(a) General. Each of MCE Group and SCIH Group (in each case, as applicable, the “Receiving Party”) will maintain all Confidential Information of the other (the “Disclosing Party”) in strict confidence, and the Receiving Party will disclose such Confidential Information only as authorized under this Agreement or a Work Agreement or as otherwise authorized in writing by the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party shall only use such Confidential Information for the purpose of providing and receiving the Services or exercising any rights or remedies hereunder or under any Work Agreement, including:

(i) with respect to Service Provider, performing the Services hereunder for Service Recipient in accordance with the terms hereof; and

(ii) with respect to Service Recipient, receiving and enjoying the benefits of the Services.

The Receiving Party further agrees to take the same care with the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

(b) Definition of Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means the following types of information and other information of a similar nature of the Disclosing Party, whether set forth in writing, disclosed or made available by the Disclosing Party’s representatives orally or in any other manner (or with respect to which the Receiving Party is provided access to the information by the Disclosing Party in connection with the Services or this Agreement), to the extent designated in writing by the Disclosing Party as “confidential” or would otherwise reasonably be expected to be treated as confidential due to the nature thereof:

(i) all non-public information and material of or relating to the Disclosing Party and its Affiliates (and of or relating to companies with which the Disclosing Party or its Affiliates has entered into confidentiality agreements or has other confidentiality obligations) which the Receiving Party obtains knowledge of or access to;

(ii) non-public Intellectual Property of the Disclosing Party which the Receiving Party or its agent, employee or representative, obtains knowledge of or access to;

(v) the terms and conditions of the Work Agreements.

(i) has been made generally available to the public (other than by acts of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates or their respective employees, attorneys, agents, consultants, advisors or representatives in violation of this Agreement or any other duty of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party by which they are bound);

(ii) becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party, provided that the source of such information was not known by the Receiving Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or other confidentiality obligations to the Disclosing Party in respect of such Confidential Information;

(iii) was within the possession of the Receiving Party prior to its being furnished to the Receiving Party by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party;

(iv) becomes available or known to the MCE Group as a service provider under the Services and Right to Use Agreement or a shareholder of SCIH (which such information shall be governed by the terms of the Services and Right to Use Agreement or the Shareholders Agreement, as applicable); or

(v) is independently developed by the Receiving Party or one of its employees, attorneys, agents, consultants, advisors or representatives without reference to or use of the Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Receiving Party nor any of its employees, attorneys, agents, consultants, advisors or representatives shall be precluded from disclosing Confidential Information:

(1) to its Affiliates, representatives and advisors on a need-to-know basis, in accordance with Section 4.3(d) hereof, or as permitted by the Shareholders Agreement,

(2) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency,

(3) as required by any applicable Law, including any regulation or requirement imposed by any applicable stock exchange or listing authority,

(4) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Person or any of its Affiliates; provided that, in the case of the foregoing (2), (3) and (4), to the extent legally permissible, such Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such request, demand or requirement in order to enable the Disclosing Party to

seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy (and if the Disclosing Party seeks such an order, the Receiving Party shall provide such cooperation as the Disclosing Party may reasonably request (at the sole cost and expense of the Disclosing Party), to consult with the Disclosing Party with respect to the Disclosing Party taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request, demand or legal process), or to waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Section 4.3; provided, further that, in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the Disclosing Party waives compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Section 4.3, the Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information which such Receiving Party is advised by counsel as legally required to be disclosed and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information so disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment,

(5) to any prospective purchaser of, or investor in, any or all of the assets, stock or the business of the Receiving Party or any of its subsidiaries, or to any current or prospective financier or any agent and/or trustee acting on their behalf (each a “Financier”) to the Receiving Party or any of its subsidiaries, provided that such Person executes and delivers a confidentiality agreement (or has previously executed and delivered a confidentiality agreement that remains in effect) containing obligations of confidentiality that are at least as protective, in all material respects, of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as those set forth in this Section 4.3,

(6) to any Financier of a Receiving Party or any of its subsidiaries under financing arrangements that are in place on the Effective Date to the extent that such Financier is subject to a customary duty of confidentiality to the Receiving Party and/or one of its subsidiaries in respect of such Confidential Information, or

(7) as otherwise set forth herein.

(d) Receiving Party Personnel. The Receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those Affiliates, employees and contractors having a need to know such information in order to exercise or perform the Receiving Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Work Agreements and subject to confidentiality obligations (or, with respect to third party contractors, written confidentiality agreements containing obligations of confidentiality) that are at least as protective, in all material respects, of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as those set forth in Section 4.3.

(e) No Implied License. Without limiting the provisions of Section 4.2, no license or conveyance of any rights to any Intellectual Property is granted to the Receiving Party by the disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement or the Work Agreements.

(f) Survival. The obligations contained in this Section 4.3 will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement in perpetuity; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, all Confidential Information also received or disclosed pursuant to any other agreement between any member of the MCE Group and any member of the SCIH Group will be governed by the confidentiality provision of any such agreement, to the extent applicable.

5.4 TRANSITION

In connection with (a) the termination of this Agreement and/or any Work Agreement (or portion thereof), for a period commencing on the date of the relevant termination notice and ending on the relevant date of termination of this Agreement or the relevant Work Agreement, or

(b) the expiration of this Agreement and/or any Work Agreement (or portion thereof), for the period commencing six months prior to the end of Term until the end of the Term, as the case may be, (the period specified in (a) and (b) above, the “Transition Period”), at the request of Service Recipient, Service Provider shall (and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its third-party vendors to) assist and cooperate and work together with Service Recipient to assist in the transition of the performance of such terminated Services or similar services by Service Recipient or by a third party engaged by Service Recipient to perform such Services or similar services; provided, however, that the Transition Period shall be extended, if additional time for transitioning of the performance of such terminated Services is reasonably required by the Service Recipient, by a number of days (in no circumstances to exceed 180 days) sufficient for such transitioning to be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Service Recipient (such extended period, the “Post-Termination Transition Period”), and only to the extent that (i) the Post Termination Transaction Period does not exceed 180 days nor extend beyond June 26, 2022; (ii) Service Recipient uses and continues to use all commercially reasonable endeavors to expedite the completion of such transitioning; and (iii) the transition services to be provided do not cause incremental interference to Service Provider’s business operations and are structured (as between the Service Provider and Service Recipient, each acting in good faith) in such a manner as to cause no incremental commercial risk or loss to the Service Provider, in each case as compared to such interference, risk or loss faced by Service Provider during the Term. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Transition Period, Service Provider shall:

(a) make available on a timely basis to Service Recipient all information and materials reasonably requested by Service Recipient about the Services and the information technology systems used in connection with the provision of such Services and deliver to Service Recipient such documents, records and information as are reasonably requested by Service Recipient, but excluding any such items that constitute Melco Crown’s Intellectual Property (if the Service Provider is one or more of the Melco Crown Parties) or Studio City’s Intellectual Property (if the Service Provider is one or more of the Studio City Parties);

(b) make reasonably available to Service Recipient (x) any Personnel of Service Provider (or any member of its Group) to answer questions that Service Recipient may have regarding the terminated Services or management and operation of its business and properties in relation to the terminated Services, and (y) any information technology systems of Service Provider (or any member of its Group) reasonably necessary to continue to manage and operate the Studio City Complex in relation to the terminated Services in substantially the same manner and functionality as prior to such termination;

(d) reasonably cooperate with Service Recipient, at Service Recipient’s request, to assist in the development and installation of hardware and software systems as are reasonably necessary to continue to manage and operate its business and properties in relation to the terminated Services in substantially the same manner and functionality as prior to such termination; provided, however, that this obligation shall not include cooperation or assistance in the development and installation of any gaming-related hardware or software systems.

Immediately upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement or any applicable Work Agreement, Service Provider shall promptly deliver to Service Recipient copies of any and all documents, records and information in Service Provider’s possession relating to the terminated or expired Service and owned by Service Recipient or to which Service Recipient is otherwise entitled pursuant to this Agreement or the applicable Work Agreement, other than any such items that constitute Melco Crown’s Intellectual Property (if the Service Provider is one or more of the Melco Crown Parties) or Studio City’s Intellectual Property (if the Service Provider is one or more of the Studio City Parties).

Service Recipient will reimburse Service Provider for any reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Service Provider, and with respect to Personnel of the Service Provider, any reasonable labor and employment costs, in providing the foregoing transition services within ten (10) days after being invoiced therefor.

INDEMNIFICATION; WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

6.1 INDEMNIFICATION

(a) Indemnity.

(i) Each Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and its Affiliates, and their respective employees, agents, officers and directors, from any and all liabilities, losses, damages, charges, deficiencies, fines, penalties, and costs and expenses (including, to the extent payable to a third party, special, exemplary, punitive and consequential damages, and reasonable legal fees, advisory and consulting fees and expenses and reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs of investigation and litigation of claims) (collectively, “Damages”) arising from any third-party claims, demands or complaints against the other Party as a result of or relating to such indemnifying Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) (1) breach of this Agreement (including any representations herein) or any Work Agreement, or (2) violation of applicable Law.

(ii) Service Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Service Recipient and its Affiliates, and their respective employees, agents, officers and directors, from any and all Damages arising from (1) any claim, demand or complaint by or on behalf of a subcontractor of

Service Provider, Third Party Service Provider or Service Provider Personnel, or (2) any third- party claim, demand or complaint that the Services or deliverables provided by Service Provider or any Third Party Service Provider, or Service Recipient’s use thereof infringes or constitutes a misappropriation or other violation of the Intellectual Property rights of any Person (including pursuant to Section 4.2).

(b) Indemnity Procedures. If any claim or action is asserted against a party entitled to an indemnity hereunder (as applicable, the “Indemnified Party”) that would entitle such Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.1 (a “Proceeding”), the Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice thereof to the other Party (“Indemnifying Party”); provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder will not affect its rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against such Proceeding. The Indemnifying Party may elect to direct the defense or settlement of any such Proceeding by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, which election will be effective immediately upon receipt by the Indemnified Party of such written notice of election. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to employ counsel to defend any such Proceeding, or to compromise, settle or otherwise dispose of the same, if the Indemnifying Party deems it advisable to do so, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party will not settle, or consent to any entry of judgment in, any Proceeding without obtaining either: (i) an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to all claims underlying such Proceeding; or (ii) the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An Indemnified Party will not settle, or consent to any entry of judgment, in any Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Each Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will fully cooperate with each other in any such Proceeding and will make available to each other any books or records useful for the defense of any such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to (x) participate in the defense and/or settlement of any Proceeding with its own counsel at its own expense, or (y) control, pay or settle any Proceeding which the Indemnifying Party shall have undertaken to defend so long as the Indemnified Party shall also waive any right to indemnification therefor by the Indemnifying Party.

6.2 WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMER

Except as expressly set forth herein or in any Work Agreement, no Party makes any warranty in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement or any Work Agreement and each Party hereby disclaims any and all implied or statutory warranties, including all implied warranties of title, merchantability, non-infringement and fitness for a particular purpose regarding such subject matter. To the extent the relevant Service Provider or Service Recipient may not as a matter of applicable Law disclaim any implied warranty, the scope and duration of such warranty will be the minimum permitted under such law.

6.3 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

(a) Consequential and Other Damages. No Party shall be liable, whether contractually or extra-contractually or otherwise, for any special, indirect or consequential damages whatsoever which in any way arise out of, are related to, or are a consequence of, its

performance or nonperformance hereunder, or the provision of or failure to provide any service hereunder, including indirect loss of profits. The foregoing limitations do not apply to third- party claims that are subject to indemnification under Section 6.1 or any damages resulting from a breach by such Party of Section 4.3.

(b) Liability Cap. The aggregate liability of the relevant Party with respect to this Agreement or Work Agreement (other than with respect to the Service Recipient’s obligation to pay fees) or in connection with the performance, delivery or provision of any Service under the Work Agreement shall be limited to the fees paid or charged under the relevant Work Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation of liability under this Section 6.3(b) shall not apply to (i) a breach by such Party of Section 4.3, or (ii) such Party’s bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful infringement of any rights in respect of Intellectual Property in connection with the performance, delivery or provision of the relevant Service by such Party (including Section 4.2).

6.4 INSURANCE

Each Party, at its sole cost, will maintain insurance coverage as described in Schedule C with insurance companies having a minimum current A.M. Best rating of A, S&P rating of A- or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the other Party, with coverage in amounts customary for the size and nature of the Parties’ businesses. Except as otherwise provided in the relevant Work Agreements, all costs and deductible amounts will be for the sole account of the insuring Party and its subcontractors and agents.

6.5 LICENSES AND PERMITS

Each Party represents that it has obtained or, at its sole cost and expense, will obtain any authorization or permit required by applicable Law to conduct its business and to perform the Services it is performing. Each Party will cooperate with each other, at the expense of the Party who is required to obtain any authorization or permit, in obtaining such authorization or permit.

As of the Effective Date, Melco Crown Parties’ Project Managers shall be the individuals named in Part 1 of Schedule D; and Studio City Parties’ Project Managers shall be the individuals named in Part 2 of Schedule D.

7.3 FORCE MAJEURE EVENT

Neither Party will be liable or deemed to be in breach of this Agreement or the Work Agreements for failure, hindrance, limitation or delay of performance caused wholly or partly by a Force Majeure Event as long as the Party whose performance is affected by the Force Majeure Event notifies the other Party as promptly as practicable thereof and takes commercially reasonable efforts to overcome it and resume performance hereunder as soon as possible. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not apply to any failure or delay of performance of any payment obligation. If a Party’s performance is affected by a Force Majeure Event, the time for that Party’s performance will be extended or, as appropriate, suspended for the duration of the Force Majeure Event without liability, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Each Service Provider shall treat the Service Recipient in the same manner as any other recipient for the affected Services (or similar services), if any, in connection with the resumption of performance. During the period of a Force Majeure Event affecting performance by a Service Provider of any Service(s), the Service Recipient (a) shall be relieved of the obligation to pay Fees for such Services(s) throughout the duration of such Force Majeure Event, (b) shall be entitled to seek an alternative service provider with respect to such Service(s), and (c) shall be entitled to permanently terminate the relevant Work Agreement (or, if less than an entire Work Agreement is affected, the affected portions thereof) if a Force Majeure Event shall continue to exist for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, provided that the Service Recipient shall provide written notice of such termination to the Service Provider. Except as specifically provided for in respect of a Force Majeure Event, the foregoing shall not affect any other rights of the Service Recipient to terminate this Agreement or all or any portion of any Work Agreement.

7.4 FURTHER ACTIONS

Upon the reasonable request of a Party, the other Party will (a) furnish to the requesting Party any additional information, (b) execute and deliver, at its own expense, any other documents and (c) take any other reasonable actions as the requesting Party may reasonably require, reasonably required to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the Work Agreements.

7.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND MODIFICATION

This Agreement and the Work Agreements supersede all prior agreements between the Parties with respect to their subject matter, and constitute a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties with respect to their subject matter. This Agreement and the Work Agreements may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in a written document executed by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither this Agreement nor any Work Agreement shall modify, amend, alter or supersede in any way the Services and Right to Use Agreement or the Shareholders Agreement.

7.6 SEVERABILITY

If a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitral tribunal holds any provision of this Agreement or any Work Agreement invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement and each Work Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement or any Work Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

7.7 ASSIGNMENT; SUCCESSORS; NO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS

Except as provided herein or in any relevant Work Agreement, no Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Work Agreements without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that, for the purposes of a Party securing financing, the proceeds of which will be used for such Party’s properties and businesses (a “Financing”), or complying with the terms of any Financing that exists as of the Effective Date, a Party may pledge or grant a security interest in this Agreement and the Work Agreements to a Financier which provides such Financing without the other Party’s consent; provided, further, however, that no Financier shall be required to assume the obligations of a Party under this Agreement or a Work Agreement (but may do so if it so elects), unless and until that Financier has exercised remedies under such security interest such that it becomes the counterparty to this Agreement or the relevant Work Agreement(s), in which event it shall be required to assume the obligations of such Party under this Agreement and the relevant Work Agreement(s) from and after the date thereof and the other provisions thereof.

7.8 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY

Each Melco Crown Party and each Studio City Party executing this Agreement agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all amounts payable by Melco Crown Parties and Studio City Parties (respectively) hereunder and under any Work Agreement.

7.9 WAIVER

The rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

7.10 RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

(a) The Parties will cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to amicably resolve any Disputes. All Disputes shall be governed by the process set forth below:

(i) after each Quarterly Review, the SCIH Project Manager shall prepare a report on all unresolved Disputes to the SCIH Board of Directors (the “SCIH Board”), for discussion in the relevant quarterly meeting of the SCIH Board;

(ii) if, during any calendar quarter, there is an unresolved Dispute, or group of related unresolved Disputes, that involves less than US$3 million, and will not, with the passage of time and continuation of Services in accordance with past practice, exceed US$3 million in any calendar year, the SCIH Board, by a simple majority, shall have the sole authority to decide on the appropriate resolution of the unresolved Dispute(s);

(iii) if, during any calendar quarter, there is an unresolved Dispute, or group of related unresolved Disputes, that involves US$3 million or more, but less than US$8 million, or that, with the passage of time and continuation of Services in accordance with past practice will amount to US$3 million or more, but less than US$8 million, in any calendar year, the matter shall be referred to the Conflict Committee of SCIH, which, by a simple majority, shall have the sole authority to decide on the appropriate resolution of the unresolved Dispute(s);

(iv) if, during any calendar quarter, there is an unresolved Dispute or group of related unresolved Disputes that involves US$8 million or more, or that with the passage of time and continuation of Services in accordance with past practice will amount to US$8 million or more in any calendar year, the SCIH Board meeting and decision process will be as follows:

(A) before the relevant quarterly meeting of the SCIH Board, each member of the SCIH Board shall raise and discuss the unresolved Disputes with the relevant shareholder of SCIH whom the member is representing; and

(B) during the relevant quarterly meeting of the SCIH Board, if the unresolved Disputes cannot be resolved unanimously by the SCIH Board, the SCIH Board shall refer the unresolved Dispute(s) to the shareholders of SCIH for resolution; and

(v) If the SCIH Shareholders fail to resolve the unresolved Dispute(s) within thirty Business Days after such Board meeting, SCIH, or the applicable Studio City Party, if so directed by the SCIH Board member representing the disinterested shareholder within 120 days after such Board meeting shall refer such unresolved Dispute(s) to arbitration, with one arbitrator for Dispute(s) of US$8 million and less than US$15 million and with three arbitrators for Dispute(s) of US$15 million or more, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.10(b).

(vi) If the SCIH Board members representing disinterested shareholders fail to refer an unresolved Dispute(s) to arbitration, within such 120 day period, then the issue(s) shall be resolved in favor of the applicable Melco Crown Party.

(vii) Upon referral of a Dispute to arbitration, any actions taken by SCIH in connection solely with respect to such arbitration shall be as determined by the SCIH Board members representing disinterested shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the provision in this Subsection 7.10(a)(vii) applies only to matters undertaken in connection with the arbitration proceedings and does not extend to other matters under this Agreement or any Work Agreement.

(b) In the event any Dispute(s) are to be arbitrated pursuant to Agreement, the Disputes shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force at the time the Notice of Arbitration is submitted. The law of this arbitration clause shall be Hong Kong law. The seat of the arbitration shall be in Hong Kong. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the appointment of such arbitrator or arbitrators shall be made by the HKIAC. The arbitrator or arbitrators shall be entitled to engage financial or other experts to the extent reasonably necessary to assist them in reaching their decision regarding the dispute. The

arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The arbitral tribunal and the Parties may by agreement hold hearings in any location convenient to the arbitral tribunal and the Parties, including by teleconference and videoconference; in the absence of such agreement, hearings will be held in Hong Kong. When any Dispute occurs and when any Dispute referred to arbitration, except for the matters in dispute, the Parties shall continue to fulfill their respective obligations, and shall be entitled to exercise their respective rights under this Agreement or the relevant Work Agreement.

(c) In the event of any such arbitration, members of the MCE Group, in addition to presenting arguments as a Service Provider or Service Recipient, may also present, and the arbitrator(s) shall take into consideration, arguments as an equity holder of SCIH, as to why the Melco Crown Party’s position is in the best interest of SCIH and the Studio City Parties.

(d) The cost of any arbitration shall be borne equally by the applicable Studio City Party and the applicable Melco Crown Party.

7.11 INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE

Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party may be damaged irreparably if certain terms of this Agreement (including the Work Agreements) are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of any of such Sections by the other Party may not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in addition to any other right or remedy to which the other Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, it will be entitled to seek, through arbitration or in a court of competent jurisdiction, specific performance, temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, and other interim measures or preliminary orders to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any such provisions.

7.12 GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of Hong Kong without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of any other law.

7.13 NON-EXCLUSIVITY

This Agreement is non-exclusive and either Party may contract with other parties for the procurement or sale of comparable services; provided, however, that any such arrangement shall not relieve such Party from paying Fees or from performing its obligations under the terms of any Work Agreement.

7.14 TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

The Parties agree time is of the essence and that the timing of performance of the Services set forth in the applicable Work Agreements are material terms of this Agreement.

7.15 COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement and the Work Agreements may be executed in two or more counterparts and by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

7.16 ACCESSION

Any subsidiary of any Party to this Agreement may accede to this Agreement after the date hereof by executing a supplemental agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, countersigned by MPEL Services Limited and Studio City Services Limited.
