THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO HOTEL AND CASINO GROUND LEASE (the “First Amendment”) is made this 23rd day of July, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) by and between NATIONAL HARBOR BELTWAY L.C., a Virginia limited liability company (the “Landlord”) and MGM NATIONAL HARBOR, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “Tenant”), with reference to the following:

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Hotel and Casino Ground Lease  dated April 26, 2013 (the “Lease”), for the lease of certain real property more particularly described in the Lease (the “Premises”); and

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the terms of the Lease as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

1.Recitals.  The Recitals set forth above are incorporated herein and made a part hereof by this reference as if fully set forth herein.

2.Defined Terms.  All capitalized terms used herein, unless specifically defined herein, shall have the same meanings and definitions as used in the Lease.

3.Final Parcel Determination.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that they have agreed upon a revised lease line on the Easterly border of the Premises as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto.  As a result, Exhibit “A” attached to the Lease shall be deleted and replaced by Exhibit A attached hereto.  Exhibit A shall be further amended and replaced by Landlord and Tenant in a mutually acceptable future amendment to the Lease once the process with the Maryland State Highway Administration (the “MSHA”) has been completed with respect to (i) the dedication by Landlord of certain easements/rights-of-way/areas (the “Dedication Areas”) affecting the Premises as needed in connection with the roadways adjacent to the Premises, (ii) the abandonment of certain storm water management easements (the “Abandonment Areas”), and (iii) the creation by MSHA of permanent easements for the benefit of Landlord, Tenant and the Premises (the “Permanent Easement Areas”).  A depiction of the Dedication Areas, the Abandonment Areas, and the Permanent Easement Areas is attached to this First Amendment as Exhibit B (the “MSHA Site Plan”).  Landlord has caused the Premises to be legally separated as a distinct, separate tax parcel and legal lot, in accordance with all applicable laws.  Tenant shall be responsible for any Impositions imposed upon the Permanent Easement Areas; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to pay any cost or expense associated with the acquisition of the Permanent Easement Areas from the MSHA.  [***]  Exhibit D attached to the Lease shall be deleted and replaced with the Example of Annual Base

Rent Calculation attached hereto as Exhibit H. Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall withhold the payment of Base Rent to Landlord for a period of time designated by Landlord and instead provide to Landlord a credit against amounts owed to Tenant by Landlord under the Circle Road Declaration (as hereinafter defined) equal to the amount of Base Rent withheld by Tenant.

4.Detailed Site Plan.  Landlord has agreed to allow Tenant to act as the applicant for modifications needed to the Beltway Parcel Detailed Site Plan 07073 (the “Beltway Parcel DSP”) to allow Tenant to construct the Tenant Improvements on the Premises. Tenant is currently processing certain modifications known as DSP 07073-01 (“Tenant’s DSP Modification”).  No modifications to the Beltway Parcel DSP (including without limitation any future modifications or conditions proposed to Tenant’s DSP Modification) shall be made by Tenant without Landlord’s consent (which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, but Landlord shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in exercising its sole discretion) that will: (i) have an adverse effect (which shall include an adverse impact on traffic or trips) on the development of the portion of the Beltway Parcel that is not the Premises (the “Remaining Beltway Parcel”), (ii) impose additional obligations (other than those of a de minimis nature) on the Remaining Beltway Parcel, the Landlord or the owner of the Remaining Beltway Parcel, or (iii) increase the cost to develop the Remaining Beltway Parcel (unless Tenant agrees in writing to pay all such costs); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may undertake any modifications of the Beltway Parcel DSP, without Landlord’s consent, to the extent such modifications are consistent with the expansion rights granted to Tenant (or are otherwise contemplated or permitted) under the Lease (the “Permitted DSP Modifications”). As a result, and except for the Permitted DSP Modifications, Tenant shall submit all of Tenant’s proposed modifications to the Beltway Parcel DSP and/or Tenant’s DSP Modification and/or the conditions proposed in connection with such modifications to Landlord at least five (5) business days prior to submitting the same for approval by the applicable governmental authorities. For those modifications that require Landlord’s approval, Landlord agrees to respond in writing to any written request from Tenant for approval (which request shall specifically state the desired modification and the reason for such modification) no later than five (5) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written request for approval, and to provide Tenant with a reasonably-detailed explanation for any Landlord disapproval.  Any failure of Landlord to respond within such 5-day period shall be deemed to be Landlord’s approval of the same.

5.License for Staging Area and Parking Area.    Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that Landlord is the owner of the land comprising the Staging Area and the Parking Area and the holder of the RGP. Landlord does hereby grant to Tenant (at no charge or cost to Tenant, except as otherwise set forth herein) a license to use and utilize those portions of the Beltway Parcel that are not included within the Premises (which areas are identified as the Parcel “B” Staging Area containing approximately 7.479 acres (the “Staging Area”) and as the Parcel “C” Parking Area containing approximately 5.99 acres (the “Parking Area”) on Exhibit C attached to this First Amendment).  The Staging Area may be used as a construction staging area for Tenant’s construction staging and for other related construction purposes, including, without limitation, transport and storage of equipment, goods and materials, parking (including overnight parking) of temporary construction trailers and vehicles, including passenger vehicles for

employees and contractors, assembly and repair of equipment, goods and materials, and other similar or related activities and undertakings.  The Parking Area may be used as a parking area only for the parking by employees and contractors of automobiles, motorcycles, SUVs, pick-up trucks, and other similar vehicles, and for the placement of no more than four (4) construction office trailers and temporary utilities to serve such trailers in the area measuring 100 feet by 100 feet as shown on Exhibit C-1, provided that no storage trailers or outside storage of materials shall be permitted on the Parking Area.   Tenant agrees to accommodate (which accommodation shall not effect a termination of this license) any request by Landlord for Tenant to temporarily reduce or cease parking on the Parking Area to allow overflow parking on the Parking Area for customers and employees of the nearby Tanger Outlet Center (“Tanger Customers”) (i) during the seasonal peak shopping periods described below and (ii) upon no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice from Landlord (which notice period shall be reduced to ten (10) days if Landlord can provide an alternative parking area within the National Harbor development at no cost to Tenant) on up to five additional periods per year (which additional periods shall not exceed a total of 15 days per year). For purposes hereof, the seasonal peak shopping periods are as follows:  Thanksgiving day through and including January 3; Saturdays and Sundays during the month of August; and Maryland Tax-Free dates. Tenant shall not be responsible or liable for that portion of the Parking Area that is in use by the customers or employees or others of the Tanger Outlet Center, including any events, occurrences, injuries, deaths, damages, losses or other matters arising from, or in connection with, the use of the Parking Area by invitees, employees or customers of the Tanger Outlet Center.  In addition, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to suspend for a reasonable period of time Tenant’s right to use the Parking Area for up to five (5) business days in order for Landlord to install certain improvements to the parking facilities on the Parking Area, provided that Landlord’s right to suspend Tenant’s use right shall not be exercised more than two (2) times in any 12-month period. The parties recognize that the Parcel “B” portion of the Staging Area surrounds the Addison Family Cemetery Historic Site, as shown on Exhibit C.  Landlord and TPC (as defined below) agree to promptly and timely address and resolve (at no cost to Tenant) any issues relating to the Addison Family Cemetery Historic Site (including access to the site and installation of “Jersey barriers”) that are required or necessary to be resolved in order to permit Tenant and its contractors, subcontractors, employees and designees to use the Staging Area for the purposes permitted under this First Amendment. Tenant’s right to use the Staging Area and the Parking Area shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the date which is eighteen (18) months after the Effective Date if not sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.  If Landlord needs any portion of the Staging Area or the Parking Area to begin development or construction on a portion of the Beltway Parcel that is not part of the Premises, Landlord may terminate the license (as to that portion of the Staging Area or the Parking Area that is needed by Landlord to begin development or construction) effective any time after the date which is twelve (12) months after the Effective Date by providing Tenant at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of the termination.  Tenant may install (at Tenant’s cost) temporary improvements, including, but not limited to, trailers, fencing and gravel parking on the Staging Area and Parking Area.  Tenant’s use of the Staging Area and the Parking Area must be in compliance at all times with (i) the Staging Area and Parking Area Requirements attached hereto as Exhibit E and (ii) all applicable laws and governmental regulations.  Tenant shall be required to obtain all necessary permits and approvals for Tenant’s

use of the Staging Area and the Parking Area.  Upon termination of the license for the Staging Area and the Parking Area, Tenant shall cease using the Staging Area and the Parking Area, remove (at Tenant’s cost) its temporary fencing or other temporary improvements (including, without limitation, any storm water improvements previously made to divert storm water, unless and to the extent Landlord and Tenant agree otherwise), and return the Staging Area and the Parking Area to substantially the same condition it was in prior to the commencement of Tenant’s use of the Staging Area and the Parking Area. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its affiliates harmless against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses (collectively, “Claims or Losses”), arising out of or resulting from entry on and use of the Staging Area and Parking Area and the Parking Area by Tenant, Tenant’s contractors, employees, representatives, and others claiming by and through Tenant.

6.Rough Grading Permit.  Landlord does hereby grant to Tenant the right (at no charge or cost to Tenant except as otherwise set forth herein) to use and utilize Landlord’s Beltway Parcel Rough Grading Permit (Permit #31822-2011-00), as the same is or may be modified, amended and or upgraded from time to time (the “RGP”).  Landlord shall promptly deliver to Tenant a copy of any notice of violation from the issuer of the RGP, including any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, received by Landlord or its affiliates, that relate to the RGP.  As of the date of this First Amendment, the RGP shall be deemed available for use and utilization by Tenant (the “Permit Use Date”), and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, at Tenant’s request, to take such commercially reasonable steps as may be necessary or appropriate for the RGP to be available for Tenant’s use and utilization as of the Permit Use Date.  Landlord shall notify Tenant promptly in the event it becomes aware of any additional governmental costs associated with ensuring that the RGP is available for Tenant’s use.  Unless Tenant notifies Landlord that it no longer desires to utilize the RGP, the additional governmental costs shall be paid by Tenant, unless Landlord is utilizing the RGP at such time in which case such costs shall be allocated equitably between Landlord and Tenant in a manner to be determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.

Landlord hereby grants permission to Tenant to use and utilize the RGP for any and all activities undertaken on or at the Premises and the Staging Area and the Parking Area (as may be needed in connection with Tenant’s permitted use of the Staging Area and the Parking Area) as may be permitted pursuant to the terms of the RGP, including, but not limited to, the following:

If Tenant desires to make any amendments, revisions, modifications or other changes to the RGP, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the proposed amendment, revision, modification or other change prior to submitting the same to the applicable governmental authorities for approval.  Landlord shall approve, disapprove or request additional information regarding such proposed amendment, revision, modification or other change within ten (10) days of receipt of the same from Tenant. Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and may be withheld if such amendment, revision, modification or change has a detrimental effect on Landlord or the other property covered by the RGP or there is an additional cost to Landlord or its affiliates for which Tenant is unwilling to reimburse Landlord.

ending on the Permit Termination Date, Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord (or TPC, as the case may be) for 73.44% of the fees, premiums or other costs paid by Landlord (or TPC, as the case may be) to maintain the Bonds that correspond to the RGP.  Landlord (or TPC, as the case may be) shall deliver an invoice to Tenant setting forth Tenant’s 73.44% share of the fees, premiums or other costs.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or TPC, as the case may be) Tenant’s share of the fees within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of such invoice.  Any amounts remaining unpaid after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and Landlord (or TPC, as the case may be) may, in addition, and without notice, impose on Tenant a late charge equal to 10% of the unpaid amount, which Tenant agrees to promptly pay.

8.Reporting and Compliance.  Tenant shall timely file all reports, if any, required by the Maryland Department of the Environment National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System NPDES General Permit #09 PG0077, as may be modified, amended and or upgraded from time to time (the “NPDES Permit”) in connection with Tenant’s construction activities on the Premises, the Staging Area, and the Parking Area.  Tenant shall deliver a copy of all such reports to Landlord within one day after Tenant’s filing of such reports.  Any violations of the NPDES Permit by Tenant or its contractors, agents, employees or representatives, or any fines or fees imposed or remedial work required to be performed, as a result of activities on the Premises, the Staging Area or the Parking Area by Tenant or its contractors, agents, employees or representatives shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant, and Tenant shall comply with such obligations in the time frame required by the applicable governmental authorities, subject to Tenant’s right to reasonably contest or appeal any governmental orders, so long as such contest or appeal (i) does not impose any costs on Landlord or its affiliates and (ii) cannot reasonably be expected to jeopardize the good standing status of the RGP or otherwise have a detrimental effect on Landlord or the properties subject to the RGP.

Tenant shall comply with all rules, regulations, requirements and conditions of the applicable governmental authorities issuing the RGP and the NPDES Permit (the RGP and NPDES Permit are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Permits”).  Any violations arising under the RGP or the NPDES Permit resulting from Tenant’s use of the Permits shall be addressed and corrected immediately by Tenant, subject to Tenant’s right to reasonably contest or appeal any alleged violations, so long as such contest or appeal (i) does not impose any costs on Landlord or its affiliates (unless Tenant agrees in writing to pay such costs), (ii) cannot reasonably be expected to jeopardize the good standing status of the RGP or the NPDES Permit, or (iii) does not otherwise have a detrimental effect on the ability of Landlord or its affiliates to develop the properties subject to the RGP or the NPDES Permit.   In the event Tenant fails to remedy any violation (or pay any fine) within the time frame imposed by governmental regulations or authorities, but subject to Tenant’s right to reasonably contest or appeal any alleged violations (so long as such contest or appeal does not impose any costs on Landlord or its affiliates unless Tenant agrees in writing to pay such costs and cannot reasonably be expected to jeopardize the good standing status of the RGP or the NPDES Permit or otherwise have a

In such event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord or its affiliates in connection with such fine and work plus 10% of such costs within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Tenant of an invoice for such costs detailing the amounts actually paid by Landlord or its affiliates.  Any amounts remaining unpaid after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and Landlord may, in addition, and without notice, impose on Tenant a late charge equal to 10% of the unpaid amount, which Tenant agrees to promptly pay.  

9.Betty Blume Pond.  Tenant has performed a volume survey dated May 20, 2014, of Betty Blume Pond (the “Pond”) that shows the volume of the Pond (the “Initial Volume Survey”).  Within sixty (60) days after completion of construction by Tenant of the Tenant Improvements on the Premises: (i) Tenant shall conduct a final volume survey of the Pond (the “Final Volume Survey”), and (ii) Landlord and Tenant shall jointly inspect the Pond.  If the Final Volume Survey shows a decrease in the volume of the Pond from the volume shown in the Initial Volume Survey, Tenant shall be obligated to clean out the Pond and return it to the volume shown in the Initial Volume Survey within 120 days after the earlier to occur of the issuance to Tenant of all required certificates of completion and or certificates of occupancy relative to Tenant’s Improvements on the Premises, and the date on which Tenant opens the Tenant Improvements to the public for business.  If Landlord or any Landlord affiliate commences or allows another party to commence construction on the Beltway Parcel prior to completion of construction by Tenant and such construction activities contribute to the decrease in volume of the Pond, then Landlord shall share in a portion of the costs to clean out the Pond which amount shall be agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant in their reasonable discretion.  After inspection of the Pond by Landlord and Tenant, if Landlord believes in its reasonable discretion that there are other damages to the Pond or its surroundings caused solely by Tenant’s construction activities, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing, which writing shall specifically explain and describe any such other damages to the Pond, and Tenant shall commence any necessary remediation or repairs to the Pond or other affected areas within fifteen (15) days of the date of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written notice.  In the event Tenant fails to commence such repairs within the applicable fifteen (15) day period or thereafter fails to diligently pursue completion of the repairs, Landlord may, at its option, following written notice to Tenant and the expiration of a period of ten (10) days after such notice, as Tenant’s opportunity to cure, proceed to repair the damages to the Pond or other affected areas.  Landlord shall deliver an invoice to Tenant for reimbursement of all reasonable costs paid by Landlord for such repairs including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and costs (the “Repair Costs”).  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the date of such invoice. The Repair Costs shall constitute Additional Rent under the Lease, subject to late charges as set forth in Section 4.07 of the Lease.

b.

any and all issues and matters relating in any manner to directional or wayfinding signs and signage on and throughout the Beltway Parcel that are Landlord’s obligation as set forth in Section 16 hereof; and

Landlord agrees to promptly and diligently pursue the resolution, performance and satisfaction of all of the Landlord Matters (at Landlord’s cost) in compliance with all Laws.  Landlord agrees to keep Tenant informed on a regular basis (at least monthly or more often if requested by Tenant) of Landlord’s efforts to resolve, perform and satisfy the Landlord Matters.  

In the event that Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations that relate to the Landlord Matters, and such failure could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Tenant’s construction or the opening of the Tenant Improvements to the public or Tenant’s ongoing operations (to be determined in Tenant’s reasonable judgment), Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which writing shall specifically explain and describe such failures by Landlord and the material adverse effect that such failure will have on Tenant’s construction or the opening of the Tenant Improvements to the public or ongoing operations, and Landlord shall commence to cure the failure within fifteen (15) days of the date of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice.  In the event Landlord fails to commence such cure within the applicable fifteen (15) day period or thereafter fails to diligently pursue completion of the cure, Tenant may, at its option, following written notice to Landlord and the expiration of a period of ten (10) days after such notice, as Landlord’s opportunity to cure, proceed to perform such obligations on Landlord’s behalf.  Tenant shall deliver an invoice to Landlord for reimbursement of all reasonable costs paid by Tenant in connection with such performance or performance attempted in good faith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, if any.  Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within fifteen (15) days after the date of such invoice.  Any amounts remaining unpaid after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum.

13.Circle Road Declaration.  From and after the Effective Date, Landlord and Tenant shall diligently and in good faith negotiate and cause to be executed and recorded a Declaration of Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (the “Circle Road Declaration”) that addresses the construction and maintenance of the Circle Road to be constructed by Tenant on the easterly boundary of the Premises and the westerly boundary of the property adjacent to the Premises.

14.Road Improvements.  Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that certain improvements must be made to:

 

 

a)

West Road (“West Road Improvements”);

 

b)

that portion of existing Oxon Hill Road south of Bald Eagle Road and north of Harborview Avenue which improvements  have been conceptually approved by MSHA and are currently under design by Soltesz and do not include any improvements required as a result of Tenant’s detailed site plan (the “Oxon Hill Road Improvements”);

 

c)

the traffic signalization at the intersection of Oxon Hill Road and National Avenue (“Traffic Signal Improvements”); and

 

d)

the National Avenue/Harbor View one-way reconfiguration (“One-Way Reconfiguration”). (The West Road Improvements, the Oxon Hill Road Improvements, the Traffic Signal Improvements and the One-Way Reconfiguration are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Road Improvements”). 

Landlord and Tenant agree to work together in good faith, and to coordinate the timing, for the construction, completion and opening of the Road Improvements to the public on or before the scheduled opening to the public of the Tenant Improvements (it being the intent and agreement of the parties to coordinate the timing of the construction of the Road Improvements in order to avoid the early completion of Road Improvements so that Tenant does not risk damaging the Road Improvements during the construction of Tenant’s Improvements).

The cost of the design and construction of the West Road Improvements shall be shared equally between Landlord and Tenant.  The design and construction of the Oxon Hill Road Improvements shall be at the sole cost and expense of Landlord or TPC provided that any improvements to Oxon Hill Road required as a result of Tenant’s detailed site plan shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. The cost of Traffic Signal Improvements (if required by governmental authorities in connection with the opening of Tenant’s Hotel & Casino (“Tenant’s Opening Date”)) and the One-Way Reconfiguration including design, construction and installation shall be the sole cost and expense of Tenant.  If the Traffic Signal Improvements are not required prior to Tenant’s Opening Date but are required within five (5) years after Tenant’s Opening Date, then Tenant shall pay one-half of the cost of the Traffic Signal Improvements.  Tenant shall design the West Road Improvements and shall obtain the approval of Landlord (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) for such design prior to submission to the applicable governmental authorities for approval.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with periodic updates (no less frequently than monthly) regarding the West Road Improvements and the design, approval and cost thereof.  Provided that Landlord has approved

the design and cost of the West Road Improvements, Landlord shall provide the land needed for the construction of the West Road Improvements.  Landlord and Tenant agree that the West Road Improvements shall be designed to public road standards but the parties’ goal is retain West Road as a private road if permitted by the applicable governmental authorities and Landlord and Tenant shall work together to achieve such goal.  Landlord and Tenant shall each provide the other with sufficient advance notice of any meetings between either party or its representatives and the governmental authorities regarding any of the Road Improvements so that the other party may attend such meetings.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any existing sidewalks located on or adjacent to the Beltway Parcel that are damaged or destroyed by Tenant or its contractors during Tenant’s construction activities shall be expeditiously repaired and/or replaced by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost.  If Tenant fails to so repair or replace such existing sidewalks, then Landlord shall have the right, after providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant regarding Tenant’s failure to repair or replace such existing sidewalk and Tenant’s failure to commence and diligently pursue such repair or replacement, to repair or replace such sidewalk and send an invoice to Tenant for reimbursement of all reasonable costs paid by Landlord to repair of replace the sidewalk including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, if any (the “Sidewalk Costs”).  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the date of such invoice.  The Sidewalk Costs shall constitute Additional Rent under the Lease, subject to late charges as set forth in Section 4.07 of the Lease.

17.Declaration.  Landlord and Tenant shall continue to negotiate the terms and conditions of the National Harbor Beltway Community Declaration (the “Declaration”), including, but not limited to, terms negotiated within, and including, the following parameters: (i) the definition of the property to be included within the Beltway Parcel shall be in alignment with the common area of responsibility exhibit as set forth in Exhibit D attached to this First Amendment, with limitations and prohibitions on the addition or removal of property in excess of 20% of the Beltway Parcel that is not part of the Premises, in any single event or in the aggregate at any time, without Tenant’s prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (ii) achieving an allocation of costs under the Declaration to the owner of the Ground Lease Parcel (as defined in the Declaration and intended to be the same land as the Premises) that is mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant; (iii) agreement on initial budget for first year of construction activities of the Association (as defined in the Declaration) and an initial budget of the Association for the first year of operations with Tenant having reasonable approval rights in the event of more than a 5% increase year over year; (iv) the establishment of prior reasonable approval rights for Tenant in the event that Tenant is required to pay for or contribute to costs of services provided by the Association or contributions to other Associations (including but not limited to transportation, marketing, trolley, and other similar shared services); (v) the establishment of restrictions prohibiting gaming activities on all parcels within the Beltway Parcel, except for the Premises, without the written consent of Landlord and Tenant; (vi) the establishment of a distinct membership class for any tenant under the Gaming Ground Lease (as defined in the Declaration) or the holder of fee simple title to the Ground Lease Parcel in the event that there is no Lease then in effect due to the lessee’s acquisition of the fee or merger of the Ground Lease estate with the fee simple estate provided that the Ground Lease Parcel continues to be utilized for gaming purposes, and (vii) in the event

any portion of the initial Beltway Parcel is de-annexed or removed from the Declaration, or from the effects of the Declaration, such de-annexed or removed portion(s) shall, nevertheless, continue to be subject to the use restrictions contained in the Declaration and subject to the rights and remedies available to any party as a result of any breach of such restrictions.

19.Plans.  Attached hereto as Exhibit G is a letter setting forth the description of the plans that constitute the Approved Master Plan as well as a chart showing square footages of the components of Tenant’s Improvements which chart shall constitute part of the Approved Master Plan.   The parties acknowledge and agree that the Approved Master Plan and the Beltway Parcel DSP will need to be amended or modified, as necessary, in order to address and accommodate the final Circle Road configuration or other road configuration for the road to be constructed on the easterly boundary of the Premises and the westerly boundary of the property adjacent to the Premises (or any portion thereof) and the specific entry and exit street and road locations.  The parties agree to work together in good faith to facilitate and complete such amendment or modification to the Beltway Parcel DSP in accordance with Paragraph 4 of this First Amendment.    

20.[Intentionally Omitted].  

21.Reservation of Rights.  Tenant reserves all rights and remedies in the event Landlord breaches its duties or obligations relating to the completion and satisfaction of the Landlord Matters, including, without limitation, the right to seek specific performance, the right to petition the court for injunctive relief, and the right to perform such unperformed obligations on Landlord’s behalf, as provided in this First Amendment, and to seek reimbursement from Landlord for Tenant’s reasonable costs.  Landlord reserves all rights and remedies in the event Tenant breaches its duties or obligations set forth in this First Amendment, including, without limitation, the right to seek specific performance, the right to petition the court for injunctive relief, and the right to perform such unperformed obligations on Tenant’s behalf, as provided in this First Amendment, and to seek reimbursement from Tenant for Landlord’s reasonable costs.

Prior to commencement of construction, Tenant shall erect, or shall cause Tenant’s contractors to erect, at its sole cost, temporary six (6’) feet high chain link fencing to enclose the areas under construction on the Premises and the Staging Area and the areas enclosing Tenant’s construction office trailers on the Parking Area or erect or implement other suitable measures reasonably approved by the Landlord.

Dear Jon,

Enclosed, please find the Executive Drawing Update Package at 50% DD as well as a Signage Package. The packages are subject to change, but we believe them to be sufficient to serve as the “Approved Master Plan” referenced in the lease, specifically for the purposes of determining the expansion limitations set forth in Section 3.01(a) of the lease.

Also, please note that the plans show the Circle Road between the MGM/TPC properties which of course will be subject to agreement on the easement, build-out and maintenance of the Circle Road.

I plan to be in National Harbor next week and look forward to reviewing these in person with you and your team.

Sincerely,

/s/ Hunter Clayton
