11
5.9 Security for Financing.
It is anticipated that the value of the Company's interests in Wynn Hong Kong, the interests of Wynn Hong Kong in Xxxx Macau, and the interests of Xxxx Macau in land and work in progress on the casino resort in the MSAR or any additional casino or casinos will provide sufficient security for any debt financing described in Section 5.8, but if additional security is required, such security, including, without limitation, Shares, shall be provided by the Shareholders, in proportion to their holdings of Shares. In the event that Xxxx is required to provide security for financing of Xxxx Macau pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Xxxx Macau Shareholders' Agreement, the obligation of SHW to provide security under this Section 5.9 shall be correspondingly reduced by the amount of security so provided.
5.10 Additional Capital Contributions and Shareholder Loans.
In addition to the initial capital contributions described in Section 5.7 and the financing and security provided for in Sections 5.8 and 5.9, in the event that the Board determines that the Company, Wynn Hong Kong, or Xxxx Macau requires funds, and the Company, Wynn Hong Kong, or Xxxx Macau are unable to obtain or do not wish to obtain such funds from construction contractors, commercial lenders, or through public or private offerings of debt or equity securities, the Shareholders shall be obligated to make additional capital contributions and loans to the Company for such purposes within thirty (30) days after Notice of such capital requirement from the Board; provided, however, that the total amount that the Shareholders shall be obligated to contribute and lend to the Company, or provide as security, including the amounts set forth in Sections 5.7, 5.8, and 5.9, shall be limited to Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000). All capital contributions and loans made by the Shareholders shall (a) be in proportion to the number of Shares owned by them, (b) be made simultaneously, and (c) in the case of loans, bear interest at the Reference Rate. Any Shareholder that does not make any such required contribution shall have his or its interests in the Company diluted according to the following formula. In the event that at least one (1), but less than all, of the Shareholders makes a contribution required by the Board pursuant to this Section 5.10 (i) the Board shall determine the Company Value before such contribution or contributions are made, and (ii) each such contribution shall be accorded a value which shall proportionately increase the Shares owned by each contributing Shareholder by a factor of one and one-half (1.5) times the amount of that capital contribution. Each such increase of Shares shall be of the same class as the other Shares held by such contributing Shareholder. To the extent necessary, the Company's Charter Documents shall be amended to authorize such additional Shares as are necessary to evidence the increases in Shares pursuant to this Section 5.10. An example of the application of this dilution formula is provided in Exhibit G attached hereto. In the event that Xxxx is required to contribute capital to Xxxx Macau pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Xxxx Macau Shareholders' Agreement, the obligation of SHW to contribute capital under this Section 5.10 shall be correspondingly reduced by the amount of capital so provided and Xxxx International shall be required to contribute to the Company the amount not so contributed by SHW. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the event of any failure by Xxxx to contribute capital pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Macau Shareholders' Agreement, SHW's ownership interest in the Company shall be decreased by the same percentage as Xxxx'x ownership interest in Xxxx Macau is reduced pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Macau Shareholders' Agreement, and the interests of Xxxx International in Class B Shares shall be increased by the amount of such reduction. For example, if Xxxx'x ownership interest in Xxxx Macau is reduced by twenty percent (20%) from ten percent (10%) to eight percent (8%), SHW's ownership interest in the Company (through Class A Shares) shall be reduced from nineteen and six-tenths of one percent (19.6%) to fifteen and sixty-eight one-hundredths of one percent (15.68%) and Xxxx International's ownership interest in the Company (through Class B Shares) shall be increased from sixty-five and seven-tenths of one percent (65.7%) to sixty-nine and sixty-two one hundredths of one percent (69.62%). To the extent permitted by the laws of the Isle of Man, any such reduction shall be effected by the purchase by the Company of Class A Shares for no value and the increase of Class B Shares for no additional subscription amount and, to the extent that the Company does not have the power to so purchase such Class A Shares, by the increase in number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares owned by Shareholders other than SHW for no additional subscription amount.
12
5.11 Additional Capital Contributions for SHW and Owners of SHW Shares.
In the event (a) of the death, disability, retirement, removal, unsuitability, failure to remain a permanent resident of the MSAR, or other failure of Xxxx to serve as the Executive Director of Xxxx Macau, (b) of the liquidation of Xxxx Macau or the Company, (c) Xxxx Transfers all or any portion of his interest in Xxxx Macau, (d) Xxxx fails to make any contribution of capital to Xxxx Macau required pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Xxxx Macau Shareholders' Agreement, or (e) of the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Xxxx serving as Executive Director of Xxxx Macau, then (i) Xxxx, (ii) SHW, and (iii) any owner or owners at any time and from time to time of any of the SHW Shares shall have the joint and several obligation to contribute to the Company, without any corresponding increase in interest in the Company, any amount (A) received in payment for the redemption, liquidation, or purchase of Class A Shares in Xxxx Macau, in the case of a redemption, liquidation, or purchase of the Class A Shares in Xxxx Macau pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Xxxx Macau Shareholders' Agreement or otherwise, or (B) any amount required to be contributed as capital to Xxxx Macau pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Xxxx Macau Shareholders' Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations imposed by this Section 5.11 shall be joint and several and shall apply not only to Xxxx and SHW, but also to any Transferee, owner, or owners of any SHW Shares or any interest therein at any time and from time to time and such obligations shall only be satisfied after all amounts described in (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding sentence have been contributed to the capital of the Company. This obligation shall run with the SHW Shares and shall not be extinguished by any Transfer of the SHW Shares or any interest therein. In the event of a liquidation of both Xxxx Macau and the Company, the Class B Shares shall be entitled to a liquidation preference of any amount required to be contributed to the Company by Xxxx, SHW, or any owner or owners from time to time of any of the SHW Shares pursuant to this Section 5.11.

ARTICLE 8
TERM AND TERMINATION
8.1 Term.
This Agreement will continue in effect for so long as Wynn International or any of its Affiliates owns any of the Class B Shares, unless it is earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the termination of the Company under the laws of the Isle of Man, this Agreement shall continue in effect as a contract among the Shareholders with respect to such provisions as impose a continuing obligation upon any of them.
8.2 Events of Default.
The occurrence and continuation of any of the following events or circumstances by or with respect to an Investor or any Beneficial Owner of an Investor shall constitute an Event of Default by such Investor or Beneficial Owner:
(a) The liquidation, bankruptcy, dissolution, or appointment of an administrator for any of the Investors or Beneficial Owners;
(b) Any failure by any Investor or Beneficial Owner to cure his or its material breach of any material provision of this Agreement within thirty (30) days following Notice from the Company or Wynn International of such breach, including without limitation, the failure of an Investor to make any capital contribution to the Company required pursuant to Section 5.10 or 5.11;
(c) The commission by any Investor or Beneficial Owner of any act of fraud or embezzlement or any other intentional misconduct that may adversely affect the business or affairs of the Company, Wynn International, or any of their respective Affiliates;
(d) The existence or occurrence of any Gaming Problem or Securities Problem, or any violation of the FCPA, by or with respect to any of the Investors or Beneficial Owners; or
(e) The Transfer or attempted Transfer of any interest in, or portion of, Class A Shares or any Investor, except as expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement.
8.3 Remedies Upon Events of Default.
If an Event of Default described in Section 8.2 has occurred and is continuing, the Company, Wynn International, or any Person designated by the Company or Wynn International, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase all Shares owned by the Investor or Beneficial Owner to which the Event of Default relates (each, a "Defaulting Investor") at an aggregate price equal to the relevant Subscription Amount for such Shares plus additional capital contributions made by an Investor pursuant to Sections 5.10 and 5.11 (the "Default Price"). The exercise by the Company or Wynn International of a right to purchase Shares pursuant to this Section 8.3 imposes no obligation on the Company or Wynn International to purchase any Shares and will not alter any other rights to which the Company or the other Shareholders may be entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, any personal liability of any Party.
8.4 Manner of Exercise.
The Company or Wynn International may exercise the option under Section 8.3 by Notice to the Defaulting Investor stating that all or part of the Shares directly or indirectly owned by such Defaulting Investor or its Affiliates is being purchased and specifying the Event of Default giving rise to the option, which Notice shall be delivered to the Defaulting Investor within sixty (60) days after the date upon which the Company learns of the Event of Default.
19
8.5 Closing.
The closing of any redemption, purchase, or sale made pursuant to Sections 8.3 and 8.4 shall be held at a date, time, and place specified by the Company and Wynn International within sixty (60) days following the exercise of the option under Section 8.3.
8.6 Enforcement of Rights.
Each Investor and Beneficial Owner hereby covenants and agrees that he or it, as a Shareholder and, subject to any fiduciary duties, as a Director, shareholder, officer, or manager of the Company, shall vote the same way as the majority of the other Shareholders, Directors, officers, or managers (as the case may be) in all matters relating to the exercise of any right or option or the pursuit of any remedy under this Article 8.
9.1 Indemnification by Investors and Beneficial Owners.
Each Investor and Beneficial Owner hereby jointly and severally indemnifies the Company and holds the Company and its Affiliates harmless in respect of any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, settlement costs and any legal, accounting, and other expenses of investigating or defending any actions, claims, or legal proceedings, or threatened actions, claims, or legal proceedings and any taxes or other governmental charges payable in respect of any indemnification payments hereunder) incurred by the Company, together with interest on cash disbursements in connection therewith at the Reference Rate from the date such cash disbursements were made by the Company until paid by any of the Shareholders, in connection with the misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligation of any of the Investors and Beneficial Owners contained in this Agreement or any other instrument contemplated by this Agreement.
9.2 Indemnification by the Company.
The Company hereby indemnifies the Shareholders and holds the Shareholders and their respective Affiliates harmless in respect of any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, settlement costs and any legal, accounting, or other expenses of investigating or defending any actions, claims, or legal proceedings or threatened actions, claims, or legal proceedings and any taxes or other governmental charges payable in respect of any indemnification payments hereunder) incurred by the Shareholders or their Affiliates, together with interest on cash disbursements in connection therewith at the Reference Rate from the date that such cash disbursements were made by the Shareholders or their Affiliates until paid by the Company, in connection with the misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or any other instrument contemplated by this Agreement.
9.3 Claims for Indemnification.
Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give Notice to the Indemnifying Party of the claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim. In the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any action, claim, or legal proceedings by a Person who is not a Party, the Notice to the Indemnifying Party shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any action, claim, or legal proceeding by a third Person for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
20
delayed) unless such action, claim, or legal proceeding shall have been instituted against it and the Indemnifying Party shall not have taken control of such action, claim, or legal proceeding after Notice thereof.
9.4 Defense by Indemnifying Party.
In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnification hereunder resulting from or arising out of any action, claim, or legal proceeding by a Person who is not a Party, the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense may, upon Notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such action, claim, or legal proceeding if it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such action, claim, or legal proceeding. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, claim, or legal proceeding with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such action, claim, or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such action, claim, or legal proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense, shall take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such action, claim, or legal proceeding without the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such action, claim, or legal proceeding (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against such action, claim, or legal proceeding, in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, settling such action, claim, or legal proceeding, after giving Notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, claim, or legal proceeding with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party thereafter seeks to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such third Person's action, claim, or legal proceeding or the amount or nature of any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the Indemnified Party did not defend or settle such action, claim, or legal Proceeding in a reasonably prudent manner.
9.5 Manner of Indemnification.
All indemnification provided hereunder shall be effected, at the sole option of the Indemnified Party (a) out of a holdback or set-off against any payment of any amount of any type payable to the Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, or (b) by (i) the payment of cash in Dollars, (ii) delivery of a certified or official bank check in Dollars, or (iii) a wire or telegraphic transfer of funds in Dollars, in each case by the Indemnifying Party.
Each of the Company and each Investor and Beneficial Owner acknowledges that Wynn International and its Affiliates will make available to the Company, Wynn Hong Kong, Xxxx Macau, and their respective Affiliates certain technical assistance, documentation, information, and other matters in connection with the design, construction, development, maintenance, and operation of the casino resort and gaming operations to be developed and operated by Xxxx Macau and in connection therewith may provide the Company, the Investors, the Beneficial Owners, and their respective Affiliates with certain documentation and information regarding the business of Wynn International and its Affiliates, (collectively, the "Information"). All of the Information shall remain the property of Wynn International and its Affiliates and the disclosure of the Information shall not be deemed to confer upon the Company, any Investor or Beneficial Owner, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, or agents any rights whatsoever in respect of any part of
21
the Information. In consideration of receiving the Information, each of the Company, each Investor, and each Beneficial Owner hereby undertakes with Wynn International, on behalf of itself and each of its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, and agents, whether or not any such Information is strictly confidential or proprietary:
(a) not to make any use of the Information for any purpose other than in accordance with this Agreement, and in particular, but without limitation, not to use any of the Information for any commercial purpose;
(b) to hold all of the Information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose or divulge any part of the Information to any third Person without the prior written consent of Wynn International, which may be withheld by Wynn International for any reason whatsoever, or, in the sole discretion of Wynn International, given on such terms and conditions as Wynn International considers appropriate;
(c) not to make or solicit any announcement or disclosure regarding the Company, Wynn International, Wynn Hong Kong, Xxxx Macau, any of their respective Affiliates, or the business of any of them, unless Wynn International gives its express prior written consent;
(d) to restrict access to the Information to those of its responsible employees and professional advisers who absolutely require such access and to impose upon all such employees and professional advisers obligations of confidentiality equivalent to those contained in this Agreement;
(e) not to copy, reproduce, or part with possession of any of the Information except as is strictly necessary and as is consistent with its obligations contained in this Agreement;
(f) immediately on request by Wynn International at any time, to return to Wynn International or as Wynn International may direct all of the Information and all documents and other material containing or embodying the Information (or any part thereof) together with all copies thereof, and in any event to promptly return all of such Information to Wynn International upon the Termination of this Agreement; and
(g) except in accordance with this Agreement, not to, in any way, form, or manner whatsoever, make any use of the Information or any of the ideas, concepts, materials, or documents comprising the Information.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Parties has any right to Transfer any of the rights, duties, or obligations granted by or imposed in this Agreement.

11.3 Successors and Permitted Transferees.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted Transferees; provided, however, that this provision shall not be deemed to
23

11.4 Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws and not the laws pertaining to choice or conflicts of laws, of the Isle of Man. The Parties hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Isle of Man and Hong Kong in all actions relating to the construction, interpretation, or enforcement of this Agreement and all rights and obligations relating hereto.
11.5 Modifications, Amendments, and Waivers.
No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Party to be charged. No failure by any Party to (a) object to or act upon any breach by any other Party of any provision of this Agreement, (b) insist upon strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or (c) exercise any option, right, or remedy provided for in this Agreement shall operate or be construed (except as expressly provided in this Agreement) as a waiver or as a relinquishment for the future of the same or any other term, provision, option, right, or remedy provided for in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 11.5 may not be modified, amended, or waived except in accordance with this Section 11.5.
11.6 Not for Benefit of Creditors.
The provisions of this Agreement are intended only for the regulation of relations between the Parties. This Agreement is not intended for the benefit of non-Party creditors and no rights are granted to non-Party creditors under this Agreement.
11.7 Force Majeure.
Except as provided in this Agreement, no Party shall be liable to the other Party for any breach of, or failure of performance under, this Agreement caused by or resulting from any act of God, act of state, natural or man-made disaster, war, political unrest, or any other cause beyond its reasonable control ("Force Majeure"), to the extent and throughout the duration of such condition of Force Majeure.
11.8 Time of Essence.
The time and exactitude of the performance of each of the terms, obligations, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement are hereby declared and acknowledged by the Parties to be of the essence.
11.9 Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be valid, legal, and effective and to achieve the intent of the Parties to the fullest extent possible and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Party or circumstances, that is determined to any extent or for any reason to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction or in any other circumstances.
11.10 Survival.
The provisions of Articles 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 and all obligations to make or complete any payments due at the time of or as a result of any termination of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, the dissolution of any of the
24
Parties, the cessation of the carrying on of the business by any of the Parties, and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of any Party, and shall expire only upon the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, if any.
11.11 Specific Performance.
The Parties agree that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that would accrue to a Party by reason of a failure of the other to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, if any Party shall institute any action, claim, or legal proceeding to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, any Party against whom such action, claim, or legal proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense that such Party has an adequate remedy at law and this Agreement may be enforced by injunction or other equitable relief ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction.
11.12 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, including the Exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties relating to the matters contained in and covered by this Agreement and, except as expressly provided herein, supersedes all prior oral and written and all contemporaneous oral agreements, arrangements, negotiations, commitments, statements, writings, understandings, and undertakings among the Parties with respect thereto.
11.13 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original, but all of which together constitute one (1) and the same instrument.
