contract mandatory overtime

When I started with this company I was given an Offer Letter to sign upon coming on board. In the contract it was said that I had an 'annualized salary' of $X for working 40 hrs regular pay and 10 hrs of overtime a week. A total of (5) five days work with 10 hrs each. My GM has consistently asked me to come in early and close every night. Right now I'm working 55-60 hrs a week. Upper management is saying that during the holidays it can push up into the 70-80 hrs a week range. Is that overtime an obligation on my end because of my employment? Or can I work my 50 hrs a week an that be it? I took this job for more home/work life balance. At this point I'm not getting it. Any help would be appreciated.
