(h) Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, such Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of its material Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue, and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees, and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings.
(i) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any of its Intellectual Property, or abandon any application or any right to file an application for letters patent, trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor shall have previously determined that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property is no longer desirable in the conduct of such Grantor’s business and that the loss thereof could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and, in which case, such Grantor shall give prompt notice of any such abandonment of any material Intellectual Property to the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith.
(j) In the event that any of its material Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall (i) take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such Intellectual Property is of material economic value, promptly notify the Collateral Agent after it learns thereof and xxx for infringement, misappropriation or dilution (as applicable), seek injunctive relief where appropriate and recover any and all damages awarded for any such infringement, misappropriation or dilution (or take other action as such Grantor deems appropriate in the exercise of its prudent business judgment).
22
(k) Such Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership interest in any item of Intellectual Property which is not now a part of the Grantor Collateral (other than that described in clause (v) of the definition of Released Assets) (the “After-Acquired Intellectual Property”), (i) the provisions of Section 2 shall automatically apply thereto, (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and in the case of trademarks, the goodwill of the business connected therewith or symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Grantor Collateral, (iii) with respect to any material Intellectual Property, it shall give prompt (and, in any event within five (5) Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor acquires such ownership interest in any material Intellectual Property) written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith, and (iv) with respect to any material Intellectual Property, it shall provide the Collateral Agent promptly (and, in any event within five (5) Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor acquires such ownership interest in any material Intellectual Property) with an amended Schedule 6 hereto and take the actions specified in Section 4.9(m).
(l) Such Grantor agrees to execute an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with respect to its Intellectual Property in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 in order to record the security interest granted herein to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, and any other applicable Governmental Authority.
(m) Promptly after filing an application for the registration of any After-Acquired Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, or any similar office or agency in any other county or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor agrees to execute an After-Acquired Intellectual Property Security Agreement with respect to such After-Acquired Intellectual Property in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 in order to record the security interest granted herein to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, or other Governmental Authority (as applicable).

5.2 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.
(a) The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables; provided that the Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
23
Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 5.4, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor.
(b) At the Collateral Agent’s request, after the occurrence and during the continuance of Default or an Event of Default each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts (other than Non-Deliverable Collateral).
5.3 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.
(a) In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent under the Consents, the Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts.
(b) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables and parties to the Contracts that the Receivables and the Contracts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
5.4 Pledged Securities.
(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor (or, in the case of the Pledgor Collateral, the Pledgor) of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 5.4(b), (i) each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all dividends made
24
in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes and to exercise all voting and corporate or other ownership rights with respect to the Pledged Securities, and (ii) the Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all dividends made in respect of the Pledgor Collateral and to exercise all voting, corporate or other rights with respect to the Pledgor Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b) Subject to applicable provisions of Nevada Gaming Laws, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Xxxx Party or Xxxx Parties, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all dividends, payments or other Proceeds made in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 5.6, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate or other ownership and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any meeting of shareholders or other equity holders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Xxxx Party or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Xxxx Party to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
(c) Each Xxxx Party hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Xxxx Party hereunder (i) to comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Xxxx Party, and each Xxxx Party agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, subject to applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, to pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Collateral Agent.
5.5 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 5.2, and subject to applicable provisions of Nevada Gaming Laws, with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and if so requested by the Collateral Agent, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, cash equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact
25
form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Xxxx Party in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.6.
5.6 Application of Proceeds. All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied to repay the Secured Obligations as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.
5.7 Code and Other Remedies.
(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise (subject to obtaining any required approvals from any Governmental Authorities including the Nevada Gaming Authorities), in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Xxxx Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Xxxx Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Xxxx Party, and each Xxxx Party hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/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. Each Xxxx Party agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Xxxx Party 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. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent 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. The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any
26
warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Xxxx Party agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Xxxx Party hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Grantor Collateral and the Pledgor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request to assemble the Pledgor Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Xxxx Party’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.7, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Xxxx Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Xxxx Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.
(b) In the event of any disposition of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such disposition shall be included, and the applicable Grantor shall supply the Collateral Agent or its designee with such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services relating to any Intellectual Property subject to such disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.
5.8 Registration Rights.
(a) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 5.7, and if in the opinion of the Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Xxxx Party will cause, or with respect to any Issuer that is not an Affiliate of any Xxxx Party, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one (1) year from the date of the first
27
public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto. The relevant Xxxx Party agrees to cause, or with respect to any Issuer that is not an Affiliate of any Xxxx Party, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Collateral Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
(b) Each Grantor and, in the case of the Pledgor Collateral, the Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor and, in the case of the Pledgor Collateral, the Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Debt Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
(c) Each Grantor and, in the case of the Pledgor Collateral, the Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 5.8 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor and, in the case of the Pledgor Collateral, the Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.8 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.8 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor and, in the case of the Pledgor Collateral, the Pledgor, and such Grantor and, in the case of the Pledgor Collateral, the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a defense of payment.
5.9 Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor (but, consistent with Section 2.4, not the Pledgor) shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Pledgor be liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral or the Pledgor Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations.
28
5.10 Exercise of Control. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not (nor will it direct any agent acting as a collateral agent or other agent as secured party pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement or any Control Agreement to) deliver any notice of control or otherwise exercise control or issue any entitlement orders or instructions over any Account or any other deposit or securities account of such Grantor subject to a Control Agreement. Upon the cure or waiver of such Event of Default, the Collateral Agent will (or will direct any agent acting as a collateral agent or other agent as secured party pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement or any Control Agreement to) deliver a revocation of such notice of control or otherwise rescind control over, and hereby agrees to no longer issue any entitlement orders or instructions with respect to, any Account or any other deposit or securities account of such Grantor over which control was previously exercised.
SECTION 6. THE COLLATERAL AGENT
6.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) Subject to compliance with applicable Nevada Gaming Laws, each Wynn Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Wynn Party and in the name of such Wynn Party or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor or Pledgor, as applicable, hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor or Pledgor, as applicable, without notice to or assent by such Grantor or Pledgor, as applicable, to do any or all of the following:
(i) in the name of such Wynn Party or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
29
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.7 or 5.8, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Grantor Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Wynn Party with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its reasonable judgment determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Wynn Party’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) If any Wynn Party fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due “Revolving Credit Loans” that are “Base Rate Loans” under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Wynn Party, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.
30
(d) Each Wynn Party hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
6.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 or 9-208 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Wynn Party or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Wynn Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Wynn Party.
6.3 Filing of Financing Statements. Each Wynn Party acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Wynn Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Wynn Party hereby agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in the Security Documents or as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the undersigned, whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired by the undersigned. If and to the extent permitted by applicable law, a photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.
6.4 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Wynn Party acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Wynn Parties, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Wynn Party shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
31
6.5 Appointment of Co-Collateral Agents. At any time or from time to time, in order to comply with any Requirement of Law, the Collateral Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one of more other persons, either to act as co-agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and which may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, include provisions for indemnification and similar protections of such co-agent or separate agent); provided that the Collateral Agent shall give prompt notice of such appointment to all Wynn Parties pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Any such appointment shall be in accordance with Nevada Gaming Laws.
SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in writing signed by the Collateral Agent (acting pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) and each Wynn Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, supplements or revisions to Schedules made in accordance with or as required by this Agreement shall be effective without the consent of any party hereto (other than the Grantor or the Pledgor, as the case may be, providing such supplement or revision).
7.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Wynn Party hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Wynn Party shall be addressed to such Wynn Party at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.
7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
7.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) Each Wynn Party agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party (after the occurrence of an Event of Default) for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Wynn Party in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under

(a) At such time as any Grantor becomes subject to the jurisdiction of the Nevada Gaming Authorities as a licensee or registered company under the Nevada Gaming Laws (or prior to such time in furtherance of any Grantor’s application to become a licensee or registered company under the Nevada Gaming Laws), the pledge of any Pledged Stock or other equity securities issued by such Grantor (“Pledged Gaming Stock”) under this Agreement will require the approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities in order to remain effective and any subsequent amendment of this Agreement will require the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities in order to become effective.
(b) In the event that a Secured Party exercises a remedy set forth in this Agreement with respect to any Pledged Gaming Stock, that is a foreclosure, transfer of a possessory security interest in such Collateral, the exercise of voting and consensual rights with respect thereto afforded hereunder and/or re-registration of such Collateral, such exercise of remedies would be deemed a separate transfer of such Collateral and would require the separate and prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities pursuant to applicable Nevada Gaming Laws as in effect on the date hereof and the licensing of such Secured Party or other transferee, unless such licensing requirement is waived by the Nevada Gaming Authorities.
(c) In the event that after a Secured Party exercises a remedy set forth in this Agreement with respect to Grantor Collateral consisting of gaming devices, cashless wagering systems and associated equipment (as those terms are defined in the Nevada Gaming Laws) a transfer, sale, distribution, or other disposition of such Grantor Collateral occurs (separate from any foreclosure action by a Secured Party unless such Secured Party utilizes such Grantor Collateral for gaming purposes), such transfer, sale, distribution, or other disposition of such Grantor Collateral would require the separate and prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities pursuant to applicable Nevada Gaming Laws as in effect on the date hereof or the licensing of such Secured Party or other transferee.
(d) The approval by the applicable Nevada Gaming Authorities of this Agreement shall not act or be construed as the approval, either express or implied, for a Secured Party to take any actions or steps provided for in this Agreement for which prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities is required, without first obtaining such prior and separate approval of the applicable Nevada Gaming Authorities to the extent then required by applicable Nevada Gaming Laws.
(e) The physical location of all certificates evidencing Pledged Gaming Stock shall at all times remain within the territory of the State of Nevada at a location designated to the Nevada Gaming Authorities (and thereafter shall not change the location of such Pledged Gaming Stock or permit such change, in either case, without prior notice to the Wynn Parties), and each of such certificates shall be made available for inspection by agents of the Nevada Gaming Authorities immediately upon request during normal business hours. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any agent of the Collateral Agent shall surrender possession of the Pledged Gaming Stock to any Person other than the Wynn Party pledging such Pledged Gaming Stock without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities or as otherwise permitted by applicable Nevada Gaming Laws.
36
(f) It shall cooperate with the Nevada Gaming Authorities in connection with the administration of their regulatory jurisdiction over certain of the Wynn Parties, including, without limitation, through the provision of such documents or other information as may be requested by the Nevada Gaming Authorities relating to the Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties or such Grantors.
(g) The Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective assignees are subject to being called forward by the Nevada Gaming Authorities, in their discretion, for licensing or a finding of suitability in order to remain entitled to the benefits of this Agreement as it relates to Pledged Gaming Stock.
7.18 Waiver.

37
know about any Grantor, regardless of whether such Person has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Pledgor intends to assume, or have reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Pledgor, or have a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Pledgor, and Pledgor acknowledges that it is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Loan Parties and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of nonpayment of any obligations and liabilities hereby guaranteed, (j) any defense based on any change in the time, manner or place of any payment under, or in any other term of, any Financing Agreement or any other amendment, renewal, extension, acceleration, compromise or waiver of or any consent or departure from the terms thereof, (k) any defense arising because of any Secured Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (l) any defense based upon any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code.

WHEREAS, the following terms which are defined in Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York on the date hereof (the “UCC”) are used herein as so defined: Commodity Account, Commodity Contract, Commodity Intermediary’s Jurisdiction, Control and Proceeds.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Notice of Security Interest. The Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the Broker are entering into this Control Agreement to perfect, and to confirm the priority of, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Broker acknowledges that this Control Agreement constitutes written notification to the Broker of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Broker agrees to promptly make all necessary entries or notations in its books and records to reflect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Broker acknowledges that the Collateral Agent has control over the Pledged Account and all commodity contracts and any free credit balance carried therein from time to time.
SECTION 2. Collateral; Pledged Account. (a) The Grantor hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Collateral Agent and the Broker that, all commodity contracts carried by the Broker on its books for the Grantor are and shall be credited to the Pledged Account.
(b) The Broker hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Grantor and the Collateral Agent that (i) the Broker is a commodity intermediary with respect to the Grantor and the Pledged Account is a commodity account, (ii) the commodity intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-305(b) of the UCC) is, and during the term of this Control Agreement shall for all purposes of this Control Agreement remain, the State of New York, (iii) Schedule 1 contains a true and complete statement of the Pledged Account and the commodity contracts and any free credit balance carried therein as of the date hereof, and (iv) no commodity contracts carried in the Pledged Account shall be purchases on margin, and the Broker will not extend, directly or indirectly, any “purpose credit” (within the meaning of such term under Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States) to the Grantor in respect of the Pledged Account.
E-2
(c) The Collateral Agent hereby instructs the Broker, and the Broker hereby confirms and agrees that, unless the Collateral Agent shall otherwise direct the Broker in writing, all commodity contracts carried by the Broker on its books for the Grantor shall be credited only to, and carried only in, the Pledged Account.
SECTION 3. Control. The Broker hereby agrees, upon written direction from the Collateral Agent and without further consent from the Grantor, (a) to apply any value distributed on account of the commodity contracts carried in the Pledged Account as directed by the Collateral Agent, to liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Collateral as and to the extent directed by the Collateral Agent and to pay over to the Collateral Agent all proceeds and other value therefrom or otherwise distributed with respect thereto without any setoff or deduction, and (b) except as otherwise directed by the Collateral Agent, not to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract carried in the Pledged Account as directed by the Grantor or any other person at any time after the Broker has received notice from the Collateral Agent that it is no longer permitted to so apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract carried in the Pledged Account (and thereafter not until such time as the Collateral Agent sends written notice to the Broker that it is permitted to so apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract carried in the Pledged Account). Until such time as the Broker has received notice from the Collateral Agent that it not is permitted to apply any value distributed on account of the commodity contracts carried in the Pledged Account as directed by the Grantor (and after such time as the Issuer has received notice from the Collateral Agent that it is permitted to so apply any value distributed on account of the commodity contracts carried in the Pledged Account) the Grantor shall be entitled to issue directions concerning the application of any value distributed on account of any commodity contract carried in the Pledged Account, and the Broker shall comply with such directions; provided, however, that if and when the Broker receives conflicting directions from the Grantor and the Collateral Agent, the Bank shall only follow the directions of the Collateral Agent. It is understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent has been appointed as agent of the Bank Agent and the 2014 Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement and will exercise control on behalf of such persons in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. The intent of the foregoing is to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Bank Agent and the 2014 Indenture Trustee granted pursuant to the Security Agreement.
SECTION 4. Other Agreements; Termination; Successor Brokers. The Broker shall simultaneously send to the Collateral Agent copies of all notices given and statements rendered to the Grantor with respect to the Pledged Account. The Broker shall notify promptly the Collateral Agent and the Grantor if any other person asserts any lien, encumbrance, claim or security interest in or against any of the Collateral. As long as this Control Agreement remains in effect, neither the Grantor nor the Broker shall terminate the Pledged Account without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other party and the Collateral Agent. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Control Agreement and any other agreement governing any Collateral, the provisions of this Control Agreement shall control. In the event the Broker no longer serves as Broker for the Collateral, the Pledged Account, the commodity contracts and any free credit balance carried therein shall be transferred to a successor broker, custodian or futures commission merchant satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, provided, that prior to such transfer, such successor broker, custodian or futures commission merchant shall execute an agreement that is substantially in the form of this Control Agreement or is otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
E-3
SECTION 5. Protection of Broker. The Broker may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any notice, instruction or other communication that it reasonably believes to be genuine and authorized.
SECTION 6. Termination. This Control Agreement shall terminate automatically upon receipt by the Broker of written notice executed by the Collateral Agent that (i) all of the obligations (excluding unmatured contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations) secured by the Collateral have been satisfied in accordance with any agreements applicable thereto, or (ii) the security interest in all of the Collateral has been released, whichever is sooner, and the Broker shall thereafter be relieved of all duties and obligations hereunder. The Collateral Agent agrees to provide a Notice of Termination in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto to the Broker upon the termination of this Control Agreement in accordance with the foregoing.
SECTION 7. Waiver; Priority of Collateral Agent’s Interests. Other than with respect to its fees and customary commissions with respect to the Pledged Account, the Broker hereby waives its right to set off any obligations of the Grantor to the Broker against any or all of the Collateral, and hereby agrees that any and all liens, encumbrances, claims or security interests which the Broker may have against the Collateral, either now or in the future in connection with the Pledged Account are and shall be subordinate and junior to the prior payment in full in immediately available funds of all obligations of the Grantor now or hereafter existing under the Bank Credit Agreement, the 2014 Indenture, the Security Agreement and all other documents related thereto, whether for principal, interest (whether or not such interest accrues after the filing of such petition for purposes of the federal Bankruptcy Code or is an allowed claim in such proceeding), indemnities, fees, premiums, expenses or otherwise. Except for the foregoing and claims and interests of the Grantor and the Collateral Agent as described herein in the Collateral, the Broker does not know of any claim to or security interest or other interest in the Collateral.
SECTION 8. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made on the earlier of delivery, or three days after being deposited in the mail and sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, to the Grantor’s, the Collateral Agent’s and the Broker’s address as set forth below, or to such other address as any party may give to the others in writing for such purpose:
