(L) Licensee May Not Withhold Payments Due to Licensor. Licensee agrees that it will not withhold payment of any amounts owed to Licensor on the grounds of Licensor’s alleged nonperformance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or for any other reason, and Licensee specifically waives any right it has at Law or in equity to offset any funds Licensee may owe Licensor or to fail or refuse to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement. Licensee may preserve any rights it has to assert non-performance by Licensor by paying Fees “under protest”, and if Licensee has secured a final non-appealable judgment under this Agreement or arbitral award referred to in Section 19(B)(1) that has not been paid within thirty (30) days of entry thereof, Licensee may offset any sums due hereunder against such obligation.

5. DEVELOPMENT/OPERATION OF HOTEL

(A) Licensee Responsible for Development.

(1) Licensee shall acquire (either in freehold or by leasehold estate under a Lease) and develop the Licensed Location and the Hotel, and shall, with all reasonable diligence, construct, complete, furnish and equip the Hotel which shall in no event be of a lesser quality than as set forth in the Hotel System, the Manuals and the Comprehensive Project Design (as defined below). Attached as Exhibit E is a description of Conceptual Design Drawings for the Hotel which have been agreed to by Licensee and Licensor as of the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Conceptual Design Drawings”) as describing the overall programmatic design for the Hotel. The Conceptual Design Drawings identify the overall scope and scale of the project, but do not reflect a comprehensive project design, which shall be prepared by Licensee during the design phases for the Hotel in accordance with all of the Conceptual Design Drawings and the requirements of this Agreement and the Hotel System (the “Comprehensive Project Design”). Licensee and Licensor, acting reasonably and without delay, shall mutually agree upon the Conceptual Design Package and Schematic Design phases of Comprehensive Project Design. Thereafter, Licensor shall have the right to approve the Design Development and Construction Documents, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensor shall have the right to approve in its sole discretion any part of the Comprehensive Project Design that relates to the Approval Items described in Exhibit E. To the extent not specified in the Comprehensive Project Design required by the Hotel System or subject to Licensor’s rights under this Agreement, including Section 12(J) and Approval Items set forth in Exhibit E, Licensee shall consult with Licensor in relation to the design and development of the designs and themes to be included in the Hotel for Guest Rooms and Concepts.

The number of Guest Rooms within the Hotel for lodging shall not be less than Three Hundred Twenty (320) nor more than Seven Hundred Fifty (750), without Licensor’s prior written consent, in its sole discretion. The Comprehensive Project Design for the Hotel, and the Hotel as finally constructed, shall include a Hard Rock Hotel Retail Store and a Hard Rock Café conforming to standards prescribed by Licensor, which retail store and café shall be leased to Licensor’s designee (which may be an Affiliate or a licensee) pursuant to the Retail Lease Agreement and the Café Lease Agreement. Licensor shall have no obligation to act as the lessee under the Retail Lease Agreement or the Café Lease Agreement or to secure or provide such lessees; and in the event that such leases have not been executed on or before December 31, 2007 so that the leased spaces can be constructed in a timely fashion to be ready for business on the Opening Date, Licensor shall offer to Licensee the opportunity to obtain a license to operate a Hard Rock Café and/or a Hard Rock Hotel Retail Store in the Hotel pursuant to Licensor’s standard form of license agreement for each such type of facility upon then prevailing market rates.

(3) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Licensor shall have full discretionary approval rights, in its sole discretion, over all aspects of the development of the Hotel which involve Hard Rock Elements to the extent not covered by the Hotel System or Manuals.

(B) Site Review and Approval Rights. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the selection of a site for the Hotel or the failure of Licensor to object to a site, does not constitute an assurance, representation or warranty by Licensor of any kind, express or implied, as to the suitability (commercially or otherwise) of the site for the Hotel or for any other purpose. Both Licensor and Licensee acknowledge that application of criteria that may have been effective with respect to any other site and premises may not be predictive of commercial or other potential for all sites and that, subsequent to the selection of a site, demographic and/or economic factors, such as competition from other similar businesses, could change, thereby altering the potential of the site. Such factors are unpredictable and are beyond Licensor’s control, and Licensor shall not be responsible for the failure of a site approved by Licensor to meet expectations as to revenue, income or operational criteria. Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that acceptance of a site of a Hard Rock Hotel is based on its own independent investigation of the suitability of the site.

(1) Licensee hereby acknowledges and agrees that Licensor has not made any agreements or commitments of any kind, whether express or implied, to Licensee that Licensor or any of its Affiliates will provide a completion guaranty or any other financial assistance to Licensee in connection with its financing of the Hotel.

(2) (a) Licensee shall have the right to encumber, pledge, grant, or convey its rights, title and interest in and to its interests in this Agreement by way of a security agreement, a pledge and/or collateral assignment (collectively, a “Pledge”) to secure the payment of any loan or loans obtained by Licensee to finance or refinance the Hotel (such loan or loans may include financing for other developments on the City of Dreams Land). The beneficiary of a Pledge, such as the security trustee or a secured party of a security agreement, is referred to herein as a “Secured Party.” Pursuant to any such agreements, no Fees or any payments due to Licensor or its Affiliates shall be subordinated to any Pledge or right of the Secured Party, and Licensor shall not be obligated to forbear from pursuing its remedies hereunder or waive, suspend or modify its rights hereunder.

(b) Licensor agrees with Licensee that Licensor shall, at the request of Licensee or a Secured Party made from time to time and at any time, enter into a lender’s rights agreement with any Secured Party identified by Licensee, which lender’s rights agreement shall be consistent with the terms and provisions contained in this Section that apply to the Secured Parties and Pledges and shall be in a form mutually and reasonably acceptable to Licensor and such Secured Party.

In the event of such enforcement described in

the foregoing sentence, the Secured Party (or its Affiliate) shall have the option to assume this Agreement on the condition that the Secured Party pays Licensor all accrued but unpaid Fees. In the event that a Secured Party (or an Affiliate of a Secured Party) obtains title to the Hotel, such Secured Party (or its Affiliate) shall have the right to transfer title to the Hotel and the Licensee’s interest in this Agreement without the need to request or obtain the Licensor’s consent; provided that such transferee is not a Competitor or an Affiliate of a Competitor and has the necessary experience, expertise and capacity to be licensed as is necessary to own the Hotel as a first class hotel; such transferee, or its Affiliates, parent or sponsor, has a net worth of at least Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00), all accrued and unpaid Fees are brought current and such transferee assumes this Agreement.

Licensor shall be entitled to enter upon the Hotel to accomplish such removal, and this right shall survive termination of this Agreement.

The Restaurant shall (i) be consistent with the Management Standard, (ii) located on a different floor than the Hard Rock Café, (iii) operate three hundred sixty-five (365) days per year, (iv) have its menu approved by Licensor (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to insure minimal duplication with the menu of the Hard Rock Café, (v) provide breakfast service, and (vi) in addition to the provision of table food service, provide room service and banquet service for the Hotel (collectively, the “Restaurant Requirements”). In addition, Licensor shall have the right to approve the name of the Restaurant and the design, theme and specifications of the Restaurant. In the event the Restaurant is operated by a third party restaurant operator, Licensor shall have the right to approve the lease or restaurant management agreement between Licensee and the third party manager (the “Restaurant Management Agreement”) which shall contain the Restaurant Requirements and other terms reasonably satisfactory to Licensor giving consideration to the Management Standard.

The terms and conditions of the Bar Management Agreement must be reasonably satisfactory to

Licensor giving consideration to the Management Standard. Licensee agrees to submit to Licensor any modifications to the Bar, including any modifications to the Bar Management Agreement, that may affect the Hotel operations or the quality or theme of the Bar for Licensor’s prior written approval.

(1) advice in formulating or refining the Concepts for the Hotel, the preliminary plans and specifications for the construction of the Hotel and all related Hotel facilities, including landscaping, and in formulating or refining preliminary layouts, drawings, and designs for the interior of the Hotel and the furnishing and equipping thereof, and, in connection therewith, Licensor may recommend to Licensee layouts and other criteria and specifications for the facilities to be included in the Hotel;

(2) advice as to architects, contractors, engineers, designers, decorators, landscape architects, and such other specialists and consultants as shall be necessary for completing the Hotel, provided, however, that Licensee shall not be obligated to utilize any such Person recommended by Licensor, and Licensor shall have no liability or responsibility for any act or omission of any such Person utilized by Licensee; and

(3) advice in preparing budgets for the initial purchase of FF&E for the Hotel.

It is the intention of the parties hereto that responsibility for implementation of each of the foregoing items is upon Licensee, but that Licensor shall remain available to assist Licensee in such implementation. In addition to payment of the Technical Services Fee, prior to the beginning of each calendar quarter, Licensor and Licensee shall mutually agree upon a budget (the “Budget”) for Licensor’s anticipated actual costs incurred by Licensor, including, without limitation, travel, accommodations and other reasonable expenses incurred by Licensor in providing Technical Services (but not salaries or overhead), to be reimbursed by Licensee within thirty (30) days following invoice therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensor and Licensee agree that the Budget for such costs for both the Hotel and the Casino through February 2009 is set forth on Exhibit G-2. To the extent that the aggregate of the actual costs anticipated by Licensor will exceed the Budget, Licensor shall obtain Licensee’s prior approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed in order for such amounts to be reimbursed by Licensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensor has provided certain Technical Services prior to the date hereof. In connection therewith, Licensee agrees to reimburse Licensor for costs incurred by Licensor during the period commencing September 1, 2006 ending the date of this Agreement in connection with Technical Services provided by Licensor prior to the date hereof in respect of both the Hotel and the Casino, as set forth in Exhibit G-1.

Licensor, where practical and in its sole discretion, shall make available to Licensee, Licensor’s facilities for the purchase of required FF&E, and other necessary items, and may recommend to Licensee a firm or firms from which such items may be purchased. Any such purchase through Licensor’s facilities shall be subject to such ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇-ups or other charges as to which Licensor and Licensee may mutually agree in each instance. Any such purchase through sources recommended by Licensor shall include an acknowledgment, in form acceptable to Licensor, specifying that the seller is not contracting with Licensor, and that Licensor is not responsible for any payment or performance by Licensee. Licensee shall not be obligated to purchase such items from the firms or sources recommended by Licensor; provided, however, that, prior to purchasing from nonrecommended sources, Licensee shall submit to Licensor such samples and/or other information with respect to the proposed purchase as shall be necessary to assure Licensor that the quality, design, and safety of such items, together with their compliance with applicable Law, is to the extent reasonably practicable at least equal to that available from sources recommended by Licensor, and that the design, appearance, and all other aspects thereof conform to the requirements of this Agreement.

(I) Licensor May Delegate Duties. In rendering the Technical Services, Licensor shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to be assisted by third Persons, and, accordingly, some or all of such Technical Services which Licensor undertakes to provide under this Agreement may be provided by such third Persons. The Licensor must ensure that any such third Person has the relevant skill, expertise and competency to perform the Technical Services. Licensor will, at all times, retain responsibility for ensuring that its obligations in relation to the provision of the Technical Services are fulfilled even if it has appointed a third Person under this clause. Licensor may, upon Notice to Licensee, require Licensee to pay directly to any such third Person any portion or all of any payment due to Licensor hereunder.

(J) Licensor’s Option to Assign Pre-Opening Coordinator. Subject to the remainder of this clause, Licensor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assign a full time or part time, pre-opening coordinator or coordinators to act as Licensor’s representative during the Pre-Opening Period (the “Pre-Opening Coordinator(s)”) at Licensor’s expense, except as otherwise specifically agreed by Licensee. Before appointing the Pre-Opening Coordinator(s), Licensor must obtain Licensee’s approval of the identity of the Pre-Opening Coordinator(s) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). The functions of the Pre-Opening Coordinator(s) during the Pre-Opening Period shall be as follows:

(1) to consult with Licensee in connection of pre-opening scheduling, the processing of any required approvals of Licensor and Licensee;

(2) to serve as liaison between Licensee and Licensor in connection with compliance with the requirements of all Licensor approvals, and the purchasing, delivery, and installation of all FF&E, Operating Equipment, and Operating Supplies;

(3) generally, to assist in the coordination of pre-opening and grand opening activities between Licensee and Licensor and to evaluate the Hotel within thirty (30) days prior to the Opening Date to determine compliance with the Hotel System.

Licensee shall provide the Pre-Opening Coordinator(s) with full cooperation and all information in Licensee’s possession or under Licensee’s control in relation to the development of the Hotel (so far as that information relates to the functions and duties of the Pre-Opening Coordinator(s)) to ensure that the Pre-Opening Coordinator(s) has the capability to fulfill the functions assigned herein to the Pre-Opening Coordinator(s).

(K) Licensor Only an Advisor. Licensee hereby acknowledges that Licensor acts only in an advisory capacity for purposes of this Section 5, and Licensor shall not be responsible for the adequacy or coordination of any plans or specifications, the structural integrity of any structures or the systems thereof, compliance with applicable Laws, including, without limitation, any building code of any Governmental Authority, or any insurance requirement, or for the obtaining of any necessary Permits, all of which shall be the sole responsibility, and at the sole risk, of Licensee.

(L) Pre-Opening Program. Licensor and Licensee shall cooperate with each other to develop a written pre-opening program for the Hotel in conjunction with the pre-opening program for the Casino not less than nine (9) months prior to the Target Opening Date specifying, in reasonable detail: (i) any services by Licensor which Licensor reasonably believes are necessary prior to the Opening Date with respect to the Hard Rock Elements; (ii) the estimated costs to be incurred by Licensor in providing such services which the Licensee would have to agree to bear during the Pre-Opening Period; (iii) sales and promotion efforts by Licensor or its Affiliates during the Pre-Opening Period; (iv) required opening festivities; and (v) an estimate of other pre-opening costs and expenses relating to the foregoing. Licensee shall be solely responsible for payment of all such pre-opening costs and expenses which are approved by Licensee.

(M) Opening Date. Licensee shall use its best effort to have the Hotel be in operation and open to the public not later than December 1, 2008 (the “Target Opening Date”), and shall thereafter remain continuously open during the Term of this Agreement. The “Opening Date” shall be the actual date the Hotel and the Casino is fully operational and open to the public. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the Casino must open for operations simultaneously with the Hotel. If the Opening Date does not occur within eighteen (18) months after the Target Opening Date for any reason, including Force Majeure, Licensor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, by delivering written Notice to Licensee. Additionally, Licensee shall immediately pay to Licensor all accrued fees under this Agreement and reimburse Licensor for all professional, travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Licensor in connection with this Agreement.

(N) Limitations of Prior Approvals. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, the approval of any item by Licensor in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver by Licensor of its right to insist upon strict compliance by Licensee with any of the other terms of this Agreement, or prevent Licensor from requiring Licensee to alter, remove, replace or repair any other item which was not previously approved by Licensor and which does not comply with the requirements of this Agreement or any applicable Law.

(O) Ancillary Agreements. After the acquisition by Licensee of the site for the Hotel and prior to the commencement of the construction of the Hotel, Licensee and Licensor’s designee for operation of the Hard Rock Hotel Retail Store shall enter into the Retail Lease Agreement, and Licensee and Licensor’s designee for the operation of the Hard Rock Café shall enter into the Café Lease.

(P) Sale of Securities.

(1) If Licensee or any of its Affiliates shall, at any time or from time to time, “sell” or “offer to sell” any “securities” issued by it through the medium of any “prospectus” or otherwise, it shall do so only in compliance with all applicable securities laws, and Licensee shall not make any representations that implies in any way that (a) either Licensor, or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, shall in any way be deemed an “issuer” or “underwriter” of said “securities,” or that (b) Licensor, its Affiliates and said officers, directors, agents and employees have assumed or shall have any liability or responsibility for any financial statements, prospectuses or other financial information contained in any “prospectus” or similar written or oral communication.

(2) Licensee shall deliver to Licensor three (3) draft copies of any relevant sections of a “prospectus” or similar communications that refer to or contain the Licensed Marks, any description of this Agreement and/or Licensee’s relationship with Licensor hereunder, other than simply identifying the existence of this Agreement or the existence of the Hotel, Casino, or Hard Rock Café in the “City of Dreams” complex without a description of the terms of this Agreement or the nature of the relationship between Licensor and Licensee, delivered in connection with the sale or offer by Licensee of any “securities” not less than thirty (30) days prior to the filing thereof with any Governmental Authority or the delivery thereof to any prospective purchaser. In the event there are any nonmaterial changes to any sections of the materials previously approved by Licensor in accordance with this Section, Licensee

shall redeliver to Licensor three (3) draft copies of all relevant sections of the materials that contain such nonmaterial changes, and Licensor shall review and approve or disapprove such nonmaterial changes in a reasonable period of time, having regard to the timetable of Licensee with respect to its financing. Notwithstanding the above, Licensor shall have the right in its sole discretion to approve the inclusion of any references to the Licensed Marks in such materials. Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Licensor and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees harmless of and from any and all liabilities, costs, damages, claims or expenses arising out of or related to the “sale” or “offer” of any “securities” of Licensee. All terms used in this Section 5(P) shall have the same meaning as in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Licensor’s approval of the Licensed Marks contained in such materials shall not constitute any judgment or determination by Licensor that such description is in compliance with applicable disclosure requirements. Licensor acknowledges and agrees that Licensee and its Affiliate may file a copy of this Agreement with the Securities Exchange Commission in compliance with applicable Laws.

6. CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF LICENSOR AND LICENSEE

8. PERSONNEL; MANAGEMENT

(A) Appointment of Managers. Prior to the Opening Date, Licensee shall appoint a “General Manager” for the Hotel, along with a Financial Manager, Food & Beverage Manager, Rooms Manager and Sales and Marketing Manager (collectively, the “Top Five Management Positions”). Licensee shall provide Licensor with all information available to Licensee as Licensor shall request regarding the experience, qualifications and character of any Person that Licensee proposes to appoint to a Top Five Management Position. Such appointment shall be subject to Licensor’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Licensee shall require the Persons appointed to the Top Five Management Positions at the Hotel to attend such initial training with respect to Licensor’s methods, procedures and protocols, at Licensee’s expense, as may be required from time to time by Licensor, at a location to be designated by Licensor. Such initial training shall include, without limitation, the Rock 101 training program. Licensee shall require each Person described in this Section 8(B) to attend such further periods of training, but no more than three (3) full calendar days per calendar year (excluding travel time), at Licensee’s expense, as may be required from time to time by Licensor, at a location to be designated by Licensee. If Licensor acting reasonably has assessed that any Person described in this Section 8(B) does not meet the required standards of Licensor then Licensor must notify Licensee of those Persons who have been assessed as not meeting the required standards and those areas of competence in which the Person has not met the required standards and basis for Licensor’s assessment.

(E) Full Staffing; Additional Training. Licensee will retain as Hotel employees all such staff as may be required from time to time in Licensee’s discretion for the proper operation of the Hotel in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Manuals, and will ensure that such staff (and all replacements of each member thereof) are competently trained and have received training, at its expense, relating to the Hard Rock style and brand in accordance with the training materials developed by Licensor and provided at Licensee’s cost. All employees of Licensee are solely employees of Licensee, not of Licensor. Licensee is not Licensor’s agent for any purpose in regards to Licensee’s employees or otherwise. If and whenever reasonably required by Licensor, and at Licensee’s expense, but not more than once in any calendar year, each Hotel employee shall attend, at Licensee’s facilities, such initial and additional training with respect to Licensor’s methods, procedures and protocols relating to the Hotel System as may be required by Licensor from time to time. Such training shall be at the cost of Licensee, and shall be carried out by Licensee at such locations as Licensee may determine. Licensee will reasonably cooperate and require that its staff reasonably cooperate with such training. Licensor may, at its cost, attend and participate in such Hard Rock training, provided, however, that if Licensee requests Licensor’s participation in such training and Licensor elects to so participate, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for its costs in connection therewith.

(F) All Training Must Be Completed to Satisfaction. All training must be completed to the reasonable satisfaction of Licensor. Licensee will not permit any Person to act or assist in the operation or management of the Hotel unless and until approved as competent by Licensor at the conclusion of all required training, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(G) Use of Licensee’s Facility. Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor to make available to Licensor and its Affiliates, at Licensor’s reasonable request and subject to Licensee’s scheduling, the facilities at the Hotel for use by Licensor as a facility for the training of Licensor’s and its licensees’ employees and staff in the operation and management of the Hotel System, provided that any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Licensee as a result of such cooperation shall be borne by Licensor and such cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Hotel.

(H) Leadership Conference. Licensee agrees to send, at its expense, a member of its senior management staff to the Hard Rock global leadership conference which shall occur on an annual basis.

(I) Appointment of Hotel Manager. Licensee or its Affiliates shall retain and exercise full operating control of the Hotel or, subject to Licensor’s prior written approval and right of first refusal (which is only required if the Licensee seeks to appoint a Hotel manager which is not a wholly owned Affiliate of Licensee or Casino Licensee), the Licensee may negotiate and execute a management agreement with a qualified management company approved by Licensor in accordance with this Section for the management and operation of the Hotel, which management agreement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. Any management agreement, which shall be submitted to Licensor for approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), will include the following provisions:

(1) The manager shall have the exclusive authority and responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Hotel;

(2) Except in extraordinary circumstances, such as theft or fraud on the part of the manager or a default by Licensee hereunder caused by the manager for which Licensee needs to promptly remove the manager from the Hotel, the management agreement shall not be terminated without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Licensor.

(3) The Hotel will be operated during the term of the management agreement in strict compliance with the requirements of this Agreement. If any conflict exists between the provisions of the management agreement and those of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. Specifically, the manager will be bound by and shall adhere strictly to all terms and conditions in this Agreement regarding confidentiality and operation of the Hotel, which terms and conditions may be enforced by Licensor directly with the manager;

(4) Any default under the terms and conditions of this Agreement caused wholly or partially by the manager shall constitute a default under the terms and conditions of the management agreement, for which Licensee shall have the right to terminate the management agreement; and

(5) Licensor shall have the right to communicate directly with the manager regarding day-to-day operation of the Hotel.

Any management company (other than a wholly owned Affiliate of Licensee or Casino Licensee) that shall be responsible for operating the Hotel pursuant to a management agreement with Licensee must be qualified and be approved by Licensor prior to taking over management of the Hotel. Such management company must have at least seven (7) years of experience on the management of two (2) or more first class full-service hotel properties. Licensor may refuse to approve any proposed management company that in Licensor’s judgment is not financially capable or responsible, or in Licensor’s judgment is inexperienced or unqualified in managerial skills or operational capacity or capability or is otherwise unable to adhere fully to the obligations and requirements of this Agreement. Licensor may withhold its approval if the proposed management company does not provide Licensor with all information that Licensor may reasonably request in order to reach such decision. It is understood that trade secrets and other confidential information and materials are, in the normal course of business, imparted to Hotel System licensees or franchisees and their managers, and Licensor will be under no obligation to approve a proposed management company who might compromise the Hard Rock Hotel

program or who is (or is an Affiliate of any entity who is) a Competitor. Except in extraordinary circumstances such as are described above, Licensee shall provide Licensor with a minimum of thirty (30) days to review and approve the proposed management company and the general manager. Also, before taking over management of the Hotel the management company must execute (i) a management agreement containing the terms set forth above, and (ii) a manager’s acknowledgment in a form approved by Licensor. In the event there is a change in the control of the management company for any reason whatsoever or if the management company becomes, is acquired by, comes under the control of, or merges with or into a Competitor, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor of any such change and such management company shall be subject to reapproval in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

(J) Right of First Refusal. In the event Licensee seeks to appoint a third party hotel manager (other than a wholly owned Affiliate of Licensee or Casino Licensee), Licensee shall give Licensor the right of first refusal to manage the Hotel. Licensor shall have twenty (20) days upon receipt from Licensee of a term sheet containing the proposed terms and conditions which it desires to appoint a third party hotel manager. The parties agree that the term sheet delivered to Licensor hereunder must include the material terms and conditions of the proposed management agreement, including, but not limited to, the management fee and term of the agreement. If Licensor does not exercise its right to manage the Hotel on the terms and conditions set forth in the term sheet delivered to Licensor hereunder within the said twenty (20) day period, Licensee may within the earlier of one hundred eighty (180) days of (i) Licensor’s notice of its intention not to exercise its right to manage the Hotel and (ii) the expiration of the twenty (20) day period, appoint, on terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the third party manager to those delivered to Licensor, a third party manager to manage the Hotel under the proposed terms. The appointment of a third-party manager under this Section shall be subject to Licensor’s approval rights under Section 5(I). In the event Licensee fails to appoint a third party manager within the said one hundred eighty (180) day period, or if there is a material change to the proposed terms or conditions of the appointment more favorable to the third party manager, Licensor shall have an additional right of first refusal to manage the Hotel under the same terms and conditions of this Section.

Licensee recognizes that Licensor is under no obligation to ensure that expenditures are proportionate to the amount of the Marketing Fee paid by a licensee for any given market area, or that any licensee benefits directly or proportionately from the development or placement of advertising supplied by or through the Licensor. Licensor shall not be obligated to expend all or any certain part of the Marketing Fee during any specific period of time or to refund any of the same to Licensee.

Licensor has granted a license to Licensee in reliance upon Licensee’s and its principals’ individual or collective character, skill, aptitude, attitude, business ability and financial capacity. Accordingly, subject to Section 5(C) and other than to a Melco Affiliate, Licensee shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, assign or otherwise transfer its ownership interest in the Hotel or substantially all of the assets of the Hotel, or its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part (except for the lease of commercial space at the Hotel customarily subject to lease or concession arrangements), in each instance, without Licensor’s prior written approval, which may not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that Licensor does not approve the sale, assignment or transfer of the Hotel by Licensee, Licensee may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days written notice to Licensor upon payment of a Termination Fee computed as provided in Section 15(B). Licensor agrees, however, that Licensee may, on notice to the Licensor, sell, assign or otherwise transfer, without Licensor’s consent, its ownership interest in the Hotel or substantially all of the assets of the Hotel, or all of its rights under this Agreement, as part of a sale, assignment or other transfer of the whole or substantial part of the “City of Dreams” complex in which the Hotel is located including the Casino to a single person that is not a Competitor of Licensor and has a net worth of not less than $100 Million US Dollars at the time of such transaction that acquires the Casino and Casino License. Licensee shall in a timely manner provide Licensor with the necessary information regarding any proposed transfer to permit Licensor to evaluate the proposed transferee and the transfer. In the event that Licensee sells the Hotel, Casino and all or a substantial part of the “City of Dreams” complex to a Person that is a Competitor of Licensor, Licensor shall have the right by written notice to Licensee to terminate this Agreement and upon such termination Licensee shall pay to Licensor a fee equal to the Termination Fee computed as provided in Section 15(B). In the event that Licensee sells the Hotel, Casino and all or a substantial part of the City of Dreams complex to a Person who is not a Competitor of Licensor but does not at the time of the transaction satisfy the $100 Million U.S. Dollar net worth test set forth above, Licensor shall have the right by written notice to terminate this Agreement and upon such a termination Licensee shall pay to Licensor a fee equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Termination Fee computed as provided in Section 15(B).

(1) It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Hotel shall at all times during the Term of this Agreement be operated in accordance with the Hotel System and the terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, in the event that Licensor consents to a sale or lease and assignment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 17(B) above, the prospective purchaser shall deliver to Licensor as a condition to such sale or assignment an executed written instrument, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Licensor and its counsel, expressly assuming and agreeing to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and providing a release by the assigning Licensee.

(2) Licensor’s consent to any sale or assignment of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any claims Licensor or any Affiliate of Licensor may have against Licensee, nor shall it be deemed a waiver of Licensor’s right to demand strict compliance with any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement by Licensee.

(3) Any sale or transfer in violation of the provisions of this Section 17 shall be void and of no force and effect.

18. NON-COMPETITION

(2) Licensee shall not operate or permit any other Person to operate at the Licensed Location: (a) a restaurant owned, operated or licensed by a Competitor, or (b) a gift shop or other clothing or merchandise store which sells merchandise bearing the trademarks of a Competitor. Licensee agrees that it shall include or cause to be included in its leases for the Hotel a clause prohibiting or preventing the use of operation thereof in a manner which would violate the provisions of this Section and that Licensor shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of such lease clause with the right to enforce it against the tenant. For the avoidance of doubt, any breach of such lease clause not owing to the action or any of its Affiliates shall not be deemed as a breach of this Agreement by Licensee hereunder unless Licensee prevents Licensor from asserting its rights to prohibit such violation by a tenant.

(B) Upon Transfer, Termination or Expiration. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, or upon a transfer by Licensee of its interest in the Hotel or its rights under this Agreement, Licensee agrees that, for one (1) year beginning on the effective date of the expiration, termination or transfer, neither Licensee nor its Affiliates will directly or indirectly own, operate, be employed by, advise, assist, invest in, franchise, make loans to, or have any interest in, a Music-Themed hotel at the Licensed Location or at a location situated within the Territory.

(C) Necessity of Noncompetition Restriction; Injunctive Relief. Licensee agrees the provisions of this Section 18 are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Licensor, its Affiliates and other licensees of Licensor and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Protected Persons”), including, without limitation, and as applicable, preventing the unauthorized dissemination of marketing, promotional and Confidential Information to competitors thereof and preventing damage to and/or loss of goodwill associated with the Licensed Rights and other intellectual property rights of Licensor. Licensee specifically acknowledges that damages alone cannot adequately compensate for a violation by Licensee of the requirements of this Section 18, and that injunctive relief is essential for the protection of the Protected Persons. Licensee agrees that if Licensor alleges any violation of any covenant contained within this Section 18, the Licensor will have the right (notwithstanding Section 19 hereof) to petition a court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive relief, in addition to all other remedies that may be available.

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

(A) Accounting/ Fee Disputes. Any dispute regarding the calculation of Fees paid or payable by Licensee and/or its Affiliates shall be resolved in the following manner: Licensor and Licensee shall use their reasonable efforts with the assistance of their respective independent public accountants to resolve such dispute. If such persons are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by either party of a notice identifying the nature of such dispute (the “Dispute Notice”), then the issues raised by the Dispute Notice shall be resolved by any internationally recognized “big-four” firm of certified public accountants mutually acceptable to Licensor and Licensee (the “Accounting Referee”). Such person shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. If within forty-five (45) days after receipt by either party of the Dispute Notice, the parties are unable to agree on an Accounting Referee, then each party shall pick an internationally recognized “big-four” firm of certified public accountants and such firms shall select the Accounting Referee, provided that the Accounting Referee so elected by such firms shall be independent of Licensor and Licensee and their respective Affiliates and shall not have a business relationship with any of such parties. The parties shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Referee to promptly resolve such issues. Such determination shall be made within thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which the Accounting Referee receives notice of the dispute, or as soon thereafter as possible. Such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall not be subject to appeal. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee in conducting such review (if any) shall be shared fifty percent (50%) by Licensor and fifty percent (50%) by Licensee. If Licensor and Licensee are unable to agree on an Accounting Referee, the dispute shall be governed by Section 19(B) below.

If the final resolution of Fees as provided above results in an additional payment to Licensor by Licensee and/or its Affiliates, then Licensee and/or its Affiliates shall pay any additional amounts due to Licensor, together with Interest thereon from the relevant due date, and reimburse Licensor for its share of the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee, within fifteen (15) days of the date on which the final determination is agreed or determined. If the final resolution of the fees as provided above determines that Licensee is not obligated to pay any additional Fee, the Licensor shall reimburse Licensee for its share of the fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Referee within fifteen (15) days of the date on which the final determination is agreed or determined.

(B) Other Disputes.

(1) Except for disputes, disagreements, controversies or claims (a “Dispute”) related to or based on Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks and disputes relating to the calculation of fees paid or payable by Licensee and/or its Affiliates to Licensor, which are subject to Section 19(A), all Disputes between Licensor and Licensee arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the validity or enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, shall be resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “Arbitration Body”) as provided in this Section 19(B) and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of such body (the “Arbitration Rules”) in effect as of the commencement of the applicable arbitration proceeding, except to the extent the then current Arbitration Rules are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 19(B), in which event the terms hereof shall control. The arbitration shall be governed by the Laws of Hong Kong and this Section 19(B), the award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding and judgment upon the award entered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(2) If either party hereto asserts that a Dispute has arisen, such asserting party shall give written notice (or notice as otherwise provided herein) thereof to the other party promptly following the asserting party having become aware that a Dispute has arisen. Any arbitration pursuant to this Section shall be conducted exclusively in Hong Kong.

(3) The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators, which arbitrators shall be selected in accordance with the Arbitration Rules, and at least one (1) of whom shall have had experience in the management and/or operation of hotels, or as a consultant in connection with the management and/or operation of hotels.

(4) In connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 19(B), (a) no arbitrator shall have been employed or engaged by a party hereto within the previous five (5) year period, (b) each arbitrator shall be neutral and independent of the parties to this Agreement, (c) no arbitrator shall be affiliated with any party’s auditors, (d) no arbitrator shall be employed by any hotel operator or an Affiliate of any hotel operator, and (e) no arbitrator shall have a conflict of interest with (including, without limitation, any bias towards or against) a party hereto. As used in this Agreement, the term “arbitrator” or “arbitrators” shall mean the one (1) member arbitration panel or the three (3) member arbitration panel, as applicable, described herein.

(5) The award of the arbitrators shall be accompanied by a statement of the reasons upon which the award is based. The arbitrators shall not have the power to modify this Agreement. Except in connection with claims by third parties for which a party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the award may not include, and the parties hereto specifically waive, any right to an award of multiple, exemplary or punitive damages.

(6) The arbitrators may consolidate proceedings with respect to any Dispute under this Agreement with proceedings with respect to any related controversy under this Agreement. However, except as specifically set forth in the preceding sentence: (i) arbitration will be conducted on an individual, not a class-wide, basis; (ii) only Licensor (and/or its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, owners, employees, agents and representatives, as applicable) and Licensee (and/or its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, owners, employees, agents and representatives, as applicable) may be the parties to any arbitration proceedings described in this Section; and (iii) no such arbitration proceeding shall be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding involving Licensor and/or any other Person or involving Licensee and/or any other Person.

(7) The parties hereto will cooperate in the exchange of documents relevant to any Dispute. Deposition or interrogatory discovery may be conducted only by agreement of such parties or if ordered by the arbitrators. In considering a request for such deposition or interrogatory discovery, the arbitrators shall take into account that the parties hereto are seeking to avoid protracted discovery in connection with any arbitration proceeding hereunder.

(8) Licensor and Licensee agree to be bound by the provisions of any limitation on the period of time in which claims must be brought under applicable Law or this Agreement, whichever expires earlier. Licensor and Licensee further agree that, in connection with any arbitration proceeding, each party must submit or file any claim which would constitute a counterclaim in respect of a claim in relation to which arbitration proceedings have been commenced within the same proceeding as the claims to which it relates. Any such counterclaim which is not submitted or filed will be forever barred.

(9) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Licensor and Licensee each have the right when deemed necessary to prevent irreparable injury pending resolution by arbitration of the actual Dispute to obtain temporary restraining orders and temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that Licensor and Licensee must contemporaneously submit their Dispute for arbitration on the merits.

(10) Subject to any injunctions or court orders during the course of the arbitration tribunal’s adjudication of this dispute, this Agreement shall continue to be performed except with respect to the part in dispute and under adjudication.

(C) Governing Law. Except to the extent governed by the United States Trademark Act of 1946 (▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act 15 U.S.C. Sections 1051 et seq.), this Agreement shall, by this express agreement of the parties, be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of Hong Kong, China, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the Laws of Hong Kong, China.

The parties hereto each hereby consents to the application of Hong Kong law to the construction, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement, and to the application of Hong Kong law to the procedural aspects of any suit, action or proceeding relating thereto, including but not limited to legal process, execution of judgments and other legal remedies.

(D) Injunctive Relief. In connection with seeking temporary restraining orders and temporary or preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction as provided in Section 19(B)(9), or in judicial proceedings related to Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks, Licensee and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and licensees agree to entry without bond of temporary and permanent injunctions and orders of specific performance enforcing any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(E) Consent to Jurisdiction. Licensee and Licensor agree that all judicial actions arising under this Agreement or otherwise as a result of the relationship between Licensee and Licensor that are not subject to arbitration or that pursuant to Section 19(B)(9) are carried on with a contemporaneous arbitration must be commenced, as applicable, in the courts of Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China. Licensee and Licensor irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection Licensee or Licensor might have to either the jurisdiction of or venue in those courts. Licensor appoints: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Services Limited, 41st Floor, Bank of China Tower, ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to accept service in any proceedings which may be commenced pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement in the Hong Kong courts, or, to the extent required, before the Arbitration Body. Licensee appoints: RB Secretariat Limited, 20th Floor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇-▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to accept service in any proceedings which may be commenced pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement in the Hong Kong courts, or, to the extent required, before the Arbitration Body. A party must maintain such agent for service and may only change such agent with the written consent of the other party.

(F) Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. Licensee and Licensor agree that if either party seeks to enforce this Agreement in an arbitration, judicial or other proceeding, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such arbitration, judicial or other proceeding.

(G) Waiver of Punitive Damages and Jury Trial. Except for the parties’ respective indemnification obligations under Section 20 with respect to any third party Claims, Licensor and Licensee waive to the fullest extent permitted by Law any right to or claim for any multiple, punitive or exemplary damages against the other and agree that, in the event of a dispute between Licensor and Licensee, the party making a claim will be limited to equitable relief and to recovery of any actual damages it sustains. Licensor and Licensee irrevocably waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim, whether at law or in equity, brought by either of them.

(H) Limitations of Claims. Except for claims arising from Licensee’s nonpayment or underpayment of amounts Licensee owes Licensor or its Affiliates, any and all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Licensor’s relationship with Licensee will be barred unless a proceeding is commenced within one (1) year from the date on which the party asserting the claim knew or should have known of the facts giving rise to the claim.

20. INDEMNIFICATION

(A) Indemnification by Licensee. Licensee shall Indemnify Licensor and its Affiliates and all of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, investigations, audits, demands, assessments, fines, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (“Claims”) incurred by any of them by reason of: (i) any breach by Licensee of any covenant or agreement made by it in this Agreement, (ii) any act or omission of Licensee or any officer, employee or agent of Licensee, whether or not incurred or committed in the operation of the Hotel, (iii) any failure by Licensee to provide all of the services contracted for in connection with the operations of the Hotel, to honor and fulfill all obligations of Licensee under any contract, commitment or obligation of Licensee, (iv) any failure by Licensee or its Affiliates or any officer, employee or agent of Licensee or its Affiliates, to obtain and maintain the applicable approvals, licenses and Permits required by any applicable Governmental Authority or Licensee, (v) any violation by Licensee or its Affiliates of any approvals, licenses or Permits relating to the Hotel, or (vi) the operation of the Hotel, including any death or personal injury or property damage occurring at the Hotel.

(B) Indemnification by Licensor. Licensor shall indemnify Licensee and its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from any Claims arising out of Licensor’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of its obligations, representations or warranties under this Agreement.

(C) Method of Asserting Claims. Whenever any Claim shall arise for indemnification under this Section 20, the indemnified party will give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of such Claim, stating the nature, basis and (to the extent known) amount thereof, and shall cooperate fully in the defense, settlement or compromise of such Claim; provided that failure to give prompt notice shall not jeopardize the right of the indemnified party to indemnification unless such failure shall have materially prejudiced the ability of the indemnified party to defend such Claim. The indemnifying party shall have the sole right to select counsel for the defense of such Claim, subject to the approval of the indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and to control the defense, settlement or compromise of such Claim. The indemnified party shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such Claim, with its counsel and at its own expense. The indemnified party shall not settle or compromise any Claim by a third party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall obtain the prior written approval of the indemnified party (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld) before ceasing to defend against such third party claim or entering into any settlement or compromise of such third party claim involving injunctive or similar equitable relief being asserted against any indemnified party and no indemnifying party will, without prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Claim, action or cause of action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought thereunder (whether or not any such indemnified party is a party to such Claim, action or cause of action, suit or

proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of all such indemnified parties from all liability arising out of such Claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(D) Survival. The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

21. CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY

(A) Condemnation. Licensee shall, at the earliest possible time, give Licensor notice of any proposed taking by confiscation, condemnation, compulsory acquisition, or similar proceeding. If such taking is substantial enough in Licensee’s or Licensor’s reasonable judgment to render impractical the continued operation of the Hotel in accordance with Management Standards, this Agreement shall be terminated by either Licensor or Licensee to the other with effect from such time to be agreed and such termination shall be without any fee, cost, penalty or other liability (but subject to any obligations which, by the terms hereof, survive the termination). If such taking is non-substantial, the parties shall agree on a plan for repair, and Licensee shall promptly make whatever repairs and restoration may be necessary to make the Hotel conform substantially to the condition, character, and appearance immediately prior to such taking, according to plans and specifications approved as required by this Agreement. Licensee shall take all measures necessary to ensure that the resumption of normal operation of the Hotel is not unreasonably delayed.

(B) Casualty. If the Hotel is damaged or destroyed by fire or other cause and such damage or destruction necessitates the closing of the Hotel for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if it elects not to repair or rebuild the Hotel upon written notice to Licensor given within sixty (60) days of such closing of the Hotel; provided, however, if subsequent to such notice and prior to the date on which the Term of this Agreement would otherwise have ended pursuant to this Agreement if such notice of termination had not been given, Licensee, any of its Affiliates, or any member of Licensee has a majority interest in or operates a hotel at the Licensed Location (the “Other Hotel”), which Other Hotel is not operated pursuant to a license or franchise from Licensor or any of its Affiliates, then in such event, Licensee shall be deemed to have wrongfully terminated this Agreement and Licensor shall be entitled to payment of a Termination Fee computed as provided in Section 15(B) based upon the period prior to the damage or destruction causing the closing.

(D) Survival. Any covenant, representation, warranty, term or provision of this Agreement which, in order to be effective, must survive the termination of this Agreement, shall survive any such termination.

(G) Waivers and Amendments. No failure by any party hereto to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon the breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any subsequent breach of such covenant, agreement, term or condition.

No waiver of any breach of any covenant, agreement, term or provision of this Agreement shall affect or alter this Agreement, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

(H) Consents and Approvals.

(2) If, pursuant to this Agreement, any consent or approval by either party which may not be unreasonably withheld is alleged to have been unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, then any dispute as to whether such consent or approval has been unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with Section 19 hereof. In the event there shall be a final determination that such consent or approval was unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so that such consent or approval should have been granted, the consent or approval shall be deemed granted and the party requesting such consent or approval shall not be entitled to damages or any other relief resulting therefrom.

Licensor and Licensee, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, each agree not to, directly or indirectly, solicit the employment of any individual who has an active management position with the other party hereto or any of its Affiliates, without the written consent of the other party hereto, which consent may be granted or withheld in the other party’s sole discretion.

(P) Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such parties may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

23. PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND REPRESENTATIONS
