10.1

Employer's Good Cause Termination. We have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time during the Specified Term hereof for Employer's Good Cause (which term is defined in Section 22). Upon any such termination, we will have no further liability or obligations whatsoever to you under this Agreement except as provided under Sections 10.1.1, 10.1.2, and 10.1.3 below.

	10.1.1		In the event Employer's Good Cause termination is the result of your death during the Specified Term, your beneficiary (as designated by you on our benefit records) will be entitled to receive your salary for a three (3) month period following your death, such amount to be paid at regular payroll intervals.
	10.1.2		In the event Employer's Good Cause termination is the result of your Disability (which term is defined in Section 22), we will pay you (or your beneficiary in the event of your death during the period in which payments are being made) an amount equal to

			your salary for three (3) months following your termination, such amount to be paid at regular payroll intervals, net of payments received by you from any short term disability policy which is either self-insured by us or the premiums of which were paid by us (and not charged as compensation to you).
	10.1.3		You or your beneficiary will be entitled to exercise your vested but unexercised stock options to acquire Company's stock, stock appreciation rights ("SAR") or other stock-based compensation ("Other Right") as of the date of termination, if any, upon compliance with all of the terms and conditions required to exercise such options, SARs or Other Rights.

10.2

Employer's No Cause Termination. We have the right to terminate this Agreement on written notice to you in our sole discretion for any cause we deem sufficient or for no cause, at any time during the Specified Term. Upon such termination, our sole liability to you shall be as follows:

	10.2.1		We will treat you as an inactive employee through the Specified Term and (i) pay your salary for the period remaining in the Specified Term, and (ii) maintain you as a participant in all health and insurance programs in which you and your dependents, if applicable, are then participating (as such programs may be changed by us from time to time for its employees in positions comparable to yours and subject to satisfying the eligibility requirements of such programs to the extent imposed by third party providers) through the first to occur of (x) the end of the Specified Term or (y) the date on which you become eligible to receive health and/or insurance benefits, as applicable from a new employer. However, you would not be eligible for flex or vacation time, discretionary bonus or new grants of stock options, SARs or Other Rights, but (subject to Section 10.5.1 of this Agreement, if applicable) you would continue to vest previously granted stock options, SARs or Other Rights, if any, for the shorter of twelve (12) months from the date you are placed in an inactive status or the remaining period of the Specified Term if you remain in inactive status for such period; and
	10.2.2		You will be entitled to exercise your vested but unexercised stock options to acquire Company stock, SARs or Other Rights, if any, while you are on inactive status and upon termination of your inactive status, upon your compliance with all of the terms and conditions required to exercise such options, SARs or Other Rights.

Upon any such termination, you will continue to be bound by the restrictions in Section 8 above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, while you are in an inactive status, you may be employed by or provide consultation services to a non-Competitor, provided that we will be entitled to offset the compensation being paid by us during the Specified Term by the compensation and/or consultant's fees being paid to you, and provided further, that we will not be required to continue to provide benefits to the extent that you are entitled to receive benefits from

a third party. In addition, at any time after the end of the Restrictive Period, if you are in an inactive status, you may notify us in writing that you desire to terminate your inactive status (an "Employee Inactive Termination Notice") and immediately thereafter we will have no further liability or obligations to you, except under Section 10.2.2 above.

10.3

Employee's Good Cause Termination. You may terminate this Agreement for Employee's Good Cause (which term is defined in Section 22). Prior to any termination under this Section 10.3 being effective, you agree to give us thirty (30) days" advance written notice specifying the facts and circumstances of our alleged breach. During such thirty (30) day period, we may either cure the breach (in which case your notice will be considered withdrawn and this Agreement will continue in full force and effect) or declare that we dispute that Employee's Good Cause exists, in which case this Agreement will continue in full force until the dispute is resolved in accordance with Section 11. In the event this Agreement is terminated under this Section 10.3, you will be entitled to exercise your vested but unexercised stock options to acquire Company stock, SARs or Other Rights, if any, upon your compliance with all the terms and conditions required to exercise such options, SARs or Other Rights, but you will have no further claim against us arising out of such breach. In the event of termination of this Agreement under Section 10.3, the restrictions of Section 8.1 shall no longer apply.

10.4

Employee's No Cause Termination. In the event you terminate your employment under this Agreement without cause, we will have no further liability or obligations whatsoever to you hereunder, except that you will be entitled to exercise your vested but unexercised stock options to acquire Company stock, SARs or Other Rights, if any, upon your compliance with all the terms and conditions required to exercise such options, SARs or Other Rights and all salary through the date of termination; provided, however, that we will be entitled to all of our rights and remedies by reason of such termination, including without limitation, the right to enforce the covenants and agreements contained in Section 8 and our right to recover damages.

10.5

Change in Control. In the event there is a Change in Control of Company (which term is defined in Section 22), then:

10.5.1

In the event this Agreement is terminated on or prior to the first anniversary of a Change of Control: (a) by us under Section 10.1 by reason of your death or disability or under Section 10.2 (Employer's No Cause Termination) or (b) by you under Section 10.3 (Employee's Good Cause Termination), then all of your options, SARs or Other Rights, if any, which would have vested but for such termination during the shorter of twelve (12) months of the date of termination or the remainder of the Specified Term shall become vested and immediately exercisable. However, so long as you remain employed by us after a Change of Control, your options, SARs or Other Rights would not be accelerated, and if your employment was terminated by us under Section 10.1 (Employer's For Cause Termination), other than by reason of death or disability, or by you under Section 10.4 (Employee's No

			Cause Termination), your stock options, SARs or Other Rights would be exercisable only to the extent they were exercisable at the date of termination.
	10.5.2		If the Change of Control results from an exchange of outstanding common stock as a result of which the common stock of MGM MIRAGE is no longer publicly held, then all your options to purchase common stock of MGM MIRAGE, SARs and Other Rights will vest or be exercisable, as applicable, at the time or times they would otherwise have vested or been exercisable for the consideration (cash, stock or otherwise) which the holders of MGM MIRAGE common stock received in such exchange. For example, if immediately prior to the Effective Date, you had vested and exercisable options to acquire 5,000 shares of MGM MIRAGE's common stock and the exchange of stock is one share of common stock of MGM MIRAGE for two shares of common stock of the acquiring entity, then your options will be converted into options to acquire, upon payment of the exercise price, 10,000 shares of the acquiring entity's common stock. If, in addition, you had vested but unexercisable stock options, at the time those options became exercisable, each option would, on exercise and payment of the exercise price, entitle you to receive two shares of the acquiring company's common stock.
	10.5.3		If the Change of Control results from a sale of MGM MIRAGE's outstanding common stock for cash with the result that MGM MIRAGE's common stock is no longer publicly held, then upon the Change of Control, all of your options to purchase common stock of MGM MIRAGE, SARs and Other Rights will vest or be exercisable, as applicable, at the time or times they would otherwise have vested or been exercisable for cash equal to the difference between the purchase price and the exercise price for the options, SARs or Other Rights. For example, if immediately prior to the Change in Control, you have options to acquire 2,000 shares of MGM MIRAGE's common stock at an exercise price of $35, and the purchase price for MGM MIRAGE common stock was $40, then upon the vesting and exercisability of such options you would be entitled to receive $10,000 in full satisfaction of such options (2,000 shares times $5 per share). If, in addition, you had vested but unexercisable stock options, at the time those options became exercisable, you would be entitled to receive $5, net of applicable taxes, for each option that became exercisable in full satisfaction of that option.

	10.6		Survival of Covenants. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except as specifically provided in Section 10.3 with respect to the undertaking contained in Section 8.1, the covenants and agreements contained in Section 8 will survive a termination of this Agreement or of your employment, regardless of the reason for such termination.
	10.7		Acknowledgement Concerning Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Rights. The parties acknowledge that the provisions contained

herein with respect to stock options, SARs or Other Rights are only applicable to stock options, SARs or Other Rights, if any, which are granted to you contemporaneously with, or after the date of this Agreement. With respect to any other stock options, SARs or Other Rights, if any, granted to you prior to the date of this Agreement, such provisions herein shall not be applicable and the provisions originally governing such stock options, SARs or Other Rights shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be altered by this Agreement.

11.

Disputed Claim/Arbitration. In the event of any Disputed Claim (such term in defined in Section 22), such Disputed Claim shall be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes (or its then equivalent). Any arbitration under this Section 11 shall take place in Las Vegas, Nevada. Unless and until the arbitration process is finally resolved in your favor and we thereafter fail to satisfy such award within thirty (30) days of its entry, no Employee's Good Cause exists for purposes of your termination rights pursuant to Section 10.3 with respect to such Disputed Claim. Nothing herein shall preclude or prohibit us from invoking the provisions of Section 10.2, or of our seeking or obtaining injunctive or other equitable relief.

12.

Severability. If any provision hereof is unenforceable, illegal, or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such fact shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement, except in the event a law or court decision, whether on application for declaration, or preliminary injunction or upon final judgment, declares one or more of the provisions of this Agreement that impose restrictions on you unenforceable or invalid because of the geographic scope or time duration of such restriction. In such event, you and we agree that the invalidated restrictions are retroactively modified to provide for the maximum geographic scope and time duration which would make such provisions enforceable and valid. This Section 12 does not limit our rights to seek damages or such additional relief as may be allowed by law and/or equity in respect to any breach by you of the enforceable provisions of this Agreement.

13.

Attorneys" Fees. In the event suit is brought to enforce, or to recover damages suffered as a result of breach of this Agreement the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys fees and costs of suit.

14.

No Waiver of Breach or Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of you or us in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

15.

Amendment or Modification. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by you and a duly authorized member of our senior management. No consent to any departure by you from any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same is signed by a duly authorized member of our senior management. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

16.

Governing Law. The laws of the State of Nevada shall govern the validity, construction and interpretation of this Agreement, and except for Disputed Claims, the courts of the State of Nevada shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim with respect to this Agreement.
