2.2 Other Operations of Manager.

2.2.1 Operation of Other Managed Resorts. Tenant acknowledges that it has selected Manager to Operate the Manager Operated Areas on behalf of Tenant in substantial part because of Manager’s, and Affiliates of Manager’s, management and operation of a chain of first-class hotels and resorts. Tenant further acknowledges that it has determined, on an overall basis, that the benefits of (a) utilizing Manager’s and its Affiliates’ expertise, especially in the [ ] market; and (b) having the Resort operated as part of the Managed Resorts are substantial, notwithstanding that all hotels owned, Operated and/or managed by Manager might not benefit equally. Tenant acknowledges that Manager and/or its Affiliates presently own and manage various hotel and casino properties around the world including those located within the State of Nevada and in Las Vegas or Xxxxx County (i.e., [Caesars Palace, Xxxxxx’x Las Vegas, Xxxxxx’x Xxxxxxxx, Flamingo Las Vegas, Rio Las Vegas, Paris Las Vegas, Bally’s Las Vegas, Bill’s Xxxxxxx’ Hall and Saloon, Planet Hollywood and Imperial Palace]) and in Xxxxxxxx Xxxx,

Xxx Xxxxxx (i.e., [Xxxxxx’x Atlantic City, Showboat Atlantic City, Bally’s Atlantic City and Caesars Atlantic City]), which may directly or indirectly compete with the business of the Hotel. Tenant further acknowledges that in certain respects all hotels and casinos compete on a national, regional and local basis with other hotels and casinos, and that conflicts may, from time to time, arise between the Hotel and the Casino and/or the Resort and the Other Managed Resorts. Accordingly, provided that Manager is at all times operating the Resort in compliance with the Operating Standard, Tenant shall have no right to object to and hereby waives any conflict in the ownership and Operation by Manager or its Affiliates of any and all Other Managed Resorts (including the Other Managed Resorts). In furtherance of the foregoing, Manager shall have no obligation to minimize conflict between the Resort and the Other Managed Resorts but intends to proceed, in its Operation of the Manager Operated Areas and in the operation and management of the Other Managed Resorts, in a good faith manner and in a manner reasonably deemed to serve the overall best interests, on a long term basis, of the Managed Resorts as a group. The Parties agree that this Section 2.2 shall constitute the entirety of Manager’s obligations with respect to any such potential conflicts of interest regarding competition between the Hotel and the Casino and/or the Resort and the Other Managed Resorts.

2.2.2 Placement Rights. Subject to the Property-Specific License Agreement and that certain license agreement by and between Landlord and HLC for the right for HLC to use certain intellectual property specific to the Resort, Manager and its Affiliates shall have the right to include the Resort in marketing programs (including any marketing program included as part of Centralized Services and any specific marketing program for the Resort) carried out in conjunction with the Other Managed Resorts and, as more specifically described in Section 2.1.2 above, promote and/or advertise its Other Managed Resorts at the Resort including, without limitation, using any “Xxxxxx’x” trade name or any Trademarks licensed pursuant to the System License Agreement. Manager shall request, pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement, that HOC advertise the Resort in a manner which is not materially different than with respect to the hotels/casinos comprising the Other Managed Resorts in [ ].

ARTICLE III.

(h) all other expenditures which are authorized, permitted or required under the provisions of this Agreement which have been paid or funded by Manager on Tenant’s behalf.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) to the extent that any Operating Personnel Costs or other cost or expense reimbursable to Manager or its Affiliates are not incurred solely for the benefit of the Resort, only the prorated portion thereof appropriately allocable to the Resort shall be charged to Tenant and (ii) any reimbursable costs shall be charged to Tenant without xxxx-up or premium of any kind or nature.

Manager may pay such fees and other amounts owed to Manager or its Affiliates directly from the Operating Account and if sufficient funds are not then available in the Operating Account Tenant will promptly provide sufficient funds therefor upon the request of Manager. In addition, Manager may require that any such payments be effected through electronic debit/credit transfer of funds programs specified by Manager from time to time, and Tenant agrees to execute such documents (including independent transfer authorizations), pay such fees and costs and do such things as Manager reasonably deems necessary to effect such transfers of funds.

3.6 Application of Payments. All payments by Tenant, or Manager on behalf of Tenant, pursuant to this Agreement and all related agreements shall be applied as designated by Manager.

3.7 Taxes. Without duplication, Tenant shall pay to Manager an amount equal to any Gaming, sales, use, gross receipts, value added, LET, excise or similar tax assessed against Manager by any Governmental Authority that is calculated on Reimbursable Expenses or Shared Services Charges required to be paid by Tenant under this Agreement (but not, for avoidance of doubt, the Operating Fees), other than income or franchise taxes assessed against Manager.

ARTICLE IV.

SHARED SERVICES

4.1 Shared Services. Tenant acknowledges that (a) certain shared (including centralized) services, including Services and Centralized Services (both as defined in the Shared Services Agreement) (the “Shared Services”) are provided or made available to a majority of the Other Managed Resorts, including the Other CMBS Entities; (b) the Shared Services are an essential element in maintaining uniformity in the Operation of the Other Managed Resorts, as applicable; and (c) such Shared Services are being provided to Manager (and the Other CMBS Entities) by HOC for the benefit, in the case of Manager only, of the Resort pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement. Manager intends to provide the Shared Services (provided by HOC to Manager pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement) to the Resort in a first-class manner which is not materially less favorable than those provided to the Other Managed Resorts in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Any Shared Services to be provided under this Agreement or the Shared Services Agreement may be provided by Manager, HOC or an Affiliate of either of them, or at locations other than the Manager Operated Areas, or by a third party designated by Manager, HOC or an Affiliate of either of them (the “Third-Party Centralized Services”). Tenant and Manager acknowledge and agree that the Manager Operated Areas shall participate in all Shared Services as determined by Manager, and Tenant shall pay all Shared Services Charges for, and comply with all terms and requirements of, such Shared Services in accordance with the provisions of the Shared Services Agreement.

4.2 Shared Services Charges.

4.2.1 Calculation of Shared Services Charges. The amounts charged to the Manager Operated Areas for the Shared Services (the “Shared Services Charges”) shall be (i) the amounts charged by HOC to Manager pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement and (ii) the actual amounts, if any, charged to Manager for any Third-Party Centralized Services.

4.2.2 Allocation of Costs. Tenant acknowledges that from time to time there might be a current surplus or current deficit of funds for any one (1) or more Shared Services, and that any retention of funds for use at a later date (including interest earned thereon) shall not constitute a profit. Tenant acknowledges that the charges for Third-Party Centralized Services may include a profit component to such third party.

4.2.3 Right to Pay Third-Party Providers. Manager shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay (directly or through an Affiliate) any amounts due to a third party for any Third-Party Centralized Services provided to the Manager Operated Areas, in which case, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such amounts shall be deemed to be Reimbursable Expenses for all purposes under this Agreement.

4.3 Modification of Shared Services. Tenant acknowledges that the Shared Services are an integral part of Manager’s and its Affiliates’ operation of the Other Managed Resorts, including the Other CMBS Entities, and Manager and its Affiliates need the flexibility to modify

the Shared Services to respond to market trends, customer demands, economic conditions, technological advances and other factors affecting the operation of Other Managed Resorts, including the Other CMBS Entities, as they may change from time to time. Accordingly, Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that the Shared Services may be modified from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Shared Services Agreement.

ARTICLE V.

5.1.1 Required Maintenance and Repair and Capital Improvements. Without limiting any right of Manager hereunder, Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall have the authority to perform all ordinary maintenance and repair and all such Routine Capital Improvements and Building Capital Improvements (a) as Manager determines are necessary or advisable to keep the Manager Operated Areas in material compliance with the Operating Standard; and (b) as Manager determines are necessary or advisable to comply with, and cure or prevent the violation of, any Applicable Laws; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.1, from and after the Transition Period Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) Manager will no longer have the authority to perform any Capital Improvement of any kind, including ROI Capital Improvements described in Section 5.1.2, Building Capital Improvements and Routine Capital Improvements, in each case without the prior approval of Landlord (with the consent of Mortgagee) or Mortgagee unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

5.1.2 ROI Capital Improvements. Without limiting any right of Manager hereunder, Manager, at Tenant’s expense, shall have the authority to perform all ROI Capital Improvements, subject to Section 5.1.1. Tenant shall not make any ROI Capital Improvements or other capital improvements, without the prior written consent of Manager in each instance, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If, at any time during the Term, Manager determines that any capital improvement within the Resort does not, or when constructed will not, comply in all material respects with System Standards, Manager shall be entitled (but not obligated) to provide notice of such determination to Tenant (a “System Standards Deficiency Notice”). Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of any System Standards Deficiency Notice, Tenant shall respond in detail to such allegation. In furtherance of the foregoing:

(a) Tenant represents and warrants to Manager that the Resort, as of the Effective Date, will meet the Physical Standards and that the Resort complies with the Physical Standards as required thereunder. With respect to the Operating Standards, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Manager and its Affiliates have the exclusive rights to modify the Operating Standards, from time to time, in Manager’s and its Affiliates’ sole discretion; provided that any such modification (i) does not reduce the Operating Standard of the Resort to a standard of quality that is lower than the Operating Standard in effect as of the date hereof and (ii) otherwise complies with Tenant’s obligations under the Operating Leases; and

(b) in the event of any change in Operating Standards or the Physical Standards which would necessitate any Routine Capital Improvement or ROI Capital Improvement, Manager shall provide Tenant with a written description of any material changes to the respective System Standards and, if available at such time, the estimated cost of such changes, and Tenant shall be obligated to fund any modifications, upgrades, replacement or introduction of computers (i.e., hardware and software), telecommunications and technology systems that are required for the Managed Resorts to interface with Manager and the Other Managed Resorts (e.g., hardware and software needed for the operation of Manager’s reservations systems) in accordance with the policies or programs implemented by Manager for such items (including, without limitation, with respect to the timing of such implementation).

5.1.3 Compensation to Manager. In the event that Manager agrees to perform all supervisory services necessary to carry out ROI Capital Improvements (e.g., replacement of roof, driveways, elevators, HVAC, or that require other structural changes or alterations to the Resort, etc.), Manager shall be paid a market supervisory fee in connection therewith in an amount to be mutually agreed upon between Tenant and Manager, and Manager shall have the authority to complete such ROI Capital Improvements. In the event Manager elects to have a third party perform or supervise such ROI Improvements, such third party shall be selected by Manager.

5.1.4 Remediation of Design or Construction Defect. If the design or construction of the Manager Operated Areas is defective, and the defective condition presents a risk of injury to persons or damage to the Manager Operated Areas or other property, or results in non-compliance with the System Standards or Applicable Law, then Manager shall have the authority to perform all work necessary to remedy such design or construction defect in the Manager Operated Areas. Tenant acknowledges that such work shall be performed at Tenant’s expense.

5.2 Operating Personnel.

5.2.1 General. Manager shall, in its sole discretion, be responsible for directing the hiring, discharging, promoting, supervising, training and compensating of the Executive Personnel and the Operating Personnel.

5.2.2 Tenant as Employer. All Operating Personnel shall be employees of Tenant. All Operating Personnel Costs shall be paid on behalf of Tenant by Manager, and shall be Operating Expenses paid to Manager by Tenant out of the Payroll Account(s) or, if advanced by Manager (which Manager shall have no obligation to do), then the advancement of funds by Manager shall be treated as a reimbursable expense as set forth in Section 3.2.

5.2.3 Labor Relations. Manager is hereby delegated with responsibility on Tenant’s behalf to negotiate with any labor unions representing the Operating Personnel. Any collective bargaining agreement or labor contract resulting therefrom shall be executed by Tenant as the employer of the Operating Personnel. In addition, it is understood that Manager shall have the right to appoint labor counsel for any such labor negotiations.

5.2.4 Manager Personnel. Provided that Manager is Operating the Resort in accordance with the Operating Standard and is otherwise in compliance in all material respects with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Manager shall have the right to allocate

the services and time of any Operating Personnel between the Manager Operated Areas and (a) Other Managed Resorts, and/or (b) the local, regional or central office(s) of Manager, its Parent Company and their respective Affiliates. In addition, Manager may assign its (or its Affiliates’) employees from Other Managed Resorts or from its corporate offices to the Resort.

5.2.5 Benefit Plans.

(a) Manager shall have the right (but shall not be required) to provide eligible Operating Personnel who are not covered by collective bargaining or similar arrangements with benefits of: (i) incentive plans; (ii) pension, profit sharing or other employee retirement plans; and (iii) disability, health, welfare or other benefit plans now or hereafter applicable to employees of Other Managed Resorts. Manager shall charge the Resort with the Resort’s pro rata share of the costs and expenses of such plans allocated to the Resort equitably and otherwise on the same basis as allocated to participating Other Managed Resorts.

(b) Manager may (but shall not be required to) provide benefits and allow participation in such plans on whatever modified basis as it may determine appropriate under the circumstances and may waive any waiting period or any preconditions to coverage or participation otherwise applicable to such employees. No statement, promise, representation or warranty regarding the terms of such plans or the participation or coverage of employees shall be enforceable, binding or effective in any way unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Manager.

5.2.6 Corporate Personnel. Tenant shall reimburse Manager or its Affiliates for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including travel, lodging, food and beverage consumption) incurred by any Corporate Personnel in accordance with the Corporate Travel Policy who travel to the Manager Operated Areas to perform technical assistance or other services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and/or at the request of Manager.

5.2.7 Whenever applicable in this Section 5.2, costs and expenses will apply only to the prorated portion thereof as are appropriately allocable to the Operation of the Resort in accordance with this Agreement, the Operating Leases and the Shared Services Agreement.

5.3 Bank Accounts.

5.3.1 Authority over Bank Accounts. Subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Operating Leases and the CMBS Financing Documents, Manager shall have operational authority (including signatory authority) over Tenant’s existing bank accounts (the “Bank Accounts”), which Bank Accounts shall be in the name of Tenant, doing business as “[ ]”, shall be owned by Tenant and shall use the taxpayer identification number of Tenant. Tenant shall take such actions necessary to establish such authority. The Bank Accounts may include:

(a) one (1) or more accounts for the purposes of collecting all funds received in the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas (collectively, the “Operating Account”); and

(b) one (1) or more accounts into which amounts sufficient to cover all Operating Personnel Costs shall be deposited from time to time by Manager (by transfer of funds from the Operating Account) or Tenant (if sufficient funds are not then available in the Operating Account) (collectively, the “Payroll Account”).

5.3.2 Authorized Signatories. Subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Operating Leases and the CMBS Financing Documents, Manager’s designees shall be the only Persons authorized to draw funds from the Bank Accounts, and Manager shall be entitled to make deposits in all of the Bank Accounts in accordance with this Agreement and Manager’s standard accounting policies and practices for substantially all of the Other Managed Resorts.

5.3.3 Liability for Loss in Bank Accounts. Tenant shall bear all losses suffered in any of the Bank Accounts, or in any investment of funds into any such Bank Account, and Manager shall have no liability or responsibility for such losses.

5.3.4 Disbursement of Funds from Tenant. Subject in all respects to the terms and conditions set forth in the CMBS Financing Documents and the Operating Leases, Manager shall have, and Tenant shall cause Manager to have, authority to access and direct all funds then on deposit in the Collection Account and/or the Cash Management Account (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) (which may constitute “Operating Accounts” hereunder). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the CMBS Financing Documents, Manager shall have the authority to cause the disbursement of funds on deposit in the Operating Account in connection with Manager’s management and operation of the Resort as set forth herein.

5.4 Purchasing. Manager or its Affiliates may, in its discretion, make centralized purchasing programs available to the Managed Resorts (whether on a national, regional, mandatory, optional or other basis) (each, a “Purchasing Program”). Manager shall make its Purchasing Program available to the Resort on terms not materially different that those offered to Other Managed Resorts (including the Other CMBS Entities) in Nevada or New Jersey. Manager may elect, in its discretion, but subject to the terms of this Section 5.4, to purchase any FF&E and Supplies for the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas from a Purchasing Program maintained by Manager or its Affiliates, provided that Manager shall use reasonable efforts to ensure the total cost of goods and services (including any xxxx-up, expense, fees and/or other remuneration attributable to providing such services and net of any discounts or rebates which would have been available) determined as a whole and on an annual basis is generally on terms no less favorable to Tenant than that which would be available through unrelated third-party vendors in an arm’s-length transaction. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Manager and its Affiliates shall have the right, from time to time, to (a) modify the fees, costs or terms of any such Purchasing Program, including adding FF&E and Supplies to, and deleting FF&E and Supplies from, such Purchasing Program; (b) terminate all or any portion of any such Purchasing Program; (c) subject to this Section 5.4, receive payments, fees, commissions or reimbursements from suppliers and third parties in respect of such purchases; and (d) subject to this Section 5.4, own or have investments in such suppliers.

5.6 Use of Affiliates by Manager. In performing its obligations under this Agreement, Manager from time to time may use the services of one (1) or more of its Affiliates. If an Affiliate of Manager performs any of the services Manager is required to provide under this Agreement, Manager shall be ultimately responsible to Tenant for its Affiliate’s performance.

5.7 Limitation on Manager’s Obligations.

5.7.1 Availability of Sufficient Funds. Manager’s obligations under this Agreement are subject in all respects to the availability of sufficient funds from the Operation of the Manager Operated Areas, or which are otherwise provided by Tenant. All costs and expenses of Operating the Manager Operated Areas shall be payable out of funds from the Operating Accounts, or which are otherwise provided by Tenant. In no event shall Manager be obligated to pledge or use its own credit or advance any of its own funds to pay any such costs or expenses for the Manager Operated Areas. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Manager shall be relieved from its obligations to Operate the Manager Operated Areas in compliance with the Operating Standard and in accordance with this Agreement whenever and to the extent that Manager is prevented or restricted in any way from doing so by reason of (a) the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event; (b) Tenant’s breach of its obligation to provide sufficient funds as required under this Agreement following any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure under the Mortgage; or (c) any limitation or restriction in this Agreement on Manager’s authority or ability to expend funds in respect of the Manager Operated Areas, but solely to the extent such limitation or restriction prevents Manager from performing its obligations hereunder.

5.7.2 Pre-Existing Conditions and External Events. If any environmental, construction, personnel, real property-related or other problems arise at the Manager Operated Areas during the Term that (a) relate to the Operation or condition of the Manager Operated Areas, or activities undertaken at the Manager Operated Areas or on the Land, prior to the Effective Date; or (b) are caused by or arise from sources outside of the Manager Operated Areas, Manager’s services under this Agreement shall not extend to management of any remediation, abatement or other correction of such problems, and Tenant shall retain full managerial and financial responsibility and liability for and control over the remediation, abatement and correction of such problems, and shall take such actions in a timely manner with as little disturbance or interruption of the use and Operation of the Manager Operated Areas as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such problems exist, Manager may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to undertake reasonable remediation, abatement and correction efforts; provided, however, if there is a reasonable likelihood that such

problems could cause criminal or civil liability to Manager or damage to the Manager Operated Areas or injury to persons or property and regardless of whether or not Tenant has requested Manager to take any such curative actions, Manager shall have the right to take all reasonably necessary steps to comply with any Applicable Law, or to avoid criminal or civil liability to Manager, or damage to the Manager Operated Areas or injury to Persons or property; provided, further, that any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Manager in connection therewith shall be paid or reimbursed promptly by Tenant.

5.9 Resort Guest Data and Employee Data. Tenant hereby represents, warrants and covenants that through the date hereof it has at all times collected, stored, transmitted, processed and maintained in all material respects all Resort Guest Data and Employee Data in accordance with all Applicable Laws and all privacy policies in place from time to time in connection with the Operation of the Resort and the other Properties. Tenant hereby represents, warrants and covenants that through the date hereof it has at all times collected, stored, transmitted, processed and maintained in all material respects all Resort Guest Data and Employee Data in a manner that would permit Manager and/or Tenant to transfer such Resort Guest Data and Employee Data subject to and in accordance with Section 13.4.4 of this Agreement. Each of Tenant and Manager hereby represents, warrants and covenants that at all times during the term of this Agreement it shall collect, store, transmit, process and maintain in all material respects all Resort Guest Data and Employee Data in accordance with all Applicable Laws and all privacy policies in place from time to time in connection with the Operation of the Resort. Each of Tenant and Manager hereby represents, warrants and covenants that at all times during the term of this Agreement it shall collect, store, transmit, process and maintain in all material respects all Resort Guest Data and Employee Data in a manner that would permit Manager and/or Tenant to transfer such Resort Guest Data and Employee Data subject to and in accordance with Section 13.4.4 of this Agreement. Each of Tenant and Manager agrees and acknowledges that the privacy policies applicable to the Resort Guest Data and Employee Data may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise changed in a manner that would expressly prohibit Manager and/or Tenant from transferring such Resort Guest Data and Employee Data to Landlord or Landlord’s designee in accordance with Section 13.4.4 of this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender.

Tenant or Manager shall pay, on demand, the other Party’s and Mortgagee’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection with their consideration of whether to grant any such consent to an Assignment (but no fee in excess of $750 shall be charged in connection therewith except as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement).

8.5 Effect of Permitted Transfer. Consent to any particular Transfer shall not be deemed to be consent to any other Transfer or a waiver of the requirement that consent be obtained in the case of any other Transfer. Upon any Transfer by Tenant or Manager permitted under this ARTICLE VIII or consented to by the other Party, the transferor shall be relieved of all liabilities and obligations under this Agreement accruing from and after the effective date of such Transfer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3, the Parties shall look first to the appropriate insurance coverages in effect pursuant to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Agreement prior to seeking indemnification under this Section 9.3 in the event any claim or liability occurs as a result of injury to persons or damage to property, regardless of the cause of such claim or liability; provided, however, if the insurance company denies coverage or reserves rights as to coverage, then the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to seek indemnification, without first looking to such insurance coverage. In addition, nothing contained in this Section 9.3 shall in any way affect the releases set forth in Section 9.2.1.

9.3.4 Indemnification Procedures. Any Indemnified Party shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, to the timely appointment of counsel by the Indemnifying Party for the defense of any Claim, which counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party. If, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, a material conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party at any time during the defense of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may appoint independent counsel of its choice for the defense of the Indemnified Party as to such Claim. In addition, regardless of whether the Indemnified Party has appointed counsel or selects independent counsel (a) the

Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Claim and approve any proposed settlement of such Claim (unless such settlement involves only the payment of money, the Indemnifying Party pays all amounts due in connection with or by reason of such settlement and, as part thereof, the Indemnified Party is unconditionally released from all liability in respect of such Claim, in which case such approval shall not be required); and (b) all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to timely pay such costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs), the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such amounts and be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for the same, together with interest thereon in accordance with Section 3.5 until paid in full. The Parties hereby acknowledge that it shall not be a defense to a demand for indemnity that less than all Claims asserted against the Indemnified Party are subject to indemnification. If a Claim is covered by the Indemnifying Party’s liability insurance, the Indemnified Party shall not knowingly take or omit to take any action that would cause the insurer not to defend such Claim or to disclaim liability in respect thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to create a benefit for a third party except for Mortgagee, Lenders, and for other Indemnified Parties.

9.3.5 Survival. This Section 9.3 shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
