The Jobs Act regulates deferral and distribution elections and many other aspects of the Plan. As of November 2005, there are many legal issues related to the Jobs Act that are yet unresolved, and it is expected that the IRS will issue further guidance to address some of these issues. Please note that Rollins, Inc. has reserved the right to amend the Plan to comply with the Jobs Act. Such amendments might be retroactive - meaning that they might apply to amounts already contributed before the amendments are adopted. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I ACKNOWLEDGE that I have been offered an opportunity to participate in the Rollins, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan. I will participate (or not participate) in the Plan in accordance with my elections on this form and authorize the Company to make the appropriate deductions (if any), as indicated on this form, from my 2006 Annual Base Salary, and the Plan Committee to apply the distribution elections, as indicated on this form, to the appropriate portion of my Account Balance. I understand that I may not change the above deferral election for the remainder of 2006 (except that the above deferral election may be reduced if necessary to cover FICA taxes and/or other payroll reductions), that the above deferral election will apply only for 2006 Annual Base Salary, that a new election will be required if I wish to defer 2007 Annual Base Salary, and that amounts deferred under the Plan are unfunded and unsecured, and subject to the claims of the Company's creditors in the event of the Company's insolvency. I further understand that I may change the above distribution elections solely as permitted under the Plan and under the Jobs Act. I further understand that the amounts subject to deferral under this election shall be subject to such rules as are necessary to preserve the tax-deferred status of these amounts under the Jobs Act. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this form shall have the meanings given them in the Plan. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature of Employee _____________________________________________________ Date__________ Signature of Plan Committee Member Or Duly Authorized Agent __________________________________________________ Date__________
