From and after the Closing Date, all Tenant Payments held by Developer or Mall II LLC shall remain in or come into (through the transfer to Developer of such accounts or the funds held therein) the possession of Developer, but Mall II LLC shall be responsible for all obligations with respect to the deposits represented by the Tenant Payments.

Developer shall use commercially reasonable efforts, at Mall II LLC’s expense and in accordance with Mall II LLC’s reasonable instructions, to enforce for the benefit of Mall II LLC the applicable agreements concerning the disbursement of the Tenant Contractor Payments in the event of damage to the Phase II Mall; provided that the foregoing is not intended to prohibit, or restrict in any way, Developer’s right to enforce such agreements in the event of damage to the Phase II Hotel/Casino.”

Agreement, each as hereby amended, to a qualified intermediary as provided in Reg. 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) on or before 180 days from the date hereof and Developer hereby assents to any such assignment by Mall II Buyer. Developer agrees to cooperate with Mall II Buyer or its assignee in order to complete a qualifying like kind exchange for the benefit of Mall II Buyer, provided that Developer shall incur no liability, cost or expense in connection therewith.
          2.15 From and after the Closing, Mall II Buyer shall purchase and at all times maintain the business interruption insurance required under the Amended REA. In the event Mall II Buyer receives proceeds from any such business interruption insurance, or in the event that Mall II Buyer does not maintain business interruption insurance as required by this Section 2.15 and a loss occurs for which Mall II Buyer would have received proceeds under any such business interruption insurance policy had such policy been in effect, the amount of any such proceeds payable to Mall II Buyer, or the amount of such proceeds that would have been payable to Mall II Buyer if such policy had been in effect, shall be included in operating income for the purposes of calculating each Adjustment Payment, the Earn-Out Payment and the Recalculated Earn-Out.
          2.16 Notwithstanding Section 20.2(b) of the Agreement, there shall be five Interim Payment Dates on which Mall II Buyer shall pay to Developer an Adjustment Payment, as follows: June 16, 2008; October 15, 2008; the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date; and the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date.
          2.17 Mall II Buyer hereby agrees, in connection with and as full settlement for Developer’s claim that Phase II Mall includes too much public corridor space and that some of such space should have been Tenant Space, to pay Developer, at the Closing, as additional purchase price for the Membership Interests, an amount equal to $13,141,388.15 by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by Developer.
          2.18 (a) The parties hereby agree that in connection with and as full settlement of certain disputes between the parties, the first Adjustment Payment shall be increased by the following amounts: (i) an amount equal to the amount that would be owed by GCS pursuant to Schedule II of the REA as of the Closing Date, assuming that Stewarding (as such term is used in the REA) had always been a Hotel/Casino/Mall/SECC Common Area Charge (as such term is defined in the REA) but without giving effect to the amendment to the REA being entered into on the Closing Date (the “REA Amendment”), on account of Stewarding provided to GCS from January 1, 2007 through the Closing Date, and (ii) an amount equal to the previously unpaid portion of the amount that would, if the Second Amendment was not entered into, be owed by GCS under the REA as of the Closing Date on account of Off-Site Employee Parking (as such term is defined in the REA) from September 1, 2006 through the Closing Date. The amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be reasonably determined in good faith by Developer and Mall II Buyer; provided, that if Developer and Mall II Buyer are unable to come to agreement on either such amount within 90 days after the Closing Date, Developer and Mall II Buyer shall submit

the matter for determination by the Independent Expert (as such term is defined in REA) pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.16 of the REA; provided further that Mall II Buyer shall be estopped from arguing that Developer waived the right to collect the charges for Stewarding (for the period from and after January 1, 2007) and/or Off-Site Employee Parking (for the period from and after September 1, 2006) by reason of not previously billing such charges or any other reason, or from otherwise arguing that such charges are (whether because H/C I Owner is obligated to provide such services for no charge, or some other reason) not Hotel/Casino/Mall/SECC Common Area Charges or otherwise invalid. As an illustration of the second proviso clause of the preceding sentence, the only matter to be reasonably determined in good faith by Developer and Mall II Buyer (or determined by the Independent Expert) with respect to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this paragraph is the aggregate amount that would have been owed by GCS from September 1, 2006 through the Closing Date pursuant to the Off-Site Employee Parking section of Schedule II of the REA (but not including amounts actually billed and paid) if the adjustment procedure described in said section had been properly followed.
               (b) Developer hereby agrees on behalf of H/C I Owner, H/C II Owner, SECC Owner and Residential Portion Owner (as such terms are defined in the REA), and Mall II Buyer hereby agrees on behalf of Mall I Owner and Mall II Owner (as such terms are defined in the REA), that the Initial Off-Site Employee Parking Amount and the Initial Stewarding Amount (as such terms are defined in the REA) shall be determined by the procedure described in the last two (2) sentences of paragraph (a) of this Section 2.18, with both proviso clauses of the second-to-last sentence of said paragraph also applying.
          2.19 Developer and Mall II Buyer hereby agree that if any Lease for the operation of any retail cart or kiosk in the existing corridors or common areas of the Phase II Mall is entered into on or after the Earn-Out Date, whenever Mall II Buyer receives any payment from the Tenant under such Lease, including payments on account of fixed or base rent or percentage rent and payments received due to resolutions or settlements of litigations or arbitrations, but excluding payments on account of real estate taxes, “CAM” or other operating expenses, Mall II Buyer shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of such payment, pay to Developer an amount equal to half of such payment.
          2.20 Developer and Mall II Buyer hereby agree that apportionments with respect to the Phase II Mall (“Apportionments”), including without limitation, apportionments for rent and other Lease payments, real property taxes, water and sewage charges, utilities and fuel charges and the apportionment described in the third sentence of Section 16.3(c) of the Agreement, shall be made substantially in the manner (subject to any appropriate changes) set forth in Section 6 of that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2004, by and between Grand Canal Shops Mall Subsidiary, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Grand Canal Shops Mall MM Subsidiary, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Mall II Buyer. The Apportionments shall be adjusted as of 11:59 P.M. on the day preceding the Closing Date, but the net amount of

such Apportionments shall be paid by Mall II Buyer to Developer or credited by Developer to Mall II Buyer, as the case may be, on the first Interim Payment Date.
          2.21 Developer represents and warrants to Mall II Buyer that as of the date hereof, Mall II LLC is neither a guarantor nor a borrower with respect to any loan other than (a) the loan made pursuant to that certain Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of May 23, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Las Vegas Sands, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, as Borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., Lehman Brothers Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners and Syndication Agents, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Documentation Agent and (b) that certain Amended and Restated FF&E Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of August 21, 2007, by and among Las Vegas Sands, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, New Developer, the other Persons from time to time party thereto as Credit Parties, General Electric Capital Corporation, as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and a Lender, GE Capital Markets, Inc., as Lead Arranger and Book Runner, and the other Persons from time to time party thereto as Lenders. On the Closing Date, Developer will cause Mall II LLC to be released from all liability under each of the above-described loans.
          2.22 The parties hereby acknowledge the existence of a dispute with Consolidated Resorts, Inc. (“Consolidated Resorts”) with respect to that certain Rights Agreement dated as of June 2006 between Mall II LLC, as landlord, and Consolidated Resorts, as tenant. No amounts payable under such Rights Agreement shall be included within the calculation of (i) the Closing Payment, or (ii) except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.22, any Adjustment Payment or the Earn-Out Payment. From and after the Closing, Mall II Buyer shall cause Mall II LLC to take all actions, and only such actions, as may be directed from time to time by Developer (and at Developer’s sole cost and expense) with respect to such dispute, including without limitation commencing and pursuing litigation (as directed by Developer and using counsel appointed by Developer) and, if and as determined by Developer, settling such litigation (provided that (a) any non-monetary component of any settlement, and (b) if such settlement includes Consolidated Resorts or an Affiliate entering into another Lease covering space in the Phase II Mall, all of the terms (including financial terms) of such Lease, shall be subject to the approval of Mall II LLC, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Developer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Mall II LLC from and against any costs, expenses, losses, claims, or counterclaims arising from or related to such litigation. Any damages or other financial settlement of such dispute shall be the sole property of (and shall be forwarded to) Developer, provided that to the extent that the resolution (including settlement) of such dispute involves the enforcement of such Rights Agreement (i.e., Consolidated Resorts agrees to honor such Rights Agreement or there is a non-appealable judicial determination that Consolidated Resorts must honor such Rights Agreement) or the entering into of another Lease covering space in the Phase II Mall with Consolidated Resorts or an Affiliate thereof, then all amounts payable under such Rights Agreement or replacement Lease shall be the property of Mall II LLC and (a) if such resolution occurs prior to the Earn-Out Date, such Rights Agreement or applicable other Lease shall be taken into account in calculating any remaining Adjustment

Payments and the Earn-Out Payment or (b) if such resolution occurs on or after the Earn-Out Date, Mall II Buyer shall pay to Developer by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by Developer within fifteen (15) Business Days of such resolution an amount (the “Additional Payment Amount”) equal to (x) the product of (1) twelve (12) multiplied by (2) the fixed or base rent or other fixed periodic payment under the Rights Agreement or any applicable other Lease for the first calendar month for which rent is due and there is no full or partial abatement of rent, divided by (y) either (A) .06 if net operating income for the twelve consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the Earn-Out Date was less than thirty-eight million dollars ($38,000,000) or (B) .08 if clause (A) does not apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) there shall be deducted from any Adjustment Payment or Earn-Out Payment calculated pursuant to this Section 2.22 an amount equal to the amount of any damages or other financial settlement received by Developer in connection with such dispute and (ii) if clause (b) of the preceding sentence applies, the relevant Lease is the Rights Agreement and the expiration date in the Rights Agreement is not extended from the specific expiration date set forth in the Rights Agreement as of the date hereof in order to give the Mall II Buyer the benefit of a full five (5) year term, the Additional Payment Amount shall be reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage reduction in the effective term of the Rights Agreement.
          2.23 (a) The parties hereby acknowledge and confirm that (i) notwithstanding their prior intentions, the space (the “Excluded Space”) covered by that certain Lease (the “Excluded Lease”) dated as of October 3, 2007 by and between Mall II LLC and Strip View Entertainment LLC (“Bathhouse”) will not be part of the Phase II Mall as of the Closing Date and (ii) therefore, on or promptly after the Closing Date and pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the parties (1) the Excluded Lease will be assigned by Mall II LLC to Developer, (2) the space covered by that certain Palazzo Casino Level Restaurant/Retail Master Lease Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Master Lease”) by and between Developer and Mall II LLC will not include any of the Excluded Space and (3) the portion of the Excluded Space owned by Mall II LLC will be leased to Developer (such lease arrangement, the “Temporary Lease”) for the annual rent of one dollar ($1.00).
               (b) The parties also acknowledge and confirm that Developer intends (but is not obligated) to exercise remedies against Bathhouse in connection with defaults by Bathhouse under the Excluded Lease. Upon either (i) a non-appealable judicial determination in connection with such exercise, (ii) a binding settlement between Developer and Bathhouse with respect to such remedies and such defaults or (iii) the termination by Developer of all actions (including the termination of all litigations) in connection with such exercise (any of the events described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this sentence, the “Bathhouse Resolution”) then promptly thereafter (A) pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Developer and Mall II LLC, (1) if the Excluded Lease has not been terminated, the Excluded Lease will be assigned by Developer to Mall II LLC, (2) the Master Lease will be amended so that the space covered thereby includes all Excluded Space not owned by Mall II LLC and (3) the Temporary Lease will be terminated and (B) the provisions of paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 2.23 shall apply.

cost and expense) in connection with its exercise of such remedies and all litigations in connection therewith, including without limitation settling such litigation; provided, however that (x) any non-monetary component of any settlement, and (y) if such settlement includes Bathhouse or an Affiliate entering into another Lease covering space in the Phase II Mall, all of the terms (including financial terms) of such Lease, shall be subject to the approval of Mall II LLC, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
               (c) Any damages or other financial settlement paid or owed by Bathhouse or any Affiliate thereof in connection with the Bathhouse Resolution shall be the sole property of Developer, provided that to the extent that the Bathhouse Resolution results in the Excluded Lease remaining in effect and not being terminated, or the entering into of another Lease covering the Excluded Space with Bathhouse or an Affiliate thereof, then all amounts payable under such Excluded Lease or replacement Lease shall be the property of Mall II LLC and (i) if the Bathhouse Resolution occurs prior to the Earn-Out Date, such Excluded Lease or applicable other Lease shall be taken into account in calculating any remaining Adjustment Payments and the Earn-Out Payment or (ii) if the Bathhouse Resolution occurs on or after the Earn-Out Date, Mall II Buyer shall pay to Developer by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by Developer within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Bathhouse Resolution an amount equal to (x) the product of (1) twelve (12) multiplied by (2) the fixed or base rent or other fixed periodic payment under the Excluded Lease or any applicable other Lease for the first calendar month for which rent is due and there is no full or partial abatement of rent, divided by (y) either (A) .06 if net operating income for the twelve consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the Earn-Out Date was less than thirty-eight million dollars ($38,000,000) or (B) .08 if clause (A) does not apply.
               (d) In the event that the Bathhouse Resolution results in the Excluded Lease being terminated without a replacement Lease being entered into by Bathhouse or an Affiliate thereof, then the parties will cooperate to identify a tenant or tenants suitable to Developer and Mall II LLC (in the sole discretion of each) to occupy the Excluded Space and negotiate a Lease with each such tenant, provided that any such Lease must be acceptable to both Developer and Mall II LLC (in the sole discretion of each). If any such Lease is entered into prior to the Earn-Out Date, such Lease shall be taken into account in calculating any remaining Adjustment Payments and the Earn-Out Payment. If any such Lease is entered into on or after the Earn-Out Date, Mall II Buyer shall pay to Developer by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated by Developer within fifteen (15) Business Days of such resolution an amount equal to (x) the product of (1) twelve (12) multiplied by (2) the fixed or base rent or other fixed periodic payment under such Lease for the first calendar month for which rent is due and there is no full or partial abatement of rent, divided by (y) either (A) .06 if net operating income for the twelve consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the Earn-Out Date was less than thirty-eight million dollars ($38,000,000) or (B) .08 if clause (A) does not apply.
          2.24 Promptly after the Closing Date, Mall II LLC, as landlord, and Developer or an Affiliate thereof, as tenant, shall enter into a lease (the “Palazzo Village

Lease”) covering that certain space identified as “Space No. 2720” (the “Palazzo Village”), which lease shall include the terms set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof, and shall, subject to the further provisions of this Section 2.24, otherwise be on commercially reasonable terms consistent with other restaurant Leases for space in the Phase II Mall as of the date hereof. The Palazzo Village Lease shall also require that Developer (a) maintain the Palazzo Village in a quality consistent with the overall quality of the Phase II Mall, (b) not install, or permit any subtenants to install, seating in the common areas of the Palazzo Village other than in the area surrounding and dedicated to the wine bar and (c) use good faith efforts to provide Raymond Nisi with an interest in the wine bar.

          2.27 The parties hereby agree that if the Closing Date is February 29, 2008, then, for the purpose of calculating any annual, twelve (12) month or twenty-four (24) month anniversary (or any other monthly anniversary based on a whole number multiple of twelve (12)), the Closing Date shall be deemed to be March 1, 2008. This Section 2.27 shall apply to all documents executed in connection with the sale of the Phase II Mall, including without limitation the Amended Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment, the Master Lease, that certain Construction Warranty dated as of February 29, 2009 made by New Developer and Developer in favor of Mall II LLC and the REA (as amended as of the date hereof).

Exhibit C
Description of Palazzo Village
Developer has proposed a “food village” for the currently vacant Space 9 (totaling approximately 18,986 sq/ft). This is not a food court (ie – there will be no common area seating other than as referenced in Section 2.24), but more an aggregation of smaller, boutique restaurants. This concept would serve the breakfast, lunch and dinner demand for consumers who desire a more sophisticated, branded experience in an otherwise casual setting. The concept will marry fast casual convenience with the high quality of a traditional sit-down restaurant.
Developer will be the guarantor and enter into a master lease which will begin not later than April 1, 2009. The proposed rent structure is $50 sq/ft (with annual increases of 3%) versus 12% of total sales generated in the leased premises, requiring a 10 year lease. The lease will have one (1) five (5) year option, which would only be applicable if an agreed upon sales threshold is met and if so, rent would adjust to reflect market at the time of option term commencement (with annual increases of 3%). CAM charges will be at the standard rates for Palazzo restaurants (ie – initially $20 per sq/ft with annual increases). The master lease will include the common area surrounded by these boutique restaurants (for a total master leased premises of approximately 18,986 sq/ft). In the event that Developer desires to install any retail kiosks, duratrans, or similar income producing structures in such common area, the same shall be subject to the approval of Phase II Mall Subsidiary (not to be unreasonably withheld).
To date Developer has received commitments from the following restaraunteurs:
  -   Thomas Keller for Bouchon Bakery and “Burgers and Half-bottles”
 
  -   Joe Bastianich and Marion Batali for La Mozza and Casa Mona
 
  -   Emeril Lagasse for a yet to be named BBQ concept
 
  -   Gary Greengrass for Barney Greengrass
 
  -   Charlie Trotter for Trotters To Go
 
  -   CRU or Zacky’s for wine
Developer guarantees that not less than 6 of the 8 of the above concepts commit by no later than July 1, 2008; in the event that they do not so commit, Phase II Mall Subsidiary will have the right to terminate the master lease prior to obtaining commitment by 6 of such 8). Developer shall provide copies of any written commitments. In the event of noncommittal or if, following execution of a sublease with any such tenant, such tenant subsequently vacates, Developer will replace the concept with a like-tenant, similar in quality and name brand (subject to approval rights set forth in Section 2.24).
As soon as reasonably practicable, Developer shall prepare a layout and renderings of this concept, which shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Phase II Mall Subsidiary.
