ARTICLE III

ELECTIONS





3.1 Election of Director to Defer Director Payments.

Director Payments on or prior to December 31 of the calendar year prior to the calendar year for
which such Director Payments would be earned.



(b) Amount Eligible for Deferral. As of the Effective Date, a Participant may elect
to defer up to 100% of his Director Payments. The Committee may change the amount that may be
deferred in respect of any Plan Year at any time, or from time to time.



3.2 Special Rule. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1(a), a Participant who
has not previously been eligible to participate in another elective deferred compensation plan
(that would be treated as the same type of plan as the Plan for purposes of Section 409A) may make
an initial deferral election under the Plan in accordance with the other provisions of Section 3.1,
as applicable, within 30 calendar days of first becoming eligible to participate under the Plan;
provided, however, that in such event such deferral elections shall apply only to Director Payments
that are earned after the date of such election.



3.3 Elections as to Time and Form of Payment. At the time of making an election to
defer Director Payments, the Participant shall make an election regarding the time and form of
payment of the Director Payments deferred for that Plan Year (including earnings and losses
attributable thereto).



(a) Elections as to Time. A Participant shall elect to receive a distribution of his
or her Director Payments to be deferred for a Plan Year (and all earnings and losses attributable
thereto) (i) on an In-Service Distribution Date, (ii) on a Separation from Service Distribution
Date or (iii) a portion on an In-Service Distribution Date and a portion on a Separation from
Service Distribution Date; provided, however, that a Participant’s In-Service
Distribution Date may be no earlier than three years following the date on which the deferral of
Director Payments is made.



(b) Elections as to Form. A Participant shall elect the form of the distribution of
his or her Director Payments, whether in a lump sum payment or in annual installments. If no such
election is made, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to receive payment in a lump sum.

Participant’s election to receive payment in installments is subject to the terms of Article VI.



(c) Application of Election. An election as to time and form of payment made with

the calendar year for which such Director Payments are deferred.



(e) Subsequent Changes in Time and Form of Payment. A Participant may delay the
timing of a previously-scheduled payment or may change the form of a payment only if such
subsequent deferral election meets all of the following requirements:



(i) the subsequent deferral election shall not take effect until at least 12 months after the

date the first payment in such installment was scheduled to be made; and



(iii) the subsequent deferral election must delay the payment for at least five years from the
date the payment would otherwise have been made. For installment payments, the delay is measured
from the date the first payment was scheduled to be made.



A Participant may make only one subsequent change with respect to deferrals made for a
specific Plan Year.



(f) Manner of Election. As determined by the Committee, initial elections and
subsequent elections, if any, may be made in writing or through an electronic medium such as a
website enrollment window or through an email enrollment form or as otherwise specified by a Plan
Administrator, or through such other method determined by the Committee, provided that there is
sufficient record of when such election is made.



3.4 Elections as to Deemed Investment Choices.



(a) Prior to the date on which the actual deferral of Director Payments in respect of a Plan
Year is made by the Company, a Participant shall make an election regarding how such Director
Payments shall be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the amount of earnings or
losses to be credited to the Participant’s Accounts. If no such election is made in respect of
Director Payments deferred in any Plan Year, then (i) the Participant shall be deemed to have made
the same election made by such Participant in respect of the most recent Plan Year in which there
was a deferral of Director Payments and (ii) if no election contemplated by clause (i) has been
made, the deferred Director Payments shall be deemed invested in a default Fund selected by the
Committee from time to time.

(b) The Committee shall identify the Funds periodically made available for the notional
investment of Accounts, and shall periodically communicate the
available Funds to Participants. The Committee may alter, modify, eliminate or replace any
Funds and, if it does so, it may provide affected Participants a different and/or modified Fund in
place of the Fund being altered, modified, eliminated or replaced. Participants shall be allowed
to select the Funds in which their Accounts will be deemed invested, and the portion of each
Account deemed invested in each selected Funds, by communicating such selection to the Company or
Plan Administrator in such form as shall be determined by the Committee. The Participants shall be
allowed to make the selection described in the preceding sentence as frequently as daily, unless
the Committee determines otherwise, provided that any change in a selected Fund shall not be
effective until the date prescribed by the Committee in accordance with such administrative
procedures as the Committee establishes from time to time in its sole discretion. The Committee
shall establish from time to time and communicate to Participants a default Fund in which the
Accounts of a Participant who does not select one or more Funds shall be deemed invested.



ARTICLE IV

DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS




4.1 Deferral Subaccount. The Company or Plan Administrator shall establish and
maintain a Deferral Subaccount for each Participant under the Plan. Each Participant’s Deferral
Subaccount shall be further divided into separate subaccounts (“investment fund subaccounts”), each
of which corresponds to a Fund elected by the Participant. A Participant’s Deferral Subaccount
shall be credited as follows:



(a) on the day the amounts are withheld and/or deferred from a Participant’s Director
Payments, with an amount equal to the Director Payments deferred by the Participant; and



(b) unless otherwise determined by the Committee, no less frequently than monthly to reflect
the equivalent of the earnings, gains and losses that the Deferral Subaccount would have
experienced had it actually been invested in the Funds chosen by the applicable Participant (or in
the default Fund, if and as applicable).



ARTICLE V

VESTING




5.1 Vesting. A Participant shall be 100% vested at all times in his or her Deferral

DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1 Distribution of Accounts While Still Performing Services or Upon
Separation from Service (if not a Specified Employee).



(a) Scheduled Distributions. In respect of all Distributable Amounts payable in a
lump sum on an In-Service Distribution Date, the value thereof shall be determined as of the last
day of the month prior to the month in which the In-Service Distribution Date occurs, and the
distribution thereof shall be made as soon as administratively possible (and in no event later than
90 days) thereafter. In respect of all Distributable Amounts payable in installments on an
In-Service Distribution Date, all installments shall be valued as of the last day of the month
prior to the month in which the In-Service Distribution Date occurs in each applicable year, and
the distribution thereof shall be made as soon as administratively practicable (and in no event
later than 90 days) thereafter.



(b) Separation from Service. In the event a Participant has a Separation from Service
prior to such Participant’s In-Service Distribution Date, and the Participant is not a “Specified
Employee” on the date of the Separation from Service, then (except as otherwise provided in Section
6.1(c)):




(i) Lump Sum. For Distributable Amounts for which the Participant has
elected (or be deemed to have elected) a lump sum, the value thereof shall be
determined as of the last day of the month prior to the month in which the
Separation from Service occurs, and the distribution thereof shall be made as soon
as administratively possible (and in no event later than 90 days) thereafter. If
(A) a Participant has made an irrevocable election to defer his or her Director
Payments, (B) such Director Payments are deferred after the Participant’s Account
has been distributed, and (C) the Participant had elected to receive a lump sum
distribution, then the additional Account balance shall be valued and distributed

each subsequent installment shall be valued as of the last day of February of each
of the following calendar years, and the distribution thereof shall be made as soon
as administratively possible (and in no event later than 90 days) thereafter. For
the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall two installments be paid in a
single calendar year. If (x) a Participant has made an irrevocable election to
defer his or her Director Payments, (y) such Director Payments are deferred after
the Participant’s Account has started to be distributed, and (z) the Participant
had elected to receive installment payments, the additional deferral shall be added
to the Participant’s balance in his or her Deferral Subaccount and shall be
distributed in accordance with the installment election.

deemed to have elected) a lump sum, the value thereof shall be determined as of the last day of the

Participant has made an irrevocable election to defer his or her Director Payments, (ii) such
Director Payments are deferred after the Participant’s Account has been distributed, and (iii) the
Participant had elected to receive a lump sum distribution, then the additional Account balance
shall be valued and distributed in the month immediately following the month in which the Director
Payments are deferred.



(2) Installment Payments. For Distributable Amounts for which the Participant has
elected installments, (i) the first installment shall be valued as of the last day of the sixth
month following the Separation from Service, and the distribution thereof shall be made as soon as
administratively possible (and in no event later than 90 days) thereafter, and (ii) each subsequent
installment shall be valued as of the last day of February of each of the following calendar years,
and the distribution thereof shall be made as soon as administratively possible (and in no event
later than 90 days) thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall two
installments be paid in a single calendar year. If (x) a Participant has made an irrevocable
election to defer his or her Director Payments, (y) such Director Payments are deferred after the
Participant’s Account has started to be distributed, and (z) the Participant had elected to receive
installment payments, the additional deferral shall be added to the Participant’s balance in his or
her Deferral Subaccount and shall be distributed in accordance with the installment election.

commencement of distribution of the Participant’s Account balance, the Participant’s Account
balance shall be distributed to the Participant in a lump sum as soon as administratively possible
(and in no event later than 90 days) after it has been determined that the Participant suffers from
a Disability. The value of the Participant’s Account shall be determined as of the date on which
it has been determined that the Participant suffers from a Disability.



6.3 Unforeseeable Emergency. A Participant shall be permitted to elect a distribution
from his or her Deferral Subaccount prior to the date the Accounts were otherwise to be distributed
in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, subject to the following restrictions:



(a) the election to take a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be made by
requesting such a distribution in writing to the Committee, including the amount requested and a
description of the need for the distribution;

distribution is on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency; and



(c) the Unforeseeable Emergency cannot be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation
by insurance or otherwise, (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the
liquidation of assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (iii) by cessation of
deferrals under this Plan.



The amount determined by the Committee as distributable due to an Unforeseeable Emergency
shall be paid within 30 days after the request for the distribution is approved by the Committee.
The value of the Participant’s Account shall be determined as of the date on which the distribution
request was made.



6.4 Valuation Date. In the event that any valuation date contemplated by Section 6.1,
Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 is not a business day, then the valuation date shall be the immediately
preceding business day.



6.5 Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI,
in the event that a Change in Control occurs that is also a “change in control” within the meaning
of Section 409A, the Participant’s Account balance shall be distributed to the Participant as soon
as administratively possible and in no event later than 14 days following the occurrence of the
Change in Control. The value of the Participant’s Account shall be determined as of the date on

all of the Company’s assets shall be, and remain, the general unpledged, unrestricted assets of the
Company. The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured
promise of the Company to pay money in the future, and the rights of the Participants and
Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors. It is the intention
of the Company that this Plan be unfunded for purposes of the Code and for purposes of Title I of
ERISA.



8.2 Restriction Against Assignment. The Company shall pay all amounts payable
hereunder only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or
corporation. No part of a Participant’s Accounts shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or
engagements of any Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall a
Participant’s Accounts be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other
legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate, anticipate,
sell, transfer, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any
manner whatsoever.

other compensation payable to the Participant (or Beneficiary) all taxes, if any, which are
required to be withheld by the Company or its subsidiaries in respect to such payment or this Plan.

the amount of cash sufficient to provide the amount of said taxes.



8.4 Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Compensation Committee
may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, except that no amendment,
modification, suspension or termination shall have any retroactive effect to reduce any amounts
allocated to a Participant’s Accounts. The Committee may also amend the Plan, provided that the
Committee may only adopt
amendments that (i) do not have a negative material financial impact on the Company or its
subsidiaries; or (ii) are required by tax or legal statutes, regulations or pronouncements.

8.5 Governing Law. Except to extent preempted by Federal law, this Plan shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada applicable to
contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Nevada, and, to the extent applicable, the
Nevada Gaming Laws, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.



8.6 Receipt or Release. Any payment to a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary
in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction
of all claims against the Committee and the Company and its subsidiaries. The Committee may
require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a
receipt and release to such effect.



8.7 Limitation of Rights and Service Relationship. Neither the establishment of the
Plan nor any modification thereof, nor the creating of any fund or account, nor the payment of any
benefits shall be construed as giving to any Participant, or Beneficiary or other person any legal
or equitable right against the Company or its subsidiaries except as provided in the Plan; and in
no event shall the terms of service relationship of any Participant be modified or in any way be
affected by the provisions of the Plan.

be taxable to a Participant under Section 409A, the Company may (i) adopt such amendments to the
Plan and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive
effect, that the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax
treatment of the benefits provided by the Plan and/or (ii) take such other actions as the Committee
determines necessary or appropriate to avoid or limit the imposition of an additional tax under
