    For purposes of this Agreement,
“Good
Reason“ means the
occurrence of any of the following: (i) the assignment to Executive of duties
materially inconsistent with his status as Senior Vice President of Sales or a
material adverse alteration in the nature or status of his responsibilities,
duties or authority; (ii) a material reduction by the Company in Executive’s
then Base Salary, Target Bonus, or Incentive Bonus, a material reduction in
other benefits, or the failure by the Company to pay Executive any material
portion of his current compensation when due; (iii) a requirement that Executive
report to a primary work location that is more than fifty (50) miles from the
Company’s current location in Austin, Texas or any office located in Reno or Las
Vegas, Nevada; (iv) the Company requiring Executive either (a) to be based
anywhere other than the location of the Company's principle offices in Austin or
any Office located in Reno or Las Vegas, Nevada (except for required travel in
the Company's business to an extent substantially consistent with Executive's
present business obligations); or (viii) the failure of the Executive and any
successor company following a Change of Control to reach a mutually agreeable
employment agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s

thirty (30) days following such written notice (the “Remedy
Period”); and (c) Executive
resigns within thirty  (30) days following the expiration of the

parent, or subsidiary of either the Company or its successor, then Executive
will forfeit any right to severance payments hereunder and will reimburse the
Company for the full amount of such payments received by Executive within 30
days of accepting such employment.

     

    1.7.3           Severance
Conditioned on Release of Claims.  The Company’s obligation to provide
Executive with the severance benefits set forth in Section 1.7.2 is contingent
upon Executive’s execution of a mutual release of claims satisfactory to the
Company.  Such release will not contain any non-competition period or
otherwise restrict Executive's future employment opportunity and will not affect
Executive’s continuing obligations to the Company under the Proprietary
Agreement.

     

    
      
        	
              	
                2. 

              	
                PROTECTION
      OF COMPANY’S PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS;
      NON-COMPETITION

              


      

    

     

    2.1.1           Proprietary
Agreement.  This Agreement, and
Executive’s employment hereunder, is contingent upon Executive’s execution of
the Proprietary Agreement, effective contemporaneously with the execution of
this Agreement.  The Proprietary Agreement survives the termination of
this Agreement, the Employment Term and/or Executive’s employment with the
Company.

     

    2.1.2           Consideration
For Promise To Refrain From Competing.  Executive agrees that
Executive’s services are special and unique, that the Company’s disclosure of
confidential, proprietary information and specialized training and knowledge to
Executive, and that Executive’s level of compensation and benefits, including
the amount of severance as set forth in Section 1.7 hereof, are partly in
consideration of Executive not competing with the Company following the
termination of his employment.  Also, the Company promises to provide
Executive with proprietary and confidential information to which Executive has
not had access (including without limitation information developed and presented
in Board of Director meetings).  Executive acknowledges that such
consideration (including without limitation the Company’s promise to provide
Executive access to proprietary and confidential information made in this
section) is adequate for Executive’s promises contained within this
Section 2.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    2.1.3           Promise
To Refrain From Competing.  Executive understands the
Company’s need for Executive’s promise not to compete with the Company is based
on the following:  (i) the Company has expended, and will
continue to expend, substantial time, money and effort in developing its
proprietary information; (ii) Executive will in the course of Executive’s
employment develop, be personally entrusted with and exposed to the Company’s
proprietary information; (iii) the Company is engaged in the highly insular
and competitive gaming technology industry; (iv) the Company provides
products and services nationally and internationally; and (v) the Company
will suffer great loss and irreparable harm if Executive were to enter into
competition with the Company.  Therefore, in exchange for the
consideration described in Section 2.12 above, Executive agrees that during
Executive’s employment with the Company, and for one (1) year following the
effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for
any reason (such one (1) year period to be increased to two (2) years in the
event Executive becomes entitled to two (2) year’s Base Salary and Target Bonus
as severance pursuant to Section 1.7.2(i)(B) hereof or otherwise) (the
“Covenant
Period”), Executive will
not either directly or indirectly, whether as an owner, director, officer,
manager, consultant, agent or employee:  (i) work for or provide
services or assistance to a competitor of the Company as of the date of
termination of employment, which is defined to include those entities or persons
primarily engaged in the business of developing, marketing, selling and
supporting technology to or for gaming businesses in which, as of the date of
termination of employment, the Company engages or in which the Company has an
actual intention, as evidenced by the Company’s written business plans to
engage, in any country in which the Company does business as of the date of
termination of employment (the “Restricted
Business”); or (ii) make or
hold any investment in any Restricted Business, whether such investment be by
way of loan, purchase of stock or otherwise, provided that there shall be
excluded from the foregoing the ownership of not more than 1% of the listed or
traded stock of any publicly held corporation.  For purposes of this
Section 2, the term “Company” shall mean and include the Company,
any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, and any successor to the business of
the Company (by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or stock or
otherwise).  For purposes of clarification and not limitation, casinos
or gaming operations that are not primarily engaged in the business of
developing, marketing, selling and supporting technology to or for gaming
businesses shall not be Restricted Businesses hereunder.

     

    2.1.4           Notwithstanding the above, Executive
shall be allowed to provide limited consulting services, and own limited equity
interest in the Restricted Businesses listed in Exhibit A of this agreement
subject to the following conditions/ limitations:

     

    2.1.4.1          None of the work done by Executive for
any Restricted Business  listed on Exhibit A shall compete directly or
indirectly with Company in any jurisdiction in which Company currently conducts
business;

     

    2.1.4.2          Executive shall limit the amount of
time, effort, and resource he contributes to any Restricted Business to that
which has been disclosed in Exhibit A;

     

    2.1.4.3          Executive shall not accept any
additional work, assignments, or equity interest in any Restricted Business
greater than that disclosed in Exhibit A without mutual
consent;

     

    2.1.4.4          Executive shall immediately notify
Company, upon his completion of any engagement and/or contractual obligation
with any of the Restricted Businesses listed in Exhibit A;

     

    2.1.4.5          Company shall have the right to
unilaterally and immediately terminate Executive’s employment upon its sole
determination that Executive has an existing contractual obligation with any
Restricted Business that conflicts in any way with Company’s business objectives
or exposes Company to any possible liability.  Termination of
Executive’s employment under this provision shall be considered For Cause and
Company shall have no financial liability to Executive. In any case where
Executive is terminated in accordance with this provision within the first
thirty (30) days of employment, Executive shall not be bound or in any way
obligated under the non-compete provisions of this Section 2 of the
Agreement;

     

    2.1.4.6          Executive shall immediately notify
Company of: (i) all jurisdictions in which any Restricted Business listed in
Exhibit A is licensed or plans to become licensed, (ii) any notice of violation,
allegation of non compliance, or formal communication asserting failure to
adhere to or comply with regulatory requirements issued by any federal, state,
local or tribal regulatory body, board, agency, or commission (gaming or
nongaming) against any Restricted Business listed in Exhibit A, and (iii) any
planned (no less than 14 days advanced notice) appearance by Executive before
any federal, state, local or tribal regulatory body, board, agency, or
commission (gaming or nongaming) as an agent, representative, or employee of any
Restricted Business;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    2.1.4.7          Company shall have the right to
unilaterally and immediately terminate Executive’s employment upon its sole
determination that Executive’s association (current or past) with any Restricted
Business is contrary to Company’s regulatory compliance initiatives. Termination
of Executive’s employment under this provision shall be considered For Cause and
Company shall have no financial liability to Executive. In any case where
Executive is terminated in accordance with this provision within the first
thirty (30) days of employment, Executive shall not be bound or in any way
obligated under the non-compete provisions of this Section 2 of the
Agreement;

     

    2.1.5           Reasonableness
of Restrictions.  Executive represents and
agrees that the restrictions on competition, as to time, geographic area, and
scope of activity, required by this Section 2 are reasonable, do not impose
a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and business
interests of the Company, and are not unduly burdensome to
Executive.  Executive expressly acknowledges that the Company competes
on an international basis and that the geographical scope of these limitations
is reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company’s trade secrets
and other confidential and proprietary information.  Executive further
agrees that these restrictions allow Executive an adequate number and variety of
employment alternatives, based on Executive’s varied skills and
abilities.  Executive represents that Executive is willing and able to
compete in other employment not prohibited by this
Agreement.

     

    2.1.6           Roemer
Gaming LLC Intellectual Property.  Executive shall
continue to work toward developing and licensing its intellectual property
during his employment with Company.  It is agreed that Company shall have a
right of first refusal, subject to any currently existing obligations or
contractual commitments of Executive/Roemer Gaming, for the license of any game
concept or patent.  Before Executive enters any license and or
distribution deal with a third party during the term of his employment with the
Company, the Company shall have 30 days to negotiate a deal on terms no less
favorable then the best terms offered by the third party for any individual
rights to intellectual property designed and / or developed by Roemer Gaming
LLC.  Executive hereby warrants that he has the right, power, and
authorization to bind Roemer Gaming LLC to the obligations of this provision.
Company’s rights of first refusal shall apply to any Intellectual property
developed, designed, and/or distributed by Roemer Gaming LLC during Executive’s
employment with Company, including, but not limited to, the Intellectual
Property listed in Exhibit B of this Agreement.

     

    2.1.7           Reformation
if Necessary.  In
the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the geographic area,
duration, or scope of activity of any restriction under this Section 2 and its
subsections is unenforceable, the restrictions under this section and its
subsections shall not be terminated but shall be reformed and modified to the
extent required to render them valid and enforceable.

     

    2.1.8           Early
Termination of Covenant Period.  Beginning six (6) months
after the beginning of the Covenant Period, Executive may, upon thirty (30)
days’ written notice to the Company, elect to forego and forfeit any claim to
any unpaid severance benefits pursuant to Section 1.7.2 above and, subject to
and conditioned upon such notice and written election by Executive, Executive

    3.           REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES BY EXECUTIVE

     

    Executive represents and warrants to the
Company that (i) this Agreement is valid and binding upon and enforceable
against him in accordance with its terms; (ii) Executive is not bound by or
subject to any contractual or other obligation that would be violated by his
execution or performance of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any
non-competition agreement presently in effect (including but not limited to
associations with Restricted Businesses listed in Exhibit A); and (iii)
Executive is not subject to any pending or, to Executive’s knowledge, threatened
claim, action, judgment, order, or investigation that could adversely affect his
ability to perform his obligations under this Agreement or the business
reputation of the Company.  Executive has not entered into, and agrees
that he will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict
herewith.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    4.           TAXES

     

    4.1          Section
4999.

     

    4.1.1           Gross-Up
Payment Amount.  In the event it shall be
determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit
of Executive, whether paid, payable, distributed or distributable pursuant to
this Agreement (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax
imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision) or any
interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together
with any such interest and penalties, are collectively referred to in this
Agreement as the “Excise
Tax”), then Executive shall
be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up
Payment”) in an amount such
that after the payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or
penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed
upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment
equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payment.

     

    4.1.2           Determinations.  Subject to the provisions of
Section 4.1.3, all determinations required to be made under this Section 4,
including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such
Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such
determination, shall be made by an accounting firm reasonably selected by the
Company (the “Accounting
Firm”), which shall provide
detailed supporting calculations to both the Company and Executive within
forty-five (45) days of the receipt of written notice from Executive that there
has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the
Company.  Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this
Section 4, shall be paid by the Company to Executive within thirty (30)
days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination.  Any
determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and
Executive. As a result of the possible uncertainty in application of
Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments will not have
been made by the Company that should have been made (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations
required to be made hereunder.  In the event that the Company exhausts
its remedies pursuant to Section 4.1.3 and Executive thereafter is required
to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the
amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be
promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of
Executive.

     

    4.1.3           IRS
Claims.  Executive shall notify the
Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service (the
“IRS”) that, if successful, would require
the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be
given as soon as practicable but no later than thirty (30) days after Executive
is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature
of such claim and the date on which such claim is to be paid. Executive shall
not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 60-day period following the
date on which Executive gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period
ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due).
If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such
period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall: (i) give the
Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such
claim; (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the
Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including,
without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by
an attorney selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive;
(iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest
such claim; and (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings
relating to such claim. The Company shall control all proceedings taken in
connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any
and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the
taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either
direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the
claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest
to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts as the Company shall
determine.

     

    4.1.4           Refunds.  If, after receipt by
Executive of an amount advanced by the Company, Executive becomes entitled to
receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall promptly pay to
the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or
credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto).

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    4.2          Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any
inconsistent provision of this Agreement, to the extent the Company determines
in good faith that (a) one or more of the payments or benefits received or
to be received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement in connection with
Executive’s termination of employment would constitute deferred compensation
subject to the rules of Section 409A of the Code, and (b) Executive is
a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code, then only to the
extent required to avoid Executive’s incurrence of any additional tax or
interest under Section 409A, such payment or benefit will be delayed until
the earliest date following Executive’s “separation from service” within the
meaning of Section 409A which will permit Executive to avoid such
additional tax or interest. The Company and Executive agree to negotiate in good
faith to reform any provisions of this Agreement to maintain to the maximum
extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provisions without
violating the provisions of Section 409A, if the Company deems such
reformation necessary or advisable pursuant to guidance under Section 409A
to avoid the incurrence of any such interest and penalties. Such reformation
shall not result in a reduction of the aggregate amount of payments or benefits
under this Agreement.
