Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Operative Agreements, the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have waived any right which the Purchaser may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the obligations owing to the Purchaser, and the full amount of the Indebtedness Hereby Secured shall be fully recourse to the Indemnitor (i) upon the occurrence of a voluntary bankruptcy, insolvency or similar debt relief proceeding initiated by the Company or the Indemnitor or an involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency proceeding or similar debt relief of the Company or the Indemnitor involving the collusion of the Company or the Indemnitor or any of their Affiliates, (ii) upon a transfer of the Property or any equity interest in the Company in violation of Section 2.3 (g) or (h) of the Deed of Trust, (iii) in the event the Company or the Indemnitor raises any defense, counterclaim and/or allegation in any action by the Purchaser exercising its rights or remedies which is found by a court to have been raised by the Company or the Indemnitor, as the case may be, in bad faith, (iv) in the event of any amendment, modification, substitution, extension, replacement, supplement, alteration or termination of, the Naming Rights Agreement by the Company without the Purchaser’s prior written consent, (v) if the Company transfers, assigns, pledges, charges or grants a security interest or participation interest in or suffers any such to exist or otherwise hypothecates any of the Company’s estate, right, title or interest in and to the Naming Rights Agreement without the Purchaser’s prior written consent other than to or for the benefit of the Purchaser, or (vi) if the Indebtedness Hereby Secured is accelerated as a result of a default under Section 5.1(m) of the Deed of Trust.
(b)    This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The liability of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall be direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against the Company or any other person (including, without limitation, other guarantors, if any), nor against the collateral for the Note. Indemnitor waives any right to require that an action be brought against the Company or any other person or to require that resort be had to any collateral for the Note or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Purchaser in favor of the Company or any other person. In the event, on account of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, the Company shall be relieved of the Recourse Obligations, Indemnitor shall nevertheless be fully liable therefor. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Purchaser shall have the right to enforce its rights, powers and remedies (including, without limitation, foreclosure of all or any portion of the collateral for the Note) thereunder or hereunder, in any order, and all rights, powers and remedies available to the Purchaser in such event shall be non-exclusive and cumulative of all other rights, powers and remedies provided thereunder or hereunder or by law or in equity. If the indebtedness and obligations guaranteed hereby are partially paid or discharged by reason of the exercise of any of the remedies available to the Purchaser, this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and Indemnitor shall remain liable for all remaining indebtedness and obligations guaranteed hereby, even though any rights which Indemnitor may have against the Company may be destroyed or diminished by the exercise of any such remedy.
(c)    Indemnitor shall maintain at all times prior to satisfaction in full of all outstanding debt due under the Note, a Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Deed of Trust) of not less than

CLARK COUNTY LAS VEGAS STADIUM, LLC
Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement
an amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Note and Liquid Assets (as defined in the Deed of Trust) in an amount less than 20% of the required Tangible Net Worth.
SECTION 2.    INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES.
(a)    If any action shall be brought against the Purchaser based upon any of the Recourse Obligations, the Purchaser shall notify Indemnitor in writing thereof and Indemnitor shall promptly assume the defense thereof, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel by Indemnitor which is reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the negotiation of any settlement; provided, however, that any failure of the Purchaser to notify Indemnitor of such matter shall not impair or reduce the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder. The Purchaser shall have the right, at the Purchaser’s expense, to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof. In the event Indemnitor shall fail to discharge or undertake to defend the Purchaser against any claim, loss or liability for which the Purchaser is indemnified hereunder, the Purchaser may, at its sole option and election, defend or settle such claim, loss or liability, at Indemnitor’s expense. The liability of Indemnitor to the Purchaser hereunder shall be conclusively established by such settlement, provided such settlement is made in good faith, the amount of such liability to include both the settlement consideration and the costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by the Purchaser in effecting such settlement. In such event, such settlement consideration, costs and expenses shall be included in Costs and Indemnitor shall pay the same as hereinafter provided. The Purchaser’s good faith in any such settlement shall be conclusively established if the settlement is made on the advice of independent legal counsel for the Purchaser.
(b)    Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser: (i) settle or compromise any action, suit, proceeding or claim involving the Purchaser or consent to the entry of any judgment involving the Purchaser that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the Purchaser of a full, complete and unconditional written release of the Purchaser (in form satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole discretion) from all liability in respect of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and a dismissal with prejudice of such action, suit, proceeding or claim; or (ii) settle or compromise any action, suit, proceeding or claim in any manner that may adversely affect the Purchaser or obligate the Purchaser to pay any sum or perform any obligation.
(c)    All Costs shall be immediately reimbursable to the Purchaser when and as incurred and, in the event of any litigation, claim or other proceeding, without any requirement of waiting for the ultimate outcome of such litigation, claim or other proceeding, and Indemnitor shall pay to the Purchaser any and all Costs within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Purchaser itemizing and providing documentation to support the amounts thereof incurred to the date of such notice. In addition to any other remedy available for the failure of Indemnitor to periodically pay such Costs, such Costs, if not paid within said thirty-day period, shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) if, and to the extent and from the date that, the Purchaser has paid or has caused the payment of such Costs.
SECTION 3.    REINSTATEMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.

CLARK COUNTY LAS VEGAS STADIUM, LLC
Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement
If at any time all or any part of any payment made by Indemnitor or received by the Purchaser from Indemnitor under or with respect to this Agreement is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, but not limited to, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Indemnitor or the Company), then the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such previous payment made by Indemnitor, or receipt of payment by the Purchaser, and the obligations of Indemnitor hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such previous payment by Indemnitor had never been made.
SECTION 4.    WAIVERS BY INDEMNITOR.
To the extent permitted by law, Indemnitor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of:
(a)    Any right to require the Purchaser to proceed against the Company or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by the Purchaser at any time or to pursue any other remedy in the Purchaser’s power or under any other agreement before proceeding against Indemnitor hereunder;
(b)    The defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder;
(c)    Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of the Purchaser to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons;
(d)    Demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest and all other notices (other than as may be expressly herein required) of any kind, or the lack of any thereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of the Company, the Purchaser, any endorser or creditor of the Company or of Indemnitor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by the Purchaser;
(e)    Any defense based upon an election of remedies by the Purchaser;
(f)    Any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of the assets of Indemnitor;
(g)    Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
(h)    Any duty on the part of the Purchaser to disclose to Indemnitor any facts the Purchaser may now or hereafter know about the Company or the Property, regardless of whether the Purchaser has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Indemnitor intends to assume or have reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Indemnitor or have a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Indemnitor, it being understood and agreed that Indemnitor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the

Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement
financial condition of the Company, of the condition of the Property and of any and all circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Indemnitor hereunder;
(i)    Any lack of notice of disposition or of manner of disposition of any collateral for the Note;
(j)    Any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Operative Agreements;
(k)    Any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the collateral for the Note;
(l)    Any deficiencies in the collateral for the Note or any deficiency in the ability of the Purchaser to collect or to obtain performance from any persons or entities now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed;
(m)    An assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of the Company) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Purchaser to enforce any of its rights, whether now or hereafter required, which the Purchaser may have against Indemnitor or the collateral for the Note;
(n)    Any modifications of the Operative Agreements or any obligation of the Company relating to the Note by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise; and
(o)    Any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by Indemnitors under Section 5(g) hereof, under any other provision hereof, or otherwise.

Indemnitor hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser’s appraisal of the Property is such that the Purchaser is not willing to accept the consequences of the inclusion of Indemnitor’s indemnity set forth herein among the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust and the other Operative Agreements and that the Purchaser would not consent to the Equity Transfer but for the unsecured personal liability undertaken by Indemnitor herein.
(c)    Survival. This Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the exercise of any remedy by the Purchaser under the Deed of Trust or any of the other Operative Agreements, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part of such remedy, the Note is paid or satisfied in full; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover against Indemnitor under this Agreement for an amount in excess of the amount of the Costs.

Indemnity and Guaranty Agreement
(d)    No Subrogation; No Recourse Against the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the satisfaction by Indemnitor of any liability hereunder, Indemnitor shall not have any right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever or any right of recourse to or with respect to the assets or property of the Company or to any collateral for the Note unless and until Indemnitor fully satisfies the payment of the Note, all other amounts due under the Operative Agreements, and the Costs. In connection with the foregoing, Indemnitor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation to the Purchaser against the Company (except as expressly provided above), and Indemnitor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which the Purchaser may have against the Company and any right to participate in any collateral for the Note. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, Indemnitor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of the Company now or hereafter owed to Indemnitor to all indebtedness of the Company to the Purchaser, and agrees with the Purchaser that Indemnitor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from the Company, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the collateral from the Note.

(f)    Rights Cumulative; Payments. The Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights of the Purchaser under the Note, the Note Purchase Agreement and the other Operative Agreements.

Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to require the Purchaser to take or refrain from taking any action referred to herein.
