********

5




Article III - Contributions

3.1
Participant Deferrals .

(a)
The Employer shall credit to the Compensation Deferral Account, Option Deferral Account or Share Deferral Account of a Participant an amount equal to the amount designated as the Participant's Deferral for that Plan Year as indicated in the Participant’s Deferral Election. Such amounts (Compensation, Share Awards or Options) shall not be made available to such Participant, except as provided in Article VI, and any such Deferrals shall reduce such Participant's Compensation, Option Awards or Share Awards in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Deferral Election; provided, however, that all such amounts shall be subject to the rights of the general creditors of the Employer as provided in Article IX.

(b)
Each Eligible Participant shall deliver a Deferral Election to the Administrator before any Deferrals can become effective.

(i)
In General . Subject to paragraph (iii) of this Section 3.1(b), with respect to any Compensation that is not Performance-Based Compensation (including a Bonus that is not Performance-Based Compensation), a Participant shall file a Deferral Election with the Administrator within the time period established by the Administrator, but in all events no later than the close of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the services to which the Deferral Election relates are to be performed; provided, however, that in the year in which an Employee is first eligible to participate, such Deferral Election shall be filed within thirty (30) days of the date on which an Employee is first eligible to participate and shall be effective with respect to Compensation related to services to be rendered after the election is effective, during the remainder of the calendar year.

(ii)
Performance-Based Compensation Deferral . With respect to Compensation that is Performance-Based Compensation, a Participant shall file a Deferral Election with the Administrator on or before the date that is six months before the end of the performance period.

(iii)
Legally-Binding Right . Notwithstanding paragraph (i) of this Section 3.1(b), if Compensation may be awarded to a Participant in a year following a year in which services are performed to which the Compensation may relate and the Participant has no legally binding right to such Compensation as of the end of the year in which the services are performed, a Deferral Election with respect to such Compensation shall be filed with the Administrator no later than the last day of the year prior to the year in which the legally binding right to such Compensation may arise.

(c)
The Deferral Election shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 3.1, designate the amount of cash Compensation, Option Awards and/or Share Awards to be deferred by the Participant. Upon making an initial Deferral Election, the Participant must also make an election regarding the time and form of payment of all amounts deferred under the Plan, in accordance with Section 6.3.


6



(d)
The maximum amount that may be deferred each Plan Year shall be established by the Administrator from time to time.

(e)
For each payroll period, the Employer shall withhold from that portion of a Participant’s Compensation, such Participant’s share of taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) and other applicable taxes that are required to be withheld with respect to (1) Cash Compensation Deferrals, and (2) Share Deferrals and/or Option Award Deferrals as they vest and become subject to FICA taxes and other withholding requirements (collectively, “Withholding Requirements”). To the extent that there is insufficient remaining cash Compensation otherwise due to the Participant to satisfy all applicable Withholding Requirements as they come due, the Employer reserves the right to reduce such Participant’s Deferrals to the extent necessary to satisfy such Withholding Requirements. In the event there is insufficient cash Compensation to satisfy all applicable Withholding Requirements as they come due, even after reducing a Participant’s Deferrals, such Participant shall be obligated to remit payment to the Employer, in such form as is acceptable to the Employer, sufficient to satisfy any remaining Withholding Requirements.

(f)
A Deferral Election relating to a Plan Year may not be modified or revoked once such Plan Year has commenced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Participant receives a distribution from the Plan due to Unforeseeable Emergency, the Participant’s Deferral Election shall be terminated as soon as administratively feasible following the distribution.

(g)
Any Option Award Deferrals or Share Deferrals shall remain subject to the forfeiture and transfer restriction provisions of the Share Incentive Plan, any other terms or conditions established by the Committee incident thereto or contained in the award. A Participant may not elect a Share Deferral Period ending prior to the latest date on which the shares subject to the Share Deferral vest under the terms of the Share Award or the provisions of the Share Incentive Plan. If an Option Award shall vest during the Option Deferral Period, a Participant, subject to any applicable securities law restrictions, may exercise such Option, with any proceeds from the sale of such exercise (or net proceeds in the case of a net exercise) credited to the Participant’s Account.

(h)
At the time of a Share Deferral election, a Participant shall have the right to elect that all or a stated percentage of dividends related to such Share Deferral also be deferred. Deferred dividends shall be distributed in accordance with a Participant’s Deferral Election in effect for Cash Compensation Deferrals in the case of dividends payable in cash or for Share Deferrals, in the case of dividends payable in shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to dividends that would otherwise be deferred after the Participant’s separation from service, such an election shall terminate as of the date of the Participant’s separation from service. If a dividend deferral is elected, any and all such dividends shall be paid by the Employer to the Trustee, and shall be held in trust and may be credited to the Cash Compensation Deferral Account or the Share Deferral Account, as appropriate. If, at the time of the Share Deferral election, a Participant does not elect such a dividend deferral, then all such dividends related to that Share Deferral Election shall be paid to the Participant, subject to applicable withholding.

3.2
Time of Contributions . Cash Compensation Deferrals shall be transferred to the Trust as soon as administratively feasible. The Employer shall also transmit at that time any necessary instructions regarding the allocation of such amounts among the Accounts of Participants. Any Option Deferral

7



or Share Deferral shall initially be accounted for by the Employer and shall be transferred to the Trustee at such time as the Employer shall, in its discretion, determine.

3.3
Form of Contributions . All Deferrals to the Trust shall be made in the form of cash or cash equivalents of US currency, Share Awards or Option Awards.

Article V - Accounts

5.1
Bookkeeping Accounts . The Administrator shall establish and maintain bookkeeping accounts in the name of each Participant. The Administrator shall maintain a Cash Compensation Deferral Account, Share Deferral Account and Option Deferral Account for each Participant.
 
5.1
Adjustment and Crediting of Accounts .

(a)
The Administrator shall adjust the amounts credited to each Participant's Account to reflect Deferrals, distributions, and the deemed investment experience of the Participant’s Investment Fund selections, and any other appropriate adjustments. Such adjustments shall be made as is administratively necessary in the discretion of the Administrator.

(b)
Subject to Section 5.3(c), the deemed investment experience credited to a Participant’s Cash Compensation Deferral Account and Share Deferral Account, to the extent diversified in accordance with Section 5.3(b), shall be determined on a periodic basis according to the earnings and losses of the Investment Fund selections made by the Participant. The earnings and losses will be determined as if the amounts credited to the Participant’s Accounts were actually invested in the Investment Fund selected. Participants may select one or more of the Investment Funds designated by the Administrator in whole percentages of the applicable Cash Compensation Deferral Account balance or Share Deferral Account balance, to the extent diversified. A Participant may change his or her selection of Investment Funds at such time and in such manner as the Administrator shall permit. An election shall be effective as soon as administratively feasible following the date of the change as indicated in writing by the Participant or such other means as the Administrator may approve.

5.3
Investment of Trust Assets.

(a)
Deferrals hereunder may, in the sole discretion of the Employer, be set aside in a Trust in order to facilitate the payments of benefits under this Plan. Any such Trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan as an unfunded plan. Under no circumstances shall any Participant have any preferential or secured right to or interest in any assets of such Trust, and the rights of each Participant (and if applicable, any beneficiary) shall remain that of a general creditor of the Employer.

(b)
A Participant may request, from time to time, that Trust assets attributable to his Cash Compensation Deferral Account be deemed to be invested in one or more Investment Funds. A Participant may also request, from time to time, that any portion or all of a grant of deferred shares held in his Share Deferral Account be deemed to be invested in one or more Investment Funds, subject to all of the following requirements.

(i)
Such an election may only be made with respect to a grant of deferred shares that has been held for at least six months past the date on which the entire grant became fully vested.

(ii)
Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of such a grant.

(iii)
Such elections may only be made during the time periods designated by the Administrator.

10




(iv)
Such an election shall have no effect on the scheduled date of distribution or form of distribution applicable to the shares to which the election applies.

(v)
The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may establish additional requirements applicable to such elections and may determine that such requirements be applicable to all Participants or any specified group of Participants.

(vi)
Neither the Administrator nor the Employer may require that a Participant make such an election.

(c)
In all cases, the Administrator shall not be obligated to make the investments requested by a Participant but may choose to make deemed investments in accordance with the Participant’s requests or may choose to make other investments as it deems appropriate.

********

11



Article VI - Distributions

6.1
Time of Payment.

(a)
Separation from Service or Change in Control . Payment of the vested amounts credited to a Participant’s Account(s) shall commence at such time as previously elected by the Participant, following the first to occur of Separation from Service for any reason other than death or Disability or a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to distribution to a Participant who is a Specified Employee on account of Separation from Service for a reason other than death, distribution may not commence earlier than six months following such Participant's Separation from Service. If the Participant fails to timely elect the date on which payment is to be made or commence, distribution shall be made or commence on the first day following the date that is six months from the Participant’s Separation from Service.

(b)
Disability or Death . If the Disability or death of the Participant occurs at any time prior to complete distribution of the Participant’s Account, all remaining vested amounts credited to his or her Account shall be paid in one lump sum on the first day following six months from the date of Disability or death, as the case may be; unless, in the case of death, the Participant has made an alternative election pursuant to Section 6.2(b).

(c)
Limitation on Length of Deferred Commencement . With respect to distribution following Separation from Service for a reason other than death or Disability, the Participant may elect to have distribution of Deferrals be made or commence at any time following the expiration of six months following the Participant’s separation date, provided, however, that distribution may not commence later than 30 years following the Participant’s separation date; provided, further, that if the Participant has fewer than 10 completed years of service with the Employer upon his or her separation date and the Participant previously elected for distribution to be made or commence on a date that is subsequent to the date on which the Post-Separation Period expires, the distribution date elected by the Participant shall be disregarded and distribution will instead be made or commence on the date on which the Post-Separation Period expires. For purposes of determining a Participant’s length of service to the Employer, service shall be measured from date of hire (or, in the case of a Trust Manager, from the date of election to the Board) and anniversaries thereof. Effective with Deferral Elections filed on or after January 1, 2014, Deferrals that the Participant has designated to be paid as Separation Benefits shall be paid in accordance with the Payment Schedule specified by the Participant in the Deferral Election.

(d)
Payment on a Specified Date . In addition to the election in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.1, a Participant may elect one or more specified dates on which to receive a specified dollar amount or percentage of his or her Account or on which an annual installment stream will commence for the time period elected. Any amount not paid in accordance with a specified date election as of the first to occur of the Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason or Change in Control will be paid in accordance with the applicable election relating to such occurrence or as provided in Section 6.1(b) due to Disability or death, if applicable. Effective with Deferral Elections filed on or after January 1, 2013, Deferrals that the Participant has designated to be paid as Specified Date Benefits may be paid or commence only on specified dates designated by the Administrator and shall be paid in accordance with the Payment Schedule specified by the Participant in the Deferral Election.


12



6.2
Form of Payment .

(a)
The Participant's Account shall be payable in one of the following forms: (i) in a lump sum payment; or (ii) in annual installments over a period of up to 20 years (as elected by the Participant). However, with respect to distribution due to Separation from Service, if the Participant has fewer than 10 completed years of service with the Employer upon his or her separation date and the Participant previously elected an installment period greater than his or her completed years of service with the Employer, the installment period elected by the Participant shall be disregarded and the installment period shall instead equal the Participant's completed years of service with the Employer. In accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) and (iv) and for purposes of Section 6.4 hereof, an election for distribution in the form of installment payments shall be treated as an election of a series of separate payments.

(b)
Notwithstanding Section 6.2(a), with respect to payments due to death, distribution shall be made in one of the following forms, as elected by the Participant: (i) one lump sum, to be paid on the first day following six months from the date of death; (ii) annual installments over a three-year period; or (iii) annual installments over a five-year period. In the case of distribution in the form of installment payments, the first installment shall be paid on the first day following six months from the date of death, and subsequent installments shall be paid on each anniversary thereof. If the Participant fails to timely elect the form in which benefits are to be distributed in the event of death, distribution shall be in the form of one lump sum, to be paid on the first day following six months from the date of death.

(c)
The Participant’s benefit shall be distributed in the form previously elected by the Participant. If the Participant fails to timely elect the form in which his or her benefit is to be distributed, distribution shall be in the form of one lump sum.

6.3
Distribution Election . An election as to the date on which distribution is to be made or commence and the form of payment shall be made by the Participant at the time the Participant makes a Deferral Election and may be modified only as provided in Section 6.4. A Participant may make separate elections with respect to the Participant’s Compensation Deferral Account and Share Deferral Account. The commencement of distribution and form of payment elected by the Participant or otherwise required under Section 6.1 or 6.2 will be effective as to all of the Participant's Deferrals; provided, however, for distributions to be payable for any reason other than death, the Administrator may permit Participants to make a separate election relating to the commencement of distribution and the form of payment at the time each Deferral Election is made, with such distribution election applicable solely to amounts deferred pursuant to that Deferral Election. If, with respect to a Deferral Election, the Participant fails to timely make an election relating to the commencement of distribution and the form of payment, the last such election relating to distribution made by the Participant shall apply. If no such election has been made, distribution shall be made as provided in Sections 6.1(a) and 6.2(b). Effective with Deferral Elections filed on or after January 1, 2014, the Participant shall specify in the Deferral Election the portion of such Deferrals which shall be designated as either Separation Benefits and/or as Specified Date Benefits. If no designation is made, Deferrals shall be designated as Separation Benefits. The Participant shall also specify the Payment Schedule applicable to his or her Separation Benefits and/or Specified Date Benefits. If a Payment Schedule is not specified in the Deferral Election, the Payment Schedule shall be as provided in Section 6.2(b).

6.4
Modifications to Distribution Elections. A Participant may amend his or her previously-made distribution election; provided, that any such amendment:

(a)
may not take effect until at least 12 months after such amendment to the election is made;

(b)
except in the case of a distribution due to Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, Disability, or the death of the Participant, must extend the period of deferral for the first payment for which such amendment is made for a period of no less than five years;

(c)
may not be made less than 12 months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment of the amount to which such amendment is made; and

(d)
may not permit acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment under the Plan, except as may be permitted by applicable Treasury Regulations.

6.5
Distribution Due to Unforeseeable Financial Emergency . Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account may not be distributed to or on behalf of a Participant prior to Separation from Service unless the Participant shows, to the satisfaction of the Administrator, that the Participant has encountered an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency. The amount distributed to a Participant on account of Unforeseeable Financial Emergency may not exceed the amount necessary to alleviate such Emergency, plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance, or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship).

6.6
Cashout Distribution . Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article VI, if at any time the Participant’s vested interest in the Plan and any other non-qualified, defined contribution plan sponsored by the Employer in which the Participant participates is $10,000 or less, the Administrator may distribute such interest to the Participant in one lump sum, provided the following requirements are also satisfied:

(a)
The payment accompanies the termination of the entirety of the Participant’s interest in the Plan, and all similar plans or arrangements that would constitute a nonqualified deferred compensation plan under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c);

(b)
The payment is made on or before the later of December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant separates from service or the 15th day of the third month following the Participant’s Separation from Service; and

(c)
The Participant is not provided with an election with respect to receipt of the payment.

(a)
Elective Deferral . A Participant , subject to the limitations below, may elect to defer all or a portion of an Option Award or Share Award , on such terms as the Administrator may permit, by completing an Option Award or Share Award Deferral Agreement and submitting it to the Administrator prior to the calendar year in which the Option Award or Share Award is made. With respect to Share Awards , such election may be made only with respect to Share Awards made on or after January 1, 2005. With respect to Option Awards , such election may be made only with respect to Option Awards made on or after January 1, 2005 and before January 1, 2006. Such Deferral Elections shall be made pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, in accordance with the provisions thereof (with respect to such deferrals, the period of deferral is sometimes referred to as the “Option Deferral Period” or the “Share Deferral Period” as the case may be) and shall be distributed pursuant to Article VI hereof. The Administrator shall credit such deferred Option Awards or Share Awards to a bookkeeping account (to be known as a “Camden Option Account” or “Camden Share Award Account” as the case may be) for the benefit of such Participant. The Option Awards or Share Awards so deferred initially shall be accounted for by the Employer and shall be transferred to the Trustee at such times as the Employer shall, in its discretion, determine. Any election to defer all or a portion of a Share Award shall apply to any subsequent Share Award unless and until a revised Deferral Election is submitted to the Administrator.

(b)
Issuance of Deferred Option Awards. No Participant may elect to defer an Option Award made on or after January 1, 2006 , but the Committee may grant deferred Option Awards on behalf of a Participant, in which case such Option Awards shall be credited immediately upon grant to the Participant’s Option Deferral Account under the Plan. In making such a grant, the Committee shall specify the date on which distribution is to be made or commence and the form of distribution under Section 6.2(a) hereof, which may only be subsequently modified at the election of the Participant if such modification is consistent with the requirements of Section 6.4 hereof.

Beneficiaries . Each Participant may from time to time designate one or more persons, entities or his or her estate as his or her beneficiary under the Plan. Such designation shall be made on a form prescribed by the Administrator.

8.2
Change of Beneficiary Designation . Each Participant may at any time and from time to time, change any previous beneficiary designation, without notice to or consent of any previously designated beneficiary, by amending his or her previous designation on a form prescribed by the Administrator.

8.3
Determination of Beneficiary.

(a)
If the beneficiary does not survive the Participant (or is otherwise unavailable to receive payment), if the beneficiary does not survive until the final payment is made or if no beneficiary is validly designated, then the amounts payable under this Plan (or any remaining amount, as the case may be) shall be paid to the Participant's designated contingent beneficiary, if any, and, if none, to the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, and if none, to his or her surviving issue per stirpes, if any, and, if none, to his or her estate and such person shall be deemed to be a beneficiary hereunder. (For purposes of this Article, a per stirpes distribution to surviving issue means a distribution to such issue as representatives of the branches of the descendants of such Participant; equal shares are allotted for each living child and for the descendants as a group of each deceased child of the deceased Participant).

(b)
If more than one person is the beneficiary of a deceased Participant, each such person shall receive a pro rata share of any death benefit payable unless otherwise designated on the applicable form.

(c)
If a beneficiary who is receiving benefits dies, all benefits that were payable to such beneficiary shall then be payable to the estate of that beneficiary.

(d)
If the Administrator has any doubt as to the proper beneficiary to receive payments hereunder, the Employer shall have the right to withhold such payments until the matter is finally adjudicated. However, any payment made by the Employer, in good faith and in accordance with this Plan, shall fully discharge the Employer from all further obligations with respect to that payment.

8.4
Lost Participant or Beneficiary .

(a)
All Participants and beneficiaries shall have the obligation to keep the Administrator informed of their current address until such time as all benefits due have been paid.

(b)
If a Participant or beneficiary cannot be located by the Administrator exercising due diligence, then, in its sole discretion, the Administrator may presume that the Participant or beneficiary is deceased for purposes of the Plan and all unpaid amounts (net of due diligence expenses) owed to the Participant or beneficiary shall be paid to his/her estate. Any such presumption of death shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

Article IX - Funding

9.1
Prohibition Against Funding . Benefits payable under this Plan shall be paid from the general assets of the Employer, or at the discretion of the Employer, from assets set aside in a Trust to assist the Employer with meeting its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that no person entitled to payment under this Plan shall have any claim, right, priority, security interest, or other interest in any fund, trust, account, or other asset of the Employer that may be looked to for such payment. The liability for the payment of benefits hereunder shall be evidenced only by this Plan and by the existence of a bookkeeping account established and maintained by the Employer for purposes of this Plan. It is the express intention of the parties hereto that this arrangement shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

9.2

Article XI - General Provisions
11.1
Administrator .

(a)
The Administrator is expressly empowered to limit the amount of Compensation that may be deferred; to deposit amounts into Trust(s) in accordance with this Plan; to interpret the Plan, and to determine all questions arising in the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan; to employ actuaries, accountants, counsel, and other persons it deems necessary in connection with the administration of the Plan; to request any information from the Employer it deems necessary to determine whether the Employer would be considered insolvent or subject to a proceeding in bankruptcy; and to take all other necessary and proper actions to fulfill its duties as Administrator.

(b)
The Administrator shall not be liable for any actions taken by it hereunder, unless due to its own negligence, willful misconduct or lack of good faith.

(c)
The Administrator shall be indemnified and saved harmless by the Employer from and against all personal liability to which it may be subject by reason of any act done or omitted to be done in its official capacity as Administrator in good faith in the administration of the Plan and Trust, including all expenses reasonably incurred in its defense in the event the Employer fails to provide such defense upon the request of the Administrator. The Administrator is relieved of all responsibility in connection with its duties hereunder to the fullest extent permitted by law, short of breach of duty to the Participants and beneficiaries.

11.2
No Assignment . Benefits or payments under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary, whether voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to so anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, attach or garnish the same shall not be valid, nor shall any such benefit or payment be in any way liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagement or torts of any Participant or beneficiary, or any other person entitled to such benefit or payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan, except to such extent as may be required by law. If any Participant or beneficiary or any other person entitled to a benefit or payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan becomes bankrupt or attempts to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, attach or garnish any benefit or payment under this Plan, in whole or in part, or if any attempt is made to subject any such benefit or payment, in whole or in part, to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the Participant or beneficiary or any other person entitled to any such benefit or payment pursuant to the terms of this Plan, then such benefit or payment, in the discretion of the Administrator, shall cease and terminate with respect to such Participant or beneficiary, or any other such person.

11.3
No Employment Rights . Participation in this Plan shall not be construed to confer upon any Participant the legal right to be retained in the employ of the Employer, or give a Participant or beneficiary, or any other person, any right to any payment whatsoever, except to the extent of the benefits provided for hereunder. Each Participant shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if this Plan had never been adopted.

11.4
Incompetence . If the Administrator determines that any person to whom a benefit is payable under this Plan is incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability, the Administrator shall have the power to cause the payments becoming due to such person to be made to another for his or her benefit without responsibility of the Administrator or the Employer to see to the application of such payments.

20



Any payment made pursuant to such power shall, as to such payment, operate as a complete discharge of the Employer, the Administrator and the Trustee.

11.5
Identity . If, at any time, any doubt exists as to the identity of any person entitled to any payment hereunder or the amount or time of such payment, the Administrator shall be entitled to hold such sum until such identity or amount or time is determined or until an order of a court of competent jurisdiction is obtained. The Administrator shall also be entitled to pay such sum into court in accordance with the appropriate rules of law. Any expenses incurred by the Employer, Administrator, and Trust incident to such proceeding or litigation shall be charged against the Account of the affected Participant.

11.6
Other Benefits . The benefits of each Participant or beneficiary hereunder shall be in addition to any benefits paid or payable to or on account of the Participant or beneficiary under any other pension, disability, annuity or retirement plan or policy whatsoever.

11.7
Expenses . All expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan, whether incurred by the Employer or the Plan, shall be paid by the Employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, fees incurred as a result of investment activity in an individual Account shall be assessed against such Account if such Account is maintained on behalf of a former Participant.

11.8
Insolvency . Should the Employer be considered insolvent (as defined by the Trust), the Employer, through its Board and chief executive officer, shall give immediate written notice of such to the Trustee. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall comply with the applicable terms of the Trust.
  
11.9
Amendment and Termination .

(a)
Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the Board shall have the sole authority to modify, amend or terminate this Plan; provided, however, that any modification or termination of this Plan shall not reduce, without the consent of a Participant, a Participant's right to any vested amounts already credited to his or her Account. The Plan may be amended by an authorized committee of the Board if the primary effect of the amendment is to simplify or clarify Plan administration or if the primary purpose of the amendment is to cause the Plan to comply with applicable statutes, Regulations, or other published regulatory guidance. Following Plan termination, payment of such credited amounts shall be made in a single sum payment thirty (30) days following Plan termination or, if subparagraph (iii) of this Section 11.9(a) is applicable, at the time provided in such subparagraph (iii). Distributions upon Plan termination shall in all events comply with guidance issued under Code Section 409A.

The Board may terminate the Plan upon occurrence of any one of the following:

(i)
Within twelve (12) months of the Employer's dissolution taxed under Section 331 of the Code or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts deferred under the Plan are included in the Participants’ gross income in the latest of:

(1)
The calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs;
(2)
The calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or


21



(3)
The first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable.

(ii)
Within the thirty (30) days preceding or the twelve (12) months following a change in control (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and related guidance issued thereunder), provided all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Employer are also terminated, so that the Participant and all participants under substantially similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve (12) months of the date of termination of the arrangements.

(iii)
At the discretion of the Employer, provided that all of the following requirements are satisfied:

(1)
The termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Employer;

(2)
All arrangements sponsored by the Employer that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c) if the same Participant participated in all of the arrangements are terminated;

(3)
No payments other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred are made within twelve (12) months of the termination of the arrangements;

(4)
All payments are made within twenty-four (24) months of the termination of the arrangements; and

(5)
The Employer does not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c) if the same Participant participated in both arrangements, at any time within three (3) years following the date of termination of the arrangement.

(iv)
Such other events and conditions as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.

(b)
A Participant shall have a right to the vested portion of his or her Account in the event of the termination of the Plan.

11.10
Construction . All questions of interpretation, construction or application arising under or concerning the terms of this Plan shall be decided by the Administrator, in its sole and final discretion, whose decision shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Plan and any Deferral Election, the terms of this Plan shall control.

11.11
Governing Law . This Plan shall be governed by, construed and administered in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Code Section 409A, and any other applicable federal law and any applicable guidance issued under any such law, provided, however, that to the extent not preempted by federal law, this Plan shall be governed by, construed and administered under the laws of the State of Texas, other than its laws respecting choice of law.

22




11.12
Severability . If any provision of this Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, its invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Plan and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included therein. If the inclusion of any Employee (or Employees) as a Participant under this Plan would cause the Plan to fail to be maintained solely for a select group of highly compensated or management employees, then the Plan shall be severed with respect to such Employee or Employees who shall be considered to be participating in a separate arrangement.

11.13
Headings . The Article headings contained herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, enlarge or describe the scope or intent of this Plan nor in any way shall they affect this Plan or the construction of any provision thereof.

11.14
Entire Agreement . This instrument contains the entire terms of the Plan and supersedes any prior understandings or written documents which have heretofore set forth the terms of the Plan and/or any oral agreements between the Employer and any of the Participants respecting the within subject matter. No modification, amendment, change, or discharge of any term or provision of this Plan shall be valid or binding unless the same is in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Employer.

11.15
Terms . Capitalized terms shall have meanings as defined herein. Singular nouns shall be read as plural, masculine pronouns shall be read as feminine, and vice versa, as appropriate.

11.16
Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) Status. The Plan shall not permit the Deferral by any person that would result in the Employer being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT under Section 856 et seq. of the Code (including but not limited to ownership that would result in the Employer owning (actually or constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived by the Employer (either directly or indirectly through its affiliates) from such tenant may cause the Employer to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code).
Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or Trust, in the event that legal counsel for the
Employer delivers an opinion to the Employer to the effect that the continuation of the Plan would result in a material risk that the Employer would lose its status as a REIT pursuant to Sections 856 et seq. of the Code, and the Employer determines in good faith that there is no feasible alternative that would result in the continuation of the Plan and the preservation of the Employer’s REIT status, then the Board may terminate the Plan pursuant to Section 11.9(a)(iii) hereof; provided, that, in such case the Board shall provide the Participant(s) with reasonable prior written notice. Any amendment to the Plan will be binding upon all Participants and Beneficiaries, the Committee and all other parties in interest.
11.17
Compliance with Internal Revenue Code. This Plan is intended to be a nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the definition of Section 409A of the Code, and is intended to meet all the requirements of that and any other applicable Code sections. The Plan has been amended previously to make available to Participants transitional relief offered under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent such relief is no longer available, such provisions have been excluded from this restatement of the Plan. The Plan may be further amended to ensure compliance with such laws.
