9. SPECIAL REIMBURSEMENT.

9.1 If any payment or benefit paid or payable, or received or to be received, by or on behalf of the Executive , whether any such payments or benefits are pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, program, arrangement or agreement of or with the Company, any Affiliate, any Person, or otherwise (the “Total Payments”), will or would be

subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that, after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes) imposed upon or in respect of the Total Payments and the Gross-Up Payments, including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and any Excise Tax imposed thereon, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments.

9.2 For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax,

(a) the Total Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive (which opinion shall be provided to the Executive) such Total Payments (in whole or in part) (i) do not constitute parachute payments, including (without limitation) by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code, (ii) such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, or (iii) are not, in the opinion of legal counsel, otherwise subject to the Excise Tax, and

(b) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Company’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

9.3 In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder, the Executive shall repay to the Company, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of the termination of the Executive’s employment (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the initial Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in accordance with Subsection 9.1 in respect of such excess Excise Tax (plus any interest, penalties or additions payable by the Executive with respect to such excess Excise Tax) at the time that the amount of such excess Excise Tax is finally determined. The Executive and the Company shall each reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings concerning the existence or amount of any such subsequent liability for Excise Tax with respect to the Total Payments.

10. INDEMNIFICATION.

10.1 General. The Company agrees that if the Executive is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Indemnifiable Action”), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Indemnifiable Action is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, he shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law and the Company’s by-laws, as the same exist or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment to the Company’s by-laws, only to the extent such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Company’s by-laws permitted the Company to provide before such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection therewith.

10.2 Procedure. The indemnification provided pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a) The Executive must promptly give the Company written notice of any actual or threatened Indemnifiable Action and, upon providing such notice, the Executive shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in reaching any contrary determination; provided, however, that the Executive’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations hereunder;

(b) The Company will be permitted, at its option, to participate in, or to assume, the defense of any Indemnifiable Action, with counsel reasonably approved by the Executive; provided, however, that (i) the Executive shall have the right to employ his own counsel in such Indemnifiable Action at the Executive’s expense; and (ii) if (A) the retention of counsel by the Executive has been previously authorized in writing by the Company, (B) the Company shall have reasonably concluded, based on the advice of independent legal counsel mutually selected by the Company and the Executive, that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Executive in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have retained counsel to assume the defense of such Indemnifiable Action, the fees and expenses of the Executive’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company; and provided, further, that the Company shall not settle any action or claim that would impose any limitation or penalty on the Executive without obtaining the Executive’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;

(d) The Executive must refrain from settling any Indemnifiable Action without obtaining the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

10.3 Advancement of Costs and Expenses. The Company agrees to advance all costs and expenses referred to in Subsections 10.1 and 10.6; provided, however, that the Executive agrees to repay to the Company all amounts so advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Agreement.

The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to or on behalf of the Executive within twenty (20) days following delivery of a written request therefore by the Executive to the Company. The Executive’s entitlement to advancement of costs and expenses hereunder shall include those incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding by the Executive seeking a determination, adjudication or arbitration in award with respect to his rights and/or obligations under this Section 10.

10.4 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending an Indemnifiable Action in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 10 shall not be exclusive of any other right which the Executive may have or hereafter may acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

10.5 D&O Insurance. The Company will maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering the Executive that provides coverage that is reasonable in relation to the Executive’s position during the Term of Employment.

10.6 Witness Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify the Executive if and whenever he is a witness or threatened to be made a witness to any action, suit or proceeding to which the Executive is not a party, by reason of the fact that the Executive is or was a director or officer of the Company or its Affiliates or by reason of anything done or not done by him in such capacity, against all expense, liability and loss incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection therewith; provided, however, that if the Executive is no longer employed by the Company, the Company will compensate him, on an hourly basis, for all time spent, at either his then current compensation rate or his Base Salary at the rate in effect as of the termination of his employment, whichever is higher.

10.7 Survival. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, regardless of the reason for such termination.

11. COVENANT NOT ENGAGE IN CERTAIN ACTS.

11.1 General. The Parties understand and agree that the purpose of the restrictions contained in this Section 11 is to protect the goodwill and other legitimate business interests of the Company, and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions are reasonable and do not, and will not, unduly impair his ability to make a living after the termination of his employment with the Company. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.

11.2 Non-assistance; Non-diversion. In consideration for this Agreement to employ the Executive and the other valuable consideration provided hereunder, the Executive agrees and covenants that during the Term of Employment and during the Restriction Period, and except when acting on behalf of the Company or on behalf of any Affiliate, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or any third party, or alone or as a member of a partnership, or as an officer, director, shareholder or otherwise, engage in the following acts:

(a) divert or attempt to divert any existing business of the Company or any Affiliate;

(b) accept any position or affiliation with, or render any services on behalf of, any Competing Business; or

(c) hire or retain any employee of the Company or any Affiliate to provide services for any other Person or induce, solicit, attempt to solicit, encourage, divert, cause or attempt to cause any employee or prospective employee of the Company or any Affiliate to (i) terminate and/or leave such employment, or (ii) accept employment with anyone other than the Company or an Affiliate.

11.3 Cessation/Reimbursement of Payments. If the Executive violates any provision of this Section 11, the Company may, upon giving written notice to the Executive, immediately cease all payments and benefits that it may be providing to the Executive pursuant to Section 3, Section 6 or Subsection 7.2, and the Executive may be required to reimburse the Company for any payments received from, and the cash value of any benefits provided by, the Company between the first day of the violation and the date such notice is given; provided, however, that the foregoing shall be in addition to such other remedies as may be available to the Company and shall not be deemed to permit the Executive to forego or waive such payments in order to avoid his obligations under this Section 11.

11.4 Survival. The Executive agrees that the provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Executive’s employment.

12. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND COMPANY PROPERTY.

12.1 Confidential Information. The Executive understands and acknowledges that Confidential Information constitutes a valuable asset of the Company and its Affiliates and may not be converted to the Executive’s own or any third party’s use. Accordingly, the Executive hereby agrees that he shall not directly or indirectly, during the Term of Employment or any time thereafter, disclose any Confidential Information to any Person not expressly authorized by the Company to receive such Confidential Information. The Executive further agrees that he shall not directly or indirectly, during the Term of Employment or any time thereafter, use or make use of any Confidential Information in connection with any business activity other than that of the Company. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, alter either the Company’s rights or the Executive’s obligations under any state or federal statutory or common law regarding trade secrets and unfair trade practices.

12.2 Company Property. All Company Property is and shall remain exclusively the property of the Company. Unless authorized in writing to the contrary, the Executive shall promptly, and without charge, deliver to the Company on the termination of employment hereunder, or at any other time the Company may so request, all Company Property that the Executive may then possess or have under his control.

12.3 Required Disclosure. In the event the Executive is required by law or court order to disclose any Confidential Information or to produce any Company Property, the Executive shall promptly notify the Company of such requirement and provide the Company with a copy of any court order or of any law which requires such disclosure and, if the Company so elects, to the extent permitted by applicable law, give the Company an adequate opportunity, at its own expense, to contest such law or court order prior to any such required disclosure or production by the Executive.

12.4 Survival. The Executive agrees that the provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Executive’s employment.

13. MUTUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

13.1 Arbitrable Claims. All disputes between the Executive (and his attorneys, successors, and assigns) and the Company (and its trustees, beneficiaries, officers, directors, managers, affiliates, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns) relating in any manner whatsoever to the employment or termination of the Executive, including, without limitation, all disputes arising under this Agreement (“Arbitrable Claims”), shall be resolved by binding arbitration as set forth in this Section 13 (the “Mutual Arbitration Agreement”). Arbitrable Claims shall include, but are not limited to, claims for compensation, claims for breach of any contract or covenant (express or implied), and tort claims of all kinds, as well as all claims based on any federal, state, or local law, statute or regulation, but shall not include the Company’s right to seek injunctive relief as provided in Section 15. Arbitration shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall be the exclusive remedy for all Arbitrable Claims. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JUDGE

OR JURY IN REGARD TO ARBITRABLE CLAIMS, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY SECTION 13.4.

13.2 Procedure. Arbitration of Arbitrable Claims shall be in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association, as amended, and as augmented in this Agreement. Either Party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award. Otherwise, neither Party shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit, appeal or administrative action in any way related to an Arbitrable Claim. The initiating Party must file and serve an arbitration claim within sixty (60) days of learning the facts giving rise to the alleged claim. All arbitration hearings under this Agreement shall be conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement. The fees of the arbitrator shall be divided equally between both Parties.

13.3 Confidentiality. All proceedings and all documents prepared in connection with any Arbitrable Claim shall be confidential and, unless otherwise required by law, the subject matter and content thereof shall not be disclosed to any Person other than the parties to the proceedings, their counsel, witnesses and experts, the arbitrator and, if involved, the court and court staff.

13.4 Applicability. This Section 13 shall apply to all disputes under this Agreement other than disputes relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under Sections 11 and 12 of this Agreement.

16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN DOCUMENTS. In the event that any terms and provisions of this Agreement conflict with the terms and provisions of any employee benefit plan document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall govern, and the Company shall take any and all actions that may be necessary, including amendment of any plan document, to effect the provision of benefits expressly provided upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Sections 6 and 7.

17. BENEFICIARIES/REFERENCES.

22. AMENDMENT OR WAIVER. No provision in this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or waiver is agreed to in writing, signed by both Parties. No waiver by one Party of any breach by the other Party of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other Party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time.
