 ENTERPRISE FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP 
 EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS AGREEMENT, is made by and between Frank H. Sanfilippo (the “Executive”) and ENTERPRISE FINANCIAL SERVICES CORP, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), effective as of December 1, 2004 (the “Effective
Date”). 
  
 WITNESSETH: 
  
 WHEREAS, Executive desires to be employed or to continue to be employed by
the Company, and the Company desires to employ or continue to employ Executive, on the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement. 
  

NOW, THEREFORE, for the reasons set forth above, and in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements herein set forth, the Company and Executive
agree as follows: 
  
 1. Employment. Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company hereby employs Executive for the Contract Term as hereafter defined. During the Contract Term, Executive shall serve in an executive capacity as Chief Financial Officer and shall
have such duties and responsibilities as the Board of Directors (the “Board”) may from time to time specify commensurate with the position of Chief Financial Officer. Executive shall comply with all polices and procedures of the Company
generally applicable to executive employees of the Company. Executive hereby accepts such employment and agrees to serve the Company in such capacities for the term of this Agreement. 
  
 2. Term of Employment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the term of this Agreement shall be for a
term commencing on the Effective Date and ending upon Executive’s death or termination of employment as hereafter provided (the “Employment Term”). The Contract Term may be extended by mutual written agreement of Executive and the
Company upon such terms, provisions and conditions which are mutually acceptable to Executive and the Company. 
  
 3. Devotion to Duties. Executive agrees that during the Employment Term he will devote all of his skill, knowledge, commercial
efforts and working time to the conscientious and faithful performance of his duties and responsibilities to the Company (except for (i) permitted vacation time and absence for sickness or similar disability and (ii) to the extent that it does not
interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder: (A) such reasonable time as may be devoted to the fulfillment of Executive’s civic and charitable activities and (B) such reasonable time as may be necessary from time to time
for personal financial matters). Executive will use his best good faith efforts to promote the success of the Company’s business and will cooperate fully with the Board in the advancement of the best interests of the Company. If requested by
the Board, Executive will agree to serve as a director or officer of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries without additional compensation. 

 4. Compensation of Executive. 
  
 4.1 Base Salary. During the Employment Term,
the Company shall pay to Executive as compensation for the services to be performed by the Executive a base salary of $155,000.00 per year (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be payable in installments in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll practice and shall be subject to such withholding as may be required by law. The Base Salary may be adjusted from time to time in the sole discretion of the Board, but shall not be reduced without the written consent of
Executive. 
  
 4.2 Targeted Bonus.
In addition to the compensation set forth elsewhere in this Section 4, for each calendar year during the Employment Term and any extensions thereof, the Executive shall qualify for a targeted annualized bonus (“Targeted Bonus”) based upon
meeting established targeted goals. The Targeted Bonus for calendar/fiscal year 2004 shall be $75,000.00. No later than the Company’s January Board meeting, the Company and Executive shall agree upon certain targeted financial and operating
goals (“Targets”) for that calendar year. The established Targets shall be consistent with the financial plan for the Company as adopted by the Company’s Board. Within 75 days after the end of each calendar year, the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer in collaboration with the Board (or a committee of the Board to which the Board has delegated such authority) shall make a good faith determination as to the extent to which the Targets have been met for the preceding
calendar year. If the Targets have been met, then Executive shall receive a Targeted Bonus for such preceding year. In the event that the established Targets are exceeded, then Executive shall be entitled to receive additional bonus amounts above
the Targeted Bonus as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in collaboration with the Board (or such committee of the Board) may determine in their discretion. If the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in collaboration with the Board (or
such committee of the Board) determines that the Targets have not been fully met, but minimum thresholds as may be established by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in collaboration with the Board (or such committee) have been met, the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer in collaboration with the Board (or such committee) shall make a good faith determination as to the extent that the Targets have been met and determine the amount of such Targeted Bonus to be awarded to the
Executive based proportionately upon the extent to which the Targets are determined to have been met. Executive shall also be eligible to receive such other bonuses or incentive payments as may be approved by the Board of Directors. 
  
 4.3 Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to
participate, during the Employment Term, in all regular employee benefit and deferred compensation plans established by the Company including, without limitation, any savings and profit sharing plan, incentive stock plan, dental and medical plans,
life insurance and disability insurance, such participation to be as provided in said employee benefit plans in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof as in effect from time to time and subject to any applicable waiting period. Executive
shall also be entitled to paid vacation during each year of the Employment Term in accordance with the Company’s vacation policy, but in no event shall such vacation be less than four weeks per calendar year. Vacation not used in any year shall
be forfeited and not carried over to any subsequent year. 
  

 2 

 4.4 Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company will provide for the payment or
reimbursement of all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, as such may change from time
to time. 
  
 5. Termination of Employment.

  
 5.1 Termination for Cause.
“Termination for Cause”, as hereinafter defined, may be effected by the Company at any time during the term of this Agreement by written notification to Executive, specifying in detail the basis for the Termination for Cause. Upon
Termination for Cause, Executive shall immediately be paid all accrued salary, bonus compensation to the extent earned for the calendar year immediately preceding termination, vested deferred compensation, if any, (other than pension plan or profit
sharing plan benefits which will be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan), any benefits under any plans of the Company in which the Executive is a participant to the full extent of the Executive’s rights under such plans,
accrued vacation pay for the year in which termination occurs, and any appropriate business expenses incurred by Executive reimbursable by the Company in connection with his duties hereunder, all to the date of termination, but Executive shall not
be paid any other compensation or reimbursement of any kind, including without limitation, severance compensation. “Termination for Cause” shall mean termination by the Company of Executive’s employment by the Company by reason of (a)
an order of any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company, (b) the willful failure of Executive substantially to perform his duties hereunder (other than any such failure due to Executive’s physical or mental
illness); (c) a willful breach by Executive of any material provision of this Agreement or of any other written agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates; (d) Executive’s commission of a crime that constitutes a felony or other crime
of moral turpitude or criminal fraud; (e) chemical or alcohol dependency which materially and adversely affects Executive’s performance of his duties under this Agreement; (f) any act of disloyalty or breach of responsibilities to the Company
by the Executive which is intended by the Executive to cause material harm to the Company; or (g) misappropriation or attempted misappropriation of any of the Company’s funds or property; or (h) Executive’s material violation of any
company policy applicable to the Executive. If subsequent to Executive’s termination of employment hereunder for other than Cause it is determined in good faith by the Company that the Executive’s employment could have been terminated for
Cause hereunder, Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have been terminated for Cause retroactively to the date the events giving rise to Cause concerned. 
  
 5.2 Termination Other Than for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement,
the Company may effect a “Termination Other Than For Cause”, as hereinafter defined, at any time upon giving written notice to Executive of such termination. Upon any Termination Other Than for Cause, subject to Executive’s compliance
with the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, Executive shall within 30 days after such termination be paid all accrued salary, bonus compensation to the extent earned for the calendar year immediately preceding termination, vested
deferred compensation (other than pension plan or profit sharing plan benefits which will 
  

 3 

 be paid in accordance with the applicable plan), accrued vacation pay for the year in which termination
occurs, any benefits under any plans of the Company in which Executive is a participant to the full extent of Executive’s rights under such plans, and any appropriate business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with his duties
hereunder, all to the date of termination. “Termination Other Than for Cause” shall mean any termination by the Company of Executive’s employment with the Company other than a termination pursuant to subsection 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 or
5.6. No “Termination Other Than For Cause” shall be made by the Company during any period of time that the Company is engaged in bona fide discussions regarding a potential “Change in Control” unless the Company specifically
agrees to provide all Severance Compensation to Executive provided in Section 6.1 of this Agreement. 
  
 5.3 Termination by Reason of Disability. If, during the term of this Agreement, the Executive, in the reasonable judgment of
the Board of Directors, (i) has failed to perform his duties under this Agreement on account of illness or physical or mental incapacity, and (ii) such illness or incapacity continues for a period of more than 90 consecutive days, or 90 days during
any 180 day period, the Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder by written notification to Executive and payment to Executive of all accrued salary, bonus compensation to the extent earned for the calendar
year immediately preceding termination, vested deferred compensation, if any, (other than pension plan or profit sharing plan benefits which will be paid in accordance with the applicable plans), accrued vacation pay for the year in which
termination occurs, any benefits under any plans of the Company in which Executive is a participant to the full extent of Executive’s rights under such plans, and any appropriate business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with his
duties hereunder, all to the date of termination, but Executive shall not be paid any other compensation or reimbursement of any kind, including without limitation, severance compensation. 
  
 5.4 Death. In the event of Executive’s
death during the term of this Agreement, Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have terminated as of the last day of the month during which his death occurs and the Company shall pay to his estate or such beneficiaries as Executive may from
time to time designate all accrued salary, bonus compensation to the extent earned for the calendar year immediately preceding termination, vested deferred compensation (other than pension plan or profit sharing plan benefits which will be paid in
accordance with the applicable plan), any benefits under any plans of the Company in which Executive is a participant to the full extent of Executive’s rights under such plans, accrued vacation pay for the year in which termination occurs, and
any appropriate business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with his duties hereunder, all to the date of termination, but Executive’s estate shall not be paid any other compensation or reimbursement of any kind, including without
limitation, severance compensation. 
  
 5.5
Voluntary Termination. In the event of a “Voluntary Termination,” as hereinafter defined, provided that the Executive provides the Company with at least 60 days notice of such termination (which notice and any requirement for
service may be waived or shortened by the Company), the Company shall within 30 days after such termination pay all accrued salary, bonus compensation to the extent earned, vested deferred compensation, if any, (other than pension plan or profit
sharing plan benefits 
  

 4 

 which will be paid in accordance with the applicable plans), any benefits under any plans of the Company
in which Executive is a participant to the full extent of Executive’s rights under such plans, accrued vacation pay for the year in which termination occurs, and any appropriate business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with his
duties hereunder, all to the date of termination, but no other compensation or reimbursement of any kind, including without limitation, severance compensation. “Voluntary Termination” shall mean termination by Executive of Executive’s
employment other than (i) termination by reason of Executive’s disability as described in subsection 5.3, (ii) termination by reason of Executive’s death as described in subsection 5.4, and (iii) Termination Upon a Change in Control as
described in subsection 5.6. 
  
 5.6
Termination Upon a Change in Control. In the event of a “Termination Upon a Change in Control,” as hereinafter defined, Executive shall immediately be paid all accrued salary, bonus compensation to the extent earned, vested
deferred compensation, if any, (other than pension plan or profit sharing plan benefits which will be paid in accordance with the applicable plans), any benefits under any plans of the Company in which Executive is a participant to the full extent
of Executive’s rights under such plans, vacation pay for the year in which termination occurs, and any appropriate business expenses incurred by Executive in connection with his duties hereunder, all to the date of termination, and all
severance compensation provided in subsection 6.1. “Termination Upon a Change in Control” shall mean a termination by the Company (other than a Termination for Cause) or by Executive, in either case within one year following a “Change
in Control” as hereinafter defined. “Change in Control” shall mean the date on which any of the following has occurred: 
  
 (a) any individual, entity or group (a “Person”), other than one or more of the Company’s directors on the Effective Date
of this Agreement or any Person that any such director controls, becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors of the Company (the “Company Outstanding Voting Securities”); 
  
 (b) any Person becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of
Enterprise Bank entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of Enterprise Bank (“Bank Outstanding Voting Securities”); 
  
 (c) consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation (a “Business Combination”) of the Company, unless, in each case,
following such Business Combination (i) all or substantially all of the Persons who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Company Outstanding Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, more than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the company resulting from such Business Combination, (ii) no Person (excluding any
company resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the company
resulting from such Business Combination except to the 
  

 5 

 extent such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (iii) at least a majority of the
members of the Board of Directors of the company resulting from the Business Combination are Continuing Directors (as hereinafter defined) at the time of the execution of the definitive agreement, or the action of the Board, providing for such
Business Combination; 
  
 (d) consummation of the
sale, other than in the ordinary course of business, of more than 50% of the combined assets of the Company and its subsidiaries in a transaction or series of related transactions during the course of any twelve-month period; or 
  
 (e) the date on which Continuing Directors (as hereinafter
defined) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company. 
  
 As used in this Section 5.6, the definitions of the terms “beneficial owner” and “group” shall have the meanings ascribed to those
terms in Rule 13(d)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As used in this Section 5.6, the term “Continuing Directors” shall mean, as of any date of determination, (i) any member of the Board of Directors on the Effective Date of
this Agreement, (ii) any person who has been a member of the Board of Directors for the two years immediately preceding such date of determination, or (iii) any person who was nominated for election or elected to the Board of Directors with the
affirmative vote of the greater of (A) a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of the Board of Directors at the time of such nomination or election or (B) at least four Continuing Directors but excluding, for purposes of this clause
(iii), any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies by or on behalf
of a Person other than the Board of Directors of the Company. “Control” means the direct or indirect ownership of voting securities constituting more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued voting securities of a corporation. 
  
 5.7 Resignation Upon Termination. Effective
upon any termination under this Section 5 or otherwise, Executive shall automatically and without taking any further actions be deemed to have resigned from all positions then held by him with the Company and all of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates.

  
 6. Severance Compensation 
  
 6.1 Termination Upon Change in Control. In the
event Executive’s employment is terminated in a Termination Upon a Change in Control, Executive shall be paid the following as severance compensation: 
  
 (a) For two (2) years following such termination of employment, an amount (payable on the dates specified in subsection 4.1 except as
otherwise provided herein) equal to the Base Salary at the rate payable at the time of such termination plus (i) any accrued and unpaid benefits due Executive under paragraph 4.3 of this Agreement and (ii) an amount equal to the Targeted Bonuses due
(based on the Base Salary then in effect) for the year in which such 
  

 6 

 termination of employment occurs (determined as though all requisite targets were fully and completely
achieved). Notwithstanding any provision in this paragraph (a) to the contrary, Executive may, in Executive’s sole discretion, by delivery of a notice to the Company within 30 days following a Termination Upon a Change in Control, elect to
receive from the Company a lump sum severance payment by bank cashier’s check equal to the present value of the flow of cash payments that would otherwise be paid to Executive pursuant to this paragraph (a). Such present value shall be
determined as of the date of delivery of the notice of election by Executive and shall be based on a discount rate equal to the prime rate, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, or similar publication, on the date of delivery of the
election notice. If Executive elects to receive a lump sum severance payment, the Company shall make such payment to Executive within 30 days following the date on which Executive notifies the Company of Executive’s election. 
  
 (b) In the event that Executive is not otherwise entitled to
fully exercise all awards granted to him under any stock option plan maintained by the Company and any such plan does not otherwise provide for acceleration of exerciseability upon the occurrence of the Change in Control described herein, such
awards shall become immediately exercisable upon a Change in Control. 
  
 (c) All restricted stock granted to Executive will vest and become transferable. 
  
 (d) Executive shall for one year following termination of employment continue to accrue retirement benefits and shall continue to enjoy
any benefits under any plans of the Company in which Executive is a participant to the full extent of Executive’s rights under such plans, including any perquisites provided under this Agreement; provided, however, that the benefits under any
such plans of the Company in which Executive is a participant, including any such perquisites, shall cease upon Executive’s obtaining other employment. If necessary to provide such benefits to Executive, the Company shall, at its election,
either: (i) amend its employee benefit plans to provide the benefits described in this paragraph (c), to the extent that such is permissible under the nondiscrimination requirements and other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
“Code”) and the provisions of Executive Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or (ii) provide separate benefit arrangements or cash payments so that Executive receives amounts equivalent thereto, net of tax consequences. 
  
 6.2 Termination Upon Any Other Event. In the
event of a Voluntary Termination, Termination For Cause, termination by reason of Executive’s disability pursuant to subsection 5.3 or termination by reason of Executive’s death pursuant to subsection 5.4, Executive or his estate shall not
be paid any severance compensation. 
  
 7.
Confidentiality. Executive agrees to hold in strict confidence all non-public information concerning any matters affecting or relating to the business of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, including without limiting the
generality of the foregoing non-public information concerning their manner of operation, business or other plans, data bases, marketing 
  

 7 

 programs, protocols, processes, computer programs, client lists, marketing information and analyses, operating policies
or manuals or other data. Executive agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, use any such information for the benefit of others than the Company or disclose or communicate any of such information in any manner whatsoever other than to the
directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Company who need to know such information, who shall be informed by Executive of the confidential nature of such information and directed by Executive to treat such information
confidentially. Upon the Company’s request, Executive shall return all information furnished to him related to the business of the Company without retaining any copies in electronic or other form. The above limitations on use and disclosure
shall not apply to information which Executive can demonstrate: (a) was known to Executive before receipt thereof from the Company; (b) is learned by Executive from a third party entitled to disclose it; or (c) becomes known publicly other than
through Executive; (c) is disclosed by Executive upon authority of the Board or any committee of the Board; (d) is disclosed pursuant to any legal requirement or (e) is disclosed pursuant to any agreement to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates is a party. The parties hereto stipulate that all such information is material and confidential and gravely affects the effective and successful conduct of the business of the Company and the Company’s goodwill, and
that any breach of the terms of this Section 7 shall be a material breach of this Agreement. The terms of this Section 7 shall survive and remain in effect following any termination of this Agreement. 
  
 8. Use of Proprietary Information. Executive recognizes
that the Company possesses a proprietary interest in all of the information described in Section 7 and has the exclusive right and privilege to use, protect by copyright, patent or trademark, manufacture or otherwise exploit the processes, ideas and
concepts described therein to the exclusion of Executive, except as otherwise agreed between the Company and Executive in writing. Executive expressly agrees that any products, inventions, discoveries or improvements made by Executive, his agents or
affiliates, during the term of this Agreement, based on or arising out of the information described in Section 7 shall be the property of and inure to the exclusive benefit of the Company. Executive further agrees that any and all products,
inventions, discoveries or improvements developed by Executive (whether or not able to be protected by copyright, patent or trademark) in the scope of his employment, or involving the use of the Company’s time, materials or other resources,
shall be promptly disclosed to the Company and shall become the exclusive property of the Company. 
  
 9. Non-Competition Agreement. 
  
 9.1 Non-Competition. Executive agrees that, during the Employment Term and for a period of one year following any
termination of such employment, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be connected with as an officer, employee, partner, consultant or otherwise, or otherwise
engage or participate in (except as an employee of the Company, or Affiliate of it) any corporation or other business entity engaged in the operation, ownership or management of a bank, trust company or financial services business within the
Metropolitan Statistical Areas of St. Louis, Kansas City or any other city in which the Company or any of its Affiliates has an office at the time of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ownership by Executive of less than 1% of any
class of the outstanding capital stock of any corporation conducting such a competitive business which is regularly traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall not be a violation of the foregoing covenant.

  

 8 

 9.2 Non-Solicitation. During the Employment Term and for a period of one
year following any termination of such employment, Executive shall not, except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, entice or induce, or attempt to entice or induce, any employee of the Company to
leave such employ, or employ any such person in any business similar to or in competition with that of the Company. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions set forth in this subsection 9.2 constitute a reasonable restriction on
his ability to compete with the Company. 
  
 9.3 Saving Provision. The parties hereto agree that, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the geographical or durational elements of this covenant are unenforceable, such determination shall not
render the entire covenant unenforceable. Rather, the excessive aspects of the covenant shall be reduced to the threshold which is enforceable, and the remaining aspects shall not be affected thereby. 
  
 9.4 Equitable Relief. Executive acknowledges
that the extent of damages to the Company from a breach of Sections 7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement would not be readily quantifiable or ascertainable, that monetary damages would be inadequate to make the Company whole in case of such a breach, and
that there is not and would not be an adequate remedy at law for such a breach. Therefore, Executive specifically agrees that the Company is entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without any requirement to post any bond or other
security) from a breach of Sections 7, 8 and 9 of this Agreement, and hereby waives and covenants not to assert against a prayer for such relief that there exists an adequate remedy at law, in monetary damages or otherwise. 
  
 9.5 Change of Control. If after any Change of
Control Executive’s employment is terminated under circumstances such that Executive does not receive severance compensation pursuant to Section 6.1, Executive shall not be subject to the restrictions of this Section 9.1 unless the Company
continues to pay without interruption Executive’s Base Salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to such termination and then only so long as such payments are continued without interruption for a period of up to one year after
termination. 
  
 10. Assignment. This
Agreement shall not be assignable by Executive and shall not be assignable by the Company except by operation of law or to a successor entity acquiring all or substantially all the Company’s business or assets. No such assignment shall affect
any determination of whether such assignment involves a Change of Control for purposes of this Agreement. In the event of any assignment permitted hereby, the duties and responsibilities of Executive performed for the assignee shall not, without the
written consent of Executive, be materially increased, altered or diminished in a manner inconsistent with Executive’s duties and responsibilities hereunder for the Company. 
  
 11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any agreements entered into after the date hereof under any of
the Company’s benefit plans or compensation programs as described in Section 4 contain the complete agreement concerning the employment arrangement between the parties, including without limitation severance or termination pay, and shall, as of
the Effective Date, supersede all other agreements or arrangements between the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof. 
  

 9 

 12. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall not be terminated by reason of any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, cessation of business
or similar event relating to the Company. This Agreement shall not be terminated by reason of any merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company, but shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the surviving or resulting entity.

  
 13. Modification. No waiver or
modification of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition, or limitation herein contained shall be valid unless authorized by the Board and reduced to in writing and duly executed by the party to be charged therewith and no evidence of any waiver
or modification shall be offered or received in evidence of any proceeding, arbitration, or litigation between the parties hereto arising out of or affecting this Agreement, or the rights or obligations of the parties thereunder, unless such waiver
or modification is in writing, duly executed as aforesaid. 
  
 14. Severability. All agreements and covenants contained herein are severable, and in the event any of them shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall be
interpreted as if such invalid agreements or covenants were not contained herein. 
  
 15. Manner of Giving Notice. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be sent by hand, certified mail, overnight air courier service, in each case with all
applicable charges paid or otherwise provided for, addressed as follows, or to such other address as may hereafter be designated in writing by the respective parties hereto:

pursuant to Executive’s employment will not violate any order or decree of any governmental or judicial body or contract by which Executive is bound. The Company will not request or require, and Executive agrees not to use, in the course of

 WHEREAS, Article X of the Plan provides that each Participant shall direct the investment of the assets held in his Savings Contribution Account, Matching Contribution Account, Automatic Contribution Account,
Discretionary Contribution Account, Rollover Contributions Account and 401(k) Employer Contribution Account (collectively, the “Accounts”), and describes the available funds into which the investment of such Accounts may be made; and

  
 WHEREAS, one of the investment options
provided under Article X of the Plan is “Fund A,” an employer stock fund that is primarily invested in Company common stock; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Plan previously provided for contributions to be made to an ESOP portion of the Plan; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the ESOP portion of the Plan was previously
frozen, but the ESOP Matching Contribution Accounts and the ESOP Automatic Contribution Accounts continue to be maintained pursuant to the terms of the Plan; and 
  
 WHEREAS, pursuant to paragraph (e) of Article X of the Plan, the ESOP portion of the Plan is
primarily invested in Company common stock; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company has previously amended the Plan to provide that the ESOP portion of the Plan shall cease to be operated as an ESOP upon a date as soon as practicable after the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service approving the amendment (the “ESOP Cessation Date”), but such favorable determination letter has not yet been received; and 
  

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 15, 2004, with MGM Mirage and MGM Mirage
Acquisition Co. #61 (the “Merger Agreement”) subject to the approval of the Merger Agreement by the requisite vote of the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and to the satisfaction of customary
closing conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, including the receipt of all necessary regulatory and governmental approvals; and 
  
 WHEREAS, if the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, the Plan, at the “Effective Time” (as
that term is defined in the Merger Agreement), will be entitled to receive cash in exchange for each share of the Company common stock in which Plan assets are invested, including those held by both Fund A and the ESOP portion of the Plan; and

  
 WHEREAS, the Company deems it
advisable and in the best interests of the Participants that the Plan be amended to provide for the investment of the cash proceeds received by the Plan in exchange for Company common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement and to provide that the
ESOP portion of the Plan shall cease to be operated as an ESOP upon the receipt of cash by the Trustee in exchange for Company common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement if such receipt occurs prior to the ESOP Cessation Date described above.

  
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby
amended as follows: 
  
 I. 
  
 Paragraph (ee) of Article I of the Plan hereby is amended to read as follows:

  
 (ee) “ESOP Cessation Date” shall mean
the date that the ESOP portion of the Plan ceases to be operated as an ESOP, which shall be a date as soon as practicable after the issuance of a favorable determination letter by the Internal Revenue Service approving the Eighteenth Amendment and
Restatement of the Plan, as selected and communicated in writing to the Participants by the Plan Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee shall receive cash in exchange for the Company common stock by virtue of the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of June 15, 2004, between the Company, MGM Mirage and MGM Mirage Acquisition Co. #61 (the “Merger Agreement”) prior to the ESOP Cessation Date as defined in the preceding sentence, the date of the receipt of such
cash shall be deemed the ESOP Cessation Date for all purposes of the Plan. 

 II. 
  
 Paragraph (a)(1)(A) of Article X of the Plan hereby is amended to read as follows: 
  
 (A) Fund A - an employer stock fund, which shall invest primarily in Employer Securities; provided,
however, that the Agreement of Trust that provides for custody of such Fund shall permit the Trustee thereof to invest such Fund or any part thereof in other investments; and provided, further, that no amount shall be invested in Employer Securities
until all securities registration requirements applicable to either the Employer Securities or the Plan have been complied with. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the conversion of the shares of the Company common stock into the right to receive
cash by virtue of the Merger Agreement, and upon receipt of the cash proceeds from the exercise of such right: 
  
 (i) such proceeds shall be immediately invested in the default fund provided under paragraph (c)(1), until such time as the Participant
(or an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, or a beneficiary of a deceased Participant (or the legal guardian thereof)) shall direct the investment of all or part of such proceeds allocated to his Accounts in any of the other
investment funds available under the Plan; and 
  
 (ii) Fund A shall cease to be available for directed investments by Participants. 
  
 III. 
  
 Upon the
conversion of the shares of the Company common stock into the right to receive cash by virtue of the Merger Agreement, and upon receipt of the cash proceeds from the exercise of such right, paragraph (a)(4) of Article X of the Plan hereby shall be
deleted in its entirety. 
  
 IV. 
  
 Paragraph (e) of Article X of the Plan is hereby amended to read as follows:

  
 (e) Investment of ESOP Fund. Until the ESOP
Cessation Date, the portion of a Participant’s ESOP Matching Contribution Account and ESOP Automatic Contribution Account that is not invested pursuant to a Diversification Election shall be separately invested, pursuant to an Agreement of
Trust, in the ESOP Fund, which shall invest primarily in Employer Securities; provided, however, that the Agreement of Trust that provides for custody of such Fund shall permit the Trustee thereof, at the direction of the Investment Fiduciary, to
invest such Fund or any part thereof in other investments when the Investment Fiduciary deems investment in Employer Securities to be imprudent or otherwise inappropriate; and provided, further, that no amount shall be invested in Employer
Securities unless and until all securities registration requirements applicable to either the Employer Securities or the Plan have been complied with. As soon as practicable after the ESOP Cessation Date, the amounts in each Participant’s ESOP
Matching Contribution Account shall be transferred to such Participant’s Matching Contribution Account, and the amounts in each Participant’s ESOP Automatic Contribution Account shall be transferred to such Participant’s Automatic
Contribution Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing at the time of the conversion of the shares of the Company common stock into the right to receive cash by virtue of the Merger Agreement, upon such conversion, and upon receipt of the cash proceeds
from the exercise of such right, such proceeds shall be immediately invested in the default fund provided under paragraph (c)(1), until such time as the Participant (or an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, or a beneficiary
of a deceased Participant (or the legal guardian thereof)) shall direct the investment of all or part of such proceeds allocated to his Accounts in any of the other investment funds available under the Plan. 
  
 V. 
  
 A new subparagraph (4) is hereby added to paragraph (c) of Article XI, to read as follows: 
  
 (4) The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall cease to be
effective immediately upon the ESOP Cessation Date. 
  
 IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, this Twentieth Amendment has been executed as of the date first written above.
