 WHEREAS, Employee’s
employment was terminated on January 15, 2005 (the “Termination Date”);

 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made herein,
the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 COVENANTS

  
 1. Consideration. The Company agrees to pay
Employee the equivalent of his/her base salary, less applicable withholding, for a period of six (6) months from the Termination Date. The first payment will be made on the first regular payroll date following the Effective Date of this Agreement
and will continue, thereafter, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices, for six (6) months (the “Payment Period”). During the Payment Period, Employee will not be entitled to accrual of any employee benefits,
including, but not limited to, vesting in stock options or vacation benefits. 
  
 2. Stock. The Parties agree that for purposes of determining the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which Employee is entitled to purchase from the Company, pursuant to the exercise of
outstanding options, the Employee will be considered to have vested only up to the Termination Date. Employee acknowledges that as of the Termination Date, he will have vested in 139,583 options and no more. The exercise of any stock options shall
continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Stock Option Agreements. 

 3. Benefits. Employee’s health insurance benefits will continue for a period of six (6)
months, and will cease on July 31, 2005, subject to Employee’s right to continue his health insurance under COBRA. Employee’s participation in all other benefits and incidents of employment ceased on the Termination Date. Employee ceased
accruing employee benefits, including, but not limited to, vacation time and paid time off, as of the Termination Date. 
  
 4. Confidential Information. Employee shall continue to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information of the Company
and shall continue to comply with the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement between Employee and the Company. Employee shall return all of the Company’s property and confidential and proprietary information in his possession to
the Company. By signing this Agreement, Employee represents and declares under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that he has returned all Company property. 
  
 5. Payment of Salary. Employee acknowledges and represents that the Company has paid all salary, wages, bonuses,
accrued vacation, commissions and any and all other benefits due to Employee. 
  
 6. Release of Claims. Employee agrees that the foregoing consideration represents settlement in full of all outstanding obligations owed to Employee by the Company and its officers, managers, supervisors,
agents and employees. Employee, on his own behalf, and on behalf of his/her respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns, hereby fully and forever releases the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, investors,
shareholders, administrators, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor and successor corporations, and assigns (the “Releasees”), from, and agree not to sue concerning, any claim, duty, obligation or cause of action relating to any
matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that Employee may possess arising from any omissions, acts or facts that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Agreement including, without
limitation: 
  
 (a) any and all claims relating
to or arising from Employee’s employment relationship with the Company and the termination of that relationship; 
  
 (b) any and all claims relating to, or arising from, Employee’s right to purchase, or actual purchase of shares of stock of the
Company, including, without limitation, any claims for fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty under applicable state corporate law, and securities fraud under any state or federal law; 
  
 (c) any and all claims under the law of any jurisdiction
including, but not limited to, wrongful discharge of employment; constructive discharge from employment; termination in violation of public policy; discrimination; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of a covenant of good faith and
fair dealing, both express and implied; promissory estoppel; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic
advantage; unfair business practices; defamation; libel; slander; negligence; personal injury; assault; battery; invasion of privacy; false imprisonment; and conversion;

 (d) any and all claims for violation of any federal, state or municipal statute,
including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee

Act, and the California Labor Code, including, but not limited to Labor Code sections 1400-1408;

 (f) any and all claims arising out of any other laws and
regulations relating to employment or employment discrimination;

 The Company and Employee
agree that the release set forth in this section shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. This release does not extend to any obligations incurred under this Agreement. 
  
 7. Acknowledgement of Waiver of Claims Under ADEA. Employee
acknowledges that he/she is waiving and releasing any rights he/she may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”) and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. Employee and the Company agree that

of value to which Employee was already entitled. Employee further acknowledges that he has been advised by this writing that 
  
 (a) he should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; 
  
 (b) he has up to twenty-one (21) days within which to
consider this Agreement;

days following his/her execution of this Agreement to revoke the Agreement; 
  
 (d) this Agreement shall not be effective until the revocation period has expired; and

 8. Unknown Claims. Employee represents that he/she is not aware of any claim by him other than the
claims that are released by this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that he has had the opportunity to be advised by legal counsel and is familiar with the following principle: 
  
 A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF
EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 
  
 Employee, being aware of said code section, agrees to expressly waive any rights he may have thereunder, as well as under any other
statute or common law principles of similar effect. 
  
 9. No
Pending or Future Lawsuits. Employee represents that he has no lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in his name, or on behalf of any other person or entity, against the Company or any other person or entity referred to herein. Employee also
represents that he does not intend to bring any claims on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the Company or any other person or entity referred to herein. In addition, Employee agrees to make a reasonable effort to
assist Company with any future litigation relating to Employee’s actions during his employment with the Company, including responding to questions cooperating with investigations, providing any relevant documents or information in
Employee’s possession and attending depositions. 
  
 10.
Application for Employment. While Company may offer to re-hire Employee, Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of this Agreement, he shall not be entitled to any employment with the Company, and he hereby waives any right, or
alleged right, of employment or re-employment with the Company. Employee further agrees that he will not apply for employment with the Company. 
  
 11. Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledge that Employee’s agreement to keep the terms and conditions of this Agreement confidential was a
material factor on which all parties relied in entering into this Agreement. Employee hereto agrees to use his best efforts to maintain in confidence the existence of this Agreement, the contents and terms of this Agreement, and the consideration
for this Agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Settlement Information”). Employee agrees to take every reasonable precaution to prevent disclosure of any Settlement Information to third parties, and agrees that there will be
no publicity, directly or indirectly, concerning any Settlement Information. Employee agrees to take every precaution to disclose Settlement Information only to those attorneys, accountants, governmental entities, and family members who have a
reasonable need to know of such Settlement Information. 
  
 12.
No Cooperation. Employee agrees he will not act in any manner that might damage the business of the Company. Employee agrees that he will not encourage, counsel or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of
any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against any of the Releasees, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so. Employee shall inform the Company in writing within three (3) days of
receiving any such subpoena or other court order. 
  
 13.
Non-Disparagement. Both parties agree to refrain from any defamation, libel or slander of the other party, and any tortious interference with the contracts, relationships and prospective economic advantage of the other party. Employee agrees
that he shall direct all inquiries by potential future employers to the Director of Human Resources.

 14. Non-Solicitation. Employee agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately
following the Effective Date of this Agreement, Employee shall not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees or consultants to leave their employment, or attempt to do so, either for
himself or any other person or entity. 
  
 15. Breach.
Employee acknowledges and agrees that any breach of any provision of this Agreement, except as permitted by paragraph 7(e), shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Company immediately to recover and/or cease the
severance benefits provided to Employee under this Agreement. 
  
 16. No Admission of Liability. The Parties understand and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of actual or potential disputed claims. No action taken by the Parties hereto, or either of them,
either previously or in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be: 
  
 (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any claims made or any potential claims; or 
  
 (b) an acknowledgment or admission by either party of any
fault or liability whatsoever to the other party or to any third party. 
  
 17. Costs. The Parties shall each bear their own costs, expert fees, attorneys’ fees and other fees incurred in connection with this Agreement, except as provided herein. 
  
 18. Arbitration. The Parties agree that any and all disputes arising
out of the terms of this Agreement, their interpretation, and any of the matters herein released, shall be subject to binding arbitration in Santa Clara County before the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution
of Employment Disputes, supplemented by the California Code of Civil Procedure. The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration
award. The Parties agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration shall be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The Parties hereby agree to waive their right to have any dispute between them resolved in a court of law by a
judge or jury. This paragraph will not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the Parties and the subject matter of their dispute relating to Employee’s
obligations under this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement. 
  
 19. Authority. The Company represents and warrants that the undersigned has the authority to act on behalf of the Company and to bind the Company and all who may claim through it to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Employee represents and warrants that he has the capacity to act on his own behalf and on behalf of all who might claim through him to bind them to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each party warrants and represents that there are no
liens or claims of lien or assignments in law or equity or otherwise of or against any of the claims or causes of action released herein. 
  
 20. No Representations. Each party represents that it has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney, and has carefully read and understands
the scope and effect of the provisions of this Agreement. In entering into this Agreement, neither party has relied upon any representations or statements made by the other party hereto which are not specifically set forth in this Agreement.

 21. Severability. In the event that any provision, or any portion thereof, becomes or is declared
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision or portion of said provision. 
  
 22. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and
Employee concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee’s relationship with the Company, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties concerning the subject matter of this
Agreement and Employee’s relationship with the Company, with the exception of the Stock Option Agreement, the Stock Plan, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Indemnity Agreement. 
  
 23. No Waiver. The failure of the Company to insist upon the performance of any of the terms and conditions in this
Agreement, or the failure to prosecute any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed thereafter as a waiver of any such terms or conditions. This entire Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if
no such forbearance or failure of performance had occurred. 
  
 24. No Oral Modification. This Agreement may only be amended in a writing signed by Employee and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 EXHIBIT 10.1 
  
 REAFFIRMATION, CONSENT AND AMENDMENT OF INTERCREDITOR AND 
 SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT 
  
 Dated as of October 29, 2004

have the meaning given in the VCAT Agreement. 
  
 Reference is
made to that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (as the same may from time to time be supplemented, modified, amended, restated or extended, the “October 2004 Loan Agreement”) among the Barona Tribal Gaming Authority (the
“Borrower”), the Administrative Agent and the lenders from time party thereto dated as of October 29, 2004. 
  
 The terms of this document shall be effective as of the Restatement Effective Date as defined in the October 2004 Loan Agreement.

Agreement to the extent it amends or otherwise modifies any provision of the Permanent Loan Agreement (as defined in that certain Reaffirmation, Consent and Amendment of Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement dated as of July 2, 2001 between VCAT
and the Administrative Agent). VCAT confirms that (i) the obligations of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Senior Lenders constitute “Senior Indebtedness” under the VCAT Agreement, (ii) the “Lenders” as defined in
the October 2004 Loan Agreement are “Senior Lenders” under the VCAT Agreement and (iii) references to the Tribal Companion Agreement shall be deemed references to the Tribal Agreement as defined in the October 2004 Loan Agreement.

  
 The parties hereto agree that (i) Section 4a of the VCAT
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting “Subject only to Section 26 of this Agreement,” therefrom and (ii) Section 26 of the VCAT Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety. 
  
 VCAT hereby acknowledges and agrees that except as specifically set forth herein, the VCAT Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and shall be fully applicable to the October 2004 Loan Agreement and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed by VCAT and that all references to the “Loan Agreement” in the VCAT Agreement shall be references to the October 2004
Loan Agreement. 
  
 This document may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each one of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
  

This document has been delivered and accepted at and shall be deemed to have been made in the State of California, and shall be interpreted, and the
rights and liabilities of the parties hereto determined, in accordance with the internal laws (as opposed to conflicts of laws provisions) of the State of California.
