The Shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and such Shares, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; and, except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, no preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of stockholders or others exist with respect to any of the Shares or the issue and sale thereof by the Company. Neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the Offering or sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights, other than those which have been waived or satisfied, for or relating to the registration of any shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement.

The Registration Statement contains, and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto will contain, all statements which are required to be stated therein by, and will conform to, the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations. The documents incorporated, or to be incorporated, by reference in the Prospectus, at the time filed with the Commission conformed or will conform, in all respects to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or the Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(y) None of the Wynn Parties is or, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares contemplated hereunder and the application of the net proceeds from such sale as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, will be required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of

8




such term under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
(z) To the Company’s knowledge, there are no affiliations or associations between any member of FINRA and any of the Company’s officers, other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
 
(aa) Each of the Wynn Parties keeps accurate books and records and maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
(bb) The chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Exchange Act) for the Company and have (i) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under their supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries is made known to the chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others within the Company and its subsidiaries, (ii) evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in each annual and quarterly report of the Company (each, a “Report”) their conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by each Report based on such evaluation and (iii) disclosed in each Report any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by such Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company have disclosed, based upon their most recent evaluation of the internal controls over financial reporting, to the Company’s auditors and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (x) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, and (y) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls. The Company and its subsidiaries maintain systems of internal control over financial reporting that are effective and the Company is not aware of any material weakness in their internal control over financial reporting.
(cc) Each of the Wynn Parties carries, or is covered by, insurance with insurers of recognized financial responsibility in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as is commercially reasonable, and as the Wynn Parties deem adequate and prudent for the conduct of their respective businesses and the value of their respective properties and as is customary for companies engaged in similar businesses including, but not limited to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Wynn Parties against theft, damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and earthquakes. The Wynn Parties have no reason to believe that such insurance coverage cannot be renewed as and when such coverage expires or that similar coverage could not be obtained from similar insurers at a cost that would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change (other than as a result of general market conditions).
(dd) Except for matters which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, each of the Wynn Parties is in compliance with all presently applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (“ERISA”). No “reportable event” (as defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any “pension plan” (as defined in ERISA) for which any Wynn Parties would have any liability. None of the Wynn Parties has incurred or expects to incur liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any “pension plan” or (ii) Section 412 with respect to unpaid or delinquent contributions or 4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations

9




thereunder (the “Code”). Except for matters which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, each “pension plan” for which any Wynn Party would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.
(ee) None of the Wynn Parties nor, to the knowledge of the Wynn Parties, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of any of the Wynn Parties is currently subject to any sanctions imposed or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (collectively, “Sanctions”), or is located, organized or resident in a country or territory that is the subject of Sanctions; and the Wynn Parties will not directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other person or entity, for the purpose of financing the activities of any person or entity subject to any Sanctions.
(ff) The operations of each of the Wynn Parties are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial record keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, applicable money laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving any of the Wynn Parties with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Wynn Parties, threatened.
(gg) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, none of the Wynn Parties or, to the best knowledge of the Wynn Parties, any director, officer, agent, employee or other person associated with or acting on behalf of any of the Wynn Parties or any owner of 10 percent or more of the capital stock of any of the Wynn Parties has, with respect to any of the Wynn Parties, (i) used any Wynn Parties’ funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expense relating to political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds, (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or (iv) made any bribe, unlawful rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment.
(hh) The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and files reports with the Commission on the EDGAR System. The Company’s Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of its Common Stock under the Exchange Act or de-listing the Common Stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Select Market is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.
 
(ii) No relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among any of the Wynn Parties or their subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any manager, member, managing member, director, officer, stockholder, affiliate, customer or supplier of any of them, on the other hand, which would be required by the Act or by the Rules and Regulations promulgated pursuant thereto to be disclosed in a registration statement on Form S-3 which is not so disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.
(jj) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no holders of securities (debt or equity) of the Wynn Parties, or holders of rights (including, without limitation, preemptive rights), warrants or options to obtain securities of the Wynn Parties, who in connection with the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, have the right to request the Wynn Parties to register securities held by them under the Act, except for any such rights that have either been fully complied with by the Company or effectively waived by the holders thereof, and any such waivers remain in full force and effect.
(kk) Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company (or any Significant Subsidiary) and any person that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or you for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or other like payment in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus or, to the Company’s or any Significant Subsidiary’s knowledge, any arrangements, agreements, understandings,

10




payments or issuance with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees, subsidiaries or affiliates that may affect your compensation as determined by FINRA.
Any certificate required hereunder signed by or on behalf of the Company and delivered to the Underwriters or to counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company to the Underwriters as to the matters covered thereby (and is subject to the limitations set forth therein, if any).
The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered pursuant to Section 6 hereof, counsel to the Company and counsel to the Underwriters, will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of the foregoing representations and hereby consent to such reliance.

PURCHASE, SALE AND DELIVERY OF THE SHARES.

(b) Payment for the Shares to be sold hereunder is to be made in Federal (same day) funds to an account designated by the Company. Delivery of the Shares shall be made in physical certificate form at such location as the Underwriters shall reasonably designate at least one Business Day in advance of the Closing Date.

Such payment and delivery shall be at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on April 3, 2018 or at such other time as you and the Company shall agree upon, such time and date being herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” As used herein, “business day” means a day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and on which banks in New York are open for business and are not permitted by law or executive order to be closed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall require the Underwriters to make payment for the Shares until the condition set forth in Section 6(j)(x) has been satisfied.
Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon mutual agreement of the Company and the Underwriters, the settlement and payment of the Shares may be accomplished through other customary delivery methods.
 
3.
OFFERING BY THE UNDERWRITER.
(a) It is understood that the several Underwriters are to make a public offering of the Shares as soon as the Representative deems it advisable to do so. The Shares are to be initially offered to the public at the public offering price set forth in the Prospectus. The Representative may from time to time thereafter change the public offering price and other selling terms.
(b) It is further understood that you will act as the Representative for the Underwriters in the offering and sale of the Shares in accordance with a Master Agreement Among Underwriters entered into by you and the several other Underwriters
 
4.
COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
The Company covenants and agrees with the Underwriters that:
(a) The Company will (A) prepare and timely file with the Commission under Rule 424(b) (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)) under the Act a Prospectus in a form approved by the Representative containing information previously omitted at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in reliance on Rules

11




430A, 430B or 430C under the Act, (B) not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or distribute an amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or document incorporated by reference therein of which the Representative shall not previously have been advised and furnished with a copy or to which the Representative shall have reasonably objected in writing or which is not in compliance with the Rules and Regulations and (C) file on a timely basis all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be filed by the Company with the Commission subsequent to the date of the Prospectus and prior to the termination of the offering of the Shares by the Underwriters.
(b) The Company will (i) not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission under Rule 433 under the Act unless the Representative approves its use in writing prior to first use (each, a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”); provided that the prior written consent of the Representative shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) included in Schedule II hereto, (ii) treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, (iii) comply with the requirements of Rules 163, 164 and 433 under the Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including the requirements relating to timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping and (iv) not take any action that would result in an Underwriter or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that such Underwriter otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder.
(c) The Company will advise the Representative promptly (A) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement relating to the Shares shall have become effective, or any supplement to the Prospectus shall have been filed, (B) of the receipt of any comments from the Commission, (C) of any request of the Commission for amendment of the Registration Statement or the filing of a new registration statement or any amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or for any additional information, and (D) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or such new registration statement or any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or of the institution of any proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Act. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting thereof, if issued.
(d) If, at any time after the Representative have informed the Company that Shares remain unsold, the Company receives from the Commission a notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Act or otherwise ceases to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration statement form, the Company will (i) promptly notify the Representative, (ii) promptly file a new registration statement or post-effective amendment on the proper form relating to the Shares, in a form satisfactory to the Representative, (iii) use its best efforts to cause such registration statement or post-effective amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable (if such filing is not otherwise effective immediately pursuant to Rule 462 under the Act), and (iv) promptly notify the Representative of such effectiveness. The Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Shares to continue as contemplated in the Registration Statement that was the subject of the notice under Rule 401(g)(2) under the Act or for which the Company has otherwise become ineligible. References herein to the Registration Statement relating to the Shares shall include such new registration statement or post-effective amendment, as the case may be.
(e) If immediately prior to the third anniversary (the “Renewal Deadline”) of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement the Representative has informed the Company that Shares remain unsold, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Deadline file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Shares, in a form satisfactory to the Representative. If the Company is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement, the Company will, prior to the Renewal Deadline, if it has not already done so, file a new shelf registration statement relating to the Shares, in a form satisfactory to the Representative, and will use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Deadline. The Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Shares to continue as contemplated in the

12




expired registration statement. References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement, as the case may be.
(f) The Company agrees to pay the required filing fees to the Commission relating to the Shares within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) under the Act without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Act.
(g) The Company will cooperate with the Representative in endeavoring to qualify the Shares for sale under (or obtain exemptions from the application of the qualification requirements of) the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably have designated in writing and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such information as may be reasonably required for that purpose, provided the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent. The Company will, from time to time, prepare and file such statements, reports, and other documents, as are or may be required to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period as the Representative may reasonably request for distribution of the Shares. The Company shall advise the Representative promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Shares for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation of threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.
 
(h) The Company will deliver to, or upon the order of, the Representative, from time to time, as many copies of any Preliminary Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as the Representative may reasonably request. The Company will deliver to, or upon the order of, the Representative during the period when delivery of a Prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to under Rule 173(a) under the Act) (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”) is required under the Act, as many copies of the Prospectus in final form, or as thereafter amended or supplemented, as the Representative may reasonably request. The Company will maintain in the Company’s files manually signed copies of the Registration Statement as initially filed and all amendments thereto including all consents and exhibits filed therewith in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Commission.
(i) The Company will comply with the Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Shares as contemplated in this Agreement and the Prospectus. If during the period in which a prospectus (or, in lieu thereof, the notice referred to under Rule 173(a) under the Act) is required by law to be delivered by an Underwriter or a dealer, any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of the Representative, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or, if it is necessary at any time prior to the consummation of the Offering to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with any law, the Company promptly will either (i) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or (ii) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate filing under the Exchange Act which shall be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus so that the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when it is so delivered, be misleading, or so that the Prospectus will comply with the law.
(j) If the General Disclosure Package is being used to solicit offers to buy the Shares at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur as a result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of the Representative, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or to make the statements therein not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, or if it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the General Disclosure Package to comply with any law, the Company promptly will either (i) prepare, file with the Commission (if required) and furnish to the Underwriters and any dealers an appropriate amendment or supplement to the General Disclosure Package or (ii) prepare and file with the Commission an appropriate filing under the Exchange Act which shall be incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package so

13




that the General Disclosure Package as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances, be misleading or conflict with the Registration Statement then on file, or so that the General Disclosure Package will comply with law.
 
(k) The Company will make generally available to its security holders, as soon as it is practicable to do so, but in any event not later than 15 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Act), an earnings statement (which need not be audited) in reasonable detail, complying with the requirements of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act and will advise you in writing when such statement has been so made available.
(l) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will furnish to the Underwriters, as soon as they have been prepared by or are available to the Company, a copy of any unaudited interim financial statements of the Company for any period subsequent to the period covered by the most recent financial statements appearing in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
(m) [RESERVED].
(n) The Company will use its best efforts to list, subject to notice of issuance, the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
(o) The Company shall apply the net proceeds of its sale of the Shares as set forth in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and shall file such reports with the Commission with respect to the sale of the Shares and the application of the proceeds therefrom as may be required in accordance with Rule 463 under the Act.
(p) The Company shall not invest, or otherwise use the proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Shares in such a manner as would require the Company to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act.
(q) The Company will maintain a transfer agent and, if necessary under the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, a registrar for the Common Stock.
(r) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company.
(s) The Company shall at or prior to the Closing provide to Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited an executed version of Exhibit A to the Share Purchase Agreement (as defined below).
(t) The Company shall at or prior to the Closing cause Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP to provide that Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited shall be entitled to rely on the opinions set forth in Annex II hereto.

14




Agreement shall not be consummated because the conditions in Section 6 hereof are not satisfied, or because this Agreement is terminated by the Representative pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof, or by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Company to perform any undertaking or satisfy any condition of this Agreement or to comply with any of the terms hereof on its part to be performed, unless such failure, refusal or inability is due primarily to the default or omission of an Underwriters, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriter for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, marketing and proposing to market the Shares or in contemplation of performing their obligations hereunder; but the Company shall not in any event be liable to the Underwriters for damages on account of loss of anticipated profits from the sale by them of the Shares.

8.
INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter or any such controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or (iii) any act or failure to act, or any alleged act or failure to act by any Underwriter in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Shares or the Offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon matters covered by clause (i) or (ii) above (provided, that the Company shall not be liable under this clause (iii) to the extent that it is determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Underwriter through its gross negligence or willful misconduct); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus, or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or through the Representative specifically for use in the preparation thereof, which information is limited to that set forth in Section 13. The Company also agrees to reimburse each Underwriter and each such controlling person upon demand for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability, action or proceeding or in responding to a subpoena or governmental inquiry related to the Offering of the Shares, whether or not such Underwriter or controlling person is a party to any action or proceeding. In the event that it is finally judicially determined that the Underwriters were not entitled to receive payments for legal and other expenses pursuant to this subparagraph, the Underwriters will promptly return all sums that had been advanced pursuant hereto.

17




(b) Each Underwriter severally and not jointly will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that each Underwriter will be liable in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or through the Representative specifically for use thereof, which information is limited to that set forth in Section 13. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 8, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing. No indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or (b) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as provided in this Section 8(c) if the party to whom notice was not given was unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice, but the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than on account of the provisions of Section 8(a) or (b). In case any such proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay as incurred the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall pay as incurred (or within 30 days of presentation) the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of commencement of the action. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by you in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a) and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, the indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party

18




to such claim, action or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the Offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts, commissions and fees received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts, commissions and fees applicable to the Shares purchased by such Underwriter and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
(e) In any proceeding relating to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment thereto, each party against whom contribution may be sought under this Section 8 hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the City and County of New York, Borough of Manhattan, agrees that process issuing from such court may be served upon it by any other contributing party and consents to the service of such process and agrees that any other contributing party may join it as an additional defendant in any such proceeding in which such other contributing party is a party.
(f) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 8 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter, the Company, its directors or officers or any persons controlling the Company, (ii) acceptance of any Shares and payment therefor hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to any Underwriter, or any person controlling any Underwriter, or to the Company, its directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 8.

9.
Default by Underwriters.
If on the Closing Date, any Underwriter shall fail to purchase and pay for the portion of the Shares which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase and pay for on such date (otherwise than by reason of any default on the part of the Company), you as Representative of the Underwriters, shall use your reasonable efforts to procure within 36 hours thereafter one or more other underwriters, to purchase from the Company such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms set forth herein, the Shares which the defaulting Underwriter failed to purchase. If during such 36 hours you, as such Representative, shall not have procured such other underwriters to purchase the Shares agreed to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter, then (a) if the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such default shall occur does not exceed 10% of the Shares to be purchased on the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter failed to purchase, or (b) if the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such default shall occur exceeds 10% of the Shares to be purchased on the Closing Date , the Company or you, as the Representative of the Underwriters, will have the right, by written notice given within the next 36-hour period to the parties to this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters or of the Company except to the extent provided in Sections 5 and 8 hereof. In the event of a default by any Underwriter, as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date, may be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as you, as the Representative, may determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. The term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter. Any action taken under this Section 9 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
 
 
10.
NOTICES.
All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and, except as otherwise provided herein, will be mailed, delivered, telecopied or telegraphed and confirmed as follows: (i) if to the Underwriters, to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., 60 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005; Attention: ECM Syndicate, with a copy to Underwriters’ Counsel at Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, 80 Pine Street, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Brian Kelleher, Esq.; and (ii) if to the Company, to Kim Sinatra, Esq., and its counsel at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP at the addresses set forth in the Registration Statement.
 
 
11.
TERMINATION.
This Agreement may be terminated by you: (a) by notice to the Company at any time prior to the Closing Date if any of the following has occurred: (i) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any Material Adverse Change or any development that could, in your judgment, be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or declaration of war or national emergency or other national or international calamity or crisis or change in economic or political conditions if the effect of such outbreak, escalation, declaration, emergency, calamity, crisis or change on the financial markets of the United States would, in your reasonable judgment, make it impracticable or inadvisable to market the Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, (iii) suspension of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Select Market or limitation on prices (other than limitations on hours or numbers of days of trading) for securities on any such Exchange, (iv) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or other governmental authority which in your opinion materially and adversely affects or may materially and adversely affect the business or operations of the Company, (v) the declaration of a banking moratorium by United States or New York State authorities, (vi) any downgrading, or placement on any watch list for possible downgrading, in the rating of any of the Company’s debt securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Exchange Act); (vii) the suspension of trading of the Company’s Common Stock by the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Commission, or any other governmental authority or, (viii) the taking of any action by any governmental body or agency in respect of its monetary or fiscal affairs which in your reasonable opinion has a

20




material adverse effect on the securities markets in the United States; or (b) as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement.
 
 
12.
SUCCESSORS.
This Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and assigns, and the officers, directors and controlling persons referred to herein, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. No purchaser of any of the Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign merely because of such purchase.
 
 
13.
INFORMATION PROVIDED BY UNDERWRITER.
The Company and the Underwriters acknowledge and agree that the only information furnished or to be furnished by any Underwriter to the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus consists of the information set forth in the eighth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” in the Prospectus.
 
 
14.
PARTIAL ENFORCEABILITY.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable and to effect the original intent of the parties hereto.
 
 
15.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The reimbursement, indemnification and contribution agreements contained in this Agreement and the representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of (a) any termination of this Agreement, (b) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or controlling person thereof, or by or on behalf of the Company or its directors or officers and (c) delivery of and payment for the Shares under this Agreement.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Underwriter in providing investment banking services to the Company in connection with the offering, including in acting pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, has acted and is acting as an independent contractor and not as a fiduciary and the Company does not intend such Underwriter to act in any capacity other than as an independent contractor, including as a fiduciary or in any other position of higher trust.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
 
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, including, without limitation, Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.

As Representative of the
several Underwriters
c/o Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. 60 Wall Street, 2nd Floor
New York, NY 10005
Re: Wynn Resorts, Limited – Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Wynn Resorts, Limited, a Nevada corporation (“Company”), in connection with the sale to you and the several underwriters for whom you are acting as representative (you and such other underwriters, the “Underwriters”) by the Company of 5,300,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 8, 2016 (Registration No. 333-214505) (as so filed and as amended, the “Registration Statement”), a base prospectus dated November 8, 2016 included as part of the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), a prospectus supplement dated March 22, 2018 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (the “Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”) and an underwriting agreement, dated March 22, 2018 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between you, as representative of the several Underwriters, and the Company. The reports and proxy statement filed by the Company with the Commission and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, are herein called the “Incorporated Documents.” References herein to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus exclude the Incorporated Documents. This letter is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Underwriting Agreement.
As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter, except where a specific fact confirmation procedure is stated to have been performed (in which case we have with your consent performed the stated procedure). We have examined, among other things, the following:
(a)
the Underwriting Agreement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and the Incorporated Documents; and





(c)
the written agreements and instruments listed on Schedule A hereto (the “Specified Agreements”).
Except as otherwise stated herein, as to factual matters, we have, with your consent, relied upon the foregoing and oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company, and others, including the representations and warranties of the Company in the Underwriting Agreement and a certificate as to the value of investment securities and other assets of the Company and other matters related to our opinion in numbered paragraph 2. We have not independently verified such factual matters.
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including any endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.
Except as otherwise stated herein, we are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction only of the federal laws of the United States and the internal laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of New York, any other laws, as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. Our opinions are based upon our consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to registered public offerings of common stock. Various matters concerning Nevada law are addressed in the letter of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, which has been separately provided to you. We express no opinion with respect to those matters, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters. Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, as of the date hereof:
1.    The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company to you and the other Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement do not on the date hereof:
(i)    result in the breach of or a default under any of the Specified Agreements;
(ii)    violate any federal or New York statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company; or
(iii)    require any consents, approvals, or authorizations to be obtained by the Company from, or any registrations, declarations or filings to be made by the Company with, any governmental authority under any federal or New York statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company that have not been obtained or made.
2.    The Company is not and, immediately after giving effect to the sale of the Shares in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and the application of the proceeds as described in










the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds,” will not be required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
3.    The Registration Statement has become effective under the Act. With your consent, based solely on a review of a list of stop orders on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/stoporders.shtml on April 3, 2018, we confirm that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Act and no proceedings therefor have been initiated by the Commission. The Prospectus has been filed in accordance with Rule 424(b) and 430B under the Act.
4.    The Registration Statement, at March 22, 2018, including the information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B under the Act, and the Prospectus, as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement, each appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable form requirements for registration statements on Form S-3 under the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; it being understood, however, that we express no view with respect to Regulation S‑T or the financial statements, schedules, or other financial data, included in, incorporated by reference in, or omitted from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. For purposes of this paragraph, we have assumed that the statements made in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus are correct and complete.
Our opinions are subject to: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, preference, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; and (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.
We express no opinion or confirmation as to federal or state securities laws (except as expressly set forth in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 as to federal securities laws), tax laws (except as set forth in our letter to you of even date with respect to certain tax matters), gaming laws and regulations, antitrust or trade regulation laws, insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, antifraud laws, compliance with fiduciary duty requirements, pension or employee benefit laws, usury laws, environmental laws, margin regulations, laws and regulations relating to commodities trading, futures and swaps; Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules; National Futures Association rules; or the rules of any stock exchange, clearing organization, designated contract market or other regulated entity for trading, processing, clearing or reporting transactions in securities, commodities, futures or swaps, export control, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism laws, and laws governing foreign investments in the United States (without limiting other laws or rules excluded by customary practice).
Insofar as our opinions require interpretation of the Specified Agreements, with your consent, (i) we have assumed that courts of competent jurisdiction would enforce such agreements in accordance with their plain meaning, (ii) to the extent that any questions of legality or legal construction have arisen in connection with our review, we have applied the laws of the State of New York in resolving such questions, although the Specified Agreements may be governed by other laws which differ from New York law, (iii) we express no opinion with respect to any breach or default under a Specified Agreement that would occur only upon the happening of a contingency









and (iv) we express no opinion with respect to any matters which would require us to perform a mathematical calculation or make a financial or accounting determination.
This letter is furnished only to you in your capacity as representative of the several Underwriters in their capacity as underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement and is solely for the benefit of the Underwriters in connection with the transactions referenced in the first paragraph. This letter may not be relied upon by you or the other Underwriters for any other purpose, or furnished to, assigned to, quoted to, or relied upon by any other person, firm or other entity for any purpose (including any person, firm or other entity that acquires the Shares or any interest therein from you or the other Underwriters) without our prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in our sole discretion.
Very truly yours,

[DRAFT]

6.The statements made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (the “Annual Report”), under the captions “Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Business – We are subject to extensive state and local regulation, and licensing and gaming authorities have significant control over our operations. The cost of compliance or failure to comply with such regulations and authorities could have a negative effect on our business.”, “Risk Factors – Risks Associated with our Macau Operations – Certain Nevada gaming laws apply to our Macau Operations' gaming activities and associations” and “Business – Regulation and Licensing – Nevada”, and the description of the Company’s capital stock set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A, as filed with the Commission on October 7, 2002, which is incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (the “Company’s Form 8-A”), have been reviewed by us and, insofar as such statements purport to constitute summaries of matters of Nevada law or documents governed by Nevada law, such statements are fair summaries thereof in all material respects.

2. ASSUMPTIONS
The opinions given in this Opinion Letter are given on the basis of the following assumptions, and we have no reason to believe otherwise:
2.1
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the original documents of those submitted to us as certified copies or scan copies thereof;
2.2
that (i) the information disclosed by the searches made is true and complete as at the date which such searches relate to and that (ii) such information has not since that date been altered and that (iii) such searches did not fail to disclose any data which had been delivered for filing prior to that date; and
2.6
all signatures, stamps and seals are genuine, all original documents are authentic and all copy documents are complete and conform to the originals.
3. OPINION
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that:
(1)
Each of the Macau Subsidiaries is duly incorporated and duly organized as a company and is validly existing under the laws of the Macau SAR, has full corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association.
(2)
The Concession Agreement is in full force and effect and, to our knowledge after due inquiry, we are not aware of any breach or non-compliance by WRM of any agreement or provisions of the laws of the Macau SAR that may adversely affect its rights under and pursuant to the Concession Agreement.
(3)
The records kept by the Companies Registry show that each of the Macau Subsidiaries is in good standing and, to our knowledge after due inquiry, no matters things or actions with respect to such entity of a kind or category that should be entered in the register of such entity (whether










or not capable of causing any current entry in such register to be amended, cancelled or annulled or such entity to be struck off such register) has gone unregistered.
(4)
The records kept by the Land Registry show that WRM has legal and valid title to Wynn Macau. Wynn Macau stands on a piece of land described at the Land Registry of Macau under n.º 23137 that is held by WRM by virtue of a land concession granted to WRM by the Macau SAR under Dispatch of the Secretary for Transport and Public Works of the Government of the Macau SAR n.º 81/2004 published in the Official Gazette dated 11 August 2004 as amended by Dispatch n.º 58/2009 published in the Official Gazette dated 30 December 2009 (the “Wynn Macau Land Concession"). Wynn Macau and the rights of WRM under the Wynn Macau Land Concession are mortgaged to secure indebtedness under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. Apart from such mortgage, Wynn Macau and the rights of WRM under the Wynn Macau Land Concession are free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, claims, defects, options and restrictions. To our knowledge after due inquiry, no matters things or actions with respect to Wynn Macau or the Wynn Macau Land Concession of a kind or category that should be entered in the respective register (whether or not capable of causing any current entry in such register to be amended, cancelled or annulled) has gone unregistered.
(5)
The records kept by the Land Registry show that Palo has legal and valid title to Wynn Palace. Wynn Palace stands on a piece of land described at the Land Registry of Macau under n.º 23305 pursuant to a land concession granted to Palo by the Macau SAR under dispatch of the Secretary for Transport and Public Works of the Government of the Macau SAR n.º 16/2012 published in the Official Gazette dated 2 May 2012 (the “Wynn Palace Land Concession”). The rights of Palo under the Wynn Palace Land Concession and its title to Wynn Palace are mortgaged to secure indebtedness under the Wynn Macau Credit Facilities. Apart from such mortgage, Wynn Palace and the rights of Palo under the Wynn Palace Land Concession are free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, claims, defects, options and restrictions. To our knowledge after due inquiry, no matters things or actions with respect to Wynn Palace or the Wynn Palace Land Concession of a kind or category that should be entered in the respective register (whether or not capable of causing any current entry in such register to be amended, cancelled or annulled) has gone unregistered.
(6)
No governmental authorization of the government of the Macau SAR is required for the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Shares by the Company to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement.










(7)
The statements in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, insofar as such statements summarize provisions of the laws of the Macau SAR and the Concession Agreement, are accurate and fair descriptions and summaries in all material respects.
4. RESERVATIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS
All searches referred to in Schedules 1 and 2 to this Opinion Letter were conducted not by us but by the relevant agencies at our request.
