WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue the services of Employee, and Employee is willing to continue as an employee of the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.  This Agreement supersedes and replaces all prior agreements between the Company and Employee regarding the subject matter hereof.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows;

 

1.           Engagement; Nature of Duties.  The Company hereby engages Employee, for the period hereinafter set forth, to serve as and hold the office of Chief Operating Officer, and to perform the duties of such offices as provided in the Bylaws of the Company and as directed by the Board of Directors of the Company.  Employee agrees to serve in such capacity and to do and perform the service, acts, or things necessary to carry out the duties of such office, and such other duties, not inconsistent with such offices and Employee’s position as an executive officer of the Company.  Employee shall report only to the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors of the Company from time to time.  It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that employment in the capacity of the aforementioned offices was a material inducement to Employee to enter into this Agreement.

 

2.           Term.  The term of employment pursuant to this Agreement shall be for a period of three (3) years, commencing on September 1, 2010 (the “Commencement Date”), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof (the “Term”).

 

3.           Performance of Duties.  Employee shall devote such time and attention to Employee’s duties as may be reasonably necessary to perform and carry out such duties, but in any event, a minimum of 40 hours per week.

 

4.           Employee shall perform her duties hereunder primarily in the Las Vegas, Nevada area, and shall not be required to perform such duties on a regular basis at any other location except for site or location visits to be conducted by Employee from time to time.  Employee shall not be required to relocate without her consent.

 

5.           Compensation.

(b)           Discretionary Bonus.  Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus during her employment at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (or its Compensation Committee).  It is expected that in determining whether to grant a bonus and the amount thereof, if any, the Board will consider the Company’s results of operations and Employee’s contribution thereto which may be based on performance criteria established from time to time by the Board.

 

(c)           Stock Compensation.  Effective as of the date hereof, the Company shall grant to Employee three-year options (the “Options”) to purchase an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in three tranches of 100,000 (each a “Tranche”).  All of the Options shall be exercisable at $.82 per share, the fair market value thereof on the date hereof.  The First Tranche shall vest on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date; the second Tranche on the second anniversary; and the third Tranche on the third anniversary.  Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason other than for Cause, any Options not previously vested shall immediately vest and be exercisable for a period of one year from the date of termination.

8.           Vacation.  During each year of the Term, Employee shall be entitled to a vacation of four (4) weeks, without deduction of salary.  Such vacation shall be taken at such time or times during the applicable year as may be mutually determined by Employee and the Company.  Any additional vacation period shall be determined by the Company consistent with the general customs and practices of the Company applicable to its personnel.
