This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. We urge you to read this entire prospectus carefully, including the financial data and related notes and the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 17 before making an investment decision.
The second mortgage notes will be jointly issued by Wynn Las Vegas, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp., a Nevada corporation, referred to as Wynn Capital. The second mortgage notes will be guaranteed by our indirect parent, Valvino Lamore, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and certain of Valvino's subsidiaries designated as restricted entities. In September 2002, all of the members of Valvino contributed their membership interests in Valvino to our ultimate parent, Wynn Resorts, Limited, a Nevada corporation, and Valvino became a wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us," as used in this prospectus, mean, collectively, Wynn Las Vegas, Valvino and its subsidiaries that are guaranteeing the second mortgage notes. References to any other entity mean that entity without any subsidiaries. References to the restricted entities or the restricted group mean Valvino, Wynn Resorts Holdings, LLC, Wynn Design & Development, LLC, World Travel, LLC, Las Vegas Jet, LLC, Desert Inn Water Company, LLC and Palo, LLC.
We are constructing and will own and operate Le Rêve, which we have designed to be the preeminent luxury hotel and destination casino resort in Las Vegas. Le Rêve will be situated on approximately 192 acres at the site of the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. We expect Le Rêve to cost approximately $2.4 billion comprised of approximately $1.4 billion in design and construction costs and approximately $1 billion of additional costs, including the cost of 212 acres of land consisting of an approximately 55-acre plot on which Le Rêve is being constructed, an approximately 137-acre plot located behind the hotel on which the new golf course will be built and an adjacent 20-acre parcel, capitalized interest, pre-opening expenses, certain furniture, fixtures and equipment and all financing fees. We expect Le Rêve to feature approximately 2,700 luxurious guest rooms, a casually elegant casino of approximately 111,000 square feet, 18 distinctive dining outlets, an exclusive on-site 18-hole championship golf course and a new water-based entertainment production. We have scheduled groundbreaking to occur in October 2002, with an opening to the general public scheduled for April 2005.
Le Rêve is the concept of Stephen A. Wynn, one of Wynn Resorts' principal stockholders and its Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Wynn was previously Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirage Resorts, Incorporated and its predecessor from 1973 to 2000. In that role, he was responsible for the development of Bellagio, The Mirage, Treasure Island at The Mirage and the Golden NuggetLas Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as the Atlantic City Golden Nugget in New Jersey and Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi. We intend for Le Rêve to set a new standard of luxury and elegance for destination casino resorts in Las Vegas.
2
Treasure Island at The Mirage. Many of the other people on the design team worked with Mr. Wynn at Mirage Resorts to develop Bellagio.
We will enter into a disbursement agreement with the agents under the credit facilities and the furniture, fixtures and equipment loan facility and the second mortgage note trustee which will govern the sequence of funding and will require us to satisfy specified conditions before we may use the proceeds of our debt instruments and certain of the other sources described below to fund Le Rêve construction costs.

Investing in the second mortgage notes involves substantial risks, including the following:
Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Capital are indirect subsidiaries of Wynn Resorts. Concurrent with this offering, Wynn Resorts is offering shares of its common stock in an initial public offering expected to raise approximately $450 million in gross proceeds. Wynn Resorts will contribute approximately $374.7 million of its initial public offering net proceeds and Valvino will contribute all of its existing cash on hand to Wynn Las Vegas. We intend to use
to fund Le Rêve's project costs. We have obtained commitments for the revolving credit facility and the delay draw term loan facility, and the placement agent for the furniture,
4
fixtures and equipment loan facility has received commitments from the lenders who will be parties to that loan facility. We sometimes refer to the revolving credit facility and the delay draw term loan facility as the credit facilities and to the furniture, fixtures and equipment loan facility as the FF&E facility. Consummation of this offering is conditioned on consummation of the offering of Wynn Resorts' common stock and on Wynn Las Vegas entering into the agreements governing the credit facilities and FF&E facility. These conditions may not be waived by the issuers.
The following chart illustrates the organizational structure of our principal operations upon the consummation of this offering. This chart depicts the relationships between our various operations and our ownership interests in them. It does not contain all of our subsidiaries and, in some cases, we have combined separate entities for presentation purposes. We have also indicated which entities initially will be borrowers, issuers, guarantors and restricted entities under the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, the credit facilities and the FF&E facility. All other entities, including Wynn Resorts and the Macau-related subsidiaries, will not be guarantors and will not be subject to the covenants in the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, the credit facilities or the FF&E facility, except that Wynn Resorts will become a guarantor under these debt instruments, but not subject to their covenants, if it incurs certain indebtedness in excess of $10 million in the aggregate or becomes a guarantor on other specified indebtedness.
Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A., a majority-owned indirect subsidiary of Wynn Resorts referred to as Wynn Macau, recently entered into a 20-year concession agreement with the government of the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China permitting Wynn Macau to construct and operate one or more casino gaming properties in Macau. Wynn Resorts owns its majority interest in Wynn Macau through a line of subsidiaries that is separate from the subsidiaries of Wynn Resorts that own Le Rêve. The assets of Wynn Macau and other Macau-related subsidiaries will not serve as collateral for our Le Rêve indebtedness.

9
|
be effectively subordinated to our and the guarantors' obligations under our $1.0 billion credit facilities and our $188.5 million FF&E facility (which we would request the FF&E lenders to increase to $198.5 million if we purchase a replacement corporate aircraft), which are secured by higher priority liens on our assets. |

|||
We might not be able to pay you the required price for the second mortgage notes you present for repurchase at the time of a change of control, because: |
||||
|
we might not have enough funds at that time; or |
|||
|
the terms of our credit facilities, FF&E facility or other debt might prevent us from paying. |
|||
Asset Sales and Events of Loss |
If we or the restricted entities sell certain assets or experience certain events of loss following the final completion date of Le Rêve, we may be required to offer to repurchase the second mortgage notes with any remaining net cash proceeds after satisfying our senior debt and other obligations if we do not use the proceeds as required. |

||||
11
Disbursement Agreement |
We will enter into a disbursement agreement with the trustee, representatives of the lenders under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility and a disbursement agent that will establish the conditions to and sequencing of funding of, the equity contributions held by us from Wynn Resorts, borrowings under the credit facilities and FF&E facility and disbursements of funds from the account holding the proceeds of the second mortgage notes. |
|||
Under the disbursement agreement, it will be a condition to disbursement of the proceeds of this offering that we first use a substantial portion of the cash equity contributions, other than the equity contributions that will be segregated into the completion guarantee account and the liquidity reserve account, to fund construction of the Le Rêve project. In turn, it is a condition to disbursement of borrowings under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility that we first use the proceeds of this offering before we are permitted to borrow under those facilities. |
||||
The disbursement agreement will also set forth procedures for approving construction change orders and amendments to the construction budget and schedule. Inspection & Valuation International, Inc. will act as independent construction consultant on behalf of the lenders under the disbursement agreement and will be required to approve certain portions of each request by Wynn Las Vegas for the disbursement of funds. |
||||
Intercreditor Agreement with Credit Agreement Lenders |
Representatives of the lenders under the credit facilities and the trustee will enter into a project lenders intercreditor agreement that will govern the relations between the holders of the second mortgage notes and the lenders under the credit facilities. The project lenders intercreditor agreement will reflect the fact that the second mortgage note holders will have a first priority security interest in the proceeds of this offering but that the lenders under the credit facilities will have a first priority security interest in substantially all of the other assets of Wynn Las Vegas and the restricted entities (other than certain furniture, fixtures and equipment) and the second mortgage note holders will have a second priority security interest in such collateral. |
|||
12
The project lenders intercreditor agreement will provide that, until the indebtedness under the credit facilities has been repaid in full: |
||||
|
the lenders under the credit facilities will have the exclusive right to exercise remedies against the collateral securing the second mortgage notes and the credit facilities, and to determine the circumstances and manner in which that collateral may be disposed of, subject to the rights of the lenders under the FF&E facility with respect to the FF&E collateral, |
|||
|
the agent under the credit facilities can amend various terms of, and waive defaults under, the security documents without the consent of the second mortgage noteholders and |
|||
|
the agent under the credit facilities has the right to amend the disbursement agreement or to waive any defaults, or conditions to funding, under the disbursement agreement in certain circumstances. |
|||
Under the project lenders intercreditor agreement, the note holders cannot vote to accept a plan of reorganization or other restructuring plan, unless lenders holding two-thirds of the outstanding loans under the credit facilities vote in favor of that plan. However, the note holders are not required to vote in favor of a plan that the lenders under the credit facilities approve, and are free to challenge any such plan on fundamental fairness and other grounds. |
||||
The project lenders intercreditor agreement will limit the exercise of remedies by the second mortgage note holders against their collateral and may prevent timely payment on the second mortgage notes if a default has occurred. Under the project lenders intercreditor agreement, the trustee will have the exclusive right to exercise, or not exercise, remedies against the net proceeds of this offering. |
||||
Intercreditor Agreement with Credit Agreement Lenders and FF&E Lenders |
A representative of the lenders under the credit facilities and the trustee for the second mortgage notes, on the one hand, and the representative of the lenders under the FF&E facility, on the other hand, will enter into an FF&E intercreditor agreement that will govern the relations between the credit facilities lenders and the second mortgage note holders, on the one hand, and the lenders under the FF&E facility on the other hand. |
|||
13
The FF&E intercreditor agreement will reflect the fact that the lenders under the FF&E facility will have a first priority lien on the furniture, fixtures and equipment for Le Rêve that is financed by draws on the FF&E facility, the lenders under the credit facilities will have a second priority lien on such collateral and the second mortgage note holders will have a third priority lien on such collateral. |
||||
The lenders under the FF&E facility will have, until repayment in full of the FF&E facility, the exclusive right to dispose of any of the FF&E collateral or otherwise exercise any of the remedies available to a secured creditor in connection with the FF&E collateral. The FF&E intercreditor agreement will also limit the exercise of remedies by the lenders under the credit facilities and the second mortgage note holders against the FF&E collateral and may prevent timely payment on the second mortgage notes if a default has occurred. |
||||
$50 Million Completion Guarantee |
One of our wholly owned unrestricted subsidiaries, a special purpose entity sometimes referred to as the completion guarantor, will be providing a $50.0 million completion guarantee in favor of the trustee (for the benefit of the holders of the second mortgage notes) and the administrative agent (as the representative of the lenders under the credit facilities). The completion guarantee will, subject to a $50.0 million cap, guarantee completion in full of the construction and opening of Le Rêve, including all furniture, fixtures and equipment, the parking structure, the golf course and the availability of initial working capital. |
|||
Wynn Resorts will make a capital contribution concurrently with the closing of its initial public offering of $50.0 million of the net proceeds of that offering to the completion guarantor to support the completion guarantor's obligations under the completion guarantee. These funds will be deposited into a collateral account to be held in cash and/or certain permitted securities, and pledged to the lenders under the credit facilities on a first priority basis and the holders of the second mortgage notes on a second priority basis. |
||||
Pursuant to the disbursement agreement, funds in the completion guarantee account will be available to us on a gradual basis to apply to the costs of the project, including for cost overruns, only after fifty percent of the Le Rêve construction work has been completed. After completion and opening of Le Rêve, any amounts remaining in the completion guarantee account may be released to us, and at our direction to our parent, Wynn Resorts. |
||||
14
Liquidity Reserve Account |
Wynn Resorts will, concurrently with the closing of its initial public offering, make a capital contribution to us in an amount equal to $30.0 million. We will deposit these funds in the liquidity reserve account to be held in cash and/or permitted securities. The lenders under the credit facilities will have a first priority lien on this account and the holders of the second mortgage notes will have a second priority lien on this account. |
|||
Amounts in the liquidity reserve account will be available to us on a gradual basis to apply to the costs of the project, including cost overruns, only after fifty percent of the construction work has been completed and only after amounts in the completion guarantee account have been exhausted. Following completion of Le Rêve, funds remaining in the liquidity reserve account will be available to meet our debt service needs. Once we have met prescribed cash flow tests for a period of four consecutive calendar quarters after the opening of Le Rêve, any remaining funds will be used to reduce the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility but without reducing the revolving credit facility commitment. |
||||
Limitations on Exercise of Remedies Against Completion Guarantee Account and Liquidity Reserve Account |
If an event of default occurs while amounts are outstanding under the credit facilities, the holders of the second mortgage notes will have limited or no recourse to the funds in the completion guarantee account and the liquidity reserve account because the lenders under the credit facilities would be entitled to payment in full of their obligations before the holders of the second mortgage notes are entitled to payments from any of our assets. |
|||
Use of Proceeds |
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, along with the borrowings under the credit facilities and FF&E facility and equity contributions from Wynn Resorts and Valvino, to design, construct, develop, equip and open Le Rêve. |
|||
The net proceeds of this offering will be deposited in a secured account and will be invested in highly rated securities at our discretion pending disbursement under the disbursement agreement. The trustee under the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, for the benefit of the holders of the second mortgage notes, will have a first priority lien on the net proceeds held in the secured account. |
||||
15
The disbursement agreement will require, among other conditions, that a substantial portion of the cash equity contributions made by Wynn Resorts and Valvino be expended on the Le Rêve project before the proceeds of this offering are released from the secured account and applied to the project. The remaining cash equity contribution will be held in the completion guarantee account and the liquidity reserve account. None of the proceeds of this offering of second mortgage notes will be used to fund the development or construction of Wynn Macau's casino(s) in Macau. For more information regarding the sources and uses of the financing for the construction of Le Rêve, please see "Use of Proceeds." |

There are significant conditions to the funding of the remaining components of the financing for the Le Rêve project.
Concurrent with the closing of this offering and Wynn Resorts' initial public offering of common stock, we will enter into credit facilities providing for borrowings up to $1 billion and the FF&E facility providing for additional loans up to $188.5 million, which Wynn Las Vegas may request the FF&E lenders to increase to $198.5 million if we purchase a replacement corporate aircraft. The closings of this offering, Wynn Resorts' initial public offering, the credit facilities and the FF&E facility will be conditioned on each other. Wynn Resorts will contribute $374.7 million of the net proceeds of its initial public offering and Valvino will contribute all of its existing cash to Wynn Las Vegas.
We will enter into a disbursement agreement with the agents under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility and the second mortgage note trustee. Under the disbursement agreement, we are required to first use the equity contributions from Wynn Resorts and Valvino, other than the funds to be contributed to the completion guarantor and to be held in the liquidity reserve account, to fund the development, construction and pre-opening costs of Le Rêve. When those funds are depleted in approximately ten to twelve months after the closing of this offering, we will be permitted to use the proceeds of the second mortgage notes. We will not be permitted to borrow under the credit facilities or the FF&E facility until we have applied all of the proceeds of this offering, which is expected to be approximately 16 to 19 months after the closing of this offering.
Our ability to borrow under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility will be subject to various conditions precedent. As such, all of the proceeds from this offering will have been spent before we know whether the conditions to disbursement of funds under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility will have been satisfied. In addition to other customary conditions to funding for these types of facilities, our ability to draw on the credit facilities and the FF&E facility will be subject to the following conditions:
17
We cannot assure you that we will be able to satisfy the conditions to funding at the time disbursements or drawdowns are required to make payments of our construction costs. Satisfaction of various conditions is subject to the discretion of our lenders under the credit facilities and their consultants and is therefore beyond our control.
Although these conditions must also be satisfied before we may draw funds from the second mortgage notes secured account, the lenders under our credit facilities and the FF&E facility will not confirm that, from their perspective, any conditions have been satisfied until we request draws under their respective facilities.
Any failure to satisfy the conditions to drawdowns under the credit facilities or the FF&E facility could severely impact our ability to complete Le Rêve and could arise after some or all of the proceeds of this offering, or before or after any of the borrowings under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility, have been expended on the project. If this failure occurs after we have made our initial borrowings under these facilities, and if this failure causes a default under the agreements governing these facilities, any recovery by the second mortgage note holders effectively would be subordinated to the lenders under these facilities, given that these facilities are secured by liens that are prior to the liens securing the second mortage notes. Neither we nor Wynn Resorts may have access to alternative sources of funds necessary to complete Le Rêve on satisfactory terms or at all.
The development costs of Le Rêve are estimates only, and actual development costs may be higher than expected.
Not all of the plans and specifications for Le Rêve have been finalized. We expect the total development cost of Le Rêve to be approximately $2.4 billion, including the budgeted design and construction costs, cost of the land, capitalized interest, pre-opening expenses and all financing fees. The required cash interest payments and commitment fees on the credit facilities, FF&E facility, second mortgage notes and any other indebtedness and obligations of ours which will become due through the estimated commencement date of operations of Le Rêve have been included in our estimate of the total development cost.
While we believe that the overall budget for the development costs for Le Rêve is reasonable, these development costs are estimates and the actual development costs may be higher than expected. For example, a delay in the commencement of construction beyond the scheduled commencement date may increase the overall budget for Le Rêve and under certain circumstances we may be responsible for the increased costs. Although we have a $34.3 million owners' contingency, a $50 million completion guarantee and a $30 million liquidity reserve to cover cost overruns, these contingencies may not be sufficient to cover the full amount of such overruns. Moreover, the disbursement agreement imposes conditions on the use of these contingencies, including that the completion guarantee and the liquidity reserve are only available to us incrementally once the project is halfway completed. If we are unable to use these contingencies or if these contingencies are not sufficient to cover these costs, we may not have the funds required to pay the excess costs. Our inability to pay
18
development costs as they are incurred will negatively affect our ability to complete Le Rêve and thus may significantly impair our business operations and prospects.
Cost overruns could cause us to be out of "balance" under the disbursement agreement and, consequently, prevent us from obtaining funds from the second mortgage note proceeds secured account or, after those funds are exhausted, to draw down under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility. If we cannot obtain these funds, we will not be able to open Le Rêve to the general public on schedule or at all, which would have a significant negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations and our ability to satisfy our obligations under the second mortgage notes.
Not all of the construction costs of Le Rêve are covered by our guaranteed maximum price construction contract, and we will be responsible for any cost overruns of these excluded items.
We have entered into a guaranteed maximum price construction contract with Marnell Corrao covering approximately $919 million of the budgeted $1.4 billion design and construction costs for Le Rêve. We are responsible for cost overruns with respect to the remaining approximately $488 million of the $1.4 billion of budgeted components that are not part of the guaranteed maximum price contract. The guaranteed maximum price contract does not include items such as the costs of construction of the new golf course and the principal parking garage and approximately $303 million in interior design and related furniture, fixtures and equipment. For a detailed breakdown of the items included in the portions of the budget not covered by the guaranteed maximum price construction contract, see "BusinessConstruction Schedule and Budget." While we may in the future enter into other agreements that may seek to limit our exposure to construction cost increases, the actual costs for these items may exceed budgeted costs.
The guaranteed maximum price under the Marnell Corrao construction contract may increase, and we would be responsible for the amount of any increase.
Although we have a $919 million guaranteed maximum price construction contract with Marnell Corrao, it provides that the guaranteed maximum price will be appropriately increased, and the deadline for the contractor's obligation to complete construction will be appropriately adjusted, on account of, among other things:
Although we have determined the overall scope and general design of Le Rêve, not all of the detailed plans and specifications have been finalized. We do not have final plans for construction components comprising approximately $493.5 million of the approximately $919 million Marnell Corrao construction contract. With respect to the construction components for which plans and specifications have not been finalized, the guaranteed maximum price is based on master concept plans and agreed upon design and other
19
premises and assumptions for the detailed plans to be created. Construction will commence before completion of all drawings and specifications.
Inconsistencies between the completed drawings and specifications and the premises and assumptions on which the approximately $919 million guaranteed maximum price was based could, under specific circumstances, cause us to be responsible for costs in excess of the guaranteed maximum price. For example, if the initial drawings, when finalized, are inconsistent with the premises and assumptions, we will be responsible for the increase, if any, in the cost to construct the work covered by those drawings over the previously agreed upon amounts designated for such work in the guaranteed maximum price. Furthermore, the premises and assumptions may not be sufficiently specific to determine, as between the contractor and us, who is responsible for cost overruns in specific situations.
The liquidated damages provision in our guaranteed maximum price construction contract likely will not be sufficient to protect us against exposure to actual damages we may suffer for delay in completion of the project.
Under the construction contract with Marnell Corrao, the guaranteed date of substantial completion is 910 calendar days from the date we direct Marnell Corrao by written notice to commence construction. The contract provides for liquidated damages in the amount of $300,000 per day to be imposed on Marnell Corrao on a daily basis, up to a maximum of 30 days, for a maximum amount of $9 million, if all work required by the construction contract is not substantially completed by the deadline, following a five-day grace period and subject to force majeure and other permitted extensions. We cannot assure you that construction will be completed on schedule and, if completion of the construction were delayed beyond the grace period, our actual damages would likely exceed $300,000 per day.
In addition, if the contractor defaults under the construction contract, we may be unable to complete Le Rêve on schedule or within the amount budgeted. Failure to complete construction on schedule may have a significant negative impact on our operations and financial condition and ability to satisfy our obligations under the second mortgage notes.
The financial resources of our contractor may be insufficient to fund cost overruns or liquidated damages for which it is responsible under the guaranteed maximum price contract.
Under the terms of the construction contract with Marnell Corrao, Marnell Corrao is, subject to specific conditions and limitations, responsible for all construction costs covered by the construction contract that exceed the approximately $919 million guaranteed maximum price contained in the contract.
Austi, the parent company of the contractor, which is a private company controlled by the Anthony A. Marnell II family, has agreed to provide a continuing guaranty by which Austi guarantees Marnell Corrao's full performance under the construction contract until final payment under that contract. In addition, Marnell Corrao is obligated to obtain and provide a $150 million contractor performance and payment bond.
We cannot assure you that Marnell Corrao and Austi will have sufficient financial resources to fund any cost overruns or liquidated damages for which Marnell Corrao is responsible under the guaranteed maximum price contract. Furthermore, neither Marnell Corrao nor Austi is contractually obligated to maintain its financial resources to cover cost overruns. If Marnell Corrao and Austi do not have the resources to meet their obligations and we are unable to obtain funds under the performance and payment bond in a timely manner,
20
or if the performance and payment bond is insufficient to cover any shortfall, we may need to pay these excess costs in order to complete construction of Le Rêve.
Certain provisions in the construction contract with Marnell Corrao for construction of Le Rêve may be unenforceable.
Recently enacted Nevada statutes have substantially impaired, and in some cases eliminated, an owner's ability to withhold funds from a contractor or subcontractor, even when there may be defective work or a dispute about amounts owed. The new laws also limit an owner's ability to terminate, suspend or interrupt the construction, and in several circumstances, entitle the contractor and subcontractor to payment of their full unearned fee, following a brief notice period, if the owner suspends, terminates or interrupts the construction or fails to make payment or withholds amounts claimed to be due. In addition, Nevada law permits contractors and subcontractors to terminate construction contracts upon very short notice periods if any payments are not timely made to the contractors. The construction contract with Marnell Corrao contains provisions that provide us with rights and protections that in some circumstances may be inconsistent with these new laws. While it appears that some of the new laws can be waived, others expressly prohibit waiver. The effect of the new laws on the provisions of the construction contract is not completely clear. Therefore, while we have negotiated with Marnell Corrao for specific rights and obligations, including with respect to damages, termination and suspension of construction, those provisions of the construction contract may not be enforceable to the extent they conflict with non-waivable provisions of applicable laws. If the provisions of the construction contract are not enforceable, delays or suspensions in the work initiated by the owner or other events may expose us to increased costs. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds to pay these increased costs.
There are significant risks associated with major construction projects that may prevent completion of Le Rêve on budget and on schedule.
Major construction projects of the scope and scale of Le Rêve entail significant risks, including:
Construction, equipment or staffing problems or difficulties in obtaining any of the requisite licenses, permits and authorizations from regulatory authorities could increase the total cost, delay or prevent the construction or opening or otherwise affect the design and features of Le Rêve.
We anticipate that only some of the subcontractors engaged by the contractor to perform work and/or supply materials in connection with the construction of Le Rêve will post bonds guaranteeing timely completion of a subcontractor's work and payment for all of that subcontractor's labor and materials. We cannot assure you that these bonds will be adequate to ensure completion of the work.
21
We cannot assure you that Le Rêve will commence operations on schedule or that construction costs for Le Rêve will not exceed budgeted amounts. Failure to complete Le Rêve on budget or on schedule may have a significant negative effect on us and on our ability to make payments on the second mortgage notes.
Simultaneous construction of Le Rêve and the Macau casino(s) may stretch management time and resources.
Le Rêve is scheduled to open in April 2005, and Wynn Resorts' subsidiary Wynn Macau may pursue development of its first permanent casino resort in Macau in the same time period. If both projects are being built simultaneously, members of Wynn Resorts' senior management will be involved in planning and developing both projects. Developing the Macau opportunity simultaneously with Le Rêve may divert management resources from the construction and/or opening of Le Rêve. Management's inability to devote sufficient time and attention to the Le Rêve project may delay the construction or opening of Le Rêve. This type of delay could have a negative effect on our business and operations.
Risks Related to Our Substantial Indebtedness
We are highly leveraged and future cash flow may not be sufficient to meet our obligations, including our obligations under the second mortgage notes, and we might have difficulty obtaining more financing.
As we progress toward the completion of the construction of Le Rêve, we will have a substantial amount of debt in relation to our equity, which debt will increase during the construction period. Concurrent with the closing of this offering, we will enter into debt facilities that will result in total outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.5 billion, including the second mortgage notes, by the time Le Rêve is completed.
Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences for you. For example:
in each case, subject to procedural restraints and limitations applicable to secured creditors generally and also those imposed by applicable gaming laws, rules and regulations and the rules and regulations of the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada;
22
cannot assure you that upon exercise of remedies by our lenders, our assets will be sufficient to repay all or any portion of the second mortgage notes;
Under the terms of the indenture, our credit facilities and our FF&E facility, we will be permitted to incur additional indebtedness, which will be limited under our credit facilities and FF&E facility to $71 million, of which up to $60 million may be secured senior indebtedness. We will also be permitted to incur additional secured senior indebtedness in an amount sufficient to acquire up to ten indentified parcels of land adjacent to the golf course land at fair market value. If we incur additional indebtedness, the risks described above will be exacerbated.
We may not generate sufficient cash flow to meet our substantial debt service and other obligations, including our obligations under the second mortgage notes.
Before the opening of Le Rêve, which is expected to occur in April 2005, we will have no material operations or earnings. Consequently, we will be dependent on the proceeds of this offering, borrowings under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility and the proceeds of Wynn Resorts' offering of common stock to meet all of our construction, debt service and other obligations.
After Le Rêve opens, our ability to make interest payments under the credit facilities, the FF&E facility, the second mortgage notes and other indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. We cannot assure you that we will begin operations by the scheduled opening date or at all, or that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our expenses, including our debt service requirements. Our ability to generate cash flow will depend upon many factors, including:
23
Some of these factors are beyond our control. Any inability to meet our debt service obligations would have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, future financing documents for the Macau opportunity may contain restrictions or prohibitions on the distribution to Wynn Resorts of any cash flow generated by the casino(s). Any cash flow generated by one or more Macau casinos operated by Wynn Macau will not be generated by entities which are guarantors of our indebtedness. Thus, any cash flow generated by the Macau casinos may not be available to service our debt service obligations.
The second mortgage notes will have a junior lien on a substantial portion of our assets, and will have no liens on certain assets.
Although the holders of the second mortgage notes will have a first priority lien on the net proceeds of this offering, once those proceeds are disbursed pursuant to the disbursement agreement for the construction of the Le Rêve project, they will have only a second priority lien on the assets comprising the project and a third priority lien on the furniture, fixtures and equipment that are purchased under the FF&E facility.
The holders of the second mortgage notes will not have a lien on our gaming license because under the Nevada gaming laws it may not be pledged as collateral. In addition, we must seek approval from the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada before we may grant any liens in the water rights which would be used for general irrigation purposes, irrigation of the golf course and to supply water for the Lê Reve lake. We will not have such approval at the time of the closing and may not obtain such approval before we begin disbursing the second mortgage notes proceeds or at all. The credit facilities, the FF&E facility and the second mortgage notes will not be secured by any assets related to Wynn Macau's planned operations in Macau.
The guarantors of the second mortgage notes likely will not be able to contribute to any payments with respect to the second mortgage notes.
The primary purpose of the guarantees is to provide second priority liens on the assets of the guarantors, including the golf course, the Phase II land, and equity interests in their subsidiaries. While the guarantors hold assets that are integral to Le Rêve, they are not expected to have operations that generate significant cash flows. As such, you should not expect Valvino or any of the other guarantors to contribute to any payments of principal, interest or other amounts required to be made on the second mortgage notes.
The credit facilities, the FF&E facility and the indenture governing the second mortgage notes will contain covenants that will restrict our ability to engage in certain transactions and may impair our ability to respond to changing business and economic conditions.
The credit facilities, the FF&E facility and the indenture governing the second mortgage notes will impose operating and financial restrictions on us and specified affiliates designated as restricted entities. The restrictions that will be imposed under these debt instruments will include, among other things, limitations on our ability to:
24
The credit facilities will require us to satisfy various financial covenants, including maximum total leverage, minimum fixed charge coverage, minimum earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization and minimum net worth requirements. Future indebtedness or other contracts could contain financial or other covenants more restrictive than those applicable to the credit facilities, the FF&E facility and the second mortgage notes.
Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by general economic conditions, industry conditions, other events beyond our control and delayed completion of Le Rêve. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with these covenants. Our failure to comply with the covenants contained in the credit facilities, the FF&E facility or the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, including failure as a result of events beyond our control, could result in an event of default, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results and our financial condition.
If there were an event of default under one of our debt instruments, the holders of the defaulted debt could cause all amounts outstanding with respect to that debt to be due and payable immediately. We cannot assure you that our assets or cash flow would be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under our outstanding debt instruments, including the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, if accelerated upon an event of default, or that we would be able to repay, refinance or restructure the payments on those debt securities. Further, if we are unable to repay, refinance or restructure our indebtedness under our credit facilities and the FF&E facility, the lenders under those facilities could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness. In that event, any proceeds received upon a realization of the collateral would be applied first to amounts due under our credit facilities and, with respect to the collateral securing the FF&E facility, applied first to amounts due under the FF&E facility before any proceeds would be available to make payments on the second mortgage notes. See "Risks Related to the Offering and the Second Mortgage NotesThe liens securing the indebtedness under the credit facilities and FF&E facility generally will be senior to the liens securing the second mortgage notes."
25
General Risks Associated with Our Business
We have no operating history.
We were formed principally to develop and operate Le Rêve in Las Vegas. Le Rêve will be a new development which has no history of operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract a sufficient number of hotel guests, gaming customers and other visitors to Le Rêve to make our operations profitable.
Our operations will be subject to the significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive uncertainties and contingencies frequently encountered by new businesses in competitive environments, many of which are beyond our control. Because we have no operating history, it may be more difficult for us to prepare for and respond to these types of risks and the risks described elsewhere in this prospectus than for a company with an established business and operating cash flow. If we are not able to manage these risks successfully, it could negatively impact our operations.
We intend to lease approximately eight of the retail spaces at Le Rêve and will own and operate the remaining approximately 18 retail spaces. We have entered into one restaurant management agreement, and we may enter into others with respect to one or more of the restaurants at Le Rêve. We have not yet entered into binding agreements with any retail tenants or other restaurant operators, and we may not be able to obtain the number or quality of retail tenants or restaurant operators for the retail and restaurant portions of Le Rêve that currently are planned. If we do not obtain tenants and operators in sufficient number or of sufficient quality, it could impair the competitive position of Le Rêve and affect our operating performance.
Until construction of Le Rêve is close to completion, we do not believe that we will require extensive operational management. Accordingly, we have kept and intend to keep our permanent management staff at relatively low levels. We will be required to undertake a major recruiting program before Le Rêve opens. However, the pool of experienced gaming and other personnel is limited and competition to recruit and retain gaming and other personnel is likely to intensify as competition in the Las Vegas hotel casino market increases. We cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified individuals to operate Le Rêve on acceptable terms.
The loss of Stephen A. Wynn could significantly harm our business.
Our ability to maintain our competitive position is dependent to a large degree on the efforts and skills of Stephen A. Wynn, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and one of the principal stockholders of Wynn Resorts. Wynn Resorts has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Wynn. However, we cannot assure you that Mr. Wynn will remain with us. If Wynn Resorts loses the services of Mr. Wynn or if he is unable to devote sufficient attention to our operations, our business may be significantly impaired. In addition, if Mr. Wynn is no longer either employed by Wynn Resorts as Chief Executive Officer or serving as Chairman of the Board of Wynn Resorts, other than as a result of death or disability or other limited circumstances, it would constitute a change of control that requires us to repay the second mortgage notes and would constitute an event of default under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility.
The casino, hotel, convention and other facilities at Le Rêve will face intense competition.
Las Vegas Casino/Hotel Competition. The casino/hotel industry is highly competitive. Resorts located on or near the Las Vegas Strip compete with other Las Vegas Strip hotels and
26
with other hotel casinos in Las Vegas on the basis of overall atmosphere, range of amenities, level of service, price, location, entertainment, theme and size. Le Rêve also will compete with a large number of other hotels and motels located in and near Las Vegas, as well as other resort destinations. Many of our competitors have established gaming operations, are subsidiaries or divisions of large public companies and may have greater financial and other resources than we do.
According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, there were approximately 94,277 hotel rooms on or around the Las Vegas Strip as of December 31, 2001. Competitors of Le Rêve will include resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, among which are Bally's Las Vegas, Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Harrah's Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, Luxor Hotel and Casino, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, The Mirage, Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino, New York-New York Hotel and Casino, Paris Las Vegas, Treasure Island at The Mirage and The Venetian, and resorts off the Las Vegas Strip, such as Las Vegas Hilton, The Palms Casino Resort and Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. The Venetian has begun an expansion anticipated to consist of an approximately 1,000-room hotel tower on top of the resort's existing parking garage and approximately 150,000 square feet of additional meeting and conference space. The Venetian's expansion is expected to be completed by June 2003. In addition, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino has announced that it will begin construction of a 1,122-room, all-suite tower connected to the current hotel casino resort in September 2002, with an expected opening in October 2003. Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino also is expected to open a new convention and meeting complex in January 2003, and Caesars Palace is currently constructing an approximately 4,000-seat performing arts "Colosseum," which is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2003. Moreover, MGM Mirage has announced that it will begin construction in mid-2003 of an approximately 925-room "spa tower" addition to Bellagio, as well as expand Bellagio's spa and salon, meeting space and retail space, with an expected completion in December 2004.
The construction and expansion of these properties during the time that Le Rêve is being constructed may affect the availability of construction labor and supplies, resulting in increased costs. We cannot assure you that the Las Vegas market will continue to grow or that hotel casino resorts will continue to be popular. A decline or leveling off of the growth or popularity of hotel casino resorts or the appeal of the features offered by Le Rêve would impair our financial condition and future results of operations.
As noted elsewhere in this prospectus, Le Rêve will be different from many other Las Vegas resorts in that it will not focus on a highly themed experience. Instead, Le Rêve will offer an environment having a sophisticated, casually elegant ambience. Le Rêve's environment may not appeal to customers. In addition, customer preferences and trends can change, often without warning, and we may not be able to predict or respond to changes in customer preferences in time to adapt Le Rêve and the attractions and amenities it offers to address new trends.
Other Competition for Le Rêve. Le Rêve also will compete, to some extent, with other hotel/casino facilities in Nevada and in Atlantic City, with riverboat gaming facilities in other states, with hotel/casino facilities elsewhere in the world, with state lotteries and with Internet gaming. In addition, certain states recently have legalized, and others may or are likely to legalize, casino gaming in specific areas. Passage of the Tribal Government Gaming and Economic Self-Sufficiency Act in 1988 has led to rapid increases in Native American gaming operations. Also, in March 2000, California voters approved an amendment to the California Constitution allowing federally recognized Native American tribes to conduct and operate slot machines, lottery games and banked and percentage card games on Native American land in California. As a result, casino-style gaming on tribal lands is growing and could become a
27
significant competitive force. The proliferation of Native American gaming in California could have a negative impact on our operations. The proliferation of gaming activities in other areas could significantly harm our business as well. In particular, the legalization of casino gaming in or near metropolitan areas, such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston, from which we intend to attract customers, could have a substantial negative effect on our business. In addition, new or renovated casinos in Macau or elsewhere in Asia could draw Asian gaming customers, including high-rollers, away from Las Vegas.
Because we may be entirely dependent upon one property for all of our cash flow, we will be subject to greater risks than a gaming company with more operating properties.
We do not expect to have material assets or operations other than Le Rêve for the foreseeable future. As a result, we likely will be entirely dependent upon Le Rêve for all of our cash flow. The Macau entities are not guarantors of our indebtedness. In addition, the financing documents for the Macau opportunity may contain restrictions or prohibitions on the distribution to Wynn Resorts of any cash flow generated by these projects. Accordingly, cash flow generated by those Macau casino(s) will not be available to service our indebtedness, including our obligations under the second mortgage notes, or support our operations. See "Risks Related to Our Substantial IndebtednessWe may not generate sufficient cash flow to meet our substantial debt service and other obligations, including our obligations under the second mortgage notes."
Given that our operations initially will only focus on one property in Las Vegas, we will be subject to greater degrees of risk than a gaming company with more operating properties. The risks to which we will have a greater degree of exposure include the following:
Also, although we have obtained title insurance policies to protect the lenders under our credit facilities and the note holders against defects in title of the Le Rêve property, the amount of our debt will be so large that any losses due to defects in title may exceed the resources of the title insurance companies.
Any of the factors outlined above could negatively affect our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to make payments on the second mortgage notes pursuant to the indenture, on borrowings under the credit facilities or the FF&E facility or with respect to our other debt.
Wynn Resorts' ownership and management of both Le Rêve and a second resort developed on either the 20-acre parcel or the golf course land could negatively impact Le Rêve.
Wynn Resorts' ownership of both Le Rêve and additional resorts developed on the 20-acre parcel adjacent to the site of Le Rêve and/or the golf course parcel may result in conflicting business goals because, once released from the liens under the credit facilities and
28
second mortgage notes, a Phase II or other project developed on either site would likely be developed through an entity that is not part of the restricted group and could potentially compete with Le Rêve. For example, if Wynn Resorts or a subsidiary outside the restricted group develops a Phase II resort on either the golf course land or the 20-acre parcel, it could offer discounts and other incentives for visitors to stay at a Phase II resort, which might result in a competitive advantage for the Phase II resort over Le Rêve. In addition, that entity also may choose to allocate certain business opportunities, such as potential restaurant, dining and entertainment tenants or requests for room reservations, to the Phase II resort instead of Le Rêve. Although Wynn Resorts' common ownership of both Le Rêve and Phase II resort may result in economies of scale, efficiencies and joint business opportunities for the two resorts, if the Phase II resort is owned by an entity that is not part of the restricted group, then Le Rêve may, in certain circumstances, bear the greater burden of the expenses that are shared by both resorts. In addition, management's time may be split between overseeing the operation of the resorts. In certain circumstances, management may devote more time to the ownership and operational responsibilities of the Phase II resort than those of Le Rêve.
Terrorism and the uncertainty of war, as well as other factors affecting discretionary consumer spending, may harm our operating results.
The strength and profitability of our business will depend on consumer demand for hotel casino resorts in general and for the type of luxury amenities Le Rêve will offer. Changes in consumer preferences or discretionary consumer spending could harm our business. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and ongoing terrorist and war activities in the United States and elsewhere, have had a negative impact on travel and leisure expenditures, including lodging, gaming and tourism. We cannot predict the extent to which the events of September 11, 2001 may continue to affect us, directly or indirectly, in the future. An extended period of reduced discretionary spending and/or disruptions or declines in airline travel and business conventions could significantly harm our operations. In particular, because we expect that our business will rely heavily upon high-end credit customers, particularly international customers, factors resulting in a decreased propensity to travel internationally, like the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, could have a negative impact on our operations.
In addition to fears of war and future acts of terrorism, other factors affecting discretionary consumer spending, including general economic conditions, disposable consumer income, fears of recession and consumer confidence in the economy, may negatively impact our business. Negative changes in factors affecting discretionary spending could reduce customer demand for the products and services we will offer, thus imposing practical limits on pricing and harming our operations.
Also, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have substantially affected the availability of insurance coverage for certain types of damages or occurrences. We do not have insurance coverage for occurrences of terrorist acts with respect to our Le Rêve project and any losses that could result from these acts. The lack of sufficient insurance for these types of acts could expose us to heavy losses in the event that any damages occur, directly or indirectly, as a result of terrorist attacks and have a significant negative impact on our operations.
Le Rêve will be subject to extensive state and local regulation, and licensing and gaming authorities have significant control over our operations, which could have a negative effect on our business.
The opening and operation of Le Rêve will be contingent upon our receipt and maintenance of all regulatory licenses, permits, approvals, registrations, findings of suitability, orders and authorizations. The laws, regulations and ordinances requiring these licenses,
29
permits and other approvals generally relate to the responsibility, financial stability and character of the owners and managers of gaming operations, as well as persons financially interested or involved in gaming operations. The scope of the approvals required to open and operate a facility is extensive. Failure to obtain or maintain the necessary approvals could prevent or delay the completion or opening of all or part of the facility or otherwise affect the design and features of Le Rêve. We do not currently hold any state and local licenses and related approvals necessary to conduct our planned gaming operations in Nevada and we cannot be certain that we will obtain at all, or on a timely basis, all required approvals and licenses. Failure to obtain or maintain any of the required gaming approvals and licenses could significantly impair our financial position and results of operations.
The Nevada Gaming Commission may, in its discretion, require the holder of any securities we issue, including the second mortgage notes sold pursuant to this prospectus, to file applications, be investigated and be found suitable to own Wynn Resorts' securities if it has reason to believe that the security ownership would be inconsistent with the declared policies of the State of Nevada.
Nevada regulatory authorities have broad powers to request detailed financial and other information, to limit, condition, suspend or revoke a registration, gaming license or related approval and to approve changes in our operations. Substantial fines or forfeiture of assets for violations of gaming laws or regulations may be levied. The suspension or revocation of any license which may be granted to us or the levy of substantial fines or forfeiture of assets could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, compliance costs associated with gaming laws, regulations and licenses are significant. Any change in the laws, regulations or licenses applicable to our business or a violation of any current or future laws or regulations applicable to our business or gaming license could require us to make substantial expenditures or could otherwise negatively affect our gaming operations.
Wynn Resorts' articles of incorporation provide that, to the extent a gaming authority makes a determination of unsuitability or to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the board of directors, Wynn Resorts may redeem shares of its capital stock that are owned or controlled by an unsuitable person or its affiliates. The redemption price may be paid in cash, by promissory note, or both, as required, and pursuant to the terms established by, the applicable gaming authority and, if not, as Wynn Resorts elects.
Nevada gaming regulatory issues may arise regarding the licensing of owners of Wynn Resorts, which may cause us to incur additional debt.
Kazuo Okada is the owner of a controlling interest in Aruze Corp., the parent company of Aruze USA, Inc., referred to as Aruze USA, which, before giving effect to the closing of Wynn Resorts' initial public offering, owns approximately 47.4% of Wynn Resorts' common stock. Under the Nevada gaming regulations, any beneficial owner of more than 10% of Aruze Corp.'s voting securities must be licensed or found suitable in respect of Aruze USA's ownership interest in Wynn Resorts, including Kazuo Okada and his son, Tomohiro Okada. Kazuo Okada is currently licensed by the Nevada Gaming Commission to own the shares of Universal Distributing of Nevada, Inc., referred to as Universal Distributing, a gaming machine manufacturer and distributor. Kazuo Okada and his son previously sought approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission in connection with the proposed transfer of Universal Distributing to Aruze Corp. In connection with this application, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board raised certain concerns, including transactions which were then the subject of a pending tax case in Japan which involved Universal Distributing, Aruze Corp. and other related parties. The lower court in the Japanese tax case ruled in Aruze Corp.'s favor, but the
30
Japanese tax authority has filed an appeal. It is unclear whether or how these events will affect the Nevada Gaming Commission's consideration of suitability with respect to Aruze USA's ownership of Wynn Resorts' stock.
Aruze Corp. has informed us that there are a number of outstanding issues in the Nevada State Gaming Board's investigation of the proposed transfer of Universal Distributing in addition to the issues relating to the transactions involved in the above-described tax proceeding. These issues, together with issues relating to the Japanese tax proceeding, if not satisfactorily resolved, could result in the denial of the application. No formal action of any kind has been taken by the Nevada State Gaming Control Board or the Nevada Gaming Commission in connection with these issues. The Nevada State Gaming Control Board and Aruze have agreed to defer the pursuit of the proposed transfer of Universal Distributing until or after the applications regarding Le Rêve have been acted upon. If the Nevada State Gaming Control Board or the Nevada Gaming Commission were to act adversely with respect to the pending proceeding involving Universal Distributing, that decision could adversely affect an application filed by Aruze USA, Aruze Corp., Kazuo Okada or Tomohiro Okada in respect of Wynn Resorts.
If any gaming application of Aruze USA, Aruze Corp. or Kazuo Okada concerning Aruze USA's ownership of Wynn Resorts' stock is denied by Nevada gaming authorities or requested to be withdrawn or is not filed within 90 days after the filing of Wynn Resorts' application, then, under certain circumstances, Wynn Resorts has the right to require Mr. Wynn to purchase the shares owned by Aruze USA in Wynn Resorts, including with a promissory note, or the right to purchase the shares directly with a promissory note. If Wynn Resorts is required to purchase the shares held by Aruze USA, it may have to issue a promissory note to Aruze USA. Any such debt obligation on Wynn Resorts' balance sheet may negatively affect our financial condition. See "Certain Relationships and Related TransactionsStockholders Agreement" and "Buy-Out of Aruze USA Stock."
Moreover, if the Nevada Gaming Commission were to determine that Aruze USA is unsuitable to hold a promissory note issued by Wynn Resorts or Mr. Wynn, the Nevada Gaming Commission could order Aruze USA or its affiliate to dispose of its voting securities within a prescribed period of time that may not be sufficient.
If Aruze USA or its affiliate does not dispose of its voting securities within the prescribed period of time, or if Wynn Resorts fails to pursue all lawful efforts to require Aruze USA or its affiliate to relinquish its voting securities, including, if necessary, the immediate purchase of the voting securities for cash at fair market value, the Nevada Gaming Commission could determine that Wynn Resorts was unsuitable or could take disciplinary action against Wynn Resorts. Disciplinary action could result in the limitation, conditioning, suspension or revocation of any approvals or gaming licenses held by Wynn Resorts (and, as a result, Wynn Las Vegas) and/or the imposition of a significant monetary fine against Wynn Resorts. Any such disciplinary action could significantly impair our operations.
If Wynn Macau builds and operates one or more casinos in Macau, certain Nevada gaming laws would apply to its planned gaming activities and associations in Macau.
Certain Nevada gaming laws also apply to gaming activities and associations in jurisdictions outside the State of Nevada. As Wynn Macau develops its opportunity in Macau, Wynn Resorts and its subsidiaries that are licensed to conduct gaming operations in Nevada, including Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Capital, Wynn Resorts Holdings and Valvino, will be required to comply with certain reporting requirements concerning gaming activities and associations in Macau proposed to be conducted by Wynn Resorts' Macau-related
31
subsidiaries. Wynn Resorts and its licensed Nevada subsidiaries, including Wynn Las Vegas, also will be subject to disciplinary action by the Nevada Gaming Commission if Wynn Resorts' Macau-related subsidiaries:
Such disciplinary action could include suspension, conditioning, limitation or revocation of the registration, licenses or approvals held by Wynn Resorts and its licensed Nevada subsidiaries, including Wynn Las Vegas, and the imposition of substantial fines.
Our business will rely on high-end, international customers to whom we may extend credit, and we may not be able to collect gaming receivables from our credit players.
We expect that a significant portion of our table game revenue at Le Rêve will be attributable to the play of a limited number of international customers. The loss or a reduction in the play of the most significant of these customers could have a substantial negative effect on our future operating results. A downturn in economic conditions in the countries in which these customers reside could cause a reduction in the frequency of visits and revenue generated by these customers.
We will conduct our gaming activities at Le Rêve on a credit as well as a cash basis. This credit will be unsecured. Table games players typically will be extended more credit than slot players, and high-stakes players typically will be extended more credit than patrons who tend to wager lower amounts. High-end gaming is more volatile than other forms of gaming, and variances in win-loss results attributable to high-end gaming may have a positive or negative impact on cash flow and earnings in a particular quarter.
In addition, the collectibility of receivables from international customers could be negatively affected by future business or economic trends or by significant events in the countries in which these customers reside. We will extend credit to those customers whose level of play and financial resources warrant, in the opinion of management, an extension of credit.
While gaming debts evidenced by a credit instrument, including what is commonly referred to as a "marker," and judgments on gaming debts are enforceable under the current laws of Nevada, and judgments on gaming debts are enforceable in all states under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution, other jurisdictions may determine that direct enforcement of gaming debts is against public policy. Although courts of some foreign nations will enforce gaming debts directly and the assets in the United States of foreign debtors may be reached to satisfy a judgment, judgments on gaming debts from U.S. courts are not binding on the courts of many foreign nations. We cannot assure you that we
32
will be able to collect the full amount of gaming debts owed to us, even in jurisdictions that enforce gaming debts. Our inability to collect gaming debts could have a significant negative impact on our operating results.
Because we own real property, we are subject to extensive environmental regulation, which creates uncertainty regarding future environmental expenditures and liabilities.
We have incurred costs and expended funds to comply with environmental requirements, such as those relating to discharges to air, water and land, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste and the cleanup of properties affected by hazardous substances. Under these and other environmental requirements, we, as the owner of the property on which Le Rêve is situated, may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or chemical releases at that property. As an owner or operator, we could also be held responsible to a governmental entity or third parties for property damage, personal injury and investigation and cleanup costs incurred by them in connection with any contamination.
These laws typically impose cleanup responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants. The liability under those laws has been interpreted to be joint and several unless the harm is divisible and there is a reasonable basis for allocation of the responsibility. The costs of investigation, remediation or removal of those substances may be substantial, and the presence of those substances, or the failure to remediate a property properly, may impair our ability to rent or otherwise use our property.
We believe that we have remediated all material environmental risks of which we are currently aware at the Le Rêve hotel site and on the existing golf course. However, in connection with constructing the new golf course, which will require significant grading, we may discover unforeseen environmental risks which we will need to incur costs to remediate. In addition, we will incur costs associated with asbestos removal from an existing office building in the event we decide to develop the 20-acre parcel of land located north of Le Rêve along Las Vegas Boulevard that will be available for future development should it be released from the liens under the credit facilities and the second mortgage notes. We may be required to incur costs to remediate these or other potential environmental hazards or to mitigate environmental risks.
If a third party successfully challenges our ownership of, or right to use, the Le Rêve service marks with respect to casino or hotel services, our business or results of operations could be harmed.
We have applied to register the "LE RÊVE" service mark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, referred to as the PTO, for casino and hotel services, as well as for other ancillary uses. Our application for hotel services has cleared the PTO examination process, meaning that "LE RÊVE" will be registered for hotel and other related services if no member of the public formally opposes our application for registration by a published deadline. Our application for casino services remains pending, and we expect it to be published for opposition soon.
Even if we are able to obtain registration of the "LE RÊVE" mark for the above described services, such federal registration is not completely dispositive of the right to such service marks. Third parties who claim prior rights with respect to marks similar to "LE RÊVE" or the English translation "THE DREAM," may nonetheless challenge our use of "LE RÊVE" and seek to overcome the presumptions afforded by such registrations. They also could attempt to prevent our use of "LE RÊVE" and/or seek monetary damages as a result of our use. A
33
successful challenge by a third party with respect to our ownership of, or right to use, the mark could have a material impact on our business or results of operation.
We will need to recruit a substantial number of new employees before Le Rêve opens and our employees may seek unionization.
We will need to recruit a substantial number of new employees before Le Rêve opens and our employees may seek union representation. We cannot be certain that we will be able to recruit a sufficient number of qualified employees. Currently, Valvino is a party to collective bargaining agreements with several different unions, which it assumed in connection with the acquisition of the Desert Inn Resort & Casino. All of these agreements will expire before the scheduled opening of Le Rêve. However, the unions may seek to organize the workers at Le Rêve or claim that the agreements assumed in connection with Valvino's acquisition of the Desert Inn Resort & Casino obligate Wynn Las Vegas to enter into negotiations with one or more of the unions to represent the workers at Le Rêve. Unionization, pressure to unionize or other forms of collective bargaining could increase our labor costs.
Certain of Wynn Las Vegas' affiliates will be subject to regulatory control by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada.
Desert Inn Improvement Co., a direct subsidiary of Desert Inn Water Company and an indirect subsidiary of Valvino, provides water service to the existing office building on the site of the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino and the remaining homes around the Desert Inn golf course. As a result of its service obligations to the remaining homes, Desert Inn Improvement Co. is a public utility under Nevada law and will be subject to typical public utility regulation. For example, if Desert Inn Improvement Co. desires to change its filed rates or tariffs or encumber, sell or lease its real property, it will likely be required to obtain the prior approval of the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada. The public utility status of Desert Inn Improvement Co. also imposes broader regulatory restrictions on us. For example, if Wynn Resorts decides to make changes to our or its ownership structure, such as in a merger or acquisition transaction or a significant stock issuance, or a sale of Aruze USA's shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock in the event that Aruze USA is found to be unsuitable to own such stock, Wynn Resorts will likely be required to obtain the prior approval of the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada. We cannot assure you that any such approvals will be obtained. Further, with respect to any other changes or transactions which we may enter into in the future, we cannot assure you that regulatory requirements will not delay or prevent us from entering into transactions or conducting our business in a manner that might be beneficial to our operations.
The Le Rêve golf course land may be subject to restrictions which could prevent us from constructing the new golf course in accordance with our current plans and may inhibit future development of that land.
We intend to construct the new golf course on an approximately 137-acre parcel of land located behind the hotel. Valvino acquired a portion of this parcel in connection with its purchase of the Desert Inn Resort & Casino and acquired the remainder when it purchased the residential lots located in the interior of, and some, but not all, of the lots around the former Desert Inn golf course. The residential lots, previously known as the Desert Inn Country Club Estates, were subject to various conditions, covenants and restrictions recorded against the lots in 1956 and amended from time to time since then. We believe that these conditions, covenants and restrictions were terminated in accordance with Nevada law in June 2001. However, some of the remaining homeowners have brought a lawsuit against Valvino challenging, among other things, the termination of the covenants, conditions and restrictions. If the plaintiffs prevail on their claims and the conditions, covenants and restrictions remain in effect, we may have to adjust our current plans for the construction of the golf course by redesigning some of the holes located on the periphery of the course.
34
In addition, at least two of the homeowners have alleged the existence of an equitable implied restriction prohibiting any alternative commercial development of the golf course. If the plaintiffs prevail on this claim, any future development of the golf course parcel for an alternative use may be restricted. Valvino is vigorously contesting the homeowners' claims and will continue to do so. See "BusinessLegal Proceedings."
A downturn in general economic conditions may adversely affect our results of operations.
Our business operations will be affected by international, national and local economic conditions. A recession or downturn in the general economy, or in a region constituting a significant source of customers for our property, could result in fewer customers visiting our property, which would adversely affect our revenues.
Risks Related to the Offering and the Second Mortgage Notes
The liens securing the indebtedness under the credit facilities and FF&E facility generally will be senior to the liens securing the second mortgage notes.
The second mortgage notes will be secured by:
The lenders under our credit facilities will have first priority liens on substantially all of our assets. The lenders under our FF&E facility will have first priority liens on furniture, fixtures and equipment, including assets that are integral to the operation of Le Rêve, such as elevators, escalators, heating, vacuum and air conditioning equipment and gaming equipment.
Because Wynn Macau and the Macau-related subsidiaries of Wynn Resorts are owned by Wynn Resorts, which is not a guarantor of the second mortgage notes, the assets consisting of Wynn Resorts' Macau project(s) will not be included in the collateral. The second mortgage notes will not be secured by the aircraft assets.
Because the liens securing the indebtedness under the credit facilities will generally be prior to the liens securing the second mortgage notes, the second mortgage notes will be effectively subordinated to the indebtedness under our $1.0 billion credit facilities. In addition, the liens on the collateral securing our $188.5 million FF&E facility will be prior to the liens securing the credit facilities and the second mortgage notes upon the FF&E collateral. We will also be permitted, under the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, to incur additional indebtedness, which may increase the amount of our credit facilities or FF&E facility. The indenture also will permit our unrestricted subsidiaries to incur debt, without limitation, provided certain conditions are met, which indebtedness will be structurally senior to the second mortgage notes, as we only have a claim against the equity in our subsidiaries, and not against their assets. See "Description of the Second Mortgage Notes Security Interests."
The liens granted by the guarantors to secure their guarantees of the credit facilities will also be senior to the liens securing the second mortgage note guarantees, and, therefore, the second mortgage note guarantees will also be effectively subordinated to the guarantees of
35
the indebtedness under the credit facilities and all of our guarantors' other senior indebtedness secured by higher priority liens.
If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay both the higher priority creditors and the holders of the second mortgage notes.
The value of the collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. We cannot assure you that the proceeds from the sale or sales of all of such collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the amounts outstanding under the second mortgage notes and other obligations secured by the junior liens, if any, after payment in full of all of the obligations secured by the higher priority liens on the collateral. If these proceeds were not sufficient to repay amounts outstanding under the notes, then holders of the second mortgage notes, to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the collateral, would only have unsecured claims against our remaining assets, which claims would rank equally with all of our general unsecured indebtedness and obligations, including trade payables.
At the completion of Le Rêve, we expect to have approximately $713.2 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, $250 million outstanding under the delay draw term loan facility and $188.5 million outstanding under the FF&E facility. We also expect to have at such time approximately $36.8 million of borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility. Under the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, we will be permitted to incur additional indebtedness that is secured by first priority liens on the second mortgage note collateral.
Our intercreditor agreements will limit the ability of the holders of the second mortgage notes to control decisions regarding the collateral and to take enforcement action.
The trustee under the indenture governing the second mortgage notes will enter into a project lenders intercreditor agreement with the agent for the lenders under the credit facilities and an FF&E intercreditor agreement with the agent for the lenders under the credit facilities and the agent for lenders under the FF&E facility. The intercreditor agreements will provide for the allocation of rights among the trustee and these lenders with respect to their respective interests in the collateral and the enforcement of their rights. Until the indebtedness under the credit facilities, including any refinancings, has been satisfied in full, the lenders under the credit facilities will have the exclusive right to determine the circumstances and manner in which the collateral securing the second mortgage notes and the credit facilities may be disposed of subject, in the case of the FF&E collateral, to the rights of the lenders under the FF&E facility. Similarly, until the indebtedness under the FF&E facility, including any refinancing, has been satisfied in full, the lenders under the FF&E facility will have the exclusive rights to determine the circumstances and manner in which the collateral that secures the FF&E facility, the credit facilities and the second mortgage notes may be disposed. As a result, the lenders under the credit facilities may take actions with respect to the collateral securing the second mortgage notes which holders of the second mortgage notes may disagree with or which may be contrary to the best interests of the holders of the second mortgage notes. In addition:
36
second mortgage notes, in each case, to the detriment of the holders of second mortgage notes;
In addition, pursuant to the intercreditor agreements, the trustee will agree not to object to a number of important matters and actions taken by the lenders under our credit facilities and the FF&E facility following the filing of a bankruptcy petition. After such filing, the value of your collateral could materially deteriorate, and you would be unable to raise an objection. See "Intercreditor Agreements."
The lenders under the FF&E facility will similarly have the right, without the consent of the second mortgage note holders, to waive conditions to funding under the FF&E facility and to exercise, or not exercise, any remedies with respect to the furniture, fixtures and equipment securing the FF&E facility in such manner and upon such terms as the lenders under the FF&E facility determine.
The intercreditor agreements will also permit the lenders under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility to make advances under their respective loan facilities to protect, preserve, repair and maintain Le Rêve and their respective security interests. Any advanced amounts will be included in the amounts secured by the liens in favor of an advancing lender with the same priority as regular advances made by the lender under the disbursement agreement. Although these provisions may cause these lenders to make advances which otherwise might not be made and thus facilitate completion of Le Rêve to the benefit of the holders of the second mortgage notes, these advances also could increase both the periodic amounts payable on our secured indebtedness and the amounts secured by claims effectively senior the claims of the second mortgage note holders.
Under the intercreditor agreements, so long as the credit facilities and the FF&E facility remain outstanding, the holders of the second mortgage notes will be restrained from exercising their remedies following a default. As such, the lenders under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility will be permitted to exercise their remedies and foreclose their respective liens on the note collateral before holders of the second mortgage notes could enforce their liens. We cannot assure you that any proceeds of foreclosure sales would be sufficient to make any payments on the second mortgage notes after repaying in full the credit facilities and the FF&E facility.
Gaming laws will impose additional restrictions on foreclosure.
As a result of gaming restrictions, in any foreclosure sale of Le Rêve or the gaming equipment constituting collateral securing the second mortgage notes, the purchaser or the operator of the facility and/or such gaming equipment would need to be licensed to operate the resort's casino under the Nevada gaming laws and regulations. If the trustee acting on behalf of the holders of the second mortgage notes or the lenders under the credit facilities or the FF&E facility purchases Le Rêve and/or such equipment at a foreclosure sale, the trustee or such lenders would not be permitted to continue gaming operations at Le Rêve unless it retained an entity licensed under the Nevada gaming laws to conduct gaming operations at
37
the facility. The holders of the second mortgage notes may have to be licensed or found suitable in any event.
Because potential bidders who wish to operate the casino must satisfy these gaming regulatory requirements, the number of potential bidders in a foreclosure sale could be less than in foreclosures of other types of facilities, and this requirement may delay the sale of, and may reduce the sales price for, the collateral. The ability to take possession and dispose of the collateral securing the second mortgage notes upon acceleration of the second mortgage notes is likely to be significantly impaired or delayed by applicable bankruptcy law if a bankruptcy case is commenced by or against us prior to a taking of possession or disposition of the collateral securing the second mortgage notes by the trustee for the benefit of the holders of the second mortgage notes.
The Public Utilities Commission of Nevada will impose additional restrictions on foreclosure.
As a result of restrictions under Nevada law relating to public utilities, it is likely that the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada would first need to approve any action to take possession of and foreclose upon or otherwise dispose of assets that serve as collateral consisting of real property or goods held by Desert Inn Improvement Co., including, without limitation, water rights. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain this approval.
The liens encumbering the collateral securing the second mortgage notes may be eliminated if the liens securing the credit facilities or, in the case of the collateral securing the FF&E facility, the liens securing the FF&E facility, are foreclosed first.
Pursuant to the intercreditor agreements, the lenders under our credit facilities are permitted to foreclose on the liens securing such facilities before the second mortgage notes holders. Similarly, the lenders under our FF&E facility are permitted to foreclose on the liens securing such facility before the second mortgage note holders. If the liens securing the credit facilities are foreclosed before the liens securing the second mortgage notes, the liens securing the second mortgage notes on the foreclosed collateral will be terminated. Similarly, if the liens securing the FF&E facility are foreclosed before the liens securing the second mortgage notes, the liens securing the second mortgage notes on the furniture, fixtures and equipment that secures the FF&E facility will be terminated. To prevent foreclosure, we may be motivated to commence voluntary bankruptcy proceedings, or the holders of the second mortgage notes and/or various other interested persons may be motivated to institute bankruptcy proceedings against us. The commencement of such bankruptcy proceedings would expose the holders of the second mortgage notes to additional risks, including additional restrictions on exercising rights against collateral. See "Bankruptcy laws may significantly impair your rights to repossess and dispose of collateral securing the second mortgage notes." The second mortgage notes trustee will agree not to challenge the validity, enforceability or priority of liens on any collateral granted to any lender that is a party to the disbursement agreement. See "Disbursement Agreement" and "Intercreditor Agreements."
Because we have multiple lenders, holders of the second mortgage notes may be disadvantaged by actions taken by one or more of our other lenders.
Multiple parties will be providing financing for the construction and development of Le Rêve, including the lenders under the credit facilities and under the FF&E facility and the holders of the second mortgage notes. Our lenders will enter into agreements, including the disbursement agreement and the intercreditor agreements, to govern the relationships among them. These agreements may limit the rights of the second mortgage note holders.
38
For example, under the disbursement agreement, the construction consultant engaged by the lenders will review disbursement requests and other matters under the disbursement agreement to assess compliance or non-compliance with the requirements under the disbursement agreement. Accordingly, such construction consultant will be making judgments from time to time which will affect, and may impair, the interests of the holders of the second mortgage notes.
Subject to specified conditions, the disbursement agreement will also require each lender to fund its proportionate share of each disbursement. However, we cannot assure you that each lender will always perform its obligations under the disbursement agreement. If any lender fails to fund its share of the amounts to be advanced under the disbursement agreement, we may not have sufficient funds to complete Le Rêve.
Further, given that we are required to expend all of the proceeds of the second mortgage notes before obtaining any loans under the credit facilities or the FF&E facility, the second mortgage note holders would be fully exposed if, at any time, the lenders under our credit facilities or under our FF&E facility failed to fund as required under the disbursement agreement.
In addition, financing by multiple lenders with security interests in common collateral or collateral that is interrelated by use or location may increase complexity and reduce flexibility in a debt restructuring of our indebtedness. In particular, the FF&E lenders will have control of assets that are required for the ordinary course operations of Le Rêve. Thus, notwithstanding the relatively small portion of Le Rêve's indebtedness that will be held by the FF&E lenders, upon the occurrence of a default under the FF&E facility, the FF&E lenders may be able to prevent Le Rêve from operating. However, the lenders under the FF&E facility will agree in the intercreditor agreement with the lenders under our credit facilities and the holders of the second mortgage notes, subject to specified limitations, upon default under such facility, not to exercise remedies for a period of up to 60 days before completion of Le Rêve or 45 days after completion of Le Rêve. However, we cannot assure you that the lenders under the FF&E facility will respect such obligations or, even if they do respect such obligations, that such standstill period will be sufficient to restructure our indebtedness
We may not be able to fulfill our repurchase obligations with respect to the second mortgage notes upon a change of control.
If we experience certain specific change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding second mortgage notes at 101% of the principal amount of the second mortgage notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. We cannot assure you that we will have available funds sufficient to pay the change of control purchase price for any or all of the second mortgage notes that might be delivered by holders of the second mortgage notes seeking to accept the change of control offer. Moreover, under the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, certain important corporate events, such as leveraged recapitalizations that would increase the level of our indebtedness, would not constitute a "change of control" and thus would not give rise to any repurchase rights. See "Description of the Second Mortgage NotesRepurchase at the Option of HoldersChange of Control" and "Description of Other IndebtednessCredit Facilities."
In addition, the credit facilities will contain, and any future credit agreement likely will contain, restrictions or prohibitions on our ability to repurchase the second mortgage notes under certain circumstances. If these change of control events occur at a time when we are prohibited from repurchasing the second mortgage notes, we may seek the consent of our lenders to purchase the second mortgage notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings
39
that contain these prohibitions or restrictions. If we do not obtain our lenders' consent or refinance these borrowings, we will not be able to repurchase the second mortgage notes. Accordingly, the holders of the second mortgage notes may not receive the change of control purchase price for their second mortgage notes in the event of a sale or other change of control, which will give the trustee and the holders of the second mortgage notes the right to declare an event of default and accelerate the repayment of the second mortgage notes. Please see "Description of the Second Mortgage NotesEvents of Default."
Bankruptcy laws may significantly impair your rights to repossess and dispose of collateral securing the second mortgage notes.
If a bankruptcy case were to be commenced by or against us prior to the repossession and disposition of note collateral, the right of the indenture trustee to repossess and dispose of the note collateral upon the occurrence of an event of default under the indenture is likely to be significantly impaired by applicable bankruptcy law. A bankruptcy case may be commenced by us, a holder of second mortgage notes, the lenders under the credit facilities or the FF&E facility or any other creditors, including junior creditors.
The "automatic stay" under applicable bankruptcy law prohibits secured creditors, such as the holders of the second mortgage notes and the lenders under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility, from repossessing their security from a debtor in a bankruptcy case, or from disposing of collateral in their possession, without bankruptcy court approval. Moreover, applicable bankruptcy law permits the debtor to continue to retain and use the collateral even though the debtor is in default under the applicable debt instruments, provided that the secured creditor is given "adequate protection."
The meaning of the term "adequate protection" may vary according to circumstances, but it is generally intended to protect the value of the secured creditor's interest in the collateral from diminution as a result of the stay of repossession or disposition or any use of the collateral by the debtor during the pendency of the bankruptcy case. "Adequate protection" may include cash payments or the granting of additional security, of such type, at such time and in such amount as the court may determine. For example, the debtor could be permitted use the funds in the second mortgage notes proceeds account as cash collateral if the debtor provided adequate protection for such use by granting replacement liens on other collateral, which might not consist of liquid assets.
In view of the lack of a precise definition of the term "adequate protection," the broad discretionary powers of a bankruptcy court and the possible complexity of valuation issues, it is impossible to predict how long payments under the second mortgage notes could be delayed following commencement of a bankruptcy case, whether or when the trustee could repossess or dispose of the collateral or whether or to what extent, through the requirement of "adequate protection," the holders of the second mortgage notes would be compensated for any delay in payment or loss of value of the collateral.
Factors that might bear on the recovery by the holders of the second mortgage notes in these circumstances, among others, would include:
40
In addition, pursuant to the intercreditor agreements, the trustee has agreed not to object to a number of important matters and actions taken by the lenders under our credit facilities and the FF&E facility following the filing of a bankruptcy petition. After such filing, the value of your collateral could materially deteriorate, and you would be unable to raise an objection. The agreements of the trustee include that the trustee and the second mortgage note holders will not assert the lack of adequate protection of their liens and the collateral securing the second mortgage notes as a basis for approving a motion or other relief approved by the lenders under the credit facilities. See "Intercreditor Agreements."
Contract rights under agreements serving as collateral for the second mortgage notes may be rejected in bankruptcy.
Among other things, contract rights under certain of our agreements serve as collateral for the second mortgage notes, including rights that stem from the agreements to which we are a party, such as the Marnell Corrao construction contract. If a bankruptcy case were to be commenced by or against Marnell Corrao, it is possible that all or part of the Marnell Corrao construction contract could be rejected by that party or a trustee appointed in the bankruptcy case pursuant to Section 365 or Section 1123 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and thus not be specifically enforceable. Additionally, to the extent any rejected agreement constitutes a lease of real property, the resulting claim of the lessor for damages resulting from termination may be capped pursuant to Section 502(b)(6) of the bankruptcy code.
In addition, in a bankruptcy proceeding, the court would have broad discretion to approve transactions that could disadvantage the holders of the second mortgage notes. For example, under certain circumstances, a court could approve our or third parties' motions for sales of collateral on terms unfavorable to us, require you to accept subordinated or other securities in exchange for the second mortgage notes, or substantive consolidation of us with Wynn Resorts in a bankruptcy in which Wynn Resorts was debtor. Regardless of the ultimate disposition of any of these or other motions or claims, we cannot assure you that during litigation of these issues our payments on the second mortgage notes would be paid in full or on time.
In the event that a bankruptcy court orders the substantive consolidation of Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Capital with certain affiliated parties, payments on the second mortgage notes could be delayed or reduced.
Although we believe that we have observed and will observe certain formalities and operating procedures that are generally recognized requirements for maintaining the separate existence of the issuers and that the issuers' assets and liabilities can be readily identified as distinct from those of Wynn Resorts, Valvino and their respective subsidiaries other than Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Capital, we cannot assure you that a bankruptcy court would agree in the event that any of Wynn Resorts, Valvino or any such other affiliates becomes a debtor under the bankruptcy code. If a bankruptcy court concludes that substantive consolidation of Wynn Las Vegas or Wynn Capital with any affiliated party referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph is warranted, the risks described above under "Bankruptcy laws may significantly impair your rights to repossess and dispose of collateral securing the second mortgage notes" would apply as a result of such bankruptcy filing, notwithstanding that Wynn Las Vegas is successfully operating Le Rêve and is able to pay its obligations as they become due. If substantive consolidation is ordered, payments on the second mortgage notes could be delayed or reduced.

If the lenders under the credit facilities release their security interests in the Phase II land or in some portions of the golf course land, the second mortgage note holders' security interests in that land will be automatically released. The interests of the lenders may be different than those of the second mortgage note holders.
The liens securing the second mortgage notes in the Phase II land and in certain portions of the golf course land will be automatically released if the lenders under the credit facilities release their first priority liens on the Phase II land or those portions of the golf course land. Although the credit facilities will specify earnings tests that need to be satisfied before the lenders can release their liens in that collateral, the lenders under the credit facilities will be free to amend or waive those tests at any time. The interests of the lenders may be different than those of the second mortgage note holders, and investors should not rely on the lenders to act in the note holders' interests.
If earnings or leverage and ratings tests specified in the second mortgage notes indenture are met, the note holders' liens on some of the real property collateral will be released.
The liens on all of the golf course land and the related water rights will be released after the third anniversary of commencing operations at Le Reve if we achieve a ratio of total debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of 3.0 to 1.0 or less and if the indebtedness under our credit facilities is rated BB+ or higher by Standard & Poor's and Ba1 or higher by Moody's Investors Service both before and after giving effect to the release of those liens.
The security interests in two acres of the golf course land will be released to allow the construction of a home for Mr. Wynn if the purchase price paid by Mr. Wynn is at least equal to the fair market value of that land, the sale proceeds are contributed by Wynn Resorts Holdings to Wynn Las Vegas as a capital contribution, and the construction of Mr. Wynn's home will not interfere with the design, construction, operation or use of the remainder of the golf course land as a golf course.
Once the security interests in the Phase II land, the golf course land and the related water rights are released, the note holders will have only a second priority lien on the assets comprising the hotel and casino and the equity interests of the restricted subsidiaries of Valvino, and a third priority lien on the FF&E facility collateral. See "Risks Related to Our Substantial IndebtednessThe second mortgage notes will have a junior lien on a substantial portion of our assets, and will have no liens on certain assets."
Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to avoid guarantees and the liens securing the guarantees and to require second mortgage note holders to return payments received from us or the guarantors.
Our creditors or the creditors of our guarantors could challenge the second mortgage note guarantees and the liens securing those guarantees as fraudulent conveyances or on other grounds. Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, the delivery of the guarantees and the grant of the second priority liens securing the guarantees could be avoided as fraudulent transfers if a court determined that the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee or granted its lien:
42
If the guarantees were avoided or limited under fraudulent transfer or other laws, any claim you may make against us for amounts payable on the second mortgage notes would be effectively subordinated to all of the indebtedness and other obligations of our guarantors, including trade payables and any subordinated indebtedness. If the granting of liens to secure the guarantees were avoided or limited under fraudulent transfer or other laws, the guarantees would become unsecured claims to the extent of the avoidance or limitation, ranking equally with all general unsecured claims of the guarantors.
The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:
We cannot be sure what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or, regardless of the standard, that a court would not avoid the guarantees or that any guarantee would not be subordinated to a guarantor's other indebtedness.
Any additional guarantees or liens on collateral provided after the second mortgage notes are issued could also be avoided as preferential transfers.
The second mortgage notes indenture will provide that certain future restricted subsidiaries will guarantee the second mortgage notes and secure their guarantees with liens on their assets. The second mortgage notes indenture will also require us to grant liens on certain assets that we and the existing guarantors acquire after the second mortgage notes are issued. If any new guarantor, or any issuer or guarantor providing new collateral for the second mortgage notes, is insolvent or anticipates insolvency at the time the guarantee or lien is granted, the guarantee or lien, as applicable, could be avoided as a preferential transfer.
We are permitted to create unrestricted subsidiaries, which generally will not be subject to any of the covenants in the indenture, and we may not be able to rely on the cash flow or assets of those unrestricted subsidiaries to pay our indebtedness.
Unrestricted subsidiaries will generally not be subject to the covenants under the second mortgage notes indenture, and their assets will not be available as security for the second mortgage notes. Unrestricted subsidiaries may enter into financing arrangements that limit their ability to make loans or other payments to fund payments in respect of the second
43
mortgage notes. Accordingly, we may not be able to rely on the cash flow or assets of unrestricted subsidiaries to pay any of our indebtedness, including the second mortgage notes.
The collateral securing the second mortgage notes includes real property and, as a result, holders of the second mortgage notes may be subject to certain environmental risks.
Real property pledged as security may be subject to known and unknown environmental risks or liabilities which can adversely affect the property's value. In addition, under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, referred to as CERCLA, a secured lender may be held liable, in certain limited circumstances, for the costs of remediating a release of, or preventing a threatened release of, hazardous substances at a mortgaged property. There may be similar risks under state laws or common law theories.
Under CERCLA, a person "who, without participating in the management of a ... facility, holds indicia of ownership primarily to protect his security interest" is not a property owner, and thus not a responsible person under CERCLA. Lenders seldom have been held liable under CERCLA. The lenders who have been found liable generally have been found to have been sufficiently involved in the mortgagor's operations so that they have "participated in the management of the borrower." CERCLA does not specify the level of actual participation in management. CERCLA was amended in 1996 to provide certain "safe harbors" for foreclosing lenders. However, the courts have not yet issued any definitive interpretations of the extent of these safe harbors. There currently is no controlling authority on this matter.
There is no public market for the second mortgage notes, and we cannot assure you that a market for the second mortgage notes will develop.
The second mortgage notes are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no active trading market. We do not intend to file an application to have the second mortgage notes listed on any securities exchange or included for quotation on any automated dealer quotation system. Although the underwriters have informed us that they intend to make a market in the second mortgage notes as over-the-counter securities that are not traded on an exchange, they have no obligation to do so and may discontinue their market-making activity at any time without notice.
If any of the second mortgage notes are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities and other factors, including general economic conditions, our financial condition, performance and prospects and prospects for companies in our industry generally. In addition, the liquidity of the trading market in the second mortgage notes and the market prices quoted for the second mortgage notes may be negatively affected by changes in the overall market for high-yield securities. As a result, we cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop for the second mortgage notes.
The officers, directors and substantial stockholders of Wynn Resorts may be able to exert significant control over its and our future direction.
Wynn Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas. Wynn Las Vegas is a Nevada limited liability company, the sole member of which is Wynn Resorts Holdings. Valvino is the sole member of Wynn Resorts Holdings and Wynn Resorts is the sole member of Valvino. As a result, Wynn Resorts, through its subsidiaries, controls Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Capital.
44
After this offering and the offering of Wynn Resorts' common stock, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA will each own approximately 31.4% of Wynn Resorts' outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA, to the extent they vote their shares in a similar manner, effectively will be able to control all matters requiring Wynn Resorts' stockholders' approval, including the approval of significant corporate transactions.
In addition, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA, together with Baron Asset Fund, have entered into a stockholders agreement. Under the stockholders agreement, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA have agreed to vote their shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock for a slate of directors, a majority of which will be designated by Mr. Wynn, of which at least two will be independent directors, and the remaining members of which will be designated by Aruze USA. As a result of this voting arrangement, Mr. Wynn will, as a practical matter, control Wynn Resorts' board of directors. The stockholders agreement will continue to be in effect after the completion of this offering. For more information about the stockholders agreement between Mr. Wynn, Aruze USA and Baron Asset Fund, see "Certain Relationships and Related Party TransactionsStockholders Agreement."
We may redeem your second mortgage notes due to regulatory considerations, either as required by gaming authorities or in our discretion.
The indenture will grant us the power to redeem the second mortgage notes that you own or control if any governmental gaming authority requires you, or a beneficial owner of the second mortgage notes, to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable gaming law and:
Under the foregoing circumstances, under the indenture, we will be able to redeem, and if required by the applicable gaming authority, we must redeem, your second mortgage notes to the extent required by the gaming authority or deemed necessary or advisable by us. The redemption price will be, in each case, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the second mortgage note, equal to:

We expect to receive approximately $326.0 million in net proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
Concurrent with the consummation of this offering:
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with equity contributions from Wynn Resorts' initial public offering proceeds and Valvino's existing cash on hand, and borrowings under the revolving credit facility, delay draw term loan facility and FF&E facility to design, develop, construct, equip and open Le Rêve. None of the proceeds of this offering will be used to fund the construction and development of Wynn Macau's casinos in Macau. The disbursement agreement will require that project costs be funded first from contributions to us from Wynn Resorts, then from the net proceeds of this offering and then from the other debt facilities. We expect to begin to request disbursements of the second mortgage note proceeds, subject to satisfaction of the conditions in the disbursement agreement, approximately ten to twelve months after the consummation of this offering.
The net proceeds of this offering will be deposited in a secured account pending disbursement. The funds in the secured account will be invested at our discretion only in cash, cash equivalents and certain permitted investments. The trustee under the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, for the benefit of the holders of the second mortgage notes, will have a first priority security interest in the net proceeds held in the secured account.
We expect that the funds provided by these sources and available cash will be sufficient to design, develop, construct, equip and open Le Rêve and to pay interest on borrowings under the credit facilities, the FF&E facility and the second mortgage notes until the scheduled opening of Le Rêve, assuming there are no significant delay costs or construction cost overruns for which we are responsible. We believe that the construction budget for Le Rêve is reasonable, but given the risks inherent in the construction process, it is possible that the costs of developing and constructing Le Rêve could be significantly higher. See "Risk FactorsRisks Associated with Our Construction of Le Rêve," "Risks Related to Our Substantial Indebtedness," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and our financial statements and the accompanying notes.
The net proceeds from this offering will be used to fund the initial phases of construction, including contractor monthly payment applications, design fees and operational payroll.
48
The following table sets forth estimated sources and uses by Wynn Las Vegas and the guarantor entities, of funds to design, develop, construct, equip and open Le Rêve and for other operations related primarily to the Le Rêve project. The table includes all sources and uses of funds since the inception of Valvino and its subsidiaries. The table assumes that the financing transactions, including this offering, closed on October 1, 2002. For purposes of calculating total construction costs, the revolving credit facility balance and interest and commitment fees, this table also includes certain final construction cost payments that we assume will be made after the opening of Le Rêve.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS OF WYNN RESORTS
Wynn Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas. Wynn Las Vegas is a Nevada limited liability company, the sole member of which is Wynn Resorts Holdings. Valvino is the sole member of Wynn Resorts Holdings, and Wynn Resorts is the sole member of Valvino. As a result, Wynn Resorts, through its subsidiaries, controls Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Capital.
Stephen A. Wynn. Mr. Wynn has more than thirty years of experience in the gaming, hotel and tourism industries as a designer, developer and operator of hotel casino resorts. From 1973 until 2000, Mr. Wynn served as the Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirage Resorts and its predecessor. During his tenure, he led the design and development of the following hotel casino resort properties: Bellagio, The Mirage, Treasure Island at The Mirage, Atlantic City Golden Nugget and Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi. Mr. Wynn also worked to redesign and expand several other hotel casino resort properties, such as the Golden NuggetLas Vegas and the Golden NuggetLaughlin. The public filings and press releases of Mirage Resorts and MGM Mirage report that in fiscal year 1999, the last full year of Mr. Wynn's tenure with Mirage Resorts, the company had grown to own and operate eight hotel casino resort properties totaling 630,000 square feet of casino gaming space and 16,577 hotel rooms that generated approximately $2.4 billion in revenue, $573 million in earnings before depreciation, interest, taxes and pre-opening costs and $110.4 million in net income.
The hotel casino resorts created by Mirage Resorts during Mr. Wynn's tenure are each marked by unique features. In 1989, Mr. Wynn oversaw the creation of the first mega-resort in Las Vegas with the introduction of The Mirage. The Mirage is based on a South Seas theme and features a 54 foot "active" volcano, a dolphin habitat and an illusionist show performed by Siegfried and Roy. The Caribbean-inspired Treasure Island at The Mirage, built in 1993, features a pirate village with full-scale replicas of a pirate ship and British frigate, which engage in a special effects battle. Bellagio, a European-style luxury resort completed in 1998, is marked by its eight-acre lake of dancing fountains inspired by Lake Como of Northern Italy, as well as the show "O" produced and performed by the Cirque du Soleil organization.
Under Mr. Wynn, Mirage Resorts was ranked as the second most admired company in the United States in the March 3, 1997 issue of Fortune magazine. In that issue, Fortune magazine also ranked Mirage Resorts as the fourth best company in the United States in quality of management. During Mr. Wynn's tenure, Mirage Resorts was successful in attracting and retaining top quality employees; Mirage Resorts grew to approximately 30,000 employees by 2000. In 2000, Mirage Resorts was sold to MGM Grand, Inc. for approximately $6.4 billion.
Aruze USA. Aruze USA, a Nevada corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aruze Corp., a Japanese manufacturer of pachislot and pachinko machines and video game software. As of October 18, 2002, Aruze Corp. had a market capitalization of approximately ¥144 billion, or approximately $1.1 billion. Kazuo Okada, who founded Aruze Corp. in 1969, now holds a controlling interest in Aruze Corp. and serves as its president. Aruze Corp. is a Japanese corporation traded on the JASDAQ system (NASDAQ Japan). After beginning his career in the juke box and pachinko machine businesses, Mr. Okada continued his business pursuits in the gaming machine manufacturing industry and is credited with creating the pachislot machine. Unlike a typical slot machine, where the reels stop on their own after the player pulls the machine's "arm" to start the rotation of the reels, a pachislot machine player stops each individual reel by pushing a button in front of that reel. The pachislot machine has grown to be very popular in Japan. To date, Aruze Corp. has sold more than 1 million pachislot machine units. Aruze Corp. is now the largest manufacturer of pachislot machines in
52
Japan and holds a significant share of Japan's pachislot machine market in terms of annual sales.
Baron Asset Fund. Baron Asset Fund, a Massachusetts business trust, is comprised of four fund series, each of which is a publicly traded registered mutual fund managed by BAMCO, Inc., a New York corporation. Together, these fund series hold total assets equal to almost $4.1 billion. Baron Asset Fund holds shares of Wynn Resorts on behalf of two of the fund series: the Baron Asset Fund Series and the Baron Growth Fund Series. Ron Baron is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Baron Asset Fund and BAMCO.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.
As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying financial statements as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the year ended December 31, 2001 and the periods from inception to December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2002, have been restated. The following discussion gives effect to the restated amounts.
Introduction
We have included the financial statements of Valvino in this prospectus. In September 2002, Wynn Resorts, an entity formed in June 2002, became the parent entity of Valvino when all of the members of Valvino contributed 100% of the membership interests (210,834 shares) to Wynn Resorts in exchange for 40,000,000 shares of Wynn Resorts common stock. Valvino has had no significant operations to date. In June 2000, Valvino acquired the Desert Inn Resort & Casino assets from Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. Valvino ceased operating the Desert Inn Resort & Casino after approximately ten weeks. Valvino has demolished some of the buildings constituting the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino hotel in anticipation of the construction of Le Rêve. The remaining structures have been and will continue to be utilized as offices at least through the completion of Le Rêve. Since Valvino ceased operating the Desert Inn Resort & Casino, our efforts have been devoted principally to the development activities described below with respect to Le Rêve and Wynn Macau's opportunity in Macau. We have not included a discussion of the Macau related entities in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as the development of the Macau casino will have no effect on the financial position or results of operations of Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Capital. In addition, the financial position and operating results of World Travel and Las Vegas Jet, which include principally the operation and charter services of a corporate aircraft, are included in Valvino's financial statements. Moreover, we continue to operate an art gallery displaying works from The Wynn Collection, which consists of artwork from the personal art collection of Stephen and Elaine Wynn. Until summer 2002, we also operated the golf course located on the site of the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino. Valvino's historical operating results will not be indicative of future operating results.
At June 30, 2002, Valvino's principal assets included the equity interests in its various subsidiaries and, together with certain of such subsidiaries, the site of the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino. At June 30, 2002, Valvino also indirectly owned a majority interest in Wynn Macau, a foreign subsidiary that has entered into a concession agreement with the government of Macau permitting it to conduct gaming operations in Macau. Wynn Macau and the other Macau-related entities are part of a line of subsidiaries that is separate from the subsidiaries that own and operate Le Rêve. As a result, cash flow generated by the Macau-related entities may not be available to service our indebtedness, including our obligations under the second mortgage notes, or support our operations. Moreover, the assets of the Macau-related entities will not serve as collateral for our Le Rêve-related indebtedness. Accordingly, the following discussion does not address the operations or assets of the Macau-related entities.
55
Development Activities
Valvino was organized in April 2000. Wynn Las Vegas was organized in April 2001 and Wynn Capital was formed in June 2002. Wynn Resorts was formed in June 2002, and in September 2002, Mr. Wynn, Aruze USA, Baron Asset Fund and the Kenneth R. Wynn Family Trust contributed their Valvino membership interests to Wynn Resorts in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Wynn Resorts. Since Valvino's formation, our activities have included arranging the design, construction and financing of Le Rêve and applying for certain permits, licenses and approvals necessary for the development and operation of Le Rêve. Wynn Resorts plans to develop, construct and operate Le Rêve as part of a world-class destination casino resort which, together with the new golf course located behind the hotel, will occupy approximately 192 acres of a 212-acre parcel of land on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. We expect Le Rêve to commence operations in April 2005.
Financial Statements Included in the Registration Statement
The separate financial statements of Wynn Macau, acquired by Valvino in April 2002, are not included in this registration statement as none of the significant subsidiary tests as provided for in the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") are met.
The separate financial statements of World Travel and Las Vegas Jet, acquired by Valvino in May 2002, are not included in this registration statement as none of the significant subsidiary tests as provided for in the applicable SEC regulations are met.
The historical financial statements of Desert Inn Resort & Casino are not included herein because management acquired the assets of the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino with the intent to construct a new business rather than acquiring an ongoing business with a continuing revenue stream.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The consolidated financial statements of Valvino and its subsidiaries were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain of our accounting policies, including the estimated lives of our depreciable assets, the evaluation of assets for impairment and the purchase price allocations made in connection with acquisitions, require that management apply significant judgment in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and therefore actual results could differ from our estimates. As of and for the period from inception to June 30, 2002, management does not believe there are any highly uncertain matters or other underlying assumptions that would have a material effect on the statement of position or results of operations of Valvino if actual results differ from our estimates.
Critical accounting policies currently reflected in Valvino's consolidated financial statements primarily relate to expensing pre-opening costs as incurred, capitalizing construction costs and other policies related to our development stage status. The application of accounting policies providing for the expensing of pre-opening costs resulted in the recognition of approximately $9 million and $12 million of costs including wages and salaries, and general and administrative expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2002, and the year ended December 31, 2001, respectively. These costs are included in the accumulated losses from development stage activities.
56
During the period of the construction of Le Rêve, direct costs such as those expected to be incurred for the design and construction of the hotel and casino, the championship golf course, and the water-based entertainment production, will be capitalized. Accordingly, we expect the recorded amounts of property and equipment to increase significantly. Depreciation expense related to the capitalized construction costs will not be recognized until the related assets are put in service. Accordingly, upon completion of construction and commencement of operation of Le Rêve, depreciation expense recognized based on the estimated useful life of the corresponding asset will have a significant effect on the results of our operations.
Additionally, upon commencement of operations at Le Rêve, we will apply other critical accounting policies not presently applied in the preparation of our financial statements. Such policies are anticipated to include the following:
Results of Operations
Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to the period from inception to December 31, 2000
Valvino recognized a loss of approximately $17.7 million related to pre-opening costs and depreciation of facilities acquired in the acquisition of the Desert Inn Resort & Casino, for the year ended December 31, 2001, an approximate increase of 67% from the loss incurred during the period from inception (April 21, 2000) to December 2000 of approximately $10.6 million.
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 increased approximately $1 million from the period from inception to December 31, 2000 primarily as a result of increased charter revenues to third parties recognized by Las Vegas Jet, LLC, which was previously wholly owned by Mr. Wynn, for approximately $715,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. In addition, revenues of approximately $80,000 were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2001, primarily as a result of the art gallery and retail shop opening in November 2001.
Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 increased approximately $9.1 million as compared to the period from inception to December 31, 2000 primarily as a result of increased pre-opening costs associated with Le Rêve and depreciation and amortization expenses which were partially offset by lower facility closure expense and losses from incidental operations. This resulted in an increase in net operating losses of
57
approximately $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the period from inception to December 31, 2000.
Pre-opening costs, which consist primarily of salaries and wages and consulting and legal fees, for the year ended December 31, 2001 increased approximately $6.2 million, as compared to the period from inception to December 31, 2000 primarily as a result of increased pre-opening activities and approximately four additional months of costs being recognized during the year ended December 31, 2001 than in the period from inception to December 31, 2000. Similarly, depreciation and amortization recognized for the year ended December 31, 2001 reflects 12 months of expenses as compared to approximately eight months of expenses recognized in the period from inception to December 31, 2000. This resulted in increased depreciation and amortization expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 of approximately $4.1 million.
Facility closure expenses were approximately $830,000 less for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the period from inception to December 31, 2000, primarily because a majority of the costs incurred for the period from inception to December 31, 2000 related to the closing of the Desert Inn Resort & Casino, which was completed in August 2000. During the period from inception to December 31, 2000, Valvino recognized a net loss from incidental operations of approximately $1.2 million as compared to no recognized net loss for the year ended December 31, 2001. The net loss in 2000 was attributable to the incidental casino and hotel operations incurred prior to its closing in August 2000.
Other incomenet increased approximately $920,000 from the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the period from inception to December 31, 2000 primarily as a result of an approximate $930,000 increase in interest income in 2001. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2001 reflects interest earned for the 12-month period whereas interest income for the period from inception to December 31, 2000 reflects interest earned for approximately eight months.
Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001
Pre-opening costs for Le Rêve and depreciation of the remaining facilities acquired in the acquisition of the Desert Inn Resort & Casino resulted in a net loss during the development stage for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was approximately $12.8 million as compared to an approximate $8.2 million net loss accumulated during the development stage for the six months ended June 2001.
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased approximately $260,000 from the six months ended June 30, 2001 as a result of increased airplane lease revenue recognized in the 2002 period than the 2001 period and an increase in revenues from the art gallery and the retail shop, which were opened in November 2001.
Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased approximately $3.9 million as compared to the same period in 2001 primarily due to an approximate $3.6 million increase in pre-opening costs. The increase in pre-opening costs, which consist primarily of salaries and wages and consulting and legal fees, is directly attributable to an increase in pre-opening activities as compared to the same period in the prior year. Management expects pre-opening costs to continue to increase as development of Le Rêve progresses.
Other incomenet for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased approximately $1.2 million from the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily as a result of an approximate
58
$750,000 decrease in interest income from 2002 to 2001. This reduction in interest income is mainly attributable to lower interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Certain trends that may affect development activities and future results of operations
In the near term, our development activities may be impacted by various economic factors, including, among other things, the availability and cost of materials, the availability of labor resources and interest rate levels. The strength and profitability of our business after Le Rêve opens will depend on consumer demand for hotel casino resorts in general and for the type of luxury amenities that Le Rêve will offer. Adverse changes in consumer preferences or discretionary income could harm our business. In particular, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and ongoing terrorist and war activities in the United States and elsewhere, have had a negative impact on travel and leisure expenditures, including lodging, gaming and tourism. In addition to fears of war and future acts of terrorism, other factors affecting discretionary consumer spending, including general economic conditions, disposable consumer income, fears of recession and consumer confidence in the economy, could reduce customer demand for the products and services we will offer, thus imposing practical limits on pricing and harming our operations.
While we believe that a nominal decline in the strength of the U.S. economy and the amount of an individual's disposable income would not have a material effect on our results of operations, a material decline in the strength of the U.S. economy and the amount of an individual's disposable income could have a significant impact on our results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Material Transactions Affecting Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since Valvino's inception on April 21, 2000, there have been a number of transactions that have had a significant impact on Valvino's liquidity. Our operations have required substantial capital investment for the acquisition of the land on which Le Rêve will be located and development of the project.
Stephen A. Wynn organized Valvino and, initially, Mr. Wynn was the sole member of Valvino. Between April of 2000 and September of 2000, Mr. Wynn made equity contributions to Valvino in an aggregate amount of approximately $220.7 million. On June 15, 2000, Mr. Wynn loaned Valvino $100 million at an interest rate of 7.875% per year.
On June 22, 2000, Valvino acquired the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada from Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., including the Desert Inn Resort & Casino golf course and some, but not all, of the residential lots located in the interior of and around the former Desert Inn golf course, for approximately $270 million in cash. In connection with that transaction, Valvino and its subsidiaries also acquired approximately 985 acre-feet of certificated water rights. In addition to acquiring the assets of the Desert Inn Resort & Casino, Valvino assumed most of its liabilities, and, to the extent assignable, all of its contracts. Valvino later acquired all of the remaining lots located in the interior of, and some of the remaining lots around, the former Desert Inn golf course for a total of $47.8 million, bringing the size of the parcel to approximately 212 acres. On August 28, 2000, Valvino closed the hotel and casino at the Desert Inn Resort & Casino site, and has since been engaged primarily in the development of a new resort hotel and casino on the site.
In July 2000, Valvino used proceeds from a $125 million loan agreement it entered into with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as lead arranger, and Bankers Trust Company, as
59
administrative agent, to make an approximately $110.5 million equity distribution to Mr. Wynn. At the time of this distribution, Mr. Wynn was the only member of Valvino.
On October 3, 2000, Aruze USA made a contribution of $260 million in cash ($250 million net of finders' fee) to Valvino in exchange for 50% of the membership interests in Valvino and was admitted as a member of Valvino. Mr. Wynn was designated as the managing member of Valvino. On October 3, 2000, $70 million of Mr. Wynn's loan was repaid out of the proceeds of this capital contribution and on October 10, 2000, the Deutsche Bank loan was repaid in full. The remaining approximately $32.3 million balance of Mr. Wynn's loan, including accrued interest, was converted to equity as a member contribution.
On April 16, 2001, Baron Asset Fund, a Massachusetts business trust, made a contribution of $20.8 million in cash ($20 million net of fees) to Valvino in exchange for approximately 3.7% of the membership interests in Valvino and was admitted as a member of Valvino. Immediately following the admission of Baron Asset Fund, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA each owned approximately 48.2% of the membership interests in Valvino.
In April 2002, Mr. Wynn, Aruze USA and Baron Asset Fund each made the following further capital contributions to Valvino:
combination of entities under common control, the contribution of Mr. Wynn's 90% interest in Wynn Macau was recorded at carryover basis (with the primary asset recorded in the financial statements being the approximate $22.5 million of cash) rather than fair value. However, Mr. Wynn's resulting 47.5% ownership interest in Valvino, after these contributions, reflects the fair value of his investment in Wynn Macau relative to the fair value of the contributions from Aruze USA and Baron Asset Fund;
Immediately following these additional capital contributions, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA each owned 47.5% of the membership interests, and Baron Asset Fund owned 5% of the membership interests in Valvino. The percentage of membership interests held by Baron Asset Fund are held by it on behalf of two series of Baron Asset Fund: (1) the Baron Asset Fund Series, on whose behalf approximately 3.6% of the membership interests in Valvino are held, and (2) the Baron Growth Fund Series, on whose behalf approximately 1.3% of the membership interests in Valvino are held. Neither Mr. Wynn nor Aruze USA increased their relative ownership interests as a result of the April 2002 capital contributions.
On June 24, 2002, the Kenneth R. Wynn Family Trust contributed $1.2 million in cash to Valvino in exchange for 0.146% of the outstanding membership interests in Valvino.

Overview of Expected Capital Resources and Commercial Commitments
As of June 30, 2002, approximately $399.3 million of the total Le Rêve project cost of approximately $2.4 billion (including the cost of the land, capitalized interest, pre-opening expenses and all financing fees) had been expended or incurred to fund the development of Le Rêve. The remaining development costs for Le Rêve are expected to be funded from a combination of:
See "Use of Proceeds."
The following table summarizes certain information regarding our expected long-term indebtedness and commercial commitments at the completion of Le Rêve. The table excludes any indebtedness or commercial commitments relating to Wynn Macau's Macau project(s), because Wynn Resorts' Macau-related subsidiaries are not guarantors of the second mortgage notes or any other Le Rêve-related indebtedness. All time periods in these tables are

Credit Facilities
Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Resorts Holdings and Valvino have entered into a commitment letter with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and certain of their affiliates for a revolving credit facility of $750 million and a delay draw term loan facility of $250 million as part of the financing of Le Rêve. These lenders or their affiliates are also serving as joint book-running managers of this offering and Wynn Resorts' initial public offering. The revolving credit facility will mature on the sixth anniversary of the closing of the credit facilities. Borrowings under the delay draw term loan facility will be available for 27 months after the closing of the credit facilities and will be repayable in quarterly installments from the first full fiscal quarter after completion of Le Rêve until the seventh anniversary of the closing of the credit facilities in amounts to be determined. The credit facilities will close concurrently with the closing of this offering. All amounts outstanding under the credit facilities will bear interest, at our option (subject to certain limitations), at either (1) a base rate equal to the greater of the prime lending rate as stated in the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and 0.5% in excess of the federal funds rate or (2) the Eurodollar rate, as determined by the administrative agent, in both cases plus certain margins. For each year after Le Rêve commences operations, we will be required to prepay borrowings under the credit facilities with a percentage of our excess cash flow (as it will be defined in the credit facilities), initially 75%, reducing to 50% and then to 0% as we meet certain leverage ratios. The availability of financing under the credit facilities is subject to certain conditions, including the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, the progress of the construction and other customary funding conditions for facilities of this kind.
Subject to applicable laws, including gaming laws and certain agreed upon exceptions, the credit facilities will be secured by liens on substantially all of our assets that are necessary for the development, construction, or operation of Le Rêve, including the real property underlying Le Rêve and the golf course and the 20-acre parcel fronting Las Vegas Boulevard adjacent to the site of Le Rêve. For a description of the terms of the credit facilities, see "Description of Other IndebtednessCredit Facilities."
FF&E Facility
Wynn Las Vegas' placement agent for the FF&E facility, Banc of America Leasing & Capital LLC, has received commitments from the lenders who will enter into the $188.5 million FF&E facility. The FF&E facility will provide financing or refinancing for furniture, fixtures and equipment to be used at Le Rêve. Wynn Las Vegas intends to use approximately $28.5 million of the FF&E facility to refinance a loan made by Bank of America, N.A. to World Travel by means of a loan to be evidenced by an intercompany note from World Travel, secured by an aircraft mortgage on World Travel's Bombardier Global Express aircraft, legal title to which is owned by a trust in which World Travel holds 100% of the beneficial interests. Valvino acquired World Travel from Mr. Wynn and has guaranteed the Bank of America loan. Valvino intends to contribute the equity interests it holds in World Travel to Wynn Las Vegas prior to the consummation of this offering. Wynn Las Vegas may use additional proceeds of the FF&E facility to finance up to 75% of the purchase price of other furniture, fixtures or equipment or refinance other furniture, fixtures or equipment purchased with proceeds of this offering or other funds. With respect to borrowings under the FF&E facility, Wynn Las Vegas will have the same interest rate elections and pricing at corresponding levels as under the credit facilities. Wynn Las Vegas may also use proceeds of the FF&E facility to refinance a replacement corporate aircraft, in which case Wynn Las Vegas would request the FF&E lenders to increase the total commitment under the FF&E facility by $10.0 million to $198.5 million. Entering into the FF&E facility is a condition to the consummation of this offering. For more information,
63
see "Use of Proceeds," "Certain Relationships and Related TransactionsAircraft Arrangements" and "Description of Other Indebtedness."
Second Mortgage Notes
Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Capital, each of which is an indirect subsidiary of Valvino, are jointly offering $340 million in aggregate principal amount of second mortgage notes as part of the financing for Le Rêve. The second mortgage notes will be secured by first priority liens on the account holding the proceeds of the second mortgage notes, by second priority liens on the assets that secure the credit facilities and by third priority liens on the assets that secure the FF&E facility, other than the aircraft-related collateral. For additional information about the terms of the second mortgage notes, see "Description of the Second Mortgage Notes."
Wynn Resorts and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries related to the Macau opportunity will not be guarantors and will not be subject to the covenants in the second mortgage notes or the credit facilities. However, Wynn Resorts itself may become a guarantor, but will not be bound by the covenants, under the second mortgage notes and the credit facilities, if Wynn Resorts incurs certain indebtedness in excess of $10 million in the aggregate or becomes a guarantor on other specified indebtedness, before we have achieved a total debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 or less and a credit facilities rating of BB+ or higher by Standard & Poor's and Ba1 or higher by Moody's Investors Service, subject to certain limited exceptions. Similarly, if Wynn Resorts pledges assets to secure guarantees of other specified indebtedness prior to meeting prescribed leverage ratio and debt rating tests, then the second mortgage notes may be secured by comparable liens on the same Wynn Resorts' assets. The security interests in these assets may be released if the leverage ratio and debt ratings tests are subsequently met.
Release of Certain Collateral
The representatives for the lenders under our credit facilities and the trustee for the second mortgage notes may release the liens on the approximately 137-acre golf course parcel and related water rights. Our credit facility and indenture will provide that the liens will be released after the third anniversary of commencing operations at Le Rêve once we have achieved a total debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 or less and if the credit facilities are rated BB+ or higher by Standard & Poor's and Ba1 or higher by Moody's Investors Service immediately after giving effect to the release.
Separately, under the credit facilities, certain portions of the golf course parcel will be released from the liens to permit residential or other non-gaming related development if we satisfy certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets for a period of four consecutive calendar quarters after Le Rêve opens, so long as the development or construction will not interfere with the use of the golf course and otherwise could not reasonably be expected to impair the overall value of Le Rêve. Upon release by the representative for the lenders under the credit facilities of these portions of the golf course, the trustee for the second mortgage note holders will automatically release their second priority liens on that property as well. In addition, the credit facilities and the indenture will provide that two acres of the golf course parcel will be released from the liens to permit the construction of a home for Mr. Wynn, so long as the construction will not interfere with the use of the golf course and otherwise could not reasonably be expected to impair the overall value of Le Rêve and Mr. Wynn pays us fair market value for the property.
64
Finally, the credit facilities will provide that the liens on the 20-acre parcel fronting Las Vegas Boulevard adjacent to the site of Le Rêve will be released by representatives for the lenders under the credit facilities if we meet certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets for four consecutive calendar quarters after the commencement of operations at Le Rêve. In addition, the representatives of the lenders, by action of a specified percentage of the lenders, may release the liens on the 20-acre parcel if we meet certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets for two consecutive calendar quarters after the commencement of operations at Le Rêve. Upon release in either such case by the representatives for the lenders, the trustee for the second mortgage note holders will automatically release their second priority liens on the 20-acre parcel. Upon release by the trustee and bank representative, the golf course parcel, or portions of such parcel, and the 20-acre parcel will not be available as security for the second mortgage notes or the indebtedness under the credit facilities. See "Risk FactorsRisks Related to the Offering and the Second Mortgage NotesIf earnings or leverage and ratings tests specified in the second mortgage notes indenture are met, the note holders' liens on some of the real property collateral will be released" and "If the lenders under the credit facilities release their security interests in the Phase II land or in some portions of the golf course land, the second mortgage note holders' security interests in that land will be automatically released. The interests of the lenders may be different than those of the second mortgage note holders."
Restrictions on Disbursements
We intend to deposit all of the net proceeds from the offering of the second mortgage notes in a secured account pledged to the second mortgage note holders pursuant to an agreement with the trustee for the second mortgage note holders. Pursuant to the terms of the disbursement agreement, we are required to use a substantial portion of the cash equity contribution made to Wynn Las Vegas by Wynn Resorts before accessing the proceeds from the offering of the second mortgage notes. The disbursement agreement also requires us to use all of the proceeds from this offering of second mortgage notes before borrowing under the credit facilities or the FF&E facility. We do not expect to request disbursements of the second mortgage note proceeds until approximately ten to twelve months after the closing of this offering, and we do not expect to borrow under the credit facilities or the FF&E facility until approximately 16-19 months after the closing of this offering and after applying all of the proceeds of this offering towards the development and construction of Le Rêve.
Our ability to receive disbursements from time to time of the second mortgage note proceeds from the secured account and to borrow under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility will be, in addition to other customary conditions to funding for these types of facilities, subject to various conditions, including the following:
65
See "Risk FactorsRisks Associated with Our Construction of Le RêveThere are significant conditions to the funding of the remaining components of the financing for the Le Rêve project." We expect that the funds provided by the sources described above and available cash will be sufficient to develop, construct and commence operations of Le Rêve and to pay interest on borrowings under the credit facilities, the FF&E facility and the second mortgage notes until the scheduled opening of Le Rêve, assuming there are no significant delay costs or construction cost overruns for which we are responsible. See "Risk FactorsRisks Associated with Our Construction of Le RêveThe development costs of Le Rêve are estimates only, and actual development costs may be higher than expected." The disbursement agreement will contain conditions precedent to our entering into scope change orders that will increase or decrease the anticipated costs of the project. These conditions will require us to fund equity into an account subject to a security interest in favor of the lenders under the credit facilities and the holders of the second mortgage notes or to allocate realized cost savings then available under the project budget in an amount equal to the anticipated incremental cost of the change orders. In addition, if we do not complete construction of Le Rêve by the scheduled completion date, which may be extended in accordance with the disbursement agreement, but not beyond September 30, 2005, except for certain limited permitted extensions due to force majeure events, we will be in default under the credit facilities, the indenture governing the second mortgage notes and the FF&E facility, and the holders of our indebtedness will have the right to accelerate our indebtedness and exercise other rights and remedies against us, and against Wynn Resorts if Wynn Resorts becomes a guarantor of the indebtedness under the credit facilities and the second mortgage notes, or if liens on assets of Wynn Resorts secure the credit facilities or the second mortgage notes. See "Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Substantial IndebtednessWe are highly leveraged and future cash flow may not be sufficient to meet our obligations, including our obligations under the second mortgage notes, and we might have difficulty obtaining more financing."
Initial Public Offering of Wynn Resorts
Concurrent with this offering, Wynn Resorts will offer shares of its common stock in an initial public offering with expected gross proceeds of approximately $450 million.
66
Other Liquidity Matters
Following the completion of Le Rêve, we expect to fund our operations and capital requirements from operating cash flow and borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Assuming that Le Rêve opens in April 2005, we expect that the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the credit facilities, the FF&E facility and the second mortgage notes will be approximately $1.5 billion. If completion of the project is delayed, then our debt service obligations accruing prior to the actual opening of Le Rêve will increase correspondingly. We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings available to us under the credit facilities will be sufficient to enable us to service and repay our indebtedness and to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity and, if Wynn Resorts incurs indebtedness exceeding $10 million in the aggregate, or becomes a guarantor on other specified indebtedness to do this, subject to certain limited exceptions, it may be required to guarantee the second mortgage notes, the credit facilities and the FF&E facility. Similarly, if Wynn Resorts pledges assets to secure guarantees of other specified indebtedness prior to meeting prescribed leverage ratio and debt rating tests, then the credit facilities and second mortgage notes may be secured by liens on Wynn Resorts' assets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including the credit facilities, the FF&E facility or the second mortgage notes on acceptable terms or at all. See "Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Substantial IndebtednessWe may not generate sufficient cash flow to meet our substantial debt service and other obligations, including our obligations under the second mortgage notes."
A special purpose subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas will be providing a $50 million completion guarantee in favor of the lenders under the credit facilities and the holders of the second mortgage notes to secure completion in full of the construction and opening of Le Rêve, including all furniture, fixtures and equipment, the parking structure, the golf course and the availability of initial working capital. Wynn Resorts will contribute $50 million of the net proceeds of its initial public offering to that subsidiary to support its obligations under the completion guarantee. These funds will be deposited into a collateral account to be held in cash or short-term highly rated securities, and pledged to the lenders under the credit facilities and the holders of the second mortgage notes as security for the completion guarantee. Pursuant to the disbursement agreement, these funds will become available to Wynn Las Vegas on a gradual basis to apply to the costs of the project only after fifty percent of the Le Rêve construction work has been completed. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our credit facilities or the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, the lenders under our credit facilities or, if no amounts are outstanding under our credit facilities, the second mortgage note holders, will be permitted to exercise remedies against such sums and apply such sums against the obligations under their respective documents. After the completion and opening of Le Rêve, any amounts remaining in this account will be released to Wynn Resorts.
In addition, Wynn Resorts will contribute $30 million of the net proceeds of its common stock offering to Wynn Las Vegas to be held in a liquidity reserve account and pledged to the lenders under the credit facilities and the holders of the second mortgage notes to secure Wynn Las Vegas' obligation to develop and construct Le Rêve. Until the opening of Le Rêve, these funds may be applied to the costs of the project in accordance with the disbursement agreement. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our credit facilities or the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, the lenders under our credit facilities or, if no amounts are outstanding under our credit facilities, the holders of the second mortgage notes, will be permitted to exercise remedies against such sums and apply such sums against
67
the obligations under their respective documents. Following the completion and opening of Le Rêve, these funds will be available to meet our debt service needs in connection with the operation of Le Rêve. Once we have met prescribed earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters after the opening of Le Rêve, any remaining funds will be used to reduce the outstanding balance of our revolving credit facility, but without reducing the revolving credit facility commitment.
New business developments or other unforeseen events may occur, resulting in the need to raise additional funds. For example, we continue to explore opportunities to develop additional gaming or related businesses in Las Vegas or other markets, whether through acquisition, investment or development. Any such development would require us to obtain additional financing. We may also decide to conduct any such development through Wynn Resorts or through a line of subsidiaries separate from the Le Rêve entities. In addition, Wynn Resorts' articles of incorporation provide that Wynn Resorts may redeem shares of its capital stock, including its common stock, that are owned or controlled by an unsuitable person or its affiliates to the extent a gaming authority makes a determination of unsuitability and orders the redemption, or to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the board of directors. The redemption price may be paid in cash, by promissory note or both, as required by the applicable gaming authority and, if not, as Wynn Resorts elects. Any promissory note that Wynn Resorts issues to an unsuitable person or its affiliate in exchange for its shares may increase our debt to equity ratio and will increase our leverage ratio.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk will be interest rate risk associated with our revolving credit facility, delay draw term loan facility and FF&E facility, each of which will bear interest based on floating rates. We will attempt to manage our interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long-term fixed rate borrowings and variable rate borrowings. We are required to obtain interest rate protection through interest rate swap arrangements with respect to 50% of our term loans (including any revolving loans that may be converted into term loans). However, we cannot assure you that these risk management strategies will have the desired effect, and interest rate fluctuations could have a negative impact on our results of operations.
We do not use derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Inflation
We believe that our results of operations do not depend upon moderate changes in the inflation rate.
Transactions with Related Parties
The financial statements of Valvino and its subsidiaries reflect certain transactions with related parties. Transactions with related parties, by their nature, may involve terms or aspects that differ from those that would have resulted from negotiations with independent third parties.

Overview
We are constructing and will own and operate Le Rêve, which we have designed to be the preeminent luxury hotel and destination casino resort in Las Vegas. Le Rêve will be located on the Las Vegas Strip on the site of the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino, at the northeast corner of the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sands Avenue, one-half block north of The Venetian and Treasure Island at The Mirage and across Las Vegas Boulevard from the Fashion Show Mall. We expect Le Rêve to feature approximately 2,700 luxurious guest rooms, a casually elegant approximately 111,000 square foot casino, 18 distinctive dining outlets, an exclusive on-site 18-hole championship golf course and a new water-based entertainment production.
Le Rêve is the concept of Stephen A. Wynn, one of Wynn Resorts' principal stockholders and its Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Wynn previously was Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirage Resorts and its predecessor from 1973 to 2000. In that role he was responsible for the development of some of the most successful, well-known casino-based entertainment resorts in the world, including Bellagio, The Mirage, Treasure Island at The Mirage and the Golden NuggetLas Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as the Atlantic City Golden Nugget in New Jersey and the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi. At the time each of these resorts was completed, we believe that it was widely regarded as a significant major new attraction in its jurisdiction.
We expect Le Rêve, including the new golf course construction, to cost approximately $2.4 billion to design, construct develop, equip and open, including the cost of the land, capitalized interest, pre-opening expenses and all financing fees. We have scheduled ground-breaking to occur in October 2002, with an opening to the general public scheduled for April 2005.
Our Strategy
Showcase the "Wynn Brand." We believe that Mr. Wynn's involvement with Le Rêve provides a distinct advantage over other gaming enterprises in Las Vegas. We believe that Mr. Wynn is widely viewed as the premier designer, developer and operator of destination casino resorts in Las Vegas and, as such, has in effect developed a "brand name" status in the gaming industry.
While Mr. Wynn was Chairman of the Board of Mirage Resorts, he conceived of and oversaw the development and operation of some of the most successful, well-known casino-based entertainment resorts in the world, including Bellagio, The Mirage, Treasure Island at The Mirage, the Golden NuggetLas Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as the Atlantic City Golden Nugget in New Jersey and the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi. Mr. Wynn served as Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirage Resorts and its predecessor for 27 years, until 2000, when MGM Grand acquired Mirage Resorts for approximately $6.4 billion. The public filings and press releases of Mirage Resorts and MGM Mirage report that in fiscal year 1999, the last full year of Mr. Wynn's tenure with Mirage Resorts, the company had grown to own and operate eight hotel casino resort properties totaling 630,000 square feet of casino gaming space and 16,577 hotel rooms that generated approximately $2.4 billion in revenue, $573 million in earnings before depreciation, interest, taxes and pre-opening costs and $110.4 million in net income.
In the major hotel destination casino resorts he has previously developed, Mr. Wynn has successfully employed a formula which integrates luxurious surroundings, upscale design,
69
distinctive entertainment and superior amenities, including fine dining and high-end retail offerings, to create resorts that appeal to a variety of customers, especially high-end customers. We believe that Le Rêve will be Mr. Wynn's most innovative work to date.
We believe that Le Rêve will set a new standard of luxury and elegance for destination casino resorts in Las Vegas, much as Bellagio, and before it, The Mirage, did when they were built by Mirage Resorts under the guidance of Mr. Wynn. The following chart compares certain features of The Mirage and Bellagio with the features and amenities that we anticipate Le Rêve will offer.

Create a "Must-Visit" Destination Casino Resort on the Las Vegas Strip. We believe that Le Rêve will represent a natural extension of the concepts Mr. Wynn has utilized in developing other major destination casino resorts. Following Mr. Wynn's formula, we plan to draw customers to Le Rêve by offering high-quality, non-gaming amenities such as fine dining, premier retail shopping and distinctive entertainment in intimate, luxurious surroundings. Le Rêve will have a sophisticated, casually elegant ambience rather than being focused on a highly themed experience like many other hotel casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. We believe that, over time, Le Rêve's more generally themed casually elegant environment, together with its high-quality amenities, superior level of service and distinctive attractions, will have greater lasting appeal to customers than a resort with a particular theme and numerous attractions based on that theme.
We will seek to differentiate Le Rêve from other major Las Vegas resorts by concentrating on our fundamental elements of design, atmosphere, personal service and level of luxury. Le Rêve will offer our guests lush landscaping and tiered waterfalls, an approximately three-acre lake in front of the hotel that guests can view only after entering the property and an arc-shaped hotel tower instead of the three-pointed "Y" and four-pointed "X" configurations that have become commonplace among Las Vegas hotel casino resorts. We believe that the elegance of Le Rêve, and its convenient location on the Las Vegas Strip, will appeal to a variety of market segments, including high-end, casino, convention, leisure and tour and travel customers.
Open the First New Major Hotel Casino Resort on the Las Vegas Strip in Almost Five Years. Although a number of hotel casino resorts have announced or begun construction of expansion projects that will add to the number of hotel rooms on the Las Vegas Strip, we are not aware of any other major new hotel casino resort that plans to open on the Las Vegas Strip before Le Rêve. Therefore, at the time of Le Rêve's planned opening in April 2005, we believe that it will have been almost five years since a major new hotel casino resort opened on the Las Vegas Strip. As a result, we expect that there will be a high level of anticipation for Le Rêve. We intend to capitalize on this high level of anticipation, as well as the tendency of customers in the Las Vegas market to gravitate toward new attractions and locations. When Bellagio opened in 1998 there was widespread publicity in newspapers, radio and other media outlets. We anticipate that publicity regarding Le Rêve's opening will be comparable.
Provide an Experience of the Highest Standard of Luxury in an Atmosphere of Casual Elegance. We are designing Le Rêve to appeal to upscale clientele looking for a first-class environment of elegance, sophistication and luxury. We will seek to attract a range of customers, including middle market customers and high-roller and premium gaming patrons, by providing guests with a premium level of luxury, amenities and service.
We believe that the key elements of our approach, as currently planned, include:
71
Appeal to "High-Roller" and Premium Gaming Patrons. We believe that the premium level of luxury, sophistication and service we intend to offer at Le Rêve, together with Mr. Wynn's experience and reputation in building and operating premier Las Vegas destination casino resorts, will appeal to high-roller international and domestic gaming patrons. In addition to the main casino, Le Rêve will offer a baccarat salon and private high-limit gaming rooms designed to create a sense of comfort and exclusivity for high-end gaming customers. In addition to standard hotel guest rooms, Le Rêve plans to offer approximately 290 suites and six villas, all elegantly decorated and furnished.
We also expect to capitalize on the substantial network of international and domestic high-roller and premium customers who are familiar with Mr. Wynn from his tenure at Mirage Resorts. We believe that in operating some of the signature properties in Las Vegas, Mr. Wynn has developed a high degree of customer recognition and guest loyalty and therefore believe that Le Rêve will attract wealthy international and domestic gaming customers. We believe that Mr. Wynn's reputation will attract experienced, high-level international and domestic casino marketing executives. We plan to have marketing executives located in local offices in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan, Europe, New York and southern California, as well as independent marketing representatives in major U.S. and foreign cities. Mr. Wynn is
72
not bound by any non-competition or non-solicitation agreements with MGM Mirage arising out of the acquisition of MGM Grand's acquisition of Mirage Resorts.
Generate Substantial Revenue from Le Rêve's Non-Gaming Amenities. We have planned Le Rêve as a luxury destination resort with amenities designed to generate substantial non-gaming revenue. We expect Le Rêve's superior non-gaming amenities outlined above to provide for a substantial portion of our overall revenue.
Capitalize on the Attractive Location of Le Rêve.
Extensive Frontage on the Las Vegas Strip. Le Rêve will be located on the Las Vegas Strip at the site of the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino on the northeast corner of the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sands Avenue. Le Rêve will have approximately 1,350 feet of frontage on the Las Vegas Strip and will be located near some of the most visited hotel casino resorts and attractions on the Las Vegas Strip, including Bellagio, Caesars Palace, The Mirage, Treasure Island at The Mirage and The Venetian.
The Le Rêve site consists of approximately 55 acres of land, where the hotel complex will be built, and approximately 137 acres of land behind the hotel site on which the new golf course will sit. In addition, the site includes a 20-acre parcel fronting Las Vegas Boulevard adjacent to Le Rêve. In total, the Le Rêve site consists of 212 acres. The back of the Le Rêve property runs along Paradise Road, a major artery in the resort corridor that leads directly to and from McCarran International Airport. Le Rêve will be conveniently accessible in an average of approximately four minutes from the Spring Mountain Road exit off of Interstate 15, and in an average of approximately ten minutes from McCarran International Airport.
Proximity to the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Sands Expo and Convention Center. According to Tradeshow Week 200, Las Vegas was the most popular trade show destination in the United States in terms of net square footage and number of Tradeshow Week 200 shows in 2001 and one of the most popular convention destinations in the United States. Le Rêve will be across the street from two of the nation's largest convention centers, the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Sands Expo and Convention Center.
The Las Vegas Convention Center contains approximately 3.2 million square feet of convention space. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, approximately 1.3 million visitors attended trade shows and conventions at the Las Vegas Convention Center during 2001. We anticipate that the Las Vegas Convention Center will be accessible from Le Rêve by a pedestrian crossing at Paradise Road. In addition, the Las Vegas Monorail Company is constructing a monorail station at the intersection of Desert Inn Road and Paradise Road which will meet the pedestrian crossing. We anticipate that our free shuttle service, which will run along the north perimeter of the golf course, will provide convention and trade show attendees and other Le Rêve visitors with quick and convenient transportation to and from the convention center. We believe that this will be attractive to convention and trade show visitors who will not need to wait in long lines for taxicabs and can avoid traffic congestion around the Las Vegas Convention Center in traveling to or from Le Rêve.
To the south, Le Rêve will be directly across Sands Avenue from the approximately 1.2 million square foot Sands Expo and Convention Center. This complex will be within a short walking distance from Le Rêve's Sands Avenue entrance and we anticipate that the Sands Expo and Convention Center will be accessible from Le Rêve by a pedestrian bridge which we understand Clark County plans to build. According to the public filings of Las Vegas Sands, Inc., an affiliate of the owner of the Sands Expo and Convention Center, approximately 1 million visitors attended trade shows and conventions at the Sands Expo and Convention Center during 2001.
73
We believe that Le Rêve's proximity to these trade show and convention facilities will make Le Rêve particularly attractive to business customers who attend trade shows and conventions. We expect these customers to be a source of room demand for Le Rêve during mid-week periods when room demand by leisure travelers is typically lower. Because of this source of room demand, we believe that we will be able to charge higher mid-week room rates than those of other Las Vegas Strip hotels.
Proximity to the Fashion Show Mall. Le Rêve will be directly across Las Vegas Boulevard from The Rouse Company's Fashion Show Mall. We anticipate that Le Rêve will be connected to the mall by a pedestrian bridge which we understand Clark County plans to build. The Fashion Show Mall contains premium retail stores and anchor tenants such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy's and is currently undergoing a substantial remodeling and expansion program, which is expected to be completed by October 2003. When the remodeling and expansion are completed, the Fashion Show Mall is expected to house a number of new stores, including Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor and Bloomingdale's Home & Furniture. We anticipate that the proximity of the Fashion Show Mall to our retail shops will draw significantly more shoppers to the area.
Capitalize on Our Experienced Management and Design Teams. The members of our management team have extensive experience in developing and operating large-scale hotels and casinos, and many of them worked with Mr. Wynn at Mirage Resorts. In addition to Wynn Resorts' executive officers, each of whose background is described in "Management," our management team includes:
In addition, the members of our design team have extensive experience in designing, constructing and completing major hotel casino resorts. See "Design and Construction Team."
We believe that the experience, talent and commitment of the members of our management and design teams provide a substantial competitive advantage.
Carefully Manage Construction Costs and Risks. Wynn Design & Development, a wholly owned subsidiary of Valvino, is responsible for managing construction costs and risks
74
associated with the project. Marnell Corrao will be the builder and general contractor for Le Rêve. Marnell Corrao has extensive experience in building large Las Vegas destination resorts, including Bellagio, The Mirage, Treasure Island at The Mirage and New York-New York Hotel and Casino. We expect the total development cost of Le Rêve to be approximately $2.4 billion, including the cost of the land, capitalized interest, pre-opening expenses and all financing fees. Of that amount, the design and construction costs are estimated to be approximately $1.4 billion. We have entered into a guaranteed maximum price construction contract covering approximately $919 million of the budgeted construction cost. The guaranteed maximum price is subject to increases because of, among other things, scope changes to the project. Plans for a substantial portion of the budget for this contract have not been finalized. We plan to implement specific mechanisms that are intended to reduce the risk of construction cost overruns and delays, including:
We have entered into a separate design/build contract with Bomel Construction Company, Inc. for the design and construction of the parking structure. Bomel has extensive experience constructing parking structures, including garages at Paris Las Vegas, Green Valley Ranch Station and The Palms Casino Resort. We are currently soliciting bids for construction of the new golf course and expect to award the contract in the fourth quarter of 2002. We expect that the newly constructed golf course will be available for play when Le Rêve opens.
Benefit from the Significant Equity Investment. We will have a significant cash equity capitalization for the development of Le Rêve. From inception through the completion of Le
75
Rêve, we expect to have received a total of approximately $937 million in cash equity, which represents approximately 40% of the total project costs. The $937 million derives from equity contributions from the prior members of Valvino and $374.7 million of the net proceeds of the concurrent initial public offering by Wynn Resorts. To date, Mr. Wynn has invested approximately $175 million in cash equity, which demonstrates his commitment to the Le Rêve project.
The Le Rêve Resort
Features of the Le Rêve Project
As noted elsewhere in this prospectus, although we have determined the overall scope and general design of Le Rêve, we will continue to evaluate the Le Rêve project design in relation to its construction schedule and budget and the demands of the Las Vegas tourism and gaming market. All of the features of Le Rêve described in this prospectus are based on our current plans for the project, and, therefore, the design of individual elements of Le Rêve may be refined from the descriptions contained in this prospectus; however, project changes are limited in certain respects by the documents governing our indebtedness.
The Hotel. We have designed Le Rêve's hotel tower to contain 45 floors of hotel rooms and suites on top of a three-story low-rise building housing restaurants, retail outlets and the casino. The building will have a total area of approximately 5.2 million square feet. The high-rise building is configured in the shape of a gentle arc with the focal point of the tower being the Le Rêve lake, an approximately three-acre manmade lake situated in front of the hotel, and the manmade "mountain" in front of the lake along the Las Vegas Strip. We are designing the Le Rêve lake and "mountain" to provide special effects intended to entertain our guests and the pedestrians who come to our hotel and casino.
The Le Rêve hotel guest main arrival area will feature an atrium garden adjacent to the registration desk with a view of the Le Rêve lake below. We are designing Le Rêve to provide an intimate setting by minimizing walking distances throughout the hotel with a well-designed, organized floor plan to facilitate guest orientation and familiarity with the property. On average, we expect that walking distances from the registration hosts to the guest elevators will be only approximately 460 feet. Comparative distances at The Venetian, Bellagio and The Mirage are approximately 530 feet, approximately 545 feet and approximately 570 feet, respectively. Once the guests arrive on their floor, we expect that the maximum walking distance to the most remote guest room will be approximately 240 feet, as compared to similar hotels such as Bellagio, The Mirage, Treasure Island at The Mirage and The Venetian at approximately 360 feet.
The Guest Rooms. We intend to decorate our approximately 2,400 standard guest rooms with sophisticated interior design elements and materials. The standard guest rooms have been designed to have a floor layout of approximately 620 square feet, which is approximately 100 to 125 square feet more than the industry standard for a standard guest room. The arc-shaped design of our high-rise building will provide rooms with a view of the golf course, lake and "mountain" setting, or the surrounding mountains and has enabled us to design these rooms with widened entryways consisting of six-foot wide marble foyers. All standard rooms will have views of either the golf course or Las Vegas Boulevard and also are expected to have large working desks equipped with convenient and accessible electrical outlets. Additionally, we expect that each guest room will have a dedicated high-speed Internet connection utilizing state-of-the-art broadband connections that, for an additional fee, can be upgraded for in-room wireless Internet access with an adapter. Generally, this type of broadband connection currently is not available in the guest rooms of other hotels in Las Vegas. We expect that standard room bathrooms will have an oversized countertop, double sinks, a makeup area and television, a glass shower enclosure, a separate toilet compartment and a bathtub for two.
76
We also plan for Le Rêve to provide single and multiple bedroom luxury suites with superior amenities and furnishings designed to accommodate high-end hotel guests. Le Rêve expects to offer 270 parlor and salon suites (beginning at approximately 1,250 square feet) located in the tower of the hotel high-rise building and 18 to 21 one- and two-bedroom fairway lanai suites (beginning at approximately 2,200 square feet) located on the east side of the low-rise complex overlooking the golf course. The high-rise suite area will be separated from the standard guest rooms on each floor by a glass door, effectively creating a separate but adjoining "suite tower" accessible only to suite occupants. Occupants of the suites can also make use of a special hotel garden entrance to the hotel, located off of the south porte cochere VIP arrival area, as well as an exclusive elevator for the suites. The suites will be conveniently located near the casino and some of the fine-dining restaurants.
We believe that we have designed these elegant and spacious suites to satisfy the expectations of the highly sought-after international gaming customer. The salon suites' living rooms and bedrooms are designed to have views overlooking the Las Vegas Strip or Las Vegas' surrounding geography. We plan for each salon suite to feature a luxurious lounge area with a media center, adjacent dining or conference area, wet bar and oversized bathroom.
We believe that the location of our lanai suites on the golf course fairway will be especially attractive to our VIP gaming customers and hotel guests who desire the peace and privacy of staying in more secluded living quarters detached from the main hotel complex. The 18 to 21 fairway lanai suites will be situated in a three-story structure and will be conveniently located near our four swimming pools. We plan for each of our fairway lanai suites to have its own private patio overlooking the golf course and will include programmable guestroom controls to accommodate many of the native languages of our hotel guests. We believe that each of our suites will be decorated and furnished to satisfy the most discriminating tastes and clientele.
We also plan to offer four two-bedroom and two four-bedroom villas located in the low-rise structure of our hotel. Our villas will average approximately 7,000 square feet. Our villas will be accessible via a private entry located off of the south porte cochere VIP arrival area and will be conveniently located close to our retail stores and fine-dining restaurants.
The Casino. We expect Le Rêve to have an approximately 111,000 square foot casino located in the center of the first level of the low-rise building. Le Rêve's casino will be designed with a feeling of casual elegance and color palettes that complement Le Rêve's resort setting. We have planned the casino to have a well-organized floor plan and well-defined pathways that will allow our patrons easy access to the casino. The casino's main gaming area will contain an estimated 136 table games and 2,000 slot machines, a race and sports book, poker room and keno lounge. Our gaming limits will accommodate a full range of casino customers. In addition, Le Rêve will have a baccarat salon and private gaming rooms with direct access from the "suite tower." We plan for each private gaming room to be elegantly appointed with its own private dining room and patio terrace overlooking Le Rêve's pools. We will market the casino directly to gaming customers using database marketing techniques, slot clubs and traditional incentives, such as reduced room rates and complimentary meals and suites. We will offer high-roller gaming customers premium suites and special hotel services.
The Golf Course. We plan to construct a world-class, 18-hole championship golf course at the site of the former Desert Inn golf course. Based on current publicly available plans, when Le Rêve opens, we believe this golf course will be the only golf course on the site of a hotel casino resort on the Las Vegas Strip. Tom Fazio and Mr. Wynn, the designers of the
77
Shadow Creek golf course owned by MGM Mirage, have designed Le Rêve's golf course, which will be accessible only to hotel guests of Le Rêve. We expect that the golf course will feature three lakes and a series of meandering streams that will carve their way from the west to east end of the property. We have designed the golf course with dramatic elevation changes and plan to include water on almost every hole. Unlike other courses available to Las Vegas visitors, Le Rêve's golf course will be adjacent to the hotel and will be visible from the windows of many of Le Rêve's meeting and convention rooms. We expect that the golf course will be available for play when Le Rêve opens.
Restaurants, Lounges, Bars and Nightclub. We plan to offer 18 food and beverage outlets, including six fine-dining restaurants and an approximately 600-seat buffet. We plan to follow the approach Mr. Wynn utilized at Mirage Resorts in seeking to persuade signature chefs to either move to Las Vegas or open second versions of restaurants that are well-known in other cities. In July 2002, Wynn Las Vegas entered into a restaurant management agreement with Dinex Management, LLC to provide the cuisine and services of Daniel Boulud, who was named "Chef of the Year" by Bon Appetit Magazine in 1999, and is known for his New York restaurants, DANIEL and Café Boulud. DANIEL was awarded four stars by the New York Times in 2001, was rated one of the ten best restaurants in the world by The International Herald Tribune in 1993 and received Gourmet Magazine's "Top Table" award in 1997.
We plan to engage a number of well-known interior designers to decorate and stylize Le Rêve's numerous restaurants. We expect Le Rêve to offer a full complement of lounges and bars and a nightclub. We have planned for several of our restaurants to overlook the Le Rêve lake and will offer outdoor lounges and/or dining areas.
The Showroom. Le Rêve's showroom will be customized to accommodate the unveiling of Franco Dragone's new water-based entertainment production. Mr. Dragone is the creative force behind Bellagio's production of "O" and Treasure Island at The Mirage's production of "Mystère," as well as Celine Dion's new production at the approximately 4,000-seat performing arts "Colosseum" currently being constructed by Caesars Palace and scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2003. "O" and "Mystère" reportedly have been consistently sold out since opening.
The showroom will seat approximately 2,080 guests and will feature an approximately 1,000,000 gallon performance pool. The seating for the showroom is designed to extend around the performance area a full 360 degrees and to be suspended over the performance pool with no seat farther than approximately 42 feet from the performance area.
The Art Gallery. Le Rêve will also offer an art gallery displaying rare paintings from The Wynn Collection. The Wynn Collection consists of works from 19th and 20th century European and American masters, and at various times has included works by Paul Cézanne, Paul Gaugin, Édouard Manet, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh. Several of these paintings were on display at Bellagio before MGM Grand's acquisition of Mirage Resorts. Subject to certain notice restrictions, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn will retain the right to remove or replace any or all of the works of art that will be displayed in the art gallery. We will lease The Wynn Collection from Mr. and Mrs. Wynn. We will be obligated to pay a monthly payment equal to one-half of the gross revenue, as calculated under the agreement, received by the gallery each month, less direct expenses, subject to a monthly cap. However, if there is a loss in any particular month, as calculated under the agreement, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn will be obligated to reimburse us the amount of the loss. After specified notice periods, we or Mr. and Mrs. Wynn may terminate this lease. See "Certain Relationships and Related TransactionsArt Gallery."
78
The Ferrari and Maserati Dealership. We have entered into letters of intent with Ferrari North America, Inc. and Maserati North America, Inc. to open an authorized on-site, full-service Ferrari and Maserati dealership. We expect that our franchises will include a service and maintenance facility, as well as a café and retail store. Currently, there are only 29 Ferrari dealerships in the United States and we expect ours to be the first in Nevada. The dealership will be located near the main entrance to the hotel.
The letters of intent, as amended, require us to submit designs and plans for the dealership to Ferrari North America and Maserati North America for approval and to satisfy certain financing and other ongoing conditions, including minimum working capital and net worth requirements. The letters of intent also require us to provide quarterly updates as to the status of construction of Le Rêve and to continuously meet all capital, facility, personnel, customer satisfaction and operational standards of Ferrari North America and Maserati North America. If we are approved to operate the franchises, Ferrari North America and Maserati North America will have first and senior priority security interests in their respective franchises. Under these letters of intent, we are required to notify Ferrari North America and Maserati North America at least sixty days prior to the sale of any of our stock by Mr. Wynn and, if practicable, by Aruze USA. If advance notification is not practicable, we must notify Ferrari North America and Maserati North America promptly after we learn of any sale of our stock by Aruze USA. Under these letters of intent, Mr. Wynn may not hold less than 50% of the voting power of our issued and outstanding voting stock without the prior written approval of Ferrari North America and Maserati North America. For the purpose of this requirement, under the letters of intent, Mr. Wynn is considered to hold all shares subject to the voting agreement contained in the stockholders agreement, including shares held by Aruze USA. Mr. Wynn currently meets and, upon the completion of this offering, is expected to meet, this requirement. Under these letters of intent, we are also required, barring any unforeseen delays in the construction of Le Rêve, to commence dealership operations by December 31, 2004. If we are unable to open our permanent dealership by this date, it is currently contemplated that we may open a temporary dealership. For more information about the stockholders agreement between Mr. Wynn, Aruze USA and Baron Asset Fund, see "Certain Relationships and Related TransactionsStockholders Agreement" and "Ownership of Capital Stock."
We are in the process of seeking a zoning ordinance amendment to permit us to operate the dealership at the Le Rêve site. Under the letters of intent, we are required to (1) file a petition with Clark County for the amendment of the applicable land use ordinance by December 1, 2002, (2) file, as soon as possible after the amendment of the land use ordinance, the necessary application for land use approval and (3) obtain both the ordinance amendment and the land use approval no later than October 1, 2003.
Retail Space. We expect that Le Rêve will contain approximately 77,500 square feet dedicated to retail shops. We expect to lease approximately eight of the shops to tenants operating boutiques, including brand name and high-end boutiques. We plan to operate the remaining approximately 18 stores, including a golf shop and other shops selling, among other things, men's clothing, women's apparel and accessories, art, watches, sundries and proprietary Le Rêve products.
The Spa, Salon and Fitness Complex. We plan to own and operate an approximately 38,000 square foot world-class spa, salon and fitness complex offering high-end spa treatments and fitness equipment and custom label and branded skin and body treatment products, as well as clothing, accessories, and athletic wear.
79
Swimming Pools. Le Rêve will offer its guests four outdoor swimming pools and two whirlpool spas. Two swimming pools will be dedicated for the exclusive use of our suite guests. All of the pool areas will feature private cabanas and lush landscaping.
Convention, Meeting and Reception Facilities. Le Rêve expects to feature approximately 223,000 square feet of convention, meeting and reception space (including corridors and patio space), including a grand ballroom, a junior ballroom and meeting rooms with outdoor patios overlooking either the pool area or the golf course, as well as boardrooms and a business center. Covered patios off of the meeting rooms will be available as pre-function or break-out areas.
The Wedding Chapels. Le Rêve will include two intimate wedding chapels that we expect will accommodate 60 guests each.
Parking. Our north parking garage, which will have easy access to our hotel, will provide approximately 1,840 parking spaces for our guests and other visitors. The second level of the north parking garage will connect to a retail promenade that will lead to our casino. We will have two levels of valet parking under the hotel and a separate parking area for employees located on the 20-acre parcel next to the Le Rêve. In total, we expect that there will be approximately 4,050 parking spaces available to guests and employees of Le Rêve.
Design and Construction Team
Valvino's subsidiary, Wynn Design & Development, together with Stephen A. Wynn, is designing Le Rêve. Wynn Design & Development, which will supervise construction of Le Rêve, is comprised of a highly qualified team of specialists with an impressive track record in designing, constructing and completing major hotel casino resorts. The Wynn Design & Development team includes:
80
responsible for the interior design of The Mirage, including the standard rooms, suites and villas, the spa and salon, the Siegfried & Roy and Danny Gans showrooms and the expansion of the convention center. In addition, Mr. Thomas was responsible for the interior design of Bellagio and the Golden NuggetLas Vegas and much of the interior design at Treasure Island at The Mirage, including redecoration of the original tower, the casino and the lobby.
Construction Schedule and Budget
We have scheduled groundbreaking for Le Rêve to occur in October 2002, with an opening to the general public scheduled for April 2005.
Wynn Design & Development, a wholly owned subsidiary of Valvino, is responsible for the design and architecture of Le Rêve (except for the showroom, the golf course and the parking garage) and for managing construction costs and risks associated with the Le Rêve project. Nevada law requires that a firm licensed as a professional architectural organization certify architectural plans. These architectural services for the Le Rêve project will be provided by the firm of Butler/Ashworth Architects, Ltd., LLC. The principals of the Butler/Ashworth firm are DeRuyter O. Butler and Glen Ashworth, both of whom are employees of Wynn Design & Development. Mr. Butler is Executive Vice President of Wynn Design & Development. Wynn Design & Development is the only client of the Butler/Ashworth firm and pays the salaries and benefits of Messrs. Butler and Ashworth. Neither we nor Mr. Wynn has an ownership interest in Butler/Ashworth.
We expect the total development cost of Le Rêve to be approximately $2.4 billion, including the budgeted design and construction costs, cost of the land, capitalized interest, pre-opening expenses and all financing fees. The required cash interest payments and commitment fees on the credit facilities, the FF&E facility, the second mortgage notes and any other indebtedness and obligations of ours which will be due before the estimated commencement date of operations of Le Rêve have been included in our estimate of the total development cost.
Of the estimated $2.4 billion total development cost for Le Rêve, the design and construction costs are budgeted to be approximately $1.4 billion, including the cost of constructing the golf course and principal parking garage. The remaining approximately $1 billion of development costs includes costs such as pre-opening costs, entertainment production costs, site acquisition costs, construction period interest, financing fees and certain furniture, fixtures and equipment, such as slot machines, computer equipment and kitchen and dining supplies.
In an effort to manage our construction risk, we have entered into a guaranteed maximum price construction contract with Marnell Corrao covering approximately $919 million of the budgeted $1.4 billion design and construction cost. The $919 million guaranteed maximum price is subject to increases because of, among other things, scope changes to the project. Although we have determined the overall scope and design of Le Rêve, not all of the plans and specifications for the construction components that are the subject of the guaranteed maximum price contract have been finalized and, under certain circumstances, we will be responsible for excess costs with respect to these components. See
81
"Construction Contracts for Le Rêve" and "Risk FactorsRisks Associated with Our Construction of Le Rêve."
Approximately $488 million of the $1.4 billion budgeted design and construction cost expenditures are not part of the Marnell Corrao guaranteed maximum price contract. These budgeted costs include:
We are responsible for these components of the budget, including any cost overruns with respect to these components. Of this remaining $488 million of budgeted design and construction costs, we have spent approximately 8.4% to date. We have received bids with respect to items comprising another approximately 36.6% of these remaining budgeted costs (though we have not accepted these bids and therefore the bids are subject to change). Accordingly, we have spent money or received non-binding bids for a total of approximately 45% of these remaining budgeted costs.
We have entered into a design/build contract with Bomel for the design and construction of the principal parking garage for a lump sum of $9.9 million, subject to certain exceptions, including any changes in the scope of work, force majeure or owner delays. Design work for the construction is substantially complete. We expect that construction will commence in October 2002. We are currently soliciting bids for the construction of the golf course and expect to award the contract in the fourth quarter of 2002. We expect that the newly constructed golf course will be available for play when Le Rêve opens.
We expect to lease approximately eight of the retail shops at Le Rêve to third parties and intend to provide some of our retail tenants an allowance for improvements as part of the lease arrangements. We will own and operate the remaining approximately 18 retail shops at Le Rêve and will be responsible for constructing any improvements. These construction costs and allowances are included in our design and construction budget for Le Rêve. Design and/or construction costs in excess of an allowance are intended to be the responsibility of the
82
particular retail tenant. Nevertheless, if we are unable to successfully negotiate leases consistent with our design and construction budget, we may have to fund or construct, at our cost, additional improvements in connection with the leases relating to the space.
We intend to operate most of the restaurants at Le Rêve. We plan to construct the improvements for all of the restaurants, whether managed by us or by third parties, and the costs of those improvements are included in our design and construction budget.
We believe that the overall design and construction budget of $1.4 billion is reasonable. In addition to the guaranteed maximum price provisions of the construction contract, we plan to implement specific mechanisms that are intended to reduce the risk of construction cost overruns and delays, including:
Despite these protections, design and construction costs may be significantly higher than expected. Furthermore, if we do not complete construction of Le Rêve by the scheduled completion date, which may be extended in accordance with the disbursement agreement, but not beyond September 30, 2005, except for certain limited permitted extensions due to force majeure events, we will be in default under the credit facilities and the second mortgage notes, and the holders of our indebtedness will have the right to accelerate our indebtedness and exercise other rights and remedies against us. See "Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Substantial IndebtednessWe are highly leveraged and future cash flow may not be sufficient to meet our obligations, including our obligations under the second mortgage notes, and we might have difficulty obtaining more financing."
83
Water Show Entertainment Production Agreement
We have entered into an agreement with Calitri Services and Licensing Limited Liability Company, under which Calitri will create, develop and produce the show to be presented in the Le Rêve showroom. This agreement is in the process of being amended. We expect that the agreement will be amended into two agreementsa license agreement between Wynn Las Vegas and Calitri and a production services agreement between Wynn Las Vegas and Productions du Dragon, S.A. Under the latter agreement, Productions du Dragon will be required to employ Franco Dragone as the executive producer and principal creator of the show. The concept of the show, which involves a water-based production in Le Rêve's showroom, has already been approved by Mr. Wynn and is under development and pre-production. Under the license agreement, Wynn Las Vegas will pay Calitri a $2 million creation fee, $1 million of which has been paid, and fund parts of the development and production budgets. Wynn Las Vegas will pay the remaining $1 million of the creation fee after the completion of this offering. In addition, Calitri will receive 10% of the net ticket revenue and 20% of the show's net profits. The show's net profits will include net ticket revenue and revenue from food and beverages sold in or immediately adjacent to the showroom, less the 10% of the net ticket revenue Wynn Las Vegas must pay to Calitri, amortization of construction costs and other operating expenses. Under the production services agreement, when amended, Productions du Dragon will receive an additional 30% of the show's net profits. Under the license agreement, it is further expected that Wynn Las Vegas will have the sole and exclusive right to license and/or manufacture and sell products and souvenirs related to the show. In return for this right, Calitri will receive 10% of the retail selling price, less certain costs, of all retail sales of these products and 50% of the before tax profits, less certain costs, generated by all non-retail sales of these products. However, it is also currently contemplated that, if the production fails to satisfy certain revenue requirements, Wynn Las Vegas will be able to terminate the license agreement prior to the end of its term. In addition, it is contemplated that the agreement, as amended, will provide Wynn Las Vegas with an option to renew the agreement for an additional five-year term. The production services agreement terminates upon termination of the license agreement unless the option for the second production or other project described below is exercised and a separate production services agreement for that second production or other project has not been executed.
We have also paid Calitri $1 million for an option with respect to a second production for Le Rêve or for another project. We anticipate that Wynn Las Vegas or one of Wynn Resorts' other subsidiaries will be required to pay an additional $1 million if we exercise the option. If the option is exercised, the optionee will be obligated to use Productions du Dragon for production services.
Following the completion of this offering and the offering of Wynn Resorts' common stock, Wynn Resorts plans to grant Mr. Dragone an award of 189,723 shares of restricted stock. This restricted stock award is intended to be part of the compensation paid to Mr. Dragone for his role as the executive producer and principal creator of the production. The restricted stock will vest on June 30, 2006. However, the restricted stock will not vest, but instead will be immediately cancelled and retired, if, as of June 30, 2006: (1) the complete run of the entertainment production at Le Rêve has not commenced or has been cancelled due to any act or omission of Mr. Dragone and (2) Mr. Dragone has not successfully opened another production show for Wynn Resorts or its affiliates in another venue or, if opened the complete run of such other show has been cancelled due to any act or omission of Mr. Dragone. Although the form of the restricted stock grant has not been finalized, management believes that compensation expense, based on the fair value of the stock grant at the measurement date, will be recognized and that such compensation expense will be capitalized as part of the cost of constructing the entertainment production. Because the price of the stock at the measurement date is presently unknown and the form of the agreement has yet to be finalized, management is unable to estimate the amount of compensation expense expected to be associated with the restricted stock grant at this time.
84
Growth Opportunities
We continue to explore opportunities to develop additional gaming or related businesses, in Las Vegas or other markets, whether through acquisition, investment or development. Any such development would require us to obtain additional financing. We may decide to conduct any such development through Wynn Resorts or through a line of subsidiaries separate from the Le Rêve entities.
Las Vegas Market
Overview. Las Vegas is one of the fastest growing leisure, lodging and entertainment markets in the country. Las Vegas hotel occupancy rates are among the highest of any major market in the United States. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the number of visitors traveling to Las Vegas has continued to increase at a steady and significant rate. The number of visitors increased from approximately 29.6 million in 1996 to approximately 35.0 million in 2001, a compound annual growth rate of 3.4%. Aggregate expenditures by these visitors increased at a compound annual growth rate of 7.0%, from approximately $22.5 billion in 1996 to approximately $31.6 billion in 2001. The number of residents in Clark County, the greater Las Vegas area, has increased from 1,115,940 residents in 1996 to 1,425,723 residents in 2000, a compound annual growth rate of 5.0%.
Expanding Hotel and Gaming Market. Las Vegas has one of the strongest and most resilient hotel markets in the country and, according to the American Gaming Association, has the highest casino gaming revenue in the United States. Major properties on the Las Vegas Strip that have opened over the past ten years include Bellagio, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, New York-New York Hotel and Casino, Paris Las Vegas, Aladdin Resort & Casino and The Venetian. In addition, a number of existing properties on the Las Vegas Strip embarked on expansions during this period including MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, Luxor Hotel and Casino, Circus Circus Hotel, Casino and Theme Park, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino and Caesars Palace. Despite this significant increase in the supply of hotel rooms in Las Vegas, hotel total occupancy rates for all days exceeded on average 90.6% for the years 1990 to 1999, averaged 92.5% in 2000 and 88.9% in 2001.
According to the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, Las Vegas Strip gaming revenue has increased from approximately $3.6 billion in 1996 to approximately $4.7 billion in 2001, a
85
compound annual growth rate of 5.6%. As a result of the increased popularity of gaming, Las Vegas has sought to increase its popularity as an overall vacation resort destination. The number of hotel rooms in Las Vegas has increased by 30.6% from 80,952 in 1996 to 105,702 in 2001.
We believe that the growth in the Las Vegas market has been enhanced as a result of a dedicated program by both the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and major Las Vegas hotels to promote Las Vegas as a major vacation and convention site and the increased capacity of McCarran International Airport.
Growth of Non-Gaming Revenue Expenditures. The Las Vegas market continues to evolve from its historical gaming focus to broader entertainment and leisure offerings. In addition to the traditional attractiveness of gaming, the market is continuing to expand to include retail, fine dining, sporting activities, major concerts and other forms of entertainment. This diversification has contributed to the growth of the market and broadened the universe of individuals who would consider Las Vegas as a vacation destination. The more diversified entertainment and leisure offerings present significant growth opportunities. In particular, the newer, large theme-destination resorts have been designed to capitalize on this development by providing better quality hotel rooms at higher rates and by providing expanded shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities to their patrons, in addition to gaming.
Las Vegas as a Convention Center Attraction. According to Tradeshow Week 200, an annual publication that analyzes the 200 largest trade shows in the United States, Las Vegas was the most popular trade show destination in the United States with a 28.4% market share of the Tradeshow Week 200 shows in terms of net square footage and one of the most popular convention destinations in the United States in 2001. In 1996, approximately 3.3 million persons attended conventions in Las Vegas, providing approximately $3.9 billion in non-gaming trade show and convention revenue. By 2001, the number of convention attendees increased to more than 4 million, providing approximately $4.8 billion in non-gaming and trade show and convention revenue.
Trade shows are held for the purpose of getting sellers and buyers of products or services together in order to conduct business. Trade shows differ from conventions in that trade shows typically require substantial amounts of space for exhibition purposes and participant
86
circulation. Conventions generally are gatherings of companies or groups that require less space for breakout meetings and general meetings of the overall group. Las Vegas offers trade shows and conventions a unique infrastructure for handling the world's largest shows. This includes a concentration of approximately 72,000 hotel rooms located on the Las Vegas Strip, two of the largest convention centers in the United Statesthe Las Vegas Convention Center and the Sands Expo and Convention Centerwith a total of over 4 million square feet of convention and exhibition space, convenient air service from major cities throughout the United States and other countries and significant entertainment attractions. In addition to the Sands Expo and Convention Center and the Las Vegas Convention Center, the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino has constructed a conference and meeting facility of approximately 380,000 gross square feet. The Mirage has recently added approximately 90,000 gross square feet of meeting space, and Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino has begun construction of an approximately 1.8 million square foot convention center with an estimated completion date in early 2003. We believe that Las Vegas will continue to evolve as one of the country's preferred trade show and convention destinations.
Statistics on the Las Vegas Gaming Industry. The following table sets forth certain information derived from published reports of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and the Nevada State Gaming Control Board concerning Las Vegas Strip gaming revenue and visitor volume and hotel data for the years 1996 to 2001. As shown in the table, the Las Vegas market has achieved significant growth in visitor volume and tourist revenue.

Competition in Las Vegas
Hotel/Casino Competition. The casino/hotel industry is highly competitive. Le Rêve, which will be located on the Las Vegas Strip, will compete with other high-quality resorts and hotel casinos in Las Vegas on the basis of overall atmosphere, range of amenities, level of service, price, location, entertainment offered, theme and size. Le Rêve will compete with
87
hotels on the Las Vegas Strip and those in downtown Las Vegas, as well as a large number of hotels and motels in and near Las Vegas.
In June 2003, The Venetian expects to complete a 1,000-room hotel tower on top of the resort's existing parking garage. Also, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino has announced that it expects to begin construction of a 1,122-room, all-suite tower connected to the current hotel casino resort in September 2002, with an expected opening in October 2003. MGM Mirage has announced that it will begin construction in mid-2003 of an approximately 925-room "spa tower" addition to Bellagio, as well as expand Bellagio's spa and salon, meeting space and retail space, with an expected completion in December 2004. Other than the expansions of The Venetian, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, and Bellagio, we are not aware of any significant additions of hotel rooms to major hotel casino resort properties in Las Vegas or any developments of new major hotel casino resort properties in Las Vegas in the near future.
Many competing properties, such as Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Luxor Hotel and Casino, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, The Mirage, Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino, New York-New York Hotel and Casino, Paris Las Vegas, Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, Treasure Island at The Mirage and The Venetian, have themes and attractions which draw a significant number of visitors and will directly compete with our operations. Some of these facilities are operated by companies that have more than one operating facility and may have greater name recognition and financial and marketing resources than us and target the same demographic group as we will. We will seek to differentiate Le Rêve from other major Las Vegas resorts by concentrating on our fundamental elements of design, atmosphere, personal service and level of luxury.
Las Vegas casinos also compete, to some extent, with other hotel/casino facilities in Nevada and in Atlantic City, riverboat gaming facilities in other states, hotel/casino facilities elsewhere in the world, state lotteries, Internet gaming and other forms of gaming. In addition, certain states recently have legalized, and others may or are likely to legalize, casino gaming in specific areas. Passage of the Tribal Government Gaming and Economic Self-Sufficiency Act in 1988 has led to rapid increases in Native American gaming operations. Also, in March 2000, California voters approved an amendment to the California Constitution allowing federally recognized Native American tribes to conduct and operate slot machines, lottery games and banked and percentage card games on Native American land in California. As a result, casino-style gaming on tribal lands is growing and could become a significant competitive force. The proliferation of Native American gaming in California could have a negative impact on our operations. The proliferation of gaming activities in other areas could significantly harm our business as well. In particular, the legalization of casino gaming in or near metropolitan areas, such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston, from which we intend to attract customers, could have a substantial negative effect on our business. In addition, new or renovated casinos in Macau or elsewhere in Asia could draw Asian gaming customers, including high-rollers, away from Las Vegas.
Our casino will also compete, to some extent, with other forms of gaming on both a local and national level, including state-sponsored lotteries, on-and off-track wagering and card parlors. The expansion of legalized gaming to new jurisdictions throughout the United States will also increase competition we face and will continue to do so in the future. Additionally, if gaming is legalized in jurisdictions near our property or our target markets where it currently is not permitted, we will face additional competition.
Retail Competition. Le Rêve's retail stores will operate in a highly competitive environment. Le Rêve's retail stores will compete with other retail stores located in other Las Vegas hotel casino resorts and shopping districts. Among these Las Vegas shopping locations,
88
Le Rêve will face significant competition from the retail stores at Bellagio, the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, which is expected to complete a 200,000 square foot expansion in 2004, The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and Desert Passage at Aladdin Resort & Casino. In particular, Le Rêve's retail stores will face competition from the premium retail stores of the Fashion Show Mall, which is owned by The Rouse Company, a publicly traded company. The Fashion Show Mall, which is situated across the Las Vegas Strip from Le Rêve, is currently undergoing an extensive remodeling and expansion program, reportedly increasing its size from approximately 773,000 square feet to nearly 2 million square feet. Beginning in November 2002, the Fashion Show Mall is expected to contain an approximately 180,000 square foot Nordstrom and a flagship store of Bloomingdale's Home & Furniture. The expansion of the Fashion Show Mall is expected to be completed in October 2003 with a new Lord & Taylor and is expected to include a total of approximately 300 shops. In addition, Le Rêve's retail stores will compete with outlet shopping areas located on the way to Las Vegas from Los Angeles and other places, which tend to offer merchandise at discounted prices.
Our retail stores will compete on the basis of, among other things, the location of our stores, the breadth, quality, style, and availability of merchandise, the level of customer service offered and merchandise price. We will also compete with other retail properties for retail businesses on the basis of the rent charged and location.
We believe that our retail operations will generate approximately 5% of our total revenue. However, we will face significant competition in this market area. Any increase in our competitors' market share for retail customers in Las Vegas could negatively impact our operations in a significant manner. See "Risk FactorsGeneral Risks Associated with Our BusinessThe casino, hotel, convention and other facilities at Le Rêve will face intense competition."
Marketing in Las Vegas
Our marketing strategy consists of positioning Le Rêve as a full-service luxury resort and casino in the leisure, convention and tour and travel markets. Prior to the opening of Le Rêve, we will create general market awareness about Le Rêve's product offerings through conventions and media, including television, radio, newspapers, magazines, internet, direct mail and billboards. We also expect that the third party retail tenants will engage in their own general advertising and promotional activity, which we expect will benefit all of Le Rêve's retail shops.
We believe that Le Rêve will attract wealthy international and domestic gaming customers due in part to the high degree of customer recognition and guest loyalty that we believe Mr. Wynn has developed over the last two decades by operating some of the signature properties on the Las Vegas strip. In addition, we currently employ experienced international and domestic casino marketing executives. We believe that Mr. Wynn's reputation will allow us to continue to attract marketing executives of this caliber.
Le Rêve plans to have marketing executives located in local offices in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan, Europe, New York and southern California, as well as independent marketing representatives in major U.S. and foreign cities. We also plan to develop a guest loyalty program at Le Rêve that will integrate in real-time, all gaming, hotel, food, beverage and retail revenue of a particular guest and compare it against incurred expenses to determine the profitability of that guest. We will use this program to implement a rewards system that offers discounted and complimentary meals, lodging and entertainment for our guests. We will also use that information to develop an integrated database that will allow us to target specific customers for promotions that might induce them to visit Le Rêve.
89
Seasonality
We do not consider our Las Vegas business to be particularly seasonal. However, we expect that our revenue and cash flow may be slightly reduced during the summer months due to the tendency of Las Vegas room rates to be lower at that time of the year.
Employees
We currently employ approximately 200 employees in the U.S. We anticipate that when Le Rêve opens, we will employ nearly 8,000 employees in connection with the operation of Le Rêve. As a result, we will need to undertake a major recruiting and training program before the opening. However, we believe that we will be able to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified individuals to operate the hotel and casino. We will pay competitive market wages to our employees.
Currently, Valvino is a party to several collective bargaining agreements with several different unions which it assumed in connection with the acquisition of the Desert Inn Resort & Casino. All of these agreements will expire before the scheduled opening of Le Rêve. However, the unions may seek to organize the workers at Le Rêve or claim that the agreements assumed in connection with Valvino's acquisition of the Desert Inn Resort & Casino obligate Wynn Las Vegas to enter into negotiations with one or more of the unions to represent the workers at Le Rêve. Unionization or pressure to unionize could increase our labor costs.
Trademarks and Service Marks
Our most important marks are LE RÊVE for hotel services and LE RÊVE for casino services. We have purchased the common-law name and mark "LE RÊVE" from a California trust operating a hotel by that name. This purchase removed the California trust as a prior user with superior rights. We have also applied to register the "LE RÊVE" service mark in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, referred to as the PTO, for hotel services. Our application for the LE RÊVE hotel mark has cleared the PTO examination process. It was "published for opposition." On August 16, 2002, a request for extension of time to oppose was filed with the PTO. If granted, the initial request for extension of time to oppose expires on October 15, 2002. The potential opposer is entitled to file an additional request for extension of time to oppose for an additional 30 days. Further extensions of time to oppose are allowed only with our consent. If no opposition is filed, or if an opposition is filed, but is settled or the potential opposer does not prevail, LE RÊVE will be registered for hotel services, and restaurant, bar, lounge and health spa services.
We have also applied to register the "LE RÊVE" service mark with the PTO for combined casino and entertainment services. Because the PTO translates "LE RÊVE" as "THE DREAM", it has cited certain "DREAM" marks as a basis for preliminarily refusing to allow some of our "LE RÊVE" applications, including this application, to proceed toward registration. The PTO's objection to this application appears to relate solely to entertainment services, and not casino services. Accordingly, we have divided the application to register LE RÊVE for casino services from entertainment services and, therefore, the application for casino services should not be subject to the objections to entertainment services.
In addition, we have applied to register this mark for other uses, including gift shop items, retail services, clothing, golf balls and golf accessories, toys, tote bags, mugs, and others, none of which, individually, will be material to our business. Our application for Le Rêve retail services was preliminarily refused based on a prior registration of Le Reve in connection with wines. Each of these applications is pending. None of the non-hotel and non-casino
90
applications for LE RÊVE are for goods or services that would, if finally rejected, have a material impact on our business.
Even if we are able to obtain registration of the LE RÊVE mark for the above-described applications, such federal registration is not completely dispositive of the right to such trademarks. Third parties who claim prior rights with respect to DREAM marks or to marks similar to LE RÊVE may nonetheless challenge our use of LE RÊVE and seek to overcome the presumptions afforded by such registrations. They also could attempt to prevent our use of LE RÊVE and/or seek monetary damages as a result of our use.
Properties
Las Vegas Land. We currently own approximately 212 acres of land on or near the Las Vegas Strip on the site of the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino. Le Rêve will total approximately 192 acres consisting of approximately 55 acres, owned by Wynn Las Vegas, at the northeast corner of the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sands Avenue and the approximately 137-acre golf course, owned by Wynn Resorts Holdings, to be constructed behind the hotel. The balance of the 212 acres consists of an additional parcel of approximately 20 acres fronting Las Vegas Boulevard next to the Le Rêve site, owned by Valvino, that is available for future development once this parcel is released from the liens under the credit facilities and the second mortgage notes.
We will use the 20-acre parcel while we are constructing Le Rêve for our corporate offices, pre-opening activities, recruiting and employment purposes and employee parking. If we meet prescribed cash flow tests for four consecutive calendar quarters after commencement of operations at Le Rêve, the 20-acre parcel will be released from the liens under the credit facilities and second mortgage notes and could be transferred to Wynn Resorts or another entity. In addition, the lenders under the credit facilities may release the liens on the 20-acre parcel if we meet these prescribed cash flow tests for two consecutive calendar quarters after commencement of operation at Le Rêve and, in such event the liens of the second mortgage noteholders in the 20-acre parcel would be automatically released. In that event, Wynn Resorts or the other entity may decide to develop the parcel in the future, either on its own or through a joint venture. For example, in the future, Wynn Resorts or another entity may decide to develop a second hotel casino as a Phase II development on the parcel to take advantage of the substantial infrastructure and amenities planned for Le Rêve. The Le Rêve design will include a major access corridor that could be used to connect a Phase II development to Le Rêve.
Similarly, three years after commencement of operations at Le Rêve and upon our satisfaction of prescribed maximum leverage ratio and minimum credit rating requirements, the land underlying the golf course, which is owned by Wynn Resorts Holdings, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Valvino, will be released from the liens under the credit facilities and the indenture governing the second mortgage notes and could be transferred by Wynn Resorts Holdings to Wynn Resorts or another entity. In addition, portions of the golf course land may be released from the liens to permit residential or other non-gaming development if we satisfy prescribed cash flow tests for a full fiscal year after Le Rêve commences operation and the development does not interfere with the use of the golf course and otherwise could not reasonably be expected to materially impair the overall value of Le Rêve.
Las Vegas Water Rights. Valvino indirectly owns approximately 949 acre-feet of certificated water rights through its indirect subsidiary, Desert Inn Improvement Co. We plan to use this water for general irrigation purposes including irrigation of the golf course. Desert Inn Improvement Co. also currently provides water service to the existing office building on
91
the site of the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino and the remaining homes around the golf course. As a result of its service obligations to the remaining homes, Desert Inn Improvement Co. is a public utility under Nevada law and is subject to regulatory restrictions imposed by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada. See "Risk FactorsGeneral Risks Associated with Our BusinessWe will be subject to regulatory control by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada." Desert Inn Improvement Co. does not use these water rights to provide water to its public utility customers.
Valvino directly owns an additional approximately 36 acre-feet of certificated water rights. This water will be used to supply the water for the Le Rêve lake, subject to the approval of the Nevada State Engineer. There are significant cost savings and conservation benefits associated with using water supplied pursuant to our water rights.
We plan to transfer the water rights owned by Desert Inn Improvement Co. and Valvino to Wynn Resorts Holdings and Wynn Las Vegas for use in connection with the golf course and the Le Rêve lake, subject to approval by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada and the Nevada State Division of Water Resources.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of the ordinary course of business.
In addition, Valvino is currently involved in litigation related to its ownership and development of the former Desert Inn golf course and the residential lots around the golf course. Valvino acquired some, but not all, of the residential lots located in the interior of and around the former Desert Inn golf course when it acquired the former Desert Inn Resort & Casino from Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. Valvino later acquired all of the remaining lots located in the interior of, and some of the remaining lots around, the former Desert Inn golf course. In total, Valvino acquired 63 of the 75 residential lots, with Clark County having acquired two of the lots through eminent domain in 1994 as part of the widening of Desert Inn Road. The residential lots, previously known collectively as the Desert Inn Country Club Estates, were subject to various conditions, covenants and restrictions recorded against the lots in 1956 and amended from time to time since then.
On October 31, 2000, Ms. Stephanie Swain, as trustee of the Mark Swain Revocable Trust, and some of the other homeowners whose lots Valvino did not purchase filed an action in Clark County District Court against Valvino and the then directors of the Desert Inn Country Club Estates Homeowners' Association. The plaintiffs are seeking various forms of declaratory relief concerning the continued governance of the homeowners' association. In addition, the plaintiffs have challenged the termination in June 2001 of the conditions, covenants and restrictions recorded against the residential lots. The plaintiffs also seek to establish certain easement rights that Ms. Swain and the other homeowners claim to possess. Specifically, the remaining homeowners seek to establish easement rights to enter upon the golf course for exercise and other leisure purposes, and to use the perimeter roadways for entrance and exit purposes. At least two of the plaintiffs also have alleged the existence of an equitable implied restriction prohibiting any alternative commercial development of the golf course. Two subsequent actions were filed, one by Ms. Swain against certain homeowners' association members and one by Valvino seeking declaratory and injunctive relief similar to the original action. Because the issues in the subsequent actions are present in the original action, both of the subsequent actions have been stayed pending the outcome of the original action.
The trial in this matter currently is scheduled for February 2003. The court has, nonetheless, entered several preliminary injunction orders concerning the parties' respective
92
property rights. Among other things, the court has ordered that Valvino is free to develop the golf course and the remainder of its property as it deems fit, subject to all applicable legal restraints. In that regard, Valvino was permitted to remove all homes and structures on its properties surrounding the golf course and those located on the Country Club Lane cul de sac, which ran to the interior of the golf course. Valvino has removed all structures that were on its lots, together with the cul-de-sac, and has relandscaped the property to blend into the existing golf course. The court has also entered an order prohibiting Ms. Swain from filing a lis pendens against the golf course property. A lis pendens is a notice filed on public records to warn all persons that the title to certain property is in litigation and that the effect of such litigation will be binding on the owner of the property.
The plaintiffs have sought, and successfully obtained, a preliminary injunction to compel Valvino to subsidize security to homeowners who reside near the project. Valvino has appealed this ruling and the issue is now pending before the Nevada Supreme Court.
Discovery in this case is currently ongoing. Valvino is vigorously contesting all of the homeowners' claims and will continue to do so. However, if the plaintiffs prevail on their claims and the conditions, covenants and restrictions on the lots remain in effect, we may have to adjust our current plans for the construction of the Le Rêve golf course by redesigning some of the holes located on the periphery of the course. In addition, if the court finds that there is an implied equitable restriction on the golf course lots, any future development of the golf course parcel for an alternative use may be restricted.

CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS FOR LE RÊVE
The following discussion summarizes the material terms of our construction contracts. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the contracts themselves.
Construction of the Hotel/Casino
Overview
We have entered into a construction agreement with Marnell Corrao, the contractor, for construction services for a substantial portion of the construction, but not design, of Le Rêve, excluding the principal parking garage and the golf course construction, for a guaranteed maximum price. The guaranteed maximum price is approximately $919 million (subject to various contingent adjustments). The guaranteed maximum price includes:
The guaranteed date of substantial completion is 910 calendar days from the date we direct Marnell Corrao by written notice to commence construction.
Although we have determined the overall scope and general design of Le Rêve, not all of the plans and specifications for the construction components that are the subject of the guaranteed maximum price contract have been finalized. Specifically, the approximately $919 million maximum price includes construction components totaling approximately $493.5 million for which detailed plans have not yet been finalized. The guaranteed maximum price for these components is based on master concept plans and agreed upon design and other premises and assumptions for the detailed plans to be created for the remaining components. If the plans for these components do not substantially conform to the premises and assumptions described in the construction contract, or if we request change orders with respect to these components or any component for which there are final plans or defects or deficiencies in the architectural plans or concealed conditions, we will be responsible for the excess costs. For example, if the initial drawings, when finalized, are inconsistent with the premises and assumptions, we will be responsible for the increase, if any, in the cost to construct the work covered by those drawings over the previously agreed upon amounts designated for such work in the guaranteed maximum price, even if the drawings are redesigned to be consistent with the premises and assumptions. The premises and assumptions reflect general concepts and techniques pursuant to which the contractor will construct Le Rêve. However, the premises and assumptions may not be sufficiently specific so as to determine, as between the contractor and us, who is responsible for cost overruns in specific situations.
As of the date of this prospectus, and with regard to a portion of the construction budget covered by the Marnell Corrao construction contract:
94
plant, meeting rooms and warehouse space, which represents approximately $388 million of the construction components covered by the construction contract;
Drawings for the interior work on the project have not been finished. If the cost to complete the interior work exceeds budgeted amounts, the excess will not be covered by the guaranteed maximum price contract and, accordingly, we will be responsible for these excess costs.
There are also certain permit and similar fees and costs of approximately $13.8 million which are not Marnell Corrao's responsibility and are not a part of the guaranteed maximum price, but are our responsibility.
The construction contract calls for the cost of the work provided by Marnell Corrao to be at the lowest reasonably available prices obtainable by Marnell Corrao's best efforts, unless we have given prior written consent to incur higher expenses.
If we reasonably believe at any time, based on the progress of the work and the cost of the work, that the work cannot be completed for the guaranteed maximum price, we have the right after certain notice periods to require Marnell Corrao to provide us with satisfactory evidence of funds available to Marnell Corrao to pay any anticipated overages.
Due to the lack of final plans for substantial portions of the project, the construction contract does not require Marnell Corrao to adhere to specific cost limits on a line item basis. Rather, it only obligates Marnell Corrao to complete the construction within an overall guaranteed maximum price subject to certain general balancing and other requirements. Therefore, subject to the general balancing requirements of the construction contract, there is a risk that the funds earmarked for the guaranteed maximum price could be exhausted before substantial completion of the project should Marnell Corrao spend greater amounts on certain line items in the earlier stages of construction. In addition, the disbursement agreement and the credit facilities will contain balancing provisions requiring us to demonstrate, as a condition to every release or drawdown of funds, that we have sufficient funds available to cover all remaining construction costs, plus required contingency, in accordance with our construction budget. Accordingly, if Marnell Corrao spends greater amounts than anticipated in respect of any component of the work, we may be denied further access to the proceeds of the second mortgage notes and further drawings under the credit facilities.
We will continue to evaluate the project design in relation to its construction schedule and budget and the demands of the Las Vegas tourist and gaming market. Accordingly, the design of individual elements of Le Rêve may be refined from the descriptions contained in this prospectus.
95
Potential Increases in the Guaranteed Maximum Price
The construction contract with Marnell Corrao provides that the guaranteed maximum price will be appropriately increased, and the deadline for completion of construction will be appropriately adjusted, on account of, among other circumstances:
We will commence construction of Le Rêve before all plans and specifications will be completed. Delays in completing the remaining drawings and specifications could cause delays in the substantial completion of the work and, under specific circumstances, could defer the contractor's obligation to deliver the completed project by the scheduled completion date.
Cost overruns could cause us to be "out of balance" under the second mortgage notes, credit facilities and FF&E facility and, consequently, unable to obtain funds from the second mortgage note proceeds secured account or to draw down under the credit facilities or the FF&E facility. If we cannot obtain these funds, we will not be able to open Le Rêve to the general public on schedule or at all. Given that we are required to use the proceeds of the second mortgage notes in full before borrowing under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility, if any such "out of balance" event occurs in the latter stages of construction, the second mortgage note holders would be fully exposed and the lenders under our credit facilities and FF&E facility would have no obligation to commence or continue funding loans under their respective facilities.
When we finalize plans or specifications in the future, we may discover that we need to obtain additional funding, which may not be available on satisfactory terms or at all, or we may choose to reduce the scope of the work and design components to reduce the costs of constructing the project. Any such reduction in scope would be subject, under specified circumstances, to obtaining the consent of the lenders under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility and the second mortgage note holders as required under the disbursement agreement.
Competitive Bids
Unless we specify otherwise, subcontractors will be selected after a bidding process that includes, to the extent practicable, at least three bidders from a list of bidders provided by Marnell Corrao. Marnell Corrao will submit the various bids received from prospective subcontractors, all information available to Marnell Corrao with respect to the bids and prospective subcontractors and Marnell Corrao's recommendation of the prospective subcontractor for the contract. We, with Marnell Corrao's assistance, will select each subcontractor based on this information. If we select a subcontractor other than one recommended by Marnell Corrao, and there is a difference in the bids of the subcontractor we select above stated thresholds, the guaranteed maximum price may be increased.
96
Substantial Completion
Marnell Corrao is responsible for achieving "substantial completion" of the work by a guaranteed date of substantial completion. Substantial completion is defined in the construction contract as the stage in the progress of the development of Le Rêve when it is sufficiently complete, including the receipt of necessary permits, licenses and approvals, so that all aspects of Le Rêve covered by the construction contract can be open to the general public. As mentioned earlier, under the construction contract, the guaranteed date of substantial completion is 910 calendar days from the date we direct Marnell Corrao by written notice to commence construction. This period is referred to in the construction contract as the "contract time," and may only be adjusted in accordance with the construction contract. The contract time may be extended, among other reasons, due to force majeure events as noted below, and changes by us in the scope of the work.
Plans for a substantial portion of the approximately $919 million guaranteed maximum price construction budget have not been finalized. Delays in completing the remaining drawings and specifications could cause delays in the substantial completion of the work and, under certain circumstances, could defer Marnell Corrao's obligation to deliver the completed project by the scheduled completion date.
Construction Contract Guaranty
Austi, the parent company of Marnell Corrao, has agreed to provide a continuing guaranty by which Austi guarantees Marnell Corrao's full performance and payment obligations under the construction contract until final payment under that contract. Austi is a private company controlled by the Anthony A. Marnell II family.
Force Majeure and Owner Delay
Under certain circumstances, the contract may allow Marnell Carrao an extension of the contract time. These circumstances include:
Payment and Performance Bond
Under the construction contract, Marnell Corrao is required to obtain a performance and payment bond in the amount of $150 million, covering its performance of the construction contract and payment of obligations thereunder. The construction contract requires Marnell Corrao to obtain this bond no later than five business days after it receives written notice from us to commence construction and, in any event, prior to the commencement of the work. The performance and payment bond will be issued by a bonding company with an A.M. Best Co. rating of A XV or better, and will name us and the lenders and agents relating to the lenders under the credit facilities and the trustee on behalf of the second mortgage note holders as obligees and beneficiaries. After it is issued, the performance and payment bond
97
may not be increased or decreased unless we approve in advance. Certain of the subcontractors performing work for Marnell Corrao on the project will also be bonded.
Early or Late Completion
If Marnell Corrao achieves substantial completion of the work before the guaranteed date of substantial completion without increasing the cost of the work to achieve such early completion, we will pay Marnell Corrao an early completion bonus equal to $50,000 per day for each day before the guaranteed date of substantial completion that the work was substantially completed. The amount of the early completion bonus will not exceed $1 million.
If Marnell Corrao fails to achieve substantial completion of the work within the contract time, Marnell Corrao will pay us, as liquidated damages, $300,000 per day beginning on the sixth day after the guaranteed substantial completion date and continuing every day thereafter until substantial completion of the work is achieved or the total amount of liquidated damages equals $9 million. Marnell Corrao's liability to us for damages arising solely from delays caused by Marnell Corrao or for which Marnell Corrao is responsible, will not exceed $9 million as provided in the construction contract. We cannot assure you that construction will be completed on schedule and, if completion of the construction is delayed beyond the five-day grace period, our actual damages likely will exceed $300,000 per day.
Payment
Marnell Corrao must make an itemized application for payment based on an approved schedule of values. Payment of the application is subject to approval by us and our lenders, based on the conditions of the construction contract. Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Nevada Revised Statutes, the construction contract allows us to withhold amounts from any payments due to Marnell Corrao which we determine to be necessary to protect us against liens until the liens are bonded or otherwise discharged. See "Risk FactorsRisks Associated with Our Construction of Le RêveThe development costs of Le Rêve are estimates only, and actual development costs may be higher than expected." We are entitled to retain 10% of all monies due to subcontractors under the monthly applications for payment until the work is complete, though there is no retainage on payments to Marnell Corrao or vendors. However, after 50% of the scope of the work is complete, we may elect to reduce the level of retention for selected subcontractors under certain conditions and subject to the approval of our lenders.
Warranties and Guarantees
Marnell Corrao's general construction warranty and guarantee extends for one year after substantial completion of the work. Marnell Corrao guarantees that its construction workmanship will be first class in quality, free from all faults and defects, and that the work will comply with the construction contract requirements and all applicable laws, codes and regulations. Marnell Corrao also guarantees that all materials, equipment, mechanical devices and supplies incorporated into the work will be new and will strictly meet the specifications and requirements of the construction contract. Marnell Corrao's warranty excludes damages or defects caused by ordinary wear and tear, insufficient maintenance, improper operation or improper use by us. Furthermore, Marnell Corrao warrants that it has substantial experience in performing major projects with scopes of work similar to Le Rêve, and, where required by law, is licensed to perform the work.
The construction contract with Marnell Corrao provides that the one year period of its general construction warranty is not a limitation on any of Marnell Corrao's other obligations
98
under the construction contract or applicable law. Further, the one year period is not intended to reduce the period of any other similar warranty or guaranty that may apply at law or otherwise to work on the project by Marnell Corrao or any subcontractor. The current Nevada limitations period for claims relating to defective work which might arise under the express warranty extends beyond the one year warranty period provided in the construction contract. The construction contract also provides that we shall have the benefit of all vendor and subcontractor warranties relating to the work. Marnell Corrao will assign to us all subcontractor warranties and/or guarantees. Marnell Corrao also agrees to assist us in prosecuting the enforcement of all subcontractor and vendor warranties. Thus, it is anticipated that we may have available to us one or more avenues of potential recourse, including under governing law and subcontractor and vendor warranties, for defective work first discovered after the one year express warranty expires.
Insurance
Through the owner-controlled insurance program, we will pay for and maintain builder's risk and "wrap-up" liability insurance upon Marnell Corrao's and all subcontractors' work at the site. This insurance includes:
The owner-controlled insurance program will be for the benefit of us, Marnell Corrao and its subcontractors, unless specifically excluded, who have on-site employees. It is anticipated that the lenders under the credit facilities and the trustee on behalf of the second mortgage note holders will be required to be named as additional insureds under the insurance required to be carried under the construction contract. This coverage applies only to work performed under the construction contract at the site. Participation in the owner-controlled insurance program will be mandatory. Marnell Corrao is required to, and is required to cause all of the subcontractors to, complete all forms, submit the information required and comply with the terms of the owner-controlled insurance program manual. No exceptions can be made to this requirement without our prior approval.
Additional Insurance
Additionally, Marnell Corrao is required to, and is required to cause the subcontractors to, obtain and maintain the following, which are not included in the owner-controlled insurance program:
Also, included as a cost of the work, and thus within the guaranteed maximum price, is our obligation to reimburse Marnell Corrao for certain other additional insurance maintained by Marnell Corrao and described in the construction contract. The cost of all such additional insurance described herein is included within the guaranteed maximum price and such cost shall be substantiated to our satisfaction. To the extent that this additional insurance is related to Marnell Corrao's work on the project, Wynn Las Vegas will be named as an additional insured.
99
Ineligible Parties and Termination of the Owner-Controlled Insurance Program
We have the right to terminate or to modify the owner-controlled insurance program upon 30 days advance written notice to Marnell Corrao and each subcontractor covered by the owner-controlled insurance program. If Marnell Corrao or any subcontractor fails to, or is ineligible to, enroll in the owner-controlled insurance program or the owner-controlled insurance program is terminated, Marnell Corrao and the subcontractors must provide, pay for and maintain the following types of coverage in accordance with the requirements of the construction contract, including as to coverage amounts, and in addition to the additional insurance noted above:
For all of these policies, Marnell Corrao and all subcontractors must obtain a waiver of subrogation, where allowed by law, against us and all other named insureds and their agents and employees.
Indemnification
Marnell Corrao has agreed to indemnify us, our affiliates and our lenders (including trustees and agents relating to the lenders under the credit facilities and the trustee on behalf of the second mortgage note holders) from all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, suits, actions, legal proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, awards or judgments, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, that relate to or arise out of performance of the work or any act or omission of Marnell Corrao or any subcontractor or vendor and that are imposed by law or relate to, among other things:
In the event of contributory negligence by us and/or any indemnitee, Marnell Corrao will only be liable for payment in direct proportion to Marnell Corrao's percentage of fault, if any. Further, Marnell Corrao's indemnification obligation does not apply to a claim to the extent of any insurance proceeds actually received by the indemnitee or to a claim related to hazardous materials, subject to certain exceptions, and is limited as to liquidated damages for delay in completion of construction.
Also, under the construction contract, Wynn Las Vegas has agreed to indemnify Marnell Corrao and its affiliates from all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, suits, actions, legal proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, awards or judgments, including reasonable attorneys'
100
fees and costs suffered by or threatened against Marnell Corrao and /or its affiliates that relate to or arise out of any act or omission by us and that are imposed by law or relate to:
Certain liability limitations and releases in favor of the owner contained in the construction contract are also express limitations on the owner's indemnity obligations.
Termination of Construction Contract
Except as described below, we may cancel the construction contract or suspend, reduce, interrupt or delay, in whole or in part, the construction for our convenience at any time and under any circumstances by providing written notice to Marnell Corrao. If we cancel, suspend, reduce, interrupt or delay the construction contract, Marnell Corrao will do only the work necessary to preserve and protect the work already in progress and complete any work not cancelled, suspended, interrupted, delayed or reduced, and cancel all existing orders to vendors and subcontractors relating to terminated work. With respect to such cancellation, suspension, reduction, interruption or delay, the construction contract provides that we have no liability to Marnell Corrao or any subcontractor or vendor for, and neither Marnell Corrao nor any subcontractor or vendor may make any claim for, lost profit or overhead, and they have agreed to expressly limit their remedies in such event. However, our rights to terminate, suspend or delay the construction and the limitation on Marnell Corrao's remedies conflict with express provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes and may not be enforceable. See "Risk FactorsRisks Associated with Our Construction of Le RêveThe development costs of Le Rêve are estimates only, and actual development costs may be higher than expected."
Lenders
Marnell Corrao has agreed to cooperate with all lenders, trustees, intercreditor agents, administrative agents and disbursement agents whom we designate, and will, on request, execute and deliver documents and instruments reasonably requested by those persons, including an amendment to the construction contract, so long as the amendment does not materially or substantially alter the rights, duties or obligations of Marnell Corrao and the subcontractors under the construction contract. Representatives of our lenders and the designated trustees, intercreditor agents, administrative agents and disbursement agents will also have access to the work and site and are entitled to audit Marnell Corrao, subcontractors and vendors to the same extent as we are. Material changes to the drawings, specifications, contract time and guaranteed maximum price also may be subject to approval of our lenders pursuant to the disbursement agreement.
Claims and Disputes
All claims relating to the construction contract initially must be made to us within 14 days after the claim arises. If we do not resolve the claim, the claim may be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the state or federal courts in Las Vegas or Clark County, Nevada. Pending resolution of any claim, and subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes, Marnell Corrao will continue to perform construction so long as Marnell Corrao is paid for any amounts not in dispute. See "Risk FactorsRisks Associated with Our Construction of Le RêveThe
101
development costs of Le Rêve are estimates only, and actual development costs may be higher than expected."
Construction of the Parking Garage
Wynn Las Vegas has entered into a design/build contract with Bomel for the design and construction of the principal parking garage for a lump sum of $9.9 million, subject to specified exceptions. The principal parking garage will consist of approximately 1,840 parking spaces and associated infrastructure. Design work for the construction is substantially complete. We expect that construction will commence in October 2002.
Bomel and its subcontractors will be covered by the owner-controlled insurance program to the same extent and subject to the same exceptions and requirements as Marnell Corrao and its subcontractors for the casino and hotel portion of Le Rêve. The obligations of Bomel will not be bonded.
The construction contract for the parking garage provides that the maximum cost to us for completion of Bomel's work on the garage will not exceed $9.9 million, subject to certain exceptions, including any changes in the scope of work, force majeure or owner delays. To complete the garage facility, we expect to perform additional work under our own direction, which is budgeted to cost an additional approximately $1.65 million.
Bomel's general construction warranty extends for one year, and up to five years with regard to some watertight aspects, after final completion of its work on the garage facility.
Construction of the Golf Course
We estimate that the cost to construct the golf course will be approximately $21.5 million. We currently are soliciting bids for the construction of the golf course and expect to award the contract in the fourth quarter of 2002. We cannot guarantee that our ultimate contract with a golf course contractor will contain provisions to protect us against cost overruns or delays associated with the golf course construction or that we will be able to obtain a guaranteed maximum price of $21.5 million.
102
OUR AFFILIATE'S OPPORTUNITY IN MACAU
The Macau Opportunity
Wynn Resorts owns an approximately 82.5% economic interest in Wynn Macau through a line of subsidiaries that is separate from the subsidiaries of Wynn Resorts that own Le Rêve and, accordingly, Wynn Macau is not part of the restricted group. As a result, cash flow generated by the Macau casino(s) operated by Wynn Macau may not be available to service our indebtedness, including our obligations under the second mortgage notes, or support our operations, and financing documents for the Macau opportunity may contain restrictions or prohibitions on the distribution to Wynn Resorts of any cash flow generated by the Macau casino(s). In addition, because Wynn Macau and the Macau-related subsidiaries of Wynn Resorts are owned by Wynn Resorts, which is not a guarantor of the second mortgage notes, the assets consisting of Wynn Resorts' Macau project(s) will not be included in the collateral.
Wynn Macau recently entered into a 20-year concession agreement with the government of the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China to construct and operate one or more casino gaming properties in Macau. The Macau peninsula, located in southeast China on the South China Sea, is approximately 37 miles southwest of Hong Kong. Macau has been an established gaming market for at least 40 years and, according to the U.S. & Foreign Commercial Service American Consulate General, Hong Kong, Macau's casinos generated approximately US $2.1 billion in gaming revenue in 2000. Wynn Macau currently is one of three concessionaires permitted to operate a casino gaming business in Macau.
The concession agreement requires Wynn Macau to construct and operate one or more casino gaming properties in Macau, including, at a minimum, one full-service casino resort by the end of December 2006, and invest not less than a total of 4 billion patacas (approximately US $500 million, based on the October 17, 2002 exchange rate of approximately eight Macau patacas to one U.S. dollar, which is the middle of the buy and sell rates as reported by the Monetary Authority of Macau) in Macau-related projects by June 26, 2009. Wynn Macau will not begin construction or operation of any casino in Macau until a number of objectives and conditions are met, including obtaining sufficient financing. After construction of the first phase of Wynn Macau's first casino resort, Wynn Macau intends to satisfy its remaining financial obligations under the concession agreement through the development of future phased expansions and, possibly, additional casino resorts.
Wynn Macau currently contemplates that it will develop, construct and begin operations of its initial casino resort in phases, with the first phase consisting of a casino and several food and beverage outlets. Wynn Macau has not yet determined the cost of construction of the first phase of its first casino resort. If the financing arrangements for the construction of the initial phase of the casino resort are completed and if certain necessary legislative changes have been enacted by the Macau government, Wynn Macau expects to begin construction of the first phase of its first casino resort in 2003. Accordingly, Wynn Macau could complete construction of the first phase of the casino resort and begin casino operations as early as 2004. Wynn Macau has already begun planning for the development of the initial phase of its first casino resort, including having discussions with construction contractors. The Macau government has granted to Wynn Macau the right to lease a parcel of land for its first permanent casino operations. Wynn Macau believes that this land, located in the outer harbor of downtown Macau opposite the largest, most well-known casino, the Hotel Lisboa, is an attractive location for its first Macau casino.
The government of Macau is encouraging significant foreign and domestic investment in new and expanded casino entertainment facilities in Macau to enhance its reputation as a casino resort destination, and to attract additional tourists and lengthen stays. Wynn Macau
103
believes that these efforts will provide an opportunity for growth in the Macau gaming and resort market. Gaming customers from Hong Kong, southeast China, Taiwan and other locations in Asia can reach Macau in a relatively short period of time, and visitors from more distant locations in Asia can take advantage of short travel times by air to Macau or to Hong Kong. The relatively easy access from major population centers promotes Macau as a popular gaming destination in Asia. We plan to capitalize on these favorable market trends, utilizing our significant experience in Las Vegas by providing a Steve Wynn-designed property with appropriately high service standards.
Wynn Resorts intends to invest up to $40 million of the net proceeds from its initial public offering of its common stock in Wynn Macau as part of the financing of the Macau opportunity, in addition to the approximately $23.8 million Wynn Resorts has already invested in Wynn Macau. Wynn Macau has begun preliminary discussions to arrange the additional financing that would be required to complete the initial phase of its first casino resort. At the present time, Wynn Macau has not yet determined the amount of financing that will be required to complete the initial phase.
Wynn Macau will not begin construction or operation of any casino in Macau if it does not obtain the ability to extend credit to gaming customers and enforce gaming debts in Macau and if it does not obtain relief from the complementary income tax and the withholding tax on dividends imposed in Macau. Based on Wynn Macau's discussions with government officials, it believes legislative changes relating to these matters will be introduced by early 2003. However, such proposed legislative changes may not be enacted by the Macau government.
Concession Agreement with the Government of Macau
Wynn Macau has entered into a 20-year concession agreement with the government of the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China permitting it to construct and operate one or more casinos in Macau.
We have converted all pataca references into U.S. dollars using an exchange rate of approximately eight patacas to one U.S. dollar (which is the middle of the buy and sell rates on October 17, 2002, as reported by the Monetary Authority of Macau). The key terms of the concession agreement into which Wynn Macau has entered with the Macau government are as follows:

The gaming industry is highly regulated. Gaming registrations, licenses and approvals, once obtained, can be suspended or revoked for a variety of reasons. We cannot assure you that we will obtain all required registrations, licenses and approvals on a timely basis or at all, or that, once obtained, the registrations, findings of suitability, licenses and approvals will not be suspended, conditioned, limited or revoked. See "Risk FactorsGeneral Risks Associated with Our BusinessLe Rêve will be subject to extensive state and local regulation, and licensing and gaming authorities have significant control over our operations, which could have a negative effect on our business." If we ever are prohibited from operating one of our gaming facilities, we would, to the extent permitted by law, seek to recover our investment by selling the property affected, but we cannot assure you that we would recover its full value.
Nevada
Introduction
The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities in the State of Nevada are subject to the Nevada Gaming Control Act and the regulations made under the Act, as well as to various local ordinances. Once the resort is open, Le Rêve's operations, will be subject to the licensing and regulatory control of the Nevada Gaming Commission, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board and the Clark County Liquor and Gaming License Board, which we refer to collectively as the Nevada Gaming Authorities.
Policy Concerns of Gaming Laws
The laws, regulations and supervisory procedures of the Nevada Gaming Authorities are based upon declarations of public policy. These public policy concerns include, among other things:
Changes in these laws, regulations and procedures could have significant negative effects on Le Rêve's proposed gaming operations and our financial condition and results of operations.
Owner and Operator Licensing Requirements
Before Le Rêve opens, Wynn Las Vegas, as the owner and operator of Le Rêve, will be required to seek approval from, and be licensed by, the Nevada Gaming Authorities as a limited liability company licensee, referred to as a company licensee. If Wynn Las Vegas is granted gaming licenses, it will have to pay periodic fees and taxes. The gaming licenses will not be transferable. We cannot assure you that Wynn Las Vegas will be able to obtain all approvals and licenses from the Nevada Gaming Authorities on a timely basis or at all.
106
Company Registration Requirements
Before Le Rêve opens, Wynn Resorts will be required to apply to, and be found suitable by, the Nevada Gaming Commission to own the equity interests of Valvino and to be registered by the Nevada Gaming Commission as a publicly traded corporation, referred to as a registered company, for the purposes of the Nevada Gaming Control Act. Valvino will be required to apply to, and be found suitable by, the Nevada Gaming Commission to own the equity interests of Wynn Resorts Holdings and to be registered by the Nevada Gaming Commission as an intermediary company. Wynn Resorts Holdings will also be required to apply to, and be found suitable by, the Nevada Gaming Commission to own the equity interests of Wynn Las Vegas and to be registered by the Nevada Gaming Commission as an intermediary company. Wynn Las Vegas, as an issuer of the second mortgage notes, will also qualify as a registered company and, in addition to being licensed, will be required to be registered by the Nevada Gaming Commission as a registered company. Wynn Capital will not be required to be registered or licensed, but may be required to be found suitable as a lender or financing source. We cannot assure you that the registrations, licenses and findings of suitability from the Nevada Gaming Authorities will be obtained on a timely basis or at all.
Periodically, we will be required to submit detailed financial and operating reports to the Nevada Gaming Commission and provide any other information that the Nevada Gaming Commission may require. Substantially all of our material loans, leases, sales of securities and similar financing transactions must be reported to, or approved by, the Nevada Gaming Commission.
Individual Licensing Requirements
No person may become a stockholder or member of, or receive any percentage of the profits of, an intermediary company or company licensee without first obtaining licenses and approvals from the Nevada Gaming Authorities. The Nevada Gaming Authorities may investigate any individual who has a material relationship to, or material involvement with, us to determine whether the individual is suitable or should be licensed as a business associate of a gaming licensee. We and our officers, directors and certain key employees will be required to file applications with the Nevada Gaming Authorities and may be required to be licensed or found suitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities. The Nevada Gaming Authorities may deny an application for licensing for any cause which they deem reasonable. A finding of suitability is comparable to licensing, and both require submission of detailed personal and financial information followed by a thorough investigation. An applicant for licensing or an applicant for a finding of suitability must pay for all the costs of the investigation. Changes in licensed positions must be reported to the Nevada Gaming Authorities and, in addition to their authority to deny an application for a finding of suitability or licensing, the Nevada Gaming Authorities have the jurisdiction to disapprove a change in a corporate position.
If the Nevada Gaming Authorities were to find an officer, director or key employee unsuitable for licensing or unsuitable to continue having a relationship with us, we would have to sever all relationships with that person. In addition, the Nevada Gaming Commission may require us to terminate the employment of any person who refuses to file appropriate applications. Determinations of suitability or questions pertaining to licensing are not subject to judicial review in Nevada.
Redemption of Securities Owned By an Unsuitable Person
Wynn Resorts' articles of incorporation provide that, to the extent a gaming authority makes a determination of unsuitability or to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the
107
board of directors, Wynn Resorts may redeem shares of its capital stock that are owned or controlled by an unsuitable person or its affiliates. The redemption price will be the amount, if any, required by the gaming authority or, if the gaming authority does not determine the price, the sum deemed by the board of directors to be the fair value of the securities to be redeemed. If Wynn Resorts determines the redemption price, the redemption price will be capped at the closing price of the shares on the principal national securities exchange on which the shares are listed on the trading date on the day before the redemption notice is given. If the shares are not listed on a national securities exchange, the redemption price will be capped at the closing sale price of the shares as quoted on The Nasdaq National Market or SmallCap Market, or if the closing price is not reported, the mean between the bid and asked prices, as quoted by any other generally recognized reporting system. Wynn Resorts' rights of redemption are not exclusive of any other rights that it may have or later acquire under any agreement, its bylaws or otherwise. Pursuant to the applicable restricted stock agreement, the redemption price for shares of unvested restricted stock will be a nominal amount. The redemption price may be paid in cash, by promissory note, or both, as required, and pursuant to the terms established by, the applicable gaming authority and, if not, as Wynn Resorts elects.
Aruze USA, which, before giving effect to the closing of Wynn Resorts' common stock offering, owns approximately 47.4% of Wynn Resorts' common stock, also will be required to apply to, and be licensed or found suitable by, the Nevada Gaming Commission and be registered as a holding company of Wynn Resorts prior to the opening of Le Rêve. Kazuo Okada is the owner of a controlling interest in Aruze Corp., the parent company of Aruze USA, and will also be required to be licensed or found suitable in respect of Wynn Resorts. Aruze Corp. will qualify as a publicly traded corporation under the terms of the Nevada Gaming Control Act and will be required to apply to, and be registered by, the Nevada Gaming Commission as a registered company and to be found suitable to own the stock of Aruze USA. Any beneficial owner of more than 10% of Aruze Corp.'s voting securities must also be licensed or found suitable, including Kazuo Okada and his son, Tomohiro Okada. Kazuo Okada is currently licensed by the Nevada Gaming Commission to own the shares of Universal Distributing of Nevada, Inc., a gaming machine manufacturer and distributor. Kazuo Okada and Tomohiro Okada previously sought approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission in connection with the proposed transfer of Universal Distributing to Aruze Corp. In connection with this application, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board raised certain concerns, including transactions which were then the subject of a pending tax case in Japan which involved Universal Distributing, Aruze Corp. and other related parties. The lower court in the Japanese tax case ruled in Aruze Corp.'s favor, but the Japanese tax authority has filed an appeal. It is unclear whether or how these events will affect the Nevada Gaming Commission's consideration of suitability with respect to Aruze USA's ownership of Wynn Resorts' stock.
Aruze Corp. has informed us that there are a number of outstanding issues in the Nevada State Gaming Board's investigation of the proposed transfer of Universal Distributing in addition to the issues relating to the transactions involved in the above-described tax proceeding. These issues, together with issues relating to the Japanese tax proceeding, if not satisfactorily resolved, could result in the denial of the application. No formal action of any kind has been taken by the Nevada State Gaming Control Board or the Nevada Gaming Commission in connection with these issues. The Nevada State Gaming Control Board and Aruze have agreed to defer the pursuit of the proposed transfer of Universal Distributing until or after the applications regarding Le Rêve have been acted upon. If the Nevada State Gaming Control Board or the Nevada Gaming Commission were to act adversely with respect to the pending proceeding involving Universal Distributing, that decision could adversely affect an
108
application filed by Aruze USA, Aruze Corp., Kazuo Okada or Tomohiro Okada in respect of Wynn Resorts.
If any gaming application of Aruze USA, Aruze Corp. or Kazuo Okada concerning Aruze USA's ownership of Wynn Resorts' stock is denied by Nevada gaming authorities or requested to be withdrawn or is not filed within 90 days after the filing of Wynn Resorts' application, then, under certain circumstances, Wynn Resorts has the right to require Mr. Wynn to purchase the shares owned by Aruze USA in Wynn Resorts, including with a promissory note, or the right to purchase the shares directly with a promissory note. If Wynn Resorts is required to purchase the shares held by Aruze USA, it may have to issue a promissory note to Aruze USA. Any such debt obligation on Wynn Resorts' balance sheet may negatively affect our financial condition. See "Certain Relationships and Related TransactionsBuy-Out of Aruze USA Stock."
Moreover, if the Nevada Gaming Commission were to determine that Aruze USA is unsuitable to hold a promissory note issued by Wynn Resorts or Mr. Wynn, the Nevada Gaming Commission could order Aruze USA or its affiliate to dispose of its voting securities within a prescribed period of time that may not be sufficient.
If Aruze USA or its affiliate does not dispose of its voting securities within the prescribed period of time, or if Wynn Resorts fails to pursue all lawful efforts to require Aruze USA or its affiliate to relinquish its voting securities, including, if necessary, the immediate purchase of the voting securities for cash at fair market value, the Nevada Gaming Commission could determine that Wynn Resorts was unsuitable or could take disciplinary action against Wynn Resorts. Disciplinary action could result in the limitation, conditioning, suspension or revocation of any approvals or gaming licenses held by Wynn Resorts (and, as a result, Wynn Las Vegas) and/or the imposition of a significant monetary fine against Wynn Resorts. Any such disciplinary action could significantly impair our operations.
Consequences of Violating Gaming Laws
If the Nevada Gaming Commission decides that we violated the Nevada Gaming Control Act or any of its regulations, it could limit, condition, suspend or revoke the registrations and findings of suitability of Wynn Resorts, Valvino and Wynn Resorts Holdings, and the registration and gaming license of Wynn Las Vegas. In addition, Wynn Resorts, Valvino, Wynn Resorts Holdings, Wynn Las Vegas and the persons involved could be subject to substantial fines for each separate violation of the Nevada Gaming Control Act, or of the regulations of the Nevada Gaming Commission, at the discretion of the Nevada Gaming Commission. Further, the Nevada Gaming Commission could appoint a supervisor to operate Le Rêve and, under specified circumstances, earnings generated during the supervisor's appointment (except for the reasonable rental value of the premises) could be forfeited to the State of Nevada. Limitation, conditioning or suspension of any of our gaming licenses and the appointment of a supervisor could, and revocation of any gaming license would, have a significant negative effect on our gaming operations.
Requirements for Beneficial Securities Holders
Regardless of the number of shares held, any beneficial holder of Wynn Resorts' voting securities, may be required to file an application, be investigated and have that person's suitability as a beneficial holder of voting securities determined if the Nevada Gaming Commission has reason to believe that the ownership would otherwise be inconsistent with the declared policies of the State of Nevada. If the beneficial holder of the voting securities of Wynn Resorts who must be found suitable is a corporation, partnership, limited partnership,
109
limited liability company or trust, it must submit detailed business and financial information including a list of beneficial owners. The applicant must pay all costs of the investigation incurred by the Nevada Gaming Authorities in conducting any investigation.
The Nevada Gaming Control Act requires any person who acquires more than 5% of the voting securities of a registered company to report the acquisition to the Nevada Gaming Commission. The Nevada Gaming Control Act requires beneficial owners of more than 10% of a registered company's voting securities to apply to the Nevada Gaming Commission for a finding of suitability within 30 days after the Chairman of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board mails the written notice requiring such filing. Under certain circumstances, an "institutional investor," as defined in the Nevada Gaming Control Act, which acquires more than 10%, but not more than 15%, of the registered company's voting securities may apply to the Nevada Gaming Commission for a waiver of a finding of suitability if the institutional investor holds the voting securities for investment purposes only. An institutional investor will not be deemed to hold voting securities for investment purposes unless the voting securities were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business as an institutional investor and not for the purpose of causing, directly or indirectly, the election of a majority of the members of the board at directors of the registered company, a change in the registered company's corporate charter, bylaws, management, policies or operations of the registered company, or any of its gaming affiliates, or any other action which the Nevada Gaming Commission finds to be inconsistent with holding Wynn Resorts' voting securities for investment purposes only. Activities which are not deemed to be inconsistent with holding voting securities for investment purposes only include:
The articles of incorporation of Wynn Resorts include provisions intended to help it implement the above restrictions.
Consequences of Being Found Unsuitable
Any person who fails or refuses to apply for a finding of suitability or a license within 30 days after being ordered to do so by the Nevada Gaming Commission or by the Chairman of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, or who refuses or fails to pay the investigative costs incurred by the Nevada Gaming Authorities in connection with the investigation of its application, may be found unsuitable. The same restrictions apply to a record owner if the record owner, after request, fails to identify the beneficial owner. Any person found unsuitable and who holds, directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of any voting security or debt security of a registered company beyond the period of time as may be prescribed by the Nevada Gaming Commission may be guilty of a criminal offense. Wynn Resorts will be subject to disciplinary action if, after it receives notice that a person is unsuitable to hold an equity interest or to have any other relationship with, it:
110
Gaming Laws Relating to Securities Ownership
The Nevada Gaming Commission may, in its discretion, require the holder of any debt or similar securities of a registered company, such as the second mortgage notes, to file applications, be investigated and be found suitable to own the debt or other security of the registered company if the Nevada Gaming Commission has reason to believe that such ownership would otherwise be inconsistent with the declared policies of the State of Nevada. If the Nevada Gaming Commission decides that a person is unsuitable to own the security, then under the Nevada Gaming Control Act, the registered company can be sanctioned, including the loss of its approvals, if without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission, it:
Wynn Resorts will be required to maintain a current stock ledger in Nevada which may be examined by the Nevada Gaming Authorities at any time. If any securities are held in trust by an agent or by a nominee, the record holder may be required to disclose the identity of the beneficial owner to the Nevada Gaming Authorities. A failure to make the disclosure may be grounds for finding the record holder unsuitable. Wynn Resorts will be required to render maximum assistance in determining the identity of the beneficial owner of any of Wynn Resorts' voting securities. The Nevada Gaming Commission has the power to require the stock certificates of any registered company to bear a legend indicating that the securities are subject to the Nevada Gaming Control Act. We do not know whether this requirement will be imposed on Wynn Resorts.
Approval of Public Offerings
Once Wynn Resorts and Wynn Las Vegas become registered companies, they may not make a public offering of their securities without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission if they intend to use the securities or the proceeds from the offering to construct, acquire or finance gaming facilities in Nevada, or to retire or extend obligations incurred for those purposes or for similar transactions. Any approval that Wynn Resorts or Wynn Las Vegas might receive in the future relating to the offering of common stock, the offering of the second mortgage notes or future offerings does not constitute a finding, recommendation or approval by any of the Nevada Gaming Authorities as to the accuracy or adequacy of the offering memorandum or the investment merits of the securities. Any representation to the contrary is unlawful.
The regulations of the Nevada Gaming Commission also provide that any entity which is not an "affiliated company," as that term is defined in the Nevada Gaming Control Act, or which is not otherwise subject to the provisions of the Nevada Gaming Control Act or regulations, such as Wynn Resorts and Wynn Las Vegas, that plans to make a public offering
111
of securities intending to use such securities, or the proceeds from the sale thereof, for the construction or operation of gaming facilities in Nevada, or to retire or extend obligations incurred for such purposes, may apply to the Nevada Gaming Commission for prior approval of such offering. The Nevada Gaming Commission may find an applicant unsuitable based solely on the fact that it did not submit such an application, unless upon a written request for a ruling, referred to as a ruling request, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board Chairman has ruled that it is not necessary to submit an application. The offering of second mortgage notes pursuant to this prospectus and the offering of common stock by Wynn Resorts each will qualify as a public offering. The Nevada State Gaming Control Board Chairman considered Wynn Resorts' and Wynn Las Vegas' ruling request and issued an administrative ruling that it is not necessary to submit an application for prior approval of this offering or the offering of common stock.
The pledge of the equity interests in Wynn Resorts Holdings and Wynn Las Vegas, referred to as the pledge, and the guarantees in respect of the second mortgage notes will require the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission, upon the recommendation of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, in order to remain effective at such time as Wynn Resorts becomes a registered company. The restrictions on the transfer of, and agreement not to encumber the equity interests of, Wynn Resorts Holdings, referred to as a negative pledge, will also require approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission, upon the recommendation of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, in order to remain effective at such time as Wynn Resorts becomes a registered company. An approval of the pledge by the Nevada Gaming Commission will not constitute approval to foreclose on the pledge. Separate approval would be required to foreclose on the pledge and transfer ownership of the equity interests and that approval would require the licensing of the trustee under the indenture or other secured party, unless such licensing is waived on application of such secured party. No assurance can be given that the pledge, negative pledge or guarantees will be approved, or that if approved, approval to foreclose on the pledge would be granted, or that the trustee under the indenture would be licensed or receive a waiver of licensing requirements. Foreclosure of the lien on collateral consisting of gaming devices in respect of the second mortgage notes and the taking of possession of those gaming devices may required the prior licensing of the trustee as a distributor by the Nevada Gaming Commission. However, the Nevada Gaming Control Act provides that in the case of foreclosure of a lien by a person holding a security interest for which gaming devices are security in whole or in part, the Nevada State Gaming Control Board may authorize the disposition of the gaming devices without requiring a distributor's license. No assurance can be given that the Nevada State Gaming Control Board would grant such approval or that if such approval were not granted, the trustee would be granted a license as a distributor.
Approval of Changes in Control
Once Wynn Resorts and Wynn Las Vegas become registered companies, they must obtain prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission with respect to a change in control through:
112
Entities seeking to acquire control of a registered company must satisfy the Nevada State Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission with respect to a variety of stringent standards before assuming control of the registered company. The Nevada Gaming Commission may also require controlling stockholders, officers, directors and other persons having a material relationship or involvement with the entity proposing to acquire control to be investigated and licensed as part of the approval process relating to the transaction.
Approval of Defensive Tactics
The Nevada legislature has declared that some corporate acquisitions opposed by management, repurchase of voting securities and corporate defense tactics affecting Nevada gaming licenses, and registered companies that are affiliated with those operations, may be harmful to stable and productive corporate gaming. The Nevada Gaming Commission has established a regulatory scheme to reduce the potentially adverse effects of these business practices upon Nevada's gaming industry and to further Nevada's policy to:
Once Wynn Resorts and Wynn Las Vegas become a registered company, approvals may be required from the Nevada Gaming Commission before they can make exceptional repurchases of voting securities above their current market price and before a corporate acquisition opposed by management can be consummated. The Nevada Gaming Control Act also requires prior approval of a plan of recapitalization proposed by a registered company's board of directors in response to a tender offer made directly to its stockholders for the purpose of acquiring control.
Fees and Taxes
License fees and taxes, computed in various ways depending on the type of gaming or activity involved, are payable to the State of Nevada and to the counties and cities in which the licensed subsidiaries respective operations are conducted. Depending upon the particular fee or tax involved, these fees and taxes are payable either monthly, quarterly or annually and are based upon either:
A casino entertainment tax is also paid by casino operations where entertainment is furnished in connection with the selling or serving of food or refreshments or the selling of merchandise.
Foreign Gaming Investigations
Any person who is licensed, required to be licensed, registered, required to be registered, or is under common control with those persons (collectively, "licensees"), and who proposes to become involved in a gaming venture outside of Nevada, is required to deposit with the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, and thereafter maintain, a revolving fund in the amount of $10,000 to pay the expenses of investigation of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board of the licensee's or registrant's participation in such foreign gaming. The revolving fund is
113
subject to increase or decrease in the discretion of the Nevada Gaming Commission. Licensees and registrants are required to comply with the reporting requirements imposed by the Nevada Gaming Control Act. A licensee or registrant is also subject to disciplinary action by the Nevada Gaming Commission if it:
License for Conduct of Gaming and Sale of Alcoholic Beverages
The conduct of gaming activities and the service and sale of alcoholic beverages at Le Rêve will be subject to licensing, control and regulation by the Clark County Liquor and Gaming Licensing Board. In addition to approving Wynn Las Vegas, the Clark County Liquor and Gaming License Board has the authority to approve all persons owning or controlling the stock of any corporation controlling a gaming license. All licenses are revocable and are not transferable. The county agency has full power to limit, condition, suspend or revoke any license. Any disciplinary action could, and revocation would, have a substantial negative impact upon our operations.
114

To implement the classified board of directors structure, prior to the completion of Wynn Resorts' common stock offering, three of the members of the board of directors will be Class I directors elected to one-year terms, two will be Class II directors elected to two-year terms and three will be Class III directors elected to three-year terms. Thereafter, directors will be elected for three-year terms. Upon the completion of Wynn Resorts' common stock offering, Class I will consist of Elaine P. Wynn, Ronald J. Kramer and John A. Moran; Class II will consist of Mr. Wynn and Stanley R. Zax; and Class III will consist of Robert J. Miller, Allan Zeman and Kazuo Okada.
Wynn Capital expects to have a board of directors comprised of the same members as Wynn Resorts' board of directors.
Upon completion of Wynn Resorts' common stock offering, the board of directors of Wynn Resorts intends to appoint an executive committee, an audit committee and a compensation committee. Wynn Capital's board of directors will also appoint an executive committee, an audit committee and a compensation committee, which committees will be comprised of the same members as Wynn Resorts' committees. The composition of the board committees of Wynn Resorts and Wynn Capital will comply with the requirements of The Nasdaq National Market and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The executive committees of Wynn Resorts and Wynn Capital will have all of the powers and authority of the board of directors in managing our business and affairs to the fullest extent authorized by Nevada law.
Wynn Resorts' audit committee will select on behalf of Wynn Resorts' entire board of directors an independent public accounting firm to be engaged to audit our financial statements, discuss with the independent auditors their independence, review and discuss the audited financial statements with the independent auditors and management and recommend to the board of directors whether the audited financials should be included in Wynn Las Vegas' Annual Reports on Form 10-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect that the audit committees of Wynn Resorts and Wynn Capital will be comprised of three independent directors.
The compensation committees of Wynn Resorts and Wynn Capital will review and approve on behalf of the entire board of directors of Wynn Resorts and Wynn Capital, respectively, the (1) annual salaries and other compensation of its respective officers, and (2) individual stock and stock option grants. The compensation committees of Wynn Resorts and Wynn Capital also will provide assistance and recommendations with respect to its respective compensation policies and practices and assist with the administration of the compensation plan of Wynn Resorts and Wynn Capital. We expect that each of the compensation committees of Wynn Resorts and Wynn Capital will be comprised of at least two independent directors.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
As noted above, the board of directors of Wynn Resorts and Wynn Capital will appoint a compensation committee upon completion of Wynn Resorts' initial public offering. We do not expect that any of Wynn Resorts' or Wynn Capital's executive officers will serve as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers serves on Wynn Resorts' or Wynn Capital's board of directors or compensation committee.

Director Compensation
Upon completion of Wynn Resorts' initial public offering, each of the directors of Wynn Resorts and Wynn Capital who is not an employee of Wynn Resorts or its subsidiaries will receive a monthly fee of $4,000 for services as a director. Directors who serve on the executive, audit and compensation committees will receive an additional monthly fee of $1,000. Directors will also receive reimbursement for medical expenses and coverage under a life insurance program. Directors who are employees of Wynn Resorts or its subsidiaries will not receive compensation for their services as directors.
Each non-employee director of Wynn Resorts and Wynn Capital will receive stock options each year under Wynn Resorts' 2002 stock incentive plan in an amount to be determined. The stock options will have an exercise price equal to the market value of Wynn Resorts' common stock on the date of grant and will vest over a period defined in the option agreement.
Executive Compensation
The following table sets forth the annual and long-term compensation of Wynn Resorts' and Wynn Capital's Chief Executive Officer for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. This table also includes, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, each of our five other most highly compensated executive officers (collectively, with the Chief Executive Officer, the "Named Executive Officers"). This compensation consists of compensation paid by Valvino, Wynn Resorts Holdings and Wynn Design & Development.

401(k) Plan
We established a retirement savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering our non-union employees on July 27, 2000. The plan allows employees to defer, within certain limits, up to 18% of their income on a pre-tax basis through contributions to this plan. We match the contributions, within prescribed limits, with an amount equal to 100% of the participant's initial 2% tax deferred contribution and 50% of the tax deferred contribution between 2% and 4% of the participant's compensation.
Wynn Resorts 2002 Stock Incentive Plan
Wynn Resorts has adopted its 2002 stock incentive plan. The 2002 stock incentive plan provides for the grant of stock awards, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to our employees, directors and specified consultants. Wynn Resorts intends to reserve a total of 9,750,000 shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock for issuance pursuant to the 2002 stock incentive plan, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the 2002 stock incentive plan.
Wynn Resorts' board of directors intends to delegate general administrative authority over the 2002 stock incentive plan to its compensation committee. The members of the compensation committee will be both "non-employee directors" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The administrator has broad authority to designate recipients of awards and determine the terms and provisions of awards, including the price, expiration date, vesting schedule and terms of exercise.
The exercise price of incentive stock options must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted to optionees who own stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of capital stock of Wynn Resorts or any parent or subsidiary of Wynn Resorts must have an exercise price that is at least 110% of fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The incentive options will expire no later than ten years from the date of grant, or five years with respect to incentive stock options granted to optionees who own more than 10% of our outstanding common stock. The exercise price of non-qualified stock options and the purchase price of stock awards will be determined by the administrator. The 2002 stock incentive plan generally will not allow for the transfer of options. However, the administrator may provide that non-qualified stock options may be transferred (1) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or (2) to a family member. During any fiscal year, no optionee may receive grants of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options in the aggregate which cover more than 1,500,000 shares.
After the termination of the employment or services of an optionee for reasons other than for cause, death or disability, exercisable options generally will remain exercisable until the earlier of their expiration as set forth in the option agreement or 90 days after the date of termination of employment. If termination is due to death or disability, exercisable options generally will remain exercisable until the earlier of the expiration date stated in the option
120
agreement or 12 months after the date of death or termination of employment due to disability. If termination is for cause, all options, including vested and exercisable ones, will be immediately terminated and cancelled.
If certain events occur that result in a change of Wynn Resorts' organizational or ownership structure, the administrator has the discretion to do one or more of the following:
Wynn Resorts has the authority to amend, alter, suspend or terminate the 2002 stock incentive plan without stockholder approval provided that its doing so does not impair the rights of any optionee or increase the number of shares for which options and stock awards may be granted. Wynn Resorts may amend the plan with stockholder approval to increase the number of shares for which options and stock awards may be granted.
Following the completion of this offering and the offering of Wynn Resorts' common stock, Wynn Resorts intends to grant awards of 189,723 shares of restricted stock under its 2002 stock incentive plan to each of the following employees: DeRuyter O. Butler, W. Todd Nisbet, Marc D. Schorr, John Strzemp, Roger P. Thomas and Kenneth R. Wynn. The restricted stock to be granted to our employees will vest in October 2004 as to Mr. Strzemp, in May 2005 as to Mr. Schorr and Mr. Kenneth Wynn, in May 2006 as to Mr. Butler and Mr. Thomas and in June 2006 as to Mr. Nisbet. The restricted stock will vest immediately with respect to any individual if such individual terminates employment with us under circumstances that entitle him to receive a "separation payment" under his employment contract (as described below).
Wynn Resorts also intends to grant an award of 189,723 shares of restricted stock outside of the 2002 stock incentive plan to Franco Dragone, the executive producer and principal creator of our new entertainment production. The restricted stock awarded to Mr. Dragone will vest on June 30, 2006. However, the restricted stock will not vest, but instead will be immediately cancelled and retired, if, as of June 30, 2006: (1) the complete run of the entertainment production at Le Rêve has not commenced or has been cancelled due to any act or omission of Mr. Dragone and (2) Mr. Dragone has not successfully opened another production show for Wynn Resorts or its affiliates in another venue or, if opened, the complete run of such other show has been cancelled due to any act or omission of Mr. Dragone.
Employment Agreements
Wynn Resorts has entered into employment agreements with Stephen A. Wynn, John Strzemp, Marc D. Schorr and Marc H. Rubinstein, and Wynn Design & Development has entered into employment agreements with Kenneth R. Wynn and DeRuyter O. Butler.
Under Stephen A. Wynn's employment agreement, the annual base salary is $1,250,000 for the first year and will increase by $500,000 each year to a maximum of $2,750,000. Under Mr. Schorr's employment agreement, the annual base salary is $750,000 for the first year and
121
$1,000,000 thereafter. The annual base salary is $459,000 for Mr. Strzemp, $360,000 for Mr. Rubinstein, $350,000 for Mr. Butler and $250,000 for Kenneth Wynn.
The other terms of the employment contracts are substantially similar for each executive, except as noted below. Each executive will receive a bonus and is eligible for an increase in base salary at such times and in such amounts as Wynn Resorts' board of directors, in its sole and exclusive discretion, may determine. However, after Wynn Resorts' board of directors adopts a performance-based bonus plan, bonuses will be determined in accordance with the plan, except that Mr. Strzemp will be entitled to a minimum annual bonus of $150,000 per year. The term of each employment contract will begin on the effective date of this offering and end five years later, except that the term of Mr. Strzemp's employment contract will end on October 31, 2004, Kenneth Wynn's employment contract will end on May 31, 2005 and Mr. Butler's employment will end on May 31, 2006. If this offering does not close on or before April 1, 2003, the employment contracts will become null and void. In addition to base salary and bonuses, each executive will participate in all of Wynn Resorts' employee benefit plans that cover executives, to the extent that the executive is otherwise eligible, will receive reimbursement for reasonable business expenses (including entertainment, promotional, gift and travel expenses and club memberships), and will be entitled to four weeks paid vacation each year. In addition, we will provide the use of a company car and driver at Wynn Resorts' sole cost and expense to Stephen A. Wynn, and Stephen A. Wynn, Mr. Schorr and Kenneth Wynn will enter into time-sharing agreements with their respective employing entity covering their personal use of our aircraft, with each such executive paying such employing entity the lesser of (1) his and his family's share of the direct costs incurred by us in operating the aircraft or (2) the amount required by applicable federal aviation regulations.
If the employing entity terminates the employment of an executive without "cause," or the executive terminates his employment with such employing entity upon "good reason" following a "change of control" (as these terms are defined in the employment contracts), the employing entity will pay the executive a "separation payment" in a lump sum equal to (a) the executive's base salary for the remainder of the term of the employment contract, but not for less than one year, except in the case of Kenneth Wynn and Messrs. Butler, and Rubinstein, in which case the lump sum shall be such person's base salary for one year, and except in the case of Mr. Wynn, in which case the lump sum shall be three times such amount, (b) the bonus that the executive received for the preceding bonus period projected over the remainder of the term, except in the case of Kenneth Wynn, Messrs. Butler and Rubinstein, in which case, the bonus shall be such person's bonus for one year, and except in the case of Mr. Wynn, in which case the lump sum shall be three times such amount, (c) any accrued but unpaid vacation pay, and (d) an amount necessary to gross the executive up for any golden parachute excise tax the executive incurs under the Internal Revenue Code Section 4999. If the executive is entitled to receive the separation payment, he will also be entitled to continue participating in the employing entity's health benefits coverage for the period for which the separation payment is payable on the same basis as if he were still employed by the employing entity. Except as provided below, if the executive's employment terminates for any other reason before the expiration of the term (i.e., because of the executive's death, disability, discharge for cause or revocation of gaming license), the employing entity will be required to pay the executive only accrued but unpaid base salary and vacation pay through his termination date. If Mr. Wynn's employment agreement is terminated as a result of death, complete disability or denial or revocation of Mr. Wynn's gaming license, then the employing entity will pay Mr. Wynn a separation payment equal to his base salary for the remainder of the term of the employment contract, but not less than one year, and the bonus that Mr. Wynn received for the preceding bonus period projected
122
over the remainder of the term, but not less than the preceding bonus that was paid, projected over one year.
On April 1, 2002, Wynn Resorts Holdings and Valvino, as guarantor, entered into a one-year employment agreement with Ronald J. Kramer. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Kramer is entitled to a base salary of $1,000,000 per year. Mr. Kramer is also entitled to a bonus of at least $1,250,000 based on specified performance criteria. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Kramer is also entitled to participate in all welfare, pension and incentive benefit plans that Wynn Resorts Holdings maintains for its senior executives. If at any time during the term of his agreement (1) Wynn Resorts Holdings terminates Mr. Kramer's employment without cause (as defined in the agreement) or (2) Mr. Kramer terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in such agreement), Wynn Resorts Holdings must pay Mr. Kramer (in addition to all accrued base salary, accrued vacation pay and bonus amounts) $1,250,000, unless Mr. Kramer has already been paid a bonus equal to at least that amount from the proceeds of Wynn Resorts' common stock offering. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Kramer is also prevented from competing with Wynn Resorts Holdings and its affiliates for the one year of his employment.
Limitations on Directors' Liability and Indemnification
Wynn Resorts' articles of incorporation limit the liability of directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law. With a few limited exceptions set forth in the Nevada Revised Statutes, Nevada law provides that a director or officer of a corporation is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders for damages resulting from any action or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that:
This limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under the federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
Wynn Resorts' bylaws provide that it will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, provided that the director or officer either is not liable for monetary damages under Nevada law or acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any proceeding that is criminal in nature, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Wynn Resorts' articles of incorporation and bylaws require it to pay the expenses of directors and officers incurred in defending a proceeding involving alleged acts or omissions of the director or officer in his or her capacity as such as the expenses are incurred and in advance of the final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified. The bylaws permit the board of directors to indemnify employees and other persons to the same extent. We believe indemnification under Wynn Resorts' bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence on the part of indemnified parties. Except as ordered by a court and for advancement of expenses, a director or officer may not be indemnified if a final adjudication determines that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the current action. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, does not, of itself, under the bylaws create a presumption that the standards described above
123
were not met. However, Wynn Resorts is not permitted by its bylaws to indemnify a director or officer if he or she has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to Wynn Resorts unless that court or another court of competent jurisdiction determines that in view of all of the circumstances, the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.
In addition to indemnification provided for in Wynn Resorts' bylaws, Wynn Resorts intends to enter into agreements to indemnify its directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, will provide for indemnification of Wynn Resorts' directors and executive officers for expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding arising out of such person's services as a director or executive officer or at its request. Wynn Resorts may also maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent. We believe these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.
The limited liability and indemnification provisions in Wynn Resorts' articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against its directors for breach of their fiduciary duties and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against its directors and officers, even though a derivative litigation, if successful, might otherwise benefit Wynn Resorts and its stockholders. A stockholder's investment in Wynn Resorts may be negatively affected to the extent that it pays the costs of settlement or damage awards against its directors or officers under these indemnification provisions.
Wynn Capital's articles of incorporation and bylaws will contain similar limited liability and indemnification provisions.
Wynn Las Vegas' operating agreement will provide that it shall indemnify its members to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law.
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification of directors or officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is against public policy and, therefore, such indemnification provisions may be unenforceable.
Key Man Life Insurance
We have obtained $30 million of key man life insurance with respect to Stephen A. Wynn for our benefit.
Directors' and Officers' Insurance
Wynn Resorts expects to maintain a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy that provides its officers and directors with liability coverage in amounts it considers appropriate.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND
RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Contribution of Interest in Wynn Macau. Before April 22, 2002, Stephen A. Wynn owned a majority of the outstanding equity interests of Wynn Macau. At the time, Wynn Macau had been awarded a provisional concession to negotiate a concession agreement with the Macau government to construct and operate one or more casinos in Macau. On April 22, 2002, in connection with additional contributions to Valvino by Aruze USA and Baron Asset Fund, Mr. Wynn contributed his interest in Wynn Macau to Valvino. This interest was valued at approximately $56 million by the parties, after reimbursement to Mr. Wynn of approximately $825,000 advanced by him to Wynn Macau in connection with the negotiation of the concession agreement and other development activities in Macau. Similar advances by Valvino to Wynn Macau of approximately $458,000 were treated as capital contributions by Valvino upon its acquisition of the Macau interest. Subsequent to this contribution, Wynn Macau entered into a concession agreement with the government of Macau permitting it to construct and operate casinos in Macau. See "Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital ResourcesMaterial Transactions Affecting Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Stockholders Agreement. Mr. Wynn, Aruze USA and Baron Asset Fund are parties to a stockholders agreement. The stockholders agreement establishes various rights among Mr. Wynn, Aruze USA and Baron Asset Fund with respect to the ownership and management of Wynn Resorts. These rights include, but are not limited to, the following preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, tag-along rights and certain other restrictions on the transfer of the shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock owned by the parties to the stockholders agreement.
Under the stockholders agreement, if Mr. Wynn, Aruze USA or Baron Asset Fund purchase shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock from Wynn Resorts in a private placement on terms and conditions that are not offered to the other parties to the agreement, the purchasing stockholder must afford the other parties preemptive rights. These preemptive rights will allow the non-purchasing parties to purchase that number of shares in the purchasing stockholder's allotment of private placement shares that is necessary to maintain the parties' shares in the same proportion to each other that existed prior to the private placement.
In addition, under the stockholders agreement, the parties granted each other a right of first refusal on their respective shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock. Under this right of first refusal, if any such stockholder wishes to transfer any of his or its shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock to anyone other than a permitted transferee and has a bona fide offer from any person to purchase such shares, the stockholder must first offer the shares to the other parties to the stockholders agreement on the same terms and conditions as the bona fide offer. In addition to this right of first refusal, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA also granted each other and Baron Asset Fund a tag-along right on their respective shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock. Under this tag-along right, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA, before transferring his or its shares to any person other than a permitted transferee, must first allow the other parties to the agreement to participate in such transfer on the same terms and conditions.
The stockholders agreement also provides that, upon the institution of a bankruptcy action by or against a party to the stockholders agreement, the other parties to the agreement will be given an option to purchase the bankrupt stockholder's shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock at a price to be agreed upon by the bankrupt stockholder and the other stockholders, or, if a price cannot be agreed upon by such stockholders, at a price equal to their fair market value. In addition, under the stockholders agreement, if there is a direct or indirect change of control of any party to the agreement, other than Baron Asset Fund, the other parties to the agreement have the option to purchase the shares of Wynn Resorts'
125
common stock held by the party undergoing the change in control. Under the agreement, a stockholder may assign these options to Wynn Resorts.
In addition, under the stockholders agreement, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA have agreed to vote their shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock for a slate of directors, a majority of which will be designated by Mr. Wynn, of which at least two will be independent directors, and the remaining members of which will be designated by Aruze USA. As a result of this voting arrangement, Mr. Wynn will control Wynn Resorts' board of directors. The stockholders agreement incorporates certain provisions set forth in the operating agreement for Valvino pursuant to which, if Aruze USA's ownership of the shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock impairs Wynn Resort's ability to obtain a gaming license, either Wynn Resorts or Mr. Wynn could purchase the shares of Wynn Resorts owned by Aruze USA. In addition, in such circumstances, Aruze USA could demand that Wynn Resorts purchase its shares. These arrangements were terminated under the arrangement described below. In other respects, the stockholders agreement will continue to be in effect after the completion of this offering.
Buy-Out of Aruze USA Stock. Mr. Wynn, Kazuo Okada, Aruze USA, Aruze Corp. and Wynn Resorts have entered into arrangements which provide that if any gaming application of Aruze USA, Aruze Corp. or Kazuo Okada concerning Aruze USA's ownership of Wynn Resorts' stock is denied by Nevada gaming authorities or requested to be withdrawn or is not filed within 90 days after the filing of Wynn Resorts' application, Mr. Wynn may elect to purchase the shares owned by Aruze USA in Wynn Resorts. Mr. Wynn may pay this purchase price with a promissory note. If Mr. Wynn chooses not to exercise his right to purchase the shares, Wynn Resorts has the right to require him to purchase the shares, including with a promissory note. Wynn Resorts intends to grant Mr. Wynn certain demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights with respect to any shares he purchases from Aruze USA under these buy-out arrangements. The prior buy-out arrangements under the Valvino operating agreement and under the stockholders agreement between Mr. Wynn, Aruze USA and Baron Asset Fund were terminated upon the effectiveness of the new agreement.
Wynn Design & Development. Wynn Design & Development, a wholly owned subsidiary of Valvino, is responsible for the design and architecture of Le Rêve (except for the showroom) and for managing construction costs and risks associated with the Le Rêve project. Kenneth R. Wynn is the President of this subsidiary. Nevada law requires that a firm licensed as a professional architectural organization certify architectural plans. These architectural services for the Le Rêve project will be provided by the firm of Butler/Ashworth Architects, Ltd., LLC. In return for these services, the Butler/Ashworth firm will be paid $1.00 and reimbursed for certain expenses it incurs in providing the architectural services. The principals of the Butler/Ashworth firm are DeRuyter O. Butler and Glen Ashworth, both of whom are employees of Wynn Design & Development. Mr. Butler is Executive Vice President of Wynn Design & Development. Wynn Design & Development is the only client of the Butler/Ashworth firm and pays the salaries and benefits of Messrs. Butler and Ashworth. Neither we nor Mr. Wynn has an ownership interest in Butler/Ashworth.
Art Gallery. We operate an art gallery at the former premises of the Desert Inn Resort & Casino in which we display paintings from The Wynn Collection. The art gallery is expected to remain open during the construction of Le Rêve. From November 1, 2001 until August 19, 2002, we leased The Wynn Collection from Mr. and Mrs. Wynn pursuant to an art rental and licensing agreement. Under the agreement, we paid the expenses of exhibiting works from The Wynn Collection and reimbursed Mr. and Mrs. Wynn for the expense of insuring the collection while we exhibited it, which insurance costs for the eight months ended June 30, 2002 were approximately $55,000. In addition, we were obligated to make monthly lease payments for the art at a rate equal to the gross revenue received by the gallery each month, less direct expenses, subject to a monthly cap. Under the agreement, we were not required to
126
make any such lease payments prior to June 30, 2002. However, had we been required to make such payments, no amounts would have been due under the lease payment formula because, to date, our expenses in operating the art gallery have exceeded the revenue generated from such operations.
On August 19, 2002, we and Mr. and Mrs. Wynn entered into an amended and restated art rental and licensing agreement. The material terms of the amended and restated agreement are substantially the same as the material terms of the previous agreement, except that the monthly lease payments for the art are at a rate equal to one-half of the gross revenue, as calculated under the agreement, received by the gallery each month, less direct expenses, subject to a monthly cap. Under the amended and restated agreement, if there is a loss in any particular month, as calculated under the agreement, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn are obligated to reimburse us the amount of the loss. We continue to be obligated to reimburse Mr. and Mrs. Wynn for the expense of insuring the collection while we exhibit it, (which reimbursement is treated as a direct expense) which insurance cost for the twelve months ended June 30, 2003 will be approximately $275,000. Prior to opening Le Rêve, we do not expect to make any material payments under the amended and restated agreement. Under the amended and restated agreement, subject to certain notice restrictions, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn have the right to remove or replace any or all of the works of art that will be displayed in the art gallery.
On September 18, 2002, we and Mr. and Mrs. Wynn entered into a second amended and restated art rental and licensing agreement to permit us to continue to lease The Wynn Collection as an attraction at Le Rêve under the same terms as the previous agreement.
Aircraft Arrangements. Until January 2002, Valvino used a Gulfstream Aerospace model G-1159A aircraft in its business operations. The aircraft was owned by Kevyn, LLC, which, until April 1, 2001, was wholly owned by Mr. Wynn, and leased to and operated under a Part 135 charter certificate by Las Vegas Jet, LLC, formerly Las Vegas CharterJet, LLC, a charter business owned by Mr. Wynn. Valvino paid Las Vegas Jet an hourly rate for its use of the aircraft and disbursed funds for payroll, property taxes, insurance and all other operating expenses on behalf of Las Vegas Jet. As of April 1, 2001, and in accordance with Valvino's operating agreement, Mr. Wynn sold Kevyn to Valvino for $10,035,000. Pursuant to Federal Aviation Administration regulations restricting the registration of aircraft in the United States by entities with substantial foreign ownership, Kevyn transferred legal title to the aircraft to First Security Bank, National Association, a national banking association, pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of April 2, 2001. After the transfers, Kevyn continued to lease the aircraft to Las Vegas Jet, and Las Vegas Jet continued to use the aircraft in its charter business. Valvino paid Las Vegas Jet an hourly rate for its use of the aircraft, and was in turn paid by Las Vegas Jet (through Kevyn) under the aircraft lease. Valvino paid Las Vegas Jet approximately $451,800 and $918,900 for its use of the aircraft in 2000 and 2001, respectively, and approximately $13,600 for its use of the aircraft in January 2002. Wynn Macau paid Las Vegas Jet approximately $72,600 for its use of the aircraft in 2001. On March 26, 2002, Kevyn sold the aircraft to an unrelated buyer.
From January 2002 until May 30, 2002, Valvino used a Bombardier Global Express aircraft, serial number 9065, in its business operations. The aircraft was owned by World Travel and was leased to and operated by Las Vegas Jet. Valvino paid Las Vegas Jet an hourly rate of $6,800 per hour for its use of the aircraft. Las Vegas Jet and World Travel were owned entirely by Mr. Wynn. Valvino paid Las Vegas Jet approximately $356,000 for its use of the aircraft during this period. Wynn Macau paid Las Vegas Jet approximately $211,000 for its use of the aircraft during the period following the contribution by Wynn Macau to Valvino and prior to May 30, 2002.
127
On May 30, 2002, Mr. Wynn sold World Travel and Las Vegas Jet to Valvino for approximately $38.2 million (consisting of approximately $9.7 million in cash and the release of Mr. Wynn from a guarantee on the approximately $28.5 million of remaining indebtedness of World Travel secured by the aircraft), the amount that World Travel paid for the aircraft. Pursuant to Federal Aviation Administration regulations restricting the registration of aircraft in the United States by entities with substantial foreign ownership, World Travel transferred legal title to the aircraft to Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association, a national banking association, pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of May 10, 2002. At that time, World Travel had remaining indebtedness of $28.5 million secured by the aircraft. Valvino guaranteed this indebtedness in connection with the purchase of the aircraft. Mr. Wynn was released from his guarantee of that indebtedness. Wynn Las Vegas intends to use approximately $28.5 million of the FF&E facility to refinance the indebtedness by means of a loan to be evidenced by an intercompany note from World Travel.
World Travel continues to lease the aircraft to Las Vegas Jet. Las Vegas Jet operates the aircraft for Wynn Resorts and its subsidiaries.
Reimbursable Costs. We have periodically incurred costs on Mr. Wynn's behalf, including costs with respect to Mr. Wynn's personal use of the corporate aircraft, household employees at Mr. Wynn's residence, personal legal fees, construction work at Mr. Wynn's home and other personal purchases. Mr. Wynn fully reimburses us for such personal costs. These balances have been settled at regular intervals, usually monthly. We did not charge Mr. Wynn interest on outstanding amounts pending reimbursement. The largest unreimbursed balance of these items at any time since our inception was approximately $213,000. As of August 12, 2002, Mr. Wynn had reimbursed us for all amounts outstanding, including charges for his use of the corporate jet. We and Mr. Wynn have terminated the arrangements pursuant to which such costs are incurred by us and later reimbursed by Mr. Wynn. Mr. Wynn will deposit a credit balance for such items in the future.
Tax Overpayment. In 2001, Mr. Wynn made a substantial overpayment of his personal estimated 2001 federal income taxes to the Internal Revenue Service. Pursuant to a tax procedure set forth in Internal Revenue Service Announcement No. 2001-112, announced October 26, 2001, a taxpayer may redesignate estimated income tax payments as employment tax deposits. In reliance on this announcement, Mr. Wynn applied $5,000,000 of his overpayment to the fourth quarter employment taxes of Valvino. By using this procedure, Mr. Wynn accelerated the refund of his overpayment. In May 2002, the Internal Revenue Service issued a refund for $5,000,000 to Valvino and Valvino reimbursed this sum of money to Mr. Wynn.
Tax Indemnification Agreement. Mr. Wynn, Aruze USA, Baron Asset Fund, and the Kenneth R. Wynn Family Trust, referred to collectively as the Valvino members, Valvino and Wynn Resorts have entered into a tax indemnification agreement relating to their respective income tax liabilities. Prior to the contribution of the Valvino membership interests to Wynn Resorts, the income and deductions of Valvino passed through to the Valvino members under the rules governing partnerships for federal tax purposes and were taken into account by them at their personal tax rates. Commencing upon the contribution of the Valvino membership interests to Wynn Resorts, income and deductions are to be treated as income and deductions of Wynn Resorts, a C corporation for federal tax purposes, and are to be taken into account by it at applicable corporate tax rates. A reallocation of deductions of Valvino from the period prior to the contribution to the period commencing upon the contribution, or a reallocation of income of Wynn Resorts from the period commencing upon the contribution to the period prior to the contribution, would increase the amount of taxable income (or decrease the amount of loss) reported by the Valvino members and decrease the amount of taxable income (or increase the amount of loss, including carryforwards, or increase the
128
amount of tax basis in the assets) of Wynn Resorts. Accordingly, the tax indemnification agreement generally provides that the Valvino members will be indemnified by Wynn Resorts and its subsidiaries for additional tax costs (including interest and penalties) caused by reallocations that increase the taxable income or decrease the tax loss of the Valvino members for the period prior to the contribution of the Valvino membership interests. Any payment made pursuant to the agreement by Wynn Resorts or any of its subsidiaries to the Valvino members may be non-deductible for income tax purposes.
Purchase of Country Club Membership. In 2000, Valvino purchased a country club membership at a cost of approximately $133,400. Stephen A. Wynn was the designated user of the membership and paid all membership and other fees associated with his use of the membership. In October 2002, Mr. Wynn purchased the membership from Valvino at a cost of approximately $133,400.
Transfer of Valvino Assets. In October 2002, Valvino transferred certain of its assets, including, among other things, its interest in Wynn Group Asia, Inc., which is the indirect parent of Wynn Macau, Kevyn, LLC, Rambas Marketing Co., LLC, Toasty, LLC and WorldWide Wynn, LLC to Wynn Resorts.
Valvino intends to contribute the equity interests it holds in World Travel and Las Vegas Jet to Wynn Las Vegas prior to the consummation of this offering.
Other Intercompany Agreements. Wynn Las Vegas has entered or plans to enter into various intercompany agreements with Valvino and/or Wynn Resorts Holdings pursuant to which Wynn Las Vegas will lease the land on which the golf course, the driving range and an employee parking lot will be built, and the office building located on the 20-acre parcel located next to Le Rêve. Wynn Las Vegas will sublease space in the office building to Wynn Design & Development and Wynn Resorts and will sublease the art gallery space to Wynn Resorts Holdings. Wynn Las Vegas, World Travel and Las Vegas Jet will enter into an agreement regarding use of the corporate aircraft. Wynn Design & Development will enter into a contract with Wynn Las Vegas providing for design services in connection with Le Rêve by Wynn Design & Development to Wynn Las Vegas.
Wynn Resorts will enter into a management agreement with the restricted entities to provide management and consulting services to Valvino and its subsidiaries. The agreement will have a ten-year term, subject to earlier termination by Wynn Las Vegas for cause or upon 60 days written notice without cause. After the opening of Le Rêve, Wynn Resorts will receive an annual management fee of up to 1.5% of consolidated net revenues of Wynn Las Vegas (generally, cash revenues). In addition, Wynn Resorts will be reimbursed for all expenses incurred on behalf of Valvino and its subsidiaries. Payment of the management fee to Wynn Resorts will be subordinated to the rights of the lenders under the credit facilities, the second mortgage note holders and the lenders under the FF&E facility. Wynn Resorts will be afforded customary indemnities against liability arising in the execution of its duties.

Stockholders Agreement. Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA, together with Baron Asset Fund, have entered into a stockholders agreement. The stockholders agreement establishes various rights among Mr. Wynn, Aruze USA and Baron Asset Fund with respect to the ownership and management of Wynn Resorts. These rights include, but are not limited to, certain tag-along rights, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal and certain other restrictions on the transfer of the shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock owned by the parties to the stockholders agreement. In addition, under the stockholders agreement, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA have agreed to vote their shares of Wynn Resorts' common stock for a slate of directors, a majority of which will be designated by Mr. Wynn, of which at least two will be independent directors, and the remaining members of which will be designated by Aruze USA.

In addition, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA, to the extent they vote their shares in a similar manner, effectively will be able to control, as a practical matter, all matters requiring Wynn Resorts' stockholders' approval, including the approval of significant corporate transactions.

Buy-Out of Aruze USA Stock. Mr. Wynn, Kazuo Okada, Aruze USA, Aruze Corp. and Wynn Resorts have entered into arrangements which provide that if any gaming application
131

Mr. Wynn may pay this purchase price with a promissory note. The total purchase price will be the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the shares on the day Mr. Wynn serves Aruze USA notice of his election to purchase the shares or (2) the aggregate amount of cash contributed to Valvino by Aruze USA, minus any distributions by Valvino or Wynn Resorts to Aruze USA, plus two percent interest, compounded annually.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECOND MORTGAGE NOTES
You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading "Certain Definitions." In this description, the word "Issuers" refers collectively to Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. and not to any of their respective subsidiaries, and the words "we," "us" and "our" refer to Wynn Las Vegas and its subsidiaries.
The Issuers will issue the notes under an indenture among Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp., as joint and several obligors, Desert Inn Water Company, LLC, Wynn Design & Development, LLC, Wynn Resorts Holdings, Las Vegas Jet, LLC, World Travel, LLC, Palo, LLC and Valvino Lamore, as guarantors, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as indenture trustee. The terms of the notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Collateral Documents referred to under "Security Interests" define the terms of the agreements that will secure the notes.
The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture and the Collateral Documents. It does not restate any of those agreements in its entirety. We urge you to read the indenture and the Collateral Documents because they, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes. Certain defined terms used in this description, but not defined below under "Certain Definitions," have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture.
Brief Description of the Notes and the Guarantees
The Notes
The Issuers. Wynn Las Vegas is constructing and will own and operate Le Rêve. Wynn Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas, incorporated solely to serve as a corporate co-issuer of the notes in order to facilitate this offering. We believe that certain prospective purchasers of the notes may be restricted in their ability to purchase debt securities of limited liability companies, such as Wynn Las Vegas, unless the debt securities are jointly issued by a corporation. Wynn Capital will not have any operations or material assets and will not have any revenues. As a result, prospective purchasers of the notes should not expect Wynn Capital to participate in servicing principal, interest or other amounts required to be paid on the notes.
General terms. The notes:
133
the extent of specified net proceeds upon the occurrence of an Asset Sale or Event of Loss, and will not have any provision for sinking funds; and
Security and Ranking. The notes:
The notes will be guaranteed by the Guarantors, will be supported on a second priority basis by the Completion Guarantee, and may, under certain circumstances, be guaranteed by Wynn Resorts.
The Guarantees
The Guarantors. The notes will be guaranteed by our indirect parent, Valvino Lamore, and Valvino Lamore's direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than the Issuers and their Unrestricted Subsidiaries). Valvino Lamore and its subsidiaries (other than the Issuers and their Unrestricted Subsidiaries) are referred to as the "Restricted Entities." These subsidiaries are:
134
As of the date of the indenture, Wynn Las Vegas' only subsidiaries will be Wynn Capital, World Travel, Las Vegas Jet and the Completion Guarantor. The Completion Guarantor will be an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas.
Parent Guarantor. Wynn Resorts will not guarantee the second mortgage notes unless Wynn Resorts either incurs or guarantees certain indebtedness in excess of $10.0 million in the aggregate or guarantees other specified indebtedness. In that case, Wynn Resorts will be required to guarantee notes, but will not become subject to the restrictive covenants or other terms of the notes. The Wynn Resorts' parent guarantee may be released under certain circumstances.
General Terms, Security and Ranking. The Guarantees will be unconditional, joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. Each guarantee of the notes:
The primary purpose of the Guarantees is to provide second priority liens on the assets of the Guarantors, including the golf course, the Phase II Land, and equity interests in their Restricted Subsidiaries. While the guarantors hold assets that are integral to the Project, they are not expected to have operations that generate significant cash flows. As such, you should not expect Valvino Lamore or any of the other Guarantors to contribute to any payments of principal, interest or other amounts required to be made on the notes.
Completion Guarantee.
Wynn Resorts will make a capital contribution of $50.0 million of the net proceeds of its IPO to the Completion Guarantor. The Completion Guarantor will provide the Completion Guarantee in an amount up to $50.0 million to secure completion of the Project, secured by second priority security interests in favor of the trustee for the benefit of the Holders in the contributed funds.
135
Use of Proceeds.
The proceeds of the notes will be applied to the design, development, construction, opening and operation of the Project, and activities related and incidental thereto, in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement. Pending application to the Project, the net proceeds of this offering will be held in a secured account of Wynn Las Vegas as security for the notes.
Intercreditor Agreements.
The trustee will enter into two intercreditor agreements, a project lenders intercreditor agreement to govern the relations between the noteholders and the lenders under the Credit Agreement with respect to the Collateral (the "Project Lenders Intercreditor Agreement"), and an FF&E intercreditor agreement to govern the relations between the noteholders and the lenders under the Credit Agreement, on the one hand, and the lenders under the FF&E Facility, on the other hand, with respect to the FF&E Collateral (the "FF&E Intercreditor Agreement"). The Intercreditor Agreements will impose restrictions on payment and enforcement of the notes and the guarantees under specified circumstances.
Project Lenders Intercreditor Agreement.
The Project Lenders Intercreditor Agreement will provide that, until the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement has been repaid in full:
Under the Project Lenders Intercreditor Agreement, the note holders cannot vote to accept a plan of reorganization or other restructuring plan, unless lenders holding two-thirds of the outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement vote in favor of that plan. However, the note holders are not required to vote in favor of a plan that the lenders under the Credit Agreement approve, and are free to challenge any such plan on fundamental fairness and other grounds.
Under the Project Lenders Intercreditor Agreement, the trustee will have the exclusive right to exercise, or not to exercise, remedies against the net proceeds of this offering.
FF&E Intercreditor Agreement.
The FF&E Intercreditor Agreement will provide that, until the indebtedness under the FF&E Facility has been repaid in full:
136
The FF&E Intercreditor Agreement will permit the lenders under the Credit Agreement and, from and after 180 days after the occurrence of an event of default, the note holders, to repay off the outstanding portion of the FF&E Facility obligations that is allocable to the collateral securing the FF&E Facility (excluding amounts allocable to the Aircraft Assets) thereby obtaining the release of the security interest held by the lenders under the FF&E Facility in that collateral.
Release of Phase II Land and Golf Course Land.
The indenture will provide that upon release of the security interest in the Phase II Land under the Credit Agreement, the noteholders' security interest in the Phase II Land will be released. Upon meeting specified leverage test and debt ratings conditions and no less than three years after the Opening Date, the noteholders' security interest in the Golf Course Land will be released.
Principal, Maturity and Interest
The Issuers may issue notes in a maximum aggregate principal amount of (a) $440.0 million, less (b) the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (11) and (12) of the covenant captioned "Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Equity" other than through the issuance of additional notes under the indenture. $340.0 million of this maximum aggregate principal amount will be issued in this offering. The Issuers may issue additional notes from time to time after this offering. Any offering of additional notes is subject to the covenant described below under the caption "Certain CovenantsIncurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Equity." The notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Issuers will issue notes in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The notes will mature on , 2010.
Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of % per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on and , commencing on , 2003. The Issuers will make each interest payment to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding and .
Interest will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Optional Redemption
At any time prior to , 2005, the Issuers may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture at a redemption price of % of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (other than the IPO), so long as
137
notes held by Wynn Resorts, any of its Affiliates, any of their respective employees or the Existing Stockholders); and
Except pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the notes will not be redeemable at the Issuers' option prior to , 2006.
After , 2006, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on of the years indicated below:

Gaming Redemption
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Gaming Authority requires a holder or beneficial owner of notes to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable gaming law and the holder or beneficial owner (1) fails to apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within 30 days after being requested to do so (or such lesser period as required by the Gaming Authority), or (2) is notified by a Gaming Authority that it will not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the Issuers will have the right, at their option, to:
in each case, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to the earlier of (1) the date of redemption or such earlier date as is required by the Gaming Authority or (2) the date of the finding of unsuitability by the Gaming Authority, which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption.
Immediately upon a determination by a Gaming Authority that a holder or beneficial owner of notes will not be licensed, qualified or found suitable, the holder or beneficial owner will not have any further rights with respect to the notes to:
138
The Issuers are not required to pay or reimburse any holder or beneficial owner of notes who is required to apply for such license, qualification or finding of suitability for the costs relating thereto. Those expenses will be the obligation of the holder or beneficial owner.
Mandatory Redemption
The Issuers will not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.
Guarantees
General
The Guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited as necessary to reduce the risk that the Guarantee would be avoidable as a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. See "Risk FactorsRisks Related to the Offering and the Second Mortgage Notes." Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to avoid guarantees and the liens securing the guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from us or the Guarantors.
The Guarantees will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Guarantors as more fully described under "Security InterestsSecurity for the Guarantees." In the event that Wynn Resorts becomes a Parent Guarantor by issuing a Parent Guarantee, that Parent Guarantee may be secured by a security interest in all or specified existing or future assets of Wynn Resorts, and may constitute senior or subordinated Indebtedness of Wynn Resorts, as more fully described in the section captioned "Certain CovenantsRestrictions on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Guarantees by Wynn Resorts."
Release of Guarantees
Subject to compliance with the provisions of the covenant captioned "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets," the Guarantee of a Guarantor and the security interests granted by that Guarantor to secure its Guarantee will be released:
See "Repurchase at the Option of HoldersAsset Sales," "Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries" and "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets."
In addition to the release of the Guarantees by Wynn Resorts Holdings or Valvino Lamore pursuant to the provisions described above, the security interests of the noteholders in the
139
real property assets owned by Wynn Resorts Holdings and Valvino Lamore may be released under the circumstances described below under "Security InterestsRelease of Golf Course Land and Phase II Land." The Parent Guarantee, if any, of Wynn Resorts may be released as described under the covenant entitled "Restrictions on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Guarantees by Wynn Resorts."
Security Interests
Security for the Notes
General. Subject to Permitted Liens and to the extent permitted by Gaming Laws and other applicable laws, the notes will be secured by, among other things:
Under Nevada gaming laws, a gaming licensee is not permitted to grant a security interest in any gaming or other license issued by the Nevada Gaming Authorities. As a result, the notes will not be secured by any such gaming licenses.
Secured Account. Pending application to the Project, the net proceeds of this offering will be held in a secured account of Wynn Las Vegas (the "Secured Account") by a securities intermediary, on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the holders of the notes. The Secured Account will be established pursuant to a secured account agreement (the "Secured Account Agreement") to be entered into among the Issuers, the securities intermediary and the trustee. The funds in the Secured Account will be required to be invested in Permitted Securities at the direction of Wynn Las Vegas. The trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, will have a perfected first priority security interest in the funds and Permitted Securities held in
140
the Secured Account. Neither the lenders under the Credit Agreement nor the FF&E Facility will have a security interest in the Secured Account or the funds held in it.
Release of funds from the Secured Account will be subject to satisfaction of the conditions to funding each disbursement request contained in the Disbursement Agreement. If those conditions have been satisfied, the Disbursement Agent will transfer the necessary funds to the disbursement account created under the Disbursement Agreement. Those funds will then be disbursed to or as directed by Wynn Las Vegas in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement and applied to the development and construction of the Project, in each case in accordance with the Project Budget. See "Disbursement Agreement."
Completion Guarantee Deposit Account. Wynn Completion Guarantor, LLC, one of Wynn Las Vegas' Wholly Owned Unrestricted Subsidiaries (the "Completion Guarantor") will provide a $50.0 million Completion Guarantee in favor of the trustee (for the benefit of the note holders) and the administrative agent (for the benefit of the lenders under the Credit Agreement). The Completion Guarantor will, subject to a $50.0 million cap, guarantee Completion in full of the construction and opening of the Project, including all furniture, fixtures and equipment, the parking structure, the golf course and the availability of initial working capital. Wynn Resorts will make a common equity capital contribution (the "Completion Guarantee Capital Contribution"), concurrently with the closing of this offering and the IPO, of $50.0 million of the net proceeds of the IPO to the Completion Guarantor to support its obligations under the Completion Guarantee. These funds will be deposited into a collateral account (the "Completion Guarantee Deposit Account") to be held in cash and/or Permitted Securities. The lenders under the Credit Agreement will have a first priority security interest in the funds in the Completion Guarantee Deposit Account, and the trustee will have a second priority security interest in the funds in the Completion Guarantee Deposit Account for the benefit of the Holders. Amounts in the Completion Guarantee Deposit Account may be applied to the costs of the Project in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement. Pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement, these funds will be available to Wynn Las Vegas on a gradual basis to apply to the costs of the Project only after fifty percent of the construction work has been completed. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement or the indenture, the lenders under the Credit Agreement or, if no amounts are outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the holders of the notes will be permitted to exercise remedies against such sums and apply such sums against the obligations under their respective documents. Upon the Completion Guarantee Release Date, any amounts then remaining in the Completion Guarantee Deposit Account will be released to Wynn Las Vegas, after reserving necessary amounts for completion of punchlist items and disputed claims which may distribute such funds at its discretion, including to Wynn Resorts, and the Completion Guarantor will be dissolved. See "Disbursement AgreementCompletion Guarantee Deposit Account."
Liquidity Reserve Account. Wynn Resorts will, concurrently with the closing of this offering and the IPO, make a common equity capital contribution (the "Liquidity Reserve Capital Contribution") to Wynn Las Vegas in an amount equal to $30.0 million of the net proceeds of the IPO. Wynn Las Vegas will deposit these funds in a liquidity reserve account (the "Liquidity Reserve Account") to be held in cash and/or Permitted Securities. The Liquidity Reserve Account will secure Completion in full of the construction and opening of the Project. The lenders under the Credit Agreement will have a first priority security interest in the funds in the Liquidity Reserve Account, and the trustee will have a perfected second priority security interest in the funds in the Liquidity Reserve Account for the benefit of the noteholders. Amounts in the Liquidity Reserve Account may be applied to the costs of the Project, including cost overruns, in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement. Pursuant to the
141
Disbursement Agreement, these funds will be available to Wynn Las Vegas on a gradual basis to apply to the costs of the Project, commencing after fifty percent of the construction work has been completed. Upon the Completion Date, any amounts then remaining in the Liquidity Reserve Account will, to the extent funds are not otherwise available from operations, be used solely to pay debt service under the Credit Agreement and/or the notes until such time as the actual Consolidated EBITDA of Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the period of four full consecutive fiscal quarters of Wynn Las Vegas equals or exceeds certain specified Consolidated EBITDA levels. At such time, any amounts then remaining in the Liquidity Reserve Account, if any, must be used to reduce the amounts then outstanding under the revolving loans under the Credit Agreement without reducing the corresponding commitments under the Credit Agreement. See "Disbursement AgreementLiquidity Reserve Account."
Security for the Guarantees
Subject to Permitted Liens, and to the extent permitted by Gaming Laws and other applicable laws, the Guarantees will be secured by, among other things:
The Guarantees will not be secured by a security interest in the Aircraft Assets.
As noted above, under Nevada gaming laws, a gaming licensee is not permitted to grant a security interest in any gaming or other license issued by the Nevada Gaming Authorities. As a result, the Guarantees by the Guarantors will not be secured by any such gaming licenses.
142
Release of Golf Course Land and Phase II Land
The noteholders' security interests in all or certain portions of the Golf Course Land (and the related Water Rights, if applicable) and in all of the Phase II Land may be released under the circumstances described below. Upon any such release of those security interests, the disposition or transfer of such assets will no longer be subject to any of the restrictive covenants in the indenture.
Release of All of the Golf Course Land. The security interests in all of the Golf Course Land, the equity interests in Desert Inn Improvement Co. and/or Desert Inn Water Company, LLC and the DIIC Water Permits (other than the DIIC Casino Water Permit) will be released so long as:
143
Release of Portions of the Golf Course Land. The security interests granted by Wynn Resorts Holdings in approximately 20 acres of the Golf Course Land will be released if the lenders under the Credit Agreement concurrently release their first priority security interest in such Golf Course Land, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing immediately prior to or after giving effect to that release. It will not be deemed to be a release of the first priority security interests requiring the automatic release by the noteholders if the release of the first priority lien is as a result of an extension, refinancing, renewal, replacement, amendment and restatement, restatement, defeasance or refunding (collectively, a "refinancing") of the Credit Agreement as a result of which the first priority liens in favor of the administrative agent (for the benefit of the lenders under the Credit Agreement) are replaced with liens in favor of the lenders or holders of such refinancing Indebtedness. In the event that, following the automatic release of the noteholders' security interest in approximately 20 acres of the Golf Course Land, Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries grants a security interest in any or all of such portions to secure such refinancing Indebtedness or any guarantee thereof, such Person will concurrently grant a security interest in such portions of the Golf Course Land in favor of the trustee to secure the notes (or, if such Person is a Guarantor, its guarantee of the notes). That security interest in favor of the trustee will be a second priority security interest, subject only to the liens securing the refinancing Indebtedness or the guarantee of such Indebtedness, as applicable, and other Permitted Liens.
The Credit Agreement currently provides that the lenders will release their security interests in approximately 20 acres of the Golf Course Land when Wynn Las Vegas achieves a specified minimum level of Consolidated EBITDA for four consecutive fiscal quarters and satisfies certain conditions relating to water required for the Le Rêve casino water features and the golf course and requires that the development of those released parcels as residential or other non-gaming related developments not interfere with the operation of the Golf Course Land or otherwise impair the overall value of the property. The lenders under the Credit Agreement may amend or waive any of their conditions to the release of their security interests without the consent of the noteholders and may determine to release their liens under different circumstances, which would nevertheless result in the automatic release of the second priority liens by the noteholders.
Release of Homesite Acreage. The security interests in approximately two acres of the Golf Course Land will be released in order to permit the construction of a personal residence for Stephen A. Wynn, so long as:
144
Release of the Phase II Land. The security interests granted by Valvino Lamore in the Phase II Land to secure its obligations under its Guarantee will be released if the lenders under the Credit Agreement concurrently release their first priority security interest in the Phase II Land, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing immediately prior to or after giving effect to that release. It will not be deemed to be a release of the first priority security interests requiring the automatic release by the noteholders if the release of the first priority lien is as a result of a refinancing of the Credit Agreement as a result of which the first priority liens in favor of the administrative agent (for the benefit of the lenders under the Credit Agreement) are replaced with liens in favor of the lenders or holders of such refinancing Indebtedness. In the event that, following the automatic release of the noteholders' security interest in the Phase II Land, Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries grants a security interest in any or all of the Phase II Land to secure such refinancing Indebtedness or any guarantee thereof, such Person will concurrently grant a security interest in such Phase II Land in favor of the trustee to secure the notes (or, if such Person is a Guarantor, its guarantee of the notes). That security interest in favor of the trustee will be a second priority security interest, subject only to the liens securing the refinancing Indebtedness or the guarantee of such Indebtedness, as applicable, and other Permitted Liens). The foregoing provisions will not permit the release of any portions of the Phase II Land on which an Entertainment Facility is being constructed or has been constructed.
The Credit Agreement currently provides that the lenders will release their security interests in the Phase II Land when Wynn Las Vegas achieves specified minimum levels of Consolidated EBITDA for either two or four consecutive fiscal quarters, so long as the Valvino
145
Water Permit Transfer has occurred and, if any of the Entertainment Facility is built on the Phase II Land, that portion of the Phase II Land has been transferred to Wynn Las Vegas. The lenders under the Credit Agreement may amend or waive any of their conditions to the release of their security interests without the consent of the noteholders and may determine to release their liens under different circumstances, which would nevertheless result in the release of the second priority liens by the noteholders.
Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes
If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuers, the Issuers will pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that Holder's notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Issuers elect to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at the addresses provided in the register of Holders.
Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes
The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. The Issuers may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders, and either or both of the Issuers or any of their subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.
Transfer and Exchange
A Holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Issuers are not required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption. Also, the Issuers are not required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be redeemed.
Repurchase at the Option of Holders
Change of Control
If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of notes will have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that holder's notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuers will offer a payment (the "Change of Control Payment") in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes repurchased, to the date of purchase. Within 10 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will mail a notice to each holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes on the date (the "Change of Control Payment Date") specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in such notice.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers will, to the extent lawful:
146
The paying agent will promptly mail to each holder of notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any. Each such new note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. The Issuers will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
The provisions described above that require the Issuers to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable regardless of whether any other provisions of the indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions that permit the holders to require that the Issuers repurchase or redeem notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.
The Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of Wynn Las Vegas, its Restricted Subsidiaries and the Restricted Entities, taken as a whole, or Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require the Issuers to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person or group may be uncertain.
Asset Sales
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
147
For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:
After the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by Wynn Las Vegas, any Restricted Entity or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, the applicable entity:
In any such case, the Restricted Entities shall take all necessary action to ensure that the security interest of the trustee, on behalf of the holders, continues as a perfected security interest (subject only to the security interest securing the Credit Agreement and other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements) on any property or assets acquired or constructed with the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale on the terms set forth in the indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the other Collateral Documents. Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the applicable entity may (1) apply the Net Proceeds to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under any secured unsubordinated Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (2) invest the Net Proceeds in Cash Equivalents which will be subject to a perfected security interest (subject only to the security interest securing the Credit Agreement and other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements) in favor of the trustee as security for the notes.
The Credit Agreement requires Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, in certain circumstances, to apply the sale proceeds from an Asset Sale to repay the loans under the Credit Agreement. In such circumstances, until the debt under the Credit Agreement has been repaid in full, there will not be any Net Proceeds. As a result, in that case, the operative provisions of this covenant will not apply, and no Asset Sale Offers will be made to the note holders.
148
Once the Credit Agreement has been repaid in full, any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within 10 days following the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, Wynn Las Vegas will make an offer (an "Asset Sale Offer") to all holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the applicable entity may use those Excess Proceeds for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by the indenture and the Collateral Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the trustee will select the notes to be purchased as described below under "Selection and Notice." Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.
Events of Loss
After any Event of Loss of Collateral comprising the Project occurring after the Final Completion Date in an amount of up to $500.0 million (measured as the greater of the fair market value or the replacement cost of the Collateral subject to such Event of Loss), Wynn Las Vegas, the applicable Restricted Entity or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply the Net Loss Proceeds from the Event of Loss to the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction of improvements to the Project, with no obligation to make any purchase of any notes; so long as, in the case of any such Collateral with a fair market value (or replacement cost, if higher) in excess of $15.0 million but less than or equal to $500.0 million:
However, if the damaged Collateral is not necessary for and is not used in the operation of the Permitted Business of the Project, the applicable entity may apply the Net Loss Proceeds to make a capital expenditure, improve real property or acquire long-term assets that are used or useful in a line of business permitted by the covenant described below under the caption "Certain CovenantsLine of Business."
The ability of Wynn Las Vegas, any Restricted Entities or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to repair or restore any of the Collateral following an Event of Loss that occurs on or prior to the Final Completion Date will be governed by the Disbursement Agreement.
149
The Credit Agreement requires Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, in certain circumstances, to apply the loss proceeds from an Event of Loss to repay the loans under the Credit Agreement. In such circumstances, until the debt under the Credit Agreement has been repaid in full, there will not be any Net Loss Proceeds. As a result, in that case, the operative provisions of this covenant will not apply, and no Event of Loss Offers will be made to the note holders.
Once the Credit Agreement has been repaid in full, any Net Loss Proceeds that are not (1) permitted to be used to repair or restore the Collateral pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement, (2) reinvested as provided in the first sentence of this covenant or (3) permitted to be reinvested because those Net Loss Proceeds exceed $500.0 million, in each case, will be deemed "Excess Loss Proceeds." Within 10 days following the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, Wynn Las Vegas will make an offer (an "Event of Loss Offer") to all holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Loss Proceeds. The offer price in any Event of Loss Offer will be 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Loss Proceeds remain after consummation of an Event of Loss Offer, the applicable entity may use those Excess Loss Proceeds for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by the indenture and the Collateral Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of notes tendered into such Event of Loss Offer exceeds the Excess Loss Proceeds, the trustee will select the notes to be purchased as described below under "Selection and Notice." Upon completion of each Event of Loss Offer, the amount of Excess Loss Proceeds will be reset at zero.
Pending their application, all Net Loss Proceeds will either be (1) applied to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, or (2) invested in Cash Equivalents held in an account in which the trustee has a perfected security interest for the benefit of the Holders, subject only to the security interest securing the Credit Agreement and other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements. These funds and securities will be released to the applicable entity to pay for or reimburse that entity for either (1) the actual cost of a permitted use of Net Loss Proceeds as provided above, or (2) the Event of Loss Offer, pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents. The applicable entity will grant to the trustee, on behalf of the Holders, a security interest, subject only to the security interest securing the Credit Agreement and other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, on any property or assets rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed with such Net Loss Proceeds on the terms set forth in the indenture and the Collateral Documents.
In the event of an Event of Loss pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of "Event of Loss" with respect to property or assets that have a fair market value (or replacement cost, if greater) in excess of $10.0 million, the applicable entity, will be required to receive consideration:
Restrictions on Repurchase of Notes
The agreements governing our other indebtedness, including the Credit Agreement and the FF&E Facility, may prohibit certain events, including a Change of Control or an Asset Sale, or provide that such events constitute events of default under such agreements. Similarly, those agreements may prohibit or restrict Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities and their
150
respective Restricted Subsidiaries from repairing or restoring the Collateral following an Event of Loss regardless of whether that repair or restoration is permitted under the indenture. In addition, the exercise by the holders of notes of their rights to require Wynn Las Vegas to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Offer, an Asset Sale Offer or Event of Loss Offer, as the case may be, could cause a default under these other agreements. Finally, Wynn Las Vegas' ability to pay cash to the holders of notes upon a repurchase under a Change of Control Offer, Asset Sale Offer or Event of Loss Offer may be limited by Wynn Las Vegas' then existing financial resources. See "Risk FactorsRisks Related to the Offering and the Second Mortgage NotesWe may not be able to fulfill our repurchase obligations with respect to the second mortgage notes upon a change of control."
Compliance with Securities Laws
The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent these laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, an Asset Sale Offer or an Event of Loss Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control, Asset Sale or Event of Loss provisions of the indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under these provisions of the indenture by virtue of such conflict.
Selection and Notice
If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the trustee will select notes for redemption or purchase as follows:
No notes of $1,000 or less can be redeemed or purchased in part. However, if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, will be redeemed or purchased. Notices of redemption or purchase will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption or purchase date to each Holder of notes to be redeemed or purchased at its registered address. Notices of redemption or purchase may not be conditional.
If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of the note that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the Holder of notes upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on notes or portions of them called for redemption.
151
Certain Covenants
Restricted Payments
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:
152
available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus
With respect to (a) any payments made pursuant to clauses (1), (2), (3), (6), (7), (8), (9), (11), (12), (13), (14), (15) and (16) below, so long as no Default or Event of Default has
153
occurred and is continuing or would be caused by the payments, and (b) any payments made pursuant to clauses (4), (5) and (10) below, regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused by the payment, the preceding provisions will not prohibit:
154
The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued to or by the applicable entity pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined in good faith by the applicable entity's board of directors whose resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the trustee. At the same time as the delivery of the financial information required to be delivered under clause (1) of the covenant captioned "Reports," Wynn Las Vegas will deliver to the trustee an officers' certificate describing in reasonable detail all of the Restricted Payments made during the period to which such financial
155
information relates, stating that such Restricted Payments were permitted when made and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this "Restricted Payments" covenant were computed.
Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Equity
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (1) create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), or (2) issue any Disqualified Stock or shares of preferred stock. Notwithstanding the above, Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), if (1) the Opening Date has occurred and (2) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of Wynn Las Vegas for Wynn Las Vegas' most recently ended four full fiscal quarters following the Opening Date for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred (the "Reference Period") would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis, including a pro forma application of the net proceeds from the Indebtedness, as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.
The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):
156
Payment under the covenant captioned "Restricted Payments") owing to Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, so long as:
157
158
Neither Wynn Las Vegas nor any Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated (except for the priority of Permitted Liens and except as otherwise contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreements) in right of payment to the notes, in the case of Wynn Las Vegas, or the Guarantee contained in its Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in the case of a Guarantor on substantially identical terms. No Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or any Guarantor will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or any such Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured.
For purposes of determining compliance with this "Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Equity" covenant, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (13) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this
159
covenant, the Issuers will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant.
Liens
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or any proceeds, income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens.
Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries of Wynn Las Vegas
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any of Wynn Las Vegas' Restricted Subsidiaries to:
However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
160
Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets
No Issuer or Guarantor may, directly or indirectly, (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Issuer or the Guarantor is the surviving entity) or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of (a) Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (b) Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (c) in the case of a Guarantor, that Guarantor, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:
161
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Guarantor may consolidate or merge with or into another Guarantor, or sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to another Guarantor, so long as (1) the conditions in clauses (3), (4) and (7) of the preceding paragraph are satisfied, and (2) such Guarantor or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or the Guarantor to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made, as the case may be, is Solvent.
In addition, no Issuer or Guarantor may, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person. This "Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets" covenant will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets (excluding any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or disposition of assets that would otherwise be subject to this covenant from a Person that is a Guarantor to a Person, other than Wynn Las Vegas, that is not a Guarantor):
162
For purposes of this covenant, a sale of properties or assets by a Guarantor shall not constitute a sale of "substantially all of the properties or assets" of that Guarantor if, following that sale, the Guarantor owns or holds (1) any of the Water Rights for the Project (excluding Water Rights that are then Released Assets) or (2) any of the Phase II Land or the Golf Course Land, (excluding any such land that is then a Released Asset).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wynn Las Vegas and each Guarantor is permitted to reorganize as a corporation pursuant to a Permitted C-Corp. Conversion.
Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries
The board of directors of Wynn Las Vegas may designate any Restricted Subsidiary, other than Wynn Capital, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas if that designation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated will be deemed to be an Investment made in an Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the covenant described above under the caption "Restricted Payments" or Permitted Investments, as determined by Wynn Las Vegas. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The board of directors of Wynn Las Vegas may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas to be a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas if the redesignation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default.
None of the Restricted Entities and their Subsidiaries (other than Wynn Las Vegas and its Subsidiaries and Desert Inn Water Company) is permitted to have Unrestricted Subsidiaries. As a result, all future Subsidiaries of the Restricted Entities (other than Wynn Las Vegas and its Subsidiaries and Desert Inn Improvement Co.) will be Restricted Subsidiaries and subject to the restrictive covenants contained in the indenture.
Transactions with Affiliates
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an "Affiliate Transaction") unless:
163
The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:
164
Construction
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will, and will cause each of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, construct the Project, including the furnishing, fixturing and equipping of the Project, with diligence and continuity in a good and workmanlike manner substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications.
Limitations on Use of Proceeds
Wynn Las Vegas will deposit all of the net proceeds of the offering of the notes into the Secured Account. The funds in the Secured Account will be invested solely in Permitted Securities. All funds in the Secured Account will be disbursed only in accordance with the Secured Account Agreement and the Disbursement Agreement.
Limitation on Status as Investment Company
The Issuers and Guarantors will not be or become required to register as an "investment company" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), or otherwise become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Sale and Leaseback Transactions
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction (except with respect to the FF&E Collateral or the Aircraft Assets so long as, and to the extent that, such FF&E Collateral or Aircraft Assets, as the case may be, are not Collateral), unless:
165
transaction in compliance with, the covenant described above under the caption "Repurchase at the Option of HoldersAsset Sales."
Line of Business
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business or investment activities other than the Permitted Business. Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, conduct a Permitted Business in any gaming jurisdiction in which such entity is not licensed on the date of the indenture if the holders of the notes would be required to be licensed as a result thereof, except that this sentence will not prohibit any entity from conducting a Permitted Business in any jurisdiction that does not require the licensing or qualification of all the holders of notes, but reserves the discretionary right to require the licensing or qualification of any holders of notes.
Limitation on Development of Phase II Land
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, at any time prior to the date on which the security interests in the Phase II Land are released in accordance with the covenant captioned "Release of Security Interests":
Notwithstanding anything herein or above, Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities and their respective subsidiaries may:
166
Limitation on Development of Golf Course Land
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, at any time prior to the date on which the security interests in all of the Golf Course Land are released in accordance with the covenant entitled "Release of Security Interests":
Notwithstanding anything herein or above, Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries may:
167
Restrictions on Payments of Management Fees
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities will not, and will not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
Any Management Fees not permitted to be paid during a particular 12-month period pursuant to this covenant will be deferred and will accrue. Such accrued and unpaid Management Fees may be paid in any subsequent 12-month period to the extent such payment would be permitted under this covenant and the Management Fees Subordination Agreement.
Under the Management Fees Subordination Agreement, the right to receive payment of the Management Fees will be subordinated in right of payment to the right of the holders of notes to receive payments pursuant to the notes and the Guarantees. Under this agreement, Management Fees will be payable semi-annually in arrears on the tenth Business Day following the date on which interest payments are payable on the notes. Management Fees may be paid only if, among other things, the interest payable on the notes through the applicable interest payment date and the interest payable on the loans under the Credit Agreement through such interest payment date has been paid in full.
Advances to Guarantors
All advances to Guarantors made by Wynn Las Vegas, any Restricted Entity or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries after the date of the indenture will be unsecured, will be evidenced by intercompany notes and will be pledged pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

175
Restrictions on Activities of Wynn Capital
Wynn Capital will not hold any material assets, hold any Equity Securities, incur any Indebtedness, become liable for any obligations, engage in any business activities or have any Subsidiaries. However, Wynn Capital may be a co-obligor with respect to Indebtedness if Wynn Las Vegas is a primary obligor of such Indebtedness and the net proceeds of such Indebtedness are received by Wynn Las Vegas or one or more of Wynn Las Vegas' Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries other than Wynn Capital.
Reports
Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any notes are outstanding, the Issuers will furnish to the holders of notes, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations:
If Wynn Las Vegas has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Wynn Las Vegas.
Events of Default and Remedies
Each of the following is an Event of Default:
176
of the other agreements in the indenture not set forth in clause (3) above, or failure by Wynn Resorts for 60 days after receipt of written notice from the trustee to comply with the provisions of the Wynn Resorts Agreement or, if applicable, any Parent Security Agreement;
and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10.0 million or more;
177
of Wynn Las Vegas or any Restricted Entity, or the Parent Guarantee, if any, shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or the Completion Guarantor, any Restricted Entity, any Restricted Subsidiary, or the Parent Guarantor, if any, or any Person acting on behalf of any such Person, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee or, as the case may be, its Parent Guarantee;
In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to either Issuer, any Significant Restricted Entity, any group of Restricted Entities that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Restricted Entity, any Significant Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas, all outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately.
Holders of the notes may not enforce the indenture or the notes except as provided in the indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and in the other Collateral Documents. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The trustee may withhold from holders of the notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium, if any.
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding by notice to the trustee may on behalf of the holders of all of the notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the notes.
In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas or any Restricted Entity, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Issuers would have had to pay if the Issuers then had elected to redeem the notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of the indenture, an equivalent premium will also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of
178
the notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to , 2006, by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas or any Restricted Entity, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the notes prior to , 2006, then the premium specified in the indenture will also become immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the notes.
The Issuers are required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the indenture and the Collateral Documents. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
Remedies upon Default Under the Notes
Under certain circumstances, the trustee may initiate a foreclosure against all or a portion of the Collateral if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. A foreclosure against the Collateral will be subject to certain notice and other procedural limitations under Gaming Laws and laws applicable to secured creditors generally, and to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements.
Enforcement of Collateral Documents
Generally, if an Event of Default occurs, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the trustee, acting on behalf of the holders, can enforce its rights and remedies under the indenture and the Collateral Documents. These remedies include (1) commencing a judicial proceeding to seek monetary judgments against either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas or any Restricted Entity, and any Guarantor, (2) foreclosing on and selling the Collateral covered by the Deeds of Trust, and perfected Liens on personal property Collateral, and (3) enforcing the assignments of rents and leases. However, legal and procedural restrictions may impair the exercise by the trustee of its rights and remedies. See "Gaming Law Limitations on Foreclosure," "Bankruptcy Limitations on Foreclosure" and "Nevada Public Utility Commission Limitations on Foreclosure."
Rights in the Pledged Collateral
So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to certain terms and conditions in the indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the other Collateral Documents, Wynn Las Vegas and each Guarantor will be entitled to receive the benefit of all cash dividends, interest and other payments made upon or with respect to the Collateral pledged by that entity and to exercise any voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral pledged by that entity. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and, subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the limitations in the Intercreditor Agreements and the exercise by the trustee of its rights under the Collateral Documents:
179
Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be deemed to restrict the ability of Wynn Las Vegas to make the Restricted Payments permitted to be made during the occurrence of an Event of Default under the covenant captioned "Certain CovenantsRestricted Payments."
Intercreditor Agreements
The Intercreditor Agreements may prevent timely payment on the notes if a default has occurred.
Under the intercreditor agreement between the trustee and the agent under the Credit Agreement, until the debt under the Credit Agreement has been repaid in full, the lenders under the Credit Agreement will have the exclusive right to exercise remedies against the Collateral and to determine the circumstances and manner in which the Collateral may be disposed, subject to the rights of the lenders under the FF&E Facility with respect to the FF&E Collateral. Similarly, until the debt under the FF&E Facility has been repaid in full, the lenders under the FF&E Facility will have the exclusive right to sell the FF&E Collateral or exercise other remedies against the FF&E Collateral.
Gaming Law Limitations on Granting of Security Interests
The ability of Wynn Las Vegas or any Guarantor to grant security interests in the Collateral is limited by Nevada gaming laws. Under Nevada gaming laws, none of Wynn Las Vegas or the Guarantors may grant a security interest in (1) the gaming and other licenses issued to them by the Nevada Gaming Authorities or (2) unless consented to in advance by the Nevada Gaming Authorities, the ownership interests of any person that holds any such license.
Gaming Law Limitations on Foreclosure
The trustee's ability to foreclose upon the Collateral will be limited by Nevada gaming laws. These laws require that persons who own or operate a casino or own or lease gambling equipment or gambling supplies hold a gaming license. No person can hold a gaming license in Nevada unless the person is found qualified or suitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities. During any foreclosure proceeding, the trustee could seek the appointment of a receiver through a petition to the appropriate Nevada state court to take possession of the Collateral. The receiver may be required to obtain the approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities to continue gaming operations until the foreclosure sale. If the trustee acquired the Collateral in a foreclosure sale, it may contract for the operation of the Collateral by an independent operator who would be required to comply with the licensing requirements and other restrictions imposed by the Nevada Gaming Authorities, pursuant to an arrangement under which the holders of the notes would not share in the profits or losses of gaming operations. In addition, if the trustee acquires and operates the Collateral, the trustee and the holders of the notes will, if they share in the profits and losses, and may, in any event, be required to comply with the licensing requirements under the Nevada gaming laws. In any foreclosure sale, licensing requirements under the Nevada Gaming Control Act may limit the number of potential bidders and may delay the sale of the Collateral, either of which could adversely affect the sale price of the Collateral. See "Risk FactorsRisks Related to the Offering and the Second Mortgage NotesBankruptcy laws may significantly impair your creditors' rights to
180
repossess and dispose of collateral securing the second mortgage notes," "In the event that a bankruptcy court orders the substantive consolidation of Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Capital with certain affiliated parties, payments on the second mortgage notes could be delayed or reduced" and "Contract rights under agreements serving as collateral for the second mortgage notes may be rejected in bankruptcy."
Bankruptcy Limitations on Foreclosure
The right of the trustee to repossess and dispose of Collateral upon the occurrence of an Event of Default is likely to be significantly impaired by applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws if a proceeding under those laws were to be commenced by or against Wynn Resorts or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the trustee having repossessed and disposed of the Collateral. Under the Bankruptcy Code, a secured creditor, such as the trustee, is prohibited from repossessing its security from a debtor in a bankruptcy case, or from disposing of security repossessed from such debtor, without bankruptcy court approval.
In addition, the Bankruptcy Code permits a debtor to continue to retain and to use collateral (and the proceeds, products, offspring, rents or profits of that collateral) even though the debtor is in default under the applicable debt instruments, so long as the secured creditor is given "adequate protection." The meaning of the term "adequate protection" may vary according to the circumstances, but it is intended in general to protect the value of the secured creditor's interest in the collateral and may include, if approved by the bankruptcy court, cash payments or the granting of replacement liens or additional security for any diminution in the value of the collateral as a result of the stay of repossession or the disposition or any use of the collateral by the debtor during the pendency of the bankruptcy case. The bankruptcy court has broad discretionary powers in all these matters, including the valuation of the collateral and the nature, accessibility or value of any other collateral that may be substituted for it. Also, since the enforcement of the trustee's security interest in the Collateral consisting of cash, deposit accounts and cash equivalents may be limited in a bankruptcy proceeding, the holders may not have any consent rights with respect to the use of those funds by Wynn Resorts or any of its Subsidiaries during the pendency of the proceeding.
In view of these considerations, we cannot predict how long payments under the notes could be delayed following commencement of a bankruptcy case, whether or when the trustee could repossess or dispose of the Collateral or whether or to what extent holders would be compensated for any delay in payment or loss of value of the Collateral.
Public Utilities Commission of Nevada Limitations on Foreclosure
Nevada Revised Statutes 704.668 prohibits small water utilities such as Desert Inn Improvement Co. from selling or otherwise disposing of water rights without the prior approval of the Nevada PUC. In a separate subsection of the statute, prior Nevada PUC approval is also required in order for a small water utility to encumber its water rights by way of mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or otherwise. Desert Inn Improvement Co. will seek Nevada PUC approval to encumber the water rights held by it. See "Certain CovenantsNevada PUC Approvals." The Nevada PUC may also require a prior application if a sale or transfer were to occur by way of a foreclosure, since such an event would result in the water rights being taken out of the total control of the utility.
181
Real Property Collateral
Before pursuing any foreclosures or otherwise executing on any of the Collateral, the trustee will need to consider the effect of Nevada law, which requires that where a debt is secured by real property, the debtor may require the creditor to exhaust its real property security before pursuing a judicial proceeding to obtain a monetary judgment against the debtor. If a creditor attempts to collect the indebtedness without first exercising its remedies under its deed of trust, the debtor could defend such action by requiring the creditor to first exhaust its rights under the deed of trust through statutory foreclosure proceedings. If, however, the debtor permitted the creditor to obtain a judgment without first exhausting remedies under the deed of trust, assuming such action was not stayed or dismissed before the entry of a final monetary judgment, then under Nevada law the security interest granted by the deed of trust would be released and discharged. This Nevada law is referred to as the "one action" rule.
Real property pledged as security may be subject to known and unknown environmental risks or liabilities which can adversely affect the property's value. In addition, under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, known as CERCLA, for example, a secured lender may be held liable, in certain limited circumstances, for the costs of remediating a release of or preventing a threatened release of hazardous substances at a mortgaged property. There may be similar risks under state laws or common law theories.
Under CERCLA, a person "who, without participating in the management of a... facility, holds indicia of ownership primarily to protect his security interest" is not a property owner, and thus not a responsible person under CERCLA. Lenders have seldom been held liable under CERCLA. The lenders who have been found liable have generally been found to have been sufficiently involved in the mortgagor's operations so that they have "participated in the management of the borrower." CERCLA does not specify the level of actual participation in management. CERCLA was amended in 1996 to provide certain "safe harbors" for foreclosing lenders. However, the courts have not yet issued any definitive interpretations of the extent of these safe harbors. There is currently no controlling authority on this matter.
The trustee may appoint one or more collateral agents, who may be delegated any one or more of the duties or rights of the trustee under the Collateral Documents or which are specified in any Collateral Documents.
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Equity Holders
No director, officer, employee, incorporator, organizer, equity holder or member of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Wynn Las Vegas or any Restricted Entity, or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any such Restricted Subsidiary or any Guarantor under the notes, the indenture, the Collateral Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
The Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have all of their obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes, all of the obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Guarantees and all obligations of the Issuers and the
182
Guarantors discharged with respect to the Collateral Documents ("Legal Defeasance") except for:
In addition, the Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Issuers, the Restricted Entities, the Restricted Subsidiaries of Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities, and any Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the indenture ("Covenant Defeasance") and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events) described under "Events of Default and Remedies" will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes.
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:
183
Collateral Release Mechanics
Under the terms of the Collateral Documents but subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the trustee will determine the circumstances and manner in which the Collateral will be disposed of, including the determination of whether to release all or any portion of the Collateral from the security interests created by the Collateral Documents and whether to foreclose on the Collateral following an Event of Default. The Collateral may be released from the security interests created by the Collateral Documents upon the request of the Issuers pursuant to an officers' certificate certifying that all terms for release and conditions precedent under the indenture and under any applicable Collateral Document have been met and specifying (1) the identity of the Collateral to be released and (2) the provisions of the indenture or the applicable Collateral Document which authorize that release.
Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the trustee will release the Liens in favor of the trustee (at the sole cost and expense of the Issuers) on:
184
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
Except as provided in the next three succeeding paragraphs, the indenture and the notes, the Collateral Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the indenture, the notes or the Collateral Documents may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).
Without the consent of each holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any notes held by a non-consenting holder):
185
Notwithstanding the preceding, without the consent of any holder, the Issuers, any Restricted Entity, any Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas or any Restricted Entity, or any Guarantor, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the trustee may amend or supplement the indenture, the notes or the Collateral Documents to:
Satisfaction and Discharge
The indenture and the Collateral Documents will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued under the indenture, when:
186
cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;
In addition, the Issuers must deliver an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel to the trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Concerning the Trustee
If the trustee becomes a creditor of either Issuer or any Guarantor, the indenture limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions. However, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign.
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture will provide that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any holder of notes, unless that holder shall have offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.
Governing Law
The Collateral Documents generally provide for the application of the internal laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that (1) the laws of Nevada are mandatory or (2) the validity or perfection of security interests in respect of certain items of Collateral (such as real property) is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where that collateral is located. The indenture, the notes, any Guarantees of the notes and the Collateral Documents will provide, with certain exceptions, for the application of the internal laws of the State of New York. There is no certainty regarding whether New York or Nevada law would be applied by any court with respect to the enforcement of remedies under the notes, the indenture, any Guarantees of the notes or the Collateral Documents.
Book-Entry, Delivery and Form
Except as described in the next paragraph, the notes will be issued in the form of one or more global notes (the "Global Notes"). The Global Notes will be deposited on the date of the closing of this offering with The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC (such nominee being referred to herein as the "Global Note Holder").
187
Notes that are issued as described below under "Certificated Notes" will be issued in the form of registered definitive certificates (the "Certificated Notes"). Upon the transfer of Certificated Notes, Certificated Notes may, unless all of the Global Notes have previously been exchanged for Certificated Notes, be exchanged for an interest in the Global Note representing the principal amount of notes being transferred, subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the note indenture.
DTC has advised the Issuers that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created to hold securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the "Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the "Indirect Participants"). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.
DTC has also advised the Issuers that, pursuant to procedures established by it:
Prospective purchasers are advised that the laws of some states require that certain Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to such extent.
So long as the Global Note Holder is the registered owner of any notes, the Global Note Holder will be considered the sole holder under the indenture of any notes evidenced by the Global Notes. Beneficial owners of notes evidenced by the Global Notes will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any directions, instructions or approvals to the trustee. Neither the Issuers nor the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records of DTC or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of DTC relating to the notes.
Payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on a Global Note registered in the name of the Global Note Holder on the applicable record date will be payable by the trustee to or at the direction of the Global Note Holder in its capacity as the registered holder of the notes under the indenture. Under the terms of the indenture, the Issuers and the trustee will treat the Persons in whose names the notes, including the Global Notes, are registered as the owners of the notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither the Issuers, the trustee nor any agent of the Issuers or the trustee has or will have any responsibility or liability for:
188
Indirect Participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the Global Notes; or
DTC has advised the Issuers that its current practice, upon receipt of any payment in respect of securities such as the notes (including principal and interest), is to credit the accounts of the relevant Participants with the payment on the payment date unless DTC has reason to believe it will not receive payment on such payment date. Each relevant Participant is credited with an amount proportionate to its beneficial ownership of an interest in the principal amount of the relevant security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by the Participants and the Indirect Participants to the beneficial owners of notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the Participants or the Indirect Participants and will not be the responsibility of DTC, the trustee or the Issuers. Neither the Issuers nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC or any of its Participants in identifying the beneficial owners of the notes, and the Issuers and the trustee may conclusively rely on and will be protected in relying on instructions from DTC or its nominee for all purposes.
Certificated Notes
If:
then, upon surrender by the Global Note Holder of its Global Notes, notes in certificated form will be issued to each Person that the Global Note Holder and DTC identify as being the beneficial owner of the related notes. All such Certificated Notes will be subject to the legend requirements set forth in the indenture.
Neither the Issuers nor the trustee will be liable for any delay by the Global Note Holder or DTC in identifying the beneficial owners of notes, and the Issuers and the trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the Global Note Holder or DTC for all purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS
The following discussion summarizes the material terms of certain material agreements to which certain of our subsidiaries will be parties. However, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant agreements described herein.
Credit Facilities
Wynn Las Vegas will enter into credit facilities with a syndicate of lenders and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc, as lead arranger and joint book running manager, Banc of America Securities LLC, as lead arranger, joint book running manager and syndication agent, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., as arranger and joint book running manager, Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc., as joint documentation agent, Dresdner Bank AG, New York Branch, as arranger and joint documentation agent, and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as joint documentation agent, as follows:
When borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility equal or exceed $200 million, lead arrangers holding a majority of the commitments of the lead arrangers will have the right to convert $100 to $400 million of the amounts outstanding under our revolving loan to term loans, on the same terms and conditions as those made under our delay draw term loan facility. The commitments of the lenders to make revolving loans to us will be permanently reduced by the amount of any revolving loans that are converted to term loans, and the outstanding loans under our delay draw term loan facility will be correspondingly increased.
We expect to use a total of $713.2 million of the proceeds of the credit facilities to finance development and construction of Le Rêve and to meet our pre-opening expenses and debt service obligations with an additional anticipated $33.8 million of such proceeds being available to us for debt service in the event that it takes us longer to complete Le Rêve than we expect. After Le Rêve opens, the issuers and the restricted entities may use any remaining revolving credit availability, including the final $3 million of availability which may not be used until Le Rêve is completed, for operating expenses and other general corporate purposes.
Interest and Fees
Subject to certain exceptions, amounts borrowed under the credit facilities will bear interest, as follows:
229
Wynn Las Vegas will be required to obtain interest rate protection through interest rate swaps, caps or other similar arrangements against increases in the interest rates with respect to not less than $125 million of term loan availability, and up to $200 million of revolving credit loans that are converted to term loans.
Until Le Rêve opens, Wynn Las Vegas will pay, quarterly in arrears, 2.00% per annum on the daily average of unborrowed availability under our revolving credit facility.
After Le Rêve opens, the annual fee Wynn Las Vegas will be required to pay for unborrowed amounts, if any, under our revolving credit facility will be determined by a grid based on our leverage ratio. For unborrowed amounts under our delay draw term loan facility, Wynn Las Vegas will pay, quarterly in arrears, 2.50% per annum from the closing date until December 31, 2002, 3.00% per annum from January 1, 2003 to June 30, 2003 and after June 30, 2003, 4.00% per annum, in each case, calculated based on the daily average of the unborrowed amounts under our delay draw term loan facility.
Completion Guarantee
A special purpose subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas will be providing a $50 million completion guarantee in favor of the lenders under the credit facilities and the holders of the second mortgage notes to secure completion in full of the construction and opening of Le Rêve, including all furniture, fixtures and equipment, the parking structure, the golf course and the availability of initial working capital. Wynn Resorts will contribute $50 million of the net proceeds of its initial public offering to that subsidiary to support that subsidiary's obligations under the completion guarantee. These funds will be deposited into a collateral account to be held in cash or short-term highly rated securities, and pledged to the senior lenders under the credit facilities and the holders of the second mortgage notes as security for the completion guarantee. Pursuant to the disbursement agreement, these funds will become available to us on a gradual basis to apply to the costs of the project only after fifty percent of the Le Rêve construction work has been completed. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our credit facilities or the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, the lenders under our credit facilities or, if no amounts are outstanding under our credit facilities, the holders of the second mortgage notes, will be permitted to exercise remedies against such sums and apply such sums and apply such sums against the obligations under their respective documents. After completion and opening of Le Rêve, any amounts remaining in this account will be released to Wynn Resorts.
Guarantees
Under the credit facilities, subsidiaries and certain affiliates of Wynn Las Vegas will be considered restricted entities and will guarantee the obligations of Wynn Las Vegas under the credit facilities. In the event that Wynn Resorts guarantees other specified indebtedness prior to meeting a prescribed leverage ratio and debt rating test, then Wynn Resorts will also be required to guarantee the credit facilities and the second mortgage notes, subject to certain limited exceptions. The obligations of each guarantor under its guarantee will be limited as necessary to reduce the risk that the guarantee would be treated as a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. Each guarantee of the obligations under the credit facilities will be a senior secured obligation of each guarantor, secured by a security interest in certain of the guarantors' existing and future assets, and will rank pari passu in right of payment with any
230
existing and future senior indebtedness of the guarantors. In addition, each guarantee will rank senior in right of payment to all of the existing and future subordinated indebtedness of each guarantor.
Security
Subject to certain exceptions, compliance with all applicable laws, including gaming laws and regulations, and obtaining any necessary regulatory approvals, our obligations under the credit facilities will be secured (subject to permitted liens) by:
If Wynn Resorts pledges assets to secure guarantees of other specified indebtedness prior to meeting prescribed leverage ratio and debt rating tests, then the credit facilities may be secured by liens of equal priority on the same Wynn Resorts assets. The security interests in these assets may be released if certain tests are met.
Wynn Las Vegas' obligations under the credit facilities will not be secured by any interest in the secured account holding the proceeds of the second mortgage notes.
231
Prepayments
Wynn Las Vegas will be required to make mandatory prepayments of indebtedness under the credit facilities from the net proceeds from all asset sales and condemnations, debt offerings (other than those constituting permitted debt) and, subject to a reinvestment period, asset sale and insurance or condemnation proceeds received by the issuers and the restricted entities, in each case with specified exceptions. Wynn Las Vegas will also be required to make mandatory payments of indebtedness under the credit facilities from a percentage of our excess cash flow, initially 75%, and decreasing based on our leverage ratio to 50%, and then to be eliminated. Wynn Las Vegas will have the option to prepay all or any portion of the indebtedness under the credit facilities at any time without premium or penalty.
Covenants
The issuers and the restricted entities will be required to comply with negative and affirmative covenants, including, among other things, limitations on:
Additionally, the issuers and the restricted entities will be required to comply with certain financial ratios and other financial covenants such as:
Conditions to Availability of Funds
The conditions to all borrowings before final completion of Le Rêve will consist of those set forth under the disbursement agreement. See "Disbursement Agreement." Borrowings of revolving loans after final completion of Le Rêve will be subject to prior written notice of borrowing, the accuracy of representations and warranties, the absence of any default or event of default and certain other customary conditions to borrowing.
232
Events of Default
The credit facilities will contain customary events of default, including the failure to make payments when due, defaults under other material agreements or instruments of indebtedness of specific amounts, loss of material licenses or permits (including gaming licenses), failure or inability to complete Le Rêve by the outside completion date (subject to force majeure extension), loss of material contracts, noncompliance with covenants, material breaches of representations and warranties, bankruptcy, judgments in excess of specified amounts, ERISA matters, impairment of security interests in collateral, change of control and, prior to final completion of Le Rêve, specified events under the disbursement agreement, subject in some cases to applicable notice provisions and grace periods. See "Disbursement Agreement." Events of default will apply to the issuers and the restricted entities and, in some cases, to Wynn Resorts.
FF&E Facility
Wynn Las Vegas has entered into an engagement letter with Bank of America, N.A., Banc of America Leasing & Capital LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. for a $188.5 million FF&E facility, and the placement agent for the FF&E facility has received commitments from the lenders who will enter into the FF&E facility. The FF&E facility will provide financing and refinancing for furniture, fixtures and equipment to be used at Le Rêve. Wynn Las Vegas intends to use approximately $28.5 million of the FF&E facility to refinance a loan made by Bank of America, N.A. to World Travel by means of a loan to be evidenced by an intercompany note from World Travel, secured by an aircraft mortgage on World Travel's Bombardier Global Express aircraft. Valvino acquired World Travel from Mr. Wynn and has guaranteed the Bank of America loan. Valvino intends to contribute the equity interests it holds in World Travel to Wynn Las Vegas prior to the consummation of this offering. Wynn Las Vegas may use additional proceeds of the FF&E facility to finance up to 75% of the purchase price of other furniture, fixtures or equipment or refinance other furniture, fixtures or equipment purchased with the proceeds of this offering or other funds. With respect to borrowings under the FF&E facility, Wynn Las Vegas will have the same interest rate elections and pricing at corresponding levels as under the credit facilities. Wynn Las Vegas may also use proceeds of the FF&E facility to refinance a replacement corporate aircraft, in which case Wynn Las Vegas would request the FF&E lenders to increase the total commitment under the FF&E facility by $10.0 million to $198.5 million. Entering into the FF&E facility will be a condition to the consummation of this offering.

Any such waivers or amendments shall be effective with respect to the second mortgage notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to the Phase II land and the golf course parcel and related collateral, any such waiver or amendment approved by the lenders under the credit facilities shall not release liens on the collateral or modify any provisions of the second mortgage notes indenture without the consent of the trustee. The agent under our credit facilities is further authorized to effect certain amendments regarding the scope of the project without the consent of the trustee, the holders of the second mortgage notes or the FF&E lenders. See "Disbursement Agreement."

Intercreditor Arrangements in Bankruptcy
The project lenders intercreditor agreement provides that in any bankruptcy of Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Capital or any of the guarantors, the trustee and the second mortgage note holders shall not:
(1) payment of expenses reasonably necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the business of Wynn Las Vegas or Wynn Capital, or for the preservation of the collateral;
(2) payment of debt secured by liens upon the collateral that are senior to the liens securing the second mortgage notes; or
(3) payment of bankruptcy administrative expenses;
The foregoing provisions shall not restrict the trustee and the second mortgage note holders from voting unsecured claims based upon the indebtedness owed on the second mortgage notes, or from contesting any valuation of the collateral asserted for purposes of valuing the secured claims of the lenders under the credit facilities and/or the second mortgage note holders (except that the trustee and the second mortgage note holders shall not have the right to assert the lack of adequate protection of their liens as a basis for opposing relief sought in the bankruptcy that has been approved by the agent under our credit facilities.)
Certain Waivers by Second Mortgage Note Holders
Under the project lenders intercreditor agreement, the second mortgage note holders waive certain rights generally afforded junior creditors relative to senior creditors under applicable law, including each of the following:
(1) the disbursement of any funds under the credit facilities (even if conditions to such advances have not been satisfied, so long as the maximum amount of senior lien debt permitted by the second mortgage notes indenture is not exceeded, See "Description of the Second Mortgage Notes");
(2) a change in the dates or terms for payments under our credit facilities;
236
(3) an increase or reduction in the available credit under the credit facilities or the amounts payable on debt outstanding thereunder (provided that the maximum amount of senior lien debt permitted by the second mortgage notes indenture is not exceeded, See "Description of the Second Mortgage Notes");
(4) failure to take necessary or appropriate action to enforce or perfect any lien; or
(5) any exercise of rights or remedies under any security documents with respect to the credit facilities.
The second mortgage note holders further waive any claim that the agent under our credit facilities has any duty, to keep the trustee or the second mortgage note holders informed as to circumstances bearing upon the risk of non payment of the credit facilities or the second mortgage notes.
Intercreditor Arrangements Also Applicable to Refinancing
The project lenders intercreditor agreement provides that the intercreditor arrangements described above also shall apply to any replacement debt arising as a consequence of refinancing of the credit facilities.
FF&E Intercreditor Agreement
Pursuant to the FF&E intercreditor agreement, the bank agent on behalf of the lenders under the credit facilities, the trustee on behalf of the second mortgage note holders, and the FF&E agent on behalf of the FF&E lenders agree to various concepts concerning the relative rights and obligations of such lenders. The following summary of the material provisions of the FF&E intercreditor agreement is not meant to be complete and you should review the FF&E intercreditor agreement for a complete statement of its terms and conditions, including the definitions of terms used below. The FF&E intercreditor agreement focuses in particular on the exercise of remedies in respect of the furniture, fixtures and equipment financed under the FF&E facility, referred to as the FF&E collateral, and includes the following material provisions:
Lien Priorities.
Under the FF&E intercreditor agreement, the FF&E agent, the bank agent and the trustee acknowledge and agree to the following lien priorities with respect to the collateral from and after the initial disbursement of loans under the FF&E facility other than the disbursement in respect of the refinancing of the aircraft:
237
restricted entities except that the second mortgage note holders shall have a first priority security interest in the proceeds of this offering.
In addition, each party has agreed not to challenge the other's liens.
Standstill Period.
Should an event of default occur under the FF&E facility (i.e., after expiration of any applicable cure period afforded to us), then subject to certain limitations, the delivery of notice to such effect to the agent under our credit facilities and to the trustee shall commence a standstill period of 30 days, referred to as the "standstill period." The bank agent, or the trustee, if there is no outstanding bank debt at the time of the event of default, shall have the right to extend the standstill period for 30 days, if the event of default occurs before completion of Le Rêve, or 15 days, if the event of default occurs after completion of Le Rêve, in each case, so long as all interest, fees, indemnities and expenses of the FF&E lenders have been paid current.
The FF&E intercreditor agreement provides that, unless otherwise agreed by the bank agent, or, if there is no indebtedness outstanding under the credit facilities, by the trustee, the FF&E lenders will not accelerate the FF&E facility, exercise any other remedies or terminate their lending commitment until after the expiration of the standstill period, as so extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the FF&E lenders shall be permitted to exercise remedies against Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Capital and the FF&E collateral if a bankruptcy proceeding has been initiated by or against against Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Capital or the guarantors or if the lenders under our credit facilities or the second mortgage note holders have commenced exercising remedies against us or the guarantors.
If during the standstill period, as extended, all defaults under the FF&E facility are cured or waived to the satisfaction of the FF&E lenders and all defaults under the credit facilities are cured or waived to the satisfaction of the bank agent and the bank agent notifies the FF&E lenders that it has elected to reinstate the credit facilities and recommence funding under the credit facilities in accordance with the terms of the credit facilities, then the FF&E lenders also must reinstate the FF&E facility and recommence funding under the FF&E facility in accordance with the terms of the FF&E facility. Subject to certain exceptions, the foregoing standstill provisions shall apply only to the first event of default that occurs during the period prior to completion of the project and the first event of default that occurs during the period after completion of the project.
Payoff of Debt Allocable to FF&E Collateral and Release of FF&E Lenders Lien on FF&E Collateral.
Under the FF&E intercreditor agreement, the bank agent and the trustee have the right to obtain the release of the lien of the FF&E lenders upon the FF&E collateral, other than the aircraft collateral, by paying off all indebtedness under the FF&E facility other than the portion of such indebtedness allocable to the aircraft collateral. Any such payment must include payment of all such amounts in full, including LIBOR breakage charges (if applicable), provided that such payment shall not include any prepayment premiums or like charges payable under the terms of the FF&E facility.
238
Provisions Relating to Junior Liens on FF&E Collateral.
The FF&E intercreditor agreement includes the following provisions which apply to the liens of the lenders under the credit facilities and the second mortgage note holders on the FF&E collateral:
Until and unless the indebtedness under the FF&E facility (other than the portion thereof allocable to the aircraft collateral) is paid in full as described under the subheading "Payoff of Debt Allocable to FF&E Collateral and Release of FF&E Lenders Lien on FF&E Collateral" above, the bank agent and the trustee shall not be permitted to exercise any remedies with respect to the FF&E collateral following a default under the credit facilities or indenture governing the second mortgage notes without the prior consent of the FF&E lenders. In particular, neither the bank agent nor the trustee will have the right to commence foreclosure proceedings against all or any portion of the FF&E collateral, or take other actions with respect to the FF&E collateral, without the written consent of the FF&E lenders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, under the FF&E intercreditor agreement each of the bank agent and the trustee, subject to terms of the project lenders intercreditor agreement, have the right, subject to certain limitations, upon a default under the credit facilities or the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, as the case may be:
In any bankruptcy proceeding of Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Capital or any of the guarantors, as debtor, the FF&E intercreditor agreement prohibits the bank agent and the trustee, in their capacities as junior lienholders on the FF&E collateral, from:
239
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the bank agent and the trustee shall not be in any respect restricted in voting any unsecured claims or claims secured by their collateral (other than their junior liens on the FF&E collateral) based upon the indebtedness owed on the credit facilities or the second mortgage notes, as applicable.
Under the FF&E intercreditor agreement, each of the bank agent and the trustee waive each of the following with respect to their junior liens on the FF&E collateral:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, the FF&E intercreditor agreement provides that these limitations apply to the bank agent, the lenders under the credit facilities, the trustee and the second mortgage note holders solely in their respective capacities as holders of liens secured by the FF&E collateral. Nothing in the FF&E intercreditor agreement prevents or precludes the bank agent, the lenders under the credit facilities, the trustee or the second mortgage note holders from taking any action or asserting rights or claims which such parties may be entitled to take or assert in any other capacity, including as holders of unsecured claims against us or as lenders secured by collateral other than the FF&E collateral.
Cooperation with Foreclosure Purchaser.
The FF&E intercreditor agreement requires the bank agent and the trustee to cooperate with any person or entity that acquires the FF&E collateral in a foreclosure or other sale proceeding to remove the FF&E collateral from the project. After any such foreclosure
240
proceeding and the expiration of certain specified time periods, pending such removal by such purchaser, the bank agent and the trustee may remove such FF&E collateral and insure and store the same at their cost for the purchaser. Such purchaser shall be required to pay the costs of such storage and insurance from and after the expiration of a specified time period. The FF&E intercreditor agreement provides that such actions are not intended to prevent the lenders under our credit facilities or the second mortgage note holders from foreclosing on their collateral, other than the FF&E collateral.
Prepayment of Bank Facility and FF&E Facility.
Except for refinancings of our credit facilities or the FF&E facility, each of the credit facilities and the FF&E facility shall require all prepayments by us under either such facility, other than prepayments from proceeds of the collateral, to be accompanied by a pro rata prepayment of the other facility and, in the case of the FF&E facility, between the debt allocable to the airplane collateral and the debt allocable to the other FF&E collateral (in each case, based on the outstanding principal amount of each such facility). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments of the revolving credit facility which are not accompanied by a corresponding reduction in the commitment under such facility shall be permitted without a corresponding prepayment of the FF&E facility.
Insurance Proceeds.
Prior to completion of Le Rêve, the FF&E intercreditor agreement requires all casualty insurance proceeds to be used to repair the damaged property to the extent provided in the disbursement agreement. Subsequent to completion of the project, our right to use casualty insurance proceeds to rebuild shall be subject to the terms of the credit facilities and the indenture governing the second mortgage notes.
If we are not permitted to use the proceeds for rebuilding (whether before or after completion), then the FF&E intercreditor agreement will require that the proceeds be allocated between the FF&E collateral and the other collateral securing the credit facilities and the second mortgage notes as follows:
Any amounts so allocated shall be applied to reduce the indebtedness secured by such collateral, in order of priority.
Right to Remove FF&E Collateral.
After the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the FF&E facility, pursuant to the FF&E intercreditor agreement, the FF&E lenders have the following rights, subject to the limitations on exercise of remedies applicable during a standstill period:
241
Information Regarding Company.
Under the FF&E intercreditor agreement, the FF&E lenders, the lenders under the credit facilities and the second mortgage note holders each are responsible for keeping themselves informed of our financial condition and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the respective debts owed to each of them. None of the bank agent, the FF&E agent or the trustee shall have any responsibility to advise any of the others (or the members of the others' lending groups) of such information or circumstances.
Intercreditor Arrangements Also Applicable to Refinancing.
The FF&E intercreditor agreement provides that if the indebtedness under the FF&E facility is refinanced in accordance with the indenture governing the second mortgage notes and with the consent of the bank agent, the intercreditor arrangements described above shall apply to the replacement debt as well, and the bank agent and the trustee shall execute such documentation as reasonably may be requested to effect such arrangements.
242
Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Capital and Wynn Design & Development will enter into a disbursement agreement with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as the bank agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the second mortgage note trustee, Wells Fargo Bank Nevada, National Association, as the FF&E agent, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as the disbursement agent. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the contract itself.
General
The disbursement agreement will set forth our material obligations to construct and complete Le Rêve and will establish a line item budget and a schedule for construction of Le Rêve. The disbursement agreement also will establish the conditions to, and the relative sequencing of, the making of disbursements from the proceeds of the credit facilities, the FF&E facility and the second mortgage notes, and will establish the obligations of the bank agent and the FF&E facility agent to make disbursements under the credit facilities and the FF&E facility and the obligation of the second mortgage note trustee to release funds from the second mortgage notes proceeds account upon satisfaction of such conditions. The disbursement agreement also will set forth the mechanics for approving change orders and amendments to the project budget and the schedule for the construction period. Finally, the disbursement agreement will include certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that are common to the credit facilities, the FF&E facility and second mortgage notes.
Under the disbursement agreement, we will only be permitted to use the proceeds of the credit facilities, the FF&E facility and the second mortgage notes to pay for project costs related to Le Rêve and subject to certain limitations, corporate overhead and related costs.
We expect to commence construction of Le Rêve in October 2002, and we have incurred, and prior to the initial disbursement of debt proceeds will continue to incur, significant costs in connection with Le Rêve. Prior to borrowing any amounts under the credit facilities or the FF&E facility or receiving any disbursements from the secured account holding the proceeds of the second mortgage notes, we will be required to use a portion of the proceeds of Wynn Resorts' offering of common stock, and our other available funds, to commence construction of Le Rêve. Pursuant to the disbursement agreement, as a condition to borrowing under the credit facilities or the FF&E facility or receiving disbursements from the secured accounts, we will be required to submit evidence acceptable to the construction consultant that the construction of Le Rêve has been completed to that point in accordance with our plans and specifications, on budget and on schedule.
Funding Order
The disbursement agreement will set forth the sequencing order in which funds from the various sources will be made available to us. Under the disbursement agreement, we will pay for construction costs and financing costs (including interest during construction):
243
With respect to the costs of acquiring and installing furniture, fixtures and equipment to be financed by the FF&E facility referred to as the FF&E collateral, we will be able to obtain borrowings under the FF&E facility to cover 75% of the cost of such FF&E collateral, selected by the lenders under our FF&E facility, as and when necessary to pay for such items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for the amounts required to refinance the purchase of the airplane, the FF&E lenders shall not be required to advance funds for acquiring or installing FF&E collateral until after exhaustion of the equity proceeds and the proceeds from the issuance of the second mortgage notes. Except with regards to the airplane, to the extent that funding is required for FF&E collateral in advance of the exhaustion of the second mortgage notes proceeds, such funding will be achieved through draws on the equity proceeds and the second mortgage notes proceeds (and the bank agent and the trustee will receive a lien on the FF&E collateral so financed). Upon satisfaction of the conditions to the initial funding under the FF&E facility (and as a condition to the commencement of funding under the credit facilities), the FF&E facility will deposit into the company's funds account described below an amount equal to 75% of the amounts previously disbursed from the equity proceeds and the second mortgage notes proceeds to pay for such FF&E costs approved by the FF&E lenders, and the bank agent and the trustee will subordinate their liens on the FF&E collateral to the lien of the FF&E lenders. The amounts so deposited into the company's funds account shall be drawn upon to pay (i) the budgeted costs and (ii) 25% of the cost to acquire and install FF&E collateral next subject to disbursement, until exhausted.
Immediately prior to completion of the project, the agent under our FF&E facility shall obtain an appraisal of the fair market value of the FF&E collateral (excluding the aircraft) in its brand new condition (and without giving effect to depreciation caused by the fact that such FF&E may have been delivered and/or installed prior to such appraisal). If the aggregate amount of loans advanced under the FF&E facility is more than 75% of the fair market value of the FF&E collateral (excluding the aircraft) as determined by such appraisal, the lenders under our FF&E facility will be permitted to substitute any items of FF&E collateral for other eligible items of FF&E or, absent such other items, add items of FF&E to the FF&E collateral such that the aggregate amount of loans advanced under the FF&E facility shall equal 75% of the appraised value of the FF&E collateral (excluding the aircraft).
Accounts
In order to implement the funding of disbursements, the disbursement agreement will call for the establishment of certain accounts, each of which will, subject to certain exceptions, be pledged to the lenders under the credit facilities and the holders of second mortgage notes, provided that the secured account holding the proceeds of the second mortgage notes will be pledged to the second mortgage note holders only.
Such accounts will include the following:
Company's Funds Account
There shall be deposited into the company's funds account, among other things:
244
under the project documents and the insurance policies, amounts paid to Wynn Las Vegas under the Austi construction guaranty and any payment and performance bond;
Subject to certain exceptions, amounts on deposit in the company's funds account shall, from time to time:
Investment income from permitted investments on amounts on deposit in the company's funds account shall be deposited at all times therein until applied as set forth in the disbursement agreement.
Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account
The net proceeds of the second mortgage notes will be deposited into the second mortgage notes proceeds account. Amounts on deposit in the second mortgage notes proceeds account shall be held in escrow and invested in permitted investments by the disbursement agent until transferred, from time to time, by the disbursement agent to the disbursement account for the payment of the costs set forth in the budget. Investment income from amounts on deposit in the second mortgage notes proceeds account shall be deposited therein until applied as set forth in the disbursement agreement.
Disbursement Account
There shall be deposited in the disbursement account all funds advanced from time to time by the lenders under the credit facilities, all funds advanced from time to time by the FF&E lenders, and all funds withdrawn by the disbursement agent from the company's funds account and the second mortgage notes proceeds account. Subject to certain exceptions, amounts on deposit in the disbursement account shall be applied to pay project costs and/or transferred by the disbursement agent to the cash management account or the interest payment account.
Cash Management Account
On the closing date, an agreed upon amount shall be deposited into the cash management account. Subject to certain exceptions, Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Capital and Wynn Design & Development shall be permitted from time to time to draw checks on and otherwise withdraw amounts on deposit in the cash management account to pay costs set forth in the budget that are then due and payable. Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Capital and Wynn
245
Design & Development shall be permitted from time to time to request advances to replenish amounts drawn from, and/or to increase the amount on deposit in, the cash management account by satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in the disbursement agreement (unless such conditions precedent are waived) and by delivering certificates, invoices and other items demonstrating that all previous withdrawals from the account have been applied to pay costs in accordance with the project budget. The balance in the cash management account initially will not be allowed to exceed a specified amount, provided that this limit on amounts on deposit in the account may be increased from time to time to an amount mutually agreed upon by Wynn Capital, Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Design & Development and the disbursement agent (in consultation with the construction consultant).
Interest Payment Account
On each advance date until the completion date, funds shall be withdrawn from the disbursement account and deposited in the interest payment account to the extent necessary to pay interest and fees under the credit facilities, the second mortgage notes and the FF&E facility due and payable on or after the requested advance date and prior to the next advance date. Amounts on deposit in the interest payment account shall be applied by the disbursement agent to pay interest and fees under the credit facilities, the second mortgage notes and the FF&E facility, in each case, on the dates that such amounts become due and payable.
Operating Account
There shall be deposited in the operating account all revenues received by Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Capital or Wynn Design & Development as a consequence of sales of goods or rendering of services in the ordinary course of business prior to the completion date. In addition, there shall be deposited in the operating account funds transferred from the company's funds account to pay operating costs prior to the completion date (excluding certain cash held on site in connection with ordinary casino operations). Subject to the disbursement agent's rights upon the occurrence of an event of default, Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Capital and Wynn Design & Development shall be permitted from time to time to draw checks on and otherwise withdraw amounts on deposit in the operating account to pay due and payable operating costs. Until the opening date, if the amounts on deposit in the operating account exceed a specified amount, such excess shall be withdrawn and deposited in the company's funds account (provided that pre-opening deposits made by customers shall not be counted for purposes of determining whether this threshold has been exceeded). The foregoing limit on amounts on deposit in the operating account shall be increased upon opening to an amount mutually agreed upon by Wynn Capital, Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Design & Development and the disbursement agent.
Completion Guarantee Deposit Account
A special purpose subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas will be providing a $50 million completion guarantee in favor of the lenders under the credit facilities and the holders of the second mortgage notes to secure completion in full of the construction and opening of Le Rêve, including all furniture, fixtures and equipment, the parking structure, the golf course and the availability of initial working capital. Wynn Resorts will contribute $50 million of the net proceeds of its initial public offering to that subsidiary to support that subsidiary's obligations under the completion guarantee. These funds will be deposited into a collateral account to be held in cash or short-term highly rated securities, and pledged to the senior lenders under the credit facilities and the holders of the second mortgage notes as security for the completion guarantee. Pursuant to the disbursement agreement, these funds will become
246
available to us on a gradual basis to apply to the costs of the project only after fifty percent of the Le Rêve construction work has been completed. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our credit facilities or the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, the lenders under our credit facilities or, if no amounts are outstanding under our credit facilities, the holders of the second mortgage notes, will be permitted to exercise remedies against such sums and apply such sums against the obligations under their respective documents. After completion and opening of Le Rêve, any amounts remaining in this account will be released to Wynn Resorts.
Liquidity Reserve Account
As security for Wynn Las Vegas' obligation to complete the project, Wynn Resorts will also deposit $30 million of the proceeds of its offering of common stock into the liquidity reserve account. Until the completion and opening of Le Rêve, amounts on deposit in the liquidity reserve account shall, from time to time, be transferred to the company's funds account for application to pay budgeted costs in accordance with the disbursement agreement. Following the completion and opening of Le Rêve, these funds will be available to meet our debt service needs in connection with the operation of Le Rêve. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the credit facilities or the indenture governing the second mortgage notes, the lenders under our credit facilities or, if no amounts are outstanding under our credit facilities, the second mortgage note holders, will be permitted to exercise remedies against such sums and apply such sums against the obligations under their respective debt documents. Once Wynn Las Vegas has met prescribed cash flow tests for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters after the opening of Le Rêve, we will use any remaining funds to reduce the outstanding amounts under our revolving credit facility, but without reducing the revolving credit facility commitment.
Funding Conditions
From the initial funding of the second mortgage notes and until final completion has been achieved, we will be required to satisfy conditions precedent before we are permitted to receive funds from the disbursement accounts. These conditions will include, among others:
247
From the initial funding of the second mortgage notes through exhaustion of the amounts on deposit in the second mortgage notes proceeds account, the trustee (acting under the indenture) shall be entitled to waive the conditions precedent to advances under the disbursement agreement with respect to advances from the second mortgage notes proceeds account and the company's funds account without bank agent's or the FF&E agent's consent. After exhaustion of the amounts on deposit in the second mortgage note proceeds account, the bank agent (acting under the credit facilities agreement) shall be entitled to waive the conditions precedent to advances under the disbursement agreement with respect to advances under the credit facilities and from the company's funds account without the trustee's or the FF&E agent's consent. The FF&E agent (acting under the FF&E facility agreement) shall at all times be entitled to waive the conditions precedent to advances under the disbursement agreement with respect to advances under the FF&E facility without the bank agent's or the trustee's consent.
Changes to Construction Budget and Schedule
The disbursement agreement will contain guidelines for the construction consultant and the disbursement agent to permit amendments to the budget and the plans and specifications. These conditions will generally be the same as conditions to disbursement that relate to the project and the budget.
248
The guidelines will only permit increases to any line item category to the extent of the sum of:
We may, from time to time, amend the project schedule to extend the completion date, but not beyond September 30, 2005, by delivering to the disbursement agent a certificate describing the amendment and complying with the conditions set forth above with respect to the changes in the project budget that will result from the extension of the completion date. We have the ability to extend the completion date for a limited period beyond September 30, 2005 due to force majeure events.
Covenants
The disbursement agreement contains various affirmative covenants with which we are obligated to comply, such as:
249
The disbursement agreement will also require us and the restricted entities to comply with negative covenants. These covenants will limit, among other things, our and the restricted entities' ability to:
From and after the first funding under the credit facilities, the bank agent, without the consent of the trustee or the lenders under our FF&E facility, shall have the right to agree with Wynn Las Vegas, Wynn Capital and Wynn Design & Development to reduce the scope of the project, so long as after giving effect to the amendment:
250
See "Risk FactorsRisks Related to the Offering and the Second Mortgage NotesBecause we have multiple lenders, holders of the second mortgage notes may be disadvantaged by actions taken by one or more of our other lenders" and "Intercreditor AgreementsProject Lenders Intercreditor Agreement."
Exercise of Remedies on Default
The disbursement agreement will provide that each of the following constitutes an "event of default" thereunder:
251
Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the disbursement agreement, our lenders will be permitted to exercise remedies, including one or more of the following:
Pursuant to the project lenders intercreditor agreement and subject to certain limitations, from and after the first funding under the credit facilities, the lenders under the credit facilities will have the right (without obtaining the holders of the second mortgage notes' consent) to waive certain defaults under the disbursement agreement. Except for the 20-acre parcel and portions of the golf course parcel, any such waiver or amendment approved by the lenders under the credit facilities shall not be permitted to effect any release of liens on the collateral without the consent of the trustee. See "Risk FactorsRisks Related to the Offering and the Second Mortgage NotesBecause we have multiple lenders, holders of the second mortgage notes may be disadvantaged by actions taken by one or more of our other lenders" and "Intercreditor AgreementsProject Lenders Intercreditor Agreement."
The disbursement agreement will terminate after final completion occurs, all work has been completed and all contractors have been paid.
252
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
General
The following is a general discussion of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the second mortgage notes by an investor who acquires beneficial ownership of a second mortgage note pursuant to this offer. Those consequences will differ depending on whether the investor is a U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder.
As used herein, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of a second mortgage note who is for United States federal income tax purposes (1) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; (2) a corporation created in or organized under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof; (3) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (4) a trust if (A) the administration of the trust is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996, was treated as a United States person under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), in effect immediately prior to such date and has made a valid election to be treated as a United States person under the Code.
As used herein, a "Non-U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of a second mortgage note that is not a U.S. Holder.
If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the second mortgage notes, the treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. A holder of second mortgage notes that is a partnership and partners in such partnership should consult their tax advisors about the United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the second mortgage notes.
This summary assumes that investors hold second mortgage notes as "capital assets" under the Code and does not discuss special situations, such as those of (1) holders who are broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations, individual retirement accounts and other tax deferred accounts, financial institutions, partnerships or other passthrough entities, insurance companies, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, foreign personal holding companies, or corporations that accumulate their earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; (2) certain former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States, or (3) persons holding second mortgage notes as part of a hedging or conversion transaction, a straddle, a constructive sale or synthetic securities transaction or that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked, or modified, possibly with retroactive effect, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. In addition, except as otherwise indicated, the following does not consider the effect of any applicable foreign, state, local or other tax laws, including those applicable to estate or gift tax.
Prospective investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors with regard to the application of the tax considerations discussed below to their particular situations, as well as the application of any state, local, foreign or other tax laws, or subsequent revisions thereof.
253
United States Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders
Payments of Interest on the Second Mortgage Notes
Interest on the second mortgage notes will be taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary income from domestic sources at the time it is paid or accrued in accordance with the U.S. Holder's regular method of accounting for tax purposes. We do not believe that the second mortgage notes have any original issue discount.
Effect of Optional Redemption
In the event of a change of control, the issuers will be required to offer to redeem all of the second mortgage notes at 101% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we have an option under specified circumstances related to the Issuer's gaming license described in "Description of the Second Mortgage NotesGaming Redemption" to redeem the second mortgage notes from certain holders at redemption prices specified elsewhere herein. Under Treasury Regulations, the possibility of the redemption of the second mortgage notes prior to maturity may be disregarded for purposes of determining the amount of interest or original issue discount income (or the timing of their recognition) if as of the date the second mortgage notes are issued, the likelihood of the payment is remote. We intend to take the reporting position, based on all of the facts and circumstances as of the date of issuance, that the likelihood of a change of control or a redemption related to Issuers' gaming license is remote and do not intend to treat such possibilities as affecting the yield to maturity of the second mortgage notes. Our reporting position that there is a remote likelihood of a change of control or a redemption related to Issuers' gaming license is binding on each U.S. Holder unless the holder explicitly discloses in a manner required by applicable Treasury Regulations that its determination is different from ours. Our reporting position is not, however, binding on the Internal Revenue Service, referred to as the IRS, and if the IRS were to successfully challenge this position, a U.S. Holder might be required to accrue income on its notes in excess of stated interest.
We may redeem up to 35% of the second mortgage notes prior to , 2005 and may redeem the second mortgage notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after , 2006, at redemption prices specified elsewhere herein plus accrued and unpaid stated interest. The date of any such redemption is referred to as the optional call date. The Treasury Regulations contain rules for determining the "maturity date" and the stated redemption price at maturity of an instrument that may be redeemed prior to its stated maturity date at the option of the issuer. Under such Treasury Regulations, solely for the purposes of the accrual of original issue discount, it is assumed that an issuer will exercise any option to redeem a debt instrument only if such exercise would lower the yield to maturity of the debt instrument. Because the exercise of such options would not lower the yield to maturity of the second mortgage notes, we believe that we will not be presumed under these rules to redeem the second mortgage notes prior to their stated maturity.
U.S. Holders may wish to consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of such contingencies.
Sale, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition of the Second Mortgage Notes
Upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a second mortgage note, the holder will generally recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the amount of cash and the fair market value of other property received in exchange therefor and (2) the holder's adjusted tax basis in such second mortgage note. Amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest on the second mortgage notes will
254
be treated as ordinary interest income. A holder's adjusted tax basis in a second mortgage note is equal to the purchase price paid by such holder increased by the amount of any market discount previously included in income by such holder with respect to such second mortgage note or decreased by the amount of any amortizable bond premium applied to reduce interest on such second mortgage note and decreased by any payments received thereon.
Except as discussed below with respect to market discount, gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of a second mortgage note will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of sale, exchange, retirement, or other taxable disposition, the second mortgage note has been held for more than 12 months. The maximum rate of tax on long-term capital gains with respect to second mortgage notes held by an individual is 20%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.
Market Discount
A U.S. Holder receives a "market discount" if he/she purchases a second mortgage note for an amount below the issue price (i.e. the price at which a substantial amount of notes were sold to persons other than bond houses, brokers or similar persons, or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriter, placement agent, or wholesaler). Under the market discount rules, subject to a de minimis exception, a U.S. Holder is required to treat any partial principal payment on, or any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of, a second mortgage note as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued market discount that has not previously been included in income. In addition, a U.S. Holder that disposes of a note with market discount in certain otherwise nontaxable transactions must include accrued market discount as ordinary income as if such holder had sold the note at its then fair market value. Further, the U.S. Holder may be required to defer, until the maturity of the second mortgage note or its earlier disposition in a taxable transaction, the deduction of a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry such second mortgage note. Any market discount is considered to accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition to the maturity date of the second mortgage note, unless the U.S. holder elects to accrue such discount on a constant interest rate method.
Alternatively, a taxpayer may elect to include the interest income in income currently either ratably or under the constant interest rate method. If this election is made, the holder's basis in the second mortgage note will be increased to reflect the amount of income recognized and the rules described above regarding deferral of interest deductions will not apply. This election to include market discount in income currently, once made, applies to all market discount obligations acquired on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS.
Amortizable Bond Premium
A U.S. Holder that purchased a second mortgage note for an amount in excess of the stated redemption price at maturity is considered to have purchased such second mortgage note with "amortizable bond premium." A U.S. Holder generally may elect to amortize such premium over the remaining term of the second mortgage note on a constant yield method, as applied to each accrual period of the second mortgage note and allocated ratably to each day within an accrual period. As described under "Effect of Optional Redemption," the notes are subject to various call provisions. As discussed, we intend to take the reporting position that the likelihood of a redemption because of a change of control or gaming license issues is
255
remote and should be disregarded in determining the amount of amortizable bond premium. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder would calculate the amortizable bond premium based on the amount payable on the stated maturity date unless use of an optional call date (and price) results in smaller amortizable bond premium. The amount amortized in any year will be treated as a reduction of the U.S. Holder's interest income from the second mortgage note and a reduction in such U.S. Holder's tax basis in the second mortgage note. The election to amortize premium, once made, applies to all debt obligations held or subsequently acquired by the electing U.S. Holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Backup withholding and information reporting requirements may apply to certain payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on a second mortgage note, and to the proceeds of the sale or redemption of the second mortgage note. We or our paying agent, as the case may be, are required to withhold from any payment that is subject to backup withholding tax if a U.S. Holder fails to furnish his taxpayer identification number, certify that such number is correct, certify that such holder is not subject to backup withholding or otherwise comply with the applicable backup withholding rules. Pursuant to recent tax legislation the rate of backup withholding tax was reduced to 30 percent on January 1, 2002 and will be reduced to 29 percent on January 1, 2004 and 28 percent on January 1, 2006. Unless extended by new legislation, however, the reduction in the rate of backup withholding tax will expire and the 31% backup withholding tax rate will be reinstated beginning January 1, 2011. Certain U.S. Holders, including all corporations, are not subject to backup withholding and information reporting.
United States Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders
Payment of Interest
This discussion assumes, based upon the description of the DTC's book-entry procedures discussed in the section entitled "Description of the Second Mortgage NotesBook-Entry, Delivery and Form" that upon issuance and throughout the term, all the second mortgage notes will be in registered form within the meaning of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations. Pursuant to the "portfolio interest exception," the payment to a Non-U.S. Holder of interest on the second mortgage note is not subject to United States federal withholding tax pursuant to the "portfolio interest exception," provided that (i) the Non-U.S. Holder (A) does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of our capital or profits interest and (B) is neither a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us within the meaning of the Code, nor a bank that received the second mortgage notes on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business; and (ii) either (A) the beneficial owner of the second mortgage notes certifies to us or to our paying agent, under penalties of perjury, that it is not a U.S. Holder and provides its name and address on Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or a suitable substitute form) or (B) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds the second mortgage notes on behalf of such Non-U.S. Holder in the ordinary course of its trade or business (a "financial institution") certifies under penalties of perjury that such a Form W-8BEN (or suitable substitute form) has been received from the beneficial owner by it (or by a financial institution between it and the beneficial owner that has furnished it with a copy thereof).
If a Non-U.S. Holder cannot satisfy the requirements of the portfolio interest exception described above, payments of interest made to such Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a 30%
256
withholding tax, unless the beneficial owner of the second mortgage note provides us or our paying agent, as the case may be, with a properly executed (i) Form W-8BEN (or a suitable substitute form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in the rate of withholding pursuant to a tax treaty or (ii) Form W-8ECI (or a suitable substitute form) providing a United States identification number and stating that interest paid on the second mortgage note is effectively connected with the beneficial owner's conduct of a trade or business in the United States.
If a Non-U.S. Holder of a second mortgage note is engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest on the second mortgage note is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business and, where an income tax treaty applies, attributable to a United States permanent establishment, such Non-U.S. Holder, will be subject to United States federal income tax on such interest. In addition, if such Non-U.S. Holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits for that taxable year, subject to adjustment, unless it qualifies for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty.
Sale, Redemption, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes
A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax on gain realized on a sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a second mortgage note unless (1) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder, and, where an income tax treaty applies, attributable to a United States permanent establishment or (2) in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder who is an individual, such holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met.
If a Non-U.S. Holder of a second mortgage note is engaged in the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, gain on the disposition of the second mortgage note that is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business and, where an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment, will be taxed on a net basis at applicable graduated individual or corporate rates. Effectively connected gain of a foreign corporation may, under certain circumstances, be subject as well to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30 percent or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate.
Federal Estate Tax
Second mortgage notes held by an individual Non-U.S. Holder will not be included in such holder's gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes if (a) the interest on the second mortgage notes qualifies for the "portfolio interest exemption" from United States federal income tax under the rules described above in "United States Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. HoldersPayment of Interest," or (b) they are excluded under an applicable treaty. The United States federal estate tax generally has been repealed for decedents dying in 2010. Unless extended by new legislation, however, the repeal expires and the United States federal estate tax is reinstated beginning January 1, 2011.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
We must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder on Form 1042-S the amount of interest paid on a second mortgage note, regardless of whether withholding was required, and any tax withheld with respect to the interest. Under the provisions of an income tax treaty and other applicable agreements, copies of these information returns may be made available to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides.
257
Backup withholding is unlikely to apply to payments of principal or interest made by us or our paying agents to a Non-U.S. Holder if the holder is exempt from United States withholding tax on interest as described above in "United States Federal Income Tax ConsiderationsUnited States Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. HoldersPayments of Interest."
The payment of proceeds from the disposition of a second mortgage note effected by or through a United States office of a broker is also subject to both backup withholding and information reporting unless a Non-U.S. Holder provides the payor with such Non-U.S. Holder's name and address and either certifies non-United States status or otherwise establishes an exemption. In general, backup withholding and information reporting will not apply to the payment of the proceeds of a sale of a second mortgage note by or through a foreign office of a broker. If, however, such broker is, for United States federal income tax purposes, a United States person, a controlled foreign corporation, a foreign person 50 percent or more of whose gross income is from a United States trade or business for a specified three-year period, or a foreign partnership that at any time during its tax year either is engaged in the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or has as partners one or more United States persons that, in the aggregate, hold more than 50 percent of the income or capital interest in the partnership, such payments will be subject to information reporting, but not backup withholding, unless such broker has documentary evidence in its records that the holder is a Non-U.S. Holder and certain other conditions are met, or the exemption is otherwise established.
Pursuant to recent tax legislation the rate of backup withholding tax was reduced to 30 percent on January 1, 2002 and will be reduced to 29 percent on January 1, 2004 and 28 percent on January 1, 2006. Unless extended by new legislation, however, the reduction in the rate of backup withholding tax will expire and the 31 percent backup withholding tax rate will be reinstated beginning January 1, 2011. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against the Non-U.S. Holder's United States federal income tax liability provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.
Investors are urged to consult their tax advisors in determining the tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the second mortgage notes, including the application to their particular situations of the United States federal income tax considerations discussed in this prospectus and the application of state, local, foreign or other tax laws.

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to purchase the second mortgage notes offered hereby are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the underwriters will purchase all of the second mortgage notes offered by this prospectus if any of these second mortgage notes are purchased.
We have been advised by the representatives of the underwriters that the underwriters propose to offer the second mortgage notes to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus and to dealers at a price that represents a concession not in excess of % of the principal amount of the second mortgage notes. The underwriters may allow, and these dealers may re-allow, a concession of not more than % of the principal amount of the second mortgage notes to other dealers. After the initial public offering, representatives of the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms.
In addition, we estimate that our share of the total expenses of this offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $ .
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against some specified types of liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of any of these liabilities.
The representatives of the underwriters have advised us that the underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any account over which they exercise discretionary authority. The second mortgage notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. The second mortgage notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system. The underwriters may make a market in the second mortgage notes after completion of the offering, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the second mortgage notes or that an active public market for the second mortgage notes will develop. If an active public trading market for the second
259
mortgage notes does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the second mortgage notes may be adversely affected.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell the second mortgage notes in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions.
Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater principal amount of second mortgage notes than they are required to purchase in the offering. The underwriters may close out any short position by purchasing second mortgage notes in the open market. A short position is more likely to be created if underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the second mortgage notes in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.
Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of the second mortgage notes made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.
The underwriters may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the other underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives of the underwriters have repurchased notes sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.
Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions may have the effect of preventing or slowing a decline in the market price of the second mortgage notes. Additionally, these purchases, along with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the second mortgage notes. As a result, the price of the notes may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on Internet web sites maintained by one or more of the lead underwriters of this offering and may be made available on web sites maintained by other underwriters. The representatives may agree to allocate a number of second mortgage notes to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders. The representatives may allocate the second mortgage notes to underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. In addition, the second mortgage notes may be sold by the underwriters to securities dealers who may resell the second mortgage notes to online brokerage account holders. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on any underwriter's web site and any information contained in any other web site maintained by an underwriter is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which the related prospectus forms a part.

It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on the date specified on the cover page of this prospectus, which will be the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding four business days will be required by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in five business days to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement. Purchasers of the notes who wish to trade the notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding four business days should consult their own advisor.
Foreign Jurisdictions
The information contained in this prospectus does not constitute an offer or an invitation to make an offer for the acquisition of notes by Austrian investors nor are such notes available to Austrian investors with the following exemption. The notes are exclusively offered to a limited number of institutional investors and are therefore not subject to the public offering requirements of the Austrian Capital Markets Act (Section 3, paragraph 1, subparagraph 11).

261
include the acquisition of the respective notes for the purpose of their business and who are interested in the notes not with the purpose of offering such notes to third parties in Austria. Such notes are not offered and will not be made available to any other persons in Austria.

It is made available only to qualified investors and/or to a limited circle of investors (as defined in Article L.411-2 of the French Code Monétaire et Financier and in the Decree No. 98-880 dated 1 October 1998), on the condition that it shall not be passed on to any person nor reproduced (in whole or in part) and that applicants act for their own account in accordance with the terms set out by the said Decree and undertake not to retransfer, directly or indirectly, the notes in France, other than in compliance with applicable laws and regulations (Articles L.411-1, L.411-2, L.412-1 and L.621-8 of the French Code Monétaire et Financier).
The public offer of securities for sale in Germany is subject to certain restrictions, namely the restrictions provided in the German Securities Selling Prospectus Act (Wertpapier-Verkaufsprospektgesetz).

The underwriters, any other purchaser of the notes and the persons into whose possession this prospectus comes acknowledge these restrictions.
No public offering of the notes is permitted in the Hellenic Republic without the issuance and publication of a prospectus approved by the Capital Market Committee and the Athens Stock Exchange and consequently no advertisement of any kind, notifications, statements or other actions are permitted to be taken in the Hellenic Republic with a view to attracting the public in Greece to acquire any of the notes. All provisions of codified law 2190/1920, law 876/1979 and presidential decree 52/1992 must be complied with in respect of anything done in relation to the public offering of the notes in, from or otherwise involving the Hellenic Republic. In accordance with Article 4 of presidential decree 52/1992, the above approval procedure is not required if the notes are to be offered in the Hellenic Republic only to a restricted number of investors and/or persons engaged professionally in the investment business (such as insurance companies, credit institutions, social security funds and other persons who qualify as institutional investors within the meaning of Resolution No. 9/201/10.10.2000 of the Capital Markets Commission).

The financial statements of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Valvino Lamore, LLC and a development stage company) as of December 31, 2001 and for the period from inception (April 17, 2001) to December 31, 2001, included in this prospectus have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report (which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes an explanatory paragraph referring to the restatement of the financial statements at Note 6) appearing herein, and have been so included in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority of experts in accounting and auditing.
In May, 2002, Valvino decided to no longer engage Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as its independent public accountants. The reports of Andersen on the financial statements of Valvino for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Through the present date, there has been no disagreement between Valvino and Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Andersen, would have caused Andersen to make reference to the subject matter thereof in its report on Valvino's financial statements for such periods. Through the present date, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
Valvino named Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche") as its new independent auditors in May, 2002. Prior to their appointment as independent auditors, neither Valvino nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Deloitte & Touche regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Valvino's financial statements.

To the Members of Valvino Lamore, LLC and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Valvino Lamore, LLC and subsidiaries (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001 and for the period from inception (April 21, 2000) to December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001 and for the period from inception to December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 12, the accompanying financial statements have been restated.

VALVINO LAMORE, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Valvino Lamore, LLC was formed on April 21, 2000 as a Nevada limited-liability company. At formation, the Company's sole member was Stephen A. Wynn. As of December 31, 2001, subsidiaries of Valvino Lamore, LLC include Wynn Design and Development, LLC, Rambas Marketing Company, LLC, Palo, LLC, Toasty, LLC, Wynn Resorts Holdings, LLC, WorldWide Wynn, LLC, Kevyn, LLC and Desert Inn Water Company, LLC and are collectively, with Valvino Lamore, LLC, herein referred to as the "Company."
Pursuant to an Asset and Land Purchase Agreement dated as of April 28, 2000, by and among Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Sheraton Gaming Corporation, Sheraton Desert Inn Corporation, Valvino Lamore, LLC and Stephen A. Wynn, the Company acquired the assets and liabilities of the Desert Inn Resort and Casino for approximately $270 million plus an adjustment for working capital, as defined. Upon receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, the purchase was completed on June 22, 2000. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Later in 2000, Valvino acquired all of the remaining lots located in the interior of, and some of the lots around, the former Desert Inn Resort and Casino golf course for a total of $47.8 million.
On August 28, 2000, the Company permanently closed the Desert Inn Resort and Casino with the exception of the golf course and its related retail, food and beverage operations. Operations of the Company have been primarily limited to the design, development and financing of a new casino/hotel project named "Le Rêve". As of the date of this report, neither the timing nor the full scope of the "Le Rêve" project has been finalized. Management anticipates Le Rêve will cost approximately $2.4 billion to design and construct, including the cost of the land, capitalized interest, pre-opening expenses and financing fees.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (the "Agreement") dated October 3, 2000, the Company admitted a new member, Aruze USA, Inc., in exchange for a capital contribution of $260 million. As part of this capital acquisition, the Company paid a fee of $10 million to a third party. The Company amended the Agreement on April 16, 2001 when a third member, Baron Asset Fund, was admitted in exchange for a capital contribution of $20.8 million. As part of this capital acquisition, the Company paid a fee of $800,000 to a third party.
On April 1, 2001, the Company acquired Kevyn, LLC, a previously unconsolidated affiliate, which was wholly owned by Mr. Wynn and whose principal asset consisted of an airplane, for approximately $10 million. The acquisition was treated as a reorganization of entities under common control. Accordingly, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations", the assets and liabilities acquired have been recorded at the carrying value at the time of the acquisition and the operating results of Kevyn, LLC are included in the operating statements of the Company from the earliest period presented. As a result, the previously separate historical
F-8
financial position and results of operations of Kevyn, LLC are combined with the financial position and results of operations of the Company for all periods presented.
Additionally, effective June 28, 2001, the Nevada Public Utility Commission approved the transfer of ownership of Desert Inn Water Company, also a previously unconsolidated affiliate and wholly owned company of Mr. Wynn, to the Company. As the Desert Inn Water Company primarily consisted of water rights, this transaction was treated as an acquisition of assets for financial reporting purposes. The Company exchanged the receivable from the Desert Inn Water Company in this acquisition, which was equivalent to the fair market value of the water rights of $6.4 million.
As a development stage company, the Company has risks that may impact its ability to become an operating enterprise or to remain in existence. The Company is currently in the process of planning, developing and obtaining additional financing for the "Le Rêve" project.
The Company is subject to many rules and regulations in both the construction and development phases and in operating gaming facilities, including, but not limited, to receiving the appropriate permits for particular construction activities and securing a Nevada state gaming license for the ownership and operation of the "Le Rêve" project. The completion of the "Le Rêve" project is dependent upon compliance with these rules and regulations.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Restricted cash consists of certificates of deposits to collateralize certain construction insurance claims as well as required sales tax deposits.
Retail, food and beverage inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out and specific identification methods.
The allocation of the purchase price of the Desert Inn Resort and Casino to these asset categories was based upon an appraisal and management's estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired. Subsequent purchases of property and equipment are stated
F-9
at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes as follows:
Buildings and improvements | 1 to 3 years | |
Parking garage | 15 years | |
Airplane | 7 years | |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 3 to 5 years |
The design and development costs for the new casino/hotel project are capitalized. Costs of building repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in operating income or loss.
Loan origination fees, included in other assets, are capitalized and amortized over the life of the loan as interest expense using the effective interest rate method. Approximately $1.5 million was amortized during the period from April 21, 2000 through December 31, 2000. No amounts were amortized during the year ending December 31, 2001.
Interest costs, including amortized loan origination fees, are capitalized and included in the cost of the new casino/hotel project based upon amounts expended on the project using the weighted-average cost of the Company's outstanding borrowings. Capitalization of interest will cease when the project is substantially complete. There was no capitalized interest for the year ended December 31, 2001. Capitalized interest for the periods from inception to December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2002 was $6.3 million.
As a limited-liability company, Valvino Lamore, LLC is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision is made in the accounts of the Company for federal income taxes, as such taxes are liabilities of the Members.
Upon completion of the exchange of ownership interests between the Company and Wynn Resorts, Limited (see Note 1.k.), a provision for income taxes will be made in the accounts of Wynn Resorts, Limited, which will be organized as a "C Corporation" for federal income tax purposes and thus taxed at the entity level. At the date of the exchange, Wynn Resorts, Limited will be required to record taxes with respect to the difference in the tax and book basis of its assets and liabilities. Currently, management expects that a net deferred tax asset of approximately $9.1 million would be reflected in the financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
As of December 31, 2001, there were approximately 207,692 common shares of Valvino outstanding. The most recent sale of shares prior to December 31, 2001 occurred at a price of approximately $2,704 per share. Consistent with the management structure
F-10
permitted under applicable Nevada law, the Agreement provides that each share is entitled to one vote on all matters requiring the vote of the members. The Agreement also includes several additional management provisions. First, Mr. Wynn, as the managing member, has authority to make decisions regarding the day-to-day activities of Valvino. Second, certain fundamental decisions must be approved by the four-member Board of Representatives. Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA each appoint two representatives to the Board of Representatives. Mr. Wynn acts as Chairman of the Board of Representatives and has certain rights in that capacity, including the right to make the tie-breaking vote with respect to board action. Allocations of Valvino's profits and losses are made based on the common shares of each member, subject to applicable tax law requirements. Non-liquidating distributions are made first based on the initial positive capital account of each member (as determined under federal tax law book accounting) and then based on each member's percentage interest in Valvino's profits and losses. Liquidating distributions are made based solely on each member's positive capital account.
Wynn Resorts, Limited, a Nevada corporation, was recently organized to offer shares of its common stock for sale to the public in an initial public offering (IPO). At June 30, 2002, Wynn Resorts, Limited has one share of common stock outstanding, which is held by Mr. Wynn and all of the assets and operations of Wynn Resorts, Limited are held by and conducted through the Company. Prior to the closing of the IPO, all of the members of the Company will contribute their membership interests in the Company to Wynn Resorts, Limited in exchange for shares of the common stock of Wynn Resorts, Limited. Upon the contribution, approximately 189.72 shares of Wynn Resorts, Limited common stock, rounded to the nearest share, will be issued in exchange for each common share of Valvino Lamore, LLC. Upon consummation of the contribution, Wynn Resorts, Limited will issue each current member of the Company that percentage of the shares of Wynn Resorts, Limited common stock to be issued that corresponds to the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company held by the members at that time. Because Mr. Wynn currently owns one share of Wynn Resorts, Limited common stock, as consideration for his contribution of its interest in the Company, he will be entitled to one fewer share of Wynn Resorts, Limited common stock. As a result of this exchange, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, Limited.
The contribution will be a tax-free contribution under the Internal Revenue Code and for financial statement accounting purposes, the transaction is considered to be a recapitalization. Because the ownership interests in Wynn Resorts, Limited after the exchange will be identical to the current ownership interests in the Company, the transaction is considered to be non-substantive. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Technical Bulletin 85-5, Issues Relating to Accounting for Business Combinations, Wynn Resorts, Limited will recognize the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying value in the books and records of Valvino Lamore, LLC at the time of exchange. The financial statements of Wynn Resorts, Limited will report the results of operations for the period in which the transfer occurs as if the exchange of equity interests had occurred at the beginning of the period. Subsequent to the contribution, management does not expect the consolidated financial statements of Wynn Resorts, Limited to differ from the consolidated financial statements of Valvino Lamore, LLC and subsidiaries included herein.
F-11
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Long-lived assets, which are not to be disposed of, including property and equipment, are periodically reviewed by management for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2001, management does not believe any assets have been impaired.
The Company, as part of the overall purchase price of the Desert Inn Resort and Casino acquired water rights with an appraised value of $6.4 million. The water rights have been recorded as an asset at this appraised value and have an indefinite useful life.
The financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. The consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2002, include the accounts of the Company's majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions between such entities and Valvino Lamore LLC have been eliminated in consolidation.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 prohibits the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142, which is effective for the Company January 1, 2002, requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing intangibles, and ongoing assessments of potential impairment of existing goodwill. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had no goodwill but did have intangible assets consisting of a trademark and water rights with indefinite useful lives. Accordingly, the adoption of this statement on January 1, 2002 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to legal obligations associated with the
F-12
retirement for certain obligations of lessees. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 143 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The provisions of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 with no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." Among other things, this statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt" which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," will now be used to classify those gains and losses. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this statement will have an impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No.146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. A fundamental conclusion reached by the FASB in this statement is that an entity's commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others that meets the definition of a liability. Management does not anticipate that adoption of this statement will have an impact on the historical financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred.
The acquisition of the Desert Inn Resort & Casino has been accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Estimated fair values were determined based on independent appraisals, discounted cash flows, market
F-13
prices for comparable assets and estimates made by management. The allocation of the purchase price was completed within one year from the acquisition date and is as follows:
Description of Assets |
Allocated Fair Value ($ in Millions) |
|||
---|---|---|---|---|
Land | $ | 248 | ||
Buildings & Improvements | 16 | |||
Personal Property | 5 | |||
Receivables | 2 | |||
Reserve for Bad Debt | (1 | ) | ||
Total Purchase Price | $ | 270 | ||
Upon completion of the acquisition of the Desert Inn Resort and Casino on June 22, 2000, the Company announced its intention to close the property and to plan the development of a new casino/hotel project named "Le Rêve" on the existing site. In accordance with SFAS No. 67, "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects," both the casino/hotel operation and the golf course and related operations are being accounted for as separate incidental operations. Under this method, incidental operations with a net income are excluded from the Company's consolidated operating results and the net income from each is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of land. Incidental operations with a net loss are stated separately on the consolidated statements of operations. The amount of net income from incidental operations recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of land was approximately $3,611,000 and $1,198,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the period April 21, 2000 through December 31, 2000, respectively. Incidental operations resulting in a net loss are reported in the Statement of Operations.

On June 15, 2000, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Stephen A. Wynn, for unsecured borrowings totaling $100 million with an original maturity date of June 15, 2002. The interest rate during the loan period was 7.9%, as defined in the loan agreement. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement dated October 3, 2000, $70 million of this loan was repaid on October 10, 2000. The remaining $30 million principal and $2.3 million accrued interest was converted to equity as a member contribution.
On July 10, 2000, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as lead arranger, and Bankers Trust Company, as administrative agent, for a loan in the amount of $125 million with an original maturity date of July 10, 2001. These borrowings were used to make an equity distribution of approximately $110.5 million to Stephen A. Wynn. The interest during the loan period was 7.9%, as defined in the loan agreement. The loan was collateralized by certain real and personal property of the Company and by a guaranty from Stephen A. Wynn. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement dated October 3, 2000, this loan was repaid on October 10, 2000.
The balance of long-term debt at December 31, 2001 totals approximately $291,000 net of the current portion of approximately $35,000. This represents a note payable related to the acquisition of a parcel of land in 1994. Both the land and related note payable were acquired as part of the acquisition of the Desert Inn Resort and Casino. The note carries an interest rate of 8% and provides for payments of principal and interest totaling $5,000 per month until February 2009.
The Company established a retirement savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering its non-union employees on July 27, 2000. The plan allows employees to defer, within prescribed limits, up to 18% of their income on a pre-tax basis through
F-15
contributions to this plan. The Company matches the contributions, within prescribed limits, with an amount equal to 100% of the participant's initial 2% tax deferred contribution and 50% of the tax deferred contribution between 2% and 4% of the participant's compensation. The Company recorded charges for matching contributions of approximately $127,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $67,000 for the period from inception through December 31, 2000.
Union employees are covered by various multi-employer pension plans. The Company recorded expenses of approximately $425,000 and $376,000 under such plans for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the period from inception through December 31, 2000, respectively. Information from the plans' sponsors is not available to permit the Company to determine its share of unfunded vested benefits, if any.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, amounts due from related parties were comprised of $332,000 and $6,552,000 due from Desert Inn Water Company, LLC and other related parties.
No significant third party operating leases exist as of December 31, 2001 or 2000. As discussed in Note 7, the Company leases an airplane to Las Vegas CharterJet, LLC on a per flight hour basis. The lease term runs through July 2005 or other such date as the parties may mutually agree.
The Company currently leases The Wynn Collection from Mr. & Mrs. Wynn at a monthly rate equal to the gross revenue received by the gallery each month, less direct expenses, subject to a monthly cap. No lease payments were required.
The Company intends to adopt incentive stock plans for non-employee directors and certain of its key executives.
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to disputes with third parties, which have led to litigation. Management believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
The Company has entered into a long-term agreement with a creative production company for the creation, development and executive production of new theatrical entertainment attractions for the new casino/hotel project. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, other assets include $1.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of amounts paid in conjunction with this agreement. An additional $2 million, payable in two equal installments, will be payable upon the approval of the show concepts.
F-16
The Company has entered into certain contracts related to the construction of "Le Rêve". As of December 31, 2001, the Company is committed to approximately $6.2 million under these contracts.
The Company is self-insured for medical and worker's compensation claims. The Individual Stop Loss Attachment Point for each claim is $40,000 for medical and $250,000 for worker's compensation claims with a maximum payout of $960,000 and $1,000,000, respectively.
Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". SFAS No. 128 provides for the reporting of "basic", or undiluted earnings per share ("EPS"), and "diluted" EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the addition of potentially dilutive securities. At December 31, 2001 and 2000 and June 30, 2002, the Company has no potentially dilutive securities and has recorded net losses and accordingly, basic EPS is equal to diluted EPS.
Upon completion of various legal agreements and transactions in April 2002, Mr. Wynn contributed approximately $32 million of cash to the Company. This included the assignment to the Company by Mr. Wynn of his rights to approximately $22.5 million deposited in a Macau bank account which was committed to the Macau project, and an additional $8.6 million of cash. In addition, Mr. Wynn also contributed his 90% ownership interest in Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. and the right to be reimbursed for approximately $825,000 of expenses incurred by Mr. Wynn on behalf of Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. to the Company. At the time of the capital contribution, the assets held by Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. principally consisted of the intangible asset associated with the provisional license to negotiate a concession with the government of the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. The provisional license had no historical cost basis but had a negotiated fair value of $56 million. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," because the transactions occurred between entities under common control, the contribution of the 90% interest in Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. by Mr. Wynn was recorded at its historical cost basis with the primary asset recorded in the financial statements being the approximate $22.5 million of cash. However, Mr. Wynn's ownership interest in the Company after these contributions does reflect the fair value of his 90% ownership interest in Wynn resorts (Macau) S.A. relative to the fair value of the contributions from Aruze USA, Inc. and Baron Asset Fund as described below.
Concurrent with Mr. Wynn's contributions above, Aruze USA, Inc., contributed an additional $120 million in cash and Baron Asset Fund contributed an additional $20.3 million in cash.
F-17
While neither Mr. Wynn nor Aruze USA received additional shares in connection with the above described capital contributions, immediately following these additional capital contributions, Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA, Inc. each owned 47.5% of the membership interests in the Company, and Baron Asset Fund owned 5% of the membership interests in the Company.
In June 2002, The Kenneth R. Wynn Family Trust contributed $1.2 million in cash in exchange for a 0.146% of the outstanding membership interest in the Company (approximately 307 shares at $3,904 per share). Accordingly, at June 30, 2002 there were approximately 210,834 shares outstanding.
In April 2002, the Company converted approximately $458,000 of advances to Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. to capital contributions.
On March 26, 2002, the Company sold the aircraft (See Note 1) for approximately $8 million resulting in a loss of approximately $69,000.
In May 2002, the Company acquired World Travel, LLC and Las Vegas Jet, LLC, entities previously wholly owned by Mr. Wynn immediately prior to their acquisition by Valvino Lamore, LLC. The acquisitions have been accounted for as reorganizations of entities under common control. Accordingly, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", the assets and liabilities of the entities acquired have been recorded at the carrying value at the time of the acquisition and the operating results of the entities are included in the operating statements of the Company from the earliest period presented. As a result, the previously separate historical financial position and results of operations of World Travel, LLC and Las Vegas Jet, LLC are combined with the financial position and results of operations of the Company for all periods presented.
Wynn Las Vegas LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into an agreement with a construction contractor for guaranteed maximum price construction services, effective as of June 4, 2002 (the "Construction Agreement") and was amended by Change Order No. 1, effective as of August 12, 2002. As amended, the Construction Agreement covers approximately $919 million of the approximate $1,407 million budgeted cost to construct Le Rêve, subject to increases based on, among other items, changes in the scope of the work. The Construction Agreement provides that the guaranteed maximum price will be increased and the deadline for the completion of construction extended on account of certain circumstances. The guaranteed maximum price also provides for an "owner contingency" of approximately $7.6 million to cover various items including delays and scope changes as a result of the owner's, Wynn Las Vegas LLC's, actions.
Wynn Las Vegas LLC has entered into an agreement with a construction contractor for the design and construction of a parking structure for a maximum cost of $9.85 million, subject to specified exceptions, effective as of June 6, 2002.
F-18
The Company, Wynn Las Vegas LLC and Wynn Resorts Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, have entered into a commitment letter with several lenders for a $750 million revolving credit facility and a $250 million delay draw term loan facility (collectively referred to as the "Credit Facilities"). Management expects to use the proceeds from the Credit Facilities to finance development and construction of Le Rêve, to pay pre-opening expenses and meet debt service obligations. Following completion of Le Rêve, proceeds will be used for operating expenses and general corporate purposes.
Management expects the revolving credit facility to mature six years from the closing date. When borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility equal or exceed $200 million, lead arrangers holding a majority of the commitments of the lead arrangers will have the right to convert $100 million to $400 million of the amounts outstanding to term loans with the same terms and conditions as those made under the delay draw term loan facility.
Management expects the terms of the delay draw term loan to provide for draws of funds under one or more term loans no more frequently than once per month for 27 months after the closing. Once repaid, term loans may not be reborrowed.
Before Le Rêve opens, the Credit Facilities are expected to bear interest at either the prime rate or reserve Eurodollar Rate, as elected by Wynn Las Vegas LLC, plus, in either case, 4.00% per annum. After the opening of Le Rêve, the Credit Facilities interest rate will be reduced to the prime rate or reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus, in either case, a margin based on a leverage ratio.
Wynn Las Vegas LLC's placement agent has received commitments from certain lenders for a $188.5 million facility to finance furniture, fixtures and equipment (the "FF&E Facility"). The FF&E Facility will provide financing or refinancing of up to 75% of the fair market value, including installation costs, of furniture, fixtures and equipment to be used at Le Rêve. Borrowings under the FF&E Facility will bear interest at the same annual rates for base rate or LIBOR elections as borrowings under the Credit Facilities. A commitment fee of 2.50% per annum of the unused portion of the FF&E Facility will accrue from the closing date, increasing to 3.00% on January 1, 2003 and to 4.00% on July 1, 2003. Management expects the FF&E Facility to mature seven years after its closing date. Wynn Las Vegas may also use proceeds from the FF&E facility to refinance a replacement corporate aircraft, in which case Wynn Las Vegas would request the FF&E lenders to increase the total commitment under the FF&E facility by $10 million to $198.5 million.
In June 2002, Wynn Resorts (Macau), S.A., entered into a concession agreement with the government of the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, permitting Wynn Resorts (Macau), S.A. to construct and operate one or more casinos in Macau. Under the concession agreement, Wynn Resorts (Macau), S.A. is obligated to invest at lease 4 billion Macau patacas (approximately US $500 million at July 31, 2002) in building its Macau casino(s) by June 26, 2009.
In compliance with the concession agreement, Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. has obtained an uncollateralized bank guarantee from Banco National Ultramarino, S.A. in the required amount of 700 million patacas (currently approximately US $87.5 million) for the period from the execution of the concession agreement until March 31, 2007. The amount of this required guarantee will be reduced to 300 million patacas (currently approximately
F-19
US $37.5 million) for the period from April 1, 2007 until 180 days after the end of the term of the concession agreement. Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A. pays a commission to the bank in the amount of 0.50% per year of the guarantee amount. The purpose of this bank guarantee is to guarantee Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A.'s performance of the concession agreement, including the payment of premiums, fines and any indemnity for failure to perform the concession agreement.
In connection with the May 2002 acquisition of World Travel, the Company assumed a loan for $28.5 million, secured by a Bombardier Global Express Aircraft and guaranteed by the Company. The loan provides for 47 monthly principal payments of approximately $158,000, commencing March 1, 2003 and the payment of approximately $21.1 million remaining principal on March 1, 2007. The loan bears interest at the prime rate plus .25% per annum unless an optional rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.50% is elected, subject to certain requirements. Interest is payable monthly commencing June 1, 2002.
On September 24, 2002, all of the members of the Company contributed 100% of the membership interests in the Company (210,834 shares) to Wynn Resorts, Limited in exchange for 40,000,000 shares of the common stock of Wynn Resorts, Limited and the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Wynn Resorts, Limited.
As discussed in item d above on September 24, 2002 the members of the Company contributed their interest in the Company to Wynn Resorts, Limited in exchange for common stock of Wynn Resorts, Limited. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet includes pro forma unaudited information to reflect the revised equity of Wynn Resorts had the exchange occurred as of June 30, 2002. In addition the accompanying consolidated statements of operations include pro forma weighted average shares outstanding and loss per share information for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001 as if the exchange had occurred as of January 1, 2001.
Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp., wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, intend to jointly issue $340 million of second mortgage notes. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries anticipate providing guarantees in connection with the issuance of such notes. Wynn Resorts, Limited will not guarantee the second mortgage notes unless Wynn Resorts, Limited either incurs or guarantees certain indebtedness in excess of $10.0 million in the aggregate or quarantees certain indebtedness. Although the guarantors will provide guarantees for the second mortgage notes and they have assets that are integral to Le Rêve, they are not expected to have operations that generate significant cash flows. In addition, subsequent to the contribution of the Company's membership interests to Wynn Resorts, Limited, the Company intends to transfer certain of its assets to Wynn Resorts, Limited. The assets to be distributed are expected to include the Company's equity interests in the non-guarantor entities (Wynn Group Asia, Inc., Kevyn LLC, Rambas Marketing Co. LLC, Toasty, LLC and World Wide Wynn, LLC), inventories and affiliate receivables due from the non-guarantor entities. After such distributions, Valvino and its subsidiaries will continue to conduct substantially all of the development stage operations (including the art gallery and
F-20
golf course) reflected in its historical financial statements as well as activities associated with the design and construction of Le Rêve.
The following consolidating financial statements present information related to the issuers, guarantors and non-guarantors as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and 2000 and for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the year ended December 31, 2001 and the periods from inception to December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2002. However, because of the expected transfer of certain assets and interests to Wynn Resorts, Limited, the following consolidating financial statements are not indicative of the financial position of the guarantors after the expected transfer.
Wynn Las Vegas, LLC was formed in April 2001 and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. was formed in June 2002. Accordingly, there is no financial information for Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. for the periods presented prior to June 30, 2002 and no financial information for Wynn Las Vegas, LLC for the period from inception to December 31, 2000. Guarantors of the notes anticipated to be issued are the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Wynn Design and Development, LLC, Wynn Resorts Holdings, LLC, Palo, LLC, Desert Inn Water Company, LLC, World Travel, LLC and Las Vegas Jet, LLC.
The following consolidating financial statements are presented in the provided form because: (i) the issuers and guarantors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company; (ii) the guarantees are considered to be full and unconditional, that is, if the issuers fail to make a scheduled payment, the guarantors are obligated to make the scheduled payment immediately and, if they don't, any holder of the second mortgage notes may immediately bring suit directly against the guarantors for payment of all amounts due and payable; and (iii) the guarantees are joint and several.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements as of June 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company's management determined that the acquisitions of Kevyn, LLC, World Travel, LLC and Las Vegas Jet, LLC had been accounted for based on the incorrect application of an accounting principle.

To the Members of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Valvino Lamore, LLC and a development stage company) as of December 31, 2001, and the related statements of operations, member's deficiency, and cash flows for the period from inception (April 17, 2001) to December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from inception to December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

WYNN LAS VEGAS, LLC
(A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF VALVINO LAMORE, LLC
AND A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Hotel A, LLC was formed on April 17, 2001 as a Nevada limited-liability company. On May 15, 2002, Hotel A, LLC changed its name to Wynn Las Vegas, LLC. Hotel A, LLC is hereafter referred to as Wynn Las Vegas, LLC or the Company. The sole member of the Company is Wynn Resorts, LLC. The sole member of Wynn Resorts, LLC is Valvino Lamore, LLC (Valvino).
Wynn Las Vegas, LLC was primarily organized to construct and operate "Le Rêve", a preeminent luxury hotel and destination casino resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. As of the date of this report, neither the timing nor the full scope of the "Le Rêve" project has been finalized. Management anticipates Le Rêve will cost approximately $2.4 billion to design and construct, including the cost of the land, capitalized interest, pre-opening expenses and financing fees.
Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp. (Wynn Capital) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated on June 3, 2002, primarily for the purpose of obtaining financing for Le Rêve. Wynn Capital is authorized to issue 2,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01. At June 30, 2002, the Company holds all of the authorized shares. The financial position and results of operations of Wynn Capital are included in the financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2002 and for the periods then ended.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC. However, the financial information included herein may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations had the Company been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented (Note 3).
As a development stage company, the Company has risks that may impact its ability to become an operating enterprise or to remain in existence. The Company has no operating history and is currently in the process of planning, developing and obtaining additional financing for the Le Rêve project.
The Company is subject to many rules, regulations and uncertainties in both the construction and development phases of the project, including, but not limited to, receiving the appropriate permits for particular construction activities and securing necessary financing for the project. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to secure the necessary financing or that the financial resources available will be sufficient to fund the project (see further discussion at Note 4, Commitments and Contingencies).
Prior to June 2002, the financial statements include the accounts of the Company. As of June 30, 2002 and for the periods then ended, the financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wynn Capital. Significant intercompany balances and transactions, if any, are eliminated.
F-41
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Restricted cash consists of certificates of deposits to collateralize certain construction insurance claims as well as required sales tax deposits.
At December 31, 2001, property of the Company consisted of approximately $2 thousand of computer equipment with an estimated useful life of three years. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of assets using the straight-line method.
In May of 2002, Valvino transferred approximately $161 million of land it acquired in connection with its acquisition of the Desert Inn Resort and Casino, and approximately $11 million of construction in progress to the Company (see further discussion at Note 2, Property and Equipment).
The Company has recorded an asset representing the cost, $1 million, of the common-law name and mark "LE REVE". The trademark has an indefinite useful life and therefore is not amortized. Similar to other long-lived assets, the trademark is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
As a limited-liability company, Wynn Las Vegas, LLC is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision is made in the accounts of the Company for federal income taxes, as such taxes are liabilities of the Members.
The Company was initially capitalized with a $100 contribution from Valvino, the sole member of the Company. Such contribution was made in exchange for a 100 percent ownership interest in the capital and profits of the Company. No additional capital contributions are required to be made. Cash or other assets may be distributed to Valvino as determined by Valvino provided that the distribution was not in violation of any applicable law or would cause a breach or default under agreements to which the Company is a party.
F-42
Pre-opening costs primarily consists of salaries and other payroll related expenses. Pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management periodically reviews long-lived assets, which are not to be disposed of, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2001, management does not believe any assets have been impaired.
The financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited but in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 prohibits the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142, which is effective for the Company January 1, 2002, requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing intangibles, and ongoing assessments of potential impairment of existing goodwill. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had no goodwill but did have an intangible asset consisting of a trademark with an indefinite useful life. Accordingly, the adoption of this statement on January 1, 2002 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement for certain obligations of lessees. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 143
F-43
will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The provisions of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 with no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." Among other things, this statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt" which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of OperationsReporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," will now be used to classify those gains and losses. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this statement will have an impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No.146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. A fundamental conclusion reached by the FASB in this statement is that an entity's commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a present obligation to others that meets the definition of a liability. Management does not anticipate that adoption of this statement will have an impact on the historical financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Property and equipment as of December 31, 2001 consisted of the following:

In May of 2002, Valvino transferred land acquired in connection with its acquisition of the Desert Inn Resort and Casino to the Company. The land was transferred at its carrying value of approximately $161 million. In addition, approximately $11 million of construction in
F-44
progress was transferred. In consideration for the land, the Company recorded a payable to Valvino for an equal amount.
At December 31, 2001 amounts due to related parties were comprised primarily of amounts due to Valvino. For the period from inception through June 30, 2002, the Company's statements of operations include allocations from Valvino for legal, accounting, human resource, information services, real estate, or other corporate support services provided by Valvino. The corporate support service allocations have been determined on a basis that Valvino and the Company consider to be reasonable estimates of the utilization of service provided or the benefit received by the Company. The allocation methods include specific identification, relative cost, square footage and headcount. Allocated costs are reflected in pre-opening costs for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and for the periods from inception to December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002 and were approximately $140,000, $65,000, $196,000 and $336,000, respectively. Given the development stage nature of the Company's operations for the periods presented, management does not believe it is practicable to estimate the cost that would have been incurred if the Company had operated as a stand-alone entity.
In the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to disputes with third parties, which could lead to litigation. Presently, the Company is not involved in any such matters.
The Company has entered into certain contracts related to the construction of "Le Rêve". Effective as of June 4, 2002, and amended by Change Order No. 1, effective as of August 12, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a construction contractor for guaranteed maximum price construction services (as amended, the Construction Agreement). The Construction Agreement covers approximately $919 million of the approximate $1,407 million budgeted cost to construct Le Rêve, subject to increases based on, among other items, changes in the scope of the work. The Construction Agreement provides that the guaranteed maximum price will be increased and the deadline for the completion of construction extended on account of certain circumstances. The guaranteed maximum price also provides for an "owner contingency" of approximately $7.6 million to cover various items including delays and scope changes as a result of the Company's actions.
Additionally, the Company has entered into an agreement with a construction contractor for the design and construction of a parking structure for a maximum cost of $9.85 million, subject to specified exceptions, effective as of June 6, 2002.
Valvino, the Company and Wynn Resorts Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Valvino, have entered into a commitment letter with several lenders for a $750 million
F-45
revolving credit facility and a $250 million delay draw term loan facility (collectively referred to as the Credit Facilities). Management expects to use the proceeds from the Credit Facilities to finance development and construction of Le Rêve, to pay pre-opening expenses and meet debt service obligations. Following completion of Le Rêve, proceeds will be used for operating expenses and general corporate purposes.
Management expects the revolving credit facility to mature six years from the closing date. When borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility equal or exceed $200 million, lead arrangers holding a majority of the commitments of the lead arrangers will have the right to convert $100 million to $400 million of the amounts outstanding to term loans with the same terms and conditions as those made under the delay draw term loan facility.
Management expects the terms of the delay draw term loan to provide for draws of funds under one or more term loans no more frequently than once per month for two years after the closing. Once repaid, term loans may not be reborrowed.
Before Le Rêve opens, the Credit Facilities are expected to bear interest at either the prime rate or reserve Eurodollar Rate, as elected by the Company, plus, in either case, 4.00% per annum. After the opening of Le Rêve, the Credit Facilities interest rate will be reduced to the prime rate or reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus, in either case, a margin based on a leverage ratio.
In addition, the Company's placement agent has received commitments from certain lenders for a $188.5 million facility to finance furniture, fixtures and equipment (the "FF&E Facility"). The FF&E Facility will provide financing or refinancing of up to 75% of the fair market value, including installation costs, of furniture, fixtures and equipment to be used at Le Rêve. Borrowings under the FF&E Facility will bear interest at the same annual rates for base rate or LIBOR elections as borrowings under the Credit Facilities. A commitment fee of 2.50% per annum of the unused portion of the FF&E Facility will accrue from the closing date, increasing to 3.00% on January 1, 2003 and to 4.00% on July 1, 2003. Management expects the FF&E Facility to mature seven years after its closing date. The Company may also use proceeds from the FF&E facility to refinance a replacement corporate aircraft in which case the Company would request the FF&E lenders to increase the total commitment under the FF&E facility by $10 million to $198.5 million.
Valvino is self-insured for medical and worker's compensation claims. The Individual Stop Loss Attachment Point for each claim is $40,000 for medical and $250,000 for worker's compensation claims with a maximum payout of $960,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. Valvino's self-insurance covers any claims made by employees of Wynn Las Vegas, LLC and Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp.
Employees of the Company participate in the Valvino retirement savings plan, which was established in July 2000 under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan allows employees to defer, within prescribed limits, up to 18% of their income on a pre-tax basis through contributions to this plan. Valvino matches the contributions, within prescribed limits,
F-46
with an amount equal to 100% of the participant's initial 2% tax deferred contribution and 50% of the tax deferred contribution between 2% and 4% of the participant's compensation. Valvino recorded charges for matching contributions of approximately $127,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2002, and for the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company's management determined that costs incurred by Valvino associated with certain corporate support services should have been allocated to the Company. As a result, the financial statements of the Company have been restated from the amounts previously reported to reflect the allocation of certain costs associated with corporate support expenses.

VALVINO LAMORE, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
The accompanying pro forma unaudited consolidating financial information is presented assuming the transfer of certain assets, as noted below, to Wynn Resorts, Limited by Valvino Lamore, LLC had occurred as of and for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the event an officer or director is made a party or threatened to be made a party to an action (other than an action brought by or on behalf of the corporation as discussed below) by reason of his or her official position with the corporation provided the director or officer (1) is not liable for the breach of any fiduciary duties as a director or officer involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law or (2) acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may indemnify its officers and directors against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in the event an officer or director is made a party or threatened to be made a party to an action by or on behalf of the corporation by reason of his or her official position with the corporation provided the director or officer (1) is not liable for the breach of any fiduciary duties as a director or officer involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the laws or (2) acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation. The Nevada Revised Statutes further provides that a corporation generally may not indemnify an officer or director if it is determined by a court that such officer or director is liable to the corporation or responsible for any amounts paid to the corporation as a settlement, unless a court also determines that the officer or director is entitled to indemnification in light of all of the relevant facts and circumstances. The Nevada Revised Statutes require a corporation to indemnify an officer or director to the extent he or she is successful on the merits or otherwise successfully defends the action.
The Nevada Revised Statutes also provide that a limited liability company may indemnify its managers, members, employees and agents against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the event a manager, member, employee or agent is made a party or threatened to
II-1
be made a party to an action (other than an action brought by or on behalf of the company as discussed below) by reason of his or her position with the company provided he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company and, with respect to any criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A limited liability company may indemnify its managers, members, employees and agent against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the event a manager, member, employee or agent is made a party or threatened to be made a party to an action by or on behalf of the company by reason of his or her position with the company provided he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company. The Nevada Revised Statues further provide that a limited liability company generally may not indemnify any manager, member, employee or agent if it is determined by a court that he or she is liable to the company or responsible for any amounts paid to the company as a settlement, unless a court also determines that he or she is entitled to indemnification in light of all of the relevant facts and circumstances. The Nevada Revised Statutes require a limited liability company to indemnify a manager, member, employee or agent to the extent he or she is successful on the merits or otherwise successfully defends the action.
Wynn Capital's bylaws provide that it will indemnify its directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Nevada law. These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of Wynn Capital's officers and directors for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act. We have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification of directors or officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is against public policy and, therefore, such indemnification provisions may be unenforceable.
Wynn Las Vegas' and operating agreement, attached as Exhibit 3.2 hereto, provide that it shall indemnify its members to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law.
The Underwriting Agreement, attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, provides for indemnification by the Underwriters of Wynn Resorts and its officers and directors for certain liabilities, including matters arising under the Securities Act.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
The following is a summary of the transactions by the Registrants during the past three years involving sales of the Registrants' securities that were not registered under the Securities Act:
(a) In April 2000, Stephen A. Wynn formed Valvino Lamore, LLC, known as Valvino, as its single member. Between April and September 2000, Mr. Wynn made equity contributions in an aggregate amount of $220.7 million. Until immediately prior to the consummation of this offering, our assets and operations were held and conducted by Valvino and its subsidiaries.
(b) In October 2000, Aruze USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation, contributed $260 million in cash to Valvino in exchange for 100,000 common shares, which represented a 50% interest in the profits and losses of Valvino, and was admitted as a member of Valvino. In connection with such contribution by Aruze USA, Valvino also issued 100,000 common shares, representing a 50% interest in Valvino's profits and losses, to Mr. Wynn to evidence his ownership interest in the limited liability company.
II-2
(c) In April 2001, Baron Asset Fund, a Massachusetts business trust, contributed $20.8 million in cash to Valvino in exchange for 7,692.31 common shares, which represented approximately a 3.70% interest in the profits and losses of Valvino, and was admitted as a member of Valvino.
(d) In April 2002, (1) Baron Asset Fund contributed an additional approximately $20.3 million in cash to Valvino, (2) Aruze USA contributed an additional $120 million in cash to Valvino, (3) Mr. Wynn contributed an additional approximately $32 million in cash to Valvino and (4) Mr. Wynn contributed his interest in Wynn Resorts (Macau) S.A., which was valued at approximately $56 million by the parties in the negotiation of Mr. Wynn's contribution of his interest, to Valvino. As a result of these capital contributions, Baron Asset Fund was issued an additional 2,834.01 common shares and its interest in Valvino's profits and losses increased to 5%. Aruze USA and Mr. Wynn received no additional shares as a result of the April 2002 capital contributions. Immediately following these capital contributions, each of Mr. Wynn and Aruze USA held a 47.5% interest in Valvino's profits and losses.
(e) In June 2002, the Kenneth R. Wynn Family Trust contributed $1.2 million in cash to Valvino in exchange for 307.38 common shares, which represented approximately a 0.146% interest in the profits and losses of Valvino, and was admitted as a member of Valvino.
(f) In May 2002, Wynn Las Vegas Capital Corp., referred to as Wynn Capital, issued one share to Wynn Las Vegas, LLC in connection with the formation of Wynn Capital.
(g) Each of the other guarantor Registrants has engaged in various formation issuances of limited liability company membership interests.
None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering, and the Registrant believes that each transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and, or Regulation D promulgated thereunder or Rule 701 pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701.

Schedules not listed above have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.
Insofar as indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of this Registration Statement or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of Prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of Prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of Prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary thereof) shall have no further liability for the money. If either Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuers, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes shall be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes if:
(1) Wynn Las Vegas delivers to the Trustee written notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by Wynn Las Vegas within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; or
(2) following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Note requests that the Global Notes should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee.
Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a). However, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof.
Neither Issuer nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by a Holder of a Global Note or the Depositary in identifying the beneficial owners of Notes, except as a result of such Issuer's or Trustee's own negligent action, negligent failure to act or own willful misconduct, as the case may be. In the absence of bad faith on their part, the Issuers and the Trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on written instructions from the Holder of a Global Note or the Depositary for all purposes under this Indenture.
(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:
(1) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).
40
(2) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for Definitive Notes. If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, then the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.06(f) hereof, and the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(2) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.
(c) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes.
(d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder's compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(d), the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder must provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the Applicable Procedures or reasonably requested by the Issuers to demonstrate compliance by such Holder with applicable law.

(f) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar's request.
(2) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.10, 4.10, 4.15, 4.16 and 9.05 hereof).

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuers and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee's requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of either Issuer holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
If the Paying Agent (other than an Issuer, a Subsidiary of an Issuer or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.
Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuers, or any of their Affiliates, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 2.11 Cancellation.
The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.

At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; provided, however, that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:
(a) the redemption date;

(i) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).
On or before the Purchase Date, Wynn Las Vegas shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, or if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by Wynn Las Vegas in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.10.

Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Equity.
(a) Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, (i) create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), or (ii) issue any Disqualified Stock or shares of preferred stock; provided, however, Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), if (i) the Opening Date has occurred and (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of Wynn Las Vegas for Wynn Las Vegas' most recently ended four full fiscal quarters following the Opening Date for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred (the "Reference Period") would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis, including a pro forma application of the net proceeds from the Indebtedness, as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period.
(b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):

56
to have a principal amount equal to the sum of the face amount thereof and related unpaid reimbursement obligations) not to exceed an amount equal to (a) $1.0 billion less (b) the aggregate amount of all prepayments of principal Indebtedness that result in permanent reductions of the commitments under the Credit Agreement;

(a) if Wynn Las Vegas or any Guarantor is the obligor on the Indebtedness, the Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Wynn Las Vegas, or its guarantee under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement to which it is a party, in the case of a Guarantor; provided, however, that no Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or any Guarantor shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or any such Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured;
(b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than a Guarantor or Wynn Las Vegas or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither Wynn Las Vegas nor a Restricted Subsidiary thereof nor any Guarantor shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Wynn Las Vegas, such Restricted Entity or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (4); and
(c) in the case of any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause (iv) above, such Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred as a Restricted Payment under Section 4.07 hereof, and, for purposes of Section 4.07 hereof, the obligee or payee on such Indebtedness shall be deemed to have a Restricted Payment on the date on which such Indebtedness is incurred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Indebtedness incurred on such date (or, if less, the principal amount of such Indebtedness from time to time outstanding);
(5) the incurrence by Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any floating rate Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding;

57
bonds or standby letters of credit, so long as the aggregate amount of all such bonds and standby letters of credit is not greater than $20.0 million at any time outstanding;
(7) the incurrence by Wynn Las Vegas, any Restricted Entity or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries of FF&E Financing or Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, including the FF&E Facility in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the Project by Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, so long as:
(a) the principal amount of such Indebtedness does not exceed the cost (including sales and excise taxes, installation and delivery charges and other direct costs of, and other direct expenses paid or charged in connection with, such purchase) of the FF&E or other assets purchased or leased with the proceeds thereof,
(b) unless such Indebtedness is unsecured or is incurred under the FF&E Facility, as in effect of the date of this Indenture, not less than 70% of the aggregate fair market value of the purchase or lease costs of such FF&E or other assets is paid with the proceeds of Indebtedness incurred under this clause (7), and
(c) the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (7), does not exceed an amount outstanding at any time equal to the greater of:
(1) $188.5 million (or $198.5 million from and after the Aircraft Refinancing Date, so long as such additional $10.0 million of Indebtedness is used solely to repay Replacement Aircraft Indebtedness) less (i) the aggregate amount of all prepayments of principal made under the FF&E Facility, less (ii) permanent commitment reductions under the FF&E Facility resulting from the application of Asset Sale or Event of Loss proceeds, and
(2) $100.0 million,
(8) (i) the Guarantee by Wynn Las Vegas, any Restricted Entity or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of any other of Wynn Las Vegas and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) the Guarantee by Valvino Lamore or Wynn Resorts Holdings of Indebtedness of Wynn Resorts Holdings or Valvino Lamore or Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, or (iii) the Guarantee by any Wynn Group Entity of Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas, any Restricted Entity, and any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent the Indebtedness to be Guaranteed is permitted to be incurred by such other entity by another provision of this Section 4.09;
(9) the incurrence by Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in connection with the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests of Wynn Resorts or any Restricted Entity permitted pursuant to clause (6) of Section 4.07(b) hereof;
(10) the incurrence or issuance by Wynn Las Vegas' Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Nonrecourse Debt; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness ceases to be Non-Recourse Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary (but continues to be Indebtedness of a Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas), such event shall be deemed to constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas that was not permitted by this clause (10);
(11) the incurrence by Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness (so long as such Indebtedness is incurred under the Credit Agreement or through the
58
issuance of Additional Notes under this Indenture, or is unsecured Indebtedness) to be used to develop and construct an Entertainment Facility on land included in the Project (other than the Golf Course Land) in an aggregate principal amount (or original accreted value, as applicable) at any time not to exceed the lesser of (a) $50.0 million and (b) 200% of the Net New Equity Proceeds received by Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of this Indenture and used to develop and construct such Entertainment Facility, excluding any Net New Equity Proceeds to the extent those proceeds are:
(a) utilized as a basis for incurring Indebtedness pursuant to clause (12) below,
(b) used to make Restricted Payments under clause (4)(B) of Section 4.07(a) hereof, or clause (2) or (3) of Section 4.07(b) hereof, or
(c) used to make Permitted Investments of the type permitted by clause (5) of the definition of Permitted Investments;
(12) the incurrence by Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness (so long as such Indebtedness is incurred under the Credit Agreement or the FF&E Facility or through the issuance of Additional Notes under this Indenture, or is unsecured Indebtedness) in an aggregate principal amount (or initial accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding incurred pursuant to this clause (12), not to exceed $50.0 million, so long as Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (12) prior to the Completion Date is matched dollar for dollar, by additional Net New Equity Proceeds received by Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the date of this Indenture, excluding any Net New Equity Proceeds to the extent those proceeds are:
(a) utilized as a basis for incurring Indebtedness pursuant to clause (11) above,

(a) such Indebtedness is incurred in the ordinary course of business; and
(b) the obligations of Wynn Las Vegas, any Restricted Entity or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, supported by such performance bonds, guaranties, trade letters of credit, bankers' acceptances or similar instruments (1) consist solely of payment obligations with respect to costs incurred in accordance with the Project Budget which would otherwise be permitted to be paid by the applicable entity pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement, (2) are secured, and (3) are secured solely by Liens permitted by clause (22) of the definition of "Permitted Liens."
(c) Neither Wynn Las Vegas nor any Guarantor shall incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also
59
contractually subordinated (except for the priority of Permitted Liens and except as otherwise contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreements) in right of payment to the Notes, in the case of Wynn Las Vegas, or the Note Guarantee contained in its Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in the case of a Guarantor on substantially identical terms. No Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or any Guarantor shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or any such Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured.
(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in (1) through (13) of Section 4.09(b) hereof, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Issuers shall be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09.
Section 4.10 Asset Sales.
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(a) no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Asset Sale;
(b) except with respect to Non-Project Assets, the Opening Date has occurred;
(c) the applicable entity receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of (it being understood that a percentage of the purchase price may be subject to escrow arrangements customary for asset sales);
(d) if the aggregate consideration to be received by the applicable entity is in excess of $10.0 million, the fair market value is evidenced by a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the applicable entity delivered to the Trustee; and
(e) at least 75% (or 95%, in the case of any Asset Sale that occurs on or before the Completion Date) of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the applicable entity is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.
For purposes of this Section 4.10, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:
(1) any liabilities, as shown on such entity's most recent consolidated balance sheet, of such entity (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases such entity from further liability; and
(2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by such entity from such transferee that are converted within 30 Business Days following such receipt by such entity into cash to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.
After the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by Wynn Las Vegas, any Restricted Entity or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, the applicable entity:
(1) within 270 days (or within 90 days, in the case of any Asset Sale that occurs on or before the Completion Date) after receipt of such Net Proceeds, may apply the Net Proceeds to repay secured unsubordinated Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce the commitments with respect to such Indebtedness, or
60
(2) within 270 days (or within 90 days, in the case of any Asset Sale that occurs on or before the Completion Date) after receipt of such Net Proceeds, may apply any Net Proceeds to make a capital expenditure, improve real property or acquire long-term assets that are used or useful in a line of business permitted by Section 4.13 hereof.
In any such case, the Restricted Entities shall take all necessary action to ensure that the security interest of the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, continues as a perfected security interest (subject only to the security interest securing the Credit Agreement and other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements) on any property or assets acquired or constructed with the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale on the terms set forth in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the other Collateral Documents. Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the applicable entity may (1) apply the Net Proceeds to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under any secured unsubordinated Indebtedness of Wynn Las Vegas or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (2) invest the Net Proceeds in Cash Equivalents which shall be subject to a perfected security interest (subject only to the security interest securing the Credit Agreement and other Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements) in favor of the Trustee as security for the Notes.
Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied to repay Indebtedness or invested, in each case as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." Within 10 days following the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, Wynn Las Vegas shall make an offer (an "Asset Sale Offer") to all Holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the applicable entity may use those Excess Proceeds for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased as described in Section 3.02 hereof. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.10 or 4.10 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under those provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.
Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.
(a) Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:
(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the relevant entity than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by such entity with an unrelated Person; and
61
(2) Wynn Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Entity or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be delivers to the Trustee:

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million (or $25.0 million, with respect to Qualified Intercompany Agreements), an opinion as to the fairness to the applicable entity of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing prior to the consummation of such Affiliate Transaction; and
(C) in the case of any Affiliate Transaction involving the use of the Existing Aircraft or the Replacement Aircraft (in each case, if such aircraft is owned by Wynn Las Vegas, any Restricted Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary) for any purpose not reasonably related to the Project or the Permitted Businesses of Wynn Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Entity or Restricted Subsidiary relating to or in connection with the Project, Wynn Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Entity or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is reimbursed promptly for actual costs and expenses incurred by such Person in connection with such use.
(b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a):
(1) the Wynn Employment Agreement or any other employment agreement entered into by Wynn Las Vegas, any Restricted Entity or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries with any Person (other than the Principal) in the ordinary course of business on terms customary in the applicable Permitted Business in which it operates;
(2) the payment of reasonable directors' fees to directors of Wynn Resorts, Wynn Capital or any Guarantor, and customary indemnification and insurance arrangements in favor of such directors, in each case in the ordinary course of business;

Section 4.12 Liens.
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or any proceeds, income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens.
Section 4.13 Line of Business.
Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business or investment activities other than the Permitted Business. Wynn Las Vegas and the Restricted Entities shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, conduct a Permitted Business in any gaming jurisdiction in which such entity is not licensed on the date of this Indenture if the Holders of the Notes would be required to be licensed as a result thereof; provided that this sentence shall not prohibit any entity from conducting a Permitted Business in any jurisdiction that does not require the licensing or qualification of all the Holders of Notes, but reserves the discretionary right to require the licensing or qualification of any Holders of Notes.
Section 4.14 Corporate and Organizational Existence.
Subject to Article 5 hereof, each of the Issuers and the Restricted Entities shall, and shall cause each of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:
(a) its corporate or limited liability company existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with their respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time); and
(b) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuers, the Restricted Entities and their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuers and the Restricted Entities shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than the Issuers), if the Board of Directors of Wynn Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Entity shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Restricted Entities and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.
Section 4.15 Offer to Purchase Upon Change of Control.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuers shall make an offer (a "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of each Holder's Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes purchased, if any, to the date of repurchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within ten days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:
(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered shall be accepted for payment;

(7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.
The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.10 or 4.15 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under Section 3.10 or this Section 4.15 by virtue of such conflict.

64
in this Section 4.15 and Section 3.10 hereof and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.

After any Event of Loss of Collateral comprising the Project occurring after the Final Completion Date in an amount of up to $500.0 million (measured as the greater of the fair market value or the replacement cost of the Collateral subject to such Event of Loss), Wynn Las Vegas, the applicable Restricted Entity or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply the Net Loss Proceeds from the Event of Loss to the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction of improvements to the Project, with no obligation to make any purchase of any Notes; provided that, in the case of any such Collateral with a fair market value (or replacement cost, if higher) in excess of $15.0 million but less than or equal to $500.0 million:
(a) Wynn Las Vegas delivers to the Trustee within 60 days of the Event of Loss a written opinion from a reputable contractor that the Minimum Facilities can be rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed and operating within 365 days following the Event of Loss;
(b) Wynn Las Vegas delivers to the Trustee within 60 days of the Event of Loss an Officers' Certificate certifying that the applicable entity has available from Net Loss Proceeds, cash on hand or available borrowings under Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 hereof to complete the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction described in clause (a) above and, together with any anticipated revenues projected to be generated during the repair or restoration period, to pay debt service on its Indebtedness during the repair or restoration period; and
(c) the damaged Collateral is rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed and operating in substantially the manner that it was operating immediately prior to the Event of Loss within 365 days following the Event of Loss.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.16, if the damaged Collateral is not necessary for and is not used in the operation of the Permitted Business of the Project, the applicable entity may apply the Net Loss Proceeds to make a capital expenditure, improve real property or acquire long-term assets that are used or useful in a line of business permitted by Section 4.13 hereof.
The ability of Wynn Las Vegas, any Restricted Entities or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to repair or restore any of the Collateral following an Event of Loss that occurs on or prior to the Final Completion Date shall be governed by the Disbursement Agreement.
Any Net Loss Proceeds that are not (1) permitted to be used to repair or restore the Collateral pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement, (2) reinvested as provided in the first sentence of this Section 4.16 or (3) permitted to be reinvested because those Net Loss Proceeds exceed $500.0 million, in each case, shall be deemed "Excess Loss Proceeds." Within 10 days following the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, Wynn Las Vegas shall make an offer (an "Event of Loss Offer") to all Holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Loss Proceeds. The offer price in any Event of Loss Offer shall be 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Loss Proceeds remain after consummation of an Event of Loss Offer, the applicable entity may use such Excess Loss Proceeds for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered in such Event of Loss Offer exceeds the Excess Loss Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased as described in Section 3.02 hereof. Upon completion of each Event of Loss Offer, the amount of Excess Loss Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
Pending their application, all Excess Loss Proceeds shall either be (1) applied to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, or (2) invested in Cash Equivalents held in
65
an account in which the Trustee has a perfected security interest for the benefit of the Holders, subject only to Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements; provided that such funds and securities shall be released to Wynn Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Entity or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, to pay for or reimburse such Person for either (1) the actual cost of a permitted use of Excess Loss Proceeds as provided in this Section 4.16, or (2) the Event of Loss Offer, pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents. Wynn Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Entity or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall grant to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, a security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, on any property or assets rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed with such Excess Loss Proceeds on the terms set forth in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.
In the event of an Event of Loss pursuant to clause (3) of the definition of "Event of Loss" with respect to property or assets that have a fair market value (or replacement cost, if greater) in excess of $10.0 million, Wynn Las Vegas or the applicable Restricted Entity or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall be required to receive consideration:
(a) at least equal to the fair market value (evidenced by a resolution of the applicable entity's Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the property or assets subject to the Event of Loss; and
(b) at least 90% of which is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.
The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Event of Loss Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Sections 3.10 or 4.16 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under those provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.
Section 4.17 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries
The Board of Directors of Wynn Las Vegas may designate any Restricted Subsidiary, other than Wynn Capital, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas if that designation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated shall be deemed to be an Investment made in an Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof or Permitted Investments, as determined by Wynn Las Vegas. That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of Wynn Las Vegas may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas to be a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas if the redesignation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.
In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (l) or (m) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to any Material Entity, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately
78
without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.
If an Event of Default occurs on or after , 2006 by reason of any willful action or inaction taken or not taken by or on behalf of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas or any Restricted Entity, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Issuers would have had to pay if the Issuers then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default occurs prior to , 2006 by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas or any Restricted Entity, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes prior to such date, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an additional premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable in an amount, for each of the years beginning on of the years set forth below, as set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes on the date of payment that would otherwise be due but for the provisions of this sentence):
Year |
Percentage |

---|---|---|---|
2003 | % | ||
2004 | % | ||
2005 and thereafter | % |
Section 6.03 Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
79
Section 6.05 Control by Majority.
Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.
A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:
(a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and
(e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.
Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.
Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any
80
custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10 Priorities.

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any and interest, respectively; and
Third: to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in Sections 8.02(a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents, and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuers, and the Guarantors released shall omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) through 6.01(h), Section 6.01(j) and Sections 6.01(n) through 6.01(p) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

It is not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.

(a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes, except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.10, 4.10, 4.15 and 4.16 hereof;

(e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;
(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes;

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuers and the Guarantors may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until their respective Boards of Directors approve it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

(4) the construction of Stephen A. Wynn's personal residence shall not interfere with the design, construction, operation or use of the remainder of the Golf Course Land as a Golf Course and otherwise could not reasonably be expected to materially impair the overall value of the Project,
94
(5) the lenders under the Credit Agreement concurrently release their Liens on the Wynn Home Site Land, and

(e) The Trustee shall release (at the sole cost and expense of the Issuers) the Liens granted by Valvino Lamore in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders on the Phase II Land to secure its Obligations under its Note Guarantee if the lenders under the Credit Agreement concurrently release their first priority Liens in the Phase II Land, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing immediately prior to or after giving effect to that release; provided that it shall not be deemed to be a release of such first priority Liens requiring the release by the Trustee of its Liens on the Phase II Land if the release of such first priority Liens is as a result of a refinancing of the Credit Agreement, as a result of which the first priority Liens in favor of the administrative agent (for the benefit of the lenders under the Credit Agreement) are replaced with Liens in favor of the lenders or holders of such refinancing Indebtedness (or a representative on their behalf). In the event that, following the release of the Trustee's Liens (for the benefit of the Holders) in the Phase II Land, Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries grants a Lien on any or all of the Phase II Land to secure such refinancing Indebtedness or any guarantee thereof, such Person shall concurrently grant a Lien on such Phase II Land in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders to secure the Notes (or, if such Person is a Guarantor, its Note Guarantee); provided that the Lien in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders shall be a second priority Lien, subject only to the Liens securing the refinancing Indebtedness or the guarantee of such Indebtedness, as applicable, and other Permitted Liens). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 10.03(e) shall permit the release of any portions of the Phase II Land on which any Entertainment Facility is being or has been constructed from time to time.
(f) Upon receipt by the Trustee of the applicable Officers' Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 10.03(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), as the case may be, the Trustee shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Section 10.03.
(g) The release of any Collateral from the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture. To the extent applicable, the Issuers shall cause TIA § 313(b), relating to reports, and TIA § 314(d), relating to the release of property or securities from the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents and this Indenture and relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents and this Indenture, to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA § 314(d) may be made by an Officer of Wynn Las Vegas except in cases where TIA § 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person shall be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected or approved by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Collateral Documents, no Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interests created by the Collateral Documents unless the Officers' Certificate required by this Section 10.03 has been delivered to the Trustee and any applicable provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements have been complied with.
(i) At any time when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise), no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.03 or the Collateral Documents shall be effective as against the Holders of Notes.
95
Section 10.04 Certificates of the Issuers.
In addition to the requirements under Section 10.03, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee, prior to each proposed release of Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents:
(a) all documents required by TIA §314(d) and the Collateral Documents; and
(b) an Opinion of Counsel, which may be rendered by internal counsel to the Issuers, to the effect that such accompanying documents constitute all documents required by TIA §314(d).
The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained in such documents and such Opinion of Counsel.
Section 10.05 Certificates of the Trustee.
In the event that the Issuers wish to release Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Documents and have delivered the certificates and documents required by the Collateral Documents and Sections 10.03 and 10.04 hereof, the Trustee shall determine whether it has received all documentation required by TIA § 314(d) in connection with such release.
Section 10.06 Authorization of Actions to Be Taken by the Trustee Under the Collateral Documents.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and 7.02 hereof and the Collateral Documents, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders of Notes, on behalf of the Holders of Notes, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:
(a) enforce any of the terms of the Collateral Documents; and
(b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereunder and under the Collateral Documents.
The Trustee shall have power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of Notes in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of Notes or of the Trustee).
Section 10.07 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Collateral Documents.
The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders of Notes distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 10.08 Rights in the Pledged Collateral.
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the other Collateral Documents, Wynn Las Vegas and each Guarantor shall be entitled to receive the benefit of all cash dividends, interest and other payments made upon or with respect to the Collateral pledged by such Person and to exercise any voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral pledged by such Person. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and, subject to the terms of the
96
Collateral Documents and the limitations in the Intercreditor Agreements and the exercise by the Trustee of its rights under the Collateral Documents:
(1) upon receipt by the affected Person of notice from the Trustee so stating, all rights of such Person to exercise such voting or other consensual rights shall cease, and all such rights shall become vested in the Trustee which, to the extent permitted by law, shall have the sole right to exercise such rights;
(2) all rights of such Person to receive all cash dividends, interest and other payments made upon, or with respect to, the Collateral shall cease and such cash dividends, interest and other payments shall be paid to the Trustee; and
(3) subject to applicable law, the Trustee may sell the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the other Collateral Documents.
(b) Nothing contained in this Section 10.08 shall be deemed to restrict the ability of Wynn Las Vegas to make the Restricted Payments permitted to be made during the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 4.07(b) hereof.
Section 10.09 Termination of Security Interest.
Upon the payment in full in immediately available funds of all Obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes, or upon Legal Defeasance, the Trustee shall, at the written request of the Issuers, release the Liens on the Collateral and take such actions at the Issuers' sole cost and expense as the Issuers may reasonably request to evidence such release, including, without limitation, the return of assets pledged as Collateral and the execution and delivery of related instruments of transfer, lien, releases, reconveyances, termination statements and any similar documents and instruments.
ARTICLE 11.
NOTE GUARANTEES
Section 11.01 Note Guarantee.
(a) Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:
(1) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and performance and not a guarantee of collection.
(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Indenture or the Collateral Documents, the
97
absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.
(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.
Section 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 11.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.
To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
98
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
In the event that the Issuers create or acquire any Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Sections 4.26 and 4.31 hereof, the Issuers shall cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.26 and 4.31 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.
Section 11.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.
In case of any consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of or involving a Guarantor under Section 5.01 hereof, and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuers or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuers or another Guarantor.
Section 11.05 Releases Following Sale of Assets.
Subject to compliance with Section 5.01 hereof, the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor and the security interests granted by that Guarantor to secure its Note Guarantee shall be released: (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Wynn Las Vegas, a Restricted Entity or one of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, or Wynn Resorts if it is then a Parent Guarantor, if the sale or other disposition complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof; or (2) in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Wynn Las Vegas, a Restricted Entity or one of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, or Wynn Resorts if it is then a Parent Guarantor, if the sale complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof. Upon delivery by Wynn Las Vegas to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Issuers in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.
Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11.
99
ARTICLE 12.
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 12.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.
This Indenture and the Collateral Documents shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:
(a) either:
(1) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(2) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or shall become due and payable within one year and the Issuers have or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;
(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which either Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which either Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;
(c) the Issuers or any Guarantor have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuers under this Indenture; and
(d) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.
In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (1) of clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 shall be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
Section 12.02 Application of Trust Money.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment
100
of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuers' and any Guarantor's obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01; provided that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

C-1
performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.
(b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Indenture or the Collateral Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
(c) The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.
(d) This Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture.
(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
(f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.
(g) As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

3. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Note Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
4. GUARANTEEING SUBSIDIARY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON CERTAIN TERMS.

C-2
transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of (a) Wynn Las Vegas, the Restricted Entities and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (b) Wynn Las Vegas and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (c) such Guarantor, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:
(i) either (a) such Guarantor is the surviving entity or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;
(ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Documents pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; provided that this Section 4(a)(ii) shall not apply to any merger, consolidation, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets of a Guarantor with, into or to Wynn Las Vegas, so long as, in the case of any consolidation or merger, Wynn Las Vegas is the survivor of such consolidation or merger;
(iii) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;
(iv) such transaction would not result in the loss or suspension or material impairment of any Gaming License unless a comparable replacement Gaming License is effective at no material cost prior to or simultaneously with such loss, suspension or material impairment;
(v) such Guarantor or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made shall have Consolidated Net Worth immediately after the transaction equal to or greater than the Consolidated Net Worth of such Guarantor immediately preceding the transaction (excluding the effect of the related professional fees, commissions, sales and other taxes, and other transactional costs that would otherwise reduce Consolidated Net Worth);
(vi) in the case of a consolidation or merger of a Guarantor that is a Restricted Subsidiary of Wynn Las Vegas or the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of the property or assets of such Guarantor, the Issuers shall, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) of the Indenture; and
(vii) such transaction, at the time it is undertaken, would not require any Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes to obtain a Gaming License or be qualified or found suitable under the law of any applicable gaming jurisdiction; provided that such Holder or Beneficial Owner would not have been required to obtain a Gaming License or be qualified or found suitable under the laws of any applicable gaming jurisdiction in the absence of such transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions or the provisions of Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture, a Guarantor may consolidate or merge with or into another Guarantor, or sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to another Guarantor, so long as (1) the conditions in clauses (iii), (iv) and (vii) of the preceding paragraph are satisfied, and (2) such Guarantor or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, or the Guarantor to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made, as the case may be, is Solvent.
C-3

(ii) between Wynn Resorts Holdings and Valvino Lamore, excluding a transfer of any or all of the Golf Course Land, unless such Golf Course Land is then a Released Asset,
(iii) by (i) any Restricted Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Entity, that, in each case, is not a Guarantor to (ii) any Restricted Entity or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Entity that, in each case, is a Guarantor, or
(iv) by any Wynn Group Entity to any Restricted Entity.
For purposes of this Section 4, a sale of properties or assets by a Guarantor shall not constitute a sale of "substantially all of the properties or assets" of that Guarantor if, following that sale, the Guarantor owns or holds (1) any of the Water Rights for the Project (excluding Water Rights that are then Released Assets), or (2) any of the Phase II Land or the Golf Course Land (excluding any such land that is then a Released Asset).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4 or the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Indenture, each Guarantor is permitted to reorganize as a corporation pursuant to a Permitted C-Corp. Conversion.
(c) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of or involving a Guarantor and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable under the Indenture which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
(d) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 and Section 11.04 of Article 11 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuers or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuers or another Guarantor.
5. RELEASES.
(a) Subject to compliance with Section 5.01 of the Indenture, the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor and the security interests granted by that Guarantor to secure its Note Guarantee shall be released: (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Wynn Las Vegas, a Restricted Entity or one of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, or Wynn Resorts if it is then a Parent Guarantor, if the sale or other disposition complies with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including,
C-4
without limitation, Section 4.10 of the Indenture; or (2) in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Wynn Las Vegas, a Restricted Entity or one of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, or Wynn Resorts if it is then a Parent Guarantor, if the sale complies with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 of the Indenture. Upon delivery by Wynn Las Vegas to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Issuers in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.
(b) In the event Wynn Las Vegas properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, such Guarantor shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.
(c) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 11 of the Indenture.
6. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, organizer, equity holder or member of any Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of either Issuer, any Restricted Entity, any such Restricted Subsidiary or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture, the Collateral Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
8. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.
9. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
10. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Issuers.

(b) Except for Permitted Dispositions, no material part of the Improvements or Tangible Collateral that are part of the Trust Estate shall be removed, demolished or materially altered, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Trustor shall have the right, without such consent, to remove and dispose of free from the lien of this Deed of Trust any part of the Improvements or Tangible Collateral that are part of the Trust Estate as from time to time may become worn out or obsolete or otherwise not useful in connection with the operation of the Trust Estate, provided that either (i) such removal or disposition does not materially affect the value of the Trust Estate or (ii) prior to or promptly following such removal, any such property shall be replaced with other property of substantially equal utility and of a value at least substantially equal to that of the replaced property when first acquired and free from any security interest of any other person (subject only to Permitted Liens), and by such removal and replacement Trustor shall be deemed to have subjected such replacement property to the lien of this Deed of Trust.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.7, the Trustor may develop the Project in the manner contemplated by the Disbursement Agreement, the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the other Indenture Documents.
1.8 Leases.
(a) Trustor represents, warrants and covenants that:
(i) except for the assignment effected hereby and in the other Financing Agreements, Trustor has not executed any assignment or pledge of any of Space Leases, the Rents, or of Trustor's right, title and interest in the same; and
12
(ii) this Deed of Trust does not and will not constitute a violation or default under any Space Lease, and is and shall at all times constitute a valid lien on Trustor's interests in the Space Leases.
(b) Trustor shall not enter into any Space Lease or any modifications or amendments to any Space Lease, either orally or in writing, unless such Space Lease complies with the requirements of the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the Second Mortgage Notes Security Documents.
(c) After an Event of Default, upon the request of Beneficiary Trustor shall deliver to Beneficiary executed copies of all Space Leases.
1.9 Further Encumbrance.
(a) Trustor covenants that at all times prior to the discharge of the Obligations, except for Permitted Liens and Permitted Dispositions, Trustor shall neither make nor suffer to exist, nor enter into any agreement for, any sale, assignment, exchange, mortgage, transfer, Lien, hypothecation or encumbrance of all or any part of the Trust Estate, including, without limitation, the Rents. As used herein, "transfer" includes the actual transfer or other disposition, whether voluntary or involuntary, by law, or otherwise, except those transfers specifically permitted herein, provided, however, that "transfer" shall not include the granting of utility or other beneficial easements with respect to the Trust Estate which have been or are granted by Trustor and are reasonably necessary to the construction, maintenance or operation of the Project.
(b) Any Permitted Lien consisting of the lien of a deed of trust which is junior to the lien of the Indenture Documents (a "Subordinate Deed of Trust") shall be permitted hereunder so long as there shall have been delivered to Beneficiary, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date thereof, a copy thereof which shall contain express covenants in form and substance satisfactory to Beneficiary to the effect that: (i) the Subordinate Deed of Trust is in all respects subject and subordinate to this Deed of Trust; (ii) if any action or proceeding shall be brought to foreclose the Subordinate Deed of Trust (regardless of whether the same is a judicial proceeding or pursuant to a power of sale contained therein), no tenant of any portion of the Trust Estate shall be named as a party defendant nor shall any action be taken with respect to the Trust Estate which would terminate any occupancy or tenancy of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof, without the consent of Beneficiary; (iii) any Rents, if collected through a receiver or by the holder of the Subordinate Deed of Trust, shall be applied first to the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust, including principal and interest due and owing on or to become due and owing on the Notes or the other Indenture Documents, and then to the payment of maintenance expenses, operating charges, taxes, assessments, and disbursements incurred in connection with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Trust Estate; and (iv) if any action or proceeding shall be brought to foreclose the Subordinate Deed of Trust, prompt notice of the commencement thereof shall be given to Beneficiary.
(c) Trustor agrees that in the event the ownership of the Trust Estate or any part thereof becomes vested in a person other than Trustor, Beneficiary may, without notice to Trustor, deal in any way with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Deed of Trust, the Notes, the other Indenture Documents and other Obligations hereby secured without in any way vitiating or discharging Trustor's or any guarantor's, surety's or endorser's liability hereunder or upon the obligations hereby secured. No sale of the Trust Estate and no forbearance to any person with respect to this Deed of Trust and no extension to any person of the time for payment of the Obligations, and other sums hereby secured given by Beneficiary shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Trustor, or such guarantor, surety or endorser either in whole or in part.
13
(d) If Trustor shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it under any FF&E Financing Agreement, except where Trustor is contesting such payment in good faith, then the Beneficiary shall be entitled to make such payment on Trustor's behalf and any and all sums so expended by the Beneficiary shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall be repaid by Trustor upon demand, together with interest thereon at the interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture from the date of advance.
1.10 Partial Releases of Trust Estate.
(a) Trustor may from time to time make a Permitted Disposition including, but not limited to, (i) transferring a portion of the Trust Estate (including any temporary taking) to any person legally empowered to exercise the power of eminent domain, or pursuant to dedication agreements that are now in effect or entered into in the future in connection with the development of the Project, (ii) granting utility easements reasonably necessary or desirable for the construction and/or operation of the Project, which grant or transfer is for the benefit of the Trust Estate, or (iii) transferring a portion of the Trust Estate as permitted pursuant to the Disbursement Agreement. In each such case, Beneficiary shall execute and deliver any instruments necessary or appropriate to effectuate or confirm any such transfer or grant, free from the lien of this Deed of Trust, provided, however, that Beneficiary shall execute a lien release or subordination agreement, as appropriate, for matters described in clauses (i) and (iii) above only if:
(A) Such transfer, grant or release is not prohibited by the Mortgage Notes Indenture and all conditions precedent contained in the Mortgage Notes Indenture for such transfer, grant or release, if any, shall have been satisfied;
(B) Beneficiary and Trustee shall have received a counterpart of the instrument pursuant to which such transfer, grant or release is to be made, and each instrument which Beneficiary or Trustee is requested to execute in order to effectuate or confirm such transfer, grant or release; and
(C) Beneficiary and Trustee shall have received an Officer's Certificate if required pursuant to the Mortgage Notes Indenture.
(b) Any consideration received for a transfer to any person empowered to exercise the right of eminent domain shall be subject to Section 1.6 hereof.
1.11 Further Assurances.
(a) At its sole cost and without expense to Trustee or Beneficiary, and subject in all events to compliance with the Nevada Gaming Laws and other applicable Legal Requirements, Trustor shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such further acts, deeds, conveyances, notices, requests for notices, financing statements, continuation statements, certificates, assignments, notices of assignments, agreements, instruments and further assurances, and shall mark any chattel paper, deliver any chattel paper or instruments to Beneficiary and take any other actions that are necessary, prudent, or reasonably requested by Beneficiary or Trustee to perfect or continue the perfection and first priority of Beneficiary's security interest in the Trust Estate, to protect the Trust Estate against the rights, claims, or interests of third persons other than holders of Permitted Liens or to effect the purposes of this Deed of Trust, including the security agreement and the absolute assignment of Rents contained herein, or for the filing, registering or recording thereof.
(b) Trustor shall forthwith upon the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, and thereafter from time to time, cause this Deed of Trust and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, indexed, registered, recorded, given or delivered in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien hereof upon, and the title of Trustee and/or Beneficiary to, the Trust Estate.
14
1.12 Security Agreement and Financing Statements. Trustor (as debtor) hereby grants to Beneficiary (as creditor and secured party) a present and future security interest in all Tangible Collateral, Intangible Collateral, FF&E, Improvements, all other personal property now or hereafter owned or leased by Trustor or in which Trustor has or will have any interest, to the extent that such property constitutes a part of the Trust Estate (whether or not such items are stored on the premises or elsewhere), Proceeds of the foregoing comprising a portion of the Trust Estate and all products, substitutions, and accessions therefor and thereto, subject to Beneficiary's rights to treat such property as real property as herein provided (collectively, the "Personal Property"). Trustor shall execute and/or deliver any and all documents and writings, including without limitation financing statements pursuant to the UCC, as may be necessary or prudent to preserve and maintain the priority of the security interest granted hereby on property which may be deemed subject to the foregoing security agreement or as Beneficiary may reasonably request, and shall pay to Beneficiary on demand any reasonable expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the preparation, execution and filing of any such documents. Trustor hereby authorizes and empowers Beneficiary to file, on Trustor's behalf, all financing statements and refiling and continuations thereof as advisable to create, preserve and protect said security interest. Trustor acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not, authenticate or file, or authorize the filing of, any financing statements or other record with respect to the Personal Property (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), except as permitted by the Indenture Documents. Trustor approves and ratifies any filing or recording of records made by or on behalf of Beneficiary in connection with the perfection of the security interest in favor of Beneficiary hereunder. This Deed of Trust constitutes both a real property deed of trust and a "security agreement," within the meaning of the UCC, and the Trust Estate includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Trustor in the Trust Estate. Trustor by executing and delivering this Deed of Trust has granted to Beneficiary, as security of the Obligations, a security interest in the Trust Estate.
(a) Fixture Filing. Without in any way limiting the generality of the immediately preceding paragraph or of the definition of the Trust Estate, this Deed of Trust constitutes a fixture filing under Sections 9-334 and 9-502 of the UCC (NRS 104.9334 and 104.9502). For such purposes, (i) the "debtor" is Trustor and its address is the address given for it in the initial paragraph of this Deed of Trust; (ii) the "secured party" is Beneficiary, and its address for the purpose of obtaining information is the address given for it in the initial paragraph of this Deed of Trust; (iii) the real estate to which the fixtures are or are to become attached is Trustor's interest in the Site; and (iv) the record owner of such real estate is Trustor.
(b) Remedies. This Deed of Trust shall be deemed a security agreement as defined in the UCC and the remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the agreements herein contained shall include any or all of (i) those prescribed herein, and (ii) those available under applicable law, and (iii) those available under the UCC, all at Beneficiary's sole election. In addition, a photographic or other reproduction of this Deed of Trust shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing wherever filing may be necessary to perfect or continue the security interest granted herein.
(c) Derogation of Real Property. It is the intention of the parties that the filing of a financing statement in the records normally having to do with personal property shall never be construed as in anyway derogating from or impairing the express declaration and intention of the parties hereto as hereinabove stated that everything used in connection with the production of income from the Trust Estate and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Deed of Trust is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable, shall be regarded as part of the real property encumbered by this Deed of Trust irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain equipment items capable of being thus identified in a recital
15
contained herein or in any list filed with Beneficiary, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement so filed at any time. It is the intention of the parties that the mention in any such financing statement of (1) rights in or to the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, or (2) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (3) Trustor's interest as lessors in any present or future Space Lease or rights to Rents, shall never be construed as in anyway altering any of the rights of Beneficiary as determined by this Deed of Trust or impugning the priority of Beneficiary's real property lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such mention in the financing statement is declared to be for the protection of Beneficiary in the event any court or judge shall at any time hold with respect to the matters set forth in the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) that notice of Beneficiary's priority of interest to be effective against a particular class of persons, including but not limited to, the federal government and any subdivisions or entity of the federal government, must be filed in the UCC records.
(d) Priority; Permitted Financing of Tangible Collateral. All Personal Property of any nature whatsoever which is subject to the provisions of this security agreement shall be purchased or obtained by Trustor in its name and free and clear of any lien or encumbrance, except for Permitted Liens and the lien hereof, for use only in connection with the business and operation of the Project, and shall be and at all times remain free and clear of any lease or similar arrangement, chattel financing, installment sale agreement, security agreement and any encumbrance of like kind, so that Beneficiary's security interest shall attach to and vest in Trustor for the benefit of Beneficiary, with the priority herein specified, immediately upon the installation or use of the Personal Property at the Site and Trustor warrants and represents that Beneficiary's security interest in the Personal Property is a validly attached and binding security interest, properly perfected and prior to all other security interests therein except as otherwise permitted in this Deed of Trust. The foregoing shall not be construed as limiting Trustor's rights to transfer Personal Property pursuant to Permitted Dispositions or to obtain releases of Personal Property from the Lien of this Deed of Trust pursuant to Section 1.10 hereof.
(e) Preservation of Contractual Rights of Collateral. Trustor shall, prior to delinquency, default, or forfeiture, perform all obligations and satisfy all material conditions required on its part to be satisfied to preserve its rights and privileges under any contract, lease, license, permit, or other authorization (i) under which it holds any Tangible Collateral or (ii) which constitutes part of the Intangible Collateral, except where Trustor is contesting such obligations in good faith.
(f) Removal of Collateral. Except for damaged or obsolete Tangible Collateral which is either no longer usable or which is removed temporarily for repair or improvement or removed for replacement on the Trust Estate with Tangible Collateral of similar function or as otherwise permitted herein, none of the Tangible Collateral shall be removed from the Trust Estate without Beneficiary's prior written consent.
(g) Change of Name. Trustor shall not change its corporate (or other entity) or business name, or do business within the State of Nevada under any name other than such name, or any trade name(s) other than those as to which Trustor gives prior written notice to Beneficiary of its intent to use such trade names, or any other business names (if any) specified in the financing statements delivered to Beneficiary for filing in connection with the execution hereof, without, in each case, providing Beneficiary with the additional financing statement(s) and any other similar documents deemed reasonably necessary by Beneficiary to assure that its security interest remains perfected and of undiminished priority in all such Personal Property notwithstanding such name change.
1.13 Assignment of Leases and Rents. Subject to Nevada Gaming Laws and other applicable Legal Requirements, the assignment of Leases and Rents set out above in Granting Clause (G) shall
16
constitute an absolute and present assignment to Beneficiary, subject to the license herein given to Trustor to collect the Rents, and shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of any party, and specifically Beneficiary shall be entitled upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder to all Rents and to enter upon the Site and the Improvements to collect such Rents, provided, however, that Beneficiary shall not be obligated to take possession of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof. The absolute assignment contained in Granting Clause (G) shall not be deemed to impose upon Beneficiary any of the obligations or duties of Trustor provided in any such Space Lease (including, without limitation, any liability under the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in any lease in the event that any lessee shall have been joined as a party defendant in any action to foreclose this Deed of Trust and shall have been barred and foreclosed thereby of all right, title and interest and equity of redemption in the Trust Estate or any part thereof).
1.14 Expenses.
(a) Trustor shall pay when due and payable all out-of-pocket costs, including without limitation, those reasonable appraisal fees, recording fees, taxes, abstract fees, title policy fees, escrow fees, attorneys' and paralegal fees, travel expenses, fees for inspecting architect(s) and engineer(s) and all other costs and expenses of every character which may hereafter be incurred by Beneficiary or any assignee of Beneficiary in connection with the preparation and execution of the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the other Indenture Documents to which Trustor is a party or instruments, agreements or documents of further assurance, the funding of the indebtedness secured hereby, and the enforcement of the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document to which Trustor is a party. Other than costs associated with the enforcement of any Indenture Document, all such costs shall be itemized in reasonable detail; and
(b) Trustor shall, upon demand by Beneficiary, reimburse Beneficiary or any assignee of Beneficiary for all such reasonable expenses which have been incurred or which shall be incurred by it; and
(c) Trustor shall indemnify Beneficiary with respect to any transaction or matter in any way connected with any portion of the Trust Estate, this Deed of Trust, including any occurrence at, in, on, upon or about the Trust Estate (including any personal injury, loss of life, or property damage), or Trustor's use, occupancy, or operation of the Trust Estate, or the filing or enforcement of any mechanic's lien, or otherwise caused in whole or in part by any act, omission or negligence occurring on or at the Trust Estate, including failure to comply with any Legal Requirement or with any requirement of this Deed of Trust that applies to Trustor, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Trustee or Beneficiary. If Beneficiary is a party to any litigation as to which either Trustor is required to indemnify Beneficiary (or is made a defendant in any action of any kind against Trustor or relating directly or indirectly to any portion of the Trust Estate) then, at Beneficiary's option, Trustor shall undertake Beneficiary's defense, using counsel reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary (and any settlement shall be subject to Beneficiary's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and in any case shall indemnify Beneficiary against such litigation. Trustor shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable legal costs, that Beneficiary pays or incurs in connection with any such litigation. Any amount payable under any indemnity in this Deed of Trust shall be a demand obligation, shall be added to, and become a part of, the secured obligations under this Deed of Trust, shall be secured by this Deed of Trust and shall bear interest at the interest rate specified in the Mortgage Notes Indenture. Such indemnity shall survive any release of this Deed of Trust and any foreclosure.
1.15 Beneficiary's Cure of Trustor's Default. If Trustor defaults hereunder in the payment of any tax, assessment, lien, encumbrance or other Imposition, in its obligation to furnish insurance hereunder, or in the performance or observance of any other covenant, condition or term of this Deed of Trust or
17
any other Financing Agreement or any FF&E Financing Agreement, Beneficiary may, but is not obligated to, to preserve its interest in the Trust Estate, perform or observe the same, and all payments made (whether such payments are regular or accelerated payments) and reasonable costs and expenses incurred or paid by Beneficiary in connection therewith shall become due and payable immediately. The amounts so incurred or paid by Beneficiary, together with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture, from the date incurred until paid by Trustor, shall be added to the indebtedness and secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary, is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Site or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted covenant, condition or term, without thereby becoming liable to Trustor or any person in possession holding under Trustor. No exercise of any rights under this Section 1.15 by Beneficiary shall cure or waive any Event of Default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant hereto or to any such notice, but shall be cumulative of all other rights and remedies.
1.16 Use of Land. Trustor covenants that the Trust Estate shall be used and operated in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Indenture Documents.
1.17 Compliance with Permitted Lien Agreements. Trustor shall comply with each and every material obligation contained in any agreement pertaining to a Permitted Lien.
1.18 Defense of Actions. Trustor shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding affecting or purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee, and shall pay all costs and expenses, including cost of title search and insurance or other evidence of title, preparation of survey, and reasonable attorneys' fees in any such action or proceeding in which Beneficiary or Trustee may appear or may be joined as a party and in any suit brought by Beneficiary based upon or in connection with this Deed of Trust, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document to which Trustor is a party. Nothing contained in this section shall, however, limit the right of Beneficiary to appear in such action or proceeding with counsel of its own choice, either on its own behalf or on behalf of Trustor.
1.19 Affiliates.
(a) Subject to Trust Deed. Subject to compliance with the requirements of applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, Trustor shall cause all of its Affiliates in any way involved with the operation of the Trust Estate or the Project to observe the covenants and conditions of this Deed of Trust to the extent necessary to give the full intended effect to such covenants and conditions and to protect and preserve the security of Beneficiary hereunder. Trustor shall, at Beneficiary's request, cause any such Affiliate to execute and deliver to Beneficiary or Trustee such further instruments or documents as Beneficiary may reasonably deem necessary to effectuate the terms of this Section 1.19.
(b) Restriction on Use of Subsidiary or Affiliate. Except as permitted under the Notes, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or the other Indenture Documents, Trustor shall not use any Affiliate in the operation of the Trust Estate or the Project if such use would in any way impair the security for the Obligations or circumvent any covenant or condition of this Deed of Trust, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or of any other Indenture Document.
1.20 Title Insurance. Promptly after the execution of this Deed of Trust, Trustor shall cause to be delivered to Trustee at Trustor's expense, one or more ALTA extended coverage Lender's Policies of Title Insurance showing fee title to the real property situated in the County of Clark, State of Nevada, more specifically described in Schedule A attached hereto, vested in Trustor and the lien of this Deed of Trust to be a perfected lien, prior to any and all encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances (excluding, however, any such non-Permitted Encumbrances for which the Title Insurer has agreed to
18
provide an endorsement or affirmative coverage protecting the lien of this Deed of Trust against such non-Permitted Encumbrances).
ARTICLE TWO
MORTGAGE NOTES INDENTURE PROVISIONS
2.1 Interaction with Mortgage Notes Indenture
(a) Incorporation by Reference. All terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and requirements of the Mortgage Notes Indenture are incorporated by reference in this Deed of Trust.
(b) Conflicts. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Deed of Trust and those of the Mortgage Notes Indenture or the Disbursement Agreement, the provisions of the Mortgage Notes Indenture or the Disbursement Agreement, as applicable, shall govern.
2.2 Other Collateral. This Deed of Trust is one of a number of security agreements delivered by or on behalf of Trustor and other Persons pursuant to the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the other Indenture Documents and securing the Obligations secured hereunder. All potential junior Lien claimants are placed on notice that, under any of the Indenture Documents (including a separate future unrecorded agreement between Trustor and Beneficiary), other collateral for the Obligations secured hereunder (i.e., collateral other than the Trust Estate) may, under certain circumstances, be released without a corresponding reduction in the total principal amount secured by this Deed of Trust. Such a release would decrease the amount of collateral securing the same indebtedness, thereby increasing the burden on the remaining Trust Estate created and continued by this Deed of Trust. No such release shall impair the priority of the lien of this Deed of Trust. By accepting its interest in the Trust Estate, each and every junior Lien claimant shall be deemed to have acknowledged the possibility of, and consented to, any such release. Nothing in this paragraph shall impose any obligation upon Beneficiary.
2.3 Subordination to Bank Deed of Trust.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, the security interest granted herein, the rights, power and remedies of the Trustee and the Beneficiary and the obligations of Trustor set forth herein, shall, to the extent provided in the Project Lenders Intercreditor Agreement, be subject and subordinate to the Bank Palo Deed of Trust.
19
3.1 Event of Default. The term "Event of Default," wherever used in this Deed of Trust, shall mean any of (i) one or more of the events of default listed in the Mortgage Notes Indenture or (ii) so long as the Disbursement Agreement is in effect, one or more of the events of default listed in the Disbursement Agreement (whether any such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or come about or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to or in compliance with any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body).
ARTICLE FOUR
REMEDIES
4.1 Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary may (except that such acceleration shall be automatic if the Event of Default is caused by any Issuer's or Trustor's Bankruptcy), in accordance with the Indenture Documents, declare the Obligations to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration such principal and interest and other sums shall immediately become due and payable without demand, presentment, notice or other requirements of any kind (all of which Trustor waives) notwithstanding anything in this Deed of Trust or any Indenture Document or applicable law to the contrary.
4.2 Protective Advances. If any Issuer or Trustor fails to make any payment or perform any other obligation under the Notes, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Financing Agreement, then without thereby limiting Beneficiary's other rights or remedies, waiving or releasing any of Trustor's obligations, or imposing any obligation on Beneficiary, Beneficiary may either advance any amount owing or perform any or all actions that Beneficiary considers necessary or appropriate to cure such default. All such advances shall constitute "Protective Advances." No sums advanced or performance rendered by Beneficiary shall cure, or be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default.
4.3 Institution of Equity Proceedings. If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary may institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for specific performance of this Deed of Trust, the Notes, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document, all of which shall be specifically enforceable by injunction or other equitable remedy. Trustor waives any defense based on laches or any applicable statute of limitations.
4.4 Beneficiary's Power of Enforcement.
(a) If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary shall be entitled, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, to prepare and record on its own behalf, or to deliver to Trustee for recording, if appropriate, written declaration of default and demand for sale and written Notice of Breach and Election to Sell (NRS 107.080(3)) (or other statutory notice) to cause the Trust Estate to be sold to satisfy the obligations hereof, and in the case of delivery to Trustee, Trustee shall cause said notice to be filed for record.
(b) After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said Notice of Breach and Election to Sell, and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, including compliance with all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, Trustee without demand on Trustor, shall sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof at the time and place fixed by it in said notice, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest bidder, of cash in lawful money of the United States payable at the time of sale. Trustee may, for any cause it deems expedient, postpone the sale of all or any portion of said property until it shall be completed and, in every case, notice of postponement shall be given by public announcement thereof at the time and place last appointed for the sale and from time to time thereafter Trustee may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement. Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser its Deed, Bill of Sale,
20
or other instrument conveying said property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recitals in such instrument of conveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person, including Beneficiary, may bid at the sale.
(c) After deducting all costs, fees and expenses of Trustee and of this Deed of Trust, including, without limitation, costs of evidence of title and reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses of Trustee or Beneficiary in connection with a sale, Trustee shall apply the proceeds of such sale to payment of all sums expended under the terms hereof not then repaid, with accrued interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture to the payment of all other sums then secured hereby and the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto as provided in NRS 40.462.
(d) Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, if any Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary may, either with or without entry or taking possession of the Trust Estate, and without regard to whether or not the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby shall be due and without prejudice to the right of Beneficiary thereafter to bring an action or proceeding to foreclose or any other action for any default existing at the time such earlier action was commenced, proceed by any appropriate action or proceeding: (1) to enforce payment of the Obligations, to the extent permitted by law, or the performance of any term hereof or any other right; (2) to foreclose this Deed of Trust in any manner provided by law for the foreclosure of mortgages or deeds of trust on real property and to sell, as an entirety or in separate lots or parcels, the Trust Estate or any portion thereof pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada or under the judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, and Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in any such proceeding all costs and expenses incident thereto, including reasonable attorneys' fees in such amount as shall be awarded by the court; (3) to exercise any or all of the rights and remedies available to it under the Indenture Documents; and (4) to pursue any other remedy available to it. Beneficiary shall take action either by such proceedings or by the exercise of its powers with respect to entry or taking possession, or both, as Beneficiary may determine.
(e) The remedies described in this Section 4.4 may be exercised with respect to all or any portion of the Personal Property, either simultaneously with the sale of any real property encumbered hereby or independent thereof. Beneficiary shall at any time be permitted to proceed with respect to all or any portion of the Personal Property in any manner permitted by the UCC. Trustor agrees that Beneficiary's inclusion of all or any portion of the Personal Property (and all personal property that is subject to a security interest in favor, or for the benefit, of Beneficiary) in a sale or other remedy exercised with respect to the real property encumbered hereby, as permitted by the UCC, is a commercially reasonable disposition of such property.
4.5 Beneficiary's Right to Enter and Take Possession, Operate and Apply Income.
(a) Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, if an Event of Default occurs, (i) Trustor, upon demand of Beneficiary, shall forthwith surrender to Beneficiary the actual possession and, if and to the extent permitted by law, Beneficiary itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all the Trust Estate including the Personal Property, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise, and may exclude Trustor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom and may have joint access with Trustor to the books, papers and accounts of Trustor; and (ii) Trustor shall pay monthly in advance to Beneficiary on Beneficiary's entry into possession, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, all Rents then due and payable.
(b) If Trustor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Trust Estate, the Personal Property or any part thereof after Beneficiary's demand, Beneficiary may obtain a judgment or decree conferring on Beneficiary or Trustee the right to immediate possession or requiring Trustor
21
to deliver immediate possession of all or part of such property to Beneficiary or Trustee and Trustor hereby specifically consents to the entry of such judgment or decree. Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary or Trustee, upon demand, all reasonable costs and expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree and reasonable compensation to Beneficiary or Trustee, their attorneys and agents, and all such costs, expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Deed of Trust.
(c) Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Beneficiary or Trustee may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Trust Estate and conduct the business thereof, and, from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion and without being under any duty to so act:
(1) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property;
(2) insure or keep the Trust Estate insured;
(3) manage and operate the Trust Estate and exercise all the rights and powers of Trustor in their name or otherwise with respect to the same;
(4) enter into agreements with others to exercise the powers herein granted Beneficiary or Trustee, all as Beneficiary or Trustee from time to time may determine; and, subject to the absolute assignment of the Leases and Rents to Beneficiary, Beneficiary or Trustee may collect and receive all the Rents, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter; and shall apply the monies so received by Beneficiary or Trustee in such priority as Beneficiary may determine to (1) the payment of interest and principal due and payable on the Notes or the other Indenture Documents, (2) the deposits for taxes and assessments and insurance premiums due, (3) the cost of insurance, taxes, assessments and other proper charges upon the Trust Estate or any part thereof; (4) the compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, attorneys and other representatives of Beneficiary or Trustee; and (5) any other charges or costs required to be paid by Trustor under the terms hereof; and
(5) rent or sublet the Trust Estate or any portion thereof for any purpose permitted by this Deed of Trust.
Beneficiary or Trustee shall surrender possession of the Trust Estate and the Personal Property to Trustor only when all that is due upon such interest and principal, tax and insurance deposits, and all amounts under any of the terms of the Mortgage Notes Indenture or this Deed of Trust, shall have been paid and all defaults made good. The same right of taking possession, however, shall exist if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.
4.6 Leases. Beneficiary is authorized to foreclose this Deed of Trust subject to the rights of any tenants of the Trust Estate, and the failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights shall not be, nor be asserted by Trustor to be, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Beneficiary to collect the sums secured hereby or to collect any deficiency remaining unpaid after the foreclosure sale of the Trust Estate, or any portion thereof. Unless otherwise agreed by Beneficiary in writing, all Space Leases executed subsequent to the date hereof, or any part thereof, shall be subordinate and inferior to the lien of this Deed of Trust; provided, however that (i) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture Documents, Beneficiary may be required to execute a non-disturbance and attornment agreement in connection with certain Space Leases; and (ii) from time to time Beneficiary may execute and record among the land records of the jurisdiction where this Deed of Trust is recorded, subordination statements with respect to such of said Space Leases as Beneficiary may designate in its sole discretion, whereby the Space Leases so designated by Beneficiary shall be made superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust for the term set forth
22
in such subordination statement. From and after the recordation of such subordination statements, and for the respective periods as may be set forth therein, the Space Leases therein referred to shall be superior to the lien of this Deed of Trust and shall not be affected by any foreclosure hereof. All such Space Leases shall contain a provision to the effect that the Trustor and Space Lessee recognize the right of Beneficiary to elect and to effect such subordination of this Deed of Trust and consents thereto.
4.7 Purchase by Beneficiary. Upon any foreclosure sale (whether judicial or nonjudicial), Beneficiary may bid for and purchase the property subject to such sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability.
4.8 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws. Trustor agrees to the full extent permitted by law that if an Event of Default occurs, neither Trustor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or the absolute sale of the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and Trustor for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprising the Trust Estate marshalled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that Trustee or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Trust Estate in part or as an entirety.
4.9 Receiver. If an Event of Default occurs, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law and subject to compliance with all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, and without regard to the value, adequacy or occupancy of the security for the indebtedness and other sums secured hereby, shall be entitled as a matter of right if it so elects to the appointment of a receiver to enter upon and take possession of the Trust Estate and to collect all Rents and apply the same as the court may direct, and such receiver may be appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction upon application by Beneficiary. Beneficiary may have a receiver appointed without notice to Trustor or any third party, and Beneficiary may waive any requirement that the receiver post a bond. Beneficiary shall have the power to designate and select the Person who shall serve as the receiver and to negotiate all terms and conditions under which such receiver shall serve. Any receiver appointed on Beneficiary's behalf may be an Affiliate of Beneficiary. The expenses, including receiver's fees, attorneys' fees, costs and agent's compensation, incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. The right to enter and take possession of and to manage and operate the Trust Estate and to collect all Rents, whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy available to Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or the other Indenture Documents or otherwise available to Beneficiary and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Beneficiary shall be liable to account only for such Rents (including, without limitation, security deposits) actually received by Beneficiary, whether received pursuant to this section or any other provision hereof. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver or other custodian, Beneficiary shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits, or instruments at the time held by, or payable or deliverable under the terms of this Deed of Trust to, Beneficiary.
4.10 Suits to Protect the Trust Estate. Beneficiary shall have the power and authority to institute and maintain any suits and proceedings as Beneficiary, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem advisable (a) to prevent any impairment of the Trust Estate by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Deed of Trust, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Trust Estate, or (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other Legal Requirement that may be
23
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order might impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to Beneficiary's interest.
4.11 Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, Insolvency, Bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceedings affecting Trustor, or, to the extent the same would result in an Event of Default hereunder, any Subsidiary, or any guarantor, co-maker or endorser of any of Trustor's obligations, its creditors or its property, Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim or other documents as it may deem to be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Trustor under the Indenture Documents, at the date of the institution of such proceedings, and for any additional amounts which may become due and payable by Trustor after such date.
4.12 Trustor to Pay the Obligations on Any Default in Payment; Application of Monies by Beneficiary.
(a) In case of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Trust Estate and of the application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the sums secured hereby, Beneficiary shall be entitled to enforce payment from Trustor of any additional amounts then remaining due and unpaid with respect to the Obligations and to recover judgment against Trustor for any portion thereof remaining unpaid, with interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal as set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture.
(b) Trustor hereby agrees to the extent permitted by law, that no recovery of any such judgment by Beneficiary or other action by Beneficiary and no attachment or levy of any execution upon any of the Trust Estate or any other property shall in any way affect the Lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust upon the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any Lien, rights, powers or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such Lien, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.
(c) Any monies collected or received by Beneficiary under this Section 4.12 shall be first applied to the payment of reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the agents, attorneys and other representatives of Beneficiary, and the balance remaining shall be applied to the Obligations.
(d) The provisions of this section shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise modify the provisions of any guaranty of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or the other Indenture Documents.
4.13 Delay or Omission; No Waiver. No delay or omission of Beneficiary or any Second Mortgage Note Holder to exercise any right, power or remedy upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to waive any such Event of Default or to constitute acquiescence therein. Every right, power and remedy given to Beneficiary whether contained herein or in the other Indenture Documents or otherwise available to Beneficiary may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Beneficiary.
4.14 No Waiver of One Default to Affect Another. No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder shall extend to or affect any subsequent or any other Event of Default then existing, or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent thereon. If Beneficiary or the required percentage of the Second Mortgage Note Holders (as determined pursuant to the Mortgage Notes Indenture), to the extent applicable under the Mortgage Notes Indenture, (a) grants forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (b) takes other or additional security for the payment thereof; (c) waives or does not exercise any right granted in the Notes, the Mortgage Notes Indenture, this Deed of Trust, the Disbursement Agreement or any other Indenture Document; (d) releases any part of the Trust Estate from the lien or security interest of this Deed of Trust or any other instrument securing the Obligations; (e) consents to the filing of any map, plat or replat of the Site (to the extent
24
such consent is required); (f) consents to the granting of any easement on the Site (to the extent such consent is required); or (g) makes or consents to any agreement changing the terms of this Deed of Trust or any other Indenture Document subordinating the lien or any charge hereof, no such act or omission shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Trustor under the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document or otherwise, or any subsequent purchaser of the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any maker, co-signer, surety or guarantor. No such act or omission shall preclude Beneficiary from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in case of any Event of Default then existing or of any subsequent Event of Default, nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Beneficiary, shall the lien or security interest of this Deed of Trust be altered thereby, except to the extent expressly provided in any releases, maps, easements or subordinations described in clause (d), (e), (f) or (g) above of this Section 4.14. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Trust Estate, Beneficiary, without notice to any person, firm or corporation, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Trust Estate or the indebtedness secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms or conditions hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any of the liabilities or undertakings hereunder, or waiving its right to declare such sale or transfer an Event of Default as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed of Trust or any other Indenture Document, (i) in the case of any non-monetary Event of Default, Beneficiary may continue to accept payments secured hereunder without thereby waiving the existence of such or any other Event of Default and (ii) in the case of any monetary Event of Default, Beneficiary may accept partial payments of any sums secured hereunder without thereby waiving the existence of such Event of Default if the partial payment is not sufficient to completely cure such Event of Default.
4.15 Discontinuance of Proceedings; Position of Parties Restored. If Beneficiary shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Deed of Trust by foreclosure, entry of judgment or otherwise and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or such proceedings shall have resulted in a final determination adverse to Beneficiary, then and in every such case Trustor and Beneficiary shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Beneficiary shall continue as if no such proceedings had occurred or had been taken.
4.16 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy, including without limitation remedies with respect to any security for Obligations, conferred upon or reserved to Beneficiary by this Deed of Trust or any other Indenture Document is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or any other Indenture Document, now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and Beneficiary shall be entitled to resort to such rights, powers, remedies or security as Beneficiary shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem advisable.
4.17 Interest After Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, all sums outstanding and unpaid under the Obligations shall, at Beneficiary's option, bear interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture until such Event of Default has been cured. Trustor's obligation to pay such interest shall be secured by this Deed of Trust.
4.18 Foreclosure; Expenses of Litigation. If Trustee forecloses, reasonable attorneys' fees for services in the supervision of said foreclosure proceeding shall be allowed to the Trustee and Beneficiary as part of the foreclosure costs. In the event of foreclosure of the lien hereof, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness all reasonable expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of Beneficiary for attorneys' fees, appraiser's fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers' charges, publication costs, and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after foreclosure sale or entry of the decree) of procuring all such
25
abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies and guarantees, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as Beneficiary may deem reasonably advisable either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to a bidder at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or the value of the Trust Estate or any portion thereof. All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this section mentioned, and such expenses and fees as may be incurred in the protection of the Trust Estate and the maintenance of the lien and security interest of this Deed of Trust, including the fees of any attorney employed by Beneficiary in any litigation or proceeding affecting this Deed of Trust, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or any other Indenture Document, the Trust Estate or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, civil, probate, appellate and bankruptcy proceedings, or in preparation for the commencement or defense of any proceeding or threatened suit or proceeding, shall be immediately due and payable by Trustor, with interest thereon at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture, and shall be secured by this Deed of Trust. Trustee waives its right to any statutory fee in connection with any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees to accept a reasonable fee for such services.
4.19 Deficiency Judgments. If after foreclosure of this Deed of Trust or Trustee's sale hereunder, there shall remain any deficiency with respect to any Obligations, and Beneficiary shall institute any proceedings to recover such deficiency or deficiencies, all such amounts shall continue to bear interest at the rate applicable to overdue principal set forth in the Mortgage Notes Indenture. Trustor waives any defense to Beneficiary's recovery against Trustor of any deficiency after any foreclosure sale of the Trust Estate. Trustor expressly waives any defense or benefits that may be derived from any statute granting Trustor any defense to any such recovery by Beneficiary. In addition, Beneficiary and Trustee shall be entitled to recovery of all of their reasonable costs and expenditures (including without limitation any court imposed costs) in connection with such proceedings, including their reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisal fees and the other costs, fees and expenditures referred to in Section 4.18 above. This provision shall survive any foreclosure or sale of the Trust Estate, any portion thereof and/or the extinguishment of the lien hereof.
4.20 Waiver of Jury Trial. Beneficiary and Trustor each waive any right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise arising out of, connected with, related to or incidental to the relationship established between them in connection with the Obligations. Any such disputes shall be resolved in a bench trial without a jury.
4.21 Exculpation of Beneficiary. The acceptance by Beneficiary of the assignment contained herein with all of the rights, powers, privileges and authority created hereby shall not, prior to entry upon and taking possession of the Trust Estate by Beneficiary, be deemed or construed to make Beneficiary a "mortgagee in possession"; nor thereafter or at any time or in any event obligate Beneficiary to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Space Leases, the Rents or the Trust Estate, or to take any action hereunder or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Space Lease or to assume any obligation or responsibility for any security deposits or other deposits except to the extent such deposits are actually received by Beneficiary, nor shall Beneficiary, prior to such entry and taking, be liable in any way for any injury or damage to person or property sustained by any Person in or about the Trust Estate.
ARTICLE FIVE
RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE;
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRUSTEE
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deed of Trust, Trustor and Beneficiary agree as follows.
26
5.1 Exercise of Remedies by Trustee. To the extent that this Deed of Trust or applicable law, including all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, authorizes or empowers, or does not require approval for, Beneficiary to exercise any remedies set forth in Article Four hereof or otherwise, or perform any acts in connection therewith, Trustee (but not to the exclusion of Beneficiary unless so required under the law of the State of Nevada) shall have the power to exercise any or all such remedies, and to perform any acts provided for in this Deed of Trust in connection therewith, all for the benefit of Beneficiary and on Beneficiary's behalf in accordance with applicable law of the State of Nevada. In connection therewith, Trustee: (a) shall not exercise, or waive the exercise of, any of Beneficiary's remedies (other than any rights of Trustee to any indemnity or reimbursement), except at Beneficiary's request, and (b) shall exercise, or waive the exercise of, any or all of Beneficiary's remedies at Beneficiary's request, and in accordance with Beneficiary's directions as to the manner of such exercise or waiver. Trustee may, however, decline to follow Beneficiary's request or direction if Trustee shall be advised by counsel that the action or proceeding, or manner thereof, so directed may not lawfully be taken or waived.
5.2 Rights and Privileges of Trustee. To the extent that this Deed of Trust requires Trustor to indemnify Beneficiary or reimburse Beneficiary for any expenditures Beneficiary may incur, Trustee shall be entitled to the same indemnity and the same rights to reimbursement of expenses as Beneficiary, subject to such limitations and conditions as would apply in the case of Beneficiary. To the extent that this Deed of Trust negates or limits Beneficiary's liability as to any matter, Trustee shall be entitled to the same negation or limitation of liability. To the extent that Trustor, pursuant to this Deed of Trust, appoints Beneficiary as Trustor's attorney in fact for any purpose, Beneficiary or (when so instructed by Beneficiary) Trustee shall be entitled to act on Trustor's behalf without joinder or confirmation by the other.
5.3 Resignation or Replacement of Trustee. Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to Beneficiary, and Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause (i.e., in Beneficiary's sole and absolute discretion) by an instrument in writing executed by Beneficiary. In case of the death, resignation, removal or disqualification of Trustee or if for any reason Beneficiary shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute, successor or replacement Trustee to act instead of Trustee originally named (or in place of any substitute, successor or replacement Trustee), then Beneficiary shall have the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, without any formality other than appointment and designation in writing executed by Beneficiary, which instrument shall be recorded if required by the law of the State of Nevada. The law of the State of Nevada (including, without limitation, the Nevada Gaming Laws) shall govern the qualifications of any Trustee. The authority conferred upon Trustee by this Deed of Trust shall automatically extend to any and all other successor, substitute and replacement Trustee(s) successively until the obligations secured hereunder have been paid in full or the Trust Estate has been sold hereunder or released in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the other Indenture Documents. Beneficiary's written appointment and designation of any Trustee shall be full evidence of Beneficiary's right and authority to make the same and of all facts therein recited. No confirmation, authorization, approval or other action by Trustor shall be required in connection with any resignation or other replacement of Trustee.
5.4 Authority of Beneficiary. If Beneficiary is a banking corporation, state banking corporation or a national banking association and the instrument of appointment of any successor or replacement Trustee is executed on Beneficiary's behalf by an officer of such corporation, state banking corporation or national banking association, then such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of Beneficiary.
5.5 Effect of Appointment of Successor Trustee. Upon the appointment and designation of any successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, and subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming
27
Laws and other applicable laws, Trustee's entire estate and title in the Trust Estate shall vest in the designated successor, substitute or replacement Trustee. Such successor, substitute or replacement Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and shall hold, possess and execute all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee. All references herein to Trustee shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including any successor or substitute appointed and designated as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder.
5.6 Confirmation of Transfer and Succession. Upon the written request of Beneficiary or of any successor, substitute or replacement Trustee, any former Trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor, substitute or replacement Trustee all of the right, title, estate and interest in the Trust Estate of Trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all properties and moneys held by said Trustee hereunder to said successor, substitute or replacement Trustee.
5.7 Exculpation. Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or otherwise be responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee's gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of law. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by it hereunder, believed by it in good faith to be genuine. All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law). Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder.
5.8 Endorsement and Execution of Documents. Upon Beneficiary's written request, Trustee shall, without liability or notice to Trustor, execute, consent to, or join in any instrument or agreement in connection with or necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Mortgage Notes Indenture and the other Indenture Documents. Trustor hereby irrevocably designates Trustee as its attorney in fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver, on Trustor's behalf and in Trustor's name, all instruments or agreements necessary to implement any provision(s) of this Deed of Trust or to further perfect the lien created by this Deed of Trust on the Trust Estate. This power of attorney shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall survive any disability of Trustor.
5.9 Multiple Trustees. If Beneficiary appoints multiple trustees, then any Trustee, individually, may exercise all powers granted to Trustee under this instrument, without the need for action by any other Trustee(s).
5.10 Terms of Trustee's Acceptance. Trustee accepts the trust created by this Deed of Trust upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Delegation. Trustee may exercise any of its powers through appointment of attorney(s) in fact or agents.
(b) Counsel. Trustee may select and employ legal counsel (including any law firm representing Beneficiary). Trustor shall reimburse all reasonable legal fees and expenses that Trustee may thereby incur.
(c) Security. Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any action upon any Event of Default unless furnished security or indemnity, in form satisfactory to Trustee, against costs, expenses, and liabilities that Trustee may incur.
(d) Costs and Expenses. Trustor shall reimburse Trustee, as part of the Obligations secured hereunder, for all reasonable disbursements and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by reason of and as provided for in this Deed of Trust, including any of the foregoing incurred in Trustee's administering and executing the trust created by this Deed of Trust, in complying with all applicable Nevada Gaming Laws and performing Trustee's duties and exercising Trustee's powers under this Deed of Trust.
(e) Release. Upon full and indefeasible payment and performance of the Obligations secured hereunder, Beneficiary shall request that Trustee release this Deed of Trust. Upon receipt of such request Trustee shall release this Deed of Trust to Trustor. Trustor shall pay all costs of recordation, if any.

The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as "the person or persons legally entitled thereto."
6.12 Attorneys' Fees. Without limiting any other provision contained herein, Trustor agrees to pay all costs of Beneficiary or Trustee incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Deed of Trust, the Mortgage Notes Indenture or the other Indenture Documents to which it is a party, including without limitation all reasonable attorneys' fees whether or not suit is commenced, and including, without limitation, fees incurred in connection with any probate, appellate, bankruptcy, deficiency or any other litigation proceedings, all of which sums shall be secured hereby.
6.13 Late Charges. By accepting payment of any sum secured hereby after its due date, Beneficiary does not waive its right to collect any late charge thereon or interest thereon at the interest rate on the Notes or as otherwise specified in the Mortgage Notes Indenture, if so provided, not then paid or its right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare default for failure to pay any amounts not so paid.
6.14 Cost of Accounting. Trustor shall pay to Beneficiary, for and on account of the preparation and rendition of any accounting, which Trustor may be entitled to require under any law or statute now or hereafter providing therefor, the reasonable costs thereof.

6.16 Corrections. Trustor shall, upon request of Beneficiary or Trustee, promptly correct any defect, error or omission which may be discovered in the contents of this Deed of Trust (including, but not limited to, in the exhibits and schedules attached hereto) or in the execution or acknowledgement hereof, and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested by Trustee to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Deed of Trust, to subject to the lien and security interest hereby created any of Trustor's properties, rights or interest covered or intended to be covered hereby, and to perfect and maintain such lien and security interest.
6.17 Statute of Limitations. To the fullest extent allowed by the law, the right to plead, use or assert any statute of limitations as a plea or defense or bar of any kind, or for any purpose, to any debt, demand or obligation secured or to be secured hereby, or to any complaint or other pleading or proceeding filed, instituted or maintained for the purpose of enforcing this Deed of Trust or any rights hereunder, is hereby waived by Trustor.
31
6.18 Subrogation. Should the proceeds of any Note or advance made by Beneficiary or any Second Mortgage Note Holder under the Mortgage Notes Indenture, repayment of which is hereby secured, or any part thereof, or any amount paid out or advanced by Beneficiary or any Second Mortgage Note Holder under the Mortgage Notes Indenture, be used directly or indirectly to pay off, discharge, or satisfy, in whole or in part, any prior or superior lien or encumbrance upon the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, then, as additional security hereunder, Trustee, on behalf of Beneficiary, shall be subrogated to any and all rights, superior titles, liens, and equities owned or claimed by any owner or holder of said outstanding liens, charges, and indebtedness, however remote, regardless of whether said liens, charges, and indebtedness are acquired by assignment or have been released of record by the holder thereof upon payment.
6.19 Joint and Several Liability. All obligations of Trustor hereunder, if more than one, are joint and several. Recourse for deficiency after sale hereunder may be had against the property of Trustor, without, however, creating a present or other lien or charge thereon.

6.21 Context. In this Deed of Trust, whenever the context so requires, the neuter includes the masculine and feminine, and the singular including the plural, and vice versa.
6.22 Time. Time is of the essence of each and every term, covenant and condition hereof. Unless otherwise specified herein, any reference to "days" in this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to mean "calendar days."
6.23 Interpretation. As used in this Deed of Trust unless the context clearly requires otherwise: The terms "herein" or "hereunder" and similar terms without reference to a particular section shall refer to the entire Deed of Trust and not just to the section in which such terms appear; the term "lien" shall also mean a security interest, and the term "security interest" shall also mean a lien.
6.24 Effect of NRS 107.030. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the provisions of NRS 107.030 (1), (2) (in amounts as hereinafter provided for), (3), (4) (with interest at the default rate provided for under the Mortgage Notes Indenture), (5), (6), (7) (reasonable), (8) and (9) are included herein by reference and made part of this Deed of Trust.
6.25 Amendments. This Deed of Trust cannot be waived, changed, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, discharge or termination is sought and only as permitted by the provisions of the Mortgage Notes Indenture.
6.26 No Conflicts. In the event that any of the provisions contained here conflict with the Mortgage Notes Indenture, the provisions contained in the Mortgage Notes Indenture shall prevail.

All rights of Beneficiary and all obligations of Trustor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the Mortgage Notes Indenture, any Note, or any other Indenture Document, (ii) the failure of any Second Mortgage Note Holder or any holder of any of the Obligations to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuers, Trustor or any other Person (including any other guarantor of the Obligations) under the provisions of the Mortgage Notes Indenture, any Note, any other Indenture Document or otherwise or to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any of the Obligations, (iii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all of the Obligations, or any other extension or renewal of any Obligation, (iv) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any of the Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to, and Trustor hereby waives any right to or claim of, any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligation, (v) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the Mortgage Notes Indenture, any Note or any other Indenture Document, (vi) any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, realization upon or other manner or order of dealing with any property by whomsoever pledged or mortgaged to secure or howsoever securing the Obligations or any liabilities or obligations (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof and/or any offset there against, (vii) the application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligations and liabilities of the Issuers or any other Person to the Second Mortgage Note Holders under the Indenture Documents in the manner provided therein regardless of what obligations and liabilities remain unpaid, (viii) any action or failure to act in any manner referred to in this Deed of Trust which may deprive Trustor of its right to subrogation against the Issuers or any other Person to recover full indemnity for any payments or performances made pursuant to this Deed of Trust or of its right of contribution against any other
33
party and (ix) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Issuers, any other Person, Trustor, any surety or any guarantor.
8.2 Waiver. Trustor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including (i) any right to require Beneficiary or any other Second Mortgage Note Holder to proceed against the Issuers or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Beneficiary or any other Second Mortgage Note Holder at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Beneficiary's or any other Second Mortgage Note Holder's power before proceeding against Trustor, (ii) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of power or authority, death, dissolution, merger, termination or disability of the Issuers or any other Person or the failure of Beneficiary or any other Second Mortgage Note Holder to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of the Issuers or any other Person, (iii) demand, presentment, protest and notice of any kind except as provided herein, including notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of the Issuers, Beneficiary, any other Second Mortgage Note Holder, any endorser or creditor of the Issuers, Trustor or on the part of any other Person under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Beneficiary or any other Second Mortgage Note Holder as collateral or in connection with any Obligation, (iv) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Beneficiary or any other Second Mortgage Note Holder, including an election to proceed by non-judicial rather than judicial foreclosure, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Trustor, the right of Trustor to proceed against the Issuers or any other Person for reimbursement, or both, (v) any defense based on any offset against any amounts which may be owed by any Person to Trustor for any reason whatsoever, (vi) any defense based on any act, failure to act, delay or omission whatsoever on the part of the Issuers or any other Person of the failure by the Issuers or any other Person to do any act or thing or to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement to be observed or performed by it under the Indenture Documents, (vii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal, provided, that, upon payment or performance in full of the Obligations, this Deed of Trust shall no longer be of any force or effect, (viii) any defense, setoff or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or asserted by the Issuers or any other Person against Beneficiary, any other Second Mortgage Note Holder or any other Person under the Indenture Documents, (ix) any duty on the part of Beneficiary or any other Second Mortgage Note Holder to disclose to Trustor any facts Beneficiary or any other Second Mortgage Note Holder may now or hereafter know about the Issuers or any other Person, regardless of whether Beneficiary or such Second Mortgage Note Holder have reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Trustor intends to assume, or have reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Trustor, or have a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Trustor, since Trustor acknowledges that Trustor is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Issuers and any other Person liable for the Obligations and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment or non-performance of any obligations and liabilities hereby guaranteed, (x) the fact that Trustor may at any time in the future dispose of all or part of its direct or indirect interest in the Issuers or any other Person or otherwise cease to be an Affiliate of the Issuers or any other Person, as the case may be, (xi) any defense based on any change in the time, manner or place of any payment or performance under, or in any other term of, the Indenture Documents or any other amendment, renewal, extension, acceleration, compromise or waiver of or any consent or departure from the terms of the Indenture Documents, (xii) any defense arising because of Beneficiary's or any other Second Mortgage Note Holder's election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (xiii) any defense based upon any borrowing or grant
34
of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the fullest extent permitted by NRS 40.485 (1) and (2), the provisions of NRS 40.430 are waived.
8.3 Net Worth Limitation. If, notwithstanding the representation and warranty set forth in Section 1.2(b) hereof or anything to the contrary herein, enforcement of the liability of Trustor under this Deed of Trust for the full amount of the Obligations would be an unlawful or voidable transfer under any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or any comparable law, then the liability of Trustor hereunder shall be reduced to the highest amount for which such liability may then be enforced without giving rise to an unlawful or voidable transfer under any such law.

(d) Each preliminary Advance Request delivered by the Company pursuant to subsection (a) above shall request Advances in order to (i) until the Completion Date, pay interest and fees under the Bank Credit Agreement, the Second Mortgage Notes, and the FF&E Facility which will become due and payable on or after the requested Advance Date and prior to the next succeeding Advance Date, and/or (ii) pay other Project Costs estimated to become due and payable on or prior to the requested Advance Date (with respect to the initial Advance Request to be delivered hereunder, the Company shall request $38,500,000 be advanced under the FF&E Facility to refinance indebtedness incurred to fund the purchase of the Aircraft), and/or (iii) issue a Letter of Credit under the Bank Credit Facility, and/or (iv) replenish funds, or increase funds on deposit, in the Soft Costs Cash Management Sub-Account or the Hard Costs Cash Management Sub-Account (or, with respect to the initial Advance Request to be delivered hereunder, the Company shall request that $3,000,000 be deposited in the Soft Costs Cash Management Sub-Account and $1,000,000 be deposited in the Hard Costs Cash Management Sub-Account). The Company shall not be permitted to obtain Advances for the purpose of paying Debt Service at any time after the Completion Date. Each such preliminary Advance Request shall include an estimated cash flow for the requested Advance broken down by Contractor and Line Item and shall certify as to various matters including, without limitation, (1) funding sequence, (2) accuracy of the Project Budget, (3) Line Item allocations, (4) application of proceeds, (5) with respect to the Advance that will Exhaust the amounts on deposit in the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account, Appendix XI to the Advance Request indicating the items of Eligible FF&E Equipment in respect of which any Advances will have been made from the Company's Funds Account or the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account and which the Company would like to designate as FF&E Component and cover with the FF&E Reimbursement Advance and also indicating value thereof (segregated between amounts associated with "Gaming Equipment," "Non-Gaming Equipment" and "Transaction Costs," each as defined in the FF&E Facility Agreement) and (6) with respect to each Advance after Exhaustion of the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds, Appendix XI to the Advance Request indicating the items of Eligible FF&E Equipment that the Company would like to designate as FF&E Component and for which an Advance is requested under the FF&E Facility in such Advance Request. Promptly after delivery of each preliminary Advance Request, the Disbursement Agent and the Construction Consultant shall review such Advance Request and attachments thereto to determine whether all required documentation has been provided, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company of any deficiency within three (3) Banking Days after delivery thereof by the Company, it being acknowledged that any failure to notify the Company of any deficiency in the Advance Request so delivered within the aforesaid time period shall in no event be deemed an approval thereof. The Construction Consultant also shall review the work referenced in such preliminary Advance Request, including work estimated to be completed through the applicable Advance Date as such work is being performed.
(e) The FF&E Agent shall have the right to disapprove any items of Eligible FF&E Collateral listed by the Company in Appendix XI to the Company's preliminary Advance Request as items to be funded in part by the FF&E Facility pursuant to the FF&E Reimbursement Advance or Section 2.5.1(a)(iii); provided, however, that the FF&E Agent's failure to so disapprove any items of Eligible FF&E Equipment identified by the Company on such Appendix XI on or before the date the Company delivers the final Advance Request pursuant to Section 2.4.2 below shall be deemed to constitute the FF&E Agent's and the FF&E Lenders' approval thereof and the items of Eligible FF&E Equipment identified on such Appendix XI shall be funded in part by the FF&E Facility pursuant to the FF&E Reimbursement Advance or Section 2.5.1(a)(iii), as the case may be, and thereafter comprise a portion of the FF&E Component financed under the FF&E Facility. In the event that the
10
FF&E Agent timely disapproves any items of Eligible FF&E Collateral listed on such Appendix XI, the Company shall have the option of either removing such items from the final Advance Request or requesting in the final Advance Request that such items be financed by Resort Component Funding Sources pursuant to Section 2.5.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4.1(e), the FF&E Agent shall have no right to disapprove any items of Eligible FF&E Collateral listed by the Company in Appendix XI to the Company's preliminary Advance Request from and after the time that (A) the aggregate of the unutilized Commitments under the FF&E Facility and amounts on deposit in the FF&E Proceeds Account is greater than or equal to (B) the aggregate Remaining Costs for Line Items allocated to Eligible FF&E Equipment which has not yet been purchased.
2.4.2 Final Notices From the Company.
(a) The Company shall have the right, with respect to each preliminary Advance Request delivered in accordance with Section 2.4.1(a) above, to deliver to the Disbursement Agent and the Construction Consultant a final Advance Request containing all exhibits, attachments and certificates required thereby, to the extent that such exhibits, attachments and certificates were not previously delivered with the preliminary Advance Request or have been modified subsequent to such delivery (other than the Construction Consultant's Advance Certificate), all appropriately completed and duly executed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Each final Advance Request shall be accompanied by a letter identifying and reconciling any corrections made between the preliminary Advance Request and the final Advance Request. Each final Advance Request shall be delivered no later than eight (8) Banking Days prior to the requested Advance Date (it being understood that the Company may request an Advance Date that is later than the date originally requested pursuant to the preliminary Advance Request).
(b) Concurrently with the delivery by the Company of each final Advance Request pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Company shall deliver to each Funding Agent and the Disbursement Agent a final Notice of Advance Request appropriately completed and duly executed by a Responsible Officer of the Company, which final Notice of Advance request shall include Appendix XI to the Advance Request as approved, deemed approved and/or revised pursuant to Section 2.4.1(e) above. Each final Notice of Advance Request shall state that pursuant to an Advance Request being concurrently delivered to the Disbursement Agent, the Company is requesting that an Advance be made on the Advance Date set forth in such final Advance Request. Each Funding Agent shall, as soon as practicable (but no later than two (2) Banking Days) after receiving each final Notice of Advance Request, deliver a notice confirming such receipt to the Disbursement Agent and, in the case of the Bank Agent and the FF&E Agent, confirming that the Company's calculation of interest and fees to become due and payable under their respective Facilities on and after the requested Advance Date and through the scheduled next succeeding Advance Date is accurate (or, if not accurate, shall provide the appropriate revisions to the Disbursement Agent).
(c) Within five (5) days (but in no event later than four (4) Banking Days prior to the requested Advance Date) after its receipt of each final Advance Request pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Construction Consultant shall deliver directly to the Disbursement Agent (with a copy to the Company) its certificate with respect to such Advance Request, in the form of Exhibit C-2 either approving or disapproving the Advance Request (the "Construction Consultant's Advance Certificate"); provided that if the Construction Consultant disapproves one or more particular payments or disbursements to any Contractor or Subcontractor requested by the Advance Request, but the Advance Request otherwise complies with the requirements hereof, then the Construction Consultant shall approve the Advance Request and all payments and disbursements requested therein other than the
11
particular payments or disbursements so disapproved. If the Construction Consultant disapproves the Advance Request or any one or more particular payments requested therein, the Construction Consultant shall provide the Company, in reasonable detail, its reason(s) for such disapproval.
(d) Promptly after receipt of a request therefor, the Disbursement Agent shall deliver copies of any Advance Request to the Funding Agents.
2.4.3 Funding Notices from Disbursement Agent.
(a) (i) Promptly after delivery of each final Advance Request and related final Notice of Advance Request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.4.2(a) and (b) above, the Disbursement Agent shall review the same in order to reconcile the information set forth in the Advance Request with the information set forth in the related Notice of Advance Request and determine whether all required documentation has been provided and whether all applicable conditions precedent pursuant to this Agreement have been satisfied. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Disbursement Agent shall independently verify, using information in its possession and obtained from the Funding Agents, the Company and the Construction Consultant, (A) the Company's calculation of Available Funds, including Anticipated Earnings, set forth in the Advance Request, (B) that the Project is In Balance, (C) that the allocation of the requested Advance among the various funding sources complies with the provisions of Section 2.5, and (D) that the Company's calculation of interest and fees to become due and payable under the Bank Credit Agreement, the Second Mortgage Notes and the FF&E Facility, in each case, from and after the requested Advance Date and prior to the immediately succeeding Advance Date, is accurate. Subject to the other subsections of this Section 2.4, at such time as the Disbursement Agent has received the Construction Consultant's Advance Certificate as required by Section 2.4.2(c), and otherwise determines that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 3 with respect to a requested Advance have been satisfied, but no less than three (3) Banking Days prior to the requested Advance Date, the Disbursement Agent shall countersign the Notice of Advance Request and deliver the same to the Company and each of the Funding Agents (as so countersigned, an "Advance Confirmation Notice").
(ii) In the event that, pursuant to Section 2.4.2(c), the Construction Consultant approves only a portion of the payments or disbursements requested by the Advance Request or, if based on its review of the Advance Request and accompanying Notice of Advance Request, the Disbursement Agent finds any minor or purely mathematical errors or inaccuracies in the Advance Request or the Notice of Advance Request (including any inaccuracy in the allocations made pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof), but the Advance Request and Notice of Advance Request otherwise conform to the requirements of this Agreement, the Disbursement Agent shall (A) notify the Company thereof, (B) revise (to the extent it is able to do so) or request that the Company revise such certificates to remove the request for the disapproved payment and/or rectify any errors or inaccuracies, (C) deliver or request that the Company execute and deliver to the Funding Agents the revised Notice of Advance Request and (D) approve the requested Advance and issue the Advance Confirmation Notice after making the required revisions (or receiving from the Company the revised certificates) on the basis of the certificates as so revised. In the event that the Disbursement Agent revises the Advance Request and Notice of Advance Request so as to increase the amounts to be advanced under the Bank Credit Facility or the FF&E Facility, the amounts of such increase shall constitute the same type of Loans as requested in such Advance Request (unless otherwise prohibited under the Bank Credit Agreement or the FF&E Facility Agreement, as applicable). In the event that the Disbursement Agent revises the Advance Request and Notice of Advance Request so as
12
to decrease the amounts to be advanced under the Bank Credit Facility or the FF&E Facility, the amounts of such decrease shall (unless otherwise requested by the Company and permitted under the Bank Credit Agreement or the FF&E Facility Agreement, as applicable) first reduce the amount of Base Rate Loans requested under such Facility and then reduce the amount of Eurodollar Loans requested under such Facility. All references to a particular requested Advance, Advance Request or Notice of Advance Request in the ensuing provisions of this Article 2 shall, to the extent the context so requires, refer to the same as revised or modified pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(b) In the event that the Disbursement Agent (i) on or prior to the requested Advance Date determines pursuant to Section 2.4.3(a) that the conditions precedent to an Advance have not been satisfied or (ii) prior to the requested Advance Date receives notice from any Funding Agent that a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Disbursement Agent shall notify the Company and each Funding Agent thereof as soon as reasonably possible but in no event later than one (1) Banking Day after such determination or receipt, as the case may be (a "Stop Funding Notice"). The Stop Funding Notice shall specify, in reasonable detail, the conditions precedent which the Disbursement Agent has determined have not been satisfied and/or shall attach a copy of any notice of default received by the Disbursement Agent. Upon such written notice from the Disbursement Agent, and subject to the provisions of Section 3.5, (i) neither the Bank Lenders nor the FF&E Lenders shall have any obligation to advance their respective Facilities' portion of the requested Advance, if any, (ii) the Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw any funds from the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account for the purpose of transferring such funds to the Collection Account and/or the Disbursement Account or for the purpose of paying any Debt Service on the Bank Credit Facility or the FF&E Facility (provided that the Disbursement Agent shall withdraw funds from the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account for the purpose of paying scheduled Debt Service on the Second Mortgage Notes), (iii) subject to Section 3.2 the Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw any funds from the Company's Funds Account to satisfy such requested Advance, (iv) the Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw, transfer or release any funds on deposit in the Interest Payment Account, (v) the Disbursement Agent shall not withdraw, transfer or release to the Company any funds then on deposit in the Disbursement Account (other than in respect of wires previously issued under Section 2.6.1(c)) or funds on deposit in the Collection Account and (vi) any Advance Confirmation Notice issued prior to the issuance of a Stop Funding Notice (if the Advance to which such Advance Confirmation Notice relates has not been made) shall become null and void and of no force or effect; provided that such nullification of any such Advance Confirmation Notice shall not affect the obligations of the Company for break funding costs under the Bank Credit Facility and the FF&E Facility.
(c) Prior to the earliest of (i) termination of the "Term Loan Commitments" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement), (ii) termination of the "Revolving Loan Commitments" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement), (iii) termination of the "Commitments" (as defined in the FF&E Facility Agreement) and (iv) the exercise of remedies by any Funding Agent in respect of any Project Security, unless any such action has been rescinded, at such time, if ever, as the Disbursement Agent (x) determines that the condition precedent to the requested Advance which had not been satisfied has become satisfied or (y) receives notice from the Funding Agent who issued the notice of default described in the preceding paragraph that such Potential Event of Default or Event of Default no longer exists, as the case may be, the Disbursement Agent shall deliver an Advance Confirmation Notice to the Company and each of the Funding Agents.
13
(d) In the event that a Funding Agent entitled to waive conditions precedent to funding pursuant to Section 3.5 informs the Disbursement Agent in writing that it has waived the event or events giving rise to the Stop Funding Notice, the Disbursement Agent shall deliver an Advance Confirmation Notice (modified, if required, to apply only to amounts to be advanced under such Funding Agent's Facility unless all Funding Agents entitled to waive conditions with respect to such Advance Request have waived the conditions, in which case the Disbursement Agent shall deliver an Advance Confirmation Notice with respect to all Advances requested by the Company) to the Company and each of the Funding Agents.
2.4.4 Provision of Funds by the Funding Agents.
(a) (i) (A) In the case of an Advance Confirmation Notice issued pursuant to Section 2.4.3(a) above, on the requested Advance Date, and (B) in the case of an Advance Confirmation Notice issued pursuant to Section 2.4.3(c) or (d) above, on the third (3rd) Banking Day after such issuance, before 12:00 p.m. New York, New York time, the Bank Lenders and the FF&E Lenders (in each case, subject to Sections 2.5.3 and 2.5.5) shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, in immediately available funds, their Facility's portion of the requested Advance, if any, as determined pursuant to Sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 and set forth in the related Advance Confirmation Notice and, if the final Notice of Advance Request includes a request for the issuance of one or more Letters of Credit under the Bank Revolving Facility, the Bank Agent shall also send written notice to the Disbursement Agent that the "Issuing Lenders" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) under the Bank Revolving Facility are committed to issue each such Letter of Credit.
(ii) Upon confirming that all funds required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to clause (i) above have been deposited and, if applicable, upon receipt of the Bank Agent's confirmation that the "Issuing Lenders" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) under the Bank Revolving Facility are committed to issue each requested Letter of Credit, the Disbursement Agent shall withdraw from the Company's Funds Account, the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account, the Bank Proceeds Account and the FF&E Proceeds Account the portion of the Advance to be funded from each such account as determined pursuant to Sections 2.5 and 2.9(d) and set forth in the related Advance Confirmation Notice and deposit such funds in the Collection Account. Once all such funds have been deposited in the Collection Account, the Disbursement Agent shall (subject to Section 2.4.3(b)) promptly, considering the requirements of this Agreement, withdraw such funds and deposit them in the Disbursement Account and shall notify the Bank Agent that such transfer to the Disbursement Account has been made. Upon receipt of such notice, if applicable, the Bank Agent shall instruct the "Issuing Lenders" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) under the Bank Revolving Facility to issue the requested Letters of Credit. All funds so deposited in the Disbursement Account shall thereafter be applied as provided in Section 2.6.
(b) None of the Disbursement Agent, the Bank Agent or the FF&E Agent shall be responsible for any Bank Lender's or FF&E Lender's failure to make any required Advance (including, if applicable, the failure of any "Issuing Lender" under the Bank Revolving Facility to issue any Letter of Credit). The Disbursement Agent shall not release to the Company any amounts properly advanced until all Advances requested by the relevant Advance Request have been deposited in the Collection Account and, if applicable, the Bank Agent has confirmed that the "Issuing Lenders" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) under the Bank Revolving Facility are committed to issue each requested Letter of Credit, unless the Lenders who have made the Advances request such release (the Disbursement Agent shall promptly notify all Funding Agents upon receiving any such request). However, the withholding of such Advances by the Disbursement Agent shall not release the Lender who
14
failed to make the Advance under its Facility (including, if applicable, any Issuing Lender under the Bank Revolving Facility who failed to issue a Letter of Credit) from liability to the other Lenders and the Company. The Disbursement Agent shall have no liability to the Company arising from any Stop Funding Notice issued pursuant to Section 2.4.3(b) at the request of any Funding Agent (a "Stop Funding Request"), whether or not such Funding Agent was entitled to make any such Stop Funding Request. None of the Funding Agents shall have any liability to the Company, the Disbursement Agent, any other Funding Agent or any Lender arising from any Stop Funding Notice issued by the Disbursement Agent in response to a Stop Funding Request by such Funding Agent; provided, however, that nothing herein shall release from liability the Funding Agent who issued the Stop Funding Request if such issuance resulted from, or constituted an act of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Funding Agent, as finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
2.4.5 Change in Facts Certified. The Company shall promptly notify the Disbursement Agent prior to the making of any Advances in the event that any of the matters to which the Company certified in the corresponding Advance Request are no longer true and correct in all material respects (provided that the foregoing materiality qualifier shall not apply to any certification contained in such Advance Request which by its own terms already includes a standard of materiality), as of the applicable Advance Date (except that any certification that relates expressly to an earlier date shall be deemed made only as of such earlier date). The acceptance by the Company of the proceeds of any Advance shall constitute a re-certification by the Company, as of the applicable Advance Date, of all matters certified to in the related Advance Request.
2.4.6 References to Dates. In the event that any day or date referred to in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4 occurs on a day that is not a Banking Day, the reference shall be deemed to be to the next succeeding Banking Day.
2.5 Allocation of Advances.
2.5.1 Advances for FF&E Component.
(a) All Project Costs allocated pursuant to the Project Budget to the FF&E Component shall be made from the following sources and in the following order of priority:
(i) first, from the Closing Date and until the final Advance from the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account pursuant to clause (iii) below, from funds from time to time on deposit in the Company Funds Account, until Exhausted;
(ii) then, from funds from time to time on deposit in the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account, until Exhausted; and
(iii) then, from funds available to be drawn under the FF&E Facility and the Resort Component Funding Sources, until Exhausted, in such amounts so that after giving effect to the requested Advance, the aggregate amount of all Project Costs allocated pursuant to the Project Budget to the FF&E Component (other than the amounts advanced in connection with the refinancing of the Aircraft) shall have been Advanced in the following percentages: (A) seventy-five percent (75%) shall have been Advanced from the FF&E Facility, and (B) twenty-five percent (25%) shall have been Advanced from the Resort Component Funding Sources. For purposes of the foregoing calculation it shall be deemed that the amount represented by the FF&E Reimbursement Advance was Advanced by the FF&E Facility and not by the Resort Component Funding Sources.
15

(a) first, from amounts on deposit in the Bank Proceeds Account on the relevant date, to the extent thereof; and
(b) then, through Advances by the Bank Lenders.
2.5.4 Advances After Completion Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after Exhaustion of the Required Completion Amount on deposit in the Bank Proceeds Account and the FF&E Proceeds Account, other amounts required to be obtained to pay Project Costs incurred to achieve Final Completion shall be satisfied as follows:
(a) first, by borrowing funds under the Bank Revolving Facility until the aggregate amount borrowed thereunder (excluding any borrowings of the Bank Debt Service Commitment Portion) shall equal $713,200,000;
(b) then, by withdrawing funds on deposit in the Completion Guaranty Deposit Account and transferring such funds to the Collection Account and thereafter to the Disbursement Account; and
(c) then, by using other amounts available to the Company (other than funds available under the Bank Revolving Facility).
2.5.5 Advances Under the FF&E Facility. The amount of $38,500,000 required to be obtained from the FF&E Facility to refinance indebtedness incurred to fund the purchase of the Aircraft shall be satisfied through (i) Advances of funds by the FF&E Lenders in the amount of $28,500,000 directly to the Original Aircraft Lender on the Closing Date and (ii) Advances of funds by the FF&E Lenders in the amount of $10,000,000 which shall be deposited into the Company's Funds Account on the Closing Date.

(b) then, through Advances by the FF&E Lenders.
16
2.5.6 Post-Funding Reallocations. In the event that at any time the Disbursement Agent determines that the allocations made in any previous Advance Requests pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5 were erroneous or inaccurate, the parties shall cooperate to rectify such misallocations by allocating future Advances in a manner that accounts for the previous misallocation or by using such other methods reasonably determined by the Disbursement Agent.
2.6 Disbursements.
2.6.1 Disbursement Procedures. No later than 2:00 p.m. New York, New York time on the requested Advance Date, or such later date as may occur pursuant to Section 2.4.4(a), if the Disbursement Agent has (i) received funds from each Bank Lender and each FF&E Lender required to make an Advance pursuant to the relevant Advance Request (other than (x) $28,500,000 to refinance indebtedness incurred to fund the purchase of an Aircraft, which shall be paid directly to the Original Aircraft Lender on the Closing Date, (y) $10,000,000 to be advanced by the FF&E Lenders on the Closing Date and deposited in the Company's Funds Account and (z) any portion of such Advance for which a Letter of Credit is to be issued under the Bank Credit Facility) (or if the applicable Lenders make the request described in the second sentence of Section 2.4.4(b)), (ii) if applicable, received confirmation from the Bank Agent that the "Issuing Lenders" (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) under the Bank Revolving Facility are committed to issue each requested Letter of Credit, (iii) transferred funds from the Company's Funds Account, the Second Mortgage Note Proceeds Account, the Bank Proceeds Account, the FF&E Proceeds Account and/or the Completion Guaranty Deposit Account to the Collection Account as required pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iv) transferred such funds from the Collection Account to the Disbursement Account, the Disbursement Agent shall transfer all such funds (or, where applicable, the funds as to which the request described in the second sentence of Section 2.4.4(b) has been made) as follows:

Notwithstanding Section 2.6.1 above, the Company agrees that the Disbursement Agent may make Advances and transfer any or all sums in the Disbursement Account directly into the account of any Contractor for amounts due and owing to such Contractor under the relevant Contract, or any other Subcontractors in payment of amounts due and owing to such parties from the Company without further authorization from the Company and the Company hereby constitutes and appoints the Disbursement Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to make such direct payments and this power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable; provided that, except upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Disbursement Agent shall not exercise its rights under this power of attorney except to make payments (a) as directed by the Company
17
pursuant to an Advance Request and otherwise as permitted by Section 2.6.1 or (b) which the Disbursement Agent reasonably believes, if not promptly made, are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No further direction or authorization from the Company shall be necessary to warrant or permit the Disbursement Agent to make such Advances in accordance with the foregoing sentence and, to the extent funds in the Disbursement Account are not sufficient to make such Advances, the Disbursement Agent shall withdraw the shortfall from the Company's Funds Account, the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account, the Bank Proceeds Account and/or the FF&E Proceeds Account in accordance with Section 2.5.2 and transfer sufficient funds to the Collection Account and thereafter to the Disbursement Account as needed to make such Advances.

2.6.4 Satisfaction of Funding Obligations. All disbursements made pursuant to Sections 2.6.1, 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 above shall satisfy, in and of themselves, the obligations of the Disbursement Agent, the Funding Agents and each Lender hereunder and under the relevant Facility Agreements with respect to the Advance so made and (except for amounts which were obtained from the Company's Funds Account) shall be secured by the Facilities' respective Security Documents, if any, to the same extent as if made directly to the Company, regardless of the disposition thereof by the payees of such disbursements.
2.7 Payments of Interest and Fees. Until the Completion Date, the Company shall include in each Advance Request delivered pursuant to Sections 2.4.1(a) and 2.4.2(a) a request that an Advance be made to pay the interest and fees that will become due and payable under each of the Bank Credit Agreement, the Second Mortgage Notes and the FF&E Facility on or after the requested Advance Date under such Advance Request and prior to the immediately succeeding Advance Date. Each such Advance Request shall specify the Facility, the amount and the date on which such interest or fees will become due and payable. If the Company fails to set forth such information in any Advance Request or fails to deliver timely any Advance Request, then the Bank Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the FF&E Agent as to their respective Facilities may deliver such information and a request for payment to the Disbursement Agent upon which request the Disbursement Agent shall revise the Advance Request and related Notice of Advance Request to provide for such payment. The Company acknowledges that failure of any notice referenced in this Section 2.7 to be delivered to the Disbursement Agent shall not in any way exonerate or diminish the Company's obligation to make all payments under each of the Bank Credit Agreement, the Second Mortgage Notes and the FF&E Facility as and when due. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 and the Company Collateral Account Agreements, the Disbursement Agent shall apply amounts on deposit in the Interest Payment Account to the payment of interest and fees under the Bank Credit Agreement, the Second Mortgage Notes and/or the FF&E Facility, in each case, on the date that the Disbursement Agent is advised such amounts will become due and payable. The Company shall not be permitted to obtain Advances for the purpose of paying interest, fees or other Debt Service at any time after the Completion Date.
18

If the Company fails to set forth such information in any Advance Request or fails to deliver timely any Advance Request, then the Bank Agent or the Indenture Trustee shall deliver such information and a request for Advance to the Disbursement Agent upon which request the Disbursement Agent shall revise the Advance Request and related Notice of Advance Request to provide for such Advance.

The Disbursement Agent will take such actions as any Funding Agent or the Company may reasonably request to cause the Independent Consultants to act diligently in the issuance of all certificates required to be delivered by the Independent Consultants hereunder and to otherwise fulfill their obligations to the Bank Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the FF&E Agent as described in the first sentence of Section 8.2.
ARTICLE 9.
THE DISBURSEMENT AGENT
9.1 Appointment and Acceptance. Subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Funding Agents hereby jointly and irrevocably appoint and authorize the Disbursement Agent to act on their behalf hereunder and under the Collateral Account Agreements and any other account agreements to which it is a party (collectively, the "Related Agreements"). The Disbursement Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to exercise commercially reasonable efforts and utilize commercially prudent practices in the performance of its duties hereunder consistent with those of similar institutions holding collateral, administering construction loans and disbursing disbursement control funds.
9.2 Duties and Liabilities of the Disbursement Agent Generally.
9.2.1 Commencing upon execution and delivery hereof, the Disbursement Agent shall have the right to meet periodically at reasonable times, however no less frequently than quarterly, upon three (3) Banking Days' notice, with representatives of the Company, the Construction Consultant, the Prime Contractor, the Project Architect and such other Contractors, employees, consultants or agents as the Disbursement Agent shall reasonably request to be present for such meetings. The
66
Disbursement Agent may perform such inspections and tests of the Project as it deems reasonably appropriate in the performance of its duties hereunder. In addition, the Disbursement Agent shall have the right at reasonable times upon prior notice to review all information (including Project Documents) supporting the amendments to the Project Budget, amendments to any Project Documents, the Company's Advance Requests and any certificates in support of any of the foregoing, to inspect materials stored on the Mortgaged Property or at any other location, to review the insurance required pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreements, to confirm receipt of endorsements from the Title Insurer insuring the continuing priority of the liens of the Deeds of Trust as security for each Advance hereunder, and to examine the Plans and Specifications and all shop drawings relating to the Project. The Disbursement Agent is authorized to contact any Contractor for purposes of confirming receipt of progress payments. The Disbursement Agent shall be entitled to examine, copy and make extracts of the books, records, accounting data and other documents of the Company, including without limitation bills of sale, statements, receipts, conditional and unconditional lien releases, contracts or agreements, which relate to any materials, fixtures or articles incorporated into the Project. From time to time, at the request of the Disbursement Agent, the Company shall make available to the Disbursement Agent a Project Schedule. The Company agrees to cooperate with the Disbursement Agent in assisting the Disbursement Agent to perform its duties hereunder and to take such further steps as the Disbursement Agent reasonably may request in order to facilitate the Disbursement Agent's performance of its obligations hereunder.
9.2.2 Powers, Rights and Remedies. The Disbursement Agent is authorized to take such actions and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Related Agreements as are specifically delegated or granted to the Disbursement Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Disbursement Agent agrees to act in accordance with the instructions of the Controlling Person and in the absence of such instructions shall take such actions or refrain from acting as it deems reasonable subject to any express requirements of this Agreement. Unless a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing or as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither the Funding Agents nor the Disbursement Agent shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to take an action inconsistent with the Company's instructions (if such Company instructions are consistent with the requirements of this Agreement).
9.2.3 Notice of Events of Default. If the Disbursement Agent notifies any Funding Agent that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default known to it (or as to which it has received notice from any Funding Agent) has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Disbursement Agent shall provide prompt notice to each of the Funding Agents of the same and otherwise shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and the documents constituting or executed in connection with this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the reasonable administration of its own affairs.
9.2.4 No Risk of Own Funds. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall require the Disbursement Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under the Related Agreements, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
9.2.5 No Imputed Knowledge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the entity acting as Disbursement Agent also serves as a collateral agent or Funding Agent under the Financing Agreements, and except if such functions shall be performed by the same individuals within such entity to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Disbursement Agent shall not be
67
deemed to have any knowledge of any fact known to such entity in its capacity as the collateral agent or Funding Agent by reason of the fact that the Disbursement Agent and the collateral agent or Funding Agent, as the case may be, are the same entity. Except as aforesaid, no knowledge of the collateral agent or any Funding Agent shall be attributed to the Disbursement Agent. The Disbursement Agent's duties and functions hereunder shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon the Disbursement Agent in its capacity as Bank Agent or as Lender. With respect to its participation in the extensions of credit under the Bank Credit Agreement, the Disbursement Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Funding Agent or Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing its duties and functions hereunder. The Disbursement Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with the Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Company for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. Each party hereto acknowledges that, as of the Closing Date, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is, in addition to acting as the Disbursement Agent hereunder, also acting as the initial Bank Agent and may be a Bank Lender.
9.3 Particular Duties and Liabilities of the Disbursement Agent.
9.3.1 Reliance Generally. The Disbursement Agent may, from time to time, in the event that any matter arises as to which specific instructions are not provided herein or in a Related Agreement (as applicable), request directions from the Funding Agents or the Controlling Person with respect to such matters and may refuse to act until so instructed and shall be fully protected in acting or refusing to act in accordance with such instructions. The Disbursement Agent may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval or other paper or document believed by it on reasonable grounds to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
9.3.2 Court Orders. The Disbursement Agent is authorized, in its exclusive discretion, to obey and comply with all writs, orders, judgments or decrees issued by any court or administrative agency affecting any money, documents or things held by the Disbursement Agent. The Disbursement Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto, their successors, heirs or personal representatives by reason of the Disbursement Agent's compliance with such writs, orders, judgments or decrees, notwithstanding the fact that such writ, order, judgment or decree is later reversed, modified, set aside or vacated.
9.3.3 Requests, etc. of the Company. Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) by an instrument signed by one of its Responsible Officers, and any resolution of the Company may be evidenced to the Disbursement Agent by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company.
9.3.4 Reliance on Opinions of Counsel.

9.3.5 Action through Agents or Attorneys. The Disbursement Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder or under any Related Agreement either directly or by or through agents or attorneys appointed with due care, and the Disbursement Agent shall not be responsible for any act on the part of any agent or attorney so appointed.
68
9.3.6 Marshaling of Assets. The Disbursement Agent need not marshal in any particular order any particular part or piece of the Project Security held by the Disbursement Agent in its capacity as Disbursement Agent hereunder or under any Related Agreement, or any of the funds or assets that the Disbursement Agent may be entitled to receive or have claim upon.
9.3.7 Disagreements.
(a) In the event of any disagreement between a Funding Agent and the Company or any other Person or Persons whether or not named herein, and adverse claims or demands are made in connection with or for any of the investments or amounts held pursuant to this Agreement or under any Related Agreement, the Disbursement Agent shall be entitled at its option to refuse to comply with any such claim or demand so long as such disagreement shall continue, and in so doing, the Disbursement Agent shall not be or become liable for damages or interest to such Funding Agent or the Company or any other Person or Persons for the Disbursement Agent's failure or refusal to comply with such conflicting or adverse claims or demands. The Disbursement Agent shall be entitled to continue so to refrain and refuse so to act until:
(i) the rights of the adverse claimants have been fully adjudicated in the court assuming and having jurisdiction of the claimants and the investments and amounts held pursuant to this Agreement or under any Related Agreement; or
(ii) all differences shall have been adjusted by agreement, and the Disbursement Agent shall have been notified thereof in writing by all persons deemed by the Disbursement Agent, in its sole discretion, to have an interest therein.
(b) In addition, the Disbursement Agent, in its sole discretion, may file a suit in interpleader for the purpose of having the respective rights of all claimants adjudicated, and may deposit with the court all of the investments and amounts held pursuant to this Agreement or under any Related Agreement. The Company agrees to pay all costs and reasonable counsel fees incurred by the Disbursement Agent in such action, said costs and fees to be included in the judgment in any such action.
9.4 Segregation of Funds and Property Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Financing Agreements, monies and other property received by the Disbursement Agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held for the purposes for which they were received, and shall be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or by law. To the extent that the Disbursement Agent also acts as securities intermediary, (a) the Disbursement Agent shall note in its records that all funds and other assets in the Company Accounts (other than the FF&E Proceeds Account, the Bank Proceeds Account and the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account), have been pledged to the Project Secured Parties and that the Disbursement Agent is holding such items for the Project Secured Parties, (b) the Disbursement Agent shall note in its records that all funds and other assets in the FF&E Proceeds Account have been pledged to the FF&E Agent for the benefit of the FF&E Secured Parties and that the Disbursement Agent is holding such items for such Persons, (c) the Disbursement Agent shall note in its records that all funds and other assets in the Bank Proceeds Account have been pledged to the Bank Agent for the benefit of the Bank Lenders and that the Disbursement Agent is holding such items for such Persons and (d) the Disbursement Agent shall note in its records that all funds and other assets in the Second Mortgage Notes Proceeds Account have been pledged to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Second Mortgage Notes Holders and that the Disbursement Agent is holding such items for such Persons. Accordingly, all such funds and assets shall not be within the bankruptcy "estate" (as such term is used in 11 U.S.C. § 541) of the Disbursement Agent. The Disbursement Agent shall not be under any liability for interest on any monies received by it hereunder, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement. The Disbursement

or (ii) any limitation on the right of Secured Party to originate Entitlement Orders with respect to or direct the transfer of any Investments or cash credited to the Collateral Accounts.
SECTION 7. Securities Intermediary Maintenance of the Collateral Accounts.
(a) Transactions Shall Comply With Rules. The parties acknowledge that all transactions in Financial Assets under this Agreement shall be in accordance with the rules and customs of the exchange, market or clearing organization, if any, in which the transactions are executed or settled and in conformity with applicable law and regulations of governmental authorities and future amendments or supplements thereto.
(b) Fees and Charges of Securities Intermediary. Pledgor shall pay to Securities Intermediary, in accordance with Securities Intermediary's usual schedule of charges or any written agreement between Securities Intermediary and Pledgor, any fees or charges reasonably imposed by Securities Intermediary with respect to the establishment, maintenance and transactions in or affecting the Collateral Accounts.
(c) Securities Intermediary Shall Not Permit Leverage of Investments. Securities Intermediary shall not execute any transaction to acquire a Financial Asset under Section 4(b) unless (A) there are sufficient funds in a specific Collateral Account to settle such transactions or (B) it is reasonably anticipated that such funds will be generated through the liquidation of Financial Assets in such Collateral Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that Securities Intermediary executes a transaction without adequate funds to settle the transaction, Pledgor shall be liable to Securities Intermediary for any deficiency and shall promptly reimburse Securities Intermediary for any loss or expense incurred thereby, including losses sustained by reason of Securities Intermediary's inability to borrow any securities or other property sold for the Collateral Account. Pledgor agrees to pay interest charges which may be imposed by Securities Intermediary in accordance with its usual custom, with respect to late payments for Financial Assets purchased for any Collateral Account and prepayments to any Collateral Account (i.e., the crediting of the proceeds of sale before the settlement date or receipt by Securities Intermediary of the items sold in good deliverable form). Pledgor agrees to pay promptly any amount which may become due in order to satisfy demands for additional margin or marks to market with respect to any security purchased or sold on instruction from Pledgor.
(d) Risk of Investments and Transactions. It is not the intention of the parties that Securities Intermediary should bear any investment risk associated with Permitted Investments or Overnight Investments acquired for the credit of the Collateral Accounts in accordance with Section 4. Any losses or gains realized on such Investments shall be charged or credited to the Collateral Accounts, as appropriate. On committing to a transaction for the credit of the Collateral Accounts pursuant to an instruction permitted in accordance with Section 4, Securities Intermediary may, (i) pending settlement, block (A) the Investments to be sold or (B) credit balances sufficient to settle any acquisition and, (ii) at the time of settlement, deliver such Investments or funds in accordance with the rules, custom or practice of the particular market.
(e) Use of Intermediaries and Nominees. Securities Intermediary is authorized, subject to Secured Party's written instructions, to register any Financial Assets acquired by Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement in the name of Securities Intermediary or in the name of its nominee, or to cause such securities to be registered in the name of a Federal reserve bank, a recognized securities intermediary or clearing corporation, or a nominee of any of them. Securities Intermediary may at any time and from time to time appoint, and may at any time remove, any bank, trust company, clearing corporation, or Broker-Dealer as its agent to carry out such of the provisions of this Agreement. The appointment or use of any intermediary, or the appointment of any such agent, shall not relieve Securities Intermediary of any responsibility or liability under this Agreement.
(f) Corporate Actions. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the parties agree that neither Secured Party nor Securities Intermediary shall have any responsibility for ascertaining or acting upon
9
any calls, conversions, exchange offers, tenders, interest rate changes or similar matters relating to any Financial Assets credited to or held for the credit of the Securities Accounts (except based on written instructions originated by Pledgor or Secured Party), or for informing Pledgor or Secured Party with respect thereto, whether or not Securities Intermediary or Secured Party has, or is deemed to have, knowledge of any of the aforesaid. Securities Intermediary is authorized to withdraw securities sold or otherwise disposed of, and to credit the appropriate Collateral Account with the proceeds thereof or make such other disposition thereof as may be directed in accordance with this Agreement. Securities Intermediary is further authorized to collect all income and other payments which may become due on Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Accounts, to surrender for payment maturing obligations and those called for redemption and to exchange certificates in temporary form for like certificates in definitive form, or, if the par value of any shares is changed, to effect the exchange for new certificates. It is understood and agreed by Pledgor and Secured Party that, although Securities Intermediary will use reasonable efforts to effect the transactions set forth in the preceding sentence, Securities Intermediary shall incur no liability for its failure to effect the same unless its failure is the result of wilful misconduct.
(g) Disclosure of Account Relationships. Pledgor and Secured Party acknowledge that Securities Intermediary may be required to disclose to securities issuers the name, address and securities positions with respect to Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Accounts, and hereby consent to such disclosures.
(h) Forwarding of Documents. Securities Intermediary shall forward to Pledgor and Secured Party, or notify Pledgor and Secured Party by telephone of, all communications received by Securities Intermediary as owner of any Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Accounts and which are intended to be transmitted to the beneficial owner thereof.
(i) Direction of Secured Party Controls in Disputes. Pledgor, Securities Intermediary and Secured Party hereby agree that in the event any dispute arises with respect to the payment, ownership or right to possession of the Collateral Accounts or any other Collateral credited to or held therein, Securities Intermediary shall take such actions and shall refrain from taking such actions with respect thereto as may be directed by Secured Party.
(j) No Setoff, etc. Securities Intermediary shall not exercise on its own behalf any claim, right of set-off, banker's lien, clearing lien, counterclaim or similar right against any of the Collateral; provided that Securities Intermediary may deduct, from any credit balances, any usual and ordinary transaction and administration fees payable in connection with the administration and operation of the Collateral Accounts. Except for claims for deductions permitted in the preceding sentence, Securities Intermediary agrees that any security interest it may have in the Collateral Accounts or any security entitlement carried therein shall be subordinate and junior to the interest of Secured Party.
(k) Only Agreement. This Agreement shall govern the actions, rights and obligations of Securities Intermediary, and shall determine the governing law, with respect to the Collateral Accounts and the Collateral notwithstanding any term or condition in any agreement other than this Agreement as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing.
(l) Care of Financial Assets. Securities Intermediary shall maintain possession or control of all Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Accounts by segregating such Financial Assets from its proprietary assets and keeping them free of any lien, charge or claim of any third party granted or created by Securities Intermediary. Securities Intermediary shall take such other steps to ensure that Financial Assets credited to the Collateral Accounts are identified as being held for customers of Securities Intermediary as may required under applicable law, including 17 CFR Part 450, or in accordance with custom and practice in the industry.

SECTION 8. Transactions in Collateral Accounts.
(a) Power of Secured Party to Sell or Transfer. Pledgor agrees that Secured Party may sell or cause the sale or redemption of any Investment and instruct Securities Intermediary to transfer the proceeds of such sale or any other credit or balance in any of Collateral Accounts to any of the Collateral Accounts or any third party or account, in either case (i) if such sale or redemption is necessary to permit Secured Party or the Disbursement Agent to perform its duties under this Agreement, the Disbursement Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement, or (ii) as provided in Section 14.
(b) Drawings Permitted from Certain Accounts. By Pledgor. Pledgor shall have no right to withdraw any funds from any other Collateral Account.

(b) Execution Authorized. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Securities Intermediary have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Securities Intermediary.
(c) Securities Intermediary. Securities Intermediary is a "securities intermediary" (as that term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the Code) and is acting in such capacity with respect to the Collateral Accounts.

The pledge and assignment of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid security interest in the Collateral securing the Payment of the Secured Obligations. Assuming compliance by Securities Intermediary with this Agreement, Secured Party will have a perfected security interest in the Collateral Accounts senior in priority to any other security interest created by Pledgor, other than the security interest in favor of the Bank Agent created by the Bank Company Collateral Account Agreement.
(b) Governmental Authorizations. No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for either (i) the grant by Pledgor of the security interest granted hereby, (ii) the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Pledgor, or (iii) the perfection of or, subject to any Nevada Gaming Commission approvals, the exercise by Secured Party or Securities Intermediary of its rights and remedies hereunder (except as may have been taken by or at the direction of Pledgor).
(c) Other Information. All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to Secured Party or Securities Intermediary by or on behalf of Pledgor with respect to the Collateral, the establishment of the Collateral Accounts or otherwise is accurate and complete in all material respects.
SECTION 11. Further Assurances.
(a) Pledgor. Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of Pledgor, Pledgor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or that Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party or Securities Intermediary to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgor shall: (a) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby, and (b) at Secured Party's request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect Pledgor's title to or Secured Party's security interest in all or any part of the Collateral.
(b) Securities Intermediary. Securities Intermediary shall take such further actions as Secured Party shall reasonably request as being necessary or desirable to maintain or achieve perfection or priority of Secured Party's security interest with respect to the Collateral and to permit Secured Party to exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral.
SECTION 12. Transfers and other Liens. Pledgor agrees that, except as permitted in Section 4(b) and for the security interest created by this Agreement and the Bank Company Collateral Account Agreement, it shall not (a) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), redeem or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or (b) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral.
SECTION 13. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact; Secured Party Performance.
(a) Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor, Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party's discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including (a) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Pledgor and
12
(b) to receive, endorse and collect any instruments or other Investments made payable to Pledgor representing any dividend, principal or interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
(b) Performance by Secured Party. If Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor under Section 16.
SECTION 14. Remedies.
(a) Transfer or Sequestration of Collateral after Potential Event of Default or Event of Default. If any Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may instruct Securities Intermediary to (i) sell or redeem any Investments, (ii) transfer any or all of the Collateral to any account designated by Secured Party, including account or accounts established in Secured Party's name (whether at Secured Party or Securities Intermediary or otherwise), (iii) register title to any Collateral in any name specified by Secured Party, including the name of Secured Party or any of its nominees or agents, without reference to any interest of Pledgor, or (iv) otherwise deal with the Collateral as directed by Secured Party.
(b) Rights of Secured Party after Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction (the "UCC") (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and Secured Party may also in its sole discretion sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker's board or at any of Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective, of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(c) Agreement as to Manner of Sale. Pledgor hereby agrees that the Collateral is of a type customarily sold on recognized markets and, accordingly, that no notice to any Person is required before any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided that, without prejudice to the foregoing, Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of any such sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.
(d) Deficiency. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(e) Set-off. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all sums in the Collateral Accounts shall be subject to Secured Party's or any Second Mortgage Noteholder's rights of set-off.
SECTION 15. Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all cash included as Collateral and all proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale or redemption of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of Secured Party, be held by or for Secured Party as Collateral for, or then, or at any
13
other time thereafter, applied in full or in part by Secured Party against, the Secured Obligations in any order or priority as may be determined by the Secured Party.

SECTION 17. Resignation and Removal of Securities Intermediary.
(a) Removal. Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time by written notice given by Secured Party to Securities Intermediary and Pledgor, but such removal shall not become effective until a successor Securities Intermediary shall have been appointed by Secured Party (or, if prior to the termination of the Bank Company Collateral Account Agreement, by the Bank Agent) and shall have accepted such appointment in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Securities Intermediary and the Secured Party have been notified in writing by the Bank Agent that the Bank Company Collateral Account Agreement has terminated, the Bank Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to remove the Securities Intermediary.
(b) Resignation. Securities Intermediary may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty days' written notice to Secured Party and Pledgor, but such removal shall not become effective until a successor Securities Intermediary shall have been appointed by Secured Party (or, if prior to the termination of the Bank Company Collateral Account Agreement, by the Bank Agent) and shall have accepted such appointment in writing. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Securities Intermediary shall not have been delivered to the resigning Securities Intermediary within thirty days after the giving of any such notice of resignation, the resigning Securities Intermediary may, at the expense of Pledgor, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Securities Intermediary.

Any successor Securities Intermediary shall be a corporation qualified to, and located in, New York, which (A) is subject to supervision or examination by the applicable Governmental Authority, (B) has a combined capital and surplus of at least Five Hundred Million Dollars (US$500,000,000), (C) has a long-term credit rating of not less than "A-"or "A3", respectively, by any Rating Agency; and provided, that any such bank with a long-term credit rating of "A-"or "A3 "shall not cease to be eligible to act as Securities Intermediary upon a downward
15
change in either such rating of no more than one category or grade of such minimum rating, as the case may be.
(d) Process of Succession. Upon the appointment of a successor Securities Intermediary and its acceptance of such appointment, the resigning or removed Securities Intermediary shall transfer all items of Collateral held by it to such successor (which items of Collateral shall be transferred to appropriate new Collateral Accounts established and maintained by such successor). Following such appointment all references herein to Securities Intermediary shall be deemed a reference to such successor; provided that the provisions of Section 16(a) hereof shall continue to inure to the benefit of the resigning or removed Securities Intermediary with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Securities Intermediary hereunder.
SECTION 18. Continuing Security Interest; Termination of Obligations of Securities Intermediary. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Secured Obligations, (b) be binding upon Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of Secured Party and the Second Mortgage Noteholders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Upon any such termination Secured Party shall, at Pledgor's expense, execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and Pledgor shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, against receipt and without recourse to Secured Party, of such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof. Securities Intermediary shall not be released from its obligations hereunder, and shall continue to maintain any Collateral in accordance with this Agreement, until notified in writing by Secured Party that this Agreement has terminated and so long as Secured Party has not withdrawn such notification.

Secured Party shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement, the Disbursement Agreement and the Second Mortgage Notes Indenture.
(b) Identity of Agent. Secured Party shall at all times be the same Person that is the Indenture Trustee under the Second Mortgage Notes Indenture. Written notice of resignations by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to subsection [7.08] of the Second Mortgage Notes Indenture shall also constitute notice of resignation as Secured Party under this Agreement; removal of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to subsection [7.08] of the Second Mortgage Notes Indenture shall also constitute removal as Secured Party under this Agreement; and substitution of a successor indenture trustee pursuant to subsection [7.08] of the Second Mortgage Notes Indenture shall also constitute substitution of a successor Secured Party under this Agreement.

16
successor Secured Party), together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Secured Party such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Secured Party of the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Indenture Trustee's resignation or removal hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder.
SECTION 20. Amendments, Etc.
No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any party herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the other parties, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

SECTION 22. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver, Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
SECTION 23. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Pledgor and Secured Party each acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement for Pledgor and Secured Party to enter into a business relationship, that Pledgor and Secured Party have already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings.
