FERTITTA ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
Effective January 1, 2018
Landry’s Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Management”) and each other Employer adopted a plan (the “Plan”), effective January 1, 2004, to provide benefits in the form of unfunded deferred compensation to a select group of management and highly compensated Employees and Directors who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and business success of the Company and the Employers. Management amended and restated the Plan in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (as hereinafter defined), effective January 1, 2009. Since 2009, Management and its Affiliates have undergone a series of organizational restructurings, such that, among other things, Ferttita Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”), a Texas corporation, became a parent entity of Landry’s, Inc. (formerly known as Landry’s Restaurants, Inc.) and Landry’s Management, L.P. The Company became the sponsor of the Plan in 2017 in connection with the latest restructuring transaction. The Company desires to amend and restate the Plan to reflect the effect of such restructurings effective January 1, 2018.
Purpose
The purpose of the amended and restated Plan is to provide specified benefits to a select group of management or highly compensated Employees and Directors who contribute materially to the continued growth, development and future business success of Fertitta Entertainment, Inc.., a Texas corporation, and its subsidiaries, if any, that are participating employers in this Plan. The provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted in accordance with the requirements of Code section 409A and the Final Treasury Regulations thereunder, it being the intent of the parties that the Plan shall be in compliance with the requirements of said Code section and said Regulations. In order to transition to the requirements of Code section 409A and related Treasury Regulations, the Committee may make available to Participants certain transition relief provided under Notice 2006-79, as described more fully in Appendix A of this Plan.
