(d) Equity Grant. Employee was granted 30,000 shares of restricted stock of Wynn Resorts, Limited common stock pursuant to the Wynn Resorts, Limited 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

(h) Section 409A Provision. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, if, at the time of Employee’s termination of employment with the Employer, he or she is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and one or more of the payments or benefits received or to be received by Employee pursuant to the Agreement would constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, no such payment or benefit will be provided under the Agreement until the earlier of: (a) the date that is six (6) months following Employee’s termination of employment with the Employer or (b) the Employee’s death. The provisions of this Section shall only apply to the extent required to avoid Employee’s incurrence of any penalty tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder. In addition, if any provision of the Agreement would cause Employee to incur any penalty tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code or any regulations or Treasury guidance promulgated thereunder, the Employer may reform such provision to maintain the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.
(i) Withholdings. All compensation provided to Employee by Employer under this Section 7 shall be subject to applicable federal, state or local employment-related withholdings.
2. Effectiveness. The amendments set forth in Section 1 shall be effective as of May 29, 2019.
