THIS
SECOND AMENDMENT TO DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR EXECUTIVES (this “Second Amendment”) is made and
entered into as of the 7th day of November, 2007, by STATION CASINOS, INC., a Nevada
corporation, with its principal offices located at 1505 South Pavilion Center
Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada  89135 (the “Company”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company
adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives, originally effective as of November 30, 1994, amended
and restated as of September 12, 2001 and further amended as of December 4,
2002 (the “Plan”);
and


 


WHEREAS, the Company
now desires to amend the Plan as provided herein.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, effective as of November 7, 2007, the Plan is amended as follows:


 


1.             Section 2(d) of the Plan is hereby amended
in full to read as follows:


 


“(d)         “Change
of Control” shall mean the following: 
(A) prior to the occurrence of an Initial Public Offering, the
consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or
consolidation) as a result of which any “person” or “group” (in each case, as
such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the “Exchange Act”)), other than any Member of Fertitta Colony Partners LLC, a
Nevada limited liability company (“Parent”) who is an Existing Equity Holder or
Permitted Transferee  of such a Member of
Parent, or an Affiliate thereof, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term
is defined in rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more
than fifty percent (50%) of the total issued and outstanding Class A Units
and Class B Units of Parent; (B) after the occurrence of an Initial
Public Offering, the consummation of any transaction (including, without
limitation, any merger or consolidation) as a result of which any person or
group, other than a Member of Parent who is an Existing Equity Holder or
Permitted Transferee of such a Member of Parent, or any Affiliate thereof,
becomes the beneficial owner of more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the
total issued and outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the IPO Corporation; or
(C) the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than
by way of merger or consolidation) in one or a series of related transactions,
of more than fifty percent (50%) (as measured by fair market value at the time
of transfer) of the assets of the Company to any person (other than the Company
or a Company subsidiary), other than (x) any Member of Parent on the date
hereof or Permitted Transferee of such a Member of Parent or Affiliate thereof
or (y) as part of any financing transaction engaged in by the Company or a
Company subsidiary.  In addition, no
Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of any
reorganization of or similar transaction engaged in by the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company (including in respect of an 


 

















 


Initial Public Offering).  The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by that Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated February 23, 2007, and amended as of May 4, 2007, among Parent,
FCP Acquisition Sub, a Nevada corporation, and the Company shall not constitute
a “Change of Control” hereunder.  For
purposes of this definition, the terms “Initial Public Offering” and “Permitted
Transferee” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Second Amended
and Restated Operating Agreement of Parent dated of even date herewith, by and
among FC Investor, LLC, FCP Class B Holdco LLC, Frank J. Fertitta III, Lorenzo
J. Fertitta and the other members party thereto.  For purposes of this definition, (1) “Affiliate”
shall mean any individual, firm, partnership, association, trust, company,
corporation or other entity (“Person”) controlling, controlled by or under
common control with the Company; (2) “Existing Equity Holder” shall mean (a)
the affiliates of Colony Capital, LLC, including FC Investor, LLC and its
affiliated funds and controlled accounts and (b) Frank J. Fertitta III, Blake
L. Sartini, Delise F. Sartini, Lorenzo J. Fertitta, Scott M Nielson, William W.
Warner and Richard J. Haskins, and their executors, administrators or the legal
representatives of their estates, their heirs, distributees and beneficiaries,
and any trust as to which any of the foregoing is a settlor or co-settlor and
any corporation, partnership or other entity which is an Affiliate of any of
the foregoing, and any lineal descendants of such persons (but only to the
extent that the beneficial ownership of the Class A Units and/or Class B
Units of Parent held by such lineal descendants was directly received by gift,
trust or sale from any such person); (3) “IPO Corporation” shall mean the
Company (or Affiliate thereof) which is the issuer of the equity interests
offered and sold in the Initial Public Offering; and (4) “Voting Stock” shall
mean capital stock or other equity interests of any class or classes whose
holders are entitled under ordinary circumstances (irrespective of whether at
the time stock or other equity interests of any other class or classes shall
have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency)
to vote for the election of a majority of the directors, managers, trustees or
other governing body of such Person.”


2.             Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Second
Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.


 


3.             Except as expressly amended by this Second Amendment,
all other terms and provisions of the Plan shall remain unaltered, are hereby
reaffirmed, and shall continue in full force and effect.


 


4.             This Second Amendment may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one
and the same document, with the same effect as if all parties had signed on the
same page.
