ARTICLE 2
DESIGN OF MALL IMPROVEMENTS
2.1 INITIAL PLANS AND CREATION OF CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS.
(a) THE STANDARDS DOCUMENT. EXHIBIT "A" attached hereto and made
a part hereof is that certain Palazzo Casino Resort, Retail Standards Document
which contains a description of certain details of the development and
construction of the Mall Improvements (the "STANDARDS DOCUMENT"). The Character
Sketches attached to the Standards Document are intended to illustrate the look
and feel of the Xxxxxxx Hills/Rodeo Drive theme only and shall not be binding as
to the particulars of the design or layout shown. Developer shall have the right
to change the Xxxxxxx Hills/Rodeo Drive theme upon prior notice to and written
consent by Mall II Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
10
(b) COMMON AREA PLANS. Promptly upon execution of this
Agreement, Developer and Mall II Buyer shall negotiate expeditiously and in good
faith to develop a plan that is consistent with the Standards Document for the
location of the public common areas that will become part of the Common Elements
(the "COMMON AREA PLANS" and, together with the Standards Document, as the same
may be revised pursuant to this Agreement, the "INITIAL PLANS"). Developer and
Mall II Buyer shall agree upon a Common Area Plan no later than ninety (90) days
following the date of execution of this Agreement. In the event that Developer
and Mall II Buyer, despite good faith efforts, have not agreed upon a Common
Area Plan as of such date, then the same shall constitute a Construction Delay
(the duration of which shall be one (1) day for each day after said ninety (90)
day period that the parties shall have failed to agree on a Common Area Plan).
(c) CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS AND SPECS.
(i) DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS AND SPECS. Developer
will proceed, in consultation with Mall II Buyer, with the development of
construction drawings and specifications for the Mall Improvements. To this end,
Developer shall give to Mall II Buyer, for review, the construction drawings and
specifications at 50%, 75% and 100% of completion (each of the foregoing, the
"INITIAL CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS AND SPECS"). Within ten (10) Business Days after
the receipt by Mall II Buyer of each of the Initial Construction Drawings and
Specs, time being of the essence, Mall II Buyer will have the right to submit
comments to Developer and to object to any feature shown in the Initial
Construction Drawings and Specs that deviates from the Initial Plans. Developer
and Mall II Buyer will consult to resolve any issues, but Developer may proceed
with the development of the construction drawings and specifications
notwithstanding Mall II Buyer's objection, subject to Mall II Buyer's rights
under this Section 2.1(c) and Article 10. To the extent that any feature is not
in conformance with the Initial Plans, Developer shall correct such feature in
the Initial Construction Drawings and Specs at Developer's Expense. If any
feature shown in any Initial Construction Drawings and Specs is in accordance
with the Initial Plans and Mall II Buyer requests a change to such feature, such
request shall be considered a request for a change to the Initial Plans and
shall be subject to Developer's approval pursuant to Section 3.3(b) of this
Agreement. Developer will furnish interpretations, explanations and additional
information if and as requested by Mall II Buyer within the ten (10) Business
Day period provided for in this Section, but the same shall not have the effect
of extending said ten-Business Day period.
(ii) MALL II BUYER APPROVAL OF CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS AND SPECS.
Within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by Mall II Buyer of the final
version of the Initial Construction Drawings and Specs (i.e., at 100%
completion), time being of the essence, Mall II Buyer shall approve such Initial
Construction Drawings and Specs or submit specific objections to any feature
shown in such final Initial Construction Drawings and Specs that deviates from
the Initial Plans. Developer and Mall II Buyer will consult, in good faith, to
resolve such objections. In the event such Initial Construction Drawings and
Specs shall deviate from the Initial Plans, Developer shall revise such Initial
Construction Drawings and Specs one or more times and resubmit the
11
same to Mall II Buyer for approval, which shall be given or denied, in each
case, within ten (10) Business Days, time being of the essence. At such time as
Mall II Buyer approves such Initial Construction Drawings and Specs as in
accordance with the Initial Plans (or waives any deviation), Mall II Buyer shall
deliver a written notice to Developer approving such Initial Construction
Drawings and Specs (as so approved and as the same may be modified pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, the "FINAL CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS AND SPECS"). If
Mall II Buyer shall withhold or delay (beyond the then-applicable ten (10)
Business Day period) its approval of any Initial Construction Drawings and Specs
for any reason, unless the same shall deviate from the Initial Plans, then the
same shall constitute a Construction Delay (the duration of which shall be one
(1) day for each day after said ten (10) Business Day period that the Final
Construction Drawings and Specs are not approved) for the purposes of this
Agreement. If any feature shown in any Final Construction Drawings and Specs is
in accordance with the Initial Plans and Mall II Buyer requests a change to such
feature, such request shall be considered a request for a change to the Initial
Plans and shall be subject to Developer's approval pursuant to Section 3.3(b) of
this Agreement. In the event Developer desires to amend the Final Construction
Drawings and Specs in any material respect, such amendment shall be subject to
Mall II Buyer's review and approval in accordance with this subsection
2.1(c)(ii), except that Mall II Buyer shall have five (5) Business Days to
respond to any request for amendment.
2.2 ELEMENTS OF DESIGN OF THE MALL IMPROVEMENTS; DEMISING WALLS.
(a) ELEMENTS OF THE STANDARDS DOCUMENT. The Standards Document
identifies the components of the Mall Improvements and set forth certain
locational, dimensional and design requirements pertaining to the Phase II Mall.
In particular, the Standards Document contains descriptions of (i) the
back-of-house area (for circulation of mall tenants and employees), (ii) the
publicly accessible Common Elements that will serve as access to the retail
spaces and the Phase II Hotel/Casino and (iii) the standards for construction of
certain elements of retail and restaurant Tenant Spaces.
(b) REQUIRED ELEMENTS OF THE PHASE II HOTEL/CASINO. The drawings and
written specifications and requirements in the Initial Plans do not include
details for the Phase II Hotel/Casino or certain of the Common Elements located
outside the Phase II Mall. The Developer shall be obligated to design and
construct a First-Class hotel and casino with no less than 2,000 guest rooms on
the Phase II Land and in the Leasehold Airspace; provided, that the completion
of such hotel and casino shall not be a condition precedent to Closing, except
as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(c) DEMISING WALLS. The Initial Plans do not set forth the location of
demising walls between the Tenant Spaces or between the Tenant Spaces and the
Common Elements of the Phase II Mall (the "DEMISING WALLS"), which have not yet
been finally determined. The location of the Demising Walls shall be determined
jointly by Mall II Buyer and Developer as the parties identify Tenants for the
retail and restaurant Tenant Spaces in two stages, described as follows:
12
(i) Upon final determination of the Common Area Plans by the parties,
Mall II Buyer and Developer shall negotiate expeditiously and in good faith to
develop a plan for the location of the Demising Walls that is consistent with
the Initial Plans and/or the Final Construction Drawings and Specs, if the same
have been agreed upon, identifying whether each Tenant Space will be occupied by
a restaurant or retail tenant, showing the specifications and points of
connection with the Tenant Space of all utilities required for each such Tenant
Space and identifying the location of smoke walls (as the same may be modified
in accordance with this Agreement, the "INITIAL DEMISING WALL PLAN"). Mall II
Buyer and Developer shall agree upon an Initial Demising Wall Plan no later than
six (6) months after the date of execution of this Agreement. In the event that
Mall II Buyer and Developer, despite good faith efforts, have not agreed upon an
Initial Demising Wall Plan by such date, the same shall constitute a
Construction Delay (the duration of which shall be one (1) day for each day
after said six (6) month period that the parties shall have failed to agree on
an Initial Demising Wall Plan).
(ii) Upon the final determination of the Initial Demising Wall Plan,
Mall II Buyer and Developer shall negotiate expeditiously and in good faith to
supplement the same to show the location, consistent with the Initial Plans, of
all Demising Walls (as the same may be modified in accordance with this
Agreement, the "FINAL DEMISING WALL PLAN"). Mall II Buyer and Developer shall
agree upon a Final Demising Wall Plan no later than one (1) year after the date
of execution of this Agreement. In the event that Mall II Buyer and Developer,
despite good faith efforts, have not agreed upon a Final Demising Wall Plan by
such date, the same shall constitute a Construction Delay (the duration of which
shall be one (1) day for each day after said one (1) year period that the
parties have failed to agree on a Final Demising Wall Plan).
2.3 CALCULATION OF FLOOR AREA.
(a) The Phase II Mall is intended to consist of 118,000 square feet of
Floor Area of Leasehold Mall Space (the "PROJECTED LEASEHOLD FLOOR AREA") and
279,018 square feet of Floor Area of Fee Mall Space (the "PROJECTED FEE FLOOR
AREA"). Mall II Buyer and Developer acknowledge and agree that the actual
as-built Floor Area of the Leasehold Mall Space and the Fee Mall Space may be
greater or less than the Projected Leasehold Floor Area and the Projected Fee
Floor Area, respectively. Developer may, subject to the following provisions of
this Section 2.3, deliver to Mall II LLC an actual as-built Floor Area of the
Leasehold Mall Space and/or the Fee Mall Space that varies from the Projected
Leasehold Floor Area and the Projected Fee Floor Area, provided that (x) (unless
reductions in Floor Area are necessary in order to comply with Legal
Requirements, to obtain Required Mall Improvement Permits or to make design
changes that are reasonably necessary to insure the efficient operation of the
Building, in which event the Required Leasehold Floor Area and the Required Fee
Floor Area shall be further reduced as so required) (i) the Floor Area of the
Leasehold Mall Space shall not be less than 95% of the Projected Leasehold Floor
Area (the "REQUIRED LEASEHOLD FLOOR AREA") and (ii) the Floor Area of the Fee
Mall Space shall not be less 95% of the Projected Fee Floor Area (the "REQUIRED
FEE FLOOR AREA") and (y) in no event shall (i) the as-built Floor Area of the
Leasehold Mall Space be greater than 105% of the
13
Projected Leasehold Floor Area or (ii) the as-built Floor Area of the Fee Mall
Space be greater than 105% of the Projected Fee Floor Area, without the prior
consent of Mall II Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) As promptly as possible after Developer delivers to Mall II Buyer
the notice of the Anticipated Completion Date, Developer and Mall II Buyer shall
attempt to agree on the as-built square footage of the Floor Area included in
the Mall Improvements for each of the Leasehold Mall Space and the Fee Mall
Space (the "AS-BUILT FLOOR AREA"). If Developer and Mall II Buyer are unable to
agree on which portions of the Mall Improvements are As-Built Floor Area or any
calculation of As-Built Floor Area, Developer and Mall II Buyer shall engage an
Independent Expert to resolve such disputes pursuant to the provisions of
Article 9.
2.4 CONSULTANTS. Developer and Mall II Buyer each shall engage its own
Consultants with respect to the design and construction of the Development and
the Build-Out. Developer's and Mall II Buyer's Consultants shall consult with
each other for purposes of coordinating filings with the relevant Government
Authorities and related matters. Developer shall endeavor to deliver all
contracts with the general contractor, if other than Developer, and primary
subcontractors to Mall II Buyer no later than five (5) Business Days prior to
execution of such contracts. The delivery of such contracts to Mall II Buyer
shall be for informational purposes only and Mall II Buyer's consent shall not
be required to any contracts.
ARTICLE 3
CONSTRUCTION OF MALL IMPROVEMENTS
3.1 CONSTRUCTION BY DEVELOPER.
(a) At Developer's expense, Developer shall construct the Mall
Improvements substantially in accordance with the Final Construction Drawings
and Specs and this Agreement, subject to Section 3.3 of this Agreement.
Developer shall construct the improvements to the standard of a First-Class Mall
of a level of quality substantially similar to that of the "Grand Canal Shoppes
at the Venetian" as of the date hereof. Developer shall diligently pursue all
Required Mall Improvement Permits. Developer shall cause the Mall Improvements
to be constructed free from material fault or defect; of good quality; in a
xxxxxxx-like manner and incorporating only new materials and equipment; by means
and methods complying with applicable Legal Requirements and insurance
requirements; and so as to operate properly and otherwise in accordance with the
requirements of the Final Construction Drawings and Specs.
(b) At Developer's expense, Developer shall complete, repair, replace,
rebuild and/or correct promptly all Mall Improvement work which is incorrect,
defective, incomplete, omitted, or not otherwise in compliance with the Final
Construction Drawings and Specs, as the same may have been modified pursuant to
the provisions of Section 3.3 of this Agreement, which Developer discovers, or
of which
14
Mall II Buyer or Mall II LLC gives written notice to Developer, prior to
Substantial Completion.
3.2 INSPECTION BY MALL II BUYER. Mall II Buyer shall have the right
during usual business hours, at Mall II Buyer's expense and upon reasonable
notice to Developer, (a) to inspect the construction work of the Mall
Improvements to ascertain that the performance of such work adheres to the Final
Construction Drawings and Specs, and (b) without limiting the foregoing, to
review shop drawings for the Mall Improvement work. In any event, during the
last week of each month (or on such other regularly-established monthly date as
Developer shall designate as the regular inspection date), Mall II Buyer and/or
its Consultants shall inspect the Mall Improvements construction work performed
since the prior inspection. Based on such observation, Mall II Buyer shall
furnish to Developer a statement, in a form to be agreed by the parties,
relating to Mall II Buyer's objections with respect to the construction work
(the "MALL II BUYER MONTHLY STATEMENT"). However, issuance of the Mall II Buyer
Monthly Statement will not be construed as Mall II Buyer's acceptance of work
which is defective, incomplete, or otherwise not in compliance with the Final
Construction Drawings and Specs, or as Mall II Buyer's waiver of any rights
under this Agreement, or as Mall II Buyer's release of Developer or any of
Developer's contractors or any surety from any warranty, guarantee, or
obligation provided under this Agreement or the Final Construction Drawings and
Specs or the applicable construction contract(s).
3.3 CONSTRUCTION CHANGES.
(a) Changes to the Mall Improvements (whether before or after
commencement of construction) made by Developer that are consistent with the
Final Construction Drawings and Specs (or the Initial Plans, if the Final
Construction Drawings and Specs have not been agreed to pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement) and the Initial Demising Wall Plan or Final Demising Wall Plan,
after the same have been agreed to, may be made without Mall II Buyer's
approval, subject to Section 2.3. Changes to the Mall Improvements requested by
Developer that are not consistent with the Final Construction Drawings and Specs
(or the Initial Plans, if the Final Construction Drawings and Specs have not
been agreed to pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) and changes to the
Initial Demising Wall Plan, the Final Demising Wall Plan or the Common Area
Plan, after the same have been agreed to by Developer and Mall II Buyer, shall
be subject to Mall II Buyer's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed if such change will not result in a failure of Developer to deliver
the Required Leasehold Floor Area or the Required Fee Floor Area.
(b) Changes in the Final Construction Drawings and Specs (or the
Standards Document, if the Final Construction Drawings and Specs have not been
agreed to pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), the Mall Improvements, the
Initial Demising Wall Plan, the Final Demising Wall Plan and the Common Area
Plan, after the same have been agreed to by Developer and Mall II Buyer, that
are requested by Mall II Buyer shall be subject to Developer's approval, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such change (i) will not
require more than DE MINIMIS changes to the Building other than the Mall II
Unit, (ii) will not cause, in Developer's reasonable
15
judgment, a material delay in the completion of the Development, (iii) will not
adversely effect the Phase II Hotel/Casino and (iv) will not increase by more
than a DE MINIMIS amount the cost of constructing the Building and/or the Mall
II Unit unless Mall II Buyer agrees to pay such cost increase as and when
incurred.
(c) If a change in the Initial Plans, the Final Construction Drawings
and Specs, the Initial Demising Wall Plan, the Final Demising Wall Plan, after
the same have been agreed to, or the Mall Improvements is required by law or in
order to obtain any Required Mall Improvement Permits, Developer shall advise
and promptly consult with Mall II Buyer as to the particular requirements and
the solution or solutions it is considering. If such change is required by any
Governmental Authority in order to issue a Required Mall Improvement Permit, or
if such change is consistent with the Standards Document, Developer shall not be
required to obtain Mall II Buyer's prior written approval for the proposed
manner of compliance; provided that, to the extent economically feasible,
Developer will make such change in the way that has the least impact on the
Initial Plans, the Final Construction Drawings and Specs, the Initial Demising
Wall Plan, the Final Demising Wall Plan and the Mall Improvements and the Final
Construction Drawings and Specs shall be modified accordingly. With respect to
any other such change, Developer and Mall II Buyer shall reasonably agree on
necessary and appropriate changes to be made to the Initial Plans, the Final
Construction Drawings and Specs, the Initial Demising Wall Plan, the Final
Demising Wall Plan and/or the Mall Improvements in order to comply with the
Legal Requirements or obtain the necessary permits, as applicable. In the event
that Developer proposes a method of compliance and Mall II Buyer requests that
Developer choose another method of compliance, Mall II Buyer shall pay to
Developer or reimburse Developer at Closing for any incremental costs (over the
cost of the method chosen by Developer) to effect such other method of
compliance. Developer shall pay any change costs associated with changes in the
Mall Improvements due to requirements of laws or inability to obtain necessary
permits, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, but shall not
pay associated fees of Mall II Buyer's Consultants (unless the legal compliance
requirement was a result of negligent acts or omissions of Developer or its
Consultants, as reasonably determined by the Independent Expert).
(d) In this Agreement, "FIELD CHANGES" means minor and routine changes
necessitated by conditions in the field which are customarily resolved by
architects and construction managers and have no material cost or design
ramifications. Field Changes in the Mall Improvements and the Build-Out shall be
subject to approval by Developer's site representative (who shall act promptly)
in cooperation with Mall II Buyer's Site Representative (who shall act
promptly).
3.4 CONSTRUCTION WARRANTIES.
(a) This Section governs construction warranties or guaranties covering
or otherwise applicable to those portions of the Mall Improvements which will be
part of the Common Elements ("CE WARRANTY WORK") and those portions of the Mall
Improvements which will NOT be part of the Common Elements but will be the
16
responsibility of Mall II LLC and/or Mall II Buyer to maintain in accordance
with the Amended REA (collectively, "MALL II UNIT WARRANTY WORK").
(b) As to both CE Warranty Work and Mall II Unit Warranty Work,
Developer shall include in its contracts with construction contractors
warranty/guaranty provisions customary for the type or category of work involved
(any such provision, a "CONTRACTOR WARRANTY") under which the respective
contractor will be required, at its expense, to repair, replace, and/or correct
work which is incorrect, defective, incomplete, or not otherwise in compliance
with the Final Construction Drawings and Specs ("DEFECTIVE WORK"). Developer
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the
respective contractor (i) that Mall II LLC and Mall II Buyer shall be the
beneficiaries of, and may enforce directly, the contractor's Contractor Warranty
as to any Mall II Unit Warranty Work and/or CE Warranty Work located in the
Phase II Mall and (ii) that Mall II LLC and/or Mall II Buyer (and/or other Unit
Owners) may enforce their applicable warranties without set-off or defense by
reason of disputes between the Contractor and Developer (a "NO-OFFSET CLAUSE").
Any such Contractor Warranty for CE Warranty Work may also provide that other
Unit Owners are third party beneficiaries.
(c) As to both CE Warranty Work and Mall II Unit Warranty Work, until
Developer has closed out the applicable contract and made final payment
(including release of retainage) to a contractor ("Close-Out"), Developer shall
use best efforts, at Developer's expense, to enforce the applicable Contractor
Warranty in accordance with its terms and conditions so as to cause such
contractor, at such contractor's expense, to repair, replace, and/or correct
Defective Work of which Developer becomes aware or of which either Mall II LLC
and/or Mall II Buyer gives notice to Developer. If there is any dispute
regarding whether any work performed is Defective Work, Developer and Mall II
Buyer shall submit the dispute for resolution to the Independent Expert, and the
determination of the Independent Expert shall be binding.
(d) After Close-Out of a contract with a Contractor Warranty for CE
Warranty Work, Developer shall assign Developer's rights with respect to such
Contractor Warranty to the party responsible for maintaining such Common
Element, if not Developer.
(e) After Close-Out of a contract with a Contractor Warranty for Mall II
Unit Warranty Work, Developer shall assign (on a non-exclusive basis)
Developer's rights with respect to such Contractor Warranty to Mall II LLC. If
Developer obtains and delivers to Mall II LLC a No-Offset Clause from a
particular contractor, Mall II LLC may thereafter enforce the Contractor
Warranty against such contractor, and Developer will have no further obligations
to do so. However, if Developer is unable to obtain a No-Offset Clause from a
particular contractor and the contractor raises on-going claims with Developer
as a defense in any claim by Mall II LLC for Defective Work against such
contractor, then Developer shall use Developer's best efforts, at Developer's
expense, to enforce the applicable Contractor Warranty in accordance with its
terms and conditions so as to cause such contractor, at such
17
contractor's expense, to repair, replace, and/or correct such Defective Work.
Moreover, if Developer has failed to obtain any Contractor Warranty that Mall II
LLC can enforce for the work of a particular contractor relating to any
particular Mall II Unit Warranty Work, Developer shall be responsible, at
Developer's expense, to repair, replace, and/or correct Defective Work in the
work of such contractor for a period of time equal to the length of a typical
warranty period for such work or one year from the date the item or work is
placed in service if there is no typical warranty period.
(f) Developer will permit Mall II Buyer and its Consultants to review,
and will consult with them concerning, the text, terms, and conditions of
proposed Contractor Warranties for contractors who will perform the Mall
Improvement work which could become either CE Warranty Work or Mall II Unit
Warranty Work.
(g) In the event that Developer does not engage a general contractor to
construct the Mall Improvements, at Closing, Developer shall deliver to Mall II
Buyer a warranty covering the construction of the Mall Improvements on terms
consistent with those typically offered by general contractors with respect to
similar projects (the "DEVELOPER'S WARRANTY"). In such event, the covenants with
respect to construction contracts and warranties thereunder set forth in Section
3.4(b), the first sentence of Section 3.4(c) and Sections 3.4(d) and 3.4(e)
shall be inapplicable and Developer shall retain the right to enforce all
Contractor Warranties.
(h) The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall survive the Closing.
3.5 DEVELOPER'S INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Developer agrees (at Developer's expense) to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Mall II LLC, Mall II Buyer and their respective directors,
officers, stockholders, partners, members and employees (the foregoing
collectively the "MALL INDEMNITEES") from and against any loss, liability,
damage, cost, or expense (including Fees and Costs) which any of them may
suffer, or which may be asserted against any of them, in whole or in part by
reason of, or in connection with: (i) any bodily injury, sickness, disease or
death of or to any person or persons, or any damage to or destruction of
property, arising out of or resulting from acts or omissions of Developer, Mall
II LLC (to the extent taken or occurring prior to Closing) or Developer's
contractors or subcontractors in connection with the Mall Improvements or other
construction work relating to the Development, whether on the Phase II Land or
elsewhere; (ii) any failure by Developer, Mall II LLC (to the extent occurring
prior to Closing) or Developer's contractors or subcontractors to comply with
applicable Legal Requirements or insurance requirements; (iii) the use or misuse
by Developer, Mall II LLC (to the extent occurring prior to Closing) or
Developer's contractors or subcontractors of Hazardous Materials on the Phase II
Land; (iv) infringement of patent rights, licensing or royalty agreements, or
trade secrets by Developer, Mall II LLC (to the extent occurring prior to
Closing) or Developer's contractors or subcontractors in connection with the
Mall Improvements or other construction work relating to the Development,
whether on the Phase II Land or elsewhere; (v) any liens filed against the Phase
II Mall by any Person claiming by, through, or under Developer or Mall II LLC
(to
18
the extent relating to claims accruing before Closing); and/or (vi) any claims
under Developer's Warranty.
(b) Developer shall defend any Legal Proceedings commenced against any
of the Mall Indemnitees concerning any matter covered by the foregoing
indemnification. Developer shall give Mall II Buyer copies of documents served
in any such Legal Proceeding and shall advise Mall II Buyer regularly as to the
status of the same. If Developer fails to defend diligently against any such
Legal Proceeding, or if Mall II Buyer reasonably believes that Developer's
interest in such Legal Proceeding is adverse to Mall II Buyer's interest
therein, Mall II Buyer shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon ten
(10) Business Day's prior written notice, to defend the same at Developer's
expense. Developer shall not settle any such Legal Proceeding without the
written consent of Mall II Buyer (unless such settlement shall release each Mall
Indemnitee against whom liability has been asserted from all liability with
respect to such Legal Proceeding without contribution from such Indemnitee). No
Mall Indemnitee may settle any such Legal Proceeding without the written consent
of Developer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c) Mall II Buyer shall notify Developer promptly of every Legal
Proceeding or claim which may be covered by the indemnification in (a) above.
Developer's obligations under this Section 3.5 shall not be limited or defined
by the amount of insurance carried by Developer or by limitations on amount or
type of damages under worker's compensation acts or other laws relating to
employee benefits.
(d) This Section shall not require indemnification of any Mall II Buyer
Indemnitee TO THE EXTENT of the negligence or willful misconduct of Mall II
Buyer, or of Mall II LLC after the transfer of the Membership Interests to Mall
II Buyer, any of their respective agents or affiliated Persons, or another Mall
Indemnitee.
(e) The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall survive the Closing.
3.6 INSURANCE COVERAGES. At Developer's expense, Developer shall include
Mall II LLC and Mall II Buyer as an additional insured on each policy of
liability insurance carried by Developer with respect to the Development with an
aggregate limit of not less than $25,000,000. Alternatively, the parties may
agree that Mall II LLC, Mall II Buyer and Developer may be included as insureds
under one or more liability policies covering the Mall Improvements and the
entire Development. Developer will carry, at Developer's expense, a policy of
builder's risk insurance for full replacement value (exclusive of footings and
foundations) on a completed value (reporting) basis and upon other commercially
standard terms and conditions covering construction of the Mall Improvements.
3.7 COORDINATION OF BUILD-OUT. All Landlord Build-Out Work will be
performed and coordinated by Developer upon consultation with Mall II Buyer. The
parties recognize that it may be necessary or appropriate for Tenants and their
contractors and subcontractors to have access to the Phase II Mall before the
Closing to supervise and perform Tenant Build-Out Work, including any Tenant
Build-
19
Out Work which should be completed early in the process of constructing the Mall
Improvements (such as, for example, installation of wiring and conduit) to avoid
uncovering of completed Mall Improvement work after commencement of Tenant
Build-Out or otherwise to avoid re-doing of, or disruption to, the Mall
Improvement work. Mall II Buyer understands that the contractors and
subcontractors of any Tenant supervising and performing any Tenant Build-Out
Work will be subject to the direction and coordination of Developer and its
construction manager and Mall II Buyer and/or Developer shall so inform each
Tenant. Developer shall give written notice to Mall II Buyer (a "BUILD-OUT
NOTICE") when, in Developer's good faith judgment, the Mall Improvements or a
portion thereof have reached a stage of construction where it is safe and
appropriate for Tenants to have access to the Mall I Improvements or such
portion of the Mall Improvements for the purposes of supervising and performing
the Tenant Build-Out Work and such access will not interfere unreasonably with
construction of the Mall Improvements. At the Developer's election and based on
the progress of construction of the Building, the Build-Out Notice may be given
as one notice or a series of notices, each of which may give Tenants and their
respective contractors and subcontractors access to all or a portion of the Mall
II Improvements. After the giving of a Build-Out Notice, Tenant's contractors
shall have the right to enter the portions of the Phase II Mall covered by such
Build-Out Notice upon twenty-four (24) hours prior telephonic notice to
Developer for the purposes of performing the Tenant Build-Out Work. Developer
shall reasonably accommodate the scheduling of Tenant Build-Out Work (if any),
provided that the same will not interfere with the progress of the Mall
Improvement work. After the commencement of the Tenant Build-Out Work, Developer
may, from time to time, restrict Mall II Buyer's, any Tenant's or their
respective contractor's or subcontractor's access to the Mall Improvements in
order to complete other necessary construction work in the Mall Improvements and
on the Phase II Land. Developer shall use good faith efforts to keep such work
disruptions to a minimum and to schedule such disruptions so as to cause minimal
disruption to the completion of the Tenant Build-Out Work. Developer will obtain
at its expense permits with respect to Landlord Build-Out Work that it is
performing and Developer and Mall II Buyer shall jointly cause each Tenant to
obtain, all permits and approvals for construction of the Tenant Build-Out Work
that such Tenant is performing, other than the Required Mall Improvement Permits
(which Developer shall obtain at Developer's Expense). All Landlord Build-Out
Work shall be performed at the sole expense of Developer, and Mall II Buyer
shall not be responsible to pay any amount in regard of the Landlord Build-Out
Work. Entry by any Tenant or its contractors or subcontractors to perform Tenant
Build-Out Work shall not be deemed acceptance of the Mall Improvements by Mall
II Buyer or a waiver of Mall II Buyer's rights under this Agreement. Mall II
Buyer and Developer shall jointly cause Tenants and any contractors and
subcontractors, in performing the Tenant Build-Out Work, to take all reasonable
steps to minimize interference with construction of the Mall Improvements and
any other construction, shall comply with the Site Logistics Procedures and the
Tenant Handbook, and shall jointly cause Tenants to repair any damage to the
Mall Improvements (or other work in the Building) caused by Mall II Buyer, the
Tenants or any contractors and subcontractors in the performance of the Tenant
Build-Out Work. In no event shall the Tenant Build-Out Work performed by the
Tenants or any of their respective contractors or subcontractors involve any
modification
20
to the Mall II Improvements (without the prior consent of Developer) or
otherwise adversely affect Developer's ability to obtain a temporary certificate
of occupancy or a certificate of occupancy (a "C OF O") for any portion of the
Building. In the event that the performance of the Tenant Build-Out Work by
Tenant causes any delay in Developer obtaining a C of O for any portion of the
Building, such delay shall constitute a Construction Delay.
3.8 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION; ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE.
(a) "SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION" is defined in SCHEDULE "11" attached hereto
and made a part hereof.
(b) In addition to the Interim Substantial Completion Notices described
in the following Section 3.8(c), Developer shall give Mall II Buyer at least
ninety (90) days' prior notice of Developer's good faith estimate of the date of
the anticipated occurrence of Substantial Completion of all of the Mall
Improvements (the "ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE"). When Developer determines that
Substantial Completion has occurred, Developer shall cause Developer's Architect
to prepare and submit to Mall II Buyer a list of remaining items to be completed
which it believes to be Punch List Items (as defined in SCHEDULE "11") (a
"PROPOSED FINAL CHECKLIST"). Within five (5) Business Days after Mall II Buyer's
receipt of the Proposed Final Checklist (the "INSPECTION PERIOD"), Mall II Buyer
shall conduct one or more inspection(s) of the Mall Improvements. If Mall II
Buyer believes that Substantial Completion has not yet occurred, Mall II Buyer
shall give Developer notice during the Inspection Period specifying why Mall II
Buyer believes that Substantial Completion has not yet occurred and setting
forth with sufficient specificity a list of work that Mall II Buyer believes is
still required to achieve Substantial Completion (an "EXCEPTIONS NOTICE"). In
the event an Exceptions Notice is delivered, subject to Section 3.8(c) below,
Developer shall cure or correct the conditions or matters specified in the
Exceptions Notice and shall cause Developer's Architect to deliver another
Proposed Final Checklist. If Mall II Buyer still believes that Substantial
Completion has not occurred, Mall II Buyer shall give another Exceptions Notice,
and the same procedure shall be repeated until Mall II Buyer agrees (or the
Independent Expert in good faith determines) that Substantial Completion has
occurred. If Mall II Buyer agrees (or the Independent Expert in good faith
determines) that Substantial Completion has occurred, Mall II Buyer shall give
Developer a notice (a "BUYER'S PROPOSED FINAL CHECKLIST") during the Inspection
Period specifying items not included on the Proposed Final Checklist which
remain to be completed or corrected. For purposes of determining Developer's
obligations with respect to items specified on any Buyer's Proposed Final
Checklist, the term "Buyer's Proposed Final Checklist" shall mean the list of
Punch List Items submitted by Mall II Buyer in accordance with this subsection
as amended following resolution as provided hereby by Developer and Mall II
Buyer of any dispute with respect thereto. Following delivery of the Proposed
Final Checklist to Mall II Buyer by Developer and/or the Buyer's Proposed Final
Checklist to Developer by Mall II Buyer, as the case may be, then, subject to
Force Majeure delays, Developer shall cause to be completed the items set forth
in the Proposed Final Checklist and Buyer's Proposed Final Checklist, if any
(collectively, "PUNCH LIST WORK") as soon as reasonably possible, and in all
events prior to the Opening Date, except to the extent
21
that minor items of Punch List Work that do not adversely effect the operation
of the Phase II Mall may be completed after the Opening Date. Developer's
indemnification in Section 3.5 and the insurance coverages set forth in Section
3.6 shall apply to all Punch List Work. Developer shall reimburse Mall II Buyer
or a Tenant, as applicable, for costs and expenses incurred by reason of any
damage caused by Developer or its contractors or subcontractors to the Tenant
Build-Out or any other property of Mall II Buyer or such Tenant.
(c) Prior to giving the Anticipated Completion Notice described in
Section 3.8(b) above, Developer may give interim substantial completion notices
(the "INTERIM SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION NOTICES") for portions of the Mall Space as
the same near Substantial Completion. The same procedure set forth in Section
3.8(b) of delivery of a Proposed Final Checklist, followed by an Exceptions
Notice and then the Buyer's Proposed Final Checklist shall apply following the
delivery of any Interim Substantial Completion Notices.
(d) If Developer fails to commence the Punch List Work within thirty
(30) days after Substantial Completion of the entire Mall Improvements, subject
to Force Majeure, or if Developer does not thereafter diligently prosecute such
Punch List Work to completion, and if Mall II Buyer notifies Developer that
Developer is in default of its obligations to commence and diligently prosecute
the Punch List Work to completion and of Mall II Buyer's intention to undertake
the Punch List Work, then fifteen (15) days thereafter if the Punch List Work is
not completed or being diligently prosecuted to completion by Developer, Mall II
Buyer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to undertake the Punch List
Work itself (or through other Persons) at Developer's expense; and if and to the
extent that Mall II Buyer does so, Developer shall pay upon demand the
reasonable costs so incurred by Mall II Buyer.
(e) Any dispute under this Section shall be submitted to the Independent
Expert for resolution. As to any matter so submitted, the time periods specified
in Sections 3.8(b) or 3.8(c) above shall be tolled until the date a decision is
reached or issued by the Independent Expert.
(f) The provisions of this Section 3.8 shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE 4

4.1 DESIGN OF BUILD-OUT. Mall II Buyer and Developer will jointly design
the Landlord Build-Out, and Mall II Buyer and Developer will jointly cause the
Tenants to design the Tenant Build-Out of the Tenant Spaces, so that the Phase
II Mall will be a First-Class mall with a Xxxxxxx Hills/Rodeo Drive theme and an
upscale neo-classical style as provided in the Initial Plans. Developer shall
have the right to deal directly with Tenants and the Tenant's' contractors to
the extent necessary for the coordination of the Build-Out design and
construction.
22
4.2 BUILD-OUT DESIGN SUBMISSIONS FOR COORDINATION. Developer will
coordinate the Tenant Build-Out with the construction of the Mall Improvements

with the Initial Plans, the Final Construction Drawings and Specs, the Initial
Demising Wall Plan, the Final Demising Wall Plan, this Agreement, the
Construction Safety & Health Manual, the Tenant Handbook, the Site Logistics
Procedures, the Work Continuation Agreement, the REA or the Amended REA.
Developer shall have the right to review and approve, in its reasonable
judgment, the consultant or contractors agreements for any Build-Out Work for
which it is required to pay. Mall II Buyer shall endeavor to deliver, or cause
Tenants to deliver, such contracts to Developer.
ARTICLE 5
CONSTRUCTION OF BUILD-OUT
5.1 CONSTRUCTION OF BUILD-OUT. Developer will undertake the construction
of the Landlord Build-Out, including agreement, upon consultation with Mall II
Buyer, on the terms and conditions of any contracts to construct the Landlord
Build-Out. Developer will ensure that the Landlord Build-Out is performed in
accordance with the Initial Plans, the Final Construction Drawings and Specs,
the Initial Demising Wall Plan, the Final Demising Wall Plan, this Agreement,
the Site Logistics Procedures, the Construction Safety & Health Manual, the
guidelines of the Tenant Handbook set forth in SCHEDULE "14" attached hereto and
made a part hereof, as the same may be modified to reflect the theme and layout
of the Phase II Mall and from time to time by Developer (the "TENANT HANDBOOK")
and the Work Continuation Agreement set forth in SCHEDULE "20" attached hereto
and made a part hereof. Developer will obtain at its expense with regard to any
Landlord Build-Out, and Developer and Mall II Buyer will cause Tenants to obtain
with respect to any Tenant Build-Out, all permits and approvals for construction
of the Tenant Build-Out other than the Required Mall Improvement Permits (which
Developer shall obtain at Developer's expense). The Landlord Build-Out shall be
constructed of good quality; in a xxxxxxx-like manner and incorporating only new
materials and equipment; and by means and methods complying with applicable
Legal Requirements and insurance requirements. Developer shall commence the
Landlord Build-Out Work, and Mall II Buyer and Developer shall jointly cause
Tenants to commence the Tenant Build-Out Work no later than promptly after
delivery of the Build-Out Notice, subject to Force Majeure, Developer Delays,
Construction Delays and the Site Logistics Procedures. Developer shall be
responsible to pay all Leasing Costs in connection with the Landlord Build-Out.
5.2 MALL II BUYER'S INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) Mall II Buyer agrees (at Mall II Buyer's expense) to indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Developer and Mall II LLC (such indemnification of Mall
II LLC only prior to the assignment of the Membership Interests to Mall II
Buyer) and their respective directors, officers, stockholders, partners,
members, and
23
employees (the foregoing collectively the "DEVELOPER INDEMNITEES") from and
against loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including Fees and Costs)
which any of them may suffer, or which may be asserted against any of them, in
whole or in part by reason of, or in connection with: (i) any bodily injury,
sickness, disease or death of or to any person or persons, or any damage to or
destruction of property, arising out of or resulting from acts or omissions of
Mall II Buyer, Mall II LLC (to the extent taken or occurring after Closing), or
their respective contractors or subcontractors in connection with any act or
omission of any such party in respect of the Phase II Land or the Mall
Improvements; (ii) any failure by Mall II Buyer, Mall II LLC (to the extent
occurring after Closing), or their respective contractors or subcontractors to
comply with applicable Legal Requirements or insurance requirements; (iii) the
use or misuse by Mall II Buyer or Mall II LLC (to the extent occurring after
Closing) or their respective contractors or subcontractors of Hazardous
Materials on the Phase II Land or in the Leasehold Airspace; (iv) infringement
of patent rights, licensing or royalty agreements, or trade secrets by Mall II
Buyer or Mall II LLC (to the extent occurring after Closing), or their
respective contractors or subcontractors; and/or (v) any liens filed against the
Building and/or the Phase II Land or the Leasehold Airspace by any Person
claiming by, through, or under Mall II Buyer, Mall II LLC (to the extent
occurring after Closing) other than liens filed as a result of Developer's
failure to pay any Leasing Costs.
(b) Mall II Buyer shall defend any Legal Proceedings commenced against
any of Developer Indemnitees concerning any matter covered by the foregoing
indemnification. Mall II Buyer shall give Developer copies of documents served
in any such Legal Proceeding and shall advise Developer regularly as to the
status of the same. If Mall II Buyer fails to defend diligently against any such
Legal Proceeding, or if Developer reasonably believes that Mall II Buyer's
interest in such Legal Proceeding is adverse to Developer's interest therein,
Developer shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon ten (10) Business
Day's prior written notice, to defend the same at Mall II Buyer's expense. Mall
II Buyer shall not settle any such Legal Proceeding without the written consent
of Developer (unless such settlement shall release each Developer Indemnitee
against whom liability has been asserted from all liability with respect to such
Legal Proceeding without contribution from such Indemnitee). No Developer
Indemnitee may settle any such Legal Proceeding without the written consent of
Mall II Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c) Developer shall notify Mall II Buyer promptly of every Legal
Proceeding or claim which may be covered by the indemnification in (a) above.
Mall II Buyer's obligations under this Section 5.2 shall not be limited or
defined by the amount of insurance carried by Mall II Buyer or by limitations on
the amount or type of damages under worker's compensation acts or other laws
relating to employee benefits.
(d) This Section shall not require indemnification of any Developer
Indemnitee TO THE EXTENT of the negligence or willful misconduct of Developer,
Mall II LLC (prior to the transfer of the Membership Interests to Mall II
Buyer), any of their respective agents or another Developer Indemnitee.
(e) The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive the Closing.
24
5.3 INSURANCE COVERAGES. Mall II Buyer and Developer shall jointly cause
each Tenant with access to the Tenant Spaces to perform the Tenant Build-Out to
include Developer and Mall II LLC as additional insureds on each policy of
liability insurance carried by such Tenant, as applicable, with respect to the
Tenant Build-Out with a limit of not less than $10,000,000 with respect to any
Tenant. Mall II Buyer and Developer shall jointly cause each such Tenant to
furnish certificates evidencing all such insurance coverages to Developer before
such Tenant starts work in the Phase II Mall. Alternatively, the parties may
agree that Mall II Buyer, Mall II LLC and Developer may be included as insureds
under one or more liability policies covering the Build-Out and the entire
Building.
5.4 SITE LOGISTICS PROCEDURES AND PLAN. Within a reasonable time before
Developer or a Tenant, as applicable, commences the Build-Out (so that Mall II
Buyer and Developer may plan and schedule site mobilization, logistics, and
materials deliveries), Developer shall promulgate procedures and a plan (the
"SITE LOGISTICS PROCEDURES") for mobilization, logistics, and access applicable
to all Persons performing construction work or services in the Building,
including work hours; delivery, handling and storage of materials; staging,
hoisting, use of elevators and loading docks, location of trailers; and other
such matters. All Persons performing work in the Building shall be required to
abide by the Construction Safety & Health Manual described on SCHEDULE "9"
attached hereto and made a part hereof, as the same may be modified by Developer
to reflect the Phase II Mall layout and other relevant facts (the "CONSTRUCTION
SAFETY & HEALTH MANUAL") and either Developer or H/C I Owner may, from time to
time, update and revise the Construction Safety & Health Manual in its
reasonable discretion. The parties acknowledge that staging, hoisting, etc. may
need to be integrated into the design and is crucial to construction sequencing.
The Site Logistics Procedures: (a) shall not discriminate against any Tenant in
such matters; (b) shall afford any Tenant performing Tenant Build-Out Work
regular but non-exclusive use of hoists and elevators for orderly and regular
access to the areas of the Building in which Tenant will perform any Tenant
Build-Out; (c) shall allow any Tenant orderly and regular access to those areas
of the Building outside the Phase II Mall which such Tenant must access to
supervise or perform the Tenant Build-Out; and (d) shall allow for sufficient
facilities, equipment and access to permit the orderly and continuous
prosecution and completion of the construction of the Tenant Build-Out by
Tenants and the contractors and subcontractors of Tenants during normal working
hours (and on an overtime basis if a Tenant elects to perform work on an
overtime basis and other construction work is permitted on an overtime basis).
The Site Logistics Procedures shall specify that Developer will provide hoists
and operating engineers to operate hoists and service elevators (but only so
long as such docks, hoists and elevators are available for use as of such date).
However, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Site Logistics Procedures may
provide that, starting on a date prior to the opening for business of any
portion of the Phase II Hotel/Casino, the access of Tenants (and their
respective contractors' and subcontractors') for supervision and construction of
the Tenant Build-Out shall be limited to the loading docks, hoists and service
elevators (but only so long as such docks, hoists and elevators are available
for use as of such date). Developer shall not discriminate against the Tenants
in applying the Site Logistics Procedures or otherwise in Developer's
administration of construction
25
work on, or access to or through, the Building. The Site Logistics Procedures
shall not impose any cost or charge for access to or through, or use of, any
facilities or areas of the Building EXCEPT FOR pass-through without markup of
actual labor, utility or equipment charges or other third-party costs
(collectively, "DIRECT COSTS") for use of facilities as to which labor or
special equipment are required and are specifically chargeable to or paid by
Developer (including overtime where applicable). The costs of the hoists and
service elevators shall not be included in Direct Costs, except to the extent
which a Tenant requests overtime service. If direct hourly rates do not apply,
Developer shall pay, unless the applicable Tenant shall be required to pay, 100%
of Direct Costs for equipment and facilities used exclusively by any Tenant and
an equitable portion of Direct Costs for equipment and facilities also used by
others as and to the extent actually used by any Tenant based on such Tenant's
percentage of use of special equipment and facilities (including overtime where
applicable). Developer shall provide dumpsters for use in connection with the
Tenant Build-Out. Mall II Buyer shall be responsible for cleaning their own work
area and removing their own trash to the provided dumpsters. Each Tenant shall
pay for the dumpster service as a part of the Direct Costs in accordance with
their Tenant Space's proportionate percentage of the total leasable Floor Area.
5.5 INSPECTION BY DEVELOPER. Developer shall have the right (and Mall II
Buyer and Developer shall endeavor to include such a right in the Leases) during
usual business hours, at Developer's expense and upon reasonable notice to Mall
II Buyer or Tenants, to inspect the Tenant Build-Out Work to ascertain that the
performance of such work adheres to the Leases and design plans agreed to by
Mall II Buyer, Developer and Tenants.
ARTICLE 6
ACCESS TO PHASE II LAND; RELATED MATTERS
6.1 ACCESS. After the date hereof, Developer shall allow Mall II Buyer
and its Consultants, construction manager, contractors and representatives to
visit, inspect, and review the Phase II Land and the Building and matters
relating to the Phase II Land and the Building during working hours on Business
Days upon reasonable advance telephonic notice. Mall II Buyer's indemnification
in Section 5.2 and the insurance coverages set forth in Section 5.3 shall apply
to all inspections of the Phase II Land pursuant to this Article. In connection
with the joint leasing efforts described herein, Developer shall cooperate with
Mall II Buyer, including, without limitation, making available to Mall II Buyer
marketing materials with respect to the Phase II Hotel/Casino and (subject to
the provisions of this Section 6.1) permitting Mall II Buyer to conduct tours of
the Phase II Mall and the Phase II Hotel/Casino with prospective tenants.
Developer will also allow Mall II Buyer and its representatives (during working
hours on Business Days upon reasonable advance telephonic notice) to review and
copy information in Developer's possession (other than information which
Developer deems confidential) which may affect or relate to Mall II Buyer's
review or inspection of the design or construction of the Mall Improvements,
Mall II Buyer's participation in the design and construction of the Build-Out,
and/or Mall II Buyer's ownership and/or operation of the Phase II Mall after the
Closing or which Mall II Buyer may otherwise
26
reasonably request to confirm, verify or inquire into matters covered by this
Agreement, including the physical condition of the Phase II Land, plans,
surveys, title examinations, construction contracts, etc. Developer and
Developer's Consultants and representatives shall cooperate reasonably with Mall
II Buyer's Consultants and representatives in such matters. Any visits to, or
inspections at, the Phase II Land or the Building by Mall II Buyer or its
representatives shall not interfere with construction or other work in progress
and shall be subject to site safety concerns.
6.2 INDEMNITY. Mall II Buyer agrees to indemnify Developer from and
against loss, cost, expense, damage, charge, claim or liability (including Fees
and Costs) which Developer may suffer, incur, or pay out by reason of the acts
or omissions of Mall II Buyer and its Consultants and representatives in making
any inspections of the Phase II Land and the Building pursuant to Section 6.1
(but not with respect to any condition at the Phase II Land or the Building
discovered by any inspections, examinations or tests). Mall II Buyer and its
Consultants shall have liability insurance in effect which covers any activities
on the Phase II Land or in the Building before the Closing in accordance with
Section 6.1. The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE 7
TIMING FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
7.1 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION.
(a) Developer shall give Mall II Buyer quarterly updates of the progress
of construction of the Mall Improvements and the Palazzo Casino Resort and
monthly updates for the six (6) months immediately preceding the date on which
Developer expects to achieve Substantial Completion. Developer shall achieve
Substantial Completion by the date that is the earlier of (i) thirty-six (36)
months after the date on which sufficient permits are received to allow
Developer to begin construction in compliance with Legal Requirements and (ii)
March 1, 2008, as the same may be extended due to Force Majeure, Construction
Delays or Buyer Delays (the "OUTSIDE SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE"). In the event
that, despite Developer's diligent efforts, Substantial Completion has not
occurred by the Outside Substantial Completion Date and Developer shall
nevertheless be endeavoring diligently to complete the Mall Improvements, then
so long as Mall II Buyer is not in default of any obligations under this
Agreement, Mall II Buyer shall be entitled to liquidated damages (the "INTERIM
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES") in the amount of $5,000 per day for each day after the
Outside Substantial Completion Date on which Substantial Completion has not
occurred up to and including the date that is six (6) months after the Outside
Substantial Completion Date and $10,000 per day for each day from and after said
date to and including the date that is one (1) year after the Outside
Substantial Completion Date on which Substantial Completion has not occurred.
During the one year period during which Interim Liquidated Damages are payable,
Developer shall also reimburse Mall II Buyer for actual out-of-pocket damages
incurred and paid to Tenants under said Tenant's Leases (including any reduced
rent, rent abatements or other rent concessions under said
27
Tenant's Leases) resulting from Developer's delay in achieving Substantial
Completion ("LEASE DAMAGES").
(b) If Substantial Completion has not occurred on or before the date
that is one (1) year after the Outside Substantial Completion Date, subject to
extension for Force Majeure, Construction Delays and Buyer Delays, then Mall II
Buyer and Developer agree that it would be impracticable and extremely difficult
to ascertain the actual damage to Mall II Buyer as a result of the failure of
Developer to achieve Substantial Completion by such date and that the Buyer
Liquidated Damages Amount is a reasonable estimate of the damages which Mall II
Buyer will incur as a result of such failure and, in such an event, Developer
shall pay to Mall II Buyer the Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount and Developer
shall be responsible to pay the Lease Damages. The "BUYER LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
AMOUNT" as used in this Agreement shall mean one hundred million dollars
($100,000,000).
7.2 OPENING DATE.
(a) Commencing upon the notification from Developer to Mall II Buyer of
the Anticipated Completion Date as provided in Section 3.8, Mall II Buyer and
Developer shall negotiate in good faith, based on the work required to complete
the Phase II Mall and the Phase II Hotel/Casino, to agree on an appropriate date
for the Phase II Mall and the Phase II Hotel/Casino to open for business (the
"OPENING DATE"). Developer shall cause the Phase II Hotel Casino to open for
business no later than the Opening Date. "OPEN FOR BUSINESS" as used in
connection with the Phase II Hotel/Casino shall mean that the casino is open for
business to the general public and at least one thousand (1,000) guest rooms are
available for occupancy by hotel guests. The Opening Date shall be extended one
day for each day of delay due to Force Majeure, Construction Delays or Buyer
Delays. If Developer shall fail to cause the Phase II Hotel/Casino to Open for
Business by the Opening Date, as extended as described in the prior sentence,
Developer shall pay to Mall II Buyer the amount of $5,000 per day for each day
after the Opening Date on which the Phase II Hotel/Casino fails to Open for
Business up to and including the one hundred and eighty-first (181st) day
following the Opening Date and $10,000 per day for each day from the one hundred
and eighty-first (181st) day following the Opening Date through the one year
anniversary of the Opening Date on which the Phase II Hotel/Casino fails to Open
for Business. From and after the date that is one year after the Opening Date,
if the Phase II Hotel/Casino is not Open for Business, Developer shall reimburse
Mall II Buyer for any actual damages incurred as a result of the delayed opening
for business of the Phase II Hotel/Casino.
(b) Mall II Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Phase II Mall to Open for Business on the Opening Date, but in no event shall
the Phase II Mall Open for Business later than the latest of (i) four (4) months
after the date on which Substantial Completion is achieved, (ii) the date on
which the Phase II Hotel/Casino opens for business or (iii) the Opening Date
(the "MALL OPENING Date"). "OPEN FOR BUSINESS" as used in connection with the
Phase II Mall shall mean that the Phase II Mall has held a public grand opening.
The Mall Opening Date shall be extended one day for each day of delay due to
Force Majeure or Developer Delays. If Mall II
28
Buyer shall fail to cause the Phase II Mall to Open for Business by the Mall
Opening Date, as extended as described in the prior sentence, Mall II Buyer
shall reimburse Developer for any actual damages incurred as a result of the
delayed opening for business of the Phase II Mall.
(c) The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall survive the Closing.
ARTICLE 8
AMENDED REA AND XXXXX
8.1 AMENDED REA. The Phase II Mall is part of a complex consisting of
the Venetian Casino Resort and the Palazzo Casino Resort. The Venetian Casino
Resort and the Palazzo Casino Resort each include several component sections
each owned by a different Unit Owner. The REA is the document that governs the
relationship, including, among other things, cost allocations and easements,
among the various Unit Owners. Prior to the Closing, Developer, Mall II Buyer

Affiliates shall be permitted to assume such financing in connection with the
exercise by Developer of its rights under Section 21.2 and (xi) any other
matters that would be of mutual benefit to the Unit Owners. In the event that
the Unit Owners are not able to agree on the terms of the Amended REA the matter
shall be referred to an Independent Expert in accordance with the provisions of
Article 9.
8.2 XXXXX. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the opening of the
Phase II Mall, unless Mall I LLC and Mall II LLC agree otherwise, there must be
in place an executed construction, operation and reciprocal easement agreement
("XXXXX") between Mall I LLC and Mall II LLC. Negotiations regarding the XXXXX
will follow as soon as practicable following the date hereof and each of Mall I
LLC and Mall II LLC must act in good faith and reasonably in connection with
29
such negotiations. The XXXXX must, among other things, (i) be an agreement that
a commercially reasonable owner of the Phase I Mall and of the Phase II Mall

9.
ARTICLE 9
CONSULTATION; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Article 15 (other than those contained in Sections 15.1(a), 15(b), 15(c) and
15.1(g), which shall survive the Closing Date without limitation as to time), as
remade as of the Closing Date as provided in Section 15.12(c) and subject to any
modifications thereof made in any certificate provided for in said Section
15.12(c), shall survive until one (1) year after the Closing Date; provided,
however, that Developer's liability for any breach of such warranties,
representations and certifications shall not expire as to any breach or alleged
breach thereof if notice of such breach or alleged breach is given by Mall II
Buyer to Developer prior to one (1) year after the Closing Date and, if such
notice is given, legal proceedings are instituted in respect of such breach or
alleged breach within six (6) months after such notice is given. Developer's
obligations to perform the Landlord Build-Out Work and to pay Leasing Costs
shall survive until the Earn-Out Date and shall apply to all Leases executed
prior to the Earn-Out Date, with respect to Landlord Build-Out Work and Leasing
Costs which are to be performed or are incurred before the Earn-Out Date.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article
15, subject to the last sentence of this Section 15.12(b), (i) Developer shall
have no liability to Mall II Buyer for breach of any warranty and representation
set forth in this Article 15 unless and except to the extent that the damages
due to Mall II Buyer by reason of all such breaches exceed Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the "BASKET"), (ii) in no event shall Developer be
liable to Mall II Buyer for consequential or punitive damages in respect of any
such breach and (iii) in no event shall Developer's liability to Mall II Buyer
for all such breaches exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the "CAP").

contained in Sections 15.1(a), 15.1(b), 15.1(c) or 15.1(g).
43
(c) All of Developer's representations and warranties set forth in this

Representation Certificate (the "DEVELOPER'S REPRESENTATION CERTIFICATE") in the
form of EXHIBIT B attached hereto and made a part hereof, which certificate
shall be delivered to Mall II Buyer on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything else set forth in this Agreement, if any matter or event
shall have occurred between the date hereof and the Closing Date or Developer
shall otherwise become aware of any fact which makes any such warranty or
representation untrue in any material respect, Developer shall have the duty to
disclose such fact in Developer's Representation Certificate, and if Developer
does so, Developer shall not be liable to Mall II Buyer following the Closing
Date for the breach of the warranty or representation in question which results
from the occurrence or existence of such fact, but in no event shall Mall II
Buyer be obligated to close hereunder unless the conditions precedent to Mall II
Buyer's obligation to close set forth in this Agreement (including, without
limitation, in Section 15.1(a)) shall have been fulfilled.

15 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if prior to the Closing Date, Mall II Buyer
has or obtains knowledge that any of Developer's warranties or representations
set forth in this Article 15 is untrue in any respect, and Mall II Buyer
nevertheless proceeds with the Closing, then the breach by Developer of the
warranties, representations or certifications as to which Mall II Buyer shall
have or obtained such knowledge shall be waived by Mall II Buyer and Developer
shall have no liability to Mall II Buyer or its successors or assigns in respect
thereof.
15.13 INDEMNIFICATION. Developer shall, at Developer's expense,
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mall II LLC from and against any loss,
liability, damage, cost, or expense (including Fees and Costs) which Mall II LLC
may suffer, or which may be asserted against Mall II LLC, in whole or in part by
reason of, or in connection with any liabilities, obligations, debts, claims,
causes of action, judgments and damages which may be asserted against, imposed

from an act or omission of Mall II Buyer prior to closing, by reason of any of
the following: (i) any obligation of Mall II LLC for borrowed money which was

party with respect to any period prior to the Closing Date; (iii) all
obligations and payments due from Mall II LLC to trade creditors with respect to

assessed by a governmental authority for the period prior to the Closing Date,
whether or not imposed or assessed
44
after the Closing Date; and (viii) any liabilities relating to any employees of
Developer or Mall II LLC to the extent their employment relates to the period

collective bargaining agreements of Developer or Mall II LLC with respect to

without limiting any indemnification expressly provided for in Section 3.5 of
this Agreement, in no event shall the indemnification provided for in this
Section 15.13 apply to any claim, liability, obligation, debt, cause of action,
judgment or damage asserted against or imposed upon Mall II Buyer or Mall II LLC
under or in respect of any Lease or on account of the Landlord Build-Out, except
to the extent that Developer is obligated to pay any Leasing Costs or undertakes
to construct the Landlord Build-Out pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
15.14 TSUNAMI. If it is necessary that Tsunami surrender its leasehold
interest in the Phase I Mall because it is anticipated that its demised space or
a portion thereof will need to be occupied by an anchor tenant in accordance
with the Common Area Plan, the Initial Demising Wall Plan, the Final Demising
Wall Plan agreed to by Developer and Mall II Buyer, or any Lease executed by
Mall II LLC in accordance with the provisions hereof, Developer shall use
commercially reasonable efforts at Developer's sole expense to obtain the
surrender of such leasehold interest. If it is not necessary for Tsunami to
surrender its leasehold interests as aforesaid, or if Tsunami surrenders its
leasehold interest and not all of its space is required for such anchor tenant,
Mall II Buyer and Developer agree that such space (or the aforesaid unused
portion of such space) shall remain part of the Phase I Mall notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary. If Tsunami does surrender all or a
portion of its leasehold interest, then the surrendered portion anticipated to
be used for the anchor tenant shall be considered part of the Phase II Mall.

permit Mall II LLC to enter into, modify or amend any Lease except with Mall II

retail stores and restaurants to be located in the Phase II Mall with tenants
jointly selected by Mall II Buyer and Developer and on terms mutually acceptable

47
16.4 COMPLIANCE WITH GAMING LAWS BY TENANTS. Mall II Buyer acknowledges
that Developer and Affiliates of Developer conduct businesses that are or may be
subject to and exist because of privileged licenses issued by Gaming
Authorities. Therefore, not less than thirty (30) days prior to Mall II LLC
entering into any Lease (a "PROPOSED LEASE"), Mall II Buyer and Developer shall
cause the tenant under such Proposed Lease (the "PROPOSED TENANT"), if such
Proposed Tenant is a corporation, to disclose to Mall II Buyer and Developer the
names of all of its officers and directors. Unless it is a publicly traded
corporation on a national stock exchange, the Proposed Tenant shall disclose to
Mall II Buyer and Developer all direct and indirect ownership interests in the
Proposed Tenant and all lenders or sources of financing. If requested to do so
by Developer, Mall II Buyer shall require a Proposed Tenant to obtain any
license, qualification, clearance or the like which shall be requested or
required of any Proposed Tenant by any Gaming Authority or any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over Developer or any Affiliate of Developer. If a
Proposed Tenant fails to satisfy such requirement or if Developer or any
Affiliate of Developer is directed not to involve itself in business with a
Proposed Tenant by any such authority, or if Developer shall in good faith
determine that a Proposed Tenant, or any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, designees or representatives, or a partner, owner, member, or
shareholder, or any lender or financial participant (a) is or might be engaged
in, or is about to be engaged in, any activity or activities, or (b) was or is
involved in any relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize
Developer's business, reputation or such licenses, or those of its Affiliates,
or if any such license is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended
or revoked, then Mall II LLC, at Developer's direction, shall not enter into the
Proposed Lease with the Proposed Tenant. Any Lease entered into in violation of
this Section 16.4 shall be deemed null and void and of no force or effect. All
Leases shall include the provision set forth in SCHEDULE "19" attached hereto
and made a part hereof. To the extent any Lease shall not include the provision
set forth in SCHEDULE "19," such Lease shall be null and void and of no force or
effect. Developer and its successors and assigns shall be a third-party
beneficiaries of the provision described in SCHEDULE "19" (and the applicable
Leases shall so provide) and Developer and its successors and assigns shall have
the right to take all appropriate action to enforce such provision, including
initiating and prosecuting to completion eviction proceedings. The provisions of
this Section 16.4 shall survive until the Closing at which point the inclusion
of gaming provisions in the Leases or Proposed Leases shall be governed by the
Amended REA.
16.5 COMPLIANCE WITH GAMING LAWS BY MALL II BUYER. Mall II Buyer

its officers and directors on Part Two of SCHEDULE "10." Mall II Buyer has also
disclosed on SCHEDULE "10" all direct and indirect ownership interests in Mall
II Buyer (excluding (i) any holders of publicly traded shares of General Growth
Properties, Inc. or (ii) any limited partners of GGP Limited Partnership that
are Institutional Investors) and all lenders or sources of financing that are
not Institutional Investors. Mall II Buyer shall promptly notify Developer of
any occurrence which might make the information set forth on SCHEDULE "10"
incorrect or incomplete. If requested to do so by Developer, Mall II Buyer
48
shall obtain any license, qualification, clearance or the like which shall be
requested or required of Mall II Buyer by any Gaming Authority or any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over Developer or any Affiliate of Developer. If
Mall II Buyer fails to satisfy such requirement or if Developer or any Affiliate
of Developer is directed not to involve itself in business with Mall II Buyer by
any such Gaming Authority, or if Developer shall in good faith determine that
Mall II Buyer, or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, designees
or representatives, or a partner, owner, member, or shareholder, or any lender
or financial participant (a) is or might be engaged in, or is about to be
engaged in, any activity or activities, or (b) was or is involved in any
relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize Developer's business,
reputation or such licenses, or those of its Affiliates, or if any such license
is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked, then Mall
II Buyer, at Developer's direction, shall immediately (i) terminate any
relationship with the individual or entity which is the source of the problem or
(ii) cease the activity creating the problem. If Mall II Buyer does not comply
with item (i) or (ii) above, then Developer may require Mall II Buyer to
specifically perform such obligation (the parties recognizing that damages or
other remedies would be inadequate under the circumstances). The provisions of
this Section 16.5 shall survive until the Closing at which point Mall II Buyer's
compliance with the Gaming Authorities shall be governed by the Amended REA.

Encumbrance. ---

if Developer is unable (subject to Article 21 hereof) or is not required to
satisfy the conditions in Section 10.1(d) of this Agreement, then provided that
the Title Defect does not prevent the operation by Mall II LLC of a mall in the
Mall Space, Mall II Buyer shall accept such title as Developer is then able to
provide and the Closing Payment shall be reduced in an amount equal to the
amount by which such Title Defect(s) reduce the value of the Phase II Mall, as

and Mall II Buyer agrees to purchase the Membership Interests from the
Developer, to assume the obligations in respect thereof accruing from and after
the Closing Date and to pay to Developer the Closing Payments, the Adjustments
Payments, the Earn-Out Payment, the Recalculated Earn-Out and any other payment
due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
20.2 PAYMENTS. Developer agrees to construct the Phase II Mall
substantially in accordance with the Initial Plans (before the Final
Construction Drawings and Specs are agreed to by Mall II Buyer and Developer)
and Final Construction Drawings and Specs (once the same are agreed to by Mall

therefor, Mall II Buyer shall make the following payments to Developer:
(a) CLOSING PAYMENT. At the Closing, Mall II Buyer shall pay to
Developer by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account
designated by Developer an amount (the "CLOSING Payment") equal to the greater
of (i) two hundred and fifty million dollars ($250,000,000) and (ii) the
projected net operating income divided by the Cap Rate. As used in this
Agreement, the "CAP RATE" shall mean (A) .06 for every dollar of net operating
income up to thirty-eight million dollars ($38,000,000) and (B) (without
modifying or nullifying clause (A)) .08 for every dollar of net operating income
including and above thirty-eight million dollars ($38,000,000). If, despite good
faith efforts by Developer and Mall II Buyer to arrive at an appropriate amount
of the Closing Payment, there is a disagreement over the amount of the Closing
Payment, the parties shall agree to close despite such disagreement and Mall II
Buyer shall pay to Developer the entire undisputed portion of the Closing
Payment subject to the following sentence. Upon resolution by Mall II Buyer and
Developer (or by the Independent Expert) of the disputed amount, Mall II Buyer
shall also pay to Developer interest at the Interest Rate on the amount
calculated pursuant to this Section 20.2(a), to the extent unpaid, for the
period from the Closing Date to the date on which the Closing Payment is made to
Developer.
(b) ADJUSTMENT PAYMENTS.
(1) On the Business Day immediately preceding each of the six (6) month
anniversary, the twelve (12) month anniversary, the eighteen (18) month
anniversary and the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date (each
an "INTERIM PAYMENT DATE" and, collectively, the "INTERIM PAYMENT DATES"), Mall
II Buyer shall pay to Developer by wire transfer of immediately available
federal funds to an account designated by Developer an amount (each an
"ADJUSTMENT PAYMENT" and, collectively, the "ADJUSTMENT PAYMENTS") equal to the
positive difference, if any, between
52
(i) the net operating income divided by the Cap Rate and (ii) (A) the sum of the
Closing Payment and the net aggregate amount of any Adjustment Payments made to
Developer, if any, made on previous Interim Payment Dates MINUS (B) the amount
of any free rent granted to Tenants under any Leases included in the calculation
of net operating income as of such Interim Payment Date for the period from the
immediately prior Interim Payment Date (or the Closing Date, for the first
Adjustment Payment) up to and including such Interim Payment Date. If, despite
good faith efforts by Developer and Mall II Buyer to arrive at an appropriate
amount of any Adjustment Payment, there is a disagreement over the amount of
such Adjustment Payment from Mall II Buyer to Developer, Mall II Buyer shall pay
to Developer the entire undisputed portion of the Adjustment Payment, if any,
subject to the following sentence. Upon resolution by Mall II Buyer and
Developer (or by the Independent Expert) of the disputed amount, Mall II Buyer
shall also pay to Developer, as part of each Adjustment Payment, interest at the
Interest Rate on the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 20.2(b), to the
extent unpaid, for the period from the Interim Payment Date to the date on which
the applicable Adjustment Payment is made to Developer.
(2) In the event that, on any Interim Payment Date, the amount set forth
in clause (ii) is greater than the amount set forth clause (i) of Section
20.2(b)(1), Developer shall pay the amount of such difference to Mall II Buyer
by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated
by Mall II Buyer. If, despite good faith efforts by Developer and Mall II Buyer
to arrive at an appropriate amount of any Adjustment Payment from Developer to
Mall II Buyer, there is a disagreement over the amount of such Adjustment
Payment, Developer shall pay to Mall II Buyer the entire undisputed portion of
the Adjustment Payment, if any, subject to the following sentence. Upon
resolution by Mall II Buyer and Developer (or by the Independent Expert) of the
disputed amount, Developer shall also pay to Mall II Buyer, as part of each such
payment, interest at the Interest Rate on the amount calculated pursuant to the
preceding sentence, to the extent unpaid, for the period from the Interim
Payment Date to the date on which such payment is made to Mall II Buyer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer shall have no obligation to make any
payments pursuant to this Section 20.2(b)(2) which would have the effect of
reducing the net aggregate amount received by Developer from Mall II Buyer
pursuant to the Closing Payments and the Adjustment Payments (excluding amounts
received that constitute interest on amounts not paid on the date due) below two
hundred and fifty million dollars ($250,000,000).
(c) EARN-OUT PAYMENT.
(1) On the date that is thirty (30) months after the Closing Date (the
"EARN-OUT DATE"), Mall II Buyer shall pay to Developer by wire transfer of
immediately available federal funds to an account designated by Developer, an
amount (with interest as provided below, the "EARN-OUT PAYMENT") equal to the
positive difference, if any, between (i) the net operating income divided by the
Cap Rate and (ii) (A) the sum of the Closing Payment and the net aggregate
amount of all Adjustment Payments made to Developer, if any, MINUS (B) the
amount of any free rent granted to Tenants under any Leases included in the
calculation of net operating income as of the
53
Earn-Out Date for the period from the final Interim Payment Date up to and
including the Earn-Out Date. If, despite good faith efforts by Developer and
Mall II Buyer to arrive at an appropriate amount of the Earn-Out Payment from
Mall II Buyer to Developer, there is a disagreement over the amount of the
Earn-Out Payment, Mall II Buyer shall pay to Developer the entire undisputed
portion of the Earn-Out Payment, if any, that the parties can agree is payable
from Mall II Buyer to Developer, subject to the following sentence. Upon
resolution by Mall II Buyer and Developer (or by the Independent Expert) of the
disputed amount, Mall II Buyer shall also pay to Developer, as part of the
Earn-Out Payment, interest at the Interest Rate on the amount calculated
pursuant to this Section 20.2(c), to the extent unpaid, for the period from the
Earn-Out Date to the date on which the Earn-Out Payment is made to Developer. In
the event that a Market Disruption Event shall occur, then Developer shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to extend the Earn-Out Date up to one day for
each day that such Market Disruption Event shall continue. A "MARKET DISRUPTION
EVENT" shall have been deemed to have occurred on the first day of the month
(the "INITIAL MARKET DISRUPTION DATE") when, in response to a specific event or
series of events (for example a contagious disease outbreak or terrorist event
which results in decreased numbers of travelers), the total number of airline
passengers enplaning and deplaning at McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas,
Nevada, in any given month, as reported by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors
Authority in either its "MONTHLY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY" or its annual "YEAR-TO-DATE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY" (or some other verifiable source of such similar statistical
information) ("MCCARRAN PASSENGERS") decreases more than twenty percent (20%) as
compared to the same month in the prior year. Such Market Disruption Event shall
be deemed to continue until the last day of the month in which the number of
McCarran Passengers for such month is equal to or greater than the number of
McCarran Passengers in the same month in the prior year, but in no event shall
the Earn-Out Date be delayed for longer than one (1) year due to such Market
Disruption Event.
(2) In the event that, on the Earn-Out Date, the amount set forth in
clause (ii) is greater than the amount set forth in clause (i) of Section
20.2(c)(1), Developer shall pay the amount of such difference to Mall II Buyer
by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated
by Mall II Buyer. If, despite good faith efforts by Developer and Mall II Buyer
to arrive at an appropriate amount of the Earn-Out Payment from Developer to
Mall II Buyer, there is a disagreement over the amount of the Earn-Out Payment,
Developer shall pay to Mall II Buyer the entire undisputed portion of the
Earn-Out Payment, if any, that the parties can agree is due from Developer to
Mall II Buyer, subject to the following sentence. Upon resolution by Mall II
Buyer and Developer (or by the Independent Expert) of the disputed amount,
Developer shall also pay to Mall II Buyer, as part of each such payment,
interest at the Interest Rate on the amount calculated pursuant to the preceding
sentence, to the extent unpaid, for the period from the Earn-Out Date to the
date on which such payment is made to Mall II Buyer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Developer shall have no obligation to make any payments pursuant to
this Section 20.2(c)(2) which would have the effect of reducing the net
aggregate amount received by Developer from Mall II Buyer pursuant to the
Closing Payment, all Adjustment Payments and the Earn-Out Payment (excluding
amounts received that constitute interest on amounts not paid on the date due)
below two hundred and fifty million dollars ($250,000,000).
54
(d) OTHER. Any other payment required by the terms of this Agreement.
20.3 RECALCULATED EARN-OUT. On the eighteen-month anniversary of the
Earn-Out Date (the "FINAL Date"), each of the parties shall identify by notice
to the other any items that should have been appropriately included as operating
income or operating expenses as of the Earn-Out Date had the parties been aware
of such item (by way of example, and without limitation, any adjustment made
pursuant to a Tenant audit) and recalculate the net operating income and the
Earn-Out Payment taking those items into account (the "RECALCULATED EARN-OUT").
On the Final Date, Mall II Buyer shall pay to Developer the positive difference,
if any, between the Recalculated Earn-Out less the Earn-Out Payment actually
made on the Earn-Out Date. If the Recalculated Earn-Out is less the Earn-Out
Payment, Developer shall pay to Mall II Buyer the amount of such difference. If,
despite good faith efforts by Developer and Mall II Buyer to arrive at an
appropriate amount of the Recalculated Earn-Out from Mall II Buyer to Developer
or from Developer to Mall II Buyer, there is a disagreement over the amount of
the Recalculated Earn-Out, Developer shall pay to Mall II Buyer the entire
undisputed portion of the Recalculated Earn-Out, if any, that the parties can
agree is due from Developer to Mall II Buyer, or Mall II Buyer shall pay to
Developer the entire undisputed portion of the Recalculated Earn-Out, if any,
that the parties can agree is due from Mall II Buyer to Developer, subject to
the following sentence. Upon resolution by Mall II Buyer and Developer (or by
the Independent Expert) of the disputed amount, the party determined to owe
money to the other shall pay to the other, as part of each such payment,
interest at the Interest Rate on the amount calculated pursuant to the preceding
sentence, to the extent unpaid, for the period from the Earn-Out Date to the
date on which such payment is made to the other party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Developer shall have no obligation to make any payments pursuant to
this Section 20.3 which would have the effect of reducing the net aggregate
amount received by Developer from Mall II Buyer pursuant to the Closing Payment,
all Adjustment Payments, the Earn-Out Payment and the Recalculated Earn-Out
(excluding amounts received that constitute interest on amounts not paid on the
date due) below two hundred and fifty million dollars ($250,000,000).
20.4 INDEPENDENT EXPERT. Any dispute in the calculation of the Closing
Payment, the Adjustment Payments, the Earn-Out Payment or the Recalculated
Earn-Out shall be resolved by an Independent Expert in accordance with Article 9
of this Agreement.
20.5 AUDITS. Developer or its designee shall have the right, from time
to time following the Closing, until 90 days after receipt by Developer of the
Recalculated Earn-Out, at the Developer's expense during business hours and on
reasonable prior notice to Mall II LLC, to examine and audit so much of the
books and records of Mall II Buyer or Mall II LLC as relate to the calculation
of the Closing Payment, any of the Interim Payment, the Earn-Out Payment or the
Recalculated Earn-Out to verify the operating income and operating expenses
reported by Mall II Owner or Mall II LLC (or any successor of Mall II LLC) in
connection with such payments.
55
ARTICLE 21
PRE-CLOSING REMEDIES
21.1 MALL II BUYER'S REMEDIES.
(a) If Developer has failed to achieve Substantial Completion by the
Outside Substantial Completion Date, Mall II Buyer's remedies shall be as set
forth in Section 7.1.
(b) If Substantial Completion has occurred, but any other condition to
Mall II Buyer's obligation to close under this Agreement as set forth in Section
10.1 has not been satisfied, then Mall II Buyer shall give notice to Developer
setting forth the conditions that have not been satisfied. Developer shall have
a reasonable period of time, not to exceed one hundred twenty days (and in no
event after the Outside Substantial Completion Date) to satisfy such conditions.
If (1) Developer shall fail to satisfy such conditions within such cure period,
(2) the conditions set forth in this Agreement to Developer's obligation to
close have been satisfied and (3) Mall II Buyer is not otherwise in default of
its obligations under this Agreement, then:
(i) Mall II Buyer shall be entitled to bring a Legal Proceeding for
specific performance of Developer's obligations under this Agreement, and, if
specific performance is available as a remedy to Mall II Buyer, it shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy for Developer's default. Mall II Buyer may recover
from Developer (which Developer shall pay upon demand) all Fees and Costs paid
or incurred by Mall II Buyer to secure specific performance under this
Agreement.
(ii) If Mall II Buyer is unable to obtain specific performance of
Developer's obligations under this Agreement, Mall II Buyer shall be entitled to
terminate this Agreement, in which event Developer shall pay to Mall II Buyer
upon demand the Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount as liquidated damages.
(iii) If Developer has breached this Agreement by constructing a project
on the Phase II Land and in the Leasehold Airspace that does not include a
substantial mall component or by selling either the Phase II Mall or the
Membership Interests to a third party. and Mall II Buyer is unable to obtain
specific performance of Developer's obligations under this Agreement, Mall II
Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and, at Mall II Buyer's
election, either (A) require Developer to pay to Mall II Buyer upon demand the
Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount as liquidated damages or (B) bring a Legal
Proceeding against Developer to recover Mall II Buyer's actual damages.
(c) In the event that Mall II Buyer exercises its remedy to receive
Buyer Liquidated Damages under Section 7.1 or Section 21.1(b)(iii) and Developer
shall, subsequent to the exercise of such remedy, achieve Substantial Completion
of the Mall Improvements or a substantial retail component on the Phase II Land
or in the Leasehold Airspace, Mall II Buyer shall have the right to consummate
the
56
purchase of the Membership Interests (if such improvements have been conveyed to
Mall II LLC) or the purchase of such improvements and the fee and leasehold
interests associated therewith (if such improvements have not been conveyed to
Mall II LLC) within thirty (30) days following notice from Developer to Mall II
Buyer that Substantial Completion has occurred on the terms of this Agreement.
If Mall II Buyer shall exercise such right, Mall II Buyer shall return the Buyer
Liquidated Damages Amount to Developer and shall not receive a credit for such
amounts against the purchase price for the Membership Interests. This provision
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
21.2 DEVELOPER'S REMEDIES. If all conditions to Mall II Buyer's
obligations to close under this Agreement are satisfied and Mall II Buyer shall
fail to close title hereunder and deliver the Closing Payment and the Closing
Instruments on the Closing Date, Developer may exercise any of the following
remedies:
(a) Developer shall be entitled to bring a Legal Proceeding for specific
performance of Mall II Buyer's obligations under this Agreement. Developer may
recover from Mall II Buyer (which Mall II Buyer shall pay upon demand) all Fees
and Costs paid or incurred by Developer to secure specific performance under
this Agreement; or
(b) As Mall II Buyer and Developer agree that it would be impracticable
and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual damages to Developer as a result
of the failure of Mall II Buyer to deliver the Closing Payment and the Closing
Instruments on the Closing Date and that a reasonable estimate of the damages
which Developer would incur as a result of such failure is the amount of one
hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) (the "DEVELOPER LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
AMOUNT"), Developer may terminate this Agreement, in which event upon
Developer's demand, Mall II Buyer shall pay to Developer the Developer
Liquidated Damages Amount as liquidated damages for Mall II Buyer's default; or
(c) As further provided in the Amended REA, Developer may terminate this
agreement and, within sixty (60) days after termination of this Agreement, elect
to purchase the limited liability company membership interests of Mall I LLC
owned by Mall I Buyer for a purchase price (the "MALL I CALL PRICE") equal to
(i) the LESSER of (y) the purchase price paid for the limited liability company
membership interests in Mall I LLC by Mall I Buyer pursuant to the Phase I Mall
Sale Agreement and (z) the fair market value of the limited liability company
membership interests in Mall I LLC as of the date that Developer has achieved
Substantial Completion less (ii) the Developer Liquidated Damages Amount; or
(d) If Developer exercises the remedy set forth in Section 21.2(c) above
and if the Mall I Call Price is less than the then-outstanding indebtedness
secured by the Phase I Mall or the interest in Mall I LLC, Developer may
purchase the limited liability company interests in Grand Canal Shops II LLC for
the amount of such indebtedness (whether by paying or assuming the same) and
bring a Legal Proceeding
57
against Mall II Buyer for the difference between the amount so paid or assumed
(including any costs incurred in connection therewith) and the Mall I Call
Price.
21.3 DEFAULT UNDER PHASE I MALL SALE AGREEMENT. In the event that the
transaction described in the Phase I Mall Sale Agreement is not consummated as
contemplated by such agreement, this Agreement shall automatically terminate. If
the transaction set forth in the Phase I Mall Sale Agreement is not consummated
due to a default by either Grand Canal Shops Mall MM Subsidiary, Inc. or Grand
Canal Shops Mall Subsidiary, LLC under the Phase I Mall Sale Agreement, upon
Mall II Buyer's demand, Developer shall pay to Mall II Buyer the Mall II Buyer
Liquidated Damages Amount as liquidated damages for the termination of this
Agreement. If the transaction set forth in the Phase I Mall Sale Agreement is
not consummated due to a default by Mall I Buyer under the Phase I Mall Sale
Agreement, upon Developer's demand, Mall II Buyer shall pay to Developer the
Developer Liquidated Damages Amount as liquidated damages for the termination of
this Agreement.
ARTICLE 22

obligations or other matters for which this Agreement provides specific and
exclusive remedies to a particular party (including, without limitation, Section

equity by reason of the other party's failure to keep or perform such other
party's agreements or obligations under this Agreement pertaining to the period

NOTES:
*Whenever any definite amount (subject to CPI Adjustment or any other
adjustment) is set forth on this chart as a payment for a certain category of
expenses, such amount (adjusted for CPI or as otherwise adjusted) shall be due
and payable by Mall I Owner to H/C I Owner without regard to the amount actually
incurred by H/C I Owner in respect of that category of expenses (and thus, no
Supporting Documentation pursuant to Section 3(e) of Article V shall be required
to be provided in connection therewith).
**All specified amounts in Schedule II shall be appropriately pro-rated for 2004
(except for purposes of calculating future CPI Adjustments).
***"CPI ADJUSTMENT," as used on this Schedule II, shall be
calculated as follows: Each specified dollar amount that is subject to CPI
Adjustment shall be adjusted as of the first day of each Accounting Period,
beginning with the 2005 Accounting Period, by multiplying such dollar amount (as
it may have previously been adjusted pursuant to this sentence) by the
percentage that is the sum of (x) one hundred percent (100%), plus (y) one
hundred percent (100%) of the CPI Increase (as defined in the following
sentence). "CPI INCREASE" shall mean the percentage increase or decrease, if
any, that has occurred in the CPI from the calendar month which is sixteen
months prior to the calendar month in which the applicable Accounting Period
begins to the calendar month which is four months prior to the calendar month in
which the applicable Accounting Period begins. (For example, if a CPI Adjustment
is being calculated for the Accounting Period that begins January 1, 2007, the
CPI Increase would be the percentage increase that has occurred in the CPI from
September, 2005 to September, 2006). As so adjusted, such amount will be
utilized until the next CPI Adjustment is calculated as of the first day of the
next Accounting Period. "CPI" means the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States
Department of Labor, U.S. City Average, All Items 1982-1984=100, or any
successor thereto appropriately adjusted. If the Consumer Price Index ceases to
be published, and there is no successor thereto, such other index as the parties
hereto reasonably agree upon (or, if they cannot so agree, such other index as
the Independent Expert shall determine in accordance with Article 9), as
appropriately adjusted, shall be substituted for the Consumer Price Index.
****Only applicable during the Sempra Term.

GAMING PROVISION FOR LEASES
"Tenant acknowledges that Landlord and the Lido Casino Resort,
LLC and their affiliates are businesses that are or may be subject to privileged
licenses issued by governmental authorities relating to casino gaming ("GAMING
AUTHORITIES"). If a corporation, Tenant shall disclose the names of all officers
and directors of Tenant, and unless a publicly traded corporation on a national
stock exchange, Tenant shall disclose to Landlord all ownership interests in
Tenant and all lenders or sources of financing. If requested to do so by
Landlord, Tenant shall obtain any license, qualification, clearance or the like
which shall be requested or required of Tenant by any Gaming Authority or any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over Landlord or any affiliate of
Landlord. If Tenant fails to satisfy such requirement or if Landlord or any
affiliate of Landlord is directed to cease business with Tenant by any such
authority, or if Landlord shall in good faith determine, in Landlord's
reasonable judgment, that Tenant, or any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, designees or representatives, or partner, owner, member, or shareholder,
or any lender or financial participant (a) is or might be engaged in, or is
about to be engaged in, any activity or activities, or (b) was or is involved in
any relationship, either of which could or does jeopardize Landlord's business,
reputation or such licenses, or those of its affiliates, or if any such license
is threatened to be, or is, denied, curtailed, suspended or revoked, then Tenant
shall immediately (i) terminate any relationship with the individual or entity
which is the source of the problem, or (ii) cease the activity creating the
problem. If Tenant does not comply with item (i) or (ii) above, then Landlord
(x) may require Tenant to specifically perform such obligation (the parties
recognizing that damages or other remedies would be inadequate under the
circumstances) or (y) may terminate this Lease without liability to either
party; provided, however, if any matter described herein is reasonably
susceptible to cure, Tenant shall have a reasonable time within which to effect
such cure (but in no event longer than the time available to fully comply with
any requirement imposed by any Gaming Authority or any other Requirement) and
Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease during such cure
period."
