        FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned PDS GAMING CORPORATION, PDS GAMING CORPORATION—NEVADA, PDS GAMING CORPORATION—COLORADO, and PDS GAMING
CORPORATION—MISSISSIPPI (severally and collectively "Borrower") promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank") at its office at Nevada Regional Commercial
Banking Office, 3800 Howard Hughes Pkwy., 4th Floor, Las Vegas, Nevada, or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in
immediately available funds, the principal sum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on each advance
from the date of its disbursement as set forth herein. 

INTEREST: 

        (a)    Interest.    The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a
360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a rate per annum one percent (1.0%) above the Prime Rate in effect from time to time. The "Prime Rate" is a base rate that Bank from time to time establishes and
which serves as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for those loans making reference thereto. Each change in the rate of interest hereunder shall become effective on the
date each Prime Rate change is announced within Bank. 

        (b)    Payment of Interest.    Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the first day of each month,
commencing March 1, 2002. 

        (c)    Default Interest.    From and after the maturity date of this Note, or such earlier date as all principal owing
hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note. 

BORROWING
AND REPAYMENT: 

        (a)    Borrowing and Repayment.    Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or
wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Note;
provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount stated above. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time
shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for any Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by
the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on June 1, 2003. 

        (b)    Advances.    Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum stated above, may be made by the
holder at the oral or written request of (i) Peter Cleary or Martha Vlcek, any one acting alone, who are authorized to request advances and direct the disposition of any advances until written
notice of the revocation of such authority is received by the holder at the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with respect to advances deposited to the credit of any deposit account
of any Borrower, which advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of each Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than those
authorized to 

1

 

request advances may have authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person requesting an advance is or has been authorized by any Borrower. 

        (c)    Application of Payments.    Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first, to any interest then due
and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof. 

EVENTS
OF DEFAULT: 

        This
Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of February 1, 2002, as amended from
time to time (the "Credit Agreement"). Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an
"Event of Default" under this Note. 

MISCELLANEOUS: 

        (a)    Remedies.    Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of this Note, at the holder's option, may
declare all sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of
dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by each Borrower, and the obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. Each Borrower
shall pay to the holder immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (to include outside counsel fees and all
allocated costs of the holder's in-house counsel), expended or incurred by the holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder's rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to
the holder under this Note, and the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief, whether incurred at the trial
or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary
proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to any Borrower or any other person or entity. 

        (b)    Obligations Joint and Several.    Should more than one person or entity sign this Note as a Borrower, the
obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint and several. 

        (c)    Governing Law.    This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Nevada.

        WHEREAS, Employer is in the business of (i) providing equipment financing and related financial advisory
services to gaming and gaming related businesses throughout the United States, (ii) buying and selling gaming devices and equipment; (iii) owning and operating casino operations; and
(iv) engaging in other related businesses; and 

        WHEREAS, Employer desires to secure the benefits of Employee's services as well as the benefits of Employee's background, knowledge,

        WHEREAS, Employee is desirous of being employed by Employer in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

        NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the

        1.    Nature of Employment and Duties of Employee. 

        a.    Employee

amended from time to time. 

        c.    Employee
shall be a full-time employee of Employer and shall devote such substantial and sufficient amounts of Employee's full energy, productive time,
ability, and attention to the business of Employer and to the performance of Employee's assigned duties, to discharge those duties in a diligent and professional manner, and not to engage in any other
activities that would materially interfere with the performance of Employee's duties under this Agreement or engage in any activity competitive with or adverse to the Employer's business or welfare as
may be reasonable and necessary to accomplish the objectives and complete the tasks assigned to Employee. Prior written consent of Employer shall be required before Employee shall undertake to perform
any outside services of a business, commercial, or professional nature, whether for compensation or otherwise. Written consent shall not be required as to Employee's reasonable participation in
educational and professional activities related to the maintenance of Employee's qualifications and stature in Employee's profession.

        2.    Term, Severance upon Non-Renewal. 

Page 1 of 10 pages

 

        a.    Employer
hereby employs, and Employee hereby accepts employment with Employer, from the Effective Date herein through the 31st day
of December of the year of said Effective Date. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew and shall continue to automatically renew for periods of  one (1) year
each until such time as: 

        i.      Employer
gives not less than thirty (30) days' written notice (on or before December 1st) to Employee that this Agreement will not be renewed;
or 

        ii.    Employee
gives not less than thirty (30) days' written notice (on or before December 1st) to Employer that this Agreement will not be
renewed; or 

        iii.    This
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 5,  Section 6, Section 7 or Section 8
of this Agreement. 

The
initial employment term, any renewals of this Agreement, and any period during which this Agreement remains in effect are hereinafter collectively referred to herein as the
"Term". 

        b.    In
the event, Employer elects not to renew this Agreement as provided in Section 2(a)(i) above, Employee shall be
entitled to a severance benefit in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Employee's then current Base Annual Salary (as defined in  Section 4(a) below), which shall be paid in a lump sum on or
before December 31st of the year such election by Employer is
made. 

        3.    Uniqueness of Services. Employee hereby acknowledges that the services to be performed by Employee's under the terms of
this Agreement are of a special and unique value. Accordingly, the obligations of Employee under this Agreement are non-assignable. 

        4.    Compensation of Employee. 

        a.    Base Annual Salary. Subject to other specific provisions in this Agreement, as compensation for services hereunder,
Employee shall receive a Base Annual Salary at the rate of not less than $210,000.00 per annum ("Base Annual
Salary"). Employee's Base Annual Salary shall be payable in equal installments on the fifteenth and last day of each month or more often at the election of Employer. 

        b.    Annual Review. Employer agrees to review the Base Annual Salary of Employee annually during the term of this Agreement.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Employer ("Compensation Committee"), in its sole discretion, may increase Employee's Base Annual
Salary dependent upon various factors which include without limitation Employee's performance, the compensation paid to similarly situated employees of businesses similar in type and size to Employer,
the financial condition of Employer, and the economic and market conditions to which Employer is or may be subject. The minutes of any Compensation Committee meeting whereby Employee's Base Annual
Salary is increased pursuant to this section shall hereafter be attached to this Agreement and such increase shall become fully incorporated into this Agreement as though set forth at length herein. 

        c.    Specific Grant of Stock Options. Employer will grant to Employee 10,000
options per year to purchase shares of Employer's common stock, which subject to Section 7 and  Section 8 herein, shall
vest over a five (5) year period. Employee's stock option rights as set forth in this subsection will be more
fully defined in a separate agreement. The stock options to be granted to Employee pursuant to this section shall be in addition to, and separate and apart, from any stock options previously granted
under any other contract or agreement preceding this Agreement. 

        d.    Benefits. Employee shall receive such benefits, fringe benefits and entitlements as is usual and customary for Employer to
provide an employee of like status and position and are consistent with Employer's established policies and procedures on employment, which may be revised from time to time in the sole discretion of
Employer. Such benefits are subject to any limitations on 

Page 2 of 10 pages

 

such benefits to officers, directors or other highly paid employees in order that such benefit programs qualify under Federal or State law for favored tax and/or other treatment. 

        e.    Discretionary Time Off. Commencing on the Effective Date, Employee shall accrue Discretionary Time Off at the rate
established by Employer's Employee Policies and Procedures Manual, as may be amended from time to time, starting at a minimum rate of 6.66 hours per pay period. 

        f.      Business Expenses. Upon submission of proper vouchers or receipts, Employer will pay or reimburse Employee for reasonable
business expenses incurred in performing Employee's duties and promoting the business of Employer. 

        g.    Possible Annual Cash Bonus. During the term of this Agreement, Employee may be paid an annual cash bonus in addition to
Employee's Base Annual Salary ("Annual Cash Bonus"). The decision to grant an Annual Cash Bonus and the amount thereof shall be within the sole and
absolute discretion of the Compensation Committee and shall be based on various factors which include without limitation Employee's performance, the compensation paid to similarly situated employees
of businesses similar in type and size to Employer, the financial condition of Employer, and the economic and market conditions to which Employer is or may be subject. Any such Annual Cash Bonus shall
be paid on or before the end of the second calendar month following the bonus calendar year and normal and customary payroll withholdings shall apply. The Employee shall not be eligible for any Annual
Cash Bonus unless this Agreement is in effect at the time of such bonus is disbursed. 

        h.    Possible Stock Option Bonus. During the term of this Agreement, Employee may be granted stock options in addition to Base
Annual Salary or other compensation as set forth above ("Stock Option Bonus"). The decision to grant a Stock Option Bonus and the amount thereof shall
be within the sole and absolute discretion of the Compensation Committee and shall be based on various factors which include without limitation Employee's performance, the compensation paid to
similarly situated
employees of businesses similar in type and size to Employer, the financial condition of Employer, and the economic and market conditions to which Employer is or may be subject. 

        5.    Termination of Employment for Cause. 

        a.    Termination for Cause. For just cause Employer may terminate this Agreement immediately at any time without further

misappropriation, embezzlement or any other action of material misconduct against Employer or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries; 

        vii.  Failure
to disclose any criminal or civil fraud charges brought against Employee at any time or failure to disclose a prior business or personal bankruptcy action
involving Employee; 

        viii.  A

        (2)  The
Employee has thereafter failed to remedy such failure to perform; 

        x.    A

        xii.  Any
acts of violence or threats of violence made by the Employee against Employer or anyone associated with Employer's business;

the position for which Employee was hired; or 

        xvi.  Gross
incompetence. 

        b.    Salary and Benefits upon Termination for Cause. In the event of termination for cause, the Employee shall be paid the
Employee's Base Annual Salary through the effective date of termination. After the effective date of termination, the Employee shall not be entitled to accrue or vest in any further salary, severance
pay, benefits, fringe benefits or entitlements except as may be required by statute or regulation of any agency or competent jurisdiction. 

        6.    Termination by Mutual Consent. The Employment Term may be terminated at any time with the mutual consent of Employer and
Employee, and upon mutually acceptable terms. 

Page 4 of 10 pages

 

        7.    Termination without Cause. In the event Employer or any successor or assignee of Employer
terminates this Agreement without cause, then in such event: 

        a.    All

(iii) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Employer; or (iv) any material change in ownership of Employer which results in a change of a majority of Employer's Board of Directors,
then in such event, at the sole discretion of Employee: 

        a.    Employee
may elect to remain an employee of Employer or any successor or assignee of Employer under such terms and conditions mutually agreed to by and between the
parties, or

        b.    Employee
may elect to terminate this Agreement and all stock options to acquire common stock of Employer granted to Employee under this Agreement or any other contract or
agreement, whether vested or not, shall become one hundred percent (100%) vested in favor of Employee; and Employee shall be entitled to a severance
benefit in an amount equal to Employee's then current Base Annual Salary, which shall be paid in a lump sum on the effective date of Employee's termination of this Agreement. 

        9.    Covenant of Confidentiality. All documents, records, files, manuals, forms, materials, supplies,
computer programs, trade secrets, customer lists, and other information which comes into Employee's possession from time to time during Employee's employment by Employer, and/or any of Employer's
subsidiaries or affiliates, shall be deemed to be confidential and proprietary to Employer and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Employer. Employee acknowledges that all such
confidential and proprietary information is confidential, proprietary, and not readily available to Employer's business competitors. On the effective date of the termination of the employment
relationship or at such other date specified by Employer, Employee agrees that Employee will return to Employer all such confidential and proprietary items (including, but not limited to, company
manuals and keys) in Employee's control or possession, and all copies thereof, and that Employee will not remove any such items from the offices of Employer. It is the intention of the parties that
the broadest possible protection be given to Employer's trade secrets and proprietary information and nothing in this Section shall in any way be construed to narrow or limit the protection and
remedies afforded by the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. 

        10.  Covenant of Non-Disclosure. Without the prior written approval of Employer, Employee
shall keep confidential and not disclose or otherwise make use of any of the confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets referred to in this Agreement nor reveal the same to any third
party whomsoever, except as required by law. 

        11.  Covenant of Non-Solicitation. 

        a.    Of Employees. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year following the effective date of
termination of the employment relationship, Employee, either on Employee's own account or for any person, firm, company or other entity, shall not solicit, interfere with or induce, or attempt to
induce, any employee of Employer, or any of its subsidiaries 

Page 5 of 10 pages

 

or affiliates to leave their employment or to breach their employment agreement, if any, with Employer. 

        b.    Of Customers. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period the longer of (i) one (1) year following
the effective date of termination of the employment relationship or (ii) the time the Covenant Against Competition (defined below) remains in effect, Employee, either on Employee's own account
or for any person, firm, company or other entity, shall not solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any
customer of Employer to purchase any products or services which compete with any products or services offered by Employer at the time of the termination of the employment relationship. 

        c.    Of Funding Sources. During the Term of this Agreement and for a period the longer of (i) one (1) year
following the effective date of termination of the employment relationship or (ii) the time the Covenant Against Competition (defined below) remains in effect, Employee, either on Employee's
own account or for any person, firm, company or other entity, shall not solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any funding source of Employer to discontinue providing funds to Employer or to provide
any products or services to any competitors of Employer as described herein. 

        12.  Covenant of Cooperation. Employee agrees to cooperate with Employer in any litigation or
administrative proceedings involving any matters with which Employee was involved during Employee's employment by Employer. Employer shall reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses incurred in
providing such assistance. 

        13.  Covenant Against Competition. 

        a.    Scope and Term. During the Term of this Agreement and for an additional period after the expiration or termination of the
employment relationship between Employer and Employee (excluding a termination as specified in Section 7 and  Section 8), which period shall be
the shorter of (i) the number of days Employee has been employed by Employer or (ii) six
(6) months, Employee shall not directly or indirectly engage in or become a partner, officer, principal, employee, consultant, investor, creditor or stockholder of any business, proprietorship,
association, firm, corporation or any other business entity which is engaged or proposes to engage or hereafter engages in any business which competes with the business of Employer and/or any of
Employer's subsidiaries or affiliates in any geographic area in which Employer conducts business at the time of the termination or expiration of the employment relationship. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent Employee from engaging in a business or accepting employment with a business, which does not provide services to the gaming industry or that is
unassociated with the gaming industry in its entirety. 

        b.    Acknowledgement of Limited Restriction. Both parties acknowledge that this Covenant only restricts employee's
re-employment in the gaming industry and does not affect Employee's employment opportunities in the non-gaming industry. Both parties further acknowledge that the employment
opportunities in the gaming industry represent only a small fraction of employment opportunities in the non-gaming industry. Employee acknowledges that the scope and term of this Covenant
Against Competition are reasonable under the circumstances and the consideration provided by this Agreement is sufficient remuneration for the limited restriction this Covenant imposes on Employee's
future employment opportunities. 

        14.  Rights to Inventions.  

         a.    Inventions Defined. "Inventions" means discoveries, concepts, and ideas,
whether patentable,
copyrightable, or not, relating to any present or prospective activities of Employer, including without limitation devices, processes, methods, formulae, techniques, and any improvements to the
foregoing. 

Page 6 of 10 pages

 

        b.    Application. This Section shall apply to all Inventions made or conceived by Employee, whether or not during the hours of
Employee's employment or with the use of Employer facilities, materials, or personnel, either solely or jointly with others, during the Term of Employee's employment by Employer and for a period of
one (1) year after any termination of such employment. 

        c.    Assignment. Employee hereby assigns and agrees to assign to Employer all of Employee's rights to Inventions and to all
proprietary rights therein, based thereon or related thereto, including without limitation applications for United States and foreign letters patent and resulting letters patent. 

        d.    Reports. Employee shall inform Employer promptly and fully of each Invention by a written report, setting forth in detail
the structures, procedures, and methodology employed and the results achieved. A report shall also be submitted by Employee upon completion of any study or research project undertaken on Employer's
behalf, whether or not in the Employee's opinion a given study or project has resulted in an Invention. 

        e.    Patents. At Employer's request and expense, Employee shall execute such documents and provide such assistance as may be
deemed necessary by Employer to apply for, defend or enforce any United States and foreign letters patent based on or related to such Inventions. 

        15.  Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Employee
acknowledges and agrees that if Employee commits a material breach of the Covenant of Confidentiality, Covenant of Non-Disclosure, Covenant of Non-Solicitation, Covenant of
Cooperation, Covenant Against Competition, or Rights to Inventions, Employer shall have the right to have the obligations of Employee specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction on the
grounds that any such breach will cause irreparable injury to Employer and money damages will not provide an adequate remedy. Such equitable remedies shall be in addition to any other remedies at law
or equity, all of which remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the obligations contained in the foregoing referenced Sections of this Agreement
are fair, do not unreasonably restrict Employee's future employment and business opportunities, are commensurate with the compensation arrangements set out in this Agreement and shall survive
termination of the employment relationship and this Agreement. 

        16.  Taxes. All compensation payable hereunder is gross and shall be subject to such withholding taxes
and other taxes as may be required by law. Employee shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes attributable to the compensation provided by this Agreement except for those taxes required by law
to be paid or withheld by Employer. Employee understands that certain benefits such as air flights, automobiles, computers, educational benefits, entertainment, club memberships, and/or travel (if
applicable) may be included in Employee's income to the extent Employee uses them for personal purposes. 

        17.  Arbitration. Any dispute that the parties to this Agreement are unable to resolve between them
and for which relief is not already provided for in this Agreement, including a claim that a party has breached this Agreement and that this Agreement should be terminated, shall be submitted to
arbitration under this paragraph. Arbitration shall take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association and Federal Arbitration
Act. The arbitrator is expressly authorized to enter an order, after hearing, granting any party to the dispute before it temporary or preliminary injunctive relief or any other relief that the
arbitrator deems appropriate including money damages. The arbitrator or any party to a proceeding before the arbitrator may invoke the jurisdiction of the District Court of the State of Nevada in
Clark County to enforce any temporary or preliminary injunction so issued by filing a petition for enforcement naming the enjoined person as respondent. Upon filing the petition, the court may enter
any order it deems appropriate for enforcement of the injunction ordered by the arbitrator.

        18.  Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereby knowingly and voluntarily waive their right to a jury
trial on any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of, directly or indirectly, this Agreement, any dealings between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof, and/or
the relationship that is being established between the parties. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court (including, without

        j.      Effective Only Upon Execution by Authorized Officers. This Agreement shall have no force or effect and shall be

hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, negotiations, representations or understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement. Any prior agreements, promises, negotiations, representations or understandings, either oral or written, not expressly set forth in this Agreement shall no force or effect.

Agreement. 

        o.    Non-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing herein, whether express or implied shall be construed to give any person
other than the parties, and their successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy of claim under or in respect of this Agreement; but this Agreement shall be held to be for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the parties, and their successors and assigns. 

        p.    Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall either be delivered

        q.    Pronouns. Masculine or feminine pronouns shall be substituted for the neuter form and vice versa, and the plural shall be
substituted for the singular form and vice versa, in any place or places herein in which the context requires such substitution or substitutions. 

        r.    Severability. Each term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement shall be viewed as separate and distinct, and
in the event that any such term, covenant, condition or provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. 

        s.    Suitability. Employee understands and acknowledges that Employee's employment is subject to the satisfactory conclusion of
a background investigation. Any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Employer may terminate this Agreement without further obligation or liability to Employee if a
background investigation of Employee reveals information which, in the reasonable judgment of Employer, (i) would materially interfere with, impede or impair the efficient and effective
performance of Employee's duties under this Agreement or (ii) could subject Employer to significant disciplinary action or cause Employer to lose or become unable to obtain or reinstate any
federal, state and/or foreign registration, license or approval material to Employer's business or the business of any Employer affiliate or subsidiary. 

        t.      Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and all its provisions. In the event the provisions of this
Agreement require any act to be done or to be taken hereunder on a date which is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, such act or action shall be deemed to have been validly done or taken on the next
succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. 

        u.    Waiver. The failure of any party to insist, in any one or more instances, upon performance of any of the provisions of
this Agreement or to take advantage of any of its rights hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. 

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have read, understood, and voluntarily executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above
written.
