	 	Re:	Amendment to Employment Letter 

 Dear
John: 
 Reference is hereby made to that certain employment offer letter between you and Las Vegas Sands Corp. (the
“Company”), dated as of April 15, 2011 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Employment Letter”). As set forth below, you and the Company have agreed to amend the Employment Letter to clarify its compliance with the
provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder. 
 Accordingly, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, you and the Company hereby agree as follows, effective December 31, 2012: 

The Employment Letter is amended by adding the following language immediately preceding the penultimate paragraph thereof: 

“Section 409A of the Code. 
 (a)     Separate Payments. For purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder
(“Section 409A”), each of the payments that may be made under this letter are designated as separate payments. 
 (b)     General; No Indemnity. It is intended that the provisions of this letter comply with Section 409A, and all provisions of this letter shall be construed and
interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in this letter, you shall be solely responsible and liable for the
satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on or for your account in connection with this letter (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Company nor any affiliate shall have any obligation to
indemnify or otherwise hold you (or any beneficiary) harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties. 

(c)     Six-Month Delay for Specified Employees. Notwithstanding anything in this
letter to the contrary, in the event that you are deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), no payments that are “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A that are made by
reason of your “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made to you prior to the date that is six months after the date of your “separation from service” or, if earlier, your date of death.
Immediately following any applicable six-month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum. In addition, for a period of six months following the date of separation from service, to the extent that the Company reasonably
determines that any of the benefit plan coverage described above in this letter may not be exempt from U.S. federal income tax, you shall in advance pay to the Company an amount equal to the stated taxable cost of such coverage for six months. At
the end of such six-month period, you shall be entitled to receive from the Company a reimbursement of the amounts paid by Employee for such coverage. 

 (d)     Termination of Employment as Separation
from Service. In addition, for purposes of this letter, with respect to payments of any amounts that are considered to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, references to “termination of employment”
(and substantially similar phrases) shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. 
 (e)     Reimbursement Timing. To the extent that any reimbursements pursuant to this letter are taxable to you, any such reimbursement payment due to you shall be paid to
you as promptly as practicable, and in all events on or before the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. Any such reimbursements are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another
benefit and the amount of such benefits and reimbursements that you receive in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits or reimbursements that you receive in any other taxable year. 

(f)     Limitation of Offsets. Except as permitted under Section 409A, any
deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A and is payable to or for your benefit under any Company-sponsored plan, program, agreement or arrangement may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by you to the
Company.” 
 The Company and you each acknowledges and agrees that except as amended hereby, the provisions of the
Employment Letter shall remain in full force and effect. This letter shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada other than principles of law that would apply the law of another jurisdiction.
This letter may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 

 

			
	Very truly yours,
	
	LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP.

Agreement is executed, 85% of the reasonably anticipated projected production from proved Oil and Gas Properties included in the most recent Reserve Report for each month during the period during which such Swap Agreement is in effect for each of
crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, which may be hedged with Swap Agreements for crude oil, each calculated separately; provided that Proved Developed Non-Producing Reserves and Proved Undeveloped Reserves, in the aggregate, do not

 Page 5

 (ii) Swap Agreements that would be permitted by clause (i) hereof
pertaining to Oil and Gas Properties to be acquired pursuant to a Specified Acquisition; provided that Swap Agreements pursuant to this Section 9.18(b) must be Liquidated upon the earlier to occur of: (A) the date that is 90 days after the

exceed 100% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan Parties’ Debt for borrowed money which bears interest at a fixed rate and (B) Swap Agreements effectively converting interest rates from floating to fixed, the notional
amounts of which (when aggregated with all other Swap Agreements of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties then in effect effectively converting interest rates from floating to fixed) do not exceed 100% of the then outstanding principal amount of
the Loan Parties’ Debt for borrowed money which bears interest at a floating rate, and 
 (iv) Swap
Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of the Loan Parties’ business in respect of Emission Credits; provided that the aggregate amount that is owing but unpaid by the Loan Parties under all such Swap Agreements shall not exceed
$1,000,000 in the aggregate at any time. 
 (b) In no event shall any Swap Agreement contain any requirement,
agreement or covenant for a Loan Party to post collateral or margin to secure their obligations under such Swap Agreement or to cover market exposures, except to the extent permitted under Section 9.03(e). 

(c) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of the other Loan Parties to, incur or permit to exist any speculative
Swap Agreements. 
 (d) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any other Loan Party to, Liquidate any Swap
Agreement in respect of commodities unless (x) if such Swap Liquidation would result in an automatic redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.07(f), the Borrower delivers reasonable prior written notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent, and (y) if a Borrowing Base Deficiency would result from such Swap Liquidation as a result of an automatic redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.07(f), the Borrower

Section 27 thereof, which Section 28 shall read in full as follows: 
 28. (a) Each Guarantor that is a
Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby guarantees the payment and performance of all Indebtedness of each Benefitting Guarantor and absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to

Agreements (provided, however, that each such Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 28(a) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 28(a), or
otherwise under this Guaranty or any Loan Document, as it relates to such Benefitting Guarantors, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each such
Guarantor under this Section 28(a) shall remain in full force and effect until (i) all Indebtedness is paid in full to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, and all of the Lenders’ Commitments are
terminated or (ii) the termination of this Guaranty with respect to such Guarantor in accordance with its terms. The parties intend that this Section 28(a) constitute, and this Section 28(a) shall be deemed to constitute, a
“keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the 

  
 Page 7

 
benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Indebtedness guaranteed by any
Guarantor, or secured by the grant of any security interest by such Guarantor under any Security Instrument, shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Guarantor.

the representations and warranties contained in each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party are true and correct in all material respects as though made on and as of the date hereof (unless made as of a specific earlier date, in which
