     Reference is made to (a) the Operating Agreement of the Company (the “Operating Agreement”), adopted pursuant to the Contribution and Adoption Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2000, among the Company, Boyd Sub and MR Sub (the Operating Agreement, taken together with the amendments thereto pursuant to this Agreement, is sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “Amended Operating Agreement”), and (b) the proposed Stipulation of Settlement (as hereinafter defined).

Upon such Transfer, the Trust shall, without necessity of any approval, consent or acknowledgment by Boyd Sub, (i) be admitted as a Member of the Company in the place of MR Sub, (ii) succeed to the Capital Account of MR Sub and (iii) have all rights of a Member under the Amended Operating Agreement and all rights under the Amended Operating Agreement incident to the ownership of the Subject Interest, and the Trustee (as hereinafter defined) shall have the power to exercise all such rights.

     2. Boyd Sub acknowledges that the purpose of the Trust is to provide for the sale of the Subject Interest (and certain related assets contemplated by the Stipulation of Settlement) and the remittance of the proceeds therefrom to MGM MIRAGE (the economic beneficiary of the Trust) or its designated subsidiary or Affiliate. The Company and Boyd Sub agree to cooperate, as may reasonably be requested by MGM MIRAGE or the Trustee, in connection with efforts to market and (subject to the right of first refusal with respect to Interests under Section 11.4 of the Amended Operating Agreement), sell the Subject Interest and such related assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Amended Operating Agreement or otherwise, Boyd Sub:
          (a) agrees that the Company shall, and Boyd Sub shall and shall cause the Company and its subsidiaries to, (i) afford to MGM MIRAGE and the Trustee (as applicable), their respective representatives and advisors, and entities and persons to whom the Subject Interest is marketed on behalf of MGM MIRAGE or the Trustee (“Bidders”), and the respective

 


 

representatives, advisors and financing sources of Bidders (“Bidder Team Members”), such access to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ properties, contracts, commitments, ledgers, books and records (subject to Section 3(b) of this Agreement), and to appropriate officers, employees, representatives and accountants of the Company and its subsidiaries as reasonably designated by the Company, in each case, as may reasonably be requested by MGM MIRAGE or the Trustee to facilitate the investigation, marketing, valuation and sale (and financing for a buyer’s acquisition) of the Subject Interest, (ii) direct appropriate members of senior management of the Company and its subsidiaries, as reasonably designated by the Company, and representatives of the Company’s independent auditors, to participate in a reasonable number of meetings and due diligence sessions with Bidders, Bidder Team Members, MGM MIRAGE, the Trustee, and their respective and representatives and advisors, in connection with such investigation, marketing, valuation, sale and financing, and (iii) cooperate with and, as may reasonably be requested by MGM MIRAGE or the Trustee, assist MGM MIRAGE and the Trustee, in providing information to be utilized in the preparation of marketing materials with respect to the Subject Interest, and disclosure schedules and similar documents in connection with any agreement to sell the Subject Interest;
          (b) (i) hereby approves and consents to the Transfer by the Trust of the Subject Interest to a Third Party, subject only to the requirements of Section 11.4 of the Amended Operating Agreement, and (ii) agrees that upon a sale of the Subject Interest by the Trust, the transferee of the Subject Interest shall (subject to the requirements under the New Jersey Casino Control Act, but without necessity of any approval, consent or acknowledgment by Boyd Sub) be admitted as a Member of the Company in the place of the Trust and have all rights of a Member under the Amended Operating Agreement and all rights under the Amended Operating Agreement incident to the ownership of the Subject Interest and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trust, MGM MIRAGE and MR Sub shall be entitled to assign their respective rights under the Amended Operating Agreement and in and to related assets, in whole or in part in their discretion, to such transferee; and
          (c) agrees that, if requested to do so by the Trust or the transferee of the Subject Interest, the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, shall elect to adjust the basis of the assets of the Company for federal income tax purposes in accordance with Section 754 of the Code for the Company’s taxable year in which the sale of the Subject Interest by the Trust occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 7.8(a) of the Operating Agreement remains in effect and is not limited by this Agreement.
     3. (a) In connection with any disclosure by MGM MIRAGE or the Trustee to a Bidder of Company confidential information, MGM MIRAGE or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall require such Bidder to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information on terms customary for a sale transaction comparable to the sale transaction contemplated herein and in the Stipulation of Settlement, and the Company shall be a third-party beneficiary of each such confidentiality agreement. MGM MIRAGE or the Trustee shall make good faith efforts to negotiate such confidentiality agreement and the initial draft of such confidentiality agreement provided to each Bidder shall be based on the form of confidentiality agreement agreed to as of the date hereof by the parties hereto and attached as Exhibit A. Following execution of each such confidentiality agreement, Boyd Sub shall be provided a copy thereof.

          (a) Boyd Sub shall not be required to provide to Bidders (i) the confidential patron database of the Company, or any summary thereof or detailed information related thereto (provided that Boyd Sub shall in any event make available the total number of patrons in the patron database of the Company, the geographic breakdown (reflected on a percentage basis) of patrons identified in such database and semi-annual reports on the number of patrons added to the patron database); (ii) any individual or departmental salaries and wages, other than as may be included in any union collective bargaining agreement; (iii) confidential prospective marketing strategies and plans, or the effectiveness or results of the implementation thereof; (iv) confidential settlement agreements (provided that Boyd Sub shall in any event make available information relating to liabilities relating to such settlement agreements and a fair description of the claims, their background and status (however the names (but not a fair description) of the individual parties may be redacted)); (v) confidential security or surveillance reports of the Company’s hotel and casino facility, except for information that would reasonably be expected to be material to an evaluation of the Subject Interest; and (vi) vendor price lists and purchase contracts (provided that Boyd Sub shall in any event make available (A) a summary of material terms of purchase contracts that are relevant to the evaluation of the Subject Interest by the Bidder, (B) purchase contracts providing for payments by or to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in excess of $1 million in any fiscal year and $3 million in the aggregate during the term thereof, or that include non-competition, non-solicitation or exclusivity covenants and (C) other contracts that are material to the Company or its subsidiaries, their business and operations). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in connection with late stage negotiations between MGM MIRAGE or the Trustee and one or more bona fide Bidders (as determined in the respective good faith discretion of MGM MIRAGE or the Trustee provided that no Bidder shall be deemed bona fide if they have not submitted a bid in writing, whether or not conditional) relating to a possible sale of the Subject Interest (a “ Determination ”), following reasonable notice to Boyd Sub of such Determination, meetings shall be promptly scheduled to provide a reasonable level of detail and information, including appropriate documents, data or other materials withheld pursuant to clauses (ii), (iv) and (vi) of the preceding sentence, to each such Bidder’s outside legal counsel, accountants and other professional outside advisors in supervised data rooms, provided that such outside legal counsel, accountants and other professional outside advisors may not photocopy such documents, data and other materials. Likewise, appropriate officers, employees, representatives and accountants of the Company shall meet with each such bona fide Bidder to discuss matters related to (iii) above, at a level of detail that is not likely to divulge important trade secrets of the Company, but rather is intended to give a bona fide Bidder an overview of marketing issues at a level that is customary and appropriate under the circumstances for the evaluation of a purchase of the Subject Interest.
     4. Boyd Sub, and any Affiliates thereof, shall not incur liability to MGM MIRAGE (or any of its Affiliates), the Trust, any Bidder or any transferee of the Subject Interest from the Trust, in each case, resulting from the provision by MGM MIRAGE of information about the Company or the Subject Interest to Bidders in connection with MGM MIRAGE’s efforts to market and sell the Subject Interest, except in respect of information provided by Boyd Sub or the Company, and provided, however, that the foregoing shall not waive or limit any liability that Boyd Sub (and Affiliates thereof) may have that is unrelated to the provision of such information in connection with such efforts to market and sell.

          (b) following the sale of the Subject Interest by the Trust and the remittance of the proceeds of such sale to MGM MIRAGE or MR Sub, MGM MIRAGE shall cause the Subject Amount (as hereinafter defined) to be paid to Boyd Sub. The “Subject Amount” shall mean: (i) if a Trust Distribution shall not have been received by the Trust, an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Net Proceeds Portion (as hereinafter defined) and (B) $10,000,000; and (ii) if a Trust Distribution shall have been received by the Trust, an amount (if any) equal to the positive number excess (if any) of the Net Proceeds Portion minus $10,000,000. The “Net Proceeds Portion” shall mean an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the cash sale price proceeds received by MGM MIRAGE or MR Sub from a sale of the Subject Interest by the Trust.
