 ARTICLE 4. PARTICIPATION 
  
 Section 4.1. Election to Participate. Annually, all Eligible Employees will be offered the opportunity to defer Base Salary
and/or Bonus Compensation payable for services performed in the following Plan Year. Any Eligible Employee may enroll in the Plan effective as of the first day of a Plan Year by filing a completed and fully executed Enrollment Agreement with the
Committee prior to the beginning of such Plan Year. Pursuant to said Enrollment Agreement, the Eligible Employee shall elect (a) the percentage, in a whole percentage up to 80%, of Base Salary and/or up to 100% of Bonus Compensation (in each case
after required payroll tax deductions and prior to deferral hereunder) may be taken from subsequent payments of Base Salary and/or Bonus Compensation payable for services performed during the Plan Year and deferred hereunder, (b) the Distribution
Option Accounts to which such amounts will be credited, and (c) shall provide such other information as the Committee shall require. The Committee may permit a separate election with respect to Base Salary up to the Social Security Wage Base for the
year, Base Salary between the Social Security Wage Base and that year’s Code section 401(a)(17) limit and Base Salary in excess of the latter. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any election by a Participant to defer Base
Salary or Bonus Compensation for any Plan Year by less than 2%, or such other amount as the Committee may determine from time to time, shall not be given effect. 
  
 Section 4.2. New Eligible Employees. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit Employees who first become Eligible
Employees after the beginning of a Plan Year to enroll in the Plan for that Plan Year by filing a completed and fully executed Enrollment Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.1, provided that the election is made no later than 30 days following
the date the Employee becomes an Eligible Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, any election by an Eligible Employee, pursuant to this section, to defer Base Salary and/or Bonus Compensation shall apply only to such amounts for services
performed by the Eligible Employee after the date on which such Enrollment Agreement is filed. 
  
 Section 4.3. Matching Contributions. An Eligible Employee who elects to participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 4.1 and/or Section 4.2 shall be eligible to receive Matching Contributions by Universal
City Development Partners Ltd. The amount of such Matching Contributions for a Plan Year shall be (i) 100% of the amount deferred under this Plan, but not to exceed 3% of the excess of the Participant’s Base Salary for the Plan Year plus Bonus
Compensation paid during the Plan Year over $170,000 (or such other amount specified in Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17)); plus (ii) 50% of additional deferrals not to exceed an additional 2% of the excess of the Participant’s Base
Salary for the Plan Year plus Bonus Compensation paid during the Plan Year over $170,000 (or such other amount specified in 401(a)(17); plus (iii) 4% of the amount deferred under this Plan to the extent that such deferral reduces the
Participant’s considered compensation for purposes of the Universal Orlando 401(K) Retirement Plan; but (iv) during the period, if any, in which he is not eligible for the Company’s 401(k) plan, Matching Contributions of the Company will
be 100% of the Eligible Employee’s deferral under this Plan, not to exceed 3% of his Compensation for the Period plus 50% of additional deferrals for the period not to exceed an additional 2% of his Compensation for that period.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Matching Contributions will only be made if the Company has sufficient current operating
or accumulated net income. Matching Contributions will be credited to the Distribution Option Account to which the matched Base Salary or Bonus Compensation deferrals are credited. Matching Contributions will be credited as frequently as determined
by the Committee but in any event at least once per year. Matching Contributions will be credited as soon as practicable in the Participant’s final year of Participation. 
  
 Section 4.4. Vesting. All contributions to the Plan, whether Base Salary Deferrals, Bonus Compensation Deferrals or Matching
Contributions, as well as all earnings thereon, will always be immediately 100% vested, and not subject to forfeiture for any reason. (Negative earnings are not considered a forfeiture.) 
  
 Section 4.5. 2005 Deferral Election Cancellation. At any time prior to December 1, 2005, a Participant will have the
opportunity to cancel, in whole or in part, his deferral election previously filed with respect to amounts deferred during 2005 or which relate to bonuses paid in 2006 for services performed in 2005. With respect to deferrals so cancelled, amounts
previously deferred shall be refunded to the Participant, together with earnings credited thereon, and such payments shall be made and taxable to the Participant no later than December 31, 2005. Amounts not yet deferred that are subject to the
cancellation shall instead by paid, and taxed, to the Participant at the time payment would have been made absent the original election to defer. A cancellation, once made, is not subject to further cancellation or revocation.

 ARTICLE 5. DISTRIBUTION OPTION ACCOUNTS 
  
 Section 5.1. Distribution Option Accounts. The Committee shall establish and
maintain Distribution Option Accounts with respect to each Participant. A Participant’s Distribution Option Accounts shall consist of the Retirement Distribution Account and/or one or more In-Service Distribution Option Accounts. The amount of
Base Salary and/or Bonus Compensation deferred pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 shall be credited by the Company to the Participant’s Distribution Option Account no later than the first day of the month following the month in which such
Base Salary and/or Bonus Compensation would otherwise have been paid, in accordance with the Distribution Option irrevocably elected by the Participant in the Enrollment Agreement. Any amount once taken into account as Base Salary and/or Bonus
Compensation for purposes of this Plan shall not be taken into account thereafter. Matching Contributions, when credited, are credited to the Distribution Option Accounts in the same proportion as the Base Salary and/or Bonus Compensation they
match. The Participant’s Distribution Option Accounts shall be reduced by the amount of payments made by the Company to the Participant or the participant’s Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan. 
  
 Section 5.2. Earnings on Distribution Option Accounts. A Participant’s
Distribution Option Accounts shall be credited with earnings in accordance with the Earnings Crediting Options elected by the Participant from time to time. Participants may allocate each of their Retirement Distribution Accounts and/or In-Service
Distribution Accounts among the Earnings Crediting Options available under the Plan only in whole percentages of not less than five (5) percent. The rate of return, positive or negative, credited under each Earnings Crediting Option is based upon
the actual investment performance of the corresponding investment of such investment fund as the Company may designate from time to time, and shall equal the total return of such investment fund net of asset based charges, including, without
limitation, money management fees, fund expenses and mortality and expense risk insurance contract charges. The Company reserves the right, on a prospective basis, to add or delete Earnings Crediting Options. 
  
 Section 5.3. Earnings Crediting Options. Notwithstanding that the rates of
return credited to Participants’ Distribution Option Accounts under the Earnings Crediting Options are based upon the actual performance of the corresponding portfolios of such investment funds as the Company may designate, the Company shall
not be obligated to invest any Base Salary and/or Bonus Compensation deferred by Participants under this Plan, Matching Contributions, or any other amounts, in such portfolios or in any other investment funds. 
  
 Section 5.4. Changes in Earnings Crediting Options. A Participant may change
the Earnings Crediting Options to which his Distribution Option Accounts are allocated not more frequently than four (4) times per Plan Year. Each such change may include (a) reallocation of the Participant’s existing Accounts in whole
percentages of not less than five (5) percent, and/or (b) change in investment allocation of amounts to be credited to the Participant’s Accounts in the future, as the Participant may elect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the event
the Company deletes an Earnings Crediting Option, a Participant whose Accounts are allocated 
  

 -8- 

 to such Earnings Crediting Option, in whole or in part, shall be entitled to reallocate his Distribution Option Accounts
and/or any amounts to be credited in the future to such Distribution Option Accounts among the remaining Earnings Crediting Options, at the time of such deletion, without regard to the annual limit of four (4) such changes. 
  
 Section 5.5. Valuation of Accounts. The value of a Participant’s
Distribution Option Accounts as of any date shall equal the amounts theretofore credited to such Accounts, including any earnings (positive or negative) deemed to be earned on such accounts in accordance with Section 5.2 through the day preceding
such date, less the amounts theretofore deducted from such Accounts. 
  
 Section 5.6. Statement of Accounts. The Committee shall provide to each Participant, not less frequently than quarterly, a statement in such form as the Committee deems desirable setting forth the balance standing to the
credit of each Participant in each of his Distribution Option Accounts. 
  
 Section 5.7. Distributions from Accounts. Any distribution made to or on behalf of a Participant from one or more of his Distribution Option Accounts in an amount which is less than the entire balance of any such Account shall
be made pro rata from each of the Earnings Crediting Options to which such Account is then allocated. 
  

 -9- 

 ARTICLE 6. DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS 
  
 Section 6.1. Election of Distribution Option. In the Enrollment Agreement filed with the Committee prior to the beginning of
each Distribution Option Period, an Eligible Employee shall irrevocably allocate his deferrals and Matching Contributions between the Distribution Options in increments of ten (10) percent, provided, however that 100 percent of such deferrals and
Matching Contributions may be allocated to one or the other of the Distribution Options. 
  
 Section 6.2. Retirement Distribution Option. Subject to Section 7.1, distribution of the Participant’s Retirement Distribution Account for any Distribution Option Period shall commence upon (a) the
Participant’s Retirement, or (b) if later, the Participant’s attainment of age 65, as elected by the Participant in the Enrollment Agreement pursuant to which such Retirement Distribution Account was established. Once a Retirement
Distribution Option election is made, it may be modified by filing a subsequent written election, but any modification will be effective only: 
  
 (a) if it has been on file for at least 12 months, and 
  
 (b) it does not permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment under the Plan, and 
  
 (c) except in the case of payments contingent upon death, being Disabled or
due to Hardship, the first payment with respect to which the election is made must be at least 5 years later than the date the first payment would otherwise have been made. 
  
 Section 6.3. In-Service Distribution Option. Subject to Section 7.2, the Participant’s In-Service Distribution Account
for any Distribution Option Period shall be distributed commencing in the year elected by the Participant in the Enrollment Agreement pursuant to which such In-Service Distribution Account was established. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
Participant elects to receive a distribution of his In-Service Distribution Account for any Distribution Option Period commencing in a year which is within such Distribution Option Period, the Participant shall not be entitled to allocate any
additional deferrals and Matching Contributions to such In-Service Distribution Account after the date on which such Account is distributed. 
  
 Once during 2005, but no later than December 1, 2005, an In-Service Distribution Option election previously made for 2005 may be modified to specify a different date for
initial payment and/or a different payment schedule. After December 1, 2005, once an In-Service Distribution Option election is made, it may be modified by filing a subsequent written election, but any modification will be effective only:

  
 (a) if it has been on file for at least 12 months prior to
the January 1 of the calendar year in which the original initial payment was to have been made, and 
  
 (b) the first payment with respect to which the modified election is made must be at least 5 years later than the date the first payment would otherwise
have been made.

 ARTICLE 10. EARLY DISTRIBUTIONS 
  
 Section 10.1. Emergency Benefit 
  
 In the event that the Committee, upon written request of a Participant, determines, in its sole discretion, that the Participant has suffered an
unforeseeable financial emergency, the Company shall pay to the Participant from the vested portion of his Distribution Option Account, as soon as practicable following such determination, an amount necessary to meet the emergency, after deduction
of any and all taxes as may be required pursuant to Section 11.9 (the “Emergency Benefit”). For purposes of this Plan, an unforeseeable financial emergency is a severe financial hardship to the Participant arising from an illness or
accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or a dependent (within the meaning of Code section 152(a)) or the loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances
arising as a result of circumstances beyond the control of the Participant. Cash needs arising from foreseeable events such as the purchase of a house or education expenses for children shall not be considered to be the result of an unforeseeable
financial emergency. Emergency benefits may not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy the emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution. The amount necessary to relieve the distribution is
determined after taking into account any reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise and by liquidation of the Participant’s assets to the extent that the liquidation of assets would not itself cause financial hardship. Emergency
Benefits shall be paid first from the Participant’s In-Service Distribution Accounts, if any, to the extent the vested balance of one or more of such In-Service Distribution Accounts is sufficient to meet the emergency, in the order in which
such Accounts would otherwise be distributed to the Participant. If the distribution exhausts the vested In-Service Distribution Accounts, the vested Retirement Distribution Accounts may be accessed. With respect to that portion of any Distribution
Option Account which is distributed to a Participant as an Emergency Benefit, in accordance with this Article, no further benefit shall be payable to the Participant under this Plan. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, a
Participant who receives an Emergency Benefit in any Plan Year shall not be entitled to make any further deferrals for the remainder of such Plan Year. 
  

 -15- 

 ARTICLE 11. MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 Section 11.1. Amendment and Termination. The Plan may be amended, suspended, discontinued or terminated at any time by the
Company, or by any other entity authorized by the Company, provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension, discontinuance or termination shall accelerate, reduce or in any manner adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to
benefits that are payable or may become payable under the Plan based upon the balance of the Participant’s Accounts as of the effective date of such amendment, suspension, discontinuance or termination. 
  
 Section 11.2. Claims Procedure. 
  
 a. Claim 
  
 A person who believes that he is being denied a benefit to which he is
entitled under the Plan (hereinafter referred to as a “Claimant”) may file a written request for such benefit with the Benefits Department of the Company, setting forth his claim. 
  
 b. Claim Decision 
  
 Upon receipt of a claim, the Benefits Department of the Company shall advise
the Claimant that a reply will be forthcoming within ninety (90) days and shall, in face, deliver such reply within such period. The Benefits Department of the Company may, however, extend the reply period for an additional ninety (90) days for
reasonable cause. 
  
 If the claim is denied in whole or in part,
the Claimant shall be provided a written opinion, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth: 
  
 (a) The specific reason or reasons for such denial 
  
 (b) The specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which such denial is based; 
  
 (c) A description of any additional material or information necessary for the
Claimant to perfect his claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary; 
  
 (d) Appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review; and

 -16- 

 c. Request for Review 
  
 Within sixty (60) days after the receipt by the Claimant of the written opinion described above, the Claimant may request in
writing that the Committee review the determination of the Company. The Claimant or his duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the pertinent documents and submit issues and comment in writing for consideration by the Committee. If
the Claimant does not request a review of the initial determination within such sixty (60) day period, he shall be barred and estopped from challenging the determination. 
  
 d. Review of Decision 
  
 Within sixty (60) days after the Committee’s receipt of a request for review, it will review the initial determination. After considering all
materials presented by the Claimant, the Committee will render a written opinion, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth the specific reasons for the decision and containing specific references to the
pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which the decision is based. If special circumstances require that the sixty (60) day time period be extended, the Committee will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but
no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review. 
  
 Section 11.3. Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (which Beneficiary may be an entity other than a natural person) to receive any payments which may be made following the
Participant’s death. Such designation may be changed or canceled at any time without the consent of any such Beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Committee and shall not be effective
until received by the Committee, or its designee. If no Beneficiary has been named, or the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall have predeceased the Participant, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. If a Participant
designates more than one Beneficiary, the interests of such Beneficiaries shall be paid in equal shares, unless the Participant has specifically designated otherwise. 
  
 Section 11.4. Limitation of Participant’s Right. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed as conferring upon any
Participant any right to continue in the employment of the Company, nor shall it interfere with the rights of the Company to terminate the employment of any Participant and/or to take any personnel action affecting any Participant without regard to
the effect which such action may have upon such Participant as a recipient or prospective recipient of benefits under the Plan. 
  
 Section 11.5. No Limitation on Company Actions. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company from taking any action which is
deemed by it to be appropriate or in its best interest. No Participant, Beneficiary, or other person shall have any claim against the Company as a result of such action. 
  

 -17- 

 Section 11.6. Obligations to Company. If a Participant becomes entitled to a distribution of benefits under
the Plan, and if at such time the Participant has outstanding any debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount owing to the Company, then the Company may offset such amount owed to it against the amount of benefits otherwise
distributable. Such determination shall be made by the Committee. 
  
 Section
11.7. Nonalienation of Benefits. Except as expressly provided herein, no Participant or Beneficiary shall have the power or right to transfer (otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), alienate, or otherwise
encumber the Participant’s interest under the Plan. The Company’s obligations under this Plan are not assignable or transferable except to (a) any corporation or partnership which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets or (b) any corporation or partnership into which the Company may be merged or consolidated. The provisions of the Plan shall inure to the benefit of each Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators
or successors in interest. 
  
 Section 11.8. Protective Provisions.
Each Participant shall cooperate with the Company by furnishing any and all information requested by the Company in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, taking such physical examinations as the Company may deem necessary and taking
such other relevant action as may be requested by the Company. If a Participant refuses to cooperate, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Participant under the Plan, other than payment to such Participant of the then current balance
of the Participant’s Distribution Option Accounts in accordance with his prior elections. 
  
 Section 11.9. Withholding Taxes. The Company may make such provisions and take such action as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which the Company is required by any
law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether Federal, state or local, to withhold in connection with any benefits under the Plan, including, but not limited to, the withholding of appropriate sums from any amount otherwise payable to the
Participant (or his Beneficiary). Each Participant, however, shall be responsible for the payment of all individual tax liabilities relating to any such benefits. 
  
 Section 11.10. Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan of deferred
compensation for Participants. Benefits payable hereunder shall be payable out of the general assets of the Company, and no segregation of any assets whatsoever for such benefits shall be made. Not withstanding any segregation of assets or transfer
to a grantor trust, with respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights to assets that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. 
  
 Section 11.11. Severability. If any provision of this Plan is held
unenforceable, the remainder of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect without regard to such unenforceable provision and shall be applied as though the unenforceable provision were not contained in the Plan. 
  
 Section 11.12. Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws. 
  

 -18- 

 Section 11.13. Headings. Headings are inserted in this Plan for convenience of reference only and are to be
ignored in the construction of the provisions of the Plan. 
  
 Section
11.14. Gender. Singular and Plural. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may
read as the plural and the plural as the singular. 
  
 Section 11.15.
Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the Benefits Department, or to such other entity
as the Committee may designate from time to time. Such notice shall be deemed given as to the date of delivery, or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or Certification.
