and irrevocable payment in full, in immediately available funds, of all of the Issuer Obligations. 

SECTION 2. GUARANTEE  

        2.1.
Guarantee. 

        (a)
Wynn Resorts hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective
successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each Note Issuer when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the
Issuer Obligations. 

        (b)
The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Issuer Obligations, notwithstanding that from time to time during
the term of the Indenture the Note Issuers may be free from any Issuer Obligations. 

        (c)
No payment made by either Note Issuer, Wynn Resorts, any Other Guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from either Note Issuer, Wynn Resorts, any
Other Guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of
the Issuer Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of Wynn Resorts hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made
by Wynn Resorts in respect of the Issuer Obligations or any payment received or collected from Wynn Resorts in respect of the Issuer Obligations), remain liable for the Issuer Obligations up to the
maximum liability of Wynn Resorts hereunder until the Issuer Obligations are paid in full. 

        2.2.  Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation. 

        (a)
In case any payment is made on account of the Issuer Obligations by Wynn Resorts or is received or collected on account of the Obligations from Wynn Resorts or its property, Wynn
Resorts may be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of the Issuer Obligations, (A) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from the Note Issuers and
(B) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each Other Guarantor which has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect
to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) Wynn Resorts and each Other Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. 

2

 

        (b)
If and whenever (after payment in full of the Issuer Obligations) any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by Wynn Resorts against any Other Guarantor as
described in Section 2.2(a) or otherwise, Wynn Resorts may be entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of the Issuer Obligations, to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all Other
Guarantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from Wynn Resorts or any Other Guarantor as described in this Section 2.2) to any security interest that may then be held by the Mortgage
Notes Indenture Trustee upon any Collateral granted to it pursuant to the Collateral Documents. Such right of subrogation shall
be enforceable solely against the Other Guarantors, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to
warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any Collateral for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If
subrogation is demanded by Wynn Resorts, then (after payment in full of the Issuer Obligations) the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee shall deliver to Wynn Resorts, or to a representative of Wynn
Resorts or of the guarantors of the Issuer Obligations generally, at the expense of Wynn Resorts, an instrument satisfactory to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee transferring, on a quitclaim basis
without any recourse, representation, warranty or obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee then may hold in whatever Collateral may then exist that was
not previously released or disposed of by the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee. 

        (c)
All rights and claims arising under this Section 2.2 or based upon or relating to any other right of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at
any time arise or exist in favor of Wynn Resorts as to any payment on account of the Issuer Obligations made by it or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all
respects to the prior payment in full of all of the Issuer Obligations. Until payment in full of the Issuer Obligations, Wynn Resorts shall not demand or receive any collateral security, payment or
distribution whatsoever (whether in cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such payment or distribution is made or becomes available to Wynn Resorts
in any bankruptcy case or receivership, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, such payment or distribution shall be delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution directly to the Mortgage
Notes Indenture Trustee, for application to the payment of the Issuer Obligations. If any such payment or distribution is received by Wynn Resorts, it shall be held by Wynn Resorts in trust, as
trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by Wynn Resorts to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee, in the exact form received
and, if necessary, duly endorsed. 

        (d)
The obligations of Wynn Resorts under this Agreement, including its liability for the Issuer Obligations, are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability,
collectibility or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 2.2. The invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectibility of
any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Secured Party against Wynn Resorts or its
property. The Secured Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to
any such right. 

        (e)
Wynn Resorts reserves any and all other rights of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation at any time available to it as against any Other Guarantor, but (i) the exercise
and enforcement of such rights shall be subject to Section 2.2(d) and (ii) neither the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall ever have any duty or liability
whatsoever in respect of any such right, except as provided in Section 2.2(c). 

        (f)
Wynn Resorts waives any right or claims of right to cause a marshalling of either Note Issuer's, Wynn Resorts' or any Other Guarantor's assets or to proceed against Wynn Resorts,
either Note Issuer or any Other Guarantor in any particular order, including, but not limited to, any right arising out of Nevada Revised Statutes 40.430. 

3

 

        2.3.
Amendments, etc. with respect to the Issuer Obligations. Wynn Resorts shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without
any reservation of rights against any Other Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any such guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Issuer Obligations made by any Secured Party
may be rescinded by such Secured Party and any of the Issuer Obligations continued, and the Issuer Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, increased, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised,
waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and the Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee (or the requisite Holders under the Indenture or all Holders, as the case may be) may deem advisable
from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Issuer Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered
or released. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Issuer Obligations or for the guarantee contained in
this Section 2 or any property subject thereto. 

        2.4.
Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Wynn Resorts waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of
the Issuer Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2;
the Issuer Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in
this Section 2; and all dealings between either Note Issuer and Wynn Resorts or any of the Other Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Wynn Resorts waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and
notice of default or nonpayment to or upon either Note Issuer, Wynn Resorts or any of the Other Guarantors. Wynn Resorts understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2
shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or any
Collateral Document, any of the Issuer Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured
Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by either Note Issuer
or any other Person against any Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of either Note Issuer or Wynn Resorts) which constitutes, or
might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of either Note Issuer for the Issuer Obligations, or of Wynn Resorts under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in
bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Wynn Resorts, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no
obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against either Note Issuer, any Other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral
security or guarantee for the Issuer Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or
to collect any payments from either Note Issuer, any Other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such
right of offset, or any release of either Note Issuer, any Other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Wynn Resorts of any
obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against Wynn Resorts. For the
purposes hereof "demand" shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings. 

4

 

        2.5.
Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Issuer Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Note Issuer, Wynn Resorts or any Other Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar
officer for, either Note Issuer, Wynn Resorts or any Other Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 

        2.6.
Payments. Wynn Resorts hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee without
set-off or counterclaim in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

SECTION 3. SECURITY INTERESTS  

        3.1.
Restriction on Grant of Security Interest. Wynn Resorts hereby agrees that it shall not grant any security interests in any of its
assets or properties (other than a security interest in favor of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Holders and security interests granted in Excluded Assets or assets or
properties that individually or in the aggregate have a fair market value of less than $10,000,000) in favor of any Person to secure (i) any Indebtedness of any of its Affiliates,
(ii) any Guarantee by Wynn Resorts of Indebtedness of any of its Affiliates, or (iii) any Indebtedness incurred by Wynn Resorts (any such grant of security interest, a
"Granted Security Interest"), unless: 

        (a)
Wynn Resorts concurrently executes and delivers to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee a security agreement in substantially the form of the security agreement related to the
Granted Security Interest (a "Parent Security Agreement") and thereby grants a perfected, enforceable security interest in those assets or properties in
favor of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Holders to secure the obligations of Wynn Resorts pursuant to this Agreement; and 

        (b)
subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, the security interest described in clause (a) above ranks senior to or is pari passu
with the Granted Security Interest. 

        3.2.
Further Assurances. Wynn Resorts shall execute and deliver such additional instruments, certificates or documents, and take all such
actions as may be reasonably required from time to time in order to (a) carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement and the Parent Security Agreement (if any), (b) create,
grant, perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness, perfection and priority of the Parent Security Agreement (if any) and the Liens created, or intended to be created, thereby (if any),
(c) ensure that this Agreement and the Liens created or purported to be created under the Parent Security Agreement (if any) have the ranking required under this Agreement; and
(d) ensure that any of the rights granted or intended to be granted to the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee under this Agreement or the Parent Security Agreement (if any) or under any other
instrument executed in connection therewith or granted to Wynn Resorts thereunder or under any other instrument executed in connection therewith are protected and enforced. Upon the exercise by the
Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee or any Holder of any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or the Parent Security Agreement which requires any consent, approval, recording,
qualification or authorization of any governmental authority, Wynn Resorts shall execute and deliver all applications, certifications, instruments and other documents and papers that may be required
from Wynn Resorts for such governmental consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization. 

5

 

SECTION 4. SEPARATENESS  

        Wynn Resorts hereby agrees that, for so long as there continues to be any outstanding Issuer Obligations, it shall comply with each of the following: 

        (a)
Wynn Resorts shall not conduct business in the name of either Note Issuer, or any of the Restricted Entities, any of their Restricted Subsidiaries or the Completion Guarantor
(collectively, the "Wynn Group Members"), nor shall it refer to any of the Wynn Group Members as a division, department or other subdivision of Wynn
Resorts that is not recognized as a separate and distinct legal entity under applicable law. Wynn Resorts shall have separate stationery, invoices and checks in its own name and shall observe all
organizational formalities. Wynn Resorts shall not refer to employees of a Wynn Group Member as employees of Wynn Resorts or of any Affiliate of Wynn Resorts that is not a Wynn Group Member. Wynn
Resorts shall maintain arms'-length relationships with the Wynn Group Members, except for management fees, distributions and other specific transactions, to the extent expressly permitted by the
Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents. Wynn Resorts shall maintain adequate capital in light of its contemplated business purpose, transactions and liabilities. Wynn Resorts shall not
commingle its funds with those of the Wynn Group Entities, and in all transactions involving the Wynn Group Entities and Wynn Resorts, the separate funds of each of the Wynn Group Members and Wynn
Resorts shall be clearly traceable. The assets of Wynn Resorts shall remain identifiably separate from those of the Wynn Group Members such that there will be no material difficulty in segregating the
assets of the Wynn Group Members from those of Wynn Resorts. 

        (b)
Wynn Resorts shall not hold out the Wynn Group Members to be other than legal entities separate and distinct from Wynn Resorts, and Wynn Resorts shall not hold out that the assets of
the Wynn Group Members are available to satisfy the liabilities of Wynn Resorts. In any communications with creditors of Wynn Resorts that refer in any way directly or indirectly to the assets,
liabilities, operations or results from operations of the Wynn Group Members, Wynn Resorts shall ensure that such communications accurately describe the separate existence of the Wynn Group Members
and the fact that the assets of the Wynn Group Members are not available to satisfy the liabilities of Wynn Resorts. 

        (c)
Wynn Resorts shall maintain books, records and accounts separate and apart from each of the Wynn Group Members. In any consolidated financial statements of Wynn Resorts that refer to
assets, liabilities, operations or results from operations of the Wynn Group Members, Wynn Resorts shall, in footnotes or otherwise, describe the assets, liabilities, operations and results from
operations of the Wynn Group Members separately from those of Wynn Resorts and further shall note that (i) each Wynn Group Member is organized as a legal entity separate and distinct from Wynn
Resorts, (ii) there is no agreement or other arrangement or relationship under which or pursuant to which the assets of a Wynn Group Member have been pledged or otherwise made available to
satisfy the obligations of Wynn Resorts or any of its Affiliates that are not Wynn Group Members, and (iii) each Wynn Group Member has issued or guaranteed indebtedness that is secured by Liens
on substantially all of the assets of said Wynn Group Member (except as otherwise permitted by the terms of the Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents). 

        (d)
In addition to the foregoing, Wynn Resorts shall not take any other action that would reasonably be expected to call into question the separate identity of each Wynn Group Member
from Wynn Resorts, or to create or increase any risk that the assets of any Wynn Group Member will be consolidated with those of Wynn Resorts or any other Person (other than another Wynn Group Member)
under applicable federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law. 

SECTION 5. WYNN PUT AGREEMENT  

        Wynn Resorts hereby agrees that it shall not amend, modify, waive or otherwise change, or consent or agree to any amendment, modification, waiver or other change
to, or otherwise fail to enforce, or 

6

 

terminate or abandon, any of the provisions of the Wynn Put Agreement, if such amendment, modification, waiver or other change, failure to enforce, termination or abandonment (individually or
collectively with all such amendments, modifications, waivers and other changes, failures to enforce, terminations or abandonments taken as a whole) would (a) have a material adverse affect on
the ability of either Note Issuer, or any Restricted Entity or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to develop, construct or operate the Project, (b) cause the Completion Date to occur or
result in that date occurring after the Scheduled Completion Deadline (as defined in the Disbursement Agreement), (c) materially impair the rights or remedies of the Holders under the
Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents, or (d) materially impair the development, use or operation of the Project. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, in no event shall
Wynn Resorts be required, by
reason of this Agreement or the Parent Security Agreement (if any), to become a Restricted Entity or otherwise to become subject to the restrictive covenants or other terms of the Indenture. 

SECTION 6. MISCELLANEOUS  

        6.1.
Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
except in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 

        6.2.  Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee or Wynn Resorts hereunder shall be
effected in the manner provided for in Section 13.02 of the Indenture; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon Wynn Resorts
shall be addressed to Wynn Resorts at its notice address set forth below:

        6.3.  No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to
Section 6.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise,
nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be
exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 

        6.4.
Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Wynn Resorts agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its costs and
expenses incurred in collecting against Wynn Resorts under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement, including, without

        (b)
Wynn Resorts agrees to pay, and to save the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,

be required to do so pursuant to Section 7.07 of the Indenture.

obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Mortgage Notes Indenture Trustee. 

        6.6.  Set-Off. Wynn Resorts hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to Wynn Resorts or any Other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by Wynn Resorts, to set-off and appropriate
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct
or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of Wynn Resorts, or any part thereof in such amounts as
such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Wynn Resorts to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party
against Wynn Resorts, in any currency, whether arising hereunder or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such
obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party shall notify Wynn Resorts promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party
of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have. 

        6.7.  Representations and Warranties. Wynn Resorts hereby represents and warrants as follows: (a) Wynn Resorts has the requisite
corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Parent Security Agreement (if any), (b) the execution, delivery and
performance by Wynn Resorts of this Agreement and the Parent Security Agreement (if any) have been duly approved by all necessary corporate action of Wynn Resorts and no other corporate proceedings on
the part of Wynn Resorts are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Parent Security Agreement (if any), (c) this Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Wynn Resorts, and (d) this Agreement is (and, upon the execution and delivery thereof by Wynn Resorts, the Parent Security Agreement will be) the legal, valid and binding

respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and
by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 

        6.8.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts
(including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 

        6.9.  Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any

  AGREEMENT REGARDING PROVISION OF WATER AND USE OF WATER    
  

        This Agreement Regarding the Provision and Use of Water (the "Agreement") is entered into effective this 21st day
of October, 2002, by and among Desert Inn Improvement Company, a Nevada corporation ("DIIC"), Wynn Resorts Holdings, LLC, a Nevada limited liability

(Holdings and Wynn Las Vegas shall be collectively referred to herein as ("Wynn'). The DIIC and Wynn are collectively referred to herein as the

        This
Agreement is entered into with reference to the following facts: 

	A.
	DIIC
is the current owner of water rights (collectively, the "Water Rights") corresponding to Certificate Numbers 4731, 4765, 4766,
7827, 7828, 7829, and 7830 (collectively, the "Certificates"), whose designated place of use has historically been and currently is the property
commonly known as the Desert Inn Golf Course, which is substantially of the land more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference (the "Golf Course Land").

	B.
	DIIC
holds a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (the "PUCN"), under which
DIIC is allowed to supply water within a specific geographic area ("Designated Area").

	C.
	Holdings
is the current owner of the Golf Course Land.

	D.
	Wynn
Las Vegas is the tenant, and Holdings and Palo, LLC ("Palo') are the landlord, under that certain Lease dated October 21,
2002 (the "Wynn Las Vegas Lease"), pursuant to which Wynn Las
Vegas is leasing that certain real property located in the County of Clark, State of Nevada, more particularly described in the Wynn Las Vegas Lease (the "Wynn Las Vegas
Land") from Holdings and Palo on the terms and conditions contained in the Wynn Las Vegas Lease. The Wynn Las Vegas Land includes the Golf Course Land.

	E.
	DIIC
and Wynn desire to reaffirm that DIIC will continue to supply water to the Golf Course Land to the extent of the Water Rights, and to the extent the Golf Course Land is included
in the Designated Area, unless and until DIIC and Wynn modify this Agreement in writing.

	F.
	DIIC
and Wynn further acknowledge that the Golf Course Land has been the appropriate place of use relative to the Water Rights, and the owner of the Golf Course Land has allowed the
Water Rights to be used on the Golf Course Land. 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, the DIIC and Wynn agree as follows: 

        1.
Except to the extent required to do otherwise by the PUCN, DIIC hereby agrees to continue to provide water to the Golf Course Land to the extent of the Water Rights, and to the extent
the Golf Course Land is included in the Designated Area, and to apply the Water Rights to the place of use designated on the Certificates. Except to the extent required to do otherwise by the PUCN,
DIIC shall not diminish, restrict, or cease to provide water to the Golf Course Land to the extent of the Water Rights, and shall not limit in any fashion the application of the Water Rights to
beneficial use on the Golf Course Land. 

        2.
Except to the extent required to do otherwise by the PUCN, DIIC shall continue to provide water to the Golf Course Land on the same terms and conditions as the water is currently

against either party solely due to that party's participation in the drafting. Each party hereto has entered into this Agreement based solely on the covenants and agreements set forth herein and not

other relief that may be granted, the reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in the action, proceeding or arbitration. 

        7.
A waiver by any party of a breach of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements under this Agreement made or to be performed by any other party shall not be construed as a waiver
of any succeeding breach of the same or other covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions of this Agreement. 

        8.
If any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Agreement or its application to any party or circumstances shall be held, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
of this Agreement, or the application of the term, provision, condition or covenant to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be
affected, and shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

        9.
Any number of counterparts of this Agreement may be executed. Each counterpart will be deemed to be an original instrument and all counterparts taken together will constitute one
agreement. 

        10.
