(a) Term. This Lease shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect for the Term, as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 5(b) below, unless sooner terminated as provided in this Lease.

(b) Extensions of Term. After expiration of the Term, this Lease shall automatically renew itself on a month-to-month basis under the terms and conditions of this Lease which will continue in full force and effect, and the term as so extended shall thereafter be deemed to be the “Term” as used herein.

On the First Adjustment Date, Landlord shall calculate the percentage increase or decrease (if any) in the Comparison Index over the Base Index, and on each subsequent Adjustment Date, Landlord shall calculate the percentage increase (if any) in the applicable Comparison Index over the Comparison Index in effect on the immediately preceding Adjustment Date. After making each such calculation, Landlord shall determine the Monthly Rent to be applicable during the ensuing two (2)-year period as follows: depending upon the actual increase or decrease in the Index during the preceding two (2)-year period, the Monthly Rent payable by Tenant in the ensuing two (2)-year period shall be adjusted upward or downward by a percentage equal to the amount of the percentage increase or decrease in the Index during the preceding two (2)-year period, as calculated by Landlord in the above-described manner. When the Monthly Rent payable as of each Adjustment Date is determined, Landlord shall promptly give Tenant written notice of such adjusted Monthly Rent and the manner in which the same was computed. In the event Tenant believes, in good faith, a discrepancy exists in the calculation of the adjustment to Monthly Rent, Landlord and Tenant agree to work in good faith to resolve such discrepancy.

(ii) If at any Adjustment Date the Index no longer exists in the form described in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant will agree to substitute the Index with a substantially equivalent official index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or its successor.

(c) Parking Fees. Tenant agrees that it shall be solely liable for all Parking Fees, and Tenant agrees to make all Parking Fee payments promptly and in no event before the same shall become a lien against the fee interest of the Leased Premises.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be solely responsible for the amount of any tax levied against Landlord on the rents received by Landlord from this Lease by any federal, state or local governmental agency. The parties acknowledge that the Leased Premises is not currently assessed as a separate tax parcel and agree that until such time as the Leased Premises is separately assessed, the Real Property Taxes attributable to the Leased Premises shall be apportioned by Landlord on a pro rata basis based upon the ratio of the land area of the Leased Premises to the land area of the entire tax assessor’s parcel of which the Leased Premises is a part (“Tenant’s Proportionate Share”). Without limiting the foregoing, until such time as the Leased Premises is separately assessed, Landlord shall promptly pay all Real Property Taxes assessed against the entire tax parcel of which the Leased Premises is a part, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Real Property Taxes, as calculated by Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Section 12(b), within thirty (30) days after Landlord presents Tenant with an invoice and backup documentation as to the calculation of Tenant’s Proportionate Share.

(c) Contest. Subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Tenant reserves the right to contest any Real Property Taxes assessed against the Leased Premises and Personal Property Taxes assessed against Tenant; provided, however, that if Tenant shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such Real Property Taxes and/or Personal Property Taxes, then Tenant shall, at its sole expense, defend itself and Landlord against the same and shall pay and satisfy any adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon. In connection with any such contest under the provisions of this subparagraph, Tenant agrees to use its best efforts to prevent the filing of any lien or claim against Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Premises and to promptly release or bond around any such lien or claim caused or permitted by Tenant’s contest that may be filed against Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord for, from and against any such liens and encumbrances and for any actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith or arising as a result thereof. Tenant acknowledges that there is an appeal of the Real Property Taxes applicable to the Leased Premises and other adjoining properties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord’s sole discretion and at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, to monitor the status of or participate in any such litigation, which monitoring or participation may include, but not be limited to, Landlord’s retention of separate defense counsel. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, any settlement hereunder to the extent that such settlement, after accounting for the effect of each party’s indemnification obligations, would result in the imposition of a direct and significant financial impact upon Landlord.

(e) Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other, or against the officers, employees, agents and representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to such waiving party or its property or the property of others under its control to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any insurance policy in force at the time of such loss or damage, but only to the extent of insurance proceeds actually received. Each party hereto shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required hereunder, give notice to its insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease.

(f) OCIP. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant, in connection with Tenant’s construction of the Resort, has established an Owner Controlled Insurance Program (“OCIP”). Landlord agrees that Tenant may satisfy all or any portion of Tenant’s insurance obligations by virtue of Tenant’s utilization of the OCIP while the same shall be in force and effect; provided that the OCIP shall, at a minimum, satisfy the required coverages.

At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant will peaceably yield to Landlord the Leased Premises and any and all alterations, renovations, improvements and additions made thereon, including without limitation, the Surface Parking Lot, if it is still existing. Tenant shall at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove all personal property, equipment and trade fixtures, and Tenant shall perform all restoration made necessary by the removal of any such items (reasonable wear and tear excepted). In the event Landlord so elects, Tenant shall be obligated, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to remove the Surface Parking Lot (if it still exists) and/or any other improvements constructed upon the Leased Premises and to restore the Leased Premises to substantially similar condition as it existed prior to construction of the Surface Parking Lot, at the expiration of the term of this Lease or the earlier termination thereof.

18. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that, so long as there shall not be any material default by Tenant which shall remain uncured beyond any applicable cure period hereunder, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the Leased Premises during the Term.

19. Utilities. Tenant shall bear sole responsibility for all utility charges, deposits and other costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with the maintenance of any and all utility services utilized by Tenant upon the Leased Premises.

20. Condemnation. If the whole or any part of the Leased Premises shall be taken by any public authority under the power of eminent domain or deeded to such public authority in lieu of condemnation, then the Term shall cease as to the part so taken from the day the possession of that part shall be taken or deeded for any public purpose, and from that day Tenant shall have the right either to cancel this Lease, in the event the taking adversely impacts upon Tenant’s use or enjoyment of the Leased Premises, or to continue in the possession of the remainder of the Leased Premises under the terms hereof, provided that all damages awarded for Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Premises as a result of such taking shall belong to and be the sole property of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to pursue its own award for any value attributable to the taking of all or any portion of any improvements constructed upon the Leased Premises, including the Surface Parking Lot, as well as the value of Tenant’s leasehold estate,

 

14


moving expenses and goodwill, and any damages awarded for such interests of Tenant so taken shall belong to and be the sole property of Tenant. In the event a portion of the Leased Premises becomes the subject of a taking and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, then in such event the Monthly Rent shall be proportionately reduced by the percentage of the land area of the Leased Premises so taken.

21. Events of Default. The following events shall be deemed to be events of default under this Lease:

(a) Landlord shall not have received a full installment of Monthly Rent on or before the date that is ten (10) days after Tenant receives written notice of such failure.

(b) Tenant shall fail or neglect to perform any other covenants herein contained to be performed by Tenant for thirty (30) days after Tenant has received written notice of such failure, unless Tenant has commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.

(c) Tenant shall file, or have filed against it and not vacated within ninety (90) days thereafter, a petition under any section or chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent under any bankruptcy law, shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or shall admit in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due.

(d) Landlord shall fail or neglect to perform any covenants herein contained to be performed by Landlord for thirty (30) days after Landlord has received written notice from Tenant of such failure, unless Landlord has commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion.

22. Remedies. Upon an event of default described in Section 21 hereof, the non-defaulting party shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity including, without limitation, the right to declare this Lease terminated. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a default by Tenant, Landlord may elect to re-enter the Leased Premises and take possession thereof and to terminate all of the rights of Tenant in and to the Leased Premises without relieving Tenant of any liability hereunder which accrued prior to such termination. The non-defaulting party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any default on the part of a defaulting party which is not timely cured as provided herein, and the defaulting party shall promptly reimburse the non-defaulting party for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the non-defaulting party in connection therewith, including without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.

23. Subordination. Landlord shall be entitled to mortgage its fee interest in the Leased Premises upon the condition that any such fee mortgage lienholder agrees to execute such non-disturbance and/or attornment agreements in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and Tenant’s lender (if any).

Within ten (10) business days after notice from Tenant, Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant an estoppel certificate confirming essential factual matters pertaining to this Lease, which estoppel certificate shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.

25. No Waiver. Any waiver of any breach of any one or more of the covenants, conditions, terms or agreements of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent or other breach of the same or of any other covenant, condition, term or agreement of this Lease, nor shall failure on the part of either party to require full and complete compliance by the other party with any of the covenants, conditions, terms or agreements of this Lease be construed as in any manner changing the terms hereof or estopping such party from enforcing the full provisions hereof.

26. Damages. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall either party ever be liable hereunder to the other party for anticipated profits, indirect damages, punitive damages, consequential or other damages or liability of any nature whatsoever whether based on contract, tort, or any other theories of liability other than actual damages. It is further agreed by the parties that the shareholders, officers, employees, agents, representatives and directors of both parties, as such, shall never be personally liable for any judgment against a party.

27. Notices; Rental Payment Address. Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices or other communications required or permitted by this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given on the date of delivery if delivered personally to the party to whom notice is given or if sent by confirmed facsimile transmission, or on the date of actual delivery if sent by overnight commercial courier or by first class mail, registered or certified, with postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party at its address set forth below, or at any other address that any party may from time to time designate by written notice to the other:

This Lease may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by Landlord and Tenant. It is mutually understood and agreed that the covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon the parties hereto, and upon their respective successors and assigns.

29. Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed and construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

30. Authority. Tenant and Landlord represent and warrant to each other that each is fully authorized to enter into this Lease without the joining of any other person or entity, and the person executing this Lease on behalf of such party has full authority to do so and any and all corporate, partnership, or limited liability company action required has been taken.

17


33. No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, to create a relationship of principal and agent, or a partnership or joint venture between Landlord and Tenant, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent, nor any other provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of Landlord and Tenant with respect to this Lease. Whenever herein the singular is used, the same shall include the plural. Captions used in this Lease are for convenience only and do not in any way limit or amplify the terms and provisions hereof.

34. Interpretation. The enforceability, invalidity, or illegality of any provision shall not render the other provisions of this Lease unenforceable, invalid, or illegal. All provisions, whether conditions or covenants on the part of either party, shall be deemed to be both conditions and covenants. This Lease is the product of joint negotiation of the parties and their counsel and is not to be construed for or against either party by virtue of the fact that such party or its counsel prepared this Lease.

35. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence for each and every obligation contained in this Lease.

36. Leasehold Mortgage; Lender’s Right to Cure. Landlord hereby consents to an encumbrance by Tenant of its leasehold interest and estate in the Leased Premises and Tenant’s interest in the improvements to be constructed upon the Leased Premises. If Tenant shall elect to encumber its leasehold interest and estate in the Leased Premises, and if Tenant or the holder of the indebtedness secured by a leasehold mortgage shall give written notice to Landlord of the existence of such leasehold mortgage and the address of the holder, then Landlord will mail or deliver to the holder, at such address, a duplicate copy of all notices in writing which Landlord may, from time to time, give to or serve on Tenant under and pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Lease. The copies shall be mailed or delivered to the holder at, or as near as possible to, the same time the notices are given to or served on Tenant. The holder may, at its option, at any time before the rights of Tenant shall be terminated as provided in this Lease, pay any of the Monthly Rent or other sums due under this Lease, or pay any taxes and assessments, or do any other act or thing required of Tenant by the terms of this Lease, or do any act or thing that may be necessary and proper to be done in the observance of the covenants and conditions of this Lease or to prevent the termination of this Lease. All payments so made and all things so done and performed by the holder shall be as effective to prevent a foreclosure of the rights of Tenant thereunder as the same would have been if done and performed by Tenant, and in such event, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect for Tenant. Additionally, Landlord agrees that it will promptly execute and deliver customary and commercially reasonable documents required by Tenant’s lender, in such form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, Tenant and Tenant’s lender, which documents may evidence, amongst other things, the consent of Landlord to the leasehold mortgage.

 

18


37. Covenant Against Liens Against Landlord’s Fee Interest. Tenant agrees to use its best efforts to prevent the filing of any lien or claim caused or permitted solely by Tenant against Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Premises and to promptly release or bond around any such lien or claim caused or permitted solely by Tenant that may be filed against Landlord’s fee interest in the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord for, from and against any such liens and encumbrances and for any actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith or arising as a result thereof. If Tenant shall, in good faith, contest the validity of any such claim or demand, then Tenant shall, at its sole expense, defend itself and Landlord against the same and shall pay and satisfy any adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the Landlord or the Leased Premises. The obligations contained in this paragraph shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

38. No Landlord Security Measures. Landlord shall have no duty, obligation or responsibility whatsoever to provide guard service or other security measures for the benefit of Tenant in connection with Tenant’s use and possession of the Leased Premises, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all responsibility for the security of Tenant and its agents, contractors, employees, and invitees on the Leased Premises from acts of third parties.

39. Access Easements. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant and its successors and assigns non-exclusive Access Easements encumbering the Access Easement Areas to allow pedestrian ingress to and egress from the Leased Premises and to allow vehicular ingress to and egress from the Ring Road, which Access Easements shall expire upon the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant shall be responsible to repair any damage to the Access Easement Area and any improvements located thereon, or any improvement located on Landlord’s property which may be adjacent to the Access Easement Area caused by the exercise of Tenant’s rights hereunder. At all times during the term of the Easements, Tenant shall maintain liability insurance naming Landlord as an additional insured in the minimum amount of $25,000,000.00. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord, and its affiliates, and the officers, employees and agents of any of them, from and against any and all loss, costs, damage, claim or expense (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and court costs) incurred or sustained by Landlord, or its affiliates, or the officers, employees and agents of any of them, arising out of, as a result of or in connection with Tenant’s use of the Access Easement Area as contemplated herein, provided, however, that Tenant shall not be responsible to defend or indemnify Landlord against any liability to third parties or government authorities arising out of any condition existing on the Access Easement Area prior to the date hereof.

40. Holding Over. In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Leased Premises as a tenant from month to month at a rental equal to the then current rental being paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease and otherwise subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant shall remain in possession of the Leased Premises for a period of sixty (60) days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant’s month to month tenancy shall continue at a rental equal to the

 

19


then current Monthly Rent plus an amount equal to an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the Monthly Rent and otherwise subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease.

41. Non-Involvement of Certain Parties. Tenant agrees that in the event there is any default or alleged default by Landlord under this Lease, or Tenant has or may have any claim arising from this Lease, Tenant shall not commence any lawsuit or otherwise seek to impose any liability whatsoever against Kirk Kerkorian or Tracinda Corporation. Tenant hereby further agrees that neither Kirk Kerkorian nor Tracinda Corporation shall have any liability whatsoever with respect to this Lease. Tenant hereby further agrees that it shall not permit any party claiming through it, to assert a claim or impose any liability against either Kirk Kerkorian or Tracinda Corporation, either collectively or individually, as to any matter or thing arising out of or relating to this Lease or any alleged breach or default by Landlord. In addition, Tenant agrees that neither Kirk Kerkorian nor Tracinda Corporation, individually or collectively, is a party to this Lease or is liable for any alleged breach or default of this Lease by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 41 to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 41 shall not apply to the extent that Kirk Kerkorian or Tracinda Corporation shall become the Landlord under this Lease.

42. Force Majeure. If any acts of God, an act of the public enemy, war, blockade, acts of military or civil authority or government regulation, riots, disasters, strikes (excluding, specifically, however, any informational or recognitional picket line), or failure to timely receive any necessary governmental approvals renders a party’s performance objectively impossible or illegal, and if the foregoing is not caused by any act or omission of such party, then such party shall be excused for the period of delay, and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay; provided, however, that the excused party shall be obligated to promptly resume performance in accordance with the terms of this Lease after any such force majeure event ceases.

43. Cooperation. Landlord and Tenant shall at all times cooperate, in good faith, with each other and shall promptly furnish (and/or sign) all documents and other information reasonably necessary in order to (a) establish the Leased Premises as a separate tax parcel and as a parcel property subdivided and legally transferable under New Jersey statutes; and (b) obtain any such licenses, approvals, permits and entitlements as may be required to effect the purposes of and carry out the intent of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent any lender of Landlord or Tenant shall reasonably require any modifications or amendments to this Lease, then Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate, in good faith, to prepare and execute any such modifications or amendments to this Lease in form and substance acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.

44. Approval by Casino Control Commission.

(a) Landlord shall comply, and shall ensure that all of its employees, principals and agents comply, with any and all applicable requirements of the New Jersey Casino Control Act, N.J.S.A. 5:12-1 et seq., (the “Act”), as well as the regulations promulgated thereunder, including, but not limited to, any licensing, qualification, vendor registration, women’s business enterprise,

 

20


minority business enterprise or equal employment opportunity requirements imposed thereunder, all of which are included within the definition of “the Laws”. If the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (“Commission”) declines to approve this Lease, then Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease and thereafter the parties will have no further rights or obligations, except for those obligations which expressly survive termination of this Lease.

(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that this Lease and any transfers or assignments under this Lease are subject to the applicable provisions of N.J.S.A. 5:12-82 et. seq.
