As
described in Item 6, Mr. Wynn, Ms. Wynn and Aruze USA have entered
into an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement in connection with Ms. Wynns

(a)-(c) On the date hereof, the
Reporting Persons have the shared power to vote or to direct the vote and to
dispose or to direct the disposition of 24,549,222 shares of Common Stock of
the Issuer owned by Aruze USA. Such 24,549,222 shares include 18,972,299
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer which were acquired by Aruze USA from
the Issuer as a result of the contribution of its membership interest in
Valvino Lamore, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (Valvino), to the
Issuer on September 24, 2002. In
the contribution, approximately 189.7 shares of Issuer Common Stock were

interest contributed. Aruze USA
acquired an additional 5,576,923 shares of Common Stock from the Issuer on October 30,
2002 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for $13.00 per share, which was the
price offered to the public in the Issuers initial public offering.
As a result of entering into the Amended
and Restated Stockholders Agreement with Mr. Wynn and Ms. Wynn (see
Item 6), Aruze USA possesses shared power to vote or direct the vote of, and
thus may be deemed to beneficially own, an additional 22,153,417 shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer of which 11,076,708 shares of Common Stock are
held by Mr. Wynn and 11,076,709 shares of Common Stock are held by Ms. Wynn.
Mr. Wynn is a United States citizen
with his business address at 3131 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas,

Stock, or 9.0% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

Nevada 89109. To the knowledge of the
Reporting Persons, Ms. Wynn directly owns 11,076,709 shares of Common
Stock, or 9.0% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.
As described in Item 6, the Amended and
Restated Stockholders Agreement amended the voting agreement provision to
provide that each of Mr. Wynn, Ms. Wynn and Aruze USA agree to vote
all shares of the Issuer held by them and subject to the terms of the Amended
and Restated Stockholders Agreement in a manner so as to elect to the
Issuers Board of Directors each of the nominees contained on each and every
slate of directors endorsed by Mr. Wynn, which slate shall include,
subject to certain conditions, Ms. Wynn and, so long as such slate
results in a majority of directors at all times being candidates endorsed by Mr. Wynn,
nominees approved by Aruze USA.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement and as
described in Item 6 below, $10 million of the EW Shares are released from
certain covenants and provisions set forth in the Amended and Restated
Stockholders Agreement on January 6, 2010 and on each of the following
nine anniversaries thereof. Aruze USA,

and Ms. Wynn are a group under Rule 13d-5 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, because of the voting arrangement with
respect to the election of directors under the Amended and Restated
Stockholders Agreement. Other than the
Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement described in Item 6, the
Reporting Persons, Mr. Wynn and Ms. Wynn do not have any other
arrangement or understanding with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting
or disposition of equity securities of the Issuer.
The aggregate percentage of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer which the Reporting Persons may be
deemed to beneficially own, including the shares of Common Stock which the
Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own as a result of the
Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, is 37.9%. Excluding the additional shares of Common
Stock that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own as a
result of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting
Persons directly own 19.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Issuer. The Reporting Persons
disclaim beneficial ownership of the SAW Shares and the EW Shares.

indicated, all percentages in this Amendment No. 4 assume there to be 123,284,206 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as of January 4,

agree to vote all Shares held by them and subject to the terms of this

endorsed by SAW.
(b) Restrictions on Sale or Transfer. Other than as expressly set forth in Section 11
and the last sentence of this Section 2(b), none of EW, SAW or Aruze (nor

sold two million shares under this waiver.
Accordingly, Aruze shall have the right to sell up to two million Shares
free and clear of the requirements of this Agreement.
(c) Restriction on Proxies and
Non-Interference. From and after the date of this Agreement and
ending as of the Termination Date, the Designated Stockholders shall not, and
shall cause each of their Affiliates who Beneficially Own any of the Designated
Stockholders Shares not to, directly or indirectly without the consent of the other
Designated Stockholder: (A) grant any proxies or powers of
attorney, deposit such Designated Stockholders Shares into a voting trust or
enter into a voting agreement with respect to any of such Designated
Stockholders Shares, (B) enter into any agreement or arrangement
providing for any of the actions described in clause (A) above, or (C) take
any action that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing
or disabling such Designated Stockholder from performing such Designated

3. Representations and Warranties of the
Stockholders. Each Stockholder hereby represents and
warrants and covenants to each other Stockholder as follows:
(a) Ownership. The
Stockholder shall be the record and Beneficial Owner of all of the Shares. The Stockholder shall have the sole power of
disposition, sole power of conversion, sole power to demand appraisal rights
and sole power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in
each case with respect to all of the Shares, with no material limitations,
qualifications or restrictions on such rights, subject to applicable securities
laws and the terms of this Agreement.
(b) No Encumbrances.
All of the Stockholders Shares will be held by such Stockholder, or by
a nominee or custodian for the benefit of such Stockholder, free and clear of
all liens, claims, security interests, proxies, voting trusts or agreements,
understandings or arrangements or any other encumbrances whatsoever, except for
any liens, claims, understandings or arrangements that do not limit or impair
the Stockholders ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(c) Execution, Delivery and Performance by
the Stockholder. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of Aruze, as applicable,
and Aruze has taken all other actions required by law, its Articles of
Incorporation and its Bylaws or other organizational documents, as applicable,
to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the valid and
binding obligations of the Stockholder and is enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except as enforceability may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
6
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditors rights generally.
(d) No Conflicts.
No filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of,
any state or federal public body or authority is necessary for the execution of
this Agreement by the Stockholder and the consummation by the Stockholder of
the transactions contemplated hereby, except where the failure to obtain such
consent, permit, authorization, approval or filing would not interfere with the
Stockholders ability to perform its obligations hereunder, and none of the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder, the consummation
by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by the
Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof shall violate any order, writ,
injunction, decree, judgment, statute, rule or regulation applicable to
the Stockholder or any of its properties or assets, in each such case except to
the extent that any conflict, breach, default or violation would not interfere
with the ability of the Stockholder to perform the obligations hereunder.
(e) Preemptive Rights.
If a Stockholder purchases Shares from Wynn (the Purchasing
Stockholder) in a private placement (the Purchase)
and another Stockholder who is not a Permitted Transferee of the Purchasing
Stockholder is not extended the same offer by Wynn on the same terms and
conditions, the Purchasing Stockholder shall allow such other Stockholder to
purchase the number of Shares in the Purchasing Stockholders allotment of
Shares from Wynn that is necessary to maintain their Shares in the same proportion
to each other as that which existed prior to the Purchase.
4. Transferee Bound by Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Shares may
not be transferred or sold by the Designated Stockholder unless the transferee
(including a Permitted Transferee) both executes and agrees to be bound by both
this Agreement and the Proxy, including, without limitation, in a sale or
transfer made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (Rule 144);
provided, however, that this Section 4 shall not apply to any sale or
transfer and all other sales and transfers made by such Stockholder pursuant to
Rule 144 during the term of this Agreement which do not exceed, in the
aggregate, ten percent of the Shares held by such Stockholder, but the
provisions of Section 2(b) shall continue to apply.
5. Stop Transfer.
From and after the date of this Agreement and ending as of the
Termination Date, each Stockholder acknowledges that SAW may instruct Wynn to
not register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or
uncertificated interest representing any of such Stockholders Shares that are
transferred in violation of this Agreement.
6. Aruze Non-Compete.
Aruze covenants to EW and SAW that until the Non-Compete Termination
Date and so long as Aruze is a stockholder of Wynn (or of a successor entity to
Wynn), Aruze, Aruze Parent, and Kazuo Okada agree that (other than through
Wynn) Aruze, Aruze Parent, and Kazuo Okada shall not without SAWs
7
consent, directly or indirectly, engage in the
development of or own, operate, lease, manage, control or invest in, act as
consultant or advisor to or otherwise assist any Person that engages in (a) casino
operations in Clark County, Nevada, or Macau or (b) Internet gaming
anywhere in the world; provided, however, that either Aruze Parent or Kazuo
Okada may operate a business offering Internet gaming if the forms of gaming
offered by such business are restricted to games derived from pachinko or pachi-slot
machines or other games not authorized for manufacture or distribution in the
State of Nevada or Macau and any of Aruze, Aruze Parent, Kazuo Okada or an entity which is at
least 80% owned by Kazuo Okada or Aruze Parent (Okada Entity) may license content from
any gaming device manufactured by Aruze, Aruze Parent or Okada Entity to a
business offering Internet gaming.
Nothing herein shall preclude Aruze, Aruze Parent, an Okada Entity
and/or Kazuo Okada from engaging in the sale of gaming devices in the
aforementioned jurisdictions.
7. Stockholders Option to Purchase Bankrupt
Stockholders Shares.
(a) Upon the institution of a Bankruptcy by
or against a Stockholder (a Bankrupt Stockholder),
the Stockholders, not including the Bankrupt Stockholder, shall have the option
(the Purchase Option) to purchase the
Bankrupt Stockholders Shares in Wynn for a price agreed upon by the
Stockholders, not including the Bankrupt Stockholder, on the one hand, and the
Bankrupt Stockholder, on the other hand, or if no price can be agreed upon, the
Fair Market Value of such Shares at the time of such Bankruptcy. If information is not available to determine
the Fair Market Value of such Shares at the time of such Bankruptcy, the price
shall be the fair market value as determined by an Independent Qualified
Appraiser. The Stockholders wishing to
purchase all or a part of the Shares of the Bankrupt Stockholder (the Purchasing Stockholders) shall pay the agreed price, the
Fair Market Value or the fair market value as determined by an Independent
Qualified Appraiser, as applicable, of such Shares to the Bankrupt Stockholder,
in cash or its equivalent, by one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date
the Bankruptcy petition is filed by or against the Bankrupt Stockholder. Each Purchasing Stockholder must notify the
other Stockholders of such Purchasing Stockholders desire to purchase all or a
portion of the Bankrupt Stockholders Shares in writing by twenty (20) days
after the date the Bankruptcy petition is filed by or against the Bankrupt
Stockholder. Unless they agree
otherwise, if there is more than one Purchasing Stockholder, each Purchasing
Stockholder may purchase the proportion of the Bankrupt Stockholders Shares
that such Purchasing Stockholders Percentage Interest bears to the aggregate
Percentage Interests of all Purchasing Stockholders. If neither any remaining Stockholder wishes
to purchase the Bankrupt Stockholders Shares, or the Purchasing Stockholders
do not purchase the Bankrupt Stockholders Shares within the earlier of the
time periods set forth above, then all rights to purchase the Bankrupt
Stockholders Shares pursuant to this Section shall terminate.
8
(b) Any Stockholder that exercises its right
under this Section 7 to purchase the Bankrupt Stockholders Shares may, in
its sole and absolute discretion, assign such rights to Wynn.
8. Restrictions on Transfer of Ownership
Interests in Stockholders.
(a) Except for a Transfer to a Permitted
Transferee, any Transfer or issuance of an ownership interest in Aruze or in
any entity that directly or indirectly owns a majority ownership interest in a
Stockholder an Upstream Ownership Interest)
shall be prohibited unless in compliance with the procedures and requirements
set forth in this Section 8.
(b) The Shares that would be indirectly
transferred by the transfer of the Upstream Ownership Interest shall be
referred to as the Indirect Transfer Shares. If any holder of an Upstream Ownership
Interest (an Upstream Transferor) intends to
Transfer all or any part of its Upstream Ownership Interest pursuant to a bona
fide offer received from any Person (the Upstream Offeror),
prior to accepting such offer the Upstream Transferor shall provide written
notice to each Stockholder, other than the Stockholder holding the Indirect
Transfer Shares, which notice shall set forth the terms and conditions of the
offer so received, including the purchase price and the identity of the
Upstream Offeror. If the Upstream
Transferor does not provide such notice, the Stockholder holding the Indirect
Transfer Shares shall provide such notice to each other Stockholder promptly
upon learning that such transaction will occur or has occurred. Within 15 days following receipt of such
notice by the Stockholders other than the Stockholder holding the Indirect
Transfer Shares, or if later, within 30 days of such other Stockholders
learning that the Transfer of the Upstream Ownership Interest has occurred,
such other Stockholders (i) if information is available to determine the
Fair Market Value of such Indirect Transfer Shares, may elect to purchase the
percentage of the Indirect Transfer Shares available for purchase equal to such
holders Percentage Interest (determined for this purpose by excluding the
Indirect Transfer Shares) at the Fair Market Value of such Shares, or (ii) if
information is not available to determine the Fair Market Value of such
Indirect Transfer Shares, may, by notice to the Stockholder holding the
Indirect Transfer Shares, elect to obtain an appraisal by an Independent
Qualified Appraiser of the fair market value of the Indirect Transfer
Shares. Within 15 days following receipt
by the Stockholders other than the Stockholder holding the Indirect Transfer
Shares of the results of the appraisal, each such other Stockholder may elect
to purchase the percentage of the Indirect Transfer Shares available for
purchase equal to such holders Percentage Interest (determined for this
purpose by excluding the Indirect Transfer Shares) at the appraisal price of
such Shares. To the extent a Stockholder
shall determine not to purchase all the Indirect Transfer Shares available to
that Stockholder, the other Stockholders exercising the right to purchase the
Indirect Transfer Shares may purchase additional Indirect Transfer Shares on a
pro rata basis in proportion to their Percentage Interests (and the foregoing
procedure shall be repeated in respect of any Indirect
9
Transfer Shares not purchased until such other
Stockholders have had an opportunity to purchase any remaining Indirect
Transfer Shares).
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 8, any Transfer or issuance of shares in
Aruze Parent shall not constitute an Upstream Transfer if immediately following
such Transfer or issuance Kazuo Okada has the right to directly or indirectly exercise more than fifty percent of the
voting power of the shareholders of Aruze Parent.
(c) The closing of a purchase of Indirect
Transfer Shares by a Stockholder under this Section 8 shall occur within
10 days following the expiration of the last period during which a Stockholder
might elect to purchase any of the Indirect Transfer Shares, or at such later
date when all approvals required by the Gaming Laws are obtained (such
approvals to be obtained as soon as is reasonably practicable).
(d) Any Stockholder that exercises its right
under this Section 8 to purchase the Indirect Transfer Shares may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, assign such rights to Wynn.
9. Right of First Refusal.
(a) Any Stockholder (a Transferor)
who wishes to Transfer any or all of its Shares (the Offered
Shares) to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee and who
receives a bona fide offer from any Person (the Offeror)
who is not a Prohibited Transferee for the purchase of all or any portion of
such Stockholders Shares shall, prior to accepting such offer, provide written
notice (the Notice of Offer) thereof to each
other Stockholder holding Shares, which notice shall set forth the terms and
conditions of the offer so received, including the purchase price and the
identity of the Offeror. Following the
delivery to the other Stockholders of the Notice of Offer, each other
Stockholder may elect to purchase that percentage of the Offered Shares which
is equal to the Total Shares (excluding the Offered Shares) owned by each such
Stockholder divided by the Total Shares (excluding the Offered Shares) owned by
all such Stockholders (Applicable Percentage)
during a fifteen-day refusal period (the Refusal Period)
on the terms set forth in the Notice of Offer.
To the extent any Stockholder shall determine not to purchase its
Applicable Percentage prior to the expiration of the Refusal Period, the
accepting Stockholders (the Accepting Purchasers)
may purchase such Shares on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of
Shares owned by each of them (and the foregoing procedure shall be repeated in
respect of any Shares not purchased until all Accepting Purchasers have had an
opportunity to purchase any remaining Shares).
(b) Subject to the requirements of Section 4, including but not limited to the
requirement that a transferee execute this Agreement and a Proxy, if all or any
of the Offered Shares shall remain unsold after completion of the
10
procedures set forth in Section 9(a), the Transferor may sell such
remaining Offered Shares to the Offeror within six months of the completion of
such procedures on terms no more favorable than those set forth in the Notice
of Offer; provided that the Offeror is not a Prohibited Transferee. To the extent any of the Offered Shares are
not sold in accordance with the foregoing, the Stockholders shall continue to
have a right of first refusal under this Section 9 with respect to any
Transfers to any Person which are subsequently proposed by such Transferor.
(c) The closing of a purchase by a
Stockholder under this Section 9 shall occur within ten days after the end
of the Refusal Period or at such later date when all approvals required by the
Gaming Laws are obtained (such approvals to be obtained as soon as is
reasonably practicable). At such closing
the Transferor and the relevant Accepting Purchaser (and any or all other
Stockholders as may be required) shall execute an assignment and assumption
agreement and any other instruments and documents as may be reasonably required
by such Stockholder to effectuate the transfer of such Shares free and clear of
any liens, claims or encumbrances, other than as specifically permitted
hereunder. Any Transfer to any Person
that does not comply with the provisions of this Section 9, other than a
Transfer expressly provided for in the other provisions of this Agreement,
shall be null and void of no effect whatsoever.
(d) Any Stockholder may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, assign its right of first refusal under this Section 9
to purchase the Offered Shares to Wynn with respect to any incident in which
its right of first refusal is triggered under this Section 9.
(e) Except for Shares transferred pursuant to
Sections 2(b), 4, 7, 8, 10 and 11, no Shares may be Transferred until the
provisions of this Section 9 have been complied with.
10. Tag-Along Rights.
If any party is the Transferor required to provide the
Notice of Offer under Section 9(a), then each of the other two non-selling
parties to this Agreement shall each have a right (in addition to its rights
under Section 9) to participate in such Transfer pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 10.
During the fifteen-day Refusal Period described in Section 9(a),
each of non-selling parties may, by written notice to the Transferor, elect to
participate in such Transfer and to sell that percentage of the Total Shares
owned by each non-selling party as the case may be, which is equal to the Total
Shares that will be sold by the Transferor in such Transfer divided by the
Total Shares owned by the Transferor.
The terms and conditions of such Transfer (including the purchase price
per Share sold in such Transfer, the identity of the buyer(s), and the
consequences resulting from the other Stockholders exercise of any rights of
first refusal) shall be no less favorable to the non selling parties than to
the Transferor; provided, however, that in the event that SAW or Aruze is the
Transferor, he or Aruze may enter into service, noncompetition, or similar
11
agreements with the buyer and receive appropriate
consideration thereunder in which other Stockholders do not share.
11. Release of Shares.
Each of SAW and Aruze agree that commencing on January 6, 2010, and
continuing on each January 6 for a total of ten events, a number of Shares
owned by EW equal to $10,000,000 divided by the closing price of Wynn shares on
January 5, 2010 (or if January 5 is not a trading day, the trading
day immediately preceding January 5) shall be released from the
restrictions set forth in this Agreement (once released, the EW Released
Shares). If EW desires to sell any EW
Released Shares, she shall provide written notice of such desire to SAW and,
for a period of 48 hours from SAWs receipt of such notice, SAW shall have the
right to purchase any or all of such Shares for a price equal to the closing
price of the Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of
notice. SAW shall notify EW of his
election to purchase or not within 48 hours from the date of receipt of the
original notice. If SAW elects to
purchase hereunder, the purchase price shall be payable in cash no later than 3
business days after the date of election.
Notices to SAW under this Section 11 shall be transmitted by fax
and email to SAW at his last known business address and residence address

to purchase hereunder, the EW Released Shares will thereafter be held by EW
free and clear of any further restrictions on sale under this Agreement.
12. Recapitalization.
In the event of a stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the
Shares (or any class thereof) by reason of any split-up, recapitalization,
merger, combination, exchange of shares or the like, the term Shares shall
include, without limitation, all such stock dividends and distributions and any
shares into which or for which any or all of the Shares (or any class thereof)
may be changed or exchanged as may be appropriate to reflect such event.
13. Stockholder Capacity.
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein, no
Stockholder or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed to make any agreement or
understanding herein in a capacity other than that as stockholder of Wynn.

will cause the other parties hereto to sustain damages for which they would not
have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and therefore each of the
parties hereto agrees that in the event of any such breach the parties shall be
entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agreements
and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to
which he may be entitled, at law or in equity.
(h) Further Assurances.
From time to time, the Stockholders shall execute and deliver such
additional documents as may be necessary or desirable to consummate and make
effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
(i) Remedies Cumulative.
All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or
otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative
and not alternative, and the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not
preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or
remedy by such party.
(j) No Waiver. The failure
of any party hereto to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this
Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to
insist upon compliance by any other party hereto with its obligations
hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms
hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such party of its right to exercise
any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.
(k) No Third Party Beneficiaries.
This Agreement is not intended to be for the benefit of, and shall not
be enforceable by, any person or entity who or which is not a party hereto;
provided that, the obligations of the Designated Stockholders hereunder shall
inure to their transferees, successors and heirs.
(l) No Assignment.
Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, neither this Agreement
nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned (by operation
of law or otherwise) by any Stockholder without the prior
15
written consent of the
parties hereto and any attempt to do so will be void; provided, however, that
the rights under this Agreement may be assigned to the transferee in connection
with a Transfer that does not violate the terms of the Agreement.
(m) Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Nevada, without giving effect to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof.
(n) Jurisdiction.
Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the state courts in the State of Nevada in any action, suit or proceeding
arising in connection with this Agreement, and agrees that any such action,
suit or proceeding shall be brought only in such court (and waives any
objection based on forum non conveniens or any other objection to venue
therein); provided, however, that such consent to jurisdiction is solely for
the purpose referred to in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to be a
general submission to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Nevada
other than for such purposes. Each party
hereto hereby waives any right to a trial by jury in connection with any such
action, suit or proceeding.
(o) Descriptive Headings.
The descriptive headings used herein are inserted for convenience of
reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.
(p) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed to be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute
one and the same Agreement. This
Agreement shall not be effective as to any party hereto until such time as this
Agreement or a counterpart thereof has been executed and delivered by each
party hereto.

and effect until the Termination Date.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
