partnership, joint venture, or similar arrangement, the purpose of which is the
ownership, operation or management of any Hotel/Casino; or (iv) the acquisition
of an ownership interest in any entity that operates any Hotel/Casino; provided,
however, that nothing in the foregoing will prohibit an equity investment in a
publicly-traded company of less than one percent (1.0%) of the issued and
outstanding equity of such company. “Restricted Area” means the area that is
within a 25-mile radius around the Resort. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing

Affiliate thereof from engaging in any Business Activity whatsoever outside of
the Restricted Area.

on behalf of Manager, and not in his individual capacity, shall (i) manage

William W. Warner shall be responsible for the oversight of Manager and
Manager’s personnel in the performance of Manager’s duties and obligations under
this Agreement, and shall dedicate sufficient time, effort and resources in
connection with the management and operation of the Resort. As the expertise of
William W. Warner is primary to the success of the Resort, this Agreement may be
terminated upon thirty (30) days prior written notice without penalty by Owner
in the event that Manager is no longer under the direction or control of William
W. Warner (provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, amounts payable
in accordance with Section 3.5 will be payable in connection with any such
termination).

2.12 Relationship of Parties. Owner, as principal, and Manager, as agent,
acknowledge and agree that this Agreement creates an agency relationship and
Manager shall owe to Owner all duties and obligations arising from an agency
relationship, that exist or may be implied, including without limitation all

relating to the Manager’s authority and obligations will govern to the extent of
any inconsistency (to the extent allowed by law) with legal principles of agency
relationship, and (b) nothing in this Agreement shall constitute, or be
construed to be, or create, a partnership, joint venture or lease or employment

as Manager is not required to incur any out-of-pocket expense in connection with
the continuation of the use of the liquor license, and Manager shall in
Manager’s reasonable judgment be adequately protected against any liabilities
relating to the use of the liquor license, and Manager still manages the Liquor
Operations. Any such period as described in the preceding sentence will be

any contested amounts not paid, the Party contesting such amount shall deliver
to the other Party a statement describing such contested amount and describing
the basis for such Party’s dispute of such amount, which, failing the Parties’

Owner’s notice must include in detail the specific items in the Resort Operating
Plan which Owner disapproves and the reasons for its disapproval, as well as
those items in the Resort Operating Plan (if any) of which Owner approves. All
items in the Resort Operating Plan which are thus approved by Owner shall become

other modifications to the Resort Operating Plan as Manager deems necessary,
provided that the total amount budgeted for any department in the Resort
Operating Plan may not be adjusted by more than 5% without approval from Owner.
Manager shall

 

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provide Owner with a revised Resort Operating Plan on (i) a monthly basis during
the first twelve (12) months of the Term, and (ii) a quarterly basis thereafter.
Owner acknowledges that the Resort Operating Plan is intended only to be a
reasonable estimate of the Resort’s revenues and expenses for the ensuing Fiscal
Year. Manager shall not be deemed to have made any guarantee or covenant
concerning projected results contained in the Resort Operating Plan; provided,
however, Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Resort
in accordance with the Approved Resort Operating Plan and shall obtain Owner’s
prior approval for any expenditures in excess (on an annual basis) of the

(including Gross Revenues and Operating Expenses, statement of cash flow and
balance sheet) and any other information necessary to make the computations
required by this Agreement or which may be reasonably requested by Owner, all
for such Fiscal Year. For all purposes, including, without limitation, the

Owner. All such books and records shall constitute the property of Owner, and
Owner shall have the right at its expense (and not as an Operating Expense) to
inspect the books and records during normal business hours upon reasonable
advance notice to Manager, provided that Owner makes reasonable efforts to
minimize any interference with on-going business operations resulting from its
inspection of the books and records. Upon a Termination, Manager shall deliver

sources of cash derived in connection with the operation or financing of the
Resort shall be deposited by Manager in Resort bank accounts in Owner’s name in
a bank designated by Owner. All funds deposited in the Resort’s bank accounts
shall be the sole property of Owner.

 

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Withdrawals from the Resort’s bank accounts, including the bank account
containing the FF&E Reserve, shall be made only by signatories designated by
Manager or Owner. All checks written from the Resort’s bank accounts shall
require the signature of two (2) Authorized Signatories (as defined below). Any
check written in excess of $10,000 will require the signature of an Owner’s

features to reduce possibilities of fraud.

5.6 GAAP and the Uniform System. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, all of the books, records and accounts of the Resort
under this Agreement shall kept and maintained in accordance with GAAP, and, to

its services, a base fee in the amount of One Hundred Sixty Thousand and no/100
U.S. Dollars ($160,000) per month, prorated for any partial month (the “Base
Fee”); provided, however, such amount shall be reduced by Ten Thousand and
no/100 U.S. Dollars ($10,000) per month, if at Owner’s election, Manager

is no longer providing the Construction Services in connection with the Resort.
The Base Fee shall be payable on a monthly basis on the first day of each
calendar month during the Term. Manager may pay the Base Fee to itself from the
Resort’s bank accounts and/or from Gross Revenues in accordance with the
foregoing payment provisions.

6.2 Incentive Management Fee. In addition to the Base Fee, from and after
April 1, 2012, Owner will pay Manager the Incentive Management Fee in accordance
with this Section 6.2. Concurrently with the delivery of the Monthly Report for
the final month of each Term Quarter, Manager will calculate the Estimated
Quarterly Incentive Management Fee for such Term Quarter, and will promptly
deliver notice of such calculation to Owner. The Estimated Quarterly Incentive
Management Fee (or undisputed portion thereof, if Owner disputes such

Manager delivers such calculation to Owner. As soon as EBITDAM actually achieved

Reconciliation Amount, and will promptly deliver notice of such calculation to
Owner. If the Reconciliation Amount for a Term Year is a positive value, then
the Manager will receive the Reconciliation Amount within ten (10) calendar

Manager hereunder until such absolute value has been set off in full, unless
this Agreement has been terminated in which event such amounts shall be paid
over to Mortgagee.

6.3 Calculation of EBITDAM. Whenever a payment provided for under this Agreement
requires a calculation of EBITDAM for a particular period, then such calculation
will be made by Manager promptly upon unaudited financial statements for the
Resort operations and covering the applicable period becoming available to
Manager. If subsequent audited financial statements show that adjustments to
EBITDAM for the particular period should be made, then either Party may send
written notice of such fact to the other Party, and EBITDAM for the particular
period will be adjusted accordingly. From and after any termination or
expiration of this Agreement, Owner will deliver to Manager true and correct
copies of all audited financial statements for the Resort operations for all
periods covered by the Term promptly upon such audited financial statements
becoming available.

6.4 Disputed Calculations. If Owner, in good faith, disputes any calculation
provided by Manager pursuant to SECTION 6, then Owner will provide Manager with
written notice of such dispute within ten calendar days after Owner’s receipt of
such calculation, with such notice to provide Owner’s calculation of the
relevant amount in reasonable detail. The Parties will then promptly and in good
faith strive to expeditiously resolve such dispute; provided, however, that any
disputed calculations not so resolved within thirty (30) days after the date
that Owner has provided notice of the dispute may be submitted by either Party
to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 19.2.

6.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. Owner agrees that upon the presentation of
appropriate invoices, Owner will reimburse Manager for (i) reasonable out of

perform its duties hereunder, including without limitation, lodging, means and
rental cars, but specifically excluding any travel expenses incurred in
commuting to and from the Resort by any of the Warner Employees, (ii) reasonable
meal expenses incurred during any authorized travel in connection with
performing Manager’s duties hereunder, (iii) reasonable attorney fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the performance of Manager’s duties
hereunder (excluding any costs of the in-house legal counsel of Manager or
Manager’s parent company), (iv) other expenses as agreed by Owner from time to
time, and (v) any out of pocket fees, charges, or other expenses incurred by
Manager in connection with obtaining any Approvals, as well as any excise or
similar tax that may be imposed upon Manager with respect to the fulfillment of
its duties hereunder (provide, however, that in no event is the foregoing to be
interpreted as a requirement to reimburse Manager for amounts constituting
income tax of Manager) (collectively, “Reimbursable Expenses”). Any such
reimbursements shall be for the amount of the actual cost of the expense,
without premium or markup. Manager shall submit an invoice to Owner on a monthly
basis setting forth the Reimbursable Expenses incurred by Manager in connection
with Manager’s performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. With
respect to such Reimbursable Expenses, the invoice shall include an itemized
account of such expenses, together with reasonable and appropriate documentation
and receipts verifying the amounts of the expenses. Owner will pay the invoices
submitted by Manager within ten (10) calendar days of receipt by Owner.

pursuant to this Section 7.2.

7.3 Manager’s Obligations Subject to Sufficient Capital. In no event will the
Manager be responsible for providing operating capital for the operation of the
Resort, the Adjacent Property, or the Café Property. The Manager will not be
deemed to be in breach of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent
performance of such obligations is rendered commercially impracticable by the
unavailability of such operating capital. In no event will the Manager be
required to advance funds to or for the benefit of any Owner.

 

SECTION 8. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS; CASUALTY.

repairs and additions of FF&E as are reasonably necessary or consistent with the
foregoing. The cost of such Routine Capital Expenditures and FF&E repairs,
replacements and additions shall be funded from the FF&E Reserve or as otherwise
set forth in the Approved Resort Operating Plan. Manager shall have the right,
without Owner’s consent, to make Routine Capital Expenditures that are not
otherwise contemplated by the Approved Resort Operating Plan up to a maximum
expenditure of $25,000 if: (a) in Manager’s reasonable opinion, such
expenditures are necessary to prevent imminent criminal or civil liability or
penalty or imminent threat of injury or harm to Resort guests or employees or
property and must be effected on an emergency basis; and (b) Manager delivers
notice thereof to Owner within twenty-four (24) hours of making such
expenditure. Manager shall treat such expenditures under this Section 8.1 as
Operating Expenses.

8.2 FF&E Reserve; Capital Expenditures.

8.2.1 FF&E Reserve. For each Accounting Period, unless such reserve is funded by
deposits made by a servicer or other agent under a cash management agreement
required by a Mortgagee, Manager shall deposit out of Gross Revenues into a
separate Resort bank account as a reserve for replacement of FF&E and the cost
of Routine Capital Expenditures (the “FF&E Reserve”) in the amount of three and
one-half percent (3.5%) of Gross Revenues. At the end of each Fiscal Year, any
amounts remaining in the FF&E Reserve shall be carried

 

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

forward to the next Fiscal Year, and shall be in addition to the amount to be
reserved in the next Fiscal Year. Any interest earned on the FF&E Reserve shall
be added to the FF&E Reserve. All expenditures from the FF&E Reserve shall be
made in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

Expenditures as shall be required, in the course of the operation of the Resort,
to maintain, at a minimum, the Resort in compliance with any Legal Requirements
and to comply with the Approved Capital Plan and the Loan Agreement. The cost of
the Capital Expenditures shall be paid by Manager out of the FF&E Reserve or
provided by Owner from the Working Capital Reserve, in either event in
accordance with the Loan Agreement. The Manager shall have no right to incur
Capital Expenditures without Owner’s prior written consent except in accordance
with the Approved Capital Plan or subject to any limitations in the Loan
Agreement, to correct an emergency condition (which may include without
limitation, maintenance, replacements or repairs which require immediate action
to preserve and protect the Resort, assure its continued operation, and/or
protect the comfort, health, safety and/or welfare of the Resort’s guests or
Resort Employees). If Capital Expenditures are required by reason of any law,
ordinance, regulation or order of a competent Government Authority, Manager
shall promptly give Owner notice thereof, but only upon Owner’s prior written
approval (which approval may be granted or withheld in Owner’s reasonable
discretion) shall Manager be authorized to incur such expenditures or to contest
the law, ordinance, regulation or order requiring such expenditure (subject to
the immediately preceding sentence). Upon expiration or termination of this
Agreement, all remaining amounts in the FF&E Reserve shall be promptly remitted
to Owner by Manager.

8.3 Liens. Manager shall use its diligent efforts to prevent any liens from
being filed against the Resort which arise from any maintenance, repairs,
replacements, alterations, additions, improvements or restoration in or to the
Resort and to obtain the release of any liens which may be filed, utilizing
Resort funds available for payment therefor, unless Owner elect to contest any
such lien. To the extent that Manager becomes aware that any such liens have
been filed, Manager shall promptly notify Owner.

8.4 Ownership of Replacements, Etc. All maintenance, repairs, replacements,
alterations, additions, improvements and restoration made pursuant to this
SECTION 8 shall be the property of Owner both during the Term and after
Termination.

with Manager’s management of the Resort during the Term, Manager may use the
Resort names and any other logos, trademarks, trade names, emblems, insignias,
slogans, color schemes or distinguishing characteristics which belong to Owner
and relate only to the Resort, but only for the purposes set forth in this

disclaims any right or interest in or to the Marks or the Resort Intellectual
Property. Manager disclaims any ownership interest in or to the Guest Records or
any other databases or lists of customers of the Resort or Owner. Manager
covenants that in the event of termination, cancellation or expiration of this
Agreement, whether as a result of a default by Owner or otherwise, Manager shall
not hold itself out as the manager of the Resort, the Adjacent Property or the
Café Property, nor will it utilize any Marks or any Resort Intellectual Property
or any variant thereof in the name or operation of any property.

9.4 Manager Intellectual Property. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Manager
owns all right, title and interest in the Manager Intellectual Property and
disclaims any right, title or interest thereto. The Parties acknowledge and
agree that in order for Manager to use the Manager Intellectual Property in
connection with Manager’s provision of services under the terms of this
Agreement, Manager will require access to certain operating and financial data
of the Resort on a daily basis. In connection with the foregoing, Owner agrees
to make such data available to Manager as Manager may reasonably request,
subject to all terms and provisions of Section 21.15.

 

SECTION 10. POSSESSION AND USE OF HOTEL.

10.1 Use. Manager shall use the Resort solely for the operation of a resort in
the manner described in this Agreement.

10.2 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Subject to having sufficient funds
therefor in the Resort bank accounts, Manager shall comply with any and all
Governmental Permits and Legal Requirements applicable to the Resort, including,
but not limited to, all Environmental Laws, laws relating to employees, and
recorded restrictions affecting the Resort.

10.3 Owner’s Right to Inspect. Owner and Mortgagee shall have the right to
inspect the Resort and examine the books and records of Manager pertaining to
the Resort (including, the Gaming Operations and the Liquor Operations) at all
reasonable times during the Term upon reasonable advance notice to Manager.

10.4 Hazardous Materials.

10.4.1 Removal and Remediation. In the event of the discovery of Hazardous

used, generated, released, stored or disposed of on, under or about, or
transported from, the Resort, other than in full compliance with Environmental
Laws. Owner may approve such use subject to reasonable conditions to protect the
Resort and Owner’s interests. Manager shall use diligent efforts to comply with,
and maintain the Resort in compliance with, Environmental Laws.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.5 Access; EDR. Owner covenants that, during the Term (and for any Transition
Period), Manager shall have complete peaceable access to and presence in the
Resort in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, free from molestation,
eviction and disturbance by Owner or by any other person or entity. In
connection with the foregoing, Owner will provide office space in the Resort for
the Warner Employees performing duties on behalf of Manager pursuant to this
Agreement. Further, Owner agrees that such Warner Employees, while on duty on
behalf of Manager pursuant to this Agreement, may have access to the Resort’s
employee dining room on the same terms that such facility is made available to
other Resort Employees.

to each such Section) shall pay all premiums for each policy of insurance

Party, as such other Party may request from time to time prior to the renewal
date for each insurance policy, signed certificates of insurance, including

Section 11.1(a) and Section 11.2(a). The Covering Party insurances set out in
Section 11.1 and Section 11.2 shall be primary and the other Party’s insurance

SECTION 12. INDEMNITY; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

12.1 Indemnification of Owner. To the fullest extent permitted by Legal
Requirements Manager shall indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend Owner,
its Affiliates, and all of their respective officers, directors, shareholders,
members, employees, agents, successors and assigns (including without limitation
any Mortgagee) from and against any claims, liabilities, liens, suits,
judgments, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the Gross Negligence, Fraud or Willful
Misconduct of Manager. Manager’s obligations pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall
survive Termination.

12.2 Indemnification of Manager. To the fullest extent permitted by Legal
Requirements, Owner shall indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend Manager,
its Affiliates, and all of their respective officers, directors, shareholders,
members, employees, agents,

 

36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

successors and assigns harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, liens,
suits, judgments, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or connected with the Resort, the
management of the Resort by Manager, or the performance or exercise of any of
the duties, obligations, powers or authorities herein or pursuant to the Liquor
Management Agreement, the Gaming Management Agreement or the IP License or
hereafter granted to Manager by Owner; provided, however, that Owner shall have
no obligation to indemnify Manager for those matters for which Manager is
obligated to indemnify Owner pursuant to Section 12.1 above. Owner’s obligations
pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall survive Termination. For avoidance of doubt,
“Resort” as used in this Section 12.2 includes the Adjacent Property and the
Café Property.

12.3 Indemnification Procedure. Any indemnified party shall be entitled, upon
written notice to the indemnifying party, to the timely appointment of counsel
by the indemnifying party for the defense of any claim, which counsel shall be
subject to the approval of the indemnified party. If, in the indemnified party’s
judgment, a conflict of interest exists between the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party at any time during the defense of the indemnified party, the
indemnified party may appoint independent counsel of its choice for the defense
of the indemnified party as to such claim. Additionally, regardless of whether
the indemnified party is appointed counsel or selects independent counsel
(i) the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense of
any claim and approve any proposed settlement of such claim, and (ii) all costs,
expenses and attorneys’ fees of the indemnified party shall be borne by the
indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party fails to timely pay such costs,
expenses and attorneys’ fees, the indemnified party may, but shall not be
obligated to, pay such amounts and be reimbursed by the indemnifying party for
the same, which amounts shall bear interest at the rate provided for in
Section 16.3.3 until paid in full. The Parties hereby acknowledge that it shall
not be a defense to a demand for indemnity that less than all claims asserted
against the indemnified party are subject to indemnification. If a claim is
covered by the indemnifying party’s liability insurance, the indemnified party,
subject to a standard of commercial reasonableness, shall not take or omit to
take any action that would cause the insurer not to defend such claim or to
disclaim liability in respect thereof.

12.4 Insurance Coverage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
SECTION 12, the Parties shall first tender to the insurer under the respective
insurance policies covering any third-party claim. If such insurance policies
are subject to a deductible or self-insured retention, the indemnified party may
request indemnification up to the amount of the deductible or self-insurance
retention. If the insurance company denies coverage or reserves rights as to
coverage, then the indemnified parties shall have the right to indemnification
in accordance with this SECTION 12. The provisions of this Section 12.4 shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

12.5 Limitation of Liability. NO PARTY HERETO SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY
HERETO FOR ANY PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES
except to the extent that any of the foregoing described damages are claimed
against a Party or its indemnitee parties by a third party, and such Party is
entitled to indemnification from the other Party hereto pursuant to this SECTION
12 with respect to such third-party claim.

 

37

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 13. HOTEL EMPLOYEES.

13.1 Hiring and Compensation of Employees. All Resort Employees (including the
Chief Operating Officer) shall at all times be the employees of the Resort Owner
or its Affiliate, and in no event shall they be deemed to be employees of
Manager, except with respect to those Resort Employees that Manager expressly
agrees in writing will be employed by Manager. Subject to the Approved Resort
Operating Plan, Manager shall have discretion to hire, promote, supervise,
direct, train and terminate all Resort Employees; to determine their
compensation; and, generally, to establish and maintain all policies relating to
employment. Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts and exercise
reasonable care to select qualified, competent and trustworthy Resort Employees.
No individual whose prior activities, criminal record, if any, or reputation,
habits and associations are known to pose a threat to the public interest, the
effective regulation of Gaming, or to the gaming licenses of the Manager or the
Owner or any of their Affiliates, including LVHR, or to create or enhance the
dangers of unsuitable, unfair or illegal practices and methods and activities in
the conduct of Gaming, shall knowingly be employed by the Manager or the Resort
Owner. Without limitation of the foregoing, no person that has been found
unsuitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities or that has not received a license
or employee registration as required by the Gaming Act may be a gaming employee.
Any costs associated with obtaining background investigations of employees and
prospective employees shall constitute an Operating Expense. Owner shall have
the right to interview and approve the individuals selected by Manager as the
Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other positions having
a title of “President” or “Vice President” prior to their appointment
(collectively, the “Executive Staff”). Prior to appointing any member of the
Executive Staff, Manager shall provide Owner with a written summary of such
individual’s professional experience and qualifications and shall offer Owner
the opportunity to interview the candidate at the Resort or another mutually
acceptable location. The removal or termination of any member of the Executive
Staff shall be subject to prior consultation with Owner.

13.2 Laws Relating to Employees. Manager shall maintain all personnel records
and payroll systems for Resort Employees and shall comply with all record
keeping and reporting requirements of all state and federal laws relating to
employees, including state and federal Form 941-A preparation, EEOC reporting,
worker’s compensation reporting, wage and hour compliance, Form W-4 and Form W-2
preparation, Form 1-9’s, occupational license taxes, wage administration,
personnel guidelines and processing, and employee fringe benefits reporting.
Manager shall comply with all other state and federal laws relating to
employees, including, without limitation, all laws relating to immigration,
naturalization and resident aliens and all laws relating to wage and hours, EEO,
NLRA, OSHA and ERISA.

13.3 Employees Residing at Resort. No employees shall reside at the Resort or
shall be permitted free accommodations at the Resort unless such residency and
any free accommodations are a clearly delineated item of an Approved Resort
Operating Plan or otherwise approved in writing in advance by Owner.

13.4 Employee Claims. The defense and resolution of all Employee Claims,
regardless of the entity against which Employee Claims are made, shall be
subject the limitations and restrictions set forth in Section 2.13.6. Either
Party shall promptly give notice to the other Party of any Employee Claim made
against such Party.

 

38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.5 Non-recruitment of Employees. Owner and Manager each covenant and agree
that, during the Term and for a period of one year after the expiration of or
any termination of this Agreement, neither it nor its Affiliates will directly
or indirectly employ, cause to be employed, solicit or recruit for engagement or
employment, or encourage to leave employment with the other Party, any employee
of the other Party or any of their Affiliates; provided that the foregoing shall
not be deemed to prohibit general advertisement or solicitations that are not
directed to such employees (but further provided that a Party’s employee may not
be employed or hired in contravention of this Section 13.5 if such employee
responds to any such permitted non-directed advertisement or solicitation), nor
shall anything in the foregoing apply to any employee of Owner, who, within
twelve (12) months prior to the commencement of employment with Owner, were
employed by Manager or any of its Affiliates. Owner and Manager acknowledge and
agree that the obligations set forth in this Section 13.5 are a direct
inducement for each Party to enter into this Agreement.

 

SECTION 14. MANAGER PERSONNEL.

14.1 Manager’s Executive Personnel. In connection with the services that Manager
is providing to Owner and the Resort hereunder, Manager (or an Affiliate
thereof) shall, at its cost and expense, be responsible for hiring, employing
and supervising the following personnel as employees of Manager (or an Affiliate
thereof): (i) a chief marketing officer, (ii) a Development Executive (as
hereinafter defined), and (iii) a food and beverage executive (collectively, the
“Key Executives”). Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Owner will
inform Manager of its desired qualifications of the Development Executive (which
may be communicated by electronic mail from Andrea Balkan to William W. Warner).
Manager will promptly notify Owner of any reasonable concerns Manager has with
respect to such qualifications as communicated to Manager, and the Parties will,
in good faith, strive to agree upon such qualifications as promptly as
practicable. Manager will have up to 120 days after agreement upon
qualifications to hire such Development Executive (notwithstanding the
September 15, 2012 deadline generally provided for the hiring of Key Executives
below in this Section 14.1). Upon hiring, the Key Executives shall be deemed to
be Warner Employees. Manager shall ensure that the Key Executives dedicate
sufficient time, attention, effort and resources to the management and operation
of the Resort. If Manager fails to hire all of the Key Executives on or before
September 15, 2012 or if, during the Term, any Key Executive departs or is
terminated and not replaced by Manager within 120 days from the date of
departure or termination, as applicable, then Owner shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement upon 10 days prior written notice to Manager, without
penalty and without payment of any fee to Manager (except for amounts payable in
accordance with Section 3.5). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, such 120-day period may be extended for one (1) additional period of
sixty (60) days if Manager has made an offer to a reasonably suitable
replacement candidate and such offer has not yet been accepted or rejected
within such 120-day period. Prior to hiring each of the Key Executives, Manager
shall provide Owner with such person’s name, summary of qualifications and list
of potential conflicts of interest with the Resort, and Owner shall have the
reasonable right to approve the persons hired as the Key Executives for purposes
of this Section 14.1; provided, however, if any person considered for employment
as a Key Executive has a conflict of interest with the Resort or is otherwise
involved in another venture or opportunity that is competitive with the Resort
(or any component thereof), then Owner shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to withhold its approval of such

 

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

person. Furthermore, if any Key Executive hired by Manager is later discovered
to have a conflict of interest with the Resort or otherwise becomes involved in
another venture or opportunity that is competitive with the Resort, then, upon
Owner’s request, Manager shall replace such person with another person approved
by Owner as provided herein to serve as the applicable Key Executive for
purposes of this Section 14.1. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Charly
Robinson (food and beverage executive), who is currently an employee of an
Affiliate of Manager, is, as of the Effective Date, a “Key Executive” for
purposes of this Section 14.1.

14.2 Background Investigations. Manager agrees that all of its managers, members
and key employees shall:

14.2.1 timely submit any and all necessary applications or registrations to the
Nevada Gaming Authorities as required by the Gaming Control Act;

14.2.2 consent to background investigations to be conducted by the Nevada Gaming
Authorities or any law enforcement authority to the extent required by the
Gaming Act or any Legal Requirements;

14.2.3 cooperate fully with such investigations; and

14.2.4 disclose any information requested by the Nevada Gaming Authorities or
the applicable law enforcement authority, which would facilitate the
investigation.

 

SECTION 15. CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION.

15.1 Damage and Condemnation. Subject to the rights of any Mortgagee, if the
Resort or any material portion thereof is condemned, destroyed or materially
damaged, Owner will determine whether or not to restore or replace the Resort to
a condition at least substantially comparable to that before the casualty or
condemnation occurred. Owner will notify Manager, within sixty (60) days after
the occurrence of the condemnation, destruction or material damage in question
of its election of whether or not to cause restoration/replacement to be
undertaken. If Owner does not notify Manager in writing within such period that
Owner has elected to restore or replace the Resort to a condition at least
substantially comparable to that before the casualty or condemnation occurred,
or if Owner does provide such notice within such period, but subsequently fails
to prosecute such restoration or replacement with reasonable diligence
continuously until completion, then Manager may terminate this Agreement ninety
(90) days following written notice to Owner and an opportunity to complete
restoration. To the extent that operation of the Resort is rendered impossible
or commercially impracticable by virtue of casualty or condemnation, then, for
so long as such operation is impossible or commercially impracticable, Manager’s
obligations to operate the Resort hereunder, will be suspended. Any such period
of suspension will not be deemed to have been part of the Term and the date of
expiration of the Term shall be extended by the number of days of such period.

15.2 Participation in Condemnation Award. In the event of any condemnation of
the Resort or any portion thereof, Manager shall not participate in any respect
in any part of the condemnation award that may be made. Nothing herein
contained, however, shall preclude Manager from asserting as against the
condemning authority its claim for injury or damages occasioned by such
condemnation to operation of the Resort under Applicable Laws, provided any such
claim does not diminish Owner’s condemnation award.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 16. TERMINATION.

16.1 Event of Default.

(a) Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this
Agreement:

(i) The failure of a party to make any monetary payment to the other required to
be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which failure is not
cured within ten (10) days after written notice from the non-defaulting party to
the defaulting party;

(ii) The failure of a party to perform any of its other material obligations
under this Agreement, which failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after
the defaulting party receives a written notice of default from the
non-defaulting party; provided, however, that if the failure cannot reasonably
be cured within thirty (30) days, such longer time as may be reasonably
necessary to cure such breach (but not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days)
provided the defaulting party is diligently pursuing such cure;

(iii) If any party applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver,
trustee or liquidator with respect to itself or of all of a substantial part of
its assets, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due,
makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, takes advantage of any
insolvency law, or files an answer admitting the material allegations of a
petition filed against such party in any bankruptcy, reorganization or judgment

from Owner, and (ii) the expiration of the administrative cure period, if any,
provided by the Governmental Authorities.

(iii) Manager shall fail to comply with the Gaming Act or any requirements of

(ii) $250,000 in the aggregate over any period of twelve consecutive months

either (1) the date expressly provided for in this Agreement; or (2) if not
specified in this Agreement, the date mutually agreed upon by the Parties, which
date shall in no event be sooner than ten (10) days, nor later than ninety
(90) days, after the delivery of such notice; provided, however, that such
period may be extended by Owner to allow for a Transition Period, as described

shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies at law
or in equity by reason of the occurrence of any such Event of Default, it being
understood and agreed that the exercise of the remedy of termination shall not
constitute an election of remedies and shall be without prejudice to any such
other rights or remedies otherwise available to the non-defaulting party.

 

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16.2 Termination at Will. Owner shall have the right, at any time during the

date on which such payment was due.

herein, in the event that any Owner is notified by any regulatory agency that
its continued association with Manager is likely to jeopardize the obtaining of
or retention of any license, permit or approvals pursued or held by Owner or any
of its Affiliates in any jurisdiction, then Owner will notify Manager in
writing, and Manager will have thirty (30) days from the date of such
notification to cure or otherwise address the suitability issue to Owner’s
reasonable satisfaction. If Manager fails to cure or otherwise address the
suitability issue to Owner’s reasonable satisfaction, then Owner may terminate
this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Manager.

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of any license, permit or approvals pursued or held by Manager or any of its
Affiliates in any jurisdiction, then Manager will notify Owner in writing, and
Owner will have thirty (30) days from the date of such notification to cure or
otherwise address the suitability issue to Manager’s reasonable satisfaction. If
Owner fails to cure or otherwise address the suitability issue to Manager’s
reasonable satisfaction, then Manager may terminate this Agreement immediately

SECTION 17. ASSIGNMENT.

Manager shall not assign this Agreement other than to an Affiliate without
Owner’s prior written approval, which may be withheld in Owner’s sole
discretion. Owner may not assign this Agreement, other than to Mortgagee or to
an Affiliate succeeding to ownership of the Resort, without Manager’s prior
written approval, which may be withheld in Manager’s sole discretion. Any
assignment which is not in compliance with this SECTION 17 shall be void and
shall constitute an Event of Default. If a non-assigning Party consents to an
assignment by the other Party of its interests hereunder, any subsequent
assignment shall require the express approval of the non-assigning Party. No
assignment by a Party hereto shall relieve such Party of, and such assigning
Party shall remain responsible for, all of its liabilities and obligations under
this Agreement. Manager hereby agrees to execute and deliver all agreements
reasonably requested by Mortgagee to affirm the right of Mortgagee to succeed to
Owner’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the right of Mortgagee
to further assign this Agreement to a successor or assign.

 

SECTION 18. FINANCING.

18.1 Mortgages. Without the consent of Manager, Owner may, subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this SECTION 18, from time to time, directly or
indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any lien upon its interest in the
Resort, or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether to secure any
borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing. Any and all such liens or
mortgages, deeds of trust or trust deeds encumbering Owner’s interest in the
Resort are hereafter collectively referred to herein, individually and
collectively, as the “Mortgage,” and the holders of such Mortgage, or of the
indebtedness secured thereby, are herein referred to as, individually and
collectively, the “Mortgagee.” Manager shall, upon request of Owner or any
Mortgagee, and to the extent in Manager’s possession, (i) provide Owner and/or
any Mortgagee with copies of all licenses, permits, occupancy agreements,
operating agreements, leases, contracts, notes, inspection reports, studies,
appraisals, assessments, default or other notices and similar materials
reasonably requested in connection with any existing or proposed financing of
the Resort, and (ii) execute such reasonable collateral assignments with respect
to the licenses and any of the other aforementioned agreements relating to the
Resort as Owner and/or such Mortgagee may reasonably request in connection with
any such financing, provided that no such collateral assignment shall modify the
terms of this Agreement.

18.2 Subordination. This Agreement, and any and all rights of Manager hereunder,
are and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to any Mortgage and the
other related Loan Documents, and all renewals, extensions, modifications,
consolidations and replacements thereof, and to each and every advance made or
hereafter to be made under any such Mortgage or other related Loan Documents.
This Section 18.2 shall be self-operative and no further

 

44

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

instrument of subordination shall be required. Notwithstanding and without
limiting the foregoing, in confirmation of such subordination, Manager shall
promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Owner, any
Mortgagee, or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably
request to evidence such subordination, and this Agreement shall be terminable
by a Successor Owner in connection with or following a Foreclosure Event
pursuant to the terms of such subordination instrument. Manager shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to any amendment to this Agreement reasonably
required by any Mortgagee, provided that such amendment does not (i) increase
Manager’s financial obligations hereunder, or (ii) have a material adverse
effect upon Manager’s rights hereunder, or (iii) materially increase Manager’s
non-economic obligations hereunder, or (iv) decrease Owner’s obligations
hereunder.

18.3 Cash Management Procedures. For any period during which cash management
procedures are implemented by or on behalf of any Mortgagee, Manager shall abide
by such procedures as directed in writing by the Mortgagee, including those
current cash management and lockbox procedures in place as of the Effective
Date. Furthermore, Manager agrees to direct all distributions into the lockbox
account in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

18.4 Successor Owner. Subject to the termination rights of any Mortgagee as
described in Section 18.2, in the event that any Mortgagee or the nominee or
designee of any Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Owner under this
Agreement (any such person, a “Successor Owner”), whether through possession or
Foreclosure Event or delivery of a new deed, or otherwise, at such Successor
Owner’s election, in its absolute discretion, such Successor Owner may elect to
recognize Manager’s rights under this Agreement as herein provided and, in such
event, Manager shall attorn to and recognize the Successor Owner as Owner under
this Agreement and Manager shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument
that such Successor Owner may reasonably request to evidence such attornment
(provided that such instrument does not alter the terms of this Agreement),
whereupon, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as a direct
Agreement between the Successor Owner and Manager upon all of the terms,
conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Agreement, except that the
Successor Owner shall not be (a) liable in any way to Manager for any act or
omission, neglect or default on the part of any prior Owner under this
Agreement, (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with any prior
Owner to the credit of Manager (except to the extent actually paid or delivered
to the Successor Owner), (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff which
theretofore accrued to Manager against any prior Owner, (d) bound by any
modification of this Agreement entered into subsequent to the execution of the
applicable Mortgage unless consented to by the applicable Mortgagee as required
under this Agreement, (e) liable to Manager beyond the Successor Owner’s
interest in the Resort and the income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits
issuing from the Resort, or (f) responsible for the performance of any work to
be done by Owner under this Agreement in connection with the Resort. Manager
agrees at any time and from time to time to execute a suitable instrument in
confirmation of Manager’s agreement to attorn, as aforesaid. The Successor Owner
shall not be required to pay the Sale Buy-Out Amount upon a foreclosure.

18.5 Notice to Mortgagee. No default notice from Manager to Owner under this
Agreement shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to any
Mortgagee(s). The curing of any Owner default by any Mortgagee(s) shall be
treated as performance by Owner, provided any such cure shall be made within the
time periods set forth herein. Any Mortgagee(s)

 

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall have the right but not the obligation to remedy any Owner default under
this Agreement, or to cause any default of Owner under this Agreement to be
remedied, and for such purpose Manager hereby grants any Mortgagee(s), in
addition to the period given to Owner for remedying defaults, an additional
thirty (30) days to remedy, or cause to be remedied, any such default. Manager
shall accept performance by any Mortgagee(s) of any term, covenant, condition or
agreement to be performed by Owner under this Agreement with the same force and
effect as though performed by Owner. No Owner default under this Agreement shall
exist or shall be deemed to exist (i) as long as any Mortgagee, in good faith,
shall have commenced to cure such default within the above-referenced time
period and shall be prosecuting the same to completion with reasonable
diligence, subject to Force Majeure, or (ii) if possession of the Resort is
required in order to cure such default, or if such default is not susceptible of
being cured by any Mortgagee, as long as any Mortgagee, in good faith, shall
have notified Manager that such Mortgagee intends to institute proceedings under
the Loan Documents, and, thereafter, as long as such proceedings shall have been
instituted and shall be prosecuted with reasonable diligence. Neither any
Mortgagee nor any Successor Owner shall become liable under this Agreement
unless and until such Mortgagee or such other Successor Owner becomes, and then
only with respect to periods in which such Mortgagee or such other Successor
Owner remains, the owner of the Resort. In no event shall any Mortgagee or any
other Successor Owner have any personal liability as successor to Owner, and
Manager shall look only to the estate and property of such Mortgagee or such
other Successor Owner in the Resort for the satisfaction of Manager’s remedies
for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the
payment of money in the event of any default by any Mortgagee or other Successor
Owner as Owner under this Agreement, and no other property or assets of any
Mortgagee or any other Successor Owner shall be subject to levy, execution or
other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Manager’s remedies with
respect to this Agreement. Any Mortgagee shall have the right, without Manager’s
consent, to foreclose its Mortgage either judicially or pursuant to the power of
sale or to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure of such Mortgage or to exercise
any other rights or remedies available under the Loan Documents and in
connection therewith terminate this Agreement.

18.6 Consent of Mortgagee(s). Neither Owner or Manager shall modify, amend or
supplement this Agreement, without, in each instance, the consent of any
Mortgagee(s), which consent may be granted or withheld in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Documents, and any attempted modification, amendment or
supplement without the consent of any Mortgagee(s) as provided herein shall be
void ab initio.

 

SECTION 19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

19.1 Consent to Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 19.2, each of the Parties:

objection based on forum non conveniens and any objection to venue with respect
to any action brought in the foregoing-described courts. Each Party shall have
the right to apply to a court of law to enjoin any breach of this Agreement to
the extent that monetary damages or other remedies at law would not be an
adequate remedy and injunctive or similar relief is necessary to prevent
irreparable damage or injury to the Party seeking such injunctive or similar
relief (including, without limitation, for any breach or anticipated or
threatened breach of

regarding the Resort Operating Plan, the amount of any payments or expenditures
to be made under this Agreement or any other similar disputes regarding the

otherwise, shall be resolved by binding, self administered arbitration pursuant
to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”), and all such proceedings shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration
Act. There shall be three arbitrators. Each party shall designate an arbitrator
within 30 days of the notification of a party’s intent to proceed with
arbitration. The two arbitrators so designated shall elect a third arbitrator,
who shall be neutral, and shall be a person who has at least eight years
professional experience in the casino gaming industry and who has not previously
been employed by either Party and does not have a direct or indirect interest in
either Party or the subject matter of the arbitration. If either Party fails to
designate an arbitrator within the time specified or the two Parties’
arbitrators fail to designate a third arbitrator within 30 days of their
appointment, the remaining arbitrator(s) shall be appointed by the AAA. Each
Party shall pay for the expenses incurred by its designated arbitrator and the
costs of the third, neutral arbitrator shall be divided between the Parties.
Only damages allowed pursuant to this agreement may be awarded and, without
limitation of the foregoing, the arbitrators shall have no authority to award
damages contravening in any way the limitation of liability agreed to by the
Parties in Section 12.5. The arbitration panel shall apply the laws of the state
of Nevada. The arbitration shall take place in Las Vegas, Nevada. ALL
PROCEEDINGS, AWARDS AND DECISIONS UNDER ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING SHALL
BE STRICTLY PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL AND THE ARBITRATORS SHALL EXECUTE
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS ACKNOWLEDGING AND AGREEING TO THE SAME.

19.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION (AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT) AND
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE OTHER PARTY’S
ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

19.4 Remedies Not Exclusive. Subject in all respects to the limitation of
liability agreed to by the Parties in Section 12.5, the remedies provided in
this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

19.5 Survival and Severance. The provisions of this SECTION 19 are intended to
be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and to survive and not
be merged into any Termination of this Agreement or any judgment entered in
connection with any dispute, regardless of whether such dispute arises before or
after Termination of the Agreement, and regardless of whether the related
arbitration or litigation proceedings occur before or after

 

47

disclose any Confidential Information, the Recipient shall promptly notify the

contest, limit or protect the confidentiality of any such requested or required
disclosure.

obligations (other than the payment of money) shall be adjusted to the extent

this Agreement). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the affected

the extent known to such party) and a description of the condition delaying the

Affiliates or any Mortgagee for payment of any amount payable under this
