AIRCRAFT TIME SHARING AGREEMENT

(Part 91 Operations)




     This Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement (the “Agreement”) is dated as of November 6,
2009 and effective as of January 1, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Interface
Operations, LLC, a Nevada company (“Provider”), and Las Vegas Sands Corp., a Nevada corporation
(“Recipient”) (together, “Parties”).



     In consideration of the mutual promises, agreements, covenants, warranties, representations
and provisions contained herein, the parties agree as follows:



     1. Time Sharing of the Aircraft. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Provider shall provide Recipient with transportation services on a non-exclusive basis
using Provider’s aircraft listed on Schedule A hereto (each individual plane, an “Aircraft”). This
Agreement is intended to be a time sharing agreement within the meaning of 14 C.F.R. Section
91.501(c)(1).



     2. Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on January 1, 2009
and end on December 31, 2009 (the “Expiration Date”). The Expiration Date (as it may be extended)
shall be automatically extended by one year if neither party has given notice of non-renewal to the
other at least thirty (30) days before the then Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this section 2, either party may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days’ notice,
provided that such party is not then in default.



     3. Delivery to Recipient. Upon the request of Recipient, subject to the availability
of the Aircraft as determined by Provider, Provider shall make the Aircraft available to Recipient
at such location as Recipient may reasonably request. Recipient acknowledges that Provider
currently bases the Aircraft at McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada (the “Base”).



     4. Fee.


          (a) Recipient shall pay Provider, within 30 days of receipt of an invoice from Provider or its
representative for Recipient’s use of the Aircraft during the Term, an amount not to exceed the
costs identified in this paragraph (a) or such lesser amount as may be agreed in writing by the
Parties (referred to collectively as the “Fee”):



               (i) twice the cost of the fuel, oil and other additives consumed;



               (ii) all fees, including fees for landing, parking, hangar, tie-down, handling, customs, use
of airways and permission for overflight;



               (iii) all expenses for catering and in-flight entertainment materials;



               (iv) all expenses for flight planning and weather contract services;



               (v) all travel expenses for pilots, flight attendants and other flight support personnel,
including food, lodging and ground transportation; and



-2-









 





               (vi) all communications charges, including in-flight telephone.


          (b) Recipient shall be responsible for arranging and paying for all passenger ground
transportation and accommodation in connection with Recipient’s use of the Aircraft.


          (c) For the sake of clarification, flights to ferry the Aircraft to the delivery location
specified by Recipient pursuant to section 3, and flights to return the Aircraft to the Base or
such other location as the parties agree pursuant to section 5, shall be deemed to be use of the
Aircraft by Recipient.



     5. Return to Base. On the earlier of the Expiration Date or the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to section 17(a)(i) and, unless Provider agrees to the contrary, upon the
conclusion of each flight of the Aircraft by Recipient under this Agreement, the Aircraft shall be
returned to the Base or such other location as Provider and Recipient may agree.



     6. Use of Aircraft.


          (a) Recipient shall use the Aircraft only for the transportation of its directors, officers,
employees and guests and shall not obtain compensation for such transportation from any person.


          (b) Recipient shall not violate, and shall not permit any of its employees, agents or guests
to violate, any applicable law, regulation or rule of the United States, or any state, territory or
local authority thereof, or any foreign government or subdivision thereof, and shall not bring or
cause to be brought or carried on board the Aircraft, or permit any employee, agent or guest to
bring or cause to be brought or carried on board the Aircraft, any contraband or unlawful articles
or substances, or anything that is contraband or is an unlawful article of substance in any
jurisdiction into or over which the Aircraft is to operate on behalf of Recipient.


          (c) Recipient shall, and shall cause its employees, agents and guests to, comply with all
lawful instructions and procedures of Provider and its agents and employees regarding the Aircraft,
its operation or flight safety.


          (d) Recipient acknowledges that its discretion in determining the origin and destination of
flights under this Agreement shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) such origin and
destination, and the routes to reach such origin and destination, are not within or over (A) an
area of hostilities, (B) an area excluded from coverage under the insurance policies maintained by
Provider with respect to the Aircraft or (C) a country or jurisdiction for which exports or
transactions are subject to specific restrictions under any United States export or other law or
United Nations Security Council Directive, including without limitation, the Trading With the Enemy
Act, 50 U.S.C. App. Section 1 et seq., the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C.
Sections 1701 et seq. and the Export Administration Act, 50 U.S.C. App. Sections 2401 et seq.; (ii)
the flights proposed by Recipient shall not cause (A) the Aircraft or any part thereof (1) to be
used predominately outside of the United States within the meaning of the Section 168(g)(1)(A) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (2) to fail to be operated to and
from the United States within the meaning of Section 168(g)(4)(A) of the Code; or (B) any item of
income, gain, deduction, loss or credit with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement to be treated as derived from, or allocable to,





-3-









 








sources without the United States within the meaning of Section 862 of the Code; (iii) the
proposed flights do not require the flight crew to exceed any flight or duty time limitations that
Provider imposes upon its flight crews; and (iv) in the judgment of Provider, the safety of flight
is not jeopardized.



          (e) Recipient acknowledges that, if, in the view of Provider (including, its
pilot-in-command), flight safety may be jeopardized, Provider may terminate a flight or refuse to
commence it without liability for loss, injury or damage occasioned by such termination or refusal.
Recipient further acknowledges that, in accordance with applicable Federal Aviation Regulations
(“FAR”), the qualified flight crew provided by Provider will exercise all of its duties and
responsibilities in regard to the safety of each flight conducted hereunder and Recipient
specifically agrees that the flight crew, in its sole discretion, may terminate any flight, refuse
to commence any flight, or take other action which in the considered judgment of the
pilot-in-command is necessitated by considerations of safety. No such action of the
pilot-in-command shall create or support any liability for loss, injury, damage or delay to
Recipient or any other person. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that Provider shall not be liable
under any circumstances for delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft and crew pursuant to this
Agreement or for any loss, damage, cost or expense arising from or related to, directly or
indirectly, any delay, cancellation or failure to furnish any transportation pursuant to this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, when caused by government regulation, law or authority,
mechanical difficulty or breakdown, war, civil commotion, strikes or other labor disputes, weather
conditions, acts of God, public enemies or any other cause beyond Provider’s control.


          (f) Recipient acknowledges that (i) the Aircraft is owned by Provider and (ii) the rights of
Recipient in and to the Aircraft are subject and subordinate to all rights of Provider in and to
the Aircraft, including without limitation the right of Provider to inspect and take possession of
the Aircraft from time to time in accordance applicable law.


     Accordingly, Recipient (i) waives any right that it might have to any notice of Provider’s
intention to inspect, take possession or exercise any other right or remedy in respect of the
Aircraft.


          (g) THE AIRCRAFT IS BEING PROVIDED BY THE PROVIDER TO THE RECIPIENT HEREUNDER ON A COMPLETELY
“AS IS, WHERE IS,” BASIS, WHICH IS ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO BY THE RECIPIENT. THE WARRANTIES AND
REPRESENTATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS
OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND PROVIDER HAS NOT MADE AND SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED

WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE TITLE, AIRWORTHINESS, VALUE, CONDITION, DESIGN,

ANY PART THEREOF. RECIPIENT HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES, DISCLAIMS AND RENOUNCES ALL EXPECTATION OF OR
RELIANCE UPON ANY SUCH AND OTHER WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF PROVIDER AND RIGHTS,
CLAIMS AND REMEDIES OF RECIPIENT AGAINST PROVIDER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW OR

     7. Pilots. For all flights of the Aircraft by Recipient pursuant to this Agreement,
Provider shall cause the Aircraft to be operated by pilots who are duly qualified under the Federal
Aviation Regulations, including without limitation, with respect to currency and type-rating, and
who meet all other requirements established and specified by the insurance policies required
hereunder.



     8. Operation and Maintenance Responsibilities of Provider. Provider shall be in
operational control of the Aircraft at all times during the Term and shall operate the Aircraft
under FAR Part 91. Provider shall be solely responsible for the operation and maintenance of the
Aircraft.



     9. Liens. Recipient shall not directly or indirectly create or incur any liens on or
with respect to (i) the Aircraft or any part thereof, (ii) Provider’s title thereto, (iii) any
interest of Provider therein, (and Recipient will promptly, at its own expense, take such action as
may be necessary to discharge any such lien), except (a) the respective rights of Provider and
Recipient as herein provided and (b) liens created by or caused to be created by Provider.



     10. Taxes.


          (a) Except for any taxes on, or measured by, the net income of Provider imposed by the United
States government or any state or local government or taxing authority in





-5-









 








the United States, which shall be the sole responsibility of Provider, Recipient shall pay to
and indemnify Provider and its employees and agents (each, an “Indemnity”) for, and hold each
Indemnity harmless from and against, on an after-tax basis, all other income, personal property, ad
valorem, franchise, gross receipts, rental, sales, use, excise, value-added, leasing, leasing use,
stamp, landing, airport use, or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees or withholdings
of any nature, together with any penalties, fines, or interest thereon (“Taxes”) arising out of the
transactions between Provider and Recipient contemplated by this Agreement or Recipient’s use of
the Aircraft and imposed against any Indemnity, Recipient, or the Aircraft, or any part thereof, by
any federal or foreign government, any state, municipal or local subdivision, any agency or
instrumentality thereof, or other taxing authority upon or with respect to the Aircraft, or any
part thereof, or upon the ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, use, operation, return,
transfer or release thereof, or upon the rentals, receipts or earnings arising there from.
Recipient shall have the right to contest any Taxes attributable to Recipient; provided that (a)
Recipient shall have given to Provider written notice of any such Taxes, which notice shall state
that such Taxes are being contested by Recipient in good faith with due diligence and by
appropriate proceedings and that Recipient has agreed to indemnify each Indemnity against any cost,
expense, liability or loss (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees) arising from
or in connection with such contest; (b) in Provider’s sole judgment, Provider has received adequate
assurances of payment of such contested Taxes; and (c) counsel for Provider shall have determined
that the nonpayment of any such Taxes or the contest of any such payment in such proceedings does
not, in the sole opinion of such counsel, adversely affect the title, property or rights of
Provider. In case any report or return is required to be made with respect to any Taxes
attributable to Recipient’s use of the Aircraft, Recipient will either (after notice to Provider)
make such report or return in such manner as will show the ownership of the Aircraft in Provider
and send a copy of such report or return to Provider, or will notify Provider of such requirement
and make such report or return in such manner as shall be satisfactory to Provider. Provider
agrees to cooperate fully with Recipient in the preparation of any such report or return.



          (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Recipient shall pay to Provider any
federal excise taxes applicable to Recipient’s use, or Recipient’s payment for Recipient’s use, of
the Aircraft.



     11. Insurance. Provider shall maintain in effect at its own expense throughout the
Term, insurance policies containing such provisions and providing such coverages as Provider deems
appropriate. All insurance policies shall (a) name Recipient as an additional insured, (b) not be
subject to any offset by any other insurance carried by Provider or Recipient, (c) contain a waiver
by the insurer of any subrogation rights against any of Recipient, (d) insure the interest of
Recipient, regardless of any breach or violation by the Provider or of any other person (other than
is solely attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Recipient) of any warranty,
declaration or condition contained in such policies, and (e) include a severability of interests
endorsement providing that such policy shall operate in the same manner (except for the limits of
coverage) as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.



     12. Loss or Damage


          (a) Recipient shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider and its officers, directors,
agents, shareholders, members, managers and employees from and against





-6-









 








any and all liabilities, claims (including, without limitation, claims involving or alleging
Provider’s negligence and claims involving strict or absolute liability in tort), demands, suits,
causes of action, losses, penalties, fines, expenses (including, without limitation, attorney fees)
or damages (collectively, “Claims”), whether or not Provider may also be indemnified as to any such
Claim by any other person, to the extent relating to or arising out of Recipient’s breach of this
Agreement or any damage (other than ordinary wear and tear) to any of the Aircraft caused by
Recipient, its employees or guests, including any Event of Default of this Agreement or the Cape
Town Convention or Aircraft Protocol provisions to the extent applicable to this Agreement.



          (b) In the event of loss, theft, confiscation, damage to or destruction of any of the Aircraft
subject to this Agreement, or any engine or part thereof, from any cause whatsoever (a “Casualty
Occurrence”) occurring at any time when Recipient is using any such Aircraft, Recipient shall
furnish such information and execute such documents as may be necessary or required by Provider or
applicable law. Recipient shall cooperate fully in any investigation of any claim or loss
processed by Provider under the Aircraft insurance policy/policies and in seeking to compel the
relevant insurance company or companies to pay any such claims.


          (c) In the event of total loss or destruction of all or substantially all of any Aircraft
subject to this Agreement, or damage to such Aircraft that causes it to be irreparable in the
opinion of Provider or any insurance carrier providing hull coverage with respect to such Aircraft,
or in the event of confiscation or seizure of any such Aircraft, this Agreement shall automatically
terminate; provided, however, that such termination of this Agreement shall not terminate the
obligation of Recipient to cooperate with Provider in seeking to compel the relevant insurance
company or companies to pay claims arising from such loss, destruction, damage, confiscation or
seizure; provided, further, that the termination of this Agreement shall not affect the obligation
of Recipient to pay Provider all accrued and unpaid Fee and all other accrued and unpaid amounts
due hereunder.


          (d) For the sake of clarification, if an Aircraft suffers a Casualty Occurrence, it shall be
deemed not available to Recipient until such time thereafter as Provider has returned the Aircraft
to service. Provider shall have no obligation to return an Aircraft to service after any Casualty
Occurrence.

          (a) For purposes of the Agreement: (i) “Aircraft Objects” means each airframe, aircraft

shall govern the rights and remedies of Provider upon a material breach or default hereunder by
Recipient.


          (d) Provider and Recipient agree to take such further and other actions, execute and deliver
