Section 5. Title to the Hotel.



Owner warrants that, save as permitted pursuant to the other provisions of this Section, it
has, or will acquire, and throughout the Operating Term (as defined in Article II Section 1 below)
will maintain a full right to use or occupy the Hotel through a lease, concession, ownership of
strata unit, right to use, sub-right to use or other agreement (the “Right to Use
Agreement”). Owner shall keep and maintain said lease, concession, ownership, right to use,
sub-right to use or other agreement with respect to the Hotel in full force and effect throughout
said term, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, covenants, charges, burdens or claims, except
(a) those that permit or do not materially and adversely affect the operation of the Hotel by
Hyatt, through the General Manager on behalf of the Owner in accordance with and subject to this
Agreement (b) those arising by operation of law, (c) those arising as a result of or in connection
with any act or omission by Hyatt or any of its affiliates (or any of its or their respective
officers, employers, agents or contractors), (d) those arising as a result of or in connection with
any act or omission or other event or circumstance contemplated hereby or permitted hereunder, (e)
those arising under or permitted by or in connection with any documents entered into with any
lenders or other persons (together, “Lenders”) in connection with the financing of the
construction and development of the Development or any other requirements of the Owner or its
affiliates or, in either case, any restructuring or refinancing thereof (the “Financing
Documents”) or the enforcement thereof, or (f) those arising under or as permitted under any
agreement that provides that this Agreement shall not be subject to forfeiture or termination,
except only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Owner further warrants that
Hyatt, through the General Manager, on distributing the profits to Owner in accordance with this
Agreement and fulfilling its other obligations hereunder, shall and may peaceably and quietly
manage and operate the Hotel during the entire Operating Term. Notwithstanding the generality of
the foregoing, in the event that Owner shall, through banks or other Lenders, finance the
construction of the Hotel, or refinance the Hotel, or use the Hotel as collateral in connection
with a borrowing for non-Hotel purposes, Owner shall secure a non-disturbance and attornment
agreement, in a form and content reasonably acceptable to Hyatt, from such Lenders. Such agreement
between the Lenders and Hyatt would provide for matters which may arise following any foreclosure
or similar action by the Lender or Lenders and their successors and assigns, including any person
who may acquire the assets of the Hotel. Subject to the consent and approval of the Lenders, Owner
will procure the Titleholder to enter into an agreement with Hyatt in relation to matters which may
arise out of the termination of the Right to Use Agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Titleholder and Hyatt.



Hyatt acknowledges that the Titleholder is responsible for the payment and discharge of any
ground rents, or other rental payments, concession charges and any other charges payable by such
Titleholder in respect of the Hotel Site. Owner undertakes to procure that the Titleholder take
all appropriate actions with respect to its capacity as holder of title to the Hotel Site in order
that Hyatt can perform its obligations under this Agreement. Hyatt also acknowledges that the
Titleholder is responsible to pay all real estate taxes and assessments that may become a lien on
the Hotel and that may be due and payable during the Operating Term, unless payment thereof is in
good faith being contested by Titleholder and enforcement thereof is stayed, and Owner undertakes
that it shall, at its expense, procure the timely payment of all such taxes and assessments. Owner
shall not later than twenty (20) days following the written request by Hyatt or the General Manager
furnish to Hyatt or the General Manager copies of official tax bills and assessments and tax
receipts showing the payment of such taxes and assessments, as received from the Titleholder.

Section 6. Fund for Training, Pre-Opening and Opening Expenses.



Hyatt shall prepare a training, pre-opening and opening expenses budget (the “Pre-opening
Budget”) and deliver such Pre-opening Budget (in the format as outlined in Appendix B attached
hereto) to Owner for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be
given by no later than September 30, 2008 (or such other date as may be agreed to by Hyatt and
Owner) for a projected formal opening date of the Hotel of September 30, 2009 or such other date as
may be agreed by the parties or otherwise notified to Hyatt by the Owner in writing (“Target
Opening Date”). Owner shall make available funds as required in accordance with the
Pre-opening Budget, pursuant to a disbursement schedule prepared by Hyatt and approved by Owner and
shall deposit such funds into a bank account of the Owner but designated in the trade name of the
Hotel (the “Pre-opening Account”). The authorized signatories of this Pre-opening Account
shall be the General Manager or an Executive Assistant Manager of the Hotel as “A” signatories and
the Director of Finance or Assistant Director of Finance of the Hotel as “B” signatories and such
other signatories as may be agreed to between Owner and Hyatt. Such authorized signatories shall
be approved by resolution(s) of the Board of Directors or, if required, the shareholders of Owner.
The Pre-opening Budget shall include the costs and expenses of (a) recruiting, relocating, training
and compensating Hotel employees (including temporary subsistence for relocated employees until
they have procured permanent accommodations within or outside the Hotel in accordance with H.I.’s
personnel policies), (b) organizing Hotel operations, (c) pre-opening advertising, promotion, and
literature, (d) obtaining all necessary licenses and permits (including the fees of attorneys and
other consultants incidental thereto), (e) interim office space outside the Hotel, (f) telephone,
telefax and electronic mail charges, (g) travel and business entertainment (including opening
celebrations and ceremonies), (h) the staff facilities described in Section 14 of Article III, and
(i) other pre-opening activities incurred prior to or concurrently with the formal opening of the
Hotel. Hyatt and its affiliates and other hotels operated by H.I. and its affiliates shall be
reimbursed for all reasonable costs (evidenced by valid receipts in appropriate cases) incurred by
them in connection with pre-opening activities of the Hotel, including, inter-alia, (a) for a
period of twelve (12) months prior to the formal opening of the Hotel, Chain Marketing Services as
defined in Section 2 of Article VII, based on US$394.00 (in 2008 United States dollars) per guest
room, per annum, (b) the salaries, transportation, and subsistence outside the Hotel of personnel
of Hyatt, its affiliates or other H.I. hotels assigned temporarily to the Hotel to assist in
pre-opening activities (Hyatt shall make available to Owner, upon request, information on any such
salaries and other subsistence to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of any such amounts), and
(c) the expenses, excluding salaries, of such personnel making occasional visits to the Hotel in
connection with pre-opening activities (with suitable evidence to demonstrate the validity and
accuracy of any such expenses), provided that such costs are included within the Pre-opening
Budget.



The Pre-opening Budget shall be revised as necessary prior to the formal opening of the Hotel,
provided that such revisions do not or will not result in the total amount disbursed, with the
exception of the additional amounts required, as provided below in this Section, as the result of
postponement of the formal opening of the Hotel beyond Target Opening Date, exceeding the total of
the initially agreed Pre-opening Budget. Accordingly, amounts allocated for various expense
classifications within the Pre-opening Budget may be increased or decreased by Hyatt in
consultation with Owner.

CONFIDENTIAL; Do not copy or distribute



For the purposes hereof, Hyatt and the General Manager shall utilize the currency of Macau
(“Patacas”) to the fullest extent possible and the balance of the
funds required hereunder shall be made available in United States dollars or in currency freely
convertible into United States dollars, without reduction for income, withholding, business tax, if
any, value added or any other taxes imposed by Macau or the People’s Republic of China, or bank
charges or any other charges. If the tax authorities of Macau or the People’s Republic of China
shall impose any income, withholding, business tax, if any, value added or other tax upon the funds
for pre-opening expenses, the Pre-opening Budget shall in any event be revised so that it includes
such taxes in order that such funds shall be available to Hyatt and/or the General Manager, on a
full and timely basis.



If Hyatt shall not receive timely payment from Owner of pre-opening funds in accordance with
the aforesaid Pre-opening Budget, Hyatt shall have the right, but not the obligation, to fund such
pre-opening expenses in accordance with the Pre-Opening Budget and to be reimbursed therefor, all
subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Article XI of this Agreement.



In the event of the postponement of the formal opening of the Hotel beyond the Target Opening
Date the newly scheduled formal opening date notified in accordance with Section 6 of this Article
1 shall be set forth in a memorandum to be signed by Hyatt and Owner. Hyatt shall and shall procure
that the General Manager, shall during the period of 3 months following the Target Opening Date use
their best efforts to minimize the additional costs and expenses resulting from such postponement
and any such additional costs and expenses shall be agreed by Owner and Hyatt (such agreement not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If by the expiry of a period of 3 months from the Target
Opening Date the formal opening of the Hotel has not occurred, Owner and Hyatt shall agree any
appropriate increases in the Pre-opening Budget as reasonably required by Hyatt, as agreed with
Owner (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), due to the delay in, and until,
the formal opening of the Hotel beyond a period of 3 months from the Target Opening Date. With the
consent of Owner, Hyatt may, through the General Manager on behalf of the Owner, prior to said
formal opening conduct partial operations of the Hotel, the expenses and revenues of said partial
operations to increase or reduce the pre-opening expenditures budgeted in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, and Hyatt shall be entitled to receive monthly its basic management and
incentive fees, at the rates provided for in Section 1 of Article IV and upon the terms set forth
in Section 2 of Article IV, based upon Revenue and Gross Operating Profit, as defined in Article V,
resulting from such partial operations.



With the exception of fees for partial operations as provided for above, neither Hyatt nor any
affiliate of Hyatt shall receive any fee or profit for rendering pre-opening services as described
in this Section 6. However, if this Agreement shall be terminated before the expiration of
five (5) years following the formal opening of the Hotel as the result of any default by Owner,
then Hyatt shall be entitled to receive from Owner, as liquidated damages solely to compensate
Hyatt for rendering pre-opening services (and without prejudice to Hyatt’s right (if any) to claim
and receive damages to compensate it for any other loss arising in respect of the termination of
this Agreement, including, without limitation, the loss of Hyatt’s future fees and other
entitlements hereunder for itself and for H.I. affiliates), the amount of US$1,000,000. The
parties agree that the US$1,000,000 is the actual quantum of the damages in respect of the value of
pre-opening services Hyatt would suffer due to such early termination and that the same is a
genuine pre-estimate of such damages and loss under or in connection with this Agreement by Hyatt,
HI and the HI affiliates in respect of such pre-opening services.



Hyatt shall, through the General Manager on behalf of the Owner, within four (4) months after
the formal opening of the Hotel, account to Owner for all expenditures
made under this Section and pay over to Owner forthwith any excess of the funds advanced by Owner
over the total of such expenditures.

Section 7. Formal Opening of the Hotel.



The formal opening of the Hotel shall occur on a date to be mutually agreed upon by Owner and
Hyatt (which agreement shall not, notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), by reference to the Target Opening Date and in any event only after
(a) (i) the Hotel has been practically completed including without limitation in accordance with
that certain Technical Services Agreement, dated the date hereof between Owner and Hyatt
International Technical Services, Inc. (“TSA”) and (ii) the Furnishings and Equipment,
Ancillary Hotel Equipment and Operating Equipment have been substantially installed therein, all in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of this Article, (b) the construction manager has
issued its certificate of completion, (c) all licenses and permits required for the operation of
the Hotel (including police, fire and health department permits) have been obtained, save in
respect of those where failure to obtain any such license and permits for any part of the Hotel
will not affect the operation of the Hotel as a whole, (d) adequate working capital has been
furnished by Owner in accordance with Section 1 of Article VII, and (e) the Hotel is ready to
render appropriate service to guests on a fully operational basis to Grand Hyatt Operating
Standards (as defined below). Hyatt shall promptly upon becoming aware (and, in any event, prior
to the Target Opening Date) notify the Owner with supporting evidence reasonably acceptable to
Owner of any circumstances in which the Hotel does not or is not reasonably likely to meet the
above paragraph (e) criteria, the burden of proof being on Hyatt. Notwithstanding the formal
opening of the Hotel (but subject to the foregoing), Owner shall proceed diligently thereafter to
fulfill all of its obligations hereunder regarding the construction, furnishing, equipping and
decorating of the Hotel and to cure all defects or deficiencies as to which notice shall be given
by Hyatt to Owner as soon as practicable after said formal opening.

and Section 7) entered into by Hyatt in relation to the Hotel or the performance of Hyatt’s
obligations hereunder, subject, where appropriate, to the Owner’s right to refuse such novation or

course of trading or contains unusually onerous terms and subject to any costs under the contract
having been included by Owner and
Hyatt as part of the operating expenses or management fee payable to Hyatt in accordance with
this Agreement. Provided however, Owner understands and agrees that contracts entered into by
Hyatt or its affiliates for services which are provided for the benefit of hotels operated by Hyatt
or its affiliates, such as credit card acceptance agreements, frequent flyer program participation
agreements and the like, shall not be novated or assigned to Owner upon the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.

Principles”). The intention is to ensure that Hyatt performs its management services and its
obligations under this Agreement having regard to the Key Operating Principles and that Owner will
perform its obligations under this Agreement having regard to the Key Operating Principles. The Key
Operating Principles must be reviewed annually by the parties after the Annual Plan is agreed in
accordance with Section 4 of Article VII, and any agreed amendments to the Key Operating Principles
must be recorded in an instrument supplemental hereto and signed by the parties.




Section 1A. Standards of Operation.



Hyatt shall, through the General Manager and on behalf of the Owner, operate the Hotel to the
standards comparable to those that are customary and usual and generally prevailing in
international, upscale Grand Hyatt hotels operated by HI and it’s subsidiaries and affiliates in
the Asia Pacific region, provided that the same is not in contravention of Macanese law or
regulation (the “Grand Hyatt Operating Standards”). Hyatt shall, through the General
Manager and on behalf of the Owner, conduct all activities of the Hotel in a manner that is
customary and usual to such an operation and in accordance with the laws and regulations of Macau
and, insofar as feasible and in its opinion advisable, local character and traditions, with
diligence and care generally attributable to a professional manager of a hotel with similar
characteristics. Hyatt shall perform and shall use its diligent efforts to ensure that the General
Manager acts, with reasonable skill, care and diligence in a professional and appropriate manner in
the operation of the Hotel and that the relationship with Owner operates through channels of
dialogue and transparency.



For the purpose of this Agreement, Owner undertakes from time to time to provide to Hyatt and
General Manager written information related to relevant
requirements concerning the operation of the Hotel and this Agreement, under the Financing
Documents, and Hyatt shall, and shall procure that the General Manager shall, consistent with the
rights and obligations of Hyatt under the terms of this Agreement use commercially reasonable
efforts to comply therewith.

receive financial returns solely based upon the operation of the Hotel shall not be deemed to give
Owner any rights or obligations, save as otherwise set out in this Agreement, with respect to the
operation or management of the Hotel. Recommendations with respect to the operation of the Hotel
and any matter addressed or contained in the Annual Plan or, as the case may be, the Approved
Annual Plan (each as defined in Section 4D of Article VII hereof) made by Owner shall be considered
by Hyatt and the General Manager and, (a) if required by law or regulations, shall be implemented
or (b) if otherwise consistent with Grand Hyatt Operating Standards shall be implemented where
feasible. Any such matters may be discussed, at Owner’s discretion, in the monthly meeting with
the General Manager as provided in Section 6 of this Article III. The control and management by
Hyatt, through the General Manager on behalf of the Owner, shall include, subject always to the
other terms of this Agreement, the use of the Hotel for all customary purposes, terms of
admittance, charges for rooms and commercial space, entertainment and amusement, food and
beverages, labor policies, wage rates and the hiring and discharging of employees, maintenance of

H.I. standards and policies generally in effect for those having equivalent positions to Senior
Managers at hotels of comparable standing, quality and size to the Hotel), as separately agreed
between Hyatt and Owner. Owner shall have the right, on any occasion where Hyatt believes it is

about such candidate(s).

and as permitted by and in accordance with this Agreement, to incur expenses and to enter into
contracts with third parties in the ordinary course of trading of the Hotel and the Owner, in

Section 8. Contracts with Hyatt Affiliates.



Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, in its management of the Hotel, Hyatt or the
General Manager, may on behalf of the Owner purchase goods, supplies, insurance and services from
or through H.I. or any of their respective affiliates so long as the prices and terms thereof are
competitive with the prices and terms of goods, supplies and services of equal quality available
from third parties including subject to the provisions of this Section 8, Hyatt may on behalf of
the Owner retain itself or H.I. or any of their respective affiliates as a consultant and to
perform technical services in connection with the maintenance and enhancement of computer software
for the Hotel operations management system and any substantial remodeling, repairs, construction or
other capital improvement to the Hotel and Hyatt or H.I. or their respective affiliates shall be
reasonably compensated for its services. Hyatt shall, through the General Manager and on behalf of
the Owner, have the right on behalf of the Owner to utilize the Hotel and its facilities to train
employees of other hotels operated by Hyatt or H.I. and their respective affiliates. The Hotel
shall be reimbursed for any additional expenses that may be caused as a result of such training,
unless such expenses shall be offset by benefits accruing to the Hotel arising out of services
performed by such trainees provided that such offset shall not exceed the reimbursement amount.
Except for Chain Marketing Services and other services identified in Article VII Section 2, neither
Hyatt nor the General Manager shall purchase goods, supplies or services from itself or any
affiliate, or enter into any other transaction with an affiliate of Hyatt or H.I. wherein any
portion of the cost thereof will be paid or reimbursed by the Hotel or from the Operating Accounts
or otherwise by Owner or any of its affiliates, except with the prior consent of Owner, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, recognizing
the varied nature and scope of investments by or on behalf of the Pritzker Family, there will be
situations where a company in which the Pritzker Family holds an interest does business, directly
or indirectly, with Hyatt or individual Hyatt hotels, in some cases without the knowledge of such
interest by Hyatt management. Subject to the provisions of the succeeding sentence of this Section
8, any such transactions entered into in the ordinary course of trading will not be deemed a
violation of the provisions of this Section. However, where the Pritzker Family interest is
material and is known or becomes known to Hyatt management, Hyatt will inform Owner, and will
discontinue such arrangements if then requested by Owner. “Pritzker Family” shall mean (i)
all natural and adoptive lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased, and their spouses;
(ii) all trusts for the benefit of any person described in clause (i) and the trustees of such
trusts in their capacities as such; (iii) all legal representatives of any person or trusts
described in clauses (i) or (ii); and (iv) all partnerships, corporations, limited liability
companies or other entities controlled by or under common control with any person, trust or other
entity described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii). “Control” for purposes of this definition shall
mean the ability to direct or otherwise significantly affect the major policies, activities or
actions of any person.




Section 9. Agency Relationship.



In the performance of their duties hereunder provided that such is in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, Hyatt and the General Manager shall act solely as agents of Owner. All
debts and liabilities to third persons incurred by Hyatt and the
General Manager as aforesaid in the course of their operation and management of the Hotel and in
accordance with this Agreement shall, save to the extent this Agreement provides otherwise, be the
debts and liabilities of Owner only and Hyatt and the General Manager shall not be liable for any
such obligations by reason of their management, supervision, direction and operation of the Hotel
for Owner. Hyatt and the General Manager may so inform third parties with whom they deal on behalf
of Owner in accordance with this Agreement and may take any other reasonable steps to carry out the
intent of this Section.

Section 10. Hyatt’s Right to Reimbursement.



During the term of this Agreement and to the extent such amounts have not otherwise been
funded under the Pre-opening Budget, Hyatt may elect (but shall have no obligation to elect) to pay
any such costs and expenses incurred for the benefit of the Hotel operation that Hyatt shall have
the right or the obligation to incur or cause to be incurred in accordance with and subject to the
provisions of this Agreement (and which are so incurred), (a) whether incurred (i) separately and
distinctly from costs and expenses incurred on behalf of other hotels of Hyatt or H.I. or its
affiliates (hereinafter collectively called the “H.I. group”) or (ii) in conjunction
therewith (including, without limitation, insurance premiums, advertising, business promotion,
training and internal auditing programs, social benefits of the H.I. group for which employees of
the Hotel may be eligible, attendance of such employees at meetings and seminars conducted by
members of the H.I. group and the Chain Marketing Services and other services provided in
accordance with Section 2 of Article VII), and (b) irrespective of whether such funds shall be paid
to any third party or to any member of the H.I. group or any other hotels operated by any member of
the H.I. group. If Hyatt or any member of the H.I. group or any hotel operated by any member of
the H.I. group shall pay with its own funds as aforesaid, it shall be entitled to prompt
reimbursement therefor by the Owner.



Any amount required to be reimbursed which is referred to in this Section 10 to Hyatt or H.I.
or any of their respective affiliates in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be
payable in United States dollars or in the currency in which the expense was incurred, without
reduction for income, withholding, business tax, if any, value added or any other taxes imposed by
the tax authorities of Macau, or the People’s Republic of China, or bank charges or any other
charges, at the principal office of Hyatt or H.I. or their respective affiliates or such other
place as Hyatt may, from time to time, designate. In the event that the tax authorities of Macau
or the People’s Republic of China shall impose any income, withholding, business tax, if any, value
added or other tax upon such reimbursements of costs and expenses, or deem such reimbursements to
be income taxable to Hyatt or its affiliates, and the Annual Plan or the Approved Annual Plan, as
the case may be, shall in any event be revised in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
to cover such amounts in order that Hyatt or its affiliates shall receive full and timely
reimbursement for all of its advances hereunder. Hyatt shall, through the General Manager and on
behalf of the Owner, have the right to withdraw the amount of such reimbursement of operating
expenses which is referred to in this Section 10 from the Operating Bank Accounts of the Hotel
when due, utilizing such United States dollars or other currency freely convertible into United
States dollars that may be available in such Operating Bank Accounts, or Hyatt (or the General
Manager) may convert such amount from Patacas to United States dollars. If exchange control
regulations of Macau or the People’s Republic of China delay the conversion of an amount into
United States dollars, Hyatt or H.I. or its affiliate may elect to receive and retain such amount
in Patacas during the period of such delay, but such election shall not constitute a waiver of the
right of Hyatt, or H.I. or their respective affiliates to receive payment of other amounts in the
future in United States dollars. Hyatt shall ensure that the reimbursement operating expenses
which are referred to in this Section 10 and remitted to Hyatt or H.I. are documented and supported
by invoices, receipts or other
documents showing that such amounts are properly and reasonably incurred in connection with the
operation of the Hotel in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.

Section 11. Employees of the Hotel.



Subject to the provisions of Section 2 of Article III, Hyatt shall, on behalf of and in
consultation with Owner, select and appoint the General Manager of the Hotel. Hyatt shall, through
the General Manager, on behalf of Owner and subject to the provisions of Section 2 of Article III,
select and appoint all employees of the Hotel, including the executive committee members,
expatriate personnel and other key executives of the Hotel. With respect to any Hyatt Senior
Managers, any executive committee members, any expatriate personnel and any other key executives,
who are hired by the General Manager, on behalf of the Owner as contemplated in this Section 11, if
Hyatt determines that their expertise and experience justify a higher level of social benefits and
compensation and can reasonably demonstrate to Owner the level of such experience and expertise,
then provided that such higher level of benefits and compensation is not in contravention of any
Macanese law or regulation, Owner shall pay for and reimburse Hyatt for any such benefits or
compensation that may be advanced by Hyatt. Owner and Hyatt hereby agree to cooperate with each
other to comply with all and any applicable Macau laws or regulations regarding this issue and
whenever required by the Owner, Hyatt shall provide any evidence necessary to substantiate the
experience and expertise of the applicable candidate for any such position. Each employee of the
Hotel, including the General Manager, shall be the employee of Owner and not of Hyatt, and Hyatt
shall not, save as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement, be liable to such employees for their
wages or compensation, and every person performing services under and in accordance with this
Agreement, including any agent or employee of Hyatt or H.I. or any of its affiliates or any agent
or employee of Owner hired by Hyatt who is, in each case, so acting, shall be acting as the agent
of Owner. The aforesaid notwithstanding, Hyatt may, subject to the terms of this Agreement and
applicable laws and regulations of Macau (a) elect to assign employees of Hyatt or H.I. or any of
its affiliates or of other hotels of H.I. temporarily as full-time members of the executive staff
of the Hotel and (b) pay the compensation, including social benefits, of such employees. In such
event Owner shall reimburse Hyatt monthly for the total aggregate compensation as agreed by the
Owner, including social benefits paid or payable to or with respect to such employees, and Hyatt
shall make available to Owner, upon request, information on any such salaries and social benefits
to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of any such reimbursed amounts. To the extent that Hyatt
deems advisable and in Owner’s best interest but subject and without prejudice to the other
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any provisions which expressly reserve
to Owner any rights or discretions in respect of such matters), Owner shall delegate to the General
Manager of the Hotel the authority to employ, pay, supervise and discharge employees of the Hotel
as shall be required in accordance with and subject to this Agreement.



Hyatt and the General Manager shall inform Owner of any major changes of the Hotel’s personnel as
soon as practicable. Hyatt shall, unless explanations for not doing so are given by Hyatt to the
reasonable satisfaction of Owner and provided such would not contravene law or regulation in Macau,
terminate the employment of any personnel of the Hotel forthwith or where practicable, after
consultation with Owner, if at any time any such personnel shall:




	 	(1)	 	be guilty of serious misconduct or commit a material breach of any of the
terms of his employment or after warning in writing, willfully neglect to perform his
assigned duties; or

	 
	 	(2)	 	commit any act of fraud or dishonesty (whether or not connected with his
employment); or

	 	(3)	 	be incapacitated (including by reason of illness or accident) from performing
his assigned duties for a period or periods in aggregate amounting to six calendar
months in any period of twelve months; or







	 	(4)	 	as a result of his other activities or interests, be in a position which
conflicts with his assigned duties.






Owner may request that Hyatt removes any of such personnel for any of the aforementioned reasons if
it has reasonable grounds to believe that that is the case. Hyatt shall comply with Owner’s
request either forthwith or as soon as possible upon investigation of the matter.



Owner shall have the right to request Hyatt to remove (on not less than thirty (30) days’ written
notice by notice to the Area Senior Vice President of Hyatt, or an appropriate level executive of
Hyatt) the General Manager, Director of Finance, and/or Director of Marketing if, in the Owner’s
reasonable opinion, the General Manager, Director of Finance, and/or Director of Marketing, as
appropriate, has demonstrated poor performance due to the lack of skills or neglect of his or her
duties; provided, that Hyatt, as to the General Manager, Director of Finance or Director of
Marketing, as appropriate, shall have previously received at least two (2) prior written notices,
on dates at least thirty (30) days apart, from the Owner with respect to poor performance of the
General Manager, Director of Finance or Director of Marketing, as appropriate, provided the
applicable individual shall have theretofore been afforded with a reasonable opportunity to cure
such circumstances not exceeding 90 days.



Owner will reimburse General Manager for reasonable Macau accommodation expenses incurred by the
General Manager during his term of appointment as General Manager under this Agreement. The amount
of such reimbursement shall be for accommodations consistent with H.I. standards and policies
generally in effect for the general managers of hotels of comparable standing, quality and size to
the Hotel, provided the same is not in contravention of Macanese law or regulations and shall be as
agreed to between Owner and Hyatt, from time to time.

The parties understand that Hyatt shall, in order to perform, and without prejudice to, its
obligations to operate and manage the Hotel under, in accordance with and subject to the terms of
this Agreement, exercise its control and discretion, subject to and in accordance with the terms of

control and discretion), in such operation and management by designating the General Manager to be
employed by Owner, which General Manager (herein called the “General Manager”) Hyatt shall
ensure shall (a) be familiar with H.I.’s method of hotel operation, (b) be furnished with H.I.’s
policies and systems and procedures manuals from time to time in effect, and (c) whose major
activities shall be reviewed and supervised by Hyatt while he shall retain full autonomy to make
day-to-day decisions with respect to such operations. To such purpose, but without prejudice to
any of the foregoing, Owner shall pass such resolutions as may be required to confer on General
Manager the necessary power for such purpose.




Section 13. Hyatt’s Management Modules.



The parties understand further that all of H.I.’s management modules including, but not
limited to, policies and procedures, operations, accounting and training, which are furnished by
Hyatt in connection with its management of the Hotel are and shall be
at all times, without further act or action, the exclusive property of H.I. and Owner shall, ensure

Supplies;







	 	(5)	 	Repair and Maintenance. Leveraging of resources to promote the
efficient and effective repair and maintenance of the various components of the
Development;







	 	(6)	 	Employment Matters. Coordination of union human resources matters,

	 	(9)	 	Other. Such other matters as the Senior Development Management Team
shall determine to be reasonably necessary or advisable to promote the efficient and
effective operation of the Development as described above.






Hyatt acknowledges that Owner may elect, in connection with the non-Hotel components, to provide to
the guests of the non-Hotel components access to certain Hotel facilities. Hyatt shall reasonably
cooperate with Owner, and with the persons entitled to such access, it being understood and agreed,
however, that Hyatt shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and approve such arrangements,
provide input and suggestions with respect thereto, and satisfy itself that the Hotel facilities to
which access is being granted are of sufficient size and capacity to permit use thereof by such
additional persons without thereby adversely affecting use thereof by Hotel guests and patrons.
Notwithstanding the preceding, the Hotel management shall have the exclusive right to control
ingress to and egress from areas of the Hotel that are intended to serve the Hotel guests
exclusively, and the Hotel management may limit access to and from the Hotel in its reasonable
discretion including, without limitation, in matters involving public safety.



C. A portion of the costs (the “Common Area Allocation”) relating to the Hotel and to
the non-Hotel components of the Development such as, for example, but not by way of limitation,
insurance, common area landscaping, site maintenance, trash removal, extermination and other such
costs intended for the benefit both of the Hotel and the non-Hotel portions of the Development,
shall be allocated for payment by the Hotel and the non-Hotel elements in a fair and reasonable
manner. Prior to the opening of the Hotel, Owner shall propose to Hyatt, for Hyatt’s review and
approval acting reasonably, the proposed allocation methodology for determining the Common Area
Allocation. The agreement of the parties in respect of the Common Area Allocation shall be set
forth in a supplemental document to this Agreement to be signed by both parties.

D. The Hotel shall pay, as an operating expense, a reasonable allocation (the “Marketing
Allocation”) of the actual out of pocket expenses incurred by Owner in marketing the overall
Development. Prior to the opening of the Hotel, Owner shall propose to Hyatt, for Hyatt’s review
and approval acting reasonably, the proposed allocation methodology for determining the Marketing
Allocation. The agreement of the parties in respect of the Marketing Allocation shall be set forth
in a supplemental document to this Agreement to be signed by both parties.



E. In respect of the Common Area Allocation and the Marketing Allocation, Owner shall provide
Hyatt, upon request, with reasonable substantiation to back-up the allocations. Hyatt shall have
the right not more than six (6) times during the Operating Term to audit, as a Hotel expense, the
allocations.



F. The Casino shall have its own signage, entrance and location within the Development. Hyatt
shall not manage the Casino. Owner has advised Hyatt, and Hyatt thereby acknowledges, that the
Casino will be operated by Owner’s affiliate which holds a gaming subconcession to manage and
operate casinos in Macau. Prior to the formal opening of the Hotel, Owner shall provide Hyatt, for
Hyatt’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, proposed
arrangements relating to (1) the provision of and charges for rooms and other Hotel services for
customers of the Casino and (2) to the use of and charges for Hotel services by Casino guests
including, without limitation, the ability for Casino guests to make charges for Hotel services on
to a guest account maintained at the Casino. To the extent that such rooms or services are
requested to be made available on a discounted basis, the extent to which Owner shall offset the
amount of the discount with revenue from the Casino must be set out in the agreed arrangements
referred to above. The parties acknowledge that the administrative details relating to the
relationship of the Hotel and Casino may need to be set forth in an agreement supplemental to this
Agreement, and that, in addition, more specific provisions embodying the terms of the preceding
sentence will need to be agreed upon. In that connection, Hyatt agrees that it shall negotiate in
good faith in all matters pertaining to the Casino and will, in all events, act reasonably so long
as the terms and provisions thereof shall not be inconsistent with the preceding provisions.



G. Should Owner’s affiliate not be the operator of the Casino at any time or for any reason
and the operator of the Casino is changed to another person and such change results in, or give
rise to an inquiry or other proceeding that could result in, a determination, ruling or order of a
government or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over either party to this Agreement and/or
its affiliates which objects to such party continuing this Agreement or which has the effect of
revoking or jeopardizing (or, should such determination, ruling or order be directed to a party to
this Agreement due to any contractual relationship it may have with another beyond such party’s
control, which could reasonably lead to revocation or jeopardy of) a material license held by such
party and/or its affiliate over a significant part of its or their business if such party continues
this Agreement, then such change of operator shall be considered and deemed to be an “Owner Sale”
as provided in Section 2A of Article XV hereof, and the provisions of such Section shall apply to
the change of Casino manager. Hyatt confirms that it has no objection to a change of the operator
of the Casino to another affiliate of Owner or a company economically owned jointly by Melco
International Development Limited and Crown Limited, provided that such change does not result in,
or give rise to an enquiry or other proceeding that could result in, a determination, ruling or
order as referred to above in this Section.

Article VII), after deducting therefrom, however, the amount of the payments and preliminary
installments paid under Sections 1.A and 1.B above, as the case may be.




For the purposes of this Article IV, Section 1:




“fiscal year” shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of
this Article.




“Gross Operating Profit” shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Article
V, Section 2 but with respect to the Relevant Cumulative Period in question.




“Initial Period” means the period commencing from the date of formal opening of the Hotel
(as referred to in Article 1, Section 7) or, if earlier the first day of partial
operations of the Hotel (if any) (as referred to in Article I, Section 6) up to and
including the last day of the third (3rd) fiscal year.

“Subsequent Period” means the period commencing from the first day of the fourth (4th)

Section 2. Payment of Fees.



Hyatt’s basic management and incentive fees (collectively referred to as “Hyatt’s
Fees”) shall be determined in Patacas and shall be payable in United States dollars at the
official rate of exchange prevailing on such dates as such fees shall be remitted, which fees shall
be remitted within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month. If Hyatt’s Fees are
remitted after thirty (30) days after the end of such calendar month, then such fees shall be
converted at the official rate of exchange prevailing on such dates as such fees are determined
(i.e., originally calculated). Hyatt shall through the General Manager, subject to and in
accordance with the requirements set out in Article III (in respect of signatories on the Operating
Bank Accounts) on behalf of the Owner, have the right to withdraw the amount of its fees from the
Operating Bank Accounts and, after deducting such income or withholding taxes imposed by the tax
authorities of Macau as shall be applicable to such fees (and the parties acknowledge that it is
intended that Hyatt is solely responsible for income taxes imposed on its net income attributable
to such fees), utilize such United States dollars or other currency
freely convertible into United States dollars that may be available in such bank accounts or
convert such net amount from Patacas to United States dollars and remit such dollars or other
foreign currency to its principal office or such other place as Hyatt may, from time to time,
designate. If exchange control regulations of Macau delay the conversion of any fees into United
States dollars, Hyatt may elect to receive and retain such fees in Patacas during the period of
such delay, but such election shall not constitute a waiver of Hyatt’s right to receive payment of
other fees in the future in United States dollars at the rate of exchange as aforesaid. In the
event that such fees shall be subject to any value added tax on turnover imposed by the tax
authorities of Macau, such fees shall be increased by the amount of such value added tax.

sufficient to assure the uninterrupted and efficient operation of the Hotel (including, without
limitation but subject to always to Article VII Section I, amounts then deemed by Hyatt to be
reasonably required to pay Hotel creditors, Hotel operating expenses, Hyatt’s fees and H.I.
reimbursements due hereunder, and amounts required to be credited to the Replacement Reserve all
incurred or required to be so retained subject to and in accordance with this Agreement), Hyatt
shall during the Total Period with respect to each month (or part thereof), cause to be paid
monthly to Owner at its principal office, or at such other place as Owner may, from time to time,
designate, an amount equal to the Gross Operating Profit calculated with respect to the immediately
preceding month but after deduction of Hyatt’s fees provided for in Section 1 of this Article
(hereinafter referred to as “Owner’s Profit Distribution” with respect to that preceding
month). Subject always to the retention of sufficient working capital as aforesaid, Owner’s Profit
Distribution for each such calendar month shall be transferred to Owner within thirty (30) days
following the end of such month.




Section 4. Year-end Adjustment.



If, for any fiscal year, Owner’s Profit Distribution due under Section 3 and/or the Hyatt’s

profit and loss statement certified by the independent public accountant pursuant to subsection C
of Section 4 of Article VII, be calculated to have been more or, as the case may be, less than the
actual amounts respectively paid in accordance with Section 3 and Section 1 above, with respect to
that fiscal year, Owner and/or Hyatt as the case may be shall respectively repay the amount of the
difference to the party owed within thirty (30) days after receipt by Owner of said profit and loss
statement.

years for all purposes, except that the first fiscal year shall be the period between the date of
the formal opening of the Hotel and December 31 of the same year, unless the period is three (3)
calendar months or less, in which event the first fiscal year shall be the period from the formal
opening of the Hotel until December 31 in the next succeeding year and the last fiscal year, if the
Operating Term shall be terminated prior to its expiry date including any extensions thereof, shall
be the period between January 1 of the year of termination and the date of such termination.

derived by the Hotel such as, without limitation, commercial tour operations;
provided, however, any commissions received from such activities shall be included

wear and tear excepted.




Section 2. Replacements of and Additions to Furnishings and Equipment.



Hyatt shall, through the General Manager and on behalf of the Owner procure the credit to a
reserve for the replacements of and additions to Furnishings and Equipment (the “Replacement
Reserve”) of (a) for the first 24 months of the Operating Term, for each month of that period
an amount equal to 2% of Revenue (if any) for the preceding month,(b) for the next 24 months of the

Subject to the retention of an amount equal to US$900,000, which amount shall be available for

necessary funds therefor, and the cost thereof shall be charged directly to current expenses or
shall be capitalized on the books of account in accordance with sound hotel accounting practices.
The costs of such replacements and additions that are capitalized shall be depreciated by charges
to the Hotel’s operating expenses over their estimated useful lives.



Any amounts remaining in the Replacement Fund at the termination of the agreement or the
expiration of the Operating Term shall be credited to Gross Operating Profit in the last fiscal
year of the Operating Term.

ARTICLE VII

General Covenants of Hyatt and Owner





Section 1. Opening Inventories and Working Capital.



Hyatt shall prepare for Owner’s approval an initial inventories and working capital budget in
respect to initial inventories and working capital required for the operation of the Hotel with the
format as outlined in Appendix C attached hereto (the “Initial Inventories and Working Capital
Budget”).



Owner shall:



(a) in advance of the formal opening of the Hotel, at such time as anticipated in the
Pre-Opening Plan, provide sufficient funds for the Operating Bank Accounts, house cash funds, and
inventories of food, beverages, and other items ready to be consumed, such as cleaning material
and paper supplies (herein referred to as “Operating Supplies”); and




(b) initially and throughout the Operating Term at its sole expense provide working capital
sufficient (to the extent there is or will be any insufficiency in amounts available in the
Operating Bank Accounts) to assure the timely payment of all current liabilities of the Hotel
(including Hyatt’s Fees payable under Section 1 of Article IV, the Chain Marketing Services payable
under Section 2 of this Article and reimbursement for out-of-pocket and other expenses incurred by
Hyatt or its affiliates for the account of the Hotel operation in all such foregoing cases, payable
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement);

CONFIDENTIAL; Do not copy or distribute



in each case so as to ensure the uninterrupted and efficient operation of the Hotel and the
performance by Hyatt of its obligations under this Agreement, provided that
such funds and working capital respectively shall be in amounts which are reasonable and
commensurate with Hyatt’s obligation to operate and manage the Hotel in a financially prudent
manner, subject to meeting Grand Hyatt Operating Standards. Initial estimates, in 2008 United
States dollars, indicate the Initial Inventories and Working Capital Budget for the Hotel to be
approximately US$5,000,000. Hyatt shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the best
possible credit conditions from the Hotel’s suppliers, and to convert into cash in the shortest
possible time the stocks of merchandise and pending accounts.



Hyatt shall, through the General Manager and on behalf of Owner, use commercially reasonable
efforts to operate the Hotel in a manner that maximizes efficiency and reduces expenses, subject to
the Hotel meeting the Grand Hyatt Operating Standards.




Section 2. Chain Marketing Services, Gold Passport and other Services.



Hyatt shall, in the operation of the Hotel and for the benefit of its guests, cause its
affiliates to provide outside Macau, convention, business and sales promotion services (including
the maintenance and staffing of H.I.’s home office sales force and regional sales offices in
various parts of the world), publicity and public relations services, reservation services and all
other group benefits, services and facilities including institutional advertising programs (which
exclude advertising in which one or more other H.I. hotels participates by mutual agreement and
shares the cost thereof), to the extent appropriate furnished to other hotels operated by H.I. and
its affiliates to Grand Hyatt Operating Standards (herein called “Chain Marketing
Services”).



Neither Hyatt, nor any other affiliate of Hyatt shall receive any profit for the rendition of
Chain Marketing Services. Hyatt’s affiliates shall, however, be entitled to be reimbursed for the
Hotel’s share (herein called “Chain Allocation”) of all costs incurred by Hyatt’s
affiliates including salaries of officers or employees, in the rendition of said services, and
shall also be reimbursed for reservation costs. Charges to the Hotel for Chain Marketing Services
(including reservation services) shall be made, commencing from the period 12 months prior to the
Target Opening Date of the Hotel, on the same basis as to the other hotels operated by H.I and its
affiliates to Grand Hyatt Operating Standards. The current 2008 formula for Chain Allocation is
based on US$394.00 per guest room, per annum, plus one percent (1%) of the gross room revenue of
the Hotel per annum during the Operating Term and period of partial operations, if any. The
Reservation charge is currently US$8.00 per gross reservation plus, in circumstances where H.I.’s
proprietary SPIRIT/RESERVE reservation system (or its successor) is used in making the reservation,
US$0.70 per such reservation. The Chain Allocation formula, the Reservation charge and the
reservation system charges are subject to change in the future, but all H.I. and its affiliates
hotels operated to Grand Hyatt Operating Standards shall be charged on the same basis. Hyatt shall
cause its affiliates to provide Owner with a copy of the audited annual Chain Allocation
expenditure statements.



In addition to charges for the above services, the Hotel shall be charged in connection with
the Gold Passport Program (or any program that replaces the Gold Passport Program) on the same
basis applicable to all H.I. and its affiliates hotels operated to Grand Hyatt Operating Standards.
The charge for the Gold Passport Program is currently four percent (4%) of the total charges
incurred by Gold Passport Members at a participating hotel, which amount will be paid into the Gold
Passport fund. The Hotel shall receive a Gold Passport per-formula payment when guests use Gold

receive any profit for the rendition of the Gold Passport Program.

Hyatt shall be reimbursed for the cost of performing internal audits, management operations
reviews to the extent set out in the Approved Annual Plan (“M.O.R.’s”) and specialized
training programs based on the executive time involved (averaging two to three weeks per audit or
M.O.R.) at the Hotel. The per diem charges currently range from US$200 to US$350 dependent upon

related to the premiums and coverage which may be required under the Financing Documents, and Hyatt
and the General Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply therewith.




Section 3. Right of Inspection and Review.



The duly authorized officers, accountants, employees, agents, and attorneys of Owner shall
have the right, upon reasonable notice to the General Manager of the Hotel, to enter upon any part
of the Hotel at all reasonable times during the Operating Term for the purpose of examining or
inspecting the Hotel or examining or making extracts from the books and records of the Hotel
operation, or for any other purpose which Owner, in its discretion, shall deem necessary or
advisable, but the same shall be done with as little disturbance to the operation of the Hotel as
possible and all inquiries arising out of such inspection and review shall be addressed only to
Hyatt or to the General Manager or such person or persons designated by him. Upon termination or
expiration of this Agreement, all books and records relating to the operation of the Hotel shall be
delivered by Hyatt to Owner. For a period of two (2) years following the expiration or earlier

fiscal year, a profit and loss statement, certified by an independent public accountant selected
from one of the four (4) largest international public accounting firms (the “Big Four”
firms) or their affiliates in Macau and retained by Hyatt, taken from the books of account of the
Hotel and showing the results of the operation of the Hotel during the preceding fiscal year,
containing a computation of the Gross Operating Profit, Hyatt’s Fees and Owner’s Profit

during such last fiscal year, containing computations of Revenue and Gross Operating Profit and the
basic management and incentive fees payable to Hyatt for such period. Hyatt agrees to provide
reasonable assistance to the accountant in the preparation of the annual statements. Provided that
said accountant’s opinions shall be unqualified, such certified statements shall be deemed correct
and conclusive for all purposes.



D. No later than November 1st of each calendar year during the Operating Term or as otherwise
reasonably required by Owner by notice to Hyatt to comply with the Financing Documents (provided
Owner so informs any requirement for such compliance in writing to Hyatt), Hyatt will prepare and
submit to Owner for the following calendar year (i) a forecasted budget of the Hotel’s operations,
including forecasts of revenues and operating expenses, estimates of necessary working capital and
the assumptions underlying the same; (ii) a proposed marketing plan; and (iii) a proposed budget of
capital expenditures (for this purpose, inclusive of additions to and replacements of Furnishings &
Equipment and additions, alterations and improvements pursuant to Section 3 of Article VI) for the
ensuing year. The materials described in clauses (i) and (ii) above are herein collectively
referred to as the “Operating Budget”, the budget referred to in clause (iii) above is
herein referred to as the “Annual CapEx Plan” and the Operating Budget and Annual CapEx
Plan are collectively referred to as the “Annual Plan” provided that once any of the
Operating Budget or the Annual CapEx Plan as the case may be is approved by Owner and Hyatt it
shall be the “Approved Operating Budget” , the “Approved Annual CapEx Plan” and the Approved
Operating Budget and the Approved CapEx Plan are collectively referred to as the “Approved
Annual Plan . Hyatt agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the
Hotel in a manner consistent with the Approved Annual Plan including both as relates to estimates
of actual amounts of expenditures, and the operating assumptions underlying the same.




(1) The Annual Plan shall be prepared in accordance with Hyatt’s standard
internal planning and budgeting procedures on Hyatt’s standard formats but so as
to comply with any reasonable requests of Owner to enable compliance with the
Financing Documents and provided Owner provides Hyatt in writing all necessary
information Hyatt requires in order to comply with such requests. Owner agrees
that it shall promptly review all Operating Budgets and Annual CapEx Plans
submitted to it, and Hyatt agrees that it shall provide
Owner with such additional and supplemental information with respect thereto
as shall be reasonably requested by Owner and which may be prepared or compiled
without unreasonable delay, expense or interruption of normal operations.

(2) Promptly after submission of the Annual Plan, representatives of Owner
and Hyatt shall meet at the Hotel or at such other location as may be mutually
agreed and at a mutually convenient time to discuss, and attempt in good faith to
agree upon, the Annual Plan as provided below.



E. All items of expenditure contained in the Operating Budget shall be subject to approval of
Owner, with the exception of the following: (i) costs associated with contracts or arrangements
Hyatt or H.I. has made on a chain-wide, regional or business-segment basis in accordance with
Hyatt’s authority under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) individual compensation levels for Hotel
employees or for Hyatt or H.I. benefit programs subject to and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement; (iii) items (such as room rates, menu or banquet prices, and the like) affecting the
estimate of Hotel revenues; or (iv) other expenditures required to be paid or reimbursed to Hyatt
or its affiliates for services provided by Hyatt or its affiliates under the express provisions of
this Agreement including, without limitation, expenditures for Management Fees, Chain Allocation,
reservation costs, and Gold Passport. Owner shall not withhold its approval for any expenditures
which are reasonably necessary, in nature or amount, to enable the Hotel to continue operating in
accordance with Grand Hyatt Operating Standards. Notwithstanding the preceding exceptions
regarding Hyatt’s right to establish revenue and expenditure items, Owner shall have the right to
suggest changes in such items if it considers the changes reasonably necessary to achieve the Key
Operating Principles or if it considers such amounts are not reasonable, subject in all respects to
the maintenance of the Grand Hyatt Operating Standards identified in this Agreement. To the extent
Hyatt disagrees with suggested changes, Hyatt shall provide Owner explanation for its disagreement
explaining why such items meet the Key Operating Principles or the costs thereof are reasonable (to
maintain Grand Hyatt Operating Standards), as the case may be. The parties will seek to resolve any
dispute as to whether an item of expenditure meets the Key Operating Principles or is reasonable
(to maintain Grand Hyatt Operating Standards), as the case may be, in accordance with subsection E
(1) below, failing which the dispute shall be submitted to an independent, internationally
recognized hotel consulting firm or individual who is qualified to resolve the issue in question,
and which has at least ten (10) years of international hospitality consulting experience with
regional knowledge of the hospitality industry, which is appointed in each instance by agreement of
the parties or, failing agreement, each party shall select one (1) such independent,
internationally recognized consulting firm or individual and the two (2) respective firms and/or
individuals so selected shall select another such independent, internationally recognized
consulting firm or individual to be the expert (the “Expert”), who shall act as an expert
and not as arbitrator to resolve the matter. The decision of the Expert shall be binding upon
Hyatt and Owner and shall be made by not later than the 31st day of December of the year
in which the Annual Plan has been submitted for review, and resolution of Operating Budget disputes
by the Expert shall be the sole and exclusive process for resolution, Hyatt and Owner agreeing that
any such disputes as aforesaid shall not be subject to arbitration hereunder. The costs of the
Expert must be paid equally by the parties.

(1) Hyatt shall take into consideration the views and suggestions of Owner
regarding all aspects of the Operating Budget and both Owner and Hyatt shall
attempt, in good faith, to reach a
mutually satisfactory agreement, and thereupon to incorporate any such
agreements into the Operating Budget. In this connection, in addition to its
other rights above, Owner shall have the right to suggest changes in operating
policies and in the proposed Operating Budget which it considers reasonably
necessary to achieve the objectives of near-term and long-term maximization of
Hotel profits, subject in all respects to the Grand Hyatt Operating Standards. To
the extent Hyatt disagrees with Owner’s suggestions and comments, Hyatt shall
provide written explanations for its disagreements. Promptly following the
foregoing discussions and explanations, Hyatt shall submit a revised Operating
Budget for further comment and discussion in the manner set forth above.
Thereafter, the parties shall continue to discuss the Operating Budget until such
time as both Hyatt and Owner shall have reached agreement on all items comprising
the Operating Budget for which Owner has approval rights hereunder.




(2) Until such time as the parties have agreed on all line items of the
proposed Operating Budget for which Owner has approval rights hereunder, Hyatt
shall have the right to operate the Hotel in accordance with an Operating Budget
comprised of those line items which do not require Owner approval hereunder, those
line items that have theretofore been agreed upon by Owner and Hyatt and, only
with respect to those line items not yet approved by Owner (and for which Owner
has approval rights hereunder), the standards of operation and operating policies
in effect during the preceding calendar year (or, with respect to the Hotel’s
first fiscal year, as proposed by Hyatt in connection with the takeover of the
Hotel)




(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4 of Article
VII, Owner and Hyatt both acknowledge that the forecasts of revenues and estimated
expenses contained in the Operating Budget represent Hyatt’s best estimate of the
same for the following calendar year and not in any way a guarantee of actual
results. Actual revenues and expenses can vary from forecasts and estimates for
reasons beyond the reasonable control of Hyatt including, without limitation, the
following: (a) the volume of business and the levels of hotel occupancy; (b) the
mix of business (that is, the relationship of food and beverage revenues to other
hotel related revenues and the relationship of group business to individual travel
business); (c) prevailing wage rates and the effects of collective bargaining
agreements; (d) inflation; (e) utility rates, insurance premiums and tax
increases; (f) unanticipated and extraordinary repair and maintenance expenses;
(g) the need to meet competitive market conditions; and (h) other similar causes.
Owner acknowledges that so long as Hyatt adheres to its covenants in this
Agreement including, without limitation, to use commercially reasonable efforts to
operate the Hotel in a manner consistent with the Approved Annual Plan and
provided that Hyatt acts with all reasonable care in preparing each Annual Plan
and Approved Annual Plan based on reasonable assumptions, Hyatt shall have no
liability to Owner, and shall not otherwise be deemed in default hereunder, if
actual operating results vary from the Approved Annual Plan.

(4) If at any time during the year Hyatt anticipates that revenues shall be
less or expenditures shall be more than those forecasted in the Approved Annual
Plan, Hyatt shall submit revisions to the Approved Annual Plan for Owner approval
as provided above; provided, however, in no event shall the need for any such
reforecasting of the Approved Annual Plan, or any portion of it, be deemed a
default by Hyatt hereunder.




F. All items of expenditure contained in the Annual CapEx Plan shall be subject to
Owner’s approval (provided, however, Owner agrees that it shall approve the Annual CapEx
Plan or relevant portions thereof that are reasonably necessary in order to enable the
Hotel to meet the Grand Hyatt Standards). If Owner does not approve the proposed Annual
CapEx Plan, or any line items or specific capital expenditure projects within the proposed
Annual CapEx Plan, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the same to Owner, then such
Annual CapEx Plan, or such line item(s) or capital expenditure projects not specifically
disapproved by Owner, as the case may be, shall be deemed approved. In the event of any
disapproval, Owner and Hyatt shall meet and confer in good faith in an effort to reconcile
differences and reach consensus during the thirty (30) day period thereafter.




(1) If, by the end of the sixty (60) day period following Hyatt’s submission
of the Annual CapEx Plan to Owner, Owner has yet to approve the Annual CapEx Plan
or any portion thereof, Hyatt shall notify Owner in writing of any capital
expenditure(s) Hyatt deems necessary for the Hotel to meet the Grand Hyatt
Standards (collectively, the “Disputed Capital Expenditures”). If Owner
does not agree to approve the Disputed Capital Expenditures in the Annual CapEx
Plan, within thirty (30) days after delivery of Hyatt’s notice, Hyatt shall have
the right to submit the issue of whether the Disputed Capital Expenditures are
necessary to enable the Hotel to meet the Grand Hyatt Standards to arbitration as
provided in Article XIV. The arbitrator’s determination shall be final and
binding on both Owner and Hyatt.




(2) Hyatt may not incur capital expenditures that are in excess of those
required or permitted under the Approved Annual Plan except for the following: (i)
expenditures for the replacement of or additions to Furnishings & Equipment from
funds then on deposit or to be deposited in the Replacement Fund which do not
exceed US$100,000 for any single expenditure, with maximum in any event of
US$500,000 in the aggregate in any calendar year, which amounts shall on an annual
basis be adjusted by the Consumer Price Index of Macau S.A.R.; and (ii)
expenditures, including capital expenditures, which Hyatt reasonably deems
necessary to minimize personal injury and property damage in cases of casualty or
other emergency, or which Hyatt deems reasonably necessary in order to comply with
applicable legal requirements.

ARTICLE VIII

Insurance





Section 1. Insurance to be Maintained by Owner.



Owner shall, at its expense, at all times during the period of construction, furnishing and
equipping of the Hotel and at such times during the Operating Term as Owner shall be making
essential repairs, changes and replacements and other repairs and changes as provided in Sections 4
and 5 of Article VI, procure and maintain public liability and property damage insurance in
financially responsible insurance companies against loss or damage arising in connection with the
preparation, construction, furnishing and equipping and any pre-opening activities of the Hotel or
in connection with such repairs, changes and replacements made during the Operating Term. Owner
shall further, at its expense, at all times from the commencement of the construction of the Hotel
and during the Operating Term, procure and maintain insurance for the full replacement value of the
Hotel in financially responsible insurance companies against all risks of physical loss or damage
to the Hotel and its contents from, including, but not limited to, fire, boiler explosion, and such
other risks and casualties for which insurance is customarily provided for hotels of similar
character. If possible, such policy shall also cover “business interruption” (loss of profits or
fixed costs), in respect of both Owner and Hyatt. All policies shall provide that Owner (and, at
Owner’s request, any mortgagee or Lender) be named insureds and that Hyatt, H.I. and its
subsidiaries, and Hyatt Corporation be named as additional insureds thereby, as their interests
may, from time to time, appear. The fire and extended coverage policy insuring damage to the
building and contents shall provide that the insurance company agrees to waive any rights of
subrogation against Hyatt, H.I. and its subsidiaries, and Hyatt Corporation. During the Operating
Term and for the pre-opening activities (where appropriate), Owner shall procure and maintain
workmen’s compensation insurance for the employees of the Hotel.



All insurances to be maintained by Owner under this Section 1 shall be subject to reasonable
deductibles as customarily maintained by similar hotels managed by international management
companies and as specified on the policies. Such insurances shall also be in the form and subject
to terms and conditions as may be required by Owner’s Lenders (but shall in no event be less than
the coverages required under the terms of this Agreement). Owner shall, upon request, furnish to
Hyatt satisfactory evidence of all insurance maintained by Owner pursuant to this Section 1.




Section 2. Insurance to be Maintained by Hyatt.



Hyatt shall, through the General Manager, procure and maintain at all times during the
Operating Term and for the pre-opening activities (where appropriate), the following insurance, if
available on usual terms and at customary rates:




(A) Public and products liability insurance, including a cross liability
clause, for limit of indemnity of not less than US$50,000,000 in respect of any
one occurrence and in annual aggregate including but not limited to personal
injury, property damage, innkeeper’s liability and advertising liability;
automobile liability insurance required under applicable laws; and crime insurance
for limit of indemnity of US$25,000,000 in respect of any one occurrence,
including, but not limited to, employee fidelity.




(B) Workmen’s compensation, employers’ liability or other such insurance as
may be required under applicable laws or which Hyatt shall deem advisable, for the
employees of Hyatt or H.I. or any of their respective affiliates or of other
hotels of H.I. that Hyatt may assign temporarily as full-time members of the
executive staff of the Hotel.


 


34









 






CONFIDENTIAL; Do not copy or distribute



(C) In its discretion, Hyatt or the General Manager, may maintain such other
insurance as it or he/she shall deem necessary for protection against claims,
liabilities and losses, wherever asserted, determined or incurred, arising from
the operation to Grand Hyatt Standards of the Hotel in accordance with this
Agreement.



The insurance policies referred to in this Section may contain provisions for deductibility
and Hyatt may elect to maintain all or part of such insurance under an arrangement insuring one or
more hotels operated by Hyatt or its affiliates, in which event the cost of such insurance shall be
allocated by Hyatt to the Hotel on a reasonable basis. All policies shall provide that Hyatt, H.I.
and its subsidiaries and Hyatt Corporation, be named insureds and, if requested by Owner, Owner
(and, at Owner’s request, any mortgagee or Lender) be named as additional insureds thereby, as
their interests may, from time to time, appear. All insurance policies maintained by Hyatt
pursuant to this Article VIII shall be primary to any insurance maintained by Owner.



All insurances to be maintained by Hyatt under this Section 2 shall be in the form and subject
to the terms and conditions as may reasonably be required by Owner’s Lenders. Hyatt shall, through
the General Manager on behalf of Owner, upon request, furnish to Owner satisfactory evidence of all
insurance maintained by Hyatt pursuant to this Section 2.



ARTICLE IX

Damage to and Destruction of the Hotel




If the Hotel or any portion thereof shall be damaged or destroyed at any time or times during
the Operating Term by fire or any insured casualty, provided that the funds to do so are being made
available by the Lenders to the Owner, and Lenders are not otherwise currently preventing the Owner
from doing so, the Owner shall, at its cost and expense and with due diligence, repair, rebuild or
replace the same so that after such repairing, rebuilding or replacing, the Hotel shall be
substantially the same as prior to such damage or destruction. Except to the extent the same is in
contradiction of the terms of the Financing Documents, if Owner fails to commence such repair,
rebuilding or replacing work within ninety (90) days after the fire or other casualty, or shall
fail to complete the same diligently, Hyatt may, but shall not be obligated to, undertake or
complete such work for the account of Owner and shall be entitled to be repaid therefor as provided
in Article XI, and the proceeds of insurance shall accordingly be made available to Hyatt and
Hyatt and Owner shall ensure that any proceeds from insurance shall be applied to such repairing,
rebuilding or replacing.




Notwithstanding the foregoing, if:



(i) the Hotel is damaged or destroyed to such an extent that the cost of repairs or
restoration as reasonably estimated by Owner exceeds thirty percent (30%) of the full replacement
cost (excluding land, excavations, footings and foundations) of the Hotel; or



(ii) the Hotel is damaged or destroyed to such an extent that the estimated time for repair or
restoration thereof, in the reasonable opinion of Owner, shall exceed eighteen (18) months from the
commencement of such repair or restoration; or


 


35









 





CONFIDENTIAL; Do not copy or distribute



(iii) the damage or destruction shall occur at any time within the last three (3) years of the
Operating Term (unless Hyatt shall have any remaining extension
options, in which event this provision shall apply only to an occurrence in the last three (3)
years of the last extension of the Operating Term, or during the last year of the initial Operating
Term or the then applicable extended Operating Term if Hyatt has failed theretofore to have
exercised its extension option);



and if in connection with any of the foregoing, Owner elects not to rebuild or restore the Hotel,
then Owner shall be entitled to elect by notice to Hyatt given at any time within one hundred
eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction to terminate this Agreement
without liability to Hyatt or Owner by reason of such termination; provided, however, if Owner
terminates this Agreement by reason of any of the foregoing provisions, and Owner thereafter
nevertheless commences repair or restoration or rebuilding of a first-class hotel on the Hotel Site
utilizing the proceeds of replacement cost insurance (and such proceeds are of themselves,
sufficient for this purpose), at any time within three (3) years following any such termination,
Hyatt shall have the right (but not the obligation) exercisable at any time within ninety (90) days
after Hyatt has actual knowledge of Owner’s intention to rebuild or restore the Hotel, to elect to
manage and operate the rebuilt or restored Hotel in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement from the opening date of the rebuilt or restored Hotel and for the unexpired Term
(including any extensions) remaining as of the date of the damage or destruction event which
resulted in Owner’s termination hereof. If there shall be any dispute between Owner and Hyatt as
to whether Owner’s estimate of the cost of restoration, the full replacement cost of the Hotel, or
the estimated time for repair or restoration is reasonable under the circumstances, the said
dispute shall be submitted to arbitration conducted in accordance with the provisions of Article
XIV.



ARTICLE X

Condemnation




If the whole of the Hotel shall be taken or condemned in any eminent domain, condemnation,
compulsory acquisition or like proceeding by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public
use or purpose, or if such portion thereof shall be taken or condemned so as to make it imprudent
or unreasonable, in Hyatt’s or Owner’s reasonable opinion, to use the remaining portion as a hotel
of the type and class immediately preceding such taking or condemnation, then the Operating Term
shall terminate as of the date of such taking or condemnation. Hyatt shall have the right to seek
an independent award from the authority exercising its rights of eminent domain for the value of
this Agreement.



Except to the extent that the following is in contradiction of the terms of the Financing
Documents, if only a part of the Hotel shall be taken or condemned and the taking or condemnation
of such part does not make it unreasonable or imprudent, in Hyatt’s reasonable opinion, to operate
the remainder as a hotel of the type and class immediately preceding such taking or condemnation,
this Agreement shall not terminate, but so much of any award made to Owner shall be made available
as shall be reasonably necessary for making alterations or modifications of the Hotel, or any part
thereof, so as to make it a satisfactory architectural unit as a hotel of similar type and class
prior to the taking or condemnation. Except to the extent that the following is in contradiction
of the terms of the Financing Documents, the balance of the award, after deduction of the sum
necessary for such alterations or modifications, shall be fairly and equitably apportioned between
Owner and Hyatt, so as to compensate Hyatt and Owner for their respective losses of income
resulting from the taking or condemnation.

ARTICLE XI

Right to Perform Covenants and Reimbursement




If Hyatt at any time shall fail, within the time limit and after due notice as specified in
Article XII, to make any payment or to perform any act to be made or performed by it pursuant to
this Agreement, Owner may without further notice to or demand upon Hyatt, and without waiving or
releasing Hyatt from any obligations under this Agreement, make or procure such payment or perform
or procure performance of such act. All sums so paid and all necessary incidental costs and
expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Owner, together with interest
thereon at the best lending rate of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited from the
date of making such expenditures or such performance shall be payable by Hyatt to Owner upon
demand.



If Owner shall fail, within the time limit and after due notice as specified in Article XII,
to make any payment or perform any act to be made or performed by it pursuant to this Agreement,
Hyatt may, without further notice to or demand upon Owner and without waiving or releasing Owner
from any of its obligations under this Agreement, make such payment or perform such act. All sums
so paid by Hyatt, and all necessary costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance
of any such act by Hyatt together with interest thereon at the best lending rate of The Hongkong
and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited from the date of Hyatt’s making of such expenditures, as
well as all sums properly payable by Owner to Hyatt or its affiliates, together with interest
thereon at the rate above specified from the date on which payment to Hyatt therefor is due, shall
be payable to Hyatt by Owner upon demand, or at the option of Hyatt, may be deducted from any
installment or installments of Owner’s Profit Distribution then due or thereafter becoming due
under this Agreement.



With the exception of emergency cases, neither party shall have the right to make any payment
or to perform any act, if there is a bona fide dispute between the parties as to the necessity
thereof and such dispute has been submitted to arbitration.



ARTICLE XII

Defaults





The following shall constitute events of default:




(1) The failure of either party to make any payment to the other provided for
herein for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after such payment is payable;




(2) The filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or a
petition for reorganization under any bankruptcy law by either party;




(3) The consent to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or the failure to
vacate within sixty (60) calendar days from the date of entry thereof of any order
approving an involuntary petition by either party;




(4) The appointment of a receiver for all or any substantial portion of the
property of either party;

CONFIDENTIAL; Do not copy or distribute




(5) The entering of an order, judgment or decree by any court of competent
jurisdiction, on the application of a creditor, adjudicating either party as
bankrupt or insolvent or approving a petition seeking reorganization or appointing
a receiver, trustee or liquidator of all or a substantial part of such party’s
assets, and such order, judgment or decree shall continue unstayed and in effect
for any period of one hundred twenty (120) consecutive calendar days;




(6) The failure by Owner to build the Hotel in accordance with Grand Hyatt
Standards or to cure defects or deficiencies of which Hyatt shall notify Owner
under Article I and in each case the continuance of any such failure for a period
of thirty (30) calendar days after notice of said failure;




(7) The failure by either party to perform, keep or fulfill any of the other
material covenants, undertakings, obligations or conditions set forth in this
Agreement, and the continuance of any such default for a period of thirty (30)
calendar days after notice of said failure;




(8) The termination of the TSA, provided such termination results from a
default thereunder and such termination is in accordance with the terms hereof;
and




(9) If Hyatt knowingly does or, omits to do, or permits to be done or omitted
any matter or thing that it knows is reasonably likely to result in the
termination or suspension of the Owner’s affiliate’s gaming sub-concession with
the government of Macau S.A.R.



In any of such events of default, the non-defaulting party may give to the defaulting party
notice of intention to terminate this Agreement after the expiration of a period of thirty (30)
calendar days from the date of such notice, and upon the expiration of such period, this Agreement
shall terminate. If, however, upon receipt of such notice, the defaulting party shall promptly
cure the default, then such notice shall be of no force and effect or, when such default cannot be
cured within thirty (30) calendar days, if the defaulting party shall take action to cure such
default with all due diligence, then the effective date of the termination notice shall be extended
for such reasonable time as shall be required for the defaulting party to cure such default.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the default set forth in Paragraph (8) above, any
termination of the TSA as contemplated in Paragraph (8) shall result in the immediate termination
of this Agreement, provided that contemporaneously with such termination, Owner shall pay all fees
and reimbursements due and payable to Hyatt under the terms of this Agreement, including without
limitation, all outstanding Hyatt’s Fees provided that no event or circumstance set out in this
Article XII has then occurred (other than under paragraph (8) of this Article XII) which would
entitle Owner to terminate this Agreement.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be deemed to be in default under this
Agreement if a bona fide dispute as to the occurrence of any of the foregoing events of default has
arisen between the parties and such dispute has been submitted to arbitration.

ARTICLE XIIA

Force Majeure




In the event that any party hereto shall be rendered unable to carry out the whole or any part
of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of acts of God, acts of government in exercise of
its sovereign power, other force majeure, strikes, wars, riots, civil commotion, acts of terrorism,
and any other causes of such nature, then the performance of the obligations hereunder of that
party or all the parties hereto as the case may be and as they are affected by such cause shall be

Section 1. Name of Hotel.



During the Operating Term, the Hotel shall at all times be known and designated as either
“Grand Hyatt Macau” or “Grand Hyatt City of Dreams” (in English), at the Owner’s
election, and, in Chinese, as
“” or
“” (or such other Chinese name
equivalent for “Grand Hyatt City of Dreams” as may be suggested by Owner), except as may otherwise
be mutually agreed by Owner and Hyatt. Hyatt hereby covenants that it has the right and authority
to grant Owner a non-exclusive license to designate the Hotel under the said trade names. Subject

Dreams” name in connection with the operation of the Hotel as contemplated by this Agreement and
covenants that it has the right and authority to grant Hyatt a non-exclusive license to use the
name in respect of the operation of the Hotel. Hyatt will cause the trade names to be duly and
properly registered and protected in Macau and shall ensure that neither Hyatt, its affiliates nor
any third parties shall own, manage or operate another hotel under
the trade name “Grand
Hyatt” in English and/or
“” in Chinese in Macau during the continuance of this
Agreement. It is recognized, however, that the names “Hyatt”, “Regency”, “Hyatt Regency”, “Grand
Hyatt” and “Park Hyatt” when used alone or in conjunction with some other word or words, are the
exclusive property of H.I. and Hyatt Corporation. Accordingly, no right or remedy of Owner for any
default of Hyatt, nor delivery of the operation and management of the Hotel to Owner upon
expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement, nor any provision of this Agreement shall
confer upon Owner, or any transferee, assignee or successor of Owner or any person, firm or
corporation claiming by or through Owner, the right to use the names “Hyatt”, “Regency”, “Hyatt
Regency”, “Grand Hyatt” or “Park Hyatt” or
“”,
“”, or
“” in Chinese, either alone or in
conjunction with any other word or words, in the use or operation of the Hotel or otherwise. In
the event of any breach of this covenant by Owner, Hyatt shall be entitled to damages, to relief by
injunction, and to other legal rights or remedies, and this provision shall be deemed to survive
the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.



Upon the expiration or early termination of this Agreement, Owner shall change the name of the
Hotel to exclude the names “Hyatt” or “Grand
Hyatt” in English or
“”, or
“” in Chinese.

Subject to Hyatt’s review and written approval, which review Hyatt shall promptly undertake
following written request of Owner, Owner may use the name of the Hotel and the Hotel logo in
connection with the marketing for the Development including for use on any web site of the Owner
for the Development. Among other reasons, Hyatt may disapprove of any such use if Hyatt deems the
depiction of the Hotel logo inconsistent with Hyatt’s corporate marketing standards.




Section 2. Exclusivity.



During the Operating Term, Hyatt and its affiliates shall not own, manage, franchise, or
operate another hotel in Macau (the “Restricted Area”) under a trade name that includes
“Hyatt” in English and/or
“” in Chinese. Other than the restriction set forth in the
preceding sentence, there shall be no restriction on Hyatt’s ability to own, manage, franchise or
otherwise permit the operation of hotels in the Restricted Area including any of the following:



(a) hotels under the trade name “Park Hyatt” or the corresponding Chinese name for “Park
Hyatt”, provided that, in respect of the period commencing as of the date hereof
and continuing through the first three (3) years of the Operating Term Hyatt shall have first
notified Owner, in writing, of its proposal to own, manage, franchise or otherwise permit the
operation of a hotel under the trade names “Park Hyatt” or the corresponding Chinese name for “Park
Hyatt” in the Restricted Area, such written notice (the “Park Hyatt Notice”) to include the
key commercial terms and Owner shall not have made a written offer to Hyatt to manage a hotel under
the trade names “Park Hyatt” or the corresponding Chinese name for “Park Hyatt” in the Restricted
Area on terms that are not materially less favorable to Hyatt than those set out in the Park Hyatt
Notice;



(b) timeshare facilities that are part of the “Hyatt Vacation Club” timeshare program;



(c) lodging facilities within the Restricted Area operated under brand names that do not
include the name “Hyatt”, notwithstanding that such facility may participate in and receive the
benefits of Chain Marketing Services and the other services described in Section 2 of Article VII;
or



(d) lodging facilities that are part of a chain of hotels recognized in the hospitality
industry generally as being a select or limited service hotel product offering including, without
limitation, “Hyatt Place” or “Hyatt Summerfield Suites” hotels, notwithstanding that such hotels
participate in and receive some of the benefits of the Chain Marketing Services and other services
described in Section 2 of Article VII.

In addition, but subject to Section 2A of this Article XV, Owner shall also have the right to
assign or transfer this Agreement (including the rights and obligations hereunder) (which transfer
Hyatt hereby consents to and shall agree to), or sell assign or transfer its interest in the Hotel,

Associated Company in connection with such financing and any agent, security agent, security
trustee or delegate appointed by such persons in connection with such financing or hedging
arrangements). In the event that the Owner assigns and/or transfers and/or novates its rights and
obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Non-Disturbance Agreement
dated on or around the date of this Agreement between Hyatt, Titleholder, Melco Crown (COD) Hotels
Limited and the Owner a copy of which is annexed hereto (the “RTU NDA”) then such
assignment or transfer or novation shall only be effective at such time as, and Hyatt undertakes to
ensure that, Hyatt’s rights and obligations hereunder are transferred or novated to the New
Operating Company (as defined in the RTU NDA) pursuant to the terms, mutatis mutandis, of
Clause 3.2(a)(ii), Clause 3.3 or Clause 3.6 of the RTU NDA.




Section 2A. Owner Sale.



In the event Owner elects to sell, assign or transfer the Hotel (or the persons who hold the
majority equity interest in Owner elect to sell, assign or transfer their majority equity interest
including a public offering of equity interests in Owner) to a person or entity, and the
acquisition by such person or entity results in, or gives rise to an inquiry or other proceeding
that could result in, a determination, ruling or order of a government or regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over either party and/or its affiliates which objects to such party continuing
this Agreement or which has the effect of revoking or jeopardizing (or, should such determination,
ruling or order be directed to a party to this Agreement due to any contractual relationship it may
have with another beyond such party’s control, which could reasonably lead to revocation or
jeopardy of) a material license held by such party and/or its affiliate over a significant part of
its or their business if such party continues this Agreement, then, in such event, Hyatt shall have
the right, subject to the provisions of the next paragraph, to terminate this Agreement by
providing not less than one-hundred twenty (120) days’ prior written notice of such termination.



In connection with a determination by (or notice from) any government or regulatory authority
that would, if carried to its logical conclusion, adversely affect or jeopardize a material license
as provided in the preceding paragraph before either party exercises its right to terminate this
Agreement, it shall afford to the other party (i) full access of official correspondence or other
records that provide explanation for the government or regulatory action, (ii) the ability to
consult with the affected party in good faith regarding the potential effect of the determination,
and (iii) an opportunity to
participate in any hearing or other proceeding that bears upon the determination giving rise
to the right to terminate this Agreement. It is the intention of this provision that any such
matter shall be viewed as affecting both parties hereunder such that both parties should be able to
address such a determination before any action to terminate is taken hereunder.

any occupant.



ARTICLE XVI

Further Instruments




Each party hereto covenants to the other party that it shall execute and deliver all other
appropriate supplemental agreements and other instruments, and take any other action, including
obtaining any government approval, necessary to make this Agreement fully and legally effective,
binding, and enforceable as between the parties and as against third parties. Owner, together with
Hyatt, shall take the appropriate steps to register this Agreement with the relevant government

If required under applicable law in Macau, Hyatt shall register its business as a service

required to register with the MFD no later than June 30, 2009. If Hyatt does not submit this
Agreement to the MFD for determination by March 1, 2009, Owner shall be permitted to submit the
Agreement for determination by the MDF, provided Owner shall first give Hyatt a written notice of
not less than fifteen (15) days before its submission of this Agreement to the MDF. If the MDF
determines that a registration by Hyatt is required, Hyatt shall register its business, and upon
request, immediately deliver to Owner the certified copy of the registration application with
acknowledgement of receipt by the MFD (“Form M1”), which shall be kept in Owner’s files. If the
MFD determines that a registration is not required, Hyatt shall have no obligation to register, and
shall have no obligation to deliver Form M1 to Owner. The parties hereto agree that unless the MFD
has made a final determination that Hyatt is not required to register, Owner shall have no
obligation to make, and Hyatt shall not claim, payment of any amount to Hyatt under this Agreement
until Hyatt has delivered the Form M1 to Owner and satisfied any other requirement of the MFD. The
parties hereto agree that if MFD has made a final determination that Hyatt is not required to
register, Owner shall have the obligation to make all payments required to be made under this
Agreement all in accordance with the terms hereof.

ARTICLE XX

Early Termination





Section 1. Performance Test.



Commencing with the earlier of (a) the third (3rd) full fiscal year after the
completion of the last component of the entire Development, as set forth in the final plan for the
Development, and (b) the sixth (6th) full fiscal year of the Operating Term, Owner shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement and any related agreements if, for any two (2)
consecutive full fiscal years of operation, excluding any year in which a claim of force majeure
(as defined in Article XIIA) exists, both (a) the Hotel’s RevPAR (as hereinafter defined) is less
than eighty percent (80%) of the weighted average (based
upon proportionate number of keys of each hotel) RevPAR of its Competitive Set (as hereinafter
defined) for each of the two (2) consecutive operating years in question AND (b) the Hotel’s Gross
Operating Profit is less than 80% of the Gross Operating Profit as projected for each such year in
the Approved Annual Plan for each such year (together the “Performance Test”). Notice of
Owner’s election to terminate shall be given in writing within sixty (60) days following the
delivery of the annual audited profit and loss statement for the second of two (2) failed
consecutive fiscal years. Failure by Hyatt to achieve the Performance Test contemplated in this
Section 1 shall not be deemed a default by Hyatt under this Agreement. For the purposes of this
Agreement, the term “RevPAR” shall mean the occupancy rate multiplied by the average daily room
rate of the Hotel or the Competitive Set, as applicable.



For purposes of this Section 1, the term Competitive Set means the international hotels
located in the area of Macau located at Cotai whose age, size (not less than 500 guestrooms),
guest standards, clientele, facilities, sizes and locations are comparable to and competitive with
those of the Hotel, which as at the date of this Agreement include hotels to be owned or operated
by any of the following (it being acknowledged that, at the time of execution hereof, not all of
the hotels have been built): Hilton International Corporation; Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide, Inc.; Shangri La Hotels Corporation; Fairmont Raffles Holdings Limited; Venetian Macau;
Far East Consortium International Limited; Marriott International; MGM; and Wynn Resorts Limited.
In the event that either party hereto in good faith believes that any hotel included in the
Competitive Set should be changed because such hotel(s) is no longer competitive with the Hotel (or
in the event any such Hotel is not built), such party shall propose a change to the other party,
and if the other party agrees, the parties shall designate a new list in writing signed by each of
them. If the non-proposing party does not agree, the proposing party shall have the right to
submit the dispute to binding arbitration as provided in Article XIV of this Agreement.




Section 2. Cure Rights.



In the event notice has been given to Hyatt of Owner’s election to terminate under Section 1
above, Hyatt shall have the right, within forty-five (45) days of receipt of Owner’s notice, to
cure such Performance Test failure on not more than one (1) occasion during the Operating Term by
paying to Owner an amount equal to the deficiency between Gross Operating Profit actually achieved
for each of the two (2) consecutive operating years in which the Performance Test was failed and
the amount equal to 80% of the projected Gross Operating Profit as projected for each such year in
the Annual Plan for each such year. In the event Hyatt elects to cure a Performance Test failure,
such cure payment shall be deemed a payment by Hyatt to Owner and none of such cure payment shall
be repayable to Hyatt. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate Hyatt to cure any
Performance Test failure, and the failure to cure the same shall not be deemed an Event of Default
by Hyatt under this Agreement.

APPENDIX D

Key Operating Principles





	1.	 	The role of the Hotel is to support the core business of gaming in the Casino by
providing accommodation and related hospitality services, in line with Grand Hyatt
Standards.

	 
	2.	 	When formulating business strategy, the parties should seek to ensure that the goals
and objectives of the Hotel are strategically aligned with those for the Casino and the
Development as a whole.

	 
	3.	 	The parties should seek to maximize REVPAR by ensuring the highest levels of
occupancy as the primary objective over a high room rate. In evaluating REVPAR, the
parties will use an appropriate competitive set including the other internationally
branded hotels in Macau.

	 
	4.	 	The parties should seek to attract business to the Hotel that will provide the
highest potential opportunities for on-spend, and which maximize the profit potential for
the Casino and throughout the rest of the Development.

	 
	5.	 	The Hotel should support the Casino by making its facilities available to the most
important patrons of the Casino as required provided that appropriate allocations will be
made so the Hotel does not incur undue expense.

	 
	6.	 	The Hotel should be operated in a manner that ensures maximum integration with, and
fully leverages the facilities available throughout the Development.

	 
	7.	 	It is recognized that Hyatt must (a) protect its brand integrity, (b) be able to
maintain the standards required to enable the Hotel to operate in accordance with the
Grand Hyatt Standards, and (c) match the performance of the Competitive Set
