SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

This
Separation Agreement and General Release (“Agreement”), effective as of August 13, 2007 (the “Effective
Date”), is made and entered into by you,  Katrina L. Helmkamp,  on behalf of
yourself, your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns
(collectively referred to as “you” or “Employee”) and The
ServiceMaster Company, on behalf of itself, its divisions, subsidiaries,
affiliates, related companies, predecessors, successors, assigns, and their
officers, directors, employees, insurers, stockholders, and agents
(collectively referred to as “ServiceMaster”).  In consideration of the mutual covenants in
this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.             Separation Date.  You are voluntarily terminating your
employment with ServiceMaster, which employment will end on August 17, 2007 (“Separation
Date”).  You agree to remain employed
through the Separation Date. You will continue to be paid your base salary at
an annual rate of $463,500 through and including the Separation Date in
accordance with the payroll practices of ServiceMaster.

2.             Duties. 
From and after the Effective Date, you shall not be required to be
present in your office in Memphis, Tennessee; provided, however, that you shall
make yourself available during normal business hours for the purpose of
transitioning your duties and responsibilities and, upon reasonable request,
shall commute to your office in Memphis for the purpose of transitioning your
duties and responsibilities.

3.             Separation Pay.  In connection with your
termination of employment, ServiceMaster agrees to pay you, within five (5)
business days after your Separation Date, by lump sum cash payment, a gross
amount equal to $1,836,750, less applicable payroll withholdings and other
deductions.  If your employment is
terminated prior to the Separation Date by ServiceMaster for Cause, you will
forfeit all rights to any payment under this section.  As used in this Agreement, Cause shall mean:

(1)            a material breach of your duties and
responsibilities which do not differ in any material respect from your duties
and responsibilities during the 90-day period immediately prior to July 24,
2007 (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness)
which is demonstrably willful and deliberate on your part, which is committed
in bad faith or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best
interests of ServiceMaster and which is not remedied in a reasonable period of
time after receipt of written notice from ServiceMaster specifying such breach
and period of time; or

(2)           your commission of a felony or
misdemeanor involving any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty or any other
intentional misconduct by you that materially and adversely affects the business
affairs or reputation of ServiceMaster or an affiliated company.

4.             Group Insurance.   For a period of two years commencing on the
Separation Date, ServiceMaster and its affiliated companies shall continue to
keep in full force and effect all 

policies
of medical, accident, disability and life insurance with respect to you and
your dependents with the same level of coverage, upon the same terms and
otherwise to the same extent as such policies are in effect as of the date of
this Agreement or, if more favorable to you, as provided generally with respect
to other peer employees of ServiceMaster and its affiliated companies, and
ServiceMaster and you shall share the costs of the continuation of such
insurance coverage in the same proportion as such costs are shared as of the
date of this Agreement.  After the
expiration of such two-year period, you shall be entitled to continue your
medical coverage under Federal law (COBRA).

5.             PSRP. 
Your participation and your eligibility to participate in the ServiceMaster
Profit Sharing and Retirement Plan (“PSRP”) will end at the close of
business on the Separation Date.  Any
amounts to be paid, distributed, rolled over, or held under the PSRP will be
paid, distributed, rolled over or held in accordance with the terms of the PSRP
and applicable rules and regulations.

6.             Deferred Compensation Plan.  If you participate in or are eligible to
participate in ServiceMaster’s Deferred Compensation Plan, your participation
and your eligibility to participate in the ServiceMaster Deferred Compensation
Plan (“DCP”) will end on the Separation Date.  Any amounts to be paid or distributed under
the DCP will be paid or distributed in accordance with the terms of the DCP and
your elections.

7.             ABP and CPP.  Your participation and your
eligibility to participate in the ServiceMaster 2007 Annual Bonus Plan and 2007
Corporate Performance Plan will end on the Separation Date.

8.             Vacation.  On the Separation Date  you will be paid for any unused, earned vacation days.

9.             Release. 
In exchange for the agreements described in Sections 3 and 4, you hereby agree to waive and
release and forever discharge ServiceMaster and its respective past and present
directors, managers, officers, shareholders, agents, employees, attorneys,
servants, parent corporations, subsidiaries, divisions, limited partnerships,
affiliated corporations, and successors and assigns, and each of them,
separately and collectively (“Releasees”), from any and all existing
claims, charges, complaints, liens, demands, causes of action, obligations,
damages and liabilities, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that you
ever had, now have or may claim to have against Releasees including, but not
limited to, claims and causes of action arising out of or in any way related to
your employment with or separation from ServiceMaster, to any services
performed for ServiceMaster, to any status, term or condition in such
employment, or to any physical or mental harm or distress from such employment
or non-employment or claim to any hire, rehire or future employment of any kind
by ServiceMaster.  This includes, but is
not limited to, claims based on express or implied contract, covenants of good
faith and fair dealing, wrongful discharge, claims under federal, state, and
local laws, regulations and ordinances, including but not limited to Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Americans
with Disabilities Act and the Age Discrimination in 

Employment
Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), claims for
violation of public policy, tort or common law; and claims for additional
compensation or damages or attorneys’ fees. 
You understand that this Agreement includes a release of all known and
unknown claims to the date of this Agreement. This Release does not, however, apply to or
waive any rights you may have under applicable worker’s compensation laws.  Moreover, nothing in this Agreement will
prohibit you from filing a charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission.

10.           Covenant Not to Sue.  You agree that you will not commence, aid, or
maintain any action or other legal proceeding based upon any claim arising out
of or related to the matters released in this Agreement, except for the purpose
of enforcing this Agreement or as required by law.

11.           Acknowledgements.  You further agree that:

have been advised to consult an attorney regarding this Agreement;

have been offered forty-five (45) days to consider this Agreement;

·                                          You
have seven (7) calendar days to revoke the Agreement after you sign it.  If you want to revoke it, you must deliver a
written revocation to Sandi Pearlman, Vice
President and Associate General Counsel, Labor & Employment, 860 Ridge Lake
Blvd, Memphis, Tennessee 38120 within seven days after you sign the
Agreement.  If you do not revoke it, the
Agreement will become effective on the eighth day after you sign it; and

·                                          The
promises contained in Sections 3 and 4 are consideration for your signing this
Agreement and represent payments and benefits that you are not otherwise
entitled to receive from ServiceMaster.

12.           Certain Covenants:

(a)           From
the date you sign this Agreement until July 24, 2008, you shall not in any
manner, directly or indirectly (whether as owner, stockholder, director,
officer, employee, principal, agent, consultant, independent contractor,
partner or otherwise), in North America or any other geographic area in which
ServiceMaster or any subsidiary of ServiceMaster is then directly or indirectly
conducting business, own, manage, operate, control, participate in, perform
services for, or otherwise carry on, a business similar to or 

competitive with
the business conducted by ServiceMaster or any subsidiary of ServiceMaster.

(b)           From
the date you sign this Agreement until January 24, 2009, you shall not in any
manner, directly or indirectly attempt to induce any employee of ServiceMaster
or any subsidiary of ServiceMaster to terminate his or her employment for any
purpose whatsoever or any attempt directly or indirectly to solicit the trade
or business of any current or prospective customer, supplier or partner of
ServiceMaster or any subsidiary of ServiceMaster.

(c)           You
shall not, at any time, make use of or disclose, directly or indirectly, any
(i) trade secret or other confidential or secret information of ServiceMaster
or any subsidiary of ServiceMaster or (ii) other technical, business,
proprietary or financial information of ServiceMaster not available to the
public generally or to the competitors of ServiceMaster or any subsidiary of
ServiceMaster (“Confidential Information”), except to the extent that
such Confidential Information (1) becomes a matter of public record or is
published in a newspaper, magazine or other periodical available to the general
public, other than as a result of any act or omission by you or (2) is required
to be disclosed by any law, regulation or order of any court or regulatory
commission, department or agency.  You
shall return all Confidential Information in any form (including, but not
limited to, data stored by computer) to ServiceMaster on or before the
Separation Date.

(d)           If,
at any time of enforcement of this section, a court or an arbitrator holds that
the restrictions stated in this Agreement are unreasonable under circumstances
then existing, ServiceMaster and you agree that the maximum period or scope
reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period
or scope and that the court or arbitrator shall revise the restrictions
contained in this Agreement to cover the maximum period and scope permitted by
law.

(e)           You
acknowledge that any breach of this section will result in serious and
irreparable injury to ServiceMaster for which ServiceMaster cannot be
adequately compensated by monetary damages alone.  You agree, therefore, that, in addition to
any other remedy ServiceMaster may have, ServiceMaster will be entitled to seek
both preliminary and permanent injunctive relief (to the extent permitted by
law) without the necessity of proving actual damages and/or the posting of a
bond.

13.           Return of ServiceMaster Property. You agree
to return to ServiceMaster all ServiceMaster property, equipment and materials
prior to the Separation Date, including, but not limited to, the following
materials provided to you in the course of your employment with ServiceMaster:
any ServiceMaster automobile; any laptop computer and peripherals; any cell
phone; any telephone calling cards; keys; ServiceMaster identification card;
any credit cards; and all written or graphic materials (and all copies)
relating in any way to ServiceMaster’s business, including documents, manuals,
computer files, diskettes, customer lists and reports.

14.           Assistance. 
You agree that, subject to reimbursement by ServiceMaster of reasonable
costs and expenses, you will cooperate fully with ServiceMaster and its counsel
with respect to any matter (including, but not limited to litigation,
investigation or government proceeding) which relates to matters with which you
were involved during your employment with ServiceMaster. You further agree to
notify ServiceMaster’s General Counsel immediately upon your being asked to
assist or supply information to any person or entity regarding any civil claim
or possible claim against any member of ServiceMaster, and also to give such
notice in the event you do in fact assist or supply information to any such
person or entity.

15.           Non-Disparagement.  You agree that in accordance with ethical and
professional standards, you will refrain from taking actions or making
statements, written or oral, which disparage or defame the goodwill or
reputation of ServiceMaster, its directors, officers, executives, shareholders,
subsidiaries, parent companies, and employees or statements which could
adversely affect the morale of other employees. If it is determined that you
have violated the promises made in this provision, ServiceMaster shall be
entitled to recover from you all monetary amounts or benefits paid to you
pursuant to this Agreement.

16.           Assignment. 
You agree that the rights and benefits provided to you under this
Agreement are personal to you and no such right or benefit will be subject to
alienation, assignment or transfer except as required by law; provided,
however, that nothing in this section will preclude you from designating a
beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit payable on your death.

17.           No Admission.  You and ServiceMaster acknowledge that this
Agreement does not constitute an admission by ServiceMaster of any liability or
wrongdoing whatsoever.

18.           Entire Agreement.  You and ServiceMaster agree that this
Agreement constitutes the complete understanding between you and ServiceMaster
regarding the matters herein and that no other promises or agreements regarding
the matters herein, express or implied, will be binding between you and
ServiceMaster unless signed in writing by you and ServiceMaster. This Agreement
fully supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements or understandings,
if any, between you and ServiceMaster on any matter that is addressed in this
Agreement, including but not limited to, your change in control severance
agreement executed between you and ServiceMaster; it being understood, however,
that this Agreement is not intended to affect the terms of any option to
purchase common stock of ServiceMaster, stock appreciation rights relating to
common stock of ServiceMaster, restricted common stock of ServiceMaster, or any
other equity award of ServiceMaster.  
This Agreement may not be amended except in writing signed by you and
the Senior Vice President, Human Resources of ServiceMaster.

19.           Severability.  You and ServiceMaster agree that to the
extent that any portion of this Agreement may be held to be invalid or legally
unenforceable, the remaining portions will not be affected and will be given
full force and effect.

20.           Arbitration.  Any dispute or controversy between you and
ServiceMaster, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach
of this Agreement, or otherwise, shall be settled by arbitration in Memphis,
Tennessee administered by the American Arbitration Association, with any such
dispute or controversy arising under this Agreement being so administered in
accordance with its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes  then in effect, and judgment on the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.  The arbitrator shall have the
authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction
could order or grant, including, without limitation, the issuance of an
injunction.  However, either party may,
without inconsistency with this arbitration provision, apply to any court
having jurisdiction over such dispute or controversy and seek interim
provisional, injunctive or other equitable relief until the arbitration award
is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.  Except as necessary in court proceedings to
enforce this arbitration provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to obtain
interim relief, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence,
content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written
consent of both parties.  You and
ServiceMaster acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving
interstate commerce.  Notwithstanding any
choice of law provision included in this Agreement, the United States Federal
Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this
arbitration provision.

21.           No Waiver. 
The failure to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this
Agreement, or to require at any time performance by the other party of any of the
provisions hereof, will in no way be construed to be a waiver of such
provisions or to affect either the validity of this Agreement or any part
hereof or the right of either party thereafter to enforce each and every
provision in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

22.           Notices. 
All notices required hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed
given upon receipt if delivered personally (receipt of which is confirmed), or
by courier service promising overnight delivery (with delivery confirmed the
next day), or three (3) business days after deposit in the U.S. Mail, certified
with return receipt requested.  All
notices will be addressed as follows:

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECOND
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”)
is entered into as of  August 14, 2007
with reference to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
January 3, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Herbst Gaming, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”)
and Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
are used with the meanings set forth for those terms in the Credit
Agreement.   The parties hereto hereby
agree with reference to the following facts:

A.            Borrower has requested a one time waiver of the financial
covenants contained in Sections 7.12, 7.13 and 7.14 of the Credit Agreement
(the “Financial Covenants”) for the Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2007.

B.            It is anticipated that, following the delivery of revised
projections referred to in Section 2, below, Borrower will request an
additional amendment to the Credit Agreement which will address any required
revisions to the Financial Covenants and any related revision to the interest
rates and other terms of the Credit Agreement required by the applicable
Lenders.

NOW,
THEREFORE, Borrower and the Administrative Agent, acting with the consent of
the Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement,
agree to amend the Credit Agreement as follows:

1.             The Comprehensive Amendment.  Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders are
not required to enter into any future amendments or waivers of  the Credit Agreement, and that the execution
of any amendment of the type described in Recital B above shall be in the
discretion of the Lenders.  

2.             Waiver.  The Lenders hereby waive the covenants
contained in Sections 7.12, 7.13 and 7.14 of the Credit Agreement for the
Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2007 only. 
This is a one time waiver, and the Lenders shall be entitled to require
full compliance with the covenants set forth in such Sections as of September
30, 2007 and each subsequent Fiscal Quarter. 

3.             Covenant.  Borrower covenants that it shall, not later
than October 31, 2007, deliver to the Administrative Agent (and the
Administrative Agent shall provide to each “private side” lender (i.e., those
which have elected to receive material non-public information), revised
projections of its anticipated financial performance in a format reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

4.             Representations and Warranties.  Borrower represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

(a)           Giving effect to the
execution and delivery of this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and remains continuing; and

(b)           Each of the representations and
warranties set forth in Article 5 of the Credit Agreement are true and correct
as of the date of this Amendment (other than those representations which relate
solely to a prior date, each of which was true as of that date).

5.             Increase to Interest Rate and
Letter of Credit Fees.  Borrower
hereby agrees that, effective as of the effective date of this Amendment (i.e.,
August 14, 2007), the Applicable Rate shall be

 1
 

increased to (a) 3.00% per annum for each Loan which
is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) 1.75% per annum for each Loan which is a Base
Rate Loan, and (c) 3.00% per annum for each Letter of Credit.  Borrower further agrees that in the event
that the Borrower’s corporate family rating is reduced by Moody’s to B2, then
during the period in which such ratings are effective, the Applicable Rate
shall be increased to (a) 3.50% per annum for each Loan which is a Eurodollar
Rate Loan, (b) 2.25% per annum for each Loan which is a Base Rate Loan, and (c)
3.50% per annum for each Letter of Credit. 
No reductions to the Applicable Rate to rates below the rates set forth
in this Section (including any elimination of the 50 basis point increase
resulting from ratings declines) will be effective without the written consent
of each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement.

6.             Prepayment Premium.  Notwithstanding Section 2.07(a) of the Credit
Agreement,  in the event that Borrower
makes any prepayment of the Term B Loans or the Delay Draw Term B Loans (other
than the mandatory prepayments required by the terms of Section 2.07(d), (e),
(f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement), Borrower shall concurrently pay to the
Lenders holding the Term B Loans or the Delayed Draw Term Loans so prepaid, a
prepayment premium at the applicable rate set forth below, in each case times
the principal amount of the Term B Loans or Delay Draw Term Loans prepaid:

	
  Prepayments made during the period between:

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
  Applicable Prepayment Premium

  	
   

  
	
  August 14, 2007
  and August 13, 2008

  	
   

  	
  2%
  of the principal amount prepaid

  	
   

  
	
  August 14, 2008
  and August 13, 2009

  	
   

  	
  1%
  of the principal amount prepaid

  	
   

  
	
  August 14, 2009 and
  thereafter

  	
   

  	
  0%

  	
   

  

 

Each amendment, modification or waiver of the
provisions of this Section 6 shall require the written consent of each of Lender
directly affected thereby.

7.             Conditions; Effectiveness.  The
effectiveness of this Amendment shall be subject to the conditions precedent
that, on or before the effective date of this Amendment:

(a)          The Administrative Agent shall have

time) on Friday, August 10, 2007, an amendment fee in respect of its Revolving
Commitments and Term Loans at the rate advised to the Lenders by the
Administrative Agent (which amendment fee rate shall be equal for each Lender

Agreement.  Except as hereby expressly amended, the Credit
Agreement remains in full force and effect, and is hereby ratified and
confirmed in all respects.
