|--------|----|---------------|

|   | a. | Director's Fees. In      consideration of the services to be rendered under this Agreement as a      member of the Board of Directors and for serving on various committees of      the Board of Directors, Director shall receive annual compensation of      $48,000, payable in quarterly installments of $12,000 per quarter. At the      Director’s election, such fees shall be payable either in cash or in      shares of Company stock. After an election is made by the Director, the      Director can change his election upon 30 days prior written notice to the      Chief Financial Officer of the Company, or in his absence, to another      appropriate officer of the Company, and the new payment election shall be      effective for the next payment date after the notice was given. In the      event that such fees are paid in the form of common stock, the number of      shares issued will be determined by dividing $12,000 by the average      closing price on the NASDAQ Capital Market of PokerTek common stock for      the 10 business days preceding the end of the quarterly period; provided,      however, that if such average price per share calculation is less than the      closing bid price on the effective date of this agreement, such closing      bid price on the date of this agreement shall be  used. |

In the event that any covenant, condition or other      provision contained in this Agreement is held to be invalid, void or      illegal by any court of competent jurisdiction, the same shall be deemed      severable from the remainder thereof, and shall in no way affect, impair      or invalidate any other covenant, condition or other provision therein      contained.
