Company shall defend Executive in connection with any such claims and shall reimburse

Executive’s directly incurred defense costs. Company shall cause Executive to be covered by the current policies of director and officer liability insurance covering directors and officers of Company, copies of which have been provided to Executive, in accordance with their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any director or officer of Company. Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the current policies of directors and officers liability insurance covering directors and officers of Company to be maintained throughout the Term and for such period thereafter as may be necessary to continue to cover acts of Executive during the term of her employment (provided that Company may substitute therefor, or allow to be substituted therefor, policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous to the insured in any material respect).

6.1.1 Failure to Perform Duties. If Executive neglects to perform the material duties of her employment under this Agreement in a professional and businesslike manner after having received written notice specifying such failure to perform and after the expiration following such notice of a period providing a reasonable opportunity to perform such duties (or as soon thereafter as practicable so long as Executive commences effectuation of such remedy within such time period and diligently pursues such remedy to completion as soon as possible).

6.1.3 Wrongful Acts. If Executive is convicted of a felony involving acts of moral turpitude or commits fraud, misrepresentation, embezzlement or other acts of material misconduct against Company (including violating or condoning the violation of any material rules or regulations of gaming authorities which could have a material adverse effect on Company) that would make the continuance of her employment by Company materially detrimental to Company.

If Executive is physically or mentally disabled from the performance of a major portion of her duties for a continuous period of 120 days or greater, which determination shall be made in the reasonable exercise of Company’s judgment, provided, however, if Executive’s disability is the result of a serious health condition as defined by the federal Family and Medical Leave Act or any

equivalent, applicable state law (“FMLA”), Executive’s employment shall not be terminated due to such disability at any time during or after any period of FMLA-qualified leave except as permitted by FMLA. If there should be a dispute between Company and Executive as to Executive’s physical or mental disability for purposes of this Agreement, the question shall be settled by the opinion of an impartial reputable physician or psychiatrist agreed upon by the parties or their representatives, or if the parties cannot agree within ten days after a request for designation of such party, then a physician or psychiatrist designated by the Clark County Medical Association or equivalent association located in metropolitan area of Cincinnati, Ohio.

6.5.1 Payment of Salary and Expenses Upon Termination. If Executive’s employment with Company terminates for any reason, the Term shall terminate concurrently therewith, and Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Executive all earned but unpaid salary and accrued but unused vacation benefits (if any) through the Termination Date (as defined below), payable within thirty (30) days following the Termination Date, or such earlier date as required by applicable law. In addition, promptly upon submission by Executive of her unpaid expenses incurred prior to the Termination Date and owing to Executive pursuant to Article 5, reimbursement for such expenses shall be made. In addition, Company shall make all payments and fulfill its obligations provided in Section 4.4.

6.5.2 Termination for Cause. If Executive’s employment and the Term of this Agreement are terminated for “Cause,” Executive shall not be entitled to receive any payments other than

(a) Termination for Disability or Death. In the event of a termination under Section 6.1.4 (for disability) or 6.1.6 (for death), Executive shall receive the benefits under the life and long term disability insurance policies which Company provides pursuant to Section 4.2.5. Eligibility and benefits with regard to either insurance program shall be governed by the provisions of the insurance program or policy and shall not be the responsibility of Company except that Company has the obligation to purchase such insurance and make payments such that the policies remain effective during the Term. In the event of a termination under Section 6.1.4, the “Covenant Not to Compete” set forth in Section 7.3 below shall not apply in any respect to Executive and the term of the “No Hire Away Policy” in Section 7.4 shall be limited to six months from the date of termination

6.5.3 Termination Without Cause or Termination by Executive for Good Reason. If Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive terminates her employment for Good Reason, then following Executive’s Separation from Service (as defined below) (such date, the “Termination Date”), in each case subject to and conditioned upon compliance with Section 6.8 below (in addition to amounts payable under Section 6.5.1 above):

(a) Cash Severance. Executive shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the sum of (i) an amount equal to the average Annual Bonus earned by Executive with respect to two (2) years immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs, adjusted pro rata for the portion of the year worked by Executive between the immediately preceding January 1 and the Termination Date, and (ii) one (1) year’s Base Salary (collectively, the “Severance”), payable in substantially equal installments in accordance with Company’s normal payroll procedures during the period commencing on the date of Executive’s “separation from service” from Company (within the meaning of Section 409A (as defined below) (a “Separation from Service”) and ending on the first anniversary of the Termination Date provided, that no Severance payments shall be made prior to the first payroll date occurring on or after the thirtieth (30^th) day following the date of such Separation from Service (such payroll date, the “First Payroll Date”) (with amounts otherwise payable prior to the First Payroll Date paid on the First Payroll Date without interest thereon); provided, further, that if a Change in Control that constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A occurs within six (6) months before the Termination Date, the amounts payable under this Section 6.5.3(a) shall be paid in a lump-sum on the First Payroll Date.

(b) Prior Year Bonus. Executive shall be entitled to receive any unpaid Annual Bonus to which Executive would have become entitled for the calendar year of Company that ends prior to the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs had Executive remained employed through the payment date, payable in a single lump-sum payment on the date on which annual bonuses are paid to Company’s senior executives generally for such calendar year, but in no event later than March 15^th of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs, with the actual date within such period determined by Company in its sole discretion.

(c) Benefits. Executive will also be entitled to receive health benefits coverage for Executive and her dependents, and life and disability insurance coverage for Executive, under the same or comparable plan(s) or arrangement(s) under which Executive was covered immediately before her termination of employment. Such health benefits and

insurance coverage shall be paid for by Company to the same extent as if Executive were still employed by Company, and Executive will be required to make such payments as Executive would be required to make if Executive were still employed by Company. The benefits provided under this Section 6.5.3(c) shall continue until the earlier of (1) the first anniversary of the Termination Date or (2) the date Executive becomes covered under any other group health plan or group disability plan (as the case may be) not maintained by Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that if such other group health plan excludes any pre-existing condition that Executive or Executive’s dependents may have when coverage under such group health plan would otherwise begin, coverage under this Section 6.5.3(c) shall continue (but not beyond the period described in clause (1) of this sentence) with respect to such pre-existing condition until such exclusion under such other group health plan lapses or expires. In the event Executive is required to make an election under Sections 601 through 607 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (commonly known as COBRA) to qualify for the benefits described in this Section 6.5.3(c), the obligations of Company and its subsidiaries under this Section 6.5.3(c) shall be conditioned upon Executive’s timely making such an election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any plan pursuant to which such benefits are provided is not, or ceases prior to the expiration of the period of continuation coverage to be, exempt from the application of Section 409A under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(a)(5), or (ii) Company is otherwise unable to continue to cover Executive under its group health plans without incurring penalties (including without limitation, pursuant to Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), then, in either case, an amount equal to each remaining Company subsidy shall thereafter be paid to Executive in substantially equal monthly installments over the continuation coverage period (or the remaining portion thereof). In addition, Company shall continue to maintain each Insurance Policy until the first anniversary of the Termination Date.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) The “Covenant Not to Compete” set forth in Section 7.3 below shall not apply in any respect to Executive (except as the same may affect her entitlement to payments under Section 6.5.3(a) hereof) and the term of the “No Hire Away Policy” in Section 7.4 shall be limited to six months from the Termination Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a condition to Executive’s right to receive the amounts provided for in Sections 6.5.3(a) - (d) hereof that Executive (or Executive’s estate or beneficiaries, if applicable) execute and deliver to Company an effective release of claims in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) within twenty-one (21) days (or, to the extent required by law, forty-five (45) days) following the Termination Date and that Executive (or Executive’s estate or beneficiaries, if applicable) not revoke such Release during any applicable revocation period. In addition, Company shall execute a general release of claims in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Should Executive compete with Company or its subsidiaries prior to the end of first anniversary of the Termination Date in a manner that would have violated Section 7.3 but for the effect of Section 6.5.3(e), Executive shall not be entitled to receive any additional payments from Company under this Section 6.5.3 with respect to periods after the commencement of any such competitive activity or otherwise and all such remaining obligations shall be extinguished.

6.6. Suspension. In lieu of terminating Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause under Section 6.1, Company shall have the right, at its sole election, to suspend the performance of duties by

Executive under this Agreement during the continuance of events or circumstances under Section 6.1 for an aggregate of not more than 30 days during the Term (the “Default Period”) by giving Executive written notice of Company’s election to do so at any time during the Default Period. Company shall have the right to extend the Term beyond its normal expiration date by the period(s) of any suspension(s). Company’s exercise of its right to suspend the operation of this Agreement shall not preclude Company from subsequently terminating Executive’s employment hereunder. Executive shall not render services to any other person, firm or corporation in the casino business during any period of suspension. Executive shall be entitled to continued compensation and benefits pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement during the Default Period.

6.7 [Reserved].

6.8 Six-Month Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits, including without limitation any severance payments or benefits payable under Section 6.5.3 hereof, shall be paid to Executive during the six (6)-month period following Executive’s Separation from Service if Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such six (6)-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of Executive’s death), Company shall pay Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to Executive during such period.

ARTICLE 7

CONFIDENTIALITY

7.1 Nondisclosure of Confidential Material. In the performance of her duties, Executive may have access to confidential records, including, but not limited to, legal matters, contractual agreements, development, marketing, organizational, financial, managerial, administrative and sales information, data, specifications and processes presently owned or at any time hereafter developed or used by Company or its agents or consultants that is not otherwise part of the public domain (collectively, the “Confidential Material”); provided, however, that financial information shall not be considered Confidential Information after the expiration of one year following termination of Executive’s employment, and all other information shall not be considered Confidential Information after the expiration of two years following termination of Executive’s employment. All such Confidential Material is considered secret and is disclosed to Executive in confidence. Executive acknowledges that the Confidential Material constitutes proprietary information of Company which draws independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who could obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and that Company has taken efforts reasonable under the circumstances, of which this Section 7.1 is an example, to maintain its secrecy. Except in the performance of her duties to Company or as required by a court order, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly for any reason whatsoever, disclose, divulge, communicate, use or otherwise disclose any such Confidential Material, unless such Confidential Material ceases to be confidential because it has become part of the public domain (not due to a breach by Executive of her obligations hereunder). Executive shall also take all reasonable actions appropriate to maintain the secrecy of all Confidential Information. All records, lists, memoranda, correspondence, reports, manuals, files, drawings, documents, equipment, and other tangible items (including computer software), wherever located, incorporating the Confidential Material, which Executive shall prepare, use or encounter, shall be and remain Company’s sole and exclusive property and shall be included in the Confidential Material. Upon termination of this Agreement, or whenever requested by Company or discovered by Executive, Executive

shall promptly use her best efforts to deliver to Company any and all of the Confidential Material, not previously delivered to Company, that is in the possession or under the control of Executive. Provided that Executive returns all Confidential Materials as required by this provision, this provision shall not apply to the use by Executive of information that Executive knows or has learned in the course of her employment by Company and that Executive cannot avoid using in the course of her duties in any subsequent employment.

7.2 Assignment of Intellectual Property Rights. Any ideas, processes, know-how, copyrightable works, mask works, trade or service marks, trade secrets, inventions, developments, discoveries, improvements and other matters that may be protected by intellectual property rights, that relate to Company’s business and are the results of Executive’s efforts during the Term (collectively, the “Executive Work Product”), whether conceived or developed alone or with others, and whether or not conceived during the regular working hours of Company, shall be deemed works made for hire and are the property of Company. In the event that for whatever reason such Executive Work Product shall not be deemed a work made for hire, Executive agrees that such Executive Work Product shall become the sole and exclusive property of Company, and Executive hereby assigns to Company her entire right, title and interest in and to each and every patent, copyright, trade or service mark (including any attendant goodwill), trade secret or other intellectual property right embodied in Executive Work Product. Company shall also have the right, in its sole discretion to keep any and all of Executive Work Product as Company’s Confidential Material. The foregoing work made for hire and assignment provisions are and shall be in consideration of this agreement of employment by Company, and no further consideration is or shall be provided to Executive by Company with respect to these provisions. Executive agrees to execute any assignment documents Company may require confirming Company’s ownership of any of Executive Work Product. Executive also waives any and all moral rights with respect to any such works, including without limitation any and all rights of identification of authorship and/or rights of approval, restriction or limitation on use or subsequent modifications.

7.3 Covenant Not to Compete. In the event this Agreement is terminated by Company for Cause under Section 6.1 above, or by Executive without Good Reason, then for a period of one (1) year after the Termination Date, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, work for or provide services to, or own an equity interest (except for a Permissible Investment) in any person, firm or entity engaged in the casino gaming, card club or horse racing business which competes against Company in any “market” in which Company owns, operates or has commenced substantive development plans and/or construction plans (“Plans”) for a casino, card club or horse racing facility. For purposes of this Agreement, “market” shall be defined as the area within a 100 mile radius of any casino, card club or horse racing facility owned or operated by Company or in which the Company has developed Plans. Design or development of a casino, card club or horse racing facility that does not operate during the non-compete period does not constitute competition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be in conflict with the professional rules of conduct in any jurisdiction in which the Executive is licensed to practice law, and in the event of such conflict, any applicable rules of professional conduct shall control.

7.4 No Hire Away Policy. In the event this Agreement is terminated prior to the normal expiration of the Term, either by Company for Cause under Section 6.1 above, or by Executive without Good Reason, then for a period of one year after the Termination Date, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, for herself or on behalf of any entity with which he is affiliated or employed, hire any person known to Executive to be an employee of Company or any of its subsidiaries (or any person known to Executive to have been such an employee within six months prior to such occurrence unless such employee was laid-off or terminated by Company). Executive shall not be deemed to hire any such person so long as he did not directly or indirectly engage in or encourage such hiring.

7.5 Non-Solicitation of Customers. During the Term and for a period of one year thereafter, or for a period of one year after the earlier termination of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term, and regardless of the reason for such termination (whether by Company or Executive), Executive shall not use customer lists or Confidential Material to solicit any customers of Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective casinos or card clubs, or knowingly encourage any such customers to leave Company’s casinos or card clubs or knowingly encourage any such customers to use the facilities or services of any competitor of Company or its subsidiaries.

7.6 Irreparable Injury. The promised service of Executive under this Agreement and the other promises of this Article 7 are of special, unique, unusual, extraordinary, or intellectual character, which gives them peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law.

7.7 Remedies for Breach. Executive agrees that money damages will not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the obligations under this Article 7 and Article 2 hereof and that Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief (which shall include, but not be limited to, restraining Executive from directly or indirectly working for or having an ownership interest (except for a Permissible Investment in any person engaged in the casino, gaming or horse racing businesses) which violates this Agreement) and to specific performance as remedies for any such breach. Executive agrees that Company shall be entitled to such relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of proving actual damages and without the necessity of posting a bond or making any undertaking in connection therewith. Any such requirement of a bond or undertaking is hereby waived by Executive and Executive acknowledges that in the absence of such a waiver, a bond or undertaking might otherwise be required by the court. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for any breach of the obligations in this Article 7, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.

ARTICLE 8

FEES AND COSTS

8.1 Fees and Costs. The prevailing party in any litigation which results from disagreements between Company and Executive regarding this Agreement, as determined by the courts, and in any enforcement or other court proceedings, shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to reimbursement from the other party for all of the prevailing party’s costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees. Such reimbursement, however, shall be limited to the lesser of the total amount expended by either party.

ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Representations. Executive hereby represents and warrants to Company that (a) Executive is entering into this Agreement voluntarily and that the performance of Executive’s obligations hereunder will not violate any agreement between Executive and any other person, firm, organization or other entity, and (b) Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party to refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or other party that would be violated by Executive’s entering into this Agreement and/or providing services to Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Company represents that Company has all corporate authority and all actions have been taken for it to enter into this Agreement, that this Agreement will not violate the terms

of any other material agreements to which it is a party, and that the signatory to this Agreement on Company’s behalf has all required corporate authority to bind Company to this Agreement.

9.2 Amendments. The provisions of this Agreement may not be waived, altered, amended or repealed in whole or in part except by the signed written consent of the parties sought to be bound by such waiver, alteration, amendment or repeal.

9.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the total and complete agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements heretofore made, and there are no other representations, understandings or agreements.

9.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one of more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered on electronically transmitted documents shall be effective to bind the signatory as though such documents were delivered in physical form.

9.5 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 deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the court finding such invalidity or unenforceability shall modify or reform this Agreement to give as much effect as possible to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Any term or provision which cannot be so modified or reformed shall be deleted and the remaining terms and provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

9.6 Waiver or Delay. The failure or delay on the part of Company or Executive to exercise any right or remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

9.13.1 To the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder (together, “Section 409A”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Company determines that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may be subject to Section 409A, Company shall work in good faith with Executive to adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that Company determines are necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A, including without limitation, actions intended to (i) exempt the compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement from Section 409A, and/or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A; provided, however, that this Section 9.13.1 shall not create an obligation on the part of Company to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action, nor shall Company have any liability for failing to do so.

9.13.2 Any right to a series of installment payments pursuant to this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. To the extent permitted under Section 409A, any separate payment or benefit under this Agreement or otherwise shall not be deemed “nonqualified deferred

compensation” subject to Section 409A to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision of Section 409A.

9.13.3 To the extent that any payments or reimbursements provided to Executive under this Agreement are deemed to constitute compensation to Executive to which Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) would apply, such amounts shall be paid or reimbursed reasonably promptly, but not later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of any such payments eligible for reimbursement in one year shall not affect the payments or expenses that are eligible for payment or reimbursement in any other taxable year, and Executive’s right to such payments or reimbursement of any such expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.
