The amount of Working Capital of the MGM Acquired Entities set forth on the Estimated Working Capital Statement shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Adjusted Working Capital." Purchaser (and its independent accountants) shall be afforded the opportunity

to review and participate in the preparation of the Estimated Working Capital Statement. The "Closing Date Purchase Price" shall be equal to $215,000,000 (the "Base Price"), adjusted as follows: (i) if the Adjusted Working Capital is greater than the Target Working Capital, then the Closing Date Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such excess; or (ii) if the Adjusted Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital, then the Closing Date Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of such deficiency.

Section 2.5 Post-Closing Adjustment Procedures to the Closing Date Purchase Price.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than sixty days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth the Working Capital of the MGM Acquired Entities as of the Closing Date (the "Working Capital Statement"). The Working Capital Statement shall be prepared by Purchaser using the same types of management judgments, estimates, forecasts, policies, opinions and allocations, including reserve calculations, that were used for the Target Working Capital calculation in Schedule IA. Following the Closing, each of Purchaser and Seller shall give the other Person and any independent accountants of such other Person access at all reasonable times to the properties, books, records and personnel of the MGM Acquired Entities relating to periods prior to the Closing for purposes of preparing and reviewing the Working Capital Statement. Seller shall have thirty days following delivery to Seller of the Working Capital Statement during which to notify Purchaser in writing of any dispute of any item contained in the Working Capital Statement, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute and the Working Capital proposed by Seller (the "Dispute Notice"). If Seller fails to notify Purchaser in writing of any dispute within such thirty-day period, the Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to be a "Final Statement." In the event that Seller shall so notify Purchaser of any dispute on or prior to such thirtieth day, any amounts contained in the Working Capital Statement that are not disputed by Seller in the Dispute Notice shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of calculating the Actual Working Capital. For a period of fifteen days following the delivery of the Dispute Notice to Purchaser, the President and Chief Financial Officer (or the person or persons performing similar functions) of each of Purchaser and Seller shall attempt to resolve in good faith the amounts disputed in the Dispute Notice. During such fifteen-day period, Purchaser shall be permitted to review the working papers of Seller and Seller's auditors relating to the Estimated Working Capital Statement and the Dispute Notice, and Seller shall be permitted to review the working papers of Purchaser and Purchaser's auditors relating to the Working Capital Statement. Amounts resolved by such attempts within such fifteen-day period shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of calculating the Actual Working Capital.

(b) If Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve any such dispute prior to the end of such fifteen-day period, an accounting firm mutually acceptable to both Purchaser and Seller (the "Independent Accounting Firm") shall be deemed appointed by Purchaser and Seller to resolve such dispute and such determination shall be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement. If Purchaser and Seller cannot mutually agree on the selection of the Independent Accounting Firm, Purchaser and Seller shall submit to such other Person's independent accountants the name of a nationally recognized accounting firm which does not at the time and has not in the prior two years provided audit or other attestation services to any of the MGM Parties or Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates, and the Independent Accounting Firm shall be selected by lot from these two firms by the independent accountants of Purchaser and Seller. The Independent Accounting Firm may not make any determination with respect to any matter not set forth in the Dispute Notice and the Independent Accounting Firm's determination shall not be more than the Working Capital set forth in the Dispute Notice or less than the amount of the Working Capital of the MGM Acquired Entities as of the Closing Date set forth in the Working Capital Statement. Each of Purchaser and Seller and their respective independent accountants shall give the Independent Accounting Firm access at all reasonable times to the properties, books, records and personnel of the MGM Acquired Entities relating to periods prior to the Closing for purposes of reviewing the Estimated Working Capital Statement, the Dispute Notice and the Working Capital Statement and calculating the Actual Working Capital. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort to perform its services within thirty days of submission of the Estimated Working Capital Statement, the Dispute Notice and the Working Capital Statement to it and, in any case, as promptly as practicable after such submission. The Working Capital Statement, as modified by resolution of any disputes by Purchaser and Seller or by the Independent Accounting Firm, shall be deemed to be a "Final Statement."

(c) Any expenses relating to the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by Purchaser and Seller in proportion to the percentage of the dollar value of the disputed items prevailed upon by each Person. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall pay all advisors' fees, charges and expenses incurred by such Person in connection with the dispute.

Section 2.6 Post-Closing Adjustment to the Closing Date Purchase Price.

(a) The Closing Date Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows: (i) if the Actual Working Capital is greater than the Adjusted Working Capital, then the Closing Date Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such excess; or (ii) if the Actual Working Capital is less than the Adjusted Working Capital, then the Closing Date Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of such deficiency.

(b) To the extent the Actual Working Capital is: (i) greater than the Adjusted Working Capital, Purchaser shall, within ten days of Purchaser's receipt of the Final Statement, deliver by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Seller in writing for the Closing Date Purchase Price, an amount equal to such excess; or (ii) less than the Adjusted Working Capital, Seller shall, within ten days

of Seller's receipt of the Final Statement, deliver by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Purchaser in writing (no later than two Business Days prior to the expiration of such ten day period), an amount equal to such deficiency, in either case without interest.

Section 5.20 Termination Fee. In the event that (a) each of the closing conditions set forth in each of Section 6.1 and Section 6.3 have been satisfied and (b) the closing conditions set forth in Section 6.2 have been satisfied or waived by the MGM Parties or in the case of (a) and (b) would have been satisfied but for Purchaser failing to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the MGM Parties shall have the right to give written notice to Purchaser of their intention to terminate this Agreement if Purchaser fails to close (or be prepared to close) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or prior to the fifth Business Day following receipt of such written notice and as promptly as practicable following termination (which shall occur automatically on such fifth Business Day unless agreed to otherwise by the Parties in writing) Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, in same day funds to Seller $10,000,000 (the "Termination Fee").

In the event Seller receives payment of the Termination Fee, Seller, and Seller on behalf of its Affiliates, agrees to forego and not to pursue (or aid any other Person in pursuing) or assign any allegation, claim, right or remedy, whether legal or equitable, including specific performance, against, directly or indirectly, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, Timothy Poster, Thomas Breitling or any of their respective agents, representatives and counsel for Purchaser's failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The obligation of Purchaser to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 5.20 shall be guaranteed by Timothy Poster and Thomas Breitling pursuant to the Guaranty. Subject to the occurrence of the matters set forth in subsection (a) and subsection (b) of the first sentence of this Section 5.20, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the MGM Parties would sustain substantial damages in the event the sale of the Shares to Purchaser as contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated as a result of Purchaser's failure to close and (ii) Seller's actual damages in the event the sale of the Shares to Purchaser as contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated as a result of Purchaser's failure to close would be difficult or impractical to determine, and the Termination Fee represents a reasonable estimate of the harm likely to be suffered by Seller in the event the sale of the Shares to Purchaser as contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated as a result of Purchaser's failure to close.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Parent and its Affiliates may conduct general searches for employees or independent contractors by use of advertisements or the media that are not directly targeted at the employees or independent contractors of the MGM Acquired Entities, Purchaser or any of Purchaser's Affiliates engaged in the business or the casino and gaming activities and operations of GNLV or GNL.

Section 7.3 Indemnification Procedures. All claims for indemnification by an Indemnified Party under Section 7.2 shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under Section 7.2 is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than a Seller Indemnified Party or a Purchaser Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving any such Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing as soon as practicable within the Dispute Period whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense and by counsel of its own choosing, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, to defend against such Third Party Claim; provided further that if, under applicable standards of professional conduct a conflict on any significant issue between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party exists in respect of such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable fees and expenses of one additional counsel to be retained in order to resolve such conflict, promptly upon presentation by the Indemnified Party of invoices or other documentation evidencing such amounts to be reimbursed.

(i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that it desires to defend against such Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to defend and protect the interests of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party, prior to or during the period in which the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such matter, may take such reasonable actions as the Indemnified Party deems necessary to preserve any and all rights with respect to such matter, without such actions being construed as a waiver of the Indemnified Party's rights to defense and indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to any settlement that (A) does not contain an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from the subject matter of the settlement, (B) imposes any liabilities or obligations on the Indemnified Party and (C) with respect to any non-monetary provision of such settlement, could, in the Indemnified Party's reasonable judgment, have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of the Indemnified Party (for purposes of this subsection (iii) an effect shall be deemed "material" if it involves $100,000 or more), (iv) the Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonable (during regular business

hours) with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the investigation, defense and settlement thereof and (v) the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed that it will indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to, and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in, the provisions of this Article VII.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that it desires to defend against such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in any such defense at its sole cost and expense, but, in such case, the Indemnified Party shall control the investigation and defense and may settle or take any other actions the Indemnified Party deems reasonably advisable without in any way waiving or otherwise affecting the Indemnified Party's rights to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.

(iii) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree to make available to each other, their counsel and other representatives, all information and documents available to them which relate to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, the MGM Acquired Entities and their respective employees also agree to render to each other such assistance and cooperation as may reasonably be required to ensure the proper and adequate defense of such Third Party Claim.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any event, if the Indemnified Party desires to participate in any defense of a Third Party Claim it may do so at its sole cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control, pay or settle any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party shall have undertaken to defend so long as the Indemnified Party shall also waive any right to indemnification therefor by the Indemnifying Party.

(b) In the event that an Indemnified Party should have a claim against the Indemnifying Party hereunder which it determines to assert, but which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall send an Indemnity Notice with respect to such claim to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the Dispute Period during which to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of any good faith objections it has to the Indemnified Party's Indemnity Notice, setting forth in reasonable detail each of the Indemnifying Party's objections thereto. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver such written notice of objection within the Dispute Period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted responsibility for the prompt payment of the Indemnified Party's claims for indemnification set forth in the Indemnity Notice, and shall have no further right to contest the validity of such indemnification claims. If the Indemnifying Party does deliver such written notice of objection within the Dispute Period, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such dispute within the Resolution Period and if not resolved through

negotiations within the Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 7.3(c).

(c) Any dispute submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) shall be finally and conclusively determined by the decision of a board of arbitration consisting of three members (hereinafter sometimes called the "Board of Arbitration") selected as hereinafter provided. Each of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall select one member and the third member shall be selected by mutual agreement of the other members, or if the other members fail to reach agreement on a third member within twenty days after the selection of the second arbitrator, such third member shall thereafter be selected by the American Arbitration Association upon application made to it for a third member possessing expertise or experience appropriate to the dispute jointly by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. The Board of Arbitration shall meet in Las Vegas, Nevada or such other place as a majority of the members of the Board of Arbitration determines more appropriate, and shall reach and render a decision in writing (concurred in by a majority of the members of the Board of Arbitration) with respect to the amount, if any, which the Indemnifying Party is required to pay to the Indemnified Party in respect of the Indemnified Party's claims for indemnification set forth in the Indemnity Notice. In connection with rendering its decision, the Board of Arbitration shall adopt and follow such rules and procedures as a majority of the members of the Board of Arbitration deems necessary or appropriate. To the extent practical, decisions of the Board of Arbitration shall be rendered no more than thirty days following commencement of proceedings with respect thereto. The Board of Arbitration shall cause its written decision to be delivered to the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party. Any decision made by the Board of Arbitration (either prior to or after the expiration of such thirty day period) shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and entitled to be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law and entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party to any arbitration shall bear its own expenses in relation thereto, including but not limited to such party's attorneys' fees, if any, and the expenses and fees of the Board of Arbitration shall be divided between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the same proportion as the portion of the related claim determined by the Board of Arbitration to be payable to the Indemnified Party bears to the portion of such claim determined not to be so payable.

(d) Claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 shall not be made after the expiration of the representations and warranties as provided for in Section 7.1; provided, however, that in the event a Claim Notice or an Indemnity Notice shall have been given within the applicable survival period, the representation or warranty that is the subject of such indemnification claim shall survive until such time as such claim is finally resolved.

Section 7.4 Threshold for Materiality. For purposes of this Article VII, an event shall be deemed "material" or a "Material Adverse Effect" (as such terms are used in any representation or warranty contained in Article III or IV) and shall be deemed to have occurred, if the aggregate of all Losses relating to any such representation or warranty shall exceed $250,000; provided that if the amount of any Loss relating to a

representation or warranty shall exceed $100,000, such amount in excess of $100,000 shall count towards the threshold in Section 7.2(c)(i) in respect of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or Section 7.2(d)(i) in respect of the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable; provided, however, that solely with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12, an event shall be deemed a "Material Adverse Effect" (as such term is used in Section 3.12) and shall be deemed to have occurred, if the aggregate of all Losses relating to a claim exceeds the dollar amount of the litigation reserve established in the Final Statement for such claim; provided that if the amount of any Loss relating to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.12 shall exceed the litigation reserve established in the Final Statement for such claim, such amount in excess of the litigation reserve established in the Final Statement for such claim shall count towards the threshold in Section 7.2(c)(i) in respect of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties. Solely for purposes of Article III, the term "Material Adverse Effect" shall apply to the non-disclosure or qualification of a particular matter, and no such matter shall be aggregated with any other matter in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect would reasonably be expected to have occurred; provided, however, if any such matters, when aggregated, total $1,000,000 or more, then all such matters shall be aggregated in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect would reasonably be expected to have occurred; provided that this sentence shall not modify or interpret Section 6.3(a).

ARTICLE VIII

TAX MATTERS

Section 8.1 Tax Indemnification.

(a) Parent and Seller shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties against, and shall reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses arising out of, based upon or relating or attributable to (without duplication):

(i) all Taxes imposed on the MGM Acquired Entities under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (and corresponding provisions of state, local or foreign Law) as a result of being a member of any federal, state, local or foreign consolidated, unitary, combined or similar group for any taxable period ending on or before, or that includes, the Closing Date;

(ii) all Taxes imposed on the MGM Acquired Entities relating or attributable to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date ("Pre-Closing Periods") and, with respect to any period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (in each case, a "Straddle Period"), the portion of such Straddle Period deemed to end on and include the Closing Date (in the manner determined pursuant to Section 8.1(b)); provided, however, that Parent and Seller shall be liable only to the extent that such Taxes are in excess of the amount, if any, reserved for such Taxes on the

financial statements of the MGM Acquired Entities and taken into account in determining the Final Purchase Price;

(iii) all Taxes relating or attributable to the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement, including the Distributions and the Elections;

(iv) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.7 of this Agreement; and

(v) the breach by the MGM Parties or the failure by any such entity to perform (or cause to have performed) any of the covenants made by them under this Agreement relating to Taxes.

(b) For purposes of this Section 8.1, the portion of any Taxes that are allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be:

(i) in the case of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis, the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period; and

(ii) in the case of Taxes not described in (i) the amount that would be payable if the taxable year or period ended on the Closing Date based on an interim closing of the books.

Section 8.2 Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(a) Parent and Seller shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all Tax Returns required to be filed by the MGM Acquired Entities for taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date (such Tax Returns, the "Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns"). All such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent with prior practices, except as required by applicable Law. If any such Pre-Closing Tax Returns are due after the Closing, the Parent and Seller shall submit drafts of such returns to the Purchaser for its review at least ten days prior to the due date of any such Tax Return; provided, however, that such drafts of any such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return shall be subject to Purchaser's review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Purchaser shall cause each of the MGM Acquired Entities to furnish information to Parent and Seller, as reasonably requested in writing by Parent or Seller, to allow Parent and Seller to satisfy their respective obligations under this Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.4(b). Purchaser shall file such Pre-Closing Period Tax Returns due after the Closing Date with the appropriate taxing authorities.

(b) Purchaser shall prepare and timely file or cause each of the MGM Acquired Entities to prepare and timely file, all Tax Returns required to be filed by such entities for all Straddle Periods (such Tax Returns, the "Straddle Period Tax Returns"). Purchaser

shall deliver drafts of all such Straddle Period Tax Returns to Parent and Seller for their review at least ten days prior to the due date of any such Tax Return (taking into account valid extensions and shall notify Parent and Seller of Purchaser's calculation of their share of the Taxes for such Straddle Period (determined in accordance with Section 8.1(b)); provided, however, that such drafts of any such Straddle Period Tax Returns and such calculations of Parent and Seller's share of the Tax Liability for such Straddle Period (determined in accordance with Section 8.1(b)) shall be subject to Parent and Seller's review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Parent or Seller disputes any item on such Tax Return, it shall notify Purchaser (by written notice within ten days of receipt of Purchaser's calculation) of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection. If Parent and Seller do not object by written notice within such period, Purchaser's calculation of Parent and Seller's share of the Taxes for such Straddle Period shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for all purposes hereof.

(c) The Parties shall act in good faith to resolve any dispute prior to the date on which the Tax Return is required to be filed. If the Parties cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm as promptly as practicable. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be apportioned and paid equally by Seller and Purchaser.

Section 8.3 Accounting and Tax Records. Parent and Seller shall provide Purchaser with all Tax Returns (and other information relating to Taxes) of or relating to MGM Acquired Entities reasonably requested by Purchaser. Purchaser shall keep and maintain all such Tax Returns (and other information relating to Taxes) and shall make available to Parent and Seller such Tax Returns and information as reasonably required by Parent or Seller to allow Parent and Seller to satisfy their respective obligations under Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.4(b).

Section 8.4 Tax Audits.

(a) After the Closing, Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand (the "Recipient"), shall promptly notify the other Person in writing upon receipt by the Recipient or any of its Affiliates of any written notice of any pending or threatened audit or assessment, suit, proposed adjustment, deficiency, dispute, administrative or judicial proceeding or other similar claim ("Tax Claim") received by the Recipient from any Tax authority or any other Person with respect to Losses for which the Parent and Seller are liable pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.5; provided, however, that a failure by the Purchaser to give such notice shall not affect the Purchaser Indemnified Parties' rights to indemnification under this Article VIII unless (and then solely to the extent) that the Parent and Seller are materially prejudiced as a consequence of such failure.

(b) Parent and Seller shall control the conduct, through their own counsel at their sole expense and with the participation of Purchaser, of any Tax Claim involving any asserted Liability with respect or relating solely to any Pre-Closing Period. Parent or Seller shall have all rights to settle, compromise and/or concede such Tax Claim and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate and shall cause the MGM Acquired Entities to

reasonably cooperate; provided, however, that Parent or Seller shall not settle, compromise and/or concede such Tax Claim in a manner that would adversely affect Purchaser or the MGM Acquired Entities without the consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) With respect to any Tax Claim that involves any Straddle Period, Purchaser shall control the conduct of any such Tax Claim, through counsel of Purchaser's own choosing with participation by the Parent and Seller (at Parent or Seller's expense) and Purchaser shall have all rights to settle, compromise and/or concede such Tax Claim and Parent and Seller shall reasonably cooperate; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not settle, compromise and/or concede such Tax Claim in a manner that would adversely affect Parent or Seller without the consent of Parent and Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 8.5 Transfer Taxes. The Purchaser, on the one hand, and Parent and Seller, on the other hand, shall, each pay or cause to be paid one-half of all sales, use, real property transfer, real property gains, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, recording, filing or similar Taxes, if any, together with any interest thereon, penalties, fines, costs, fees, additions to Tax or additional amounts with respect thereto (collectively, "Transfer Taxes") incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares. The Person with primary responsibility under applicable Law for filing Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes shall be responsible for preparing and timely filing any Tax Returns required with respect to any such Transfer Taxes.

Section 8.6 Section 338(h)(10) Election.

(a) Parent, on behalf of Seller, shall join Purchaser in jointly making a timely election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any comparable elections under state and local income Tax Law) with respect to GNLV (the "Elections"). Parent and Purchaser shall not make an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (or any comparable elections under state or local Tax Law) with respect to GNL and no other election shall be made by or at the request of Parent or Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser on the other, with respect to the purchase of the MGM Acquired Entities to the extent such election would affect the Tax Liability of the other party without such party's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) In connection with the Elections, reasonably promptly after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide to Parent and Seller a proposed allocation of the Final Purchase Price (as defined for federal income Tax purposes) among the assets of GNLV, which allocations shall be made in accordance with Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations (the "Allocation Statement"). Within ten days following such provision, Parent and Seller shall have the right to object to the Allocation Statement (by written notice to the Purchaser), and if either so objects, it shall notify Purchaser (in such written notice) of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection. If Parent and Seller do not object by written notice within such period, the Allocation Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon, and final and conclusive, for all purposes of this Agreement. Parent, Seller and Purchaser shall act

in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which any of the Elections is required to be filed with the appropriate Tax authority. If Parent, Seller and Purchaser cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm as promptly as practicable. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be apportioned and paid equally by Seller and Purchaser. Except with respect to any subsequent adjustments to the Final Purchase Price (which shall be allocated using the mechanism for allocating Final Purchase Price in this Section 8.6), Parent, Seller and Purchaser, and their respective Affiliates, (i) shall be bound by the determinations and the Allocation Statement determined pursuant to this Section 8.6(b) consistently therewith for purposes of determining any Taxes, (ii) shall prepare and file all Tax Returns to be filed with any Tax authority in a manner consistent with the Allocation Statement and the Elections and (iii) shall take no position inconsistent with the Allocation Statement or any Election in any Tax Return, any proceeding before any Tax authority or otherwise. Except as agreed to by Parent, Seller and Purchaser, none of Parent, Seller or Purchaser shall revoke or modify an Election. In the event that the Allocation Statement is disputed by any Tax authority, the Person receiving notice of such dispute shall promptly notify and consult with the other Parties concerning resolution of such dispute.

(c) Each of Parent, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in the preparation and timely filing of (i) Form 8023 and any comparable state or local forms or reports, and (ii) to the extent permissible by or required by Law, any corrections, amendments, or supplements (or additional forms or reports) thereto (including any supplements, amendments, forms or reports arising as a result of any adjustments to the Final Purchase Price).

Section 8.7 Tax Sharing Contracts. As of the Closing, all Tax sharing Contracts, with respect to or involving the MGM Acquired Entities shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, none of the MGM Acquired Entities shall have any further rights or Liabilities under any such Contract.

Section 8.8 Payments. Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII, any amounts owed by any Person to any other Person under this Article VIII shall be paid in cash within five days' notice from such other Person.

Section 8.9 Conflicts; Survival. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the Parties set forth in this Article VIII shall (a) be unconditional and absolute, (b) remain in full force and effect indefinitely and (c) not be subject to any limitations in Article VII; provided that the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.7 shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations; provided further in the event notice for indemnification under Section 8.1(a)(iv) only shall have been given within the applicable survival period, the representation or warranty that is the subject of such indemnification claim shall survive until such time as such claim is finally resolved. In the event of a conflict between this Article VIII and any other provision of this Agreement, this Article VIII shall govern and control.

Section 8.10 Tax Treatment. The Parties agree to treat any payment made pursuant to Article VII or VIII as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

Section 8.11 Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any income Tax refunds that are received by any of the MGM Acquired Entities, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Purchaser or any of the MGM Acquired Entities becomes entitled, that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date (but only to the extent such amounts are in excess of the amount, if any, of Tax receivables and offsets to Tax reserves on the financial statements of the MGM Acquired Entities) shall be for the account of Parent, and the Purchaser shall pay over to Parent (a) any such cash refund within fifteen days after receipt thereof and (b) the amount of Tax savings realized by Purchaser or the MGM Acquired Entities at the time the Tax Return to which such credit relates is filed by Purchaser or the MGM Acquired Entities. Any Tax refunds that are received by Parent or any of its Affiliates, and any amounts credited against Tax to which Parent or any of its Affiliates becomes entitled, that relate to Taxes of the MGM Acquired Entities for Tax periods or portions thereof after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Purchaser, and Parent or its Affiliates shall pay over to Purchaser (a) any such cash refund within fifteen days after receipt thereof and (b) the amount of Tax savings realized by Parent or any of its Affiliates at the time the Tax Return to which such credit relates is filed by Parent or any of its Affiliates.

(f) by the MGM Parties if any of the conditions to the obligation of the MGM Parties set forth in Section 6.2 shall have become incapable of fulfillment and shall not have been waived by the MGM Parties in writing; provided, however, that the MGM Parties shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(f) if any of the MGM Parties is in breach in any material respect of its representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement; or

(g) by the MGM Parties, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, if a Governmental Entity shall have issued a nonappealable, final Governmental Order or taken any other nonappealable final action, in each case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Closing and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section or Sections, such reference shall be to a Section or Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation." Words used in the singular form in this Agreement shall be deemed to import the plural, and vice versa, as the sense may require. The phrases "the date of this Agreement", "the date hereof," and terms of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to refer to June 24, 2003. As used in this Agreement, "knowledge" means with respect to a Person other than an individual, the knowledge of any director, executive officer or key employee of such Person. Any such individual shall be deemed to have "knowledge" of a particular fact or other matter if: (a) such individual is actually aware of such fact or other matter; or (b) such individual could be expected to discover or otherwise become aware of such fact or other matter in the ordinary course of performing such individual's employment duties in a prudent manner.

Section 10.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely in Nevada, without regard to any applicable conflicts of Law, except to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Gaming Laws apply.

Section 10.5 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada or any court of the State of Nevada located in Clark County in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and agrees that any such action, suit or proceeding shall be brought only in such court; provided, however, that such consent to jurisdiction is solely for the

purpose referred to in this Section 10.5 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to the jurisdiction of said courts or in the State of Nevada other than for such purpose. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such a court. Each of the Parties further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 10.6 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in performing covenants and agreements under this Agreement.

Section 10.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of each of the other Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser reasonably determines that the assignment by the Purchaser of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to another Person Affiliated with the Purchaser would (a) reduce the cost of Financing to the Purchaser, (b) facilitate the placement of the Financing or (c) reduce Taxes associated with the Purchaser's ownership, operation or disposition of the MGM Acquired Entities, Purchaser shall have the right to assign all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement, including the right to enforce all of the terms of this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Purchaser without the prior written consent of the MGM Parties; provided that such assignee expressly agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; provided further no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser from its obligations hereunder unless the MGM Parties expressly agree. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective assigns.

Section 10.8 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified by the Parties except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties and (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 10.9.

Section 10.9 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, the Parties, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors or similar governing body (may, to the extent legally allowed), (a) extend the time for or waive the performance of any of the covenants, obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of any of the Parties to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on its behalf. The failure of any of the Parties to assert any of its rights under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 10.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of (a) Article VII with respect to Indemnified Parties, (b) Article VIII with respect to Purchaser Indemnified Parties and (c) Section 10.14, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or

be construed to give any Person, other than the Parties and such assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder. All references herein to the enforceability of agreements with third parties, the existence or non-existence of third-party rights, the absence of breaches or defaults by third parties, or similar matters or statements, are intended only to allocate rights and risks among the Parties and were not intended to be admissions against interests, give rise to any inference or proof of accuracy, be admissible against any Party by any non-Party, or give rise to any claim or benefit to any non-Party.

Section 10.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule, the Schedules and the other writings referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto that form a part hereof constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 10.12 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not effected in any manner materially adverse to any of the Parties. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, including facsimile counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.14 Limitation of Liability. The Parties acknowledge that neither Kirk Kerkorian nor Tracinda Corporation, individually or collectively, is a party to this Agreement or any of the other documents executed on the Closing Date. The Parties further acknowledge that neither Mr. Kerkorian nor Tracinda Corporation shall have any Liability whatsoever with respect to this Agreement. Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree that in the event (a) there is any alleged breach or default or breach or default by any Party under this Agreement or any such document or (b) any Party has or may have any claim arising from or relating to the terms of this Agreement or any such document, no Party shall commence any proceedings or otherwise seek to impose any Liability whatsoever against Mr. Kerkorian or Tracinda Corporation by reason of such alleged breach, default or claim.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Agreement to be signed by their respective duly authorized officers as of the date first written above.
