital Expenditures and Other Capital Expenditures in an aggregate amount equal to no less than the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A (the “ Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement A ”).
(iv)     Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B . During each full Triennial Period during the Term, commencing upon the first (1st) full Triennial Period during the Term, measured as of the last day of each such Triennial Period, Tenant shall expend Capital Expenditures in an aggregate amount that, when combined with the amount of Non-CPLV Capital Expenditures expended by Other Tenants under the Non-CPLV Lease, is equal to no less than the greater of (a) the amount which, when added to the amount of Other Capital Expenditures (other than Non-CPLV Capital Expenditures) expended by the Other Tenants (other than the Other Tenants under the Non-CPLV Lease) toward the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B (as defined in the Other Leases) during the same time period, equals the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B, but in no event more than the Triennial Allocated Minimum Cap Ex Amount B Ceiling, and (b) the Triennial Allocated Minimum Cap Ex Amount B Floor (the “ Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B ”).
(v)     Partial Periods . If the initial or final portion of the Term of this Lease is a partial calendar year (i.e., the Commencement Date of this Lease is other than January 1 or the Expiration Date is other than December 31, as applicable; any such partial calendar year, a “ Stub Period ”), then the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A and Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B shall be adjusted as follows: (a) the initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period under this Lease shall be expanded so that it covers both the Stub Period and the first (1st) (or final, as applicable) full period of three calendar years during the Term, (b) the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A for such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period shall be equal

59





to (x) Four Hundred Ninety-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($495,000,000.00), plus (y) the product of the Stub Period Multiplier (as defined below) multiplied by One Hundred Sixty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($165,000,000.00) (and (i) the Services Co Capital Expenditures allocated by Services Co to Tenant or CEOC during such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period shall not exceed (x) Seventy-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00) plus (y) the product of the Stub Period Multiplier multiplied by Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00), and (ii) the Capital Expenditures in respect of the London Clubs during such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period shall not exceed (x) Twelve Million and No/100 Dollars ($12,000,000.00) plus (y) the product of the Stub Period Multiplier multiplied by Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00)), (c) the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B for such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Cap Ex Calculation Period shall be equal to (x) Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00), plus (y) the product of the Stub Period Multiplier multiplied by One Hundred Sixteen Million Six Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six and No/100 Dollars ($116,666,666.00), and (d) the Triennial Allocated Minimum Cap Ex Amount B Floor for such expanded initial (or final, as applicable) Triennial Period shall remain unchanged from the amounts then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (1) the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A is reduced in accordance with the definition thereof, then (A) the Four Hundred Ninety-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($495,000,000.00) in the foregoing clause (b)(x) shall be modified to reflect the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A then in effect at the time of determination and (B) the One Hundred Sixty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($165,000,000.00) in the foregoing clause (b)(y) shall be modified to reflect the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount A then in effect divided by three (3), and (2) the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B is reduced in accordance with the definition thereof, then (A) the Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00) in the foregoing clause (c)(x) shall be modified to reflect the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B then in effect at the time of determination and (B) the One Hundred Sixteen Million Six Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six and No/100 Dollars ($116,666,666.00) in the foregoing clause (c)(y) shall be modified to reflect the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Amount B then in effect divided by three (3). The term “ Stub Period Multiplier ” means a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of days occurring in a Stub Period, and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Expiration Date of this Lease is other than the last day of a Fiscal Year, then Tenant’s compliance with each of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements during the applicable periods preceding such Expiration Date that would otherwise end after such Expiration Date shall be measured as of such Expiration Date and be subject to the prorations set forth above.
(vi)     Acquisitions of Material Property . If any real property having a value greater than Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) (other than the Chester Property or the “Leased Property (Octavius)” (as defined in the CPLV Lease)) is acquired by Landlord or its Affiliate and included in this Lease or an Other Lease as part of the Leased Property or Other Leased Property (as applicable), then (A) the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements shall be adjusted and (B) the amount of Services Co Capital Expenditures which may be credited against Capital Expenditures requirements hereunder and under the Other Leases shall be proportionately increased, in each case, as may be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant in connection with such acquisition and the inclusion of such property as Leased Property or Other Leased Property hereunder or thereunder.
(vii)     Dispositions of Material Property . In the event of a partial or total termination of this Lease or partial or total termination of an Other Lease or the disposition of any Material Leased Property or Material London Property, in each case for which the Minimum Cap Ex Amounts are to be decreased in accordance herewith, and such termination or disposition occurs on any day other than the first (1st) day of a Fiscal Year, then, for purposes of determining Required Capital Expenditures and adjusting the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, as applicable, such termination or disposition and the associated reduction in the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements each shall be deemed to have occurred on the first (1st) day of the then-current Fiscal Year, such that Capital Expenditures with respect to the applicable terminated or disposed property shall not be counted toward the calculation of Required Capital Expenditures for such entire Fiscal Year, and the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements shall be adjusted (as applicable) to reflect such termination or disposition as applicable and the associated reduction in the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for such entire Fiscal Year.

60





(viii)     Application of Capital Expenditures . For the avoidance of doubt: (A) Required Capital Expenditures counted toward satisfying one of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements also shall count (to the extent applicable) toward satisfying the other Minimum Cap Ex Requirements except to the extent otherwise provided herein; (B) expenditures with respect to any property that is not included as Leased Property or Other Leased Property under this Lease or an Other Lease (as applicable) shall not constitute “Capital Expenditures” nor count toward the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for purposes of the Leased Property Tests; (C) expenditures with respect to any property acquired by CEOC or its subsidiaries after the Commencement Date which is not included as Leased Property or Other Leased Property under this Lease or an Other Lease (as applicable) shall not constitute “Capital Expenditures” nor count toward the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for purposes of the Leased Property Tests or the All Property Tests, and (D) expenditures with respect to any property (other than the London Clubs) which is not included as Leased Property or Other Leased Property under this Lease or an Other Lease (as applicable) shall not constitute “Capital Expenditures” or count towards the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for purposes of the All Property Tests.
(ix)     Unavoidable Delays . In the event an Unavoidable Delay occurs during any full Fiscal Year or full Triennial Period during the Term that delays Tenant’s or CEOC’s ability to perform Capital Expenditures prior to the expiration of such period, the applicable period for satisfying the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements applicable to such Fiscal Year or Triennial Period (as applicable) during which such Unavoidable Delay occurred shall be extended, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay affects Tenant’s or CEOC’s ability to perform the Capital Expenditures, up to a maximum extension in each instance of one (1) Fiscal Year (for the Annual Minimum Cap Ex Requirement and the Annual Minimum Per-Lease B&I Cap Ex Requirement) or one (1) Triennial Period (for the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement A and the Triennial Minimum Cap Ex Requirement B). For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s obligation to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements during any period during which an Unavoidable Delay did not occur shall not be extended as a result of the occurrence of an Unavoidable Delay during a prior period.
(x)     Certain Remedies . The Parties acknowledge that Tenant’s agreement to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements as required in this Lease is a material inducement to Landlord’s agreement to enter into this Lease, the MLSA and the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements and, accordingly, if Tenant fails to expend Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve) as and when required by this Lease and then, further, fails to cure such failure within sixty (60) days of receipt of written notice of such failure from Landlord, then the same shall be a Tenant Event of Default hereunder, and without limitation of any of Landlord’s other rights and remedies, Landlord shall have the right to seek the remedy of specific performance to require Tenant to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve). Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation of Guarantor’s obligations under the MLSA (and as more particularly provided therein), Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of Tenant to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (or deposit funds into the Cap Ex Reserve) as provided in this Lease in each case constitutes a part of the monetary obligations of Tenant that are guaranteed by the Guarantor under the MLSA and, with respect to Required Capital Expenditures required to be spent during the Term, shall survive termination of this Lease.
(b)     Cap Ex Reserve .
(i)     Deposits in Lieu of Expenditures . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, if Tenant and Other Tenants do not expend Capital Expenditures and Other Capital Expenditures sufficient to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, then, so long as, as of the last date when such Minimum Cap Ex Requirements may be satisfied hereunder, there are Cap Ex Reserve Funds (as defined below) and Cap Ex Reserve Funds (as defined in each Other Lease) on deposit in the Cap Ex Reserve (as defined below) or in the Cap Ex Reserve (as defined in each Other Lease) in an aggregate amount at least equal to such deficiency, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in breach or default of its obligations hereunder to satisfy the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements, provided that Tenant (or Other Tenants, as applicable), shall spend such amounts so deposited in the Cap Ex Reserve (as defined herein or in an Other Lease, as applicable) within six (6) months after the last date when the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements to which such amounts relate may be satisfied hereunder (subject to extension in the event of an Unavoidable Delay during such six (6) month

61





period, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay affects Tenant’s ability to perform the Capital Expenditures). For the avoidance of doubt, any funds disbursed from the Cap Ex Reserve and spent on Capital Expenditures as described in this Section shall be applied to the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for the period for which such funds were deposited (and shall be deemed to be the funds that have been in the Cap Ex Reserve for the longest period of time) and shall not be applied to the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for the subsequent period in which they are actually spent.
(ii)     Deposits into Cap Ex Reserve . Tenant may, at its election, at any time, deposit funds (the “ Cap Ex Reserve Funds ”) into an Eligible Account held by Tenant (the “ Cap Ex Reserve ”). If required by Fee Mortgagee or Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall (and, if applicable, Tenant shall cause Manager to) enter into a customary and reasonable control agreement for the benefit of Fee Mortgagee and Landlord with respect to the Cap Ex Reserve. Tenant shall not commingle Cap Ex Reserve Funds with other monies held by Tenant or any other party. All interest on Cap Ex Reserve Funds shall be for the benefit of Tenant and added to and become a part of the Cap Ex Reserve and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in the Cap Ex Reserve. Tenant shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Cap Ex Reserve Funds credited or paid to Tenant.
(iii)     Disbursements from Cap Ex Reserve . Tenant shall be entitled to use Cap Ex Reserve Funds solely for the purpose of paying for (or reimbursing Tenant for) the cost of Capital Expenditures. Subject to compliance by Tenant with the provisions of the Fee Mortgage Documents to the extent Tenant is required to comply therewith pursuant to Article XXXI hereof, Landlord shall permit disbursements to Tenant of Cap Ex Reserve Funds from the Cap Ex Reserve to pay for Capital Expenditures or to reimburse Tenant for Capital Expenditures, within ten (10) days following written request from Tenant, which request shall specify the amount of the requested disbursement and a general description of the type of Capital Expenditures to be paid or reimbursed using such Cap Ex Reserve Funds. Tenant shall not make a request for disbursement from the Cap Ex Reserve (x) more frequently than once in any calendar month nor (y) in amounts less than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). Any Cap Ex Reserve Funds remaining in the Cap Ex Reserve on satisfaction of the Minimum Cap Ex Requirements for which such Cap Ex Reserve Funds were deposited or on the Expiration Date shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant, provided that Landlord shall have the right to apply Cap Ex Reserve Funds remaining on the Expiration Date against any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord as of the Expiration Date and/or the sum of any remaining Required Capital Expenditures required to have been incurred prior to the Expiration Date.
(iv)     Security Interest in Cap Ex Reserve Funds . Tenant grants to Landlord a first-priority security interest in the Cap Ex Reserve and all Cap Ex Reserve Funds, as additional security for performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall have the right to collaterally assign the security interest granted to Landlord in the Cap Ex Reserve and Cap Ex Reserve Funds to any Fee Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, (i) Landlord may not foreclose upon the lien on the Cap Ex Reserve and Cap Ex Reserve Funds, and Fee Mortgagee may not apply the Cap Ex Reserve Funds against the Fee Mortgage, in each case prior to the occurrence of both (x) the Landlord’s Enforcement Condition and (y) the termination of this Lease by Landlord pursuant to Section 16.2(x) hereof, (ii) any time during which a Tenant Event of Default is continuing, Fee Mortgagee may apply Cap Ex Reserve Funds toward the payment of Capital Expenditures incurred by Tenant, and (iii) Landlord shall have the right to use Cap Ex Reserve Funds as provided in Section 10.5(e) (in which event, such expenditures of Cap Ex Reserve Funds shall be deemed Capital Expenditures of Tenant for purposes of the Required Capital Expenditures). Landlord acknowledges that a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee may have a Lien on the Cap Ex Reserve; provided no such Lien in favor of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall be granted unless such Lien is subject and subordinate to the first priority lien thereon in favor of Landlord on terms substantially similar to the “Intercreditor Agreement” (as defined in the Non-CPLV Lease).
(c)     Capital Expenditures Report . Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month during the Term, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a report, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C  setting forth, with respect to such month, on an unaudited, Facility-by-Facility basis, (A) revenues for the Leased Property and the Other Leased Property, (B) Capital Expenditures with respect to the Leased Property, (C) Other Capital Expenditures

62





with respect to the Other Leased Property, and (D) aggregate Services Co Capital Expenditures on a year-to-date basis and the portion thereof allocated to CEOC, Tenant and its subsidiaries (and a description of the methodology by which such allocation was made). Landlord shall keep each such report confidential in accordance with Section 41.22 of this Lease.
(d)     Annual Capital Budget . Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, for informational purposes only, a copy of the annual capital budget for the Facility for each Fiscal Year, in each case (x) contemporaneously with Other Tenant’s delivery to the applicable landlord of the applicable annual capital budget for such Fiscal Year pursuant to the Other Lease, and (y) not later than fifty-five (55) days following the commencement of the Fiscal Year to which such annual capital budget relates. For the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of Tenant’s Capital Expenditure requirements pursuant to Section 10.5(a) , Tenant shall not be required to comply with such annual capital budget and it shall not be a breach or default by Tenant hereunder in the event Tenant deviates from such annual capital budget.
(e)     Self Help . In order to facilitate Landlord’s completion of any work, repairs or restoration of any nature that are required to be performed by Tenant in accordance with any provisions hereof, upon the occurrence of the earlier of (i) an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder, and (ii) any default by Tenant in the performance of such work under this Lease or as required by any applicable Additional Fee Mortgage Requirement, then, so long as (x) Landlord has provided Tenant thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and Tenant has not cured such default within such thirty day period) and (y) an “Event of Default” has occurred under the Fee Mortgage Documents, Landlord shall have the right, from and after the occurrence of a default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under any applicable Fee Mortgage Documents, to enter onto the Leased Property and perform any and all such work and labor necessary as reasonably determined by Landlord to complete any work required by Tenant hereunder or expend any sums therefor and/or employ watchmen to protect the Leased Property from damage (collectively, the “ Landlord Work ”). In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right: (i) to use any funds in the Cap Ex Reserve for the purpose of making or completing such Landlord Work; (ii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iii) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Leased Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Landlord Work, or for clearance of title; (iv) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Tenant which may be required by any of the contract documents; (v) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Leased Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Leased Property; and (vi) to do any and every act which Tenant might do in its own behalf to complete the Landlord Work. Nothing in this Lease shall: (1) make Landlord responsible for making or completing any Landlord Work; (2) require Landlord to expend funds in addition to the Cap Ex Reserve to make or complete any Landlord Work; (3) obligate Landlord to proceed with any Landlord Work; or (4) obligate Landlord to demand from Tenant additional sums to make or complete any Landlord Work.
ARTICLE XI

63





payment of such sums shall not be postponed under any related contract for more than sixty (60) days after the completion of the action giving rise to such lien unless being contested in accordance with Article XII and such reserve or other appropriate provisions as shall be required by law or GAAP shall have been made therefor and no foreclosure or similar remedies with respect to such liens has been instituted and no notice as to the institution or commencement thereof have been issued except to the extent such institution or commencement is stayed no later than twenty (20) days after such notice is issued; (2) any such liens are in the process of being contested as permitted by Article XII ; or (3) in the event any foreclosure action is commenced under any such lien, Tenant shall immediately remove, discharge or bond over such lien; (viii) any liens created by Landlord; (ix) liens related to equipment leases or equipment financing for Tenant’s Property which are used or useful in Tenant’s business on the Leased Property or any portion thereof, provided that the payment of any sums due under such equipment leases or equipment financing shall either (1) be paid as and when due in accordance with the terms thereof, or (2) be in the process of being contested as permitted by Article XII (and provided that a lienholder’s removal of any such Tenant’s Property from the Leased Property shall be subject to all applicable provisions of this Lease, and, without limitation, Tenant or such lienholder shall restore the Leased Property from any damage effected by such removal); (x) (1) liens granted as security for the obligations of Tenant and its Affiliates under a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (and the documents relating thereto) or (2) liens granted as security for the obligations of Subtenant under a financing arrangement that would be a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (disregarding for this purpose, however, the requirement that the liens created by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage encumber the entirety of Tenant’s Leasehold Estate, so long as the applicable subleasehold mortgage covers all of the applicable Subtenant’s subleasehold estate (other than items that are not capable of being mortgaged and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis)) if entered into by Tenant (and the documents relating thereto); provided , however , in no event shall the foregoing be deemed or construed to permit Tenant to encumber the Leasehold Estate (or a Subtenant to encumber its subleasehold interest) in the Leased Property or any portion thereof (other than, in the case of Tenant, to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, or in the case of Subtenant, to a lender or other provider of financing under a financing arrangement that would be a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (disregarding for this purpose, however, the requirement that the liens created by a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage encumber the entirety of Tenant’s Leasehold Estate, so long as the applicable subleasehold mortgage covers all of the applicable Subtenant’s subleasehold estate (other than items that are not capable of being mortgaged and that, in the aggregate, are de minimis)) if entered into by Tenant (provided that no such lien granted by a Subtenant to a lender or other provider of financing shall encumber Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Property, including by operation of law or otherwise), or otherwise to the extent expressly permitted hereunder), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; and provided further that upon request Tenant shall be required to provide Landlord with fully executed copies of any and all Permitted Leasehold Mortgages; and (xi) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, easements, rights-of-way, restrictions (including zoning restrictions), covenants, encroachments, protrusions and other similar charges or encumbrances, and minor title deficiencies on or with respect to the Leased Property or any portion thereof, in each case whether now or hereafter in existence, not individually or in the aggregate materially interfering with the conduct of the business on the Leased Property for the Primary Intended Use, taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that Tenant has not granted any liens in favor of Landlord as security for its obligations hereunder except as otherwise expressly provided under this Lease, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to prohibit the issuance of a lien on the Equity Interests in Tenant (it being agreed that any foreclosure by a lien holder on such interests in Tenant shall be subject to the restrictions on transfers of interests in Tenant and Change of Control set forth in Article XXII ) or to prohibit Tenant from pledging (A) its Accounts and other Tenant’s Property as collateral (1) in connection with financings of equipment and other purchase money indebtedness or (2) to secure Permitted Leasehold Mortgages, or (B) its Accounts and other property of Tenant (other than Tenant’s Property); provided that, Tenant shall in no event pledge to any Person that is not granted a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage hereunder any of Tenant’s Property to the extent that such Tenant’s Property cannot be removed from the Leased Property without (I) damaging or impairing the Leased Property (other than in a de minimis manner), (II) impairing in any material respect the operation of the Facility for its Primary Intended Use, or (III) impairing in any material respect Landlord’s or any Successor Tenant’s ability to acquire the Gaming Assets at the expiration or termination of the Term in accordance with Section 36.1 (after giving effect to the repayment of any indebtedness encumbering the Gaming Assets and release of any liens thereon as required by such Section 36.1 ).

Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Landlord in connection with any such contest and any loss resulting therefrom, except to the extent resulting from actions independently taken by Landlord (other than actions taken by Landlord at Tenant’s direction or with Tenant’s consent).
ARTICLE XIII

INSURANCE
13.1     General Insurance Requirements . During the Term, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, maintain the minimum kinds and amounts of insurance described below. Such insurance shall apply to the ownership, maintenance, use and operations related to the Leased Property and all property located in or on the Leased Property (including Capital Improvements and Tenant’s Property). Except for policies insured by Tenant’s captive insurers, all policies shall be written with insurers authorized to do business in all states where Tenant operates and shall maintain A.M Best ratings of not less than “A-” “X” or better in the most recent version of Best’s Key Rating Guide. In the event that any of the insurance companies’ ratings fall below the requirements set forth above, Tenant shall have one hundred eighty (180) days within which to replace such insurance company with an insurance company that qualifies under the requirements set forth above. It is understood that Tenant may utilize so called Surplus lines companies and will adhere to the standard above.
(a)     Property Insurance .
(i)     Property insurance shall be maintained on the Leased Property (including barges and vessels used for gaming), Capital Improvements and Tenant’s Property against loss or damage under a policy with coverage not less than that found on Insurance Services Office (ISO) “Causes of Loss – Special Form” and ISO “Building and Personal Property Form” or their equivalent forms (e.g., an “all risk” policy), in a manner

65





consistent with the commercially reasonable practices of similarly situated companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar location. Such property insurance policy shall be in an amount not less than Two Billion and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000,000.00) and shall apply on a replacement cost basis; provided, that Tenant shall have the right (i) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by earthquake (including earth movement) to a minimum amount of the projected ground up loss with a 500-year return period (as determined annually by an independent firm using RMS catastrophe modeling software or equivalent, and taking into account all locations insured under Tenant’s property insurance, including other locations owned, leased or managed by Tenant), and (ii) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by named windstorms per occurrence to a minimum amount of the projected ground up loss (including storm surge) with a 500-year return period (as determined annually by an independent firm using RMS catastrophe software or equivalent, and taking into account all locations insured under Tenant’s property insurance, including other locations owned, leased or managed by Tenant); (iii) to limit maximum insurance coverage for loss or damage by flood to a minimum amount of Two Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($250,000,000.00), to the extent commercially available; provided, further, that in the event the premium cost of any earthquake, flood, named windstorm or terrorism peril (as required by Section 13.1(b) ) coverages are available only for a premium that is more than two and one-half (2.5) times the premium paid by Tenant for the third (3rd) year preceding the date of determination for the insurance policy contemplated by this Section 13.1(a) , then Tenant shall be entitled and required to purchase the maximum amount of insurance coverage it reasonably deems most efficient and prudent to purchase for such peril and Tenant shall not be required to spend additional funds to purchase additional coverages insuring against such risks; and provided, further, that certain property coverages other than earthquake, flood and named windstorm may be sub-limited as long as each sub-limit is commercially reasonable and prudent as determined by Tenant and to the extent that the amount of such sub-limit is less than the amount of such sub-limit in effect as of the Commencement Date, such sub-limit is approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
(ii)     Such property insurance policy shall include, subject to Section 13.1(a)(i) above: (i) agreed amount coverage and/or a waiver of any co-insurance; (ii) building ordinance coverage (ordinance or law) including loss of the undamaged portions, the cost of demolishing undamaged portions, and the increased cost of rebuilding; and also including, but not limited to, any non-conforming structures or uses; (iii) equipment breakdown coverage (boiler and machinery coverage); (iv) debris removal; and (v) business interruption coverage in an amount not less than two (2) years of Rent and containing an Extended Period of Indemnity endorsement for an additional minimum six months period. Subject to Section 13.1(a)(i) , the property policy shall cover: wind/windstorm, earthquake/earth movement and flood and any sub-limits applicable to wind (e.g. named storms), earthquake and flood are subject to the approval of Landlord and Fee Mortgagee. Such policy shall (i) name Landlord as an additional insured and “loss payee” for its interests in the Leased Property and Rent; (ii) name each Fee Mortgagee and Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as an additional insured, and (iii) include a New York standard mortgagee clause in favor of each Fee Mortgagee and Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any property insurance loss adjustment settlement associated with the Leased Property shall require the written consent of Landlord, Tenant, and each Fee Mortgagee (to the extent required under the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents) unless the amount of the loss net of the applicable deductible is less than One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) in which event no consent shall be required.
(b)     Property Terrorism Insurance . Property Insurance shall be maintained for acts of terrorism covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA) and acts of terrorism and sabotage not certified by TRIPRA, with limits no less than One Billion Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,500,000,000.00) per occurrence for acts of terrorism covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA) and Two Hundred Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($225,000,000.00) for acts of terrorism and sabotage not certified by TRIPRA. Both coverages shall apply to property damage and business interruption. The provisions relating to loss payees, additional insureds and mortgagee clauses set forth in Section 13.1(a) above shall also apply to the coverages required by this Section 13.1(b) . If Tenant uses one or more of its captive insurers to provide this insurance coverage, the captive(s) must secure and maintain reinsurance from one or more reinsurers for those amounts which are not insured by the Federal Government, and which are in excess of a commercially reasonable policy deductible. Such reinsurers are subject to the same minimum financial ratings set forth

66





in Section 13.1 . In the event TRIPRA is not extended or renewed, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.6 ) upon replacement insurance requirements applicable to terrorism related risks.
(c)     Flood Insurance . With respect to any portion of the Leased Property that is security under a Fee Mortgage, if at any time the area in which such Leased Property is located is designated a “Special Flood Hazard Area” as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), Tenant shall obtain separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program. Such flood insurance may be provided as part of Section 13.1(a) Property Insurance above.
(d)     Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance. Workers compensation insurance as required by applicable state statutes and Employers Liability. This insurance shall include endorsements applicable to (i) Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act; and (ii) Maritime Coverage (including transportation, wages, maintenance and cure, if not otherwise covered by Section 13.1(g) Marine Liability Insurance).
(e)     Commercial General Liability Insurance. For bodily injury, personal injury, advertising injury and property damage on an occurrence form with coverage no less than ISO Form CG 0001 or equivalent. This policy shall include the following coverages: (i) Liquor Liability; (ii) Named Peril/Time Element Pollution, to the extent commercially available to operators of properties similar to the subject Leased Property; (iii) Watercraft Liability, to the extent commercially available to operators of properties similar to the subject Leased Property; (iv) Terrorism Liability; and (v) a Separation of Insureds Clause.
(f)     Business Auto Liability Insurance . For bodily injury and property damage arising from the ownership, maintenance or use of owned, hired and non-owned vehicles (ISO Form CA 00 01 or equivalent).
(g)     Marine Liability Insurance . If Tenant utilizes watercraft in its operations or special events, for bodily injury and property damage (Protection and Indemnity) on an occurrence form. If not covered by the other insurance policies required by this Article XIII , this policy shall include the following coverages: (i) Liquor Liability; (ii) Pollution Liability; and (iii) injuries to captains and crew. To the extent commercially available at a reasonable price, this policy shall contain a Separation of Insureds clause. This coverage may be met through the combination of primary marine liability and excess liability coverage.
(h)     Excess Liability Insurance. Excess Liability coverage shall be maintained over the required Employers Liability, Commercial General Liability, Business Auto Liability and Marine Liability policies in an amount not less than Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00) per occurrence and in the aggregate annually (where applicable). The annual aggregate limit applicable to Commercial General Liability shall apply per location. Tenant will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain coverage as broad as the underlying insurance, including Terrorism Liability coverage, so long as such coverage is available at a commercially reasonable price.
(i)     Pollution Liability Insurance. For claims arising from the discharge, dispersal release or escape or any irritant or contaminant into or upon land, any structure, the atmosphere, watercourse or body of water, including groundwater. This shall include on and off-site clean up and emergency response costs and claims arising from above ground and below ground storage tanks. If this policy is provided on a “claims made” basis (i) the retroactive date shall remain as June 26, 1998 for legal liability; and (ii) coverage shall be maintained for two (2) years after the Term.
13.2     Name of Insureds . Except for the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(d) , all insurance provided by Tenant as required by this Article XIII shall include Landlord (including specified Landlord related entities as directed by Landlord) as a loss payee (solely with respect to the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(a) , Section 13.1(b) and Section 13.1(c) ), named insured or additional insured without restrictions beyond the restrictions that apply to Tenant and may include any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as an additional insured; provided, however, the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(i) and Section 13.1(g) shall be permitted to include Landlord (including specified Landlord related entities as directed by Landlord) as an additional insured without the requirement that such policy expressly include language that such coverage is without restrictions beyond the restrictions that apply to Tenant. The coverage provided to the additional insureds by Tenant’s insurance policies must be at least as broad as that provided

67





to the first named insured on each respective policy. For avoidance of doubt, Landlord looks exclusively to Tenant’s insurance policies to protect itself from claims arising from the Leased Property and Capital Improvements. The required insurance policies shall protect Landlord against Landlord’s acts with respect to the Leased Property in the same manner that they protect Tenant against its acts with respect to the Leased Property. Except for the insurance required pursuant to Section 13.1(d) with respect to Workers Compensation and Employers Liability, the required insurance policies shall be endorsed to include others as additional insureds as required by Landlord and/or the Fee Mortgage Documents and/or Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee. The insurance protection afforded to all insureds (whether named insureds or additional insureds) shall be primary and shall not contribute with any insurance or self-insurance programs maintained by such insureds (including deductibles and self-insured retentions).
13.3     Deductibles or Self-Insured Retentions . Tenant may self-insure such risks that are customarily self-insured by companies of established reputation engaged in the same general line of business in the same general area. All increases in deductibles and self-insured retentions (collectively referred to as “Deductibles” in this Article XIII ) that apply to the insurance policies required by this Article XIII are subject to approval by Landlord, with such approval not to be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant is solely responsible for all Deductibles related to its insurance policies. The Deductibles Tenant has in effect as of the Commencement Date satisfy the requirements of this Section as of the Commencement Date.
13.4     Waivers of Subrogation . Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Article XIII and policies issued by Tenant’s captive insurers (including related Deductibles), it being understood that (i) Tenant shall look solely to its insurance for the recovery of such loss or damage; and (ii) such insurers shall have no rights of subrogation against Landlord. Each insurance policy shall contain a clause or endorsement which waives all rights of subrogation against Landlord, Fee Mortgagees and other entities or individuals as reasonably requested by Landlord.
13.5     Limits of Liability and Blanket Policies . The insured limits of liability maintained by Tenant shall be selected by Tenant in a manner consistent with the commercially reasonable practices of similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar location as the Leased Property. The limits of liability Tenant has in effect as of the Commencement Date satisfy the requirements of this Section as of the Commencement Date. The insurance required by this Article XIII may be effected by a policy or policies of blanket insurance and/or by a combination of primary and excess insurance policies (all of which may insure additional properties owned, operated or managed by Tenant or its Affiliates), provided each policy shall be satisfactory to Landlord, acting reasonably, including, the form of the policy, provided such policies comply with the provisions of this Article XIII .
13.6     Future Changes in Insurance Requirements .
(a)     In the event one or more additional locations become Leased Property or Capital Improvements during the Term, whether through acquisition, lease, new construction or other means, Landlord may reasonably amend the insurance requirements set forth in this Article XIII to properly address new risks or exposures to loss, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13.6(a) . For example, for construction projects, different forms of insurance may be required, such as builders risk, and Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon insurance requirements applicable to the construction contractors. Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith to exchange information (including proposed construction agreements) and ascertain appropriate insurance requirements prior to Tenant being required to amend its insurance under this Section 13.6(a) ; provided , however , that any revision to insurance shall only be required if the revised insurance would be customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar location as the Leased Property. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days of the original notice of requested revision, the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 34.2 shall control.
(b)     In the event that (1) the operations of Tenant change in the future, and Tenant believes adjustments in Deductibles, insured limits or coverages are warranted, (2) Tenant desires to increase one or more Deductibles, reduce limits of liability below those in place as of the Commencement Date or materially reduce coverage, or (3) not more than once during any twelve (12) month period (or more frequently in connection with a financing or refinancing of a Fee Mortgage), Landlord reasonably determines that the insurance carried by Tenant is not, for any reason (whether

68





by reason of the type, coverage, deductibles, insured limits, the reasonable requirements of Fee Mortgagees, or otherwise) commensurate with insurance customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar location, the party seeking the change will advise the other party in writing of the requested insurance revision. Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith to determine whether the requested insurance revision shall be made; provided , however , that any revision to insurance shall only be made if the revised insurance would be customarily maintained by similarly situated tenants engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar location as the Leased Property. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days of the original notice of requested revision, the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 34.2 shall control. Solely with respect to the insurance required by Section 13.1(h) above, in no event shall the outcome of an insurance revision pursuant to this Section 13.6 require Tenant to carry insurance in an amount which exceeds the product of (i) the amounts set forth in Section 13.1(h) hereof and (ii) the CPI Increase.
13.7     Notice of Cancellation or Non-Renewal . Each required insurance policy shall contain an endorsement requiring thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, Fee Mortgagees and Leasehold Mortgagees of any cancellation or non-renewal. Ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be required for cancellation for non-payment of premium. Tenant shall secure replacement coverage to comply with the stated insurance requirements and provide new certificates of insurance to Landlord and others as directed by Landlord.
13.8     Copies of Documents . Tenant shall provide (i) binders evidencing renewal coverages no later than the applicable renewal date of each insurance policy required by this Article XIII ; and (ii) copies of all insurance policies required by this Article XIII (including policies issued by Tenant’s captive insurers which are in any way related to the required policies, including policies insuring Deductibles), within one hundred and twenty days (120) after inception date of each, and if additionally required, within ten (10) days of written request by Landlord. In addition, Tenant will supply documents that are related to the required insurance policies on January 1 of each calendar year during the Term and three (3) years afterwards, and as otherwise requested in writing by Landlord. Such documents shall be in formats reasonably acceptable to Landlord and include, but are not limited to, (i) statements of property value by location, (ii) risk modeling reports (e.g., named storms and earthquake), (iii) actuarial reports, (iv) loss/claims reports, (v) detailed summaries of Tenant’s insurance policies and, as respects Tenant’s captive insurers the most recent audited financial statements (including notes therein) and reinsurance agreements. Landlord shall hold the contents of the documents provided by Tenant as confidential; provided that Landlord shall be entitled to disclose the contents of such documents to its insurance consultants, attorneys, accountants and other agents in connection with the administration and/or enforcement of this Lease, and (ii) to any Fee Mortgagees, Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees and potential lenders and their respective representatives, and (iii) as may be required by applicable laws. Landlord shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such person or entity to enter into a written agreement to maintain the confidentiality thereof for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant.
13.9     Certificates of Insurance . Certificates of insurance, evidencing the required insurance, shall be delivered to Landlord on the Commencement Date, annually thereafter, and upon written request by Landlord. If required by any Fee Mortgagee, Tenant shall provide endorsements and written confirmations that all premiums have been paid in full.
13.10     Other Requirements . Tenant shall comply with the following additional provisions:
(a)     In the event of a catastrophic loss or multiple losses at multiple properties owned or leased directly or indirectly by CEC and that are insured by CEC, then in the case (x) that at least one such property affected by the catastrophic loss(es) or multiple losses is the Facility or an Other Facility (in either case, a “ Subject Facility ”) and (y) at least one other such property affected by the catastrophic loss(es) or multiple losses is not a Subject Facility, if (A) such catastrophic loss or multiple losses exhaust any per occurrence or aggregate insurance limits under the property or terrorism insurance policies required by this Article XIII and any such property that is not a Subject Facility is (w) directly or indirectly managed but not directly or indirectly owned by CEC, (x) not wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by CEC, (y) subject to a ground lease with a landlord party that is neither Landlord nor its affiliates, or (z) is financed on a stand-alone basis, then the insurance proceeds received in connection with such catastrophic loss or multiple losses shall be allocated pro-rata based on the insured values of the impacted properties, with no property receiving an allocation exceeding the loss suffered by such property, and (B) if such catastrophic loss or multiple losses

69





exhaust any per occurrence or aggregate insurance limits under the property or terrorism insurance policies required by this Article XIII and no property that is not a Subject Facility is a property described in clauses (w) through (z) above, the property(ies) that is a Subject Facility shall have first priority to insurance proceeds from the property policy or terrorism policy in connection with such catastrophic loss or multiple losses up to the reasonably anticipated amount of loss with respect to the Subject Facility. Any property or terrorism insurance proceeds allocable to a Subject Facility pursuant to clause (B) above shall be paid to Landlord (or the landlord under the Other Lease, as applicable) and applied in accordance with the terms of this Lease (or the Other Lease, as applicable).
(b)     In the event Tenant shall at any time fail, neglect or refuse to insure the Leased Property (including barges and vessels used for gaming) and Capital Improvements, or is not in full compliance with its obligations under this Article XIII , Landlord may, at its election, procure replacement insurance. In such event, Landlord shall disclose to Tenant the terms of the replacement insurance. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such replacement insurance within thirty (30) days after Landlord pays for the replacement insurance. The cost of such replacement insurance shall be reasonable considering the then-current market.

For the avoidance of doubt, any insurance proceeds payable by reason of (i) loss or damage to Tenant’s Property and/or Tenant Material Capital Improvements, or (ii) business interruption shall be paid directly to and belong to Tenant. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property in accordance herewith shall be provided to Tenant. So long as no Tenant Event of Default is continuing, Tenant shall have the right to prosecute and settle insurance claims, provided that, in connection with insurance claims exceeding Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), Tenant shall consult with and involve Landlord in the process of adjusting any insurance claims under this Article XIV and any final settlement with the insurance company for claims exceeding Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00) shall be subject to Landlord’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

70





damage caused by the applicable Casualty Event shall not terminate this Lease; provided , however , that if the applicable Casualty Event shall occur not more than two (2) years prior to the then-Stated Expiration Date and the cost to restore the Facility (excluding for avoidance of doubt any affected Tenant Material Capital Improvements that Tenant is not required to restore) to the condition immediately preceding the Casualty Event, as determined by a mutually approved contractor or architect, would equal or exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Fair Market Ownership Value of the Facility immediately prior to the time of such damage or destruction, then each of Landlord and Tenant shall have the option, exercisable in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Lease, upon written notice to the other Party hereto delivered to such other Party within thirty (30) days of the determination of the amount of damage and the Fair Market Ownership Value of the Facility and, if such option is exercised by either Landlord or Tenant, this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall not be required to restore the Facility and any insurance proceeds payable as a result of the damage or destruction shall be payable in accordance with Section 14.2(c) . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Casualty Event occurs (and/or if the determination of the amount of damage and/or the thirty (30) day period referred to in the preceding sentence is continuing) at a time when Tenant could send a Renewal Notice (provided, for this purpose, Tenant shall be permitted to send a Renewal Notice under Section 1.4 not more than twenty-four (24) months (rather than not more than eighteen (18) months) prior to the then current Stated Expiration Date), if Tenant has elected or elects to exercise the same at any time following Tenant’s receipt of such notice of termination from Landlord, neither Landlord nor Tenant may terminate this Lease under this Section 14.2(a) .
(b)     If the cost to restore the affected Leased Property exceeds the amount of proceeds received from the insurance required to be carried hereunder, then Tenant’s restoration obligations, to the extent required hereunder, shall continue unimpaired, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord that Tenant has (or is reasonably expected to have) available to it any excess amounts needed to restore the Leased Property to the condition required hereunder. Such excess amounts shall be paid by Tenant.
(c)     In the event neither Landlord nor Tenant is required or elects to repair and restore the Leased Property, all insurance proceeds (except business interruption), other than proceeds reasonably attributed to any Tenant Material Capital Improvements (or other property owned by Tenant), which proceeds shall be and remain the property of Tenant, shall be paid to and retained by Landlord (after reimbursement to Tenant for any reasonably-incurred expenses in connection with the subject Casualty Event) free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant except as otherwise specifically provided below in this Article XIV .
(d)     If Tenant fails to complete the restoration of the Facility and gaming operations do not recommence substantially in the same manner as prior to the applicable Casualty Event by the date that is the fourth (4th) anniversary of the date of any Casualty Event (subject to extension in the event of an Unavoidable Delay during such four (4) year period, on a day-for-day basis, for the same amount of time that such Unavoidable Delay delays Tenant’s ability to perform such restoration in accordance with this Section 14.2 ), then, without limiting any of Landlord’s rights and remedies otherwise, all remaining insurance proceeds shall be paid to and retained by Landlord free and clear of any claim by or through Tenant, provided , that , so long as no Tenant Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Landlord agrees to use such remaining proceeds for repair and restoration with respect to such Casualty Event.
(e)     If, and solely to the extent that, the damage resulting from any applicable Casualty Event is not an insured event under the insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant shall not be obligated to restore the Leased Property in respect of the damage from such Casualty Event.
14.3     No Abatement of Rent . Except as expressly provided in this Article XIV , this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and all Additional Charges required by this Lease shall remain unabated during any period following a Casualty Event.
14.4     Waiver . Tenant waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Leased Property but such waiver shall not affect any contractual rights granted to Tenant under this Lease.

16.3     Damages .
(a)     If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in writing upon a Tenant Event of Default during the Term, Tenant shall forthwith (x) pay to Landlord all Rent due and payable under this Lease to and including the date of such termination (together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due), and (y) pay on demand all damages to which Landlord shall be entitled at law or in equity, provided , however , Landlord’s damages with regard to unpaid Rent from and after the date of termination shall equal, as liquidated and agreed current damages in respect thereof, the sum of: (A) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that (if the Lease had not been terminated) would have been payable hereunder after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (B) (x) the Rent which (if the Lease had not been terminated) would have been payable hereunder from the time of award until the then Stated Expiration Date, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%), less (y) the Rent loss from the time of the award until the then Stated Expiration Date that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, discounted to present value by applying a discount rate equal to the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). As used in clause (A) , the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Overdue Rate from the date the applicable amount was due. As used in clauses (A) and (B) , Variable Rent that would have been payable after termination for the remainder of the Term shall be determined based on: (1) if the date of termination occurs during a Variable Rent Payment Period, the Variable Rent amount payable during such Variable Rent Payment Period (if the Lease had not been terminated), and (2) if the date of termination occurs prior to the commencement of any Variable Rent Payment Period, the Variable Rent that (if the Lease had not been terminated) would be payable after termination for the remainder of the Term, assuming Net Revenue for the balance of the Term equals Net Revenue for the Fiscal Period ending immediately prior to the date of termination (it being understood the foregoing calculation of damages for unpaid Rent applies only to the amount of unpaid Rent damages owed to Landlord pursuant to Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder and does not prohibit or otherwise shall not limit Landlord from

76





seeking damages for any indemnification or any other obligations of Tenant hereunder, with all such rights of Landlord reserved).
(b)     Notwithstanding anything otherwise set forth herein, if Landlord chooses not to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property (whether or not Landlord terminates this Lease) and has not been paid damages in accordance with Section 16.3(a) , then each installment of Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant to or for the benefit of Landlord under this Lease shall be payable as the same otherwise becomes due and payable, together with, if any such amount is not paid when due, interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when due until paid, and Landlord may enforce, by action or otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Lease (and Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Property and seek damages under Section 16.3(a) , to the extent not already paid for by Tenant under Section 16.3(a) or this Section 16.3(b) ).
(c)     If, as of the date of any termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 16.2(x) , the Leased Property shall not be in the condition in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the same to Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Tenant, shall pay, as damages therefor, the cost (as estimated by an independent contractor reasonably selected by Landlord) of placing the Leased Property in the condition in which Tenant is required to surrender the same hereunder.
16.4     Receiver . Subject to the rights of Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees hereunder, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Tenant Event of Default, and upon commencement of proceedings to enforce the rights of Landlord hereunder, but subject to any limitations of applicable law (including Gaming Regulations), Landlord shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers acceptable to Landlord of the Leased Property and of the revenues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof, pending the outcome of such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.
16.5     Waiver . If Landlord initiates judicial proceedings or if this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to this Article XVI , Tenant waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any right of redemption, re-entry or repossession or similar laws for the benefit of Tenant; and (ii) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability for rent or for debt.
16.6     Application of Funds . Any payments received by Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Tenant Event of Default which are made to Landlord rather than Tenant due to the existence of a Tenant Event of Default shall be applied to Tenant’s obligations in the order which Landlord may reasonably determine or as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements.
16.7     Landlord’s Right to Cure Tenant’s Default . If Tenant shall fail to make any payment or to perform any act required to be made or performed hereunder when due including, without limitation, if Tenant fails to expend any Required Capital Expenditures as required hereunder or fails to complete any work or restoration or replacement of any nature as required hereunder, or if Tenant shall take any action prohibited hereunder, or if Tenant shall breach any representation or warranty comprising Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (and Landlord reasonably determines that such breach could be expected to give rise to an event of default or an indemnification obligation of Landlord under the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents), or Tenant fails to comply with any Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (other than representations and warranties), in all cases, after the expiration of any cure period provided for herein, Landlord, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may, but shall be under no obligation to, make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Tenant (including, in the event of a breach of any such representation or warranty, taking actions to cause such representation or warranty to be true), and may, to the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property for such purpose and take all such action thereon as, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. All sums so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand as an Additional Charge.

16.8     Miscellaneous.
(a)     Suit or suits for the recovery of damages, or for any other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at Landlord’s election, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to await the date whereon this Lease and the Term would have expired by limitation had there been no Tenant Event of Default, reentry or termination.
(b)     No failure by either Party to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant or condition. No agreement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed or complied with by either Party, and no breach thereof, shall be or be deemed to be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the Parties. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, but each and every agreement, term, covenant and condition of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof. In the event Landlord claims in good faith that Tenant has breached any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to seek to enjoin such breach or threatened breach and shall have the right to invoke any rights and remedies allowed at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise as though reentry, summary proceedings or other remedies were not provided for in this Lease.
(c)     Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, each right and remedy of a Party provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Lease.
(d)     Nothing contained in this Article XVI or otherwise shall vitiate or limit Tenant’s obligation to pay Landlord’s attorneys’ fees as and to the extent provided in Article XXXVII hereof, or any indemnification obligations under any express indemnity made by Tenant of Landlord or of any Landlord Indemnified Parties as contained in this Lease.

Furthermore, as a condition to being deemed a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee hereunder, each Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is deemed to acknowledge and agree (and hereby does acknowledge and agree) that (x) any rejection of this Lease in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding will be treated as a Non-Consented Lease Termination (as defined in the MLSA), unless in connection with such rejection of this Lease such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee has acted in accordance with Section 17.1(f) hereof to obtain a New Lease prior to the expiration of the period described therein, (y) such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall not take any action to prevent the rights of Landlord, Manager and Lease Guarantor under Article XXI of the MLSA, including to effect the actions required in connection with a Replacement Structure (as defined therein), and (z) that any foreclosure or realization by any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee pursuant to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or upon Tenant’s interest under this Lease or that would result in a transfer of all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in the Leased Property or this Lease shall in any case be subject to the applicable provisions, terms and conditions of Article XXII hereof.
(b)     Notice to Landlord .
(i)     If Tenant shall, on one or more occasions, mortgage Tenant’s Leasehold Estate pursuant to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and if the holder of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage shall provide Landlord with written notice of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (which notice with respect to any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage not evidenced by a recorded security instrument, in order to be effective, shall also state (or be accompanied by a notice of Tenant stating) the relative priority of all then-effective Permitted Leasehold Mortgages noticed to Landlord under this Section and shall be consented to in writing by all then-existing Permitted Leasehold Mortgagees) together with a true copy of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and the name and address of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, Landlord and Tenant agree that, following receipt of such written notice by Landlord (which notice shall be accompanied by any items required pursuant to Section 17.1(a) above), the provisions of this Section 17.1 shall apply to each such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage. In the event of any assignment of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or in the event of a change of address of a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or of an assignee of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, written notice of such assignment or change of address and of the new name and address shall be provided to Landlord, and the provisions of this Section 17.1 shall continue to apply, provided such assignee is a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.
(ii)     Landlord shall reasonably promptly following receipt of a communication purporting to constitute the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above (and such additional items requested by Landlord pursuant to the first sentence of Section 17.1(b)(iii) ) acknowledge by written notice receipt of such communication as constituting the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above and confirming the status of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as such or, in the alternative, notify Tenant and the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee of the rejection of such communication and any such items as not conforming with the provisions of this Section 17.1 and specify the specific basis of such rejection.
(iii)     After Landlord has received the notice provided for by subsection (b)(i) above, Tenant, upon being requested to do so by Landlord, shall with reasonable promptness provide Landlord with copies of the note or other obligations secured by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgage and any other documents pertinent to the applicable Permitted Leasehold Mortgage reasonably requested by Landlord. With respect to any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage documents not publicly filed or upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall, with reasonable promptness, provide Landlord from time to time with a copy of each material amendment or other modification or supplement to such documents. All recorded documents shall be accompanied by the appropriate recording stamp or other certification of the custodian of the relevant recording office as to their authenticity as true and correct copies of official records and all nonrecorded documents shall be accompanied by a

79





certification by Tenant that such documents are true and correct copies of the originals. From time to time upon being requested to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall also notify Landlord of the date and place of recording and other pertinent recording data with respect to such instruments as have been recorded.
(iv)     Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section 17.1(b) , it is agreed and acknowledged that Tenant’s Initial Financing (and the mortgages, security agreements and/or other loan documents in connection therewith) as of the Commencement Date and Amendment Date shall be deemed a Permitted Leasehold Mortgage (with respect to which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b)(i) ) without the requirement that Tenant or Landlord comply with the initial requirements set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, (but, for the avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s Initial Financing is not relieved of the requirement that it satisfy the requirements of Section 17.1(a) and the last sentence of Section 17.1(b)(i) ). In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties confirm that Tenant shall not be relieved of the requirement to comply with the final three (3) sentences of Section 17.1(b)(iii) with respect to Tenant’s Initial Financing or any other financing with a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee.  
(c)     Default Notice to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee . Landlord, upon providing Tenant any notice of default under this Lease, shall at the same time provide a copy of such notice to every Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b)(i) hereof. No such notice by Landlord to Tenant shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until a copy thereof has been sent, in the manner prescribed in Article XXXV of this Lease, to every such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b)(i) hereof. From and after the date such notice has been sent to a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the same period, with respect to its remedying any default or acts or omissions which are the subject matter of such notice or causing the same to be remedied, as is given Tenant after the giving of such notice to Tenant, plus in each instance, the additional periods of time specified in subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 17.1 to remedy or cause to be remedied the defaults or acts or omissions which are the subject matter of such notice specified in any such notice. Landlord shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee as if the same had been done by Tenant. Tenant authorizes each such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (to the extent such action is authorized under the applicable loan documents to which it acts as a lender, noteholder, investor, agent, trustee or representative) to take any such action at such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s option and does hereby authorize entry upon the Leased Property by the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for such purpose.
(d)     Right to Terminate Notice to Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee . Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Tenant Event of Default shall occur which entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Lease on account of such Tenant Event of Default unless Landlord shall notify every Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee for which notice has been properly provided to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1(b) hereof that the period of time given Tenant to cure such default or act or omission has lapsed and, accordingly, Landlord has the right to terminate this Lease (“ Right to Terminate Notice ”). The provisions of subsection (e) below of this Section 17.1 shall apply if, during (x) the thirty (30) day period following Landlord’s delivery of the Right to Terminate Notice if such Tenant Event of Default is capable of being cured by the payment of money, or (y) the ninety (90) day period following Landlord’s delivery of the Right to Terminate Notice, if such Tenant Event of Default is not capable of being cured by the payment of money, any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall:
(i)     notify Landlord of such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s desire to nullify such Right to Terminate Notice;
(ii)     pay or cause to be paid all Rent, Additional Charges, and other payments (A) then due and in arrears as specified in the Right to Terminate Notice to such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, and (B) which may become due during such thirty (30) or ninety (90) day (as the case may be) period (as and when the same may become due); and

80





(iii)     comply with or in good faith, with reasonable diligence and continuity, commence to comply with all nonmonetary requirements of this Lease then in default and reasonably susceptible of being complied with by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee (e.g., defaults that are not personal to Tenant hereunder); provided , however , that such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall not be required during such ninety (90) day period to cure or commence to cure any default consisting of Tenant’s failure to satisfy and discharge any lien, charge or encumbrance against Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Leased Property or any of Tenant’s other assets that is/are (x) junior in priority to the lien of the mortgage or other security documents held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and (y) would be extinguished by the foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee; and
(iv)     during such thirty (30) or ninety (90) day period, the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall respond, with reasonable diligence, to requests for information from Landlord as to the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee’s (and related lender’s) intent to pay such Rent and other charges and comply with this Lease.
If the applicable default shall be cured pursuant to the terms and within the time periods allowed in this Section 17.1(d) , this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had not defaulted under the Lease. If a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall fail to take all of the actions described in this Section 17.1(d) with respect to a specific Tenant Event of Default for which the Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee was provided notice prior to the deadlines set forth herein, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have no further rights under this Section 17.1(d) or Section 17.1(e) with respect to such Tenant Event of Default.
(e)     Procedure on Default .
(i)     If Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease by reason of any Tenant Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing and a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall have proceeded in the manner provided for by subsection (d) of this Section 17.1 , the applicable cure periods available pursuant to Section 17.1(d) above shall continue to be extended so long as during such continuance:
(1)     such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall pay or cause to be paid the Rent, Additional Charges and other monetary obligations of Tenant under this Lease as the same become due, and continue its good faith efforts to perform or cause to be performed all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease, excepting (A) obligations of Tenant to satisfy or otherwise discharge any lien, charge or encumbrance against Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Leased Property or any of Tenant’s other assets that is/are (x) junior in priority to the lien of the mortgage or other security documents held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and (y) would be extinguished by the foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage that is held by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee and (B) past non-monetary obligations then in default and not reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee; and
(2)     subject to and in accordance with Section 22.2(i) , if not enjoined or stayed pursuant to a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or other judicial order, such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall diligently continue to pursue acquiring or selling Tenant’s interest in this Lease and the Leased Property (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) by foreclosure of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage or other appropriate means and diligently prosecute the same to completion.
(ii)     Without limitation of Tenant’s right to deliver a Renewal Notice, it is agreed that a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee also shall have the right to deliver a Renewal Notice on behalf of Tenant during any period in which such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is complying with Section 17.1(d) or 17.1(e) .
(iii)     If a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee is complying with subsection (e)(i) of this Section 17.1 , upon the acquisition of Tenant’s Leasehold Estate (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) herein by such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee or an assignee thereof permitted by Section 22.2(i) hereof, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if

81





Tenant had not defaulted under this Lease provided that such successor cures all outstanding defaults that can be cured through the payment of money and all other defaults that are reasonably susceptible of being cured as provided in said subsection (e)(i) .
(iv)     No Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee shall be deemed to be an assignee or transferee of this Lease or of the Leasehold Estate hereby created by virtue of the Permitted Leasehold Mortgage so as to require such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, as such, to assume the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder; but the purchaser at any sale of this Lease (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) (including a Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee if it is the purchaser at foreclosure) and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created in any proceedings for the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, or the assignee or transferee of this Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created (or, to the extent applicable, the purchaser of the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) under any instrument of assignment or transfer in lieu of the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, shall be subject to all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Lease including, without limitation, Section 22.2(i) hereof.
(v)     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, any Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee, Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee or other acquirer of the Leasehold Estate of Tenant (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) in accordance with the requirements of Section 22.2(i) of this Lease pursuant to foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other similar proceedings of this Lease may, upon acquiring Tenant’s Leasehold Estate (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant), without further consent of Landlord, (x) sell and assign interests in the Leasehold Estate (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) as and to the extent provided in this Lease, and (y) enter into Permitted Leasehold Mortgages in the same manner as the original Tenant, as and to the extent provided in this Lease, in each case under clause (x) or (y) , subject to the terms of this Lease, including Article XVII and Section 22.2(i) hereof.
(vi)     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, any sale of this Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) in any proceedings for the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, or the assignment or transfer of this Lease and of the Leasehold Estate hereby created (or, to the extent applicable, the direct or indirect interests in Tenant) in lieu of the foreclosure of any Permitted Leasehold Mortgage, shall, solely if and to the extent such sale, assignment or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 22.2(i) hereof, be deemed to be a permitted sale, transfer or assignment of this Lease; provided , that the foreclosing Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or purchaser at foreclosure sale or successor purchaser must either (a) become a party to the MLSA pursuant to Section 11.1 and Section 13.1 of the MLSA (or, in the case of a foreclosure on or transfer of direct or indirect interests in Tenant, Tenant must remain a party to the MLSA) and satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) and Section 22.2(i)(2) through (5) or (b) satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 22.2(i)(1)(A) and Sections 22.2(i)(2) through (5) .

(iii)     such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall pay or cause to be paid to Landlord at the time of the execution and delivery of such New Lease, any and all sums which would at the time of execution and delivery thereof be due pursuant to this Lease but for such rejection or termination (including, for avoidance of doubt, any amounts that become due prior to and remained unpaid as of the date of the Notice of Termination) and, in addition thereto, all reasonable expenses, including reasonable documented attorney’s fees, which Landlord shall have incurred by reason of such rejection or such termination and the execution and delivery of the New Lease and which have not otherwise been received by Landlord from Tenant or other party in interest under Tenant; and
(iv)     such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee shall agree to remedy any of Tenant’s defaults of which said Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee was notified by Landlord’s Notice of Termination (or in any other written notice of Landlord) and which can be cured through the payment of money or, if such defaults cannot be cured through the payment of money, are reasonably susceptible of being cured by Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee.

For the avoidance of doubt, upon such foreclosure and/or the effectuation of such a New Lease in accordance with the provisions, terms and conditions hereof, any such defaults are automatically deemed waived through the effective date of such foreclosure or New Lease as to any such Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee or its Permitted Leasehold Mortgagee Designee, as the new tenant hereunder or under the New Lease, as applicable (it being understood that the provisions of this sentence shall not be deemed to relieve such new tenant of its obligations to comply with this Lease or such New Lease from and after the effective date of such foreclosure or New Lease).

83





proceeds, if any, otherwise payable directly to Tenant (but not such proceeds, if any, payable jointly to Landlord and Tenant or to Landlord, to the Fee Mortgagee or to a third-party escrowee) pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

(b)     As used herein, “ Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements ” means those customary requirements as to the operation of the Leased Property and the business thereon or therein which the Fee Mortgage Documents impose (x) directly upon, or require Landlord (or Landlord’s Affiliate borrower thereunder) to impose upon, the tenant(s) and/or operator(s) of the Leased Property or (y) directly upon Landlord, but which, by reason of the nature of the obligation(s) imposed and the nature of Tenant’s occupancy and operation of the Leased Property and the business conducted thereupon, are not reasonably susceptible of being performed by Landlord and are reasonably susceptible of being performed by Tenant (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any indebtedness or other obligations evidenced or secured thereby) and, except with respect to the Existing Fee Mortgage (of which Tenant is deemed to have received written notice) of which Tenant has received written notice; provided , however , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements shall not include or impose on Tenant (and Tenant will not be subject to) obligations which (i) are not customary for the type of financing provided under the applicable Fee Mortgage Documents, (ii) increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease to more than a de minimis extent (it being agreed that making payments otherwise payable to Landlord into a “lockbox” account designated by a Fee Mortgagee shall not be deemed to increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under the Lease), (iii) increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease in any material respect (it being agreed that making payments otherwise payable to Landlord into a “lockbox” account designated by a Fee Mortgagee shall not be deemed to increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under the Lease), (iv) diminish Tenant’s rights under this Lease in any material respect or (v) restrict Tenant’s ability to assign, sell, sublet, sub-sublet or transfer this Lease, Tenant’s Leasehold Estate, the Facility or Tenant’s Property, in each case, as otherwise expressly permitted under this Lease, to more than a de minimis extent, or restrict Tenant’s ability to effectuate an L1/L2 Transfer and/or a Permitted Facility Sublease as otherwise expressly permitted under this Lease.
(c)     Any proposed implementation of any additional financial covenants (i.e., a requirement that Tenant must meet certain specified performance tests of a financial nature, e.g., meeting a threshold EBITDAR, Net Revenue, financial ratio or similar test) that are imposed on Tenant shall not constitute Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements (it being understood that Landlord may agree to such financial covenants being imposed in any Fee Mortgage Documents so long as such financial covenants will not impose additional obligations on Tenant to comply therewith). For the avoidance of doubt, Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements may include (to the extent consistent with the foregoing definition of Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements) requirements of Tenant to:
(i)     make Rent payments into “lockbox accounts” maintained for the benefit of Fee Mortgagee; and/or
(ii)     subject to this Section 31.3 , perform other actions consistent with the obligations described in the first sentence of this Section 31.3 .
(d)     In the event Tenant breaches its obligations to comply with Additional Fee Mortgagee Requirements as described herein (without regard to any notice or cure period under the Fee Mortgage Documents and without regard to whether a default or event of default has occurred as a result thereof under the Fee Mortgage Documents), Landlord shall have the right, following the failure of Tenant to cure such breach within twenty (20) days from receipt of written notice to Tenant from Landlord of such breach (except to the extent the breach is of a nature such that it is not practicable for Landlord to provide such prior written notice, in which event Landlord shall provide written notice as soon as practicable), to cure such breach, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with curing such breach.

107





(e)     To the extent of any conflict between the terms and provisions of any agreement to which Landlord, Tenant and Fee Mortgagee are parties and the terms and provisions of this Section 31.3 , the terms and provisions of such agreement shall govern and control in accordance with its terms.

If Tenant fails to diligently pursue, implement and complete any such cure, repair, closure, detoxification, decontamination or other remediation, which failure continues after notice and expiration of applicable cure periods, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to carry out such action and to recover from Tenant all of Landlord’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

Tenant’s indemnity hereunder shall survive the termination of this Lease, but in no event shall Tenant’s indemnity apply to Environmental Costs incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to matters first occurring after the later of (x) the end of the Term and (y) the date upon which Tenant shall have vacated the Leased Property and surrendered the same to Landlord, in each case to the extent such matters are not or were not caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant in breach of this Lease.
Without limiting the scope or generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly agrees that, in the event of a breach by Tenant in its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.3 that is not cured within any applicable cure period, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to (directly or indirectly, before or during (but not if first occurring after) the Term) the following:

(b)     bringing the Leased Property into compliance with all Legal Requirements, and

If any claim is made by Landlord for reimbursement for Environmental Costs incurred by it hereunder, Tenant agrees to pay such claim promptly, and in any event to pay such claim within sixty (60) calendar days after receipt by Tenant of written notice thereof and any amount not so paid within such sixty (60) calendar day period shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate from the date due to the date paid in full.
32.5     Environmental Inspections . In the event Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant is in breach of its obligations under Sections 32.1 through 32.4 , Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, during normal business hours and upon not less than five (5) Business Days written notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency that constitutes an imminent threat to human health or safety or damage to property, in which event Landlord shall undertake reasonable efforts to notify a representative of Tenant as soon as practicable under the circumstances), to conduct an inspection of the Leased Property or any portion thereof (and Tenant shall be permitted to have Landlord or its representatives accompanied by a representative of Tenant) to determine the existence or presence of Hazardous Substances on or about the Leased Property or any portion thereof.

Tenant shall remain liable for any environmental condition related to or having occurred during its tenancy regardless of when such conditions are discovered and regardless of whether or not Landlord conducts an environmental inspection at the termination of this Lease. The obligations set forth in this Article XXXII shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease but in no event shall Article XXXII apply to matters first occurring after the later of (x) the end of the Term and (y) the

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
34.1     Expert Valuation Process . Whenever a determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value is required pursuant to any provision of this Lease, and where Landlord and Tenant have not been able to reach agreement on such Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value either (i) with respect to Fair Market Base Rental Value applicable to a Renewal Term, within three hundred seventy (370) days prior to the commencement date of a Renewal Term or (ii) for all other purposes, after at least fifteen (15) days of good faith negotiations, then either Party shall each have the right to seek, upon written notice to the other Party (the “ Expert Valuation Notice ”), which notice clearly identifies that such Party seeks, to have such Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value determined in accordance with the following Expert Valuation Process:
(a)     Within twenty (20) days of the receiving Party’s receipt of the Expert Valuation Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall provide notice to the other Party of the name, address and other pertinent contact information, and qualifications of its selected appraiser (which appraiser must be an independent qualified MAI appraiser (i.e., a Member of the Appraisal Institute)).
(b)     As soon as practicable following such notice, and in any event within twenty (20) days following their selection, each appraiser shall prepare a written appraisal of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) as of the relevant date of valuation, and deliver the same to its respective client. Representatives of the Parties shall then meet and simultaneously exchange copies of such appraisals. Following such exchange, the appraisers shall promptly meet and endeavor to agree upon Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) based on a written appraisal made by each of them (and given to Landlord by Tenant). If such two appraisers shall agree upon a Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value, as applicable, such agreed amount shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(c)     If such two appraisers are unable to agree upon a Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) within five (5) Business Days after the exchange of appraisals as aforesaid, then such appraisers shall advise Landlord and Tenant of the same and, within twenty (20) days of the exchange of appraisals, select a third appraiser (which third appraiser, however selected, must be an independent qualified MAI appraiser) to make the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value. The selection of the third appraiser shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant.
(d)     If such two appraisers shall be unable to agree upon the designation of a third appraiser within the twenty (20) day period referred to in clause (c) above, or if such third appraiser does not make a determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) within thirty (30) days after his or her selection, then such third appraiser (or a substituted third appraiser, as applicable)

110





shall, at the request of either Party, be appointed by the Appointing Authority and such appointment shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. The determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the third appraiser appointed pursuant hereto shall be made within twenty (20) days after such appointment.
(e)     If a third appraiser is selected, Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) shall be the average of (x) the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the third appraiser and (y) the determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) made by the appraiser (selected pursuant to Section 34.1(b) ) whose determination of Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be) is nearest to that of the third appraiser. Such average shall be binding and conclusive upon Landlord and Tenant as being the Fair Market Ownership Value or Fair Market Base Rental Value or Fair Market Property Value (as the case may be).
(f)     In determining Fair Market Ownership Value of the Leased Property or the Facility, the appraisers shall (in addition to taking into account the criteria set forth in the definition of Fair Market Ownership Value), add (i) the present value of the Rent for the remaining Term, assuming the Term has been extended for all Renewal Terms provided herein (with assumed increases in CPI to be determined by the appraisers) using a discount rate (which may be determined by an investment banker retained by each appraiser) based on the credit worthiness of Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder and (ii) the present value of the Leased Property or Facility as of the end of such Term (assuming the Term has been extended for all Renewal Terms provided herein). The appraisers shall further assume that no default then exists under the Lease, that Tenant has complied (and will comply) with all provisions of the Lease, and that no default exists under any guaranty of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.
(g)     In determining Fair Market Base Rental Value, the appraisers shall (in addition to the criteria set forth in the definition thereof and of Fair Market Rental Value) take into account: (i) the age, quality and condition (as required by the Lease) of the Improvements; (ii) that the Leased Property or Facility will be leased as a whole or substantially as a whole to a single user; (iii) when determining the Fair Market Base Rental Value for any Renewal Term, a lease term of five (5) years together with such options to renew as then remains hereunder; (iv) an absolute triple net lease; and (v) such other items that professional real estate appraisers customarily consider.
(h)     [reserved].
(i)     If, by virtue of any delay, Fair Market Base Rental Value is not determined by the first (1 st ) day of the applicable Renewal Term, then until Fair Market Base Rental Value is determined, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent during the succeeding Renewal Term in the same amount which Tenant was obligated to pay prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. Upon determination of Fair Market Base Rental Value, Rent shall be calculated retroactive to the commencement of the Renewal Term and Tenant shall either receive a refund from Landlord (in the case of an overpayment) or shall pay any deficiency to Landlord (in the case of an underpayment) within thirty (30) days of the date on which the determination of Fair Market Base Rental Value becomes binding.
(j)     The cost of the procedure described in this Section 34.1 shall be borne equally by the Parties and the Parties will reasonably coordinate payment; provided , that if Landlord pays such costs, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be Additional Charges hereunder and if Tenant pays such costs, fifty percent (50%) of such costs shall be a credit against the next Rent payment hereunder.
34.2     Arbitration . In the event of a dispute with respect to this Lease pursuant to an Arbitration Provision, or in any case when this Lease expressly provides for the settlement or determination of a dispute or question by an Expert pursuant to this Section 34.2 (in any such case, a “ Section 34.2 Dispute ”) such dispute shall be determined in accordance with an arbitration proceeding as set forth in this Section 34.2 .

111





(a)    Any Section 34.2 Dispute shall be determined by an arbitration panel comprised of three members, each of whom shall be an Expert (the “ Arbitration Panel ”). No more than one panel member may be with the same firm and no panel member may have an economic interest in the outcome of the arbitration.
The Arbitration Panel shall be selected as set forth in this Section 34.2(b) . If a Section 34.2 Dispute arises and if Landlord and Tenant are not able to resolve such dispute after at least fifteen (15) days of good faith negotiations, then either Party shall each have the right to submit the dispute to the Arbitration Panel, upon written notice to the other Party (the “ Arbitration Notice ”). The Arbitration Notice shall identify one member of the Arbitration Panel who meets the criteria of the above paragraph. Within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the Arbitration Notice, the Party receiving such Arbitration Notice shall respond in writing identifying one member of the Arbitration Panel who meets the criteria of the above paragraph. Such notices shall include the name, address and other pertinent contact information, and qualifications of its member of the Arbitration Panel. If a Party fails to timely select its respective panel member, the other Party may notify such Party in writing of such failure, and if such Party fails to select its respective panel member within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice, then such other Party may select and identify to such Party such panel member on such Party’s behalf. The third member of the Arbitration Panel will be selected by the two (2) members of the Arbitration Panel who were selected by Landlord and Tenant; provided , that if, within five (5) Business Days after they are identified, they fail to select a third member, or if they are unable to agree on such selection, Landlord and Tenant shall cause the third member of the Arbitration Panel to be appointed by the managing officer of the American Arbitration Association.
(b)    Within ten (10) Business Days after the selection of the Arbitration Panel, Landlord and Tenant each shall submit to the Arbitration Panel a written statement identifying its summary of the issues. Landlord and Tenant may also request an evidentiary hearing on the merits in addition to the submission of written statements. The Arbitration Panel shall make its decision within twenty (20) days after the later of (i) the submission of such written statements, and (ii) the conclusion of any evidentiary hearing on the merits. The Arbitration Panel shall reach its decision by majority vote and shall communicate its decision by written notice to Landlord and Tenant.
(c)    The decision by the Arbitration Panel shall be final, binding and conclusive and shall be non-appealable and enforceable in any court having jurisdiction. All hearings and proceedings held by the Arbitration Panel shall take place in New York, New York unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties and the Arbitration Panel.
(d)    The resolution procedure described herein shall be governed by the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the Procedures for Large, Complex, Commercial Disputes in effect as of the Commencement Date.
(e)    Landlord and Tenant shall bear equally the fees, costs and expenses of the Arbitration Panel in conducting any arbitration described in this Section 34.2 .

36.1     Transfer of Tenant’s Gaming Assets and Operational Control of the Leased Property . Upon the written request (an “ End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice ”) of Landlord either immediately prior to or in connection with the expiration or earlier termination of the Term (other than a termination resulting from an L1/L2 Transfer), or of Tenant in connection with the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease that occurs (i) either on the last date of the Initial Term or the last date of any Renewal Term, or (ii) in the event Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Lease or repossess the Leased Property in accordance with the terms of this Lease and, provided in each of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) that Tenant complies with the provisions of Section 36.4 , Tenant shall transfer (or cause to be transferred) upon the expiration or termination of the Term, or as soon thereafter as Landlord shall request, the business operations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Tenant’s Property relating to the Facility) (such assets, collectively, the “ Gaming Assets ”) to a successor lessee or operator (or lessees or operators) of the Facility (collectively, the “ Successor Tenant ”) designated by Landlord or, if applicable, pursuant to Section 36.3 , for consideration to be received by Tenant from the Successor Tenant in an amount negotiated and agreed to by Tenant and the Successor Tenant or, if applicable, determined pursuant to Section 36.3 (the “ Gaming Assets FMV ”); provided , however , that in the event an End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice is delivered hereunder, then notwithstanding the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, until such time that Tenant transfers the Gaming Assets to a Successor Tenant, Tenant shall (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to) continue to (and Landlord shall permit Tenant to maintain possession of the Leased Property to the extent necessary to) possess and operate the Facility in accordance with the applicable terms of this Lease and the course and manner in which Tenant (or its Subsidiaries) has operated the Facility prior to the end of the Term (including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent hereunder, which shall be calculated as provided in this Lease, except, that for any period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, the Rent shall be a per annum amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount of the Base Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, multiplied by the Escalator, and increased on each anniversary of the Expiration Date to be equal to the Base Rent payable for the immediately preceding year, multiplied by the Escalator, plus (B) the amount of the Variable Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs). If Tenant, Landlord and/or a Successor Tenant designated by Landlord cannot agree on the Gaming Assets FMV within a reasonable time not to exceed thirty (30) days after receipt of an End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice hereunder, then such Gaming Assets FMV shall be determined, and Tenant’s transfer of the Gaming Assets to a Successor Tenant in consideration for a payment in such amount shall be determined and transferred, in accordance with the provisions of Section 36.3 .
36.2     Transfer of Intellectual Property . The Gaming Assets shall include a two (2) year transition license for Property Specific IP used, or held for use, at or in connection with the Facility.

36.3     Determination of Gaming Assets FMV .

113





If not effected pursuant to Section 36.1, then the determination of the Gaming Assets FMV and the transfer of the Gaming Assets to a Successor Tenant in consideration for the Gaming Assets FMV shall be effected by (i) first , determining in accordance with Section 36.3(a) the rent that Landlord would be entitled to receive from Successor Tenant assuming a lease term of the greater of (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) and (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Leased Property for the highest and best use of the Leased Property (the “ Successor Tenant Rent ”) pursuant to a lease agreement containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease), (ii) second , identifying and designating in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(b) , a pool of qualified potential Successor Tenants (each, a “ Qualified Successor Tenant ”) prepared to lease the Facility at the Successor Tenant Rent and to bid for the Gaming Assets, and (iii) third , in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(c) , determining the highest price a Qualified Successor Tenant would agree to pay for the Gaming Assets, and setting such highest price as the Gaming Assets FMV in exchange for which Tenant shall be required to transfer the Gaming Assets and Landlord will enter into a lease with such Qualified Successor Tenant on substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease) through (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) or (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Leased Property, whichever of (I) or (II) is greater, for a rent calculated pursuant to Section 36.3(a) hereof. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary in this Article XXXVI , the transfer of the Gaming Assets will be conditioned upon the approval of the applicable regulatory agencies of the transfer of the Gaming Licenses and any other gaming assets to the Successor Tenant and/or the issuance of new gaming licenses as required by applicable Gaming Regulations and the relevant regulatory agencies both with respect to operating and suitability criterion, as the case may be.
(a)     Determining Successor Tenant Rent . Landlord and Tenant shall first attempt to agree on the amount of Successor Tenant Rent that it will be assumed Landlord will be entitled to receive for a term of the greater of (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) and (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Leased Property, and pursuant to a lease containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease). If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Successor Tenant Rent amount within a reasonable time not to exceed sixty (60) days after receipt of an End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice hereunder, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be set as follows:
(i)     for the period preceding the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the annual Successor Tenant Rent shall be an amount equal to the annual Rent that would have accrued under the terms of this Lease for such period (assuming the Lease will have not been terminated prior to its natural expiration); and
(ii)     for the period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be calculated in the same manner as Rent is calculated under this Lease, provided that if Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant shall be the Successor Tenant, the Rent shall not be less than the Fair Market Rental Value.
(b)     Designating Potential Successor Tenants . Landlord will select one and Tenant will select three (3) (for a total of up to four (4)) potential Qualified Successor Tenants prepared to lease the Facility for the Successor Tenant Rent, each of whom must meet the criteria established for a L1 Qualified Transferee (as if the lease of the Facility to the Qualified Successor Tenant was an L1 Transfer) (and none of whom may be Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant (it being understood and agreed that there shall be no restriction on Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord from being a potential Qualified Successor Tenant), except in the case of expiration of the Lease on the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35th) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs). Landlord and Tenant must designate their proposed Qualified Successor Tenants within ninety (90) days after receipt of an End of Term Gaming Asset Transfer Notice hereunder. In the event that Landlord or Tenant fails to designate such party’s allotted

114

CEOC hereby joins in, and has executed this Lease (Joliet) for the purpose of guaranteeing: (a) eighty percent (80%) of the payment obligations of Tenant hereunder (including, without limitation, payment obligations with respect to damages arising from Tenant’s failure to perform non-monetary obligations of Tenant hereunder); and (b) the performance of the non-monetary obligations of Tenant hereunder to the extent Tenant is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to perform specific performance with respect to such non-monetary obligations.

In connection with this joinder, CEOC hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of the following defenses: (i) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any person or entity, or revocation hereof by any person or entity, or the failure of Tenant to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy, or any other proceeding) of any other Person; (ii) diligence, presentment, notice of acceptance, notice of dishonor, notice of presentment, or demand for payment of or performance of the obligations guaranteed under this joinder (other than as required with respect to Tenant under this Lease) and other suretyship defenses generally; (iii) any defense that may arise by reason of any action required by any statute to be taken against Tenant; (iv) the dissolution or termination of the existence of Tenant; (v) any defense that may arise by reason of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; (vi) any defense that may arise by reason of the voluntary or involuntary receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, assignment, composition, or readjustment of, or any similar proceeding affecting, Tenant or any of Tenant’s assets; (vii) any right of subrogation, indemnity or reimbursement against Tenant or any right to enforce any remedy which Landlord may have against Tenant at any time during which a Tenant Event of Default under and as defined in this Lease has occurred and is continuing; (viii) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Landlord, even though that election of remedies might impair or destroy any right, if any, of CEOC of subrogation, indemnity or reimbursement; (ix) any defense based upon Tenant’s failure to disclose to CEOC any information concerning Tenant’s financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on Tenant’s ability to pay all sums payable under or in respect of this Lease; and (x) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal.

CEOC’s liability under this joinder is primary, direct and unconditional and may be enforced in full or in part, from time to time, after nonpayment or nonperformance by Tenant of any of the obligations guaranteed hereunder, in each case without requiring Landlord to resort to any other person or entity, including, without limitation, Tenant, or any other right, remedy or collateral. This joinder constitutes a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection only. This joinder is a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of the obligations guaranteed hereunder, and liability hereunder shall in no way be affected or diminished by any renewal, extension, amendment or modification of this Lease or any waiver of any of the provisions hereof. CEOC agrees that any act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to this Lease shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to CEOC’s liability under this joinder.

CEOC’s obligations with respect to the payment and performance of the obligations guaranteed under this joinder shall survive for so long as Tenant has any obligations to Landlord under this Lease.







THIS JOINDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES REGARDING CONFLICT OF LAWS.

ANY LITIGATION OR OTHER COURT PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS JOINDER SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURTS THERETO, OR IF FEDERAL JURISDICTION IS LACKING, THEN IN THE STATE COURTS OF NEW YORK STATE LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR PURPOSES OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION OR LEGAL PROCEEDING NEED NOT BE PERSONALLY SERVED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT MAY BE SERVED WITH THE SAME EFFECT AS IF THE PARTY IN QUESTION WERE SERVED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BY GIVING NOTICE CONTAINING SUCH SERVICE TO THE INTENDED RECIPIENT (WITH COPIES TO COUNSEL) IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN Article XXXV .

RECITALS
A. Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Lease dated as of December 22, 2017 (the “ Lease ”) whereby Landlord leased to Tenant the property described in Exhibit B attached to the Lease and incorporated therein. Capitalized terms used in this First Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Lease; and
B. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease on the terms and conditions provided herein.
NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the Parties do hereby stipulate, covenant and agree as follows:
1. Replacement of Definition of EBITDAR to Rent Ratio . The definition of “EBITDAR to Rent Ratio” in the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

3



Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, multiplied by the Escalator, and increased on each anniversary of the Expiration Date to be equal to the Rent payable for the immediately preceding year, multiplied by the Escalator, plus (B) the amount of the Variable Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs (the period described in this proviso, the “ Transition Period ”).

9. Replacement of Section 36.3 . Section 36.3 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
36.3     Determination of Successor Lessee and Successor Assets FMV . If not effected pursuant to Section 36.1 , then the determination of the Successor Assets FMV and the transfer of Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Items) to a Successor Tenant in consideration for the Successor Assets FMV shall be effected by (i) first , determining in accordance with Section 36.3(a) the rent that Landlord would be entitled to receive from Successor Tenant assuming a lease term of the greater of (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term) and (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Facility (the “ Successor Tenant Rent ”), pursuant to a lease agreement containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease), (ii) second , identifying and designating in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(b) , a pool of qualified potential Successor Tenants (each, a “ Qualified Successor Tenant ”) prepared to lease the Facility at the Successor Tenant Rent and to bid for the business operations conducted at the Facility and Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Items), and (iii) third , in accordance with the terms of Section 36.3(c) , determining the highest price a Qualified Successor Tenant would agree to pay for Tenant’s Property and setting such highest price as the Successor Assets FMV in exchange for which Tenant shall be required to transfer Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Items) and Landlord will enter into a lease with such Qualified Successor Tenant on substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease) with a term equal to the greater of (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term)

4



and (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Facility, for a rent calculated pursuant to Section 36.3(a) hereof. Notwithstanding anything in the contrary in this Article XXXVI , the transfer of the Successor Assets will be conditioned upon the approval of the applicable regulatory agencies of the transfer of the Gaming Licenses and any other Gaming assets to the Successor Tenant and/or the issuance of new Gaming Licenses as required by applicable Gaming Regulations and the relevant regulatory agencies both with respect to operating and suitability criteria, as the case may be.
(a)      Determining Successor Tenant Rent . Landlord and Tenant shall first attempt to agree on the amount of Successor Tenant Rent that it will be assumed Landlord will be entitled to receive for a term of the greater of (I) the remaining term of this Lease (assuming that this Lease will not have terminated prior to its natural expiration at the end of the final Renewal Term)and (II) the lesser of (x) ten (10) years and (y) eighty percent (80%) of the then remaining useful life of the Facility, and pursuant to a lease containing substantially the same terms and conditions of this Lease (other than, in the case of a new lease at the end of the final Renewal Term, the terms of this Article XXXVI , which will not be included in such new lease). If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Successor Tenant Rent amount within a reasonable time not to exceed sixty (60) days after receipt of an End of Term Asset Transfer Notice hereunder, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be set as follows:
(i)      for the period preceding the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the annual Successor Tenant Rent shall be an amount equal to the annual Rent that would have accrued under the terms of this Lease for such period (assuming the Lease will have not been terminated prior to its natural expiration); and
(ii)      for the period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, then the Successor Tenant Rent shall be calculated in the same manner as Rent is calculated under this Lease (but in no event will the Rent be less than the Rent that would otherwise be payable under this Lease), provided, that for any period following the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, the Rent shall be a per annum amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount of the Base Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, multiplied by the Escalator, and increased on each anniversary of the Expiration Date to be equal to the Rent payable for the immediately preceding year, multiplied by the Escalator, plus (B) the amount of the Variable Rent hereunder during the Lease Year in which the Expiration Date occurs, subject to a reset at the end of the first subsequent five year period consistent with

5



the Variable Rent adjustments performed under this Lease at the commencement of each Renewal Period, provided that if Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant shall be the Successor Tenant, the Rent shall not be less than the Fair Market Rental Value.
(b)      Designating Potential Successor Tenants . Landlord will select one and Tenant will select three (for a total of up to four) potential Qualified Successor Tenants prepared to lease the Facility for the Successor Tenant Rent, each of whom must meet the criteria established for a Qualified Transferee (and none of whom may be Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant (it being understood and agreed that there shall be no restriction on Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord from being a potential Qualified Successor Tenant), except in the case of termination of the Lease on the last day of the calendar month in which the thirty-fifth (35 th ) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs). Landlord and Tenant must designate their proposed Qualified Successor Tenants within ninety (90) days after receipt of an End of Term Asset Transfer Notice hereunder. In the event that Landlord or Tenant fails to designate such party’s allotted number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants, the other party may designate additional potential Qualified Successor Tenants such that the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants does not exceed four; provided that, in the event the total number of potential Qualified Successor Tenants is less than four, the transfer process will still proceed as set forth in Section 36.3(c) below.
(c)      Determining Successor Assets FMV . Tenant will have a three (3) month period to negotiate an acceptable sales price for Tenant’s Property with one of the Qualified Successor Tenants, which three (3) month period will commence immediately upon the conclusion of the steps set forth above in Section 36.3(b) . If Tenant does not reach an agreement prior to the end of such three (3) month period, Landlord shall conduct an auction for Tenant’s Property among the four potential successor lessees, and Tenant will be required to transfer Tenant’s Property (but excluding the Excluded Assets) to the highest bidder.”
10. Replacement of Clause (a) of Article XL . Clause (a) of Article XL of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“(a)    The Parties intend that Rent and other amounts paid by Tenant hereunder will qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto and this Lease shall be interpreted consistent with this intent. If any Rent hereunder fails to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, the Parties will cooperate in good faith to amend this Lease such that no Rent fails to so qualify, provided that (i) such amendment shall not (w) increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under this

6



Lease by more than a de minimis extent, (x) increase Tenant’s non-monetary obligations under this Lease in any material respect, (y) decrease Landlord’s obligations under this Lease in any material respect or (z) diminish Tenant’s rights under this Lease in any material respect and (ii) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable and actual documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and actual documented out-of-pocket legal costs and expenses) incurred by Tenant in connection with such amendment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with any changes to the definition of “EBITDAR to Rent Ratio” in this Lease as provided in such definition.”
11. Miscellaneous .
a. This First Amendment shall be construed according to and governed by the laws of the jurisdiction which is specified by the Lease. The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction located in such jurisdiction in connection with any proceeding arising out of or relating to this First Amendment.
b. If any provision of this First Amendment is adjudicated to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, it will be deemed omitted to that extent and all other provisions of this First Amendment will remain in full force and effect.
c. Neither this First Amendment nor any provision hereof may be changed, modified, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement of such change, modification, waiver, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
d. The paragraph headings and captions contained in this First Amendment are for convenience of reference only and in no event define, describe or limit the scope or intent of this First Amendment or any of the provisions or terms hereof.
e. This First Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.
f. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all Parties hereto had signed the same document. All such counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument, but in making proof hereof it shall only be necessary to produce one such counterpart.

1.3     Structure of this Agreement; Integration; Consideration . Tenant, Manager, CEC and Landlord each acknowledge and agree that, as of the Commencement Date, certain operating efficiencies and value will be achieved as a result of Tenant’s engagement of Manager and/or Manager’s Affiliates to operate and manage the Managed Facility, the Other Managed Facilities and the Other Managed Resorts that would not be possible to achieve if unrelated managers were engaged to operate each of the Managed Facility, the Other Managed Facilities and the Other Managed Resorts. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Parties would not enter into this Agreement, the Lease or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements absent the understanding and agreement of the Parties that the entire ownership, operation, management, lease and Lease Guaranty relationship with respect to the Managed Facility, including the lease of the Managed Facility pursuant to the Lease, the use of the Managed Facilities IP and the use of the Total Rewards Program, together with the other related Intellectual Property arrangements contemplated hereunder and under the Omnibus Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement, all of the other covenants, obligations and agreements of the Parties hereunder and all of the covenants, obligations and agreements of each of the parties under each of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements, form part of a single integrated transaction.

APPOINTMENT/TERM
2.1     Grant of Authority .
2.1.1     Engagement of Manager . On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Tenant hereby engages Manager, and Manager hereby agrees to be engaged, as Tenant’s agent and exclusive manager to Operate the Managed Facility during the Term. The Parties acknowledge that the scope of Manager’s authority and duties to Operate the Managed Facility are limited to the authority and duties set forth in this Agreement. Tenant and Manager shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, cease to operate or permit the Managed Facility to cease to be operated under the “Caesars Palace” Brand.
2.1.2     Manager’s Standard of Care . Manager shall (a) execute its duties under this Agreement in its reasonable business judgment (the “ Manager’s Standard of Care ”), and (b) act as the agent of Tenant in connection with the performance of Manager’s duties as manager of the Managed Facility under this Agreement. Tenant agrees that Manager’s duties as agent to Tenant are further subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 2.3 ) and the Operating Limitations. Except for Manager’s indemnification obligations set forth in Article XII , Tenant agrees that, as between Tenant and Manager, Manager will have no liability for monetary damages or monetary relief to Tenant for any violation of Manager’s Standard of Care or claims of breach of any fiduciary duties or duties as agent unless such violation or breach was due to an action or event giving rise to a Manager Event of Default (disregarding any applicable notice and/or cure periods for such purpose).
2.1.3     Manager’s System Policies . Tenant acknowledges that Manager and/or Manager’s Affiliates operate other casino, racetrack, hotel, dining, retail, entertainment and other operations and that Manager or its Affiliates may derive benefits in addition to the fees and reimbursements paid hereunder, including in connection with marketing programs, the Total Rewards Program, Purchasing Programs, employment policies relating to the Managed Facility Personnel or other programmatic or policy activities that may be implemented from time to time at the discretion of CEC, Services Co or their Affiliates, and that extend through the majority of Gaming properties operated by Manager’s Affiliates (collectively, the “ Manager’s System Policies ”). Tenant agrees that Manager will not be in breach of its duties as agent hereunder if, solely as a result of Manager following the Manager’s System Policies, certain aspects of the Manager’s System Policies have the effect of providing greater benefit to properties owned or operated by Manager’s Affiliates collectively or third parties than to the Managed Facility, so long as the Manager’s System Policies (i) are designed and executed in accordance with Manager’s Standard of Care, (ii) are Non-Discriminatory to the Managed Facility in both design and implementation and (iii) are not otherwise violative of or inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement; provided that any revisions to the Manager’s System Policies after the Commencement Date shall be implemented in a Non‑Discriminatory manner; and provided , further , that Manager shall give Tenant and Landlord prior written notice of such revisions and no such revisions shall result in a change in the overall quality and/or the level of service at the Managed Facility below that required in Section 2.1.4(a) and otherwise under this Agreement without Tenant’s and Landlord’s prior written consent thereto. The foregoing shall not be deemed to excuse any breach by Manager of any of the express provisions of this Agreement.
2.1.4     General Grant of Authority – Managed Facility . On and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and to the extent delegable by Tenant under the Lease, Tenant hereby grants to Manager (and Manager hereby accepts) the right, authority and responsibility during the Term, and instructs Manager during the Term, to take all such actions for and on behalf of Tenant and the Managed Facility that Manager reasonably deems necessary or advisable to Operate the Managed Facility: (a) at a standard and level of service and quality (and otherwise on terms and in a manner) for the Managed Facility that in all events is not lower than the standard and level of service and quality for the Managed

3



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

All operating plans and budgets proposed by Manager shall be prepared in good faith in accordance with budgeting and planning procedures typically employed by CEC and shall be developed and implemented in accordance with the Manager’s Standard of Care and the Operating Standard. Each operating plan and budget shall include monthly and annualized projections of each of the following items, as applicable, for the Managed Facility:
5.1.1.1    results of operations, together with the following supporting data: (a) total labor costs, including both fixed and variable labor and (b) the Reimbursable Expenses;
5.1.1.2    a description of proposed Routine Capital Improvements, Building Capital Improvements and ROI Capital Improvements to be made during such Operating Year, including capitalized lease expenses, an itemization of the costs of such capital improvements (including a contingency line item) and proposed monthly funding for such costs, and project schedules to commence and complete such capital improvements (the “ Capital Budget ”);

5.1.1.4    a schedule of rent required under the Lease;

5.1.2     Approval of Annual Budget . Tenant shall review the proposed operating plan and budget and shall provide Manager with its written approval of or any objections to such proposed operating plan and budget in writing, in reasonable detail, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the proposed operating plan and budget from Manager; provided that any line items in the proposed operating plan and budget shall not be adopted and implemented by Manager until Tenant shall have approved or be deemed to have approved such operating plan and budget and/or any items therein in dispute shall have been determined pursuant to Section 5.1.3 . Tenant shall be deemed to have approved that portion of any proposed operating plan and budget to which Tenant has not approved in writing or objected to in writing within such forty-five (45) day period. If Tenant objects to any portion of the proposed operating plan and budget to which it is entitled to object within such forty-five (45) day period, Tenant and Manager shall meet within twenty (20) days after Manager’s receipt of Tenant’s objections and discuss such objections, and then Manager shall submit written revisions to the proposed operating plan and budget after such discussion. Tenant and Manager shall use good faith efforts to reach an agreement on the operating plan and budget prior to January 1 of each Operating Year. The proposed operating plan and budget, as modified to reflect the revisions, if any, agreed to by Tenant and Manager pursuant to Section 5.1.3 , shall become the “ Annual Budget ” for the next Operating Year. Tenant shall

14



act reasonably and exercise prudent business judgment in approving of, or objecting to, all or any portion of any proposed operating plan and budget.
5.1.3     Resolution of Disputes for Annual Budget . If Tenant and Manager, despite their good faith efforts, are unable to reach final agreement on the proposed operating plan prior to January 1 of each Operating Year, or otherwise have a dispute regarding the Annual Budget as contemplated by this Section 5.1 , those portions of such proposed operating plan that are not in dispute shall become effective on January 1 of such Operating Year and, pending Tenant’s and Manager’s resolution of such dispute, the prior year’s Annual Budget shall govern the items in dispute, except that the budgeted expenses provided for such item(s) in the prior year’s Annual Budget (or, if earlier, the last Annual Budget in which the budgeted expenses for such disputed item(s) were approved) shall be increased by the percentage increase in the Index from January 1 of the prior Operating Year (or, if applicable, each additional Operating Year between the prior Operating Year and the Operating Year in which there became effective the last Annual Budget in which the budgeted expenses for such disputed item(s) were approved). Upon the resolution of any such dispute by agreement of Tenant and Manager, such resolution shall control as to such item(s). For purposes of clarity, all disputes regarding the Annual Budget shall be resolved (if at all) between Tenant and Manager directly and no such dispute shall subject to Expert Resolution through the procedures described in Article XVIII unless Tenant and Manager (each acting in its sole discretion) agree in writing at the time any such dispute arises to mutually submit the subject dispute to Expert Resolution under Article XVIII .
5.1.4     Operation in Accordance with Annual Budget . Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Managed Facility in accordance with the Annual Budget for the applicable Operating Year (subject, in the case of disputed items, to the provisions of Section 5.1.3 ). Nevertheless, Tenant and Manager acknowledge that preparation of the Annual Budgets is inherently inexact and that Manager may vary from any Annual Budget (a) to the extent Manager reasonably determines that such variance is required by any Leasehold Financing Document and/or the Lease, (b) in connection with the matters set forth in Section 5.1.5 , or (c) by reallocating up to ten percent (10%) of any line item in such Annual Budget to any other line item without Tenant’s prior approval. Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, Manager shall not incur costs or expenses or make expenditures that would cause the total expenditures for the Operation of the Managed Facility to exceed the aggregate amount of expenditures provided in the Annual Budget by more than five percent (5%) without Tenant’s prior approval. Tenant acknowledges that the actual financial performance of the Managed Facility during any Operating Year will likely vary from the projections contained in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, and Manager shall not be deemed to have made any guarantee, warranty or representation whatsoever in connection with the Annual Budget or consistency of actual results with the operating plan.
5.1.5     Exceptions to Annual Budget . Notwithstanding Section 5.1.4 , Tenant acknowledges and agrees as follows:
5.1.5.1    The amount of certain expenses provided for in the Annual Budget for any Operating Year will vary based on the occupancy, use and demand for goods and services provided at the Managed Facility and, accordingly, to the extent that occupancy, use and demand for such goods and services for any Operating Year exceeds the occupancy, use and demand projected in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, such Annual Budget shall be deemed to include corresponding increases in such variable expenses; provided that the percentage increase in the variable expense over budget shall not exceed the percentage increase in corresponding revenue over projections. To the extent that occupancy, use and demand for goods and services provided at the Managed Facility for any Operating Year is less than the occupancy, use and demand projected in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, Manager will make commercially reasonable adjustments to the Operation of the Managed Facility in an effort to reduce such variable expenses;

15



5.1.5.2    The amount of certain expenses provided for in the Annual Budget for any Operating Year are not within the ability of Manager to control, including real estate and personal property taxes, applicable Gaming taxes, insurance premiums, utility rates, license and permit fees and certain charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement, and accordingly, Manager shall have the right to pay from the Operating Account the actual amount of such uncontrollable expenses without reference to the amounts provided for with respect thereto in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year ( provided that Manager shall promptly provide Tenant with a reasonably detailed written explanation of all variances in excess of five percent (5%) between the budgeted and actual amounts of any such uncontrollable expenses);
5.1.5.3    If any expenditures are required on an emergency basis to (a) preserve or repair the Managed Facility or other property or (b) avoid potential injury to persons or material damage to the Managed Facility or other property, Manager shall have the right to make such expenditures, whether or not provided for, or within the amounts provided for, in the Annual Budget for the Operating Year in question, to the extent reasonably required to avoid or mitigate such injury or material damage; and
5.1.5.4    If any expenditures are required to comply with, or cure or prevent any violation of, any Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease, Manager shall, following written notice to Tenant (except in the case of emergency, in which case the provisions of Section 5.1.5.3 shall govern) have the right to make such expenditures, whether or not provided for or within the amounts provided for in the Annual Budget for the Operating Year in question, as may be necessary to comply with, or cure or prevent the violation of, such Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease.
5.1.6     Modification to Annual Budget . Manager shall have the right from time to time during each Operating Year to propose modifications to the Annual Budget then in effect based on actual operations during the elapsed portion of the applicable Operating Year and Manager’s reasonable business judgment as to what will transpire during the remainder of such Operating Year. Modifications to such Annual Budget, if any, shall be subject to Tenant’s prior written approval; provided that in no event shall Tenant have the right to withhold its approval to any material modifications on account of changes to costs of insurance premiums, operating supplies and equipment, charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement or other amounts that are not within Manager’s or its Affiliates’ ability to control (e.g., taxes, assessments, utilities, license or permit fees, inspection fees and any impositions imposed by any Governmental Authority).
5.1.7     Compliance with Lease . Without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties agree that (i) nothing in this Section 5.1 is intended, nor shall it be construed, to limit, vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease and (ii) subject to the foregoing clause (i) and compliance with any requirements of the Lease (and subject, further, to the final sentence of this Section 5.1.7 ), so long as Tenant is a Controlled Subsidiary of CEC and Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of CEC, Tenant and Manager may modify the requirements of this Section 5.1 with respect to the subject matter thereof from time to time in their discretion; provided that any such modifications shall be of no force or effect unless they (x) are Non-Discriminatory and (y) do not conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Lease/MLSA Related Agreement; and provided , further , that if any such modification would have a material adverse effect on any Party, then such modification shall require the prior written consent of such Party in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything otherwise contained in this Agreement, for as long as the indebtedness secured by the Existing Landlord’s Lender remains outstanding (or for so long as any Landlord Financing Documents prohibit modification of this Agreement absent the applicable Landlord’s Lender’s consent), no modification of any nature of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1.7 (in the case of any Landlord’s Lender other than the Existing Landlord’s Lender, to the extent such modification requires such Landlord’s Lender’s consent under such Landlord Financing Documents) shall be permitted absent Landlord’s express written consent, and any purported modification as to which Landlord shall not have consented expressly in writing shall be void ab initio .

Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall cause to be performed all ROI Capital Improvements approved by Tenant (in the Annual Budget or otherwise in writing in advance), and shall supervise such work and ensure that the performance of such work is undertaken in a manner reasonably calculated to avoid or minimize interference with the Operation of the Managed Facility. Except as provided in the applicable Annual Budget or proposed by Manager and approved by Tenant, Tenant shall notify Manager of any ROI Capital Improvements proposed to be undertaken by Tenant and Manager may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, object to the undertaking of such ROI Capital Improvements based on Manager’s reasonable determination that such ROI Capital Improvements will not be consistent with the Operating Standard (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that such ROI Capital Improvements would constitute a breach of the terms of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility, including that such ROI Capital Improvements would unreasonably interfere with the Managed Facility’s operating performance and the ability of Manager to Operate the Managed Facility in accordance with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease). Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any notice from Manager alleging an objection with respect to any ROI Capital Improvement proposed by Tenant, Tenant shall respond in detail to such allegation and, if the matter is not resolved by Tenant and Manager within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s response, the determination of whether such capital improvement does not, or when constructed will not, be consistent with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility shall be submitted to the Expert for Expert Resolution in accordance with Article XVIII . If the Expert determines that such capital improvement does not, or when constructed will not, comply with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility, Tenant shall promptly take such actions as the Expert shall require to bring such capital improvement into compliance with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or to cause such capital improvement to not unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties acknowledge that any determination made by an Expert under this Agreement shall be subject to Section 18.2.3 and, without limitation, to the extent Landlord believes any non-compliance with the Lease exists, the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease shall govern with respect thereto.
5.2.3     Remediation of Design or Construction Defect . If the design or construction of the Managed Facility is defective, and the defective condition presents a risk of injury to persons or damage to the Managed Facility or other property, or results in non-compliance with Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease, then Manager shall have the authority (subject to the terms of the Lease) to, at Tenant’s expense, perform all work necessary to remedy such design or construction defect in the Managed Facility. Tenant acknowledges that such work shall be performed at Tenant’s expense and that Manager shall not use funds in the Operating Account in remedying such defects.
5.2.4     Compliance with Lease . Without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties agree that nothing in this Section 5.2 is intended, nor shall it be construed, to grant to Manager

17



more authority over maintenance, repair and improvements of the Leased Property or any portion thereof than Tenant has under the Lease, or to require Manager to take actions in respect of the Leased Property or any portion thereof beyond Tenant’s authority with respect thereto, it being understood that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be construed to, limit, vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease.

16.1.1.2    except as set forth in Section 16.1.1.1 , a failure by Tenant to pay any amount of money to Manager when due and payable under this Agreement that is not cured within sixty (60) days after notice to Tenant;
16.1.1.3    except as set forth in Section 16.1.1.1 or Section 16.1.1.2 , a failure by Tenant to perform or comply with any of the covenants, duties or obligations set forth in this Agreement to be performed by Tenant that is not cured within thirty (30) days following notice of such default from Manager to Tenant; provided that if: (a) the default is not susceptible of cure within a thirty (30) day period; (b) the default cannot be cured solely by the payment of a sum of money; and (c) the default would not expose Manager (or Landlord) to an imminent and material risk of criminal liability or of material damage to its business reputation, the thirty (30) day cure period shall be extended for such time as is necessary (but in no event longer than ninety (90) days or, if such default is in the process of being cured to the satisfaction of an applicable Gaming Authority, such longer time as is prescribed by such Gaming Authority) to cure the default so long as Tenant commences to cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter proceeds with reasonable diligence to complete such cure;

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

16.1.2.3    (i) a general assignment by Manager for the benefit of its creditors, or any similar arrangement with its creditors by Manager; (ii) the entry of a judgment of insolvency against Manager that is not stayed, vacated or set aside within sixty (60) days of entry thereof; (iii) the filing by

48



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

If Manager is terminated for any reason other than as provided in the preceding sentence, then such termination shall be null and void and Manager will continue to manage in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if such termination is in connection with events constituting a Non-Consented Lease Termination, then such termination shall be treated as a Non-Consented Lease Termination and the provisions of Article XXI hereof shall apply.
16.5.2     Termination for Cause . The Parties acknowledge and agree that Manager may be Terminated for Cause by Landlord expressly and in writing in accordance with the definition of “Terminated for Cause”.

ARTICLE XVII

LEASE GUARANTY
17.1     Guaranteed Obligations . Lease Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Landlord, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the prompt and complete payment and performance in full in cash of, without duplication, (i) all monetary obligations of Tenant under the Lease (and, without duplication, all monetary obligations of the tenant under any New Lease obtained pursuant to and in accordance with Section 17.1(f) of the Lease in connection with which the applicable Leasehold Lender has elected to retain CEC as Lease Guarantor and proceed in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) of the Lease) of any nature (including, without limitation, during any Transition Period), including, without limitation, (x) Tenant’s rent and other payment obligations of any nature under the Lease (including all Rent and Additional Charges (as each such term is defined in the Lease)), (y) Tenant’s obligation to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Lease) in accordance with the Lease and any other expenditures required of Tenant by the terms of the Lease, including, but not limited to, the completion of the New Tower (as defined in the Lease) and the payment of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the construction thereof, in each case to the extent required under the Lease, and (z) Tenant’s obligation to pay monetary damages in connection with any breach of the Lease and to pay indemnification obligations in each case as provided under the Lease, (ii) all Guaranty Termination Obligations (without duplication of amounts otherwise already included under clause (i) ) and (iii) any sums payable to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.2.4 hereof ( clauses (i) , (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”), in each case including (a) amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar laws and (b) any late charges and interest provided for

55



under the Lease (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding). Lease Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, although as a matter of process and procedure, Section 17.2 hereof sets forth a process by which Landlord may issue notice to Lease Guarantor in respect of certain Guaranteed Obligations, such process is not intended to be a predicate to the existence or accrual of Lease Guarantor’s liability for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, it being understood that all of Lease Guarantor’s obligations hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations are unconditional and irrevocable in all respects, irrespective of whether the process set forth in Section 17.2 has been commenced, completed or otherwise satisfied (but, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the occurrence of any Guaranty Release Date).
17.2     Notice and Guaranty Payment Process .
17.2.1     Guaranteed Obligations Other Than Guaranty Termination Obligations and Enforcement Costs . Lease Guarantor shall have no obligation to make any payment in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations (other than Guaranty Termination Obligations and any sums payable to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.2.4 hereof) unless and until Lease Guarantor receives notice in respect thereof from Landlord in accordance with this Section 17.2.1 , it being understood, however, that as provided in Section 17.1 , Landlord’s failure to deliver any notice shall not prevent or otherwise affect the existence or accrual of any Guaranteed Obligations. Landlord may give Lease Guarantor written notice of any event or circumstance that, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, is or would become a Tenant Lease Event of Default concurrently with notice to Tenant thereof, or at any time thereafter, which notice to Lease Guarantor shall specify in reasonable detail such actual or alleged event or circumstance and the payment amount or other relief demanded (each such notice to Lease Guarantor, a “ Lease Guaranty Claim ”). Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord, in full in cash, the amount of Guaranteed Obligations that are owed as may be specified in the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim immediately upon the occurrence of all of the following: (1) the event or circumstance set forth in the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim shall be a Tenant Lease Event of Default that is continuing, (2) with respect to any failure by Tenant to satisfy a monetary obligation that, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, is or would become a Tenant Lease Event of Default (each, a “ Monetary Tenant Default ”), Tenant or Lease Guarantor shall have failed to satisfy or cure such failure in full on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after Lease Guarantor’s receipt of the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim, and (3) with respect to any Monetary Tenant Default, Tenant or Lease Guarantor shall have failed to satisfy or cure such failure in full on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s deadline under the Lease (giving effect to any applicable notice and cure periods available to Tenant under the Lease, unless, at the time the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim is made, another Lease Guaranty Claim has been made and remains outstanding); provided that no Lease Guaranty Claim shall be required to be delivered other than with respect to Guaranteed Obligations described in clause (i) of Section 17.1 ; and provided , further , that the provisions of this Section 17.2.1 are not intended to expand in any way the definition or scope of the Guaranteed Obligations.
17.2.2     Guaranty Termination Obligations . Guaranteed Obligations comprising Guaranty Termination Obligations shall not be subject to the process described in Section 17.2.1 . Instead (subject to the final two (2) sentences of this Section 17.2.2 ), Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord, in full in cash, any and all known or demanded Guaranty Termination Obligations immediately following the Guaranty Release Date. Lease Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the full extent of all of the Guaranty Termination Obligations may not be known or demanded as of the Guaranty Release Date. Accordingly, to the extent that any amount of any portion of the Guaranty Termination Obligations is either not known or not demanded by Landlord as of the Guaranty Release Date, then Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord all of such portion of the Guaranty Termination Obligations, in full in cash, promptly upon subsequent demand by Landlord for such Guaranty Termination Obligations, and the failure or delay of Landlord to demand such payment shall not be a waiver of any right of Landlord to receive the Guaranty Termination Obligations in full.

56



17.2.3     Interest . If all or any part of any Guaranteed Obligation shall not be paid on or prior to Lease Guarantor’s deadline to so do as provided in this Section 17.2 , Lease Guarantor shall pay, immediately upon demand by Landlord, and without presentment, protest, or notice (each of which is hereby waived by Lease Guarantor to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), in addition to such Guaranteed Obligation, but without duplication of any interest accruing on such amounts pursuant to the Lease and otherwise payable as a Guaranteed Obligation (and without interest accruing on any interest), interest on the amount of such Guaranteed Obligation (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) five percentage points above the Prime Rate and (ii) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law, accruing from the date of Lease Guarantor’s deadline by which to make such payment under this Section 17.2 .
17.2.4     Enforcement Costs . If Landlord or Lease Guarantor brings an action or other proceeding against the other to enforce or interpret any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or any instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement, or by reason of any breach or default hereunder or thereunder, the Party substantially prevailing in any such action or proceeding and any appeal thereupon shall be paid all of its costs and reasonable documented outside attorneys’ fees incurred therein.
17.3     Guaranty Provisions .
17.3.1     Nature of Lease Guaranty .
17.3.1.1    Until such time as Lease Guarantor has paid in full in cash all of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any and all Guaranty Termination Obligations, Lease Guarantor shall continue to be liable under the Lease Guaranty (except solely if and to the extent expressly provided in Section 17.3.5 below). Lease Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations (A) shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, whether or not notice thereof is given to Lease Guarantor (in each case subject to the final sentence of this Section 17.3.1.1 ): (i) any agreement or stipulation between Landlord and Tenant extending the time of performance under, or any other agreement, amendment, modification, supplement or other instrument modifying any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in, the Lease; (ii) any renewal or extension of the Lease pursuant to an option granted in the Lease, if any; (iii) any waiver by Landlord, or failure of Landlord to enforce, any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in the Lease or any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in any modifications thereof; (iv) any assignment of the Lease, or any subletting or subsubletting of, or any other occupancy arrangements in respect of, all or any part of the Managed Facility (in each case, subject to Section 17.3.5 ); (v) any release, waiver, consent, indulgence, forbearance or other action, inaction or omission by Landlord or otherwise under or in respect of the Lease or any other instrument or agreement; (vi) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership or trusteeship affecting, Tenant, Landlord or any other Party or their respective successors or assigns or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective assets, or any actual or attempted rejection, assumption, assignment, separation, severance, or recharacterization of the Lease or any portion thereof, or any discharge of liability thereunder, in connection with any such proceeding or otherwise; (vii) any other defenses, other than a defense of payment or performance in full, as the case may be, of the Guaranteed Obligations; (viii) the existence of any claim, setoff, counterclaim, defense or other rights that may be at any time be available to, or asserted by, Lease Guarantor or Tenant against Landlord, whether in connection with the Lease, the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise; (ix) any breach by (or any act or omission of any nature of) Landlord under the Lease; (x) (except if Article XXI requires implementation of a Replacement Structure, and such Replacement Structure does not occur as a direct and proximate result of Landlord’s acts or failure to act in accordance with Article XXI , solely to the extent expressly provided in Section 21.3 ) any breach by (or any act or omission of any nature of) Landlord under this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements; (xi) any law or statute that may operate to cap, limit, or otherwise restrict the claims of a lessor of real property, including, but not limited to, Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code; (xii) the integration of the Lease Guaranty together with the other components of this

57



Agreement (as opposed to the Lease Guaranty having been made by Lease Guarantor as an independent, standalone instrument); (xiii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease; (xiv) the failure of Landlord to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of this Agreement, the Lease or otherwise; (xv) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (including the Lease) for any reason whatsoever (subject, in each case, to Section 17.3.5 and Article XXI of this Agreement); and/or (xvi) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the obligations of Tenant under the Lease or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Landlord that might vary the risk of Lease Guarantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, Lease Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety and (B) are in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempts to collect or any other condition or contingency. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement or the Lease to the contrary, Lease Guarantor shall not be subject to (and the Lease Guaranty will not be applicable with respect to) any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification of the terms of the Lease that increases Tenant’s monetary obligations thereunder or, subject to Section 17.3.1.8 , Section 17.3.1.9 and Section 17.3.1.10 hereof, that is otherwise adverse to the rights of Tenant and/or Lease Guarantor, unless Lease Guarantor shall have expressly consented thereto in writing (in its sole and absolute discretion); provided , however , that Lease Guarantor shall, in all events, remain liable for (and the Lease Guaranty will be applicable with respect to) any and all Guaranteed Obligations that would exist without giving effect to any such amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification of the terms of the Lease that increases Tenant’s monetary obligations thereunder; provided , further , however , for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this sentence is intended to vitiate or supersede Section 17.3.1.8 , Section 17.3.1.9 and Section 17.3.1.10 hereof.
17.3.1.2    Subject to Section 17.3.5 , the liability of Lease Guarantor under the Lease Guaranty shall be an absolute, direct, immediate, continuing and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectability, may not be revoked by Lease Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to all of the Guaranteed Obligations notwithstanding any attempted revocation by Lease Guarantor and shall not be conditional or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Lease or any other documents or instruments relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, i ncluding any Party’s lack of authority or lawful right to enter into such document on such Party’s behalf, or the pursuit by Landlord of any remedies Landlord may have. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liability of Lease Guarantor under the Lease Guaranty shall be unaffected by (a) the absence of any action to enforce the Lease Guaranty, any other obligation of Lease Guarantor hereunder, the Lease or any other instrument or agreement, or the waiver or consent by Landlord with respect to any of the provisions of any of them; or (b) the existence, value, or condition of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Landlord in respect thereof (including, without limitation, the release of any such security).
17.3.1.3    Subject to Section 17.3.5 , the Lease Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
17.3.1.4    In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Tenant or Lease Guarantor, the Guaranteed Obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Landlord as a preference, fraudulent transfer or for any other reason. Any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes under the Lease Guaranty.
17.3.1.5    The Lease Guaranty shall continue in full force and be binding upon Lease Guarantor, its successors and assigns, in accordance with its terms. Lease Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

58



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

17.3.1.8    Without limitation of any of the other provisions, terms, and conditions hereof, Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the implementation of a Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Assumption, this Agreement (including the Lease Guaranty) shall remain in full force and effect and Lease Guarantor shall be obligated in all respects under the Lease Guaranty without any termination, reduction, impairment or reduction whatsoever, irrespective of whether any of the following shall have occurred (whether or not notice thereof is given to Lease Guarantor) (in each and any such case, irrespective of whether Lease Guarantor shall execute an affirmation or reaffirmation of its obligations under the Lease Guaranty, or otherwise affirm or reaffirm its obligations hereunder in connection therewith): (i) any foreclosure or such other termination of Tenant’s interest in the Lease or of any or all of the equity in Tenant, (ii) any other exercise of remedies by the applicable Leasehold Lender, (iii) any changes in the nature of the relationship between Tenant, on the one hand, and Lease Guarantor and Manager, on the other hand, including by reason of the replacement of Tenant with a Qualified Transferee (as defined in the Lease) that is unrelated to Lease Guarantor or Manager, or (iv) any changes or modifications with respect to the Lease of any nature in connection with such Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Assumption pursuant to and contemplated by the third to last paragraph of Section 22.2 of the Lease. LEASE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CONTENTION THAT ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17.3.1.8 ARE UNENFORCEABLE, AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED TO ASSERT TO THE CONTRARY.

LEASE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CONTENTION THAT ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17.3.1.9 ARE UNENFORCEABLE, AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED TO ASSERT TO THE CONTRARY.

Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lease Guarantor’s failure to so reaffirm in a writing reasonably acceptable to Landlord all of its obligations under this Agreement within five (5) days of a request from Landlord shall be an immediate Lease Guarantor Event of Default. In addition, and without limitation of anything otherwise contained in this Agreement, Lease Guarantor acknowledges it has executed and delivered to Landlord that certain Indemnity Agreement, Power of Attorney and Related Covenants (CPLV), pursuant to which, among other things, Lease Guarantor has appointed Landlord as its attorney-in-fact with full power in Lease Guarantor’s name and behalf to execute and deliver at any time an affirmation or reaffirmation of this Agreement, including as to the Lease Guaranty. LEASE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CONTENTION THAT ITS AGREEMENTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17.3.1.10 OR THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THE AFORESAID INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, POWER OF ATTORNEY AND RELATED COVENANTS (CPLV) ARE UNENFORCEABLE, AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED TO ASSERT TO THE CONTRARY.
17.3.2     Subrogation . Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash, Lease Guarantor shall withhold exercise of (a) any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation against Tenant arising from any payment of Guaranteed Obligations by Lease Guarantor, (b) any right of contribution Lease Guarantor may have against any other Person that is liable under the Lease arising from such payment or otherwise in connection with the Lease or this Agreement, (c) any right to enforce any remedy which Lease Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Tenant or Manager or (d) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Landlord in respect of the Lease. Lease Guarantor further agrees that any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation Lease Guarantor may have against Tenant or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution Lease Guarantor may have against any other Person, in connection with any payment of Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise under this Agreement or the Lease by Lease Guarantor shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Landlord may have against Tenant or any such other Person, to all right, title and interest Landlord may have in any such collateral or security, and to any rights Landlord may have against Tenant or any such other Person. If any amount shall be paid to Lease Guarantor on account of any such reimbursement, indemnity, subrogation or contribution rights at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for Landlord and shall forthwith be paid over to Landlord to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Lease or any applicable security agreement. In addition, any indebtedness of Tenant now or hereafter held by Lease Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, the foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant may make payments with respect to such indebtedness unless (A) a Tenant Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) any monetary default by Tenant under the Lease has occurred and is continuing with respect to which Landlord has delivered to Lease Guarantor a Lease Guaranty Claim or otherwise delivered written notice to Tenant or Lease Guarantor.

17.3.3     Enforcement .
17.3.3.1    The obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease. The Lease Guaranty may be enforced by Landlord without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security (such as, for example, any security deposit of Tenant held by Landlord) or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the remedy provisions of the Lease (such as, for example, terminating the Lease) or otherwise, and Lease Guarantor hereby expressly waives the right to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant or any other Person, to exercise its rights and remedies under the Lease, or to pursue any other remedy whatsoever against any Person, security or collateral or enforce any other right at law or in equity. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be necessary for Landlord (and Lease Guarantor hereby waives any rights which it may have to require Landlord), in order to enforce any Guaranteed Obligation against Lease Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against any other Person, security or collateral or resort to any other means of obtaining payment of any Guaranteed Obligation. Nothing herein shall prevent Landlord from suing any Person to enforce the terms of the Lease or from exercising any other rights available to Landlord under the Lease or any other instrument or agreement, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights shall not affect the obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder. Lease Guarantor understands that the exercise, or any forbearance from exercising, by Landlord of certain rights and remedies contained in the Lease may affect or eliminate Lease Guarantor’s right of subrogation against Tenant and that Lease Guarantor may therefore incur liability hereunder that is not subject to reimbursement; nevertheless Lease Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Landlord to exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, it being the purpose and intent of Lease Guarantor that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional, in each case in accordance with its terms hereunder.
17.3.3.2    No failure or delay on the part of Landlord in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Lease Guaranty shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise affect any such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
17.3.3.3    It is understood that Landlord, without impairing the Lease Guaranty, may, subject to the terms of the Lease, apply payments from Tenant or from any reletting of the Leased Property upon a default by Tenant or from or in connection with any exercise of rights or remedies, to any due and unpaid rent or other charges or to such other Guaranteed Obligations owed by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the Lease in such amounts and in such order as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines; provided that any amount so paid and applied reduces the aggregate outstanding liabilities of Tenant under the Lease by such amount as required under the Lease.
17.3.4     Waivers and Other Acknowledgments .
17.3.4.1    Subject to Section 17.2 above, Lease Guarantor hereby waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that Landlord protect any property related thereto, (ii) all notices to Lease Guarantor, Tenant or any other person (whether of nonpayment, termination, acceptance of the Lease Guaranty, default under the Lease, loans or defaults under loans, assignment or sublease, sale of the Leased Property, changes in ownership of Landlord or Tenant, or any other matters relating to the Lease, the Leased Property or related matters, whether or not referred to herein, and including any and all notices of the creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of any Guaranteed Obligations arising under the Lease) in connection with or related to a claim under the Lease Guaranty, (iii) all demands whatsoever in respect of a claim under the Lease Guaranty, (iv) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Landlord’s part in the enforcement of its rights under the provisions of the Lease Guaranty and this Agreement, (v) any defense to the obligation to make any payments required under the Lease Guaranty (vi) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Landlord, (vii) any defense based on any right of set-off or recoupment or

61



counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder, and (viii) notice of adverse change in Tenant’s financial condition, or any other fact that might materially increase the risk to Lease Guarantor with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notice or demand given to Lease Guarantor in any instance will not entitle Lease Guarantor to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances nor constitute Landlord’s waiver of its right to take any future action in any circumstance without notice or demand. Lease Guarantor agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety. Lease Guarantor agrees that (other than during a Section 5.9.1(c) Period) it shall be collaterally estopped from contesting, and shall be bound conclusively in any subsequent action, in any jurisdiction, by the judgment in any action by Landlord against Tenant in connection with the Lease or any other Lease/MLSA Related Agreement (wherever instituted) as if Lease Guarantor were a party to such action even if not so joined as a party unless Lease Guarantor attempted to join such action and was not permitted to do so by Landlord.
17.3.4.2    Lease Guarantor hereby waives, and agrees that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets, or redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent, or otherwise affect the performance by Lease Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by Landlord of, the Lease Guaranty. Lease Guarantor represents, warrants, and agrees that, as of the Commencement Date, its obligations under this Lease Guaranty were not subject to any offsets or defenses against Landlord or Tenant of any kind. Lease Guarantor further agrees that its obligations under this Lease Guaranty shall not be subject to any counterclaims (to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law), offsets, or defenses (except the defense of actual payment or performance) against Landlord or against Tenant of any kind which may arise in the future.
17.3.4.3    Lease Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of Tenant, and of any and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Lease Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that Landlord shall not have any duty to advise Lease Guarantor of any information known to Landlord (or otherwise) regarding such circumstances or risks.
17.3.5     Lease Guarantor Release .
17.3.5.1    Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the obligations and liabilities of Lease Guarantor hereunder shall not terminate, be released or be reduced in any respect (including if this Agreement is terminated for any reason) except as expressly set forth in this Section 17.3.5 .
17.3.5.2    Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 17.3.5 and Section 17.3.1.4 , the liability of Lease Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than with respect to any Guaranty Termination Obligations) shall automatically terminate, and Lease Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement including its obligation to pay any Guaranteed Obligations (other than with respect to any Guaranty Termination Obligations) to Landlord (the date upon which a release as described in this sentence occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “ Guaranty Release Date ”) (i) upon the occurrence of the expiration or termination of this Agreement in accordance with the express provisions of Section 16.2 ; (ii) upon the effectuation of the Replacement Structure and execution and effectiveness of a Replacement MLSA in accordance with the express provisions of Section 21.1 , following a Non-Consented Lease Termination; (iii) if, following a Non-Consented Lease Termination, (x) Landlord or any Landlord’s Lender, as applicable, elects in writing that the Replacement Structure shall not occur or (y) the Replacement Structure does not occur as a direct and proximate result of Landlord’s acts or failure to act in accordance with Article XXI , in each case, solely to the extent expressly provided in Section 21.3 ; or (iv) if (x) Manager shall be terminated for Cause by

62



Landlord expressly and in writing and (y) an arbitrator in a Cause Arbitration under clause (1) of the definition of “Terminated for Cause” subsequently determines that Cause did not exist for termination of Manager thereunder (it being understood that in the case of this clause (iv) , the Guaranty Release Date shall be deemed to be the date of Manager’s termination as set forth in clause (1) of the definition of “Terminated for Cause”). For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth in this Section 17.3.5.2 , the termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not result in the termination, release or reduction of Lease Guarantor’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement in any respect.
17.3.5.3    In connection with any release occurring on the Guaranty Release Date as described in Section 17.3.5.2 , Landlord shall take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Lease Guarantor to evidence such release.
17.3.5.4    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 17.3.5 or anything else otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) in the event that Manager is Terminated for Cause, then, except as set forth in Section 17.3.5.2(iv) , this Agreement shall not terminate with respect to Lease Guarantor in any respect (and Lease Guarantor shall not be released from any obligation or liability in respect of any aspect of the Guaranteed Obligations) and Lease Guarantor’s obligations shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with (and subject to) the terms of this Agreement, (ii) during any Transition Period, the obligations of Lease Guarantor, Tenant, Manager and Landlord hereunder shall continue in all respects for the duration of such Transition Period in accordance with (and subject to) the terms of this Agreement (it being understood that, in such event, Manager shall continue to act as manager pursuant to the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement and Article XXXVI of the Lease in accordance with Section 16.3.9 hereof), and (iii) in the event of a Non‑Consented Lease Termination, the obligations of Lease Guarantor and the other Parties hereunder shall be governed by Article XXI .
17.3.5.5    [Reserved]
17.3.5.6    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements to the contrary (and without intending to vitiate, limit or supersede Section 1.3 hereof), but subject to Section 17.3.5.2 , in the event this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements (or any portion of any of them) is unenforceable (for any reason whatsoever) against any Party to this Agreement, including, without limitation, as a result of rejection of this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding, the Lease Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect without any change or impairment (and shall not be terminated, released or reduced) in any respect, and shall be treated as if all of the obligations and liabilities of the Lease Guaranty were set forth, ab initio , in a separate instrument to which the Party against which this Agreement or any such Lease/MLSA Related Agreement (or any portion of any of them) is unenforceable is not a party.
17.3.5.7    Notwithstanding anything otherwise contained in this Agreement, for so long as any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any Guaranty Termination Obligations) payable pursuant to this Agreement has not been irrevocably paid in full in cash or if any Guaranteed Obligations have been reinstated in accordance with Section 17.3.1.4 , all provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement shall survive and remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary so that Landlord may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it in respect of the Lease Guaranty hereunder, including any and all rights available to Landlord in respect of any Lease Guarantor Event of Default or any nonpayment in full in cash of any and all such Guaranteed Obligations as and when provided hereunder; provided that the provisions of Article XI and Section 17.4 shall terminate on the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date.

63



17.4     Guarantor Covenants .
17.4.1     Asset Sales . Prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor shall not effect any Asset Sale unless:
(1)    Lease Guarantor receives consideration equal to at least the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by a responsible officer of Lease Guarantor or, with respect to any Asset Sale to an Affiliate, as determined pursuant to the opinion referred to in clause (2) below) of the disposed assets measured as of the date of such Asset Sale; and
(2)    in the case of any Asset Sale to an Affiliate of Lease Guarantor, (a) such Asset Sale is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors of Lease Guarantor; (b) Lease Guarantor obtains an opinion from an Approved Fairness Opinion Firm that such Asset Sale is fair to Lease Guarantor from a financial point of view after such Approved Fairness Opinion Firm conducts an independent assessment of all material terms of such Asset Sale; and (c) prior to the consummation of any such Asset Sale, (i) Lease Guarantor offers, in writing, to make such Asset Sale to Landlord on the same terms on which such Asset Sale is proposed to be made to such Affiliate and (ii) Landlord either declines such offer or fails to provide written notice of acceptance of such offer to Lease Guarantor within thirty (30) Business Days of the date such offer is made to Landlord (in which event Lease Guarantor may effect such Asset Sale only upon the same terms offered to Landlord or on terms less favorable to the applicable buyer than the terms offered to Landlord). To constitute a valid offer in accordance with clause (2)(c)(i) above, Lease Guarantor shall furnish to Landlord all material information made available to the purchaser in such Asset Sale, including at a minimum, basic information identifying the applicable assets, material acquisition terms, including, without limitation, the purchase price and reasonable historical financial and all other customary diligence materials and other information relating to the applicable assets to be sold and such additional information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord and in the possession or control of Lease Guarantor or its Affiliates.
17.4.2     Acceptance of Asset Sale Offer . If Landlord accepts any offer described in clause (2)(c)(i)  of Section 17.4.1 within the time limit and in the manner described in clause (2)(c)(ii)  of Section 17.4.1 , then Landlord (or any designee of Landlord) and Lease Guarantor shall promptly proceed to consummate the Asset Sale contemplated by such offer on the terms set forth in such offer; provided that the parties shall be entitled to a minimum period of forty five (45) days between acceptance of the offer and the closing. In the event Landlord (or such designee) fails to consummate such Asset Sale on such terms, then Landlord shall be deemed to have declined such offer for purposes of this Section 17.4 and Lease Guarantor may effect such Asset Sale only upon the same terms offered to Landlord or on terms less favorable to the applicable buyer than the terms offered to Landlord.
17.4.3     Dividends . In addition to any other applicable restrictions hereunder, prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor shall not, directly or indirectly, declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution with respect to its capital stock or other equity interests with any assets other than cash unless such dividend or distribution would not reasonably be expected to result in Lease Guarantor’s inability to perform its Lease Guaranty obligations under this Agreement.
17.4.4     Restricted Payments . In addition to the foregoing, prior to the earlier of (1) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (2) the date that is six years after the Commencement Date, Lease Guarantor shall not directly or indirectly (i) declare or pay, or cause to be declared or paid, any dividend, distribution, any other direct or indirect payment or transfer (in each case, in cash, stock, other property, a combination thereof or otherwise) with respect to any of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests, (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests, or (iii) engage in any other transaction with any direct or indirect holder of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests which is similar in purpose or effect to those described above (collectively, a “ Restricted Payment ”), except that Lease Guarantor can execute (1) any of the transactions outlined above if: (a) Lease Guarantor’s equity market capitalization after giving pro

64



forma effect to such dividend, distribution, or other transaction is at least $5.5 billion, (b) the amount of such dividend, distribution, or other transaction (together with any and all other such dividends and distributions and other transactions made under this clause (1)(b) but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any dividends, distributions or other transactions to be made under clause (1)(c) or (2) below in such fiscal year), does not exceed, in the aggregate, (x) 25% of the net proceeds, up to a cap of $25 million in any fiscal year, from the disposition of assets by Lease Guarantor and its subsidiaries, plus (y) $100 million from other sources in any fiscal year or (c) Lease Guarantor’s equity market capitalization after giving pro forma effect to such dividend, distribution, or other transaction is at least $4.5 billion and the aggregate amount of such dividends, distributions or other transactions made under this clause (c) (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any dividends, distributions or other transactions made under clause (1)(b) above or clause (2) below in such fiscal year) is less than or equal to $125 million in any fiscal year and is funded solely by asset sale proceeds or (2) any transaction described in clause (ii) above so long as the aggregate amount of all such transactions made under this clause (2) (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any such transactions made from and after the Commencement Date under clause (1)(b) or (1)(c) above) is less than or equal to $199,500,000.00 (it being understood that from and after such time that the aggregate amount of all such transactions made from and after the Commencement Date under this clause (2) exceeds $199,500,000.00, no further transactions shall be permitted under this clause (2) ). Prior to the earlier of (1) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (2) the date that is six years after the Commencement Date, except as provided in clause (1)(a) or (1)(c) in the preceding sentence, any net proceeds from the disposition of assets by Lease Guarantor or its subsidiaries after the Commencement Date in excess of $25 million that are directly or indirectly distributed to, or otherwise received by, Lease Guarantor in any fiscal year shall not be used to fund any Restricted Payment.
17.4.5     Springing Covenants and Liens .
17.4.5.1    If at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor either (i) guaranties all or any portion of any Opco First Lien Debt (any such guaranty, an “ Opco Debt Guaranty ”), and the obligations under any such Opco Debt Guaranty are at any time secured by any property directly owned by CEC or any Springing Lien Subsidiary of CEC or (ii) causes all or any portion of the obligations under the Opco First Lien Debt to be at any time secured by any property directly owned by CEC or any Springing Lien Subsidiary of CEC (any and all such property in clauses (i) and (ii) , “ Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral ”), then, in each such instance and for so long as any such Opco Debt Guaranty or Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral is outstanding, Lease Guarantor shall, and shall cause any and all other grantors of Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral to grant, in the same security agreement documenting the grant of a security interest in the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral in favor of the Opco First Lien Debt (an “ Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest ”), to Landlord a lien (a “ Lease Guaranty Security Interest ”) on all Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral, which Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall secure all obligations of Lease Guarantor under the Lease Guaranty and shall rank pari passu with the Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest; provided that if the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral is limited solely to a pledge of Lease Guarantor’s or any other such grantor’s equity interest in CEOC, then neither Lease Guarantor nor any other such grantor shall be required to grant a Lease Guaranty Security Interest. Any Lease Guaranty Security Interest granted pursuant to this Section 17.4.5 shall be automatically released upon the earlier of (i) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (ii) the release of the respective Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (unless such release occurs in connection with a refinancing of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt with a Non-Third Party Financing, in which case such Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be automatically released upon the repayment or refinancing (other than with other Non-Third Party Financing) of such Non-Third Party Financing). Any Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be a “silent” security interest, and Landlord shall have no voting, enforcement or default-related rights with respect to such security interest unless and until the earlier of (x) the occurrence of a Lease Guarantor Event of Default and (y) the occurrence of any event that would permit the holders of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt to take enforcement actions in respect of such Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest, at which time Landlord shall be permitted to exercise all rights available to a secured creditor with respect to the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral, including all rights available to any holder of an Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest. Lease Guarantor shall cause the beneficiaries of any Opco First Lien Debt Security

65



Interest to enter into and become bound by an intercreditor agreement that is consistent with this provision and that is reasonably acceptable to Lease Guarantor and Landlord and containing, among other things, provisions governing the pari passu nature of any Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest and Lease Guaranty Security Interest, and the “waterfall” by which any proceeds of, or collections on, the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral will be distributed on an equal and ratable basis as between the beneficiaries of any Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest and Lease Guaranty Security Interest.
17.4.5.2    If at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor becomes obligated on any Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (it being understood that a customary equity pledge solely of Lease Guarantor’s equity interests in CEOC shall not be deemed to be an Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest, unless such pledge includes covenants other than those customary for a pledge of such type or specifically relating to the pledge of equity interests in CEOC ( e.g. , covenants concerning Lease Guarantor’s or such other grantor’s existence and place of organization, other covenants relating to maintaining the validity, enforceability, perfection, and priority of the pledge and prohibitions of liens on the pledged collateral)), and the obligations that are the subject of such Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest are refinanced at any time as part of a Non-Third Party Financing, then any covenant provisions included in such Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest that are applicable to Lease Guarantor and its subsidiaries shall be automatically incorporated into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis , and shall apply to Lease Guarantor and any such subsidiaries, for the benefit of Landlord hereunder. Any such covenants that are so incorporated into this Agreement shall automatically cease to apply to Lease Guarantor and any such subsidiaries upon the earlier of (x) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (y) the release of the respective Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (unless such release occurs in connection with a refinancing of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt with a Non-Third Party Financing, in which case such Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be automatically released upon the repayment or refinancing (other than with other Non-Third Party Financing) of such Non-Third Party Financing).
17.4.6     Lease Guaranty Unaffected . Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the making of the Lease Guaranty by CEC to Landlord was a material, critical and indispensable inducement to Landlord agreeing to enter into this Agreement and the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements, and, but for the fact that CEC has delivered the Lease Guaranty to Landlord, Landlord would not have entered into this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements. For this and other reasons, it is the intent of the Parties that, other than as expressly provided in Section 17.3.5 , the Lease Guaranty will continue in full force and effect under any and all circumstances and shall not be terminated, released, impaired or reduced in any respect.
17.5     Lease Guarantor Representations and Warranties .
17.5.1     Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law . Lease Guarantor represents and warrants as of the First Amendment Date that Lease Guarantor (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware; (ii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification; and (iii) is in compliance with all Applicable Law where the failure to comply would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on Lease Guarantor’s ability to pay the Guaranteed Obligations or perform its other obligations in accordance with the terms hereof.
17.5.2     Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Guaranteed Obligations . The execution, delivery, and performance of the Lease Guaranty and all instruments and documents to be delivered by Lease Guarantor hereunder (i) are within Lease Guarantor’s corporate powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary or proper corporate action, (iii) are not in contravention of any provision of Lease Guarantor’s articles or certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (iv) will not violate any law or regulations, or any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (v) will not conflict with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease,

66



agreement, or other instrument to which Lease Guarantor is a party or by which Lease Guarantor or any of its property is bound, except as would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Lease Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder, (vi) will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the property of Lease Guarantor (except to the extent provided in Section 17.4.5 ), and (vii) do not require the consent or approval of any governmental body, agency, authority, or any other person except those already obtained, except as would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Lease Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. This Lease Guaranty is duly executed and delivered on behalf of Lease Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Lease Guarantor, enforceable against Lease Guarantor in accordance with its terms (subject to any applicable principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights).
17.6     Bankruptcy .
17.6.1    Lease Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that it shall not file a petition for relief as a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy, insolvency, debt composition, moratorium, receiver or similar federal or state laws for the purpose of limiting its liability hereunder, including by operation of Section 502(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar provisions. Lease Guarantor further agrees and acknowledges that, if, notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall seek any such relief, Lease Guarantor’s violation of this provision will constitute “cause” to dismiss any such proceeding, including under Section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code, and Lease Guarantor will not and will not attempt to (and will oppose any effort by any other party to) oppose any motion or request by Landlord or any other party to dismiss any such proceeding.
17.6.2    Lease Guarantor further agrees and acknowledges that its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement shall be fully enforceable against Lease Guarantor in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding, and Lease Guarantor hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that it will not and will not attempt to (and will oppose any effort by any other party to) impair, reduce, cap, limit, or otherwise restrict the claims of Landlord in any such proceeding including, but not limited to, by operation of Section 502(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.
17.6.3    Lease Guarantor further agrees and acknowledges that it will not and will not attempt to (and will oppose any effort by any other party to) characterize in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding Landlord’s claims to recover any Guaranteed Obligations as claims of a lessor for damages resulting from the termination of a lease of real property.

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

In the event any Party to a dispute (the “ Subsequent Related Dispute ”) designates it as being related to a prior or pending dispute (the “ Prior Related Dispute ”), the Subsequent Related Dispute shall be referred for resolution to the Expert to whom the Prior Related Dispute was referred (the “ Initial Expert ”). If a Party objects to the designation of a Subsequent Related Dispute as being related to a Prior Related Dispute, the objection shall be resolved by the Initial Expert. If the Initial Expert concludes that the disputes are related, the Subsequent Related Dispute shall be resolved by the Initial Expert in accordance with this Section 18.2 , and to the extent practical, issues in the Subsequent Related Dispute that are the same or substantially similar as in the Prior Related Dispute, shall be resolved in a manner consistent with the resolution of such issues in the Prior Related Dispute. If the Initial Expert concludes that the Subsequent Related Dispute is not related to the Prior Related Dispute, the Subsequent Related Dispute shall be referred to an Expert selected in accordance with the introductory paragraph of this Section 18.2 .
18.2.1.2    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a claim is asserted involving an alleged Event of Default under this Agreement (a “ Default Claim ”), any and all issues, whether legal, factual or otherwise, relating to such Default Claim shall be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of New York in accordance with the provisions hereof regardless of whether any of such issues would otherwise be required to be referred to an Expert for resolution under a provision of this Agreement; provided that, subject to Section 18.2.3 , any decision by an Expert made in accordance with this Agreement which was rendered prior to the assertion of a Default Claim and which relates to such Default Claim shall be considered final and binding in any court proceeding involving such Default Claim, it being the intent and understanding of the Parties that, except for specific issues that were determined by an Expert before a Default Claim is asserted, all issues relating

68



to such Default Claim shall be resolved exclusively by the court in the action or proceeding involving the Default Claim.
18.2.2     Restrictions on Expert . THE EXPERT SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO VARY OR IGNORE THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING SECTION 18.7.5 , AND SHALL BE BOUND BY APPLICABLE LAW.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, neither the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event nor the taking of any action by Manager in accordance with this Section 20.10 shall (i) result in the termination or derogation of Lease Guarantor’s obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in any respect, or (ii) without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, be deemed to vitiate, limit or supersede any of the provisions, terms or conditions of the Lease.

In addition, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Manager may, due to local business conditions or otherwise, waive or modify any comparable terms of other management agreements heretofore or hereafter entered into by Manager or its Affiliates; provided , however , for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing contained in this Section 20.11 shall be deemed to vitiate, limit or supersede Manager’s obligation to manage the Operation of the Managed Facility in a Non-Discriminatory manner, in accordance with the Operating Standard and subject to Manager’s Standard of Care.
20.12     Compliance with Law . Tenant and Manager shall each exercise their respective rights, perform their respective obligations and take all other actions required or permitted to be taken by each of them hereunder in compliance with all Applicable Laws.

Tenant shall provide prompt written notice to Manager and Lease Guarantor of the receipt of any written notice from Landlord (or any Landlord’s Lender) delivered pursuant to the Lease, including any notice of breach under the Lease or any termination notice delivered under the Lease, in each case, including a copy of the relevant notice.

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

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and covenants set forth in this Agreement, and in consideration of the entry by the Parties into the Lease/MLSA Related Agreements as





more particularly described in Section 1.3 below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS, EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES
1.1     Definitions . All capitalized terms used without definition in the body of this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit B attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.
1.2     Exhibits and Schedules . The exhibits and schedules listed in the table of contents and attached hereto are incorporated in, and deemed to be an integral part of, this Agreement.
1.3     Structure of this Agreement; Integration; Consideration . Tenant, Manager, CEC and Landlord each acknowledge and agree that, as of the Commencement Date, certain operating efficiencies and value will be achieved as a result of Tenant’s engagement of Manager and/or Manager’s Affiliates to operate and manage the Managed Facilities, the Other Managed Facilities and the Other Managed Resorts that would not be possible to achieve if unrelated managers were engaged to operate each of the Managed Facilities, the Other Managed Facilities and the Other Managed Resorts. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Parties would not enter into this Agreement, the Lease or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements absent the understanding and agreement of the Parties that the entire ownership, operation, management, lease and Lease Guaranty relationship with respect to the Managed Facilities, including the lease of the Managed Facilities pursuant to the Lease, the use of the Managed Facilities IP and the use of the Total Rewards Program, together with the other related Intellectual Property arrangements contemplated hereunder and under the Omnibus Agreement, all of the other covenants, obligations and agreements of the Parties hereunder and all of the covenants, obligations and agreements of each of the parties under each of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements, form part of a single integrated transaction. Accordingly, it is the express intention and agreement of the Parties that (a) each of the provisions of this Agreement, including (without limitation) the management and Lease Guaranty rights and obligations hereunder, form part of a single integrated agreement and shall not be or be deemed to be separate or severable agreements (except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 16.4 , Section 16.6 and Section 16.7 ) and (b) the Parties would not be entering into any of this Agreement, the Lease, or the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements without, in each case, contemporaneously entering into each and every other one of such agreements, and, accordingly, in the event of any dispute or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or any other proceedings in respect of any Party, such Party will not (and all other Parties will oppose any effort to) separate, sever, reject, assume or assign (or attempt to, or support any other entity in attempting to, separate, sever, reject, assume or assign) any one of such agreements without concurrently treating each and every of the other of such agreements together and in the same manner, so that all such agreements are concurrently treated as one integrated agreement that is not separable or severable; provided , however , this Section 1.3 shall not limit the right of any Leasehold Lender to (x) make a Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Termination as expressly provided in Section 13.1.2 hereof or (y) enter into a New Lease and terminate this Agreement as expressly provided in Article XVII of the Lease, in each case under clause (x) or (y) subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Lease. Without limiting or vitiating any of the foregoing portion of this Section 1.3 (and, with respect to the Lease Guaranty, as more particularly provided in Section 17.3.5.6 hereof), each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any attempt (by any Party or otherwise) to separate, sever, reject, assume or assign the obligations of any Party under any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements, the obligations of all other Parties hereunder and thereunder (but, subject, in all events, to the provisions, terms and conditions of Article XIII , Section 16.4 , Section 16.6 , Section 16.7 and Article XXI hereof) shall continue unabated and in full force and effect. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding that each of the provisions of this Agreement, the Lease and the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements form part of a single integrated agreement, no Party shall have any obligation, or be deemed to have any obligation, to any other Party hereto (or otherwise be bound by any agreement to or

Except for Manager’s indemnification obligations set forth in Article XII , Tenant agrees that, as between Tenant and Manager, Manager will have no liability for monetary damages or monetary relief to Tenant for any violation of Manager’s Standard of Care or claims of breach of any fiduciary duties or duties as agent unless such violation or breach was due to an action or event giving rise to a Manager Event of Default (disregarding any applicable notice and/or cure periods for such purpose).

Tenant agrees that Manager will not be in breach of its duties as agent hereunder if, solely as a result of Manager following the Manager’s System Policies, certain aspects of the Manager’s System Policies have the effect of providing greater benefit to properties owned or operated by Manager’s Affiliates collectively or third parties than to the Managed Facilities and the Joliet Managed Facility, taken as a whole, so long as the Manager’s System Policies (i) are designed and executed in accordance with Manager’s Standard of Care, (ii) are Non-Discriminatory to the Managed Facilities and the Joliet Managed Facility, taken as a whole, in both design and implementation and (iii) are not otherwise violative of or inconsistent with any provision of

this Agreement; provided that any revisions to the Manager’s System Policies after the Commencement Date shall be implemented in a Non-Discriminatory manner; and provided , further , that Manager shall give Tenant and Landlord prior written notice of such revisions and no such revisions shall result in a change in the overall quality and/or the level of service at the Managed Facilities below that required in Section 2.1.4(a) and otherwise under this Agreement without Tenant’s and Landlord’s prior written consent thereto. The foregoing shall not be deemed to excuse any breach by Manager of any of the express provisions of this Agreement.

Neither the exercise (directly or indirectly) by Manager of its rights and responsibilities hereunder nor any of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements shall serve, or be construed, to (x) grant to Manager a possessory or other real property interest in the Leased Property or any portion thereof or (y) limit or subrogate any or all of Tenant’s rights, obligations and responsibilities vis-à-vis Landlord under the Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, notices under this Agreement sent by any other Party hereto to Manager (or by Manager to any other Party hereto) shall not be deemed received by (or sent by) Tenant, and vice versa, except to the extent Tenant expressly authorizes Manager to do so on its behalf, and in the case of notices to or from Landlord, so advises Landlord of such authorization (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of Section 2.5 hereof, that notices or other communications sent by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to the Lease are not required to also be sent to Manager or (except to the extent provided in the last sentence of Section 16.1 of the Lease) to Lease Guarantor, in order to be effective thereunder).

Tenant shall be deemed to have approved that portion of any proposed operating plan and budget to which Tenant has not approved in writing or objected to in writing within such forty-five (45) day period. If Tenant objects to any portion of the proposed operating plan and budget to which it is entitled to object within such forty-five (45) day period, Tenant and Manager shall meet within twenty (20) days after Manager’s receipt of Tenant’s objections and discuss such objections, and then Manager shall submit written revisions to the proposed operating plan and budget after such discussion. Tenant and Manager shall use good faith efforts to reach an agreement on the operating plan and budget prior to January 1 of each Operating Year. The proposed operating plan and budget, as modified to reflect the revisions, if any, agreed to by Tenant and Manager pursuant to Section 5.1.3 , shall become the “ Annual Budget ” for the next Operating Year. Tenant shall act reasonably and exercise prudent business judgment in approving of, or objecting to, all or any portion of any proposed operating plan and budget.
5.1.3     Resolution of Disputes for Annual Budget . If Tenant and Manager, despite their good faith efforts, are unable to reach final agreement on the proposed operating plan prior to January 1 of each Operating Year, or otherwise have a dispute regarding the Annual Budget as contemplated by this Section 5.1 , those portions of such proposed operating plan that are not in dispute shall become effective on January 1 of such Operating Year and, pending Tenant’s and Manager’s resolution of such dispute, the prior year’s Annual Budget shall govern the items in dispute, except that the budgeted expenses provided for such item(s) in the prior year’s Annual Budget (or, if earlier, the last Annual Budget in which the budgeted expenses for such disputed item(s) were approved) shall be increased by the percentage increase in the Index from January 1 of the prior Operating Year (or, if applicable, each additional Operating Year between the prior Operating Year and the Operating Year in which there became effective the last Annual Budget in which the budgeted expenses for such disputed item(s) were approved). Upon the resolution of any such dispute by agreement of Tenant and Manager, such resolution shall control as to such item(s). For purposes of clarity, all disputes regarding the Annual Budget shall be resolved (if at all) between Tenant and Manager directly and no such dispute shall subject to Expert Resolution through the procedures described in Article XVIII unless Tenant and Manager (each acting in its sole discretion) agree in writing at the time any such dispute arises to mutually submit the subject dispute to Expert Resolution under Article XVIII .
5.1.4     Operation in Accordance with Annual Budget . Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Managed Facilities in accordance with the Annual Budget for the applicable Operating Year (subject, in the case of disputed items, to the provisions of Section 5.1.3 ). Nevertheless, Tenant and Manager acknowledge that preparation of the Annual Budgets is inherently inexact and that Manager may vary from any Annual Budget (a) to the extent Manager reasonably determines that such variance is required by any Leasehold Financing Document and/or the Lease, (b) in connection with the matters set forth in Section 5.1.5 , or (c) by reallocating up to ten percent (10%) of any line item in such Annual Budget to any other line item without Tenant’s prior approval. Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, Manager shall not incur costs or expenses or make expenditures that would cause the total expenditures for the Operation of the Managed Facilities to exceed the aggregate amount of expenditures provided in the Annual Budget by more than five percent (5%) without Tenant’s prior approval. Tenant acknowledges that the actual financial performance of the Managed Facilities during any Operating Year will likely vary from the projections contained in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, and Manager shall not be deemed to have made any guarantee,

15



warranty or representation whatsoever in connection with the Annual Budget or consistency of actual results with the operating plan.
5.1.5     Exceptions to Annual Budget . Notwithstanding Section 5.1.4 , Tenant acknowledges and agrees as follows:
5.1.5.1    The amount of certain expenses provided for in the Annual Budget for any Operating Year will vary based on the occupancy, use and demand for goods and services provided at the Managed Facilities and, accordingly, to the extent that occupancy, use and demand for such goods and services for any Operating Year exceeds the occupancy, use and demand projected in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, such Annual Budget shall be deemed to include corresponding increases in such variable expenses; provided that the percentage increase in the variable expense over budget shall not exceed the percentage increase in corresponding revenue over projections. To the extent that occupancy, use and demand for goods and services provided at the Managed Facilities for any Operating Year is less than the occupancy, use and demand projected in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, Manager will make commercially reasonable adjustments to the Operation of the Managed Facilities in an effort to reduce such variable expenses;
5.1.5.2    The amount of certain expenses provided for in the Annual Budget for any Operating Year are not within the ability of Manager to control, including real estate and personal property taxes, applicable Gaming taxes, insurance premiums, utility rates, license and permit fees and certain charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement, and accordingly, Manager shall have the right to pay from the Operating Account the actual amount of such uncontrollable expenses without reference to the amounts provided for with respect thereto in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year ( provided that Manager shall promptly provide Tenant with a reasonably detailed written explanation of all variances in excess of five percent (5%) between the budgeted and actual amounts of any such uncontrollable expenses);
5.1.5.3    If any expenditures are required on an emergency basis to (a) preserve or repair the Managed Facilities or other property or (b) avoid potential injury to persons or material damage to the Managed Facilities or other property, Manager shall have the right to make such expenditures, whether or not provided for, or within the amounts provided for, in the Annual Budget for the Operating Year in question, to the extent reasonably required to avoid or mitigate such injury or material damage; and
5.1.5.4    If any expenditures are required to comply with, or cure or prevent any violation of, any Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease, Manager shall, following written notice to Tenant (except in the case of emergency, in which case the provisions of Section 5.1.5.3 shall govern) have the right to make such expenditures, whether or not provided for or within the amounts provided for in the Annual Budget for the Operating Year in question, as may be necessary to comply with, or cure or prevent the violation of, such Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease.
5.1.6     Modification to Annual Budget . Manager shall have the right from time to time during each Operating Year to propose modifications to the Annual Budget then in effect based on actual operations during the elapsed portion of the applicable Operating Year and Manager’s reasonable business judgment as to what will transpire during the remainder of such Operating Year. Modifications to such Annual Budget, if any, shall be subject to Tenant’s prior written approval; provided that in no event shall Tenant have the right to withhold its approval to any material modifications on account of changes to costs of insurance premiums, operating supplies and equipment, charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement or other amounts that are not within Manager’s or its Affiliates’ ability to control (e.g., taxes, assessments, utilities, license or permit fees, inspection fees and any impositions imposed by any Governmental Authority).

16



5.1.7     Compliance with Lease . Without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties agree that (i) nothing in this Section 5.1 is intended, nor shall it be construed, to limit, vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease and (ii) subject to the foregoing clause (i) and compliance with any requirements of the Lease, so long as Tenant is a Controlled Subsidiary of CEC and Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of CEC, Tenant and Manager may modify the requirements of this Section 5.1 with respect to the subject matter thereof from time to time in their discretion; provided that any such modifications shall be of no force or effect unless they (x) are Non-Discriminatory and (y) do not conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Lease/MLSA Related Agreement; and provided , further , that if any such modification would have a material adverse effect on any Party, then such modification shall require the prior written consent of such Party in its sole discretion.
5.2     Maintenance and Repair; Capital Improvements .
5.2.1     Required Maintenance and Repair and Capital Improvements . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.2 , Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall perform or cause to be performed all ordinary maintenance and repairs and all such Routine Capital Improvements and Building Capital Improvements: (a) as are necessary or advisable to keep the Managed Facilities in good working order and condition and in compliance with the Operating Standard (subject to the Annual Budget and Section 5.1.4) and Operating Limitations; and (b) without limiting the preceding clause (a) , as Manager reasonably determines are necessary or advisable to comply with, and cure or prevent the violation of, any Applicable Laws or the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease. Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall perform or cause to be performed all such Routine Capital Improvements and Building Capital Improvements as are provided in the Annual Budget or otherwise approved in writing by Tenant.
5.2.2     Discretionary Capital Improvements . Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall cause to be performed all ROI Capital Improvements approved by Tenant (in the Annual Budget or otherwise in writing in advance), and shall supervise such work and ensure that the performance of such work is undertaken in a manner reasonably calculated to avoid or minimize interference with the Operation of the Managed Facilities. Except as provided in the applicable Annual Budget or proposed by Manager and approved by Tenant, Tenant shall notify Manager of any ROI Capital Improvements proposed to be undertaken by Tenant and Manager may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, object to the undertaking of such ROI Capital Improvements based on Manager’s reasonable determination that such ROI Capital Improvements will not be consistent with the Operating Standard (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that such ROI Capital Improvements would constitute a breach of the terms of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facilities, including that such ROI Capital Improvements would unreasonably interfere with the Managed Facilities’ operating performance and the ability of Manager to Operate the Managed Facilities in accordance with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease). Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any notice from Manager alleging an objection with respect to any ROI Capital Improvement proposed by Tenant, Tenant shall respond in detail to such allegation and, if the matter is not resolved by Tenant and Manager within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s response, the determination of whether such capital improvement does not, or when constructed will not, be consistent with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facilities shall be submitted to the Expert for Expert Resolution in accordance with Article XVIII . If the Expert determines that such capital improvement does not, or when constructed will not, comply with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facilities, Tenant shall promptly take such actions as the Expert shall require to bring such capital improvement into compliance with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or to cause such capital improvement to not unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facilities. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties acknowledge that any determination made by an Expert under this Agreement shall be subject to Section 18.2.3 and, without limitation, to the extent

17



Landlord believes any non-compliance with the Lease exists, the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease shall govern with respect thereto.
5.2.3     Remediation of Design or Construction Defect . If the design or construction of the Managed Facilities is defective, and the defective condition presents a risk of injury to persons or damage to the Managed Facilities or other property, or results in non-compliance with Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease, then Manager shall have the authority (subject to the terms of the Lease) to, at Tenant’s expense, perform all work necessary to remedy such design or construction defect in the Managed Facilities. Tenant acknowledges that such work shall be performed at Tenant’s expense and that Manager shall not use funds in the Operating Account in remedying such defects.
5.2.4     Compliance with Lease . Without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties agree that nothing in this Section 5.2 is intended, nor shall it be construed, to grant to Manager more authority over maintenance, repair and improvements of the Leased Property or any portion thereof than Tenant has under the Lease, or to require Manager to take actions in respect of the Leased Property or any portion thereof beyond Tenant’s authority with respect thereto, it being understood that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be construed to, limit, vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease.

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

The Parties agree that in the event a portion of the Leased Property is sold by Landlord and, in connection therewith, pursuant to Article XVIII of the Lease, the Lease is severed into two (2) leases, one lease comprised of a new lease covering the severed, sold portion of the Leased Property (the “ Severed Lease ”), and the other lease comprised of the Lease covering the balance of the Leased Property that was not so sold and severed (the Lease as so severed, the “ Balance Lease ”), then, subject to and in accordance with Article XVIII of the Lease, this Agreement shall no longer govern the management of such sold and severed portion of the Leased Property, and the Parties (other than Landlord) and the applicable successor landlord shall enter into the Severed Lease and a new management and lease support agreement (the “ Severed MLSA ”), which Severed MLSA shall include a guaranty from Lease Guarantor with respect to all of Tenant’s monetary obligations under such Severed Lease, on terms and conditions identical to the terms and conditions of the Balance Lease and this Agreement (or as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the Parties in their respective sole and absolute discretion), with respect to such sold and severed portion of the Leased Property. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the entry into such Severed Lease and Severed MLSA, the obligations of the Parties thereafter arising (i) with respect to such sold and severed portion of the Leased Property (and, without limitation Lease Guarantor’s obligations with respect to such Severed Lease) shall no longer be governed by this Agreement and shall be governed instead by the Severed MLSA and (ii) with respect to the balance of the Leased Property not so sold and severed (and, without limitation, Lease Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Balance Lease) shall be governed by this Agreement, it being understood that Lease Guarantor’s obligations in regards to the Balance Lease shall in all events continue to be governed by Article XVII hereof, and such obligations (and any obligations otherwise arising hereunder prior to the entry into such Severed Lease and Severed MLSA) shall not be terminated, limited or affected by or upon the entry into any such Severed Lease and Severed MLSA. For the avoidance of doubt, the Severed MLSA shall relate solely to the Severed Lease.

16.5     Termination of Manager .
16.5.1     General . The Parties agree that, except as provided in Section 16.2 and Section 16.5.2 , Manager may not be terminated as Manager hereunder for any reason (including in the case of a rejection of this Agreement in any bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution proceedings) unless the termination of Manager as Manager hereunder is expressly consented to in writing by (x) Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, and (y) Lease Guarantor, in its sole and absolute discretion. If Manager is terminated for any reason other than as provided in the preceding sentence, then such termination shall be null and void and Manager will continue to manage in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if such termination is in connection with events constituting a Non-Consented Lease Termination, then such termination shall be treated as a Non-Consented Lease Termination and the provisions of Article XXI hereof shall apply.
16.5.2     Termination for Cause . The Parties acknowledge and agree that Manager may be Terminated for Cause by Landlord expressly and in writing in accordance with the definition of “Terminated for Cause”. In the event that Manager is so Terminated for Cause by Landlord, Landlord may cause Tenant to engage a replacement manager that is identified by and acceptable to Landlord, on such provisions, terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and such replacement manager, including with respect to use of real property, intellectual property rights and other assets on or in connection with the Managed Facilities, in each case in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Lease Guaranty and all related provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as provided in Section 17.3.5.4 hereof; provided that, if a replacement manager is not so engaged within one (1) year from the date of Manager’s termination as set forth in the definition of “Terminated for Cause”, Lease Guarantor shall have the right to cause Tenant to engage a replacement manager that is identified by Lease Guarantor, subject to approval by Landlord (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), on substantially the same terms and conditions as are specified in this Agreement (or in the case of a replacement manager that is not an Affiliate of Tenant, such other terms and conditions that are reasonably satisfactory to Lease Guarantor and Landlord). No such replacement manager identified by Landlord shall be a Tenant Prohibited Person or a Lease Guarantor Prohibited Person and no such replacement manager identified by Lease Guarantor shall be a Landlord Prohibited Person.
16.6     Reduction in Scope of this Agreement Upon L1 Transfer and L2 Transfer . In the event of an L1 Transfer or an L2 Transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Section 22.2(vii) of the Lease or Section 22.2(viii) of the Lease, respectively, as of the effective date of such L1 Transfer or such L2 Transfer, as applicable, (a) each of the Managed Facilities that is subject to such L1 Transfer or such L2 Transfer, as applicable (each, a “ Transferred Facility ”), shall cease to be subject to the terms of this Agreement; (b) this Agreement shall no longer govern the Operation of any of the Transferred Facilities; and (c) the Lease Guarantor shall cease to have any obligations with respect to any of the Transferred Facilities arising from and after such effective date. In furtherance of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an L1 Transfer or an L2 Transfer, (i) this Agreement, including any and all of the exhibits and schedules hereto, shall be, automatically and without further action by any Party, deemed amended to the extent necessary to give effect to such L1 Transfer or such L2 Transfer, as applicable (including by amending Exhibit A to remove each of the applicable Managed Facilities and by amending any other exhibits and schedules as necessary or appropriate to reflect such L1 Transfer or such L2 Transfer, as applicable); and (ii) the obligations of the Parties hereunder, other than solely with respect to the Transferred Facilities (and, without limitation, Lease Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, other than solely with respect to the Transferred Facilities) shall continue to be governed by this Agreement, it being understood that Lease Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, other than solely in regards to the Transferred Facilities shall in all events continue to be governed by Article XVII hereof, and such obligations (and any obligations otherwise arising hereunder prior to the effective date of such L1 Transfer or such L2 Transfer, as applicable, including in respect of the Transferred Facilities) shall not be terminated, limited or affected by or upon such L1 Transfer or such L2 Transfer, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, no L1 Transfer and no L2

56



Transfer shall be deemed an Assignment, a Change of Control, a Substantial Transfer, a Transfer of Ownership Interests or a Sublease for purposes of this Agreement.
16.7     Permitted Facility Sublease . In the event of a Permitted Facility Sublease pursuant to and in accordance with Section 22.3(v) of the Lease and for so long as such Permitted Facility Sublease is in effect, (a) each Managed Facility that is subject to such Permitted Facility Sublease (a “ Subleased Facility ”) shall cease to be subject to the terms of this Agreement (other than the Lease Guaranty); (b) the Parties (other than the Lease Guarantor) shall cease to have any obligations hereunder with respect to any such Subleased Facility; and (c) this Agreement, including any and all of the exhibits and schedules hereto, shall be automatically and without further action by any Party deemed amended to the extent necessary to give effect to such Permitted Facility Sublease (including by amending Exhibit A and any other exhibits and schedules as necessary or appropriate to give effect to the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) and to reflect such Permitted Facility Sublease); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Lease Guaranty (and all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement comprising the Lease Guaranty) shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such Subleased Facility, (ii) without limitation of the foregoing clause (i), all of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement (except as set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b)) shall remain in full force and effect and (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations shall in all events continue and shall not be terminated, limited or affected by any Permitted Facility Sublease.

ARTICLE XVII

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

57



unconditional and irrevocable in all respects, irrespective of whether the process set forth in Section 17.2 has been commenced, completed or otherwise satisfied (but, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the occurrence of any Guaranty Release Date).
17.2     Notice and Guaranty Payment Process .
17.2.1     Guaranteed Obligations Other Than Guaranty Termination Obligations and Enforcement Costs . Lease Guarantor shall have no obligation to make any payment in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations (other than Guaranty Termination Obligations and any sums payable to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.2.4 hereof) unless and until Lease Guarantor receives notice in respect thereof from Landlord in accordance with this Section 17.2.1 , it being understood, however, that as provided in Section 17.1 , Landlord’s failure to deliver any notice shall not prevent or otherwise affect the existence or accrual of any Guaranteed Obligations. Landlord may give Lease Guarantor written notice of any event or circumstance that, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, is or would become a Tenant Lease Event of Default concurrently with notice to Tenant thereof, or at any time thereafter, which notice to Lease Guarantor shall specify in reasonable detail such actual or alleged event or circumstance and the payment amount or other relief demanded (each such notice to Lease Guarantor, a “ Lease Guaranty Claim ”). Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord, in full in cash, the amount of Guaranteed Obligations that are owed as may be specified in the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim immediately upon the occurrence of all of the following: (1) the event or circumstance set forth in the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim shall be a Tenant Lease Event of Default that is continuing, (2) with respect to any failure by Tenant to satisfy a monetary obligation that, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, is or would become a Tenant Lease Event of Default (each, a “ Monetary Tenant Default ”), Tenant or Lease Guarantor shall have failed to satisfy or cure such failure in full on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after Lease Guarantor’s receipt of the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim, and (3) with respect to any Monetary Tenant Default, Tenant or Lease Guarantor shall have failed to satisfy or cure such failure in full on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s deadline under the Lease (giving effect to any applicable notice and cure periods available to Tenant under the Lease, unless, at the time the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim is made, another Lease Guaranty Claim has been made and remains outstanding); provided that no Lease Guaranty Claim shall be required to be delivered other than with respect to Guaranteed Obligations described in clause (i) of Section 17.1 ; and provided , further , that the provisions of this Section 17.2.1 are not intended to expand in any way the definition or scope of the Guaranteed Obligations.
17.2.2     Guaranty Termination Obligations . Guaranteed Obligations comprising Guaranty Termination Obligations shall not be subject to the process described in Section 17.2.1 . Instead (subject to the final two (2) sentences of this Section 17.2.2 ), Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord, in full in cash, any and all known or demanded Guaranty Termination Obligations immediately following the Guaranty Release Date. Lease Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the full extent of all of the Guaranty Termination Obligations may not be known or demanded as of the Guaranty Release Date. Accordingly, to the extent that any amount of any portion of the Guaranty Termination Obligations is either not known or not demanded by Landlord as of the Guaranty Release Date, then Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord all of such portion of the Guaranty Termination Obligations, in full in cash, promptly upon subsequent demand by Landlord for such Guaranty Termination Obligations, and the failure or delay of Landlord to demand such payment shall not be a waiver of any right of Landlord to receive the Guaranty Termination Obligations in full.
17.2.3     Interest . If all or any part of any Guaranteed Obligation shall not be paid on or prior to Lease Guarantor’s deadline to so do as provided in this Section 17.2 , Lease Guarantor shall pay, immediately upon demand by Landlord, and without presentment, protest, or notice (each of which is hereby waived by Lease Guarantor to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), in addition to such Guaranteed Obligation, but without duplication of any interest accruing on such amounts pursuant to the Lease and otherwise payable as a Guaranteed Obligation (and without interest accruing on any interest), interest on the amount of such Guaranteed Obligation (including interest accruing during the pendency of

58



any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) five percentage points above the Prime Rate and (ii) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law, accruing from the date of Lease Guarantor’s deadline by which to make such payment under this Section 17.2 .
17.2.4     Enforcement Costs . If Landlord or Lease Guarantor brings an action or other proceeding against the other to enforce or interpret any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or any instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement, or by reason of any breach or default hereunder or thereunder, the Party substantially prevailing in any such action or proceeding and any appeal thereupon shall be paid all of its costs and reasonable documented outside attorneys’ fees incurred therein.
17.3     Guaranty Provisions .
17.3.1     Nature of Lease Guaranty .
17.3.1.1    Until such time as Lease Guarantor has paid in full in cash all of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any and all Guaranty Termination Obligations, Lease Guarantor shall continue to be liable under the Lease Guaranty (except solely if and to the extent expressly provided in Section 17.3.5 below). Lease Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations (A) shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, whether or not notice thereof is given to Lease Guarantor (in each case subject to the final sentence of this Section 17.3.1.1 ): (i) any agreement or stipulation between Landlord and Tenant extending the time of performance under, or any other agreement, amendment, modification, supplement or other instrument modifying any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in, the Lease; (ii) any renewal or extension of the Lease pursuant to an option granted in the Lease, if any; (iii) any waiver by Landlord, or failure of Landlord to enforce, any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in the Lease or any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in any modifications thereof; (iv) any assignment of the Lease, or any subletting or subsubletting of, or any other occupancy arrangements in respect of, all or any part of the Managed Facilities (in each case, subject to Section 17.3.5) ; (v) any release, waiver, consent, indulgence, forbearance or other action, inaction or omission by Landlord or otherwise under or in respect of the Lease or any other instrument or agreement; (vi) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership or trusteeship affecting, Tenant, Landlord or any other Party or their respective successors or assigns or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective assets, or any actual or attempted rejection, assumption, assignment, separation, severance, or recharacterization of the Lease or any portion thereof, or any discharge of liability thereunder, in connection with any such proceeding or otherwise; (vii) any other defenses, other than a defense of payment or performance in full, as the case may be, of the Guaranteed Obligations; (viii) the existence of any claim, setoff, counterclaim, defense or other rights that may be at any time be available to, or asserted by, Lease Guarantor or Tenant against Landlord, whether in connection with the Lease, the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise; (ix) any breach by (or any act or omission of any nature of) Landlord under the Lease; (x) (except if Article XXI requires implementation of a Replacement Structure, and such Replacement Structure does not occur as a direct and proximate result of Landlord’s acts or failure to act in accordance with Article XXI , solely to the extent expressly provided in Section 21.3 ) any breach by (or any act or omission of any nature of) Landlord under this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements; (xi) any law or statute that may operate to cap, limit, or otherwise restrict the claims of a lessor of real property, including, but not limited to, Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code; (xii) the integration of the Lease Guaranty together with the other components of this Agreement (as opposed to the Lease Guaranty having been made by Lease Guarantor as an independent, standalone instrument); (xiii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease; (xiv) the failure of Landlord to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of this Agreement, the Lease or otherwise; (xv) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (including the Lease) for any reason whatsoever (subject, in each case, to Section 17.3.5 and Article XXI of this Agreement); and/or

59



(xvi) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the obligations of Tenant under the Lease or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Landlord that might vary the risk of Lease Guarantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, Lease Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety and (B) are in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempts to collect or any other condition or contingency. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement or the Lease to the contrary, Lease Guarantor shall not be subject to (and the Lease Guaranty will not be applicable with respect to) any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification of the terms of the Lease that increases Tenant’s monetary obligations thereunder or, subject to Section 17.3.1.8 , Section 17.3.1.9 and Section 17.3.1.10 hereof, that is otherwise adverse to the rights of Tenant and/or Lease Guarantor, unless Lease Guarantor shall have expressly consented thereto in writing (in its sole and absolute discretion); provided , however , that Lease Guarantor shall, in all events, remain liable for (and the Lease Guaranty will be applicable with respect to) any and all Guaranteed Obligations that would exist without giving effect to any such amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification of the terms of the Lease that increases Tenant’s monetary obligations thereunder; provided , further , however , for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this sentence is intended to vitiate or supersede Section 17.3.1.8 , Section 17.3.1.9 and Section 17.3.1.10 hereof.
17.3.1.2    Subject to Section 17.3.5 , the liability of Lease Guarantor under the Lease Guaranty shall be an absolute, direct, immediate, continuing and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectability, may not be revoked by Lease Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to all of the Guaranteed Obligations notwithstanding any attempted revocation by Lease Guarantor and shall not be conditional or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Lease or any other documents or instruments relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, i ncluding any Party’s lack of authority or lawful right to enter into such document on such Party’s behalf, or the pursuit by Landlord of any remedies Landlord may have. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the liability of Lease Guarantor under the Lease Guaranty shall be unaffected by (a) the absence of any action to enforce the Lease Guaranty, any other obligation of Lease Guarantor hereunder, the Lease or any other instrument or agreement, or the waiver or consent by Landlord with respect to any of the provisions of any of them; or (b) the existence, value, or condition of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Landlord in respect thereof (including, without limitation, the release of any such security).
17.3.1.3    Subject to Section 17.3.5 , the Lease Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
17.3.1.4    In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Tenant or Lease Guarantor, the Guaranteed Obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Landlord as a preference, fraudulent transfer or for any other reason. Any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes under the Lease Guaranty.
17.3.1.5    The Lease Guaranty shall continue in full force and be binding upon Lease Guarantor, its successors and assigns, in accordance with its terms. Lease Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.
17.3.1.6    The Lease Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Landlord and its permitted successors and assigns, including any Landlord’s Lender to which the Lease has been assigned and its permitted successors and assigns.
17.3.1.7    Lease Guarantor, at its expense, during the Term shall take such commercially reasonable actions as may be reasonably required to obtain and maintain such required

60



approvals or authorizations from the applicable Governmental Authorities to permit Lease Guarantor to guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder.
17.3.1.8    Without limitation of any of the other provisions, terms, and conditions hereof, Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the implementation of a Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Assumption, this Agreement (including the Lease Guaranty) shall remain in full force and effect and Lease Guarantor shall be obligated in all respects under the Lease Guaranty without any termination, reduction, impairment or reduction whatsoever, irrespective of whether any of the following shall have occurred (whether or not notice thereof is given to Lease Guarantor) (in each and any such case, irrespective of whether Lease Guarantor shall execute an affirmation or reaffirmation of its obligations under the Lease Guaranty, or otherwise affirm or reaffirm its obligations hereunder in connection therewith): (i) any foreclosure or such other termination of Tenant’s interest in the Lease or of any or all of the equity in Tenant, (ii) any other exercise of remedies by the applicable Leasehold Lender, (iii) any changes in the nature of the relationship between Tenant, on the one hand, and Lease Guarantor and Manager, on the other hand, including by reason of the replacement of Tenant with a Qualified Transferee (as defined in the Lease) that is unrelated to Lease Guarantor or Manager, or (iv) any changes or modifications with respect to the Lease of any nature in connection with such Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Assumption pursuant to and contemplated by the third to last paragraph of Section 22.2 of the Lease. LEASE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CONTENTION THAT ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17.3.1.8 ARE UNENFORCEABLE, AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED TO ASSERT TO THE CONTRARY.
17.3.1.9    Without limitation of any of the other provisions, terms, and conditions hereof, Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that if a New Lease is successfully entered into in accordance with Section 17.1(f) of the Lease, and, in connection therewith, the applicable Leasehold Lender has elected to proceed in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) of the Lease, then, in any such event, this Agreement (including the Lease Guaranty) shall remain in full force and effect and Lease Guarantor shall be obligated in all respects under the Lease Guaranty without any termination, reduction, impairment or reduction whatsoever, irrespective of whether any of the following shall have occurred (whether or not notice thereof is given to Lease Guarantor) (in each and any such case, irrespective of whether Lease Guarantor shall execute an affirmation or reaffirmation of its obligations under the Lease Guaranty, or otherwise affirm or reaffirm its obligations hereunder in connection therewith): (i) any foreclosure or such other termination of Tenant’s interest in the Lease or of any or all of the equity in Tenant or any other exercise of remedies by the applicable Leasehold Lender, (ii) any termination of the Lease, (iii) any changes in the nature of the relationship between Tenant, on the one hand, and Lease Guarantor and Manager on the other hand, including by reason of the replacement of Tenant with a Qualified Transferee (as defined in the Lease) that is unrelated to Lease Guarantor or Manager, or (iv) the entry into the New Lease on the terms and conditions contemplated under Section 17.1(f) of the Lease. LEASE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CONTENTION THAT ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17.3.1.9 ARE UNENFORCEABLE, AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED TO ASSERT TO THE CONTRARY.
17.3.1.10    Without limitation of any of the other provisions, terms, and conditions hereof, Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lease Guarantor shall, at the request of Landlord, affirm or reaffirm in writing all of its obligations under this Agreement including as Lease Guarantor in respect of the Lease or any New Lease, as applicable, upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) any Lease Foreclosure Transaction in accordance with Section 22.2(i) of the Lease in connection with which the applicable Leasehold Lender has elected to proceed in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) of the Lease ( provided that no amendments or modifications are made to the Lease in connection therewith other than pursuant to and as contemplated by the third to last paragraph of Section 22.2 of the Lease); (ii) the assumption by any Person (including a Person that is unrelated to Manager or Lease Guarantor) of Tenant’s rights and obligations under the Lease in connection with any such Lease

61



Foreclosure Transaction ( provided that no amendments or modifications are made to the Lease in connection therewith other than pursuant to and as contemplated by the third to last paragraph of Section 22.2 of the Lease); or (iii) the execution of any New Lease by any Person (including a Person that is unrelated to Manager or Lease Guarantor) in accordance with Section 17.1(f) of the Lease, in connection with which the applicable Leasehold Lender has elected to proceed in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) of the Lease. Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lease Guarantor’s failure to so reaffirm in a writing reasonably acceptable to Landlord all of its obligations under this Agreement within five (5) days of a request from Landlord shall be an immediate Lease Guarantor Event of Default. In addition, and without limitation of anything otherwise contained in this Agreement, Lease Guarantor acknowledges it has executed and delivered to Landlord that certain Indemnity Agreement, Power of Attorney and Related Covenants (Non-CPLV), pursuant to which, among other things, Lease Guarantor has appointed Landlord as its attorney-in-fact with full power in Lease Guarantor’s name and behalf to execute and deliver at any time an affirmation or reaffirmation of this Agreement, including as to the Lease Guaranty. LEASE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CONTENTION THAT ITS AGREEMENTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17.3.1.10 OR THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THE AFORESAID INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, POWER OF ATTORNEY AND RELATED COVENANTS (NON-CPLV) ARE UNENFORCEABLE, AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED TO ASSERT TO THE CONTRARY.
17.3.2     Subrogation . Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash, Lease Guarantor shall withhold exercise of (a) any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation against Tenant arising from any payment of Guaranteed Obligations by Lease Guarantor, (b) any right of contribution Lease Guarantor may have against any other Person that is liable under the Lease arising from such payment or otherwise in connection with the Lease or this Agreement, (c) any right to enforce any remedy which Lease Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Tenant or Manager or (d) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Landlord in respect of the Lease. Lease Guarantor further agrees that any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation Lease Guarantor may have against Tenant or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution Lease Guarantor may have against any other Person, in connection with any payment of Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise under this Agreement or the Lease by Lease Guarantor shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Landlord may have against Tenant or any such other Person, to all right, title and interest Landlord may have in any such collateral or security, and to any rights Landlord may have against Tenant or any such other Person. If any amount shall be paid to Lease Guarantor on account of any such reimbursement, indemnity, subrogation or contribution rights at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for Landlord and shall forthwith be paid over to Landlord to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Lease or any applicable security agreement. In addition, any indebtedness of Tenant now or hereafter held by Lease Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, the foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant may make payments with respect to such indebtedness unless (A) a Tenant Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) any monetary default by Tenant under the Lease has occurred and is continuing with respect to which Landlord has delivered to Lease Guarantor a Lease Guaranty Claim or otherwise delivered written notice to Tenant or Lease Guarantor.
17.3.3     Enforcement .
17.3.3.1    The obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease. The Lease Guaranty may be enforced by Landlord without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security (such as, for example, any security deposit of Tenant held by Landlord) or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the remedy provisions of the Lease (such as, for example, terminating the Lease) or otherwise, and Lease Guarantor hereby expressly waives the right to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant or any other Person, to exercise its rights and remedies under the Lease, or to pursue any other remedy whatsoever

62



against any Person, security or collateral or enforce any other right at law or in equity. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be necessary for Landlord (and Lease Guarantor hereby waives any rights which it may have to require Landlord), in order to enforce any Guaranteed Obligation against Lease Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against any other Person, security or collateral or resort to any other means of obtaining payment of any Guaranteed Obligation. Nothing herein shall prevent Landlord from suing any Person to enforce the terms of the Lease or from exercising any other rights available to Landlord under the Lease or any other instrument or agreement, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights shall not affect the obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder. Lease Guarantor understands that the exercise, or any forbearance from exercising, by Landlord of certain rights and remedies contained in the Lease may affect or eliminate Lease Guarantor’s right of subrogation against Tenant and that Lease Guarantor may therefore incur liability hereunder that is not subject to reimbursement; nevertheless Lease Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Landlord to exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, it being the purpose and intent of Lease Guarantor that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional, in each case in accordance with its terms hereunder.
17.3.3.2    No failure or delay on the part of Landlord in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Lease Guaranty shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise affect any such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
17.3.3.3    It is understood that Landlord, without impairing the Lease Guaranty, may, subject to the terms of the Lease, apply payments from Tenant or from any reletting of the Leased Property upon a default by Tenant or from or in connection with any exercise of rights or remedies, to any due and unpaid rent or other charges or to such other Guaranteed Obligations owed by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the Lease in such amounts and in such order as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines; provided that any amount so paid and applied reduces the aggregate outstanding liabilities of Tenant under the Lease by such amount as required under the Lease.
17.3.4     Waivers and Other Acknowledgments .
17.3.4.1    Subject to Section 17.2 above, Lease Guarantor hereby waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that Landlord protect any property related thereto, (ii) all notices to Lease Guarantor, Tenant or any other person (whether of nonpayment, termination, acceptance of the Lease Guaranty, default under the Lease, loans or defaults under loans, assignment or sublease, sale of the Leased Property, changes in ownership of Landlord or Tenant, or any other matters relating to the Lease, the Leased Property or related matters, whether or not referred to herein, and including any and all notices of the creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of any Guaranteed Obligations arising under the Lease) in connection with or related to a claim under the Lease Guaranty, (iii) all demands whatsoever in respect of a claim under the Lease Guaranty, (iv) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Landlord’s part in the enforcement of its rights under the provisions of the Lease Guaranty and this Agreement, (v) any defense to the obligation to make any payments required under the Lease Guaranty (vi) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Landlord, (vii) any defense based on any right of set-off or recoupment or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder, and (viii) notice of adverse change in Tenant’s financial condition, or any other fact that might materially increase the risk to Lease Guarantor with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notice or demand given to Lease Guarantor in any instance will not entitle Lease Guarantor to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances nor constitute Landlord’s waiver of its right to take any future action in any circumstance without notice or demand. Lease Guarantor agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety. Lease Guarantor agrees that (other than during a Section 5.9.1(c) Period) it shall be collaterally estopped from contesting, and shall be bound conclusively in any subsequent action, in any

63



jurisdiction, by the judgment in any action by Landlord against Tenant in connection with the Lease or any other Lease/MLSA Related Agreement (wherever instituted) as if Lease Guarantor were a party to such action even if not so joined as a party unless Lease Guarantor attempted to join such action and was not permitted to do so by Landlord.
17.3.4.2    Lease Guarantor hereby waives, and agrees that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets, or redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent, or otherwise affect the performance by Lease Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by Landlord of, the Lease Guaranty. Lease Guarantor represents, warrants, and agrees that, as of the Commencement Date, its obligations under this Lease Guaranty were not subject to any offsets or defenses against Landlord or Tenant of any kind. Lease Guarantor further agrees that its obligations under this Lease Guaranty shall not be subject to any counterclaims (to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law), offsets, or defenses (except the defense of actual payment or performance) against Landlord or against Tenant of any kind which may arise in the future.
17.3.4.3    Lease Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of Tenant, and of any and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Lease Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that Landlord shall not have any duty to advise Lease Guarantor of any information known to Landlord (or otherwise) regarding such circumstances or risks.
17.3.5     Lease Guarantor Release .
17.3.5.1    Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the obligations and liabilities of Lease Guarantor hereunder shall not terminate, be released or be reduced in any respect (including if this Agreement is terminated for any reason) except as expressly set forth in this Section 17.3.5 .
17.3.5.2    Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 17.3.5 and Section 17.3.1.4 , the liability of Lease Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than with respect to any Guaranty Termination Obligations) shall automatically terminate, and Lease Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement including its obligation to pay any Guaranteed Obligations (other than with respect to any Guaranty Termination Obligations) to Landlord (the date upon which a release as described in this sentence occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “ Guaranty Release Date ”) (i) upon the occurrence of the expiration or termination of this Agreement in accordance with the express provisions of Section 16.2 ; (ii) upon the effectuation of the Replacement Structure and execution and effectiveness of a Replacement MLSA in accordance with the express provisions of Section 21.1 , following a Non-Consented Lease Termination; (iii) if, following a Non-Consented Lease Termination, (x) Landlord or any Landlord’s Lender, as applicable, elects in writing that the Replacement Structure shall not occur or (y) the Replacement Structure does not occur as a direct and proximate result of Landlord’s acts or failure to act in accordance with Article XXI , in each case, solely to the extent expressly provided in Section 21.3 ; or (iv) if (x) Manager shall be terminated for Cause by Landlord expressly and in writing and (y) an arbitrator in a Cause Arbitration under clause (1) of the definition of “Terminated for Cause” subsequently determines that Cause did not exist for termination of Manager thereunder (it being understood that in the case of this clause (iv) , the Guaranty Release Date shall be deemed to be the date of Manager’s termination as set forth in clause (1) of the definition of “Terminated for Cause”). For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth in this Section 17.3.5.2 , the termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not result in the termination, release or reduction of Lease Guarantor’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement in any respect.

64



17.3.5.3    In connection with any release occurring on the Guaranty Release Date as described in Section 17.3.5.2 , Landlord shall take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Lease Guarantor to evidence such release.
17.3.5.4    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 17.3.5 or anything else otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) in the event that Manager is Terminated for Cause, then, except as set forth in Section 17.3.5.2(iv) , this Agreement shall not terminate with respect to Lease Guarantor in any respect (and Lease Guarantor shall not be released from any obligation or liability in respect of any aspect of the Guaranteed Obligations) and Lease Guarantor’s obligations shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with (and subject to) the terms of this Agreement, (ii) during any Transition Period, the obligations of Lease Guarantor, Tenant, Manager and Landlord hereunder shall continue in all respects for the duration of such Transition Period in accordance with (and subject to) the terms of this Agreement (it being understood that, in such event, Manager shall continue to act as manager pursuant to the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement and Article XXXVI of the Lease in accordance with Section 16.3.9 hereof), (iii) in the event of a Non-Consented Lease Termination, the obligations of Lease Guarantor and the other Parties hereunder shall be governed by Article XXI , (iv) in the event a Severed Lease and Severed MLSA are entered into in accordance with Section 16.4 , Lease Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Balance Lease, the Severed Lease, this Agreement and the Severed MLSA shall be as described in Section 16.4 and (v) in the event of an L1 Transfer or an L2 Transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Section 22.2(vii) of the Lease or Section 22.2(viii) of the Lease, respectively, Lease Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be as described in Section 16.6 .
17.3.5.5    [Reserved]
17.3.5.6    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements to the contrary (and without intending to vitiate, limit or supersede Section 1.3 hereof), but subject to Section 17.3.5.2 , in the event this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements (or any portion of any of them) is unenforceable (for any reason whatsoever) against any Party to this Agreement, including, without limitation, as a result of rejection of this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding, the Lease Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect without any change or impairment (and shall not be terminated, released or reduced) in any respect, and shall be treated as if all of the obligations and liabilities of the Lease Guaranty were set forth, ab initio , in a separate instrument to which the Party against which this Agreement or any such Lease/MLSA Related Agreement (or any portion of any of them) is unenforceable is not a party.
17.3.5.7    Notwithstanding anything otherwise contained in this Agreement, for so long as any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any Guaranty Termination Obligations) payable pursuant to this Agreement has not been irrevocably paid in full in cash or if any Guaranteed Obligations have been reinstated in accordance with Section 17.3.1.4 , all provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement shall survive and remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary so that Landlord may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it in respect of the Lease Guaranty hereunder, including any and all rights available to Landlord in respect of any Lease Guarantor Event of Default or any nonpayment in full in cash of any and all such Guaranteed Obligations as and when provided hereunder; provided that the provisions of Article XI and Section 17.4 shall terminate on the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date.
17.4     Guarantor Covenants .
17.4.1     Asset Sales . Prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor shall not effect any Asset Sale unless:
(1)    Lease Guarantor receives consideration equal to at least the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by a responsible officer of Lease Guarantor or, with respect to any Asset Sale

(2)    in the case of any Asset Sale to an Affiliate of Lease Guarantor, (a) such Asset Sale is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors of Lease Guarantor; (b) Lease Guarantor obtains an opinion from an Approved Fairness Opinion Firm that such Asset Sale is fair to Lease Guarantor from a financial point of view after such Approved Fairness Opinion Firm conducts an independent assessment of all material terms of such Asset Sale; and (c) prior to the consummation of any such Asset Sale, (i) Lease Guarantor offers, in writing, to make such Asset Sale to Landlord on the same terms on which such Asset Sale is proposed to be made to such Affiliate and (ii) Landlord either declines such offer or fails to provide written notice of acceptance of such offer to Lease Guarantor within thirty (30) Business Days of the date such offer is made to Landlord (in which event Lease Guarantor may effect such Asset Sale only upon the same terms offered to Landlord or on terms less favorable to the applicable buyer than the terms offered to Landlord). To constitute a valid offer in accordance with clause (2)(c)(i) above, Lease Guarantor shall furnish to Landlord all material information made available to the purchaser in such Asset Sale, including at a minimum, basic information identifying the applicable assets, material acquisition terms, including, without limitation, the purchase price and reasonable historical financial and all other customary diligence materials and other information relating to the applicable assets to be sold and such additional information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord and in the possession or control of Lease Guarantor or its Affiliates.
17.4.2     Acceptance of Asset Sale Offer . If Landlord accepts any offer described in clause (2)(c)(i)  of Section 17.4.1 within the time limit and in the manner described in clause (2)(c)(ii)  of Section 17.4.1 , then Landlord (or any designee of Landlord) and Lease Guarantor shall promptly proceed to consummate the Asset Sale contemplated by such offer on the terms set forth in such offer; provided that the parties shall be entitled to a minimum period of forty five (45) days between acceptance of the offer and the closing. In the event Landlord (or such designee) fails to consummate such Asset Sale on such terms, then Landlord shall be deemed to have declined such offer for purposes of this Section 17.4 and Lease Guarantor may effect such Asset Sale only upon the same terms offered to Landlord or on terms less favorable to the applicable buyer than the terms offered to Landlord.
17.4.3     Dividends . In addition to any other applicable restrictions hereunder, prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor shall not, directly or indirectly, declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution with respect to its capital stock or other equity interests with any assets other than cash unless such dividend or distribution would not reasonably be expected to result in Lease Guarantor’s inability to perform its Lease Guaranty obligations under this Agreement.
17.4.4     Restricted Payments . In addition to the foregoing, prior to the earlier of (1) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (2) the date that is six years after the Commencement Date, Lease Guarantor shall not directly or indirectly (i) declare or pay, or cause to be declared or paid, any dividend, distribution, any other direct or indirect payment or transfer (in each case, in cash, stock, other property, a combination thereof or otherwise) with respect to any of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests, (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests, or (iii) engage in any other transaction with any direct or indirect holder of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests which is similar in purpose or effect to those described above (collectively, a “ Restricted Payment ”), except that Lease Guarantor can execute (1) any of the transactions outlined above if: (a) Lease Guarantor’s equity market capitalization after giving pro forma effect to such dividend, distribution, or other transaction is at least $5.5 billion, (b) the amount of such dividend, distribution, or other transaction (together with any and all other such dividends and distributions and other transactions made under this clause (1)(b) but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any dividends, distributions or other transactions to be made under clause (1)(c) or (2) below in such fiscal year), does not exceed, in the aggregate, (x) 25% of the net proceeds, up to a cap of $25 million in any fiscal year, from the disposition of assets by Lease Guarantor and its subsidiaries, plus (y) $100 million from other sources in any fiscal year or (c) Lease Guarantor’s equity market capitalization after giving pro

66



forma effect to such dividend, distribution, or other transaction is at least $4.5 billion and the aggregate amount of such dividends, distributions or other transactions made under this clause (c) (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any dividends, distributions or other transactions made under clause (1)(b) above or clause (2) below in such fiscal year) is less than or equal to $125 million in any fiscal year and is funded solely by asset sale proceeds or (2) any transaction described in clause (ii) above so long as the aggregate amount of all such transactions made under this clause (2) (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any such transactions made from and after the Commencement Date under clause (1)(b) or (1)(c) above) is less than or equal to $199,500,000.00 (it being understood that from and after such time that the aggregate amount of all such transactions made from and after the Commencement Date under this clause (2) exceeds $199,500,000.00, no further transactions shall be permitted under this clause (2) ). Prior to the earlier of (1) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (2) the date that is six years after the Commencement Date, except as provided in clause (1)(a) or (1)(c) in the preceding sentence, any net proceeds from the disposition of assets by Lease Guarantor or its subsidiaries after the Commencement Date in excess of $25 million that are directly or indirectly distributed to, or otherwise received by, Lease Guarantor in any fiscal year shall not be used to fund any Restricted Payment.
17.4.5     Springing Covenants and Liens .
17.4.5.1    If at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor either (i) guaranties all or any portion of any Opco First Lien Debt (any such guaranty, an “ Opco Debt Guaranty ”), and the obligations under any such Opco Debt Guaranty are at any time secured by any property directly owned by CEC or any Springing Lien Subsidiary of CEC or (ii) causes all or any portion of the obligations under the Opco First Lien Debt to be at any time secured by any property directly owned by CEC or any Springing Lien Subsidiary of CEC (any and all such property in clauses (i) and (ii) , “ Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral ”), then, in each such instance and for so long as any such Opco Debt Guaranty or Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral is outstanding, Lease Guarantor shall, and shall cause any and all other grantors of Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral to grant, in the same security agreement documenting the grant of a security interest in the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral in favor of the Opco First Lien Debt (an “ Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest ”), to Landlord a lien (a “ Lease Guaranty Security Interest ”) on all Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral, which Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall secure all obligations of Lease Guarantor under the Lease Guaranty and shall rank pari passu with the Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest; provided that if the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral is limited solely to a pledge of Lease Guarantor’s or any other such grantor’s equity interest in CEOC, then neither Lease Guarantor nor any other such grantor shall be required to grant a Lease Guaranty Security Interest. Any Lease Guaranty Security Interest granted pursuant to this Section 17.4.5 shall be automatically released upon the earlier of (i) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (ii) the release of the respective Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (unless such release occurs in connection with a refinancing of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt with a Non-Third Party Financing, in which case such Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be automatically released upon the repayment or refinancing (other than with other Non-Third Party Financing) of such Non-Third Party Financing). Any Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be a “silent” security interest, and Landlord shall have no voting, enforcement or default-related rights with respect to such security interest unless and until the earlier of (x) the occurrence of a Lease Guarantor Event of Default and (y) the occurrence of any event that would permit the holders of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt to take enforcement actions in respect of such Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest, at which time Landlord shall be permitted to exercise all rights available to a secured creditor with respect to the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral, including all rights available to any holder of an Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest. Lease Guarantor shall cause the beneficiaries of any Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest to enter into and become bound by an intercreditor agreement that is consistent with this provision and that is reasonably acceptable to Lease Guarantor and Landlord and containing, among other things, provisions governing the pari passu nature of any Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest and Lease Guaranty Security Interest, and the “waterfall” by which any proceeds of, or collections on, the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral will be distributed on an equal and ratable basis as between the beneficiaries of any Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest and Lease Guaranty Security Interest.

67



17.4.5.2    If at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor becomes obligated on any Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (it being understood that a customary equity pledge solely of Lease Guarantor’s equity interests in CEOC shall not be deemed to be an Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest, unless such pledge includes covenants other than those customary for a pledge of such type or specifically relating to the pledge of equity interests in CEOC ( e.g. , covenants concerning Lease Guarantor’s or such other grantor’s existence and place of organization, other covenants relating to maintaining the validity, enforceability, perfection, and priority of the pledge and prohibitions of liens on the pledged collateral)), and the obligations that are the subject of such Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest are refinanced at any time as part of a Non-Third Party Financing, then any covenant provisions included in such Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest that are applicable to Lease Guarantor and its subsidiaries shall be automatically incorporated into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis , and shall apply to Lease Guarantor and any such subsidiaries, for the benefit of Landlord hereunder. Any such covenants that are so incorporated into this Agreement shall automatically cease to apply to Lease Guarantor and any such subsidiaries upon the earlier of (x) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (y) the release of the respective Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (unless such release occurs in connection with a refinancing of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt with a Non-Third Party Financing, in which case such Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be automatically released upon the repayment or refinancing (other than with other Non-Third Party Financing) of such Non-Third Party Financing).
17.4.6     Lease Guaranty Unaffected . Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the making of the Lease Guaranty by CEC to Landlord was a material, critical and indispensable inducement to Landlord agreeing to enter into this Agreement and the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements, and, but for the fact that CEC has delivered the Lease Guaranty to Landlord, Landlord would not have entered into this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements. For this and other reasons, it is the intent of the Parties that, other than as expressly provided in Section 17.3.5 , the Lease Guaranty will continue in full force and effect under any and all circumstances and shall not be terminated, released, impaired or reduced in any respect.
17.5     Lease Guarantor Representations and Warranties .
17.5.1     Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law . Lease Guarantor represents and warrants as of the First Amendment Date that Lease Guarantor (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware; (ii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification; and (iii) is in compliance with all Applicable Law where the failure to comply would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on Lease Guarantor’s ability to pay the Guaranteed Obligations or perform its other obligations in accordance with the terms hereof.
17.5.2     Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Guaranteed Obligations . The execution, delivery, and performance of the Lease Guaranty and all instruments and documents to be delivered by Lease Guarantor hereunder (i) are within Lease Guarantor’s corporate powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary or proper corporate action, (iii) are not in contravention of any provision of Lease Guarantor’s articles or certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (iv) will not violate any law or regulations, or any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (v) will not conflict with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement, or other instrument to which Lease Guarantor is a party or by which Lease Guarantor or any of its property is bound, except as would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Lease Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder, (vi) will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the property of Lease Guarantor (except to the extent provided in Section 17.4.5 ), and (vii) do not require the consent or approval of any governmental body, agency, authority, or any other person except those already obtained, except as would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Lease Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. This Lease Guaranty is duly executed

68



and delivered on behalf of Lease Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Lease Guarantor, enforceable against Lease Guarantor in accordance with its terms (subject to any applicable principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights).
17.6     Bankruptcy .
17.6.1    Lease Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that it shall not file a petition for relief as a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy, insolvency, debt composition, moratorium, receiver or similar federal or state laws for the purpose of limiting its liability hereunder, including by operation of Section 502(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar provisions. Lease Guarantor further agrees and acknowledges that, if, notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall seek any such relief, Lease Guarantor’s violation of this provision will constitute “cause” to dismiss any such proceeding, including under Section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code, and Lease Guarantor will not and will not attempt to (and will oppose any effort by any other party to) oppose any motion or request by Landlord or any other party to dismiss any such proceeding.
17.6.2    Lease Guarantor further agrees and acknowledges that its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement shall be fully enforceable against Lease Guarantor in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding, and Lease Guarantor hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that it will not and will not attempt to (and will oppose any effort by any other party to) impair, reduce, cap, limit, or otherwise restrict the claims of Landlord in any such proceeding including, but not limited to, by operation of Section 502(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.17.6.3    Lease Guarantor further agrees and acknowledges that it will not and will not attempt to (and will oppose any effort by any other party to) characterize in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding Landlord’s claims to recover any Guaranteed Obligations as claims of a lessor for damages resulting from the termination of a lease of real property.

The Parties agree that service of process for purposes of any such litigation or legal proceeding need not be personally served or served within the State of New York, but may be served with the same effect as if the Party in question were served within the State of New York, by giving notice containing such service to the intended recipient (with copies to counsel) in the manner provided in Section 20.5 .

If a Party objects to the designation of a Subsequent Related Dispute as being related to a Prior Related Dispute, the objection shall be resolved by the Initial Expert. If the Initial Expert concludes that the disputes are related, the Subsequent Related Dispute shall be resolved by the Initial Expert in accordance with this Section 18.2 , and to the extent practical, issues in the Subsequent Related Dispute that are the same or substantially similar as in the Prior Related Dispute, shall be resolved in a manner consistent with the resolution of such issues in the Prior Related Dispute.

75



20.2.7     Remedies Cumulative .

20.3     Limitation on Liabilities .
20.3.1     Projections in Annual Budget . Tenant acknowledges that: (a) all budgets and financial projections prepared by Manager or its Affiliates prior to the Commencement Date or under this Agreement, including the Annual Budget, are intended to assist in Operating the Managed Facilities, but are not to be relied on by Tenant or any third-party as to the accuracy of the information or the results predicted therein; and (b) Manager does not guarantee the accuracy of the information nor the results in such budgets and projections. Accordingly (except as may be provided in any agreement with such third party to which Manager is a party), Tenant agrees that (i) neither Manager nor its Affiliates shall be liable to Tenant or any third-party for divergence between such budgets and projections and actual operating results achieved except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including limits on incurring expenses; (ii) the failure of the Managed Facilities to achieve any Annual Budget for any Operating Year shall not constitute a default by Manager or give Tenant the right to terminate this Agreement; and (iii) if Tenant provides any such budgets or projections to a third-party, Tenant shall advise such third-party in writing of the substance of the disclaimer of liability set forth in this Section 20.3.1 ( provided that Tenant’s failure to do so shall not be a breach or default hereunder, although such failure by Tenant shall not expand Manager’s liability hereunder). Manager represents that it shall prepare all budgets and financial projections and operating plans prepared by Manager under this Agreement in good faith based upon Manager’s experience and knowledge.
20.3.2     Approvals and Recommendations . Each Party acknowledges that in granting any consents, approvals or authorizations under this Agreement, and in providing any advice, assistance, recommendation or direction under this Agreement, neither such Party nor any Affiliates guarantee success or a satisfactory result from the subject of such consent, approval, authorization, advice, assistance, recommendation or direction. Accordingly, each Party agrees that neither such Party nor any of its Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to any other Party or any third person by reason of: (a) any consent, approval or authorization, or advice, assistance, recommendation or direction, given or withheld; or (b) any delay or failure to provide any consent, approval or authorization, or advice, assistance, recommendation or direction (except in the event of a breach of a covenant herein not to unreasonably withhold or delay any consent or approval); provided , however , that each agrees to act in good faith when dealing with or providing any advice, consent, assistance, recommendation or direction.
20.3.3     Technical Advice . Tenant acknowledges that any review, advice, assistance, recommendation or direction provided by Manager with respect to the design, construction, equipping, furnishing, decoration, alteration, improvement, renovation or refurbishing of the Managed Facilities (a) is intended solely to assist Tenant in the development, construction, maintenance, repair and upgrading of the Managed Facilities and Tenant’s compliance with its obligations under this Agreement; and (b) does not constitute any representation, warranty or guaranty of any kind whatsoever that (i) there are no errors in the

76



plans and specification, (ii) there are no defects in the design of construction of the Managed Facilities or installation of any building systems or FF&E therein or (iii) the plans, specifications, construction and installation work will comply with all Applicable Laws (including laws or regulations governing public accommodations for Individuals with disabilities). Accordingly, Tenant agrees that neither Manager nor its Affiliates shall have any liability whatsoever to Tenant or any third-party for any (A) errors in the plans and specifications; (B) defects in the design of construction of the Managed Facilities or installation of any building systems or FF&E therein; or (C) noncompliance with any engineering and structural design standards or Applicable Laws.
20.4     Waivers . Except as set forth in Section 18.3 of this Agreement, no failure or delay by a Party to insist upon the strict performance of any term of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent on a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any breach or any subsequent breach of such term. No waiver of any default shall alter this Agreement, but each and every term of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.
20.5     Notices . All notices, consents, determinations, requests, approvals, demands, reports, objections, directions and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by: (a) personal delivery; (b) overnight DHL, FedEx, UPS or other similar courier service; or (c) confirmed facsimile transmission ( provided that a copy of such facsimile transmission together with confirmation of such facsimile transmission is delivered to the addressee in the manner provided in clause (a)  or (b)  above by no later than the second (2nd) Business Day following such transmission, addressed to the Parties at the addresses specified below, or at such other address as the Party to whom the notice is sent has designated in accordance with this Section 20.5 ), and shall be deemed to have been received by the Party to whom such notice or other communication is sent upon (i) delivery to the address (or facsimile number) of the recipient Party; provided that such delivery is made prior to 5:00 p.m. (local time for the recipient Party) on a Business Day, otherwise the following Business Day; or (ii) the attempted delivery of such Notice if such recipient Party refuses delivery, or such recipient Party is no longer at such address (or facsimile number), and failed to provide the sending Party with its current address pursuant to this Section 20.5 (unless the sending Party had actual knowledge of such current address). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice or other communication delivered to a Party by email that is actually received by such Party (and for which such Party has sent an acknowledgement of receipt by return email that was not automatically generated) shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given for purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been received at the time described in clause (i) above, as if such notice had been delivered by one of the methods described in clauses (a) through (c)  above.

20.6     No Indirect Actions . Unless otherwise expressly stated, if a Party may not take an action under this Agreement, then it may not take that action indirectly, or assist or support any other Person in taking that action directly or indirectly. “Taking an action indirectly” means taking an action that is not expressly prohibited for the Party but is intended to have substantially the same effects as the prohibited action.
20.7     No Recordation . Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof shall be recorded against the Leased Property (including against any one or more of the Managed Facilities or any portion thereof), and Tenant is hereby granted a power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable) to execute and record on behalf of Manager a notice or memorandum removing this Agreement or such memorandum of this Agreement from the public records or evidencing the termination hereof (as the case may be).
20.8     Further Assurances . The Parties shall do and cause to be done all such acts, matters and things and shall execute and deliver all such documents and instruments as shall be required to enable the Parties to perform their respective obligations under, and to give effect to the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement.
20.9     Relationship of Certain Parties .
20.9.1    Tenant and Manager acknowledge and agree that (a) the relationship between Tenant and Manager shall be that of principal (in the case of Tenant) and agent (in the case of Manager),

78



which relationship may not be terminated by Tenant except in strict accord with the termination provisions of this Agreement; (b) Manager shall have the authority to bind Tenant with respect to third Persons to the extent Manager is performing its obligations under and consistent with this Agreement; (c) Manager’s agency established with Tenant is, and is intended to be, an agency coupled with an interest; and (d) this Agreement does not create joint venturers, partners or joint tenants with respect to the Managed Facilities. Tenant and Manager further acknowledge and agree that in Operating the Managed Facilities, including entering into leases and contracts, accepting reservations, and conducting financial transactions for the Managed Facilities, (i) Manager assumes no independent contractual liability; and (ii) Manager shall have no obligation to extend its own credit with respect to any obligation incurred in Operating the Managed Facilities or performing its obligation under this Agreement.
20.9.2    Each of the Parties agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, joint tenancy or similar relationship between any of the Parties.
20.10     Force Majeure . Subject to the last sentence of this Section 20.10 , in the event of a Force Majeure Event, the obligations of the Parties and the time period for the performance of such obligations (other than an obligation to pay any amount hereunder) shall be extended for each day that such Party is prevented, hindered or delayed in such performance during the period of such Force Majeure Event, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the affected Party shall give prompt notice of such Force Majeure Event to the other Party. If Manager is unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure Event, or Manager reasonably deems it necessary to close and cease the Operation of all or any portion of one or more of the Managed Facilities due to a Force Majeure Event in order to protect the Managed Facilities or the health, safety or welfare of its guests or Managed Facilities Personnel, then, subject to the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease, Manager may close or cease Operation of all or a portion of such Managed Facilities for such time and in such manner as Manager reasonably deems necessary as a result of such Force Majeure Event, and reopen or recommence the Operation of the Managed Facilities when Manager again is able to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and determines that there is no unreasonable risk to the Managed Facilities or health, safety or welfare or its guests or Managed Facilities Personnel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, neither the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event nor the taking of any action by Manager in accordance with this Section 20.10 shall (i) result in the termination or derogation of Lease Guarantor’s obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in any respect, or (ii) without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, be deemed to vitiate, limit or supersede any of the provisions, terms or conditions of the Lease.
20.11     Terms of Other Management Agreements . Manager makes no representation or warranty that any past or future forms of its management agreement do or will contain terms substantially similar to those contained in this Agreement. In addition, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Manager may, due to local business conditions or otherwise, waive or modify any comparable terms of other management agreements heretofore or hereafter entered into by Manager or its Affiliates; provided , however , for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing contained in this Section 20.11 shall be deemed to vitiate, limit or supersede Manager’s obligation to manage the Operation of the Managed Facilities in a Non-Discriminatory manner, in accordance with the Operating Standard and subject to Manager’s Standard of Care.
20.12     Compliance with Law . Tenant and Manager shall each exercise their respective rights, perform their respective obligations and take all other actions required or permitted to be taken by each of them hereunder in compliance with all Applicable Laws.
20.13     Insurance Programs and Purchasing Arrangements Generally . The Parties hereby agree that Manager and its Affiliates shall administer, implement and make available to Tenant and the Managed Facilities, the Insurance Programs and any multi-party purchasing programs and arrangements contemplated hereunder on commercially reasonable terms and on a Non-Discriminatory basis and in such a manner that, in each case, there shall be no (i) mark-up, margin or other premium charged or otherwise

79



passed through to Tenant in connection therewith (except as may be payable to a third party), and (ii) duplication of any reimbursable expense otherwise payable by Tenant to Manager or its Affiliates.
20.14     Execution of Agreement . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Without limiting Manager’s rights set forth in this Agreement, Tenant shall, (a) not terminate the Lease, (b) comply in all respects with its base rent payments, variable rent payments and all other payment obligations set forth in the Lease, (c) otherwise comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the Lease and (d) not suffer an Assignment of Tenant’s interest in the Lease except pursuant to an Assignment permitted under the Lease that, except in the case of a Leasehold Foreclosure with MLSA Termination, is entered into concurrently with an Assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Agreement that is otherwise permitted by this Agreement and which includes the Managed Facilities. Tenant shall provide prompt written notice to Manager and Lease Guarantor of the receipt of any written notice from Landlord (or any Landlord’s Lender) delivered pursuant to the Lease, including any notice of breach under the Lease or any termination notice delivered under the Lease, in each case including a copy of the relevant notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 20.15 is only for the benefit of Manager (and not Landlord).
20.16     Omnibus Agreement; Services Co LLC Agreement . The Parties agree that any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification of the Omnibus Agreement or of the Services Co LLC Agreement made from or after the Commencement Date that is (i) by its own terms, not Non-Discriminatory as to any individual Managed Facility, (ii) not Non-Discriminatory to the Managed Facilities and the Joliet Managed Facility, taken as a whole, (iii) reasonably likely to result in a level of service or quality of Operation of the Managed Facilities (or of any one of them) that does not meet the Operating Standard, or (iv) reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Managed Facilities (or any of them), shall, solely with respect to Tenant and the Managed Facilities, be void and of no effect, absent the express written consent of Landlord. For purposes of this Section 20.16 , each of CLC and Services Co shall be a “Party”.

APPOINTMENT/TERM
2.1     Grant of Authority .
2.1.1     Engagement of Manager . On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Tenant hereby engages Manager, and Manager hereby agrees to be engaged, as Tenant’s agent and exclusive manager to Operate the Managed Facility during the Term. The Parties acknowledge that the scope of Manager’s authority and duties to Operate the Managed Facility are limited to the authority and duties set forth in this Agreement. Tenant and Manager shall Operate the Managed Facility under one or more Brands; provided that (a) Tenant shall have the right, subject to the receipt of (i) any required approval from any Governmental Authority and (ii) Manager’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to change the Brand under which the Managed Facility is operated to any other brand, with the costs of such rebranding borne by Tenant, (b) Tenant shall give Landlord prior notice of any change to the top-level Brand of the Managed Facility, (c) the Managed Facility shall continue to be operated under all other Managed Facilities IP (subject to any Brand change and subject to any other approvals or consents required by this Section 2.1.1 ), and (d) any such Brand change shall be Non-Discriminatory, and shall not result in a change in the overall quality and level of service at the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, below that required pursuant to Section 2.1.4 . Manager shall reasonably assist Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, in connection with any such rebranding. If a Brand is replaced with another brand as permitted hereunder, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to make such changes to this Agreement as are necessary to give effect to such new brand.
2.1.2     Manager’s Standard of Care . Manager shall (a) execute its duties under this Agreement in its reasonable business judgment (the “ Manager’s Standard of Care ”), and (b) act as the agent of Tenant in connection with the performance of Manager’s duties as manager of the Managed Facility under this Agreement. Tenant agrees that Manager’s duties as agent to Tenant are further subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 2.3 ) and the Operating Limitations. Except for Manager’s indemnification obligations set forth in Article XII , Tenant agrees that, as between Tenant and Manager, Manager will have no liability for monetary damages or monetary relief to Tenant for any violation of Manager’s Standard of Care or claims of breach of any fiduciary duties or duties as agent unless such violation or breach was due to an action or event giving rise to a Manager Event of Default (disregarding any applicable notice and/or cure periods for such purpose).
2.1.3     Manager’s System Policies . Tenant acknowledges that Manager and/or Manager’s Affiliates operate other casino, racetrack, hotel, dining, retail, entertainment and other operations and that Manager or its Affiliates may derive benefits in addition to the fees and reimbursements paid hereunder, including in connection with marketing programs, the Total Rewards Program, Purchasing Programs, employment policies relating to the Managed Facility Personnel or other programmatic or policy activities that may be implemented from time to time at the discretion of CEC, Services Co or their Affiliates, and that extend through the majority of Gaming properties operated by Manager’s Affiliates (collectively, the “ Manager’s System Policies ”). Tenant agrees that Manager will not be in breach of its duties as agent hereunder if, solely as a result of Manager following the Manager’s System Policies, certain aspects of the Manager’s System Policies have the effect of providing greater benefit to properties owned or operated by Manager’s Affiliates collectively or third parties than to the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, so long as the Manager’s System Policies (i) are designed and executed in accordance with Manager’s Standard of Care, (ii) are Non-Discriminatory to the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, in both design and implementation and (iii) are not otherwise violative of or inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement; provided that any revisions to the Manager’s System Policies after the Commencement Date shall be implemented in a Non-Discriminatory manner; and provided , further , that Manager shall give Tenant and Landlord prior written notice of such revisions and no such revisions shall

result in a change in the overall quality and/or the level of service at the Managed Facility below that required in Section 2.1.4(a) and otherwise under this Agreement without Tenant’s and Landlord’s prior written consent thereto. The foregoing shall not be deemed to excuse any breach by Manager of any of the express provisions of this Agreement.
2.1.4     General Grant of Authority – Managed Facility . On and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and to the extent delegable by Tenant under the Lease, Tenant hereby grants to Manager (and Manager hereby accepts) the right, authority and responsibility during the Term, and instructs Manager during the Term, to take all such actions for and on behalf of Tenant and the Managed Facility that Manager reasonably deems necessary or advisable to Operate the Managed Facility: (a) at a standard and level of service and quality (and otherwise on terms and in a manner) for all of the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, that in all events is not lower than the standard and the level of service and quality for the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, as of the Commencement Date; (b) in accordance in all material respects with the policies and programs in effect as of the Commencement Date at the Managed Facility (with such revisions thereto from time to time as Manager may implement in a Non-Discriminatory manner; provided that Manager shall give Tenant prior written notice of such revisions and no such revisions shall result in a material change in the overall quality and/or level of service at the Managed Facility below that required in the preceding portion of this Section 2.1.4 and otherwise under this Agreement without Tenant’s and Landlord’s prior written consent thereto in their respective sole and absolute discretion); (c) utilizing the Managed Facilities IP and the Proprietary Information and Systems in accordance in all material respects with the standards, policies and programs generally applicable to the use and implementation of the Managed Facilities IP and the Proprietary Information and Systems and in accordance with the Omnibus Agreement; provided that the same are Non-Discriminatory with respect to the Managed Facility (the standards and objectives described in clauses (a)  through (c)  being referred to collectively as the “ Operating Standard ”); and (d) in a Non-Discriminatory manner, subject in each case to the Operating Limitations.

Accordingly, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any rights or obligations of Tenant under the Lease that are delegated to Manager hereunder shall be limited to the Term of, and by the provisions, terms and conditions of, the Lease, and to the extent expressly set forth herein. Neither the exercise (directly or indirectly) by Manager of its rights and responsibilities hereunder nor any of the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements shall serve, or be construed, to (x) grant to Manager a possessory or other real property interest in the Leased Property or any portion thereof or (y) limit or subrogate any or all of Tenant’s rights, obligations and responsibilities vis-à-vis Landlord under the Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, notices under this Agreement sent by any other Party hereto to Manager (or by Manager to any other Party hereto) shall not be deemed received by (or sent by) Tenant, and vice versa, except to the extent Tenant expressly authorizes Manager to do so on its behalf, and in the case of notices to or from Landlord, so advises Landlord of such authorization (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, without limitation of Section 2.5 hereof, that notices or other communications sent by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to the Lease are not required to also be sent to Manager or (except to the extent provided in the last sentence of Section 16.1 of the Lease) to Lease Guarantor, in order to be effective thereunder).

Each operating plan and budget shall include monthly and annualized projections of each of the following items, as applicable, for the Managed Facility:
5.1.1.1    results of operations, together with the following supporting data: (a) total labor costs, including both fixed and variable labor and (b) the Reimbursable Expenses;

14

Tenant shall be deemed to have approved that portion of any proposed operating plan and budget to which Tenant has not approved in writing or objected to in writing within such forty-five (45) day period. If Tenant objects to any portion of the proposed operating plan and budget to which it is entitled to object within such forty-five (45) day period, Tenant and Manager shall meet within twenty (20) days after Manager’s receipt of Tenant’s objections and discuss such objections, and then Manager shall submit written revisions to the proposed operating plan and budget after such discussion. Tenant and Manager shall use good faith efforts to reach an agreement on the operating plan and budget prior to January 1 of each Operating Year. The proposed operating plan and budget, as modified to reflect the revisions, if any, agreed to by Tenant and Manager pursuant to Section 5.1.3 , shall become the “ Annual Budget ” for the next Operating Year. Tenant shall act reasonably and exercise prudent business judgment in approving of, or objecting to, all or any portion of any proposed operating plan and budget.
5.1.3     Resolution of Disputes for Annual Budget . If Tenant and Manager, despite their good faith efforts, are unable to reach final agreement on the proposed operating plan prior to January 1 of each Operating Year, or otherwise have a dispute regarding the Annual Budget as contemplated by this Section 5.1 , those portions of such proposed operating plan that are not in dispute shall become effective on January 1 of such Operating Year and, pending Tenant’s and Manager’s resolution of such dispute, the prior year’s Annual Budget shall govern the items in dispute, except that the budgeted expenses provided for such item(s) in the prior year’s Annual Budget (or, if earlier, the last Annual Budget in which the budgeted expenses for such disputed item(s) were approved) shall be increased by the percentage increase in the Index from January 1 of the prior Operating Year (or, if applicable, each additional Operating Year between the prior Operating Year and the Operating Year in which there became effective the last Annual Budget in which the budgeted expenses for such disputed item(s) were approved). Upon the resolution of any such dispute by agreement of Tenant and Manager, such resolution shall control as to such item(s). For purposes of clarity, all disputes regarding the Annual Budget shall be resolved (if at all) between Tenant and Manager directly and no such dispute shall subject to Expert Resolution through the procedures described in Article XVIII unless Tenant and Manager (each acting in its sole discretion) agree in writing at the time any such dispute arises to mutually submit the subject dispute to Expert Resolution under Article XVIII .
5.1.4     Operation in Accordance with Annual Budget . Manager shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Managed Facility in accordance with the Annual Budget for the applicable Operating Year (subject, in the case of disputed items, to the provisions of Section 5.1.3 ). Nevertheless, Tenant and Manager acknowledge that preparation of the Annual Budgets is inherently inexact and that Manager may vary from any Annual Budget (a) to the extent Manager reasonably determines that such variance is required by any Leasehold Financing Document and/or the Lease, (b) in connection with the matters set forth in Section 5.1.5 , or (c) by reallocating up to ten percent (10%) of any line item in such Annual Budget to any other line item without Tenant’s prior approval. Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, Manager shall not incur costs or expenses or make expenditures that would cause the total expenditures for the Operation of the Managed Facility to exceed the aggregate amount of expenditures provided in the Annual Budget by more than five percent (5%) without Tenant’s prior approval. Tenant acknowledges that the actual financial performance of the Managed Facility during any Operating Year will likely vary from the projections contained in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, and Manager shall not be deemed to have made any guarantee, warranty or representation whatsoever in connection with the Annual Budget or consistency of actual results with the operating plan.
5.1.5     Exceptions to Annual Budget . Notwithstanding Section 5.1.4 , Tenant acknowledges and agrees as follows:

15



5.1.5.1    The amount of certain expenses provided for in the Annual Budget for any Operating Year will vary based on the occupancy, use and demand for goods and services provided at the Managed Facility and, accordingly, to the extent that occupancy, use and demand for such goods and services for any Operating Year exceeds the occupancy, use and demand projected in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, such Annual Budget shall be deemed to include corresponding increases in such variable expenses; provided that the percentage increase in the variable expense over budget shall not exceed the percentage increase in corresponding revenue over projections. To the extent that occupancy, use and demand for goods and services provided at the Managed Facility for any Operating Year is less than the occupancy, use and demand projected in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year, Manager will make commercially reasonable adjustments to the Operation of the Managed Facility in an effort to reduce such variable expenses;
5.1.5.2    The amount of certain expenses provided for in the Annual Budget for any Operating Year are not within the ability of Manager to control, including real estate and personal property taxes, applicable Gaming taxes, insurance premiums, utility rates, license and permit fees and certain charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement, and accordingly, Manager shall have the right to pay from the Operating Account the actual amount of such uncontrollable expenses without reference to the amounts provided for with respect thereto in the Annual Budget for such Operating Year ( provided that Manager shall promptly provide Tenant with a reasonably detailed written explanation of all variances in excess of five percent (5%) between the budgeted and actual amounts of any such uncontrollable expenses);
5.1.5.3    If any expenditures are required on an emergency basis to (a) preserve or repair the Managed Facility or other property or (b) avoid potential injury to persons or material damage to the Managed Facility or other property, Manager shall have the right to make such expenditures, whether or not provided for, or within the amounts provided for, in the Annual Budget for the Operating Year in question, to the extent reasonably required to avoid or mitigate such injury or material damage; and
5.1.5.4    If any expenditures are required to comply with, or cure or prevent any violation of, any Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease, Manager shall, following written notice to Tenant (except in the case of emergency, in which case the provisions of Section 5.1.5.3 shall govern) have the right to make such expenditures, whether or not provided for or within the amounts provided for in the Annual Budget for the Operating Year in question, as may be necessary to comply with, or cure or prevent the violation of, such Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease.
5.1.6     Modification to Annual Budget . Manager shall have the right from time to time during each Operating Year to propose modifications to the Annual Budget then in effect based on actual operations during the elapsed portion of the applicable Operating Year and Manager’s reasonable business judgment as to what will transpire during the remainder of such Operating Year. Modifications to such Annual Budget, if any, shall be subject to Tenant’s prior written approval; provided that in no event shall Tenant have the right to withhold its approval to any material modifications on account of changes to costs of insurance premiums, operating supplies and equipment, charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement or other amounts that are not within Manager’s or its Affiliates’ ability to control (e.g., taxes, assessments, utilities, license or permit fees, inspection fees and any impositions imposed by any Governmental Authority).
5.1.7     Compliance with Lease . Without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties agree that (i) nothing in this Section 5.1 is intended, nor shall it be construed, to limit, vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease and (ii) subject to the foregoing clause (i) and compliance with any requirements of the Lease, so long as Tenant is a Controlled Subsidiary of CEC and Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of CEC, Tenant and Manager may modify the requirements of this Section 5.1 with respect to the subject matter thereof from time to time in their discretion; provided that any such modifications shall be of no force or effect unless they (x) are Non-

16



Discriminatory and (y) do not conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Lease/MLSA Related Agreement; and provided , further , that if any such modification would have a material adverse effect on any Party, then such modification shall require the prior written consent of such Party in its sole discretion.
5.2     Maintenance and Repair; Capital Improvements .
5.2.1     Required Maintenance and Repair and Capital Improvements . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.2 , Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall perform or cause to be performed all ordinary maintenance and repairs and all such Routine Capital Improvements and Building Capital Improvements: (a) as are necessary or advisable to keep the Managed Facility in good working order and condition and in compliance with the Operating Standard (subject to the Annual Budget and Section 5.1.4) and Operating Limitations; and (b) without limiting the preceding clause (a) , as Manager reasonably determines are necessary or advisable to comply with, and cure or prevent the violation of, any Applicable Laws or the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease. Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall perform or cause to be performed all such Routine Capital Improvements and Building Capital Improvements as are provided in the Annual Budget or otherwise approved in writing by Tenant.
5.2.2     Discretionary Capital Improvements . Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall cause to be performed all ROI Capital Improvements approved by Tenant (in the Annual Budget or otherwise in writing in advance), and shall supervise such work and ensure that the performance of such work is undertaken in a manner reasonably calculated to avoid or minimize interference with the Operation of the Managed Facility. Except as provided in the applicable Annual Budget or proposed by Manager and approved by Tenant, Tenant shall notify Manager of any ROI Capital Improvements proposed to be undertaken by Tenant and Manager may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, object to the undertaking of such ROI Capital Improvements based on Manager’s reasonable determination that such ROI Capital Improvements will not be consistent with the Operating Standard (including, for the avoidance of doubt, that such ROI Capital Improvements would constitute a breach of the terms of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility, including that such ROI Capital Improvements would unreasonably interfere with the Managed Facility’s operating performance and the ability of Manager to Operate the Managed Facility in accordance with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease). Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any notice from Manager alleging an objection with respect to any ROI Capital Improvement proposed by Tenant, Tenant shall respond in detail to such allegation and, if the matter is not resolved by Tenant and Manager within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s response, the determination of whether such capital improvement does not, or when constructed will not, be consistent with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility shall be submitted to the Expert for Expert Resolution in accordance with Article XVIII . If the Expert determines that such capital improvement does not, or when constructed will not, comply with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or will unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility, Tenant shall promptly take such actions as the Expert shall require to bring such capital improvement into compliance with the Operating Standard (including the requirements of the Lease) or to cause such capital improvement to not unreasonably interfere with the Operation of the Managed Facility. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties acknowledge that any determination made by an Expert under this Agreement shall be subject to Section 18.2.3 and, without limitation, to the extent Landlord believes any non-compliance with the Lease exists, the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease shall govern with respect thereto.
5.2.3     Remediation of Design or Construction Defect . If the design or construction of the Managed Facility is defective, and the defective condition presents a risk of injury to persons or damage to the Managed Facility or other property, or results in non-compliance with Applicable Law or the terms of the Lease, then Manager shall have the authority (subject to the terms of the Lease) to, at Tenant’s expense, perform all work necessary to remedy such design or construction defect in the

17



Managed Facility. Tenant acknowledges that such work shall be performed at Tenant’s expense and that Manager shall not use funds in the Operating Account in remedying such defects.
5.2.4     Compliance with Lease . Without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, the Parties agree that nothing in this Section 5.2 is intended, nor shall it be construed, to grant to Manager more authority over maintenance, repair and improvements of the Leased Property or any portion thereof than Tenant has under the Lease, or to require Manager to take actions in respect of the Leased Property or any portion thereof beyond Tenant’s authority with respect thereto, it being understood that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be construed to, limit, vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease.

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

Subject to Section 17.2.1.2 and Section 17.2.2.2 , Lease Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Landlord, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the prompt and complete payment and performance in full in cash of, without duplication, (i) all monetary obligations of Tenant under the Lease (and, without duplication, all monetary obligations of the tenant under any New Lease obtained pursuant to and in accordance with Section 17.1(f) of the Lease in connection with which the applicable Leasehold Lender has elected to retain CEC as Lease Guarantor and proceed in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) of the Lease) of any nature (including, without limitation, during any Transition Period), including, without limitation, (x) Tenant’s rent and other payment obligations of any nature under the Lease (including all Rent and Additional Charges (as each such term is defined in the Lease)), (y) Tenant’s obligation to expend the Required Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Lease) in accordance with the Lease and any other expenditures required of Tenant by the terms of the Lease and (z) Tenant’s obligation to pay monetary damages in connection with any breach of the Lease and to pay indemnification obligations in each case as provided under the Lease, (ii) all Guaranty Termination Obligations (without duplication of amounts otherwise already included under clause (i) ) and (iii) any sums payable to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.2.4 hereof ( clauses (i) , (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”), in each case including (a) amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar laws and (b) any late charges and interest provided for under the Lease (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding). Lease Guarantor shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, although as a matter of process and procedure, Section 17.2 hereof sets forth a process by which Landlord may issue notice to Lease Guarantor in respect of certain Guaranteed Obligations, such process is not intended to be a predicate to the existence or accrual of Lease Guarantor’s liability for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, it being understood that all of Lease Guarantor’s obligations hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations are unconditional and irrevocable in all respects, irrespective of whether the process set forth in Section 17.2 has been commenced, completed or otherwise satisfied (but, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the occurrence of any Guaranty Release Date).
17.2     Notice and Guaranty Payment Process .
17.2.1     Guaranteed Obligations Other Than Guaranty Termination Obligations and Enforcement Costs .
17.2.1.1    Lease Guarantor shall have no obligation to make any payment in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations (other than Guaranty Termination Obligations and any sums payable to Landlord pursuant to Section 17.2.4 hereof) unless and until Lease Guarantor receives notice in respect thereof from Landlord in accordance with this Section 17.2.1.1 , it being understood, however, that as provided in Section 17.1 , Landlord’s failure to deliver any notice shall not prevent or otherwise affect the existence or accrual of any Guaranteed Obligations. Landlord may give Lease Guarantor written notice of any event or circumstance that, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, is or would become a Tenant Lease Event of Default concurrently with notice to Tenant thereof, or at any time

56



thereafter, which notice to Lease Guarantor shall specify in reasonable detail such actual or alleged event or circumstance and the payment amount or other relief demanded (each such notice to Lease Guarantor, a “ Lease Guaranty Claim ”). Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord, in full in cash, the amount of Guaranteed Obligations that are owed as may be specified in the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim immediately upon the occurrence of all of the following: (1) the event or circumstance set forth in the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim shall be a Tenant Lease Event of Default that is continuing, (2) with respect to any failure by Tenant to satisfy a monetary obligation that, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, is or would become a Tenant Lease Event of Default (each, a “ Monetary Tenant Default ”), Tenant or Lease Guarantor shall have failed to satisfy or cure such failure in full on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after Lease Guarantor’s receipt of the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim, and (3) with respect to any Monetary Tenant Default, Tenant or Lease Guarantor shall have failed to satisfy or cure such failure in full on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s deadline under the Lease (giving effect to any applicable notice and cure periods available to Tenant under the Lease, unless, at the time the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim is made, another Lease Guaranty Claim has been made and remains outstanding); provided that no Lease Guaranty Claim shall be required to be delivered other than with respect to Guaranteed Obligations described in clause (i) of Section 17.1 ; and provided , further , that the provisions of this Section 17.2.1 are not intended to expand in any way the definition or scope of the Guaranteed Obligations.
17.2.1.2    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (1) except as provided in the succeeding clauses (2) and (3) , in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations under clause (i) of Section 17.1 hereof that are owed and properly set forth in any applicable Lease Guaranty Claim, Lease Guarantor shall be required to pay eighty percent (80%), but not more than eighty percent (80%), of such Guaranteed Obligations ( provided that, following payment of such eighty percent (80%) of such Guaranteed Obligations, Landlord shall not be permitted to make any Lease Guaranty Claim against Lease Guarantor with respect to the remaining twenty percent (20%) of such Guaranteed Obligations set forth in the applicable Lease Guaranty Claim); (2) for avoidance of doubt, the preceding clause (1) is not intended to, and shall not be deemed to, change, modify or reduce the “Guaranteed Obligations” (as such term is defined in the Non-CPLV MLSA) or otherwise vitiate or supersede any of the provisions, terms, and conditions of the Non-CPLV MLSA (including, without limitation, the obligations of “Lease Guarantor” (as such term is defined in the Non-CPLV MLSA) in respect of the “Guaranteed Obligations” (as defined in the Non-CPLV MLSA) in respect of the “Required Capital Expenditures” (as defined in the Non-CPLV Lease) under the Non-CPLV Lease); and (3) the preceding clause (1) shall not apply with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations in respect of Required Capital Expenditures under the Lease.

Instead (subject to the final two (2) sentences of this Section 17.2.2.1 ), Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord, in full in cash, any and all known or demanded Guaranty Termination Obligations immediately following the Guaranty Release Date. Lease Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the full extent of all of the Guaranty Termination Obligations may not be known or demanded as of the Guaranty Release Date. Accordingly, to the extent that any amount of any portion of the Guaranty Termination Obligations is either not known or not demanded by Landlord as of the Guaranty Release Date, then Lease Guarantor shall pay to Landlord all of such portion of the Guaranty Termination Obligations, in full in cash, promptly upon subsequent demand by Landlord for such Guaranty Termination Obligations, and the failure or delay of Landlord to demand such payment shall not be a waiver of any right of Landlord to receive the Guaranty Termination Obligations in full.
17.2.2.2    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (1) except as provided in the succeeding clauses (2) , and (3) , in respect of any Guaranty Termination Obligations properly set forth in any demand delivered pursuant to Section 17.2.2.1 hereof, Lease Guarantor shall be required to pay eighty percent (80%), but not more than eighty (80%), of such Guaranty Termination

57



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

If all or any part of any Guaranteed Obligation shall not be paid on or prior to Lease Guarantor’s deadline to so do as provided in this Section 17.2 , Lease Guarantor shall pay, immediately upon demand by Landlord, and without presentment, protest, or notice (each of which is hereby waived by Lease Guarantor to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), in addition to such Guaranteed Obligation, but without duplication of any interest accruing on such amounts pursuant to the Lease and otherwise payable as a Guaranteed Obligation (and without interest accruing on any interest), interest on the amount of such Guaranteed Obligation (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) five percentage points above the Prime Rate and (ii) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law, accruing from the date of Lease Guarantor’s deadline by which to make such payment under this Section 17.2 .
17.2.4     Enforcement Costs . If Landlord or Lease Guarantor brings an action or other proceeding against the other to enforce or interpret any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or any instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement, or by reason of any breach or default hereunder or thereunder, the Party substantially prevailing in any such action or proceeding and any appeal thereupon shall be paid all of its costs and reasonable documented outside attorneys’ fees incurred therein.

Lease Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations (A) shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, whether or not notice thereof is given to Lease Guarantor (in each case subject to the final sentence of this Section 17.3.1.1 ): (i) any agreement or stipulation between Landlord and Tenant extending the time of performance under, or any other agreement, amendment, modification, supplement or other instrument modifying any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in, the Lease; (ii) any renewal or extension of the Lease pursuant to an option granted in the Lease, if any; (iii) any waiver by Landlord, or failure of Landlord to enforce, any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in the Lease or any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in any modifications thereof; (iv) any assignment of the Lease, or any subletting or subsubletting of, or any other occupancy arrangements in respect of, all or any part of the Managed Facility (in each case, subject to Section 17.3.5); (v) any release, waiver, consent, indulgence, forbearance or other action, inaction or omission by Landlord or otherwise under or in respect of the Lease or any other instrument or agreement; (vi) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of, or any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership or trusteeship affecting, Tenant, Landlord or any other Party or their respective successors or assigns or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective assets, or any actual or attempted rejection, assumption,

58

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement or the Lease to the contrary, Lease Guarantor shall not be subject to (and the Lease Guaranty will not be applicable with respect to) any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification of the terms of the Lease that increases Tenant’s monetary obligations thereunder or, subject to Section 17.3.1.8 , Section 17.3.1.9 and Section 17.3.1.10 hereof, that is otherwise adverse to the rights of Tenant and/or Lease Guarantor, unless Lease Guarantor shall have expressly consented thereto in writing (in its sole and absolute discretion); provided , however , that Lease Guarantor shall, in all events, remain liable for (and the Lease Guaranty will be applicable with respect to) any and all Guaranteed Obligations that would exist without giving effect to any such amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification of the terms of the Lease that increases Tenant’s monetary obligations thereunder; provided , further , however , for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this sentence is intended to vitiate or supersede Section 17.3.1.8 , Section 17.3.1.9 and Section 17.3.1.10 hereof.
17.3.1.2    Subject to Section 17.3.5 , the liability of Lease Guarantor under the Lease Guaranty shall be an absolute, direct, immediate, continuing and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectability, may not be revoked by Lease Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to all of the Guaranteed Obligations notwithstanding any attempted revocation by Lease Guarantor and shall not be conditional or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Lease or any other documents or instruments relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, i ncluding any Party’s lack of authority or lawful right to enter into such document on such Party’s behalf, or the pursuit by Landlord of any remedies Landlord may have.

Any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes under the Lease Guaranty.
17.3.1.5    The Lease Guaranty shall continue in full force and be binding upon Lease Guarantor, its successors and assigns, in accordance with its terms. Lease Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

LEASE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CONTENTION THAT ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17.3.1.9 ARE UNENFORCEABLE, AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED TO ASSERT TO THE CONTRARY.
17.3.1.10    Without limitation of any of the other provisions, terms, and conditions hereof, Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lease Guarantor shall, at the request of Landlord, affirm or reaffirm in writing all of its obligations under this Agreement including as Lease Guarantor in respect of the Lease or any New Lease, as applicable, upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) any Lease Foreclosure Transaction in accordance with Section 22.2(i) of the Lease in connection with which the applicable Leasehold Lender has elected to proceed in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) of the Lease ( provided that no amendments or modifications are made to the Lease in connection therewith other than pursuant to and as contemplated by the third to last paragraph of Section 22.2 of the Lease); (ii) the assumption by any Person (including a Person that is unrelated to Manager or Lease Guarantor) of Tenant’s rights and obligations under the Lease in connection with any such Lease Foreclosure Transaction ( provided that no amendments or modifications are made to the Lease in connection therewith other than pursuant to and as contemplated by the third to last paragraph of Section 22.2 of the Lease); or (iii) the execution of any New Lease by any Person (including a Person that is unrelated to Manager or Lease Guarantor) in accordance with Section 17.1(f) of the Lease, in connection with which the applicable Leasehold Lender has elected to proceed in accordance with Section 22.2(i)(1)(B) of the Lease. Lease Guarantor expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lease Guarantor’s failure to so reaffirm in a writing reasonably acceptable to Landlord all of its obligations under this Agreement within five (5) days of a request from Landlord shall be an immediate Lease Guarantor Event of Default. In addition, and without limitation of anything otherwise contained in this Agreement, Lease Guarantor acknowledges it has executed and delivered to Landlord that certain Indemnity Agreement, Power of Attorney and Related Covenants (Joliet), pursuant to which, among other things, Lease Guarantor has appointed Landlord as its attorney-in-fact with full power in Lease Guarantor’s name and behalf to execute and deliver at any time an affirmation or reaffirmation of this Agreement, including as to the Lease Guaranty. LEASE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CONTENTION THAT ITS AGREEMENTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17.3.1.10 OR THE POWER OF ATTORNEY GRANTED PURSUANT TO THE AFORESAID INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, POWER OF ATTORNEY AND RELATED COVENANTS (JOLIET) ARE UNENFORCEABLE, AND HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ESTOPPED TO ASSERT TO THE CONTRARY.
17.3.2     Subrogation . Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full in cash, Lease Guarantor shall withhold exercise of (a) any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation against Tenant arising from any payment of Guaranteed Obligations by Lease Guarantor, (b) any right of contribution Lease Guarantor may have against any other Person that is liable under the Lease arising from such payment or otherwise in connection with the Lease or this Agreement, (c) any right to enforce any remedy which Lease Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Tenant or Manager or (d) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Landlord in respect of the Lease. Lease Guarantor further agrees that any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation Lease Guarantor may have against Tenant or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution Lease Guarantor may have against any other Person, in connection with any payment of Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise under this Agreement or the Lease by Lease Guarantor shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Landlord may have against Tenant or any such other Person, to all right, title and interest Landlord may have in any such collateral or security, and to any rights Landlord

61



may have against Tenant or any such other Person. If any amount shall be paid to Lease Guarantor on account of any such reimbursement, indemnity, subrogation or contribution rights at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for Landlord and shall forthwith be paid over to Landlord to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Lease or any applicable security agreement. In addition, any indebtedness of Tenant now or hereafter held by Lease Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, the foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant may make payments with respect to such indebtedness unless (A) a Tenant Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) any monetary default by Tenant under the Lease has occurred and is continuing with respect to which Landlord has delivered to Lease Guarantor a Lease Guaranty Claim or otherwise delivered written notice to Tenant or Lease Guarantor.
17.3.3     Enforcement .
17.3.3.1    The obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease. The Lease Guaranty may be enforced by Landlord without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security (such as, for example, any security deposit of Tenant held by Landlord) or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the remedy provisions of the Lease (such as, for example, terminating the Lease) or otherwise, and Lease Guarantor hereby expressly waives the right to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant or any other Person, to exercise its rights and remedies under the Lease, or to pursue any other remedy whatsoever against any Person, security or collateral or enforce any other right at law or in equity. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, it shall not be necessary for Landlord (and Lease Guarantor hereby waives any rights which it may have to require Landlord), in order to enforce any Guaranteed Obligation against Lease Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against any other Person, security or collateral or resort to any other means of obtaining payment of any Guaranteed Obligation. Nothing herein shall prevent Landlord from suing any Person to enforce the terms of the Lease or from exercising any other rights available to Landlord under the Lease or any other instrument or agreement, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights shall not affect the obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder. Lease Guarantor understands that the exercise, or any forbearance from exercising, by Landlord of certain rights and remedies contained in the Lease may affect or eliminate Lease Guarantor’s right of subrogation against Tenant and that Lease Guarantor may therefore incur liability hereunder that is not subject to reimbursement; nevertheless Lease Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Landlord to exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, it being the purpose and intent of Lease Guarantor that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional, in each case in accordance with its terms hereunder.
17.3.3.2    No failure or delay on the part of Landlord in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Lease Guaranty shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise affect any such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
17.3.3.3    It is understood that Landlord, without impairing the Lease Guaranty, may, subject to the terms of the Lease, apply payments from Tenant or from any reletting of the Leased Property upon a default by Tenant or from or in connection with any exercise of rights or remedies, to any due and unpaid rent or other charges or to such other Guaranteed Obligations owed by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the Lease in such amounts and in such order as Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines; provided that any amount so paid and applied reduces the aggregate outstanding liabilities of Tenant under the Lease by such amount as required under the Lease.
17.3.4     Waivers and Other Acknowledgments .
17.3.4.1    Subject to Section 17.2 above, Lease Guarantor hereby waives (i) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand for performance, notice of non-performance,

62



default, acceleration, protest or dishonor with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that Landlord protect any property related thereto, (ii) all notices to Lease Guarantor, Tenant or any other person (whether of nonpayment, termination, acceptance of the Lease Guaranty, default under the Lease, loans or defaults under loans, assignment or sublease, sale of the Leased Property, changes in ownership of Landlord or Tenant, or any other matters relating to the Lease, the Leased Property or related matters, whether or not referred to herein, and including any and all notices of the creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of any Guaranteed Obligations arising under the Lease) in connection with or related to a claim under the Lease Guaranty, (iii) all demands whatsoever in respect of a claim under the Lease Guaranty, (iv) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Landlord’s part in the enforcement of its rights under the provisions of the Lease Guaranty and this Agreement, (v) any defense to the obligation to make any payments required under the Lease Guaranty (vi) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Landlord, (vii) any defense based on any right of set-off or recoupment or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of Lease Guarantor hereunder, and (viii) notice of adverse change in Tenant’s financial condition, or any other fact that might materially increase the risk to Lease Guarantor with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notice or demand given to Lease Guarantor in any instance will not entitle Lease Guarantor to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances nor constitute Landlord’s waiver of its right to take any future action in any circumstance without notice or demand. Lease Guarantor agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety. Lease Guarantor agrees that (other than during a Section 5.9.1(c) Period) it shall be collaterally estopped from contesting, and shall be bound conclusively in any subsequent action, in any jurisdiction, by the judgment in any action by Landlord against Tenant in connection with the Lease or any other Lease/MLSA Related Agreement (wherever instituted) as if Lease Guarantor were a party to such action even if not so joined as a party unless Lease Guarantor attempted to join such action and was not permitted to do so by Landlord.
17.3.4.2    Lease Guarantor hereby waives, and agrees that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets, or redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent, or otherwise affect the performance by Lease Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by Landlord of, the Lease Guaranty. Lease Guarantor represents, warrants, and agrees that, as of the Commencement Date, its obligations under this Lease Guaranty were not subject to any offsets or defenses against Landlord or Tenant of any kind. Lease Guarantor further agrees that its obligations under this Lease Guaranty shall not be subject to any counterclaims (to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law), offsets, or defenses (except the defense of actual payment or performance) against Landlord or against Tenant of any kind which may arise in the future.
17.3.4.3    Lease Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of Tenant, and of any and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that Lease Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that Landlord shall not have any duty to advise Lease Guarantor of any information known to Landlord (or otherwise) regarding such circumstances or risks.
17.3.5     Lease Guarantor Release .
17.3.5.1    Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the obligations and liabilities of Lease Guarantor hereunder shall not terminate, be released or be reduced in any respect (including if this Agreement is terminated for any reason) except as expressly set forth in this Section 17.3.5 .
17.3.5.2    Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 17.3.5 and Section 17.3.1.4 , the liability of Lease Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than with

63



respect to any Guaranty Termination Obligations) shall automatically terminate, and Lease Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement including its obligation to pay any Guaranteed Obligations (other than with respect to any Guaranty Termination Obligations) to Landlord (the date upon which a release as described in this sentence occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “ Guaranty Release Date ”) (i) upon the occurrence of the expiration or termination of this Agreement in accordance with the express provisions of Section 16.2 ; (ii) upon the effectuation of the Replacement Structure and execution and effectiveness of a Replacement MLSA in accordance with the express provisions of Section 21.1 , following a Non-Consented Lease Termination; (iii) if, following a Non-Consented Lease Termination, (x) Landlord or any Landlord’s Lender, as applicable, elects in writing that the Replacement Structure shall not occur or (y) the Replacement Structure does not occur as a direct and proximate result of Landlord’s acts or failure to act in accordance with Article XXI , in each case, solely to the extent expressly provided in Section 21.3 ; or (iv) if (x) Manager shall be terminated for Cause by Landlord expressly and in writing and (y) an arbitrator in a Cause Arbitration under clause (1) of the definition of “Terminated for Cause” subsequently determines that Cause did not exist for termination of Manager thereunder (it being understood that in the case of this clause (iv) , the Guaranty Release Date shall be deemed to be the date of Manager’s termination as set forth in clause (1) of the definition of “Terminated for Cause”). For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth in this Section 17.3.5.2 , the termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not result in the termination, release or reduction of Lease Guarantor’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement in any respect.
17.3.5.3    In connection with any release occurring on the Guaranty Release Date as described in Section 17.3.5.2 , Landlord shall take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Lease Guarantor to evidence such release.
17.3.5.4    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 17.3.5 or anything else otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) in the event that Manager is Terminated for Cause, then, except as set forth in Section 17.3.5.2(iv) , this Agreement shall not terminate with respect to Lease Guarantor in any respect (and Lease Guarantor shall not be released from any obligation or liability in respect of any aspect of the Guaranteed Obligations) and Lease Guarantor’s obligations shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with (and subject to) the terms of this Agreement, (ii) during any Transition Period, the obligations of Lease Guarantor, Tenant, Manager and Landlord hereunder shall continue in all respects for the duration of such Transition Period in accordance with (and subject to) the terms of this Agreement (it being understood that, in such event, Manager shall continue to act as manager pursuant to the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement and Article XXXVI of the Lease in accordance with Section 16.3.9 hereof), and (iii) in the event of a Non-Consented Lease Termination, the obligations of Lease Guarantor and the other Parties hereunder shall be governed by Article XXI .
17.3.5.5    [Reserved]
17.3.5.6    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements to the contrary (and without intending to vitiate, limit or supersede Section 1.3 hereof), but subject to Section 17.3.5.2 , in the event this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements (or any portion of any of them) is unenforceable (for any reason whatsoever) against any Party to this Agreement, including, without limitation, as a result of rejection of this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements in any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or other proceeding, the Lease Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect without any change or impairment (and shall not be terminated, released or reduced) in any respect, and shall be treated as if all of the obligations and liabilities of the Lease Guaranty were set forth, ab initio , in a separate instrument to which the Party against which this Agreement or any such Lease/MLSA Related Agreement (or any portion of any of them) is unenforceable is not a party.
17.3.5.7    Notwithstanding anything otherwise contained in this Agreement, for so long as any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any Guaranty Termination Obligations) payable pursuant to this Agreement has not been irrevocably paid in full in cash or if any Guaranteed

64



Obligations have been reinstated in accordance with Section 17.3.1.4 , all provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement shall survive and remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary so that Landlord may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it in respect of the Lease Guaranty hereunder, including any and all rights available to Landlord in respect of any Lease Guarantor Event of Default or any nonpayment in full in cash of any and all such Guaranteed Obligations as and when provided hereunder; provided that the provisions of Article XI and Section 17.4 shall terminate on the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date.
17.4     Guarantor Covenants .
17.4.1     Asset Sales . Prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor shall not effect any Asset Sale unless:
(1)    Lease Guarantor receives consideration equal to at least the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by a responsible officer of Lease Guarantor or, with respect to any Asset Sale to an Affiliate, as determined pursuant to the opinion referred to in clause (2) below) of the disposed assets measured as of the date of such Asset Sale; and
(2)    in the case of any Asset Sale to an Affiliate of Lease Guarantor, (a) such Asset Sale is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors of Lease Guarantor; (b) Lease Guarantor obtains an opinion from an Approved Fairness Opinion Firm that such Asset Sale is fair to Lease Guarantor from a financial point of view after such Approved Fairness Opinion Firm conducts an independent assessment of all material terms of such Asset Sale; and (c) prior to the consummation of any such Asset Sale, (i) Lease Guarantor offers, in writing, to make such Asset Sale to Landlord on the same terms on which such Asset Sale is proposed to be made to such Affiliate and (ii) Landlord either declines such offer or fails to provide written notice of acceptance of such offer to Lease Guarantor within thirty (30) Business Days of the date such offer is made to Landlord (in which event Lease Guarantor may effect such Asset Sale only upon the same terms offered to Landlord or on terms less favorable to the applicable buyer than the terms offered to Landlord). To constitute a valid offer in accordance with clause (2)(c)(i) above, Lease Guarantor shall furnish to Landlord all material information made available to the purchaser in such Asset Sale, including at a minimum, basic information identifying the applicable assets, material acquisition terms, including, without limitation, the purchase price and reasonable historical financial and all other customary diligence materials and other information relating to the applicable assets to be sold and such additional information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord and in the possession or control of Lease Guarantor or its Affiliates.
17.4.2     Acceptance of Asset Sale Offer . If Landlord accepts any offer described in clause (2)(c)(i)  of Section 17.4.1 within the time limit and in the manner described in clause (2)(c)(ii)  of Section 17.4.1 , then Landlord (or any designee of Landlord) and Lease Guarantor shall promptly proceed to consummate the Asset Sale contemplated by such offer on the terms set forth in such offer; provided that the parties shall be entitled to a minimum period of forty five (45) days between acceptance of the offer and the closing. In the event Landlord (or such designee) fails to consummate such Asset Sale on such terms, then Landlord shall be deemed to have declined such offer for purposes of this Section 17.4 and Lease Guarantor may effect such Asset Sale only upon the same terms offered to Landlord or on terms less favorable to the applicable buyer than the terms offered to Landlord.
17.4.3     Dividends . In addition to any other applicable restrictions hereunder, prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor shall not, directly or indirectly, declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution with respect to its capital stock or other equity interests with any assets other than cash unless such dividend or distribution would not reasonably be expected to result in Lease Guarantor’s inability to perform its Lease Guaranty obligations under this Agreement.
17.4.4     Restricted Payments . In addition to the foregoing, prior to the earlier of (1) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (2) the date that is six years after the Commencement Date,

65



Lease Guarantor shall not directly or indirectly (i) declare or pay, or cause to be declared or paid, any dividend, distribution, any other direct or indirect payment or transfer (in each case, in cash, stock, other property, a combination thereof or otherwise) with respect to any of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests, (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests, or (iii) engage in any other transaction with any direct or indirect holder of Lease Guarantor’s capital stock or other equity interests which is similar in purpose or effect to those described above (collectively, a “ Restricted Payment ”), except that Lease Guarantor can execute (1) any of the transactions outlined above if: (a) Lease Guarantor’s equity market capitalization after giving pro forma effect to such dividend, distribution, or other transaction is at least $5.5 billion, (b) the amount of such dividend, distribution, or other transaction (together with any and all other such dividends and distributions and other transactions made under this clause (1)(b) but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any dividends, distributions or other transactions to be made under clause (1)(c) or (2) below in such fiscal year), does not exceed, in the aggregate, (x) 25% of the net proceeds, up to a cap of $25 million in any fiscal year, from the disposition of assets by Lease Guarantor and its subsidiaries, plus (y) $100 million from other sources in any fiscal year or (c) Lease Guarantor’s equity market capitalization after giving pro forma effect to such dividend, distribution, or other transaction is at least $4.5 billion and the aggregate amount of such dividends, distributions or other transactions made under this clause (c) (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any dividends, distributions or other transactions made under clause (1)(b) above or clause (2) below in such fiscal year) is less than or equal to $125 million in any fiscal year and is funded solely by asset sale proceeds or (2) any transaction described in clause (ii) above so long as the aggregate amount of all such transactions made under this clause (2) (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any such transactions made from and after the Commencement Date under clause (1)(b) or (1)(c) above) is less than or equal to $199,500,000.00 (it being understood that from and after such time that the aggregate amount of all such transactions made from and after the Commencement Date under this clause (2) exceeds $199,500,000.00, no further transactions shall be permitted under this clause (2) ). Prior to the earlier of (1) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (2) the date that is six years after the Commencement Date, except as provided in clause (1)(a) or (1)(c) in the preceding sentence, any net proceeds from the disposition of assets by Lease Guarantor or its subsidiaries after the Commencement Date in excess of $25 million that are directly or indirectly distributed to, or otherwise received by, Lease Guarantor in any fiscal year shall not be used to fund any Restricted Payment.
17.4.5     Springing Covenants and Liens .
17.4.5.1    If at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor either (i) guaranties all or any portion of any Opco First Lien Debt (any such guaranty, an “ Opco Debt Guaranty ”), and the obligations under any such Opco Debt Guaranty are at any time secured by any property directly owned by CEC or any Springing Lien Subsidiary of CEC or (ii) causes all or any portion of the obligations under the Opco First Lien Debt to be at any time secured by any property directly owned by CEC or any Springing Lien Subsidiary of CEC (any and all such property in clauses (i) and (ii) , “ Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral ”), then, in each such instance and for so long as any such Opco Debt Guaranty or Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral is outstanding, Lease Guarantor shall, and shall cause any and all other grantors of Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral to grant, in the same security agreement documenting the grant of a security interest in the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral in favor of the Opco First Lien Debt (an “ Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest ”), to Landlord a lien (a “ Lease Guaranty Security Interest ”) on all Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral, which Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall secure all obligations of Lease Guarantor under the Lease Guaranty and shall rank pari passu with the Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest; provided that if the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral is limited solely to a pledge of Lease Guarantor’s or any other such grantor’s equity interest in CEOC, then neither Lease Guarantor nor any other such grantor shall be required to grant a Lease Guaranty Security Interest. Any Lease Guaranty Security Interest granted pursuant to this Section 17.4.5 shall be automatically released upon the earlier of (i) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (ii) the release of the respective Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (unless such release occurs in connection with a refinancing of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt with a Non-Third Party Financing, in which case such Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be automatically released upon the repayment or refinancing (other than with other

66



Non-Third Party Financing) of such Non-Third Party Financing). Any Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be a “silent” security interest, and Landlord shall have no voting, enforcement or default-related rights with respect to such security interest unless and until the earlier of (x) the occurrence of a Lease Guarantor Event of Default and (y) the occurrence of any event that would permit the holders of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt to take enforcement actions in respect of such Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest, at which time Landlord shall be permitted to exercise all rights available to a secured creditor with respect to the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral, including all rights available to any holder of an Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest. Lease Guarantor shall cause the beneficiaries of any Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest to enter into and become bound by an intercreditor agreement that is consistent with this provision and that is reasonably acceptable to Lease Guarantor and Landlord and containing, among other things, provisions governing the pari passu nature of any Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest and Lease Guaranty Security Interest, and the “waterfall” by which any proceeds of, or collections on, the Lease/Debt Guaranty Collateral will be distributed on an equal and ratable basis as between the beneficiaries of any Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest and Lease Guaranty Security Interest.
17.4.5.2    If at any time prior to the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date, Lease Guarantor becomes obligated on any Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (it being understood that a customary equity pledge solely of Lease Guarantor’s equity interests in CEOC shall not be deemed to be an Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest, unless such pledge includes covenants other than those customary for a pledge of such type or specifically relating to the pledge of equity interests in CEOC ( e.g. , covenants concerning Lease Guarantor’s or such other grantor’s existence and place of organization, other covenants relating to maintaining the validity, enforceability, perfection, and priority of the pledge and prohibitions of liens on the pledged collateral)), and the obligations that are the subject of such Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest are refinanced at any time as part of a Non-Third Party Financing, then any covenant provisions included in such Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest that are applicable to Lease Guarantor and its subsidiaries shall be automatically incorporated into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis , and shall apply to Lease Guarantor and any such subsidiaries, for the benefit of Landlord hereunder. Any such covenants that are so incorporated into this Agreement shall automatically cease to apply to Lease Guarantor and any such subsidiaries upon the earlier of (x) the Guaranty Covenant Termination Date and (y) the release of the respective Opco Debt Guaranty or Opco First Lien Debt Security Interest (unless such release occurs in connection with a refinancing of the applicable Opco First Lien Debt with a Non-Third Party Financing, in which case such Lease Guaranty Security Interest shall be automatically released upon the repayment or refinancing (other than with other Non-Third Party Financing) of such Non-Third Party Financing).
17.4.6     Lease Guaranty Unaffected . Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the making of the Lease Guaranty by CEC to Landlord was a material, critical and indispensable inducement to Landlord agreeing to enter into this Agreement and the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements, and, but for the fact that CEC has delivered the Lease Guaranty to Landlord, Landlord would not have entered into this Agreement or any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements. For this and other reasons, it is the intent of the Parties that, other than as expressly provided in Section 17.3.5 , the Lease Guaranty will continue in full force and effect under any and all circumstances and shall not be terminated, released, impaired or reduced in any respect.
17.5     Lease Guarantor Representations and Warranties .
17.5.1     Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law . Lease Guarantor represents and warrants as of the First Amendment Date that Lease Guarantor (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware; (ii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification; and (iii) is in compliance with all Applicable Law where the failure to comply would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on Lease Guarantor’s ability to pay the Guaranteed Obligations or perform its other obligations in accordance with the terms hereof.

67



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

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
18.1     Generally .
18.1.1    Except for disputes specifically provided in this Agreement to be referred to Expert Resolution, all claims, demands, controversies, disputes, actions or causes of action of any nature or character arising out of or in connection with, or related to, this Agreement, whether legal or equitable, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise shall be resolved in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and any appellate courts thereto, or if federal jurisdiction is lacking, then in the state courts of New York State located in New York County. The Parties agree that service of process for purposes of any such litigation or legal proceeding need not be personally served or served within the

68



State of New York, but may be served with the same effect as if the Party in question were served within the State of New York, by giving notice containing such service to the intended recipient (with copies to counsel) in the manner provided in Section 20.5 . This provision shall survive and be binding upon the Parties after this Agreement is no longer in effect.
18.1.2    If any dispute between or among any of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates is pending in any state or federal court located in the State of New York with respect to this Agreement, and any subsequent dispute arises between or among one or more Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which is not required by this Agreement to be referred to Expert Resolution and is pending in any other state or federal court, the Parties shall (to the extent permissible under applicable rules) jointly move to consolidate such subsequent dispute in the same court (located in the State of New York) with the pending dispute, and in the event that the court declines to consolidate the disputes (or consolidation is not permissible under applicable rules), the Parties shall request that the court refer the subsequent dispute to the judge presiding over the pending dispute as a related case, it being the intent of the Parties to keep any litigation relating to this Agreement within the same court to the fullest extent possible under the law.
18.2     Expert Resolution . With respect to any dispute expressly provided herein to be submitted to an Expert pursuant to this Agreement, any Party that is party to such dispute may require that the dispute be submitted to final and binding arbitration (without appeal or review) in New York, New York (“ Expert Resolution ”), administered by an independent arbitration tribunal consisting of three (3) arbitrators, one of which is appointed by each Party and the third arbitrator shall be selected by the other two arbitrators (collectively, the “ Expert ”). Such Expert Resolution shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Expert shall be a person having not less than ten (10) years’ experience in the area of expertise on which the dispute is based and having no conflict of interest with either Party. With respect to any dispute to be submitted to an Expert pursuant to this Agreement, the use of the Expert shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties, and neither Party shall attempt to adjudicate such dispute in any other forum. The decision of the Expert shall be final and binding on the applicable Parties involved in such dispute and such Expert Resolution proceeding and shall not be capable of challenge, whether by Expert Resolution, arbitration, in court or otherwise.
18.2.1     Related Disputes .
18.2.1.1    Any two (2) or more disputes which are required to be submitted to an Expert under this Agreement shall be considered related for purposes of this section if they involve the same or substantially similar issues of law or fact. In the event any Party to a dispute (the “ Subsequent Related Dispute ”) designates it as being related to a prior or pending dispute (the “ Prior Related Dispute ”), the Subsequent Related Dispute shall be referred for resolution to the Expert to whom the Prior Related Dispute was referred (the “ Initial Expert ”). If a Party objects to the designation of a Subsequent Related Dispute as being related to a Prior Related Dispute, the objection shall be resolved by the Initial Expert. If the Initial Expert concludes that the disputes are related, the Subsequent Related Dispute shall be resolved by the Initial Expert in accordance with this Section 18.2 , and to the extent practical, issues in the Subsequent Related Dispute that are the same or substantially similar as in the Prior Related Dispute, shall be resolved in a manner consistent with the resolution of such issues in the Prior Related Dispute. If the Initial Expert concludes that the Subsequent Related Dispute is not related to the Prior Related Dispute, the Subsequent Related Dispute shall be referred to an Expert selected in accordance with the introductory paragraph of this Section 18.2 .
18.2.1.2    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a claim is asserted involving an alleged Event of Default under this Agreement (a “ Default Claim ”), any and all issues, whether legal, factual or otherwise, relating to such Default Claim shall be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of New York in accordance with the provisions hereof regardless of whether any of such issues would otherwise be required to be referred to an

69



Expert for resolution under a provision of this Agreement; provided that, subject to Section 18.2.3 , any decision by an Expert made in accordance with this Agreement which was rendered prior to the assertion of a Default Claim and which relates to such Default Claim shall be considered final and binding in any court proceeding involving such Default Claim, it being the intent and understanding of the Parties that, except for specific issues that were determined by an Expert before a Default Claim is asserted, all issues relating to such Default Claim shall be resolved exclusively by the court in the action or proceeding involving the Default Claim.
18.2.2     Restrictions on Expert . THE EXPERT SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO VARY OR IGNORE THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING SECTION 18.7.5 , AND SHALL BE BOUND BY APPLICABLE LAW.

18.2.3     Landlord and Expert Resolution . For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting Section 2.5 in any manner, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that (i) any determination made by an Expert under this Agreement that does not involve any rights or obligations of Landlord hereunder shall not be binding on Landlord, (ii) any determination made by an Expert under this Agreement that involves any rights or obligations of Landlord hereunder shall not be binding on Landlord unless Landlord was provided with the similar opportunity to participate therein as the other parties thereto, (iii) to the extent the applicable dispute covers issues that are also in dispute under the Lease as to which the Lease does not subject such dispute to arbitration, then the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease shall govern and such dispute shall not be required to be submitted to Expert Resolution and (iv) to the extent the applicable dispute covers issues that are also in dispute under the Lease as to which the Lease subjects such dispute to arbitration, then the provisions, terms and conditions of the Lease shall govern and such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable provisions in the Lease.
18.3     Time Limit . With respect to any dispute required hereunder to be submitted to Expert Resolution, such Expert Resolution of a dispute must be commenced within twelve (12) months from the date on which a Party first gave written notice to the other applicable Party of the existence of the dispute, and any Party who fails to commence litigation or Expert Resolution within such twelve (12) month period shall be deemed to have waived any of its affirmative rights and claims in connection with the dispute and shall be barred from asserting such rights and claims at any time thereafter except as a defense to any related or similar claims subsequently raised by the other party. An Expert Resolution shall be deemed commenced by a Party when the Party sends a notice to the other Party and to the American Arbitration Association, identifying the dispute and requesting Expert Resolution. Litigation shall be deemed commenced by a Party when the Party serves a complaint (or, as the case may be, a counterclaim) on the other Party with respect to the dispute. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be construed to require the commencement within any particular period of time of any litigation involving disputes that are not required hereunder to be submitted to Expert Resolution.
18.4     Prevailing Party’s Expenses . The prevailing Party in any Expert Resolution, litigation or other legal action or proceeding arising out of, in connection with or related to this Agreement shall be entitled to recover from the losing Party all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing Party in connection with such Expert Resolution, litigation or other legal action or proceeding (including any appeals and actions to enforce any Expert Resolution awards and court judgments), including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements for attorneys, experts and other third parties engaged in connection therewith and its share of the fees and costs of the Expert. If a Party prevails on some, but not all, of its claims, such Party shall be entitled to recover an equitable amount of such fees, expenses and disbursements, as determined by the applicable Expert(s) or court. All amounts recovered by the prevailing Party under this Section 18.4 shall be separate from, and in addition to, any other amount included in any Expert Resolution award or judgment rendered in favor of such Party.

of this Agreement; (b) Manager shall have the authority to bind Tenant with respect to third Persons to the extent Manager is performing its obligations under and consistent with this Agreement; (c) Manager’s agency established with Tenant is, and is intended to be, an agency coupled with an interest; and (d) this Agreement does not create joint venturers, partners or joint tenants with respect to the Managed Facility.

In addition, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Manager may, due to local business conditions or otherwise, waive or modify any comparable terms of other management agreements heretofore or hereafter entered into by Manager or its Affiliates; provided , however , for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing contained in this Section 20.11 shall be deemed to vitiate, limit or supersede Manager’s obligation to manage the Operation of the Managed Facility in a Non-Discriminatory manner, in accordance with the Operating Standard and subject to Manager’s Standard of Care.
20.12     Compliance with Law . Tenant and Manager shall each exercise their respective rights, perform their respective obligations and take all other actions required or permitted to be taken by each of them hereunder in compliance with all Applicable Laws.

Tenant shall provide prompt written notice to Manager and Lease Guarantor of the receipt of any written notice from Landlord (or any Landlord’s Lender) delivered pursuant to the Lease, including any notice of breach under the Lease or any termination notice delivered under the Lease, in each case including a copy of the relevant notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 20.15 is only for the benefit of Manager (and not Landlord).
20.16     Omnibus Agreement; Services Co LLC Agreement . The Parties agree that any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification of the Omnibus Agreement or of the Services Co LLC Agreement made from or after the Commencement Date that is (i) by its own terms, not Non-Discriminatory as to the Managed Facility, (ii) not Non-Discriminatory to the Non-CPLV Managed Facilities and the Managed Facility, taken as a whole, (iii) reasonably likely to result in a level of service or quality of Operation of the Managed Facility that does not meet the Operating Standard, or (iv) reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Managed Facility, shall, solely with respect to Tenant and the Managed Facility, be void and of no effect, absent the express written consent of Landlord.

21.1.2    Upon such occurrence of the foregoing clauses 21.1.1(i) , (ii) , and (iii) (collectively, the “ Replacement Structure ”), (x) Lease Guarantor, Manager, Replacement Tenant and Landlord shall enter into a new management and lease support agreement on terms identical to this Agreement as in effect immediately prior to such termination (and Lease Guarantor, Manager and their respective applicable Affiliates shall enter into any necessary associated sub-management, licensing and other applicable arrangements) (collectively, the “ Replacement MLSA ”), it being understood that Replacement Tenant shall be the “Tenant” under the Replacement MLSA for all purposes, (y) the management rights and obligations of Manager and guaranty obligations and liabilities of Lease Guarantor shall continue under such Replacement MLSA with respect to such Replacement Lease on terms identical to this Agreement as in effect immediately prior to such termination (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that, notwithstanding any such termination, Lease Guarantor shall be liable for any and all Guaranteed Obligations existing or arising under this Agreement prior to effectuation of the Replacement Structure and such Replacement MLSA on the terms contemplated herein) and (z) upon the effectuation of the Replacement Structure and the execution and effectiveness of such Replacement MLSA, the termination of this Agreement under Section 16.2 (without a Termination for Cause) and the Guarantee Release Date under this Agreement shall each be deemed to have occurred.
21.2     Termination of MLSA or other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any of the other Lease/MLSA Related Agreements to the contrary (and without vitiating, limiting or superseding any of Section 1.3 , Section 17.3.5.6 , Section 17.4.5 or Section 21.1 hereof in any respect), in the event this Agreement (or any portion of it) is terminated, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by a rejection in any bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution proceedings, other than as expressly permitted by Article XVI or as provided for in Section 17.3.5 hereof, other than expressly in writing by or with the express written consent of Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, then, unless Landlord (or, during the continuation of any event of default under any Landlord Financing, any Landlord’s Lender) shall expressly elect otherwise in writing and expressly consent in writing (in its sole and absolute discretion) to the termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall, without expense or loss of economic benefit to Landlord or any creditor under any Landlord Financing, implement the Replacement Structure (or any applicable aspects thereof) described in Section 21.1 herein, as necessary to replicate all prior arrangements with respect to management, sub-management, licensing, Intellectual Property and otherwise as contemplated by this Agreement, including the guaranty obligations and liabilities of Lease Guarantor on terms identical to this Agreement as in effect immediately

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

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Section 2.8 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Section 2.8 Tax had never been paid.

The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith and the Collateral Assignment of Agreements, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including all of Borrower’s interest in and to the CPLV Leases, CPLV Lease Documents, CPLV Trademark Agreements and CPLV Security Documents), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any member of Borrower in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any member of Borrower in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.

(ix)      insurance against loss or damage by acts of terrorism, either included as part of the property policy or as standalone coverage, in either case, in amounts and on terms consistent with those required pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(i) and (ii) above; provided, however , that if the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (“ TRIPRA ”) or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, Borrower shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required by the preceding sentence but, in such event, Borrower shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the property and business income/rental loss insurance (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism coverage) required hereunder (“ Terrorism Premium Cap ”) and, if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to the Terrorism Premium Cap. For so long TRIPRA is in effect and continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts, Lender shall accept terrorism insurance with coverage against acts which are “certified” within the meaning of TRIPRA; and

-114-




(x)      Employment Practices Liability, including third party coverage, in an amount not less than $10,000,000.00 with respect to the Tenant:
(xi)      Crime coverage in amounts not less than $8,000,000.00 with respect to the Tenant;

(xiii)      upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards, in each case, which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b)      All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “ Policies ” or in the singular, the “ Policy ”), and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of “A: VIII” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” or better by Moody’s, (if Moody’s rates the Securities and rates the applicable insurance company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain a portion of the property coverage with Aspen Specialty Insurance Company (“ Aspen ”) and Starr Surplus Lines Insurance Company (“ Starr ”) on the property policy in their current participation amounts and positions within the syndicate provided that (x) the respective AM Best rating of either Aspen or Starr as of the date hereof is not withdrawn or downgraded below the date hereof and (y) at renewal of the current policy term, Borrower shall replace Aspen and Starr with insurance companies meeting the rating requirements set forth hereinabove. In addition, in the event that any of the insurance companies’ ratings fall below the requirements set forth above, Borrower shall have sixty (60) days within which to replace such insurance company with an insurance company that qualifies under the requirements set forth above. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Prior to the expiration of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal Policies, to be followed by complete copies of the Policies upon issuance, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “ Insurance Premiums ”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to pay the premiums in installments to the insurance company and/or finance the premiums through a premium finance company provided Borrower submits to Lender proof of payment of each and every installment prior to the date such installments become due and payable. Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days, forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any proposed or actual adverse modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.
(c)      Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder or shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of

-115-




Section 6.1(a) hereof. Further, to the extent the Policies providing terrorism coverage as set forth in Section 6.1(a)(ix) are maintained pursuant to a blanket insurance Policy that covers more than one location within a one thousand foot radius of the Property (the “ Radius ”), the limits of such blanket insurance Policy must be sufficient to maintain terrorism coverage as set forth in this Section 6.1 for the Property and any and all other locations combined within the Radius that are covered by such blanket insurance policy calculated on a total insured value basis unless (i) Borrower delivers to Lender an endorsement to the direct blanket insurance Policy (and any reinsurance agreements with respect to a Captive Insurance Company shall follow form in this regard), in form and substance acceptable to Lender, guaranteeing priority payout privilege over any and all other locations insured by the blanket insurance Policy in the event of a Casualty; or (ii) Borrower provides such terrorism coverage by a separate Policy insuring only the Property and otherwise in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1 . With regard to any blanket insurance Policy with respect to property-related coverages (other than terrorism), in the event a catastrophic loss or multiple losses at multiple properties covered by such blanket insurance policy exhaust any per occurrence or aggregate insurance limits under such policy, the Property shall be allocated no less than its pro rata share of the proceeds with respect to such loss based on the proportion that the limits bear to the total loss born by all the properties affected by such catastrophic loss which are covered under such blanket policy, with no property receiving an allocation exceeding the loss suffered by such property.
(d)      All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, ( other than those required by Sections 6.1(vii) , (x) and (xi) with respect to the Tenant), shall list Borrower as a named insured or additional insured without restrictions (or loss payee with respect to property-related coverages maintained by the CPLV Tenant) and, with respect to liability policies, except for the Policies referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vi) , (vii), (x) and (xi) of this Agreement, shall list Lender its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property policies, including but not limited to terrorism, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. Nothing herein shall prohibit CPLV Tenant Lender and their respective successors and/or assigns from being listed as additional insureds and receiving the benefit of a non-contributing mortgage clause (“ CPLV Tenant Lender Endorsements ”) to the extent required pursuant to the CPLV Tenant Loan and, in either case, as their interests may appear. In no event shall any CPLV Tenant Lender Endorsements impede or supersede Lender’s right to any proceeds in connection with the Property.
(e)      All property Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i)      no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii)      the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premiums;

-116-




(iii)      the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the issuers elect not to renew the Policy prior to its expiration; and
(iv)      Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f)      If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of the insurance coverage as required hereunder after five (5) Business Days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g)      As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 6.1, Borrower will not be in default under this Section 6.1 if Borrower maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a “ Non-Conforming Policy ”), provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), Borrower shall have received (1) Lender’s prior written consent thereto and (2) confirmed that Lender has received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any such Non-Conforming Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby reserves the right to deny its consent to any Non-Conforming Policy regardless of whether or not Lender has consented to the same on any prior occasion.
(h)      Notwithstanding the foregoing rating requirements as set forth in Section 6.1(b) , the terrorism coverage required in Section 6.1(a)(ix) may be written by a non-rated captive insurer owned by CEC (“ Captive Insurance Company ”), provided the following conditions are met and continue to be satisfied with respect to such Captive Insurance Company:

(i)      TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute shall be in full force and effect;
(ii)      the terrorism Policy issued by such Captive Insurance Company, together with any other terrorism Policy then in effect issued by one or more insurance companies which shall satisfy the requirements of Section 6.1 , provides a limit in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.1(a)(ix) and, as applicable, Section 6.1(c) above;
(iii)      except with respect to the deductibles permitted under Section 6.1 , those covered losses under terrorism policies which are not reinsured by the federal government under TRIPRA and paid to the Captive Insurance Company shall be reinsured with a cut-through endorsement by insurance companies which shall be rated “A:VIII” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and at least “A” with S&P and “A2” with Moody’s, to the extent Moody’s rates the Securities and rates the applicable insurance company;

-117-




(iv)      all re-insurance agreements between such Captive Insurance Company and all such re-insurance companies providing the referenced re-insurance shall be subject to reasonable approval of Lender. Lender confirms that it has received and approved such agreements as of the Closing Date and that any material and adverse changes to such form of re-insurance agreement shall be subject to reasonable approval of Lender;
(v)      such Captive Insurance Company shall not be subject to a bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding;
(vi)      such Captive Insurance Company shall be prohibited from conducting other business unrelated to the operation of the captive (the operation of the captive being the issuance of policies and purchase of reinsurance and other like services in connection with properties in which Tenant, Borrower or Affiliates of Tenant or Borrower have a management and/or ownership interest and obtaining letters of credit or backstopping or otherwise collateralizing or supporting letters of credit for the purpose of insurance and surety bonds, including for the benefit of its Affiliates);
(vii)      such Captive Insurance Company shall be licensed in any state of the United States of America or such other jurisdiction reasonably acceptable to Lender and qualified to issue the terrorism Policy in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

(ix)      no law or regulation, or formal written opinion, statement, or decree binding on a Governmental Authority, shall have been issued by any Governmental Authority providing that any insurance company or program which is similar to such Captive Insurance Company or its program does not qualify for such benefits;
(x)      Lender shall have received each of the following, each of which shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Lender:
1.
the organizational documents of such Captive Insurance Company;
2.
any regulatory agreements of such Captive Insurance Company;
3.
the license for the State of Nevada or such other jurisdiction as applicable for such Captive Insurance Company;

5.
a description of the structure and amount of reserves and capitalization of such Captive Insurance Company;

-118-

(xi)      the organizational documents of such Captive Insurance Company shall not be materially amended without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and
(xii)      except as otherwise expressly set forth above, all such insurance provided by such Captive Insurance Company to Borrower, with respect to the Property, shall otherwise comply with all other terms and conditions of Section 6.1 ;
(xiii)      in the event that an official written Interpretive Letter or Interim Guidance (as such terms are used on the official website of the United States Treasury Department) is published by the United States Treasury Department with respect to TRIPRA binding on a Governmental Authority with respect to Borrower and which provides that any insurance company or program which is similar to such Captive Insurance Company or its program does not qualify for the benefits under TRIPRA, then Borrower shall be required to procure a terrorism Policy otherwise complying with the above provisions. If any such Interpretive Letter or Interim Guidance referred to in this paragraph provides (A) for a period during which the Treasury Department will defer or suspend enforcement of the provisions of such Interpretive Letter or Interim Guidance, then Borrower shall have the right to defer procurement of a replacement terrorism Policy until the expiration of such deferral or suspension period or (B) that existing programs would be exempt from the Interpretive Letter or Interim Guidance, then Borrower shall not be required to procure a replacement terrorism Policy; and

7.3.3      Performance of Replacements . (a)  Borrower shall, or shall cause CPLV Tenant to, make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other comparable properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating.

Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(f)      The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender and Permitted Encumbrances).

Moreover, the indemnification and reimbursement obligations provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective, valid and binding obligations of the Indemnifying Persons, whether or not an indemnification agreement described above is provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the liability of Indemnifying Persons under this clause (b) shall not extend to any Liabilities (x) pertaining to any misstatements or omissions in any Disclosure Document other than Covered Disclosure Information requested by Lender in writing to be reviewed by Indemnifying Persons, or (y) unless Lender requested in writing that Indemnifying Persons review such Covered Disclosure Information contained in the Disclosure Document and such Covered Disclosure Information

-151-




contained untrue statements or omissions constituting Liabilities hereunder and Indemnifying Persons did not identify such untrue statements or omissions.
(b)      In connection with Exchange Act Filings, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities, provided, however, that the liability of Indemnifying Persons under this clause (c) shall not extend to any Liabilities (x) pertaining to any misstatements or omissions in any Exchange Act Filing other than Covered Disclosure Information requested by Lender in writing to be reviewed by Indemnifying Persons or (y) unless Lender requested in writing that Indemnifying Persons review such Covered Disclosure Information contained in the Exchange Act Filing and such Covered Disclosure Information contained untrue statements or omissions constituting Liabilities hereunder and Indemnifying Persons did not identify such untrue statements or omissions.
(c)      Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided , however , that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2 . If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided , however , if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and

-152-




disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
(d)      Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(e)      The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2 ), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2 , (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.
(f)      The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2 .

-153-




(g)      The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(h)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3      Exculpation . Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the CPLV Rents, or any other Collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided , however , that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any assignment of leases contained in the Mortgage; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation actually incurred by Lender (including reasonable, out of pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred but excluding (x) consequential damages and/or lost profits, and (y) punitive, exemplary or other special damages, except to the extent claimed against or recovered from Lender by any third party which are not a result of any fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by Lender) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(vi)      failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges or judgments incurred by or on behalf of Borrower that can create Liens on any portion of the Property (except to the extent such failure occurs solely as a result of Lender applying CPLV Rents to the Debt, or holding CPLV Rents as additional collateral for the Loan, during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Cash Sweep Period, and such charges or judgments relate to or otherwise arose in respect of work, matters or other actions that commenced prior to the occurrence of such Event of Default or Cash Sweep Event);

(viii)      failure by Borrower to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity or comply with any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in Section 4.1.30 ;

(f)      Treatment of Certain Refunds . If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Section 2.8 Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.8 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.8 ), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Section 2.8 Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Section 2.8 Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Section 2.8 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Section 2.8 Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make

-52-



available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Section 2.8 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g)      Indemnification by the Lenders . Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Section 2.8 Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.1.1(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Section 2.8 Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (g).
(h)      Survival . Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.8 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the Property is bound, except to the extent such default would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower has any material financial

obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) Permitted Indebtedness, (b) obligations under the Loan Documents and (c) obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents.
4.1.6      Title . The pledgor under the Pledge Agreement is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good title to, the Collateral pledged thereunder, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC Financing Statements relating to the Collateral when properly filed in the appropriate records and Borrower’s delivery of the certificates as set forth in Section 2(b) of the Pledge Agreement to Collateral Agent, will create a valid, perfected first priority security interest in and to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Section 10.10      Preferences . Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Administrative Agent may be paid from any amounts in the applicable subaccounts of the Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(a)      Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that are actually imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (iii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “ Indemnified Liabilities ”); provided , however , that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable order or for (x) any consequential damages and/or lost profits, or (y) punitive, exemplary or other special damages, except to the extent claimed against or recovered from any Indemnified Party by any third party which are not a result of any fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Indemnified Party). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties. If any Indemnified Party shall seek payment from Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.13(b) , Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, provided that no compromise or settlement shall be entered into without such Indemnified Party’s reasonable consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Indemnified Party concludes that there are any legal defenses

-137-



available to it and/or other Indemnified Parties that are additional from or additional to those available to Borrower, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

Section 10.16      No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party; Beneficiaries .

(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy‑in‑common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(a)      This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of each Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of such Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that such Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by each Lender if, in such Lender’s sole discretion, such Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Administrative Agent (for itself and on behalf of Lender) in its sole discretion, provided that Borrower and its Affiliates shall be permitted to make any disclosure required by any applicable

-138-



federal or State securities laws, rules or regulations without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent.

Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

(a) Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB is hereby appointed as Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each Lender originally named herein or who hereafter becomes a Lender hereunder hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to act as agent for the Lenders and to take such actions as the Lenders are obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein (including in its role as “Collateral Agent”), together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition Administrative Agent shall have the power to issue and is hereby authorized by the Lenders to issue all of the Lenders’ consents and approvals and waivers hereunder, as directed by the Lenders in connection therewith if and to the extent such Lenders have the right to so direct hereunder. Administrative Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with respect to any Lender by reason of this Agreement. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative

-142-



Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
(b)    Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB shall also act as the “Collateral Agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Section 11.2      Reliance . The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that all acts (with respect to the exercise of any rights or the granting of any consent, waiver or approval on behalf of the Lenders) of Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as agents for the Lenders, shall be deemed legally conclusive and binding; and Borrower or any applicable third party (including any court) shall be entitled to rely on any and all acts of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent with respect to the exercise of any rights or the granting of any consent, waiver or approval on behalf of the Lenders in all circumstances where an action by a Lender is required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the provisions of any other Loan Document or by applicable laws without the right or necessity of making any inquiry of such Lender as to the authority of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent with respect to such matter. In no event shall any of the foregoing limit the rights or obligations of any Lender with respect to any other Lender pursuant to this Article XI.
Section 11.3      Powers . Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall each have and may exercise all powers that the Lenders have under the Loan Documents and shall exercise such powers on behalf of the Lenders, as applicable. All rights of action (including the right to file proof of claims) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be enforced by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, without the possession of any Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relating thereto.
Section 11.4      Employment of Agents and Counsel . Each of Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent may undertake any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under

any other Loan Document by or through employees, sub-agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by them or their authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact. Each of Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any employees, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such employee, sub-agent or attorney-in-fact.
Section 11.5      General Immunity . Neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent nor any of their respective Related Parties shall be liable to Borrower or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud, willful misconduct or material default of its obligations hereunder.
Section 11.6      Exculpatory Provisions.

Each Lender and Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.

(b)    shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Lenders (or such number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws; and

(c)    shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty or responsibility to disclose, nor shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.


-144-



Neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Lenders (or such number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. Any such action taken or failure to act pursuant to the foregoing shall be binding on all Lenders.

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Section 2.8 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Section 2.8 Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Section 2.8 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g)      Indemnification by the Lenders . Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Section 2.8 Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.1.1(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Section 2.8 Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the

-54-



relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (g).
(h)      Survival . Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.8 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

If any Indemnified Party shall seek payment from Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.13(b) , Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, provided that no compromise or settlement shall be entered into without such Indemnified Party’s reasonable consent.

(a) Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB is hereby appointed as Administrative Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each Lender originally named herein or who hereafter becomes a Lender hereunder hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to act as agent for the Lenders and to take such actions as the Lenders are obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein (including in its role as “Collateral Agent”), together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition Administrative Agent shall have the power to issue and is hereby authorized by the Lenders to issue all of the Lenders’ consents and approvals and waivers hereunder, as directed by the Lenders in connection therewith if and to the extent such Lenders have the right to so direct hereunder. Administrative Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with respect to any Lender by reason of this Agreement. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
(b)    Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB shall also act as the “Collateral Agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that all acts (with respect to the exercise of any rights or the granting of any consent, waiver or approval on behalf of the Lenders) of Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as agents for the Lenders, shall be deemed legally conclusive and binding; and Borrower or any applicable third party (including any court) shall be entitled to rely on any and all acts of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent with respect to the exercise of any rights or the granting of any consent, waiver or approval on behalf of the Lenders in all circumstances where an action by a Lender is required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the provisions of any other Loan Document or by applicable laws without the right or necessity of making any inquiry of such Lender as to the authority of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent with respect to such matter. In no event shall any of the foregoing limit the rights or obligations of any Lender with respect to any other Lender pursuant to this Article XI.
Section 11.3      Powers . Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall each have and may exercise all powers that the Lenders have under the Loan Documents and shall exercise such powers on behalf of the Lenders, as applicable.

Section 11.5      General Immunity . Neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent nor any of their respective Related Parties shall be liable to Borrower or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud, willful misconduct or material default of its obligations hereunder.
Section 11.6      Exculpatory Provisions . Each Lender and Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.

If CEC does not so exercise the CEC ROFR prior to the expiration of the CEC Election Period, then CEC shall be deemed to have waived the CEC ROFR with respect to the applicable CEC Opportunity Transaction only.

(d)    If CEC waives (or is deemed to have waived) the CEC ROFR with respect to a CEC Opportunity Transaction, then Propco (or the applicable Propco Related Party) shall be free to consummate the CEC Opportunity Transaction without CEC’s (or its Affiliates’) involvement, upon terms not materially more favorable to the applicable counterparty (if any) than those presented to CEC in the CEC Opportunity Package.

(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the timeframe to consummate a CEC Opportunity Transaction is expedited as a result of a competitive bidding process or other bona fide third-party requirements such that adherence to the right of first refusal procedures in the timeframes set forth under this Section 2 would result in a reasonable likelihood that Propco (or the applicable Propco Related Party) would not be able to execute the CEC Opportunity Transaction (as determined by Propco in good faith), then Propco (or the applicable Propco Related Party) may proceed to consummate such CEC Opportunity Transaction without CEC’s (or its Affiliates’) involvement; provided, however, that (i) subject to Propco’s ability to structure the initial transaction in the manner provided in the following clause (ii), as soon as reasonably possible following Propco’s (or the applicable Propco Related Party’s) consummation of such CEC Opportunity Transaction, Propco shall provide to CEC an opportunity to cause Affiliates of CEC to lease and the Manager to manage the applicable ROFR Property (with such ROFR Property to be owned by Affiliates of Propco) in accordance with the terms of this Section 2, and (ii) Propco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure such initial transaction in a manner that would facilitate CEC’s exercise of such rights following consummation of such transaction; provided further however, that for the avoidance of doubt, if such initial transaction cannot after the use of commercially reasonable efforts be structured in such a manner without resulting in an adverse effect on such transaction or Propco (other than an adverse effect that is immaterial), Propco shall not be required to provide to CEC an
