LUMP SUM
AGREEMENT 
 
THIS LUMP SUM AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) is made effective as of February 18, 2003 (the “Effective Date”), by and between WYNN LAS VEGAS, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Owner”), and WADSWORTH GOLF CONSTRUCTION
COMPANY, a Delaware corporation, holding Nevada State Contractor’s License No. 0021977 (“Contractor”), with respect to the following facts: 
 
RECITALS 
 
A. Owner owns the real property commonly known as 3131 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada, as more particularly described on
Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”). 
 
B. Owner plans to construct on the Property a first class luxury resort and casino, including high-rise hotel space and low-rise space comprised of casino and gaming areas, restaurants, retail, convention and meeting areas,
a showroom, parking structure, clubhouse and exterior features (the “Casino Improvements”). Owner will be retaining separate architects, contractors and consultants (“Other Builders”) to design and construct the
Casino Improvements on the Property. 
 
C. In
addition to the Casino Improvements, Owner desires to have constructed on a portion of the Property a championship golf course, consisting of 18 golf holes, a driving range, practice putting green, lake and stream features including a signature
waterfall, turf grass conforming to USGA standards, landscaping and irrigation (collectively, the “Project”), and desires to engage Contractor to construct, and supervise the construction of, the Project, in full accordance with the
Contract Documents (as defined in Section 1.2 of this Agreement), including the Plans and Specifications (as defined in Section 1.2.2 of this Agreement), and Contractor desires to accept such engagement, upon the terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement. 
 
AGREEMENT

 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual covenants contained herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Owner and Contractor hereby adopt and incorporate the foregoing Recitals and agree as follows: 
 

	 	1.	 	CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND GOVERNMENTAL 

REQUIREMENTS. 
 
1.1 Agreement Governs. The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items appropriate or necessary for the proper execution and Completion of the Work (as defined in Section 2.7.2 of this
Agreement) by Contractor to Owner’s satisfaction. The Contract Documents are complementary, and what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all. Nothing contained in this Section 1.1 shall relieve Contractor of its
obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 5.9 of this Agreement, or shall create a contractual or professional relationship between Owner and 

 

1 

any person or entity other than Contractor. If any provision of the Contract Documents conflicts with any other provision of the Contract
Documents, the provision requiring the highest degree of care or performance or the highest quality of materials, as the case may be, shall prevail, unless Contractor is otherwise instructed in writing by Owner. When only one product and
manufacturer is specified, this is the basis of the Contract (as defined in Section 1.2.9 of this Agreement), unless substitution or exception is approved in writing by Owner. 
 
1.2 Contract Documents. The “Contract Documents” consist of
the following documents: 
 
1.2.1
This Agreement, including any exhibits and appendices thereto. 
 
1.2.2 The “Plans and Specifications” as approved by Owner and Owner’s Lenders (as defined in Section 14.1 of this Agreement), including, without limitation, all
architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, grading utility security and low voltage drawings and specifications, and all supplements, amendments and modifications thereto as approved by Owner and Owner’s Lenders.

 
1.2.3 The Project Drawings and
References as defined by Exhibit B attached hereto. 
 
1.2.4 The Project Construction Schedule (as defined in Section 4.2.1 of this Agreement), and attached hereto as Exhibit C. 
 
1.2.5 Any Submittals as defined in Section 5.11 of this Agreement. 
 
1.2.6 The Schedule of Values (as defined in
Section 2.3.3 of this Agreement). 
 
1.2.7 The Technical Studies and Reports (as defined in Section 1.3.1 of this Agreement). 
 
1.2.8 The Permits and Entitlements as set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto. 
 
1.2.9 All supplements, addenda, modifications
and amendments to any of the foregoing in this Section 1.2, from time to time approved by Owner in writing, including, without limitation, any executed Change Orders (as defined in Section 13.3 of this Agreement) and Construction
Change Directives (as defined in Section 13.5 of this Agreement), and such other documents expressly referred to in the foregoing documents as being a part of the Contract Documents. These Contract Documents form the
“Contract,” and are as fully a part of the Contract as if attached to this Agreement or repeated in this Agreement. 
 

2 

 
1.3 Compliance with Contract Documents and Governmental Requirements. 
 
1.3.1 Contractor shall, and shall cause all Subcontractors (as defined in Section 13.11 of this Agreement) to,
construct and perform the Work in a good and workmanlike manner in strict compliance with (a) the Contract Documents, including, without limitation, the Plans and Specifications, and all things indicated thereon or which should be inferred therefrom
given Contractor’s status as a Contractor experienced with construction projects similar in size and complexity to the Work, and the Project Construction Schedule, (b) all Governmental Requirements (as defined in Section 13.9 of this
Agreement), and (c) the “Technical Studies and Reports” set forth on Exhibit E attached to this Agreement. 
 
1.3.2 Contractor represents to Owner that Contractor is thoroughly familiar with all Governmental Requirements.
Governmental Requirements shall supersede the Contract Documents if there is any conflict; provided, however, that if any Governmental Requirement shall necessitate a change to or deviation from the Contract Documents, Contractor shall
obtain Owner’s written consent in the form of a Change Order prior to implementing such change. Contractor shall be responsible for failing to report to Owner any discrepancy between the Contract Documents and Governmental Requirements. If
Contractor performs any part of the Work in violation of any such Governmental Requirements, Contractor shall bear all costs of correction and adverse scheduling impacts; provided, however, that should any governmental authority having
jurisdiction over the Work mandate compliance with any changes to applicable Governmental Requirements that have been enacted or have become effective after the Effective Date, Contractor shall, subject to consultation with and written approval by
Owner, construct the Work in accordance with such Governmental Requirements, the increased actual cost of which (if any) will be added to the Contract Sum pursuant to a Change Order under Article 3 of this Agreement, unless Contractor should
have reasonably anticipated or planned for such change. 
 
1.3.3 Contractor shall furnish, perform and complete all Work required to complete the Project in accordance with the Contract Documents. Contractor shall be responsible for assembling all documentation necessary to obtain,
and shall itself obtain or through Project Architect obtain, all permits and other approvals required to be obtained for the timely Completion of the Work from the appropriate governmental authorities or other parties having approval rights relating
to the Project. 
 

	 	2.	 	CONTRACT SUM; METHOD OF PAYMENT. 

 
2.1 Contract Sum. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Owner shall pay to Contractor for
Contractor’s complete performance under the Contract, including, without limitation, the construction and completion of all Work for the Project, a lump sum total amount of Sixteen Million Five Hundred Eighty-Five Thousand Nine Hundred Thirteen
Dollars and No Cents ($16,585,913) (the “Contract Sum”). Contractor is not and shall not be entitled to any fee, payment, compensation or reimbursement or other sum under this Agreement or the other Contract Documents or arising out
of or relating to the Work or the Project, other than the Contract Sum. The 

 

3 

Contract Sum may be adjusted only pursuant to Change Orders as provided for in Article 3 of this Agreement. As stipulated in the OCIP
Manual (as defined in Section 10.1.2 of this Agreement), the Contract Sum shall be adjusted downward to remove the cost of certain insurance, as determined pursuant to the OCIP Audit (as defined in Section 10.1.3 of this Agreement).

 
2.2 Contractor
Responsible for Expenditures in Excess of Contract Sum. 
 
2.2.1 The Contract Sum is the maximum cost to Owner for the completion of the Project, including, without limitation, the full performance of all Work and all services by Contractor and its
Subcontractors and Vendors (as defined in 13.12 of this Agreement). Contractor shall have sole responsibility to pay for any expenditures, costs and/or expenses in excess of the Contract Sum. If, at any point, Owner reasonably believes that, based
on the progress of the Work, the Work cannot be completed for the Contract Sum, Owner shall have the right to require Contractor to provide Owner with satisfactory evidence of funds available to Contractor to pay any anticipated overage, and cause
Contractor to provide Owner a perfected first priority lien on or security interest in such funds and execute such security agreements as may be required. Contractor’s failure to timely provide such evidence of available funds and/or a
perfected first lien, shall constitute a default pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Agreement. 
 
2.2.2 The Contractor acknowledges that the Golf Course Designer, as a part of the normal Golf Course design process will
make final adjustments in the field to various aspects of the Golf Course which may affect actual quantities of the Work relative to the estimated quantities. This being a normal process in the design and construction of any Golf Course is
anticipated and included as a part of the Work to the extent that the “field adjustments” net out without any material increase or decrease to the original aggregate value of the Work. The unit cost established in Exhibit L shall be used
for the purpose of calculating the net value of these adjustments. It is incumbent upon the Contractor to manage this process allowing maximum flexibility to the Designer without affecting the value of the Work. The Contractor shall notify the Owner
immediately and prior to commencing upon said adjustments. Any adjustments which increase or decrease the value of the Work shall be considered a change as defined in Article 3 of this Agreement. 
 
2.3 Payment Application.

 
2.3.1 Except for the retention
or withholding specified below, or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Contract Sum shall be paid over the course of the Project and in proportion to the Work completed during the applicable pay period, based on the percentage
that such completed Work bears to the total Work provided for in the Schedule of Values (as defined in Section 2.3.3 of this Agreement) as reasonably determined by Owner. On or before the last day of each month for which payment is being
requested during the term of this Agreement, Contractor shall deliver a statement to Owner and Owner’s Lenders on AIA G701 and G702 forms or such other forms as are specified by and acceptable to Owner and Owner’s Lenders (“Payment
Application”), certified by Contractor as correct, and representative of the Work completed during that calendar month. 

 

4 

Contractor shall not submit more than one Payment Application per month unless otherwise requested by Owner. Each Payment Application shall
specify: 
 
2.3.1.1 the Work
performed during such preceeding calendar month; 
 
2.3.1.2 the portion of the Contract Sum to be paid by Owner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Schedule of Values; 
 
2.3.1.3 for each category and portion of the Work: (1) the amount requested on all previous Payment Applications, (2) the
amount requested on the current Payment Application, and (3) the amount allocated in the Schedule of Values to the Work yet to be completed; 
 
2.3.1.4 Retainage (as defined in Section 2.3.7 of this Agreement) in the amount provided for pursuant to
Section 2.3.7 of this Agreement; 
 
2.3.1.5 the percentage completed of each portion of the Work as of the end of the period covered by the Payment Application, shown as both (1) the percentage obtained by dividing the completed portions of the Work by the total Work
referenced in the Schedule of Values, and (2) the percentage obtained by dividing (a) the sum of the payments made to Contractor pursuant to prior Payment Applications and the payment requested in the current Payment Application by (b) the Contract
Sum; and 
 
2.3.1.6 such
additional information and documentation regarding the progress of the Work and the requested payment under the Payment Application as Owner and/or Owner’s Lenders may reasonably require. 
 
2.3.2 All blanks and columns in each Payment
Application must be completed. 
 
2.3.3 “Schedule of Values” means the budget (as prepared by Contractor and submitted to and approved in writing by Owner) outlining the Work and allocating values among all portions or categories of the Work. The
initial Schedule of Values shall be submitted by Contractor to Owner and Owner’s Lenders for their prior written approval as a condition precedent to Contractor being paid under Contractor’s first Payment Application. The Schedule of
Values may be modified only with the prior written approval of Owner. Following any Change Order or Construction Change Directive, the Schedule of Values shall be adjusted by Contractor as necessary, in each case subject to Owner’s prior
written approval, to reflect accurately the values of the various portions and categories of the Work. The Schedule of Values as approved by Owner shall be used as the basis for all Payment Applications. 
 
2.3.4 Except with Owner’s prior written
consent, Contractor shall not make advance payments to Subcontractors or Vendors and, except as provided in Section 2.5 of this Agreement, shall not be entitled to payment for the cost of any equipment or materials which have not been
delivered and incorporated into the Project or stored at the Property in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Owner and/or Owner’s Lenders. Except as expressly provided in the Contractor’s Certificate (defined in Section 2.3.6 of
this 

 

5 

Agreement), no Payment Application shall include requests for payment of amounts Contractor does not intend to pay promptly to a
Subcontractor or Vendor because of a dispute or other reason. 
 
2.3.5 Each Payment Application shall include signed and acknowledged (by a notary) Conditional Waivers and Releases of Liens Upon Progress Payment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F from
Contractor and each Subcontractor and Vendor for all Work performed to date that is covered by such Payment Application, and signed and acknowledged Unconditional Waivers and Releases of Liens Upon Progress Payment in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit G from Contractor and each Subcontractor and Vendor for all Work that was covered by the immediately preceding Payment Application. Execution and delivery of such waivers shall be an absolute condition precedent to Owner’s duty
to pay Contractor pursuant to any Payment Application. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to all other terms of this Agreement, to the extent Contractor fails to provide any of the foregoing waivers and releases of lien when required
(“Outstanding Releases”), Contractor shall provide to Owner’s and Owner’s Lenders’ title insurers, from time to time upon Owner’s request and as a condition to any progress or other payment to Contractor, such
affidavits, indemnities, certificates and other instruments as such title insurers require to issue to Owner and Owner’s Lenders, as a condition to any progress or other payment to Contractor, one or more endorsements to their respective title
insurance policies insuring the lien free status of the Work and Property (Contractor’s failure to cause the title insurer to provide the required endorsement(s) shall be a breach of this Agreement); provided, however, that at no time shall the
aggregate of all Outstanding Releases represent Work with an aggregate value in excess of $200,000. In addition, Owner may at any time direct Contractor to submit an affidavit that all payrolls, invoices for material and equipment, and other
indebtedness connected with the Work and associated with a Payment Application have been paid. 
 
2.3.6 Each Payment Application also shall include a “Contractor’s Certificate,” in form and
substance identical to Exhibit H attached to this Agreement, signed by Contractor. 
 
2.3.7 In addition to amounts, if any, withheld pursuant to Sections 2.7.6 and 2.8 of this Agreement, Owner hereby
gives written notice to Contractor that Owner shall withhold from each payment to Contractor an amount (the “Retainage”) equal to ten percent (10%) of that payment. All such retainage shall be released as part of final payment to
Contractor. After fifty percent (50%) of the Scope of Work has been satisfactorily completed in the Owner’s judgment, Owner may elect to reduce the level of retainage withholding to be equal to 5% of the adjusted contract value in the event
that the Owner, in its sole discretion, determines that Contractor, its Subcontractors and/or vendors are satisfactorily performing the work in accordance with the contract documents. 
 
2.4 Progress Payments. 
 
2.4.1 Contingent upon the Owner and
Owner’s lenders receipt of a complete Payment Application and all required submittals under 2.3 of the Agreement, Owner shall make payment of any properly due amounts to Contractor on or about the 25th day of the month following the month for which payment was requested, subject to the

comply with Section 15.1 of this Agreement; 
 
2.4.2.13 Contractor’s failure to obtain, comply with and keep valid and in full force, and deliver copies to Owner of, all approvals, permits, certifications, consents and licenses of governmental authorities or other

be retained or withheld pursuant to Sections 2.3.7, 2.7.6 and/or 2.8 of this Agreement). When the reason(s) for withholding approval are removed to Owner’s and Owner’s Lenders satisfaction, approval will be made for amounts
previously withheld, and Owner will pay such amounts (less amounts properly withheld or retained) with the next regularly scheduled payment. 
 
2.4.4 Within 15 days of Substantial Completion of the work, Contractor shall submit to Owner the Contractors Completion
Certificate as defined in Section 4.2.1.1. 
 

8 

 
2.5 Payments by Contractor. Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor and Vendor, within five (5) business days after receipt of payment from Owner, the amount to which said Subcontractor or Vendor is entitled on
account of such Subcontractor’s or Vendor’s portion of the Work, as reflected in the Payment Application and reflecting Retainage in accordance with Section 2.3.7 of this Agreement or amounts withheld under this Agreement.
Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement with each Subcontractor and Vendor, require each Subcontractor and Vendor to make payments to their respective Subcontractors and Vendors in a similar manner. 
 
2.6 Materials Off-Site. All
materials which are the subject of a Payment Application shall be stored at all times at the Project, in a bonded warehouse or such other secured facility satisfactory to Owner and Owner’s Lenders, or, at the premises of the manufacturer or
fabricator (in which event the materials shall be appropriately marked and identified with the applicable purchase contract and physically segregated in an area with access to a public street), until the materials are incorporated into the Project;
provided that if the materials are stored with the manufacturer or fabricator, Owner must receive evidence satisfactory to Owner of the creditworthiness of the manufacturer or fabricator and/or Contractor shall procure and deliver or cause to be
procured and delivered to Owner such dual obligee performance and labor and material payment bond or bonds, in form, substance and amount satisfactory to Owner and Owner’s Lenders, as Owner and Owner’s Lenders may require. Furthermore,

2.6.4 ensure that Owner and Owner’s Lenders may enter upon any property on which the materials may be stored to inspect them at any reasonable time. 
 
2.6.5 If Contractor shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this Section
2.6 after Owner has made payment to Contractor for the materials, Owner or Owner’s Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, after written notice to Contractor, take such actions and expend such sums as may be necessary in their
respective judgments to protect and preserve Owner’s title and Owner’s Lenders’ security interest in such materials, and all such expenditures so incurred (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) shall

2.7 Final Payment. 
 
2.7.1 Final payment (“Final Payment”), consisting of the entire unpaid balance of the Contract Sum, including Retainage held pursuant to Section 2.3.7 of this Agreement, shall be made to Contractor
within sixty (60) calendar days after Completion of the Work. 
 
2.7.2 “Completion of the Work” shall be deemed to have occurred after Substantial Completion of the Work when (i) the Contract has been completely performed by Contractor in accordance
with the Contract Documents as determined by Owner and Owner’s Lenders, including, without limitation, completion of all “punch-list” work (unless Owner has with written notice to Contractor elected to retain sufficient funds to
protect it against the nonperformance of such “punch-list” work), (ii) Contractor has delivered each and all of the items described in Sections 2.7.5.1 through 2.7.5.12 of this Agreement, (iii) Owner has accepted the Work in
writing, and (iv) the OCIP Audit (as defined in Section 10.1.3 of this Agreement) as it relates to the Project has been completed and any required downward adjustments in the Contract Sum have been made as described in Sections 2.1 and
10.1.3 of this Agreement. 
 
2.7.3 Contractor shall submit, with its final Payment Application, a Full and Unconditional Release of All Claims and Waiver of Liens in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I executed by Contractor, and by any additional
parties Owner designates including, without limitation, all Subcontractors and Vendors. 
 
2.7.4 Upon receipt of written notice from Contractor that the Work is ready for final inspection and acceptance and upon
receipt of an acceptable final Payment Application with all required submittals, Owner and/or Owner’s Lenders will promptly make such inspection and, when Owner and Owner’s Lenders find the Work acceptable under the Contract Documents and
the Contract fully performed, Owner shall approve the Final Payment. 
 
2.7.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Contract Documents, Final Payment shall not become due until Contractor submits to Owner and Owner’s Lenders: 
 
2.7.5.1 an affidavit that all payrolls,
bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness and obligations connected with the Work for which Owner or Owner’s Property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or otherwise satisfied;

 
2.7.5.2 a certificate of the
insurer(s) evidencing that insurance required by the Contract Documents to remain in force after Final Payment is currently in effect and will not be cancelled or allowed to expire until at least 30 calendar days’ prior written notice has been
given to Owner; 
 
2.7.5.3 a
written statement that Contractor knows of no reason that such insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract Documents; 
 

10 

 
2.7.5.4 if required by Owner or Owner’s Lenders, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts, releases and waivers of liens, claims, security interests or encumbrances arising out of the
Contract or the Work which may then or in the future affect Owner, the Project or Property, and to the extent and in such form as may reasonably be designated by Owner or Owner’s Lenders (if a Subcontractor or Vendor refuses to furnish a
release or waiver required by Owner, Contractor shall within such time as set forth in Section 5.8 of this Agreement and in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 5.8 furnish a bond satisfactory to Owner, in Owner’s
and Owner’s Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion, to indemnify Owner against such lien and cause it to be paid and released; if such lien remains unsatisfied after payments are made, Contractor shall immediately refund to Owner and
indemnify Owner against all monies that Owner is compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and attorneys’ fees); 
 
2.7.5.5 an affidavit certifying that Contractor has paid all taxes and all labor costs, including, without limitation,
any union dues, health, welfare, pension plan, and other labor associated contributions; 
 
2.7.5.6 all written guarantees and warranties under the Contract for Contractor, Subcontractors and Vendors; all
instructions and warranties furnished by manufacturers, suppliers, or Vendors relating to any materials and equipment incorporated in the Work; all required operation and maintenance manuals for major equipment required under the Contract; as-built
drawings required under Section 5.10 of this Agreement; 
 
2.7.5.7 all certificates of occupancy (or their equivalents) relating to or required for the full use and occupancy of all aspects of the Project (and Owner can fully occupy and utilize the Work for
its intended use; 
 
2.7.5.8 any
documents, instruments, releases, affidavits, certificates and indemnities reasonably required in order to permit Owner and Owner’s Lenders to secure endorsements in form and content satisfactory to them to their respective policies of title
insurance for the Property, including, without limitation, that no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens appear of record, that all Lender Liens are of first priority (including prior to any unrecorded liens or other lien rights), and that
there are no encroachments or violations of any recorded covenants, conditions or restrictions affecting the Property; 
 
2.7.5.9 such documents and other items so that Owner will receive and Owner does receive a release and complete refund of
all security, bonds and/or cash amounts provided by or on behalf of Owner and held by or for the benefit of any administrative or governmental agency; 
 
2.7.5.10 an accurate list of all Subcontractors and Vendors with their addresses and telephone numbers; 
 
2.7.5.11 a statement of all unresolved
claims (and for which payment has been and/or shall be withheld by Owner). Contractor shall separately list by 

 

11 

claim number the specific dollar amounts which have previously been submitted as claims by Contractor in good faith and in full compliance
with this Agreement; and 
 
2.7.5.12 such other certificates, instruments and affidavits relating to the Work as Owner or Owner’s Lenders may reasonably require. 
 
2.7.6 Any unsatisfied conditions to Final Payment as set forth in this Section 2.7 shall, unless expressly waived
in writing by Owner in Owner’s sole and absolute discretion, be deemed to be and considered items in dispute allowing Owner to withhold from Final Payment such amounts as permitted by this Agreement. Owner shall give Contractor prior written
notice of any such withholding. Contractor shall not be entitled to receive payment on any Payment Application that is inaccurate or incomplete or that contains any material misrepresentation. The rights and remedies of Owner under this Section
2.7 shall be non-exclusive and shall be in addition to all other remedies available to Owner under this Agreement or at law, in equity or otherwise. 
 
2.7.7 Except for such unresolved claims stated in specific dollar amounts which have been previously filed by Contractor
in good faith and in full compliance with this Agreement, the submittal by Contractor of its final Payment Application shall constitute a final and irrevocable release and waiver by Contractor of any and all other claims and causes of action for
additional costs allowable under the Contract Documents. This shall include, but not be limited to, any and all claims for additional amounts relating to the unresolved claims so identified by Contractor and claims or potential claims of
Subcontractors and Vendors arising out of this Contract, whether or not any such claims or potential claims arise in contract or in tort or were known or unknown at the time of submittal of the final Payment Application. 
 
2.8 Withholding. In addition to
any amounts withheld from a Payment Application by Owner pursuant to Sections 2.3.7 and/or 2.7.6 of this Agreement, in the event of and during any breach or default or failure to perform by Contractor of its obligations pursuant to the
Contract Documents, or any third-party claim against Owner arising out of or connected with the Work, Owner shall have the right (and Contractor hereby expressly authorizes Owner) to withhold such amounts and payments to Contractor as Owner in good
faith deems necessary to protect Owner against or compensate Owner for any damage, cost, expense and loss attributable to the foregoing, to cure any breach, default or failure to perform, or to assure the payment of claims of third persons, and at
Owner’s option to apply such sums in such manner as Owner may in good faith deem necessary or proper to secure protection from or to satisfy such claims. Owner shall give Contractor prior written notice of any such withholding. Owner shall not
be deemed in default by reason of withholding payment under this Agreement in good faith. 
 
2.9 Joint Checks. Owner shall have the right (but not the obligation) to issue in its discretion, at any
time and from time to time, payment checks for portions of a progress payment or the Final Payment payable jointly to Contractor and the person or persons owed (including, without limitation, any Subcontractor or Vendor). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if Contractor fails, neglects, or refuses to pay for labor or services performed or materials or equipment supplied in connection with the Work as payments become due, Owner shall have the right (but not the obligation)
upon written 

 

12 

notice to Contractor to make payments directly for any and all such labor, materials, or equipment and to deduct the amount of such payment
from the Contract Sum. Owner also shall have the right upon five (5) calendar days’ prior written notice to Contractor to stop the performance of the Work by Contractor until payment of all amounts due and owing by Contractor has been made and
such failure by Contractor to make such payments shall be a material breach under the Contract; provided, however, Owner shall not have any duty to stop the Work. 
 
2.10 Waiver. Owner’s payment of any item pursuant to any Payment
Application or otherwise shall not constitute approval of the Work or the Payment Application, or result in Owner’s waiver of any claims, all of Owner’s rights being specifically reserved. A progress payment or partial or entire use or
occupancy of the Project by Owner shall not constitute acceptance of Work not in accordance with the Contract Documents. The acceptance of Final Payment by Contractor, a Subcontractor, and/or a Vendor shall constitute a waiver of all claims by that
payee, except those previously made in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of the Payment Application for the Final Payment. 
 
2.11 Deposits and Payments. If any deposits are required for the purchase of any materials, such deposits
will be specifically identified by category and credited against amounts as billed in that category. Contractor agrees to receive and hold all payments to it by Owner as trust funds to be applied only to the payment of the Contract Sum. Contractor
will, promptly upon written request from Owner, account for any and all funds theretofore received by Contractor from Owner. Contractor agrees to arrange to purchase such materials or equipment in advance of the time for installation in the Project
as may be deemed advisable by Owner or Contractor, provided such purchases in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) are approved by Owner and Owner’s Lenders. Upon payment to Contractor of approved deposit amounts, Contractor shall
provide Owner with an assignment of Contractor’s rights relating to such deposit made and agreement for purchase of such item. 
 
2.12 Title to Materials. Contractor represents and warrants to Owner that (i) title to all of the Work and
materials and equipment incorporated into the Work or covered by any Payment Application will pass to Owner upon the earlier of incorporation in the Work or receipt of payment by Contractor, and such title shall be free and clear of all liens,
claims, security interests or encumbrances; (ii) the vesting of such title shall not impose any obligations on Owner or relieve Contractor of any of its obligations under the Contract Documents; (iii) Contractor shall remain responsible for damage
to or loss of the Work, whether completed or under construction, until responsibility for the Work has been accepted by Owner in the manner set forth in this Agreement; and (iv) no Work covered by a Payment Application and no material or equipment
incorporated in the Work will have been acquired or incorporated into the Work by Contractor, or by any other person performing Work or furnishing materials and equipment for the Project, subject to an agreement under which an interest in the Work
or an encumbrance on the Work or the Property is retained by the seller or otherwise imposed by Contractor or such other person. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including any modifications or waivers of rights provided herein (including,
without limitation, Section 15.1 hereof), the provisions of this Section shall not be a bar to Contractor’s lien rights as to the Property under Nevada state 

 

13 

law as to Work for which Contractor has not yet received payment (and to the extent Contractor is entitled to payment). 
 
2.13 Maintenance of Books and
Records. Contractor shall keep full and detailed accounts and exercise such controls as may be necessary for proper financial management under the Contract and as are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Owner. Contractor’s books,
records, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, subcontracts, purchase orders, vouchers, cancelled checks, pay requests, invoices, bills and statements and all other data relating to or arising out of the design and construction of the
Work, shall at all times be made available to Owner and Owner’s Lenders for inspection, audit, and copying during normal working hours in Buckeye, Arizona. Contractor shall preserve in Buckeye, Arizona, all such records for a period of at least
three (3) years after the Completion of the Work or for such longer period as may be required by law. 
 

	 	3.	 	CHANGES IN THE WORK. 

 
3.1 Change Orders. 
 
3.1.1 Changes in the Work (as defined in Section 13.1 of this Agreement), regardless
of impact, shall be made only in accordance with a Change Order or Construction Change Directive. No Change in the Work will increase the Contract Sum, or extend the Scheduled Completion Date, without an accompanying Change Order. Accordingly, no
course of conduct or dealings between the parties, nor express or implied acceptance of alterations or additions to the Work, and no claim that Owner has been unjustly enriched by any alteration or addition to the Work, whether or not there is in
fact any such unjust enrichment, shall be the basis for any claim to an increase in the Contract Sum or an extension of the Scheduled Completion Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any and all approvals, consents, Change Orders, and
other documents under this Agreement affecting Owner’s rights and/or the Work shall be effective only if signed by Owner. 
 
3.1.2 Once the actual cost of such Change in the Work and corresponding extension, if any, in the Scheduled Completion
Date have been determined pursuant to this Article 3, prior to using such actual cost to make any increase in the Contract Sum, and prior to extending the Scheduled Completion Date, such actual cost and/or extension, as the case may be, shall
be reduced and offset by any and all reductions or Changes in the Work which result in a reduced Contract Sum and/or an advancement of the Scheduled Completion Date, as the case may be (i.e., Changes in the Work shall be netted out). Additions and
deletions to the Work shall be priced in accordance with the unit cost as established herein. The unit pricing represents the total cost per unit of the Work including Subcontractor markup. Except for Material Changes in the Work, the
Contractor’s fee shall not be adjusted. Any increase or decrease in the Contract Sum as a result of net Material Changes in the Work shall not exceed the sum of: (i) the aggregate additional amounts (if any) actually paid by Contractor to its
Subcontractors and Vendors for the applicable Change in the Work, plus a mark-up on such amounts of not more than five percent (5%) to Contractor, and (ii) the increase (if any) in the actual Cost of the Work (as defined in Section 13.6 of
this Agreement) incurred by Contractor with respect to the applicable Change in the Work to the extent (if any) performed by Contractor directly, plus a mark-up 

 

14 

on any such increase incurred by Contractor of not more than ten percent (10%) to Contractor. 
 
3.1.3 At any time and from time to time prior
to Completion of the Work, Owner may request Contractor to make Changes in the Work. If Owner desires a Change in the Work, Owner may, in its sole and absolute discretion and in writing, request a Change Proposal from Contractor (a “Change
Proposal Request”). A Change Proposal Request shall set out, in reasonable detail, the Changes in the Work requested by Owner. Within ten (10) calendar days following its receipt of a Change Proposal Request, Contractor shall issue a Change
Proposal (as defined in Section 13.4 of this Agreement). Contractor also shall issue a Change Proposal: (i) when Contractor reasonably believes that a Change in the Work is necessary or desirable (pursuant to a right set forth in this
Agreement); or (ii) when a Change in the Work is made necessary by Governmental Requirements. Any material Changes in the Work shall require Owner’s Lenders’ prior approval. 
 
3.1.4 If Contractor refuses or fails to timely provide a Change Proposal requested by Owner,
or modifies or alters a Change Proposal Request, or if Owner and Contractor are unable to agree in writing upon the terms of the Change Proposal requested by Owner, including, but not limited to: (i) the amount of increase or decrease in the
Contract Sum, or (ii) the length of extension or advancement, if any, of the Scheduled Completion Date, Owner: may (1) issue a Construction Change Directive pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement; (2) require Contractor to obtain at least
three bids from qualified Subcontractors to perform such Change in the Work, and Owner may designate the Subcontractor from said bidders to perform such Change in the Work, and/or (3) engage other contractors, subcontractors and/or laborers to
perform such Change in the Work, and Contractor shall cooperate fully with any of such persons, and any such hiring by Owner or issuance of a Construction Change Directive shall not affect this Agreement in any manner (other to provide for a
reduction in the Contract Sum, equal to the amount of any Work reflected in the Schedule of Values not being performed by Contractor) and shall not be deemed to be a constructive termination. 
 
3.1.5 No dispute between Owner and Contractor
relating to: (i) a change in the Contract Sum or the Scheduled Completion Date due to any Change in the Work, or (ii) any Change in the Work (either additive or reductive) shall entitle Contractor to walk off the Project or to slow down the Work.

 
3.2 Construction Change
Directive. 
 
3.2.1 Owner
may, by Construction Change Directive, without invalidating or breaching the Contract, order a Change in the Work. Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive from Owner, Contractor shall promptly proceed with the Change in the Work involved
(including implementing any reductions in the Work) and advise Owner of the Contractor’s agreement (in which case Contractor shall sign and return the Construction Change Directive) or disagreement with the method, if any, provided in the
Construction Change Directive for determining the proper adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum and/or the Scheduled Completion Date. 
 

15 

 
3.2.2 A Construction Change Directive signed and unmodified by Contractor indicates the agreement of Contractor therewith, including the method, if any, provided in the Construction Change Directive for determining the adjustment, if
any, in the Contract Sum and/or the Scheduled Completion Date. Upon Contractor’s written acceptance and delivery thereof to Owner of the unmodified Construction Change Directive, that Construction Change Directive shall become a Change Order.
If Contractor fails to advise Owner of its agreement or disagreement with the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum and/or the Scheduled Completion Date within ten (10) calendar days after the delivery of the Construction Change Directive to
Contractor, then the Construction Change Directive shall be deemed approved by Contractor and shall become a Change Order, and Contractor shall have no right to any adjustment to the Contract Sum and/or the Scheduled Completion Date in excess of the
adjustments, if any, provided in the Construction Change Directive. 
 
3.2.3 If Contractor disagrees with the method or adjustment in the Contract Sum and/or the Scheduled Completion Date within the ten (10)-calendar day time period provided for in Section 3.2.2
above, the method and the adjustment shall be submitted to an appropriate consultant for a recommendation or binding resolution as Owner may elect. If the parties are unable within a reasonable period of time (as determined by Owner) to reach an
agreement or binding resolution by the consultant (if Owner elects) under the prior sentence or otherwise, the matter shall be resolved after Completion of the Work, in accordance with Section 15.11 of this Agreement. 
 
3.2.4 After Owner has issued a Construction
Change Directive and pending final determination of the adjustment, if any, in the Contract Sum, any amount not in dispute may be included in Payment Applications to be paid by Owner. 
 
3.3 Surety Waiver. Change Orders or Construction Change Directives as described
in this Agreement shall not be subject to inspection or approval by any sureties issuing any performance or labor and material payment bonds in connection with the Project, whether or not the Change Orders (or Construction Change Directives)
encompass “substantial” changes in the scope of Work undertaken by Contractor. Contractor shall cause any sureties, in issuing any performance or payment bonds in connection with the Project, to expressly waive any of their respective
rights to approve any Change Orders or Construction Change Directives executed by Owner and Contractor. 
 

	 	4.	 	STARTING AND COMPLETION DATE; DELAYS IN THE WORK. 

 
4.1 Commencement of Work. Contractor shall commence the Work in accordance with
the Project Construction Schedule no later than February 18, 2003 (“Date of Commencement”); provided that commencement of the construction phase of the Work shall commence upon Owner’s issuance to Contractor of a written notice
to proceed with the construction phase of the Work. If Owner fails to issue such a written notice to proceed in accordance with the Project Construction Schedule, and if no default has occurred under Section 8.1 of this Agreement, the
Scheduled Completion Date shall be extended pursuant to Change Order in accordance with Article 3 of this Agreement by one day for each full day that Owner fails to issue such notice to proceed. 
 

16 

 
4.2 Completion of the Work. 
 
4.2.1 Contractor shall proceed expeditiously with adequate forces, and shall achieve Substantial Completion of the Work (as defined in Section 13.10 of this Agreement) not later than January 27,
2005 (the “Scheduled Completion Date”), subject to any Excusable Delays (as defined in Section 13.8 of this Agreement). Subject to Section 4.2.2 below, if any Excusable Delays occur and subject to the procedures set
forth in Section 4.2.5 of this Agreement, the Scheduled Completion Date shall be extended by one day for each full day of Excusable Delay delaying “critical path” items. The Scheduled Completion Date also shall be extended or
accelerated as the parties may agree pursuant to any Change Order(s) approved by Owner (if any). If minor items remain to be completed after Substantial Completion of the Work (the “Punchlist Items”), Contractor shall complete the
Punchlist Items and achieve Completion of the Work, within a reasonable time, but in any case not later than sixty (60) calendar days following Substantial Completion of the Work. Contractor has prepared and delivered to Owner a “Project
Construction Schedule” indicating the time required to complete each portion of the Work. The Owner approved Project Construction Schedule is attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. The
Project Construction Schedule may not be changed without the prior written approval of Owner (and Owner’s Lenders as to material changes) and shall identify and label the “critical path” items. 
 
4.2.1.1 Within 15 days of Substantial
Completion of the Work (as defined in Section 13.10), Contractor shall submit to Owner the Contractors Completion Certificate (Exhibit M). 
 
4.2.2 If any Excusable Delay occurs and as a condition precedent to the granting of an extension of time, Contractor shall
within five (5) calendar days of the beginning of such Excusable Delay, give Owner written notice of the Excusable Delay, which notice shall include an explanation of the Excusable Delay and its impact on the critical path items of construction
(including a description, as fully as practicable, at that time, of the nature, cause and expected duration of the delay), and shall set forth Contractor’s proposed new Scheduled Completion Date. If Owner and Contractor agree on the Excusable
Delay and its effect, all in accordance with Section 4.2.5 of this Agreement, any extension of the Scheduled Completion Date shall be reflected in a Change Order which must be approved by Owner (and Owner’s Lenders as to material
changes) in writing in order to give effect to any extension of the Scheduled Completion Date. If Owner and Contractor are unable to agree, any issue of Excusable Delays shall be resolved after Completion of the Work, in accordance with Section
15.11 of this Agreement. 
 
4.2.3 Contractor shall keep the Project Construction Schedule up-to-date and revised on a monthly basis. The up-to-date Project Construction Schedule as revised shall be provided by Contractor to Owner on a monthly basis. Contractor
also shall forward to Owner and Owner’s Lenders each month a monthly summary report of the progress of various parts of the Work under the Contract, describing the existing status of the Work, rate of progress, estimated time of completion,
cause of any Delays in the Work (as defined in Section 13.7 of this Agreement), and a comparison of actual progress with the most recent Project Construction Schedule. If Owner reasonably determines at any time that the progress of the Work,
or any portion of the Work, is behind the periods set forth in the 

 

17 

Project Construction Schedule or reasonably believes that the Work will not be complete by the Scheduled Completion Date, then immediately
following written notice from Owner, Contractor shall submit to Owner for its review and approval a narrative description of the means and methods which Contractor intends to employ to expedite the progress of the Work to ensure timely completion of
the various phases of the Work as well as the totality of the Work, and Owner shall have the right to require Contractor to work its construction crews and Subcontractors and other personnel overtime, and to direct Contractor to take all other
necessary action, including, without limitation, increasing the number of personnel and implementing double shifts. Such overtime work and other actions shall continue until such time as the Work has progressed so that it complies with the stage of
completion required by the Project Construction Schedule. Additional costs incurred due to such overtime work and other actions shall be at Contractor’s sole cost and expense and shall not result in any adjustment in the Contract Sum.
Owner’s exercise of any of its rights under the Contract Documents including, but not limited to, rights regarding a Change in the Work, or Owner’s exercise of any of its remedies, including, but not limited to, Owner’s rights under
Section 8.2 of this Agreement, or Owner’s rights to require correction or re-execution of any Work, shall not under any circumstances be construed as interference with Contractor’s performance of the Work. 
 
4.2.4 Other than as expressly allowed and
solely to the extent provided for under Section 8.5 of this Agreement, Contractor agrees for itself and its agents and for its Subcontractors and Vendors, and will cause each Subcontractor to agree by its subcontract with Contractor for
performance of the Work and each Vendor to agree by its agreement or purchase order with Contractor for materials, supplies, equipment, and/or related services for the Work, that it will make no claim or claims against the Property, Project, Owner
(or any party affiliated or associated with Owner or any assets of Owner), or Owner’s Lenders for damages or losses incurred as a result of or arising out of Delays in the Work, including, but not limited to, any Excusable Delays (as defined in
Section 13.8 of this Agreement). Lost time from any Excusable Delays in the Work, if claimed by the Contractor and approved by Owner in accordance with this Agreement, solely and completely will be compensated and balanced by an extension of
the Scheduled Completion Date. The Contractor and each Subcontractor and Vendor shall accept any such extensions at no additional cost to Owner, and waive and relinquish any right to payments of any kind for any Delays in the Work, including,
without limitation, for any Excusable Delays. 
 
4.2.5 To the extent Contractor or any Subcontractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by an Excusable Delay, then the Scheduled Completion Date shall be reasonably extended by Change Order in accordance with the
procedures described this Section 4.2.5 and in Article 3. 
 
4.2.5.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract Documents, any item that cannot be demonstrated as being on or affecting the critical path of the Work shall not result in an extension of
time to perform the Work in the event such item is delayed. Further, to the extent any Delay in the Work could have been prevented or reduced if Contractor had, with diligence and due care and its best skill and attention consistent with the terms
of the Contract Documents, performed its duties and responsibilities under the Contract Documents, such delay will not entitle Contractor to an extension of the Scheduled Completion Date (except for that portion, if any, of such Delay 

 

18 

in the Work which could not have been reduced consistent with the foregoing, and subject to the other requirements of the Contract Documents,
including this Section 4.2.5). 
 
4.2.5.2 Extensions of the Scheduled Completion Date for the Work will be authorized by Owner only if (a) Contractor has been necessarily delayed in meeting such Scheduled Completion Date by a cause which constitutes an Excusable
Delay; (b) the completion of the Work by the Scheduled Completion Date is actually and necessarily delayed by such cause; (c) the effect of such cause cannot be avoided or mitigated by the exercise of all reasonable precautions, efforts and
measures, including planning, scheduling and rescheduling, whether before or after the occurrence of the cause of delay, and (d) Contractor has met any notice requirements set forth in this Agreement and the other Contract Documents for it to be
entitled to any extension of time. All extensions of time to which Contractor is entitled hereunder will be acknowledged by Change Order. 
 
4.2.5.3 The period of any extension of time for delay shall be only that which is necessary to make up the time actually
lost for a Work item or items specifically identifiable on the Project Construction Schedule as being on or affecting the critical path of the Work at the time in which the delay occurs. 
 
4.2.5.4 Contractor shall not be entitled to receive a separate extension of time for each of
several causes of delay operating concurrently but only for the actual period of delay in completion of the Work irrespective of the number of causes contributing to produce such delay. If one of several causes of delay operating concurrently
results from any act, fault or omission of Contractor or Subcontractor or for which Contractor or Subcontractor is responsible, and would of itself, irrespective of the concurrent causes, have delayed the Work, no extension of time will be allowed
for the period of delay resulting from such act, fault or omission. Further all such extensions shall be netted out with any reductions in the Scheduled Completion Date, before implementing any such extension or increase pursuant to a Change Order.

 
4.2.5.5 It shall in all cases
be presumed that no extension, or further extension, of time is due unless Contractor shall affirmatively demonstrate the extent thereof to the reasonable satisfaction of Owner and a Change Order is entered into pursuant to Article 3 of this
Agreement. Contractor shall maintain adequate records supporting any claim for an extension of the Scheduled Completion Date.

notice claims (other than a lien or stop notice which is the result solely of Owner’s failure to issue payment to Contractor in breach of this Agreement) are filed by anyone in relation to the labor, services, materials or supplies rendered or
supplied to the Work, Contractor, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain a bond in an amount and with a 

 

23 

bonding company satisfactory to Owner in Owner’s and Owner’s Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion, and file with the
appropriate court a petition to substitute the bond for such lien or claim within five (5) working days after receipt of notice thereof (or such lesser period in any loan documents relating to Owner’s Lenders), and obtain a court order within

otherwise, as well as Owner’s attorneys’ fees and costs in connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid to Owner by Contractor with interest thereon per annum at the prime rate (as then published by Bank of America) plus two percent (2%)
from the date such expenses, fees or costs were incurred by Owner until the date repaid by Contractor. 
 
5.9 Contractor’s Familiarity. 
 
5.9.1 Execution of this Agreement by Contractor is Contractor’s representation and
warranty to Owner that the Contract Documents that exist as of the Effective Date (including, without limitation, the Project Design Criteria and Drawings) are, full and complete, and that the same are now sufficient to enable Contractor to
determine the Contract Sum, to construct the Work in accordance with the Contract, and otherwise timely to fulfill all of its obligations under the Contract, including, but not limited to, Contractor’s obligation to complete the Work for an
amount not in excess of the Contract Sum on or before the Scheduled Completion Date. Contractor further represents and warrants to Owner that Contractor: (i) is highly experienced with construction projects substantially similar to the Work, (ii)
has had ample time to familiarize itself with, and has fully reviewed and familiarized itself with (and will continue to review and familiarize itself with) (a) the Contract Documents, including, without limitation, the Project Design Criteria and
Drawings, (b) the Governmental Requirements, and (c) the Technical Studies and Reports, and (iii) has visited and examined the Property (and will continue to do so), has investigated all physical, legal, and other conditions affecting the Work, and
fully is familiar with all of the conditions on, under, about and affecting the portion of the Property on which the Work will be performed in connection with the Project. 
 
5.9.2 Contractor has taken (and will continue to take) field measurements and verified (and
will continue to verify) field conditions, and carefully compared such field measurements and conditions and other information known to Contractor with the Contract Documents and has not found any omissions, errors or discrepancies.
Contractor’s duty to carefully study and compare Contract Documents with each other and with field measurements and report to Owner, in writing, any errors, inconsistencies, discrepancies, ambiguities, conflicts or omissions is ongoing and
extends for the full term of the Work, and Contractor shall not proceed on that portion of the Work where any such errors, omissions, inconsistencies, ambiguities, discrepancies, or conflicts are found without prior written instruction from Owner.

 

24 

 
5.9.3 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Contractor specifically represents and warrants to Owner that it has satisfied itself as to: (1) the nature, location, and character of the Work and the portion of the Property
on which the Work will be performed in connection with the Project, including, without limitation, all improvements and obstructions on and under such portion of the Property, both natural and man-made; (2) the nature, location, and character of the
general area in which the Project is located, including, without limitation, its climatic conditions, available labor supply and labor costs, and available equipment supply and equipment costs; and (3) the quality and quantity of all materials,
supplies, tools, equipment, labor, and professional services necessary to achieve Completion of the Work pursuant to and in accordance with the Contract and for no greater than the Contract Sum and by the Scheduled Completion Date. 
 
5.9.4 In connection with the foregoing,
Contractor represents and warrants to Owner that it (i) has determined the Contract Sum with respect to all of the foregoing, and (ii) has no knowledge of any errors, inconsistencies, discrepancies, omissions, ambiguities, or conflicts in any or all
of, or between or among any of the Contract Documents, and that if it becomes aware of any such errors, inconsistencies, discrepancies, omissions, ambiguities, or conflicts, it promptly will notify Owner in writing and take appropriate steps (with
the prior written approval of Owner) to address the same. 
 
5.9.5 Further articulation of the Contract Documents shall not be the basis for any change to the Contract Sum or Scheduled Completion Date. If Contractor encounters any unforeseen conditions during
the course of the Work, it shall promptly notify Owner in writing and Changes in the Work, if any, shall be made by Change Order. Any conditions that Contractor reasonably should have foreseen given Contractor’s status as a Contractor
experienced with Construction projects of similar size and complexity as the Work and Contractor’s review of the Property, the Contract Documents, the Technical Studies and Reports, shall not be a basis for an increase in the Contract Sum or
extension of the Scheduled Completion Date. The failure of the Contractor fully to acquaint itself with any provision of the Contract Documents or other matter shall not in any way relieve it from responsibility for performing the Work in accordance
with the Contract Documents, and for the Contract Sum and by the Scheduled Completion Date. 
 
5.9.6 Neither Owner nor any person on behalf of Owner has made representations or warranties, oral or written, to
Contractor or any of its agents with respect to the conditions of the Property or improvements thereon, or regarding the completeness, correctness, or adequacy of any Technical Studies and Reports or Contract Documents.

Substantial Completion of the Work and as a condition precedent to Final Payment, Contractor shall furnish to Owner record (i.e., “as built”) drawings showing the effect of Change Orders and Construction Change Directives, any
Change in the Work not authorized by Change Order or Construction Change Directive, general construction, mechanical, electrical, and all other Work, and indicating the Work as actually completed and installed. These as-built drawings shall consist
of carefully drawn markings on a set of reproducible mylar of the Plans and Specifications (and electronically when available). Contractor shall maintain at the Property one current record copy of the Plans and Specifications, Change Orders,
Construction Change Directives, approved 

 

25 

Submittals and other modifications, in good order and marked to record changes and selections made during construction.

shall prepare or cause to be prepared and review, approve and submit to Owner shop drawings, product data, samples and similar submittals (“Submittals”) required by the Contract Documents with reasonable promptness and in such
sequence as to cause no delay in the Work or in the activities of Owner or Other Builders at the Property. Submittals made by Contractor which are not required by the Contract Documents and/or are not submitted in compliance with the Contract
Documents may be returned without action. Contractor shall perform no portion of the Work requiring a Submittal unless such Submittal has been approved in writing by Owner. Such Work shall be in accordance with the Submittals as approved by Owner.
In submitting shop drawings, product data, samples and similar Submittals, Contractor represents and warrants that it has determined and verified materials, field measurements and field construction criteria related to them, and has checked and
coordinated the information contained within such Submittals with the requirements of the Work and of the Contract Documents. Contractor shall not be relieved of responsibility for deviations from requirements of the Contract Documents by any
approval by Owner of any Submittal unless Contractor has specifically informed Owner in writing of such deviation at the time of the Submittal, and Owner has given prior written approval to the specific deviation. Contractor shall not be relieved of
responsibility for errors or omissions in shop drawings, product data, samples or similar Submittals by reason of any approval by Owner.

Contractor shall not contract with any Subcontractor if such Subcontractor is or has been rejected by Owner. Contractor shall not be required to contract with any Subcontractor against whom it has a reasonable objection. Contractor shall not make
any substitution for any Subcontractor that has been accepted by Owner in writing, unless such substitution is first accepted by Owner in writing. At the request of Owner, Contractor shall provide copies of the licenses for Contractor and any
Subcontractor to Owner. Contractor shall not permit any Subcontractor to perform Work on the Project without first obtaining a copy of such Subcontractor’s valid license to perform such Work. 
 
5.12.2 All Work performed for or on behalf of
Contractor by a Subcontractor shall be pursuant to an appropriate written agreement between Contractor and such Subcontractor (and where appropriate, between Subcontractors and their Subcontractors and/or Vendors) which shall contain provisions
that: (i) preserve and protect the rights of Owner under the Contract with respect to the Work to be performed under the 

 

26 

subcontract, so that the subcontracting of the Work shall not prejudice such rights and shall require that such Work be performed in
accordance with the requirements of the Plans and Specifications and other Contract Documents and for the provision of information for Contractor to comply with its obligations under the Contract; and (ii) require that the subcontract and any
purchase orders may not be assigned by Subcontractor or any Vendor but permit the assignment of the subcontract and any purchase orders by Contractor to Owner or a third party designated by Owner, including Owner’s Lenders, and such assignees
shall have the right to enforce such subcontracts and purchase orders. 
 
5.12.3 All subcontract agreements shall conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents. Contractor shall not waive or fail to exercise any material or significant right or remedy under any
subcontract or waive any material or significant default under any subcontract without Owner’s prior written approval. Contractor shall direct and supervise each Subcontractor fully and shall have full and complete authority with respect to
such direction and supervision subject to the terms of the Contract Documents. Notwithstanding the exercise of any of Owner’s rights of approval or disapproval in the subcontracting process or the process of managing subcontracts, Contractor
shall be responsible and liable to Owner for all acts and/or omissions of Subcontractors and/or Vendors. 
 
5.12.4 Contractor hereby assigns to Owner all its interest in all subcontract agreements and purchase orders now existing
or hereafter entered into by Contractor for performance of any part of the Work, which assignment will be effective only upon acceptance by Owner in writing and only as to those subcontract agreements and purchase orders that Owner designates in
said writing. Such assignment may not be withdrawn by Contractor prior to the end of the Warranty Period (as defined in Section 12.2 of this Agreement), and Owner may accept said assignment at any time prior to the end of the Warranty Period.
Upon such acceptance by Owner: (i) Contractor shall promptly furnish to Owner the originals of the designated subcontract agreements and purchase orders, and (ii) Owner shall be required to compensate the designated Subcontractor(s) or Vendor(s)
only for compensation accruing to same for Work done or materials delivered from and after the date as of which Owner accepts in writing assignment of such subcontract agreement(s) or purchase order(s). All sums due and owing by Contractor to the
designated Subcontractor(s) or Vendor(s) for work performed or material supplied prior to the date as of which Owner accepts in writing assignment of the subcontract agreement(s) or purchase order(s), and all other obligations of Contractor accruing
prior to Owner’s written acceptance of such assignment, shall constitute a debt and an obligation solely between such Subcontractor(s) or Vendor(s) and Contractor, and Owner shall have no liability with respect to such sums or any other
obligations of Contractor. 
 
5.13 Cooperation. 
 
5.13.1 Contractor acknowledges that a portion of the Project will attach to and/or be joined into the Casino Improvements.Accordingly, in connection with the Work on the Project, Contractor shall cooperate fully with Owner and Other

equipment on the portion of the Property relating to the Project and shall permit the execution of their work on the portion of the Property relating to the Project, and Contractor shall connect its Work with theirs as and when required under the
Contract Documents. If any part of Contractor’s Work depends in part for proper execution or results upon the work of the Other Builders (or vice versa), Contractor shall, prior to proceeding with such Work, promptly report in writing to Owner
any apparent discrepancies or defects in such other work or activities that would render it unsuitable for proper execution or results or incompatible with Contractor’s Work. Failure of Contractor to do so shall constitute an acknowledgement
and agreement by Contractor that the Other Builders’ completed or partially completed work is fit and proper to receive Contractor’s Work and such construction and/or activity is fully compatible with Contractor’s Work. Should
Contractor or its Subcontractors, Vendors or any other person performing Work for or on behalf of Contractor on the Project cause any damage or loss to the work of the Other Builders, Contractor shall promptly remedy such damage or loss. Owner also
shall require the Other Builders promptly to remedy any damage or loss to the Work of the Contractor caused by such Other Builders or their subcontractors or any other person performing work on the Casino Improvements for or on behalf of such Other

5.13.3 Contractor will not
engage in, nor commit its personnel to engage in, any other projects while performing Work on the Project to any extent that such other projects may materially and adversely affect the quality or efficiency of the Work required to be performed by
Contractor in connection with this Project or which will otherwise be detrimental to the carrying on and completion of this Project.

6.1.2 Dismiss Subcontractors, Vendors and
employees of Contractor who, in Contractor’s reasonable opinion, are not properly performing the tasks which shall have been assigned to them. 
 
6.1.3 Perform, supervise, or direct any and all other tasks which Contractor shall reasonably deem to be necessary or
appropriate to facilitate the construction of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents. 
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract, including, but not limited to, this Article 6, Contractor and its
Subcontractors and Vendors shall access the Project and confine all activities and Work on the Project to the areas as directed by Owner. 
 
6.2 Selection of Materials; Variation from Plans. Unless otherwise specified or provided for in the Contract
Documents or in any written notice from Owner (which shall thereafter become part of the Contract Documents to the extent expressly so provided in such written notice), Contractor shall select all materials, appliances, mechanical devices, supplies
and equipment to be incorporated into the Work. Contractor shall promptly notify Owner in writing if any items in the Contract Documents shall not be readily available, and Owner shall have the right (but not the obligation) to designate an
available substitute item pursuant to Change Order. Nothing in this Section 6.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall derogate from Contractor’s responsibility to select, order, and timely purchase such items. If Contractor does not
timely order or arrange for delivery of items or materials required for the Work, Owner may (but is not obligated to) arrange for delivery or order such items and materials and in such event the Contract Sum shall be reduced by the cost of such
items and materials arranged for or ordered by Owner. 
 

	 	7.	 	RIGHTS OF OWNER. 

 
7.1 Generally. Solely Todd Nisbet and Darrell Richards shall have the authority to act on behalf of Owner
under this Agreement, subject to Owner’s right to withdraw, substitute or replace Todd Nisbet and/or Darrell Richards, with notice to Contractor. Contractor shall take direction and instruction from Todd Nisbet or Darrell Richards on behalf of
Owner, with regard to the Property, Work and Project. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Owner shall have the right to require Contractor to remove any employee of Contractor (including, without limitation, the Project
Manager, General Superintendent, Project Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Layout Man, Shaping Crew, Irrigation Foreman) from the Project and to terminate any Subcontractor and/or Vendor whose work is not deemed satisfactory by Owner, who is
abusive of Owner’s property, who employs vile language, who is disorderly, or as to whom Owner has any other reasonable objection. 
 
7.2 Partial Occupancy Or Use. Owner may occupy or use any completed or partially completed portion of the
Work at any stage, including opening 

 

29 

portions of the Project to the public. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract, any such partial occupancy or use shall not: (i)
constitute final acceptance of any Work, (ii) relieve Contractor of responsibility for loss or damage because of or arising out of defects in, or malfunctioning of, any Work, material, or equipment, or from any other unfulfilled obligations or
responsibilities under the Contract Documents, (iii) commence any warranty period under the Contract Documents (provided Contractor shall not be liable for ordinary wear and tear resulting from such partial occupancy), or (iv) entitle Contractor to
any Retainage. Contractor and Owner shall cooperate in all aspects of Owner’s partial use and occupancy of the Work and Project, including, without limitation, scheduling, allocation of costs of utilities, access and storage, any cost
impacts as may mutually be agreed upon between Owner and Contractor, and all other arrangements. Unless and until Owner issues a Certificate of Substantial Completion pursuant to Section 13.10 of this Agreement for such portion of the Work
partially occupied or used by Owner, Owner shall not be obligated to pay Retainage relating to such portion of the Work at that time partially used or occupied by Owner, and it is the express intent of Contractor and Owner that Contractor waive the
benefits of Section 624.620 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. 
 
7.3 Owner’s Right to Award Separate Contracts. Owner reserves the right to award separate contracts to persons other than Contractor (including, but not limited to, Other Builders)
or to use its own forces to perform work or other activities on the Project (including, without limitation, pursuant to Article 3 and Sections 8.3 and 8.5 of this Agreement or otherwise) or on the Property. 
 

	 	8.	 	CONTRACTOR’S DEFAULTS AND OWNER’S REMEDIES. 

 
8.1 Contractor’s Defaults. Each of the following occurrences is a default
of Contractor under the Contract: 
 
8.1.1 The failure of Contractor to perform the Work in a diligent, expeditious, workmanlike and careful manner strictly in accordance with the Contract, including, but not limited to, in compliance with all Governmental Requirements,
or any other failure of Contractor to comply with the Contract or to perform any material obligations under the Contract (including, without limitation, the failure of Contractor to pay timely Subcontractors and Vendors for Work performed or
material supplied for the Project or the failure of Contractor to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work or Completion of the Work within the time periods prescribed by Section 4.2.1 of this Agreement), unless Contractor takes and
completes corrective action satisfactory to Owner, in Owner’s sole and absolute discretion, with respect to any such failure within five (5) calendar days following written notice from Owner specifying the failure or other default (unless a
different, specific time period for Contractor’s performance is set forth in this Agreement, in which case Contractor shall have such specified period in lieu of such five (5)-calendar day period within which to take and complete corrective
action); provided, however, that if the nature of Contractor’s failure or default (excluding any failure to pay Subcontractors or Vendors, any failure to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work or Completion of the Work within
the time periods prescribed by Section 4.2.1 of this Agreement, and any failure or default of the type referred to in Sections 8.1.2, 8.1.3, 8.1.4, 8.1.5 or 8.1.6 of this Agreement) is such that corrective action cannot be reasonably
completed within the aforesaid five (5)-calendar day period, then Contractor shall (unless such default or failure is 

 

30 

a second occurrence in which event Contractor shall not have any right to cure except within said five (5)-calendar day period) not be in
default under this Agreement if it commences corrective action within such five (5)-calendar day period and thereafter diligently completes such corrective action within the shortest feasible time (but in no event longer than sixty (60) calendar
days) and in a manner satisfactory to Owner, in Owner’s sole and absolute discretion; and provided, further, that no cure period shall apply in the case of any failure or default which, by its nature, cannot be cured. 
 
8.1.2 The making by Contractor of any general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Contractor of a petition to have Contractor adjudged a bankrupt or be discharged of its debts or of a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy
unless, in the case of a petition filed against Contractor, the same is dismissed within ten (10) business days of the filing; or the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all or a significant portion of Contractor’s
assets. 
 
8.1.3 The recordation
of a mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien on the Property or the Work by a Subcontractor or Vendor or any other person performing Work relating to the Project, provided that Contractor, at its sole cost and expense, does not obtain a bond in
an amount and with a bonding company satisfactory to Owner in Owner’s and Owner’s Lenders’ sole and absolute discretion, and file with the appropriate court a petition to substitute the bond for such lien within five (5) working days
after receipt of notice of such lien (or such lesser period in any loan documents relating to Owner’s Lenders), and obtain a court order within thirty (30) calendar days after filing such petition, allowing substitution of the bond for such
lien. 
 
8.1.4 Failure of
Contractor for three (3) successive calendar days or an aggregate of five (5) calendar days in any thirty (30) calendar day period (other than Sundays or national holidays), to have an adequate number of Subcontractors at the Property who are
actively and productively working on the Project, unless Excusable Delays exist for such absence. 
 
8.1.5 Failure of Contractor for five (5) calendar days following a request from Owner to provide Owner with evidence of
satisfactory funds (and a perfected first priority lien therein) available to make up any overage with regard to the Contract Sum as required under Section 2.2 of this Agreement. 
 
8.1.6 Owner’s good faith belief that Contractor will not complete the Work within the
time periods required under the Contract Documents or within the Contract Sum. 
 
8.2 Owner’s Remedies. In the event of any default of Contractor specified under Section 8.1 above (which is not an all-inclusive list of defaults), or any other default of or
failure to perform by Contractor under the Contract, which is not cured within the express applicable time period (if any), set forth in Sections 8.1.1 through 8.1.6 above, Owner may, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of
Owner: 
 

31 

 
8.2.1 terminate the Contract, reduce the scope of Contractor’s services, or suspend, delay or interrupt the Work in whole or in part for such period of time as Owner may determine by written notice specifying the effective date
of such termination, reduction, suspension, delay or interruption; provided, however, the right of Owner to terminate the Contract or reduce, suspend, delay, or interrupt the Work shall not give rise to a duty on the part of Owner to exercise this
right for the benefit of Contractor or any other person or entity. If Owner elects to delay, suspend or interrupt the Work or reduce the scope of Contractor’s services due to a default by Contractor, Contractor shall not be entitled to any
further payments under the Contract unless and until such default is cured or Owner and Contractor reach mutual agreement in writing on a resolution of such default, nor shall Contractor be entitled to the benefits under Sections 8.3 or 8.5
of this Agreement with regard to any such termination, reduction, suspension, delay or interruption. No increase or upward adjustment shall be made in the Contract Sum for any such termination, reduction, suspension, delay or interruption, and in no
event shall Owner be liable for, or shall Contractor or any Subcontractor, Vendor or any other party performing any Work on the Property be entitled to, any lost opportunity, lost profit or consequential damages claimed or alleged by Contractor, any
Subcontractor, Vendor or any other party performing any Work on the Property and relating to any such termination, reduction, suspension, delay or interruption. If Owner first elects to suspend, delay or interrupt the Work, Owner also may at any
time thereafter elect to terminate the Contract. Upon termination of the Contract, Owner may: (a) enter upon the Property and take possession of all materials of any kind that have been paid for, that are to be incorporated into the Work, or to
which Owner has any ownership rights or interest, and finish the Work and provide the materials therefor or contract with others to do so by whatever method Owner deems expedient; (b) accept assignment of such subcontracts or purchase orders, if
any, as Owner may specify in writing; and/or (c) pursue any other rights or remedies provided for under the Contract Documents or available at law, in equity or otherwise. In case of such termination, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment unless and until the Work is finished, at which time Contractor shall be entitled, subject to the terms of the Contract Documents, to receive only such additional payments under the Contract, if any, as are provided in Section
8.6 of this Agreement. If a court determines that reduction, suspension, delay or interruption of the Work or termination of Contractor pursuant to this Section 8.2 was wrongful, such reduction, suspension, delay or interruption of the
Work or termination will be deemed converted to a suspension, delay, interruption or termination for convenience pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.5, as the case may be, of this Agreement, and Contractor’s exclusive remedy for wrongful
reduction, suspension, delay or interruption of the Work or termination shall be limited to the recovery of the payments required upon a termination for convenience as set forth in Section 8.3 of this Agreement or the adjustment, if any, in
the Contract Sum and/or Scheduled Completion Date required under Section 8.5 of this Agreement, as the case may be; or 
 
8.2.2 cure such default, and the cost of curing defaults, including, but not limited to, compensation for any additional
services and any other expenses arising from or related to such default (including, but not limited to, those listed in Section 8.6 of this Agreement) shall upon written notice to Contractor be deducted from any payments then or thereafter
due to Contractor under the Contract Sum. If payments then or thereafter due to Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amounts, Contractor shall pay the difference to Owner upon Owner’s demand and such amounts shall bear interest per annum
at the prime 

 

32 

rate (as then published by Bank of America) plus two percent (2%) from the date of demand until paid. 
 
8.3 Termination for
Convenience. Owner, for convenience or otherwise, may terminate Contractor’s services at any time upon five (5) calendar days prior written notice to Contractor. If Owner terminates Contractor’s services under this Section
8.3 (and without limitation of any of Owner’s rights with respect to a default or a breach by Contractor), Owner’s sole obligation and liability to Contractor shall be to reimburse Contractor (and Contractor’s exclusive remedy
shall be to receive reimbursement) for (i) the Cost of the Work incurred (and not cancelable or refundable) by Contractor for Work properly performed by Contractor up to the date of termination and approved by Owner in accordance with the Contract,
but not in excess of the portion of the Contract Sum equitably allocable to such Work (and less the portion of the Contractor’s fee to be paid pursuant to clause (ii) below) based on the value the percentage of such properly performed and
completed Work by Contractor bears to the total value of the Work included within the Contract Sum, plus (ii) a pro rata portion of the Contractor’s fee (as set forth on the Owner-approved Schedule of Values) based on the percentage obtained by
dividing the Work properly performed and completed through the effective date of such termination for convenience by the total Work required to be performed by Contractor under this Agreement, less all payments previously made to Contractor under
the Contract and any amounts owed by Contractor to Owner under the Contract. Any sum due to Contractor pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be promptly paid by Owner, and any overpayment shall be promptly refunded by Contractor to Owner.

 
8.4 Contractor’s
Cooperation Following Termination. If Owner terminates this Agreement pursuant to a right set forth in the Contract Documents, Contractor, upon receipt of Owner’s termination notice, shall: (i) place no further orders or subcontracts
for materials, equipment, services, or facilities, (ii) discontinue the Work on that date specified in the notice and thereupon vacate the Property and remove all equipment and materials owned by Contractor therefrom, (iii) promptly execute or cause
the execution of any and all required documents and assignments of right to Owner in connection with the termination of Contractor’s Work and (iv) deliver to Owner all such documents and all materials, equipment, or other items or things for
whose cost the Contractor requests or has requested reimbursement under this Agreement. Owner, however, shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse Contractor for any costs for which Contractor may be liable to Subcontractors or Vendors on account of
cancellation, termination, or restocking charges of any kind that are due to Contractor’s failure to bind such Subcontractors and Vendors to the terms and conditions of this Contract relating to termination. Any of Contractor’s equipment,
machinery and supplies not removed from the Property within seven (7) calendar days from the date of Owner’s request may be removed and stored by Owner at Contractor’s sole risk and expense. 
 
8.5 Suspensions By Owner.

 
8.5.1 Owner’s Right To
Suspend For Convenience. Owner may at any time, with or without cause, suspend, delay, reduce or interrupt performance of all or any portion of the Work for such period or periods as Owner elects (and without limitation of any of Owner’s
rights with respect to a breach or default by Contractor) by 

 

33 

giving Contractor five (5) calendar days’ written notice specifying which portion of the Work is to be suspended, delayed, reduced or
interrupted and the effective date of same. Such suspension, delay, reduction or interruption shall continue until Owner terminates the same by written notice to Contractor. No such suspension, delay, reduction or interruption by Owner shall
constitute a breach or default by Owner under the Contract Documents. Contractor shall continue to diligently perform any remaining Work that is not suspended, delayed, reduced or interrupted and shall take all actions necessary to maintain and
safeguard all materials, equipment, supplies and Work in progress affected by the suspension, delay, reduction or interruption. 
 
8.5.1.1 Payment Upon Suspension For Convenience. In the event of a suspension, delay, or interruption for
convenience by Owner, any necessary equitable adjustment shall be made by Change Order pursuant to Sections 3.1.2 and 4.2.5 of this Agreement (i) for an unavoidable increase, if any, in the Contract Sum, and/or an extension, if necessary, in
the Scheduled Completion Date, caused solely by such suspension, delay or interruption ordered by Owner for convenience, but only if and to the extent such delay, suspension or interruption exceeds a period of twenty (20) consecutive calendar days
following commencement of the construction phase of the Work, and (ii) for any reduction in the Contract Sum, and acceleration of the Scheduled Completion Date, relating to any such suspension, delay, interruption or reduction by Owner under this
Section 8.5. No increase or upward adjustment shall be made in the Contract Sum for any such suspension, delay, interruption or reduction, and in no event shall Owner be liable for, or shall Contractor or any Subcontractor or Vendor or any
other person performing any Work be entitled to, any lost opportunity, lost profit or consequential damages as a result of any suspension, delay, interruption or reduction by Owner under this Section 8.5. 
 
8.5.1.2 Provided, however,
that no adjustment shall be made to the extent that performance was otherwise subject to suspension, delay, or interruption by another cause for which Contractor or a Subcontractor or Vendor is responsible. 
 
8.6 Payment to Contractor Upon
Termination for Cause. 
 
8.6.1 If Owner terminates the Contract for Contractor’s breach or default (and subject to the satisfaction by Contractor of the conditions set forth in Section 8.6.3 below), Contractor shall thereafter be entitled, as and
when provided in Section 8.2 of this Agreement, to reimbursement only of such amount (if any), by which: 
 
8.6.1.1 the Cost of the Work for Work actually and properly completed by Contractor (and not cancelable or refundable) in
accordance with this Agreement and the other Contract Documents up to the date of such termination (but not to exceed the portion of the Contract Sum fairly allocable to the Work so completed), exceeds: 
 
8.6.1.2 the total of (i) all payments
theretofore made to Contractor under the Contract Documents, and (ii) all damages and other costs and expenses incurred by Owner, directly or indirectly, arising out of or as a result of Contractor’s breach or default, including, without
limitation: (1) the cost of any additional consultants’ services, or managerial and administrative services required thereby, (2) any additional costs incurred 

 

34 

in retaining another Contractor or other Subcontractors, (3) any additional financing, interest or fees and other costs that Owner must pay,
including by reason of a delay in completion of the Work, Owner’s termination of Contractor and the finishing of the Work by another method after such termination, (4) attorneys’ fees and expenses, and (5) any other damages, costs, and
expenses Owner may incur as a result of Contractor’s breach or default, including if Owner elects to complete the Project after such termination, the amount by which the actual cost of completing the Project (including the actual cost of
components of the Project that are not part of the Work) is greater than what such actual cost (including the actual cost of the components of the Project that are not part of the Work) would have been if Contractor had fulfilled its obligations
under the Contract Documents, and if Owner elects to not complete the Project after such termination, all damages suffered by Owner arising out of Contractor’s breach of this Agreement. 
 
8.6.2 If the amount referred to in Section
8.6.1.2 of this Agreement exceeds the amount referred to in Section 8.6.1.1 of this Agreement, Contractor shall pay the difference to Owner immediately upon Owner’s demand and such amount shall bear interest per annum at the prime
rate (as then published by Bank of America) plus two percent (2%) from the date of demand until paid. 
 
8.6.3 Any reimbursements or payments to be made to Contractor under this Section 8.6 are expressly conditioned on
(i) Contractor previously having delivered to Owner possession and unfettered access to the Work and Property and all materials, equipment, tools and the like (undamaged and in good condition) which Owner has paid for and/or been billed for; (ii)
Contractor previously having delivered to Owner all the items listed in, and having performed all the obligations described in, Sections 2.7.5.1 through 2.7.5.12 of this Agreement; and (iii) Contractor previously having complied with such
other obligations under the Contract Documents as Owner and/or Owner’s Lenders reasonably require. 
 
8.7 Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies of Owner under this Article 8 shall be
non-exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Owner under the Contract or at law, in equity or otherwise. 
 

	 	9.	 	CONTRACTOR’S REMEDIES. 

 
9.1 Contractor’s Remedies. 
 
9.1.1 If payment from Owner for a Payment Application (exclusive of amounts properly retained
or withheld or in dispute under the Contract), approved by Owner and Owner’s Lenders in accordance with this Agreement, has not been received by Contractor within thirty (30) calendar days of the date payment is due pursuant to this Agreement,
Contractor may cease work until such payment has been received, in which case the Scheduled Completion Date will be extended by the number of days of the cessation of Work. If payment of undisputed amounts to which Contractor is otherwise then
entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are not paid by Owner to Contractor within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice by Contractor (following the 30-calendar day period noted above) that the same are past due, Contractor may
terminate this Agreement upon five (5) additional business days’ written notice to Owner. 
 

35 

 
9.1.2 If Contractor terminates this Agreement with cause in accordance with this Agreement, Contractor shall be entitled, as its exclusive remedy, to the recovery of the amounts (if any) to which Contractor would have been entitled
had Owner, pursuant to Section 8.3 of this Agreement, terminated this Agreement for convenience effective as of the date this Agreement is so terminated by Contractor. Contractor, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or otherwise,
shall in no event be entitled to or seek recovery of any other amounts (including, without limitation, consequential damages, lost profits, lost opportunities, overhead, or similar amounts) in the event of any reduction in the scope or scale of the
Work or any suspension, delay, interruption or termination thereof, including, but not limited to, under Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.5 or this Section 9.1 of this Agreement. 
 

	 	10.	 	INSURANCE. 

 
10.1 Owner Controlled Insurance Program. 
 
10.1.1 The Owner, at its expense, has implemented an Owner Controlled Insurance Program
(“OCIP”) to furnish certain insurance coverages with respect to activities on the Property for the Project. The OCIP will be for the benefit of Owner, Contractor, and Subcontractors of all tiers (unless specifically excluded) who
have employees at the Project. Such coverage applies only to Work performed under the Contract Documents at the Property. The OCIP shall not include, and Owner shall not be responsible for providing, any insurance coverages other than those
specifically identified in the OCIP Manual (defined in Section 10.1.2 of this Agreement). In addition, the first $25,000 of each loss or damage covered under the Builder’s Risk Insurance policy, or uninsured losses, shall be paid for by
the responsible Contractor or Subcontractor. The Builder’s Risk insurance provided by Owner also does not cover loss of, or damage to, any tools, implements, equipment, scaffolds, form work, machinery, cranes, consumables, office trailers, tool
sheds, temporary structures or anything else which is not intended to become a permanent part of the finished Project. Contractor and eligible Subcontractors must provide their own insurance for activities off the Property and automobile liability
pursuant to the OCIP Manual, and the costs of such insurance for Contractor and Subcontractors shall be solely Contractor’s and Subcontractor’s responsibility. To the extent Contractor and or any Subcontractor becomes ineligible for the
OCIP or is no longer covered by the OCIP, Contractor and such Subcontractor shall provide all required insurance under the OCIP Manual. 
 
10.1.2 Details concerning the OCIP are provided in the “OCIP Manual” which is attached hereto as
Exhibit K and incorporated herein by this reference, and which has been made available to Contractor and has been or will be made available to its Subcontractors, for use in preparing their bids and estimates and in planning the performance
of their Work. Contractor and each Subcontractor will participate in the OCIP established for the Project in accordance with the OCIP Manual. Participation in the OCIP is mandatory but not automatic. Contractor shall, and Contractor shall cause all
Subcontractors to, complete all forms, submit the information required and abide by the mandates established in the OCIP Manual. Any exceptions to this requirement must be approved by Owner in writing in advance. 
 

36 

 
10.1.3 Within 60 days of the date of this Agreement, the Contractor shall provide to the Owner the estimated total cost of insurance for the Project as described in the OCIP Manual. The contract sum will be adjusted pursuant to
change order downward to reflect this estimated OCIP credit. At the end of the Project, prior to Final Payment, a final audit will be conducted (the “OCIP Audit”) to determine the exact amount of the credit based on the insurance
provided under the OCIP, and the Contract Sum will be adjusted pursuant to Change Order downward (but not in any event upward) to reflect the exact amount of the credit determined pursuant to the OCIP Audit. Contractor shall carefully review all
Subcontractor and pricing information to ensure that Owner is not required to pay a second time, as part of the Contract Sum, insurance coverages Owner has already purchased under the OCIP. Contractor also shall ensure that the net cost, if any, of
any Change Order entered into pursuant to this Agreement excludes any costs for insurance coverages Owner is furnishing under the OCIP, and Contractor shall expressly identify in any Change Order any credits owing to Owner in connection with such
Change Order for cost savings to be realized in connection with the Change Order as a result of Owner’s furnishing of the insurance coverages provided under the OCIP. 
 
10.2 Evidence of Coverage. 
 
10.2.1 Carriers Acceptable To
Owner. All policies required of Contractor and Subcontractors pursuant to this Agreement shall be maintained with insurance carriers that are acceptable to Owner and licensed in the State of Nevada. 
 
10.2.2 Failure to Comply.
Neither the Contractor nor any of its Subcontractors shall be entitled to receive payment for any Work performed, or to commence operations or Work on the Property or elsewhere until such time as they provide acceptable evidence of compliance with
the requirements of this Article 10. Any additional costs or delays caused by or arising out of any failures to comply with this Article 10, including the failure to furnish acceptable certificates of insurance prior to the Date of
Commencement, shall be solely the responsibility of Contractor and its Subcontractors. 
 
10.3 Deductibles. If any policy required to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement is subject to a
deductible, self-insured retention or similar self-insurance mechanism which limit or otherwise reduces coverage, the deductible, self-insured retention or similar self-insurance mechanism shall be the sole responsibility of Contractor in the event
of any loss arising out of the acts or omissions of Contractor, any Subcontractor or vendor or other person performing Work on or at the Project. 
 
10.4 Cooperation by the Parties. Owner and Contractor shall fully cooperate with each other in connection
with the collection of any insurance monies that may be due in the event of a loss. Owner and Contractor shall promptly execute and deliver such proofs of loss and other instruments which may be required for the purpose of obtaining recovery of any
such insurance monies. 
 
10.5
Duration. All General Liability, Automobile Liability, Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability insurance required by Owner shall be kept in force without interruption until Completion of the Work. Contractor and its
Subcontractors shall maintain completed operations insurance for a period of two (2) years after Completion of 

 

37 

the Work for non-OCIP covered scope. The Builder’s All-Risk Insurance shall remain in force until Contractor has achieved Completion of
the Work in its entirety in accordance with this Agreement. 
 

	 	11.	 	INDEMNIFICATION. 

 
11.1 Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor hereby indemnifies and agrees to protect,
defend, and hold Owner, Wynn Resorts, LLC, The Wynn Group, Wynn Design and Development LLC, Valvino Lamore, LLC, and Owner’s Lenders and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, and parent companies, and their respective members, officers,
directors, employees, agents, shareholders, trustees, beneficiaries, heirs, administrators, personal representatives, advisors, attorneys, and successors and assigns (collectively “Indemnitees” and singularly an
“Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, suits, actions, legal or administrative proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, awards, or judgments, including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees and costs (whether or not suit is filed) (collectively “Claims” and singularly a “Claim”), any Indemnitee(s) may suffer or incur or be threatened with, and whether based on statutory,
contractual, tort, common law or other theory, that are: (i) imposed by law; (ii) arising, by reason of, or relating directly or indirectly to (a) the death of or bodily injury to any person or persons, including, without limitation, employees of
Contractor, (b) injury to property (including loss of use and the Work itself or the Casino Improvements, and including all costs for repair or replacement of Work, materials, supplies or equipment (whether on or off the Property or in transit) and
including whether lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed), equipment, or material, including, without limitation, any of the same resulting or arising out of the performance of the Work performed by Contractor or any Subcontractor or Vendor, or any
other person performing Work in connection with the Project for, on behalf of, or under the direction of Contractor, (c) violation of or failure to comply with or abide by any Governmental Requirements or variations from the Contract Documents in
the actual construction of the Work, (d) any infringement of the rights of any third party, including, without limitation, copyright and patent rights (in connection with which Contractor shall pay all royalties and license fees), (e) any stop
notices, mechanics’ liens or similar claims relating to any labor, services, materials, goods or equipment, whether provided by Contractor, Subcontractor, Vendor or any other person performing Work in connection with the Project, and (f) any
breach or alleged breach of Contractor’s warranties, representations, obligations, covenants or agreements set forth in the Contract, and/or (iii) relating to or arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, the performance of the
Work, or from any act or omission of Contractor, or any Subcontractor or Vendor, or any other person performing Work in connection with the Project for, on behalf of, or under the direction of Contractor, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by
any of them, or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable or responsible at law, in equity, under the Contract Documents or otherwise, regardless of whether or not such Claim is caused in whole or in part by an Indemnitee; provided,
however, that such indemnification obligation, as to a respective Indemnitee, shall not extend to Claims to the extent, but only to the extent, that such result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
 
11.1.1 The indemnification obligations under
this Article 11 or otherwise under the Contract Documents shall apply to and include those Claims arising from the negligent, tortuous, intentional or other acts of the indemnifying parties, and such 

 

38 

indemnification obligations are primary to any insurance in the names of the Indemnitees. Such indemnification obligations shall not be
limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of insurance coverages carried whether pursuant to the Contract Documents or otherwise, the amount of insurance proceeds available or paid, or any limitation on the amount or type of
damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Contractor or any Subcontractor or other person or entity under workmen’s compensation acts, disability benefit acts or other employee benefit acts. 
 
11.1.2 The indemnification obligations under
this Article 11 or otherwise under the Contract Documents also shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of Contractor, including, but not limited to, any obligation of indemnity which would otherwise
exist at law, in equity, or otherwise in favor of an Indemnitee. 
 
11.1.3 The indemnification obligations under this Article 11 or otherwise under the Contract Documents, including defense costs, shall include all attorneys’ fees, investigation costs,
expert witness fees, court costs, and other costs and expenses incurred by any Indemnitee. If any Claim occurs or is threatened, Contractor shall promptly notify Owner and shall defend Owner and the other Indemnitees with counsel reasonably
acceptable to Owner, at Contractor’s expense, unless Owner elects to defend itself, in which case Contractor shall pay for Owner’s reasonable defense costs. 
 
11.1.4 Contractor shall use all best efforts to cause all subcontracts, purchase orders or
other agreements with Subcontractors or Vendors, or any other person performing Work in connection with the Project for, on behalf of, or under the direction of Contractor, to include the same indemnity as that given by Contractor in this Article
11 in favor of the Indemnitees. 
 
11.2 Survival of Indemnification Provisions. The indemnification obligations set forth in this Article 11 shall apply irrespective of whether or not any Subcontractors or Vendors obtain or fail to obtain any
required insurance coverages, shall apply during the performance of the Work, and shall survive any termination of the Contract or the Completion of the Work. 
 

	 	12.	 	WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS. 

 
12.1 Contractor’s Warranty. Contractor guarantees and warrants to Owner that (a) the Work, whether
performed by Contractor’s own personnel or by any Subcontractors or Vendors, shall be first class in quality, free from all faults and defects whatsoever (including, without limitation, patent, latent or developed defects or inherent vice), and
in strict conformance with the Contract Documents and the highest standard for construction practices and quality applicable to first class, championship golf course, and (b) all materials, appliances, mechanical devices, supplies, and equipment
incorporated into the Work shall be new and first class in grade and quality and shall strictly meet the specifications and requirements set forth in the Contract Documents. If requested by Owner at any time and from time to time, Contractor will
furnish satisfactory evidence to Owner as to the kind and quality of materials, appliances, mechanical devices, supplies and equipment incorporated or to be incorporated into the Work. All Work not conforming to the 

 

39 

requirements of this Section 12.1 (including, without limitation, substitutions or deviations not properly approved and authorized by
Owner in writing by Change Order), shall be considered defective. 
 
12.2 Contractor’s Warranty Period. While Contractor, Subcontractors and Vendors shall be responsible for strict compliance with the requirements of Section 12.1 above
throughout the course of the Work, the “Warranty Period” shall commence upon Final Payment and shall extend for a period of twelve (12) months, from the date of Final Payment or for such longer period as may be set forth in an
applicable manufacturer’s warranty or prescribed under Governmental Requirements or otherwise (the “Warranty Period”). Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with
respect to other obligations which Contractor might have under the Contract Documents or under applicable law, in equity or otherwise, or reduce the period of any other similar warranty or guaranty that may apply at law or otherwise to the Work.
Establishment of the time periods as described in this Article 12 relates only to the specific obligation of Contractor to correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with the Contract Documents
may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to establish Contractor’s liability with respect to Contractor’s obligations other than specifically to correct the Work. 
 
12.3 Compliance With Contract
Documents. Upon receipt of Owner’s written notice (whether during the course of the Work, during the Warranty Period, or during any longer period of time as may be prescribed by Governmental Requirements or otherwise), Contractor shall,
at Contractor’s sole cost and expense and at no cost to Owner, promptly perform all corrective services (including, without limitation, furnishing all labor, materials, equipment and other services at the Property and elsewhere) to Owner’s
satisfaction as may be necessary to remedy any defective workmanship or omissions in the Work, including, without limitation, promptly correcting or replacing any Work rejected by Owner or which is incomplete, defective or fails to conform strictly
to the Contract Documents, whether observed before or after Completion of the Work and whether or not fabricated, installed, or completed. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if within twelve (12) months after Final Payment, or within such
longer period of time as may be applicable, any of the Work is found by Owner not to be in accordance with the Contract Documents or Governmental Requirements or otherwise defective or incomplete, Contractor shall correct and/or replace it promptly
after receipt of a written notice from Owner to do so. Contractor’s compliance with its obligations as stated in this Article 12, and Owner’s acceptance of such corrective services, shall at all times be determined by ascertaining
whether Contractor has achieved strict compliance to Owner’s satisfaction with both the written and inferable requirements contained in the applicable Contract Documents approved by Owner and Governmental Requirements. 
 
12.4 Warranty Costs. All costs
incurred by Contractor in fulfilling Contractor’s remedial warranty obligations as set forth in this Article 12 shall be solely Contractor’s responsibility, including, without limitation, costs for additional testing and inspections
and compensation for the services of other professionals or consultants made necessary thereby. Contractor also shall, as part of Contractor’s warranty and guarantee at Contractor’s own cost and expense, repair or replace any other damaged
components, material, finishes, vehicles and other Work or portions of the Project or other property, 

 

40 

including, without limitation, the Casino Improvements, damaged, affected or otherwise made necessary by or resulting from such defective,
non-conforming or incomplete Work, to return the same to their original condition. 
 
12.5 Timeliness of Corrective Services. To the extent possible, Contractor shall fully perform all warranty
and corrective services to Owner’s satisfaction within five (5) calendar days of the receipt of Owner’s written notice of defective workmanship. If the corrective services require more than five (5) calendar days for completion, Contractor
shall submit, within five (5) calendar days of receipt of Owner’s written notice, a comprehensive written proposal itemizing all corrective actions necessary which Contractor is prepared to and shall immediately undertake and diligently pursue
to enable the Work to achieve strict compliance with the latest Contract Documents, including the latest Plans and Specifications. In performing such corrective Work, Contractor shall perform its Work so as to cause the least inconvenience and
disruption to Owner’s business which may require performance of Work at hours when Owner’s business is least active. Contractor shall not be entitled to the extra costs, if any, incurred in connection with performing corrective Work during
non-business hours. Additionally, the provisions of this Agreement relating to cooperation with Owner, access, avoidance of disruption and related matters as set forth therein also shall apply to the performance of any warranty-related work.

 
12.6 Warranty
Survival. Contractor’s warranty and guarantee obligations set forth in this Article 12 shall apply to Work done by Subcontractors or Vendors, as well as to Work done by employees of Contractor, and such provisions shall survive
acceptance of the Work, any termination of the Contract, and Completion of the Work. Contractor shall be responsible to fully indemnify and hold the Indemnitees harmless from any and all liens, claims, lawsuits, costs and expenses which may arise
out of the failure of the Contractor (or any Subcontractor or Vendor) to fulfill its warranty obligations pursuant to this Contract and/or the Contractor’s failure to enforce the termination by Owner of all or any portion of the Work being
performed by Subcontractors and Vendors of every tier. 
 
12.7 Owner’s Right To Correct. In the event Contractor fails to timely correct incomplete, nonconforming or defective Work following Owner’s written notice described in Section 12.5 above,
Owner shall have the right to correct or arrange for the correction of any defects or omissions in the Work at Contractor’s sole cost and expense and not as part of the Contract Sum. Contractor shall bear all costs incurred by Owner in
correcting such defective Work, including, but not limited to, additional costs for redesigns, replacement contractors, materials, equipment and all services provided by Owner’s personnel. Owner shall be entitled to withhold and offset, subject
to any notice requirements, all costs incurred during any such corrective work against any funds which are otherwise due or which may become payable to the Contractor. If payments due Contractor are not sufficient to cover such amount, Contractor
shall immediately upon demand pay the difference to Owner and such difference shall bear interest per annum at the prime rate (as then published by Bank of America) plus two percent (2%) from the date of demand until paid. 
 
12.8 Owner’s Right to Supplement
Work of Contractor. If the Contractor violates or breaches any of the terms, conditions or covenants of the Contract, 

 

41 

then Owner may, without prejudice to any other remedy it may have, provide such labor and materials as are reasonably necessary to remedy
such deficiency including the right to hire another contractor to supplement the Work of the Contractor and deduct (after giving written notice to Contractor) all costs thereof from any money due or thereafter becoming due to the Contractor by all
such amounts. If payments due Contractor under the Contract Sum are not sufficient to cover such amount, Contractor shall immediately upon demand pay the difference to Owner and such difference shall bear interest per annum at the prime rate (as
then published by Bank of America) plus two percent (2%) from the date of demand until paid. 
 
12.9 Acceptance of Non-Conforming Work. Owner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to accept a
part of the Work which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents. In such case, the Contract Sum shall be reduced as appropriate and equitable. Owner’s acceptance of any non-conforming Work shall not waive or
otherwise affect Owner’s right to demand that Contractor correct any other defects or areas of non-conforming Work. 
 
12.10 Warranty Exclusions. Contractor’s warranty obligations shall not apply to defects caused by
ordinary wear and tear. 
 
12.11 Written Guaranty. All guarantees and warranties specified in the Contract, including Contractor’s general warranty in this Article 12, shall be executed in writing by Contractor and each Subcontractor
and Vendor, as applicable, on their respective letterhead, signed jointly by Contractor and Subcontractor or Vendor, as applicable, and furnished to Owner upon commencement of the respective term of each such guarantee and warranty and as a
condition precedent to Final Payment. Owner shall, in addition to the guarantee and warranty provided for in this Article 12, also have the benefit of, and Contractor shall assign to Owner in form and substance satisfactory to Owner, all
warranties, service life policies, indemnities and guarantees with respect to any and all materials, appliances, mechanical devices, supplies and equipment incorporated into the Work and given by the manufacturer, retailer, or other supplier, which
shall be supplied and assigned to Owner promptly after such is received by or becomes available to Contractor and as a condition precedent to Final Payment. Further, at Owner’s request, Contractor shall assist Owner in enforcing all such
warranties, guarantees, policies and indemnities.

13.7 “Delays in the Work” means delays in the Work which, notwithstanding Contractor’s best and most diligent efforts to re-deploy its forces or that of Subcontractor, or re-schedule or re-sequence the
Work, actually cause Substantial Completion of the Work to occur after the Scheduled Completion Date.

projects of similar scope and complexity, based on Contractor’s representations and other terms contained in Section 5.10 of this Agreement, and based on and taking into account the Technical Studies and Reports, unforeseeable and/or

disputes affecting the general Las Vegas, Nevada area and not limited to the Project (and not a jurisdictional dispute), national or state emergencies, acts of war or government moratorium, or (ii) delays that are the fault solely of Owner, but only

Owner. The Work will not be considered suitable for Substantial Completion review until all Project systems included in the Work are operational as designed and scheduled; all designated or required governmental inspections and certifications have
been made and posted, including, without limitation, the temporary certificate of occupancy and/or its equivalent; the designated instruction of Owner in the operation of all systems has been completed; and all final finishes within the Contract are
in place. In general, the only remaining Work shall be minor in nature, so that Owner could utilize the facility comprising the Project on that date (in the manner described above), and all elements and utilities in and under the Project are fully
functionable and operable as provided in the Contract, and the Completion of the Work by Contractor would not materially interfere with or hamper Owner’s intended use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Project. When Contractor considers that the
Work, or a portion of the Work which Owner agrees in writing to accept separately, is substantially complete, Contractor shall so notify Owner in writing. Upon receipt of Contractor’s notice, Owner will make an inspection to determine whether
the Work or designated portion of the Work is substantially complete in accordance with the Contract Documents. If Owner’s inspection discloses an item which is not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, Contractor
shall, before 

 

47 

issuance of the Certificate of Substantial Completion (as defined below), diligently and expeditiously complete or correct such item upon
notification by Owner. Contractor shall then submit a request for another inspection by Owner to determine Substantial Completion of the Work. When the Work (or designated portion of the Work, if applicable) is substantially complete as determined
by Owner and Owner’s Lenders, Owner will prepare a “Certificate of Substantial Completion” which shall establish the date of Substantial Completion of the Work. 
 
13.11 “Subcontractor” means any person or entity who has a contract
with or is engaged or employed by Contractor, or with any other Subcontractor, or is engaged or employed by Contractor or any other Subcontractor, at any tier to construct or perform a portion of the Work and/or provide construction related services
at the Project, and includes, without limitation, each of their respective employees, agents and representatives and any party any of them may be responsible or liable for at law, in equity or under the Contract Documents. 
 
13.12 “Vendor” means
any person or entity which has a purchase order or other agreement to provide materials, supplies, equipment and/or related services for the Work and/or provide installation services at the Project, through a contract, purchase order or other
arrangement with Contractor or any Subcontractor at any tier, and includes, without limitation, their respective employees, agents, and representatives and any party any of them may be responsible or liable for at law, in equity or under the
Contract Documents. 
 
13.13
“Work” means all skilled, unskilled and professional labor, services, fabrication, materials, supplies, tools, equipment, fixtures, hardware, materials, and other things which are appropriate, desirable or necessary for
Contractor to design, construct and complete the Project and otherwise fulfill its obligations under and in strict compliance with the Contract Documents, including, without limitation, all responsibilities and obligations of Contractor relative to
Punchlist Items.

(“Lender Liens”), notwithstanding that Work may be or is commenced or done on, and materials may be or are furnished to, the Property prior to any Lender Liens being imposed upon or recorded against the Property or any of
Owner’s assets and before expiration of the time fixed under applicable laws for the filing of mechanics and materialmen’s liens. Contractor shall, and Contractor shall cause every Subcontractor and Vendor at every tier, and any other
person performing services or providing materials

and breach of the Contract Documents and failure of a condition precedent to any payment by Owner owed to Contractor under the Contract or otherwise. 
 
15.2 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, including, without limitation, in the Completion of the Work in the manner set forth in the Contract. Whenever action must be taken under this Agreement during a period of time that ends on a Saturday, Sunday or federal or state

Assignment; Successors to be Bound. Contractor shall not assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement or any other Contract Document, unless Owner shall have given Owner’s written consent prior to any such assignment
or delegation. Owner shall have the right to assign Owner’s rights and delegate Owner’s duties under this Agreement without Contractor’s consent upon a sale, transfer or other disposition or hypothecation of the Property, including,
without limitation, to any Owner’s Lenders, and Contractor hereby agrees to execute any necessary consents required to facilitate such assignment. Owner may also, without Contractor’s consent but with notice to Contractor, 

 

50 

change its name from time to time. Owner may designate new representatives from time to time by giving Contractor written notice. All of the
terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and their respective permitted transferees, successors, assigns and legal representatives. 
 
15.6 Intent of Parties.
Contractor and Owner acknowledge that applicable Nevada Revised Statutes in certain circumstances, among others (i) regulate the process by which an owner can withhold payment(s) to a contractor or subcontractor, including the amount(s) that can be
withheld, and (ii) regulate when and how an owner or a contractor can terminate a construction contract and the available remedies upon such termination. It is the express intent of the parties to this Agreement that Contractor completely and
unconditionally waive to the fullest extent allowable each and all of those Nevada Revised Statutes that are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, including those with regard to the matters described in the foregoing clauses (i) and
(ii). Provided, however, Owner and Contractor acknowledge that some applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes cannot be waived. Accordingly, to the extent the foregoing waiver by Contractor is expressly prohibited by
applicable Nevada Revised Statutes as to certain provisions thereof, Contractor’s foregoing waiver shall not be deemed to extend to those non-waivable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes. In such circumstances, if any, where one or more
provisions of this Agreement are in conflict with provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes that cannot be waived, the offending portions of the provision in this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to be consistent with the non-waivable sections
of the Nevada Revised Statutes. To the extent such interpretation renders any portions of this Agreement ineffective, it is the intent of the parties that only such offending portion shall be so deemed, and the remainder of the provisions in this
Agreement shall be of full force and effect. 
 
15.7 Governing Law. This Agreement has been executed in, and shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada. 
 
15.8 Survival. The provisions
of this Agreement, including Contractor’s covenants, representations, guaranties, releases, warranties and indemnities and the benefit thereof, shall survive as valid and enforceable obligations notwithstanding any termination, cancellation or
expiration of the Contract, acceptance of the Work, Completion of the Work or completion of the Project, or any combination of them. 
 
15.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 
15.10 Unenforceability of this Agreement. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement or
any application thereof should be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability shall not impair, diminish, void, invalidate or affect in any way any other terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Agreement or any application thereof, all of which shall continue in full force and effect. 
 

51 

 
15.11 Dispute Resolution. This Agreement and all other Contract Documents shall be governed by the laws of the State of Nevada. Disputes between Owner and Contractor and relating to the Contract and/or the Work shall be
resolved as follows: The parties shall first attempt to resolve disputes through direct negotiations in good faith. If a dispute cannot be settled through direct negotiations, then any party may submit the dispute for non-binding mediation under the
Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association by filing demand for mediation with the other party and with the American Arbitration Association, such mediation to occur in Las Vegas, Nevada or in such other place as
the parties may mutually agree upon. Except for provisional remedies, no party may seek relief through any judicial or non-judicial forum until direct good faith negotiations and mediation in accordance with the Construction Industry Mediation Rules
of the American Arbitration Association currently in effect has been pursued and the mediation was unsuccessful in resolving the dispute. Each party shall pay an equal, pro rata share of the mediation service’s fees and costs and of the
mediator’s fees and costs. The mediation submission may be made concurrently with the filing of a complaint or other appropriate action or proceeding for relief, but, in such event, mediation shall proceed in advance of legal, equitable or
other proceedings (other than those associated with provisional remedies) which shall be stayed pending mediation for a period not exceeding sixty (60) calendar days from the date of filing and service of the complaint or other action for relief,
unless stayed for a longer period by mutual agreement of the parties or by court order. In the event of a dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover the actual attorneys’ fees
reasonably incurred in prosecuting such dispute. In the event a dispute arises between Owner and Contractor, Contractor shall continue to perform in accordance with the Contract, without interruption or delay (subject to Owner’s rights under
the Contract). 
 
15.12

reasonable investigation, and which is not discovered by Owner until after the date which, but for this Section, would be the date of the commencement of the applicable statute of limitations; the applicable statute of limitations instead shall be
deemed to have commenced on the date of such discovery by Owner.

WHEREAS,
Employer is willing to continue to employ Employee, and Employee is willing to continue to be employed by Employer, under the terms and pursuant to the conditions set forth herein; 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing recitals, and in consideration of the mutual
covenants, agreements, understandings, undertakings, representations, warranties and promises hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound thereby, Employer and Employee hereby covenant and agree as follows: 
 
1. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Agreement, the
words and terms hereinafter defined have the respective meanings ascribed to them herein, unless a different meaning clearly appears from the context: 
 
(a) “Affiliate”—means with respect to a specified Person (as defined in Subparagraph 1(d)
below), any other Person who or which is (i) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the specified Person, or (ii) any member, director, officer or manager of the specified Person. For purposes of this
definition only, “control”, “controlling” and “controlled” mean the right to exercise, directly or indirectly, more than fifty (50%) percent of the voting power of the

directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the controlled entity. 
 
(b) “Anniversary”—means each anniversary date of the Effective Date during the Term of this
Agreement (as defined in Paragraph 6 hereof). 
 
(c) “Cause”—means 
 
(i) the willful destruction by Employee of the property of Employer or an Affiliate having a material value to Employer or such Affiliate; 
 
(ii) fraud, embezzlement, theft or comparable dishonest activity committed by Employee
involving Employer or an Affiliate (excluding acts involving a de minimis dollar value and not related to Employer or an Affiliate); 
 
(iii) Employee’s conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction of or entering a plea of guilty or nolo
contendere to any crime constituting a felony or any misdemeanor involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude involving Employer or an Affiliate (excluding acts involving a de minimis dollar value and not related to Employer or an
Affiliate); 
 
(iv)
Employee’s breach, neglect, refusal, or failure to materially discharge his duties (other than due to physical or mental illness) commensurate with his title, function and this Agreement, or Employee’s failure to comply with the lawful
directions of Employer’s Board of Directors consistent with the terms of this Agreement; 
 
(v) a willful and knowing material misrepresentation to Employer’s Board of Directors; 
 
(vi) a willful violation of a material policy
of Employer, which does or could result in material harm to Employer or to Employer’s reputation; or 
 
(vii) Employee’s material violation of a statutory or common law duty of loyalty or fiduciary duty to Employer,

 
provided, however, that
Employee’s disability due to illness or accident or any other mental or physical incapacity shall not constitute “Cause” as defined herein and provided further, however, that for purposes of this
Subparagraph 1(c), no act, or failure to act, by Employee shall be considered “willful” unless committed in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interests of Employer or any Affiliate. Employee
shall have ten (10) days after receipt of a Notice of Termination to remedy the facts and circumstances claimed to provide the basis for termination for cause. 
 
(d) “Change of Control”—means the occurrence, after the
Effective Date, of any of the following events: 
 

2 

 
(i) any “Person” or “Group” (as such terms are defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), excluding any
Excluded Shareholder, is or becomes the “Beneficial Owner” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly, of securities of Employer, or of any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation
involving Employer, representing more than fifty (50%) percent of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of Employer or such entity; 
 
(ii) the individuals who, as of the time immediately following the closing of Employer’s initial public offering, are
members of Employer’s Board of Directors (the “Existing Directors”) cease, for any reason, to constitute more than fifty (50%) percent of the number of authorized directors of Employer as determined in the manner prescribed in
Employer’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws; provided, however, that if the election, or nomination for election, by Employer’s stockholders of any new director was approved by a vote of at least fifty (50%)
percent of the Existing Directors, such new director shall be considered an Existing Director; provided further, however, that no individual shall be considered an Existing Director if such individual initially assumed
office as a result of either an actual or threatened “Election Contest” (as described in Rule14a-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or by or on behalf of anyone other than the Board
(a “Proxy Contest”), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; or 
 
(iii) the consummation of (x) a merger, consolidation or reorganization to which Employer is a party, whether or not
Employer is the Person surviving or resulting therefrom, or (y) a sale, assignment, lease conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Employer, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to any Person
other than Employer, where any such transaction or series of related transactions as is referred to in clause (x) or clause (y) above in this subparagraph (iii) (singly or collectively, a “Transaction”) does not otherwise result in a
“Change in Control” pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this definition of “Change in Control”; provided, however, that no such Transaction shall constitute a “Change in Control” under this subparagraph
(iii) if the Persons who were the stockholders of Employer immediately before consummation of such Transaction are the Beneficial Owners, immediately following the consummation of such Transaction, of fifty (50%) percent or more of the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Person surviving or resulting from any merger, consolidation or reorganization referred to in clause (x) above in this subparagraph (iii) or the Person to whom the assets of Employer are
sold, assigned, leased, conveyed or disposed of in any transaction or series of related transactions referred to in clause (y) above in this subparagraph (iii), in substantially the same proportions in which such Beneficial Owners held voting stock
in Employer immediately before such Transaction 
 

3

of the foregoing definition of “Change in Control,” the term “Excluded Stockholder” means Wynn (as defined in Subparagraph 1(j) below), the spouse, siblings, children, grandchildren or great grandchildren of Wynn, any trust
primarily for the benefit of the foregoing persons, or any Affiliate of an of the foregoing persons. 
 
(e) “Complete Disability”—means the inability of Employee, due to illness or accident or
other mental or physical incapacity, to perform his obligations under this Agreement for a period as defined by Employer’s disability plan or plans. 
 
(f) “Effective Date”—means April 1, 2003. 
 
(g) “Good
Reason”—means the occurrence of any of the following (except with Employee’s written consent or resulting from an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by Employer or its
Affiliate promptly after receipt of notice thereof from Employee):

(ii) Employer discontinues its bonus plan in which Employee participates without immediately replacing such bonus plan
with a plan that is the substantial economic equivalent or such bonus plan, or amends such bonus plan so as to materially reduce Employee’s potential bonus at any given level of economic performance of Employer or its successor entity;

Affiliate (as defined hereinafter) respecting acquisitions, mergers, strategic planning, financial strategies and the placement of debt and/or equity, and such other powers and duties as may be agreed to between Wynn and Employee, or as may be

Exhibit 2 to this Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of Employee’s duties and obligations to Employer under this Agreement. It is expressly
understood and agreed that, to the extent any such activities have been conducted by 

 

5 

Employee prior to the Effective Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or activities similar in nature and scope thereto) after the
Effective Date shall be deemed not to interfere with Employee’s duties and obligations to Employer under this Agreement. 
 
6. TERM. Unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement, the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall
consist of five (5) years commencing as of the Effective Date of this Agreement and terminating on the fifth Anniversary Date of the Effective Date. 
 
7. SPECIAL TERMINATION PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 6 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall
terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 
 
(a) the death of Employee; 
 
(b) the giving of written notice from Employer to Employee of the termination of this Agreement upon the Complete Disability of Employee; 
 
(c) the giving of written notice by Employer to Employee of the termination of this Agreement
upon the discharge of Employee for Cause;

to Employee of the termination of this Agreement without Cause, provided, however, that, within ten (10) calendar days after such notice, Employer must tender the Separation Payment, together with any accrued but unpaid vacation
pay and any Gross-Up Payment, to Employee; 
 
(f) the giving of written notice by Employee to Employer upon a material breach of this Agreement by Employer, which material breach remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice,
provided, however, that, within ten (10) calendar days after the expiration of such cure period without the cure having been effected, Employer must tender the Separation Payment, together with any accrued but unpaid vacation
pay and any Gross-Up Payment, to Employee; 
 
(g) at Employee’s sole election in writing as provided in Paragraph 19 of this Agreement, as a result of both a Change of Control and Good Reason, provided, however, that, within ten (10) calendar days after
Employer’s receipt of Employee’s written election, Employer must tender the Separation Payment, together with any accrued but unpaid vacation pay and any Gross-Up Payment, to Employee; or 
 
(h) the giving of written notice by Employee
to Employer of the termination of this Agreement without Cause on or after April 1, 2005. 
 
In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Subparagraph 7(a), 7(b), 7(c), 7(d) or 7(h), Employer shall not be required to make any payments to Employee other than
payment of Base Salary and vacation pay accrued but 

 

6 

unpaid through the termination date, reimbursement for expenses incurred but not paid prior to such termination, and payment of Bonus
Compensation pursuant to Subparagraph 8(b)(i) earned but not paid prior to such termination. In the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Subparagraph 7(e), 7(f) or 7(g), Employee will also be entitled to receive
health benefits coverage for Employee and Employee’s dependents under the same plan(s) or arrangement(s) under which Employee was covered immediately before Employee’s termination, or plan(s) established or arrangement(s) provided by
Employer or any of its Affiliates thereafter. Such health benefits coverage shall be paid for by Employer to the same extent as if Employee were still employed by Employer, and Employee will be required to make such payments as Employee would be
required to make if Employee were still employed by Employer. The health benefits provided under this Paragraph 7 shall continue until the earlier of (x) the expiration of the period covered by the Separation Payment, and (y) the date Employee
becomes covered under any other group health plan not maintained by Employer or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that if such other group health plan excludes any pre-existing condition that Employee or Employee’s
dependants may have when coverage under such group health plan would otherwise begin, coverage under this Paragraph 7 shall continue (but not beyond the period described in clause (x) of this sentence) with respect to such pre-existing condition
until such exclusion under such other group health plan lapses or expires. In the event Employee is required to make an election under Sections 601 through 607 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (commonly known as
COBRA) to qualify for the health benefits described in this Paragraph 7, the obligations of Employer and its Affiliates under this Paragraph 7 shall be conditioned upon Employee’s timely making such an election. In the event of a termination of
this Agreement pursuant to any of the provisions of this Paragraph 7, Employee shall not be entitled to any benefits pursuant to any severance plan in effect by Employer or any of Employer’s Affiliates. 
 
Employee shall not be required to mitigate amounts payable
under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, and there shall be no offset against amounts due Employee under this Agreement on account of subsequent employment or earnings. 
 
8. COMPENSATION TO EMPLOYEE. For and in complete
consideration of Employee’s full and faithful performance of Employee’s duties under this Agreement, Employer hereby covenants and agrees to pay to Employee, and Employee hereby covenants and agrees to accept from Employer, the following
items of compensation: 
 
(a)
BASE SALARY. Employer hereby covenants and agrees to pay to Employee, and Employee hereby covenants and agrees to accept from Employer, a base salary at the rate of (i) One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000.00) per annum

in addition to any other benefits which Employer may make available to Employee, including, but not limited to, those benefits 

 

7 

described in Subparagraphs 8(b) through (g) of this Agreement. Employee’s benefits, taken as a whole, shall be no less favorable than
any other executive employed by Employer or any of its Affiliates other than Wynn. Employee’s Base Salary shall be subject to merit review by Employer’s Board of Director periodically and may be increased, but not decreased, as a result of
any such review. 
 
(b) BONUS
COMPENSATION. 
 
(i) In
addition to the Base Salary, Employee shall be paid a bonus of not less than fifty (50%) percent of his Base Salary for the first year of the Term earned upon the completion of third-party financing for the Macau project, provided such financing is
committed on or before March 31, 2004, and payable from the first of such financing proceeds whenever received; and 
 
(ii) In addition to the Base Salary and any bonus pursuant to Subparagraph 8(b)(i), Employee also will be eligible to
receive a bonus at such times and in such amounts as Employer’s Board of Directors, in its sole and exclusive discretion, may determine, until such time as the Board may adopt a performance-based bonus plan, and thereafter in accordance with
such plan. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the Board’s discretion to adopt, amend or terminate any performance-based bonus plan at any time prior to a Change of Control. 
 
(c) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. Employer hereby covenants and agrees that it shall
include Employee, if otherwise eligible, in any profit sharing plan, executive stock option plan, pension plan, retirement plan, disability or life insurance plan, medical and/or hospitalization plan, and/or any and all other benefit plans which may
be placed in effect by Employer or any of its Affiliates for the benefit of Employer’s executives during the Term. Unless prohibited by law or the terms of the applicable plan, Employee’s eligibility for medical and/or hospitalization
benefits shall commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit (i) Employer’s ability to exercise the discretion provided to it under any such benefit plan, or (ii) Employer’s or its Affiliates’
discretion to adopt, amend or terminate any benefit plan, at any time prior to a Change of Control. 
 
(d) EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT. During the Term and provided the same are authorized by Employer, Employer shall

from time to time, including first class airfare for all air travel, including flying from Employee’s residence in New York to and from Las Vegas. Such reimbursable expenses shall include, but are not limited to, (i) reasonable entertainment
and promotional expenses, (ii) gift and travel expenses, (iii) dues and expenses of membership in clubs, professional societies and fraternal organizations, and (iv) the like. Prior to reimbursement, Employee shall provide Employer with sufficient
detailed invoices of such expenses as may be required by Employer’s expense reimbursement policy.

maintenance for such vehicle. 
 
(f) CORPORATE AIRCRAFT. Employee shall have the right to the personal use of Employer’s aircraft by Employee and his family, subject to Employee having entered into a separate time-sharing agreement with Employer
or its Affiliate for such personal use. 
 
(g) VACATIONS AND HOLIDAYS. Commencing as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to (i) annual paid vacation leave in accordance with Employer’s standard policy, but in no event less
than four (4) weeks each year of the Term, to be taken at such times as selected by Employee and approved by Employer, and (ii) paid holidays (or, at Employer’s option, an equivalent number of paid days off) in accordance with Employer’s
standard policy. 
 
(h)
WITHHOLDINGS. All compensation to Employee identified in this Paragraph 8 shall be subject to applicable withholdings for federal, state or local income or other taxes, Social Security Tax, Medicare Tax, State Unemployment Insurance,
State Disability Insurance, voluntary charitable contributions, and the like. 
 
9. LICENSING REQUIREMENTS. 
 
(a) Employer and Employee hereby covenant and agree that this Agreement may be subject to the approval of one or more
gaming regulatory authorities (the “Gaming Authorities”) pursuant to the provisions of the applicable gaming regulatory statutes and the regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Gaming Laws”). Employer and Employee hereby
covenant and agree to use their best efforts, at Employer’s sole cost and expense, to obtain any and all approvals required by the Gaming Laws. In the event that (i) an approval of this Agreement by the Gaming Authorities is required for
Employee to carry out his duties and responsibilities set forth in Paragraph 4 of this Agreement, (ii) Employer and Employee have used their best efforts to obtain such approval, and (iii) this Agreement is not so approved by the Gaming Authorities,
then this Agreement shall immediately terminate. 
 
(b) Employer and Employee hereby covenant and agree that, in order for Employee to discharge the duties required under this Agreement, Employee may be required to apply for or hold a license, registration, permit or other
approval as issued by the Gaming Authorities pursuant to the terms of the applicable Gaming Laws and as otherwise required by this Agreement (the “License”). In the event Employee fails to apply for and secure, or the Gaming Authorities
refuse to issue or renew, or revoke or suspend any required License, then Employee, at Employer’s sole cost and expense, shall promptly defend such action and shall take such reasonable steps as may be required to either remove the objections,
secure the Gaming Authorities’ approval, or reinstate the License, respectively. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the source of the objections or the Gaming Authorities’ refusal to renew the License or their imposition of disciplinary

 

9 

action against Employee is any of the events described in Subparagraph 1(c) of this Agreement, then Employer’s obligations under this
Paragraph 9 shall not be operative and Employee shall promptly reimburse Employer upon demand for any expenses incurred by Employer pursuant to this Paragraph 9. 
 
(c) Employer and Employee hereby covenant and agree that the provisions of this Paragraph 9
shall apply in the event Employee’s duties require that Employee also be licensed by such relevant governmental agencies other than the Gaming Authorities. 
 
10. RESTRICTED STOCK GRANT; STOCK OPTIONS. 
 
(a) On the Effective Date, the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of Employer (the “Committee”) shall cause Employer to grant Employee an award of 189,723 shares of restricted common stock of Employer (“Restricted Stock”) under and pursuant to Employer’s
2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”). In addition to the terms of the Stock Plan (as it may be amended from time to time), any restrictions on the stock awarded will lapse with respect to one hundred (100%) percent of the shares of
the Restricted Stock and such shares will become nonforfeitable on the earlier to occur of (i) May 31, 2005, provided Employee is still employed by Employer on that date, or (ii) the date Employee’s employment is terminated by reason of his
death or Complete Disability, by Employer for any reason other than Cause, or by Employee under Subparagraph 7(f) or 7(g). 
 
(b) On the Effective Date, the Committee shall cause Employer to grant Employee an option to acquire two hundred thousand
(200,000) shares of Employer’s common stock (each, an “Option” and collectively the “Options”). All Options shall be granted subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) except as provided below, the Options shall be
granted under and subject to the Stock Plan; (ii) the exercise price per share of each Option shall be equal to the last reported sale price of Employer’s common stock on the Nasdaq National Market (or such other principal trading market for
Employer’s common stock) at the close of the trading day immediately preceding the date as of which the grant is made; (iii) the Options shall be vested and exercisable as to twenty five (25%) percent on each of the second, third, fourth and
fifth anniversaries of the date of grant; provided, that, Employee is employed as of the relevant vesting date; provided, further, that, if Employee’s employment is terminated by reason of his death, Complete Disability, by Employer for any
reason other than Cause or by Employee under Subparagraph 7(f) or 7(g), the Options shall automatically become immediately vested and exercisable in full and remain exercisable for five (5) years following such termination of employment, but in no
event beyond the ten (10) year term of each Option; (iv) each Option shall be exercisable for the ten (10) year period following the date of grant; and (v) each Option shall be evidenced by, and subject to, a stock option agreement whose terms and
conditions are consistent with the terms hereof. 
 
11. CONFIDENTIALITY. Employee hereby warrants, covenants and agrees that, (x) except as may be required or appropriate in connection with his carrying out his duties under this Agreement, (y) without the prior express
written approval of Employer or (z) unless required by law or court order and for the Term, Employee shall hold in the strictest confidence, and shall 

 

10 

not disclose to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, any and all of Employer’s confidential data, including, but not limited
to, (a) information, drawing, sketches, plans or other documents concerning Employer’s business or development plans, customers or suppliers or those of Employer’s Affiliates, (b) Employer’s or its Affiliates’ development,
design, construction or sales and marketing methods or techniques, or (c) Employer’s trade secrets and other “know-how” or information not of a public nature, regardless of how such information came to the custody of Employee. For
purposes of this Agreement, such confidential information shall include, but not be limited to, information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process, that (i) derives independent economic value,
present or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the
circumstances to maintain its secrecy. The warranty, covenant and agreement set forth in this Paragraph 11 shall not expire, shall survive this Agreement and shall be binding on Employee without regard to the passage of time or other events.

 
12. RESTRICTIVE COVENANT/NO
SOLICITATION. 
 
(a)
Employee hereby covenants and agrees that, (i) during the Term or for such period as Employee receives cash compensation under this Agreement, whichever period is shorter, or (ii) in the event of a termination pursuant to Subparagraph 7(h), for one
year after the date of such termination, Employee shall not directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, consultant, partner, member or manager of a limited liability company, shareholder of a closely held corporation,
shareholder in excess of two percent (2%) of a publicly traded corporation, corporate officer or director, or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or otherwise participate in any manner or fashion in any gaming business that is
in competition in any manner whatsoever with the principal business activity of Employer or Employer’s Affiliates, in or about any market in which Employer or Employer’s Affiliates have or have publicly announced a plan for gaming
operations. Employee hereby further covenants and agrees that the restrictive covenant contained in this Paragraph 12 is reasonable as to duration, terms and geographical area and that the same protects the legitimate interests of Employer, imposes
no undue hardship on Employee, and is not injurious to the public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Subsection 12(a) shall not apply in the event of a termination under Subparagraph 7(f) or 7(g). 
 
(b) Employee hereby further covenants and
agrees that, for the applicable period described in Subparagraph 12(a), Employee shall not directly or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit for employment any management level employee of Employer or Employer’s Affiliates with or on behalf

plan for gaming operations.

EXHIBIT 1 
 
Indemnification and Gross-Up for Excise Taxes 
 
(a) Employer shall indemnify and hold Employee
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs) which Employee may incur as a result of the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any similar provision of state or local income tax law (the “Excise Tax”), to the end that Employee shall be placed in the same tax position with respect to the Severance Payment under
Employee’s Employment Agreement and all other payments from Employer to Employee in the nature of compensation as Employee would have been in if the Excise Tax had never been enacted. In furtherance of such indemnification, Employer shall pay
to Employee a payment (the “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that, after payment by Employee of all taxes, including income taxes and the Excise Tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment and any interest or penalties (other than interest and
penalties imposed by reason of Employee’s failure to file timely tax returns or to pay taxes shown due on such returns and any tax liability, including interest and penalties, unrelated to the Excise Tax or the Gross-Up Amount), Employee shall
be placed in the same tax position with respect to the Severance Payment under this Plan and all other payments from Employer to Employee in the nature of compensation as Employee would have been in if the Excise Tax had never been enacted. When
Employer pays Employee’s Severance Payment, it shall also pay to Employee a Gross-Up Payment for the Severance Payment and any other payments in the nature of compensation that Employer determines are “excess parachute payments” under
Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code (“Excess Parachute Payments”). If, through a determination of the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority (a “Taxing Authority”), or a judgment of any court, Employee becomes
liable for an amount of Excise Tax not covered by the Gross-Up Payment payable pursuant to the preceding sentence, Employer shall pay Employee an additional Gross-Up Payment to make Employee whole for such additional Excise Tax; provided, however,
that, pursuant to Subparagraph (c) below, Employer shall have the right to require Employee to protest, contest, or appeal any such determination or judgment. For purposes of this Exhibit 1, any amount that Employer is required to withhold under
Sections 3402 or 4999 of the Code or under any other provision of law shall be deemed to have been paid to Employee. 
 
(b) Upon payment to Employee of a Gross-Up Payment, Employer shall provide Employee with a written statement showing
Employer’s computation of such Gross-Up Payment and the Excess Parachute Payments and Excise Tax to which it relates, and setting forth Employer’s determination of the amount of gross income Employee is required to recognize as a result of
such payments and Employee’s liability for Excise Tax. Employee shall cause his federal, state, and local income tax returns for the period in which Employee receives such Gross-Up Payment to be prepared and filed in accordance with such
statement, and, upon such filing, Employee shall certify in writing to Employer that such returns have been prepared and filed. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Exhibit 1, Employer shall not be obligated to indemnify Employee from and against
any tax liability, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any liability for the Excise Tax or attorney’s fees or costs) to the extent such tax 

liability, cost or expense is attributable to your failure to comply with the provisions of this Exhibit 1. 
 
(c) If any controversy arises between
Employee and a Taxing Authority with respect to the treatment on any return of the Gross-Up Amount, or of any payment Employee receives from Employer as an Excess Parachute Payment, or with respect to any return which a Taxing Authority asserts
should show an Excess Parachute Payment, including, without limitation, any audit, protest to an appeals authority of a Taxing Authority or litigation (“Controversy”), Employer shall have the right to participate with Employee in the
handling of such Controversy Employer shall have the right, solely with respect to a Controversy, to direct Employee to protest or contest any proposed adjustment or deficiency, initiate an appeals procedure within any Taxing Authority, commence any
judicial proceeding, make any settlement agreement, or file a claim for refund of tax, and Employee shall not take any of such steps without the prior written approval of Employer, which Employer shall not unreasonably withhold. If Employer so
elects, Employee shall be represented in any Controversy by attorneys, accountants, and other advisors selected by Employer, and Employer shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of such attorneys, accountants, or advisors, and any tax liability
Employee may incur as a result of such payment. Employee shall promptly notify Employer of any communication with a Taxing Authority, and Employee shall promptly furnish to Employer copies of any written correspondence, notices, or documents
received from a Taxing Authority relating to a Controversy. Employee shall cooperate fully with Employer in the handling of any Controversy by furnishing Employer an information or documentation relating to or bearing upon the Controversy;
provided, however, that Employee shall not be obligated to furnish to Employer copies of any portion of his or her tax returns which do not bear upon, and are not affected by, the Controversy. 
 
(d) Employee shall pay over to Employer, with
ten (10) days after receipt thereof, any refund Employee receives from any Taxing Authority of all or any portion of the Gross-Up or Excise Tax, together with any interest Employee receives from such Taxing Authority on such refund. For purposes of
this Exhibit 1, a reduction in Employee’s tax liability attributable to the previous payment of the Gross-Up Amount or the Excise Tax shall be deemed to be a refund. If Employee would have received a refund of all or any portion of the Gross-Up
Payment or the Excise Tax, except that a Taxing Authority offset the amount of such refund against other tax liabilities, interest, or penalties, Employee shall pay the amount of such offset over to Employer, together with the amount of interest
Employee would have received from the Taxing Authority if such offset had been an actual refund, within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from the Taxing Authority of such offset.
