Without limiting the foregoing, neither MGP OP nor the Company makes any representation or warranty to any Protected Party providing that the Parent Debt Guaranty will be respected for federal income tax purposes such that the Debt Financing is treated as a recourse liability for which MGM bears the economic risk of loss for purposes of Section 752 of the Code or as causing MGM to be considered “at risk” with respect to the Debt Financing for purposes of Section 465 of the Code.

(c)    Tax Audits.

(i)    If the Company or MGP OP receives any claim, demand, assessment or other assertion that could (i) result in recognition of Built-In Gain by, or allocation of Built-In Gain to, a Protected Party, (ii) impact the allocation of liabilities to MGP OP (through the MGP Member), or (ii) impact the tax treatment of the Transactions (a “Company Tax Audit”), the Company, shall provide notice to the Protected Party Representative and MGP REIT, and the Protected Party Representative shall have the right to participate in such Company Tax Audit with respect to such matters, and the Company, shall not settle the applicable portion of any such Company Tax Audit without the consent of the Protected Party Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that if and to the extent that the Company agrees in writing that the Protected Parties’ tax (including the amount of such tax) with respect to a matter is indemnified under Section 3 of this Agreement, the Protected Party Representative’s consent shall not be required to settle such matter.

(ii)    If any Protected Party receives any claim, demand, assessment or other assertion that could result in a tax liability giving rise to an indemnification obligation by the Company under Section 3(a) (a “Protected Party Tax Audit” or Company Tax Audit herein referred to as a “Tax Audit”), such Protected Party shall provide notice to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to participate in such claim, demand, assessment or other contest to the extent of the applicable portion that could result in an obligation of the Company under this Agreement, and such Protected Party shall not settle the applicable portion of any such claim, demand, assessment or other contest without the consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Tax Audit causes a change in the amount owed by the Company to any Protected Party pursuant to Section 3(a), then (i) if there is an increase in the amount owed by the Company to any

13

Protected Party, the Company shall pay to such Protected Party any incremental amount of damages resulting from such increase, or (ii) if there is a decrease in the amount owed by the Company to any Protected Party, such Protected Party shall pay to the Company any incremental decrease in the amount of damages previously paid to the Protected Party, in each case, as calculated pursuant to Section 3(a).

(d)    Change in Law. If, as a result of change in law or interpretation thereof, Built-In Gain or gain recognized pursuant to Code Section 731 would be recognized by any Protected Party absent a Breach, the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize the gain recognized by such Protected Party consistent with applicable law; provided that, the Company shall not be required to incur any unreimbursed costs or modify the economic arrangements of the parties and the Company shall have no obligation or liability to any Protected Party and/or its permitted successor-in-interest to the extent that the Company’s inability to comply with the provisions of this Agreement are attributable to such change in the tax laws or interpretation thereof.

(e)    Built-In Gain. On or before July 1, 2020, MGM shall provide to the Company (i) the Built-In Gain (and its relative allocation among (x) MGM and each of its Affiliates that are treated as a corporation or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is treated as directly holding an interest in MGP OP for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including through a chain of one or more disregarded entities) and (y) land, buildings and personal property, which shall be used by the Parties for tax reporting purposes) attributable to the Protected Properties, (ii) supporting documentation with respect thereto.

Section 5.    Company Tax Covenants.

(a)    Prohibited Actions. At all times on or after the Effective Date, the Company agrees for the benefit of the Protected Parties that it shall not take (and shall not permit to be taken) any action that results in a breach of the covenants in Section 9.6.5 of the LLC Agreement as it is reflected on the Effective Date.

(b)    Remedies. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 3(b) shall not apply to a breach of Section 5(a), and the Protected Parties shall be entitled to all remedies available in law or equity.

Section 6.    Transfers.

(a)    Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) neither the Company nor MGP OP shall assign its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Protected Party Representative and (ii) no Protected Party may assign its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Company.

(b)    The Protected Party Representative. For the purposes of Sections 2(e), 3(d), 3(e), 4(c) and 6(a) of this Agreement, the Protected Parties shall be represented by a representative (the “Protected Party Representative”), which shall be authorized to act on behalf of all Protected Parties as set forth in this Agreement. Initially the Protected Party Representative shall be MGM. Upon a transfer by MGM (or any of its Subsidiaries treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal

14

income tax purposes) of 100% of its interest in MGP OP to a Person that causes such Person to be treated as a Protected Party pursuant to the definition of Protected Party, MGM may designate such Person as a successor Protected Party Representative hereunder; provided, however, that (i) such Person is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and (ii) MGM shall not be replaced by such Person as Protected Party Representative unless such Person agrees in writing to assume the obligations of the Protected Party Representative under this Agreement.

(a)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings between the Parties in respect of the subject matter hereof.

(b)    Amendment. Any modification, waiver, amendment or termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof, shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the Parties.

(f)    Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (a) arising under this Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or the Transactions, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. Each Party hereby further agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the Parties may file a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

(g)    Jurisdiction and Venue. Each Party (a) submits to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”) and any state appellate court therefrom located within the State of Delaware (or, only if the Chancery Court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and (c) agrees

15

not to bring any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each Party waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each Party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any proceeding may be made on such Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address of the Party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 7(i). Nothing in this Section 7(g), however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. Each Party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.
