(MGM MIRAGE)
     This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SPONSOR CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (MGM MIRAGE), dated as of April 29, 2009 (this “Amendment”) is made by MGM MIRAGE, a Delaware corporation (“Sponsor”), in favor of CITYCENTER HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as collateral agent pursuant to that certain Collateral Agent and Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the MGM Sponsor Contribution Agreement) (in such capacity together with its successors and assigns, the “Collateral Agent”) for the benefit of the Beneficiaries (as defined in the MGM Sponsor Contribution Agreement).
WITNESSETH:
     A. Borrower is the owner, directly or indirectly, of the land and improvements collectively constituting the CityCenter project, currently under construction in Clark County, Nevada (the “Project”).
     B. In connection with securing sources of funding for the completion of the Project, Borrower has entered into the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2008 (as amended and as it may be amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders referred to therein (collectively, the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity together with the successors, the “Administrative Agent”).
     C. Borrower has entered into a Collateral Agent and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2008 (as amended and as it may be amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Collateral Agent and Intercreditor Agreement”), with the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Collateral Agent is agreeing to act as collateral agent for the Beneficiaries.
     D. It was an original condition to the making of Loans under the Credit Agreement that Sponsor and Dubai World, a Dubai, United Arab Emirates government decree entity (“Dubai World”), on a several (and not joint or joint and several) basis, agreed to make future capital contributions to Borrower (either directly or through their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries), that Sponsor and Borrower executed that certain Sponsor Contribution Agreement (MGM MIRAGE), dated as of October 31, 2008 (the “MGM Sponsor Contribution Agreement”) and that, concurrently therewith, Dubai World and Borrower executed a comparable agreement (the “Dubai World Sponsor Contribution Agreement” and together with the MGM Sponsor Contribution Agreement, the “Sponsor Contribution Agreements”).
     E. The Collateral Agent asserts that there may be existing Events of Default, as well as impending Events of Default under the Dubai Word Sponsor Contribution Agreement and the Credit Agreement.
     F. Borrower has requested that the Lenders agree to amendments to the Credit Agreement in the form of Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated as of this date (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), as well as to amendments to certain of the other Loan Documents (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement).
     G. Sponsor’s execution and delivery of this Amendment is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement Amendment and of the amendments to the other Loan Documents (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement).

pay expenses under Section 22 of this Agreement (the “Deemed Satisfaction of Equity Commitments”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, and any rule of law or equity to the contrary notwithstanding, Sponsor’s obligations under this Agreement, including the Equity Commitments, automatically shall reinstate as and to the extent set forth in this Section 8 without any further notice or other action being required on the part of the Collateral Agent any time (each such event, an “Automatic Reinstatement Event”) any Letter of Credit for any reason whatsoever is ever required to be returned or otherwise cancelled in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, by virtue of any order, declaration, judgment, or other type of issuance of any court or other tribunal, any issuing bank for any reason whatsoever fails to honor any demand for payment under any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, by virtue of any order, declaration, judgment, or other type of issuance of any court or other tribunal, and/or any honored demand for payment under any Letter of Credit for any reason whatsoever is rescinded and/or recovered, including, without limitation, by virtue of any order, declaration, judgment, or other type of issuance of any court or other tribunal (the amount so returned, cancelled, failed to be honored, rescinded, and/or recovered, in each instance, being the “Defaulted Amount”).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Automatic Reinstatement Event, Sponsor shall be obligated to make Equity Contributions up to the Defaulted Amount and to further pay costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, if any, associated with such Automatic Reinstatement Event under Section 22 of this Agreement, in each such case, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Collateral Agent shall be exclusively entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 7 and 24 of this Agreement, to pursue the recovery of if Sponsor does not timely honor it reinstated obligations, all as if the Deemed Satisfaction of the Equity Commitments pursuant to this Section 8 had never occurred with respect to any such Reinstated Equity Commitment. For avoidance of doubt, (i) any reinstatement pursuant to the preceding three sentences shall be limited to the Defaulted Amount of each pertinent Reinstated Equity Commitment, plus the expenses, if any, under Section 22 of this Agreement associated with collecting the Defaulted Amount, and shall have no effect on the Deemed Satisfaction of Equity Commitments that have not been so reinstated, and (ii) any reinstatement of equity commitments under the Dubai World Sponsor Contribution Agreement shall have no effect on the Deemed Satisfaction of Equity Commitments hereunder.”
