Adelson, the Company or its Affiliates, subsidiaries and related entities, their agents, employees, officers, directors, successors, or assigns.




		
	9.5
	Cooperation.  At any time following the Termination Date, Employee shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in any litigation or administrative proceedings involving any matters with which Employee was involved during his employment by the Company.  The Company shall reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses, if any, incurred in providing such assistance including the value of the time expended in testifying measured at the rate of pay that Employee is then receiving from a subsequent employer.  For the purpose of this section 9.5, reasonable cooperation shall mean, at Employee’s option, testifying by deposition at Employee’s principal residence or principal place of employment if different from Clark County, Nevada.




		
	10.
	Equitable Relief.    Employee covenants, represents and warrants that in the event of the breach of Sections 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 or 9.4: (a) money damages would not adequately compensate such a breach; (b) irreparable harm would result to the Company or to the Company’s Affiliates for which the Company is authorized to seek relief; (c) the balance of the equities between the Company or its Affiliates and Employee would favor the entry of equitable relief in favor of the Company or its Affiliates; and (d) the public interest would favor the entry of equitable relief in favor of the Company or its Affiliates.  For the purpose of this Agreement, equitable relief shall include without limitation preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, specific performance and temporary restraining orders. Equitable relief shall be in addition to all other remedies available to the Company through arbitration as provided in this Agreement.  Except as provided in the next sentence, Employee shall not contest the entry in favor of the Company or its Affiliates of equitable relief in the event of a breach described in this Section and in the event of a breach Employee irrevocably admits to the inadequacy of money damages under (a) above, irreparable harm under (b) above, the balance of the equities in favor of the Company under (c) above and the public interest in favor equitable relief under (d) above.  The defense of Employee in the event of any action for equitable relief shall be limited to the assertion, provided the same can be made in good faith and with an adequate evidentiary basis, that the breach alleged by the Company did not occur.

	25.
	Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Nevada without reference to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.




		
	26.
	Section 409A.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), each of the payments that may be made under this Agreement are designated as 






	
			
	Employment Agreement
	17
	Employee Initials: /s/GT









separate payments.   In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, with respect to payments of any amounts that are considered to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, references to “termination of employment” (and substantially similar phrases) shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 409A.  It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein, Employee shall be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on or for Employee’s account in connection with this Agreement (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A), and neither the Company nor any affiliate shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold Employee (or any beneficiary) harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Employee is deemed to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409(a)(2)(B)(i), no payments that are “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A that are made by reason of Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made to Employee prior to the date that is six months after the date of Employee’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, Employee’s date of death.  Immediately following any applicable six-month delay, all such delayed payments will be paid in a single lump sum.  In addition, for a period of six months following the date of separation from service, to the extent that the Company reasonably determines that any of the benefit plan coverage described in Section 8.1(c) may not be exempt from U.S. federal income tax, Employee shall in advance pay to the Company an amount equal to the stated taxable cost of such coverage for six months.  At the end of such six-month period, Employee shall be entitled to receive from the Company a reimbursement of the amounts paid by Employee for such coverage.  To the extent that any reimbursements pursuant to this Agreement are taxable to Employee, any such reimbursement payment due to Employee shall be paid to Employee as promptly as practicable, and in all events on or before the last day of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred.  Any such reimbursements are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such benefits and reimbursements that Employee receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such benefits or reimbursements that Employee receives in any other taxable year.  Except as permitted under Section 409A, any deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A and is payable to or for Employee’s benefit under any Company-sponsored plan, program, agreement or arrangement may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by Employee to the Company.


		
	27.
	Headings.  The headings of the sections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.




		
	27.
	Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement with the same effect as if all Parties had signed the same signature page and a signature page delivered by telecopier shall be as effective as if an original copy had been delivered.
