               terms and conditions of such plans and programs.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this SUBSECTION 6.2, if the
Executive's employment is terminated for Cause (i) due to his having been
formally charged pursuant to SUBSECTION 1.5(A) but thereafter said charges are
dismissed or the Executive is acquitted, or (ii) due to his having been
convicted pursuant to SUBSECTION 1.5(A) but said conviction is subsequently
overturned on appeal and he is not required to submit to re-trial within six (6)
months thereafter, the Company shall have the option of reinstating the
Executive with payment of all base salary payments that would have been paid to
him had his employment not been terminated and restoration of all benefits
provided for pursuant to SECTION 4, or making a payment to him of an amount
equal to three times 160 percent of the Executive's Base Salary at the rate in

other provision of this Agreement, the Company may terminate the Executive's
employment without Cause, other than due to death or Disability, at any time
during the Term of Employment by giving written notice to the Executive. In the

Executive shall be entitled, in lieu of any other compensation and benefits
whatsoever, to:

               of the conditions set forth in SUBSECTION 8.3, and the other
               two-thirds of which shall be paid out in equal bi-weekly
               installments for the duration of the Restriction Period;

          (b)  any annual bonus awarded but not yet paid;

               providing for deferral;

          (d)  exercise, within 180 days, all stock options that have vested

               termination of employment; and

          6.5 TERMINATION DUE TO EXPIRATION OF THE TERM OF EMPLOYMENT. If
either Party elects not to extend the initial Term of Employment or any
successive Term of Employment, the Executive shall not be entitled to any
additional compensation after the expiration thereof, but such termination of
employment shall not otherwise affect accrued but unpaid compensation or
benefits provided under this Agreement or pursuant to any Company plan or
program.

taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and any
Excise Tax imposed thereon, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up
Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Total Payments.

          9.2 For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will
be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax,

          (a)  the Total Payments shall be treated as "parachute payments"
               within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all
               "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section
               280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise
               Tax, unless in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company
               and reasonably acceptable to the Executive (which opinion shall
               be provided to the Executive) such Total Payments (in whole or in
               part) (i) do not constitute parachute payments, including
               (without limitation) by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the
               Code, (ii) such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part)
               represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered,
               within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, or (iii)
               are not, in the opinion of legal counsel, otherwise subject to
               the Excise Tax, and

          (b)  the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or
               benefit shall be determined by the Company's independent auditors
               in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4)
               of the Code.

          9.3 In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be
less than the amount taken into account hereunder, the Executive shall repay to
the Company, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is
finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such
reduction plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in
Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is
determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of the
termination of the Executive's employment (including by reason of any payment
the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the initial
Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in
accordance with SUBSECTION 9.1 in respect of such excess Excise Tax (plus any
interest, penalties or additions payable by the Executive with respect to such
excess Excise Tax) at the time that the amount of such excess Excise Tax is
finally determined. The Executive and the Company shall each reasonably
cooperate with each other in connection with any administrative or judicial
proceedings concerning the existence or amount of any such subsequent liability
for Excise Tax with respect to the Total Payments.

     10. INDEMNIFICATION.

          10.1 GENERAL. The Company agrees that if the Executive is made a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an "INDEMNIFIABLE ACTION"), by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member,
employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit
plans, whether or not the basis of such Indemnifiable Action is alleged action
in an official capacity as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, while
serving as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, he shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by
Nevada law and the Company's by-laws, as the same exist or may hereafter be
amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid
in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection
therewith.

          10.2 PROCEDURE. The indemnification provided pursuant to this SECTION
10 shall be subject to the following conditions:

          (a)  The Executive must promptly give the Company written notice of
               any actual or threatened Indemnifiable Action;

          (b)  The Company will be permitted, at its option, to participate in,
               or to assume, the defense of any Indemnifiable Action;

          (c)  The Executive must provide reasonable cooperation to the Company
               in the defense of any Indemnifiable Action; and

          (d)  The Executive must refrain from settling any Indemnifiable Action
               without obtaining the Company's prior written consent, which
               consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          10.3 ADVANCEMENT OF COSTS AND EXPENSES. The Company agrees to advance
all costs and expenses referred to in SUBSECTION 10.1; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Executive agrees to repay to the Company all amounts so advanced in the
event that the Company reasonably determines in good faith that any acts or
omissions by the Executive were:

          (a)  in knowing violation of any agreement between the Executive and
               the Company;

          (b)  in bad faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing
               violation of law or that the Executive personally gained a
               financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally
               entitled; or

          (c)  for which a court, having jurisdiction in the matter, determines
               that indemnification is not lawful.

          10.4 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending an Indemnifiable Action in advance of
its final disposition conferred in this SECTION 10 shall not be exclusive of any
other right which the Executive may have or hereafter may acquire under any
statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the
Company, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise.

          10.5 D&O INSURANCE. The Company will maintain a directors' and
officers' liability insurance policy covering the Executive that provides
coverage that is reasonable in relation to the Executive's position during the
Term of Employment.

     11. COVENANT NOT ENGAGE IN CERTAIN ACTS.

          11.1 GENERAL. The Parties understand and agree that the purpose of the
restrictions contained in this SECTION 11 is to protect the goodwill and other
legitimate business interests of the Company, and that the Company would not
have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions. The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions are reasonable and do
not, and will not, unduly impair his ability to make a living after the
termination of his employment with the Company. The provisions of this SECTION
11 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.

          11.2 NON-ASSISTANCE; NON-DIVERSION. In consideration for this
Agreement to employ the Executive and the other valuable consideration provided
hereunder, the Executive agrees and covenants that during the Term of Employment
and during the Restriction Period, and except when acting on behalf of the
Company or on behalf of any Affiliate, the Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, for himself or any third party, or alone or as a member of a
partnership, or as an officer, director, shareholder or otherwise, engage in the
following acts:

          (a) divert or attempt to divert any existing business of the Company
              or any Affiliate;

          (b) accept any position or affiliation with, or render any services on
              behalf of, any Competing Business; or

                                                       Executive's Initials
                                                                            ---

          (c) hire or retain any employee of the Company or any Affiliate to
              provide services for any other Person or induce, solicit, attempt
              to solicit, encourage, divert, cause or attempt to cause any
              employee or prospective employee of the Company or any Affiliate
              to (i) terminate and/or leave such employment, or (ii) accept
              employment with anyoneother than the Company or an Affiliate.

          11.3 CESSATION/REIMBURSEMENT OF PAYMENTS. If the Executive violates
any provision of this SECTION 11, the Company may, upon giving written notice to
the Executive, immediately cease all payments and benefits that it may be
providing to the Executive pursuant to SECTION 3, SECTION 6 or SUBSECTION 7.2,
and the Executive may be required to reimburse the Company for any payments
received from, and the cash value of any benefits provided by, the Company
between the first day of the violation and the date such notice is given;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall be in addition to such other
remedies as may be available to the Company and shall not be deemed to permit
the Executive to forego or waive such payments in order to avoid his obligations
under this SECTION 11.

          11.4 SURVIVAL. The Executive agrees that the provisions of this
SECTION 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination
of the Executive's employment.

     12. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND COMPANY PROPERTY.

          12.1 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Executive understands and
acknowledges that Confidential Information constitutes a valuable asset of the
Company and its Affiliates and may not be converted to the Executive's own or
any third party's use. Accordingly, the Executive hereby agrees that he shall
not directly or indirectly, during the Term of Employment or any time
thereafter, disclose any Confidential Information to any Person not expressly
authorized by the Company to receive such Confidential Information. The
Executive further agrees that he shall not directly or indirectly, during the
Term of Employment or any time thereafter, use or make use of any Confidential
Information in connection with any business activity other than that of the
Company. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not intended
to, and does not, alter either the Company's rights or the Executive's
obligations under any state or federal statutory or common law regarding trade
secrets and unfair trade practices.

          12.2 COMPANY PROPERTY. All Company Property is and shall remain
exclusively the property of the Company. Unless authorized in writing to the
contrary, the Executive shall promptly, and without charge, deliver to the
Company on the termination of employment hereunder, or at any other time the
Company may so request, all Company Property that the Executive may then possess
or have under his control.

          12.3 REQUIRED DISCLOSURE. In the event the Executive is required by
law or court order to disclose any Confidential Information or to produce any
Company Property, the Executive shall promptly notify the Company of such
requirement and provide the Company with a copy of any court order or of any law
which requires such disclosure and, if the Company so elects, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, give the Company an adequate opportunity, at its
own expense, to contest such law or court order prior to any such required
disclosure or production by the Executive.

          12.4 SURVIVAL. The Executive agrees that the provisions of this
SECTION 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination
of the Executive's employment.

     13. MUTUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

          13.1 ARBITRABLE CLAIMS. All disputes between the Executive (and his
attorneys, successors, and assigns) and the Company (and its trustees,
beneficiaries, officers, directors, managers, affiliates, employees, agents,
successors, attorneys, and assigns) relating in any manner whatsoever to the
employment or termination of the Executive, including, without limitation, all
disputes arising under this Agreement ("ARBITRABLE CLAIMS"), shall be resolved

AGREEMENT"). Arbitrable Claims shall include, but are not limited to, claims for
compensation, claims for breach of any contract or covenant (express or
implied), and tort claims of all kinds, as well as all claims based on any
federal, state, or local law, statute or regulation, but shall not include the
claims based on the statutes enumerated in SUBSECTION 13.4 or the Company's
right to seek injunctive relief as provided in SECTION 15. Arbitration shall be
final and binding upon the Parties and shall be the exclusive remedy for all
Arbitrable Claims. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY
JUDGE OR JURY IN REGARD TO ARBITRABLE CLAIMS, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY SECTION
13.4.

          13.2 PROCEDURE. Arbitration of Arbitrable Claims shall be in
accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of
the American Arbitration Association, as amended, and as augmented in this
Agreement. Either Party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under
this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award. Otherwise, neither Party
shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit, appeal or administrative action in any
way related to an Arbitrable Claim. The initiating Party must file and serve an
arbitration claim within sixty (60) days of learning the facts giving rise to
the alleged claim. All arbitration hearings under this Agreement shall be
conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the
interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement. The fees of the arbitrator
shall be divided equally between both Parties.

          13.3 CONFIDENTIALITY. All proceedings and all documents prepared in
connection with any Arbitrable Claim shall be confidential and, unless otherwise
required by law, the subject matter and content thereof shall not be disclosed
to any Person other than the parties to the proceedings, their counsel,
witnesses and experts, the arbitrator and, if involved, the court and court
staff.

               (before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of the
               Company, on a consolidated basis for the four-fiscal quarter
               period immediately preceding the date of consummation of such
               transaction (a "Sale Event"); AND

               in office who were either directors on the Company's Board
               immediately prior to such Acquisition Event, Merger Event or Sale
               Event (or whose election or nomination for election was

severance payments, or liquidated damages, or both, and are not in the nature of
a penalty. In the event of a termination of this Agreement, neither Party shall
publish in any way or make any negative comment or statement about the other

Agreement.

          8.3 GENERAL RELEASE. No payments or benefits payable to the Executive
upon the termination of his employment pursuant to SECTIONS 6 OR 7 shall be made
to the Executive unless and until he executes a general release substantially in

effective pursuant to its terms.

          8.4 COMPLIANCE WITH THE AGREEMENT. No payments or benefits payable to
the Executive upon the termination of his employment pursuant to SECTIONS 6 OR 7
shall be made to the Executive if he fails to comply with all of the terms and

          8.5 CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS OF EXECUTIVE. No act or omission by the
Executive in breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation his failure
to execute the general release and the resulting forfeiture of termination
payments, shall be deemed to permit

the Executive to forego or waive such payments in order to avoid his
obligations under SECTION 11.

     9. SPECIAL REIMBURSEMENT.

          9.1 If any payment or benefit paid or payable, or received or to be
received, by or on behalf of the Executive in connection with a Change in
Control pursuant to SUBSECTION 7.1 or the termination of the Executive's
employment pursuant to SUBSECTION 7.2 , whether any such payments or benefits
are pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or
agreement with the Company, any Affiliate, any Person, or otherwise (the "TOTAL
PAYMENTS"), will or would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section
4999 of the Code (the "EXCISE TAX"), the Company shall pay to the Executive an
additional amount (the "GROSS-UP PAYMENT") such that, after payment by the
Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect
to such taxes) imposed upon or in respect of the Total Payments and the Gross-Up
Payments, including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and
penalties imposed with respect thereto) and any Excise Tax imposed thereon, the
Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax
imposed upon the Total Payments.

          9.2 For purposes of determining whether any of the Total Payments will
be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax,

          (a)  the Total Payments shall be treated as "parachute payments"
               within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all
               "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section
               280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated as subject to the Excise
               Tax, unless in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company
               and reasonably acceptable to the Executive (which opinion shall
               be provided to the Executive) such Total Payments (in whole or in
               part) (i) do not constitute parachute payments, including
               (without limitation) by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the
               Code, (ii) such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part)
               represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered,
               within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, or (iii)
               are not, in the opinion of legal counsel, otherwise subject to
               the Excise Tax, and

          (b)  the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or
               benefit shall be determined by the Company's independent auditors
               in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4)
               of the Code.

          9.3 In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be
less than the amount taken into account hereunder, the Executive shall repay to
the Company, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is
finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such
reduction plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in
Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. In the event that the Excise Tax is
determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of the
termination of

the Executive's employment (including by reason of any payment the existence
or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the initial Gross-Up
Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in accordance
with SUBSECTION 9.1 in respect of such excess Excise Tax (plus any interest,
penalties or additions payable by the Executive with respect to such excess
Excise Tax) at the time that the amount of such excess Excise Tax is finally
determined. The Executive and the Company shall each reasonably cooperate with
each other in connection with any administrative or judicial proceedings
concerning the existence or amount of any such subsequent liability for Excise
Tax with respect to the Total Payments.

     10. INDEMNIFICATION.

          10.1 GENERAL. The Company agrees that if the Executive is made a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an "INDEMNIFIABLE ACTION"), by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member,
employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit
plans, whether or not the basis of such Indemnifiable Action is alleged action
in an official capacity as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, while
serving as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, he shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by
Nevada law and the Company's by-laws, as the same exist or may hereafter be
amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid
in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection
therewith.

          10.2 PROCEDURE. The indemnification provided pursuant to this SECTION
10 shall be subject to the following conditions:

          (a)  The Executive must promptly give the Company written notice of
               any actual or threatened Indemnifiable Action;

          (b)  The Company will be permitted, at its option, to participate in,
               or to assume, the defense of any Indemnifiable Action;

          (c)  The Executive must provide reasonable cooperation to the Company
               in the defense of any Indemnifiable Action; and

          (d)  The Executive must refrain from settling any Indemnifiable Action
               without obtaining the Company's prior written consent, which
               consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                                                                           ---

          10.3 ADVANCEMENT OF COSTS AND EXPENSES. The Company agrees to advance
all costs and expenses referred to in SUBSECTION 10.1; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Executive agrees to repay to the Company all amounts so advanced in the
event that the Company reasonably determines in good faith that any acts or
omissions by the Executive were:

          (a)  in knowing violation of any agreement between the Executive and
               the Company;

          (b)  in bad faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing
               violation of law or that the Executive personally gained a
               financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally
               entitled; or

          (c)  for which a court, having jurisdiction in the matter, determines
               that indemnification is not lawful.

          10.4 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending an Indemnifiable Action in advance of
its final disposition conferred in this SECTION 10 shall not be exclusive of any
other right which the Executive may have or hereafter may acquire under any
statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the
Company, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise.

          10.5 D&O INSURANCE. The Company will maintain a directors' and
officers' liability insurance policy covering the Executive that provides
coverage that is reasonable in relation to the Executive's position during the
Term of Employment.

     11. COVENANT NOT ENGAGE IN CERTAIN ACTS.

          11.1 GENERAL. The Parties understand and agree that the purpose of the
restrictions contained in this SECTION 11 is to protect the goodwill and other
legitimate business interests of the Company, and that the Company would not
have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions. The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions are reasonable and do
not, and will not, unduly impair his ability to make a living after the
termination of his employment with the Company. The provisions of this SECTION
11 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.

          11.2 NON-ASSISTANCE; NON-DIVERSION. In consideration for this
Agreement to employ the Executive and the other valuable consideration provided
hereunder, the Executive agrees and covenants that during the Term of Employment
and during the Restriction Period, and except when acting on behalf of the
Company or on behalf of any Affiliate, the Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, for himself or any third party, or alone or as a member of a
partnership, or as an officer, director, shareholder or otherwise, engage in the
following acts:

          (a)  divert or attempt to divert any existing business of the Company
               or any Affiliate;

          (b)  accept any position or affiliation with, or render any services
               on behalf of, any Competing Business; or

          (c)  hire or retain any employee of the Company or any Affiliate to
               provide services for any other Person or induce, solicit, attempt
               to solicit, encourage, divert, cause or attempt to cause any
               employee or prospective employee of the Company or any Affiliate
               to (i) terminate and/or leave such employment, or (ii) accept
               employment with anyone other than the Company or an Affiliate.

          11.3 CESSATION/REIMBURSEMENT OF PAYMENTS. If the Executive violates
any provision of this SECTION 11, the Company may, upon giving written notice to
the Executive, immediately cease all payments and benefits that it may be
providing to the Executive pursuant to SECTION 3, SECTION 6 or SUBSECTION 7.2,
and the Executive may be required to reimburse the Company for any payments
received from, and the cash value of any benefits provided by, the Company
between the first day of the violation and the date such notice is given;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall be in addition to such other
remedies as may be available to the Company and shall not be deemed to permit
the Executive to forego or waive such payments in order to avoid his obligations
under this SECTION 11.

          11.4 SURVIVAL. The Executive agrees that the provisions of this
SECTION 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination
of the Executive's employment.

     12. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND COMPANY PROPERTY.

          12.1 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Executive understands and
acknowledges that Confidential Information constitutes a valuable asset of the
Company and its Affiliates and may not be converted to the Executive's own or
any third party's use. Accordingly, the Executive hereby agrees that he shall
not directly or indirectly, during the Term of Employment or any time
thereafter, disclose any Confidential Information to any Person not expressly
authorized by the Company to receive such Confidential Information. The
Executive further agrees that he shall not directly or indirectly, during the
Term of Employment or any time thereafter, use or make use of any Confidential
Information in connection with any business activity other than that of the
Company. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not intended
to, and does not, alter either the Company's rights or the Executive's
obligations under any state or federal statutory or common law regarding trade
secrets and unfair trade practices.

          12.2 COMPANY PROPERTY. All Company Property is and shall remain
exclusively the property of the Company. Unless authorized in writing to the
contrary, the Executive shall promptly, and without charge, deliver to the
Company on the termination of employment hereunder, or at any other time the
Company may so request, all Company Property that the Executive may then possess
or have under his control.

          12.3 REQUIRED DISCLOSURE. In the event the Executive is required by
law or court order to disclose any Confidential Information or to produce any
Company Property, the Executive shall promptly notify the Company of such
requirement and provide the Company with a copy of any court order or of any law
which requires such disclosure and, if the Company so elects, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, give the Company an adequate opportunity, at its
own expense, to contest such law or court order prior to any such required
disclosure or production by the Executive.

          12.4 SURVIVAL. The Executive agrees that the provisions of this
SECTION 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination
of the Executive's employment.

     13. MUTUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

          13.1 ARBITRABLE CLAIMS. All disputes between the Executive (and his
attorneys, successors, and assigns) and the Company (and its trustees,
beneficiaries, officers, directors, managers, affiliates, employees, agents,
successors, attorneys, and assigns) relating in any manner whatsoever to the
employment or termination of the Executive, including, without limitation, all
disputes arising under this Agreement ("ARBITRABLE CLAIMS"), shall be resolved
by binding arbitration as set forth in this SECTION 13 (the "MUTUAL ARBITRATION
AGREEMENT"). Arbitrable Claims shall include, but are not limited to, claims for
compensation, claims for breach of any contract or covenant (express or
implied), and tort claims of all kinds, as well as all claims based on any
federal, state, or local law, statute or regulation, but shall not include the
claims based on the statutes enumerated in SUBSECTION 13.4 or the Company's
right to seek injunctive relief as provided in SECTION 15. Arbitration shall be
final and binding upon the Parties and shall be the exclusive remedy for all
Arbitrable Claims. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY
JUDGE OR JURY IN REGARD TO ARBITRABLE CLAIMS, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY SECTION
13.4.

          13.2 PROCEDURE. Arbitration of Arbitrable Claims shall be in
accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of
the American Arbitration Association, as amended, and as augmented in this
Agreement. Either Party may bring an action in court to compel arbitration under
this Agreement and to enforce an arbitration award. Otherwise, neither Party
shall initiate or prosecute any lawsuit, appeal or administrative action in any
way related to an Arbitrable Claim. The initiating Party must file and serve an
arbitration claim within sixty (60) days of learning the facts giving rise to
the alleged claim. All arbitration hearings under this Agreement shall be
conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the
interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement. The fees of the arbitrator
shall be divided equally between both Parties.

          13.3 CONFIDENTIALITY. All proceedings and all documents prepared in
connection with any Arbitrable Claim shall be confidential and, unless otherwise
required by law, the subject matter and content thereof shall not be disclosed
to any Person other than the parties to the proceedings, their counsel,
witnesses and experts, the arbitrator and, if involved, the court and court
staff.

     15. RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The Executive acknowledges that a
violation on his part of any of the covenants contained in SECTIONS 11 AND 12
would cause immeasurable and irreparable damage to the Company. The Executive

issued or ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction.

including amendment of any plan document, to effect the provision of benefits
expressly provided upon termination of the Executive's employment pursuant to
SECTIONS 6 AND 7.

     17. BENEFICIARIES/REFERENCES. The Executive shall be entitled to select a
beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable
hereunder following the Executive's death, and may change such election, by
giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of the Executive's death
or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to
the Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiaries,
estate or other legal representative.

     18. SURVIVORSHIP. The respective rights and obligations of the Parties
hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement
to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and
obligations. The provisions of this SECTION 18 are in addition to the
survivorship provisions of any other section of this Agreement.

     19. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Party represents and warrants that
he or it is fully authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement and that
the performance of his or its obligations under this Agreement will not violate
any Agreement between that Party and any other Person.

     20. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between
the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior
agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether
written or oral, express or implied, between the Parties with respect hereto. No
representations, inducements, promises or agreements not embodied herein shall
be of any force or effect.

     21. ASSIGNABILITY; BINDING NATURE. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, heirs and
assigns; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no rights or obligations of the Executive under

rights to compensation and benefits hereunder, which may be transferred only by
will or operation of law and subject to the limitations of this Agreement; and

obligations and duties of the Company under this Agreement, either
contractually or as a matter of law.

     22. AMENDMENT OR WAIVER. No provision in this Agreement may be amended or
waived unless such amendment or waiver is agreed to in writing, signed by both
Parties. No waiver by one Party of any breach by the other Party of any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other Party
shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at
the same or any prior or subsequent time. No failure of the Company to exercise
any power given it hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance by the
Executive with any obligation hereunder, and no custom or practice at variance
with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of the right of the Company to
demand strict compliance with the terms hereof.

full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. If either SECTION
6, SECTION 7 or SECTION 11 is determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any
reason, in whole or in part, either Party may terminate this Agreement without
further obligations or duties hereunder.

     24. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without reference
to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. In the event of any dispute or
controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is not an
arbitrable claim, the Parties mutually and irrevocably consent to, and waive any
objection to, the exclusive jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction
in Clark County, Nevada, to resolve such dispute or controversy.

     25. HEADINGS. The headings of the sections and subsections 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.

     26. 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. Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any
counterpart of this Agreement and reattached to any other counterpart of this
Agreement identical in form hereto but having attached to it one or more
additional signature pages.
