</TABLE>

     This benefit shall be payable over 180 months commencing on the first day
     of the month following the Participant's retirement.

7.   RETIREE MEDICAL BENEFIT.  A Participant with at least fifteen years of
     credited service who retires from Harveys, on or after attaining age 60,
     and his or her spouse shall be eligible to receive Class I or Class II
     health care benefits under Harveys executive medical plan, as amended from
     time to time, during the period commencing with the Participant's
     retirement and ending with the conclusion of retirement benefits under this
     Plan.  Health care benefits will be provided under the same benefit class
     in which the Participant participated prior to retirement.  All health care
     benefits under this Plan shall be secondary to any other group health care
     plan or individual medical insurance policy providing health care coverage
     to the Participant or his or her spouse, or Medicare.  The Executive
     Medical plan can be modified from time to time.

8.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT PRIOR TO RETIREMENT.  A Participant who
     terminates employment with Harveys prior to normal or early retirement
     other than as a result of death, disability or termination for Cause shall
     be entitled at age 65 to receive a monthly retirement benefit based on the
     Schedule of Benefits in Section 5.  A Participant may elect to receive
     early retirement benefits prior to age 65, but not before age 60,
     consistent with section #6 of this document. 

     This benefit shall be payable over 180 months commencing on the first day
     of the month following the Participant's attainment of age 65.  In the
     event that a Participant's employment is terminated by Harveys for Cause,
     all rights under this Plan shall be forfeited and no payments shall be
     made.  "Cause" shall mean: (1) the willful and continued failure of the
     Participant to perform his or her duties other than such failure resulting
     from the Participant's incapacity due to physical or mental illness or
     injury; (2) the conviction of the Participant of 


<PAGE>

     a felony; and, (3) the willful engaging by the Participant in misconduct
     which is materially injurious to Harveys.

9.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AS A RESULT OF DISABILITY.  A Participant who
     terminates employment with Harveys as a result of total disability shall
     receive a monthly retirement benefit based on the Schedule of Benefits in
     section 5, payable over 180 months commencing on the first day of the sixth
     month following the Participant's termination of employment.  "Total
     Disability" shall mean a disability resulting from bodily injury or
     disease, which prevents the Participant from engaging for remuneration or
     profit in any and every occupation of business for which the Participant is
     reasonably suited by education, training, or experience.  The total and
     irrevocable loss of the sight of both eyes, or the use of both hands, both
     feet, or one hand and one foot shall be regarded as total disability. 
     Total disability shall be determined by Harveys who may consult with a
     physician and shall have the right to require a Participant to undergo
     physical examinations or such other examinations as may be required to
     determine total disability.

10.  DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT.  In the event of a Participant's death while in the
     employ of Harveys and prior to retirement, the Participant's beneficiaries
     shall receive a monthly retirement benefit based on the Schedule of
     Benefits in Section 5. 

11.  BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION.  A Participant may designate the beneficiary or
     beneficiaries who shall receive on or after his or her death, the benefits
     payable under this Plan.  Such designation shall be made by executing and
     filing with the Administrator the form prescribed for that purpose.  The
     Participant also may revoke or change, at any time and from time to time,
     any beneficiary designations previously made.  Such revocations and changes
     shall be made by executing and filing with the Administrator the form
     prescribed for that purpose.  If a Participant names a trust as
     beneficiary, a change in the identity of the trustees or in the instrument
     governing the trust shall not be deemed a change of beneficiary.  A
     designation, revocation, or change of beneficiaries shall be valid and
     effective only when received by the Administrator.  If a Participant fails
     to designate a beneficiary, upon the Participant's death, Harveys shall
     make any remaining payments under the Plan to the Participant's surviving
     spouse.  If the Participant is unmarried or the spouse does not survive the
     Participant, the payments shall be made to the Participant's surviving
     children, share and share alike.  If the Participant has no spouse or
     children surviving, the payments shall be made to the executor or
     administrator of the Participant's estate.  If a participant is married,
     the spouse must consent to the designation of any third party (not a
     spouse) as a beneficiary.

12.  LUMP SUM PAYMENTS.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Harveys may,
     in its sole discretion, in lieu of monthly payments pay the Participant or
     his or her beneficiary in a single payment in an amount equal to the lump
     sum present value of the Participant's benefit.  The lump sum present value
     shall equal the cost of purchasing an immediate annuity for the 

<PAGE>

     respective benefit period.  The cost of the annuity shall be determined by
     ascertaining the actual cost of obtaining such an annuity from three
     different well-established and separate life insurance companies and
     averaging the costs.

13.  FUNDING.  Harveys may acquire life insurance policies or other investments,
     in its sole discretion, to finance the benefits payable under this Plan. 
     Nothing contained in this Plan shall be construed as for providing for
     assets to be held in trust or escrow of any other form of asset segregation
     for the Participant or his or her beneficiary, the Participant's only
     interest being the right to receive benefits set forth in this Plan.  To
     the extent that the Participant or any other person acquires a right to
     receive benefits under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the
     right of any unsecured general creditor of Harveys.

14.  IMPACT ON OTHER PLANS.  This Plan shall replace all prior supplemental
     retirement plans or agreements entered into by the Participant and Harveys
     unless specifically provided otherwise. Those participants who were
     previously eligible under the seven (7) year vesting schedule shall
     continue to vest under that schedule. (see Addendum II)  By accepting
     participation in this Plan, the Participant waives all benefits and rights
     under any such prior plans or agreements.  This Plan shall not affect the
     Participant's rights under, or replace, Harveys Executive Medical Plan,
     401(k) Plan, Management Incentive Plan, Long-Term Incentive Plan, Stock
     Incentive Plan, Deferred Compensation Plan or other benefit plans, each of
     which shall remain in effect.

15.  RIGHT TO TERMINATE EMPLOYMENT.  This plan is not an employment contract
     between the participant and Harveys, nor shall it be deemed to be a
     guarantee of continued employment with Harveys.  Harveys shall continue to
     be allowed to terminate a participant's employment at will.

16.  NON-ASSIGNMENT.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, no
     benefits payable under the Plan or the right to receive future benefits may
     be anticipated, alienated, pledged, encumbered, or subject to any charge of
     legal process.

17.  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.  Harveys may amend the Plan in any manner by
     action of the Board; provided, however, that no amendment shall deprive any
     Participant of any benefit which has accrued or vested as of the date of
     adoption of such amendment.  Harveys may terminate the Plan at any time by
     action of the Board provided, however, that any benefits which have accrued
     shall be deemed vested as of the date of adoption of such termination and
     shall be payable under the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan.  

18.  EXCEPTIONS.  The President and Chief Executive Officer shall have the
     authority to selectively modify on a case-by-case basis the terms of the
     plan to facilitate the hiring and/or separation of key executives.  Once
     such modifications have been affected, the President and Chief Executive
     Officer will so advise the Board.

19.  ADMINISTRATION.  The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator.

20.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Plan shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws
     of the State of Nevada, as amended from time to time.

The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was originally authorized by the 
Board of Directors on the 25th day of October, 1990, and the plan was 
modified primarily with regard to the vesting period and eligibility for 
retiree medical coverage for new participants after June of 1994.  These 
modifications were approved on the 23rd day of June, 1994, and re-affirmed by 
the Board of Directors on the 27th day of October, 1994.  The plan was 
further modified to include only the Executive Committee and full/partially 
vested participants below the Executive Committee.  These modifications were 
approved by the Board of Directors on November 20, 1997.  The non-executive 
committee participants that qualify as full or partially vested are listed on
