 2.2.2 Operation of Casino or Gambling Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Operator shall
not operate, administer or otherwise supervise any casino, legal gaming or gambling operations on the Premises that are subject to any Gaming Laws pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall in no way prevent Operator
from employing (and performing functions relating to the employment of) Business Personnel assigned to staff the Casino pursuant to one or more agreements between Operator, Owner, and the operator of the Casino (such agreements, collectively, the
“Employee Lease Agreement”). Operator expressly acknowledges that operator of the Casino has been authorized to conduct such gambling operations pursuant to that certain Casino License Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the

the gambling operations. Owner may replace the Casino License Agreement or the operator of the Casino pursuant to the terms of any such agreement and without consent of Operator. Upon receiving notice of such successor operator of the Casino,

 6 








 2.2.3 Affiliate Agreements. In performing its obligations under this Agreement, Operator
from time to time may use the services of one or more of its Affiliates (an “Affiliate Agreement”), provided, however, Operator shall fully disclose such affiliation to or interest in such transaction to Owner and Operator shall obtain the
prior written approval of Owner for any Affiliate Agreement involving payment of more than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) per year other than Affiliate Agreements relating to Centralized Services entered into pursuant to, and subject to, the terms
of Section 4.1 hereof. 
 2.3 Other Operations of Operator. 

2.3.1 Operation of Other Operator Facilities. Owner acknowledges that in certain respects all hotels, food and beverage and retail
facilities compete on a national, regional and local basis with other hotels, food and beverage and retail facilities and that conflicts may from time to time arise between the Business and other hotels, food and beverage and retail facilities and
other facilities that are owned, operated, franchised or licensed by Operator or its Affiliates. Accordingly, Owner consents to the ownership, operation, franchise or license by Operator or its Affiliates of all hotels, food and beverage and retail
facilities and other facilities of any type, whenever existing and wherever located; provided, however, that Operator acknowledges that, for so long as Stockbridge/SBE Holdings, LLC is the “Owner” hereunder, Operator and its
Affiliates are subject to the restrictions applicable to SBE Las Vegas Holdings I, LLC and its Affiliates pursuant to Intermediateco’s LLC Agreement with respect to Operating or Controlling a business or other operation within Clark County,
Nevada. 
 2.3.2 Promotional Rights. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Operator shall have the right from time to time, at Operator’s expense,
to market and/or promote the current and, subject to Owner’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), future business of Operator or any of its Affiliates (each, an “Operator Partner”) at the
Business (the “Promotional Program”); provided that the Promotional Program is of a type and scope that is consistent with prevailing practices of Operator and its Affiliates as of the Effective Date and the Operating Standard, and
that Hyde Bellagio and Double Barrel Roadhouse may not be included in the Promotional Program, except to the extent Hyde Bellagio or Double Barrel Roadhouse is included on a group or general basis, such as (for purposes of illustration but not
limitation) on Operator or its Affiliates’ websites or as part of Operator or its Affiliates’ “preferred” programs; provided, however, that in no event shall Operator promote Hyde Bellagio or Double Barrel Roadhouse on the
Business’s website. If Operator or an Operator Partner is permitted under the terms of Intermediateco’s LLC Agreement to enter into other businesses in Clark County, Nevada that are not a part of the Business, Owner’s approval of
inclusion of such businesses in the Promotional Program shall be at its sole discretion. The current businesses of Operator and the Operator Partners to be included in the Promotional Program as of the Effective Date are as follows: (i) SLS
Hotel South Beach; (ii) SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills; (iii) Katsuya (Brentwood, Downtown Los Angeles, Glendale, South Beach, and Hollywood, California); (iv) The Abbey, Food and Bar (West Hollywood, California);

personnel at the Business for the Promotional Program as reasonably required for the Promotional Program. If any Promotional Program requires more than a de minimis use of space, facilities, utilities, equipment, printed materials or
personnel, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on an arm’s length compensation to Owner for such use (the “Promotional Charges”). For example, Owner acknowledges and agrees that the Promotional Program will include
identification of “SBE” and Operator Partners in: (x) signage, menus and other printed materials at the Business; (y) print, broadcast and internet media relating to the Business; and (z) the website of the Business. 

(b) In furtherance of Operator’s rights under Section 2.3.2(a), Owner shall not market, promote and/or sell, or enter into any
agreement or other arrangement to market, promote and/or sell, any products or services at the Business that, in Operator’s reasonable judgment, would be inconsistent with the Operating Standard; provided however that notwithstanding the
foregoing, Owner shall have the right from time to time, at Owner’s expense, to market and/or promote at the Business in a type and scope that is consistent with the Operating Standard (i) the current and future gaming and hotel businesses
of Owner or any of its Affiliates and (ii) current and future residential projects of Owner which are consistent with the Operating Standard. If Owner has entered into any agreement or other legally binding arrangement to provide any such
prohibited marketing or promotion prior to the time that Operator has provided Owner with notice of the Promotional Program, then Operator shall have the right to require Owner to terminate such agreement or other arrangement at the earliest time at
which it can be terminated without cost or penalty. Operator also shall have the right to require such termination at a time that would result in a cost or penalty; provided, however, that if such pre-existing agreement or arrangement is for a term
of (i) no longer than one year and was previously approved in writing by Operator, then Operator shall reimburse Owner for any costs or penalties (if any) to the Person providing such products or services as a result of such termination, or
(ii) longer than one year and was not previously approved in writing by Operator, then Owner shall be responsible for all costs or penalties required to be paid to the Person providing such products or services as a result of such termination.

 (c) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Owner acknowledges that (i) Owner shall have no right to any revenues
or other amounts derived from, or otherwise participate in, the Promotional Program, except for the Promotional Charges if applicable, and (ii) Owner shall not acquire any other right, title or interest in the Promotional Program, the brands
and business based thereon, or the goodwill associated therewith. 
 2.4 Term. This Agreement shall commence as of the
Effective Date and shall continue until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Opening Date or until terminated (a) by mutual written consent of the Parties or (b) in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.

 ARTICLE 3 

FEES AND EXPENSES 

3.1 Base Fee. For the services to be provided by Operator under this Agreement, Owner shall pay to Operator a base fee (the
“Base Fee”) monthly in arrears based on 2% of the Total Net Revenues derived from the immediately preceding month. The Base Fee shall be set forth in the Operating Reports required under Section 10.2. Within 30 days of Owner’s
receipt of the Operating Reports, Operator shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Owner a reconciliation statement showing the calculation and payment of the Base Fee for such Operating Year to date, and appropriate adjustments shall be made
for any overpayment or underpayment of the Base Fee during such Operating Year. The Party owing money as a result of such adjustment shall pay such amount to the other Party within 15 days after such reconciliation statement has been delivered by
Operator to Owner. 
 3.2 Incentive Fee. Operator shall have the ability to earn, annually in arrears, an incentive fee
(the “Incentive Fee”) as set forth in this Section 3.2. If the GOP for the * * * ending * * * is greater than or equal to the * * *, then Owner shall pay to Operator an Incentive Fee in an amount equal to * * *% of the * * *. If
the GOP for the * * * ending * * * is greater than or equal to the * * *, then Owner shall pay to Operator an Incentive Fee in an amount equal to * * *% of the * * *. If the GOP for any * * * ending after * * * is greater than or equal to the * * *
for * * *, then Owner shall pay to Operator an Incentive Fee equal to * * * percent (* * *%) of * * *. * * *. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, funds required to pay any Incentive Fee shall only be permitted to be withdrawn
from the Operating Account and not the Reserve Fund (except in the case of a termination of the Agreement, in which case any accrued but unpaid Incentive Fees may be paid out of any of the Bank Accounts in accordance with Section 16.7.2) and
shall not be includable in a Funds Request, and Owner’s failure to pay the Incentive Fee due to a lack of sufficient funds shall not be an Event of Default nor be a reason for the Operator to be relieved from its obligations to operate the
Business in compliance with the Operating Standards and in accordance with this Agreement. The Incentive Fee shall be set forth in the Certified Financial Statements for any Operating Year. Operator shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Owner
a reconciliation statement showing the calculation and payment of the Incentive Fee for such Operating Year. 
 3.3 Centralized
Services Charges. Owner shall pay any Centralized Services Charges monthly in arrears for all Centralized Services provided to the Business for the immediately preceding month pursuant to Article 4. Operator shall apply such Centralized
Services Charges to the applicable Centralized Services. All Centralized Services Charges shall be set forth in the Operating Reports required under Section 10.2. 

3.4 Intentionally Omitted. 

3.5 Reimbursable Expenses. Owner shall reimburse Operator for all Reimbursable Expenses incurred by Operator. All Reimbursable
Expenses shall be set forth in the Operating Reports required under Section 10.2. 

  
 9 








 3.6 Interest. If any fee or other amount due by (i) Owner to Operator or an
Affiliate of Operator, or any designee thereof, or (ii) Operator to Owner or an Affiliate of Owner, or any designee thereof, under this Agreement is not paid within 14 days after such payment is due, then Owner shall pay, in addition to the
amount due, interest equal to the lesser of (a) the daily equivalent of * * *% of such overdue amount per year or (b) the highest rate then permitted by Applicable Law, for each day the amount is past due, which shall be compounded
monthly, if permitted by Applicable Law. 
 3.7 Payment of Fees and Expenses. The Base Fee, any Incentive Fee, and any
Centralized Services Charges shall be due upon delivery to Owner of the Operating Reports required under Section 10.2. The Reimbursable Expenses and all other amounts payable by Owner under this Agreement shall be due, at Operator’s
option, upon delivery to Owner of the Operating Reports required under Section 10.2 or 10 days after notice to Owner. All payments by Owner under this Agreement and all related agreements between the Parties or their respective Affiliates shall
be made pursuant to independent covenants, and Owner shall not offset any claim for damages or money due from Operator or any of its Affiliates to Owner. All fees and other amounts due to Operator or its Affiliates under this Agreement shall be paid
to Operator in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the location(s) specified by Operator from time to time. Operator may pay such fees and other amounts owed to Operator or its Affiliates directly from the Operating Account, and if
sufficient funds are not then available in the Operating Account, Operator shall have the right to pay such amounts from the Reserve Fund, in which case Owner shall replenish the Reserve Fund in the amount of such withdrawal by Operator within 30
days of notice to Owner. In addition, Operator may require that any such payments be effected through electronic debit/credit transfer of funds programs specified by Operator from time to time, and Owner agrees to execute such documents (including
independent transfer authorizations), pay such fees and costs and do such things as Operator deems necessary to effect such transfers of funds. 

3.8 Application of Payments. All payments by Owner, or Operator on behalf of Owner, pursuant to this Agreement and all related
agreements shall be applied as designated by Operator. 
 ARTICLE 4 

CENTRALIZED SERVICES AND PROGRAMS 

4.1 Centralized Services. Operator may provide, or cause its Affiliates to provide, the Hotel with certain centralized services
including, without limitation, * * * (collectively, the “Centralized Services”). Operator’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in rendering such Centralized Services are not included within the Base Fee and Incentive
Fee to be paid hereunder and shall be reimbursed to Operator by Owner by payment to Operator of a fee equal to * * * percent (* * *%) of * * * (the “Centralized Services Charges”). Owner acknowledges that the Centralized Services to be
provided hereunder, may be provided by Operator, an Affiliate of Operator, or by a third party so long as the same service is not being provided to the Hotel by exclusively dedicated staff at the Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Centralized Services
provided by Operator or an Affiliate of Operator shall be of a quality comparable to or better than services that could be obtained from comparable third party hotel operators in arm’s length transactions for similar services. Owner shall pay
all Centralized 

  
 10 








 
Services Charges for, and comply with all terms of, all Centralized Services. The Centralized Services and the Centralized Services Charges shall be included in the Operating Plan and in the
Operating Reports on a quarterly basis. Centralized Services Charges may include: * * *. For the avoidance of doubt, those items categorized as Centralized Services shall be “Centralized Services” hereunder when provided in connection with
the ongoing operation of the Business after the Renovation End Date. The Centralized Services Charges payable for Centralized Services after the Renovation End Date shall be paid by Owner as an Operating Expense of the Business monthly in arrears
for all Centralized Services provided to the Business for the immediately preceding month and pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Operating Plan. For purposes of this Section 4.1, “profit” shall mean a markup of the costs
incurred in providing such Centralized Services, but shall specifically not include the cost of capital, research, acquisition and development expenses or allocations of corporate overhead that Operator reasonably determines are directly or
indirectly related to the provision of such Centralized Services. The intent of Operator’s overhead allocation policy is to charge for such Centralized Services in a fair and reasonable manner designed to allow Operator to recover its costs in
developing or delivering such Centralized Services, and not to provide for a profit component. In connection with the foregoing, at any particular time, there may be a reasonable surplus of funds associated with certain Centralized Services due to
the normal billing cycles in respect thereof. Owner acknowledges that retention of such funds for use at a later date (including interest earned thereon) shall not constitute profit. In connection with the preparation the Certified Financial
Statements delivered by Operator to Owner pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, Owner shall have the right to direct the independent certified public accounts who are opining on the Certified Financial Statements to audit the Centralized Services
and Centralized Services Charges to verify (a) that there is no mark-up, fee or profit included in the Centralized Services Charges and (b) that all Centralized Services are allocated to the Business on a basis that is no less favorable
than the allocation of Centralized Services to other hotels operated by Operator. Operator shall provide information reasonably requested by such accountants and shall deliver to Owner a detailed schedule of the Centralized Services, the Centralized
Services Charges, and their allocations such as will enable Owner to confirm clauses (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence. In addition Operator shall provide written certification to Owner that the Centralized Services Charges are
consistent with, or less than, customary market charges for similar services. The schedule and certification required hereunder shall be delivered to Owner at the same time as the Certified Financial Statements. 

4.2 Event Sales Commission. Owner acknowledges that Operator and/or its Affiliates employ a team of in-house event sales
representatives and promoters who endeavor to book and supervise large, private events at Operator’s and its Affiliates’ owned and managed venues and who receive a commission for any such events booked which is payable from the revenues of
any such event by the venue at which any such event is held. Owner agrees that the Business will reimburse Operator or its Affiliates, as applicable, for any such commissions that Operator or its Affiliates pays to such in-house event sales
representatives and promoters as a result of special events booked at the Business (“Event Sales Commissions”) so long as such Event Sales Commissions are both (i) consistent with the commissions paid to such individuals in connection
with events booked at Operator’s or its Affiliates’ other owned and/or operated venues and (ii) consistent with commissions charged by unaffiliated entities providing similar services to similar businesses. Furthermore, Operator shall
not rely on aforementioned event sales representatives and promoters to source business that should reasonably be booked and 

  
 11 








 
supervised by Business Personnel. Operator shall include its good faith estimate of the Event Sales Commissions expected to be incurred in any given Operating Year in each Operating Plan
delivered to Owner pursuant to Section 5.1. All Event Sales Commissions shall be set forth in the Operating Reports required under Section 10.2. 

4.3 Gift Cards, Discounts and Complimentaries. 

4.3.1 Owner acknowledges that Operator and its Affiliates currently sell gift cards at the various locations that Operator and/or its
Affiliates operate, and the Business will be included in this gift card program. If a gift card is sold at one location and used at another, the location that supplied the services shall receive the credit for the subject gift card, in an amount
equal to the redeemed amount of the gift cards by the subject location. Operator agrees to credit or reimburse the Business for, the full value of the redeemed amount of gift cards pursuant to Operator’s gift card program on a monthly basis and
account for the same in the Operating Reports. If Operator fails to credit or reimburse the Business for services supplied under Operator’s gift card program on a monthly basis in arrears and the same is not cured within 10 days after
written notice from Owner, Owner shall be entitled (i) to discontinue the Business’s participation in such program upon 60 days’ notice to Operator, and (ii) to offset the redeemed amount of the gift cards against any amounts
Owner owes to Operator hereunder. 
 4.3.2 Subject to reasonable aggregate limits to be set forth in the applicable approved Operating Plan,
the Business will grant (A) certain complimentary privileges to Operator or its Affiliates or, if so requested by Owner, to the operator of the Casino with respect to rooms and amenities within the Premises, and (B) (x) with respect
to Hotel Guest Rooms, preferred reservation rates as set forth in the approved Operating Plan, and (y) with respect to the F&B Facilities, discounts to specified individuals or individuals in specified relationships with Operator or its
Affiliates (“Operator Program Guests”) in a range from * * *% to no more than * * *% off of the amount of the guest check, including discounts for specific individuals designated by Owner (collectively, the “Operator Preferred
Program”). Subject to the same reasonable aggregate limits set forth above, if so requested by Owner, Operator shall extend the benefits of the Operator Preferred Program to the operator of the Casino or to specified patrons of the Casino.
Operator shall act in good faith and use its reasonable business judgment in implementing the Operator Preferred Program for the benefit of the Business (including, without limitation, setting applicable “black-out” dates at times that the
Business otherwise is likely to require its entire room inventory, based on projected periods of high occupancy as identified in the Operating Plan or as otherwise determined by Owner and Operator in connection with approval of the Operating Plan).
Owner may, in its reasonable discretion require Operator to reduce the scope of the Operator Preferred Program or otherwise take steps to address any perceived abuses in the operation of the Operator Preferred Program at the Hotel. The amount of all
discounts given under the Operator Preferred Program shall be set forth in the Operating Reports required under Section 10.2, and Owner shall be entitled to any further information with respect to the implementation, financial terms, and/or use
of the Operator Preferred Program at the Hotel as it may request from time to time. Operator reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Operator Preferred Program at any time in its sole discretion but not the reasonable aggregate limits set
forth in the Operating Plan with respect thereto.

 ARTICLE 5 

OPERATION OF THE BUSINESS 

5.1 Operating Plan. 

5.1.1 Proposed Operating Plan. The proposed Operating Plan for the first Operating Year after the Renovation End Date shall be prepared
by Operator and delivered to Owner for its review and approval at least 60 days prior to the Anticipated Renovation End Date. Thereafter, on or before November 1 of each Operating Year after the Renovation End Date, Operator shall prepare and
deliver to Owner, for its review and approval, a proposed Operating Plan for the next Operating Year, prepared in accordance with Operator’s standard planning and budgeting requirements, which shall include monthly and annualized projections of
the following items: 
 (a) estimated results of operations (including estimated Gross Operating Revenues, Promotional
Allowances, Operating Expenses and Gross Operating Profit), together with the following supporting data: (i) estimates of total labor costs, including both fixed and variable labor; (ii) estimates of the average daily rate and occupancy;
(iii) estimates of the Base Fee, the Incentive Fee, any Centralized Services Charges, any Event Sales Commissions, the Reimbursable Expenses and other amounts payable by Owner to Operator and its Affiliates under this Agreement;
(iv) estimates of fees, costs and reimbursements to be paid under the Franchise Agreement; (v) estimates of costs and reimbursements to be paid under any other franchise, license or other agreement for or relating to reservations,
technical services or other services for the Hotel; (vi) fixed charges; and (vii) estimates of costs and reimbursements to be paid under the Casino License Agreement and the Employee Lease Agreement; 

(b) a description of proposed Capital Improvements to be made during such Operating Year in accordance with Section 5.2.2
and itemized estimated capital expenditures related thereto, including capitalized lease expenses and a contingency line item (the “Capital Budget”); 

(c) a statement of cash flow, including a schedule of any anticipated requirements for funding by Owner; 

(d) a marketing plan for the activities to be undertaken by Operator pursuant to Article 9, which plan shall include a
description of the Business’s target markets, the Business’s relative position in those markets, the proposed room rate structures for each market segment, the current and future sales plan for the Business, the advertising and public
relations plan for the Business and the proposed staffing for the sales and marketing activities of the Business; and 
 (e)
other information reasonably requested by Owner. 
 In connection with the Renovation, no later than the day that is 60 days prior to the Anticipated
Renovation End Date, Operator shall prepare and deliver to Owner a “pre-opening” portion of an Operating Plan for the Operating Year prior to the Renovation End Date, which is intended to supplement any applicable existing Operating Plan
with Pre-Opening Services applicable during 

  
 13 








 
the final stages of the Renovation. Further in connection with the Renovation, on or before the day that is 60 days prior to the Anticipated Renovation End Date, Operator shall prepare and
deliver to Owner an Operating Plan for the first Operating Year after the Renovation End Date, which is intended to replace any applicable existing Operating Plan. 

5.1.2 Approval of Operating Plan. Owner shall review the proposed Operating Plan and shall provide Operator with any objections
thereto, if any, in writing, within * * * days after receipt thereof and shall be deemed to have objected to that portion of any proposed Operating Plan not approved in writing within such time period. In the event Owner expressly objects to any
portion of the Operating Plan or fails to respond to Operator’s request for approval of the Operating Plan and the same is deemed to have been rejected, the Parties shall meet within * * * days after such deemed rejection or the date of
Operator’s receipt of Owner’s objections and the Parties shall discuss such objections. Operator shall then submit written revisions to the proposed Operating Plan after such discussion. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to reach an
agreement on the Operating Plan prior to January 1 of the applicable Operating Year. The proposed Operating Plan, as modified to reflect revisions either agreed to by the Parties or determined by resolution pursuant to Section 5.1.3, shall
become the Operating Plan for the applicable Operating Year. Owner shall act reasonably and exercise prudent business judgment in approving or objecting to all or any portion of the Operating Plan, it being understood that Owner may consider
Operator’s Projected GOP and Operator’s Projected Net Operating Income in such judgment. In furtherance of the foregoing, Owner shall not have the right to object to the following in any proposed Operating Plan: * * *. 

5.1.3 Resolution of Disputes for Operating Plan. If the Parties, despite their good faith efforts, are unable to reach final agreement
on the Operating Plan for an Operating Year by January 1 of such Operating Year, those portions of such Operating Plan that are not in dispute shall become effective on January 1 of such Operating Year. Pending the resolution of those
portions in the Operation Plan in dispute, the prior year’s Operating Plan shall govern the items in dispute, except that the budgeted expenses provided for such item(s) in the prior year’s Operating Plan (or, if earlier, the last
Operating Plan 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 Operating Plan in which the budgeted expenses for such disputed item(s) were approved). Upon the resolution of any such dispute, such resolution shall
control as to such item(s). 
 5.1.4 Operation in Accordance with Operating Plan. Operator shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to operate the Business in general accordance with the Operating Plan for the applicable Operating Year. Nevertheless, the Parties acknowledge that preparation of the Operating Plans is inherently inexact and that Operator shall be permitted to vary
from any Operating Plan to the extent Operator reasonably determines that such variance is required for compliance with the Operating Standard; provided, however, that (a) Operator shall not incur costs or expenses or make expenditures that
would cause the (i) expenditures for any line item to exceed the budgeted amount of such line item by more than the lesser of * * * or (ii) total expenditures for the Operation of the Business to exceed the aggregate amount of expenditures
provided in the Operating Plan by more than * * *, in each case without Owner’s prior approval, and (b) Operator shall not exceed the Capital Budget for any Capital Improvements by any amount without Owner’s prior approval. Any
approval required from Owner under this Section 5.1.4 shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 

  
 14 








 5.1.5 Exceptions to Operating Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 5.1.4,
Owner acknowledges and agrees as follows: 
 (a) the amount of certain expenses provided for in the Operating Plan for any
Operating Year will vary based on the occupancy and use of the Business and, accordingly, to the extent that occupancy and use of the Business for any Operating Year exceeds the occupancy and use projected in the Operating Plan for such Operating
Year, such Operating Plan shall be deemed to include corresponding increases in such variable expenses; 
 (b) the amount of
certain expenses provided for in the Operating Plan for any Operating Year to the extent not within the ability of Operator to control, including real estate and personal property taxes, utilities, insurance premiums, license and permit fees and
certain charges provided for in contracts and leases entered into pursuant to this Agreement, and, accordingly, Operator shall have the right to pay all such uncontrollable expenses without reference to the amounts provided for with respect thereto
in the Operating Plan for such Operating Year; 
 (c) if any expenditures are required on an emergency basis to avoid
potential injury to persons or damage to the Business or other property, Operator shall have the right to make such expenditures, whether or not provided for, or within the amounts provided for, in the Operating Plan for the Operating Year in
question, as may reasonably be required to avoid or mitigate such injury or damage, and such expenditures shall be treated as Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures, as otherwise determined in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however,
that Operator initially may make such expenditures out of the Reserve Fund, in which case Operator shall notify Owner as promptly as reasonably possible of the making of any such withdrawal from the Reserve Fund, and Owner shall replenish the
Reserve Fund in the amount of such withdrawal within 30 days after such notice from Operator to Owner; and 
 (d) if any
expenditures are required to comply with, or cure or prevent any violation of, any Applicable Law (subject to Owner’s right to direct Operator to contest such non-compliance with, or violation of, any Applicable Law pursuant to
Section 2.1.3(i)), Operator shall have the right to make such expenditures, whether or not provided for or within the amounts provided for in the Operating Plan for the Operating Year in question, as may be necessary to comply with, or cure or
prevent the violation of, such Applicable Law, and such expenditures shall be treated as Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures, as otherwise determined in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that Operator may initially make such
expenditure out of the Reserve Fund, in which case Operator shall notify Owner as promptly as reasonably possible of the making of any such withdrawal from the Reserve Fund, and Owner shall replenish the Reserve Fund in the amount of such withdrawal
within 30 days after such notice from Operator to Owner. 

  
 15 








 5.1.6 Modification to Operating Plan. Operator shall have the right from time to time
during each Operating Year to propose modifications to the Operating Plan then in effect based on actual operations during the elapsed portion of the applicable Operating Year and Operator’s judgment as to what will transpire during the
remainder of such Operating Year. Any such modifications shall be subject to Owner’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably delayed, and shall be deemed denied if a written approval is not received by Operator within 10 days after Operator
submits such request to Owner. In the event Operator’s proposed modifications are deemed denied, Operator shall have the right to resubmit an alternative modification to Owner for Owner’s consideration and approval. 

5.2 Maintenance and Repair; Capital Improvements. 

5.2.1 Required Maintenance and Repair and Capital Improvements. Operator, at Owner’s expense, shall perform or cause to be
performed all ordinary maintenance and repair to (a) keep the Business in good working order and condition and in compliance with the Operating Standard and the Physical Brand Standards, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5.2.2
and 6.2 below, and (b) comply with, and cure or prevent the violation of, any Applicable Laws, as well as otherwise provided in the applicable Operating Plan or approved by Owner. 

5.2.2 Capital Improvements. Operator, at Owner’s expense, shall cause to be performed all Capital Improvements as provided in the
applicable Operating Plan or proposed by Operator and approved by Owner, unless Owner notifies Operator that Owner will perform or supervise such work (in which case Owner shall perform or 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 Business or inconvenience to Business guests or customers); provided, however, in emergency situations or in those instances in which
Operator in good faith erroneously determines that an item is a repair or replacement, which Owner, the Hotel accountants or a governmental agency subsequently classifies as a Capital Improvement, Operator shall be deemed to have made such Capital
Improvement with the consent of Owner; and provided, further, that, in such emergency situations or such instances, Owner and Operator shall, in good faith and at Owner’s direction, determine how to most effectively reduce the scope of the
then-current Capital Budget such that overall spending on Capital Improvements remains within the amount approved as part of the then-current Operating Plan, to the extent reasonably possible while ensuring that the Hotel may at all times be
operated in accordance with the Operating Standard and the terms of this Agreement. Emergency situations shall include, without limitation, any set of circumstances, requiring immediate action in Operator’s good faith judgment to prevent,
address, remedy or mitigate personal injury, damage to the property of third parties, damage to the Hotel, loss or diminution of any licenses or right to operate the Hotel and related facilities for intended purposes, civil or criminal sanctions, or
liability of either Operator or Owner that may arise out of or in connection with any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event of any change in the Physical Brand Standards (“Brand
Standard Change”), requiring Capital Improvements and/or replacement of FF&E to comply with the then applicable Physical Brand Standards, Owner and Operator shall address the Brand Standard Change at the time of any repair or replacement of
the item that is the subject of the Brand Standard Change so long as the costs required to effect such Brand Standard Change are not greater than the cost of ordinary repair or replacement of a like 


  
 16 








 
item. For purposes of illustration, if the white sheets are being replaced in the ordinary course of business and the Brand Standard Change calls for pink sheets, Owner shall be required to
comply with the pink sheets requirement so long as the same would not cost more than replacement of white sheets that previously met the Physical Brand Standards. 

5.2.3 Reserve Fund Contributions. In order to facilitate the funding of Capital Improvements, Operator shall set aside on a monthly
basis an amount equal to the Reserve Fund Contribution by transferring funds from the Operating Account to the Reserve Fund. All interest earned in the Reserve Fund shall be added to the Reserve Fund, but shall not be credited against amounts
required to be deposited in the Reserve Fund. At the end of each Operating Year, all amounts not expended from the Reserve Fund shall be carried forward to the next Operating Year, but shall not be credited against the amount of the Reserve Fund
Contribution owing for any subsequent period. Owner acknowledges that setting aside the required amount of funds in the Reserve Fund does not guaranty that the Reserve Fund will supply sufficient funds to meet Owner’s obligations under this
Agreement and that Owner shall remain responsible for providing any additional funds required to perform its obligations under this Section 5.2. 

5.2.4 Use of Reserve Fund. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Reserve Fund shall be used solely for the
purpose of funding Capital Improvements included in the Operating Plan or otherwise proposed by Operator and approved by Owner. 
 5.2.5
Remediation of Design or Construction Defect. If the design or construction of the Business is defective and the defective condition presents a risk of injury to persons or damage to the Business or other property or results in non-compliance
with the Operating Standard or Applicable Law, then Owner shall cause to be performed all work necessary to remedy such design or construction defect in the Business as expeditiously as possible. Owner acknowledges that such work shall be performed
at Owner’s expense, that Owner may not use funds in the Operating Account or the Reserve Fund in remedying such defects and that any amounts expended by Owner in effecting the remedy of such defect shall not be deducted in determining Net
Operating Revenues or Gross Operating Profit. 
 5.3 Personnel. 

5.3.1 All Business Personnel shall be employees of Operator or an Affiliate of Operator. The hiring and compensation of the Business’s
general manager and department heads (collectively, the “Executive Staff”) shall be subject to Owner’s approval and the approval of the operator of the Casino (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed), provided, however, that such approval of the operator of the Casino shall apply solely with respect to Executive Staff who are (A) assigned to manage Business Personnel who staff the Casino or (B) Key Personnel. Subject to the
limitations of the Operating Plan and this Agreement, Operator or its payroll Affiliate shall have the exclusive right to supervise through the Executive Staff the hiring, promotion, discharge and work of all Business Personnel; provided that one or
more Affiliates of Operator (such Affiliate(s), “F&B Employer”) may, at Operator’s election, be the legal employer of those operating and service employees performing services at the F&B Outlets as determined by Operator
(collectively, the “F&B Personnel”); provided that to the extent any Business Personnel are Key Personnel, Operator shall require 

  
 17 








 
such Key Personnel to cooperate fully with the operator of the Casino and subject themselves to due diligence reviews and background checks pursuant to the Compliance Plan or Gaming Laws as a
condition of employment; and provided, further, that if Owner or the operator of the Casino (but in the case of the operator of the Casino, solely with respect to Business Personnel who are (i) are assigned to staff the Casino or (ii) are
Key Personnel) reasonably objects to an individual being hired at the Premises, then Operator shall not hire such individual; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in regards to Business Personnel
(including, for the sake of clarity, applicable Executive Staff), if Owner or the operator of the Casino (but in the case of the operator of the Casino, solely for any Business Personnel who are assigned to staff the Casino pursuant to the Employee
Lease Agreement) deems it likely, as determined in good faith by Owner or the operator of the Casino, as the case may be, that Operator’s employment of one or more individuals may (a) preclude or delay, impede, jeopardize or impair the
ability of Owner or operator of the Casino to obtain or retain any gaming or other privileged licenses, (b) result in the imposition of terms and conditions on any such gaming or other privileged licenses, (c) subject Owner or operator of
the Casino to any disciplinary proceedings by the Gaming Authority, and/or (d) constitute a violation of the Gaming Laws, then Owner or the operator of the Casino, as the case may be, may exercise any and all supervisory power with respect to
such Business Personnel relating to their employment with Operator (which supervisory power may, for the sake of clarity, include absolute authority to hire, fire, and discipline the individual). 

5.3.2 Operator or its Affiliate shall recruit, screen, appoint, hire, pay, train, supervise, instruct and direct the Business’s general
manager and department heads, and they, or other Business Personnel to whom they may delegate such authority, shall recruit, screen, appoint, hire, pay, train, supervise, instruct and direct all other Business Personnel necessary or advisable for
the Operation of the Business and provision of the Pre-Opening Services, and discipline, transfer, relocate, replace, terminate and dismiss any Business Personnel. All terms of employment, personnel policies and practices relating to the Business
Personnel shall be established by Operator, including (a) the terms of employment, including recruiting, screening, appointment, hiring, compensation, bonuses, severance, pension plans and other employee benefits, training, supervision,
instruction, direction, discipline, transfer, relocation, replacement, termination and dismissal of Business Personnel, and (b) the exercise of any rights or remedies under any Applicable Laws (including the National Labor Relations Act)
relating to labor matters in relation to the Business and the Business Personnel, including union organization, recognition and withdrawal of recognition, union elections, contract negotiation on a single-employer or multi-employer basis,
grievances, unfair labor practice charges, strikes and lockouts. Operator shall process the payroll and benefits for Business Personnel. All Corporate Personnel and other personnel of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates who travel to
the Business to perform technical assistance or other services for the Business shall be permitted to stay at the Business and, subject to reasonable request, use its Guest Rooms and the F&B Facilities without charge. All Corporate Personnel and
other personnel of Operator or any of its Affiliates, as well as personnel of Owner and its Affiliates shall be permitted to stay at the Business for business or non-business purposes and use its Guest Rooms and the F&B Facilities at reduced
rates in accordance with policies with respect to such stays in effect from time to time that are applicable to the Operator Facilities.

 5.3.3 All Business Personnel, including the Executive Staff, shall be employees of Operator,
F&B Employer or their respective Affiliates and shall be supervised by Operator, though compensation for such work will be considered an Operating Expense of the Business (regardless of whether Operator, F&B Employer or an Affiliate thereof
is the respective legal employer); provided, however, that if Business Personnel are assigned to staff the Casino pursuant to the Employee Lease Agreement, then, although such Business Personnel shall remain employees of Operator, both their
supervision and the accounting treatment of their compensation shall be governed by the Employee Lease Agreement. Operator shall have the authority to make decisions regarding the wages and benefits of Business Personnel consistent with the wages
and benefits offered to employees of Operator’s other comparable local managed properties (if any), provided that the cost of such wages and benefits are within the approved Operating Plan. Operator shall not be required to advance its own
funds but instead Operator may reimburse itself and/or F&B Employer or other Affiliates from the Operating Account for, the total aggregate compensation (including, without limitation, fringe benefits, payroll taxes, workers compensation, and
performance bonuses) paid or payable to overtime exempt and nonexempt Business Personnel. Subject to the foregoing and provided that there are adequate funds available to the Business to cover all Business Personnel related expenses when due,
Operator, F&B Employer or their respective payroll Affiliate (as applicable) shall pay all compensation to all Business Personnel. Subject to applicable labor and employment laws and collective bargaining agreements, Operator (or at
Operator’s direction, F&B Employer) has the right to employ additional part-time personnel from other properties Operator is managing (or may in the future manage) to provide such services to the Hotel as deemed necessary by Operator, as
long as the cost for such work is in accordance with the approved Operating Plan and this Agreement. Owner and its Affiliates may allocate certain expenses of employees and/or consultants to the Premises as they deem necessary, in their reasonable
discretion, which expenses shall be an Operating Expense, provided that the cost of such expenses (i) are within the approved Operating Plan and (ii) shall not be counted as an Operating Expense for purposes of calculating Gross Operating
Profit. 
 5.3.4 In consultation with Owner, Operator shall have the authority to negotiate with any labor union lawfully entitled to
represent such Business Personnel, with respect to collective bargaining agreements or labor contracts; provided, however, that final approval of such agreements is subject to the advance approval of Owner. 

5.3.5 Owner may require Operator to hire certain Business Personnel to provide additional accounting and finance support as Owner reasonably
determines is necessary to comply with Applicable Law, including any reporting obligations thereunder, the cost of which shall be an Operating Expense so long as the position(s) is contemplated in the approved Operating Plan or otherwise agreed to
by Owner and Operator. 
 5.4 Bank Accounts. 

5.4.1 Administration of Bank Accounts. Operator shall establish and administer the bank accounts listed in this Section 5.4 (the
“Bank Accounts”) on Owner’s behalf at a bank or banks selected by Owner. All Bank Accounts shall be established in the name of the Business and shall use the taxpayer identification number of Owner. The Bank Accounts may include: 

(a) one or more accounts for the purposes of depositing all funds received in the Operation of the Business and paying all
Operating Expenses and all fees and other amounts due to Operator under this Agreement (collectively, the “Operating Account”); 

  
 19 








 (b) one or more accounts into which amounts sufficient to cover all Business
Personnel Costs shall be deposited from time to time by Operator (by transfer of funds from the Operating Account) or Owner (if sufficient funds are not then available in the Operating Account) (collectively, the “Payroll Account”); 

(c) a separate interest-bearing account into which the Reserve Fund Contributions shall be deposited from time to time by
Operator (by transfer of funds from the Operating Account) or Owner (if sufficient funds are not then available in the Operating Account) in accordance with Section 5.2.3 (the “Reserve Fund”); 

(d) a separate interest-bearing account into which funds up to the amount of the Working Capital Reserve Requirement shall be
deposited from time to time by Operator (by transfer of funds from the Operating Account) or Owner in accordance with Section 5.5 (the “Working Capital Reserve”); and 

(e) such other accounts as Operator deems necessary or desirable. 

5.4.2 Authorized Signatories. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Operator’s and Owner’s designees shall be authorized to
draw funds from the Bank Accounts, it being understood that Owner’s designees may only do so upon Owner providing Operator with reasonable prior written notice of any draw by Owner’s designees. Operator shall be entitled to make deposits
in all of the Bank Accounts in accordance with this Agreement and Operator’s standard accounting policies and practices. Operator shall establish reasonable controls to ensure accurate reporting of all transactions involving the Bank Accounts
and, if Operator deems necessary or advisable, the Bank Accounts shall require positive pay and electronic reconciliation features to reduce possibilities of fraud. 

5.4.3 Liability for Loss in Bank Accounts. Owner shall bear all losses suffered in any of the Bank Accounts, or in any investment of
funds into any such Bank Account, and Operator shall have no liability or responsibility for such losses, except to the extent due to Operator’s Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct. 

5.4.4 Disbursement of Funds to Owner. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, on or about the 25th day of each calendar month, Operator
shall disburse to Owner, as directed by Owner, any funds remaining in the Operating Account at the end of the immediately preceding month after: (a) payment of all Operating Expenses, including the Third Person Concept Distributions;
(b) payment of all other amounts payable from the Operating Account in accordance with this Agreement; (c) deposit of the Reserve Fund Contribution due for such month in the Reserve Fund, and any deficiencies in the Reserve Fund;
(d) deposit of the Working Capital Contribution due for such month in the Working Capital Reserve, and, starting in the seventh operating month after the Renovation End Date, any deficiencies in the Working Capital Reserve; and
(e) retention by Operator of an amount sufficient to cover: (i) all accrued but 

  
 20 








 
unpaid amounts of the Base Fee, any Incentive Fee, any Centralized Services Charges, any Event Sales Commissions, and Reimbursable Expenses; (ii) all known and reasonably foreseeable
Operating Expenses payable under this Agreement for the ensuing month; (iii) any other amounts necessary to maintain the Operating Standard and comply with, and cure or prevent any violation of, any Applicable Law; (iv) an amount of
working capital as reasonably determined to be prudent by Operator to provide reserves for emergency expenditures or Operating Expenses payable less frequently than monthly or to cover anticipated operating shortfalls; and (v) such other
amounts as may be agreed to by the Parties from time to time. Any amounts remaining in the Operating Account on the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be disbursed to Owner; provided, however, that Operator may deduct and retain prior
to such disbursement all amounts owed by Owner to Operator and its Affiliates under this Agreement. 
 5.5 Funds for Operation of the
Business. 
 5.5.1 Initial Working Capital. In furtherance of Owner’s obligations under this Section 5.5, Operator
shall provide to Owner at least 90 days prior to the Renovation End Date (and updated as necessary thereafter) an estimate of (a) the amount of initial working capital required for the commencement of Operations at the Business, including
without limitation the working capital required to fund initial food and beverage inventories, initial minibar inventories, initial retail inventories and initial house bank balances, and (b) the Business’s working capital requirements for
at least the first month of Operation and for such longer period as Operator may reasonably determine based on the Operator’s estimate of the Business’s cash flow and the time of year in which the Renovation End Date occurs ((a) and
(b) above, the “Initial Working Capital”). In addition, the Working Capital Reserve shall at all times have on deposit not less than $* * * (the “Working Capital Reserve Requirement”). The Working Capital Reserve shall be
funded initially as follows: For the first 12 operating months following the Renovation End Date, Operator shall set aside on a monthly basis an amount equal to the Working Capital Contribution by transferring funds from the Operating Account to the
Working Capital Reserve, until such time as funds equal to the Working Capital Reserve Requirement are on deposit in the Working Capital Reserve, at which time Operator shall suspend the transferring of such funds. If, at the end of such 12-month
period, the Working Capital Reserve does not have on deposit funds equal to the Working Capital Reserve Requirement, Owner shall, prior to the end of the next succeeding month, deposit in the Working Capital Reserve such funds as are needed to
ensure that the Working Capital Reserve holds fund equal to the Working Capital Reserve Requirement. All interest earned on the Working Capital Reserve shall be credited to the Working Capital Reserve. If funds in the Operating Account are not
sufficient for the operation and maintenance of the Hotel and compliance with the Operating Standard, Applicable Law and the implementation of the Operating Plan, Operator may apply funds in the Working Capital Reserve thereto. After the initial
funding of the Working Capital Reserve hereunder, any deficiencies in the Working Capital Reserve shall be funded by deposit from the Operating Account in accordance with Section 5.4.4 or by a Fund Request pursuant to, and in accordance with,
Section 5.5.2. 
 5.5.2 Additional Funds. In furtherance of Owner’s obligations under this Section 5.5, if Operator
reasonably determines at any time during the Operating Term that (a) the available funds in the Operating Account are insufficient to allow for the uninterrupted and efficient Operation of the Business in accordance with this Agreement,
(b) the available funds in 

  
 21 








 
the Working Capital Reserve are less than the Working Capital Reserve Requirement, or (c) the available funds in the Reserve Fund are insufficient to allow for payment of all Capital
Improvements then contemplated in the Operating Plan or otherwise approved by Owner or authorized in this Agreement, Operator shall notify Owner of the existence and amount of the shortfall (a “Funds Request”), and Owner shall (i) in
the case of a Funds Request arising under clause (a) of the foregoing, deposit into the Operating Account operating funds sufficient in amount (after taking into account funds in the Operating Account from operation of the Business) to
constitute normal working capital for the uninterrupted and efficient operation of the Business for the next 60 days, including the payment of all Operating Expenses, (ii) in the case of a Funds Request arising under clause (b) of the
foregoing, deposit in the Working Capital Reserve funds sufficient in amount (after taking into account funds in the Working Capital Reserve) to meet the Working Capital Reserve Requirement, or (iii) in the case of a Funds Request arising under
clause (c) of the foregoing, deposit in the Reserve Fund an amount sufficient (after taking into account funds in the Reserve Fund) to allow for payment of all Capital Improvements then contemplated in the Operating Plan or otherwise approved
by Owner or authorized in this Agreement. In all cases, Owner shall deposit the required amounts within 20 days after the delivery of the Funds Request. 

5.5.3 Failure to Provide Funds. If Owner fails to deposit all or any portion of the Initial Working Capital or the amounts required
pursuant to a Funds Request, such failure shall be an Event of Default by Owner without any requirement for further notice to Owner by Operator and Operator shall have no liability under this Agreement for its inability to perform as Operator under
this Agreement as a result of such failure. Operator shall be relieved from its obligations to operate the Hotel in compliance with the Operating Standards and in accordance with this Agreement whenever and to the extent Operator is prevented or
restricted from doing so by reason of Owner’s failure to provide sufficient funds to operate the Business in accordance with this Agreement (including without limitation by reason of Owner’s failure to comply with the Physical Brand
Standards but subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5.2.2 and 6.2). All costs and expenses of operating the Business shall be payable out of funds from the operation of the Hotel or which are otherwise provided by Owner. In no event shall
Operator be obligated to pledge or use its own credit or advance any of its own funds to pay any such costs or expenses for the Hotel. 

5.6 Purchasing. 

5.6.1 Purchasing Programs. Operator or its Affiliates may, in its discretion, make purchasing programs available to the Operator
Facilities (each, a “Purchasing Program”). Subject to the Operating Plan, Operator may elect, in its discretion, but subject to the terms of this Section 5.6, to purchase any FF&E and Supplies for the Operation of the Business
from a Purchasing Program maintained by Operator or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the prices and terms of the FF&E and Supplies to be purchased under such Purchasing Program are competitive with the prices and terms of goods and
services of equal quality available from other suppliers. Owner acknowledges and agrees that Operator and its Affiliates shall have the right to terminate all or any portion of any such Purchasing Program from time to time upon 60 days’ notice
to Owner. 
 5.6.2 * * * 

  
 22 








 5.7 Use of Affiliates by Operator. In performing its obligations under this
Agreement, Operator from time to time may use the services of one or more of its Affiliates, provided that any contract with an Affiliate of the Operator shall be subject to the consent of Owner in accordance with Section 2.2.1. 

5.8 Limitation on Operator’s Obligations. 

5.8.1 Availability of Sufficient Funds. Operator’s obligations under this Agreement are subject in all respects to the
availability of sufficient funds from the Operation of the Business, or which are otherwise provided by Owner. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses of Operating the Business shall be payable out of funds
from the Operation of the Business, or which are otherwise provided by Owner. In no event shall Operator be obligated to pledge or use its own credit or advance any of its own funds to pay any such costs or expenses for the Business. Accordingly,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Operator shall be relieved from its obligations to operate the Business in compliance with the Operating Standard and in accordance with this Agreement whenever and to the extent that
Operator is prevented or restricted from doing so by reason of (a) the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event or (b) Owner’s breach of any term of this Agreement (including Owner’s obligation to provide sufficient funds as required
under this Agreement). In the event of Owner’s failure to comply with this Section 5.8 or Section 5.5.1, and Operator elects to exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to Section 16.1 hereunder, the time periods set forth in
Section 16.3 shall be reduced at Operator’s option to the number of days Operator reasonably believes the available funds will permit Operator to operate the Hotel in accordance with the Operating Standard. 

5.8.2 Pre-Existing Conditions and External Events. If any environmental, construction, personnel, real property-related or other
problems arise at the Business during the Operating Term that (a) relate to the Operation or condition of the Business, or activities undertaken on the Premises, prior to the Operating Term or (b) are caused by or arise from sources off of
the Premises or existing prior to the Effective Date, Operator’s services under this Agreement shall not extend to management of any remediation, abatement or other correction of such problems, and Owner shall retain full managerial and
financial responsibility and liability for and control over the remediation, abatement and correction of such problems, and shall take such actions in a timely manner with as little disturbance or interruption of the use and enjoyment of the
Business as practicable. 
 5.9 No Third-Party Operated Areas. The Parties acknowledge that all areas and aspects of the
Business shall be operated by Operator pursuant to this Agreement unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, Owner shall not lease the parking facilities to any third Person or otherwise limit the Business’s
use of the parking facilities resulting in parking insufficient for the Operation of the Business. 
 5.10 Compliance with Applicable
Laws. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Operator’s rights, authority, and obligations with respect to the operation of the Business shall at all times remain subject to Owner’s reservation of such
rights, authority, and obligations as are (or may in the future be) required by Applicable Laws (including without limitation Gaming Laws). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

  
 23 








 
Owner may at any time access, or give any duly credentialed representative of any agency charged with enforcement of any Applicable Laws permission to access, any portion of the Premises.

 7.4 Acknowledgement of Operator’s Rights. Owner acknowledges the
rights of Operator and its Affiliates in and to the Operator Proprietary Information and agrees that (i) Owner has not acquired, and Owner will not represent in any manner that Owner has 

  
 26 








 
acquired, in any manner any ownership rights in the Operator Proprietary Information; (ii) Operator may use and grant to others the right to use any Operator Proprietary Information, except
as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, Intermediateco’s LLC Agreement, or in any other agreement between Operator or its Affiliates and Owner or its Affiliates; (iii) the restrictions and limitations with respect to

inure directly and exclusively to the benefit of Operator and its Affiliates. Owner shall not use any of the Operator Proprietary Information in any manner for any purpose whatsoever without Operator’s prior consent (which may be granted or
withheld in its sole discretion), except that Owner may use Operator Proprietary Information and the Licensed Trademarks in connection with the Business as expressly provided for herein and under the SLS Brand License and the F&B Brand License,
and Owner may use any Licensed Trademarks in any trade name or assumed name under which Owner conducts the Business or in any prospectus, offering circular, financing document, or marketing materials describing the Business and Owner’s

use any of the Operator Proprietary Information in the Operation of the Business or otherwise, except as otherwise provided herein. 
 7.5
Infringement. Owner agrees that, during the Operating Term and thereafter, Owner shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) apply for any rights or interests in the Operator Proprietary Information in any jurisdiction,
(ii) infringe Operator’s rights in the Operator Proprietary Information in any way, (iii) contest or aid others in contesting the validity, ownership or Operator’s right to use the Operator Proprietary Information, other than in
connection with a dispute regarding the terms hereof, of the SLS Brand License, the F&B Brand License, or any other agreement between Operator or its Affiliates and Owner or its Affiliates, or (iv) take any other action in derogation of the
Operator Proprietary Information. Owner, promptly upon obtaining knowledge thereof, shall notify Operator of any unauthorized attempt to use any of the Operator Proprietary Information, including any colorable variation of the Licensed Trademarks,
or any legal action instituted against Owner with respect to any Operator Proprietary Information. Owner shall assist Operator and its Affiliates in taking such action as Operator reasonably may request to stop such activities, but shall take no
action nor incur any expenses on Operator’s behalf without Operator’s prior written approval (nor shall Operator take any action or incur any expense on Owner’s behalf without Owner’s prior written approval). Operator shall have
the right to select legal counsel and control all litigation with respect to any action brought against Operator by a third party with respect to the Operator Proprietary Information. In the event Operator undertakes the defense or prosecution of
any litigation relating to the Operator Proprietary Information, Owner shall execute such documents reasonably required, and take or not take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary, to carry out such defense or prosecution, all at no cost
to Owner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, (x) if Owner notifies Operator of any unauthorized attempt to use any of the Operator Proprietary Information in a manner detrimental to the Business and Operator fails to
take any action to stop such activities, Owner shall be entitled to take any action to which 

  
 27 








 
it is legally entitled to prevent any such unauthorized use and Operator shall assist Owner and its Affiliates in taking such action as Owner may reasonably request to stop such activities at no
cost to Operator; and (ii) Operator shall not prosecute or defend any Claim involving Operator Proprietary Information without the approvals required under Section 2.2.1(a) hereof if such Claim arises out of the Operation of the
Business. This Section 7.5 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 
 7.6 Guest Data. Operator
shall maintain as part of the books and records of the Business any guest profiles, contact information (e.g., addresses, phone numbers, facsimile numbers and email addresses), histories, preferences and other information obtained in the ordinary
course of business from guests of the Business during such guests’ patronage of the Business or as a consequence of such guests’ anticipated or actual patronage of the Business (e.g., through a reservation, whether or not the reservation
system resides on the Premises, and whether or not the reservation system is owned, operated, licensed, leased or franchised by Operator) (the “Business Guest Data”). Operator shall make all Business Guest Data available to Owner and, if
so requested by Owner, Owner’s Affiliates in a useable format to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law. During the Operating Term, Operator and the operator of the Casino may use the Business Guest Data in any reasonable manner, so long
as such use will not: (a) violate the terms of this Agreement, any Applicable Law or any of the privacy policies of Owner or Operator; (b) interfere with, or be detrimental to the Operation of the Business by Operator; or
(c) interfere with, or be detrimental to, the financial performance of the Business. Owner shall provide Operator with such information as Operator shall deem necessary in order to seek the necessary consent of each customer of the Business to
disclose personal data relating to that customer to Owner, Operator and their Affiliates and to the use of the personal data to promote and market products and services other than in the ordinary course of operating the Business. Upon the expiration
or earlier termination of this Agreement, or at other times as may be requested by Owner, Operator shall provide Owner with a copy of all Business Guest Data maintained pursuant to this Section 7.6 (whether or not the same overlaps with any
Operator Guest Data). Owner and Operator are each solely responsible for any third-party claims which arise against it or the other Party as the result of their respective ownership, dissemination or other use of the Business Guest Data or the
Operator Guest Data. Operator shall be the exclusive owner of any and all Operator Guest Data and Owner and Operator shall jointly own any and all Business Guest Data. Operator acknowledges that in the event of a Transfer of the Business, Owner may
transfer its ownership interest in the Business Guest Data to the successor of the Business as a part of such Transfer. In connection with any such Transfer, Owner agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an indemnity from the
transferee of the Business Guest Data, pursuant to which such transferee shall indemnify Operator from any loss incurred by Operator as a result of such transferee’s use of the Business Guest Data, but only on the condition that Operator agrees
to provide a reciprocal indemnity to such transferee, pursuant to which Operator shall indemnify such transferee from any loss incurred by such transferee as a result of Operator’s use of the Business Guest Data. 

7.7 Acknowledgment of Owner Proprietary Rights. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Owner has and shall have
(a) exclusive ownership rights in and to Pre-Effective Date Intellectual Property of Owner (including the Former Hotel Name) and (b) a joint ownership interest with Operator in and to the Manuals (but expressly excluding Manuals (or the
portions thereof) relating to proprietary instructions, requirements, guidance or policy statements that are 

  
 28

OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS, AND THE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF EACH OF FOREGOING, FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, DAMAGE, LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE INCURRED BY THE RELEASING PARTY, WHETHER OR NOT DUE TO THE NEGLIGENT OR OTHER ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE
PERSONS SO RELEASED TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY, DAMAGE, LOSS, COST OR EXPENSE IS COVERED BY THE INSURANCE POLICIES OF THE RELEASING PARTY. 

12.2.2 Reliance on Owner’s Advisors. Owner acknowledges that neither Operator nor any insurance broker that Operator or its
Affiliates may retain makes any representation, warranty or guaranty whatsoever regarding: (a) the advisability or sufficiency of the insurance required or obtained under this Agreement; (b) whether the insurance made available under the
insurance program maintained by Operator or its Affiliates is sufficient to protect Owner, the Business and its Operations against all liability, damage, loss, cost or expense that might be incurred; or (c) any other insurance that Owner should

its Affiliates, and their respective trustees, beneficiaries, directors, officers, partners, members, managers, employees and agents, and the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Operator Indemnified
Parties”) for, from and against any and all Claims, except to the extent such Claims are caused by Operator’s Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct. 

12.3.2 Indemnification by Operator. Subject to Sections 12.3.3 and 12.3.4, Operator shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Owner
and its Affiliates (including, for the sake of clarity, any Affiliate that operates the Casino), and their respective trustees, beneficiaries, 

  
 34 








 
directors, officers, partners, members, managers, employees and agents, and the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Owner Indemnified Parties”) for, from
and against any and all Claims that any Owner Indemnified Parties incur to the extent caused by Operator’s Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct. 

12.3.3 Insurance Coverage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.3, the Parties shall look first to the
appropriate insurance coverages in effect pursuant to this Agreement prior to seeking indemnification under this Section 12.3 in the event any claim or liability occurs as a result of injury to persons or damage to property, regardless of the
cause of such claim or liability; provided, however, that if the insurance company denies coverage or reserves rights as to coverage, then the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to seek indemnification, without first looking to such insurance
coverage. In addition, nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall in any way affect the releases set forth in Section 12.2.1. 

12.3.4 Indemnification Procedures. Any Indemnified Party shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, to the

Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party at any time during the defense of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may appoint independent counsel of its choice for the defense of the Indemnified Party as to such Claim. In addition,
regardless of whether the Indemnified Party has appointed counsel or selects independent counsel (a) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Claim and approve any proposed settlement of such Claim (unless
such settlement involves only a cash payment) and (b) all reasonable costs and expenses (excluding attorneys’ fees and cost except for any independent counsel appointed pursuant to the second sentence) of the Indemnified Party shall be
paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to timely pay such costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such amounts and be
reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for the same, together with interest thereon in accordance with Section 3.5 until paid in full. The Parties hereby acknowledge that it shall not be a defense to a demand for indemnity that less than all
Claims asserted against the Indemnified Party are subject to indemnification.

survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

PERSONNEL; (III) THE INSTITUTION OF LITIGATION OR THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENTS AGAINST OWNER OR THE BUSINESS WITH RESPECT TO BUSINESS OPERATIONS; OR (IV) ANY OTHER ACTS OR OMISSIONS NOT OTHERWISE CONSTITUTING A DEFAULT OF OPERATOR’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT.

have occurred, the non-defaulting Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in addition to exercising against the defaulting Party any rights and remedies available to the non-defaulting Party under this Agreement or (subject to the
provisions of this Agreement) at law or in equity. The Parties acknowledge that if the alleged defaulting Party disputes the non-defaulting Party’s right to terminate this Agreement, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 17.

 16.3 Notice of Termination. If termination of this Agreement is an available remedy, such remedy shall be exercised by the
non-defaulting Party only by irrevocable and unconditional written notice to the defaulting Party, in which case this Agreement shall terminate on either (a) the date specified in this Agreement or (b) if not specified in this Agreement,
the date specified by the non-defaulting Party in the termination notice, which date shall in no event be sooner than 5 days nor later than 30 days, after the delivery of such notice. 

16.4 Special Termination Right of Operator. In addition to any termination right that Operator may have under any other
provision of this Agreement, Operator shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on at least 30 days written notice to Owner if: 

(a) any material Approval required for Operator’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or after issuance
is suspended for a period in excess of 60 days, revoked or otherwise terminated, but only if such non-issuance, suspension, revocation or termination is due to circumstances beyond Operator’s reasonable control; or 

(b) the Commencement of Construction fails to occur on or before December 31, 2013, as extended day-for-day in the event
of any Force Majeure Event; or 
 (c) Owner sells the Business to a Competitor.

shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without payment of any termination fee, but subject to Operator’s Cure Right and the other conditions for termination in this Section 16.5, if, * * * (collectively, the “Performance
Test”). If the Performance Test is not achieved, then Owner may exercise its right to terminate 

  
 38 








 
this Agreement only by irrevocable written notice of termination to Operator given within * * * days after receipt by Owner of the applicable Certified Financial Statements specifying a
termination date not less than * * * days nor more than * * * days after the giving of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Owner’s right of termination under this Section 16.5.1 shall not be exercisable if * * * is
not achieved as a result of (i) a Force Majeure Event, or (ii) a failure of Owner to provide funds as required by the terms of this Agreement. The Performance Test shall be equitably adjusted in order to account for the impact of the
following: (aa) the Hotel temporarily closes and such temporary closure materially and adversely affects the economic performance of the Hotel, or (bb) Owner fails or is delayed in obtaining and maintaining any and all requisites, permits, licenses
or entitlements necessary for the operation and management of the Hotel pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Operator’s Projected GOP shall be equitably adjusted downward by the
Parties (and, as a result thereof, Owner’s right of termination under this Section 16.5.1 may not be exercisable) if, as reported by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Clark County Gaming Revenue (y) declines during any
applicable Full Operating Year or (z) cumulatively declines during any number of consecutive Full Operating Years, in either case by more than * * *% (the “Decline Event”) from the Base Year. Thereafter and until Clark County Gaming
Revenue shall have recovered to a level that is greater than * * *% of the level in the Base Year, Operator’s Projected GOP shall continue to be equitably adjusted downward by the Parties. For purposes of the foregoing, the Base Year shall mean
the Full Operating Year preceding the Full Operating Year in which the Decline Event occurred or the first Full Operating Year included in the calculation of the Decline Event pursuant to clause (z). Owner expressly acknowledges that Operator’s
failure to achieve the Performance Test itself shall not in itself constitute an Event of Default or otherwise result in any liability to Operator or any of its Affiliates. 

16.5.2 Cure Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 16.5.1, if Owner has the right to terminate this Agreement
under Section 16.5.1 and sends a written notice of termination in accordance with Section 16.5.1, Operator shall have the right (the “Cure Right”), but not the obligation, to pay to Owner, within * * * days after receipt by
Operator of such termination notice, an amount equal to, * * *. The Base Fee and the Incentive Fee for any applicable Operating Year also shall be equitably adjusted upward to reflect the additional GOP being paid to Owner. In the event Operator
elects to make such payment, Owner’s notice of termination shall be deemed withdrawn and Owner shall not have the right to send another notice of termination unless the conditions of this Section 16.5.2 are met thereafter, in which case
the Cure Right may be exercised again. Operator shall not be entitled to exercise the foregoing Cure Right more than twice. 
 16.5.3 * * *

 16.5.4 Licensed Trademarks. * * *

Agreement. Termination under this Section 16.6 shall be without the payment of any Termination Fee except as provided in Section 16.7.9. 

16.6.2 * * * 
 16.6.3 Market
Conditions. Owner shall determine the Market Conditions by using its good faith judgment. Owner shall provide written notice of its good faith opinion of Market Conditions within 15 days (but in no event later than 20 days) after either Owner or
Operator, as applicable, notifies the other of its election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 16.5 or this Section 16.6. Operator shall have 30 days (“Operator’s Review Period”) after receipt of Owner’s
notice of the Market Conditions within which to accept such Market Conditions in writing. In the event Operator fails to accept the Market Conditions proposed by Owner, Owner and Operator shall attempt to agree upon such Market Conditions, using
their best good faith efforts. If Owner and Operator fail to reach agreement within 15 days following Operator’s Review Period (“Outside Agreement Date”), then each Party shall place in a separate sealed envelope its final proposal as
to Market Conditions and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the last paragraph of this Section 16.6.3. Failure of Operator to accept in writing Owner’s good faith opinion of Market Conditions within
Operator’s Review Period shall conclusively be deemed to constitute Operator’s disapproval of the Market Conditions as determined by Owner. 

In the event that Owner fails to timely generate the initial written notice of Owner’s opinion of the Market Conditions which triggers
the negotiation period of this Section 16.6.3, then Operator may commence such negotiations by providing the initial notice, in which event Owner shall have 15 days (“Owner’s Review Period”) after receipt of Operator’s
notice of the Market Conditions within which to accept such Market Conditions. In the event Owner fails to accept in writing such Market Conditions proposed by Operator, then such proposal shall be deemed rejected, and Owner and Operator shall
attempt in good faith to agree upon such Market Conditions, using their best good faith efforts. If Owner and Operator fail to reach agreement within 15 days following Owner’s Review Period (which shall be, in such event, the “Outside
Agreement Date” in lieu of the above definition of such date), then each Party shall place in a separate sealed envelope its final proposal as to Market Conditions and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the
following paragraph. 
 Owner and Operator shall meet with each other within 5 business days of the Outside Agreement Date and exchange the
sealed envelopes and then open such envelopes in each other’s presence. If Owner and Operator do not mutually agree upon the Market Conditions within 1 business day of the exchange and opening of envelopes, then, within 10 business days of the
exchange and opening of envelopes Owner and Operator shall agree upon and jointly appoint a single arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate lawyer or broker who shall have been active over the 5 year period ending on the date of such
appointment in the leasing of comparable commercial properties on or near the “Las Vegas Strip” in Clark County, Nevada. Neither Owner nor Operator shall consult with such broker or lawyer directly or indirectly as to his or her opinion as
to Market Conditions prior to the appointment. The determination of the arbitrator shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Owner’s or Operator’s submitted Market 

  
 40 








 
Conditions for the applicable F&B Facilities is the closer to the actual Market Conditions for the applicable F&B Facilities as determined by the arbitrator, taking into account the
requirements of this Section 6.16. Such arbitrator may hold such hearings and require such briefs as the arbitrator, in his or her sole discretion, determines is necessary. In addition, Owner or Operator may submit to the arbitrator with a copy
to the other Party within 5 business days after the appointment of the arbitrator any market data and additional information that such Party deems relevant to the determination of Market Conditions (“Market Conditions Data”) and the other
Party may submit a reply in writing within 5 business days after receipt of such Market Conditions Data. The arbitrator shall, within 30 days of his or her appointment, reach a decision as to whether the Parties shall use Owner’s or
Operator’s submitted Market Conditions, and shall notify Owner and Operator of such determination. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon Owner and Operator. If Owner and Operator fail to agree upon and appoint an arbitrator, then
the appointment of the arbitrator shall be made by the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Clark County, Nevada, or, if he or she refuses to act, by any judge having jurisdiction over the Parties. The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Owner
and Operator equally. 
 16.6.4 Licensed Trademarks. Upon a termination in accordance with Section 16.6.1, any successor of the
Business other than a Competitor (a “Non-Competitor Transferee”) resulting from the Transfer giving rise to the termination right may continue operating the Business under the SLS Brand. If such Non-Competitor Transferee elects to continue
operating the Business under the SLS Brand, it shall enter into the SLS Brand Non-Managed License Agreement with Licensor (as defined in the SLS Brand Non-Managed License Agreement) pursuant to which such
Non-Competitor Transferee’s third-party manager shall have the right to use the Hotel Licensed Trademarks in accordance with the terms thereof. Pursuant to the SLS Brand Non-Managed License Agreement, the Non-Competitor Transferee shall pay
Licensor a licensing fee equal to * * * and * * * percent (* * *%) of * * *. In addition, in the event of a termination in accordance with Section 16.6.1, Owner or a Non-Competitor Transferee, as applicable, may elect to continue operating the
F&B Facilities under the F&B Brands in accordance with Section 16.6.2; provided, however, that if Owner or such Non-Competitor Transferee does not elect to continue operating the Business under the SLS Brand, such person may not
elect to continue operating the Bazaar, which is associated exclusively with the SLS Brand. If Owner or such Non-Competitor Transferee so elects to continue operating the F&B Facilities under the F&B Brands, (i) Owner may transfer its
right, title, and interest in the F&B Brand License to the Non-Competitor Transferee, and (ii) the F&B Brand License shall remain in full force and effect following the termination of this Agreement unless such license agreement is
terminated by Owner or the Non-Competitor Transferee in its sole discretion. 
 16.7 Actions To Be Taken on Termination. The
Parties shall take the following actions upon any expiration or termination of this Agreement:

16.7.8 Disassociation; Removal of Trademarks. Subject to Sections 16.5.4 and 16.6.4, Owner shall, at Owner’s expense
(for which, upon Owner’s request, Operator shall reimburse Owner for one-half of Owner’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith), immediately take all steps reasonably requested by Operator to disassociate the

Brand or the F&B Brands.

 16.7.9 Termination Fee. If Owner elects to terminate this Agreement in connection with the
sale of the Business to a bona fide third-party purchaser unrelated in any way to Owner or its equity partners, contemporaneously with the closing of such sale, Owner shall pay to Operator a fixed termination fee in an amount equal to * * * (the

Majeure Event, and reopen or recommence the Operation of the Business when Operator again is able to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and determines that there is no unreasonable risk to the Business or health, safety or welfare or its
guests or Business Personnel. 

  
 52

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, Owner acknowledges and agrees that Operator may, due to local business conditions or

business and ethical practices in commercial operations and in promoting its position or a position of the other Party before any Governmental Authority on issues and matters that directly or indirectly relate to this Agreement. No officer,
director, employee or agent of Owner or Operator, as the case may be, shall pay, offer, promise, or authorise the payment, directly or indirectly, of monies or anything of value to any official or employee of any Governmental Authority (including an
official or employee of any public international organization) or any political party or candidate for political office, for the purpose of: (A) (i) influencing any act or decision of such official in his official capacity,
(ii) causing such official to act or fail to act in violation of his lawful duty, or (iii) securing any improper advantage; or (B) causing the official to influence any act or decision of any Governmental Authority, in order to assist
Owner or Operator, as the case may be, in obtaining or retaining business, or directing business to any person, where such act, decision, business or advantage is in any way or manner whatsoever related to the project contemplated by this Agreement
(any such act being a “Prohibited Payment”). A Prohibited Payment does not include: 
 (a) modest facilitating
payments to low-level employees of a Governmental Authority for the purpose of expediting a service or routine administrative action ordinarily performed by such employees, provided the recipient of such service or action is entitled to receive such
service or action; or 
 (b) the payment of reasonable and bona fide expenditures, such as travel and lodging expenses, which
are directly related to the promotion, demonstration or explanation of products or services, or the execution or performance of a contract with a foreign government or agency thereof; provided such payments are permissible under Applicable Law and
customer guidelines. 
 19.12.2 Each of Owner and Operator covenants that it will not seek to avoid its obligations under this
Section 19.12 by hiring one or more third parties with whom such party may interact to perform actions that otherwise would be prohibited under this provision had they been performed directly by Owner or Operator, as the case may be. 

19.12.3 If any employee of Owner or Operator, as the case may be, violates or causes Operator or Owner, as the case may be, to violate the
provisions of the FCPA, regardless 

  
 53 








 
of U.S. jurisdiction over the activity, or if any such employee has become the subject of a government investigation or prosecution under the FCPA, the OECD Convention on Combating Corruption in
International Business Transactions, or any local anti-corruption law for any other transaction, then upon request of Operator, Owner or Operator, as the case may be, shall immediately terminate the employment of such employee. 

19.12.4 Each of Owner and Operator represents and warrants to the other Party that no government official or any candidate for political
office has any direct or indirect ownership or investment interest in the revenues or profit of Owner or Operator, as the case may be, or the Business or Casino. 

19.13 Governmental Approvals; Compliance with Governmental Authorities. 

19.13.1 This Agreement and all other agreements contemplated herein shall be executed subject to all required approvals and authorizations, if

 19.13.2 If any Governmental Authority requires, as a condition of its approval or
authorization, the modification of any terms or provisions of this Agreement, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such request; provided, however, that if such requested modification would have a material and
adverse effect with respect to any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, then such Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the other Party within 30 days after receipt of such request for
modification, with no liability whatsoever to either Party for such termination.

promptly comply with the Governmental Authority’s requirement. 
 ARTICLE 20 

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS 

20.1 Compliance with Applicable Laws. Operator shall operate the Business and otherwise perform its obligations hereunder in
compliance with Applicable Laws. Owner shall perform its obligations hereunder in compliance with Applicable Laws. Operator shall, in consultation with Owner and the operator of the Casino, promulgate such reasonable rules and regulations relating

rights under this Agreement, (ii) shall conform with Applicable Laws, and (iii) shall be provided to Owner and the operator of the Casino prior to their implementation. Operator, Owner or the operator of the Casino may propose amendments
to the rules and regulations from time to time, subject to the standards set forth above, which amendments shall become effective if approved by the Parties and the operator of the Casino. 

20.2 Termination of Business Personnel. Operator shall terminate any Business Personnel at the reasonable request of either
Owner or the operator of the Casino, unless such 

  
 54 








 
termination violates any applicable collective bargaining agreement or Applicable Law or would, in Operator’s good faith belief, constitute wrongful termination under any Applicable Law.
Notwithstanding the above, Operator shall terminate any Business Personnel (i) whose dismissal is required by any Governmental Authority, (ii) who has committed any terminable offense under the internal rules and regulations of Owner or
the operator of the Casino, (iii) who has committed any terminable offense under the rules and regulations promulgated by Operator with regard to operation of the Business, or (iv) whose continued employment is deemed likely to, as
determined in good faith by the Owner or operator of the Casino, (a) preclude or delay, impede, jeopardize or impair the ability of Owner or the operator of the Casino to obtain or retain any gaming or other privileged licenses, (b) result
in the imposition terms and conditions on any such gaming or other privileged licenses, (c) subject Owner or the operator of the Casino to any disciplinary proceedings by the Gaming Authority, or (d) constitute a violation of the Gaming
Laws. 
 20.3 Role of Principal. Owner expects and Operator agrees that all preparatory work for the Business will receive
direct input from Operator and that commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement, Operator’s Senior Vice President of Development will make himself available at such reasonable times after reasonable notice and locations as Owner shall
reasonably request to consult with Owner relating to the concept, design and remodel of the Business. 
 20.4 Guest Claims.
Operator acknowledges that the Owner operates a first-class resort/hotel/casino facility and that the maintenance of Owner’s reputation and the goodwill of all of Owner’s guests and invitees are absolutely essential to Owner and that any
impairment thereof whatsoever will cause great damage to Owner. Operator therefore covenants and agrees that Operator will courteously and promptly (within a reasonable period after notification from Owner) respond to any guest related claim (e.g.,
bodily injury, personal property damage, missing property, and/or guest illness), whether formal or informal, related to the Business and/or Operator’s acts, omissions or negligence (or the acts, omissions or negligence of Operator’s
agents, subcontractors, or employees) in connection with Operator’s operation of the Business. In addition, Operator agrees to diligently and courteously handle and process such claims in accordance with the highest standards of honesty,
integrity, quality and courtesy so as to maintain and enhance the reputation and goodwill of Owner and its resort/hotel/casino facility. Without limiting the foregoing, Operator shall send a copy of any and all correspondence or documents in
connection with such claims to Owner and shall periodically give Owner a written update of the status of all such claims. All such correspondence, documents and updates shall be sent to SLS Las Vegas, Attn: Legal Department, 2535 S. Las Vegas
Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109. If Operator fails after notice from Owner to satisfy the requirements of this Article and it becomes necessary for Owner to handle one or more of such guest claims, then Operator will reimburse Owner for any and
all reasonable costs and expenses Owner incurs in connection with such claims, including, but not limited to, any labor costs. Owner will be diligent in providing any and all information to Operator in relation to such claims. 

20.5 Security and Documentation of Incidents. Subject to the Employee Lease Agreement, the following provisions shall govern the
provision of security services and documentation of incidents in connection with the Business: 
 20.5.1 Operator’s security department
and security officers shall be responsible for providing security services in the Business. 

  
 55 








 20.5.2 Operator shall at all times during the term of the Agreement fully Document each Incident
(both as defined herein) occurring in, or in connection with, the Business. For purposes of this Agreement, “Incident” means any injury, illness, accident, altercation, sexual misconduct, fight, trespass, arrest, similar event involving
illegal or illicit conduct, or any other matter that should be documented, or suspicion or suppression of, or alleged by, any person in, or in connection with, the Business; and “Document” means to complete and retain, promptly following
an Incident, thorough and accurate security incident reports, medical evaluations, witness statements (both of Operator’s employee’s and Operator’s patrons) and recordings in whatever format, including, but not limited to, video
tapes, CD-ROMs and DVDs, if applicable, of the Incident (collectively, the “Documentation”). In the event of an Incident, Operator shall, to the extent any persons involved with or witnessing such Incident cooperate, fully Document the
Incident. Operator shall (a) within a reasonable period of each Incident, notify Owner in writing of such Incident and (b) upon request from Owner, forthwith deliver to Owner a full and complete copy of all Documentation for an Incident.
In addition, Operator shall as soon as reasonably possible notify Owner and, if so requested by Owner, the operator of the Casino, in the event that (x) a physical altercation has taken place in, or in connection with, the Business,
(y) Operator has called for the police, fire department and/or emergency medical technicians/paramedics to respond to an incident in the Business, or (z) Operator is preparing to eject someone from the Business (regardless of the reason).
In the event of an ejection pursuant to clause (z) above, Operator shall notify Owner of such ejection as soon as reasonably possible, which the Owner acknowledges might be after any such ejection has occurred. 

20.6 Regulatory and Owner Policies and Procedures. Operator acknowledges receiving the following (attached hereto as Exhibits F,
G, H, and I, respectively): (a) Letter dated October 15, 2009 from the Department of Business License, Clark County addressed to nightclub owners, etc.; (b) Memorandum dated February 7, 2006 from the Nevada State Gaming Control
Board addressed to all non-restricted Licensees and Interested Persons on the subject of “Nightclub Activities and Entertainment Selection”; (c) Memorandum dated April 9, 2009 from the Nevada State Gaming Control Board to all
non-restricted Licensees and Interested Parties on the subject of “Nightclubs, Ultra Lounges, European Pools and Similar Venues”; and (d) Notice dated March 21, 2013 from the Nevada State Gaming Control Board to all
non-restricted Licensees and Interested Parties on the subject of “Nightclubs, Day Clubs, Party Pools, Ultra Lounges, and Similar Venues.” Operator shall at all times operate the Business to ensure compliance with (i) the contents of
(a), (b), (c), and (d) above, as such may be amended or modified in the future and (ii) any directions, guidance, input or the like received from a Gaming Authority. 

20.7 Privileged Licenses. 

20.7.1 Each of the Parties (in such capacity, the “Acknowledging Party”) acknowledges that the other Party and its Affiliates (in
such capacity, collectively, the “Licensed Party”) are businesses that are or may be subject to and exist because of privileged licenses issued by Governmental Authorities. If requested to do so by the Licensed Party, then the


  
 56 








 
Acknowledging Party, and its agents, employees, subcontractors, and representatives, shall obtain any license, qualification, clearance or the like that shall be requested or required of any of
them by the Licensed Party or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over either Party. If the Acknowledging Party, or any of its agents, employees, subcontractors, or representatives, fails to satisfy such requirement; or if the Licensed
Party is directed to cease business with the Acknowledging Party, or its agents, employees, subcontractors, or representatives, by any Governmental Authority; or if the Licensed Party shall in good faith determine, in its sole and exclusive
judgment, that the Acknowledging Party, or any of its agents, employees, subcontractors, or representatives, (a) is or might be engaged in, or is about to be engaged in, any activity or activities, or (b) was or is involved in any
relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize the Licensed Party’s business or other licenses, or those of any Affiliate of the Licensed Party; or if any such license is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked;
then, in any of the above cases, this Agreement may be immediately terminated by the Licensed Party without further liability between the Parties other than payment of any accrued but unpaid fees; provided, however, that in the event such activity
or relationship involves an individual with whom the Acknowledging Party is associated and the Acknowledging Party terminates such activity or association to the satisfaction of the Governmental Authority, then the Licensed Party shall not terminate
this Agreement. 
 20.7.2 Further, Operator 

(a) acknowledges its understanding that it is illegal for (i) a denied gaming license applicant, (ii) an
“excluded person” (as defined in Nevada Gaming Regulation 28.020(2)), (iii) a person found unsuitable by the Nevada State Gaming Control Board or Nevada Gaming Commission, (iv) a revoked gaming licensee, or (v) a business
organization under the control of any person described in clauses (i) through (iv) to enter or attempt to enter into a contract with Owner, its parent company, subsidiaries or any affiliate, without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming
Commission; 
 (b) affirms that Operator and each of its Affiliates is not such a person and is not under the control of such
a person; and 
 (c) agrees that this Agreement is subject to immediate termination by Owner, without further liability to
Operator, if Operator or any of its Affiliates is or becomes such a person or is under the control of such a person. 
 20.8
Conduct. Operator and Owner acknowledge that Operator and Owner, their respective parent company(ies), subsidiaries and affiliates, have reputations for offering high quality entertainment and/or services to the public and that they
and their parent company(ies), subsidiaries and Affiliates are subject to regulation and licensing and desire to maintain their reputation and receive positive publicity. Owner and Operator each therefore agrees that throughout the term of this
Agreement, their respective directors, officers and managers will not conduct themselves in a manner which is contrary to the best interests of, nor in any manner that materially and adversely affects or is materially detrimental to, the other party
hereto, their respective parent company(ies), subsidiaries or Affiliates, and will not directly or indirectly make any oral, written or recorded private or public statement or comment that is materially disparaging, critical, defamatory or otherwise
not in the best interests of the other party or their respective parent company(ies), subsidiaries or Affiliates. 

  
 57 








 20.9 Operating Controls. In connection with Owner’s and the operator of the
Casino’s privileged licenses with the State of Nevada and Clark County, Nevada, Owner and the operator of the Casino are committed to ensure that its actions do not act as a detriment to the development of gaming industry or reflect discredit
upon Owner, the operator of the Casino, the State of Nevada or the gaming industry in general. Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary and in addition to all other obligations of Operator in this
Agreement, Owner specifically requires of Operator as follows: 
 (a) Operator shall draft, institute and enforce an
operational policy which shall ensure Operator conducts its business in a manner appropriate for a first-class operation and consistent with the regulatory compliance programs of Owner and the operator of the Casino to include, without limitation,
implementation of a “zero tolerance” policy and utilize best efforts to address and prevent: (i) overconsumption of alcoholic beverages; (ii) underage patronage of the Business or purchase or consumption of alcoholic beverages;
(iii) possession, use or sale of illegal substances; (iv) prostitution; (v) assaults by Operator employees, guests or invitees at the Premises, and (vi) improper cash handling or reporting activities by Operator employees.
Operator shall submit such operational policy to Owner for Owner’s (and the operator of the Casino’s review) and Owner’s approval within 120 days from the execution of this Agreement. 

(b) Operator shall keep accurate books and records with respect to compliance with all federal, state, county and city laws,
ordinances and regulations relative to, and otherwise implement those controls appropriate for, the operations of Operator’s businesses and the employment of Operator’s employees including, without limitation, payroll records, tip
reporting, pooling and distribution records, register bank reconciliations, compliance records (including but not limited to alcohol awareness cards, health cards, OSHA training, certifications, etc.), and violations of its operational policy. 

(c) Operator shall coordinate all aspects of its operations with Owner and the operator of the Casino management and staff to
ensure compliance with Owner’s and/or the operator of the Casino’s regulatory compliance programs to include, without limitation, coordination of Operator’s security program with the operator of the Casino’s security program
(including the utilization, of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police) for implementing appropriate handling of guests and invitees within the Premises. 

(d) In furtherance of the foregoing, Owner specifically reserves the following rights (but not the obligation), at all times
and without notice, to: 
 (i) enter upon the Premises to inspect Operator’s operations (and with respect to such operational
inspections, such inspections may be either announced or unannounced at the election of Operator), books, records and any other documentation of any kind or nature whatsoever or interview any Operator employee, guest or invitee deemed necessary by
Owner in Owner’s discretion to ensure compliance with this Section or any other operational obligations of Operator under this Agreement or to ensure compliance with all federal, state, county and city laws, ordinances and regulations relative
to operations of Operator’s businesses and the employment of Operator’s employees; 

  
 58 








 (ii) at Owner’s cost, to post Owner’s or the operator of the Casino’s employees
or other designees (which may, at Owner’s option, include Owner requiring Operator to post Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officers) within the Premises in such amounts and in such locations as Owner or the operator of the Casino shall reasonably
determine to ensure compliance with this Section or any other operational obligations of Operator under this Agreement or to otherwise ensure compliance with all federal, state, county and city laws, ordinances and regulations relative to the
operations of Operator’s businesses and the employment of Operator’s employees, provided that any costs associated with actions taken pursuant to this Section shall only be deemed an Operating Expense if Owner or the operator of the Casino
reasonably believes that Operator has violated the requirements of this Article 20; and 
 (iii) at Owner’s cost, and in addition to
the training otherwise set forth in this Agreement, require Operator to attend and complete (including Operator’s employees, agents and servants) Owner or the operator of the Casino directed training programs concerning the obligations of this
Section, provided that any costs associated with actions taken pursuant to this Section shall only be deemed an Operating Expense if Owner or the operator of the Casino reasonably believes that Operator has violated the requirements of this Article
20.

 SLS BRAND NON-MANAGED 

LICENSE AGREEMENT 
 (Third-Party
Managed) 
 This SLS BRAND NON-MANAGED LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between SBE Hotel
Licensing, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Licensor”), and Stockbridge/SBE Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Licensee”), and has an effective date, as of
                 , 20     (the “Effective Date”). Licensor and Licensee may be referred to herein collectively as the “Parties”
and individually as a “Party”. 
 RECITALS 

WHEREAS, Licensor is the owner of all right, title and interest in and to the trademarks and copyrights for the SLS Hotel® brand (the
“Brand”) including without limitation the trademarks (a term that is used herein to include without limitation trademarks for goods, service marks for services, and trade names for businesses) and copyrights listed in Exhibit A, as may be
supplemented from time-to-time by Licensor upon the written request of Licensor, acting in Licensor’s sole and absolute discretion, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Licensee (collectively, the “SLS Intellectual
Property”); and 
 WHEREAS, Licensee desires to use the SLS Intellectual Property in connection with the operation of a hotel named the
“SLS Las Vegas”, located at 2535 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 (the “Hotel”); 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 

1. 
 License

 1.1 Grant of License. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, effective on the Effective
Date, Licensor grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-sublicenesable, and non-transferable (except as provided herein) license to use the SLS Intellectual Property for the marketing, operation, and/or management of the Hotel (the
“License”). Licensee shall: (a) use the SLS Intellectual Property only in accordance with this Agreement; (b) not assert or acquire any ownership or other rights in the SLS Intellectual Property other than the License expressly
granted in this Agreement; (c) not take any action or assist any other person or entity in taking any action to contest Licensor’s proprietary interest in the SLS Intellectual Property; and (d) refrain from knowingly undertaking any
acts or omissions that infringe upon or tarnish the SLS Intellectual Property. The effectiveness of this License shall be contingent upon continued performance by Licensee of all its obligations under this Agreement. 

1.2 Reserved Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon Licensee by implication, estoppel or
otherwise, any rights or license, including, without limitation, any right or license under intellectual property rights, except for the rights and licenses expressly and unequivocally granted hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, this 







 
Agreement expressly grants to Licensee, the ability to produce, manufacture, distribute and sell, exclusively at any branded-product retail stores located within the Hotel (collectively, the
“Logo Store”), products containing or bearing the Brand or the SLS Intellectual Property. All rights in the SLS Intellectual Property other than those specifically granted in this Agreement are reserved by Licensor for its own use and
benefit and/or for the benefit of Licensor. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict, impair, limit or otherwise affect Licensor (or any third party authorized by Licensor) from using or exploiting the SLS
Intellectual Property in any manner whatsoever. 
 1.3 Use of License. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither
Licensor nor its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, utilize, or allow a third party (other than Licensee) to utilize, the SLS Intellectual Property in connection with any restaurant, hotel, casino or nightclub located in Clark County, Nevada
(the “Restricted Territory”), without the prior written approval of Licensee, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein and in the Transaction Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the restrictions of this
Section 1.3 prevent or in any way limit the rights of Licensor or its affiliates or any third party from marketing, advertising or otherwise promoting within the Restricted Territory any restaurant, hotel, casino or nightclub which is located
outside the Restricted Territory. For example, Licensor shall have the right to market or promote the “SLS at Beverly Hills” at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino or any other location within the Restricted Territory. 

1.4 Hotel Name. During the Term (as defined in Section 9.1 below), the Hotel will be named and identified only as
the “SLS Las Vegas”, or such other name as approved in writing by Licensor. Licensee will use no other names or trademarks to identify the Hotel without Licensor’s prior written approval, which approval may be granted or withheld in
Licensor’s sole and absolute discretion. Licensee will not use the SLS Intellectual Property, or any portion thereof, in or as a part of its corporate, partnership or other business entity or trade name. 

1.5 No Rights Granted to Others. No third party shall have the right or claim to use the SLS Intellectual Property as a result
of this Agreement. 
 2. 

Fees and Other Payments 

2.1 License Fee. Commencing on and accruing from and after the Effective Date, and as consideration for the use of the SLS

2.4 Place and Means of Payment. All fees and other amounts due to Licensor or its affiliates under this Agreement shall be paid
to Licensor in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the location(s) specified in writing by Licensor from time to time. 

2.5 Application of Payments. All payments by Licensee pursuant to this Agreement, and any related agreements, shall be applied
as designated by Licensor, in its sole and absolute 







 
discretion. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that (a) Licensee may not designate an order for application of any fees different from that designated by Licensor, and (b) Licensor may
accept fees paid pursuant to different instructions without any obligation to follow such instructions, even if such payment is made by its terms conditional on such instructions being followed. This provision may be waived only by written agreement
signed by Licensor, which written agreement must be separate from the check or other document constituting payment. No restrictive endorsement on any check or in any communication accompanying or relating to any payment to Licensor or its affiliates
shall be binding, and acceptance of such payment shall not constitute an accord and satisfaction.

Licensor’s designated agent(s) shall, at any time throughout the Term of this Agreement, but upon no less than five (5) business days’ notice to Licensee, at Licensor’s expense (subject to the provisions set forth herein below),
have the right to audit and verify both the books and records of Licensee and the operations of the Hotel. Licensor shall also be entitled to conduct spot audits or examinations of the Hotel with three (3) business days prior notice from time
to time. If, during the course of any audit conducted by Licensor or its designated agent, Licensee’s Net Operating Revenues are found to be understated by more than * * * and * * * percent (* * *%), then Licensee must reimburse Licensor (out
of Licensee’s own funds) for all costs and fees incurred by Licensor in connection with such audit, as well as correct the misstatements and, if applicable, pay any incremental amounts owing to Licensor as shown by such audit. Licensor shall
not be responsible for failure to discover any defalcations during any audit or inspection of Licensee’s financial records. Any audit and verification pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be conducted in such a fashion as to interfere as
little as reasonably practicable with Licensee’s normal business operations. Licensee shall cooperate fully in the conduct of any such audits and shall provide Licensor or its designated agent with complete and unfettered access to all records,
manuals, systems, procedures and other information reasonably deemed by Licensor or its designated agent to be relevant to the audit (all of which records, manuals, systems, procedures and other relevant information Licensor and/or its designated

affiliates of Licensor or in connection with the sale of the Hotel or the appointment of a new Hotel Manager. Licensee, at all times during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter, shall protect the confidentiality of the Licensor Proprietary
Information and shall not communicate or make the Licensor Proprietary Information available to, or use it for the benefit of, any unauthorized persons or entities. If Licensee or any of its affiliates receives a request to disclose any Licensor
Proprietary Information by subpoena, oral question, interrogatory, request for information or documents, civil investigative demand, order, or similar process from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York or California Attorney
General, the Nevada Gaming Commission or any other applicable regulatory agency or governmental authority or from Licensee’s direct or indirect investors, owners or partners, Licensee shall: (i) promptly notify Licensor; (ii) consult
with Licensor on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such request; and (iii) if disclosure is required or deemed advisable, cooperate with Licensor in any attempt Licensor may make to obtain an order or other assurance that

Agreement for any reason whatsoever, Licensee shall promptly, to the extent reasonably practicable return to Licensor all Licensor Proprietary Information in tangible form that Licensee received from or on behalf of Licensor or Licensor and shall
not retain any copies or extracts therefrom. This Section 3.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 4. 

License Standards; Use of Intellectual Property 

4.1 Standards. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that use of the SLS Intellectual Property by Licensee can have a substantial
adverse affect on the reputation of, and goodwill associated with the Brand and SLS Intellectual Property. Licensee acknowledges that strict compliance with the License Standards (as defined below) is necessary to protect and enhance the value of
the Brand and SLS Intellectual Property and the associated goodwill. Therefore, unless permitted otherwise, Licensee agrees that use of the Brand and SLS Intellectual Property under this Agreement shall at all times be: (a) of a quality and
design standards consistent with standards maintained by the Licensor or its affiliates for the Brand in other locations to the extent the same are currently in use; (b) in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and
(c)







 
with respect to the operation of the Hotel, at a level of service which is at least generally consistent with those standards evidenced, represented and exemplified by the operation of the Hotel
(as a whole and not with respect to isolated events or instances) immediately prior to the Effective Date (collectively, the “License Standards”). 

4.2 Ongoing Quality Control and Inspections. For quality control evaluation and monitoring purposes, at Licensor’s request,
Licensee shall provide to Licensor, at no cost to the Licensor, representative samples of collateral materials and other items using, displaying, embodying, advertising, promoting, commercializing, or otherwise exploiting the Brand or SLS
Intellectual Property, and permit Licensor to inspect at mutually convenient dates and time, any premises on which the Brand or SLS Intellectual Property is being used (the “Branded Premises”). Licensor may take photographs and video of
the interior and exterior of the Branded Premises and may use such photographs and video for such purposes as advertising, promotional, training, marketing, and public relations, without any compensation to Licensee. 

4.3 Changes to the SLS Intellectual Property. From time to time and at Licensor’s sole and absolute discretion and cost,
Licensor may modify all or any part of the SLS Intellectual Property, so long as such modifications are consistent with those required by Licensor for the Brand as a whole. Licensee further acknowledges that Licensor requires the flexibility to
modify all or any part of the SLS Intellectual Property to respond to market trends, customer demands, economic conditions, technological advances, and other factors affecting the Hotel and Hotel Good and Services under the Brand, as they may change
from time to time. Licensor may designate one or more new, modified or replacement SLS Intellectual Property, without Licensee’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any change to the SLS Intellectual Property that requires
repairs, alterations, improvements, renewals, replacements or additions of or to the structure or exterior façade of the Hotel, or to the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, vertical transport and similar components of the Business
building that are capitalized under GAAP and depreciated as real property and/or replacement of furniture, fixtures, equipment, interior and exterior signs, as well as other improvements and personal property to comply with such change (a
“Physical Standard Change”), Licensee shall address the Physical Standard Change at the time of any repair or replacement of the item that is the subject of the Physical Standard Change so long as the costs required to effect such Physical
Standard Change are not greater than the cost of ordinary repair or replacement of a like item. For purposes of illustration, if the white sheets are being replaced in the ordinary course of business and the Physical Standard Change calls for pink
sheets, Owner shall be required to comply with the pink sheets requirement so long as the same would not cost more than replacement of white sheets that complied with this Agreement prior to the modification in question. 

4.4 Licensor’s Promotional Access. Licensor or its representatives, during normal business hours and upon the prior
approval of Licensee, which approval is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, may enter any premises on which the Brand or SLS Intellectual Property is being used (the “Branded Premises”) accompanied by a representative
of Licensee and may take photographs and videotapes of the exterior and interior of such Branded Premises. Licensor may use such photographs and videotapes for such purposes as advertising, promotional, training, marketing and public relations,
without any compensation to Licensee. 







 4.5 Licensor’s Inspection Rights. In order to ensure compliance with the
License Standards, Licensee shall (a) upon twenty-four (24) hours’ advance notice from Licensor, permit Licensor (and/or its designee) to enter the Hotel, including, without limitation, unoccupied guest rooms and/or residences, lobby,
restaurant, recreational, spa, back of the house and other facilities, at any reasonable time during normal business hours, to conduct inspections; (b) cooperate with such inspections by rendering such assistance as Licensor (and/or its
designee) may reasonably request; and (c) upon notice from Licensor, promptly take such steps as may be necessary to correct any deficiencies (including, without limitation, any departures from the License Standards) noted during any such
inspection; provided, however, that any deficiencies and/or variances from the License Standards that were permitted to exist prior to the Effective Date with respect to operations under the SLS Brand (“Existing Variances”), such Existing
Variances shall continue to be permitted, and shall not be required to be corrected, under this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, Existing Variances shall expressly exclude any then existing deficiencies and/or variances which (i) were
existing prior to the Effective Date and remain uncured after being notified by Licensor; or (ii) were caused by the then owner’s and/or manager’s failure to comply with the applicable capital budget. 

4.6 Refreshment of SLS Intellectual Property. Licensee agrees that on a periodic basis during the Term of this Agreement,
Licensor and Licensee shall meet for the purpose of reviewing the creative elements embodied in the Hotel as well as the physical design of the Hotel premises, with the view to evaluating ideas and concepts to refresh the Hotel. Any new ideas or
concepts to be implemented in the Hotel (involving the use and/or change of any SLS Intellectual Property) shall require the prior written approval of Licensor and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of this Agreement. 

4.7 Alteration, Renovation and Refurbishment of the Hotel. 

4.7.1 If Licensee should elect, or be required by this Agreement, to perform renovations or refurbishment of the Hotel affecting the
design, character or appearance of the Hotel (i.e., other than ordinary repair and/or replacement of existing items or in compliance with applicable law) during the Term of this Agreement, Licensee first shall obtain the reasonable prior written
approval of Licensor that any such work complies with the License Standards (as modified pursuant to Section 4.3, above) for any work greater than $* * * (or $* * * for any work relating solely to the restaurant). Prior to commencing
renovations or refurbishment requiring Licensor approval under this Section 4.7.1, Licensee shall engage a qualified designer and other qualified consultants and cause them to prepare promptly and submit to Licensor for reasonable review and
approval, complete design drawings and specifications based on the License Standards. Licensor shall promptly review the completed design documents submitted by Licensee and return same with its reasonable approval or disapproval within thirty
(30) days of receipt of the completed design drawings and specifications by Licensee. In the event of disapproval, Licensor shall submit reasonable recommendations which Licensee shall thereupon incorporate into such designs and drawings. No
substantial changes shall be made to any designs, drawings and specifications approved by Licensor without the reasonable prior written approval of Licensor. Each Party shall act speedily and in good faith in the preparation, submission, approval
and revision of all of said drawings and specifications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prior written approval of Licensor shall not be required for any renovations or refurbishments of the Hotel that do not affect the License Standards. 







 4.7.2 Licensor shall not be responsible for architecture or engineering, for code, zoning,
or other requirements or laws, ordinances or regulations of any state, local, municipal, urban community, provincial or federal governmental body, including any requirements thereunder relating to disabled persons, or for any errors, omissions, or
discrepancies of any nature in any drawings or specifications. 
 5. 

Approval of Marketing Program and Marketing Materials 

5.1 Licensor’s Approval of Initial Marketing Program. No later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date, and each
year thereafter (no later than November 1st of each year), Licensee, at its own expense, shall prepare and submit to Licensor, for Licensor’s review and approval in Licensor’s
reasonable discretion, the “Marketing Program” for the Hotel, which will, among other things, include: (a) a marketing strategy for the Hotel; (b) all collateral materials and other items using, displaying, embodying,
advertising, promoting, commercializing, or otherwise exploiting the SLS Intellectual Property (the “Marketing Materials”); and (c) a media plan. All Marketing Programs and Marketing Materials shall be of a level of quality in the
industry for comparable hotels of the quality and service of the Hotel and conducted in accordance with the License Standards. 
 5.2
Licensor’s Approval of Marketing Program and Marketing Materials. As set forth in Section 5.3, prior to the implementation of a Marketing Program or the public use or dissemination of any Marketing Materials by Licensee or any
of its affiliates, Licensee must submit such Marketing Program and Marketing Materials to Licensor for its reasonable approval. 
 5.3
Approval Procedure. Licensor shall use reasonable efforts to review and approve or disapprove any of the Marketing Program and Marketing Materials and any other items to be submitted to Licensor for review and approval pursuant to the
terms hereof within ten (10) business days after they are received by Licensor (thirty (30) days in the case of the Marketing Program). If Licensor does not provide notice of approval or rejection within such ten (10) business day
period (or thirty (30) days in the case of the Marketing Program), the materials or program submitted shall be deemed to be disapproved and Licensee may provide a second submittal of the materials or program with a written notice to Licensor
clearly indicating that it constitutes a second submittal of the materials or program (the “Second Request”). Any such Second Request shall include a notice to Licensor that Licensor did not respond to the initial submittal and that
Licensor’s failure to respond ten (10) business days after receiving the Second Request shall be deemed an approval. Licensor shall have ten (10) business days following receipt of the Second Request in which to approve or disapprove
the materials or program submitted. If Licensor fails to do so within such ten (10) business day period, then the materials or program covered by such Second Request shall be deemed approved. Review of these submissions is exclusively for
determination of compliance with the License Standards and the terms of this Agreement, and not for compliance with applicable law, which shall remain the sole and exclusive responsibility of Licensee. If any materials or program is disapproved,
Licensee (if it desires to use such item) shall revise and modify the submission to comply with reasonable issues raised by Licensor; provided, however, that if materials or the program has been deemed disapproved pursuant to the preceding sentence,
Licensee may resubmit such materials or program to Licensor for approval pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.3. If Licensee makes any material changes to any materials or program approved by Licensor, such materials shall be subject to
Licensor’s re-approval in accordance with this Section 5.3. 







 5.4 Ongoing Quality Control. For quality control evaluation and monitoring
purposes, at Licensor’s request, Licensee shall provide to Licensor, at no cost to Licensor, representative samples of the Marketing Materials being used at that time. 

5.5 Licensor’s Approval and Enforcement. Licensor’s retention and exercise of the rights hereunder to review and
approve certain matters or to enforce Licensor’s rights hereunder exist only to protect Licensor’s interest in the SLS Intellectual Property for the benefit of Licensor. Neither the retention nor the exercise of these rights is for the
purpose of establishing any control, or the duty to take control, over those matters that are clearly reserved to Licensee, nor shall they be construed to do so. 

5.6 Hotel Website. Subject to all applicable law, Licensee shall be responsible for the creation of a website dedicated to the
Hotel (the “Hotel Website”), the implementation of which shall be done, in coordination with Licensor’s interactive firm of record, at Licensee’s expense. The form, design, content and operation of the link between the Hotel
Website and the website for the Brand maintained by Licensor shall be determined by Licensor, subject to Licensee’s reasonable approval. The design and content of the Hotel Website, and any proposed changes thereto, shall be subject to
Licensor’s prior review and reasonable approval with respect to compliance with the License Standards. To assist in its review, Licensor shall be provided with “screen shots” of the Hotel Website before it is activated. Licensee shall
use good faith efforts to comply with all applicable privacy laws, rules and regulations regarding the operation of the Hotel Website and the use of any consumer information derived therefrom. Within Licensor’s website that provides the link to
the Hotel Website, Licensor may collect certain data from interested visitors, and any such data shall be the sole property of Licensor, subject to any other agreements between Licensee and Licensor and/or affiliates of Licensor. Within the Hotel
Website, all data obtained solely and directly in connection with the Hotel Website shall be jointly owned by Licensor and Licensee.

exclusive licensor of all right, title and interest in and to the SLS Intellectual Property and the substantial goodwill associated therewith, (b) that Licensee shall acquire no rights in and to the SLS Intellectual Property, or the goodwill
associated therewith by virtue of this Agreement and licenses granted hereunder, (c) that Licensee shall not represent in any manner that Licensee has acquired any ownership rights whatsoever in the SLS Intellectual Property, (d) that any
and all use of the SLS Intellectual Property by Licensee shall inure to the exclusive benefit of Licensor, (e) that Licensor may use and grant to others the right to the SLS Intellectual Property, except as expressly provided otherwise in this
Agreement or any other agreement between Licensee and Licensor and/or affiliates of Licensor, and (f) the restrictions and limitations with respect to Licensee’s use of the SLS Intellectual Property apply to all forms and formats now in
existence or hereafter conceived, including print video, electronic, and other media, and all other elements used in commerce. 
 7.2
Intellectual Property Notices. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement, Licensee shall strictly adhere to any usage guidelines for the SLS Intellectual Property that Licensor imposes from time to time in its sole
and absolute discretion including, without limitation, any guidelines relating to the form and manner in which the SLS Intellectual Property is displayed or embodied, and any guidelines relating to trademark notices, copyright notices, or other
proprietary legends or markings. 
 7.3 Restrictions. Licensee shall not: (a) identify itself as the owner of the SLS
Intellectual Property or any right, title or interest therein or on any registration or application for registration thereof, except as a licensee, (b) apply for or maintain the registration of any trademark or copyright relating to the SLS
Intellectual Property anywhere in the world, (c) apply for or maintain the registration of any trademark which is the same as, confusingly similar to, or which incorporates the SLS Intellectual Property, anywhere in the world, and (d) take
any action whatsoever to contest Licensor’s proprietary interest in the SLS Intellectual Property. Licensee shall not use the SLS Intellectual Property in any manner for any purpose whatsoever in (i) its legal name or another trade or
assumed name under which Licensee does business; (ii) any publication or other materials or information disseminated to the general public except to the extent used in a factual or descriptive manner to identify the Hotel or as otherwise
permitted under this Agreement; or (iii) any prospectus, offering, circular or other form of marketing materials except to the extent used in a factual or descriptive manner to identify the Hotel or in connection with a sale of the Hotel or
the marketing of the Hotel for sale, without Licensor’s prior written consent (in each instance described in clauses (i) through (iii) above), and then only as expressly permitted in such consent (and subject to any such
restrictions and/or conditions set forth therein). Licensee acknowledges and agrees that no default by Licensor under this Agreement, or the expiration or termination of this Agreement, shall confer on Licensee or any Person claiming by or through
Licensee, any right or remedy to use the SLS Intellectual Property. 
 7.4 Infringement. If Licensee learns of any third party
trademark which is likely to cause confusion with or dilute the SLS Intellectual Property, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor in writing with all the necessary particulars known to Licensee. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that ultimately
Licensor shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to determine what, if any, action to take against the third party including, without 







 
limitation, whether to institute and prosecute any actions or proceedings against the third party. Licensee shall cooperate, subject to reimbursement by Licensor for all material costs, with and
provide assistance to Licensor as reasonably requested in investigating the activities of the third party and in enforcing its rights in the SLS Intellectual Property against the third party, executing, acknowledging and delivering all documents as
may be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable Licensor to protect, defend, or register its proprietary interest in any of the SLS Intellectual Property. Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Licensor and its affiliates in
taking such reasonable action (at Licensor’s sole cost and expense) as Licensor may request to stop such activities, but shall take no action nor incur any expenses on Licensor’s behalf without Licensor’s prior written approval.
Licensor shall have the right to select legal counsel and control all litigation with respect to any action brought against the Hotel, Hotel Manager, Licensee, or Licensor by a third party with respect to the SLS Intellectual Property. If Licensor
undertakes the defense or prosecution of any litigation relating to the SLS Intellectual Property, Licensee shall execute any and all documents and take or not take such other actions as may, in the opinion of Licensor’s legal counsel, be
reasonably necessary to carry out such defense or prosecution, and Licensor shall reimburse Licensee for its actual out-of-pocket expenses in taking any such actions. 

7.5 Trademark Notice. Licensee shall use the expression “the trademark SLS used under license” or any reasonable
equivalent thereof as required by any applicable law and/or whenever such may be used with reasonable convenience, consistent with such uses that are typical in the operation of facilities similar to the Hotel, in conjunction with any and all
advertising and promotional materials used in connection with the Hotel, the Brand and the SLS Intellectual Property. 
 7.6
Trademark Designation. Licensee shall: (a) use a notice of trademark and/or service mark registration conforming to law directly after the Brand (e.g., ®), (b) use the designation “SM” or “TM” directly
after the Brand in connection with any unregistered use of the Brand in conjunction with the SLS Intellectual Property, as reasonably appropriate, and (c) use the copyright notice as reasonably appropriate (e.g., ©) on copyrightable
materials included among the License. Upon Licensor’s addition of any new marks or designs to Exhibit A, such marks or designs shall also bear the appropriate notice. 

8.  

Representations and Warranties 

8.1 Licensee Acknowledgement. Because uniformity may not always be possible or desirable, Licensor, at its discretion, may vary
the License Standards for other properties or developments that utilize the SLS Intellectual Property to the extent reasonably required by the physical conditions of a location or to comply with applicable law. 

8.2 Representations of the Parties. Each of Licensor and Licensee represent as to itself as follows: 

8.2.1 It has been duly organized and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization. 







 8.2.2 It is duly qualified to do business in all jurisdictions which require such

 8.2.3 It has the power and authority to enter into and
perform its respective obligations created by this Agreement. 
 8.2.4 This Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary
action on its part and has been duly executed and delivered by it.

it, nor compliance by it with any of the provisions hereof, will: (a) violate or conflict with any provision of its organizational documents, (b) violate, alone or with notice or the passage of time, result in the breach or Termination

any decree, order, injunction, judgment or award against, or binding upon, it, or (d) violate any law relating to it. 
 9. 

 Term and Termination 

9.1 Term. Subject to the termination provisions below, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence as of
the Effective Date and shall continue until the * * * anniversary of the date upon which the Hotel reopened for business to the general public unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.

9.2.1 The Parties may terminate this Agreement by mutual consent in writing at any time. 

9.2.2 Licensor shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice delivered to Licensee if Licensee engages
in an intentional material unauthorized use of the SLS Intellectual Property and fails to cure such unauthorized use within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of the unauthorized use. 

9.2.3 Licensor shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice delivered to Licensee if Licensee fails to
comply with any applicable law and Licensee fails to cure such noncompliance within thirty (30) days after Licensee’s receipt of written notice of the noncompliance, or, if such noncompliance cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty

9.2.4 Licensor shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to Licensee if: (a) a
material breach occurs which is of the same nature, and which violates the same provision of this Agreement, as a breach of which Licensor has given Licensee written notice two (2) times within the preceding eighteen (18) months

notice thereof to Licensee. 
 9.2.5 Licensor shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice delivered
to Licensee if Licensee commences or becomes the subject of any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law, or if a court appoints an administrator, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) for
Licensee or for a substantial part of its property and any such involuntary proceeding or appointment is not discharged within forty-five (45) days; or Licensee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors. 

9.2.6 Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the
“Lockout Period”) upon no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Licensor and upon payment to Licensor, on the effective date of such termination (the “Early Termination Date”) and as full compensation to
Licensor, the Early Termination Fee (as defined below). The “Early Termination Fee” shall equal * * *.

 9.3.1 Immediately upon termination or expiration of this Agreement

 9.3.2 Any
Termination shall not relieve Licensee from any obligations which accrued prior to the date of Termination. 
 9.3.3 Licensee shall,
upon Termination, take every action and execute all such documents, if any, as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect the termination of any rights acquired by Licensee under this Agreement, including, without limitation: 

(a) Pay all sums, charges and fees to which Licensor is entitled to receive under this Agreement, together with costs and expenses, if any,
reimbursable to it pursuant to this Agreement or for which it may be responsible arising out of anything done within the scope of its responsibilities under this Agreement. The amount of all such sums, charges and fees shall be ascertained for the
period ending on the date of such Termination and shall be paid to Licensor to the extent ascertained on the date of such Termination, on such date, and, additionally, Licensee shall deposit with Licensor an amount reasonably estimated by Licensor
that will be sufficient to cover amounts that will become due and payable after the Termination or expiration date, attributable to the period prior to that are not ascertained on the date of such Termination; 

(b) Cease marketing and/or operation of the Hotel as the “SLS Las Vegas” (or other such name as set forth in Section 1.4) and

 (c) Except as authorized pursuant to separate and continuing agreements, cease using the SLS
Intellectual Property, and return, destroy, or alter in a manner satisfactory to Licensor (i) all brochures, advertising and promotional and all other printed materials containing the SLS Intellectual Property, and (ii) all signs,
operating supplies, equipment, and other items containing the SLS Intellectual Property. Licensee will use commercially reasonable efforts to cover anything bearing the SLS Intellectual Property or otherwise identified as being associated with the
Brand which cannot be removed on the expiration or Termination date until it can be removed. Notwithstanding the above, Licensee, if requested by Licensor, will sell to Licensor any such items at Licensee’s cost; and 

(d) Cancel any assumed or fictitious name or equivalent registration and sign a statement acknowledging the Termination or expiration of, or
take the appropriate steps to terminate any similar agreement. 
 9.3.4 Licensee shall, upon Termination of this Agreement, on its

the distribution, release and use of such items until the SLS Intellectual Property appearing thereon are deleted or removed. 
 10. 

 Bankruptcy 

10.1 The Parties acknowledge and agree that any delay in the decision of a debtor-in-possession or trustee of the bankruptcy estate to
assume or reject the Agreement (the “Decision Period”) materially harms Licensor by interfering with their ability to alternatively exploit the rights granted under this Agreement during a Decision Period of uncertain duration. The Parties
recognize that arranging appropriate alternative exploitation of the licensed Intellectual Property is a time consuming and expensive process and that it is unreasonable for Licensor to endure a Decision Period of extended uncertainty. Therefore,
the Parties agree that the Decision Period shall not exceed sixty (60) days. 
 10.2 Notwithstanding the above, if Licensee
commences or becomes the subject of any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, or if a court appoints an administrator, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) for Licensee
or for a substantial part of its property, Licensee agrees to reimburse Licensor for all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses, including travel expenses, photocopying expenses, court and deposition transcript expenses, and
other court costs and related expenses, which Licensor may incur in protecting its rights under this Agreement. 
 11.  

Assignment 
 11.1
Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor the license or any other rights granted hereunder may be directly or indirectly assigned, sublicensed, sold, or transferred by Licensee without the written approval of Licensor, and any such
attempted assignment, sublicense, sale, transfer, hypothecation or encumbrance, whether voluntary, by operation of law or otherwise, 







 
shall be void and of no force or effect; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any assignment, sale, or transfer in connection with the sale of the Hotel shall not
require the approval of Licensor. Licensor, on the other hand, may freely assign, upon notice to Licensee both this Agreement and Licensor’s rights, duties, and obligations under this Agreement to another. Licensor shall have the right
to approve any (a) transfer of direct or indirect legal and/or beneficial interest in a Licensee or in any owner or owners of Licensee which results in the transfer of 50% or more of the direct or indirect ownership interests or voting power in
Licensee, or (b) any change in actual or effective control of Licensee; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor shall have no approval rights for any such transfer or change in actual or effective control in connection
with the sale of the Hotel or for any transfer permitted under that certain Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Agreement dated as of June 20, 2011 between affiliates of both Licensor and Licensee (as may be amended from time to time).
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Parties, Licensor’s successors and assigns and Licensee’s permitted successors and assigns. 

11.2 Bankruptcy Option. If notwithstanding the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and any objections by Licensor,
any bankruptcy or insolvency law permits a trustee or debtor-in-possession to assume this Agreement and the trustee or debtor proposes to assign this Agreement to a third person, the trustee or debtor will give Licensor written notice stating the
name and address of the proposed assignee, the proposed consideration for the assignment and all other relevant terms. That notice shall be deemed to constitute the grant to Licensor of an option to have this Agreement assigned to it or to its
designee approved in writing by Licensor for that consideration, or its equivalent in money, upon the terms specified in the notice. This option may be exercised by written notice given to the trustee or debtor within fifteen (15) days after
receipt by both Licensor of the notice, or within such other period as may be deemed appropriate by the bankruptcy court. If Licensor fails to exercise its option, the trustee or debtor may complete the assignment to the proposed assignee named in
its notice and for the consideration and upon the terms specified in it. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to preclude or impair any rights which Licensor may have as a creditor in any such bankruptcy proceeding. 

12.  
 SLS Programs

 12.1 SLS Programs. Licensee acknowledges that (a) Licensor may, from time to time, provide certain programs
and services to all hotels using the SLS Intellectual Property (collectively, the “SLS Programs”), and (b) once in place, the SLS Programs will be an essential element in maintaining conformity among hotels using the SLS Intellectual
Property. Any SLS Programs to be provided under this Agreement may be provided by Licensor or an affiliate, or by a third party designated by Licensor or an affiliate. 

12.2 Mandatory SLS Programs. Except as otherwise expressly agreed (in writing) between Licensee and Licensor and/or affiliates
of Licensor, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Hotel shall participate in all SLS Programs designated by Licensor as “mandatory” for all hotels using the SLS Intellectual Property which may include from time to time, a
referral and/or reservations system, a marketing program and a loyalty program, and (b) Licensee shall pay or reimburse Licensor all costs and expenses actually incurred in rendering such SLS 







 
Programs (the “SLS Program Charges”) for, and comply with all terms and requirements of, such mandatory SLS Programs. Changes in system programs and services applicable to the Hotel
shall be effective no earlier than thirty (30) days after the earlier of the announcement thereof. In no event shall the Hotel be required to participate in SLS Programs that provide programs or services that are duplicative of programs or
services provided by the Hotel Manager or a third-party licensor so long as the same are reasonably consistent with the License Standards. 

12.3 Optional SLS Programs. Licensee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any SLS Programs that
Licensor, in its discretion, may make available to the Hotel as an optional SLS Program. If Licensee elects to participate in any optional SLS Program, Licensee shall provide notice to Licensor, in which case Licensor shall ensure that such SLS
Programs is made available to Licensee upon Licensee’s purchase and installation of any equipment, software and training of Hotel Personnel and completion of all other requirements for participation, and Licensee shall pay all SLS Program
Charges for, and comply with all terms and requirements of, such optional SLS Program. 
 12.4 System Programs and Services
Charges. The fees and costs charged for the SLS Program Charges shall be reimbursements for actual services rendered (and shall not be charged as a percentage of revenue) and determined on the same basis for substantially all licensed SLS hotels
that are participating in such SLS Programs, and may include (a) * * * and * * * of Licensor’s * * * directly involved in providing the SLS Program, (b) * * * of * * *, * * * and * * * such SLS Program, (c) * * * of * * * and * *
* for such SLS Programs, and (d) * * * of * * * employed in providing the SLS Program. Licensor shall have the right to increase or decrease any or all of the SLS Program Charges from time to time, upon sixty (60) days’ notice to
Licensee; provided, however, Licensee shall at all times during the Term of this Agreement pay, on a pro rata basis (taking into account room count, hotel size or other relevant factors in determining actual costs) an amount no greater in SLS
Program Charges than any other hotel using the SLS Intellectual Property. The SLS Program Charges shall represent a reimbursement to Licensor for the SLS Programs and may include a reasonable administrative markup but shall not include a profit
component. (For purposes of this Section 12.4, “profit” shall mean a markup of the costs incurred in providing such SLS Programs, but shall specifically not include the cost of capital, research, acquisition and development expenses
or allocations of corporate overhead that Licensor reasonably determines are directly or indirectly related to the provision of such SLS Programs.) In connection with the preparation of financial statements relating to the operation of the Hotel,
Licensee shall have the right to direct the independent certified public accountants who are opining on such financial statements to audit the SLS Programs and SLS Program Charges to verify (i) that there is no mark-up, fee or profit included
in the SLS Program Charges and (ii) that all SLS Programs are allocated to the Hotel on a basis that is no less favorable than the allocation of SLS Programs to other hotels using the SLS Intellectual Property. Licensor shall provide
information reasonably requested by such accountants and shall deliver to Licensee a detailed schedule of the SLS Programs, the SLS Program Charges, and their allocations such as will enable Licensee to confirm clauses (i) and (ii) of the
preceding sentence. In addition, Licensor shall provide written certification to Owner that the SLS Program Charges are consistent with, or less than, customary market charges for similar services for similar hotels. The schedule required hereunder
shall be delivered to Licensee at the same time as the financial statements referenced above. 







 12.5 Modification of SLS Programs. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, except
for the limitation set forth in the last sentence of Section 12.2, Licensor, as applicable, shall have the right to (a) modify the fees, costs and terms of any existing SLS Programs, (b) add a new, or discontinue an existing, SLS
Programs, (c) make a mandatory SLS Programs optional, or make an optional SLS Programs mandatory, as Licensor deems advisable from time to time, each such change to be implemented upon not less than sixty (60) days notice to Licensee. 

12.6 Independent Contractor. Licensor and Licensee are each independent contractors of each other. They do not intend to create
any relationship of joint venturers, partners, agents, servants, employees, fiduciaries or representatives of each other. Neither Party shall make any agreements, representations or warranties in the name of or on behalf of the other Party nor
represent that their relationship is other than that of licensor and licensee. 
 13.  

Condemnation and Casualty 

13.1 Condemnation and Casualty. Licensee shall, as soon as reasonably possible, give Licensor notice of any permanent or
temporary taking of a portion of the Hotel for public use by, to or under authority of a governmental authority or public agency legally authorized to do so (“Condemnation”) and/or any damage or destruction of the Hotel by fire or other
cause (a “Casualty”). The provisions set forth below shall govern a Casualty or Condemnation: 
 13.1.1 In the event the
Hotel is significantly (fifty percent (50%) or more of the common area facilities or fifty percent (50%) or more of the guest rooms) damaged or destroyed by fire, hurricane, tropical storm, tsunami, flood or other casualty (each, a
“Major Casualty”), Licensee shall have the right, in Licensee’s sole discretion, to elect to not restore the Hotel, and to terminate this Agreement. If, after the happening of a Major Casualty Licensee does not deliver written notice
to Licensor within one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence of such casualty stating that Licensee intends to restore and repair such casualty damage, Licensor shall have the option to terminate this Agreement without penalty or
payment to Licensee of any sort upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice specifying a termination date not less than thirty (30) days from the date of the notice. 

13.1.2 In the event the Hotel is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty and Licensee elects to repair or reconstruct the
damaged facilities or to replace them with new facility 
 (a) It is understood and agreed that Licensee shall not be in default of
any provisions of this Agreement for failure to operate and maintain the Hotel in accordance with the physical and operational standards required in this Agreement during the term of such rehabilitation, repair or reconstruction and until the
completion of such work and the expiration of all notice periods respecting any failure by Licensee to perform its obligations; 

(b) Licensee and Licensor agree to cooperate and coordinate with Licensee’s contractors and suppliers to enable Licensee to
promptly and diligently commence and complete the work as expeditiously as possible while allowing Licensor to maximize revenues generated from the Hotel; 







 (c) If Licensor does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement under
Section 13.1.1 or in the event of any casualty other than a Major Casualty, Licensee shall promptly and diligently restore the Hotel and the alterations made to it after the date of this Agreement to substantially the same condition as existed
prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by building codes and other laws, subject to delays for force majeure, insurance adjustment, and other matters beyond Licensee’s control; and 

(d) Licensee shall nevertheless be obligated to pay all expenses necessary for the continued operation and maintenance of the Hotel
(as adjusted to account for the reduced scope of License’s obligations given the damage or loss that has occurred); and License Fees which would have been payable during such period of closure (based on the average monthly License Fees paid
during the prior * * * (* * *) month period prior to such casualty for the first * * * (* * *) months after such casualty and * * * percent (* * *%) thereof thereafter, in each case to the extent such expenses and License Fees are
reimbursed by an applicable insurance policy of Licensee. 
 13.1.3 Licensee shall, at the earliest possible time, give Licensor
written notice of any proposed taking of the Hotel by eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory acquisition, or similar proceeding (“Taking”). If such Taking is substantial enough in Licensee’s or Licensor’s reasonable judgment to
make the operation of the Hotel economically impractical or if such Taking would have a materially and permanently adverse affect on the development of the Hotel or the operation of the Hotel in accordance with the License Standards, either Party
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at the time of such Taking upon ninety (90) days’ written notice by either Licensor or Licensee to the other. If such Taking does not create a right of termination (or if neither Party
elects to exercise its right of termination), the Parties shall agree on a plan for repair, and Licensee shall promptly make whatever changes to the plans, repairs and restoration may be necessary and practical to make the Hotel conform
substantially to the condition, character, and appearance immediately prior to such taking, except for changes, repairs and restoration required by building codes and other laws. Licensee shall take all reasonable measures necessary to ensure that
the repair of the Hotel is not unreasonably delayed (subject to delays caused by force majeure, insurance adjustment, and other matters beyond Licensee’s control); provided, however, if a substantial portion of the Hotel is taken and the
Parties elect not to terminate under the immediately preceding sentence, but (a) Licensee’s respective lender fails or refuses to make available to Licensee sufficient proceeds of such eminent domain proceedings in order to permit Licensee
to make appropriate alterations, restorations or repairs to the remainder of the Hotel so that the Hotel would continue to be operable for the purposes herein contemplated, or (b) Licensee cannot, despite the exercise of diligent efforts to do
so, substantially complete restoration within a reasonable timeframe, then Licensee or Licensor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party whereupon this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the
date that Licensee shall be required to surrender possession of the Hotel to the condemning authority, and neither Party shall have any further obligation to the other Party hereunder except with respect to liabilities accruing, or based upon events
occurring, prior to the effective date of such termination.

 14.4 Equitable Relief. In the event that Licensee violates or threatens to violate
any of its covenants herein regarding the SLS Intellectual Property owned by Licensor and licensed to Licensee hereunder, Licensor shall be without an adequate remedy at law and, therefore, Licensee agrees that Licensor shall be entitled to enforce
such covenants by preliminary, temporary and/or permanent injunctive or mandatory relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving damages, without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, and without
prejudice to any other rights and remedies which it may have at law or in equity.

facsimile, the signed counterpart shall be deposited in the mail within twenty-four (24) hours thereafter, but the failure to do so shall have no effect on the enforceability of this Agreement.

unequivocally granted hereunder. All rights in the SLS Intellectual Property other than those specifically granted in this Agreement are reserved by Licensor for its own use and benefit and/or for the benefit of Licensor. Except as expressly set
forth herein or in the Transaction Agreements (defined below), nothing in this Agreement shall restrict, impair, limit or otherwise affect Licensor (or any third party authorized by Licensor) from using or exploiting the SLS Intellectual Property in
any manner whatsoever. 
 1.3 Use of License. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither Licensor nor its affiliates (or any
third party authorized by Licensor) shall use or exploit the SLS Intellectual Property within Clark County, Nevada, without the prior written consent of Licensee, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein and in the Transaction Agreements. 

2. 
 Use of Intellectual
Property; License Standards 
 2.1 Standards. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that use of the SLS Intellectual Property by
Licensee can have a substantial adverse affect on the reputation of, and goodwill associated with the Brand and SLS Intellectual Property. Licensee acknowledges that strict compliance with the License Standards (as defined below) is necessary to
protect and enhance the value of the Brand and SLS Intellectual Property and the associated goodwill. Therefore, Licensee agrees that use of the Brand and SLS Intellectual Property under this Agreement shall at all times be, except to the extent in
direct conflict with the HMA, DMA or the JV Agreement (in which case the terms of such agreements shall prevail), in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “License Standards”). The HMA, the DMA, and the JV Agreement are
sometimes referred to herein as the “Transaction Agreements.” 
 2.2 Ongoing Quality Control and Inspections. For quality
control evaluation and monitoring purposes, at Licensor’s request, Licensee shall make available to the Licensor, representative samples of collateral materials and other items using, displaying, embodying, advertising, promoting,
commercializing, or otherwise exploiting the Brand or SLS Intellectual Property, and permit Licensor to inspect at mutually convenient dates and time, any premises on which the Brand or SLS Intellectual Property is being used (the “Branded
Premises”). Licensor may take photographs and video of the interior and exterior of the Branded Premises and may use such photographs and video for such purposes as advertising, promotional, training, marketing and public relations, without any
compensation to Licensee. 
 2.3 Changes to the SLS Intellectual Property. From time to time and at Licensor’s sole discretion
and cost, Licensor may modify all or any part of the SLS Intellectual Property, so long as such modifications are consistent with those required by Licensor for the Brand as a whole; provided, however, Licensee’s implementation of any such
modifications shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreements.

 3.  

Intellectual Property Protection 

3.1 Rights to SLS Intellectual Property. Licensee acknowledges and agrees: (a) that Licensor is and shall remain the exclusive
licensor of all right, title and interest in and to the SLS Intellectual Property and the substantial goodwill associated therewith; (b) that Licensee shall acquire no rights in and to the SLS Intellectual Property or the goodwill associated
therewith by virtue of this Agreement and licenses granted hereunder; and (c) that any and all use of the SLS Intellectual Property by Licensee shall inure to the exclusive benefit of Licensor and Licensee in accordance with the terms hereof
and the Transaction Agreements. 
 3.2 Intellectual Property Notices. Subject to the limitations of Sections 5.2.2 and 6.2 of the
HMA, Licensee shall strictly adhere to any usage guidelines for the SLS Intellectual Property that Licensor imposes from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion including, without limitation, any guidelines relating to the form and manner
in which the SLS Intellectual Property is displayed or embodied, and any guidelines relating to trademark notices, copyright notices, or other proprietary legends or markings. 

3.3 Restrictions. Licensee shall not: (a) identify itself as the owner of the SLS Intellectual Property or any right, title or
interest therein or on any registration or application for registration thereof, except as a licensee; (b) apply for or maintain the registration of any trademark or copyright relating to the SLS Intellectual Property anywhere in the world; or
(c) apply for or maintain the registration of any trademark which is the same as, confusingly similar to, or which incorporates the SLS Intellectual Property, anywhere in the world. 

3.4 Infringement. If Licensee learns of any third party trademark which is likely to cause confusion with or dilute the SLS
Intellectual Property, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor in writing with all the necessary particulars known to Licensee. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that ultimately Licensor shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to
determine what, if any, action to take against the third party including without limitation whether to institute and prosecute any actions or proceedings against the third party. Licensee shall cooperate with and provide assistance to Licensor as
reasonably requested in investigating the activities of the third party and in enforcing its rights in the SLS Intellectual Property against the third party, executing, acknowledging and delivering all documents as may be reasonably necessary or
desirable to enable Licensor to protect, defend, or register its proprietary interest in any of the SLS Intellectual Property. 
 3.5
Non-Disclosure of Proprietary Information. Licensee shall not disclose any non-public information and materials relating to Licensor, the business affairs of Licensor or any hotel, resort, restaurant, spa, night club or other similar
operation or facility that Licensor owns, leases, operates or franchises other than the Hotel and the operations and facilities therein, including without limitation: (a) proprietary software relating specifically and uniquely to the Brand
alone; (b) guest lists and guest history files; (c) operational manuals relating specifically and uniquely to the proprietary instructions, requirements, guidance or policy statements of the Brand alone; (d) material relating to the
operation and design standards; and (e) all trade secrets and copyrightable or patentable subject matter developed, acquired or licensed by Licensor in the operation of any hotel, resort, restaurant, spa, night club or other similar operation
or similar

facility Licensee, leased, operated or franchised by Licensor or any of its affiliates other than the Hotel and the operations and facilities therein (“Licensor Proprietary
Information”) other than as required under the Loan Documents (as defined in the JV Agreement) or any future loan agreement, as expressly permitted by the Transaction Agreements, or in connection with the sale of the Hotel. Licensee, at all
times during the Term (as defined in Section 5.1 below) of this Agreement and thereafter, shall use all commercially reasonable means to protect the confidentiality of the Licensor Proprietary Information and shall not communicate or make the
Licensor Proprietary Information available to, or use it for the benefit of, any unauthorized persons or entities. If Licensee or any of its affiliates receives a request to disclose any Licensor Proprietary Information by subpoena, oral question,
interrogatory, request for information or documents, civil investigative demand, order, or similar process from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York or California Attorney General, the Nevada Gaming Commission or any other
applicable regulatory agency or governmental authority or from Licensee’s direct or indirect investors, owners or partners, Licensee shall: (i) promptly notify Licensor; (ii) consult with Licensor on the advisability of taking steps
to resist or narrow such request; and (iii) if disclosure is required or deemed advisable, cooperate with Licensor in any attempt Licensor may make to obtain an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the
matters disclosed. Except as set forth in the Transaction Agreements or required by legal counsel, upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, Licensee shall promptly, to the extent reasonably practicable, return
to Licensor all Licensor Proprietary Information in tangible form that Licensee received from or on behalf of Licensor and shall not retain any copies or extracts therefrom. 

4.

4.1.2 It is duly qualified to do business in all jurisdictions which require such qualification to conduct the business to be conducted under

4.1.4 This Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part and has been duly executed and delivered by it. 

4.1.5 Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, nor compliance by it with any of the provisions hereof, will:
(a) violate or conflict with any provision of its organizational documents; (b) violate, alone or with notice or the passage of time, result in the breach or termination of, or otherwise give any contracting party the right to terminate,
or declare a default under, the terms of any contract, agreement, understanding or commitment to which it is a party or by which it may be bound; (c) violate any decree, order, injunction, judgment or award against, or binding upon, it; or
(d) violate any law relating to it.

 5.  

Term and Termination 
 5.1
Term. Subject to the termination provisions below, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence as of the Effective Date and continue until such time as the later of (a) the termination of the HMA other than on
account of default by Licensor or its affiliates under [Section 16.1] of the Hotel Management Agreement or (b) the commencement of the [Third-Party Managed License Agreement]. 

5.2 Right to Terminate. This Agreement may be terminated during its Term or during any renewal terms as follows: 

5.2.1 Licensor shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice delivered to Licensee if Licensee engages in an
intentional material unauthorized use of the SLS Intellectual Property and fails to cure such unauthorized use within forty-five (45) days after receipt of written notice of the unauthorized use. 

5.2.2 Licensor shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to Licensee if: (a) a material
breach occurs which is of the same nature, and which violates the same provision of this Agreement, as a breach of which Licensor has given Licensee written notice two (2) times within the preceding eighteen (18) months (notwithstanding
that Licensee may have subsequently cured any such prior breaches), (b) Licensee willfully and intentionally breaches this Agreement, (c) Licensee breaches a material provision of this Agreement and the breach is not reasonably capable of
being cured, or (d) Licensee uses the SLS Intellectual Property in an intentional material violation of the terms of this Agreement that is not cured within fifteen (15) days following notice thereof to Licensee and the Lender (as defined
below). 
 5.2.3 Licensee shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Licensor
upon the default or material breach of the Hotel Management Agreement by Licensor or its affiliates. 
 5.3 Obligations on
Termination. 
 5.3.1 Immediately upon termination or expiration of this Agreement (“Termination”), Licensee shall cease to
have any of the rights granted to it under Section 1 above. 
 5.3.2 Any Termination shall not relieve Licensee from any obligations
which accrued prior to the date of Termination. 
 5.3.3 Licensee shall, upon Termination, take every action and execute all such documents,
if any, as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect the termination of any rights acquired by Licensee under this Agreement. 
 5.3.4
Subject to Section 16.7.8 of the HMA, Licensee shall, upon termination of this Agreement, on its own behalf and on behalf of its members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents representatives or any other persons or entities with
whom they may contract to create materials incorporating the SLS Intellectual Property, to promptly cease the distribution, release and use of such items until the SLS Intellectual Property appearing thereon are deleted or removed.

 6.  

Bankruptcy 
 6.1 The
parties acknowledge and agree that any delay in the decision of a debtor-in-possession or trustee of the bankruptcy estate to assume or reject the Agreement (the “Decision Period”) materially harms Licensor by interfering with their
ability to alternatively exploit the rights granted under this Agreement during a Decision Period of uncertain duration. The parties recognize that arranging appropriate alternative exploitation of the Licensed Intellectual Property is a time
consuming and expensive process and that it is unreasonable for Licensor to endure a Decision Period of extended uncertainty. Therefore, the parties agree that the Decision Period shall not exceed sixty (60) days. 

6.2 Notwithstanding the above, if Licensee commences or becomes the subject of any proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency
law, or if a court appoints an administrator, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) for Licensee or for a substantial part of its property, Licensee agrees to reimburse Licensor for all of its
reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses, including travel expenses, photocopying expenses, court and deposition transcript expenses, and other court costs and related expenses, which Licensor may incur in protecting its rights under
this Agreement. 
 7.  

Assignment 
 7.1
Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor the license or any other rights granted hereunder may be directly or indirectly assigned, sublicensed, sold, or transferred by Licensee, except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (as defined under
the HMA) of the HMA or pursuant to an otherwise permitted action under the Transaction Agreements, and any such attempted assignment, sublicense, sale, or transfer, whether voluntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall be void and of no force
or effect; provided, however, that Licensee may grant a sublicense to SBEHG Las Vegas I, LLC and Licensor. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Parties, Licensor’s successors and assigns and Licensee’s
permitted successors and assigns. Licensor, on the other hand, may freely assign, upon notice to Licensee both this Agreement and Licensor’s rights, duties, and obligations under this Agreement to another, but only with the prior written
consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), including without limitation an assignment to Licensor or to any other entity controlled by Licensor.

 8.4 Equitable Relief. In the event that Licensee violates or threatens to violate any of
its covenants herein regarding the SLS Intellectual Property owned by Licensor and licensed to Licensee hereunder, Licensor shall be without an adequate remedy at law and, therefore, Licensee agrees that Licensor shall be entitled to enforce such
covenants by preliminary, temporary and/or permanent injunctive or mandatory relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving damages, without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, and without prejudice
to any other rights and remedies which it may have at law or in equity. 
 8.5 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience of
reference only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the terms or provisions hereof. 

8.6 Construction. Whenever in this Agreement the context so requires, references to the masculine shall be deemed to include feminine
and the neuter, references to the neuter shall be deemed to include the masculine and the feminine, and references to the plural shall be deemed to include the singular and the singular to include the plural. As used in this Agreement, the words
“include” and “including,” and all variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation. 
 8.7 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement (including the schedule hereto, which is incorporated herein and made a part of this Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto and terminates and supersedes any and all prior or
contemporaneous agreements, arrangements and understandings, both oral and written, express or implied, between the Parties hereto concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. 

8.8 Waiver and Amendment. No waiver, amendment, modification or change of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless and
until made in writing and signed by Licensor and Licensee. No waiver or forbearance by any Party hereto of its right to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall be construed as constituting a continuing waiver or as a waiver in other instances.
The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any such rights. No course of conduct or method of doing business shall modify or amend the terms hereof. 

8.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this
Agreement shall not be affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision is held invalid as to duration, scope, activity, or subject, such provision shall be construed by limiting and
reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable law. 
 8.10 Cooperation. Each Party hereto shall
cooperate with the other Party hereto and shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or desirable in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

 8

Party at such time as a counterpart has been signed and transmitted either personally or via facsimile to the other Party. In the event of transmittal by facsimile, the signed counterpart shall be deposited in the mail within twenty-four (24)
hours thereafter, but the failure to do so shall have no effect on the enforceability of this Agreement. 
 8.13 Survival of Terms.
All terms, conditions, obligations and provisions capable of surviving the termination or expiration of this Agreement, other than any rights or licenses granted to Licensee under Section 1 above, shall so survive. 

8.14 Interpretation. Any rule or law or any legal decision that would require the interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this
Agreement against the Party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived by the Parties. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to give effect to the intent of the Parties hereto. 

8.15 Full Execution. This document will neither be a binding agreement, nor constitute a note or memorandum of the material terms of an
agreement, until each Party has received a copy executed by duly authorized officers of all the Parties. 
 8.16 [Insurance.
Licensee, at its expense, shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect at all times throughout the Term the types and limits of insurance covering the Hotel enumerated in the HMA and any loan agreement of Licensee with respect to a mortgage of
the Hotel, unless otherwise agreed to by Licensor or its affiliates. All insurance policies shall include Licensor as an additional insured thereunder. Licensee’s maintenance of such insurance shall not relieve Licensee of any liability or
obligation to Licensor under Section 8.17.] 
 8.17 Indemnification of Licensor. Licensee hereby indemnifies and holds Licensor
and its respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any and all liabilities, fines, suits, claims, obligations, damages, penalties, demands, actions, costs and expenses of any
kind or nature (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of: (a) the use of the SLS Intellectual Property by Licensee or any of its affiliates or their members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives in
violation of the terms of this Agreement; (b) Licensee’s breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement; (c) the marketing and operation of the Hotel; or (d) the violation by Licensee or its affiliates or any of their
members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of any laws, statutes, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, permits, licenses, authorizations, directions and requirements of all governmental authorities and public
utilities which now or hereafter may be applicable to any portion of the Hotel or the marketing and operation thereof, except to the extent such Claims are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Licensor or its affiliates.

Nightclub Owners, Managers, Key Employees and Security Officers 

RE: Compliance with Clark County Code for Protection of Patrons 

Dear Licensees, Owners, Managers, Key Employees and Security Personnel: 

The Department of Business License is increasingly aware that some nightclubs operating within our jurisdiction have placed the health and safety of patrons
at risk due to a lack of vigilant compliance with Clark County Code (“CCC”) provisions pertaining to liquor service. We write to advise you that the Department is committed to fostering safe venues for Clark County citizens and tourists;
to remind you of the pertinent provisions of CCC under which your privileged license is granted; and to encourage you to communicate directly with Business License staff when you have any questions or concerns related to your nightclub operations.

 Pursuant to CCC 8.20.475: 
 It is the
responsibility of the licensee to keep himself informed of the content of all liquor ordinances, and comply therewith, and ignorance thereof will not excuse violations. 

Notwithstanding your obligations under CCC 8.20.475, we have attached copies of CCC 8.20.020.237 Nightclub, 8.20.020.240 Nudity, 8.20.055 Alcohol education
cards, 8.20.340, Unlawful to serve minors, 8.20.465, Duties of licensee, and 8.20.570 Grounds for disciplinary action to draw your attention to the specific requirements related to nightclub operations and your responsibilities as nightclub owners
and operators. 
 Specifically, we expect that nightclub owners and operators will take every measure available to prevent service of alcohol to minors and
over inebriation of all patrons because intoxication places nightclub patrons, casino patrons and the driving public at severe risk for injuries, crimes against persons, and vehicular injury and death. In addition, we believe that the incidents of
lewd activity and nudity in nightclubs contributes to crimes of sexual assault and battery against patrons that occurs both within the nightclubs, resort hotel parking areas and restrooms. Therefore, we expect that you will prohibit the use of dance
poles, platfonns, dance cages and stages by patrons. The professional dancers employed by the nightclub should only access these areas. Further, we expect that patrons will only have access to public spaces and prohibited from entering areas
including, but not limited to, kitchens, security areas and offices.

 Finally, but of equal importance is your duty to cooperate with Department agents, State Gaming Control
agents and members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Stalling or obstructing access to the nightclub by State Gaming Control and Department agents and Metro officers will not be tolerated and any failure to respond to agents’ or
Metro officers’ inquiries efficiently and expeditiously could result in a civil penalty carrying monetary penalties. 
 Within the next month, the
Department will be scheduling meetings with nightclub management, representatives and security personnel at each of the resort properties to discuss the requirements and responsibilities of the privileged liquor license under which you operate. In
the meantime, we encourage you to contact the Department with any questions or concerns that you may have regarding your operations. Supervising Special Agent Gary Torgerson oversees nightclub enforcement and will be able to answer your questions
and advise you as necessary. He can be reached at (702) 455-4434. 
 We believe that the nightclub industry is a vital component of the tourism and
entertainment sectors of the Las Vegas business community. We look forward to working with you to ensure that Las Vegas nightclubs deliver world-class entertainment at the highest standards for public safety. 

Sincerely,

 MEMORANDUM 
  

			
	DATE:	  	February 7, 2006
		
	TO:	  	ALL NONRESTRICTED LICENSEES AND INTERESTED PERSONS
		
	FROM:	  	STATE GAMING CONTROL BOARD
		
	SUBJECT:	  	Nightclub Activities and Entertainment Selection

  
  

Recent and recurring events at nightclubs located on or within the property of gaming licensees continue to be a concern to the Gaming Control
Board. Of particular concern to the board are incidences of excessive inebriation, drug distribution and abuse, violence, the involvement of minors, and the handling of those individuals who become incapacitated while at the club. 

Additionally, the board has received a letter of concern from Sheriff Bill Young of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department addressing
the issue of booking certain types of entertainment into licensed properties. Specifically, there have been numerous incidents of violence before, during and after several “gangster rap” concerts, not just in Las Vegas, but nationally as
well. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department considers these events as serious threats to the community. 
 The Board recently
conducted interviews with licensees/owners/operators of most of the nightclubs located within licensed locations in Clark County. While most clubs appear to have adequate policies and sufficient security, situations which have the potential to bring
discredit to the State and act as a detriment to the development of the gaming industry continue to occur. 
 THEREFORE, be advised that
regardless of ownership, the board will hold the licensee accountable for any regulatory violations that occur within or outside a night club located on the property of the licensee. The board will also expect the licensee to perform appropriate due
diligence to determine that nightclub owners/operators are suitable. In addition, the board expects that same level of due diligence in determining suitability of entertainment brought onto a licensed property, and will similarly hold the licensee
accountable for incidents occurring as a result of entertainment the licensee knew or should have known would likely cause such incidents.

	TO:	ALL NONRESTRICTED LICENSEES AND INTERESTED PARTIES 

  

	RE:	NIGHTCLUBS, ULTRA LOUNGES, EUROPEAN POOLS AND SIMILAR VENUES 

 In view of complaints
received by the Gaming Control Board related to nightclubs, ultra lounges, European pools and similar venues, and several incidents wherein a few licensees were found to be indifferent to the conduct or welfare of patrons, it has become necessary to
remind licensees of their responsibilities with regard to these venues. 
 Some of the issues related to the aforementioned venues that have
surfaced over the last few years include: excessive inebriation; drug distribution and abuse; violence; overt sexual acts in public areas; acts deemed lewd, indecent or obscene; presence of minors; mishandling of incapacitated individuals
(“dumping”); date rape, extortion/misquoting of service charges; restricted access by law enforcement; lack of coordination with licensee security; and prostitution. 

I realize that licensee ownership and operational involvement vary by venue, as do the types of operations/businesses on a licensee’s
property. However, whether venues are licensee owned and operated, licensee owned and subcontractor operated, lessee owned and operated, lessee owned and third party operated or any other variation of joint venture owned or operated, it is the
Nevada gaming licensees’ responsibility to ensure operations conducted within the boundaries of their property are run in accordance with all laws and regulations and in a manner that does not reflect badly on the State of Nevada or its gaming
industry. 
 If you have not done so already, it would be wise to thoroughly assess your nightclub and other similar operations. Specific
areas of consideration may include: 
  

	 	•	 	Policies, procedures and internal controls 

  

	 	•	 	Venue security cooperation/coordination with casino security and law enforcement 

  

	 	•	 	General business practices 

  

	 	•	 	Accounting practices (audit procedures) 

  

	 	•	 	Minor issues 

  

	 	•	 	Handling inebriated/incapacitated patrons (“dumping”) 

  

	 	•	 	Illegal drug use and distribution 

  

	 	•	 	Prostitution 

  

	 	•	 	Employee due diligence 










			
	 Nightclubs, Ultra Lounges, European Pools and Similar Venues

Page 2
	  	

  

 The following steps (already adopted by some progressive licensees) will aid
in assessing your nightclub and similar operations: 
  

	 	•	 	Visit/shop locations as typical customers 

  

	 	•	 	Interview employees 

  

	 	•	 	Review websites associated with operations on your properties and utilize (purchase front-of-line admission and table service) the websites to see if they are legitimate 


 

	 	•	 	Compare tickets sold through external sites with internal records 

  

	 	•	 	Evaluate door, cash bank check in/check out, tip pooling and distribution procedures 

  

	 	•	 	Interview management as to their policies and procedures regarding the handling of: incapacitated patrons, minors, illegal drugs, prostitution; club access for law enforcement; and coordination with casino security


  

	 	•	 	From payroll records, compare tips reported to existing compliance agreements 

 No matter
what the ownership and operational circumstances are, business and criminal conduct as described above reflect poorly on Nevada gaming licensees and the State in general. In conclusion, indifference to illegal acts or unsuitable business practices
within your properties’ nightclubs or similar establishments will not be tolerated and may be considered an unsuitable method of operation. Please be proactive and take the appropriate steps to ensure the well being of your patrons, avoid
damaging the reputation of the State and its gaming industry and steer clear of potential disciplinary measures.

	DATE:	  	MARCH 21, 2013
		
	TO:	  	ALL NONRESTRICTED LICENSEES AND INTERESTED PARTIES
		
	FROM:	  	THE GAMING CONTROL BOARD AND THE LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT
		
	RE:	  	NIGHTCLUBS, DAY CLUBS, PARTY POOLS, ULTRA LOUNGES, AND SIMILAR VENUES

  
  

 
 The Gaming Control Board continues to be concerned
with activities occurring at or in connection with nightclubs, party pools, ultra lounges, day clubs and similar or associated events at venues on the property of gaming licensees. The Gaming Control Board (Board), in partnership with the Las Vegas
Metropolitan Police Department (Metro), as well as other law enforcement jurisdictions statewide, continues to have an ongoing interest in the activities occurring at these venues. In view of recent events and with the approach of the summer season,
we believe a review of our concern is appropriate. 
 As in the past, areas of concern include drug distribution/abuse, sexual assault, theft, violence
(fights, aggravated assaults, etc), prostitution, nudity, and the presence of minors. While we recognize that it is sometimes difficult to control the activities of patrons, our investigative efforts in the recent past have focused on the overall
policies of the venue and on the action(s) of its employees. Recent investigations have not only shown a lack of enforcement effort to curtail criminal activity on the part of patrons, but that venue staff have played an active role in condoning
and/or facilitating the criminal activity. This type of activity on the part of those who are supposed to be responsible for the protection of both the guests and the property will not be tolerated. 

Many licensees have made significant progress in policy development and venue protection and we applaud those efforts, but the incidents described above
cannot be ignored, as they reflect poorly on the venue, the licensee, the jurisdiction and the State of Nevada. The Board, Metro and our other law enforcement partners will continue to investigate complaints relative to criminal activities,
misquoting of fees, admission of and service to minors, and the handling of incapacitated patrons. We will also actively conduct ongoing covert investigations in those venues where concerns continue to arise in order to ensure a safe environment for
patrons.

 In addition, please be reminded that the licensee will be held responsible for the actions occurring on its
premises regardless of the association or contractual agreements between the licensee and a lessee or third part operator/manager. 
 As in the past, the
Board, Metro and other agencies are willing to work with you to ensure the safety of all visitors and guests at these exceptional venues. Questions or requests regarding these issues can be made directly to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Lieutenant
Roxanne McDaris, 702 808-5083, Senior Agent Phillip Pedote, 702 486-2020 (Las Vegas) or, in northern Nevada, Supervisor David Andrews, 775 823-7250.
