C. The Company may, without "Cause" (as defined in paragraph E below), terminate this Agreement at any time by giving to Employee thirty (30) days written notice and such termination shall be effective on the date specified by the Company but in no event more than the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of such notice.

For all purposes of this Agreement, it shall be deemed that the Company terminated this Agreement without cause if this Agreement expires at
3
the end of the initial or any extended term of this Agreement as a result of a notice from the Company not to extend the term of this Agreement. If terminated without Cause pursuant to this paragraph C, Employee shall continue to receive her full base salary and related fringe benefits for six (6) months following Employee's termination except that these benefits shall not apply in the event of termination without Cause after a Change in Control; in which event, the provisions of Item 4E shall apply.
D. Employee may terminate this Agreement immediately for "Good Reason." For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason shall be defined as (i) failure of the Company to make any payment or provide any benefit to Employee hereunder, which failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after the Company's receipt of written notice of such default, or (ii) a material diminution of Employee's duties and responsibilities or her title without Employee's consent, or (iii) the principal location at which Employee is to perform her duties is relocated to a place more than fifty (50) miles from Las Vegas, Nevada. Any termination under this paragraph D shall take effect immediately upon the Company's receipt of written notice from Employee after the expiration of any applicable cure period.

E. The Company may terminate this Agreement immediately for "Cause." For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall be defined as any of the following: (i) Employee shall commit a felony or other act involving moral turpitude, which other act is materially detrimental to the Company; (ii) Employee shall knowingly commit any act of prohibited conduct as set forth in Item 3 of this Agreement; (iii) Employee shall commit any act, specifically including but not limited to drug or alcohol abuse, which act is materially harmful to the Company, or which in the reasonable opinion of the Company's Board brings the Company into disrepute; (iv) Employee shall commit any act of fraud, dishonesty, theft or misappropriation, whether or not related to her activities on behalf of the Company, including providing false reports or accounts to the Company or deliberately making false statements about the Company, its services, employees, customers or suppliers; (v) intentional or repeated material neglect of Employee's duties; (vi) breach by Employee of any other material provision of this Agreement; (vii) Employee shall become the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise make an arrangement or composition with creditors generally; (viii) Employee shall engage in anti-social behavior (such as fighting, indecency, harassment, sexual or racial harassment or discrimination, intimidation of others, physical violence or assault) during the course of performing duties for the Company or against another employee outside of work; (ix) Employee shall have possession of illegal drugs at the Company's workplace; or (x) Employee shall perform duties in a negligent or dangerous manner which causes or is likely to cause material loss or injury. This Agreement shall not be terminated by the Company under subclause (v) or (vi) of this Item unless and until the Company has provided Employee with written notice of such violative conduct and Employee has failed to cure (or fails to commence and thereafter diligently pursue the cure) such act within thirty (30) days after Employee's receipt of such written notice; provided, however, that no right to cure shall be available for a second or subsequent violation of the same provision within any twelve (12) month period. Any termination under this paragraph E shall take effect immediately upon Employee's receipt of written notice from the Company or expiration of any applicable cure period, whichever is later. The failure of the Company to terminate this Agreement for cause as a result of any of the foregoing at any one or more times shall not affect the Company's ability to terminate this Agreement for cause as a result of the subsequent occurrence of any act giving rise to "cause" hereunder, provided that Employee is still provided with a notice to cure if applicable in accordance with the above.
F. Upon termination, Employee shall have no obligation to provide any additional services, and except as expressly provided above, the Company shall only be obligated pay to Employee the portion

of any amounts due as of the termination date, together with all unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Employee.

The paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not be deemed to impart substantive meeting to any provision of this Agreement. Each party has had the opportunity to be represented by counsel of its choice in negotiating this Agreement. This Agreement shall therefore be deemed to have been negotiated and prepared at the joint request and direction of the parties, at arm's length, with the advice and participation of counsel, and shall be interpreted in accordance with its terms and without favor to any party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been signed, sealed and delivered as of the date and year first above written.
